The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 202 Meeting Yan Xiang
"Lv Lingqi, are you telling the truth when you say you want to help our army train cavalry in Xiapi?" Li Yuan paid more attention to this matter.

"Brother, Lingqi is just joking, and I hope you don't take it seriously." Zhao Yun thought Li Yuanjie was concerned about this, so he hurriedly spoke for Lu Lingqi.

"Junior Brother, don't misunderstand me. I'm not angry. If Lu Lingqi is really familiar with Bingzhou iron cavalry tactics, then she really needs to help train the cavalry. After all, Junior Brother, you are very busy, and having her help can relieve your pressure, and it can also let Fei The cavalry has learned more cavalry tactics, so why not do it."

Li Yuan knew that Bingzhou iron cavalry was famous all over the world, if the flying cavalry army could learn the essence of it, it would definitely improve their combat power further.

"But Lingqi is a woman, so it might be inappropriate for her to go to the army."

Zhao Yun thought it was inappropriate for a woman to serve in the military camp. Leaving aside whether Lu Lingqi's ability could convince the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Army, it would be outrageous for a woman to mix with men.

"Why should the concept of junior and junior be constrained by traditional concepts? In my opinion, men and women should be equal. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Wu used female soldiers, and they were invincible on the battlefield. It proved that as long as they are trained properly, female soldiers are no worse than male soldiers. Lu Lingqi, after Lu Bu, Although she is a woman, I believe she has learned a lot from Lu Bu, and she should be allowed to try it out, and if she doesn't do well, I will remove her from her position."

As a modern person, Li Yuan will naturally not be constrained by the traditional concepts of the ancients, and he will look at things from a different angle.

"But..." Zhao Yun was still unwilling to let Lu Lingqi serve in the military camp.

"But what, Brother Zilong, General Li has already agreed, and it's useless for you to object."

Lu Lingqi stuck out her tongue mischievously, she didn't expect that Li Yuan would agree to this matter, which made her change her view of Li Yuan, thinking it's no wonder Gao Shun admired Li Yuan so much.

"Brother, are you serious?" Zhao Yun asked again, hoping that Li Yuan was just joking.

"Junior brother, there are no jokes in the army, how could I make fun of this kind of thing, from now on Lu Lingqi is a lieutenant general by your side, the position is the same as Zang Hong, you don't have to treat them differently, what you teach Zang Hong is the same You want to teach her, do you know?" Li Yuan said seriously, without any intention of joking.

"Yes." Zhao Yun could only nod helplessly in agreement, and Lu Lingqi smugly covered her mouth behind him and snickered.

A few days later, when Li Yuan came to Lujiang, Cheng Yu came out to greet him personally.

"Cheng Yu pays homage to the lord." Cheng Yu clasped his fists and said
"Zhongde, I heard that the merchant ship heading for Liaodong has returned, so I came here to check." Li Yuan came to Lujiang this time to check the merchant ship.

"That's right, Yan Xiang's merchant ship came back more than ten days ago. Although the journey was very difficult, it still successfully completed the important task of master bus agent."

Even Cheng Yu was a little surprised. He always believed that sailing from Lujiang to Liaodong was too far away, and there was basically no possibility of success. However, they succeeded after trying once. Efforts by Xiang et al.

"Yan Xiang and the others have worked hard. Without him recruiting and supervising craftsmen, Lujiang would not have been able to build so many ships so quickly. Without him sailing in person, it would not have been possible to reach Liaodong so smoothly and come back safely."

Li Yuan knew the hard work of the long voyage, especially in this age where science and technology are very underdeveloped, long voyage is a very hard job, but Yan Xiang didn't complain at all.

Cheng Yu took Li Yuan to the dock, and Yan Xiang worked very hard, eating and lodging at the dock, even though he had sailed back, he still didn't choose to rest, and still worked at the dock.

Li Yuan and Cheng Yu came to the dock on horseback. He was taken aback when he saw the dock, because he clearly remembered that when he left there was nothing but a big river, but now a huge dock has been built, nearly Hundreds of large and small warships are neatly arranged in the port, including building ships, rushing boats, and walking boats.

Among them, walking boats and boats are the most, and tower boats are the least, because the hull of tower boats is huge, more than ten feet high, and buildings are built on the boats. There are parapets, battle grids, tree flags, and the shape is like a fortress. It is one of the main warships. Li Yuan never thought that a warship of this scale could be built in Lujiang, far beyond his imagination.

Not far from the port and dock, Gan Ning built a water village to train the navy. The boats built in the dock would be handed over to Gan Ning. Gan Ning usually only used walking boats and boats, such as building boats. It was also the first time to use a large warship, so after getting the warship, he immediately led the soldiers on board to familiarize themselves with the operation and practice naval warfare. At this time, the soldiers were training on the ship in full swing.

Yan Xiang and the craftsmen are studying how to improve the warships. Although many warships have been built, he is not satisfied with this, but tries to improve the warships to further enhance the combat power.

"Yan Xiang, the lord is here." Cheng Yu noticed that Yan Xiang hadn't found Li Yuan, so he quickly reminded him.

Yan Xiang looked up and found that Li Yuan was Li Yuan, so he hurriedly walked over to salute, "Yan Xiang greets the lord!"

The surrounding boatmen also came over to salute one after another. After all, in their view, Li Yuan was a high-ranking and important man, so how could he come to such a place? It was rare to see him now, which made them extremely excited.

"Hahahaha, you are welcome, Yan Xiang, you have done a good job in the past two years. You have built so many ships for me and successfully opened up the route to Liaodong. You have suffered a lot compared to Yuanhang." Li Yuan I found that Yan Xiang had become darker and lost a lot of weight. It seemed that although this voyage was successful, the degree of hardship was definitely more difficult than imagined.

"Without my lord's suggestion, we would not be able to succeed." Yan Xiang still remembered that Li Yuan once told them to bring oranges and more fresh water during the long voyage, just in case they were not enough.

It is understandable to bring fresh water Yanxiang, but he can’t understand it with oranges. At the beginning, few people ate oranges. After more than a month, some people began to have swollen gums, bleeding, joint and muscle pain, etc., so he thought It seemed that Li Yuan had told them to eat oranges, so he immediately gave them some oranges. After a few days, he started to recover slowly, which made him admire Li Yuan's foresight.

"I know that it is very hard to open up the route this time. All sailors who participated in the long-distance voyage will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels. I hope you can teach these experiences to more soldiers." Li Yuan was not stingy, he should give The rewards will not be less.

"Thank you, my lord!" Many sailors who participated in the voyage expressed their gratitude one after another, and they were very excited. To them, a few taels of gold is a lot, but Li Yuan's big hand is worth a hundred gold. This sudden happiness made them feel happy Unexpected.
