    In anger, Liu Bei tore the divorce note in his hand into pieces, trying to vent his anger.

    Sun Qian, who was serving before the case, was frightened by Liu Bei's anger.  .

    He has followed Liu Bei for so many years and has never seen Liu Bei so angry. It seems that this time, his lord's dignity was really deeply stabbed by Yan Liang.

    The debris of Manyao was scattered, and Liu Bei's angry mood finally calmed down a little.

    After a long while, Sun Qiancai cautiously said: "A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Sooner or later, that thief Yan Liang will not be able to escape from the hands of the lord. But in the current situation, revenge is secondary. The lord should calm down and lead us through the situation in front of us.  Decline is the priority.¡±

    Liu Bei's mood gradually stabilized, and some composure reappeared on his gray face.

    "How is Yuanlong's condition?"

    Liu Bei thought of Chen Deng. Only a first-class counselor like Chen Deng could think of a way to deal with this situation.

    Sun Qian said: "Qian went to see the Chen Mansion before. Yuanlong's condition has worsened a lot. He has been bedridden for the past day. I'm afraid it's difficult to worry about the Lord."

    Liu Bei frowned and asked again: "What about Cheng Zhongde?"

    "My lord, have you forgotten? Cheng Zhongde has been sent to Yanzhou by your lord to deal with Yuan Shang's attack." Sun Qian reminded.

    Liu Bei suddenly remembered.

    Cheng Yu was admitted to the clan in Yanzhou. Now Yuan Shang's offensive in Yanzhou is unstoppable. As a last resort, Liu Bei could only send Cheng Yu to Yanzhou, hoping to use Cheng Yu's influence in Yanzhou to organize effective resistance.

    Chen Deng and Cheng Yu, the two first-rate counselors under Liu Bei, are now bedridden and the other is not around. At this critical moment, no one can share his worries.

    Liu Bei's heart couldn't help but cast another shadow.

    He stood up and walked in the study, his brows furrowed and his thoughts rolling like a tide.

    After thinking deeply for a long time, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something extremely important.

    "Where is uncle?" Liu Bei suddenly shouted.

    "The general is here." Chen Dao, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly entered.

    Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and said, "Get your horses ready quickly, I want to leave the city."

    Chen Dao left as ordered.

    Sun Qian asked curiously: "Lord, where are you going?"

    ¡°I¡¯m going to visit Langya Country.¡±

    "Langya Kingdom? What are you doing in Langya Kingdom, my lord?" Sun Qian became more and more confused.

    "Go and ask someone who has come out of the mountain to help you." A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Liu Bei's mouth.

    "Gao Jin" Sun Qian looked confused, but he became even more confused. ######Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

    Yan Liang rode his horse like flying, followed by Zhou Cang and other Tiger Guard soldiers, and a group entered the horse and galloped back towards Xiangyang.

    It was dusk, and Yan Liang had just returned from the shipyard in the northwest of Xiangyang.

    Yan Liang¡¯s expression was not very good. This inspection did not make him very satisfied.

    Since Yan Liang came to the Central Plains, the destruction of Wu has been put on the strategic agenda. To destroy Wu, a large naval army is indispensable.

    To build a navy, we must not only train soldiers who are familiar with water warfare, but also build large-scale warships.

    Since returning to Xiangyang, Yan Liang has issued secret orders to build several shipyards in Jiangling, Xiangyang, and near Linxiang, and recruited thousands of shipwrights from the entire Jingzhou to build warships day and night.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that through recent inspections, Yan Liang is quite dissatisfied with the capabilities of various shipyards.

    Not only the speed of shipbuilding, but also the quality of the ship cannot satisfy Yan Liang.

    Although Jingzhou has the advantage of Jianghan, the center of governance has been in Xiangyang since the time of Liu Biao. Although the navy is quite powerful, it is inferior to Soochow in terms of the combat effectiveness of its soldiers and the sophistication of its warships.  .

    The soldiers' ability to fight in the water is not bad. Now that Yan Liang has Lu Meng and Gan Ning, plus the newly surrendered Ling Tong, an outstanding water general, training the soldiers will not be a problem.

    The key factor restricting the development of the navy today is Jingzhou¡¯s shipbuilding capabilities.

    Among the various warships today, the largest ones are called building ships, which can be called the "aircraft carriers" of the cold weapon era. Currently, only Soochow has the technical ability to build such giant warships.

    The first class is called a fighting ship, the third class is called a stern ship, and the smallest one is called a walking ship.

    ?? If the high-rise ship can be described as an aircraft carrier, then the battleship can be called a battleship, the warship is a cruiser, and the final battleship is a destroyership.

    With the current technical level of Jingzhou craftsmen, they can only build the latter three types of warships.

    The key is that the technical capabilities of the shipwrights owned by Yan Liang are inferior to those of Soochow shipwrights, and the quality of the warships they build is inherently inferior to those of Wu ships.

    And the number of these shipwrights is far less than that of Soochow. Even if they work day and night for several years, they may not be able to build as many warships as the Soochow Navy.

    However, for Yan Liang, the destruction of Wu was imminent, and he simply did not have enough patience to wait until a sufficient number of warships were built.

    What's more, the Daxing battleship cannot be hidden from Wu Ru's meticulous work. Sooner or later, that boy Sun Quan will know what he is doing.

    At that time, Sun Quan will definitely be more vigilant in fear. In order to avoid delaying the development of Yan Liang's navy, he may even launch an attack on Jingzhou with the strength of his country.

    "If you want to destroy Wu, you have to work hard on warships"

    As Yan Liang was riding his horse, his thoughts were racing, and an idea was brewing in his mind.

    When we returned to Xiangyang, the setting sun was already shining in the west.

    Yan Liang entered the mansion and went straight to the inner courtyard. Before he was admitted to the hospital, he heard the childish shouts of "Huhuhaha" coming from the courtyard.

    When I entered the hospital, I saw little Deng Ai dancing with a big knife.

    At this time, Deng Ai was sweating profusely from practicing. The big knife in his hand did not match his thin body, and it seemed that it was quite difficult to dance.

    It has been nearly half a year since Yan Liang adopted Deng Ai as his adopted son. He taught Deng Ai swordsmanship a long time ago, but now that he has practiced it over and over again, it seems that he has not made any progress.

    Historically, Deng Ai's martial arts skills were extremely outstanding in the late Three Kingdoms period, and he was even able to fight evenly with Jiang Wei.

    What kind of person is Jiang Wei? His martial arts skills are unmatched by even Zhao Yun in a short period of time. It can be seen that Deng Ai is very talented in martial arts.

    But at the moment, Deng Ai has practiced swordsmanship for so long but has not made much progress, which seems to be inconsistent with his talent.

    "Such a piece of jade, if you become a self-taught person in history, you can become a famous general. Now it falls into my hands. If you train it into a mediocre person, it will be a big loss"

    Yan Liang looked at Deng Ai's laborious sword-wielding figure, looked at his thin figure, and secretly pondered in his heart how to carve this fine jade.

    Suddenly, a thought flashed in Yan Liang's mind.

    "If I remember correctly, the historical Deng Ai was good at marksmanship, and marksmanship relied mainly on dexterity and strength as a supplement. Ai'er has a thin body and a pre-existing lack of strength. If his strength is not good, he can use it on his own.  Apart from my domineering sword skills, it seems that my sword skills are not suitable for Ai'er"

    While he was deep in thought, Deng Ai, who was wielding a sword, glanced sideways at Yan Liang.

    "Father!" Deng Ai hurriedly made a sword gesture, ran over in a few steps, and bowed respectfully.

    Yan Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ai'er is exempt from the courtesy and is practicing hard again."

    Deng Ai wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and said, "Father, do you think my child's sword skills have improved?"

    After Zhang Zhongjing¡¯s treatment these days, Deng Ai¡¯s stuttering has greatly improved, and now he can barely speak fluently.

    Yan Liang did not comment on his sword skills. He was silent for a while and said, "Ai'er, from now on you don't need to practice the sword skills that your father taught you."

    "No more practice?"

    Deng Ai was startled, his dark eyes rolled around, and he looked a little panicked, "Father, could it be that the child is too stupid and didn't train well, which made the foster father unhappy?"

    Yan Liang laughed loudly, caressed Deng Ai's little head and said, "How can my adopted son, Yan Liang, be stupid? My father just thinks that you are not suitable for practicing swordsmanship. When your uncle Wen Ziqin comes back in a few days, I will let him teach you instead."  Your marksmanship."

    Wen Chou¡¯s martial arts skills are only slightly inferior to Yan Liang¡¯s, so it¡¯s a great luck to have Wen Chou teach him marksmanship.

    Deng Ai was relieved and thanked him repeatedly.

    ¡°Go and rest, don¡¯t tire yourself too much.¡±

    "Then boy, please leave first." Deng Ai was very polite and bowed deeply before retreating.

    When Yan Liang saw Deng Ai away and turned around, he saw his wife Huang Yueying leaning at the door and looking at him with a slight smile.

    Yan Liang also smiled, then stepped forward to pick up his wife and walked into the house together.

    "Ai'er, this child is indeed a wizard. My husband asked me to teach him the art of war. This child is a scholar."After a while, you can draw inferences from one instance to another. Husband, you are really discerning. You have discovered such a good idea from the countryside.  "

    Huang Yueying also spared her kind words and praised Deng Ai's qualifications.

    Yan Liang was quite pleased with his wife's praise, and felt a bit proud on his face.

    The couple sat down together, and Huang Yueying asked Yan Liang about today's inspection of the shipyard.

    Yan Liang shook his head and sighed: "The number and skills of our shipwrights are not as good as those of Soochow. The situation is not optimistic."

    At that moment, Yan Liang told his wife everything he saw during the inspection and his concerns.

    After hearing this, Huang Yueying's eyebrows also showed a bit of worry, "Liu Jingsheng has been in charge of Jingzhou for more than ten years. He only cares about recruiting scholars and does not pay much attention to the lower-level farmers and workers. It is reasonable that Jingzhou craftsmen are not as good as Soochow. Shipbuilding  This kind of thing can¡¯t be rushed for a moment.¡±

    "Of course I know I can't be in a hurry, but the situation is changing rapidly and I can't bear to be in a hurry." Yan Liang sighed.

    "That's true" Huang Yueying murmured, with a bit of anxiety in her expression.

    At this time, Yan Liang suddenly remembered the idea he had just outside the city. Now that his wife was in front of him, he suddenly asked: "Husband, I wonder how much you know about shipbuilding?"

    "Ship building?" Huang Yueying couldn't help but have a strange look in her eyes.
