Jiangling City is right on the Yangtze River. From Jiangling City, you can take a boat directly into Sichuan or go down the river, and you can reach various important towns in Jiangdong along the way.

If the various tributaries are also taken into account, then by boat from Gangneung, you can reach almost any place in the south - most of the towns in the south are concentrated near the water.

Although the south is vast and sparsely populated, and the number of towns is not comparable to that in the north, almost all towns can be reached by water, which fully demonstrates how dense and developed the water network in the south is.

However, today's dense and convenient water network is giving Liu Xuan a headache.

"This is the Yangtze River!"

Although it is not as majestic as the sea, standing on the edge of the Yangtze River, people who see this river for the first time can't help but admire it. Although Cai Yan was concerned about his identity and did not speak, there was a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.

The Qiao sisters and Huang Yueying behaved very normally. They were born and raised in the south. Huang Yueying had not never been to the riverside during the years she lived in Jingzhou, and even did a lot of shrimp fishing.

At that time, she encouraged everyone to catch some fish and shrimps by the river, and then grilled them on the riverside.

“Let’s take a look at the scenery here!”

This is a good suggestion. Liu Xuan would definitely nod and agree to it. Anyway, he is idle - now the Sun family has retreated to Jiangdong, and the imperial army is stationed in Jiangling to reorganize and discuss the next plan.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss. In Lu Bu's words: Just fight him!

Anyway, Gan Ning is here this time. Even if it is just an ordinary warship, as long as he can get these soldiers on board, Lu Bu will have the confidence to completely pacify Jiangdong.

Because he himself would never feel uncomfortable due to such a bump, and the soldiers might not adapt to it, but even if their combat power, which is stronger than Jiangdong's army, is affected by this, it will not make them vulnerable.

Anyway, everyone will still start fighting, who is afraid of whom?

Moreover, the imperial troops and horses still have material advantages, so just letting Jiangdong go is what a fool would do.

Therefore, the imperial court arranged for people and horses to build warships on a large scale. It is estimated that the warships can be built before winter. When winter comes, Lu Bu can take advantage of the situation and lead troops and horses to pacify the counties in Jiangdong. Of course, Huang Yueying designed in Luoyang

Although the warship is still under development, it is not without any achievements. At least Huang Yueying has created a relatively convenient small cannon. According to Huang Yueying's design, this small cannon can fire one round per minute, and every time

They are all sunset bows with standard power.

There is no need for more. As long as there are about ten gates on each warship, the Jiangdong Navy can all go to the river to feed the bastards. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Industry did not make so many because the process is relatively complicated and they are all made of metal.

There are some relatively delicate parts, so even if we go all out to make them, there are only about twenty doors now, and they have all been brought here.

After the construction of the warships is completed, these twenty "sunset cannons" will be installed on several large ships as the main ships for the attack.

It can be said that there is no suspense here in Jiangdong. According to the news from Guan Yu yesterday, Tianshi Dao will not be able to survive this winter. Once the grain reserves in their hands are used up, Guan Yu will not allow them to harvest smoothly until this year.

Even if they are hungry, they can starve all the soldiers of Tianshi Dao to death.

After all, Tianshi Dao is not like the imperial court. After Liu Xuan arrived in Chang'an and found a relatively stable environment, he used various means to ensure the supply of food and grass. This also made the subsequent imperial troops never worry about food and grass.

Tianshi Dao is different. They don’t have so many means. The spells they master are more directly used in fighting and killing people. Although there are also some spells like praying for rain, those spells require specific environments and conditions.

A lot of preparation, but the final result is not necessarily good - there is not a severe drought every year, and whether the food harvest is good or not is not just a matter of enough rain.

What's more, there are really no people in Tianshi Dao who are proficient in strategy. At the same time, they can't come up with anything new and useful in governing the place. They still use the original governance method... In other words, where Tianshi Dao rules, and

There was no difference between the places ruled by the Han Dynasty in the past: those who deserved hardship were still miserable, and the places that had been living well in the past had become miserable due to the invasion and confiscation of Tianshi Dao.

It seems that Tianshi Dao really has no possibility of counterattack. Fortunately, he acted quickly enough. Otherwise, Zhang Lu would have been destroyed before Xu Shu had time to set off. If he wanted to find Zhang Lu at that time, he would have been killed.

It's not that easy anymore, and finding Zhang Lu in that kind of fleeing situation would easily make the other party suspicious.

No matter how you look at it, there is nothing in the world worth worrying about. Whether it is Yizhou or Jiangdong, everything is planned. He should happily walk around with beautiful women in his arms, then enjoy life and occasionally make some inventions.

, it is enough to change the world.

But since he got up today, he has always felt a little uncomfortable. This feeling is not physical, but a feeling transmitted from the spiritual level.

Although Liu Xuan couldn't figure out the reason, he didn't dare to take a peek at this strange feeling.

Although he couldn't detect any abnormality even though he tried various methods, his cultivation at this time had not yet returned to the level of the past, and his divine will was truly that of a peak immortal.

"Is there any accident going to happen?"

He frowned and thought for a while, then looked to the east, where the Jiangdong Army currently stationed its troops - the line from Chibi to Xiakou.

And Lu Bu has now begun to deploy troops and horses in Wulin. Watching all this happen is like a replica of the Battle of Chibi. However, Liu Xuan knows that neither the process nor the result will be what it was in history.

It is impossible for Jiangdong to cause any trouble to him, at least he would not think of it.

"Isn't it Jiangdong's place?"

If it’s not Jiangdong, it can’t be Yizhou? Judging from the news received so far, the combat power of Yizhou’s Tianshi Dao is not as good as that of the Sun family in Jiangdong. The only thing blocking the advance of Guan Yu’s army is the Shu Dao, which is incomparable to the sky.

.

"Where exactly is it?"

Raising his head and looking at the clear blue sky, Liu Xuan suddenly realized something.

"Could it be...that it comes from the universe?"

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Xuan could no longer remain calm. If it really came from the universe, then where would it come from? The Cultivation Empire?

This possibility cannot be ruled out, although he knows that his place is extremely far away from the scope of the Cultivation Empire. According to the expansion speed when he was there, it may not be possible for the Cultivation Empire to expand to the earth in another thousand years.

But that was under normal circumstances. What if those bastards had changed their policy over the past few decades, or if he had specifically sent out a hunting force to search for his traces? None of this was impossible.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xuan thought more and more that he felt that he had guessed the truth. It was undoubtedly impossible for him to sit here again under such circumstances, so he immediately got up and headed back to Jiangling City.

He didn't want to hide, but he wanted to make some preparations in advance.

No matter whether your guess is right or wrong, you should at least make some preparations in advance to avoid being in a hurry later.

His abnormal behavior certainly attracted the attention of several women, but Liu Xuan didn't speak, and it was difficult for them to ask questions. Once he returned to Jiangling City, Liu Xuan locked himself in the room and only said that he wanted to practice in seclusion.

I had no choice but to disperse, and then come over from time to time to see if it was okay.

Of course, these words are ineffective for someone. Huang Yueying ignored them and found an opportunity to get in. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Liu Xuan sitting there with a stern expression, holding a hand in his hand.

At the same time, he held the blood-red Chixiao, and at the same time, two golden dragons were constantly rotating around him. The dragon's mouth was upward, and just where the two golden dragons' mouths faced each other, there was a group of golden smoke that was constantly condensing and compressing.

"This is……?"

Huang Yueying was surprised when she looked at this gorgeous and strange sight. She had never seen Liu Xuan practicing before, but most of them were meditating there. Occasionally, if there were any strange phenomena, it would just be golden smoke floating around him or a flash of golden light. Never had this happened before

Such an exaggerated sight?

All this was so shocking that Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment and didn't know what kind of reaction to make. But when she came back to her senses, she immediately covered her mouth to stifle the scream that almost came out.

. She has already seen that Liu Xuan is in a very critical moment at this time. If all the previous efforts are wasted because of her interference, then it will be too big a disaster.

Liu Xuan saw her coming in, but when he saw her standing there without saying anything, he ignored her and continued to do her own thing. While Huang Yueying was stunned, the ball between the two golden dragons

The smoke slowly condensed into the shape of an egg. From the beginning, the ordinary white giant egg was slowly dyed with a touch of golden light and finally turned into a golden color.

After an unknown amount of time, the giant egg cracked open with a crackling sound, and then a golden baby dragon emerged directly from the broken egg shell. As soon as it appeared, it raised its head and let out a crisp dragon roar.

As soon as this little golden dragon appeared, Liu Xuan immediately let out a long breath, and as he exhaled, the two golden dragons that were coiled around him immediately disappeared into his body, while this young golden dragon stayed in

On top of his head, he opened his dragon's mouth and swallowed all the floating smoke clouds and golden eggshells.

After doing all this, the little golden dragon grew a little bigger, and then it got into Liu Xuan's head and disappeared.

"Why did you get in?"

It was only then that Liu Xuan had the time to ask, and Huang Yueying raised her neck: "I'm worried that something will happen to you, so I came to see you!" After saying that, he remembered Liu Xuan's abnormality a while ago.

His cultivation also had something to do with that situation: "By the way, what's going on with you these days?"

Liu Xuan smiled: "It's nothing, I just need to clean up a few trash fish myself, so I just need to make some preparations first!"
