Liu Jiwu still recognized Xu Fan's ability.

His arrival will definitely improve the Shun Army's water combat strength.

So Liu Jiwu had to let him regain his fighting spirit.

"Did you admit defeat? Or were you frightened by the Chinese people?

If you, Xu Fan, are really someone who can't afford to lose, you can take off your shirt now and go home to pick up your child! "

Liu Jiwu said to Xu Fan unceremoniously.

It's not that he doesn't need to use encouraging words to boost morale, but that Xu Fan's current state makes him very angry.

Lifeless, numb and sluggish!

To be an excellent general, you must not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat.

Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. It is definitely not a comforting word.

There are only a few victorious generals, and those who can absorb the strength from failure are more likely to succeed.

People who have repeatedly fought and failed are sometimes more worthy of admiration.

Liu Jiwu thinks that he can't do repeated battles and defeats, but he doesn't want to see his generals sink completely because of one defeat in a battle.

Xu Fan has not been in Nanhu County for a long time, but Liu Jiwu also does not want him to be like this.

Xu Fan is not a fool, he understands what Liu Jiwu means.

But what good would it do him to pick himself up again?

The warship is gone, and the soldiers under him are gone, what else can he do?

Can only wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

How could he be reconciled to being defeated by a small army?

He thinks about revenge all the time, but this is Nanhu County, not Sangnan County.

However, Liu Jiwu's arrival today made Xu Fan's silent heart fluctuate a little.

Liu Shuai did not give up on me!

In Xu Fan's mind, he made a fatal mistake, and not being punished is already the best result. Why should he support his revenge?

He is not the top general of Shun Kingdom, he has no strong backer in the army, he is not a relative of the emperor, and no one in the court supports him.

That's why Xu Fan didn't think about revenge.

Well now, Liu Jiwu's words made him understand that there is hope for revenge.

"Liu Shuai, of course I'm not reconciled! The last defeat was my fault, and I won't do it again next time!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Fan stared at Liu Jiwu with burning eyes.

Revenge is the support for him to restore his fighting spirit, but the premise of revenge is Liu Jiwu's support.

This is the purpose of Liu Jiwu's coming, "Okay! As long as you have the determination to defeat Qianguo, I will support you. You need ships and people."

As he said that, Liu Jiwu looked at Xu Fan, "But you have to let me and other people see the changes in the water army. You have to lead the water army to defeat the people of Qianguo."

Xu Fan said firmly: "No problem! If I lose again, I will fill myself in Dongting Lake."

"There are not many of you in Dongting Lake, so go and kill a few Gan Chinese! I can give you boats, food, and people, but I can't give you much time. It's not that I make things difficult for you. A decisive battle will be launched, and I suspect they have some conspiracy, I will give you half a month, and after half a month, the navy must be stronger than the people of Qian!"

Xu Fan really wanted to agree immediately, he thought that he would not let this opportunity pass by once he had avenged his shame, and if he agreed, he would have the hope of revenge.

But he didn't answer Liu Jiwu immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Liu Shuai, I have to look at the battlefield before I can answer you."

Liu Jiwu looked at Xu Fan in surprise, he did not expect that he still maintains such a rational mood.

"Okay, the people of Gan country will come to provoke again tomorrow, you take people to the lake to have a look, know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles, we should all know our enemy!"

Xu Fan nodded heavily.

A large part of the reason why the scout battalion was able to annihilate his navy last time was that the scout battalion knew their intelligence well, while Xu Fan knew nothing about the situation of the scout battalion.

Gu Sui He didn't even know how many people were in the scout camp, and where did they come from?

So this time he must know enough information before preparing to fight.

On the second day, the Qian army launched a daily attack on Dongting Lake.

The Shun army also habitually resisted.

Both sides are used to this kind of battle, and each side sent more than a hundred ships of different sizes. On the huge lake, more than two hundred ships were like a few ants crawling over a mirror, occupying only a small corner.

In the distance, there are some daring fishermen fishing on the lake.

During this period, Liu Qi began to deepen the reform of the New Deal, which benefited more fishermen.

So fishermen in Dongting County are very active now.

They are very confident in the army, "I won't lose!"

In their hearts, the dry army is the most powerful army.

Xu Fan stood on a small boat and set off with the fleet.

He did not command the Shun Army fleet to fight, nor did he rush to the forefront to take the lead.

Today he is a spectator, an observer.

He wants to walk around the battlefield and observe the combat effectiveness of both sides.

In the eyes of an expert in water warfare like Xu Fan, the water battle was very chaotic without any rules.

He could see that Ganjun and their Shunjun were looking for a strategy that suited them, but their implementation on the battlefield was very problematic.

This is indeed not a problem that can be solved by a single general who is good at water warfare.

The Shun army needs more and bigger warships, as well as more and more professional sailors.

Can he get these two things together in half a month?

Xu Fan's boat rowed further away, his time was very tight, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com could not waste any time.

The problem of the Shun army is also the problem of the Qian army. Unless the Qian army hides its strength, on Dongting Lake, the Qian army is no different from them.

"Half a month, if you can't do it, you have to do it!"

Xu Fan is very contemptuous of the strength of the dry army in water warfare. If his 2,000 water army is not destroyed, he is confident that he can defeat five times the number of dry troops (on the water).

Xu Fan asked to see Liu Jiwu again and gave his answer.

"Liu Shuai, I can do it!"

Liu Jiwu happily walked over and patted Xu Fan on the shoulder, "Okay! I, General Shunguo, must have the courage to become more and more courageous! I believe in you!"

Xu Fan was very moved by Liu Jiwu's trust. He vowed in his heart that he must train the navy well and teach the Qian people a lesson!

Just wait, see you in half a month!

Liu Jiwu gave Xu Fan 5,000 soldiers and 300 craftsmen, which was already the greatest support he could give to Xu Fan.

Money and food count!

The soldiers were fine. Liu Jiwu, as the commander-in-chief of a 100,000-strong army, had the right to recruit troops at any time to replenish soldiers, so there was not much pressure on Xu Fan to allocate 5,000 men.

No one has any objections to assigning a craftsman to Xu Fan, the navy! There is no boat to talk about He Shuijun.

Besides, this ship can not only be used by Xu Fan's navy, but other generals can also use it!

What is difficult is money, food and other military resources. For every stone Xu Fan gets, Liu Jiwu loses one stone.

Although without Xu Fan, these grains might not have reached some generals, but they still believed that Xu Fan had violated their interests.

Liu Jiwu is the commander-in-chief of the army, but the 100,000 army is not his, but the imperial court's, so he can't support Xu Fan without any scruples.

He can only hope that Xu Fan can be worthy of his trust and support, and after half a month, he will deal a serious blow to Qianguo, forcing Qianguo to end the war between Dongting Lake and Nanhu County.
