After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Yuan Hao and Fengxiao are right. Ruxuwu Wharf is a nail that our army nails to Jiangnan. Although it cannot play any role now, its supply is difficult and the cost will be very high, but that is worth doing. This nail can play a role at any time, which is also a threatening effect for the princes in Jiangnan. Besides, our army will regain Yidao and conquer Yidao and conquer Big and Little Luzon Island in the next step. There must be several supply points in Jiangnan. You can't go to Changdao to replenish everything at that time. With the Ruxuwu Wharf base, our army will build a naval base on Yidao, and then the conquest of overseas will be a natural result."

After hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and said, "Lord, the base of Ruxuwu Wharf is very important. It will be attacked by the surrounding princes. Our army must station a certain number of soldiers there, especially if a general needs to garrison there, otherwise it will be difficult for ordinary generals to deal with the complicated situation around them. The first thing they face is the attack of Yuan Shu in Shouchun. Once the plague is over, if Yuan Shu's food and grass improve slightly, he will definitely attack Wancheng as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would even worry about our army's sneak attack at night. After all, our army is stationed at Ruxuwu Wharf, which poses too great a threat to him. Liu Biao's army in Jiangxia will also have ideas; there are several princes in Jiangdong opposite the river, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

After hearing this, Lu Ning glanced at Zhang Liao and said, "Fengxiao is right. Now Wen Yuan is the only general who can lead troops to stand alone, and he is also stationed in Guandu. The other Zilong, Gao Shun, Ziyi, and Gongming are all fighting outside, so Junyi cannot move. And now only Ling Cao's new recruits are stationed in Lujiang, which is indeed a troublesome thing. If we want to guard the Ruxuwu Wharf and Lujiang well, we have to transfer 10,000 Feixiong Army and 5,000 Navy to go there. With these 20,000 troops, it will be easier, but there are still many people who are interested in it in the next step."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao said, "Brother, Hao Zhao is now in Guandu, and he can lead 10,000 troops to garrison. 10,000 soldiers can be drawn back. Guandu is the garrison that should be completed by the end of the year. Once the garrison is built, even if 100,000 enemy troops are not able to attack it. Besides, Guandu is very close to Jizhou and Bingzhou, and our army can send troops to support at any time; and Hao Zhao has made great progress through the past two years of training and can now stand alone. As for the Ruxuwu Wharf, brother, please feel free to let me garrison. I will definitely not let you down."

After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Third brother, you can go to the Ruxuwu Wharf to station, that's the best choice. I also believe that you can defend well and can handle everything that may happen. But I still plan to equip you with two assistants, one is General Ling Cao from Wancheng now. This man is good at martial arts and loyal. He can lead troops to fight on land and command naval forces. He is just lacking in strategy. Third brother, you can use this man well. The other person is that I asked Liu Biao to exchange a soldier from Jingzhou Army for Wei Yan of Cai Mao. Wei Wenchang. Although this man is young now and is only a little soldier, he has very good potential to be tapped. However, this man is arrogant and ordinary people cannot control him. He does not take the world's attention. This is a guy who causes trouble and causes trouble. If this man is well-trained, he should be a general in the future. Third brother must be mentally prepared."

After saying that, Lu Ning thought that Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang were originally a subordinate officer in the Jingzhou army during the ancient Three Kingdoms, and later achieved many military achievements with Liu Bei. After Liu Bei's death, Wei Yan was the most capable army in Zhuge Liang's northern expedition, but he was always suppressed by Zhuge Liang, and his talent was not well displayed. This was also a model for Zhuge Liang to suppress talents. Otherwise, Wei Yan's achievements should have been greatly improved. In the end, Zhuge Liang's words were said by Zhuge Liang to rebel sooner or later. This sentence took Wei Yan's life and finally died in Zhuge Liang's funeral arrangements. It was indeed a pity. After Wei Yan's death, Shu Kingdom basically had no decent generals, and only Zhuge Liang's successor Jiang Wei, who had some ability, was the only one who could win the war. However, the war could not be won by one person, and in the end, Shu Kingdom could not escape the fate of destruction.

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Zhang Liao said, "Brother, what are you talking about, Wei Yan is really capable? After hearing that you exchanged a soldier for Cai Mao, we felt incredible. Ziman quietly told me that it would be a loss to use a soldier for a general. It would be better to ask for more gold!"

After hearing this, Guo Jia laughed and said, "Wenyuan, you have seen your lord suffer many losses. Every time he is calculating others. Others want to calculating him. Is this possible? If such a thing is not cost-effective, then the lord will do it."

After hearing this, Gu Yong said, "Lord, Kuai Liang, the representative sent by Liu Biao to the peace talks, has entered our jurisdiction and will arrive tomorrow. Liu is in a hurry to ask Cai Mao to return to command the troops. He has no trustworthy people and no decent generals. Of course, Cai Mao will redeem him at all costs."

After hearing this, Tian Feng said to Lu Ning: "Master, the key to asking Wei Yan to exchange Cai Mao is that Wei Yan agrees or not? If Wei Yan doesn't want to do so, then we have no good idea. We can't force him to join our army."

After hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Yuan Hao, with his lord's personal charm and influence, coupled with the reputation of the Big Bear Army for so many years, he should be able to deal with Wei Yan. After all, he is only a famous soldier in the Jingzhou army. We will first let him go to the military school to study for three months, and then baptize his brain. I will give him some trouble and let him know that there are countless capable hermits in the world. First, defeat his arrogance and then teach him well. I guess Wen Yuan will be much more worried when he takes him. Besides, with Wen Yuan's reputation and ability, he dare not be arrogant and rude."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao continued, "Brother, how about Wei Yan's bravery?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, third brother, are you brave, should you be at the same level as you, even if you don't have too many weaknesses, as for leading troops to fight, military strategy? You should be better than him. You have made rapid progress in the past few years. But I don't know that if you don't work hard to improve yourself, those younger generations may surpass you. Just look at Hao Zhao's progress and you should be clear in your heart that people trained through military academy have room for improvement. They are still young now. Once they have been baptized by the war and have practical experience, there will be huge changes."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao laughed loudly and said, "Brother, you are right. It seems that if you have time in the future, I have to ask for more food. Yuan Hao and the others can just make more meals. It is also good to learn more from them, otherwise they will be overtaken by this group of young boys."

After hearing this, Lu Ning also laughed loudly and said, "Third brother, don't lose all your characteristics, that's a problem. You have to learn and apply it according to your own situation. It's not enough to just memorize and read books."

After hearing this, Guo Jia laughed and said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, as long as you ask us to rub it a few more times, we will definitely teach you all the knowledge we have. Don't worry."

Kuai Liang, the messenger of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, did come. Lu Ning took his officials out to greet him. As soon as he saw Kuai Liang, Lu Ning first saluted him and said, "Mr. Zirou, we haven't been separated for a long time. Now we can see Mr. Jinyang City. It's really God's patronage."

Kuai Liang also returned the greeting to Lu Ning. After hearing what Lu Ning joked, he felt that God was teasing people. He said helplessly: "General Lu, even I myself would never have thought that I would see the general so soon. It's really a fate."

After Lu Ning introduced his officials to Kuai Liang, he sent Kuai Liang into the government office. After serving tea, he heard Sima Lang say, "Mr. Zirou, you came from all over the world. You didn't think of us to develop here, right? We can't find a talent like Mr. like me. I'm planning to set up two new states, but I'm very short of staff. Mr. has come to solve the big problem."

After hearing this, Kuai Liang thought to himself, aren’t you asking questions knowingly? You still teased me like this, but there is no way. Who told me to be rude first? "Mr. Boda, I am still Lord Liu's messenger. If I can really serve as a servant at Lord Lu one day, then I am extremely honored. But I still have to do the things that Lord Liu in Jingzhou first. After finishing it, I don’t know what General Lu and you guys have to ask?"

After hearing this, Tian Feng said directly: "Mr. Zirou, do you want to redeem General Cai Mao?"

After hearing this, Kuai Liang immediately said, "Yes, Mr. Yuanhao, my Lord Liu deeply apologized to Lord Lu for General Cai and others' rude behavior of sending troops privately; Lord Liu wanted me to redeem Cai Mao and act according to military law and hold him accountable; at the same time, I came here this time and wanted to enhance our Jing and the relationship between the two families."

After saying that, Kuai Liang handed over the gift list. Lu Ning took a look and said, "Be good, there are quite a lot of gifts." Jingzhou is indeed a wealthy place, and it is so generous to take action. If it is in other states, it will probably be difficult to get so many things. Even if it can be taken out, it may not be necessary to spend such a huge amount for one person. It seems that Cai Mao is really a figure for Jingzhou. His sister's status in Liu Biao's family is really high. Lu Ning handed the gift list to Gu Yong and asked them to handle it in detail. Now, Lu Ning doesn't have to deal with such things by himself.

Tian Feng was originally a straightforward person, and he was in charge of these things. He immediately said to Kuai Liang: "Mr. Zirou, Liu Jingsheng wants to promote Jing, and we welcome the relationship between the two families. But in this matter, Cai Mao and others have to lead a large army to attack my lord for a second time for no reason. Is there any intention of Lord Liu? If Cai Mao and others do not get Liu Jingsheng's permission, how dare they use the army privately? The two armies of the water and the land use it. This is a planned plan."
