Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Originally, the Jiangdong Army had two aggressive directions, and Zhou Yu planned for the Jiangdong Army to go northward. In the dark, Zhou Yu originally planned to order his subordinate navy to harass the Jiangxia Huangzu tribe, in a posture that he would attack Jingzhou and revenge.

As a result, in this context, the enemy army was unprepared to march into Huainan. However, as Sun Ce was named Yangzhou governor, Cao Cao must take strict precautions against Jiangdong Army, and it was even more difficult to obtain Huainan.

"It's okay!" Sun Ce said: "The land of Huainan has rivers and networks, and our army is in the rivers, lakes and seas. But if Cao Jun is not used to water warfare, our army has the advantage.

"It's not that simple." The silent Lu Su suddenly said: "Cao Cao is strong, relying on Qingxu two states behind the land of Huainan, grain, grass and soldiers can be sent to the front line continuously, dare to ask the lord to be confident and defeat Cao Cao in a battle. Take Jiujiang?"

"Even if Jiujiang is captured, can our army go northward to Xuzhou or westward to Yuzhou?"

Lu Su hit the nail on the head: "This is Liu Ye's strategy of blockade. If we lock our army firmly in Yangzhou, he can free his hands..."

Sun Ce frowned: "In that case, did our army have a plan?"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "Yes, this is a positive attempt. Our army must fight **** battle with Cao Jun. It is a pity that the emperor is in Liu Ye's hands. I can only bow my head to my ears. It is a pity."

Liu Ye had a huge political advantage in order not to be subject to the emperor's son, and Zhou Yu and other Tianzong wizards felt helpless for a while.

On the advice of Guo Jia and others, Liu Ye gave up the idea of ​​prospering troops to reach Shouchun, and instead let Cao Cao and Sun Ce attack each other by splitting them.

Guo Jiajin remonstrated: "General, the attack on Huainan is no better than in the past. Our army has many Xiliang cavalry on the land. Naturally, it is a rare enemy on the land. However, the rivers and nets of Huainan are vertical and horizontal, and our army will inevitably suffer setbacks when entering it rashly. Skilled craftsmen supervise the building of warships, and at the same time train our soldiers in water warfare."

Liu Ye nodded solemnly: "What Feng Xiao said is very reasonable. A certain association will order Gongda to allocate a large amount of money to you. Then you will be responsible for recruiting boatsmiths in Yangzhou, Jingzhou, etc., especially experienced old ships. Craftsman, money is nothing."

Guo Jia handed over: "Please rest assured, the master must build a powerful fleet."

"Bong Xiao wait a minute."

Guo Jia was taken aback and looked at Liu Ye: "What's the matter with Ziyang?"

"General, please allow me to argue." Liu Ye said sternly: "Fengxiao recruits boatsmiths, don't order them to build large ships such as slabs and battleships, but please supervise the construction of small and medium-sized ships such as boats and boats."

"Oh?" Liu Ye was also a northerner in his previous life and was not familiar with water warfare, so he showed a curious expression.

"Building ships and battleships are all large ships, and one ship can carry hundreds of navy men. Non-experienced old craftsmen cannot build them, but those who are not proficient in water warfare cannot transfer them."

"Our lieutenant generals have little knowledge of water warfare." Liu Ye shook his head and said, "So even if you get a battleship and a ship, it is difficult to control. It is better to supervise the boats and walk the boats, otherwise it is just a lot of water. It’s just a target."

The swan is a medium-sized warship with a sharp horn at its front end. It travels very fast in the water. Once it hits an enemy warship, it can immediately pierce a hole; while the walking squad is a small warship and generally cooperates with fighting. Ships and building ships are used as frigates for large battleships.

Although the power of the boat and the boat can't be compared with that of the warship and the boat, but the level of mastery is much easier than that of the boat, so Liu Ye suggested supervising the boat.

"That's it." Guo Jia said embarrassedly.

"Haha, it's okay, will a wise man have a misfortune." Liu Ye waved his hand and re-ordered: "In this case, you can supervise the construction of the boats and the boats, and the ship and the battleship will be ignored for the time being, and we will wait until the future. While drinking the Yangtze River, it is not too late to supervise production."

"promise!"

After Guo Jia took the order, Liu Ye said again: "There is one more thing for a certain person, and the general needs to be warned."

"Ziyang was born in Yangzhou and is familiar with southern affairs. Please speak freely." Liu Ye stretched out his hand. Although Liu Ye’s army is of different origins, they are basically northerners. The southerners are pitifully few. Not to mention those from Jiangnan, Jingyang and Yangzhou. There are not even many from Jiangbei. Liu Ye is considered a rare species. .

"If you want a soldier to be proficient in water warfare, one needs to find a big Hu, and the other needs to find a general who is proficient in water warfare." Liu Ye shook his head and said, "Although there are many good generals in our army, but this person who is proficient in water warfare seems to... "

"Ok……"

Cao Cao's army originally wanted to flatten the southeast in one fell swoop. One of the most important reasons for this failure was to behead Cai Tao and Zhang Yun. Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were originally navy generals under Liu Biao's command. They had been in Jingzhou for a long time and were proficient in water warfare. Zhou Yu took it as a confidant, so he used a strategy to kill Cai Hao and Zhang Yun.

Only after Cao Cao killed the two of them did he wake up, regretting not at the beginning, because although he had many generals, none of them were proficient in water warfare. In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to pull out the general from the short one, and ordered Yu Jin and Mao Jie to be the governors to train the navy.

"Wen is familiar with military books, and has a little experience of navy, or else the navy will be supervised by the text?" Liu Ye asked.

"General Wen Ze is a giant of Taishan, and General Wen Ze is training a navy. Isn't he suspected of asking the blind?" Jia Xu shook his head.

Liu Ye looked intently at Liu Ye: "Zi Yang has been in Huainan for a long time, and he has made many friends. You should be a general who knows water warfare?"

"You know some people, but most of them are gangsters. The rough and tyrants are not enough to take on the big responsibility. It is more than enough to serve as a junior general in the army."

"Well, even if Ziyang writes to ask them to come, those who are able will be regarded as the chiefs of the village, and a hundred generals." Liu Ye said: "Besides, Wen He, in a certain tone, recruited people who are proficient in water warfare. The general, if he came, he would definitely not hesitate to reward him!"

"No!" Jia Xu agreed.

At this time, Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, and most of the Yangzhou heroes were attached. However, there must be many people who are waiting and not eager to take refuge in Sun Ce. If Xu Yi is a high-ranking official and generous, he must be able to recruit part of it, as long as he exercises more. It is enough to form a certain combat strength, but it does not necessarily have to beat the large-scale Jingzhou Navy and Jiangdong Navy.

On the same day, Liu Ye issued successive orders. After receiving the documents, Xun You immediately dispatched thousands of civilian husbands to deliver money and grain to Yuzhou to supply Guo Jia to recruit boatsmiths. And Liu Ye sent a letter to his old friends in Huainan, inviting them to come to Yuzhou to work.

At the same time, Liu Ye ordered Xu Huang who remained in Jiujiang to withdraw his troops back to Yuzhou.
