Since Xu Ding deserved it, he should work for him.

"Okay, when the armies arrive, I will select some elites from them, and then select a group of generals to be the commander in chief. You will be one of them." Xu Ding said.

"I obey."

Lu Su responded.

The strong enemy that appeared in Jiangdong made Xu Ding anxious.

The Huaxia Kingdom was just established, and after fighting with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, its strength declined.The most important thing is that the weapons and equipment are not good enough to deal with enemies who are fully equipped with firearms.

His only hope now is Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's Sharp Blade Army is equipped with a large number of firearms.

Although it cannot be compared with Jiangdong's enemies, it is better than nothing.

In order to increase the odds of winning, Xu Ding went back to Xu Du.

He decreed to expand the weapons workshop and manufacture a large number of firearms.

In addition, a batch of heavy armor equipment capable of resisting bullets was recreated in case of emergency.

"Your Majesty, are the enemies that appeared in Jiangdong really that strong?" Xi Zhicai asked in Fengtian Hall.

"Zhicai, can you not ask such questions in the future. I have answered many times. The enemy who appeared this time is different from usual, and its strength is far stronger than ours."

Xu Ding glanced around, saw no one, and whispered: "To tell you the truth, I'm not sure at all right now. Our 20 army may not be able to match the enemy's [-] army. The only thing I'm counting on now is the weapon workshop The firearms must be manufactured quickly, that is the key for us to resist this group of powerful enemies."

"Yes."

Xi Zhicai responded with a dazed expression.

He was thinking about what Xu Ding said just now.

Twenty Chinese elites are no match for the enemy's [-] troops?Is there such a possibility?Stronger than Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and the Huns, they were all hanged and beaten by Xu Ding one after another.Xi Zhicai couldn't figure it out, who else could fight against him?

Although he didn't quite believe Xu Ding's words, Xi Zhicai still did it with all his heart.And promised to build equipment for [-] troops within three months.

"please."

Xu Ding went back to the harem to meet all the concubines.

After a night's rest, head to Xiangyang.

at this time.

Armies from all over the Central Plains are gathering towards Yangzhou and Jingzhou.

Liu Bei, and his tens of thousands of troops, have been released, and rushed to Yangzhou with Zhuge Liang.Huang Zhong's Central Plains Field Army also went to Yangzhou.

A total of 10 horses were deployed to Hefei, Yangzhou.

After Sun Jian retreated to Jingnan, he was worried that the enemy from Jianye would come after him. He accepted Xu Ding's suggestion, abandoned Jingnan, and took all the troops to Xiangyang to listen.

this day.

Xu Ding received Sun Jian and his men and women.

Everyone gathered in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.

"Meet Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live long, long live, long live." Everyone bowed.

"Flat body."

Xu Ding raised his hand slightly, sat down and said: "General Sun can return to our dynasty and save the people in Jiangdong from being chaotic by war. It is a merit to the community. I will make you General Yangwei, Marquis of Wucheng, and I will offer you two thousand stones. Hope you Be loyal to our dynasty and make new achievements."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Sun Jian bowed.

"General Sun doesn't need to be too polite." Xu Ding looked at the other generals from Jiangdong: "Everyone who came with General Sun has made contributions. After returning to Xuchang, I will reward them one by one."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Xu Ding's eyes gradually became heavy: "The emergence of a powerful enemy in Jiangdong this time is something we never thought of. This is a catastrophe. Even if we do our best, we may not be able to stop it. But the more this is the case, the more we cannot give up. No matter how great the difficulties are, they will not be able to withstand our unremitting efforts and persistence."

Guo Jia came out and said: "Your Majesty is right. We Huaxia will fight to the end and will never back down!"

"Never back down!"

"Never flinch."

The generals followed suit.

Xu Ding pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "I said this not to tell you to die. It is to build up the confidence and determination to win. Maybe this war will be fought for a long time and it will be very difficult, but I hope everyone here will The general can stick to my side, don't think about wealth and honor, and seek refuge with the new enemy. If you are caught by me, you will not be lightly forgiven!"

When he said this, Xu Ding especially glanced at Jiang Donglai's general.

These people have just come here.

I also saw the strength of the enemy in Jianye.

Once the enemy forces overwhelm the border, will they rebel?

This will affect other generals and affect the morale of the army.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we are all willing to fight to the death!" Veteran Huang Gai stood up.

"We are all willing to fight to the death." Everyone said.

"Okay! I trust you!" Xu Ding asked someone to fetch a map: "Now Gan Ning's navy has arrived in Liyang, less than a hundred miles away from Hefei, and about 240 miles away from Jianye."

Chapter 832 Take Offense as Defense

"Our navy has more than 500 people. Recently, we have newly equipped small trebuchets, which can put explosives in a spoon and throw them out. The range is about [-] meters. Therefore, our combat effectiveness is still very strong."

"Gan Ning has already taken control of the Yangtze River, and deployed formations along the lines of Guangling Port, Sanjiangkou, and Liyang to prevent the enemy from crossing to the west. Huang Zhong, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang are also stationed in Hefei, with a force of up to [-]. I don't have to worry about Yangzhou for now. war."

Promise to the generals to analyze it again.

Mainly analyze the terrain of Jingyang and Yangzhou, as well as the deployment of troops on the front line.

Finally, he said: "The situation is like this. I predict that the enemy will launch an offensive soon, and it is impossible to predict where they will attack. But it must be Yangzhou, or Jingzhou. Do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

"Forget it, it's useless to ask." Xu Ding waved his hand and said, "I've thought it over and prepared to use offense as defense. We want to form an army and go to Jiangdong to entangle with the enemy in Jiangdong. Not only can it avoid the fall of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, but it can also block the enemy so that they can move within a limited range."

Guo Jiadao: "Your Majesty has repeatedly emphasized that the enemy that appeared this time is very powerful. Isn't it very dangerous for our troops to fight in Jiangdong?"
