Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"Crack!" With a sound, Cao Cao skillfully fixed Cao Ang's chin.

"Father, your technique is really good... I didn't feel any pain at all."

Cao Ang's praise only brought a smile on the corner of Lao Cao's mouth, mainly because he has done this kind of thing too much, and he is familiar with it...

Cao Cao raised his hand and patted Cao Ang's shoulder, and said, "Ang'er, this is the end of my father's words, you should think about it alone...

But you have to understand that your pattern and your strength will determine where you can go in the future! "

After saying the last words, Cao Cao sauntered out of the study with his hands behind his back.

After leaving the study room, the warm sunlight of early summer just fell on Cao Cao.

Lao Cao couldn't help but stretched a lot, and muttered to himself: "Ah! It's good to have a helper! I haven't had such leisure for a long time...emmm, I miss my precious daughter... .Look and go!"

in the study,

Cao Ang slowly sat back to his seat, his mind was still circling the words Cao Cao said...

"The world..."

"nationality..."

"Chinese!"

Cao Ang sat in Cao Cao's study for nearly two hours.

It wasn't until the sun went down that Cao Ang gradually realized.

"Compared to understanding people and their hearts, I am not as good as my father... But when it comes to my strength and style, I am not necessarily worse than my father!"

Cao Ang's heart was agitated, but there was no wave on his face.

He reached out from the bottom of the pile of papers in his hand, and pulled out the bottom one that he had pressed down with his own hands before, and calmly spread it out. Among the papers was written:

"The seventh year of Jian'an, June."

"Hussar General Lu Changsheng wrote to the imperial court, requesting that the Prison be split up to form separate institutions, and that the Prison will become a management department in the future."

Cao Ang solemnly wrote a word on the copy, "Yes!"

But after thinking about it, he added another sentence: "Hand over to Lu Yan, the Hussar General, to take full responsibility."

Chapter 4 was seen through by Xun Yu

"You son of a bitch, Cao! Do you want me to deal with such a trivial matter, or should I take full responsibility? Do you want people to live?"

In the mansion of General Hussars, Lu Yan was very happy when he learned that his proposal was adopted... But when someone said that he had to take full responsibility for the split and reorganization of the supervisor, Lu Yan suddenly felt beeping. I have several dogs...

"Longsheng, you are a capable person who works harder..." the man comforted.

But Lu Yan didn't appreciate it at all. He squinted at the visitor and said, "I said Wen Ruo, why don't I leave this matter to you?"

However, Xun Yu raised his palms and refused resolutely: "Don't! I still have a lot of unfinished work in my hands, why don't I entrust you with the rebuilding of Luoyang?"

"Beautiful thinking!" Naturally, Lu Yan would not dare to do such a stupid thing, he just lamented repeatedly: "Oh... I have pity on me running around, thinking about his old Cao, but in the end I am like an old cow. , those who are summoned must die or live..."

Of course Xun Yu wouldn't accept Lu Yan's tricks, he even asked back: "You developed and strengthened the prison by yourself, if you really hand it over to someone else, you can rest assured?"

"Why can't I feel relieved?" Lu Yan stretched out his fingers, breaking them one by one: "You, Gongda, Fengxiao, Zhicai, Zhongde, Wenhe, or Cao Gong himself, no matter who you hand over to, I will take care of you." Put a hundred hearts on it!"

The corner of Xun Yu's mouth twitched, and he decided not to delve into this issue further, otherwise he might be pushed out to take the blame.

As the number one capable minister and chief steward under Lao Cao,

For such a major event as the reform of the supervisory system, he is naturally the first to pass.

However, Lao Cao's approval document had stated that Lu Yan had full power to deal with it, so he, Xun Yu, was also happy to take a leisurely turn.

Xun Yu changed the subject, and said, "Isn't it good to separate the two institutions of steelmaking and forging? I believe that you already have a mature plan in your mind for the remaining institutions."

That's what it says, yes.But doing everything by yourself is not the way to keep in good health!

With a bitter face, Lu Yan said, "I just came back from Youzhou, you should let me have a rest..."

"Really?" Xun Yu said in a teasing tone, "If that's the case, then when I go back, I'll have people dismiss all the two hundred shipwrights that the family has managed to recruit."

Hearing this, Lu Yan was shocked and shouted, "Wait!"

"how?"

"How do you know I'm looking for craftsmen who can build ships?"

"I have to look at the number and types of craftsmen you recruited as supervisors every day... Do you think that you can really cover up the number of shipbuilders that is almost twice as many as other institutions under the guise of splitting the supervisor? ?”

Except for the Central Plains, Cao Cao's current territory is Hebei. If he wants to pacify the world, he must go south to pacify the remaining princes in the south.

There is a lot of water in the south, with ditches and rivers criss-crossing.

If you want to gain a foothold and fight in the south, you need enough navy and warships.This is the same as when fighting on the Hebei Plain and grasslands, it is necessary to have a sufficient number of cavalry.

In order to go north in the past few years, Lu Yan formed the Dragon Rider Battalion, the Wolf Rider Battalion, and the Iron Futu; Cao Cao also formed the Tiger and Leopard Rider Battalion and the Xiaoqi Battalion.

Now that the north has been set, the army can go south at any time.

But if you want to be invincible even when you go south, you will definitely need one or even several elite sailors.

Rather than looking forward to taking down the Jingzhou navy, it is better to build peace of mind by himself, so Lu Yan wanted to create a powerful navy as soon as possible.

Therefore, Xun Yu only needs to sort out the most critical ones from these disturbing information, and then he can know the real thinking behind Lu Yan's splitting up as a prisoner.

"Prepare for a rainy day, Lu Changsheng, I don't know what kind of luck the lord has had to get your favor."

Hearing this, Lu Yan murmured, "Anyway, as long as it's not luck..."

"..."

Now that Xun Yu had thwarted his own purpose, Lu Yan could simply have a showdown. He said, "Actually, you missed one thing."

Xun Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then suddenly said: "The steel factory is also prepared for the navy?!"

"That's right!"

Talking to smart people is effortless!They tend to understand a little bit, and their thinking diverges very quickly, so Lu Yan still likes to play with Dian Wei and Zhang Fei, who are upright and straightforward...

Xun Yu just wanted to say that our navy is weak and we need to take it step by step, but he didn't want Lu Yan to continue:

"I want to create an unprecedented invincible navy that can cross the rivers and seas!"

"The people in Jingzhou and Jiangdong almost grew up in the water...

Compared with conventional water battles, our group of landlubbers or the temporary navy will definitely suffer a lot.

Therefore, only by catching them off guard by surprise, can we give them a fatal blow when they don't react!

As long as we break through the natural danger of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, under our army, whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangdong, they are just two lambs waiting to be slaughtered. "

After listening to Lu Yan's words, Xun Yu couldn't help but start to be astonished and become silent at the end.

In fact, with Xun Yu's strategic vision, how could he fail to see the importance of the navy to the Southern Expedition?Otherwise, his Xun family would not have produced two hundred craftsmen who could build ships in such a short period of time.

But neither the navy nor the warship can be pulled up overnight.It takes several years for the generals, soldiers, and training of the navy alone.

Jiangdong is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Taihu Lake Basin, so the strength of the navy is naturally beyond doubt.

There are even fighting ships, boats, boats, boats, etc., and they are very easy to play with.

Not only that, they now also have a kind of building boat that can carry 3000 people, not counting necessities such as weapons and fodder.Such a building boat is like a water fortress when it travels on the water.

Cao Cao's warships may be more powerful and domineering than those built by Sun Quan, but the soul of a navy still lies in its people.

Although it is difficult and time-consuming to train a qualified navy, it still needs to be done.

Originally, Xun Yu planned to bring it up by himself, but he didn't want to accidentally see through Lu Yan's behind-the-scenes preparations.

Recalling Lu Yan's preparations for major events such as the battle against Lu Bu, the Son of Heaven, and the Battle of Guandu, Xun Yu felt that it was best to leave this matter to Lu Yan.

It sounds long, but it's actually just one thought.

After Lu Yan finished talking about his thoughts, Xun Yu replied, "If that's the case, then I'll wait and see!"

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed!"

Seeing that Lu Yan was confident, Xun Yu stopped asking too many questions, but talked about his own arrangement:

"I will do the work on the surface of the supervisor, and I will ask Zhuge Liang to assist you. I believe that with his ability, these things are just easy to do."

Hearing that Xun Yu would send Zhuge Liang to help him, Lu Yan immediately felt refreshed!

He asked curiously, "When did Kong Ming come back?"

"Come back at the beginning of this year..."

"Isn't there still half a year before the end of the training period? Why did you come back early?" Lu Yan asked with some doubts.

Unexpectedly, Xun Yu sighed and said, "In that palm-sized county, Zhuge Liang did all the work in the government office by himself... I can't let the officials stare blankly..."

"..."

"As expected of you, Zhuge Liang..." Lu Yan shook his head, thinking, "But it's not a good habit to do everything by yourself... just wait for him to come to my side, and I can find a chance to get rid of his problem."

4 Chapter [-] Thinking

After Xun Yu left, Lu Yan was quietly thinking about a series of things including the shipyard.

Under the complicated thoughts, Lu Yan's thinking also seemed a little confused.

"Today's general prison, more than 500 craftsmen with experience in shipbuilding have been recruited; plus the 700 shipbuilders that Xun Yu is about to send, the total number has reached more than [-]."

"You can recruit some more. The number of people should be 2000 first. I think it should be enough now. Then the shipyard can start construction now."

"It's just... where should this shipyard be built?"

"Historically, Cao Cao himself did not have a navy.

At that time, Liu Biao was ill, and the second Liu met with Xinli. Cao Cao took the opportunity to send his troops south to take Jingzhou.

Liu Bei lost, abandoned Xinye and fled to Jiangxia.

The new lord of Jingzhou, Liu Cong, surrendered without a fight, and surrendered Jingzhou and 20 sailors to Cao Cao.

Boss Cao occupied Jingzhou, to be precise, most of the northern part of Jingzhou, and then he brought the Jingzhou navy into Dongting Lake to practice the navy. "Lu Yan was sorting out and writing materials while recalling.

Therefore, Cao Cao himself did not build ships or navy. He got the opportunity to take Jingzhou and annex Jingzhou's navy.

With the 20 navy in Jingzhou, Cao Cao had the idea of ​​fighting Jiangdong Sun Quan.

But later, Lao Cao fell into Zhou Yu's estrangement scheme in a moment of carelessness, and beheaded Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, the commander of the Jingzhou navy; A big fire burned it out.

It is naturally impossible for Lu Yan to watch such a major mistake happen again, so forming a navy of his own is an imperative measure.

There are many reasons for Lao Cao's defeat in Chibi, one of which is also the most important is that arrogant soldiers are bound to lose.

After defeating Yuan Shao and annexing the four states of Hebei, Cao Cao has become the largest prince in the world.

At that time, Cao's group, except for a few advisers who were still sober, most people including Cao Cao believed that

As long as Cao Jun goes south, both Liu Biao and Sun Quan are nothing more than chickens and dogs.As for Liu Bei, who had less than [-] soldiers and would only shut Zhang Zhao, Cao Cao didn't pay attention at all.

Second, Cao Cao didn't have a navy that really belonged to him. When he was fighting with the Jiangdong navy, he was led by the nose by Zhou Yu.

Later, the navy was burned out, and Lao Cao had no hope of winning the battle.

Incidentally, Cao Cao did laugh on the way to escape, but not three times, but once;

And after he laughed, there was indeed an ambush, but it was Liu Bei who frightened him by lighting a fire in the rear. In the end, Cao Cao escaped from Huarong Road, and there was no Guan Yu on Huarong Road.

Finally, there is one more point. The soldiers in Cao Cao's own army are all from the north. After they came to the south, they refused to accept the climate and were even infected with the plague.

Under the influence of multiple factors, Cao Cao also knew that he could not beat the Sun Liu coalition army. He had long thought of retreating, so the coalition army easily broke through the camp.

If you want to pacify Jingzhou and Jiangdong, navy is indispensable.

Many thoughts flashed through Lu Yan's mind, and the thoughts in Lu Yan's heart became more and more firm: "No matter what, we still have to have an elite navy of our own..."

"Let's forget about buildings and boats, they are flashy, you can only look at them."

"And the three-masted warship is an armed ship that has crossed the sea for more than two hundred years and only appeared in the seventeenth century."

The three-masted warship has a huge hull and is extremely fast!It is also equipped with hundreds of various artillery pieces and carries hundreds of thousands of people. It is a well-deserved overlord in the sea.Until the appearance of the Ironclad Ship, it has always existed like a king!

In history, on the surface, Liu Biao and Liu Bei joined forces to fight against Cao Cao, forming a two-on-one situation.However, in essence, Liu Bei was based in Xinye or "more and more heroes in Jingzhou returned to their ancestors", which caused Liu Biao to have some suspicions about Liu Bei, "Yin Yuzhi".

The suspicion between the two Lius created favorable conditions for Cao Cao to send troops. In addition, Liu Biao was seriously ill later, and Cao Cao immediately couldn't wait to go south to attack Jingzhou.
