Han Dao world

Instead of this, it is better to transfer the Louchuan battalion to Jingzhou to contain the Yizhou Navy.

The reason why the Lou Chuanying was used instead of the Jiangdong Navy led by Sun Ce was because Liaodong was still undecided at that time, and the Taiwei Mansion did not know when it would end.Now that Liaodong has been set, Sun Ce's troops will withdraw to Qingzhou to rest, and of course they can be transferred to Jingzhou to join the war.

As for the opinions of Zhang Ji and Ding Chong, they are not that serious.

Even if the Louchuan battalion was transferred to Jingzhou, it would still be under the command of Hussar General Zhang Ji, and there was no possibility of fighting for merit.

Zhang Ji's subordinates are mainly Xiliang infantry, and they are not good at water warfare. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye knows.Although the Jingzhou navy was requisitioned, the people of Jingzhou refused to accept the dispatch and did not cooperate with each other tacitly. The Taiwei Mansion has long heard of it.

The reason why they didn't report for duty was because the war hadn't started yet, and the two sides just competed in secret, without tearing each other apart.Once a war starts, this discord will inevitably affect the battle.

Lou Gui and Huang Zhong are both from Nanyang, and they have common interests with both parties, and may play a role in mediation.

After Yang Fu finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Ce intentionally or unintentionally, and returned to his seat.

Sun Ce grimaced and said nothing.

Yang Fu's last sentence was tantamount to denying him the possibility of going to Jingzhou to fight.

Zhang Ji, Ding Chong and the Jingzhou navy seem to be at odds with each other, but he has an enmity with the Jingzhou navy.

The general who commanded the Jingzhou navy was Huang Zu, the chief culprit who ambushed Sun Jian in Xianshan.The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable.Even if he knows the basics again, he cannot guarantee peaceful coexistence with Huang Zu, and he has to fight side by side.

Even if he was willing, Huang Zu would not believe it.

Therefore, Tai Wei Jia Xu was deliberate in transferring the building boat camp to Jingzhou instead of letting him go to Jingzhou.

Sikong Zhou Zhong also knew this, so instead of recommending him to Jingzhou, it is better to recommend Zhou Yu to Jingzhou.

All in all, this battle has nothing to do with him.

After listening to Yang Fu's speech, Liu Xie looked at the others, signaling that they could speak freely without any worries.

It was the first time for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to participate in such a military meeting. They were a bit cautious and involved themselves, so it was not convenient to talk.

Discussing with each other in the martial arts hall, there is no thought of expressing opinions for the time being.

Pang Tong stood up, coughed, and said that Hussar General Zhang Ji, Chief Shi Dingchong and the generals from Jingzhou were at odds, he had heard a little bit about it, so he could explain it.

First of all, there is indeed a conflict between them, but it is not that serious, and it should not affect the combat.

Secondly, the origin of the conflict is not personal grievances, but the differences between the two sides on the pros and cons of water warfare.

Zhang Ji and Ding Chong hoped that the Jingzhou Navy could go upstream, reach Wu County and Yufu, and press the battle line to the gate of Yizhou.But they ignored a problem, even if the Jingzhou Navy reached the city of Yufu, if they could not conquer Yufu, it would still be useless.

The current of the Three Gorges is so fast that it is easy to go down the river, but difficult to go up the river.Once there is a stalemate, the subsequent transportation of grain and grass will become an unbearable burden.

However, Yufu is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the current strength of the Jingzhou navy, it is almost impossible to conquer Yufu. On the contrary, it may be attacked by the Yizhou navy along the water, leading to a big defeat.

Zhang Ji and Ding Chong had no experience in water warfare, so they oversimplified the matter, thinking that Huang Zu and others despised them and refused to contribute, thus delaying the opportunity for combat.

After Pang Tong finished speaking, Lu Yi asked, "In your opinion, how should the Jingzhou navy fight?"

Pang Tong said: "With the current strength of the Jingzhou Navy, there is little chance of taking the initiative to attack, but it will be no problem to contain the Yizhou Navy and create opportunities for the Northern Army. The Taiwei Mansion suggested that the boat battalion be transferred to Jingzhou. For this purpose, it does not necessarily mean that the designated Louchuan Battalion can break through the blocking of the Yizhou Navy and enter the hinterland of Yizhou."

He paused, then laughed lightly: "It depends on whether the Hussar General is willing to be a suspicious soldier."

Everyone was silent, with different expressions.

Liu Xie also understood the whole story.

In the final analysis, it was Zhang Ji and Ding Chong who wanted to make contributions, but no one in the court was willing to speak for them.Jia Xu was planning to directly suppress Zhang Ji. Although Yang Fu wanted to defend Xiliang people, he was not interested in helping Zhang Ji win opportunities.As for the Jingzhou people, it is even more impossible to speak for Zhang Ji.

Pang Tong's sentence seemed to be an understatement, but in fact, it already accused Zhang Ji of only caring about his own selfishness and disregarding the lives of Jingzhou soldiers.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials.Zhang Ji was isolated and helpless, so he naturally became the target of public criticism.

To be honest, even he himself is not interested in speaking for Zhang Ji.

During the Huayin War, Zhang Ji performed the worst.If it wasn't for Duan Yan's restraint, he would probably support Li Jue and stab him in the back.

Letting Zhang Ji continue to be the Hussar General is already taking the overall situation into consideration.Let him make meritorious deeds again, is he going to be promoted to a general?

Does he fit too?

Despite this, Liu Xie said as calmly as possible: "General Hussars is also a veteran who has experienced many battles. Even if he is not familiar with water warfare, he will not be a person who fights in waves."

He turned to Sun Ce. "Bo Fu, if you lead your troops into battle, how sure are you of winning?"

Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and quickly stood up.

"I... have never been to the Three Gorges, so I dare not speak nonsense. But Your Majesty has an edict, and I will take the lead and speak out with all my might. I dare not say the outcome, but it will definitely be three points better than the Jingzhou Navy."

Chapter 1006 Looking Ahead

Liu Xie turned to Pang Tong. "If the Jiangdong Navy is transferred to join the war, can Jingzhou's money and food support it?"

Pang Tong put away his smile and said seriously: "Twenty to thirty thousand people is not a problem. If there is a shortage, just withdraw the cavalry from Xiliang to Nanyang. Until Yufu is conquered and they enter the hinterland of Yizhou, the cavalry is useless."

Liu Xie ignored Pang Tong's insinuations and instructed the lecture hall to discuss the pros and cons of Jiangdong Navy's participation in the war.

This is tantamount to rejecting the proposal to transfer Lou Chuanying to Jingzhou.

It is easy for Lou Gui and Huang Zhong to get along with both sides, but the Lou Chuanying has no warships yet, and when they arrive in Jingzhou, they will still be restrained by the Jingzhou Navy, so it is better to directly transfer Sun Ce to join the battle.

As for the conflict between Sun Ce and Huang Zu, it was a test for Zhang Ji.

If Zhang Ji can't control his subordinates, he will be a hussar general, don't dream of being a great general anymore.

Yu Fan also expressed his support for Sun Ce's participation in the war.

There are two reasons: First, Sun Ce's troops are sufficient and their morale is strong.There are more than 2 people in the unit, and they have been fighting since they met Yuan Xi, but they have not experienced real fierce battles, just like training soldiers.

The second is that Sun Ce's department can not only fight in water, but also attack fortifications, which is beyond the reach of the Jingzhou navy.

Before the words fell, Pang Tong's expression turned a little ugly, he mumbled his lips, and didn't say a word.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Jingzhou navy is indeed very good, far inferior to the Jiangdong navy led by Sun Ce.Huang Zu had fought against Sun Ce before, and was beaten to death.

Zhang Ji was not good at attacking. Of course, there were factors that Yu Fucheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Huang Zu's inability to attack was also one of the reasons.With Sun Ce in place, this road is not only restrained, it is likely to form a breakthrough.

Only in this way, the Jingzhou Navy will be very embarrassed.As a native of Jingzhou, Pang Tong felt a little uncomfortable.

In front of the emperor, he couldn't say anything, so he could only patiently introduce the recent situation in Jingzhou—especially Nanjun.

After Liu Biao was transferred from Jingzhou, Nanjun began to implement Dutian, which has achieved initial results this year, and it is not a big problem for the supply army to attack Yizhou.

Liu Xie was very satisfied, and asked Pang Tong to go to Situ Mansion to adjust the results of the counties in Jingzhou to confirm that the supply of money and food was sufficient, and there was no need for large-scale transfers from other states and counties.

Liu Biao entered the court in the winter of the previous year, and then Nanjun and Jiangxia began to implement Dutian. Last year and this year, with some accumulation, it should not be a big problem to support tens of thousands of troops to attack.

After careful calculation, although Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou in the past few years, although sporadic wars have not stopped, there has been no major war, and there are still some savings.

After learning about the general situation in Jingzhou, Liu Xie turned to ask Sun Ce.

"If you have any other requests, you might as well bring them up together."

Sun Ce was very grateful, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't have any request, I can only fight to the death to repay Your Majesty."

"Don't fight to the death." Liu Xie waved his hand, raised his hand again, and pointed to his temple. "You need to use your brains more to win at the lowest cost. Now that you are still in the country, you can make up for losses as soon as possible. How can you make up for it when you go to sea in the future?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty taught you the right thing." Sun Ce nodded again and again, and then said: "If Your Majesty can let Yu Jijiu accompany you, I will be more confident."

Liu Xie smiled, but did not speak.

Sun Ce was a little embarrassed.

Zhou Yu blinked, moved behind Sun Ce, and said something softly.Sun Ce was slightly taken aback, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yu twice.Zhou Yu lowered his eyelids and nodded calmly.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth, and then said: "Your presumptuousness, the lecture hall is the place where the emperor trains generals, how can you go out with me. How dare you ask your majesty to appoint a military adviser to teach your ministers military affairs, just like the story of Liu Zhengdong."

Liu Xie smiled slightly. "Do you have a candidate?"

"Yes." Sun Ce said, "Scattered riders often serve Pang Shiyuan."

Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. "When Pang Shiyuan comes back, ask him for his opinion." He then said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, you should follow along. Although the geography of Mobei is different from that of Yizhou, in the future when we go west and meet Rome, the water will be War is inevitable. Take this opportunity, let's discuss tactics together."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.

Liu Xie finally turned to Yu Fan. "Jijiu, you also take a few people along for a trip, and join the Hussar General's army. The northerners ride horses, and the southerners ride boats. This time, we must advance by land and water, so that Yizhou will be safe as soon as possible, and we will make some preparations for entering Jiaozhou in the future. "

Yu Fan bowed to accept the order.

The students in the lecture hall also looked at each other excitedly.

This is an opportunity picked up.

After talking about Yizhou, Liu Xie talked about Liaodong again.

Liaodong actually has nothing to say.Xun You and Liu Bei are resting there, waiting to set off again next spring.Although Gongsun Du was awarded the title, he still had a daughter who married the King of Goguryeo. It is said that he was ready to take revenge against Gongsun Du.

As for whether it is true or not, Liu Xie does not intend to find out.

Anyway, Goguryeo must be destroyed.

After all this was said, Liu Xie mentioned one more thing.

As the armies from all walks of life gradually started to conquer the barbarians, the Confucian scholars in charge of enlightenment had to keep up with the pace.Wherever the army went, the Confucian scholars should follow. Just like providing teachers for the soldiers in the army, they should also be considerate for the barbarians so that they can bask in the glory of Chinese civilization.

Force can only be conquered for a while, and culture can last forever, truly turning the land beyond culture into a king's land.

This pace can be slower, but it must be there.

After almost finishing speaking, Pang Tong also came back.

As confirmed by the Situ Mansion, the surplus money and food in the four counties of Nanjun, Jiangxia, Changsha, and Wuling are enough to meet the army's campaign, and there is no need for the imperial court to transfer them from other states.If the battle goes well, there will be savings for the future southern expedition to Jiaozhou.

Liu Xie was very satisfied, and immediately asked Jiangwutang to cooperate with the Taiwei to draw up a battle plan.

Knowing that he was also on the expedition, Pang Tong was very surprised. The resentment in his heart dissipated and turned into high spirits.

As early as when Fazheng was released to assist Liu Bei in his expedition, he had been waiting for his chance to go on an expedition, but he did not expect that it would take two years to wait.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

In addition to asking Yu Fan to bring some students from the martial arts lecture hall to participate in the battle, Liu Xie also asked Yu Fan to arrange more craftsmen who are proficient in mechanics to take over the Yuzhang ship's officer and speed up the transformation process of seagoing ships.

The progress of the transformation of sea-going ships is too slow, which has already affected Sun Ce's expedition.After conquering Liaodong, the communication with Liu Bei's Eastern Expeditionary Army will also require a large number of sea ships, which cannot be delayed any longer.

In order to be faster, Liu Xie took the opportunity of handing over the materials of the Roman Navy to the lecture hall, and included some of his own knowledge about sea ships.

He had a feeling that contact with Rome would come sooner than he expected.

This may be the only civilization in this era that is qualified to compete with the great Han. Whether it can win the battle is related to the morale of the people, and whether the Chinese civilization can cross the Congling Mountains and move towards a broader world.

If possible, he wanted to capture Rome before the barbarians in the north invaded on a large scale, instead of waiting for the barbarians to destroy Rome and turn the city of Rome into ruins.

This can be regarded as his little respect for Roman civilization.

Chapter 1007

Zhou Zhong stroked his beard with one hand, held the teacup in the other, took a shallow sip of tea, and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Yu sat opposite with a calm face.

After relaying the emperor's arrangement to Zhou Zhong, Zhou Zhong remained silent, as if he was a little surprised, but also as expected.

After a while, Zhou Zhong put down his teacup and folded his hands in front of his stomach.

"Gongjin, the mind of the emperor is very human. This is your opportunity, and it is also the opportunity of the Lujiang Zhou family. Don't let it go. Gongqing is more than enough."

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.

He also felt that the emperor had great ambitions, and even Mobei was not the end point, and Rome, thousands of miles away, was his most concerned goal.If this is the case, it is not a special case for Liu Bei and Sun Ce to establish a country overseas, and other people also have the opportunity.

Jianguo is a fatal temptation for any family.

So what about the princes of the past, how can there be a hereditary title that is real.What's more, this kind of feudal state is not an empty title that cannot govern the people, but a feudal state that can be completely controlled, just like the Spring and Autumn Fangguo.

"Uncle, when it comes to the prosperity of household registration in the world, Yanyu, Qingxu, and Jizhou in Hebei are the most popular. It is most beneficial to open up overseas. If the great cause of the emperor comes true, the residence registration will have a place to go, and there will be no more worries about yellow scarves. "

Zhou Zhong glanced at Zhou Yu, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Gongjin, since I intend to pass on the position of Patriarch to you, I will naturally make your choice. I didn't object to Dutian back then, and I won't now."

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle, don't talk about the matter of the head of the family. Overseas expeditions are not achieved in a day. Uncle Fu Chunqiu should preside over the overall situation, so that we and the younger generation will have no worries."

Zhou Zhong smiled.

With Zhou Yu's words, he and Zhou Yu had opened up their conversation and reached an agreement.

"Since you say that, I'll ask you something."

"Ask your uncle to teach you."

"You are the same age as Sun Ce. Sun Ce already has three daughters and one son, but you haven't married a wife yet. I'm afraid it's not suitable?"
