Chapter 787

Liu Xiu stared at Lu Xun and said in a deep voice, "about your arrangement, I'm going to set up another army alone."

When Lu Xun heard this, he was even more happy.

As a former general of Wu state, Lu Xun had enough insight.

Lu Xun was clear about the division of Chu.

Up to now, the state of Chu has only formed six armies.

Today, the state of Chu, including Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yangzhou and other places, can be said to occupy half of the country. There are only six armies in such a large area, which is not many.

Now, another army was formed, and Lu Xun led the army, and immediately entered the core of Liu Xiu.

Lu Xun said, "I'm at your disposal."

Liu Xiu nodded slightly when he heard Lu Xun's words.

Lu Xun is a smart person. He knows how to advance and retreat and how to gain and lose.

Liu Xiu said, "the army you command is not the seventh army. Before the establishment of the six armies, they were stationed in various places and were all responsible for the stability of various places. "

"The army you are about to command has different responsibilities."

"The army you are about to form is called the Navy."

In his eyes, Liu Xiu had a strong wild look.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the shipbuilding industry of Wu state was the most developed, and large ships were able to sail on the sea one after another.

It's just that it's not really a long voyage.

The purpose of Liu Xiu's formation of the navy is to let the army go from the river to the sea and prepare for the future.

Hearing the word "Navy", Lu Xun was stunned and immediately said, "king, what's the situation of the Navy? How can I start a war when I command the Navy? "

Lu Xun was confused about the word "Navy".

Liu Xiu said: "the Navy and the navy are essentially the same. They are all on board."

"The difference is that one is above the river and the other is above the sea."

"The future of the navy is to cross the sea."

"Far away, I will not talk about it. Let's talk about the Navy's recent planning."

"Take the war between Chu and Wei as an example."

Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled with light, and said: "Qingzhou in the state of Wei has a shore. If we can reach it by sea, we can easily seize the stronghold in Qingzhou."

"Without the Navy, we would have to cross Xuzhou and then enter Qingzhou."

"It's not easy to conquer Xuzhou."

"It's even harder to capture Qingzhou."

"But if we had a navy, if our big ships could sail on the sea, it would be easier to attack Qingzhou."

Liu Xiu continued: "further away, the bitter and cold land of Liaodong."

"Cao Cao is very powerful. He has been unable to capture Liaodong since he captured Youzhou."

"Because from Youzhou to Liaodong, one is the weather, the other is the location."

"It is very difficult to conquer Liaodong."

"If we have a navy, we can start directly from the Yangtze River and then sail north to Liaodong. In this way, we can choose the most suitable weather and attack Liaodong directly, which will save a lot of trouble. "

Liu Xiu sighed: "just for now, it's quite difficult."

A sailing ship must stand up to turbulence.

At present, there is obviously no such big ship.

Liu Xiu set up the navy in order to let Lu Xun start from this aspect, enhance the ability of water combat and navigation.

After hearing this, Lu Xun's heart was boiling.

Lu Xun's blood is boiling, not how exciting sailing on the sea.

What he is passionate about is that once he sets up a navy, if he can reach Qingzhou directly from the sea, he will make great contributions to Liu Xiu's unification of the whole country. This is the most exciting.

As for the distant, Lu Xun did not consider.

Lu Xun, as a native of Jiangnan and a former general of Wu, was familiar with the warships of Wu.

Lu Xun said: "Your Majesty, the current ships can't sail on the sea. I'm afraid it's not a day's work to build a ship. It also requires a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve something. "

Liu Xiu said, "if you want people, I will give them to you."

"If you want money, I will give it to you."

"If you want time, I will give you time."

"In a word, the king wants the final result. He wants to see Chu's ships sailing on the vast sea."

There was a look of expectation in Liu Xiu's eyes.

Lu Xun said: "I will obey you. I will live up to your great expectations. I will do my best."

Liu Xiu picked up an imperial edict and seal ribbon from the desk and said in a deep voice, "this is the letter of appointment for you. From today on, you are the Hussar General of the state of Chu. You are the commander of the Sixth Army and lead the Navy alone. There is no military division in the Navy for the time being. The number of Navy personnel is tentatively 30000, and the garrison is in Taihu Lake. "

"Here it is

Lu Xun was quite excited when he took the imperial edict.Liu Xiu said, "Bo Yan, about the northern expedition against Cao Cao, I will wait for a while. You have to set up a Navy as soon as possible. I hope the Navy under your command will come in handy when you attack Cao Cao. "

Lu Xun said, "don't worry, your majesty. I will take part in the war."

The battle against Cao Cao is the most important one.

Whether he can have a place in the state of Chu in the future depends on his contribution to the battle against Cao Cao.

Therefore, Lu Xun can not be absent.

Liu Xiu and Lu Xun said something else, and Lu Xun respectfully stepped down.

As for Tai Shici and others, Liu Xiu didn't offer a reward for the time being. He wanted to offer a reward only after his teacher returned to Xiangyang.

Now that taishici has arrived, all the troops are stationed in Wuxian.

Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others are here. It can be said that today's Wu county is really solid. Even though Cao Cao himself led the troops, Liu Xiu was not afraid.

Liu Xiu was in charge of Wu County, leaving Zhang Zhaohe and Lu Ji to handle the affairs of Wu County.

Under the joint arrangement of the two people, everything goes very fast.

Time is in a hurry.

As soon as the new year is over, spring comes.

This year is 215 A.D.

Liu Xiu spent another year in Wu County, but in these months, no one in Yangzhou dared to act rashly.

The adjustment of officials went on in an orderly way.

Batch after batch of officials were adjusted, and a large number of Chu officials entered Yangzhou.

Gradually, they were replaced by the county magistrate of Chu.

Only in this way can Yangzhou exchange blood and completely label itself as Liu Xiu.

On this day, a royal guard quickly came to Deng Zhan and reported a piece of news. When Deng Zhan got the news, he went directly to the Chu palace in Wu County.

The so-called Chu palace is actually the Wu palace where Sun Quan once lived.

When the state of Wu was destroyed, the king's palace of Wu naturally became the king's palace of Chu.

Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu's side and said, "king, there's news from Xiangyang. Cao Cao has sent his envoy Yang Xiu to ask Xun you and Zhang Liao again."

Liu Xiumei head a pick, way: "this passed a few months, Cao Cao see no action, finally can't restrain."

"Mr. Kuai and Mr. Yi are urging you to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible," Deng said

Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "now that Lu Ji is in Yangzhou, everything is in order. In addition, Lu Xun's navy is also here. Yangzhou is safe enough. It's almost time to go back. He summoned Fazheng, Zhang Zhao, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Lu Xun, Lu Ji and Gu Yong to discuss the matter. "

"Here it is

Deng Zhan was ordered to make arrangements immediately.
