Chapter 508

Originally, the Jiangdong army had two enterprising directions, and Zhou Yu planned to march northward for the Jiangdong army. In the dark, Zhou Yu had planned to order the water division under his command to harass the huangzu tribe of Jiangxia, making a trend that he would launch troops to attack Jingzhou and avenge the enemy.

In this way, under this background, the enemy forces were unprepared. However, with sun CE appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, Cao Cao was sure to take strict precautions against the Jiangdong army, which made it even more difficult to obtain Huainan.

"No harm!" Sun CE confidently said: "Huainan has a network of rivers and rivers. Our army is in the middle of rivers, lakes and seas. Cao's army is not good at water warfare, so our army has the advantage."

"It's not that simple." The silent Lu Su suddenly said: "Cao Cao is powerful. The land of Huainan relies on Qingxu two prefectures. Grain and soldiers can be sent to the front line continuously. Dare you ask if the Lord is confident that Cao Cao will be defeated and Jiujiang will be captured in the first battle?"

"Even if we capture Jiujiang, can our army march north to Xuzhou or westward to Yuzhou?"

Lu Su hit the nail on the head and said, "this is Liu Ye's policy of blockade. If we lock our army in Yangzhou, he will be able to spare his hands..."

SUN CE frowned: "so, our army is in a trap?"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "yes, this is a conspiracy. Our army must fight with Cao's army in blood. Unfortunately, the emperor is in Liu Ye's hands. We can only be obedient. It's a pity."

Liu Ye worshiped the emperor to order him not to serve, and he had a huge political advantage. Zhou Yu, such as a genius, felt helpless for a moment.

Liu Ye, on the other hand, gave up the idea of setting up a military force to force Shouchun, and instead used the strategy of differentiation to let Cao Cao and sun CE attack each other.

Guo Jia admonished: "general, the strategy of Huainan is no better than before. Our army has more Xiliang iron cavalry, so it is hard to meet enemies on the land. However, the river network in Huainan is crisscross, and our army will inevitably be frustrated if we enter into it rashly. We should try our best to recruit skilled craftsmen to supervise the construction of warships and train our officers and men in water warfare at the same time."

Liu Ye nodded solemnly: "fengxiao's words are very reasonable. You will order Gongda to allocate a large amount of funds to you. At that time, you will be responsible for recruiting boatman with heavy money in Yangzhou and Jingzhou, especially the experienced old shipbuilders. Money is nothing."

Guo Jia arched his hand: "please rest assured that the Lord will build a strong fleet for the Lord."

"Be filial and wait."

Guo Jia was stunned and looked at Liu Ye: "what's the matter with Ziyang?"

"General, please allow me to debate." Liu Ye solemnly said: "in order to be filial piety, we need to recruit shipbuilders. Instead of ordering them to build large ships such as building ships and fighting ships, we should ask them to supervise the construction of small and medium-sized vessels such as Geke and Pang."

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

"The building ship and the fighting ship are all large ships, which can carry hundreds of sailors in one boat, which can not be built by experienced old shipbuilders, but cannot be allocated by those who are not proficient in water warfare."

"The officers and men in our army know only a little about water warfare." Liu Ye shook his head and said: "therefore, even if you get a fighting ship or a building ship, it's difficult to control it. It's better to supervise the building of a boat and a boat, or it's just a target in the water."

Pang is a medium-sized warship with a sharp corner at the front end. It travels very fast in the water. Once it collides with the enemy's warship, it can poke a hole immediately. However, the walking boat belongs to a small warship, which is usually used as a frigate of a large warship with a fighting ship and a building ship.

Although the power of the two boats can not be compared with those of the bucket ship and the building ship, the operation is much easier. Therefore, Liu Ye suggested to supervise the construction of the boat.

"I see." Guo Jia was a little embarrassed.

"Ha ha, it doesn't matter. There must be a mistake for a wise man to worry." Liu Ye waved his hand and ordered again: "in this case, you should be in charge of the building of the boat and the boat. The boat and the boat will not be built for the time being. It will not be too late to supervise the building when our army is drinking the water."

"No!"

After Guo Jia took the order, Liu Ye said, "there is one more thing to warn the general."

"Ziyang was born in Yangzhou and is familiar with southern affairs. Please speak freely." Liu Ye reached out. Today, although Liu Ye's army is of different origins, they are basically from the north. The number of Southerners is pitiful. Not to mention the people from Jingyang and Jingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, there are not many people in Jiangbei. Liu Ye is a rare species.

"If the soldiers want to be familiar with water war, one needs to find Dahu, and the other is 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, they just seem to be..."

"um..."

the army led by Cao Cao wanted to level the southeast at one stroke. One of the important reasons for his failure was that he killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Cai Mao and Zhang yunben were the Navy generals under Liu Biao's command. They had been in Jingzhou for a long time and were proficient in fighting on the water. Zhou Yu took it as a serious problem and tried to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

After Cao Cao killed two men, he suddenly realized that he was sorry, because although he had many generals under his command, none of them was proficient in water war. With no alternative, Cao Cao had to pull a general from the short one and ordered Yu Jin and Mao Xuan to be the commander-in-chief and train the Navy."Wen is well versed in military books, and has some experience in the Navy. Otherwise, he will be in charge of the construction of the Navy with his articles?" Liu Ye asked.

"General Wenze is from juping of Mount Tai. It seems that general Wenze is blind when he is training Navy." Jia Xu shook his head.

Liu Ye fixed his eyes on Liu Ye: "Ziyang has been in Huainan for a long time, and he has made extensive friends. Should he get to know a general who knows water war?"

"I know some people, but most of them are river bandits. It's more than enough to serve as the assistant of middle and low-level generals in the army."

"Well, Ziyang will write to let them come. If you can, he will be the head of the village and a hundred generals." Liu Ye said: "in addition, Wenhe, with a certain tone of voice, has widely recruited generals who are proficient in water warfare from the south of the Yangtze River. If they came, they would have been absolutely generous!"

"No!" Jia Xu agreed.

At this time, sun CE occupied Jiangdong, and many of Yangzhou's heroes were attached to him. However, there must be many people who were watching and did not rush to turn to sun CE. If he was a high-ranking official, he must be able to recruit some of them. As long as he practiced more and formed a certain combat power, he did not have to surpass the large-scale Jingzhou Navy and Jiangdong Navy.

On the same day, Liu Ye issued orders one after another. After receiving the documents, Xun you immediately dispatched thousands of people to deliver money and grain to Yuzhou to supply Guo Jia to recruit boatman. Liu Ye, on the other hand, sent letters to his old friends in Huainan, asking them to come to Henan Province to work.

At the same time, Liu Ye orders Xu Huang, who stayed in Jiujiang, to withdraw his troops and return to Yuzhou.
