After Chen Deng left, Zuo Aoran looked at Huang Zu and asked, "Do you know about water fighting?"
"I have read the book on naval warfare." Huang Zu replied.
"Oh? Can you recite a verse?" Zuo Aoran asked again.
"Why not?!" Huang Zu immediately said: "A large wing is six feet wide and twelve feet long. It can accommodate twenty-six warriors, fifty men, three gunboats, and long hook spears."
There are four officials for the axe, one for each of the servants and archers, and each of the ninety-one people should use four long hooks, spears and long axes, thirty-four arrows each for crossbows, and thirty-two arrows for each of the three thousand three hundred armors."
"The Art of Water War by Wu Zixu, a native of the Chu State at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and a doctor of the Wu State! Well, not bad!" Zuo Aoran said.
There were very few water battles during the Three Kingdoms period. Even in the Western Han Dynasty, there were very few water battles. Therefore, all generals were not involved in water battles. Only some generals who were relatively close to rivers, lakes and seas were involved, and Huang Zu was also involved.
Because he was stationed in Jiangxia, he learned some water fighting skills. He wanted to show off, but he didn't expect Zuo Aoran to reveal the source of the section he mentioned. This made Huang Zu surprised, and thought to himself: "It's really worthy of it."
He is called the Grand Marshal! He even touches on the art of water warfare!"
"My lord, Zu didn't understand water warfare at first. It was only because he served as the governor of Jiangxia that he had 5,000 naval troops and only 3,000 infantrymen. Moreover, because of the natural danger and the river on the side, he was involved in water warfare. In the final analysis, Zu was only half
A man who knows how to fight by water is not as good as Cai Mao, the chief and deputy commander of the Jingzhou Navy. If Wang Yun happens, he will not dare to show off in front of the lord anymore, and will ask the lord to punish him." Huang Zu was a little scared this time, originally he was fighting
Because I know how to fight with water, I feel superior to others.
Zuo Aoran waved his hands and said: "You don't need to take this matter to heart. Let me ask you again. Are your five thousand elite naval forces and more than ten warships as you said? You can do them all in one letter."
Does it belong to me?"
Upon hearing Zuo Aoran's question, Huang Zu raised his brows with joy, held his head high and said: "Reporting to my lord, I dare not say anything false about this matter. As long as one letter is required, it will all belong to my lord. However, this matter requires
Do it as soon as possible, otherwise if you delay it for a long time, your ancestors may change!"
"Oh?" Zuo Aoran thought for a long time and then said: "It's not that I don't trust General Huang, it's just that I still have something unclear in my heart. I hope General Huang will make it clear..."
Before Zuo Aoran finished speaking, Huang Zu interrupted and said: "The confusion in my lord's heart is all Huang Zu's fault. It was Huang Zu who didn't express it clearly. Zuo Aoran had a son named She who followed him in the army all the year round.
It is quite prestigious, and Zu has two trusted generals, Chen Jiu and Deng Long, under his command. As long as my son and the two generals are among the Jiangxia navy, Zu only needs a letter to make them all belong to the lord."
"Since all I have is a letter, there is no need to rush now. If I can save this chess piece for use at a critical moment in the future, the power it can exert at that time will be the greatest."
Zuo Aoran said somewhat to himself.
"My lord is wise, but my lord is too considerate, and my ancestors were so stupid that I almost ruined my lord's career!" Huang Zu said flatteringly.
Zuo Aoran chuckled and said: "For the sake of your son Huang She's safety, and for your plan to capture Jingzhou in the future, from today on, you will change your name to Zuo Aozu, a brother of the same clan as my commander Zuo Aoran.
After Jingzhou, you are changing your name back."
"I respectfully obey my lord's orders," Huang Zudao said.
"Okay! You go down and have a rest first!" Zuo Aoran said.
Huang Zu cupped his fists and said, "General Zuo Aozu obeys your order!"
The next day, when Chen Deng left, Zuo Aoran ordered Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, He Yi, and He Man to accompany Chen Deng to Xuzhou. It turned out that Chen Deng had repeatedly refused to let these five generals accompany him.
It's very simple. Three of these five generals are the pillars of the army and cannot be separated from the army. The other two are the personal bodyguards of the lord, who cannot leave the lord's side. Even though Chen Deng said so
He said, but he was extremely excited in his heart! The Lord actually valued his own safety so much!
Zuo Aoran could only say that if you go to Xuzhou, you will definitely pass by Jizhou. Jizhou is now owned by Yuan Shao, so he is afraid that it will be in danger. And now the Yellow Turbans have resurrected in Qingzhou, and Chongzhou is connected to Qingzhou, and there is fear of bandit attacks, etc. Zuo Aoran
His eloquence was not as good as that of Chen Deng! After a few words, Chen Deng was speechless. In the end, Zuo Aoran had no other choice but to give an order to Chen Deng to take the general with him.
Moreover, Han arranged a task for Chen Deng, which was to lead three thousand troops and escort 50,000 gold, 50,000 silver, and 20,000 pieces of silk and cloth to Xuzhou, of which 20,000 gold and silver, and 10,000 pieces of cloth were given to the governor of Xuzhou.
Tao Qian's land, and the remaining land was given to Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui. At first, Chen Deng was unwilling to accept it, but later he couldn't resist Zuo Aoran, so he accepted it. Zuo Aoran even asked Chen Deng to give it to him.
Father Chen Gui said: "I wish you good health, as old as pines and cypresses, all the best, and a long life!" After Chen Deng paid his respects, he was escorted by Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, He Yi and He Man.
Next, he took three thousand soldiers to escort the vehicles and drove to Xuzhou.
The Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an City.
"Reporting to Dong Xiangguo, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was bewitched by Yuan Shao of Jizhou and attacked Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha. Sun Jian was killed by an arrow. Fortunately, his son and the rest of his tribe were saved by Xu Chu, a subordinate of Zuo Aoran, and they escaped death. Sun and Liu both
Since then, the family has been at odds with each other, and Liu Biao even killed Zuo Aoran's messenger, fearing that the two families will meet at war soon!" Li Su reported.
When Dong Zhuo heard the news of Sun Jian's death, he couldn't help but feel happy. Dong Zhuo had worked with Sun Jian to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising and the Qiang Rebellion. He had seen Sun Jian's bravery, which made Dong Zhuo fearful from the bottom of his heart. This time he learned what he was most afraid of.
After the person died, he smiled and said to his left and right: "One of my innermost worries has been eliminated!"
Everyone on the left and right congratulated Dong Zhuo: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister! Congratulations to the Prime Minister! Not a single soldier or general was injured, and a big trouble has been eliminated!"
Dong Zhuo laughed for a while, then sighed to himself: "I wonder when Cao Cao will die!"
When the princes of Guandong challenged Dong, the two of them beat Dong Zhuo the most fiercely. Moreover, they actually refused Dong Zhuo's proposal of marriage. This was very embarrassing for Dong Zhuo. I wonder if Dong Zhuo's daughter is ugly and difficult to marry? Grandma's.
!?You don’t know how to understand Dong Zhuo!?
Dong Zhuo thought for a while and then asked: "How old is Sun Jian's son now?"
Li Su reported: "Sun Jian had five sons, one daughter and one adopted son. The eldest son Sun Ce was named Bofu, the second son Sun Quan was named Zhongmou, the third son Sun Yi was named Shubi, the fourth son Sun Kuang was named Ji Zuo, the fifth son Sun Lang was named Good Morning, and the youngest daughter Sun Ren
The adopted son's real name is Shangxiang, and his adopted son's real surname is Yu. Sun Jian gave him the surname Sun, and his given name is Shao, with the courtesy name Gongli. The eldest son, Sun Ce, is only seventeen years old."
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Hmph, at seventeen, what can you do?"
At this time, Li Ru suddenly took a step forward, cupped his fists and said: "Xiangguo, today we have three new memorials, all of which were played by Zuo Aoran."
Dong Zhuo frowned and asked, "What are you playing?"
"Zuo Aoran euphemistically said that he entered Bingzhou to fight against the Black Mountain bandits, but in fact he wanted to occupy Bingzhou as his own. Rijin also reported to the Prime Minister to confer him the title of Bingzhou Shepherd. The prime minister had the intention of taking over the title of Bingzhou Shepherd himself if he did not grant him the title. He also recommended the son of the dead traitor Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Xu became the governor of Youzhou, and he asked the prime minister for the posthumous title of his soldiers who died in the conquest of Bingzhou. These three actions are abominable!" Li Ru said angrily.
