Chapter 571: Gan Xingba was ordered to pacify the Japanese state
Zuo Aoran has written the memorial and sent it to Chang'an. This method still needs to be implemented. It will take at least twenty-five days to get the memorial to Chang'an and back. Now we must seize the time to build warships. Now we only have
There are ten battleships, and eight more are under construction in the dock. Although the time of twenty-five days is a bit tight, it is enough to complete the remaining projects. By then, there will be one ironclad Zhenyuan and seven Dingyuan.
Ironclad ships, ten Zhiyuan armored ships, a total of 18 ships in the ocean-going fleet, this fleet can carry a total of 50,000 men, horses and food.
During the period when the memorial was being presented, Zuo Aoran stepped up his training of sailors. They did not need to be very skilled, as long as they could skillfully control warships. Most of these sailors were recruited by Zuo Aoran from fishermen in coastal areas, and they were all very good at water, such as
"Hunjianglong-Jiagu", "Chuan Huo'er-Yang Xi", "Baitiao in the Waves-Ding Shuai", "Li Di Tai Sui-Zhang Xingbin", "Short-lived Erlang-Zheng Wukai", "Living Yama-Zhang Huan"
, "Jiao out of the cave - Tian Shuang", "Fanjiang mirage - Tian Yin", etc. Some of them have been to the distant sea. As for the army they carry, just let them adapt to the bumps on the sea.
Zuo Aoran only used one of his troops to fight this time. The total number of horse infantry was less than 10,000. The rest were Huang Zu's 5,000 Jiangxia navy, 10,000 Xuzhou navy and 20,000 Xuzhou elite infantry, that is,
Danyang soldiers!
However, the Japanese country at this time did not have very advanced weapons. Its main weapons were spears, tachi, long-handled knives and crossbows with a range of no more than a hundred steps. Moreover, not all Japanese countries could equip these weapons. Only those big countries could.
They are relatively fully equipped, so even though there are only 50,000 troops, these troops that are equipped to the teeth are enough to be worth more than 200,000 troops on the Japanese islands.
As expected by Zuo Aoran, Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie was very happy after seeing Zuo Aoran's memorial. If Zuo Aoran said that the large Japanese island was really included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, then he
He will be another rare wise emperor with great talent and strategy after Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. His name will remain in history!
The excited Liu Xie wanted to immediately approve Zuo Aoran's battle plan, but now Guo Si and Li Jue are actually in power, so Liu Xie still needs to see what they mean. Guo Si and Li Jue think it is full of mysterious dangers
If they go to the sea, it is not certain whether they will come back alive. Even if they can come back, Zuo Aoran will definitely lose some of his troops. Therefore, Guo Si and Li Jue did not object, but instead asked Liu Xie to issue an order to order Gongsun Xu of Youzhou.
Lelang and other counties under his jurisdiction prepared sufficient military supplies and supplies to support Zuo Aoran in pacifying the Japanese state.
However, the other ministers in the imperial court also discussed this expedition. Some said that this move would enhance the might of our great Han Dynasty and expand our territory. Some said that the sea was dangerous and that there would be no return. Some said that the Japanese would never return.
But there is no need to argue with the barbarians, but Guo Si and Li Jue have already made their decision, and no matter what they say, it will be in vain.
When the imperial edict came, Zuo Aoran had already completed preparations. All eighteen warships had been launched, and all the provisions and troops were ready. An army of 50,000 men boarded the ships and set off in high spirits. On each warship, flags were flying in a row.
Zuo Aoran and other generals under his command, as well as Tao Qian, Mi Zhu and other Xuzhou officials, all came to the port to see him off. Everyone couldn't help but marvel when they saw the 100-meter-long Zhenyuan ironclad and the entire majestic fleet.
In May of the third year of Chuping of the Han Dynasty, it was early summer of 192 AD.
The imperial prince Taifu - the loyal and brave Marquis who protects the country - the general marshal - the general of chariots and cavalry - General Gan Ning of Zhennan under Zuo Aoran, the shepherd of Bingzhou, led an army of fifty thousand infantry, more than ten generals, and eighteen warships, and went on an expedition to the Japanese islands.
From then on, the expedition fleets of all countries, which shocked the four oceans and created the miracle of the empire where the sun never sets in the East, sailed toward the distance...
Lü Bu left Wuguan to join Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu blamed Lü Bu for being indecisive and refused to accept him. Lü Bu defected to Yuan Shao again. Yuan Shao accepted him and together with Lü Bu defeated the two brothers Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan of Youzhou. Yuan Shao only gained half of Youzhou.
, if it weren't for Lou Ban and Gu Jin leading the Wuhuan cavalry to stop Lu Bu's advance, even the half of Youzhou controlled by Gongsun Xu would belong to Yuan Shao.
Lü Bu thought he was successful and was arrogant about Yuan Shao's soldiers. Yuan Shao wanted to kill him. Lü Bu led his troops to surrender to Kong Rong, but Kong Rong accepted him. Pang Shu secretly hid Lü Bu's wife and children in Chang'an City and returned them to Lü Bu, Li Jue and Guo.
When Si found out about this, he killed Pang Shu and wrote a letter to Kong Rong, instructing him to kill Lü Bu. Lü Bu abandoned Kong Rong and went to Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao led Chen Gong to see Zhang Miao. Chen Gong persuaded Zhang Miao with his sharp tongue: "Now that the heroes have risen together, the world will fall apart. You, with thousands of people, will be on the ground of the four battles, and you will hold your sword."
Gu Pan is worthy of being a hero, but instead he is controlled by others. Isn't that despicable! Now that Cao's army is marching to the east, the place is empty, and Lu Bu is the hero of the world. An incomparable man, if you have the right to welcome him, we can take Yanzhou together and observe the situation in the world at any time.
If you adapt, you can achieve hegemony!"
Zhang Miao was overjoyed and asked his younger brother Zhang Chao to join forces with Cao Cao's lieutenants Xu Si, Wang Kai, Liu Chao and others to conspire against each other. They welcomed Lü Bu as the shepherd of Yanzhou. Lü Bu occupied Puyang and the counties under Yanzhou's jurisdiction except Juancheng and Dong'a.
Everyone outside Fan County surrendered, and Lu Bu led his army to attack Juancheng, Dong'a, and Fan County. However, Xun Yu and others devised a plan and held on tightly. Cao Ren could not win even the battle.
When Cao Cao heard that his hometown in Yanzhou had been attacked, he betrayed Liu Bei and lured his army to Yanzhou. Cao Ren went out of the city to greet Cao Cao and said to Cao Cao: "Lü Bu is powerful. He has Chen Gong, Gao Shun as his assistant, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba."
, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and other eight capable generals have now occupied Puyang and other places. The three places of Juancheng, Dong'a and Fan County have not been captured, but they were connected by Xun Yu's design.
, and defended the city walls to the letter, and this was how we were able to preserve it.”
Cao Cao said: "I expected Lu Bu to be a brave and foolhardy man, so there is nothing to worry about!"
Guo Jia said: "My lord, you must not underestimate your enemy."
Cao Cao agreed with Guo Jia's words and shouted: "Feng Xiao's words are true. I should set up camp first, stabilize the position, wait for the moment, and defeat Lu Bu in one fell swoop!" Cao Cao then sent people to camp in the camp and wait.
opportunity.
Lu Bu heard that Cao Cao had returned to Yanzhou and had already passed Teng County, so he summoned his lieutenants Xue Lan and Li Feng: "I have wanted to use you two for a long time. You can lead 10,000 troops to defend Yanzhou, and I will go and defeat Cao Cao!"
The two of them clasped their fists and said, "Yes!"
Knowing this, Chen Gong hurriedly went to see Lu Bu and admonished him: "General, if you abandon Yanzhou, where will you go?"
Lu Bu said with a smile: "I want to station troops in Puyang to form a tripod."
Chen Gong objected: "No, Xue Lan will definitely defend Yanzhou. One hundred and eighty miles to the south of here, the road to Mount Tai is dangerous, and there are more than ten thousand elite troops there. When Cao Cao heard that Yanzhou was lost, he would definitely go a long way to wait for him.
More than halfway, he can be captured with one blow. In the past, Han Xin wanted to defeat the Zhao soldiers and crossed the entrance of Jingxing. Li Zuoche, the king of Guangwu, said that he was the king of An. Chen Yu said: "Now I heard that Han Xin took advantage of the power and heard from afar that he could not take the lead. Now the way of Jingxing is
, chariots cannot have square tracks, cavalry cannot form a line, and if the force is ignored, the food must be behind them. I hope that the false ministers and thirty thousand soldiers will pass through the road and cut off their baggage. There are deep ditches and high bases under your feet, but do not fight, and there is no fight in front of them.
, there is no way to retreat, there is nothing to plunder in the field, and within ten days, the heads of the two generals can be hung under their command. Otherwise, they will be captured by the two sons." Chen Yu said: "I have 200,000 righteous soldiers, and there is no need for deception.
Strange plan." So he didn't listen to Li Zuoche's words. Han Xin saw it and was overjoyed, so he dared to go down. Before he arrived at Jingxingkou, he sent a message in the middle of the night and selected two thousand people on light horses, each holding a red flag, to follow the road.
He then looked at the Zhao army and warned him, "Zhao is chasing me from the empty wall. He rushes into the Zhao wall, pulls out his banner and changes his position." He ordered General Pi to pass on the meal and said: "Today, if Zhao Huishi is defeated, ten thousand people will go ahead and get out of the backwater."
Formation." When Zhao Jun saw it, they all laughed. On the first day of the battle, General Han Xinjian marched out of Jingxingkou with flags and drums, and Zhao Kaibi attacked him. The battle lasted for a long time, so Han Xin and Zhang Er half-abandoned flags and drums and marched on the water, but Zhao Guo chased him empty-handed.
Han Xin sent his cavalry to the wall of Zhao, pulled out the Zhao banner and set up the Han banner. The troops on the water fought desperately. The Zhao army had been lost, and the rest wanted to return to the wall. They were frightened when they saw the banner, so they fled in disorder. The Han soldiers attacked and were defeated.
Then he killed Chen Yu, collected more than 200,000 defeated soldiers, and captured King Zhao Xie. We are using this strategy to cut off food today, and the general will check it out."
