Chapter eight hundred and sixty-ninth huge navy plan
Chapter 869: Huge Navy Plan
When Liu Yan said this, he looked directly at Liu Bei. To be honest, his true intention was to let Liu Bei conquer the Southern Barbarians and liberate his own troops. Now it depends on what Liu Bei says.
"If your lord needs it, Liu Bei is willing to lead his troops to clean up the Southern Barbarian tribes and get rid of this big problem for Yizhou. Of course, if your lord wants me to go to Hanzhong to help monitor Zhang Lu, Liu Bei will also be obliged to do so."
After listening to Liu Yan's words, Liu Bei knew that business was coming, so he stood up and clasped his fists at Liu Yan.
"Okay, okay, Xuande has such a good intention. Then I will make you the general of conquering the barbarians, and you will be responsible for conquering the southern barbarians. In addition, your 30,000 soldiers and horses may not be enough. I will allocate 20,000 soldiers and horses to them."
You, 50,000 troops should be almost there."
Seeing Liu Bei being so respectful, Liu Yan was also very satisfied. What he needed was a general who was good at fighting, not a threatening prince, and he was very satisfied with Liu Bei's current attitude. Besides, conquering the Southern Barbarians was a thankless job.
If Liu Bei could take the initiative, he would be able to save a lot of thought and prepare for the battle with Yuan Shu.
"Liu Bei takes the order."
Sure enough, Liu Yan still chose to let himself go to fight with the Nanman people instead of going to Hanzhong, but this was fine, it was in line with his own wishes.
"Well, then Xuande will temporarily stay in Chengdu, and then arrange for people to go to Ba County to send your troops to Yizhou County. When they arrive, you will go south to join them, and then go to Yongchang County to conquer the Southern Barbarian tribes there.
"
"promise."
Liu Bei directly cupped his fists to receive the order from Liu Yan.
"Okay, someone is here to arrange for Xuande to rest."
"Liu Bei bids farewell."
Liu Bei went down directly behind Liu Yan's men to rest.
"Recruit Zhao Wei, Dong Fu, Jing Yi, and Ren'an to come and discuss matters."
After Liu Bei left, Liu Yan again summoned four people to discuss matters.
"Lord,"
The four of them saluted Liu Yan with clasped fists.
"I have consecrated Liu Bei as the General of the Crusade against the Southern Barbarians. Zhao Wei, please allocate 20,000 troops to Liu Bei's command. The remaining troops will remain stationary until Liu Bei attacks the Southern Barbarians and then withdraw the troops and return to Chengdu."
Liu Yan glanced at the four of them and directly stated his arrangements for Liu Bei.
"My lord, have you really decided to ask Liu Bei to conquer the Southern Barbarians?"
After hearing Liu Yan's words, Zhao Wei couldn't help but frown.
"Well, I have decided that Liu Bei will go to Yongchang County to conquer the Southern Barbarian tribes."
Liu Yan spoke to Zhao Wei very firmly, which means that I have already decided, so you should not have any doubts.
"Zhao Wei obeys the order."
Zhao Wei is not stupid either. Since Liu Yan has already determined his own thoughts, he will not be stupid and make any blunt suggestions.
"Then go and do it."
"promise,"
Liu Yan decided the outcome, and the four of them could only obey the order at the same time. Liu Bei's position and arrangements were finally determined, and Liu Bei also sent a scout to Bajun to meet Guan Yu, and asked him to go directly to Yizhou County.
.
"Lord, how are you doing?"
After Liu Bei and Cheng Yu met, Cheng Yu asked him directly.
"It's done, Liu Yan has appointed me as the general to conquer the barbarians, and I will be fully responsible for the conquest of the southern barbarians."
Liu Bei glanced at Cheng Yu and directly told Liu Yan's arrangements for him.
"Haha, congratulations to my lord."
Hearing Liu Bei's answer, Cheng Yu was also extremely excited. Fortunately, he didn't go to Hanzhong, otherwise everything would be over.
"Well, it's really good."
Liu Bei also nodded.
"Okay, I'm going to collect information from the Southern Barbarians to prepare for the next war."
Cheng Yu didn't say anything nonsense and just went to collect information about the Nanman people.
While Liu Bei was being arranged, Zhang Lu was also recruiting troops to prepare for war. The 50,000-strong army was directly expanded to 80,000. The soldiers and horses left camp and headed for Anyang to guard against Yuan Shu's possible attack.
While Yizhou was preparing for the war, Jia Xu and Yuan Shu led the army north to Chang'an. At the same time, Xun You also led the army out of Chencang and outside Sanguan, and began to prepare for the attack.
After Yuan Shu arrived, he did not start the battle immediately, but chose to rest temporarily and wait for the navy to train in Jingzhou.
Zhao Yun led the army and began to sweep across Yuzhou. Runan County surrendered without a fight and surrendered directly. However, other counties and counties received Yuan Shao's defeat and died. After Liu Biao led Jingzhou to surrender, they did not resist and wrote letters of surrender one after another. Yuan Shao fought for a long time but failed.
The captured Yuzhou was captured one by one by Zhao Yun without any effort.
At the same time, Yu Ji also gained something. Twenty large ships and forty fighting ships appeared out of thin air. Fortunately, the system arranged troops on board, so no doubts were raised and they were accepted smoothly.
With these 60 ships, plus the tower ships and fighting ships that Jingzhou originally had, Yuan Shu's navy already has nearly 30 tower ships, 80 fighting ships, and more than 500 Mengchong battleships.
According to Jia Xu's plan, within half a year there will be at least ten more tower ships, thirty more battleships, at least a thousand Mengchong battleships, and countless other small ships.
This is a huge naval construction plan. Once completed, the Jingzhou Navy will become a behemoth.
There are forty large ships, more than a hundred fighting ships, and thousands of rush ships. Together with auxiliary ships such as goges, the number of people operating the ships alone is at least nearly 10,000. Plus the navy generals, this team
The final size of the Navy may reach a terrifying 100,000 people. Adding in the main force, the Southern Route Army may reach more than 200,000 people.
Although Jingzhou's shipbuilding industry is developed, it is impossible to complete it in half a year just relying on Jingzhou's strength, so all the nearby shipyards in Yangzhou also started work at the same time to help Jia Xu complete the establishment of this navy.
Time passes day by day, and within a month, Zhao Yun has swept through the entire Yuzhou like a storm, and included it into the territory of the Jizhou Army. After taking Yuzhou, except for Yizhou and Jiaozhou, all other places have gathered together again.
Together.
After Kuai Yue entered Jizhou, he got his wish and got the position of Qingzhou Mu, and then rode alone to take up the post.
After Liu Biao brought his family to Xindu, he immediately accepted Sikong's position and began to arrange matters in all directions.
Cao Cao is also very nice. After entering Xindu, he quickly adapted to Da Honglu's position and began to form Da Honglu's team. Everything is developing in an orderly manner.
Jushu was based in Jizhou, and allocated grain and grass from various places to begin to converge in the direction of Chang'an and Jingzhou. At the same time, some craftsmen from the craftsmanship camp were sent to Jingzhou to set up a trebuchet factory and a crossbow manufacturing site. Because the new ships did not have these weapons, all of this
They all need to be built locally, otherwise it would be a bit thankless if they were all allocated from Jizhou.
Yuan Shu is preparing here, and Liu Yan is also recruiting troops. One hundred thousand new soldiers have been recruited for training. At the same time, grain and grass supplies from various places have begun to gather in Zhang Lu's Hanzhong County.
After such a long march, Guan Yu finally arrived at Yizhou County with an army of 30,000 people across mountains and rivers. After learning that Guan Yu had arrived in Yizhou County, Liu Bei also said goodbye to Liu Yan and took Zhang Fei and Cheng Yu to return.
After defeating Guan Yu, Liu Bei directly led his troops to leave Yizhou County and stationed in Yongchang County. After reorganizing Liu Yan's 20,000 troops, he took 50,000 soldiers and horses to launch an offensive against the Southern Barbarians.
Three months have passed since the battle that began in the spring, and it has entered midsummer in the blink of an eye, and Yuan Shu has almost completed his preparations in the north.
"Wen He, do you want to start attacking Hanzhong now?"
Yuan Shu looked at Kan Yu in front of him. To be honest, he couldn't help it anymore and wanted to take Hanzhong first.
"Okay, there are not many soldiers and horses in Hanzhong County now, and Liu Yan's soldiers and horses have not been mobilized yet. It is time to take Hanzhong first, and then we can cooperate with the Jingzhou Navy to conquer Yizhou in one fell swoop."
When Jia Xu heard Yuan Shu's words, he also nodded. Now that the troops and horses are ready and the food and grass are sufficient, he can start the strategy of Hanzhong.
"Okay, then give the order to send out troops and notify Gongda to send out troops at the same time. I will take Hanzhong with lightning speed."
Now that Jia Xu said it was okay, there was nothing to hesitate about, and Yuan Shu directly ordered the troops to be sent out.
"promise."
The main forces of the Hu Lie Army, Hu Wei Army, Trap Army, Xuanwei Army, Polu Army, and Guards Army have 110,000 elite troops. There are also hundreds of thousands of militiamen and Sizhou soldiers. The total strength has reached more than 200,000.
,
Coupled with the fact that Xun You also pledged 70,000 troops outside Sanguan and claimed that 100,000 troops would pass through Sanguan to attack Wudu County, this time Yuan Shu from the north prepared another 300,000 troops. Facing Zhang Lu who only had 80,000 troops, even if he added
The Di people in Wudu County are also crushed in terms of strength.
"My lord, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu pledged his troops in Chang'an and ordered three hundred thousand infantry troops to leave Chang'an and kill Hanzhong. At the same time, Xun You also led an army of one hundred thousand soldiers to fight directly from Sanguan to Wudu County."
As soon as Yuan Shu moved here, Zhang Lu, who had already deployed troops and horses on the border, immediately got the news.
