Jinling was the capital of the Six Dynasties and the land of ancient Wu and Yue. Its power resembled that of a dragon and a tiger, with the image of a tiger perched on a dragon's plate.
Ganquan Palace, one of the ancient Yue palace sites!
Xun Shaoyu is wearing a ceremonial crown, with seven hairs hanging upward, and he is sitting upright.
On both sides of the main hall in the inner court, military generals embroidered generals' robes, embroidered with tigers and tigers, and civil servants wore official uniforms with embroidered egrets, leaning down and kowtow.
"See, Yuehou!!"
"See, Yuehou!!"
In the main hall, the crowd of ministers was buzzing with excitement, and the sound echoed in the hall and lingered for a long time.
Xun Shaoyu looked dignified and said slowly: "My lords, please forgive me!"
"Promise!" After the ceremony, all the ministers bowed their heads and slowly returned to their seats.
Live the Qi and nourish the body!
Looking at the mood of the ministers, Xun Shaoyu smiled and nodded.
In just four years, Xun Shaoyu used Danyang as his basic base and used troops to expand in all directions. His troops defeated the four prefectures of Fengyang, Lujiang, Kuaiji, and Yuzhang. The most elite four prefectures in Yangzhou were all captured by Xun Shaoyu.
Shao Yu has it in his pocket.
Especially in the first battle, Li Yuanji, known as the Hidden Dragon of Yangzhou, was defeated and established the dominance of Yangzhou.
Today, he occupies seven prefectures in Yangzhou and controls half of the land in Yangzhou. He has a hundred thousand people under his command wearing armor and controlling strings, making him the largest prince in Yangzhou.
Even Liu Yu of Taixing Prefecture, who was proud of his former Song Dynasty clan, could only retreat to the three prefectures and barely protect himself.
Cao Yang Yong, the official in charge of civil affairs, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu calls the Song Dynasty and the King of Wu. He has always regarded himself as the orthodox Song Dynasty. His intentions are ulterior and his actions can be punished. Recently, troops have been stationed in Pengze.
The three prefectures of Yuhang and Qiantang use the three prefectures as their minions and repeatedly use small groups of sailors to test your bottom line. You must not fail to observe and guard against it."
Yang Yong's words carry great weight. After all, the civil service department is one of the six departments.
The emperor has six divisions and the princes have six divisions!
The six departments have ministers, and the six divisions have merit officers. This merit officer is already the top figure in Ganquan Palace.
Hearing this, Xun Shaoyu rubbed his brows slightly, his mind sinking.
In the past, Liu Yu was just a rough man in the world, but after all, he benefited from the legacy of the former Song Dynasty. He had several generals who were good at fighting, and they were also good at continuous control. Although there were only three prefectures, the remaining three prefectures
The princes also looked up to Liu Yuma. He was regarded as the biggest obstacle to Xun Shaoyu's unification of Yangzhou.
"Liu Yu is an old fox, cunning and slippery. He has always been hovering on my bottom line, neither deep nor shallow, leaving me helpless."
Xun Shaoyu tapped his fingers on the sandalwood table beside him, and the corners of his mouth were bitter.
Although he is the number one prince in Yangzhou, he has a great reputation in thirteen states in the world.
This is a good thing and a bad thing!
The good thing is that for someone with such a reputation and some ability, if he wants to stand out, his reputation as a marquis is the best guarantee.
The disadvantages are equally obvious!
Xun Shaoyu is now only one battle away from pacifying the six prefectures of Yangzhou, truly unifying the thirteen prefectures of Suzhou and Hangzhou in Yangzhou, and becoming the first great prince to unify a state.
This strength and influence was a bit dazzling in the eyes of other princes and even the Wei court. Even if he could not really interfere in Yangzhou affairs, he could still slow down Xun Shaoyu by overtly or covertly assisting Liu Yu.
It can be said that today's Xun Shaoyu has a huge goal, and everyone in the world is watching every move he makes. He cannot just bury his head and rush forward like in the past.
It was precisely because of these concerns that Liu Yu's army dared to arrogantly hang out under Xun Shaoyu's nose.
Sooner or later, all the people and ships in Liu Laoer's navy will be named Xun!
Xun Shaoyu's mind turned and he looked at the generals in the palace, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yang Jiji,"
Yang Wei stepped out of the queue and said: "The general will be here at the end."
Xun Shaoyu asked: "How is the training of Li Hu's Wuhu navy?"
Yang Wei was in charge of the navy, and the Wuhu navy was also under his command.
Li Hu, on the other hand, was an old minister of Jiangning. He came from a wealthy family in Jiangning. He was famous for his bravery and strength in battle. He was one of the representatives of the young warriors in the army. When he took Yuzhang, he showed great success and was valued by Xun Shaoyu, who entrusted him with important tasks. .Chen Bing was in Wuhu, training his navy.
Yangzhou has many rivers and rivers, and naval forces have been rampant since ancient times. If you want to firmly control Yangzhou, a powerful naval force is indispensable.
As the commander-in-chief of the navy, Yang Wei naturally knows the situation of the navy under his command very well.
Yang Yi leaned over and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Li Hu has been training troops for more than two years. The navy has begun to take shape. There are thirty patrol boats, fifty warships, and small boats are not included in the inspection."
“Very useful”
Xun Shaoyu nodded slowly to show his approval.
Based on this calculation, this naval force should have hundreds of large and small ships.
Hundreds of ships are not a small number!
The navy is not infantry. Infantry can become the best among the best as long as they are trained hastily a few times and can withstand the temper of the battlefield.
It is said that the century-old navy, a powerful naval force, took two years to build the framework, which is already very hasty.
"I, my lord, sent Li Hu to deploy troops in Wuhu to guard against Liu Yu's attack. Liu Yu, an old thief, is too slippery, making it hard for people to figure out where to go."
"His Tai'an is finally a thorn. Without it, my army can only circle around Taihu and Wuhu. It cannot go north, let alone go south. Therefore, this thorn must defeat him at any cost. Be sure to b."
"Now, time waits for no one!"
Xun Shaoyu's determination to use the military was clearly revealed. The civil and military personnel in the palace could also feel Xun Shaoyu's unquestionable will.
The Turer cavalry of the Wei Dynasty are as strong as ever. But after years of wars, who of the rebels who can survive now is a weak opponent?
Precisely because of the wear and tear of the human sea tactics, although the Tule people's military front has always been extremely sharp, most of the Thirteen Prefectures were still lost. This is a crime other than war.
After all, tens of millions of Song people could only match the hundreds of thousands of Tule people. No matter how tough and brave the Tule people were, they couldn't withstand such defeats again and again.
"The general trend of the world seems to be that the situation of vassal towns will be restored. But it may not be more likely. Within ten years, the situation may be settled."
Xun Shaoyu listened to the opinions of the civil servants and generals one by one, and felt a sense of urgency in his mind.
This was an intuition of an approaching crisis, which Xun Shaoyu had to pay some attention to.
Today, great fortune is in his body, and dragon energy is strong. Xun Shaoyu is a martial arts practitioner. Driven by his luck, he keeps improving all the way. He even gradually breaks away from the shackles of foreign martial arts and reaches the first level, a more mysterious and advanced state. It seems to be a bit like cutting off the hair and washing out the marrow.
In the void, the red dragon coiled above Jinling slowly opened its dragon eyes, swallowing the Yangzhou dragon veins. The born red dragon stared at the distant northern land. In the dragon's eyes, there seemed to be a There was a trace of solemnity, like an eternal enemy.
Wuhu County, Navy Camp!
Li Hu stood on the deck with his hands behind his hands, his eyes filled with pride.
The men were shoulder-to-shoulder, holding shields in one hand and the other, with drops of muddy sweat flowing on their tanned skin.
"ha!"
"Hey!"
The men were equipped with swords and shields, one sword and one shield, and their movements were uniform, as if they were one body.
A lieutenant followed behind him, with respect on his face, and followed every step.
Li Hu looked at the athletes with a happy face and said: "This is what I, the Wuhu sailor, should look like!"
The lieutenant general bowed and said: "If the general had not won the hearts of all the soldiers, how could the military be so prosperous? I, the athletes of Wuhu, are eager to fight. All of them dare to fight and all of them can fight."
"That old man Liu Yu has repeatedly offended me in Wuhu. My brothers have been holding back their anger for a long time and are waiting for a head-on attack. Let old man Liu Yu know how powerful my Wuhu athletes are."
Li Hu smiled and shook his head, knowing that it was flattery, and there was some flattery in it.
Li Hu said: "This general is favored by his superiors and trained the Wuhu Navy just to break Liu Yu's interception of the Yangzhou water system, break Liu Yu's self-confident invincible navy, and sneak into Yangzhou for his superiors. Then he marched into Yizhou and Jingzhou to do something.
preparation."
The title of superior was a treatment that was only given to Jiangning's old ministers. Among Xun Shaoyu's Yue army, it was barely a symbol of seniority.
"As long as our Wuhu navy can firmly hold the Wuhu waterline and contain Liu Yu's military power, Liu Yu can only look at the river and sigh."
Li Hu's face, with a confident smile, and every gesture seemed extremely convincing.
"Report!!"
A soldier shouted loudly and ran out of the navy stronghold.
"General, Tai'an military situation!" The soldier knelt on one knee, holding a roll of linen cloth high above his head, holding it firmly with both hands.
Li Hu was shocked. Tai'an was the place where Liu Yu started. Li Hu had always paid more attention to this opponent.
Li Hu grabbed the linen cloth and slowly spread it out.
After just one glance, Li Hu's expression changed dramatically. He couldn't help but squeeze the linen cloth into a ball with his palms, and his expression couldn't help changing.
The deputy general on the side watched Li Hu's expression change, his lips squirmed slightly, but in the end he did not dare to step forward to disturb Li Hu.
Li Hu looked at the linen cloth in his hand. After a long time, his expression finally calmed down.
"Come, beat the drum and gather the generals"
The deputy general looked stunned and said: "General, what happened? You gathered the generals in such a hurry?"
Wuhu's navy has a force of five thousand, among which there are forty or fifty people in the rank of guard general and battalion commander.
Generally, only when there is an urgent military situation, Li Hu, as the commander-in-chief, will directly mobilize the generals.
"Hahaha" Li Hu put his head on his waist and laughed so hard that his tears were blurred.
"Old Liu Yu, he is dead."
The deputy general suddenly turned pale with shock: "What?"
As a native of Wuhu, the deputy general understood Liu Yu's influence very well.
Liu Yu, who rose from a water gang to become the King of Wu, is undoubtedly the White Jade Pillar of Taixing.
But now, it is this white jade pillar that holds up the sky, blocking Xun Shaoyu's steps to unify Yangzhou.
If Liu Yu dies, the balance in Yangzhou will be broken, and I don’t know how many waves will be caused.
Li Hu sneered: "It was years of injuries and illnesses that killed old Liu Yu. When Liu Yu had a son, we had several nephews in the family who could be used. Now that the young nephew is strong, the master and the young minister are suspicious.
There is a big drama going on in Tai'an Mansion!"
"Whether it is a nephew who is in the prime of life or a young son who is still in his infancy, how can they have free time to care about him now?"
"While his troops are in panic, it's time for us to make some achievements."
