Chapter 439: Jiang Xia is hard to find

It is said that the Xiangyang military conference is about to end, and Zhuge Kongming talked eloquently, and determined Chen Long's determination to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. The unity of the city has been united, and when the meeting is about to end, the general of the navy, Gan Ning Gan Xingba, hurriedly came to bring Chen Long the long-lost flying dragon horse and gentian bright silver spear.

Long Chen stroked his palms and laughed: "Xingba came just in time!" How's the training going?"

Gan Xingba still looks like a beard, unkempt, but with broad shoulders and a thick back, a majestic figure, thick eyebrows and broad cheeks, cold eyes, and stands there with his legs spread like Optimus Prime, performing a standard military salute, exuding a strong masculinity. Gan Ning asked and replied: "My lord, the Xiangyang Navy is already quite large-scale, with a full 100,000 sailors, thousands of warships, and the entire Han River, except for the Jiangxia exit, which is garrisoned by my Xiangyang Navy Army. ”

Chen Long's face turned pale, and he said unhappily and worriedly: "Why do you say that except for Jiangxia exports?"

Gan Ning was slightly shocked and said, "Lord, do you mean to let my navy fight for the entire Jiangxia now?"

Chen Long frowned and said, "The Xiangyang Navy has Zhu Huan training, but what about the Jiangling Navy Army?"

Gan Ning said: "The Jiangling Navy is personally trained by his subordinates, and there are also 100,000 people. Liu Zhang of Yizhou in the west, and Huang Zhong of Jiangxia in the east. ”

A section of the Yangtze River under the control of Jiangling is a new city built by Huang Zhong on the right bank of the Yangtze River in the Jiangxia section, and the navy transports strategic materials and population to and from the army, which is one of the important tasks of the Jiangling navy, and the size of the ships is larger than that of the Xiangyang navy.

Chen Long looked at Gan Ning, but said to Zhuge Liang in his mouth: "Kong Ming military division, Jiangxia Huang Zu held Qiyue City, blocking the mouth of the Han River, so that my Xiangyang Navy Division could only be in the nest, and Zhou Yu occupied Lushan City and Chaisang County, so that Huang Hansheng and Jingzhou Navy became a tiger, and could only look at the other side of Jiangxia and drool, who can tell me why I can't kill Huang Zu's bastard first and drive Zhou Yu back to his master mother to feed?" Xingba asked if he could send troops to fight Jiangxia now, Kong Ming, what do you say?"

This sudden change protruded, everyone was dumbfounded, and said that he would fight Chang'an first, could it be that the lord changed his mind? If the battle of Jiangxia is carried out, it will inevitably be a naval battle, and it will be difficult to predict the outcome of a full-scale war with Sun Ce's Jiangdong army.

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, looked at Gan Ning, but replied to Chen Long: "What the lord said has always been the nightmare of the Qinglong Water Army, General Huang Zhong, General Gan Ning, General Zhu Huan, General Gao Pei, and Lu Su Military Division, the main generals of the water army, do not want to take the entire Jiangxia for a moment and control the entire Han River, Xiang River and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. ”

"Jiangxia County, the place where the three rivers and estuaries converge, has a complex geography and is isolated from the moats, and since Liu Biao, no force has been able to occupy the whole county."

"The Yangtze River and the Han River are both turbulent and dangerous, and if you don't find a port and rush to the shore, you may run aground, run aground, and even be ambushed. Since you can't cross the river at will, you should stop at the other party's port, and once you cross the river from the port, what awaits you will inevitably be the enemy's net. In this battle of crossing the river, there were not several times the enemy's troops, and the landing battle was not easy to fight. ”

"It is not only the troops that fight the war, but also the timely supply of grain and grass materials, but the supply of grain and grass materials is always a line on the river, and it is easy to cut off this water supply line without the protection of the superior naval army, and after crossing the river, the supply of grain and grass materials also has to cross the river, for Huang Zu and Zhou Yu, who are good at water warfare, it is not difficult to sneak attack these supply ships."

The generals nodded when they heard this, but Chen Long remembered the Battle of Chibi in the official history, even if Cao Cao had millions of soldiers, thousands of generals, and strategists like rain, he failed to break through the Yangtze River natural danger, and finally died in a fire.

"Jiangxia County leads fourteen counties, Xiling, Jingling, Xiyang, Yi, Qi, Hubei, Anlu, Shaxian, Qichun, Yan, Yundu, Xiapheasant, Pingchun, Nanxin, all of which are heavily guarded, all of which are difficult to attack because of Jiangyi, and General Huang Hansheng only has Hanyang New Town, I am afraid it would be good to be able to defend it. Now Zhou Yu and Huang Zu are under the pressure of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's forces on the northern front, and they don't dare to attack Huang Hansheng easily, so the two sides are deadlocked so far, because whoever starts the war first is not pleased! ”

Zhuge Liang said plain and real, and when everyone was silent and thoughtful, Chen Long's voice remembered: "General Gan Ning! You now know the reason why I won't take you to Chang'an! You, the commander of the navy, should know that at present, this little navy is not enough to fight a Jiangxia! Without you, Hansheng would be alone! Continue training sailors in Gangneung for me! You can't live without it there! ”

Gan Ning knew the intentions of the lord, and couldn't help but shed a cold sweat, this time he earnestly followed the lord's actions, and indeed left his post without permission. He said with a little shame: "Lord, my subordinates understand, for the sake of me bringing you the Flying Dragon Horse and the Bright Silver Spear, let the subordinates go back and atone for their crimes!" ”

For this martial arts general, Long Chen knew that he was a thief in the past with a brocade sail thief across the rivers and lakes, although he was loyal to himself, he was inevitably free and loose, and he was afraid that he was the only one in his eyes. Chen Long got up and walked in front of Gan Ning, stretched out his hand and pressed Gan Ning's shoulder and said, "Xingba, your water fighting talent, no one in the Qinglong Army can compare with you." The cost of the navy is huge, and it is not an overnight achievement. You have to discuss more with Zhu Huan, Han Sheng, and Xi Zhicai, how to strengthen the water army. In terms of ship design, Yueying will leave you some patterns to build a fast, stable and sturdy battleship. The battle of the naval army has a long way to go, and when the time comes, you will be the vanguard of fighting Jiangxia and destroying Eastern Wu! I only have five years of time for you! ”

Gan Ning was overjoyed and said: "Five years! Thank you for your trust! I believe that the lord will be able to conquer the Central Plains within five years, hold the Son of Heaven hostage, and establish a new regime! ”

When all the generals heard this, they all stood up and responded violently, and the Xiangyang Conference, which had an important position in the history of Chen Long's crossing, finally ended successfully. This meeting not only established Zhuge Liang's important position in the Qinglong Army, but also established the important military strategy of fighting Chang'an first and coercing the Son of Heaven.

At the end of the meeting, the generals gathered around Chen Long to ask questions, and Huang Yueying, who was still young, grabbed Zhuge Liang and asked secretly: "Brother Liang, what does it mean that the lord just said that the lord 'went on' Queen He?" I don't understand. ”

Zhuge Liang was picking up a cup of fragrant tea, preparing to moisten the dry throat that Yirun said, when he heard the words, he almost sprayed Huang Yueying on the other side. Putting down the cup, Zhuge Liang said with a black line: "Sister Yueying, wait for me to ask the general about this, and I will ....... I don't understand it very well! With that, he put his hands behind his back, turned his head and staggered towards the generals, not daring to pay attention to this Yueying girl with a well-developed brain.
