The book is picked up again.

Seeing this, Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, in fact, my Xun family also sent people to the sea a few years ago.

At the beginning, my Xun family hit three huge ships, and recruited some water experts, wanting to explore overseas.

But by the time the three big ships went to sea, they were all in pieces!

If it weren't for a man who was better in the water and floated back on a plank, I wouldn't have known they had been killed.

According to him, the depths of the sea are different from ordinary rivers, where the waves are as high as several or even dozens of zhang!

Once a hurricane starts, it can sweep a whole big ship into the sky!

Therefore, if the southern princes really wanted to attack by sea or transport supplies to Yanzhou, then they would definitely suffer greatly! ”

After Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is that really the case?!" ”

"Seriously!" Xun Yu nodded seriously and said, "If the lord doesn't believe it, a certain family can send the person who was lucky enough to survive here from the house, and let the lord inquire about it." ”

"Great!" After Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, he no longer doubted it, slapped the table, and shouted excitedly: "In this case, it is ...... alone."

"Brother Meng De, don't be too happy!" Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhi.

"Eh......" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Zhi's words, and then asked puzzledly: "Do you have any objections to the virtuous brother of Xingzhi?" ”

Li Zhi didn't answer after hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, but smiled bitterly and said to Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, has your Xun family's ship reached the deep sea?" ”

"That's right......" Xun Yu nodded thoughtfully after hearing Li Zhi's words.

When Li Zhi heard this, he turned his head to Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De has never been to the sea, so it's understandable that he doesn't know the details inside.

The sea is indeed as Brother Wen Ruo said, in the depths of the ocean, a random wave can overturn a big ship.

But that's in the deep sea!

On offshore coasts, such waves are unlikely unless there is special weather.

Can you imagine how the civilians along the coast would have driven a small boat into the sea to fish if there were such big waves all the time? ”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone ...... silent, and some people who had lived in the coastal area nodded their heads and agreed with Li Zhi's thoughts.

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Now that we have been besieged from all sides, coupled with the attack on the coastal areas, doesn't that mean that we will face a five-way siege?

We will no longer be able to squeeze out troops and horses to deal with the attack on the coast. ”

To be honest, Cao Cao is a little discouraged now!

Originally, the four-way siege had made him very big, and his troops were even more stretched.

Now the five-way offensive ......

He really didn't know what to do!

After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he chuckled, shook his head and said, "Brother Meng De don't worry too much, in fact, the combat power of the navy army is not strong.

The reason why Zai Xia proposed the water army was to let Brother Meng De arrange it again

When the generals in Yuzhou and Xuzhou are in power, don't just think about their defensive ability, but also look at their offensive ability.

Because if a general who is only good at defense is likely to make a mistake when facing Sun Ce and the sea from both sides!

Therefore, the two generals of Yuzhou and Xuzhou must have the ability to lead the troops into battle! ”

"Is that so......" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he nodded and said, "Okay, when arranging the generals of these two states for my brother, I will definitely consider his fighting ability." ”

Speaking of this, his brows furrowed tightly again, and he asked, "But, even if these two generals have strong combat ability, what can they do?"

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, in the case of too much difference in strength, even if the ability of these two generals is to the sky, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the enemy, right?

You know, the total number of sailors in the south is about 130,000!

Combined with Sun Ce's 20,000 infantry, there are 170,000 people!

However, there are only 50,000 people in each state of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and once the enemy specializes in one state, the difference in strength is more than three times, the enemy will definitely be able to plow and sweep the hole to capture a state! ”

"Huh...... Brother Meng De is too worried" After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's worries, he immediately shook his head and said: "I said before that, the combat power of the navy is not strong!"

As the so-called art industry has a specialization, the navy specializes in water warfare when training on weekdays, and its land combat ability is not strong.

Therefore, don't look at the 130,000 naval army, in fact, their combat power has to be discounted, and the total is not as good as 60,000 or 70,000!

In other words, although it seems that the enemy has 170,000 men, in fact, their combat strength is equivalent to 100,000 troops at most.

And the difference between the 50,000 army and the 100,000 army is actually not big.

In addition, we are on the defensive, and we have a city wall to rely on, even if we can't defeat the enemy, we can delay enough time for me to solve Liangzhou! ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi sneered, "Hmph! After settling the matter in Liangzhou, if they don't retreat, then we will immediately return to the army and exterminate them! ”

"......" Cao Cao heard this, and after thinking for a while, he frowned and asked, "What if they send out not the navy but the army?"

They can transport the army to these two states in a big ship! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao's face was also a little pale.

Because it suddenly occurred to him that once the enemy could use ships to transport the army, as long as the coastal area was likely to be used by the enemy!

At that time, it will not be a matter of being attacked on several roads, but a total siege!

"Hehe......" Looking at Cao Cao, who was pale, Li Zhi chuckled lightly, shook his head and said: "Brother Meng De doesn't have to worry about this, I just said that there is a specialization in the art industry!"

Those armies were trained in land warfare, not water warfare, so they were average in water, and they had never been on a ship.

And three or four percent of the people who have not been on the boat are seasick (fictitious, I haven't found the actual data, but as far as I know, there are indeed a lot of people who are seasick, and it is too much to say that three or four percent is too much, but some people can overcome it, and some people can't overcome it).

If they really dare to use large ships to transport troops along the route of the open sea, then in the process of transportation, they will have to reduce their personnel by at least one or two percent!

And what do they do with the bodies of these two adults? ”

"Isn't that easy?!" Charlotton

After hearing Li Zhi's words, he immediately waved his hand and said, "If a certain family is the general on that ship, he will immediately order someone to throw those dead soldiers into the sea!"

Anyway, there are countless marine fish in the sea, and it won't be long before these people will be eaten by the fish, how convenient. ”

"Hehe......" Li Zhi shook his head with a chuckle when he heard this, and said, "If they throw these people into the sea, will their morale be gone?"

The words "rabbit dead fox sorrow" are not just words!

If they really don't care about the life or death of the soldiers, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably drop greatly, and they may not have much combat power left at that time! ”

After Xia Houdun heard Li Zhi's words, he said: "Since it can't be thrown away, then put them on the boat, they won't take up much space anyway!" ”

"Hahaha......" After Li Zhi heard Xiahoudun's words, he laughed and said, "If they dare to put the bodies of those who are broken on the ship, it will be even better!"

The climate at sea is relatively mild, and now that the weather is getting warmer, it won't be long before those corpses will decompose!

And once they rot, there will be a plague! ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xiahou with a smile and asked, "Miaocai, you should have seen the power of the plague when you attacked Chang'an with Brother Meng De, right?"

Do you think the enemy can resist the plague? ”

"Hiss......" After Xia Houdun heard Li Zhi's words, he couldn't help but shudder.

As soon as he remembered the tragic situation of the plague at the beginning, Xiahoudun felt uncomfortable.

If it were possible, he would never want to face the plague again.

Xiahou Dun really didn't want to think of what happened at the beginning, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Since you can't keep it or throw it away, then just burn it to ashes!" ”

"Hehe......" Li Zhi chuckled when he heard this, shook his head and did not speak.

"......" After hearing Xiahoudun's words, the others also looked at him with idiotic eyes.

Xiahoudun is not a stupid person after all, after he saw everyone's eyes, he thought for a while, then scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile: "Hehe...... The sea is full of water, and there is nothing combustible on the ship, and if it is ignited, I am afraid that even the ship will burn, this method really does not work. ”

Although Xiahou Dun was deflated, Cao Cao was happy, and he laughed and said, "In this way, it is unlikely that the enemy will use a big ship to transport the army?" ”

"That's right" Li Zhi nodded affirmatively, and said, "Brother Meng De, just put your heart in your stomach."

Even if the enemy really foolishly uses ships to transport men and horses from the sea, they must suffer in the end! ”

"Good!" After Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, he asked Li Zhi again: "Brother Xingzhi, in addition to the fact that the generals of Xuzhou and Yuzhou have no shortage of offensive capabilities, do you have any other suggestions?" ”

"No" Li Zhi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Brother Meng De didn't miss it, but he wanted to invite himself to Luoyang."

After all, Zai Xia is very familiar with Luoyang, plus there are only 70,000 people to fight against the four or five hundred thousand people of the southern princes, the pressure is very high, and if you don't go to see it in person, Zai Xia is really not at ease. ”

"Even if you don't say it, my brother will let you go to Luoyang." After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Although on the surface, it seems that the battle of Liangzhou is the most critical point of this battle, but ......"
