Yu Sheng rushed back on the eighth day after Chen Mo arrived in Ganyu, this time Chen Mo came to the East China Sea, just to take a look at the East China Sea Fleet, although he had seen the 20 zhang long giant ships, but when he saw the fleet of more than 300 ships returning from the sea, it was another kind of shock, not much worse than the feeling of thousands of troops.

"The last general Yu Sheng, see the king, tired of the king for a long time, Yu Sheng is a big crime!" Yu Sheng had already learned the news of Chen Mo's coming over on the boat, and when they met at this time, the first thing they did was to ask for guilt.

"Lone didn't notify him in advance, what is Zisheng's crime?" Chen Mo stretched out his hand, helped Yu Sheng up and said with a smile: "You have been with me for many years, if I really sin you for this matter, what virtue do I have to sit on this throne?" ”

"Thank you, Lord." Yu Sheng saluted again.

"Come, tell me, what does this water war think? Do you have the confidence to win against that Koto Shuro? Chen Mo pulled Yu Sheng and returned to the barracks with Liu Yi, and asked with a smile.

"This ......," Yu Sheng hesitated.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Chen Mo smiled.

"Back to the king." Yu Sheng thought for a while and said: "This water war is more dependent on the climate, above the water surface, the waves are turbulent, and there are thousands of changes, exhausting the energy of the last general, and understanding this water war is just in case, that Jiangdong Zhou Yu, immersed in this way for 20 years, the lord's water war strategy is naturally profound, but if you want to change in the middle of the poor, I am afraid that the poor general may not be able to fully understand it in his life, and the last general really dare not say that he will win." ”

Chen Mo smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, now is not the time to fight against Jiangdong, we still have time, this navy can also continue to train, I have written to the Liaodong Gongsun clan, and the coastal counties have sent fishermen who are good at water to train the navy, and now the navy has begun to take shape, and the development will be faster in the future, I plan to grow the navy to 100,000 people, then you can start a war with Jiangdong, what you have to do now is to train the navy well." ”

"The king ......" Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Mo and said: "The last general feels that he is really not a talent in water warfare, so as not to make mistakes, please ask the king to choose the virtuous again, so as not to delay the military aircraft and tire the soldiers to die in vain." ”

"Do you know, I asked Xu Huang and Zhang He before." Chen Mo shook his head, looked at Yu Sheng and said with a smile: "They all recommended you to me!" ”

Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Yu Ban have all tried water warfare, Yu Ban belongs to the new generals, and recommended all three of them, this can't be taken seriously, it can only be said that Yu Ban will be a person, but Zhang He and Xu Huang are jointly pushing Yu Sheng, this is not because Yu Sheng has been under Chen Mo for the longest time, this matter is related to the destruction of Jiangdong in the future, who can be selected, in the future, it may be the main force of the water army, and the credit is also the greatest, Zhang He and Xu Huang are all capable people, if there is really this opportunity, the two of them will not shirk, although the main general of the water army has not yet been decided, but from the current point of view, Yu Sheng is clearly the most suitable.

"Lord, this ......" Yu Sheng was a little embarrassed, this water battle is different from land war, if you are fighting on land, give him time and enough troops, he can prevent a drop of water, but there are too many uncertainties in this water war.

"Do you know if we start a war with Koto, how can we win?" Chen Mo probably knows Yu Sheng's character, without more than eighty percent of the chance of winning, Yu Sheng will feel uncertain, but eighty percent of the odds of winning are rare in ancient and modern times, which is why Yu Sheng has always given people a feeling that he can only defend and not attack, and he is a little too cautious.

Yu Sheng thought about it carefully and said, "Destroy the Jiangdong Water Army!" ”

"It's also ......" Chen Mo was stunned, shook his head and said: "But there is no need to be so thorough, after all, in the water war, our army is not dominant, but our national strength is ten times better than Jiangdong, even if the two naval armies are wiped out, we will win, take a step back and say, as long as we are not defeated, we will win." ”

This is not Chen Mo talking big, really fighting with Jiangdong, as long as Chen Mo does not lose and fights for consumption, then Chen Mo will win, in this regard, any prince can not consume Chen Mo, not to mention that Jiangdong is just a powerful water army, as long as Chen Mo is given a chance to cross the river, then Jiangdong will be completely out of cards.

"It's just that if you don't lose, the end will be a little certain." Yu Sheng nodded.

"After all, Jiangdong has been dominating the Yangtze River for many years, we can be undefeated, it is good, among the generals, you are the most suitable." Chen Mo smiled: "Besides, Zisheng, what do you think of Bo Yuan?" ”

Yu Sheng glanced at Liu Yi inexplicably, nodded and said, "Bo Yuan's craftsmanship is good. ”

"I mean he was a naval general or a general." Chen Mo smiled.

Yu Sheng didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said: "It's quite appropriate for the king to say this, the king doesn't know that many training methods of the East China Sea Army, as well as the art of water warfare, were all suggested by Bo Yuan. ”

"Okay." Chen Mo was affirmed by Yu Sheng, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Liu Yi listens to the order!" ”

"The minister is here!" Liu Yi hurriedly got up and said.

"I ordered you to be the deputy general and military division of the leading water army, under the command of Yu Sheng, I agreed to the matter of Sanhan mentioned before, I don't care how to fight me, just regard this place as a place to hone the water army, and prepare for the war with Jiangdong in the future, what do you two think?" Chen Mo looked at the two and asked.

"The last general commands!" The two of them got up at the same time and bowed down to receive the order.

"Also, it's okay to have one of these giant ships, it's useless for the time being, the ten-zhang big ship that Zisheng took before can do more, and you are like the army, in addition to the main force, there are scouts, rangers, sentinels, and first boarders to cooperate with each other, I feel that this water war should also be as clear as possible, and these need to be discussed by the two of you on your own How to cooperate." Chen Mo looked at the two of them and smiled.

Water warfare is not just about whose ship is big, the cooperation between ships, the big ship has the role of a big ship, and the role of a small boat cannot be ignored, in this regard, Liu Yi is obviously better than Chen Mo.

"Whoa!" The two of them agreed in unison.

"The establishment of the navy is estimated to be 100,000, and the generals will not be sent separately, from the soldiers who crusade against the three Hans and the water invaders, select meritorious soldiers for promotion, and the list needs to be reported to the imperial court. Chen Mo discussed the detailed regulations with the two, this naval army is different from the army, Chen Mo has no other military divisions, at most a scribe in charge of logistics and food.

Compared with other armies, Chen Mo's control over the navy is more relaxed, after all, from the current perspective, no matter how strong the navy is, it must rely on the land, otherwise it is a rootless wanderer, as long as you hold the logistics, you basically can't make waves, so Chen Mo gave a lot of authority, if the role of the navy is more obvious with the passage of time in the future, Chen Mo will consider adding restrictions, but now, the navy is in a period of rapid expansion, so Chen Mo's constraints on the navy are very loose.

"Thank you, lord!" The two of them saluted.

"The best thank you is to show me the combat strength of the navy, this fight against Jiangdong will only take three or five years, don't let me down." Chen Mo said with a smile: "After defeating Sanhan, put this giant ship in Sanhan, and the shipbuilding will also be built in Sanhan, there are many strangers nearby recently, I am afraid that this place has been exposed." ”

"Whoa!" The two of them looked grim and bowed.

In the next few days, Chen Mo stayed here for a while, and after going to Yuzhou Mountain, he left the East China Sea with everyone and headed towards Xiaqiu.

When I came to Xiaqiu again, the Zhang family was still in Xiaqiu, but life was obviously much better, with Chen Mo's greeting, Xiaqiu Ling naturally did not dare to slack off, many things, they secretly took care of their family, the former townsmen, but when they saw each other again, they were already gray, Chen's mother lived in her hometown for three days, and the sisters talked about the old for a long time, so they said goodbye one by one.

"Mother, I want to come back in the future, tell the child, the child will come back with you." Looking at his mother's red eyes, Chen Mo smiled and comforted.

"My son is now dealing with the affairs of the world, and he can't abolish the public for personal reasons." Mother Chen shook her head, sighed and said, "It's enough to see them live well, each family has its own affairs, how can you often gather in one place?" ”

Chen's mother didn't let Chen Mo bring the Zhang family to Luoyang, she knew very well that it would bring a lot of trouble to Chen Mo, human nature is greedy, now that she knows that Chen Mo is good friends with the county order, Zhang's will not be too much, but if you really know that Chen Mo is now in power, then what will happen then, no one can say clearly, it's good now, Zhang's family feels happy, Chen's mother is also happy, but further, it is a favor to Chen's mother, but it may not be a good thing for the Zhang family, and she doesn't want her son to be difficult to do, in comparison, it is naturally important to her son.

"It's good if my mother is happy." Chen Mo smiled.

"That's right." Mother Chen took Cai Yan's hand, looked at Chen Mo and said, "Since you have arrived in Huainan, why don't you stop by to see Zheng'er?" I haven't seen him for a long time, and I miss my grandson. ”

"yes, okay." Chen Mo glanced at Cai Yan and nodded, although his mother wanted to, but I'm afraid it was Cai Yan who wanted to think about it the most.

Cai Yan was a little embarrassed by Chen Mo, and lowered his head as if he didn't see it.

Woman~

Chen Mo shook his head and continued to chat with his mother about trivial matters.

Since Hefei was captured, Jiangdong lost the opportunity to gain a foothold on the north bank and retreated to Jiangdong, but the attack on Jiangbei has never stopped, since Chen Mo is coming, he naturally has to arrange it well, he wrote a letter to Han Qiong to understand the current situation in Jiujiang.

After Chen Jin arrived in Jiujiang, he moved the governance from Shouchun to Hefei to restore the people's livelihood, and at the same time, increased the reinforcement of Hefei, Sun Quan sent troops to attack several times, but Chen Jin blocked them, and at the same time Chen Jin also started a war in Tuntian from Shouchun to Hefei, in order to have enough troops to fight against Jiangdong at any time when Jiangdong came to attack.

In addition, beacons were set up everywhere, and Han Qiong formed a joint defense, no matter where there was something, they could support each other as soon as possible, and north of Hefei, people's livelihood gradually recovered, and Chen Jin's reputation in the Jiujiang area was really not low.
