貊, located west of Liaodong. It faces Liaodong across the mountains, and in the middle is the endless and innumerable mountains and rivers. Since Gongsun Du was sent by Yuan Shu to drive Zhang Liao out of Liaodong County, he has been recuperating here, waiting for an opportunity to attack Liaodong.

However, after Chen Gong, a master of strategic defense, came to Liaodong, he launched a series of strategic defense deployments. As soon as dozens of dock forts and three large cities were built between the mountains and rivers, Gongsun Du completely stopped cooking.

The airtight and interlocking defense made Gongsun Du have no chance of succeeding in sending troops. No matter where you attack, you will have to face several fortified bunkers. Moreover, the opponent's defense system is extremely three-dimensional, once his traces are discovered, they will quickly respond to it and encircle and intercept it.

The restless Gongsun Du sent elite troops to sneak attack and test several times, wanting to test the reality of Liaodong or wait for an opportunity to harass. But the result was that none of them succeeded, and there were small and half of them directly annihilated, and many others were damaged.

Although Chen Gong is Chi Zhi, he is definitely the top in the world when it comes to strategic deduction and layout, and under the condition that Yuan Shu is allowed to squander manpower and material resources under his command, he has built Liaodong like an iron bucket, and its defensive deployment in all aspects is not flawless. Especially against the left and right flanks of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du has no good commanders and good strategies, and there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they are not elite, so there is no possibility of breaking the defense. Not even a single Wu fort could be attacked.

After that, Gongsun Du was considered to have accepted his fate. Temporarily gave up the idea of attacking Liaodong, and instead devoted himself to developing his power, attacking Sanhan, and gathering momentum to wait for the opportunity.

I have to say that although Gongsun Du's ability does not seem to be good, it does not live up to the surname Gongsun, although he has always been beaten in domestic battles, but like Gongsun Zhan, he is as fierce as a lion and tiger against foreign clans. It seems that the countries around Liaodong, such as Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Qi, were easily defeated by it and surrendered one after another, and even Wuhuan was afraid of it. In Liaodong, it is a well-known king of Liaodong.

Although Zhang Liao was driven out of Liaodong with the remnants of his army like a defeated dog, Gongsun Du easily captured Cheng and developed based on it, and even waited for an opportunity to prepare to capture Sanhan to strengthen his power.

However, after Yuan Shu defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei one after another, and finally defeated Yuan Shao and unified the Han land, Gongsun Du was helpless. After being defeated by Yuan Shu, he also understood what his strength was.

In Liaodong, facing the countries of Buyeo and Goguryeo, he was invincible. But among the Han warlords, he is indeed not the only one. The princes of any way to him are afraid that they will be able to beat him, after all, he can only occupy the land of two counties, the population is only hundreds of thousands, and the soldiers and horses are only tens of thousands. Moreover, the combat power of a single soldier, after fighting with Zhang Liao again, he no longer dared to call himself an elite.

Decisively gave up other thoughts, Gongsun Du was confined to the Korean Peninsula, no longer ready to involve the Han Dynasty, and wanted to return to his old business here and become a soil emperor.

Because of the vendetta with Da Chu, Gongsun Du behaved very low-key. During this period of time, he has been keeping to himself, and he didn't dare to cross the line at all, as if he hoped that Da Chu would forget about him.

However, will Yuan Shu be as he thinks?

"It will take at least three months to rearmament, plan the layout, and weigh the officials, and hold a ceremony. Before the ceremony, let's do something to celebrate. Yuan Shu had nothing to do, glanced at the map twice, and said lightly.

"Your Majesty plans to do something to Gongsun Du and Sanhan?" Jia Xu was not surprised.

"The northern grasslands have been taken, the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan are all submissive, and the others should also be solved by the way. Ding Ling is too far away and the environment is too harsh, so I will leave it alone. Buyeo and Goguryeo were also taken down by Bofu and them in these years. Now that's all left on the map. Looking at the vacant peninsula in the southeast of the map, Yuan Shu said lightly.

"Gongsun Du and Sanhan are not strong, and tens of thousands of troops can take it. However, the Korean Peninsula is full of mountains, forests, swamps, and rivers, and because of the decline of these small countries' national strength and backward production, the roads are extremely inconvenient. ”

"By land, naturally. However, if the army is drawn along the waterway and river, the time required will be greatly reduced. ”

"It seems that Your Majesty has already had an idea." Jia Xu said lightly.

"I have a certain amount of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I feel uncomfortable when I see such a gap in the territory of Da Churuo."

"Then who is Your Majesty going to send? Gan Xingba? ”

"Wenhe, don't say it." The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth twitched slightly.

"Your Majesty really cares about Xingba." Jia Xu smiled slightly.

"In the navy, those who can take charge alone, except for Gong Jin, are currently the only ones. Although Gongyi and De are capable, they have their own flaws and are difficult to be handsome. Gong Jin's position is not suitable to be limited to the navy, so I can only launch Xingba to take on this role. Yuan Shu sighed lightly.

Since the unification of the world, Yuan Shu changed all the naval forces to the navy. As one of the four empires, Da Chu's army is second to none, but the navy is still a short board. Although it has been vigorously developing in the past ten years, it is still secluded behind Kushan.

This is also a common problem in ancient China, which was obsessed with the land, attaching importance to the army, and there were very few good generals in the navy. Even Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's generation are only good at water warfare rather than naval warfare, and the only naval generals that the entire Great Chu can take action against are Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, and Cai Mao.

"My army is invincible in the world, so there is no need to worry, but the navy is still lacking. Although there are hundreds of thousands of naval officers and soldiers, and there are countless good ships and ships, there is a lack of generals who are good at naval warfare. ”

"The four generals under General Wentai, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao all have the talent to command the navy, and it is not a problem to command the navy with a little training. His Majesty's righteous sons, Lu Xun, and Lu Meng, have shown amazing talents, and they will be good commanders of the navy in the future. In addition, there are generals such as Yu Ban, Ling Tong, and Ding Feng, who also seem to have a long water war and can also be cultivated. Jia Xu thought for a while.

He naturally understood Yuan Shu's thoughts. There is no shortage of army generals in Dachu, and it can even be said that there are too many good generals in the army, so that hundreds of thousands of troops are not enough. There is no way, there are many generals and countless small generals, and it seems that the level of the twelve tiger ministers of Eastern Wu can only command 10,000 troops, which is indeed overkill.

And the navy, three or four hundred thousand non-commissioned officers. There are only a few admirals in Qu Index, and even if Cheng Huang and Han Zu are added, they can't make up the number of ten fingers. The difference in proportions is really too great.

Yuan Shuzhi is in the world, and the importance of the navy will become more and more prominent in the future, even comparable to the army, so it is natural to adjust the admirals.

"Previously, Xingba was demoted and moved to the left because of his mistakes, and now it's time to give him a chance to restore him to the position of the general of the town army. Otherwise, above the four generals, the three generals belong to the army, which is not good for the navy. The status of the navy must be raised, and the generals of the four expeditions and the four towns must also have the name of the navy. Yuan Shu said.

"Oh?" Jia Xu's eyes flashed: "It seems that Xu wants to congratulate Gongjin and De them." ”
