Chapter 618: Forming a Water Division

Listening to what his lord said, the civil and military forces of Liangzhou naturally knew that his lord wanted to bring the power of victory...... It's time to go south to Jingxiang!

That's right, now, Yuan Benchu in Jizhou and Cao Mengde in Yanzhou are all seriously injured; Liu Xuande in Qingzhou is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to threaten the Liangzhou army; Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is also allied with the Liangzhou army; The Yuan Highway in Huainan and the rabble in Yangzhou can all be decided by a war; Sun Ce's Jingnan Army and Liu Yan's Yizhou Army wanted to attack the Liangzhou Army, but they could only have more than enough strength and not enough strength!

At least, judging from external factors, the time is ripe for the army to go south to Jingxiang. When the Liangzhou army moves south, there is no need to worry about the Jizhou army and the Yanzhou army...... Constrained behind your back!

"Lord!"

Dian Wei thought about it for a while, and seemed to have an idea in his heart, his face was full of fighting spirit, his face was excited, and he was angry, and immediately, with a rough voice, he said loudly: "I want Dian Wei to say...... Our army only needs to prepare ten days in advance, and then it can move south to Jingxiang. When the time comes...... Liu Biao'er saw my Liangzhou army, and he couldn't ...... Kaesong surrenders and surrenders! When the army marched south to Jingzhou, Dian Wei was willing to be the vanguard of the army! ”

As soon as Dian Wei's words fell, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, and Xu Shu all shook their heads with a smile. Li Mu also smiled but didn't say anything!

"Big brother! The ancients often said that northerners ride horses and southerners take boats, which should be true! The field arms of our army are mainly infantry and cavalry, and when we go south to Jingxiang, we will inevitably use the navy! ”

"But...... From the current point of view, the naval army under the command of the eldest brother can participate in the battle...... Not only are there very few, but most of them are responsible for transporting strategic materials such as grain, grass, ordnance, etc., and have never participated in a decent water war! ”

"The cloud thinks ...... When to go south to Jingxiang...... Not yet mature! The most urgent task for our army at the moment is to first organize and train a naval force. When our army's navy has the strength to fight, it can cross the Yangtze River (Yangtze River) to the south...... Break Liu Biao's Jingzhou army first, and then destroy Sun Ce's thief's Jingnan army! ”

"Please think carefully, big brother!"

After another half an hour, Zhao Yun seemed to have a plan in his heart, and immediately stood up, bowed in the direction of his brother-in-law, and said with a solemn face.

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Li Mu was overjoyed, but it was not obvious on his face.

Li Mu's heart was full of gratification and secretly said: Over the years, every time there is a battle, the second brother is either the sole leader of the army, or he is responsible for guarding the central position of the Liangzhou army.

Though...... The opportunities for the second brother to fight in the Quartet became less and less; However, the second brother's strategic and tactical vision has really improved a lot.

Today's Changshan Zhao Zilong, who can attack the city and defend the side when he retreats, has become a veritable number one general under his Li Mu, and he has already had the shadow of a famous general in the past. In time, his second brother Zhao Yun, Li Mu's sworn brother, will definitely be famous in the world!

"What the second brother said is true!"

Li Mu nodded with a happy expression, raised his hand to signal Zhao Yun to sit down, and immediately, he looked around at the civil and military forces again, and asked loudly: "What Zilong said is indeed insightful, but there is still ...... Different insights? ”

"My lord! What Zilong said is very true! Unanimously seconded! ”

"Look at the whole world...... When it comes to land battles, the armies of any prince are no match for our army; The cavalry of the alien race outside the Cyprus is no match for our army! But...... When it comes to water battles, the naval army under the command of the lord is ...... There is not much combat power yet! ”

"If there are no big rivers and water barriers, within a year, the southern states can be quickly leveled. But...... The armies of Liu Biao and Sun Ce in Jingnan in Jingzhou were mainly naval forces, and their army's water warfare capabilities were stronger than those under the command of the lord. ”

"Hence ...... If there is no strong water army as support, even if it is ...... can defeat the Jingzhou Army and the Jingnan Army, but I am afraid that it will be ...... Not to mention the time it takes, our army will also suffer heavy losses! ”

"Earlier, Kong Ming said that if you want to capture Yizhou, you must divide your troops into two ways...... First, go south from Hanzhong County; Second, from Jingzhou to the river. Thus...... It is extremely necessary to form and train a strong water army! ”

Before Zhao Yun's words fell, Pang Tong already had the same decision in his heart. When Zhao Yun's voice landed, Pang Tong did not hesitate at all, and immediately stood up and said with a salute.

/> Li Mu nodded, raised his hand to signal Pang Tong to sit down, and then, looking in the direction of Zhuge Liang, he asked, "What does Kong Ming think?" ”

"My lord! What Zilong and Shiyuan said is very good! ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said in a serious voice with a serious expression: "Right now, it is not too late for our army to form a naval army first, and then go south to Jingzhou!" The formation of a water army is urgent, and a decision can be made today! ”

"Good! What you say is exactly what I want! Our Liangzhou army must not only have strong infantry and cavalry soldiers, but also a strong naval army. ”

Li Mu made up his mind, and immediately, he said a few words in a loud voice with a smile on his face, and then, he looked in the direction of Zhang Ji again, and asked in a loud voice: "De Rong!" Ignorance...... How many soldiers and horses can be raised from Nanyang County, Yingxi, Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, northern Yanmen and other places? ”

"Lord!"

Zhang Ji shook his head, and immediately told the information he had in his possession, "According to the latest household register, Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, and the northern part of Yanmen can recruit up to 40,000 soldiers; Nanyang County and Yingxi can recruit up to 40,000 soldiers; Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong counties can recruit up to 50,000 soldiers! ”

"Gong Yan!"

Li Mu was overjoyed, nodded, looked in Jiang Wan's direction again, and asked loudly: "If we recruit 130,000 soldiers, our army's finances may be able to afford it?" Can the people still bear it? ”

"Don't worry, lord!"

Jiang Wan already had a fixed number in his heart, and immediately replied with a solemn face: "Recruiting 130,000 soldiers will not affect the normal cultivation of the people, nor will it cause a burden on our army's finances!" ”

"Good!"

"Except...... The 40,000 people in Nanyang County and Yingxi were all assigned to the water division, and then 10,000 people were transferred from the eight major army corps to the water division. The remaining 90,000 people were organized into the Eight Legions! ”

"From now on, we will build a naval base on top of the water, water, Danshui, Lishui, and Bishui in Nanyang County. After the recruitment is over, start training the sailors! ”

"Chen Dao, the commander of the former legion, is temporarily appointed as the governor of the water division, and Zhang is the deputy governor of the water division! I hope that the two of you, with one heart and one mind, work together to create a ...... for our army An invincible and invincible sailor! ”

Li Mu was overjoyed, and immediately stood up, looked around at everyone, and said in a solemn voice.

Compared with Chen Zhi's joy, Zhang was even more overjoyed, the two quickly got up, gave a salute, and reached the ground on one knee, and said solemnly: "Chen Zhi and Zhang will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

All the civil and military nods and praises good!

Li Mu also nodded with satisfaction.
