Chapter 968: Half-Sail

Liu Bei's adviser Zhuge Liang in order to deal with his fellow Feng Xiao Pang Tong's initiative to attack and take advantage of a leaf boat to come to Changsha to borrow Sun Ce's advantage, in the negotiation with the governor Zhou Yu put forward an extremely bold strategy, using the opportunity of the Yangzhou army to cross the river to lure the Ganning Flying Tiger Army to attack, then Yangzhou Jingnan two naval armies can attack it together, if the Yan army's water battle ace can be annihilated on the river or give it a very heavy blow, then no matter what the situation of the war between Liu Cao is, The two families of Sun and Liu, who have the Yangtze River antenna, can fight for a longer development time for themselves. Under the pressure of the Yan army, Kong Ming can still have such a bold strategic response, and his vision and courage should be the choice of the moment, and Liu Bei has shown extraordinary courage when he delegates power and he also shows extraordinary courage!

Later generations mentioned that Zhuge Kongming, in addition to praising his wisdom and integrity, the most common sentence is "Zhuge is only cautious in his life", but with his current design, the courage and heroism of the concept are no less than Guo Fengxiao, who ran to the wolf that day, and even has to go over! It has the momentum of "taking the head of a general in a million army". But careful analysis has to admit that his vision is accurate, the essence of the Flying Tiger Army is known to the world, compared to the scale of the rest of the Yan Army, he does seem a little thin in terms of numbers, which cannot be attributed to Liu Yi's lack of attention to this, the fact is the opposite, and Xingba cannot be allowed to bear this responsibility, the biggest reason is still the difference between the north and the south, and it is very difficult to find qualified sailor soldiers.

If they fight with the Yan army on land, they will definitely fall at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, and this is probably not counting the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, and the combat effectiveness they can form will exceed the eight main forces at some point! But on top of the naval army, the two of them combined at least in terms of scale to defeat Xingba's Flying Tiger Army, even if the factor of the warship is taken into account, they also have the strength to defeat and defeat it, naturally who wins and who loses is still too early to say, but it is enough to prove that Kong Ming's strategic concept is feasible, and then it will be more than the unified army of the two sides.

With my strengths in attacking the enemy, here Zhou Gongjin and Zhuge Liang coincide, and compared to Yangzhou and Jingnan Water Army Flying Tiger Army there is a weakness that cannot be ignored, in addition to Gan Ning, there are too few people in the army who can be called generals on the water, and the deputy commander Xuanlang is barely one, and the rest is probably Zhang Rong. It is considerable that the other party, Xu Sheng, Zhang Yun, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Cheng Pu and others are all generals who can take charge of themselves, and the huge role they can play in the war should not be underestimated, and this is also a pity in Liu Yi's heart. After he came to this world, he only galloped in the north, and he had never seen the Yangtze River, how could he summon such a large number of naval talents?

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu Lu Su had a deep conversation from dusk to the dawn of the second day, and the three of them came out of the inner hall when they were in good spirits and did not show any tiredness, and soon the little overlord Sun Ce returned from hunting outside the city, and personally met with Yangzhou to make Zhuge Kongming, and it was a whole afternoon with dinner until late at night, everyone dispersed, and the surrounding guards were extremely strict when they discussed, and few people could know what they discussed, and after a day of rest in the post house, Kong Ming said goodbye to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and returned to Yangzhou under the escort of the Jingnan Navy warships.

When Kong Ming left Changsha, it was the day when the Ganning Flying Tiger Army arrived at Jiangkou, and the spies that Xu Sheng arranged to hide here had already discovered the traces of the enemy army, and Xingba also found out some of the reality of the Yangzhou Navy from the other party. It was expected that the traces were discovered by the enemy, Gan Ning did not take this seriously, and ordered the whole army to continue to approach the Jianye place in the upper reaches of the river, where there would be Xu Huanglong's infantry soldiers to build a naval camp for it, and during the voyage, the Flying Tiger Army had already put on a battle formation, and the seven fleets with the "Aolong" ship as the core were connected end to end for dozens of miles, and the queue was majestic and majestic! And the reason why it is only half-sail Xingba is not willing to speed too fast, from now on there are still two or three days of voyage to Jianye, so that the navy is familiar with the flow of the river!

At the end of the month, the sky is just a half-curved moon, but tonight's cloudless moonlight is extremely bright, the sparkling reflection of the rolling eastward river, if it is not for the weather at this time is still very cold and turbulent, how happy should it be to boil a pot of good wine and laugh about ancient and modern things on the boat? If it is still Cao Cao's poems, it is impossible to say, and a few masterpieces will come out! The river is rolling forward with waves and flowers, and the moonlight is the stars, and Su Dongpo's sentence "rolling up a thousand piles of snow" should be the image! Such waves can make it difficult for ordinary fishing boats in the river to raft on them, and forced actions may cause them to capsize, but by no means include the warships of the Flying Tigers, especially the "Proud Dragon" giant ship used as a flagship.

Among the naval warships, the "Sea Dragon" and "Aolong" are specially built for sea navigation, with excellent wind and wave resistance, and most of the navigation in the sea is extremely stable, not to mention on this big river! Especially in the "Aolong" ship, you can hardly even feel the ups and downs of the river, this is not only the huge hull can be done, the condensed appliances have no effort to this ship and even use the Momen mechanism of the technique, its biggest role is through the exquisite design of the keel to play the effect of earthquake resistance, at that time Liu Yi also heard the explanation, but the art industry has a specialization, these exquisite designs make him breathtaking, in the current words this is a set of shock absorption system!

In the middle of the night, the lights in a small room on the top floor of the flagship were still not extinguished, this was Xingba's resting place, he was holding a book and looking under the lamp, but it was spring and autumn when he was approaching! Liu Yi ordered the generals of the whole army to write a group of books when the whole army was organized, of course, this group of books has a range, like Sun Tzu's Art of War, Spring and Autumn, and the Analects are the main ones, and for this instrument also specially prepared a batch of the most well-made books for the generals at that time, and the Spring and Autumn Period in Gan Ning's hand is from their hands, and the handwriting on it is clear and orderly, and it is effortless to watch!

As the most prestigious general in the Yan army and the sworn brother of the king of Yan, Xingba's proposal to the eldest brother is naturally strongly supported, and even gave a death order for this, the general of the Sima level in the Flying Tiger Army must memorize the art of war of Sun Tzu, and the second general will spot check at any time. And of course, he himself has to lead by example, and another important reason is the strict supervision of his beloved wife Wang Xinran.

This time the Flying Tiger Army came to the Yangtze River waterway, and the Poison King intended to come with the army, which did not violate military law, because she was the only woman who was specially allowed by King Yan to go on the expedition with her husband, not to mention Feng Ruoxi and others, no one would ask Liu Yi for this, Zhang Hu Jia Xu and others were extremely supportive! In Yandi, King Xinran's reputation is by no means under Princess Yan Cai Yan, and the wife of the second general in the Flying Tiger Army has a very high prestige! But before he came, there was an accident, this accident was not a bad thing, and the poison king was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the second general again. At this time, Gan Ning's eldest son Gan Ping was already more than two years old, and his sister was Xingba's lingering pain in the unbearable past, and he wanted to give birth to a daughter to make up for this shortcoming.

"Knock knock!" The slight sound of slamming the door interrupted Gan Ning's study, and from the rhythm of the knocking sound, he could know that it must be the dark three standing outside the door, at first he and his brother generally felt that they should not waste too much manpower to come to protect with their own skills, but after being familiar with this dark three, they had to sincerely admire Liu Yun's vision and techniques. Dark Three is proficient in almost all the tricks on the rivers and lakes, and his keen perception is far beyond others, he can even remember the names and order of hundreds of books in Gan Ning's study, including the slight changes in the interior furnishings and other things, he can immediately point out, but this meticulous observation and extraordinary memory are admirable.

"Ziyue has arrived?" Putting down the books in his hand, Xingba got up and came to the door and asked at the same time, this late night Dark San's visit must be that what he explained has been completed.

"Right at the door." "Zi Yue has seen the second general!" Dark San's voice sounded, Gan Ning opened the door, and a middle-aged man about forty years old who was not striking in appearance bowed to him, and Zi Yue at this time looked like an ordinary market vendor, but his eyes flashed with brilliance.

"Well, this method of disguise is indeed exquisite, and it is worthy of Madame's painstaking efforts." A sincere smile appeared on Xingba's face, he grabbed Ziyue's right arm and almost dragged it into the room, not to show his true face is Liu Yun's request to the core of Tian'er, but Ziyue's original appearance Gan Ning has seen it a long time ago, and the two had an extremely pleasant cooperation when they were in Jizhou, and the ability and efficiency of the white axe Ziyue have left a deep impression on Gan Ning, which is more of a sense of appreciation. The words of both sides are speculative again, so Gan Ning is quite affectionate!

"What the second general said is that Mrs. is indeed a miraculous skill here, compared with the techniques she taught, we didn't dare to take out the previous set to meet people, Ziyue has never been convinced of women in her heart, but Madame is not among them!" In order to further strengthen the strength of Tian'er, Wang Xinran once helped Liu Yun to teach his talents, whether it is to use poison, disguise, or use medicine, the attainments of the king of poison are the top people in Tian'er who have the heart of the mountain, and the level of these aspects has also made great progress since then, and the respect on Mrs. Ziyue's face is beyond sincerity.

"Of course, huh? Have you fought against Dark Three? Gan Ning Ziyue narrated in the room, the dark three did not say much, slowly closed the door and waited at the door, when he went out, Ziyue's eyes shifted, Xingba just noticed it halfway through, and asked with interest at the moment.
