"Small boats, small boats, they use big ships that can sail long distances, go get me some big boats, I want big boats." Ji Ling almost roared.

In the last ten days, he has been tossed and almost crazy.

Originally, as a general, he only needed to command the army to fight, but he didn't look like a commander at all recently, but a small soldier running all over the ground.

From north to south, he ran for more than ten days and worked hard for more than ten days, but there was no shadow of Ye Chen, and he repeatedly let him escape from under his eyelids.

In this way, how could Ji Ling not be crazy.

However, Ji Ling is not a fool, how can he not change at all after suffering so many losses.

So Ji Ling asked people to find the ship.

Yangzhou has rivers, big rivers, so how can there be no boats.

It's just that boats are just boats, boats used in the river.

Of course, there are big boats, but there is no way to get them for a while, because the person who controls the big ship is not something he can command casually, and he must use Yuan Shu to coordinate it, so that there will be a lag in time.

Ji Ling called the ship, of course, not to fight with Ye Chen and them, everyone knew that they couldn't fight.

He was just there for early warning.

The ships found Ye Chen's fleet, and then reported it in time, and then called the nearby army to come over and surround it, so that Ye Chen could be blocked.

It's just that the boat is slow and can't sail far, so it hasn't been in place for a long time.

"General, the big ships have also been mobilized, but the big ships are in the hands of the big families, I first came to Yangzhou, and the lord didn't dare to offend these big families, let alone listen to us." The adjutant general said aggrievedly.

Ji Ling is a general under Yuan Shu, of course he knows, but he is just mad.

The largest river in Yangzhou is the Yangtze River, and most of the big ships on the Yangtze River have now been controlled by Cai Mao of Jingzhou.

If Cai Mao doesn't give Yuan Shu face, doesn't give him a big boat, and Yuan Shu first comes to Yangzhou, what does he dare to do?

"Keep an eye on the sea, let the boats patrol the coast, and report as soon as you spot the fleet." In the end, Ji Ling had no choice but to arrange it like this.

In fact, such an arrangement has limited effect.

The range of the small boat is limited, and by the time the fleet is discovered, then Ye Chen's fleet must be very close.

Sometimes it will even be discovered by Ye Chen's fleet and then killed, even if it is not killed, it will only be half an hour in advance at most.

Half an hour in advance is sometimes useful, but most of the time it doesn't have much effect, because it doesn't allow reinforcements to arrive.

There was no news for two days, and this Ji Ling became anxious in his heart, not knowing what to do next.

At this time, Yuan Shu was also furious in his mansion.

"A group of rubbish, the enemy is only 3,000 people, I will give you 50,000 horses, and you have not even touched the shadow of others." Yuan Shu scolded at his group of courtiers.

"Lord, the Liaodong army is cunning, it comes and goes without a shadow, if you want to deal with the navy, you can only rely on the navy." A staff member came out and said.

"Nonsense, I also know that there is a need for a water army, the question is do we have a water army? Is there a troll? Yuan Shu scolded.

The navy is not something that can be established overnight, Yuan Shu has only been in Yangzhou for less than a year, and Yangzhou has not yet been completely clear, how can he have time to build a navy.

"Lord, the army in Liaodong is a naval army, although we have broken through more than ten county towns in the past ten days, we have lost very little, only lost some property, and the other party can't occupy an inch of our land, so we can ignore it completely." One of the staff members stood up again.

His words have also been recognized by a considerable number of people, no matter how powerful this naval army is, he can let people run to land to occupy the city, but can he hold it?

3,000 men and horses, even if you occupy the city, what is the use?

The property of the county has been transferred to a relatively inland city, and the other party can still rob it? When the time comes, you won't be able to run.

After hearing this, Yuan Shu looked at the other party with a gloomy face, and then said angrily: "Waste, don't I know this truth? Because of this, let Ye Chen wreak havoc in Yangzhou? Then where will my Yuan family's face go? We can't deal with a group of water thieves in Yangzhou, don't we want to make the whole world laugh. ”

Of course, Yuan Shu also knew that he didn't lose much, the loss of personnel was not much, hundreds of people before and after, and the property was more than 10 million, which was really a drizzle for a state.

The key is to let the enemy attack on his territory with impunity, how can this matter be backed down.

Even if the loss is not large, Yuan Shu will inevitably drive Ye Chen away.

In fact, in the past ten days, Yuan Shu has spent more troops than the loss of being plundered by the Ye family, so no matter how stupid Yuan Shu is, he knows that it will not lose much if he lets Ye Chen loot.

But this was not a reason to let Ye Chen loot casually.

"My lord, we have no experience in dealing with the navy at all, so we still need to establish a naval confrontation, otherwise the long coastline will not be able to prevent it even if 100,000 soldiers and horses are sprinkled." A staff member said.

"Build a water army, build a water army? Who knows how much it costs to build a naval army, and the maintenance and maintenance of large ships alone is several times more expensive than that of the army. ”

Yuan Shu is not stupid, he began to want to establish a naval army when he came to Yangzhou, because Yangzhou has the Yangtze River, how can he not be moved when he looks at the big ships coming and going on the Yangtze River.

The most important thing is that the big ships that travel to and from the Yangtze River are full of goods.

Yuan Shu wanted to establish a naval army, and at first he did not want to fight, but to collect taxes.

When he came to Yangzhou, his roots were not deep, so he wanted to share some benefits on the Yangtze River.

Without a water army, how could those big families pay taxes obediently.

But when Yuan Shu learned about the cost of the navy, he gave up for the time being.

When he first came to Yangzhou, he had not yet received the support of most of the family, so he did not dare to act.

"The navy must be established, and Liaodong cannot be allowed to be so arrogant." Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and he said fiercely in his heart.

"A bunch of trash, you all go down." After discussing for a long time, there was no good idea, so Yuan Shu began to drive people away.

"Lord, my subordinates have an idea, it may not work in a short time, but it will definitely not make Ye Chen so arrogant in the future." When Yuan Shu was about to drive people out, a staff member came out and said.

Yuan Shu saw that it was his long history that spoke, and it was also his chief military advisor Yang Hong, so his face was a little better.

"Say."

"The late Sun Jian is the lord's subordinate, and now his son Sun Ce is in Jiangdong, and he also has a naval army in his hand, although the scale is not large, but as long as the lord goes to ask him over, and then expands it, it can be used, although it is not enough to fight against Ye Chen, but it can be warned half a day or a few hours in advance, which is enough for us to arrange, and then Ye Chen will not be able to come and go freely like this."

Yang Hong deliberately came out at the last moment to pay attention, just to ask Yuan Shu to pay attention to him.

Sure enough, Yuan Shu's face softened a lot after listening to Yang Hong's words, and then nodded and said, "Okay, immediately send someone to summon Sun Ce to Shouchun." ”
