The army returned to Shouchun, and several warships were also heading north on the waterway.

Originally, Cao Shuo planned to let Cai Mao lead a naval army into the Yellow River, but before leaving, he changed his mind and ordered Cai Mao to lead the naval army to the port of Xia Cai Huaishui.

Xia Cai was not far from Shouchun, and the navy was stationed here, so it was easier for Cao Shuo to supervise and control.

The waterway is always better than the overland route.

Although it was against the current, Cai Mao still arrived a few days earlier than Cao Shuo.

On the shore of the port, groups of Cao troops lined up in formation, beware of this navy that looked familiar but was very different from the original.

Cai Mao, who originally planned to dock, was also ordered not to land.

The navy led by Cai Mao could only wait for Cao Shuo's order on the boat.

Cao Shuo led the army, and seeing that it was almost Shouchun, he rode a fast horse head-on.

The knight on horseback came to him, clasped his fists and said to Cao Shuo: "Qiyu Gongzi, there is a naval army in Huaishui, saying that it is under the command of Gongzi, but our army has not seen it. General Ji Ling led his soldiers and horses to stop them on the waterway for a few days, and they did not leave for a long time. ”

Listening to the soldiers' words, Cao Shuo smiled and said to Sima Yi and the others: "It should be Cai Mao who came to Huaishui, you lead the army into the city first, and I will take my uncle over to have a look." ”

Everyone responded one after another, leading the troops to Shouchun, while Cao Shuo took Chen Zhi and more than a dozen guards and rode his horse to the bank of Huaishui.

Although Huaishui is the boundary between north and south, it is only a river after all, and it is indeed much smaller than the Yangtze River.

Several warships docked on the shore of Huaishui.

None of the people on the boat have come down.

Ji Ling led a group of soldiers to block the intersection where the sailors on the boat landed.

"Childe is here!" The soldiers who led the way for Cao Shuo and the others stepped forward and shouted to Ji Ling and the soldiers under his command.

Ji Ling turned around in disbelief, he didn't get the news of Cao Shuo's return.

However, after turning his head, he really saw Cao Shuo walking this way.

hurriedly greeted him and gave a big salute to Cao Shuo, Ji Ling said, "I've seen Gongzi." ”

"General Ji." Cao Shuo asked, "What's going on?" ”

"There is a water army that suddenly appeared in Huaishui." Ji Ling said: "They planned to land at Xia Cai Ferry, but because they didn't know their identity, they were stopped by us on the boat. ”

"Please, their lord will disembark first." Cao Shuo commanded.

Ji Ling answered, and instructed a soldier: "Please ask the commander of the navy to go ashore first." ”

The soldiers retreated.

After being blocked on the boat for several days, Cai Mao was already full of anger but didn't know where to vent.

was sitting in the cabin and bored, a sailor came to the cabin door: "General Qiyu, the son is here, please go and meet the general." ”

Hearing that Cao Shuo was coming, Cai Mao hurriedly rushed out of the cabin.

He turned his head to the soldier and asked, "Childe is here?" ”

"Here we are." The soldier replied, "Just wait on the shore." ”

Cai Mao didn't have to delay for a while, so she hurriedly rushed out and got off the boat quickly.

Cao Jun, who had stopped him before, did not step forward again, but gave him a way.

Running in front of Cao Shuo, Cai Mao bowed down and made a big salute: "I've seen Gongzi." ”

"General Cai." Cao Shuo asked: "When you came to Xia Cai, why didn't you say that I asked you to come here to build a water village?" ”

"Returning to the childe." Cai Mao looked at Ji Ling with a bitter face and said, "I said it, but this general, he doesn't believe it." ”

"This is General Ji." Cao Shuo said: "No wonder he doesn't believe it, in fact, he blames me, if I write you a warrant, things won't be like this." ”

"I led the troops too early, how could it be Childe's fault." Cai Mao hurriedly replied: "General Ji is also doing this for the sake of local stability, which is also true." ”

"It's rare for General Cai to be generous." Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and instructed Ji Ling: "General Ji, I will leave it to you to build a camp for the navy army on the bank of Huaishui." Find a better river beach for the water army, mobilize more people, and build the water village as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Ji Ling responded.

Cao Shuo instructed Cai Mao again: "Let the soldiers go ashore first, and before the water village is built, the soldiers will be stationed in the nearest military camp." ”

"Childe." Cai Mao said: "Most of the sailors recruited in Jingzhou stayed in the Yangtze River, and there were not many people who came to Huaishui with me, can you ......?"

"Recruit a trolls, of course." Cao Shuo said: "I will instruct the craftsman workshop to build a warship for you." It will also make people recruit sailors and select the right people to send here. But before that, the most important thing is that the water village is built, and there is not even a decent water village, where will the water army be recruited? ”

"That's what Childe said." Cai Mao responded.

"If you have something to do with Shouchun, you can go to the Shouchun official mansion when I am not there and ask them to help solve the problems that need to be solved." Cao Shuo explained Cai Mao, and then instructed Chen Zhi: "Let's go." ”

Cao Shuo rode away, bowed down to see his back, and it was not until he walked away that Ji Ling said to Cai Mao: "General Cai, I offended before. ”

"General Ji is also for the sake of local stability, so he will stop us and others." Cai Mao said: "There is really no need to apologize. After that, the establishment of a naval army still needs more help from General Ji. ”

"Well said!" Ji Ling replied: "I will accompany General Cai to choose a place to build a water village, and then let people go to various villages to recruit people." ”

"Do you want us to help recruit people?" Cai Mao said: "It's not easy to catch people and do things after all. ”

"Arrest?" Ji Ling asked in surprise, "Why do you want to arrest people?" ”

"It's never been easy to recruit people." Cai Mao said: "If you don't arrest all the strong people in the village, how can they be willing to ......?"

Ji Ling grinned and said to Cai Mao: "What General Cai said is also right, but now there is no need to arrest people under Gongzi's rule, as long as you send people to go to various villages, it won't take a few days, and the people who built the water village will arrive." ”

"Under the rule of Childe, it is so easy to recruit people's husbands?" Cai Mao looked at Ji Ling in disbelief.

"General Cai has just arrived, and many things are still unclear." Ji Ling said: "It's better not to act rashly if there is anything, it's better to discuss it with us first, and then do it." Otherwise, many things that were originally unnecessary would also be complicated by the general. ”

"I see." Cai Mao sighed in her heart.

Recruiting people has always been a headache, but I didn't expect that under Cao Shuo's rule, it could be easily done.

Puzzled in his heart, Cai Mao asked Ji Ling: "General Ji, it has always been very difficult to recruit people, why is it so easy for Gongzi to rule?" ”

"Childe never forcibly recruits people." Ji Ling said: "Working for Gongzi, the daily income is more than their business income, not only is it easy to recruit, we can also choose the stronger ones." There are many differences between this place and other places, and General Cai will slowly learn about it. 2k reading network
