The march was not described all the way, and finally arrived at Shu County, the place of Lujiang Zhisuo.

Taishou Liu Xun led dozens of people out of the city to greet each other, after a polite manner, it was a feast for the army to wash the dust, until late at night, after agreeing to discuss the military tomorrow, everyone went back to their homes to rest, and Yuan Yao temporarily lived in the county guard's mansion.

Early the next morning, Yuan Yao got up very early because of his excitement, this was the first time he officially presided over a military meeting, and ordered the guards not to wake up others, so he couldn't help but come to the county hall early to familiarize himself with the environment.

After a while, I heard a group of people shouting outside, each holding brocade silk wine and meat utensils, and Yuan Yao was stunned in front of the door when he saw the hall.

Yuan Yao was also inexplicably wonderful, he recognized that these people were the people of Liu Xun's mansion, and it was they who served the banquet yesterday, but he didn't understand what they were doing about it, and it seemed that they were going to have a big feast.

"What are you doing here?" Yuan Yao came out of the hall and asked in wonder.

The guard at the door came out and replied: "Lord Qiqi, these people said that they came to arrange the banquet on the orders of the Tai. ”

Yuan Yao suddenly said with a black line on his face when he heard this: "No need, you can just call Liu Fujun and go down." ”

"No." A bunch of people answered together and bowed back.

The county government belongs to the public court, and Taishou has his own private residence. However, it is said that Liu Xun has just been in office for half a year, and the mansion has not yet been repaired, so he also lives here temporarily. Yuan Yao didn't want to overwhelm the lord, so as soon as he came, he filled the mansion with his own personal guards, but he never wanted to let such a bunch of inexplicable people run in front of him.

Yuan Yao didn't wait for Liu Xun to come, but Liu Ye and Buqi arrived one after another, and then Zhang Xun and Sun Ce, and finally the county and the lieutenant of Lujiang County came, and Liu Xun had not yet arrived.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Liu Xun was in a mess, rushed into the lobby, and bowed to Yuan Yao: "The lower official is drunk and sleepy, and he has neglected the general, please forgive the general." ”

"It's a pinch......"

Yuan Yao was unhappy in his heart, but before the time came, he said, "Liu Fujun doesn't have to be polite, take a seat." ”

After Liu Xun took his seat, Yuan Yao said again: "Before, the people in your house said that they were ordered to come here to arrange the banquet, I don't know why?" ”

Liu Xun stepped forward and saluted: "The status of the general is noble, and the subordinate officer must naturally be well prepared. ”

"Not anymore." Yuan Yao didn't bother to bother with him anymore, so he said, "Liu Fujun will introduce the current situation of our army and Liu Xuanjun's confrontation." ”

"No."

Liu Xun thought for a while and said: "Now we have no stronghold south of the Yangtze River, so if we want to cross the river, we can only rely on the water army. However, it is a pity that the preparation time of our naval army is still short, and it has not yet formed a combat force. Before Lu Kang was too punctual in Lujiang, the navy was controlled by the Lu family, but when General Sun Cesun broke through the Lujiang River, he killed Lu Kang's family, and as a result, the navy ships and craftsmen were withdrawn to Jiangdong by other clansmen of the Lu family. Xia Guan had to order someone to go to Jiujiang County to recruit some craftsmen who could build warships, so that he could barely start shipbuilding. Today, there are more than 50 mature craftsmen, and some carpenters recruited to learn from them, it is barely possible to build two ships at the same time, but it takes two months to complete one. Today, our navy has eight ships, each of which usually carries 200 people and can carry up to 300 people, and there are hundreds of other fireships. As for some big ships such as fighting ships, we can't build them yet, so we have to recruit craftsmen and craftsmen. ”

Yuan Yao digested the information he had obtained and asked, "What is the situation of Liu Xuan's land and water armies?" ”

Liu Xun replied: "Liu Xun has been recruiting troops and horses to fight against our army, and not long ago, he reported that his army of land and water has exceeded 30,000, which is 10,000 more than the original soldiers and horses in Lujiang. Now that the general has brought another 10,000 people, I'm afraid Liu Miao will recruit more soldiers and horses. There are more than 10 fighting ships and more than 50 ships in the navy. Xia Guan estimated that the naval warships that the Lu family withdrew from the Lujiang River were likely to be stopped by Liu Xuan, and even the Lu family took the initiative to support him in order to take revenge, otherwise they would not have built so many ships so quickly. ”

Yuan Yao frowned when he heard that the gap between the warships of the two sides was so big, but Liu Xun didn't seem to intend to let him go, and continued: "Actually, the biggest enemy of our army on the water is not Liu Xuan, but Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. Jingzhou claims to have 100,000 naval forces alone, no less than 10 ships carrying thousands of people, dozens of fighting ships, and ......hundreds of ships."

Yuan Yao was startled, and without waiting for Liu Xun to finish speaking, he hurriedly asked, "Liu Biao?" Are we at war with Liu Biao? How did Jingzhou get involved? ”

Liu Xun replied: "Liu Biao is fighting with Liu Xuan for Yuzhang County, so I don't want us to cross the river again." The Jingzhou Navy has begun to cruise along the coast of Yuzhang, and every time our Navy sails, it is monitored and harassed by Liu Biao's Navy every time it sails. Therefore, if we want to cross the river, we must not only defeat Liu Xuan's army, but also be able to deter Liu Biao's army. With all due respect, the matter of attacking Jiangdong is unlikely to be possible in a short time. Unless the overlord is reincarnated, he will take a small number of soldiers and horses to smuggle across the river and fight against the water, or he can open up the situation, but there are many lookouts on the other side of the river, and the soldiers and horses are combined, and whether he can go over depends on luck. ”

“……”

"General, the last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to cross the river for a battle." At this moment, a loud voice appeared in the lobby.

Yuan Yao's heart tightened, and he didn't need to look at it to know who it was, and it was the person he was worried about in his heart. Yuan Yao's mind turned and hurriedly thought about the excuse, and hurriedly turned his head to stop the person who spoke out: "Bo Fu can't, my father treats you like a few things, and now entrusts you to me, how can I let you be in danger alone, this matter must not be." ”

“？？？？？” Sun Ce looked confused.

Sun Ce had already guessed that Yuan Yao was unlikely to let him lead his troops across the river, and this time he asked for his life was just a temptation, and he had already prepared a rhetorical interface, but the reason given by Yuan Yao was not within the scope of his prediction, so Sun Ce was stunned for a long time before he reluctantly spoke: "My mother and the last general's family are now under the rule of Liu Xuan, for fear of being persecuted by him, and I also ask the general to fulfill and allow the last general to cross the river to save my mother." ”

Yuan Yao smiled and said with relief: "Bo Fu is afraid that if you are a little concerned, it will be chaotic, and now that you are only in a deputy position under my account, what is the use of Liu Xuan threatening you?" If he really did something to his family, wouldn't he lose his identity and be ridiculed by the world? But if Bo Fu leads the division across the river and can still win the battle, I'm afraid Liu Miao will really have a reason to do something to your family. Therefore, if you cross the river and harm the family, don't act impulsively! ”

Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that Sun Ce still didn't know what was going on and wanted to speak, he directly stopped him: "Actually, I already have a plan in my heart about crossing the river, so Bo Fu doesn't have to worry about it." ”

"Oh, the general has a clever plan, I don't know if I can tell the lower officer!" Liu Xun asked curiously at an inopportune time.

"This thing made me unhappy early in the morning......"

Yuan Yao was dissatisfied in his heart, and turned his head to Liu Xun with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Liu Fujun, you will know about this plan sooner or later." ”
