Since Yuan Shu and Liu Biao successively appointed Yuzhang Taishou, the battle between the two sides for Yuzhang County has been doomed.

The act of appointing a taishou is a common thing that the princes of all walks of life often do to grab the territory after the division of the heroes, and generally appoint a taishou to play with the civil war before they are ready to use force, if they can obtain control of the place, it is the best, but if they can't succeed, then they still have to use force in the end.

Now that Zhuge Xuan and Cai Mao have already taken advantage of the first-mover advantage, it is impossible for Yuan Yao to give up, because the four counties of Jiangdong are his battlegrounds; It can even be said to be the basic plate of the entire General Zuo's Mansion; It is the foundation of Yuan Shu's father and son!

Where you are sleeping, how can you allow others to snore?

Historically, it was Sun Ce who took back Yuzhang County, but then betrayed Yuan Shu.

Now, the person who carried out this task became Yuan Yao.

When driving from Wanling to the Yangtze River, Yuan Yao handed over the army to Chen Wu, and led his guards back to Moling, because he might not be able to take care of the work of cloning people for a long time, so he had to arrange it well, lest they have nothing to do.

Now there are two buildings built by the clones in Moling, one is the academy, which takes two months to complete, and Yuan Yao plans to appoint it as the Danyang Academy after the completion of the construction;

The other is the Armory, which will be completed in two days.

According to the time calculation, Yuan Yao could wait here for the construction to be completed, arrange his work tasks, and then leave Moling to go to Chen Wu, so he decided to wait here.

In addition to these two buildings that had already been arranged, Yuan Yao planned to build another knight academy near the armory workshop, which was required by the system "Knight System"; and the addition of a barracks.

The knight system is the aristocratic selection system in the West, if it comes to the Han Dynasty, which respects Confucianism alone, it will definitely be strongly resisted.

However, fortunately, the system did not want Yuan Yao to copy the system, and its fundamental purpose was to establish a military attache system to select military generals in the later period after completing the civil official system in the early stage of the "Imperial Era".

The selection mechanism of the Han Dynasty was the probationary system, and most of the subjects of the probationary system corresponded to the scribes and Confucian scholars, among which the well-known "filial piety" in later generations was one of them.

Although the scribes of the Han Dynasty were not as powerless as they were after the Song Dynasty, they were still far from the real fierce generals.

And the only subject for martial artists in the inspection subject is still a special subject: brave and knowing the art of war.

Special science is the meaning of special opening, so since the Han Dynasty four hundred years ago, this martial arts department has only been opened three times in total, less than once in a hundred years, and filial piety is a kind of liberal arts class is an old subject, that is, every year has the meaning.

Therefore, after the initial establishment of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and the exclusive respect of Confucianism by Emperor Wu, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was monopolized by the literati, and it is almost impossible to expect them to recommend martial artists.

And the "knight system" required by the system is to let Yuan Yao explicitly set up a way out for the martial artists, so as to achieve the purpose of parallel civil and military, not to let him copy the Western set of knightly creed.

Therefore, after the construction of the Knight Academy was completed, the name Yuan Yao was going to change it to "Martial Academy", which corresponded to the academy not far away, otherwise it would always look weird.

As for the purpose of building another barracks, in addition to finding more things to do nearby for the clones, it is to keep it as a backup, just in case.

If there is really a shortage of troops and a crisis, then Yuan Yao will turn all the more than 1,200 clones in Moling into soldiers, plus the current recruitment of 18 people per day, and then make a bunch of unintelligent and emotionless monsters come out, I believe that he will definitely be able to make achievements......

After another two days, the armory workshop was completed, and Yuan Yao finally didn't have to wait any longer, he was originally going to use it to make iron armor, but when he saw a bunch of swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows and other objects, he hesitated for a while.

Especially after seeing crossbows, I couldn't help but make some first, because now the princes of the world lack craftsmen who can make crossbows, and it will take a while to train crossbowmen with standard equipment.

The advantages of crossbowmen over archers are that they are easy to train, easy to popularize, and save energy.

A crossbowman has no problem shooting dozens of arrows; An archer may not be able to pull the string if he shoots a dozen arrows.

Therefore, if Yuan Yao can train standard crossbowmen before others, he will have a certain advantage on the battlefield.

However, considering that Danyang's advantage lies in iron ore, Yuan Yao still chose the initial decision to make iron armor for the army, because whether it is the government or the people, compared with other weapons, the craftsmen who can make iron armor are also the fewest .

The iron armor that can be made in the armory workshop now is divided into soldier armor and general armor, and Yuan Yao will not consider it for the time being, those are just good-looking, just like fashion, and they will be recreated when you are in the mood.

There are three types of iron armor in the armor category, namely shackle armor, scale armor, and chain mail.

Yuan Yao finally chose to put pieces of iron together to form the armor, because his Xuanjia guards wore this kind of armor, which was convenient for the popularization of the system after it was made.

To Yuan Yao's surprise, even with the high efficiency of working according to the program of cloning, it would take a person three months to complete a pair of armors; Three people can work together to make a pair in a month, although the time is accelerated, but there is no essential improvement in efficiency.

Yuan Yao now has 308 clones around him who are still idle, so he sent 300 people to make armor in the armory, and the output of such a month is 100 pairs of armor, which is not too much, but not too little.

The remaining 8 people started the two buildings of the Knight Academy and the Barracks respectively, of course, this number is not enough, but they can start building, and the newly recruited clones can directly supplement the work of building the barracks, because this is relatively fast, and after completion, it will automatically help build the Knight Academy not far away, this guy is a fortress that takes two thousand clones and three months to complete, so Yuan Yao doesn't have to worry about the clones having nothing to do for a while.

After arranging the clone, Yuan Yao went to meet Chen Wu non-stop, and when he arrived at the agreed ferry by the Yangtze River, it turned out that Chen Wu's army would take another day to arrive, which made Yuan Yao, who was in a hurry, breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard the report of the ferry official, Yuan Yao's brows furrowed again.

The Jingzhou Navy Clipper Red Horse has already begun to patrol the river, the main warships have also begun to cruise on the river, and all ships on both sides of the Yangtze River have been stopped by force, and the so-called blockade of the Yangtze River has really begun.

This time, there is no need to probe to visually detect the approximate number of Jingzhou naval forces, of which there are 10 ships in the main building; fifty or sixty fighting ships; There are more than 100 ships, not counting other auxiliary ships, and there are about 200 main warships alone.

If these main warships are full, the number of Jingzhou naval forces may exceed 60,000, which makes Yuan Yao suddenly realize that it seems that it has not been easy to meet with the Lujiang army now, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be blocked by the main force of Jingzhou naval army, and then he will be forced to fight a decisive battle, which is not what Yuan Yao wants to see now.

Faced with this situation, after thinking about it, Yuan Yao ordered someone to drive a fast ship to break through the blockade and go to Lujiang to send an order to Yuan Hong, asking him to lead a fleet of battleships to meet Yuan Yao.

The speed of the battleship is the fastest ship except for the Chima Clipper who serves as a scout on the water, so it is not afraid of the pursuit of the main force of the Jingzhou naval army, and can also use the "kite flying" tactic to hit the enemy ship.

The reason why Yuan Yao transferred Yuan Hong over was that he planned to use the speed and long-range strike capability of the battleship formation to contain the main naval army in Jingzhou, and then let Liu Xun send the naval army to meet the army led by Chen Wu, so as to avoid being intercepted by the halfway.

In other words, Yuan Yao planned to lead the existing 21 new warships to challenge the 200 or so traditional Han Dynasty naval forces led by Cai Mao, and see if the new warships and new tactics could really be crushed against the ancient and traditional forces.

21:200, even if it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity, Yuan Yao is very much looking forward to it......
