Chapter 13 The Founding of the Naval Army

Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses finally failed to leave Zang Ba's soldiers and horses in Qingzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Although both the location of the ambush and the timing of the ambush can be regarded as accurate. It's a pity, how can a general like Zang Ba act carelessly. He deliberately left Sun Guan and Wu Dun in Langya, because these two people were eager to save Chang at this time, and Zang Ba was worried that the two of them would be poisoned by Cao Cao's army on the road. Let the two of them stay in Langya at this time, and personally lead the army to come. First, he is careful everywhere, and it is naturally not easy to fall for the enemy's tricks. Second, it is also because his own ability is better than others, and only by attacking by himself can it be possible to rescue Changfeng in the shortest possible time. He had never had the idea of repelling Cao Jun, although he had never heard of Zhang Liao's name before, but he could be appointed by Gao Ye to lead an army to fight Qian, and he would not be an incompetent person.

Moreover, Zhang Liao has been surrounded by Qianqian for these days, but he has been in a hurry, if Zhang Liao is surrounded and does not fight, waiting for work, how can his soldiers and horses be the opponent of Cao Cao's army that has been recuperating in Zhang Liao's hands? Therefore, Zang Ba, who marched all the way, was cautious all the time. Especially when he heard that Qiancheng had been besieged by Zhang Liao's 10,000 horses for more than ten days and was still in the hands of Chang Xuan, Zang Ba knew that encircling the point and sending reinforcements was what Zhang Liao had to do at this time. His target at this time was not Chang Feng in Qiancheng City at all, but his own support army. Zang Ba, who had already seen through Zhang Liao's layout, how could he easily fall for Zhang Liao's strategy.

Judging from the military report sent back by Zhang Liao, Zang Ba fought this battle in a decent way. Even if he was ambushed and had 10,000 soldiers and horses, the loss was less than 3,000. Although Zhang Liao has now successfully entered Qiancheng City, Chang Xuan in the city has fled. Although it was the first time for Xia Houde to do such a big thing as confusing the enemy army, he did it well. Chang Xuan, who had been staying in the city, saw that Zhang Liaojun was violent, and he couldn't receive information from the outside world, so he immediately abandoned all the sergeants, and he himself took a few people to escape at night. Zhang Liaojun, who was originally an empty camp, how could he know when Chang Feng left?

Therefore, Zhang Liao, who won a small battle, was about to continue to fight with Zang Ba, but found that Zang Ba was already leading the army and slowly retreating. It was also at this time that he received an urgent report from Xia Houde, saying that Qiancheng City had opened and surrendered, and the Changfeng in the city had disappeared. In this regard, Xiahoude pleaded guilty in the military newspaper, after all, Changfeng was able to escape from the besieged Qiancheng City, and he, the main person in charge, was naturally to blame.

After Zhang Liao knew about this, he also knew in his heart that he couldn't do anything, so he immediately led the army back. While arranging for Xiahoulan and the others to stabilize the city's defenses, they sent the good news and their own letters to Beihai together. However, after Gao Ye read Zhang Liao's military report, he didn't care much about it, Zhang Liao's heart to make meritorious contributions now is very clear. Besides, there was nothing wrong with what he thought at the time, but Zang Ba was a great general, and Zhang Liao's calculations failed, so it was not surprising. Moreover, Zhang Liao has now perfectly completed the task assigned to him, and 10,000 soldiers and horses have taken Qianqian and stationed on the spot, which is already meritorious. Therefore, in the face of Zhang Liao's petition for guilt, Gao Ye only replied to a private letter, encouraging him, Xia Houlan and others.

After all, now Gao Ye, his mind is no longer on Zhang Liao or Xuzhou. Judging from the various types of information he has received now, his move to enter Qingzhou has completely attracted the attention of Xuzhou. Although he is very strange, Yuan Shao, this guy didn't even fart his behavior, and he still attacked Youzhou with one mind, but he was also happy to be like this, now everyone needs time, just be safe. As for Lu Bu's accusations, Gao Ye doesn't need to pay attention to it, his current official position is that he is a general and leader of Qingzhou, but there is nothing unusual in sending troops to Qingzhou in theory. However, Chen Gong under Lu Bu, although this person is not good at improvisation, he still has political vision. Why is Gao Ye in Qingzhou at this time, his heart is like a mirror.

But just as his heart is like a mirror, and Gao Ye's heart is also like a mirror at this time, Lu Bu can't divide his troops at all now, and he goes north to Qingzhou. After all, Xiaopei's Liu Bei has been moving frequently recently, and he has been putting a lot of pressure on Lu Bu. Especially a few days ago, Zhang Fei even robbed the horses of Lu Bu's subordinates, such a straightforward provocation, how could Lu Bu not be angry? Although he is a big threat to the north of Xuzhou, no matter what, his current threat level is not comparable to Liu Bei. As long as Chen Gong is not crazy, he will naturally not persuade Lu Bu to divide his troops to attack.

This is also the reason why Gao Ye didn't care about Lu Bu's reproach at all, and casually wrote him a letter that he had received Qingzhou Mu, and the garrison Qingzhou was also due at this time, even if he was sent away. Today's high night, full of worries, are all the docks that have begun to be built, and the sailors that are preparing to be formed.

Therefore, after Gao Ye handed over all the city defenses of Beihai to Xu Huang and Yu Ban, he personally went to Buqi, ready to take a look at this navy that did not even have a prototype. Looking at Jiaozhou Bay in the future, Gao Ye couldn't help but feel emotional. For the people at this time, it can be described as an unknown barren land, not only is the place not large, but the most important thing is that the land is not good, and the salinization is extremely serious, and it is difficult to cultivate. As a result, few people live in the vicinity except for fishermen. But for Gao Ye, this is not only a natural harbor, but also a personal pain for every Chinese in the future.

Perhaps the first half of the entire modern history of China is a pain in the heart of every Chinese. This place was occupied by the Germans in 1897, and later became fat in the eyes of the Japanese, and finally returned to the embrace of the motherland after several wars. At this time, although Gao Ye was looking at the dock that had begun to be built in Jiaozhou Bay, his eyes had already crossed the sea, crossed the Korean Peninsula, and almost saw the land of Japan. When the navy is established and the world is unified, shouldn't we also send people to Japan to "go around"?

However, at this time, Gao Ye just thought about it casually, after all, these things are still too far away, and the world doesn't know when it will be unified, so it's ridiculous that he thinks of what will happen after unification. Therefore, Gao Ye smiled and continued to listen to Jia Kui's introduction beside him. Just now, he has been telling himself how big the dock is and how complete the facilities are in front of him. I don't know anything about this, and because Jia Kui has been following up on this matter, this is the first thing he is talking about. But no matter how good what he said, Gao Ye didn't understand it, how could he be interested in listening to it? Therefore, Gao Ye, who came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Liang Dao, let's talk about this first." How about it, how long is the expected construction period, and can we start building the ship this year? ”

Jia Kui arched his hand on the side and said: "After returning to the general, according to the plan of Dong Zao, the master craftsman sent by the Jiangdong Gu family, he will be the master craftsman who will be the supervisor and the master is expected to complete the dock around November this year." However, the general also knew that this shipbuilding was not a one-day affair, and it would take time to select and process the wood. Therefore, Dong Dajiang has already arranged for people to do this at this time. Master Dong once said that with these 300 craftsmen and some material support from the Gu family, he was confident that he would build a fleet by the end of next year. ”

"A fleet? What is equipped? ”

The master craftsman said that there could be a three-story ship, which was the main ship of the fleet, and could carry 3,000 soldiers and horses. There can be 10 ships and 20 ships on board, so it can carry 5,000 sailors, and it is also a great fleet in Jiangdong. Now that the general is preparing to use troops on the Yellow River, there is naturally no problem. ”

"Xingba, how is it, is there a problem with the recruitment of the water army?"

"Haha, General Hou can rest assured that since Lao Tzu set up a banner and recruited a navy, there are countless applicants! You know, isn't this the young offspring in the city who can't afford to eat, and they're afraid that they won't be able to recruit people? ”

"Have your former subordinates arrived?"

"Arrived, only came the other day. Except for a few people who have already fed the fish and turtles of the Yangtze River, there are many others. With them, as long as there is a boat, they can immediately pull up a naval army! ”

"Don't be careless, now that Jiaozhou Bay is calm, there is naturally no problem for you to train the navy. But once you go to sea, it's very different. The wind is high and the waves are urgent, and it is by no means comparable to the small wind and waves of the Yangtze River. Be careful. In particular, the building ship is afraid that it will capsize in an instant if it encounters a strong wind in the open sea. ”

"Is it so powerful? General, don't you joke with me, do you? ”

"Ahem." Gao Yeqing coughed, and then said: "Who laughed with you, what the sea is like, I know more than you in my heart." By the way, where is Dong Zao, let him come to see me in a while, I have to ask him if he is familiar with the application of the keel. If it is an inland river boat, he is an expert, and when it comes to sea boats, I am afraid that he is also the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair, and it is not possible to give a good advice. ”

"Haha, General Hou's words are interesting" Gan Ning suddenly laughed when he heard this, "The eldest girl gets on the sedan chair, hey, it's really with my appetite." I didn't expect that the general, who was full of wealth, could say such vulgar words. ”

"Haha, this is not rough." Gao Ye laughed even more when he heard this. Cao Zhen, who came in a hurry, saw Gao Ye's happy smile, and asked Jia Kui about the reason one by one, looking like curiosity killed the cat, which made Gao Ye's laughter brighter by three points.

However, Gao Ye saw that the kid in front of him was also wearing a helmet and armor, and he couldn't help but sigh at Cao Cao's good luck. His sons, from Cao Ang to Cao Chong, are all capable guys. Who can leave a mark in the history of the incompetent? Even the few righteous sons he received were all powerful. He Jin's son, He Yan, was the founder of Wei and Jin metaphysics. Bao Xin's son, Bao Xun, is even more knowledgeable and upright. Qin Yilu's son Qin Lang, who is a long-sleeved dancer, was favored in the Cao Pi and Cao Rui dynasties. In the end, there is the Cao Zhen in front of him, who can fight well and has been resisting Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in the later period.

Gao Ye looked at Cao Zhen, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift away. Cao Cao's sons are so good, I really don't know what his son will be like in the future!
