Chapter 447: Naval Battle
Yang Xu's wedding banquet finally passed, and Zhang Xiang was tired enough, and Zhang Xiang only later knew why Yang Xu was in such a hurry to get married, it turned out that he was married to his son, and he almost deceived Zhang Xiang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This matter was told to Zhang Xiang by Guo Jia, after all, he was in charge of the dark line work, if Yang Xu knew that he had built up the dark line single-handedly, and finally dealt with himself in turn, would he regret it.
Calm days, time will pass quickly, in a blink of an eye into the winter, but there has been no snow for a long time, the so-called Ruixue trillion year, this old saying is true, Zhang Xiang began to worry about next year.
The output of grain has something to do with God, especially this year Zhang Xiang sent troops to collect grain twice, and the burden on the local people is greater than in previous years, especially the people in Jizhou.
Huang Quan has already sent a letter, hoping that Zhang Xiang can release grain to Jizhou, otherwise the people will have no way to live, what kind of person Huang Quan is, Zhang Xiang knows very well, if he has a way.
Definitely won't go to the book, things should already be very bad, maybe worse than the letter, so it is urgent to release food, Huang Quan's letter just arrived, and then Yu Zeng's side also came.
Although the content of the letter is different, the content is almost the same, in a word, it is necessary to ask for food, but Zhang Xiang's subordinates have no food, this is the price of sending troops, and the war is more than whose family is thick enough.
After this war, the weakness of Zhang Xiang's family background leaked out, it was impossible to borrow grain, all the princes in the world Zhang Xiang were offended, Sun Ce may be willing to support Zhang Xiang, but unfortunately Jiangdong is too far away.
And even if Sun Ce is willing, Zhou Yu will not be willing, supporting Zhang Xiang is equivalent to being an enemy, Zhou Yu will not let Sun Ce come, not to mention that now Sun Ce has a group of people following him when he goes in and out.
There is no way to make Sun Ce dare to take the risk of going to Sili, and Zhou Yu and the others feel fortunate to be able to come back alive, and it is the decision of his mother Mrs. Wu to increase the guard by Sun Ce's side.
Sun Ce is a person who treats his mother to filial piety, so he naturally does not dare to object, borrowing must not work, borrowing must not work, so he can only use the most primitive method, that is, hunting, winter is actually not a suitable assembly for hunting.
But it is very suitable for going to sea to fish, if it were not for Yu Zeng to write this letter, Zhang Xiang would not have thought of Liaodong, the sea is an inexhaustible natural guarantee, so Zhang Xiang took people to Liaodong in person.
The problem of food has not been solved, Zhang Xiang naturally had to appease him in advance, Zhang Xiang quickly returned to Youzhou, Zhang Xiang grew up in Youzhou after all, although the climate in Youzhou is very bad.
But Zhang Xiang was very adaptable, and the feeling of going home was almost the same, Zhang Xiang went to Liaodong accompanied by Yu Zeng, and Yu Zeng at this time became very different from Yu Zeng in Zhang Xiang's memory.
is a lot older, it seems that the life outside the plug is not easy, Zhang Xiang has a trace of guilt towards Yu Zeng, and because of this guilt, Zhang Xiang encountered a big trouble later.
Liaodong can be said to be the coldest place in Youzhou, after all, it is close to the sea, relying on the mountains and water, there are indeed many fishermen in Liaodong, Zhang Xiang found one of the oldest people.
The locals call it Hai Lao, because of his high morality, when Liaodong experienced war, it was also this Hai Lao who took people to the sea to take refuge, and he can be regarded as a person with a little knowledge.
is not a foolish people, the moment Zhang Xiang saw Hai Lao, he firmly believed in the conjecture in his heart, not to mention ordinary people, even some children of the world would be stunned when they saw Zhang Xiang.
And this Hai Lao is like a person who has nothing to do, although the old man is a bit unpleasant, but the wisdom of the old man should not be underestimated, Zhang Xiang feels that he can know the answer he wants from Hai Lao.
Zhang Xiang: "You are Hai Lao, I have heard of it a long time ago!" ā
Hai Lao: "The state pastor said that the grass people are just a fisherman, and it is the honor of the grass people to make the state pastor remember." Zhang Xiang is not the first time to hear these words, and he has heard them often.
In the past, Zhang Xiang felt very disgusted, but when he said it from Hai Lao's mouth, it seemed to be flattering, but it was more like perfunctory, "I don't know why the adults are looking for the villains to come." ā
Zhang Xiang: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you about the harvest since the beginning of winter." ā
Ebi: "This year's winter is different from previous years, this time of year is the best season for fishing, but it doesn't snow, the sea doesn't freeze, and our boat can't go far, so the harvest is very bad." ā
Zhang Xiang: "If you go to sea far, will you get a harvest?" ā
Hai Lao: "Definitely, it is indeed a good way for adults to make up for the lack of food and grass by fishing." "Hai Lao is really not simple, he can guess what Zhang Xiang thinks in his heart.
Zhang Xiang: "You really don't look like an old man, it's a pity to fish, are you willing to be an official?" ā
Hai Lao: "A despicable person is not worthy of the attention of the state pastor." ā
Zhang Xiang: "If you don't want to, even if everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force others to do things for me." Within a few days, Zhang Xiang recruited all the big ships of Liaodong, including the sea ships from Qingzhou.
Zhang Xiang paid a lot of money for this, and some sea ships from Qingzhou were still very resistant, but under Zhang Xiang's strong forces, he could only slip the slippers, and Zhang Xiang was destined to not be able to walk the way of the king.
So you can only do the things of the hegemon, forcing others Zhang Xiang is used to it, the first time he goes out to sea to fish, Zhang Xiang naturally wants to go in person, in order to go out to sea to fish, Zhang Xiang deliberately let the people below prepare a big net.
Under the net during the day, at night to pull the net, but no matter how to pull it up, you can imagine how many fish under this net, Zhang Xiang is also afraid of the empty joy, deliberately let a good soldier go down to see.
After a while, the soldier came up and said directly, "My lord, the nets are full of fish." This sentence also reassured Zhang Xiang, it would be good to have fish.
The next day's return, because I couldn't pull it up, so I could only drag it underwater, but there were many reefs in the offshore area, and some fishing nets were broken, and it was too late for things to happen.
Zhang Xiang could only stop moving, anyway, it was already offshore, so Zhang Xiang asked some fishermen to come over to help, and he has been busy all day, getting the fish out of the net, which can be said to be a real full load.
Zhang Xiang's subordinates do not have food, but with these fish, they can solve the crisis of food shortage, and fish meat is better than food! Fish and meat are easy to store in winter, and Jizhou and Youzhou are not far from Liaodongguo.
What Zhang Xiang wants to do is to let these hungry people eat fish until they vomit, with these sea fish, the local situation is much better, and the local people are also grateful to Zhang Xiang, fish is meat!
For these people who can't eat a meal of meat a year, Zhang Xiang's move is a great gift, and good things are always easy for people to follow, not to mention that Zhang Xiang made such a big move.
The sea ships in Qingzhou were detained, and they all ended up in trouble with Cao Cao, who didn't know what Zhang Xiang wanted to do at first? But later Cao Cao found out, so he naturally wouldn't let go of this good method.
Qingzhou is also close to the sea, Zhang Xiang's method also helped Cao Cao, Cao Cao is also worried about the problem of grain and grass, both forces are fishing at sea, and they didn't go too far at first.
But then they went farther and farther, and finally the two sides had a big battle at sea, this friction was inevitable, Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao were originally opposites, and meeting at sea naturally did not end peacefully.
Zhang Xiang has not left Youzhou, after all, the hunger in Youzhou and Jizhou is to alleviate, not solve, Zhang Xiang originally planned to leave after the matter was completely resolved, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Whether it is on the sea or on the plains, Zhang Xiang must not lose, Zhang Xiang is not familiar with the naval battle, presumably Cao Cao is not familiar with it, and the conditions on both sides are the same.
Zhang Xiang is not afraid of Cao Cao, Zhang Xiang will fight to the south sooner or later, there will definitely be a water war in the south, just adapt to the sea, adapt to the conquest at sea, the rivers in the south are nothing.
Others are easy first and then difficult, Zhang Xiang prefers to be difficult first and then easy, and decided to compete with Cao Cao at sea, Zhang Xiang deliberately transferred Wei Ran to Youzhou, Wei Ran can be said to be a general with better water performance under Zhang Xiang.
Most of the other generals are landlubbers, so it's useless to transfer them? Instead of coming over to die, it is better to stay where he is honestly, Cao Cao has never thought of fighting with Zhang Xiang at sea.
And on such a cold day, the bowstring may not be able to be opened, what a fight! However, Zhang Xiang's troops first issued a provocation at sea, and Cao Cao could not help but follow, and the two sides fought at sea.
Later, Zhang Xiang found that there were many fewer casualties at sea than on the plains, so Zhang Xiang was even more unscrupulous, and even recruited soldiers in winter, all of them were the kind of young people who could be watery.
Winter is the most difficult, many young people are idle, Zhang Xiang's recruitment order, many young people are enough, especially the young and strong in Liaodong, Cao Cao once sent troops to attack Liaodong.
As a result, the local people were killed and injured countless times, and many young men entered the army in order to take revenge, and it can be said that Zhang Xiang's army at sea was pressed against Cao's army, although the scale of the naval battle was not large.
Even if you lose much, you can't lose much, but you can temporarily suppress Cao Cao Zhang Xiang is already very satisfied, no one doesn't like victory, and the same is true for Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang is a very competitive person.
After tasting the sweetness, he naturally will not give up easily, so Zhang Xiang also installed ramming angles in front of all the sea ships, which can be said to be thin and long, which is relative to the entire sea boat.
How can you say that there is such a big head, with the sea ships of Cao Jun who collided with the horns, Zhang Xiang was willing to mess around, but Cao Cao was not willing to accompany him to mess around, so he put away the boats, and it was a big deal not to go far away.
Can't you hide if you can't beat it? Cao Cao didn't believe that Zhang Xiang's sea ship would row to Qingzhou's side, and Cao Cao's retreat became boring, and Zhang Xiang didn't hear about the war at sea for three days.
Zhang Xiang gradually lost interest, except for publicizing the victory in the naval battle, he didn't do anything else? The problem of grain and grass in the two states of Youji and Hebei has also been solved, and Zhang Xiang has also arrived at Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
