Chapter 527: The First Discussion of Jiangdong (1/2)

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became solemn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Wei didn't understand why Guo Jia suddenly asked this question. In fact, this kind of thing is generally not a close minister's confidant, and it is impossible to mention it, not to mention that Cao Peng treats the guilty body, why should he ask him for advice? He subconsciously looked at Cao Cao and found that Cao Cao's thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and his face immediately became a little gloomy. On the other hand, Cao Peng is still relaxed, without any pressure.

I'm a sinner, now serving a prison sentence, why do I care about so many big things?

He looked at Cao Cao and looked light.

After a while, I heard Cao Cao speak: "This week, Gongjin supervises the army, Taishi Cilu Su is the two wings, and the soldiers are in the mouth of the mustache." The situation in Jianghuai is extremely tense, but you bury yourself in the workshop all day long, indulging in the trail, after all, you will not be able to achieve a big climate! Ah Fu, you have disappointed me. ”

Yang Yu's heart suddenly became nervous.

However, he couldn't understand why Cao Cao came to talk to Cao Peng about these things.

As for Cao Peng, he seemed to have no fear and laughed......

"Laughing at what?"

Cao Cao was furious.

Cao Peng said: "The so-called is not in his position, and he is not in his politics."

Now that he is a sin and a ghost in the workshop, he should change his mind and think about it behind closed doors. Therefore, friends have been in Xingyang for half a year, and they rarely contact people. Except for occasional correspondence with his father, or a full study of Confucianism, he never paid attention to all kinds of disputes in the outside world.

As for the so-called Jiangdong disaster, it is just an alarmist talk by people with intentions.

Since ancient times, there has been no reason for success from the south to the north. Not to mention that Jiangdong is sparsely populated, and although it is rich in resources, it is a barren land that has never been developed. Sun Quan has received the favor of his father and brother, and he can stand firm. If he is deliberately an enemy of the lord, I don't think he will have the courage to do so. Sun Quan sent troops to the mouth, not so much to peek into the Jianghuai, but to say that the intention was in the north, why should the lord be afraid? ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned!

Cao Peng's successful uprising from the south to the north has indeed not occurred.

Even the Chu State back then, how powerful it was, it was finally destroyed by the Qin State.

In fact, not only before the Han Dynasty, but also throughout the 5,000-year history of China, it seems that there is only the Ming generation, Zhu Yuanzhang, who started in the south of the Yangtze River and swept a**. Other than that, there are no more such examples. When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a strong interest.

"Then recommended by Ah Fu, why can't Jiangnan succeed?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but be curious, including Guo Jia also showed a look of listening attentively.

Yang Wei looked at Cao Peng with great interest, waiting for Cao Peng's answer. Indeed, for the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Peng's argument is quite novel.

At this time, Cai Di walked in with a basin of water and put it next to Cao Peng.

Cao Peng got up, washed his hands, wiped his face again, patted Cai Di's head melon seeds, and motioned him to go out.

"Who is that kid? It doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains. ”

"Oh, that's the son of the Cai family."

"You mean ......"

Cao Peng smiled, "At the beginning, the Cai family returned to Hexi and was worried about the future of their heirs.

I saw that she was working hard, so I took Xiaodi to the door, and everyone Cai was at ease. The child's original name was Adi, but now he is called Cai Di. It's been nearly three years with me, and although my qualifications are not smart, I am indeed a child who can endure hardships, but I am quite sensible. ”

Cao Peng didn't notice that Guo Jia's expression was a little strange.

As for the sheep, he looked thoughtful and slowly lowered his head.

Cao Cao glanced at Cai Di's back with complicated eyes, and sighed softly in his heart.

"Ah Fu, you go on."

"Since there has been a week, Fengming Qishan.

The general trend of the world is nothing more than a dispute between the east and the west. In the 800-year melee, either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind pressed the east wind. Regardless of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period or the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, their focus has always been on the East and West. Although there is the rise of the Chu State, in comparison, it has always lacked bearing. To Qin sweep**, the rise of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zifang persuaded the capital to close the middle, and settle the future generations, so there is a saying that 'those who get the middle of the pass will win the world'...... On the other hand, Jiangdong, but the land of six counties, is deserted and cold. There are mountain disasters, but also geographical limitations, and the population is thin.

Sun Quan prefers Jiangdong, and borrows the great river moat, or can survive for a long time.

But if you let him compete in the Central Plains, relying on one Jiangdong alone is not enough to maintain ...... What's more, there are few horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of them are foot soldiers.

There is more than enough to keep and not enough to enterprising.

Sun Quan is not Sun Bofu, and he has the ability to expand his territory.

This person is just a dog guarding the house, so why should the lord worry...... As for the harm of Hefei, there is no need to worry. Just send a general out of the town, supplemented by a naval army, which is enough to make the Jiangdong soldiers and horses retreat. ”

Cao Peng said, staring at Cao Cao.

In his words, he revealed a message.

That is, the water army!

And this is precisely the link that Cao Jun lacks the most, or even the weakest link. Looking at the Cao army, there is no naval army that can be conquered.

Cao Cao fell into deep thought.

Guo Jia stroked his palms and smiled, and greatly appreciated Cao Peng's words.

He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Then with Ah Fu's opinion, who can go out of Hefei?" ”

Cao Cao immediately raised his head and looked at Cao Peng.

Historically, it was Zhang Liao who went out of the town of Hefei.

The battle of Xiaoyaojin made Jiangdong dare not face it, and he was definitely the most suitable candidate. It's just that Zhang Liao is now in the Bohai Sea and is besieging Yuan Xi.

It is a bit hasty to replace it.

The Hefei garrison must have several conditions: be able to fight habitually, be proficient in the art of war, and be brave and strong...... Only in this way can we deter those Jiangdong warriors.

"Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, can be in Hefei."

Cao Peng put forward the candidate in a tentative tone.

Cao Cao shook his head, "Zhang Liao is in Bohai today, and he has a great responsibility.

Yuan Xi is still there, and he needs to be defended by a wise general. If Zhang Liao goes to Hefei, who can replace him? What's more, he has been in the Bohai Sea for more than a year, and the situation has just stabilized. If you send someone else, there will be more turmoil...... Although Wen Yuan is strong, he is not the most suitable person. ”

Sure enough, it was still vetoed!

Cao Peng had already been mentally prepared, so as soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, he immediately said: "Since Wen Yuan can't move lightly, then I recommend Gan Ning." ”

"Gan Ning?"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Peng, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"Ah Fu, why did you make Xingba out of Hefei?

I have countless generals under my account, and there is no one to choose from except those who are good friends with you? ”

These words are a bit heart-wrenching.

Everyone knows that Cao Peng and Zhang Liao are good friends; And Gan Ning, who was a general of Cao Peng's family, only took up an official position in the Battle of Guandu.

In other words, the two recommended by Cao Peng are both his own people.

There are so many generals under my Cao Cao, don't you look down on any of them?

Yang Wei's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he suddenly became nervous.

Cao Peng seemed to have nothing to do, and said with a smile: "Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, I know very well. The lord asked me who could control Hefei, and I naturally chose someone I knew. Under the Lord's account, there are indeed many good fighters, but I know very little. Instead of recommending someone I don't know, I recommend someone I know. My lord, when I recommended Kan Ze as the Hercynian Commander three years ago, you asked me the same way at that time.

Today, my answer is the same as it was three years ago.

Virtuous do not avoid relatives!

In my eyes, Xingba is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, I don't know about the others, even if you ask me to recommend others, I still recommend Zhang Liao and Gan Ning. I have already said the reason, I don't understand, and people who are not familiar with it naturally can't recommend it to the lord. ”

Cao Cao asked the heart, and Cao Peng replied unceremoniously.

The palms of the sheep were sweating, and he secretly felt his heart beating......

To be honest, he had never seen anyone talk to Cao Cao like Cao Peng. To put it mildly, Cao Peng is just confronting him.

Cao Cao has said it, you can recommend others.

As a result, he still recognized Zhang Liao and Gan Ning, and said a lot of truths.

Cao Cao's face sank like water, staring at Cao Peng, and he was silent for a long time.

But Cao Zhang and Guo Jia didn't seem to hear it, tasting the melons and fruits sent from the northwest by themselves, without any image.

After a while, Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing.

He smiled happily and was very happy......

"Ah Fu, you kid, in my opinion, three years old is still not enough, I should send you to the north and let you Chengdan be five years old."

Cao Peng also smiled, "If the lord has to make me five years old, it's not impossible."

It's just that if I go to northern Xinjiang, I will ask my lord to send my wife and children with me. Otherwise, that bitter cold place, without a wife and children, is really boring. ”

Sheep, dumbfounded.

The conversation between the two surprised him a little.

Cao Peng confronted Cao Cao so much, Cao Cao was not angry, but joked with the five-year-old pliers; On the other hand, Cao Peng didn't seem to care at all, and actually bargained with Cao Cao. The relationship between these two is really interesting, and it is by no means as simple as an uncle and nephew.

After all, Yang Wei is only in his twenties, and although he has learned well, he has not seen enough after all.

Cao Peng confronted Cao Cao like he did just now, and it was also necessary to divide the occasion and timing. In the matter of recommending the main general of Hefei, Cao Peng's insistence made Cao Cao very happy. Why? Just for Cao Peng's sentence: I'm not familiar with other people, so I can't recommend them.

That's right, under Cao Cao's account, there are many generals.

Li Dian Lejin, Xu Huang is forbidden, which one is not a good fighter?

There are others such as Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, Xiahou and Cao Ren...... But Cao Peng's words are also equivalent to showing his heart: I didn't form a gang, Gan Ning was my general, and Zhang Liao was personally persuaded by me to surrender. These two people, I understand, that's why I recommend them.

Privately, I didn't reach out to anyone else.

"Ah Fu, you just mentioned the water army?"

"Exactly."

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Peng thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Then who do you think can be the chief general of the navy army and assist Xingba?" ”

"Zhou Cang!"

"You mean ......"

Cao Peng nodded and asked rhetorically: "Brother Fengxiao thinks that under the lord's account, how many water armies are there today?" ”

Guo Jia smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth.

That's right, Cao Cao's subordinates currently have only one naval army.

Moreover, there are no more than forty or fifty boats, and there are only three or four thousand people. Speaking of which, this naval army is still the foundation laid by Cao Peng. In that year, Cao Peng seized several boats from the pirates, put Zhou Cang in charge, and stationed them in Yuzhou Mountain. The responsibility is only to patrol the coast and crack down on smuggling and bandits. Later, after eight years of operation by Deng Ji, Buqi and even Kan Ze, there is the appearance of today's Yuzhou Mountain Jinghai Captain Zhou Cang. For this water army, whether it was the imperial court or Cao Cao, they didn't pay much attention.

If this naval army is Cao Peng's private soldier, even Cao Cao has no defense.

To tell the truth, in addition to giving Zhou Cang the title of Captain Jinghai...... And it belongs to miscellaneous, Yu Lu is only better than a thousand stones, and even an ordinary inspection captain, not to mention those regular commanders. Therefore, when it comes to Yuzhou Mountain, Guo Jia can't say anything more. After all, Lao Cao is still sitting here, talking too much, I'm afraid Lao Cao's heart will feel a little uncomfortable.

"Zhou Cang?"

Cao Cao nodded, lost in thought again.

In fact, Cao Peng also revealed another piece of information in his words just now.

If you want to use troops against Jiangdong, it is absolutely impossible without a naval army!

You must know that the Jiangdong waterway is vertical and horizontal, and there are large rivers and moats. When the cavalry arrives in Jiangdong, there is bound to be little room for them to exert their strengths.

In Jiangdong, the navy is the absolute main force.

But the question is, how can Cao Cao have the spare strength to form a naval army now?

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "What Ah Fu said has some truth. It's just that where should this naval army be stationed? ”

Cao Peng thought for a while, beckoned to Cao Zhang, and said, "Ziwen, go to my study and get the map." ”

After a while, Cao Zhang came to the hall with a scroll of maps in his hand, unfolded it and hung it in the hall.

Cao Peng got up and said: "This is a map that I asked Uncle Zhou to draw, he has been circulating along the coast of Jiangbei all year round, so he knows the situation best."

I remember that when I was stationed at Tanglin Pavilion, there was a desert island here, which was located at the mouth of the river.

This island, close to Hailing, can threaten the Dantu if it goes west, and it can approach Biling when it goes south...... If you go along the coast, you can land at Huating, approach Lou County, and look at Wuhui. It's just that this area is controlled by Sun Quan, and He Qi is stationed in Shanyin, so it is not easy to attack.

But this Tanglin Island (now Rudong) ...... Oh, the name I gave it. Now whether it is the lord or Sun Quan, I haven't paid attention to it. Here you can enter the big river, retreat to Yandu, is a very convenient place. The lord can make Uncle Zhou garrison Tanglin Island, which is enough to make the Jiangdong naval army jealous. However, if you want to gain a firm foothold here, I am afraid it will be difficult to work if it is not a million, please think twice. ”

The establishment of a naval army involves problems in all aspects, and it is by no means a day that can produce results.

Cao Peng and Deng Ji took eight years to form a small water army. However, it is acceptable along the coast, and there are still many problems that need to be solved after entering the river.

Cao Peng didn't expect Cao Cao to make up his mind immediately, but just put forward a proposition.

As for whether Cao Cao accepts it or not, it is not something he can decide...... The key is, how much energy can Cao Cao put into the water army?

Sailors, sailors!

These two words also kept lingering in Cao Cao's mind.

It dawned on him that he had made a mistake. Since the beginning of the army, he has ignored the existence of the navy...... What Cao Peng said is very reasonable, Jiangdong has more than enough defense and insufficient attack. But in the same way, if he wants to set foot in Jiangdong, without a strong naval army, there is no reason to succeed. However, it is not an easy task to build a permanent water army. Jiangdong Ti III operated, and the navy has become a climate.

And what about yourself?

Since ancient times, northerners are good at riding, and southerners are good at boating.

If you want to conquer Koto, it seems that you will need to take a lot of effort......
