Sun Quan's ambition has never been spoken to anyone.

But after he ascended to the throne of Wu, this ambition became more and more vigorous, and it became more and more scorching.

If you hit Rome, you must hit Rome.

He made a decision in his heart, so he paid more and more attention to the navy, but if he wanted to cross the Pacific Ocean or the Indian Ocean, it was not so simple.

With the long-distance sailing ability of Wu's current warships, it is far from enough.

Therefore, shipbuilding has become the most urgent thing for Sun Quan now, he has begun to develop shipbuilding workshops, steamships, it takes time, he is not doing research, even if he vigorously develops in this area, at least decades of research.

But ironclad ships, it can be considered.

"Gong Miao, since Jingzhou was defeated, many people in the army think that the current Wu State no longer needs so many naval officers, so many of them propose to reduce the navy and increase the budget for infantry and cavalry, do you have any opinions?"

After half a ring, Sun Quan retracted his thoughts, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at He Qi.

The navy is the largest force of Wu, but when Jingzhou is defeated, all the waterways in the south will be opened, and in the eyes of many Wu generals, Wu's future opponents are the princes of the north.

There is no naval army in the north, so Wu naturally does not need to feed such a useless navy.

The generals of the infantry and cavalry in the army naturally thought that the navy really did not need so many troops today, and wanted to poach people from the navy.

Even Pan Feng, Zhao Yun and others were moved, and they played again and again, demanding that the navy personnel be cut and let the officers and men of the navy get off the warship and enter the infantry and cavalry system.

Lu Bu's guy is even more direct. He trained the naval army surrendered by Chu as an ordinary foot soldier.

However, Sun Quan's attitude towards this matter has always been vague, and there is no clear answer, so the generals in the army dare not move and have been pressing this matter.

However, in today's situation, many people think that the reduction of the navy is inevitable. Therefore, some of them in Ganning, Zhoutai, and Xue Zhou were panicked.

In fact, Sun Quan had already made a decision in his heart about this matter.

He asked He Qi now, just to see He Qi's eyes.

He Qi, He Gongmiao, Huijiren, was born in Jinyiwei, and later entered the army, became famous in the first battle of pacifying Shanyue, and is now a former general of Wu.

In the navy, he and Zhou Tai. Gan Ning and Xue Zhou are tied for the Big Four, but in addition to Gan Ning, Sun Quan is the most optimistic about him.

He Qi's martial arts have also improved a little over the years, but at most he is about the same as Xue Zhou, compared to the tiger general Zhou Tai Ganning, he is far inferior.

But if we talk about the formation of troops. Planning the layout, He Qi is much stronger than all of them.

Gan Ning's strength is his ability to command on the spot. In a water battle, his command ability and charging ability are unmatched. But if it is pre-war preparations and troop arrangement, he is somewhat inferior to Yu Heqi.

In Sun Quan's heart, the combination of Gan Ning and He Qi. is the most perfect, as long as they cooperate sincerely, they can support the future of hundreds of thousands of navies.

"Reducing the Navy?" When He Qi heard this, his brows furrowed, and he quickly shook his head. Said respectfully: "King, the last general disagrees, the future of the navy is no longer the Yangtze River, the core of our navy development is not the inland, it is the sea, although the number of the navy accounts for half of the soldiers of Wu, but this is a must, the vastness of the sea will bring an infinite future to Wu!" ”

Those who have not actually sailed will never be able to appreciate the vastness of the sea.

There are many islands found in the South China Sea today, but they have not yet been developed, and once they are developed, He Qi expects that these places will be enough to support ten Wu kingdoms.

Besides, no one knows how big the sea really is, as long as the navy's warships go further, he has the ability to continue sailing, and he is full of confidence in the future of the sea.

"You can think so, Lone is very pleased, Lone is not mistaken, you can rest assured, the navy will never be cut!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately smiled, smiled brightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This time, Gu sent you back to the East China Sea, do you know why?" ”

"Because of the Northern Frontier!" He Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, the battle in the northern frontier, he read the guò newspaper when he was in the South China Sea, and learned one or two, and when he returned to the land Taiwei Mansion to meet Taiwei Cheng Pu, he carefully learned everything from the Taiwei Mansion, so he was not surprised.

"Clever!"

Sun Quan nodded: "At present, our main development is always inland, the northern frontier now needs the assistance of the navy, Gan Ning's fleet fought in Chibi, the casualties were too large, Xue Zhou and Zhou Tai are also still licking their wounds in Chibi and Chaisang, you can use the navy alone, only your South China Sea fleet!" ”

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Xue Zhou all participated in the Battle of Chibi, and they were the main force, so they couldn't recover their original combat effectiveness without a year and a half.

"Da Wu rest assured, the last general should do his best to assist them, and at any cost, pacify the northern frontier!"

He Qi leaned down directly, his eyes were cold, and he said murderously: "Those who offend my Great Wu, even if all the sons and daughters of our navy abandon their familiar warships and land in the north, they will definitely spare no strength and kill them all!" ”

Sun Quan was very satisfied with He Qi's attitude, but he shook his head and instructed: "Gong Miao, the training of the navy is not easy, and Lone does not want to see your South China Sea fleet give up the best warships and land operations, which will definitely cause a lot of casualties. ”

The battle formation of the navy was mainly haunted by the warships, and the battle formation was trained, and it was very difficult to land in the north, and the most important thing was that they did not go through the defense of the cavalry, and were rushed and scattered by the elite cavalry of the steppe nomads.

It is irrational for the navy to face the cavalry in the wide area of northern Xinjiang.

"The Admiral understands!"

Hearing this, He Qi nodded.

"You go, after you rest in Jinling for a day, go north as much as you can!" Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "Before the end of the war in Northern Xinjiang, the fleet under your command must be on standby in the waters of the East China Sea, and I don't want any accidents in the battle in Northern Xinjiang, as for the South China Sea and Australia, Gu has already sent Gan Ning south!" ”

"No!"

He Qi nodded, and then walked out of the side hall.

"Ziheng, did you hear what General Gu and He said just now?" Sun Quan turned his head, looked at Lu Fan, who had been hanging beside him, squinted slightly, and asked pointedly.

"I understand!"

Lu Fan nodded indifferently.

"You have been in Yizhou, how can you stabilize Australia in the future, you should be very familiar with this, this does not need to be reminded alone, at the beginning of the great transfer of Montenegro, we have sent 100,000 people to Australia!"

Sun Quan said lightly: "This is the first batch, and then we will send more people to develop Australia, preliminary exploration, Australia is very large, than the six counties of Jiangdong, even more than Jiangdong, and the resources are very rich, there are iron ore, gold mines, and where the climate is mild, as long as Australia can be stable, it will be the second granary of Wu!" ”

"The minister will do his best!" Lu Fan nodded.

"Lu Fan, are you still resentful of Lone?" Sun Quan looked at his calm and expressionless face, squinting slightly, very suddenly.

"Win and lose!"

Lu Fan shook his head and said calmly: "The minister doesn't dare to complain!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you are resentful or not!"

Sun Quan heard his grievances, he had a bright smile on his face, showing white jade-like teeth, and said lightly: "But Lu Ziheng, you can seriously remember one thing, your every move will be related to Sun Bofu's future fate, if you want him to one day be able to walk out of Taihu Lake and gallop the world, then, you must let the world of Wu know it, let the court of Wu State recognize it, you are a lonely diehard, understand?" ”

Sun Quan never denied Lu Fan's loyalty to Sun Ce, and he was even more persistent than Zhou Yu, so he knew that Lu Fan was powerful, but he still chose to exile him to the South China Sea.

If you want to use him, you must go through the precipitation of time, which is inevitable.

"Minister, understood!"

Lu Fan trembled, and his eyes bloomed with a touch of essence.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Youzhou, Yuyang.

In Yuyang City, northeast, on a bare hillside, Zhang Yan led 10,000 remnants of the army, a little rest, he was a little tired, the battle armor on his body was bloodstained, but it was more of a mental blow.

After a night of bloody battles, the castle outside the Great Wall was still lost, and under the sound of the enemy, he misjudged the shape of the city, and finally let the cavalry of the Karasuma people knock open the castle.

He knew very well in his heart that it was Liu Yu's subordinate in the past, Yan Rou, the captain of Karasuma, who gave the idea to the Karasuma people.

Yan Rou led his troops to attack Jicheng before, but he suddenly sent troops to intercept him, and finally almost wiped out the whole army, but later it was the Karasuma cavalry who saved him, and now he has merged with the Karasuma cavalry.

Yan Rou should be more resentful of him, so he can be ruthless.

"General, eat some dry food!"

A pro-soldier handed over a piece of dry noodles and a kettle, which was the marching dry food of the Wu State, which was more carryable and delicious than the ordinary kind of dry food that was hard and sticky, and could not be bitten, and could be digested.

"Is there any news from the scouts on the side of the Rakhei?" Zhang Yan was indeed hungry, so she took the dry food and water and ate it in a big gulp.

"No news yet!" The soldiers shook their heads and said, "But it's been a night since we escaped from Qianping, and they shouldn't be able to catch up!" ”

"Don't underestimate these Karasuma cavalry!" Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "It is estimated that we can't hold it here, we must return to Yuyang City before this, give the order to go down, rest for half an hour, and continue to march!" ”

"No!"

The soldiers nodded and immediately went to give orders to the generals of all parties. (To be continued......)
