After settling down the 100,000 troops, all the high-ranking generals gathered in the Chinese military tent, not an important meeting, but Yu Qinglong would report to Ling Feng on the situation on the Yangtze River, while the others would be observers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It has been almost a year since Ling Feng was thrown, and a year ago, the Yangtze River was full of surging water, and there was nothing as far as the eye could see, but now, after Yu Qinglong's transformation, the Yangtze River has been completely controlled.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone gathered in front of a huge map, and there were many red lines, blue lines, flags, and other architectural markers on the map; Yu Qinglong said with a smile: "My lord, it took me more than two months to draw it, and the map covers more than 5,000 miles; east to Chu County, west to Canghai, north to Qiang County, south to the imperial capital border; The entire middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River are among them. There are also mountains and rivers on the side of the Yangtze River, which are also marked. ”

"Qinglong, you have grown a lot now, and you have a long-term vision; Well done. Ling Feng looked at the map and smiled.

Liao Yundao: "This map is very clear, and even some very small and hidden roads have been framed, which is very rare." ”

"yes, I've never seen a map so carefully drawn."

......

Liao Yun, Han Yong and others were amazed. Because the map is really well drawn and clear.

Zhang Ming and Li Yan didn't have much chance to speak, the two stood on the periphery and looked at the map from time to time.

Yu Qinglong was embarrassed to be praised, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a little more serious about painting." ”

Ling Feng asked, "How many troops do you have in your hands now?" ”

Speaking of troops, Yu Qinglong's face was full of bitterness, and he was also about to talk about it; Yu Qinglong said: "Lord, I only have 20,000 soldiers in my hands, and I didn't even have armor before, and the equipment was slightly unbearable. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qinglong pointed to the map and said: "My lord, please look, I have set up a small post station every five miles along the Yangtze River, in these places, which is garrisoned by a hundred soldiers, equipped with five small boats, their task is to manage the Yangtze River up and down five miles, as well as search the mountains behind it on time, to ensure that no enemy approaches, once the enemy is found, I will report to the big post station fifty miles away." ”

"The Great Post Station, garrisoned by a thousand soldiers, is set up every fifty miles, and is equipped with one medium-sized ship and twenty small ships; They don't have to search the mountains and manage the sea area, they only need to reinforce the operation, and once they find the enemy, they will quickly go forward. Ordinary mountain thieves and water thieves simply can't survive within the scope of my management. ”

"In addition to these, it is the water village, and we now have a total of three water villages; The first is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River on the border of Chu County, this water village was originally garrisoned by 10,000 soldiers, but because the lord has taken the three northern counties, the last general has taken 8,000, and now there are only 2,000 garrisons here; The second water village, three hundred miles away, has 5,000 soldiers stationed to support, can support left and right, the water village is built against the mountain, extremely hidden; There is a third water village, that is the trapped dragon beach, the current trapped dragon beach is not the one that everyone can pass before, I have completely controlled the place, the water village is built in the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River below I also explored clearly, there are countless reefs, are very solid, can not be washed away for many years, there is no problem with piling and repairing the village; So now the trapped dragon beach has become a water checkpoint, and anyone who wants to pass through it must get our consent. ”

"Every small post station garrison of 100 soldiers, every big post station garrison 1,000 soldiers, lord, I don't have troops now, and many large post stations have halved the number of soldiers, and even the trapped dragon beach does not have many soldiers stationed, all scattered all over the place; Originally, I wanted to expand the territory to the Yangtze River outside the imperial capital, but now it seems that it is very difficult. ”

After saying it in one breath, Yu Qinglong looked at Ling Feng. The meaning is obvious, hurry up and give me more troops...

Everyone was very surprised, including Ling Feng, Yu Qinglong's arrangement was very orderly, in this way, up to Qiang County, down to the imperial capital, the Yangtze River sea area is under control, not to mention that the army is going up the river, I am afraid that it is a small boat, it will also be discovered, and in the mountains, the mountains along the river will be searched by the soldiers stationed every day, I am afraid that no bandit can survive.

Ling Feng thought for a while and said: "Well, even if you don't say it, I will give you more troops, you and Liu Qing and Zhang Wu defeated the Wei army in that battle, I am ready to promote you to General Yangwei, in addition to the increase of troops to 30,000; I will send a message to the three northern counties, ask Zhang Guozhong and Li Yungang to recruit new soldiers, and then escort them here. ”

Yu Qinglong thought for a while and said, "Lord, it doesn't matter if you are promoted or not, can you give me more soldiers and horses?" ”

"Are you so short of soldiers?"

Yu Qinglong said: "Yes, I am also going to organize a fleet to search the southern seas, and above Qiang County, whether it is a continuous mountain range or an island beyond the sea area, it is unknown; The last general had checked the classics, but there was no record at all. ”

Ling Feng seemed to be hesitating, in fact, in his heart, he really wanted to give Yu Qinglong soldiers and horses, but this required a balance. Even Liao Yun, Lu Wen, Lu Chang and other generals only have 30,000 soldiers, and they have not made meritorious contributions to take them, if the unknown Yu Qinglong suddenly has more troops than them, then how can they be convinced?

After pondering for a while, Ling Feng shook his head and said, "Qinglong, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, you can't be overly high, you first consolidate the existing territory, as for exploring the sea area, let's talk about it later." The expansion of the army to 30,000 is already the limit of what I can give you, and no bargaining is allowed. ”

"Yes."

Yu Qinglong arched his hand, quite disappointed, but when he saw Liao Yun and the others, he seemed to understand something.

After learning about Yu Qinglong's water army, the party dispersed like this.

After resting for two days at Shuizhai, the army continued on the third day, taking a boat into the Yangtze River and heading downstream.

The Yangtze River is very vast, but as long as you walk by the mountains, you are right, along the way, everyone saw the post stations that Yu Qinglong said before, built against the mountains, docked with warships, and from time to time there were ships sailing out to patrol.

Ling Feng was very satisfied when he saw it, he didn't expect Yu Qinglong, a small water thief, to be able to do this, it was really not easy.

Originally, Ling Feng just wanted Yu Qinglong to build a water village in Sleepy Dragon Beach, and then build a water village in Chu County, so that a checkpoint could be formed in a dangerous place like Sleepy Dragon Beach, and the water village in Chu County was equivalent to a wharf to facilitate the return of the army; I didn't expect Yu Qinglong to make such a big formation.

After driving for half a month, day and night, in the early morning of the 16th, Ling Feng's army finally came to the Imperial Capital Water Division Camp. (To be continued.) )
