Xuzhou, Yuzhou Mountain.

Under a blue sky and white clouds, the waves crash on the shore, swinging heavy waves, it is spectacular, in the sound of the waves, a flaming battle flag is raised high, flying in the wind, like a cluster of flames as bright.

This is the lair of the Flame Battalion, one of the seven main military camps of the Wu State today.

In the early years, it was the lair of the pirates Xue Zhou, but since Sun Quan and Sun Ce raided the East China Sea in the past, Xue Zhou surrendered to Cheng, and it has become an important military town of Wu State.

Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and the East China Sea Battalion of Wu was established, which became the old nest of He Qi, the former general of Wu and the head of the East China Sea Battalion, and there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding it in peacetime.

Today, the East China Sea Camp has been renamed the Flame Camp.

As the seven main legions of the Wu State, the Flame Legion is a corps that integrates naval foot soldiers, and the place where Yuzhou Mountain is connected to the sea and land is naturally the best camp of the Flame Army.

He Qi backed Yuzhou Mountain, controlled the navy of Xuzhou on the one hand, and remotely controlled the navy of the East China Sea on the other, as the security of Xuzhou and the East China Sea, the Flame Battalion did not dare to relax at all.

On the Xuzhou side, he can relax, in the battle a few months ago, Langya was taken in one fell swoop, and the Wei army would not counterattack in a short time.

But in the East China Sea, He Qi had to be cautious.

Although the land of Youzhou in eastern Liaodong has now calmed down, and the Japanese country of Mahan has also been incorporated into the territory of Wu, and the waters of the East China Sea are also considered peaceful, but with the rise of caravan shipping, pirates have also begun to spawn in the waters of the East China Sea.

If it is an ordinary pirate, it can naturally be annihilated directly, but the pirate with the full support of the Wei army in Qingzhou is the object of He Qi's headache.

The Wei army has now begun to see the world of the sea, and began to vigorously develop the navy, and they have established a number of shipbuilding workshops with Qingzhou as the core. One warship after another was launched, and today's Wei Navy can be regarded as a small scale.

Although they have been pressed by He Qi, Cai Mao, the chief general of the Wei Navy, is not simple, even under He Qi's high-pressure policy, they have slowly developed.

The East China Sea is a large area. Even if the Wu navy is strong, it can't cover the entire navy, Cai Mao has some ideas of the Eighth Route Army in later generations, using the policy of surround big ships with small boats, and with the assistance of Wei ghosts, he rebelled against many Mahan and Japanese people.

With the pirate policy, to deal with the Wu Navy, I have to say that they are looking in the right direction.

If the Wu Navy is a net. These big fish in the Wei Navy naturally can't escape in the face of this net, but the pirates, these small shrimps and small fish, can escape from this net.

Now there are many caravans sailing, which involves the economic transactions between Jiangdong and Beidi, if those merchant ships are hijacked, the domestic chamber of commerce can spit He Qi to death with spit.

He Qi has been exhausted recently in order to suppress bandits at sea. Several main naval divisions and fleets were dispatched and severely suppressed. It can be regarded as temporarily calming this trend.

However, if you want to completely stabilize the situation in the East China Sea, the most important thing is in Qingzhou.

The Flame Camp, a three-story wooden building, stands on the highest slope of Yuzhou Mountain, in the command hall of the middle hall, He Qi stood in front of the sand table. The topography of the East China Sea as you gaze.

"Lao Zeng, we have come to an end in the matter of suppressing bandits, but we must strengthen our control over the islands of the Japanese Kingdom."

He Qi said in a deep voice: "In the past year, there have been two uprisings of the Japanese people. Although it has subsided, they have lost at least more than 300 lives to our flame soldiers, and among these scattered islands, many pirates have appeared, which has seriously affected the shipping routes of our East China Sea! ”

"General, the islands of the Wa Kingdom are very large, the islands on the mainland, two counties, Yamato County and Kyushu County, these two counties have a lot of people, and General Zhou Tai used blood to suppress these Wa people.

Although over the years, China has sent a lot of Confucians to declare the culture of the Wu Kingdom, calm the hearts of the people, and win over the people's hearts, but after all, the time is not long, the effect is not great, they are a little turbulent, it is normal, I propose to change a division to guard the islands of the Wa Kingdom! ”

Sota was the chief of staff of the Flame Battalion.

He is not a resourceful strategist, but he is a veteran of Jiangdong, born in the Jiangdong Army in the era of Sun Jian, and once followed Sun Quan to fight a bloody defense battle in Wu County.

Since then, it was Sun Quan's family of people who later fought in the East China Sea Battle in Xuzhou, and also established miraculous achievements under Sun Quan.

This is a fierce general, let him be a staff officer, in fact, it is a little aggrieved, but now the staff officer is a new position, it is difficult to find, because he is old and relatively calm, so he was recruited by the staff division with a lack of talent and served as the chief of staff of the flame battalion.

In fact, the position of staff officer has now begun to gradually integrate into the military.

Although Zeng Tian does not have the right to check and balance the main general, as the chief of staff of the Flame Battalion, the position of the second-in-command is true.

"Is there a problem with the 10th Division?"

When He Qi heard this, his brows furrowed, this was a relatively strong naval division under his command.

"General, there is no problem with the 10th Division, but there is a problem with Division Commander Chen Heng!" Zeng Tian smiled slightly wryly.

The commander of the 10th Division, Chen Heng, a great general, in the past he was a fierce general under the command of Liu Xuan, and later Liu Xiang fled to Jiangdong, and handed over the remnants of 20,000 soldiers and horses and the three fierce generals to Jiangdong in exchange for saving his life.

After that, the soldiers and horses and the fierce generals were asked by Sun Quan and Sun Ce to go to Liaodong, and when Zhou Tai conquered the Wa Kingdom, Chen Heng was the vanguard.

In the second year of the Warring States Period, Chen Heng was transferred to the naval system, and last year's military reform, many parts of the military were disrupted, and Chen Heng went around and became a naval division commander under He Qi.

"Chief of Staff Zeng, you can't talk nonsense."

He Qi is very optimistic about Chen Heng, this is a fierce general, and when he fights, he is absolutely leveraged.

Although Chen Heng was Liu Heng's subordinate general before, but after so many years, Liu Xiang is now just a rich man in Wu State, and he has no influence, so he will not suspect Chen Heng's loyal ministers.

"The general misunderstood what I meant, Division Commander Chen is a fierce general, he is not a problem to conquer cities, and he is also loyal to the state of Wu, I don't doubt this, but he is too aggressive with foreign races. For the Japanese people, if there is a slight mistake, they will either fight or kill! ”

Zeng Tian said in a low voice: "The two county guards of the Waguo Island have already put forward their opinions several times, and they said that if they don't change Chen Heng. In the past few months, there have been several conflicts between the navy and the county guard of the Japanese country, and it will not be good if there is trouble with the cabinet and the military aircraft department. ”

"That's the temper of this iron pimple, it's good to replace him!"

When He Qi heard this, he was slightly stunned, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "But Lao Zeng." Do you think it would be better for us to guard the Wa Kingdom? ”

"General, I think it's better to let the fleet of the Seventh Flame Division go!"

"The Seventh Division?" He Qi thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he spit out a name: "Mi Fang? ”

"Hmm!"

Zeng Tian said in a deep voice: "Mi Fang, although he is still a little young. But his exploits were also made, even if he was promoted to the position of division commander with the assistance of his brother Mi Zhu. can't hide his ability, and he was born in a merchant family, his personality is relatively sleek, and the seventh division is also the main fleet, which can guard the southeast corner of the East China Sea. The main thing is to stabilize, stabilize these Japanese people, and integrate them into our Wu people! ”

"Good!"

He Qi thought about it for a while, and he agreed with Zeng Tian's words. "I'll give them an appointment tomorrow!" ”

"General, there are Jinyi guards outside the camp who want to see you?" At this time, a pro-soldier walked in.

"Jin Yiwei?"

He Qi's eyes were cold, although he was also from Jinyiwei, but in Wu State, few military generals were willing to have too much interaction with Jinyiwei.

"General, the Jinyi guard comes to the door, either it is a bad thing or a big thing, and you can't slack off!" Zeng Tian reminded.

"Let him in!"

"No!"

After a while, the two guards invited a middle-aged man wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife at his waist to come in.

"Eh, what kind of wind blew Lu Qianhu here!"

He Qi's gaze was certain, and his expression became solemn in an instant.

He is no stranger to the middle-aged man in front of him wearing a flying fish suit, thousands of households in Xuzhou, among the brocade guards, one of the best real power thousand households, and the road is long.

Although he is only a thousand households, he controls the information network of Xuzhou, and even He Qi has to pay three points of salute.

"General He, Lu Mou is going to the Three Treasures Hall today for nothing!"

Lu Yuan and He Qi are also old acquaintances, and when they were plotting to seize the Lang Evil, they cooperated well with each other.

"You've come to the door in person, I'm afraid it's not a small matter!"

Lu Yuan smiled indifferently, then took out a holy decree from his arms, bowed down and handed it to He Qi: "This is the secret holy decree passed to General He through the Jinyi Guard in the palace, please accept the decree!" ”

"Divine decree?"

He Qi and Zeng Tian trembled, their faces became slightly solemn, and they hurriedly bowed reverently to the holy decree in Lu Yuan's hand: "Welcome to the king!" ”

……

Half an hour later, after Lu Yuan and He Qi conspired, they left lightly.

He Qi's tall body stood in front of the huge sand table, holding a holy decree in his hand, his expression was solemn, and wisps of battle intent burst out in his eyes.

"General, why are you in such a hurry when you are the king?" Chief of Staff Zeng Tian stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Not long after the battle of Lang Evil just ended, Zang Ba is eyeing the tiger, at this time to start a war against Qingzhou, it is possible for the Flame Battalion to encourage Xiao Guan and Fenggao to oppress!" ”

"The king must have the king's consideration, the holy decree has been issued, and the fight must be beaten!"

He Qi squinted, his expression became cold, he looked outside the hall, shouted, and said: "Come on, immediately notify the Flame Third Division guarding Kaiyang, the Flame Fourth Division guarding Dongwu City, the Fifth Division Fleet on the naval side, the Sixth Division Fleet, and the Flame Eighth Division guarding Guangling, all the generals above the regimental headquarters, within one day, return to Yuzhou Mountain, convene a strategic meeting, and if you don't arrive, you will be dealt with by military law!" ”

"No!"

A guard stood outside the door and gave his hand, and then quickly left.

"General, one Qingzhou, do we actually want to use five divisions?" Zeng Tian looked a little shocked.

"It's not just five divisions!"

He Qi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The First Flame Division and the Second Flame Division of Yuzhou Mountain must be dispatched, or the cavalry regiment, bow and arrow regiment, and strong crossbow regiment directly under the Flame Battalion, all of them will be dispatched, and in this battle, if necessary, even the entire Flame Legion will be pressed up!" ”

"General, there are less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and most of them are Cai Mao's recruits, why do we need to be like this?"

Zeng Tian frowned.

"Do you think that if we move Qingzhou, we will only fight against Qingzhou's soldiers and horses?"

He Qi said coldly: "As soon as the Flame Army moves, the soldiers and horses around the entire Xuzhou will be alarmed, this is a big war, and the biggest battle between Wu and Wei has broken out in these years!" ”

How could Wei give up Qingzhou, this battle started, the entire frontier of Xuzhou will be in chaos, from Xiaoguan on the west side of Xiapi to Mount Tai on the Yanxu border, it will become a battlefield.

"The soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass go first!"

Zeng Tian took a deep breath and calmed down: "We don't have time to requisition grain and grass from the logistics department, the king's holy decree is obvious, before the end of October, we must go to war!" ”

"How much is in reserve?"

"If the whole army fights, it will take less than three days at most, which is not enough for the preparation of the Logistics Department, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the consumption of grain and grass is not simple!"

"Borrow!"

"Borrow?"

He Qi said categorically: "The military order is as big as the sky, and you can't delay the time to start the war because of the grain and grass problem, Lao Zeng, on behalf of the Flame Battalion, visit the county guards in Xuzhou, Langxi, Donghai, Xiapi, and Guangling, and pick out the grain and grass for me for five days, and there are seven or eight days of grain and grass, which is enough to support the transportation of the Domestic Logistics Division!" ”

"Subordinates understood!" Zeng Tian nodded. (To be continued......)
