Hanzhong Ju General

On the Lancang River in Yongchang County; Dozens of ships are gliding rapidly in the bay in the Moon Bay, and Zhang Shun is training thousands of sailors on the river. After a year and a half, played by Zhuge Qiao, Liu Bei successively recruited 3,000 sailors in Jingzhou and along the Yangtze River and among the remaining sailors to support the construction of the navy, and 5,000 soldiers had been hoarded in Moon Bay at this time.

The eye-catchers are the three grotesque ships moored on the water, with five sails in their bows, and logs embedded in the lower part of the bow, as if they had been used for melee strikes; The length of the hull is about 30 zhang, the height is about 10 zhang, the hull is surrounded by a female wall, and each heavy superstructure is equipped with a cabin, a female wall, and a battle grid, which is used as the support and protective facilities for the soldiers to fight. It undoubtedly shows that this is not an ordinary ship, but a warship.

There was also a young man in a white robe standing at the bow of the boat, who would it be if it wasn't Zhuge Qiao, facing the river breeze and thinking about something; Yesterday, he received an order from Liu Bei, ordering him to leave for Hanzhong on the same day to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

This is the edict he has been looking forward to, but now he is preoccupied; It turned out that Moon Bay could no longer meet the training needs of this future ocean-going navy, and it was urgent to switch to the coastal area to train the ocean-going navy in the real sense, and the treasure ship of Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty had also been broken through by Zhuge Qiao. It was already ready, but when it was about to be ready to anchor, Liu Bei's edict arrived at this time.

In desperation, Zhuge Qiao gave up this plan to garrison troops in Southeast Asia, but considering that this Northern Expedition was already a desperate gamble for Shu Han, it was almost a national army. Time must not be completed overnight, so the navy must rush to the Southeast Asian garrison port to train the ocean-going navy and build the seafaring warship at the same time, only in this way can this ocean-going navy keep up with the current development trend of Shu Han, and it cannot stay for a moment, after all, training the navy and building warships are not overnight, it may be a few years or more than ten years.

After the envoy left, for nearly three whole days, Zhuge Qiao was explaining trivial matters, discussing the construction of treasure ships with shipwrights, explaining the topography and river potential of Southeast Asia with Zhang Shun and Chen Shi, and even drawing a map of the terrain and oceans of Southeast Asia with white cloth according to his memory, and then left Chen Qi and twenty wolf teeth to escort him in case of accidents.

September of the third year of Zhang Wu; Liu Bei rushed from Chengdu to Hanzhong to join the army, preparing to point troops to the Northern Expedition, until today the Han soldiers gathered in Hanzhong have reached 200,000, a number without any exaggeration.

After Quicksand slaughtered nearly three layers of the clan forces in Yizhou, especially the clan that Quicksand chose to have a large number of mercetaries; The ensuing result is that the number of people who can be included in the county roster of Shu Han has exceeded two million so far, and the military parade has only passed, and a song "From the Army" sounded in Yizhou at this time; Many of the clans who had received the emperor's favor also formed a team of some servants from their own clan and sent them to the military camp at this time.

At this time, almost all the men who could fight in Shu Han carried their swords, responding to the "blood does not dry up, death does not truce" in "Hanshi", followed their own military camp, and waited for Liu Bei's final military order.

Among the 200,000 soldiers, there are 40,000 Jingzhou Army, 20,000 Dongzhou Army, 50,000 Hubu Army, 7,000 Seven Battalion Army, 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and 3,000 Commando Generals, except for the rest of the soldiers and horses, all of whom have been recruited in the past two years without any war; Only the 10,000 Nanban Wudang Flying Army commanded by Wang Ping and the 10,000 Nanban Wuqian Flying Army led by Liao Hua have experienced the Nanban War in the Nanban land, and they are also a strong army guaranteed by Zhuge Liang.

The newly recruited 60,000 new troops were headed by Zhao Yun, Zhang Yi, Zhang Nan, and Yuan Lin were the deputy training of the new army, and Liu Bei specially named this army "Ji Han Army" to symbolize his determination to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

As for the defense of the rear, it was backed by Shi Ma Liang, the governor of Jingzhou, and Fu Tong, the governor of Nanjun, who sat in the three counties of Jingzhou, Li Yan, who sat in Jiangzhou, and Li Hui, the governor of Nanzhong, who sat in Nanzhong, and Liu Feng, the governor of Shangyong, who sat in Shangyong; The governor of the southern county, the governor of Shangyong, and the governor of Yong'an are the four governors of the Shu Han Dynasty just set up by the Shu Han court, and they undertake the important task of defending against the enemy's invasion, but because the Northern Expedition recruited a large number of soldiers, the strength of the four governors at this time, except for the governor of the southern county, has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the rest of the governors only have thousands of soldiers. The location of Chengdu was mainly controlled by the crown prince Liu Chan, who was in charge of military affairs to Xiang Chong, assisted by Jiang Wan, Dong Yun and others, in order to deal with possible invasions everywhere.

On this day, Liu Bei gathered all the senior generals of the Northern Expedition in Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong County, to prepare for a wartime meeting to discuss the route of the Northern Expedition and the marching plan; Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others were among them, and Zhuge Qiao also led his three hundred soldiers to Nanzheng yesterday, and he was also among the generals at this time.

"I have summoned you to discuss the plan for the march of the Northern Expedition this time, I don't know if you have any proposals," Liu Beigao sat in the position of the Taishou and asked the generals.

In fact, before coming to Hanzhong, Liu Bei discussed with Zhuge Liang the route of the march and the marching plan; As for today's convocation, it is only to announce the appointment to the generals and the time of departure.

Since ancient times, there have only been three directions and five passages from Yizhou to Guanzhong. One direction is to go out of the Qinling Mountains and enter the customs. There are three valley roads in this direction, Meridian Valley, Baoxie Valley, Fuluo Valley, the valley is long and the road is dangerous, all rely on the plank road to pass, and the movement of the army is more difficult. In addition, there is a branch road in the Baoxie Valley, at the western end of the Qinling Mountains and the boundary of Longshan, it is the valley area of the upper reaches of the Jialing River, the terrain is flat, but there are two fortresses of Sanguan and Chencang located here, since Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Hanzhong, there are heavy troops to guard, it is difficult to cross lightly.

The second direction is from Hanzhong through Yangpingguan, Wudu, Qishan out of Tianshui, the road is farther, but relatively flat.

The third direction is from Hanzhong to the east, detouring to Wuguan and Lantian, this road route is too long, and close to Luoyang, the capital of Wei, is heavily guarded.

Zhuge Liang was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, courtier: And before that, it was announced that our army would go out of the Baoxie Valley to attack the Yiguo Kingdom and occupy Guanzhong, and then sent a general to carry the banner of His Majesty and lead the suspicious army out of the Kei Valley into the Baoxie Valley to attack the Yiguo, so that Cao Wei lost his judgment. After that, our army went west out of Qishan, attacked the three counties of Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding, and got in touch with the Qiang people, and then occupied Longyou, Liangzhou, to contend with Cao Wei."

[Yuan Lin, a native of Yingchuan County, entered Shu with Liu Bei in the early days, had several military exploits, and later moved to the former general, and was crowned the capital pavilion; Later, he became the general of Zhengxi and was a general in the early and middle period of the Shu Han Dynasty. 】
