Chapter 935: Reinforcement of the Xuzhou Defense Line

"I really didn't expect that I, Zhang He, always thought that the cavalry and infantry under His Majesty were the best in the world, and I didn't expect that this time I saw the navy under His Majesty's command, it was also the best in the world. My Zhao State has such a strong army, why worry about the world is not unified, happy, happy. After seeing these water armies, Zhang He was the first to show a shocked look, and couldn't help but sigh. Zhang He can also be regarded as a person who has seen the world, from the original Yuan Shao, who was in charge of the Euphorbia, who had seen the first death of Lu Yi, and the white horse of Gongsun Zhan. Later, he fought with Cao Cao, put himself under Cao Cao, and saw the tiger and leopard cavalry and Qingzhou soldiers. Also, when Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought a decisive battle, Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

At that time, Zhang He always thought that those troops were already the best in the world, but when he fought with Zhao Jun. Zhang He realized his mistakes and ignorance, and what Zhang He never expected was that all the best arms in the world were lurking in the Zhao army. The White Tiger Cavalry, the Blue Dragon Cavalry, the Trap Camp, the Special Battalion, the Bow and Crossbow Battalion, plus the Sailor Battalion seen today.

Just look at these military camps, plus the civil and military generals and ministers of Zhao State, the generals are loyal and brave, the ministers are extremely wise, Your Majesty governs the country strictly, is kind and loves the people, and the entire army and the people are united. Zhang He knew that Zhao State's domination of the world was only a matter of time. Now the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, in the face of Zhao's step-by-step pressing, are unwilling to sneak attack and resist tenaciously, just wanting to be emperors for a few more days, but causing many people to suffer.

After Zhang He sighed, Zhang Xiu also sighed: "What a mighty navy, I'm afraid these warships look at the whole world, except for our Zhao State, there are absolutely no such domineering warships in other countries." Then, as if he had seen something, Zhang Xiu hurriedly raised his hand and pointed to something not far away, and asked Gan Ning: "General Gan Ning, what is that kind of battle flag, why have I never seen it." ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhang Xiu's finger, but saw that the object Zhang Xiu was pointing at just now was the closest building ship to everyone, and the battle flag fluttering on the bow of the ship. The animal embroidered on the battle flag is indeed a strange dragon, the emperor has always worshiped dragons and tigers, and everyone has seen many dragons, but this kind of dragon, everyone has never seen or heard of it.

It's not so much a dragon as a dragon beast, and a pair of wings that are big enough to be on. Hearing that everyone asked about the meaning of this dragon, Gan Ning couldn't help but laugh loudly, and then said to everyone: "This is the dragon and beast battle flag specially designed by His Majesty for our water camp, this is Ying Long, Ying Long is the dragon of a thousand years, good at raising clouds and making rain The dragon, legend has it that when Dayu ruled the water, Ying Long's tail drew a river on the ground to lead water into the sea. To do this should be the dragon battle flag, symbolizing that our army is blessed by the gods and beasts of the sky, and it can be said that it is like a fish in water in the rivers and seas. ”

"Your Majesty named the name of the beast, not only praising the auspiciousness of our navy, but also praising the bravery of the navy. The cavalry in the army has the White Tiger Cavalry and the Green Dragon, and among the infantry, there are trap camps and special battalions, and in our naval camp, the Ying Long Naval Army is the Naval Army. When Gan Ning finished speaking, his expression couldn't help but show extraordinary pride and excitement. And after hearing Gan Ning's explanation, everyone couldn't help but be even more surprised when they heard that these were all from His Majesty's mouth.

Gan Ning's voice lagged behind, and the ghost plot Cheng Yu was the first to speak and exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that Your Majesty is not only both civil and military, but also has such a mind, and is also superhuman in terms of unique design, which really makes me unreachable." ”

For Cheng Yu, who fought several battles with Zhao Jun, every time he mentioned that Zhao Yu relied on a small number of manpower to lure and capture Chen Liucheng in Yanzhou. With hundreds of people, he resisted the joint attack of himself and General Xiahoudun, which can be said to be something that Cheng Yu couldn't believe in his life, but since this incident happened, it has also become a secret in Cheng Yu's heart. For this secret, Cheng Yu has never mentioned it to anyone, with the capture of the Zhao army this time, Cheng Yu also took Zhao Yu and the entire Zhao State admired the five-body surrender, especially after joining the Zhao Army, seeing the unity of the army and the people of Zhao State, as well as Zhao Yu's means of governing Zhao State, which further deepened Cheng Yu's sincerity. Of course, for this point, it is also the sincerity of the other generals.

Although this time although he was going to Xuzhou to defend against the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu, because the land of Xuzhou was originally defended by Zhao Yu arranged in advance. Therefore, this time Gan Ning did not lead too many soldiers and horses, but only led 100,000 horses, including 60,000 soldiers and horses of the navy, and a total of 40,000 other crossbowmen and special battalions. With these 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, it is enough for Jia Xu to command and dispatch. With Jia Xu, Gan Ning and others sitting in Xuzhou, Zhao Yu can rest assured and bold, or in other words, he can send troops to Yizhou without any worries, and he doesn't have to worry about the fire in the rear garden.

Almost the same as Gan Ning's actions, when he learned that Zhao Yu was going to send troops to the battle, all the generals and ministers in Jizhou came to ask for help. Every day, just the people who came to ask for help almost broke through Zhao Yu's threshold, so Zhao Yu had to post a notice that all the applicants were hand-picked by Guo Jia when they went out. In this way, everyone was turned away and all the trouble was pushed to Guo Jia, Guo Jia, who has always liked quietness, never thought that one day there would be countless familiar faces and step into the city. At first, Guo Jia was puzzled, but when everyone spoke, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly sighed in his heart that His Majesty was too cunning, he had never been on the Tao in his life, and this time he actually fell in His Majesty's way.

Some of these people who came to apply for the job were strong and had enough ability, while some were mediocre, but they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show their ambitions. In the hearts of many people, they are still very confident in the strength of Zhao State, and most people know that this time His Majesty personally led the army to conquer in person, and the probability of victory was almost eight or ninety percent higher. In this way, as long as you are lucky enough to participate in this campaign, it is equivalent to hanging the title of winner, and you can win some credit. With this credit, you can definitely be promoted to a half-official position, you must know that you usually stay in the city, if you don't have any major contributions, if you want to be promoted, it is even more difficult. Because of this, many people turn their attention to this expedition, but some of them want to use this expedition to show themselves to others, and perhaps this will also be a turning point in everyone's life.

Naturally, there are a lot of people who came to apply this time, and they have various identities, big and small, but in the face of everyone's invitation, Guo Jia just worked hard in an instant, and he had a predetermined candidate. However, in this case, it is inconvenient to say it in public, after all, although he has the ability to propose and recommend, the final decision must be made by His Majesty.

I only heard Guo Jia say to everyone immediately: "Generals and ministers, this expedition to the land of Yizhou is not child's play. You are loyal to my Zhao country, Guo Jia naturally keeps it in mind, presumably all of this will be seen by His Majesty in his heart. So today, I also ask you to go back for the time being, let Guo Jia think about it, and when there is a suitable candidate, Guo Jia will naturally inform His Majesty that in the next court, His Majesty will read out the candidates to participate in the conquest of Yizhou. ”

As soon as Guo Jia said this, everyone had no rebuttal, and after saying goodbye to Guo Jia, they dispersed. After seeing that everyone was gone, Guo Jiacai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced that he had solved these headaches in front of him so quickly.

After everyone left, I saw a woman take out a cloak from the house, walked over and gently draped it on Guo Jia's body, and said softly: "I'm afraid that this time my husband is going to offend a lot of people." The woman looked at Guo Jia with a wry smile on her face, and continued: "But this is also a matter of no choice, who called my husband wise, it is my Zhao Jun's brain, even His Majesty called his husband the wisdom of ghosts back then." "This woman is none other than Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Qin'er. Since Zhao Qin'er followed Guo Jia, she has gradually changed from her original arrogant personality to everyone's beauty. In the process of growing up, there is also a touch of tenderness, if you use the love of men and women, this Zhao Qin'er was impressed by Guo Jia.

Hearing the praise and admiration of Mrs. Zhao Qin'er, Guo Jia hurriedly shook her head and said, "Alas, don't say that, madam, husband's intelligence is also limited." I think that among my Zhao country, there are people who have both talents and are not weaker than their husbands and gentlemen, and there are many people. And when the Zhao State is gradually growing, Fujun is also gradually facing all kinds of masters and strong enemies, the vast sea of people, it is really a gathering of masters, there are people outside the people, and there are heavens outside the sky. ”

"Hmph, I don't care how good others are, in short, in my heart, my husband is the smartest one." Zhao Qin'er suddenly showed a happy smile and said: "Brother, he is the number one military general in the world, a silver gun, a jade lion, and a green sword in his hand, almost no one in the world is invincible." And husband, you are the world's first think tank, and you can see the enemy's movements in a sand table in the camp, and you can break millions of enemies between talking and laughing. With the two of you, one scholar and one martial arts, to assist His Majesty in taking care of the country, why worry about the uncertain world. If you want me to say, your majesty is really blessed to meet you. ”

After hearing Zhao Qin'er's words, Guo Jia hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him: "Madame, don't say that, although in Madame's eyes, my brother is strong in martial arts and Guo Jia is wise, but don't underestimate our Majesty." Imagine which of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others was not a man of civil and military affairs, but these princes were less than one ten-thousandth of His Majesty's. Compared with other princes, our majesty is not only wise and martial, but also has outstanding intelligence, and sometimes even Guo Jia sighs to himself. ”
