In the first year of Yongluo, at the beginning of July, the situation was on the verge of breaking out, and 200,000 Tianci troops entered Hanoi County and set up camp in the open space around Huai County. As for whether the 100,000 troops on the Xiliang side will be put into the battlefield, it is still unknown for the time being. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After receiving accurate information from Hanoi, the Luoyang coalition army naturally could not sit idly by, and hundreds of thousands of vanguard troops immediately drove to Mengjin Port, intending to block the Tianci army from landing on the Yellow River. The vanguard commander of this expedition was appointed by Liu Xuan, the son of heaven, and for some reason, Liu Xuan actually let the national thief Dong Zhuo serve as the vanguard commander!

What a sinister intention!

You must know that the first wave of princes who withstood the attack of the Heavenly Sent Army suffered extremely heavy losses. Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the vanguard this time, more than half of them are Dong Zhuode's troops. It seems that the appointment of Dong Zhuo as the commander is worthy of the name, but the question is, if Dong Zhuo can defeat Liu Tai, will he still need the princes of the alliance?

It is worth mentioning that this time the alliance of princes fought a decisive battle with Liu Tai, and no alliance leader was elected, and it was not even mentioned! In the end, he couldn't stand it, and as the Son of Heaven, Liu Miao could only take off the handsome seal in person and sit in the position of the commander of the million-strong army. Of course, everyone in the world knows in their hearts that Liu Xuan's real ability to mobilize troops is only 100,000 Yanzhou soldiers.

Shortly after the alliance troops entered the port of Mengjin, the naval division of the Tianci Army, which had entered the Yellow River from the mouth of the sea, under the command of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qinde, also arrived at the port outside Huaixian. 60,000 sailors drove thousands of warships on the Yellow River, which can be described as covering the sky!

"Brother, this time His Highness asked my sailor to participate in the war, and my sailor has to show it well." I saw that Zhou Tai was wearing blue armor, and his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light. As we all know, the combat effectiveness of the sailor on land is not comparable to that of the foot soldier at all, but in Zhou Tai's opinion, the sailor is not weaker than any foot soldier at all, and even in terms of morale, it is better than the foot soldier!

Of course, at present, this is just Zhou Tai's wishful thinking, after all, the sailor infantry only fought on the battlefield of Wadao, and compared with the Wa people and the Han army, there is a world of difference in all aspects, it is not worth mentioning at all, not to mention the world-famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Danyang soldiers are also in the alliance of the princes! "You, don't think about whether you have it or not, the civil war is currently speaking, and it is not our turn to play the sailor." Jiang Qin looked at Zhou Tai's confident face, and couldn't help but say something. Jiang Qin was much more rational than Zhou Tai, and understood that on this Yellow River, the sailor could not perform at all! Perhaps, in the future, there will be a place for use on the Yangtze River.

"Brother, we're here!" With a squint of his eyes, Zhou Tai saw a lively scene not far ahead, only to see hundreds of people piled up at the entrance to the port, looking at the direction of the naval battleship, with a look of horror in his eyes!

"Hum... Airplanes.... Hum..."

Three huge bronze bells rang, which was a reminder to the heavenly army in the port that the sailor troops had arrived at the port, and in fact, there was no need to notify them at all. As early as when the troops of the Naval Division entered the Yellow River within the boundaries of Hanoi County, the port of Huai County had already received the news. After all, the scope of the intelligence force of the Tianci Army is very large.

Needless to say, on a tall tower outside the port, this tower is naturally also a novelty, and it is Liu Tai who ordered the coastal port to build a watchtower. The main function of the watchtower is to see the ships passing on the river, distinguish whether they are friends or enemies, and if they are enemies, they can light beacon smoke and notify the defending troops to assemble and defend the port as soon as possible.

At this time, as the God King, Liu Tai stood on the tower, holding a black cylinder in his hand, looking at the troops of the Water Division under his command. In order to build this large-scale naval division army in front of him, Liu Tai has to pay tens of thousands of catties of gold every year, which is not a small amount.

Why?

Before the launch of the landing on Wajima, the role of the naval division was too small and too small, and the Tianci army had elite cavalry troops in the road war, and infantry troops in the siege war, while the naval division could only watch from the sidelines, and its usefulness was extremely limited, and it became a veritable transport force.

Of course, at this time, the troops of the Deshui Division changed their old appearance, although their combat strength was not necessarily comparable to that of infantry and cavalry troops, but in terms of obtaining gold, silver, and slaves for northern Xinjiang, it was absolutely incomparable with infantry and cavalry troops. According to official statistics, in just one year in the first year of the first peace, the sailor troops obtained gold and silver ore from Wajima, nearly thousands of tons!! (It's not so terrifying after purification, don't think about it) "Fengxiao, shouldn't you give the sailor a special name, how about calling it the Money Fleet?" The corners of his mouth grinned, and he recalled the mountains of gold and silver raw ore in the Huacheng Mineral Processing Factory, and Liu Tai could wake up with a smile when he slept. With this money, at least for a few years, there will not be any economic crisis in northern Xinjiang!

"The Fleet of Money??" The skin was pulled, Guo Jia couldn't help but roll his eyes, how could any country give regular troops such a name? Isn't that a joke? Of course, as a courtier, Guo Jia naturally couldn't sweep Liu Tai's interest, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he replied to Liu Tai: "The lord is talented, in Jia's opinion, why don't you add a large money banner next to my Northern Xinjiang Dragon Banner?" ”

"Oh??" As soon as his eyes lit up, a scene suddenly appeared in Liu Tai's mind, that is, a huge banner of money, floating in all seas of the world, wantonly robbing those blacks and whites.

"Hahaha good, great, Fengxiao is worthy of the name of the ghost, just do it according to your ideas, and then my northern Xinjiang water division troops, collectively known as the money fleet, are designed for my Han Dynasty to plunder the foreign thief state!" I saw Liu Tai laugh a few times, patted Guo Jia's shoulder and said loudly.

"Stupid, Guo Jia looked at Liu Tai's inphysia and looked completely stupid, originally Guo Jia just said it casually, so that Liu Tai understood that the vulgar title of the money fleet would cause bad consequences, but I didn't think that Liu Tai actually wanted to be crooked, this

"No!!" Helplessly bowed to Liu Tai and responded to the order, how can Guo Jianeng be? The courtiers also have the courtiers to suffer, and they can interrupt the king's ideas at will, and if they cause any trouble, then the son will be sad.

However, with Guo Jiade's intelligence, he did not expect that just a few years later, the money fleet, under the command of another famous sailor, sailed the seas in all directions, spreading the prestige of the Han Dynasty to the fullest, and rarely encountered any effective resistance when the infantry landed in the subsequent battle

"Your Highness, the two generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are here!" Ma Chao, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was responsible for guarding Liu Tai's safety, stepped forward with a solemn expression and shouted softly at Liu Tai. With that respectful demeanor, I really can't see Ma Chao's arrogant appearance not long ago!

Ma Chao is scared! I'm scared of being beaten! Really!

When he first arrived in Huacheng, Ma Chao was not afraid, and he took his little sister Ma Yunlu to play Huacheng all over, but when he was arranged to study at the Military Academy and entered the palace Jinyiwei, Ma Chao's tragic life came!

Ma Chao is still a child, fourteen or fifteen years old.

It is equivalent to saying that Ma Chao's martial arts have not yet reached the peak of his life!

But the problem is, there are still strong people like Xu Chu and Zhang Fei in the palace, although Ma Chao, a little fierce horse, is strong in martial arts, how can it be the opponent of Xu Chu and Zhang Fei? Even if he can make a hundred moves, the problem is that Ma Chao's physical strength is not as good as Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, so in the end, it will always be Ma Chao who is unlucky

For a long time, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu have been under the "friendship care", and now Ma Chao can be said to be as obedient as he is, seeing Xu Chu and Zhang Fei, he almost immediately spared the road, and those who brought arrogance from Xiliang were completely beaten to Africa. When Liu Tai knew about this situation, Liu Tai, who wanted to reuse Ma Chao, did not waste any more time, and handed over the vacancy left by Zhao Yun after leaving to Ma Chao, which shows how high Liu Tai's expectations for Ma Chao are

"Well, let them in, and you can stay too." Nodding, seeing Ma Chao's solemn and serious look, Liu Tai was very satisfied, it stands to reason that although Ma Chao was a major commander soon after entering Northern Xinjiang, he was not qualified to stay, but Liu Tai was loyal in order to buy Ma Chao, so he naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

At this time, it was not only Ma Chao who was guarding Liu Tai on the tower, but also Xu Chu and Zhang Fei, in fact, with Xu Chu and Zhang Fei's qualifications, they should have led an army by themselves a long time ago, but the problem is that so far Liu Tai has not found a suitable army for the two to command, and Jinyi Wei is also indispensable Zhang Fei and Xu Chu

"No!!" Glancing at Xu Chu and Zhang Fei who were guarding the left and right sides of the tower, Ma Chao couldn't help but pull his face, and then walked to the location of the corridor, which was in a triangular position, guarding Liu Tai in the middle.

In fact, there is no need to trouble Liu Tai's guards at all, because with Liu Tai's current ability, there is no need for any guards at all, which is completely redundant! But because of Liu Tai's status as the god king, no one dared to despise it, even if Liu Tai asked many times that he didn't need so many brocade guards to guard him, but none of those ministers agreed.

After a while, from the top up, you can see that there are two big men in the corridor, and the big man walks up the corridor on the left and right, and soon overtakes Ma Chao, and comes not far behind Liu Tai, without the slightest hesitation, he bows to Liu Tai and says: "The last general Zhou Tai (Jiang Qin) has seen His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

"Get up" A slightly ethereal voice came out of Liu Tai's mouth, and Liu Tai didn't turn around at all, and said with his back to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. This look is like a god in the sky.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin glanced at each other, and then stood up without saying a word, bowing their heads, and looked like they were waiting for orders. He didn't say anything, which was the etiquette that a courtier should maintain when he saw the monarch.

"Youping, six years have passed in a flash, I don't know what you think of today?" After waiting for a few minutes, the silent atmosphere was finally interrupted by Liu Tai on his own initiative, only to see that Liu Tai was still facing away from Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and said lightly.

Frowning slightly, Zhou Tai felt a little cold sweat break out of his fists. What does Liu Tai mean by this? Six years? Six years ago, Zhou Tai was still a bandit, and with Zhou Tai's knowledge, what unique insights can he have on the general trend of the world?

"His Royal Highness the God King has made great achievements, and he should call the emperor to pardon the people in fire and water as soon as possible." Although he was very nervous and didn't understand what Liu Taide meant, Zhou Tai still racked his brains to say a panacea.

"Oh flamboyance!" Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Tai turned around to look at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, only to see that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have been trained for five or six years, and now they look a lot more mature, at least they are wearing armor, like a general who rules thousands of armies!

"Jiang Qin, you have to think a lot, can you tell the widow what is the direction of the future development of the water master?" Turning his head to look at Jiang Qin, Liu Tai asked out loud. In fact, the reason why Liu Tai asked these words was to choose a leader from between Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, well, in fact, it was the governor of the entire water division.

Although the scale of the water division is huge, there are no top generals, although Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are both water generals, but the problem is that at present, it is difficult for these two people to sit in the position of the governor of the capital.

Liu Tai has always had a best candidate for the Governor of the Naval Division in his heart, but this did not give Liu Tai any chance, so Liu Tai could only temporarily give up this idea and select one of the four commanders of the Naval Division to serve as the Metropolitan Governor. In terms of seniority, Tang Cheng and Shui Yin are both above Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and they are more suitable for promotion to the position of Grand Governor.

But the problem is that Tang Cheng and Mercury's ability is really limited, and they can only fight some decent wars, and they rarely have their own unique combat ideas, which makes Liu Tai very dissatisfied, very dissatisfied!

Sometimes even if he is dissatisfied, Liu Tai can't say anything, unless the two make a big mistake, otherwise, Liu Tai really can't bear to revoke these two veterans, but the position of the majority governor has nothing to do with this veteran, and he can only choose between Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin!

"Occupy the whole territory of Wajima!" Jiang Qin raised his head and looked at Liu Tai with a glittering look in his eyes. In Jiang Qin's view, the occupation of the entire territory of Wadao will bring countless benefits to northern Xinjiang, the most obvious of which is that Wadao is extremely rich in gold and silver raw ore.

"What else?" Frowning, Jiang Qin didn't see it, and when Liu Tai heard that he had occupied the entire territory of Wadao, a look of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. The entire territory of Wadao must be occupied, but the problem is that Jiang Qinnai is a general of the naval division, and he is the general who is most likely to become the governor of the capital.

"Use Wadao as a springboard to attack the Northeast Yi Kingdom, as well as Qingzhou and other Central Plains regions." After finishing speaking, a burst of cold air appeared on Jiang Qin's forehead, and for some reason, Jiang Qin felt that he was chilled! What's even more frightening is that the source of this coldness is from Liu Tai in front!

Liu Tai is angry, really angry, a member of the world praised as a general, his eyes are so superficial! But after thinking about it in my heart, it is also right, how do the Chinese people in this era know what Europe is and what Africa is? How is it possible to hit the target over there?

reacted to Liu Tai's relief, but he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, that is, Jiang Qin had many ideas, and he had always regarded the naval fleet as an inland river force, without any pioneering ideas, and he was really unmotivated.

Not only Jiang Qin found that Liu Tai was dissatisfied, but Zhou Tai, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu and others on the side all found out, and looked at Liu Tai with frowns one by one, in their opinion, there was no problem with Jiang Qin's words, how could Liu Tai be angry, is it necessary to be angry?

Shaking his head, feeling the gaze of everyone, Liu Tai decided in his heart that it was necessary to give a vivid geography lesson to the generals of Northern Xinjiang, if the generals of Northern Xinjiang and the people still have their consciousness staying in the inherent land of China, then sooner or later, they will still be enslaved by foreign people, which is something that Liu Tai resolutely does not want to see!

"Gong Yi, do you know, among the princes in Luoyang City not far away, there is already a prince who is thinking about overseas, and this place probably shouldn't be called overseas, after all, it is also a land that was sealed by our Chinese ancestors." Shaking his head, Liu Tai tried his best to soften his tone and said to Jiang Qin. Teaching certain knowledge also has to be done step by step, and it is not something that can be completed at one time.

"Oh? What does the lord mean?? Jiang Qin raised his head, frowned at Liu Tai, and asked a little puzzled. Although Jiang Qin is a native of Jiujiang, Yizhou is located outside Shanyue after all, and few people will pay attention to it or inquire about it.

"Yizhou!" Liu Tai squinted his eyes and said loudly. What is Yizhou Island, in this era, no one knows better than Liu Tai, in fact, a long time ago, Liu Tai had already touched his hand to Yizhou Island, but unfortunately, the sailor's navigation ability has not met Liu Tai's thoughts, so it will be delayed again and again, and it has been delayed until now!

"Yizhou??" Almost at the same time, the generals present couldn't help but shout. What is Yizhou? These generals really don't have any memory! Of course, except for Guo Jia, don't you see Guo Jia grinning beside him?

"The Yizhou that the lord refers to is a big island off the coast of Shanyue?" Jiang Qin squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked Liu Tai with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Exactly!" Liu Tai nodded, a little satisfied, the general of the Navy Division under the command of the expiration of the term still knew that there was a Yizhou, otherwise it would be too disappointed for Liu Tai. Then Liu Tai continued: "Yizhou Island is rich in products, there are many natives on the island, and the tribes have been fighting between them for many years, but no matter what, these tribes have always respected me and recognized them as descendants of China, so Yangzhou Mu Liu Bei is ready to occupy Yizhou at this time, if it weren't for the limited navigation ability of the sailors, how could the widow watch Yizhou Island fall into the hands of Liu Bei'er?" ”
