The news from Zhuge Liang said: Sun Ren has returned to the Wucheng Hou Mansion, and now the Wucheng Hou Mansion is in the Wu Cheng Hou Mansion. Zhang Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the news. When the two armies were fighting, what he was most worried about was that Sun Ren was in the midst of the chaos, in that case, life and death would be unpredictable, and now that she had returned to the Wucheng Hou Mansion, she naturally didn't have to worry about her safety.

Zhang Lang was in a good mood, but when he thought of Ma Chao's matter, he couldn't help but worry. A day ago, a message came from Yuzhou, saying that although Hua Tuo had operated on Ma Chao, Ma Chao was still unconscious, and the situation was getting worse and worse. Zhang Lang was really worried about Ma Chao's safety.

After thinking about it, he ordered Dong Ying to send someone to send an order to Zhuge Liang, asking him to temporarily hand over the affairs of Jingzhou to Zhang Liao, and immediately come over to preside over military affairs. Dong Ying took the order and left.

A few days later, Zhuge Liang came to the Dingfengjin camp, saw Zhang Lang, and immediately bowed. At this time, all the generals in the big tent were there, and Zhang Lang specially summoned all the generals here.

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Kong Ming has worked hard all the way!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Not bitter, not bitter!" But the lord is the real hard work! In this almost a year, the generals have fought in all directions, and they have really worked hard! The generals humbled themselves.

Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Does Kong Ming know why I summoned you over?" ”

Kong Ming smiled and lowered his head and said, "My subordinates are stupid, how can I expect the mind of the lord!" Zhang Lang said angrily: "You guys, you guys were so straightforward back then, but now they have become cautious!" Zhuge Liang smiled, shook his head and said, "Shame, shame!" ”

"That's it! I am in such a hurry to recruit you so urgently to let you take charge of the military affairs of the entire Yuzhou instead of me! You and Wenhe, one south and one north, hold the front for me! ”

Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and promised.

Zhang Lang glanced at the generals, "From today onwards, Zhuge Liang will no longer serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, but will be reappointed as the governor of Yuzhou, and all the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou will be under his control!" Kong Ming's order is my order, and I have the right to cut it first and then play it, and I don't want anyone to dare to disobey his order! Do you understand everything? The generals agreed in unison, and then met with Zhuge Liang, the governor of Yuzhou.

Zhang Lang stood up, walked in front of Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile: "With Kong Ming guarding here, I can sit back and relax." I'll leave here tomorrow and return to Luoyang. Kong Ming and I have a good talk tonight. Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and promised.

……

In the night, Zhang Lang and Zhuge Liang sat in the big tent with a lamp and drank each other, and there was no one else in the big tent except for him. After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Lang put down his wine glass and said with some emotion: "The scene of the battle against Dong Zhuo is still vivid, but there are few of those old people left now!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The world is in chaos, and the heroes are competing for the world." Now that the sand and gravel have been exhausted, only three heroes remain. Zhang Lang picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhang Lang and continued: "In my opinion, the world is already in the hands of the lord!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and shook his head, "Not necessarily! Needless to say, the Sun family is still very strong. Our army can have an advantage on land, but it is really vulnerable on the water. Now the Cao family turtle is behind the big river, and Yanzhou, the only one that is not blocked by waterways, is heavily guarded! It is difficult for our army to do something! In time, the Cao family will regain its vitality, and I don't know when I will be able to dominate the world! Moreover, although we have a wide territory now, most places have only experienced wars, and they are in ruins, which will not provide help in the short term, but will consume our strength; Although our army has a large number of men and horses, our stall is too big, and the Xianbei people in the Western Regions have to involve us with a lot of experience! The Xianbei people are fine with civil strife now, but if the civil strife ends, I am afraid that the northern Xinjiang will not be at peace, and it will be impossible to concentrate on agreeing to the mountains and rivers! ”

Zhuge Liang said with admiration: "What the lord said is extremely true, the general trend of the world has been seen through by the lord!" ”

Zhang Lang waved his hand and dried the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, "Kong Ming, you are my military advisor, you have to give me a countermeasure!" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "In fact, today's Cao family relies on all water army!" If the navy is not there, what does the lord think? ”

Zhang Lang joked: "Could it be that Kong Ming can wipe out the nearly 200,000 sailors?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "My subordinates don't have such ability, but some people do." ”

"Who?

"Mrs. Cai."

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, then understood, nodded and said, "Kong Ming wants to lobby Cai Mao!" I'm afraid it's not easy! Zhuge Liang smiled: "My subordinates thought they could give it a try." Zhang Lang nodded. Zhuge Liang said: "It's better to take a detour to Xiangyang and meet Mrs. Cai." Have a good talk with her. It is better for Mrs. Cai to write a handwritten letter and then send a family member to lobby Cai Mao. In this way, the certainty of success will be a few points more! ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "Okay! That's it! However, we can't pin our hopes on others, and it's time to start building warships and forming our own naval army. I have already thought about allocating more than half of the money seized from Xuchang to form a naval army. ”

Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "The lord is wise!" However, the most important thing in forming a naval army is the general, I don't know if there is a candidate for the lord? ”

Zhang Lang said: "Huang Zhong was born in Jingxiang, and he has a dabbling in water warfare, I want to let him be the governor of this naval army first, I don't know what Kong Ming thinks?" ”

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Although Huang Zhong is also available, it is not very suitable, besides, if Huang Zhong serves as the governor of the navy, who should the hussar army be handed over?" ”

Zhang Lang asked, "What does Kong Ming think he should do?" ”

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said: "If the lord can be trusted, it is better to let his subordinates temporarily act as the governor of the navy." ”

Zhang Lang asked unexpectedly, "Kong Ming knows the method of water warfare?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Don't dare to be humble, my subordinates ask themselves that their water warfare attainments are not under Jiangdong Zhou Lang." ”

Zhang Lang was overjoyed, "Great! In this case, let's bother Kong Ming to take on the position of the governor! Zhuge Liang hurriedly left the table and bowed: "The subordinates will not disgrace their mission!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and nodded, "Come on, come on, sit down, let's continue to drink and talk." Zhuge Liang responded, stood up, returned to the table, and said: "After the navy is formed, the most important thing is training. The subordinates thought that the training site could be set up in the Yellow River near Luoyang. Set up a water village and drill sergeants, I believe that you can get a working water army within a year. Zhang Lang nodded, and thought: "I'll let Yueying be responsible for the construction of the water village." Zhuge Liang smiled: "Miss Huang is worthy of this position!" ”
