Because Liu Xun had swept away the rogue in the territory, vigorously suppressed the power of the powerful landlords, and distributed land to poor peasants, this series of measures had won the support of the people of Yizhou.

As soon as the news of the expansion of the Yizhou Navy Division came out, many people came to sign up. Liu Xun asked Gan Ning to be fully responsible for the work of the water division, which is called employing people without suspicion, and suspects do not need to be used.

Of course, most of the Jinfan thieves under Gan Ning in the past regathered under Gan Ning's command and became the Yizhou sailor.

The number of these sail thieves is not much, only five or six hundred.

All of this, of course, can't escape Liu Xun's ears and eyes, but he doesn't care.

In a sense, these are all expected by Liu Xun, and they are exactly what he wants.

Recruiting water liukou to form a sailor is not Liu Xun's initiative, in fact, there is a precedent.

In the 16th century, Portugal was the most powerful colonial power in the world, with the world's largest fleet "Invincible Armada". But such an invincible fleet was beaten to pieces by a rabble of pirates recruited by the British.

What is the combat power of Gan Ning's group of water robbers, Liu Xunzheng will wait and see.

Soon, the sailor quickly expanded to 20,000 horses.

With the addition of the original 10,000 sailors, there are 30,000 people in total. Liu Xun ordered to vigorously build ships and prepare to go down the Yangtze River to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

For this purpose, an enlarged military conference was specially held, which was attended by about 1,000 people, which was also the first of its kind in this era.

Under normal circumstances, when a prince is preparing to attack another prince, it is known to a few people such as his core generals and strategists, and there are few practices like Liu Xun.

Liu Xun not only let Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Yan Yan, Gan Ning, Xu Huang and other henchmen participate, but also let a large number of middle-level generals attend the meeting, and let everyone speak freely regardless of their positions.

"At present, the world is in chaos, and the princes are fighting. If we don't take the initiative to attack in Yizhou, it will be a matter of time before we are attacked by others. The closest to our Yizhou is Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Everyone spoke freely, to see if it was better to attack Zhang Lu or Liu Biao? Liu Xun first made a leading speech.

"Liu Biao of Jingzhou, who is also a royal prince, ignored the feelings of the same clan and took in the rebellious Liu Xian in Yizhou. I think that we have just expanded the Yizhou Naval Division, and we should go down the river and attack Jingzhou", Gan Ning generously stated, "Attacking Jingzhou, Gan Ning would rather be the vanguard." ”

"The subordinates also agree to attack Jingzhou, Liu Biao is mediocre and incompetent, but he boasts of being a famous man in the world, and it is time for Jingzhou to change its master." It was a sailor general under Gan Ning who spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates think that they should attack Hanzhong Zhang Lu first. From the point of view of strength, Liu Biao is strong, Zhang Lu is weak, attack Liu Biao, in case of a long time can not be attacked, then Zhang Lu will come to attack us again, and it is easy to fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen", it was Xu Huang who said this.

"Liu Biao's Jingzhou sailors, except for the sailors of Jiangdong Sun Ce, I haven't heard of any princes' sailors who can match them, and I am afraid it is inappropriate to attack rashly", Zhang Song's forehead tightened.

"I heard that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the commanders of Jingzhou's sailors, are good at training soldiers, and Jingzhou's sailors are the best in the world, and the lord must act carefully", it was an inconspicuous army general who said this.

"Jingzhou Sailor, maybe stronger than our Yizhou Sailor, as long as the lord gives me half a year, I will be able to train an invincible sailor," Gan Ning said proudly.

"If the lord really wants to attack Jingzhou, his subordinates have an idea, we might as well join forces with Jiangdong Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou together. As long as we declare that Jingzhou will be divided equally after the matter is completed, Sun Ce may agree. "The one who said this was tired of being an official.

"Wang Ti's words are reasonable, Jiangdong Sun Ce has a grudge against Liu Biao for killing his father, and if he joins him to attack Jingzhou, the possibility of success is greater," said an unknown army general.

"Jingzhou's geographical location is very delicate, at present, the forces of all parties are in a balance, once this balance is broken, even if we win Jingzhou, we will immediately have to go to war with Sun Ce, maybe it will attract Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's generation to fight. Jingzhou has no natural dangers to defend, even if we win Jingzhou, I'm afraid the situation is not very good", Fa Zhengdao.

……

This is the advantage of collective discussion, where you can fully listen to the opinions of all parties and then analyze them comprehensively.

Hearing everyone's various discussions, Liu Xun asked someone to sort out everyone's speeches, and after some analysis, he secretly gathered Zhang Songfazheng and other strategists and Xu Huang and other confidant generals for a small meeting, and finally had an idea.

"Judging from the current situation, although the number of our sailors in Yizhou is large, they lack training, and they rashly start a war with the Jingzhou Navy Army, and the chances of victory are not great."

"Hanzhong is higher than Yizhou, if we don't take it, after being obtained by other princes, our Yizhou's natural danger will lose part of its barrier."

"I mean, on the one hand, we secretly connected with Sun Ce and agreed to attack Jingzhou together, and at the same time, we made a big fanfare, trained sailors, and made the illusion of preparing to attack Jingzhou. On the other hand, the army quietly opened out of Jiameng Pass and attacked Hanzhong unknowingly, what do you think of this strategy? Liu Xun synthesized the opinions of all parties and put forward his own ideas.

"Good plan, the lord is called Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang, attacking Zhang Lu, and if successful, we can occupy Hanzhong, which greatly enhances our strength. Even if it fails, as long as you send a brave general to guard the Jiameng Pass, one husband will be the pass, and ten thousand people will not be opened", Zhang Rendao said.

"However, Gan Ning should take advantage of this time to train the sailors, on the one hand, to prevent Liu Biao's Jingzhou sailors from attacking. On the other hand, it is also about preparing early. As soon as Hanzhong is defeated, we can wave our army and take Jingzhou directly. ”

"Sun Ce's attack on Jingzhou just restrained Liu Biao for us and allowed us to concentrate on Hanzhong. By the time Sun Ce and Liu Biao were defeated and found out, we had already won Hanzhong", Zhang Song said.

"The lord has a great plan, so let Sun Ce take the chestnut in the fire for us", Fa Zhengdao.

"Well, during this time, I have been vigorously building ships and training sailors on the other. If Liu Biao's sailor doesn't come to commit it, forget it, if he dares to do it, he will be told to return with a feather," Gan Ning also agreed.

Liu Xun immediately assigned the matter one by one, and Fazheng Zhang Song and others went to prepare by themselves.

For a time, the Yizhou army sharpened its knives and waited for it.

Gan Ning's sailors trained in the Sichuan River all day long, shouting earth-shattering and murderous.

A large number of craftsmen worked day and night, alternating to build warships, creating the illusion that they were about to go out of Sichuan to attack Jingzhou.

Secretly, every day carrier pigeons continued, and a large number of spies were sent to pay close attention to Zhang Lu's movements in Hanzhong.

About ten days later, Liu Xun was in the mansion to read the information sent by the spy Feige, and the soldiers came to report: "A girl who calls herself Zhuo Sijun asks to see an adult." ”

"This Zhuo Sijun, if you don't come sooner or later, when I was about to attack Zhang Lu, she came, what does it mean?"

"Please", Liu Xunwei groaned.

"Lord Zhoumu, it's hard for you to get in, Houmen is as deep as the sea, it's really good", Zhuo Sijun teased.

"Miss Sijun won't come this time specifically to entertain me, right?" Liu Xundao.

"Am I such a person?" Zhuo Sijun pouted with a playful attitude.

"I came all the way to visit you, why don't you appreciate it."

"yes, we seem to only have one side."

"Oh, the adult helped me kill the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, who robbed my relatives, but the little woman is grateful."

"That's the official's business, Miss Sijun doesn't have to mind."

"My lord is noble, how can Sijun not know? How did I hear that the Admiral of Yizhou Navy seems to be called Gan Ning, it's really a coincidence. ”

"Admiral Gan just has the same name as the Jinfan thief, which is not surprising."

"However, the appearance of Gan Tidu and the leader of the brocade sail is also very similar, almost identical, and maybe he and the thief leader are long-lost brothers. Killing his brother and using his brother, adults are really clear about public and private", the corners of his mouth curled, and Zhuo Sijun seemed to praise and sarcastically.

"It seems that Miss Sijun came this time to ask this official Xingshi for her guilt?"

"Where, where, the state pastor is too worried, Miss Ben is giving a gift to the adult, this is a gift list, please smile", Zhuo Sijun presented the gift list.

This girl is condescending, and she doesn't know what to do.

Liu Xun opened it and took a look, "There are 3,000 good horses and 5,000 pieces of iron, this gift list is not thin." ”

"No merit, what conditions does Miss Sijun have, can you say it straight to the point?" Liu Xun said.

"The people's daughter is a people under the rule of an adult, how dare she talk to the governor about any conditions? My Zhuo family just admires the state pastor and wants to help the adults achieve great things. ”

"Oh, on behalf of the people of Yizhou, I thank Miss Zhuo for her kindness."

"Right now, if the state pastor wants to fight, my Zhuo family will send horses and weapons, and in the future, the state shepherd will have needs, and the restaurant, money village, green building, and huge intelligence network of my Zhuo family will all be used by adults."

"Okay, Miss Sijun, this big gift, I Liu Xun accepted it. From now on, I, Liu Xun, will form an alliance with your Zhuo family and support you to become the first family in Yizhou. In the future, I will expand the territory and try my best to provide convenience for your Zhuo family on my territory. ”

Liu Xun is a smart person, he knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the string song, although Zhuo Sijun didn't say it explicitly, how can he not understand the other party's meaning.

"Okay, Lord Zhou Mu is really happy, let's high-five and form an alliance, and from now on, we will treat each other with all sincerity", Zhuo Sijun stretched out his palm.

Liu Xun stretched out his palm and hit the other party's small hand, only to feel that the contact was smooth and pink, like mutton fat and white jade.

My heart fluttered, and I quickly stopped those charming thoughts.

"Those good horses can go to Chengdu tomorrow. As for the iron tools, they will be made within ten days, and they will not miss the adult's business", Zhuo Sijun said.

"No, Miss Sijun has a lot of heart."

"Miss Sijun is capable of doing things, without dragging her feet, she is really a heroine among women, a heroine among women", Liu Xun gave a thumbs up.

"I don't like to be a heroine among women, if it weren't for the troubled times, I would rather stay at home all day, with female celebrities as companions, and poetry and books to entertain myself."

"Do adults like me now, or do you want to sing lightly and splash ink", Zhuo Sijun looked at Liu Xun with a smile, Xia Fei's pink cheeks, his eyes flowed, and he wanted to refuse and welcome me.

For a while, the warmth was warm, and the room was full of spring.
