The cost of the navy is huge, and Wei Tao also knows it, but he didn't expect that the cost is so huge, and now that Zhou Yu mentioned it, Wei Tao couldn't help frowning secretly, whether this navy should be built or not.

At this time, it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and no matter where in the world, it was impossible to develop any marine strategy, even if it was Wei Tao, what he finally thought about was just the island opposite the Han Dynasty.

I want to solve the problems there together.

But now Wei Tao also found that if this is the case, it is a bit like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

So all of a sudden, Wei Tao also fell into deep thought, but at this time Zhou Yu continued to speak.

"And it is difficult for the craftsmen of Jizhou to build a big ship today, so this is also the reason why I went down to the south of the Yangtze River last time, and finally only brought back Pan Zhang to the lord, even if there is no navy, it is also a rare general, and it can be useful under the lord's command. As for the others......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.

"Gong Jin means that I don't have to think about anything else?"

Wei Tao smiled slightly bitterly, Zhou Yu put on a lot of problems as soon as he opened his mouth, and in Wei Tao's opinion, it really meant a little bit like this.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Yu shook his head at this time, and then said slowly.

"On the contrary, I think that's why the lord should have built a navy early. First, it is difficult to find naval talents, and if they go north and vote for the lord, I am afraid that even fewer will be few; Second, now that our army has no war, it is possible to allocate military funds to build a naval army; third, if we talk about cavalry infantry, our army can be described as a heroic division in the world, but if we talk about a naval division. Our army has no foundation. It can be struck by others. If you lose a battle, it is not easy to reverse it back, so the lord should make a plan as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Yu told the story eloquently, and he had his own reasons, and Wei Tao had no way to refute it.

"My lord."

At this time, Xun You arched his hand towards Wei Tao, hesitated slightly, and said slowly.

"Lord, I think what Gong Jin said is reasonable, if this is the time when the lord uses military funds elsewhere. It is not difficult to build another cavalry. However, in the previous battle with Wu Huan, our army captured a lot, and it was enough to build cavalry, and if the money and food were spent on it, the strength improvement would be limited. And if you get a navy, not to mention anything else, just the grain transportation is much faster, and if there is a navy, the lord can also do more in the future. ”

Xun You's words already vaguely agreed with Wei Tao's southward movement, but Wei Tao didn't have such a meaning, so he didn't care much about it. After thinking for a while, he just nodded and said.

"That being the case. So be it. Gongda is also responsible for dispatching materials, after all, it takes a long time to build a ship, and although I have found some craftsmen in Jizhou, there are not many people who can build ships, and you need to think more about Gongda. ”

"Command!"

Xun Yu responded as soon as he gave his hand, and Wei Tao looked at Zhou Yu again.

"In addition, Gong Jin is fortunate to be on a hard trip, I have also sent someone to inquire about Na Ganning before and is not having a good time in Jingzhou now, if you see the solicitation, there should be a chance. In addition, the affairs of the navy are complicated, but there are not many people in our army who are proficient in this way, and when the navy is established, I want to appoint Gongjin as the governor of the navy, and if he can be recruited, I will entrust him as your deputy, what do you think? ”

This is for Zhou Yu to decide, Zhou Yu did not shirk at all, and after bowing his head slightly and pondering for a while, he raised his head and looked at Wei Tao and said.

"The lord doesn't know, that Gan Xingba is quite proud, if he is recruited like this, I am afraid that he thinks that the lord is contemptuous, if the lord wants to recruit him, it is better than to do it in person. With the prestige of the lord now, he must accept it. ”

Zhou Yu wants to let himself go?

Wei Tao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but thinking about it, it was Gan Ning, not only can he be called the first person in water warfare, but his land combat skills are not weak, he is a top general, even if he wants to go in person, if he can recruit him, it is worth a trip.

"My lord!"

But before Wei Tao could think about it, Xun You just opened his mouth and said directly to dissuade him.

"Whether it is appropriate for the lord to come all the way to visit is not to say, but it is reasonable to say that the corporal is a virtuous corporal for the sake of talent. But now the identity of the lord is the attention of the world, if there is a case, who can undertake the great cause of the lord? This is absolutely unacceptable! Never! ”

Hearing Xun You's dissuasion, Wei Tao's originally raised thoughts suddenly dissipated, Xun You's words were not bad, and Wei Tao was even more Xiang Sun Ce, the current Jiangdong overlord.

How Sun Ce is brave, Wei Tao has not fought with him but he doesn't know, but now he has won battles in Jiangdong and has the potential to defend Jiangdong.

But Wei Tao knew that the reason why Sun Ce died was not because of anything else, it was precisely because of his self-reliance and courage that he walked alone, and was finally besieged and killed here, for Wei Tao, it can be said that it is a lesson from the past and has to be guarded against.

"Gongda's words are very true, but now the northern talents have their own masters. Although there are many ministers and generals under the command of the lord, now they are in charge of the two states, which is really insufficient. Jingzhou Liu Biao is not a male lord according to the door, and the scholars of Jingzhou must not be like-minded, if the lord goes to it, he may be able to take it all. ”

However, after hearing what Zhou Yu said, Wei Tao's heart moved again.

There are indeed many talented people among the Jingxiang scholars, although the 'famous' Wolong and Fengxiao are not very old now, and it is impossible to recruit them.

But Wei Tao knew that in addition to Gan Ning, there was also a fierce general, a fierce general who was no less than himself and Lu Bu, Huang Zhong.

If so, then this trip is not worth the trip.

"As for Gongda's worries, I don't think there is any need, although it is said that the lord is famous all over the world, but there are not many people who have seen the lord with their own eyes, let alone know the lord, as long as they don't meet with the princes from all walks of life, it should be okay."

At this time, Zhou Yu said again.

This is not bad, although there is a saying about the image in this era, but the shape and shadow picture cannot be as real as a sketch, after all, the painting of this era is still focused on meaning.

Therefore, as long as his identity is not deliberately exposed, not many people will be able to recognize Wei Tao, the male lord of the two states.

"This ......"

In fact, Xun Yu didn't know these things, the previous blocking was also out of his loyalty to Wei Tao, and now when he saw Wei Tao's intentions, he hesitated at the moment.

"Alright, Gongda. Since there is no danger, it is naturally okay. I yearn for the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and now I can see it. In the future, for my ambition, I am afraid that there will be no chance to go down to Jiangnan. ”

Seeing that Xun You's stop was not so resolute, Wei Tao immediately smiled and said, if there is not much danger, Wei Tao really wants to go out.

After all, although Wei Tao did not have the slightest fear or hesitation in the continuous war, he couldn't help but feel a little bored with it, and this time he was relaxed.

"If that's the case, the lord should bring more guards in case something happens."

Xun You saw that Wei Tao had made up his mind, and he was not good at persuasion immediately, and finally he could only say a little helplessly.

"Pan Wenqi and Yu Wenze's martial arts are not bad, but they are not first-class generals, so it is better to let Dian Wei and Zhao Yun accompany them."

Dian Wei has always been Wei Tao's guard, Zhao Yun's martial arts are stronger, and the two of them are okay to accompany him, but at this time, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and said.

"No, Dian Wei's appearance is very different from ordinary people, if he accompanies him, it may expose the lord's trip, as for Zhao Yun, although he can do it, but the lord has already ordered him to be stationed in the state to prevent the Huns, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to move at will at this time."

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, but soon smiled slightly.

"But isn't there anyone else in my state to ask me for? Although this person has only been in place for a few days, he is still credible, and although he has arrived, he is not good for a while, and he can also take advantage of this to collect his heart. ”

Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Wei Tao and Xun You were both stunned, indeed, if that person accompanied him as a guard, then it could also ensure that Wei Tao was safe and sound.

This person is none other than Tai Shici.

Because Yuan Shao went to war with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's power rose even more, and the Son of Heaven also felt threatened, and instead desperately wanted to have his own army.

Kong Rong is a loyal man, and now Xuzhou has been occupied by Lu Bu, but he still did not hesitate to hand over the last army in his hand.

For Kong Rong to be so loyal, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, was naturally very satisfied and valued him even more.

But Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, believed in Kong Rong, not Kong Rong's subordinates, so Tai Shici, who was originally the commander of the army, was naturally idle very easily.

And because Tai Shi Ci was originally Kong Rong's subordinate, Yuan Shao didn't dare to solicit, for fear that this was done on purpose, and it was actually an annexation of his own army, so Tai Shi Ci became a dispensable idler in Chang'an.

Tai Shi Ci is very filial, but he has practiced martial arts in order to get ahead, so he is naturally unwilling to do so, so after the people of Bingzhou sent the information of his mother and Wei Tao's solicitation, Tai Shici finally came to Bingzhou and joined Wei Tao's command.

"If there is around, the lord should be fine, but the lord also knows that there are many affairs in the state, so he also asks the lord to go and return early, after all, it can be covered up for a while, once the matter of the lord's absence in the state spreads, then a burst of turmoil is not to mention, I am afraid that some people with a heart think that there is an opportunity."

Hearing Xun You's last instructions, Wei Tao also nodded, he is not an irresponsible person, although this time he has the intention of going out to relax, but it is more to seek talents.

"Well, in a month I will return! Before that, please ask Gongda to share the affairs. ”

Wei Tao only thought about it for a while, and then said to Xun Youyan.

"No! You must do your best to wait for the return of the lord. ”

Xun You immediately got up and saluted Wei Tao, and responded to Wei Tao's order.

(Thank God?) Ye No Wukong's reward, and thank you for the support of other book friends, thank you! (To be continued......)
