"This matter must have been done by Dong Zhuo." Jia Xu said without hesitation.

"Oh, why is that?" Liu Yao asked with some curiosity, although he also felt in his heart that this must have been done by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, but for a while, he couldn't think of what it was for.

Jia Xu smoothed his beard and said, "To say that there are only three princes who hate the lord the most among the princes in the world, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao. Then Yuan Shu won't talk about it, a straw bag, how could he get such news. Besides, his territory is in the south, and his hand can't reach out to our Youzhou. As for Yuan Shao, it is possible, but he is now busy showing his strength and taking down Jizhou, where is the time to do these things? ”

"So among everyone, only this Dong Zhuo is possible. And Dong Zhuo was originally from Liangzhou, and he also knew Ma Tengna very well. Li Ru under his command is also a good opponent, and it is nothing to analyze. Only he is the most likely. ”

Liu Yao also nodded when he heard this, it is true, and only Dong Zhuo is the most likely. said a little casually, "That's it, now that I know the Tao and the Tao, it won't help to think about it more." Originally, I just wanted to use Ma Teng as a surprise soldier. Now it seems that it is not possible. ”

"Lord, in fact, this doesn't have much impact, even if the lord doesn't have Liangzhou, just the secluded Liangzhou is enough for other princes to be afraid of." Jia Xu said.

Liu Yao nodded, looked around at everyone, and said, "Since this is the case, this matter is no longer discussed, so what should we do next, do you have any good opinions?" ”

"My lord. We have just been given the annexation of Liangzhou and Liangzhou for less than half a year, and it is not suitable for us to continue to send troops, so our main task for the next period of time is to focus on maintenance. We originally had about 300,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou. Coupled with the total number of people from Liangzhou, the total number is about 500,000. I propose to continue to expand the army and replenish the army of 800,000, so that we can protect the land of these three states. Xi Zhicai stood up and said.

"Gonghe, are our financial resources and grain and grass enough to replenish the army of 300,000?" Liu Yao asked with a frown.

Fu Zhu said firmly, "We now have a total population of 16 million in the three states, even if we come another 300,000, it will be enough." ”

Liu Yao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, then continue to recruit 250,000 troops in the three states." And the 50,000 Karasuma cavalry that Uyan promised me, so it's just right. ”

"My lord, the cavalry and infantry in our army are very heavy, sufficient and elite. However, if the lord wants to dominate the world in the future, there is one thing that is indispensable. Jia Xu said.

"What is it?" Liu Yao asked with some confusion.

A fine light burst out in Jia Xu's eyes, and he spit out two words: "Water Army." ”

"Water Army!!" Liu Yao also flashed a fine light in his eyes and called out. He knows the importance of this water army. It's just that he has been living in the north all these years. I rarely come into contact with water-related things, so I forget about them for a while.

Needless to say, the importance of this naval army is not to be said, it is good to say that in the north, it can be said that with an elite cavalry, it can be said that with an elite cavalry, it can be said that it can dominate the world. But this big man doesn't know that there is a north, and there is a south.

This Jingzhou naval army is known as the first in the world, as well as Jiangdong, Yizhou and other places. In many places, it is necessary to rely on this water army to defeat it. Cao Cao in history was defeated by this water army, and there was a fire in Chibi. Burned Cao Cao's army and ambitions to the ground. Otherwise, the whole world would have already said that he was Cao Cao, where would it be the turn to get the rise of the Sima clan in the future.

Liu Yao sighed and said, "Wenhe, I also know that this navy is very important, but we, the northerners, are not good at water warfare, are there any generals who will train the navy, how can this be good?" ”

In his impression, there are three of the best generals in this navy, the first is Na Ganning, but he is still estimated to be his majestic brocade thief on the Yangtze River. As for the other two, they are Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. However, these two people are the same as Na Gan Ning, they are at ease on the Yangtze River, and they have no way to recruit these two people. As for some of the other naval generals, they were also in the south, and Liu Yao couldn't do anything about it.

Jia Xu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, there was really nothing he could do about this, he couldn't conjure up a naval general.

"Lord Qiqi, although the last general is from Qingzhou, he still has some knowledge of water and some understanding of water warfare, so it's better to let the last general give it a try." At this time, Tai Shici stood up and said.

"Ziyi!" Liu Yao exclaimed with some surprise, and then thought about it, this Tai Shi Ci was Sun Quan's subordinate in history, even if this water nature is not as good as Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others, it is still much better than his own northern generals such as Zhao Yun and Ma Chao.

"Then please Ziyi. Let's levy 50,000 sailors first, and start training slowly, if there are generals who are familiar with water warfare in the future, I will have someone replace you. Liu Yao said.

Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Ziyi, you don't have too much burden, although this water army is important, it has little effect on us now, so it can be achieved, and it doesn't hurt if you can't." Liu Yao comforted.

Tai Shi Ci nodded gratefully, not saying anything.

Immediately, Liu Yao looked at Fu Zhi and said, "Gonghe, from now on, pay me attention to Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Lu Meng, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, if you can get in touch, even if you try your best, you have to recruit me." Liu Yao reported all the generals in the early days of Eastern Wu in history, maybe some people are not born yet, maybe they are already under the command of others, but Liu Yao doesn't care, he still understands the truth of casting a wide net and catching more fish.

"No." Frustrated Ying Nuodao, and also deeply wrote down the names of these people.

"My lord, it's not enough to have soldiers for a navy, the ship is the most important, but where did we come from in Youzhou, what kind of shipwright doesn't know how to build ships at all." Tai Shici continued to ask questions.

Liu Yao frowned, and secretly said that this water army was troublesome. However, if these problems are put on other people, it will still be a big problem, but for Liu Yao, who has ancient books, it is not a problem.

"Ziyi, you can rest assured that you can fight. I have my own way of building this ship, and it's definitely a ship like no other. We also have a research institute in Youzhou, so many craftsmen, are you still afraid that you can't build it? Liu Yao showed a smile and said confidently.

Everyone looked at Liu Yao's smile and knew that Liu Yao already had a way, and they were convinced of it. Over the years, so many strange equipment have been created by the research institute, and it is not easy to ship a few boats. But what they never imagined was that what Liu Yao wanted was definitely not a small boat, but a boat that was enough to shock them.

"Do you have anything else to add?" Liu Yao continued to ask.

At this time, Guo Jia stood up and said, "My lord, while we are developing ourselves, we will definitely not be able to send troops to attack others. But it's okay to give them a little trouble. Then Dong Zhuo didn't think about it for the time being. But we can do some articles in Jizhou. ”

"Oh, Feng Xiao has a plan?" Liu Yao asked curiously.

Guo Jia said with a smile, "It's not a strategy, it's just that sooner or later, Jizhou will fall back into the hands of Yuan Shao, and we can say that there is no way to stop this." But it can still be done to make a little trouble for Yuan Shao and let him take Jizhou for a longer time. ”

"As long as we let one person lead a cavalry to Jizhou, we will continue to add trouble to Yuan Shao, destroy the galloping road, and burn the grain and grass, so that Yuan Shao will definitely have a headache. It's just that if that general is not careful, I'm afraid it will be in danger. ”

Liu Yao frowned when he heard this, but his heart was full of excitement. What I lack most now is time. In this way, Yuan Shao's unification of Jizhou can be greatly delayed, and he can leave a lot of room for the development of Liangzhou.

But Liu Yao didn't want his people to do such a dangerous thing, everyone he was doing was Liu Yao's henchmen, and Liu Yao was heartbroken when he lost any of them, and he was in a dilemma for a while. (To be continued......)
