Chapter 457: Water Army
Yanzhou has become the center of public opinion in the Han Dynasty, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that in recent years, the influence of the Han family in the whole world has become smaller and smaller, but it does not affect his lofty status among the common people.
Yuan Shu of Yangzhou was overjoyed when he heard this, changed his tired state, and even presided over the government, saying that he was the real Son of Heaven, such as today's disaster, the destruction of the Han Dynasty, just in response to him Yuan Shu is the true Son of Heaven, but the effect of such remarks is indeed Jingzhou Liu Biaobing is on the border, making an attack posture.
After a short period of thought, the princes found that the Han Emperor died, but it was of great benefit to them, one was not constrained from the Yanzhou court, and the other was that they could rest assured that they could expand shili, in troubled times, the fist was big, it was the royal road, and the death of the Han Emperor was just to remove a fig leaf from the princes.
Lost orthodoxy, Cao Cao's influence in the Han Dynasty, plummeted, in any case, the death of the Han Emperor and Cao Cao had some inseparable relationship, and countless officials resigned and left because of this, many officials were under Cao Cao's rule, that is, they hoped that one day, Cao Cao could rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and the hearts of officials still hoped that the Han Dynasty could become strong, and the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty had an indelible influence in people's hearts, which was also part of the reason why Yuan Shu was called the emperor and was immediately blamed by everyone.
At this time, Jia Rong and his party had already come to Jingzhou.
"It seems that the news of Emperor Han's death is shaking enough." Listening to the people in the past talking about the death of the Han Emperor, Jia Rong muttered softly, the people may not dare to talk about the death of the Han Emperor on the bright side, after all, the affairs of the Son of Heaven cannot be discussed casually by ordinary people.
Under Jia Rong's intention to hide his traces, it was difficult for the Jingzhou army to find it at all, and who would have thought that Jia Rong was not in Chang'an, but came to Jingzhou, without too much nostalgia for the prosperity of Xiangyang, and arrived in Jiangxia County without danger.
Jiangxia County has repeatedly fought with the Jiangdong Army, and the defense is quite strict, Jiangxia is too strong in guarding Huang Zu's martial arts, repeatedly repelling the Jiangdong Army, and has a lot of prestige in the city, it is in this Jingzhou army, it is also a great hero, with the Kuai family as the backing, Huang Zu is very good in Jingzhou, plus Huang Zu's ability is good, Jiangxia has completely become his hall.
In the middle of the night, a small boat docked by the river, and Jia Rong, Zhang Xiu, and Mihuan, who was dressed as a man, boarded the boat.
With the support of the Xiliang Army, Zhou Tai and others are like fish in water on the river, in the past, they could only look up to the building boats, and now they also have two, and there are dozens of warships, such combat effectiveness, even if they encounter the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army, they can also fight a battle, the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy have always been at odds, which has also achieved the development of Zhou Tai and others.
Although Zhou Tai was born as a water thief, he knows how to set up camp, and has been mixed on the river for many years, if he hadn't met Jia Rong back then, it is estimated that he is a member of the Jiangdong Army or the Jingzhou Army, the world is in chaos, and the princes still attach great importance to their own strength, Jia Rong nodded secretly, he ruled the cavalry, and did not know the method of water warfare, and still saw the extraordinaryness of Zhou Tai's camp, as long as one part of the camp was attacked, the other places could react immediately.
In the water village, several small boats flashed out, clustered with a luxurious boat slowly approaching in the direction of Jia Rong, the building boat is nearly ten meters high, it looks magnificent from a distance, on the turbulent river, up and down, there is no feeling of worry.
Zhou Tai Jiang Qin Ganning, respectfully stood at the bow of the ship, greeted Jia Rong's arrival, learned that Jia Rong was going to the army, Zhou Tai was shocked, immediately put down the affairs in his hands, summoned Jiang Qin and Gan Ning, came to greet, although Zhou Tai and others and Jia Rong only had one side of the relationship, after learning their identity, they accepted the management with joy and sincerity, organized the water village on the river, trained the water army, conscientious, without the slightest dissent, on the identity, they were just the water thieves on the river, not worth mentioning in the eyes of the world, after following Jia Rong, became an officer of the Han Dynasty, his identity changed in an instant, Jia Rong had a thunderous reputation in the Han Dynasty, Zhou Tai was able to board the big ship of the Xiliang Army, he was very satisfied, and he tried to make a career for Jia Rong in the army.
The boat ride made Jia Rong a little uncomfortable, and Zhao Fan's face turned even whiter, he was a general on the road, and when he reached the water, he immediately became a little sluggish.
"How is General Zhou doing?" After speaking, Jia Rong kept glancing at him.
Zhou Tai understood, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's okay." ”
"What's the matter, my brother is the overlord of the river, he has killed countless people, and he deserves the name of a general, right?" Jia Rong turned to Mihuan and said.
"Hmph, what's the big deal, look at other people's generals, the wind and water are rising, you, the general, there are only so many hundred or so people around you."
Zhou Tai instantly understood Jia Rong's intentions, and hugged his fists and said, "General, please!" ”
Gan Ning Jiang Qin followed behind Jia Rong, and with their eyesight, they naturally saw that the Mihuan around Jia Rong was a woman dressed as a man, and if she could be taken by Jia Rong's side, she might become the main mother, so she naturally didn't dare to slack off.
Mi Huan didn't think about it so much, secretly still thinking that Jia Rong really mixed well in the rivers and lakes, this general on the river, can have such an achievement, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the rivers and lakes.
Arrange Mihuan to rest, Jia Rong left Zhou Tai, Ganning, Jiang Qin three, the four of them arrived for a long talk, Jia Rong roughly understood the problems faced by the development of the navy, for example, there is no territory, only by attacking the river is not a long-term way, and there is the problem of insufficient warships, like the Jiangdong Navy and Liu Biao's Jingzhou Navy Army, there are more than a dozen ships, and there are countless ships, if the two parties really want to clear up, Zhou Tai's navy is difficult to resist, and having a base of their own is the most important problem at present.
Since joining the Xiliang Army, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin and others have gradually washed away the banditry on their bodies, and there are also officials sent by the Xiliang Army in the army, since this army belongs to the Xiliang Army, then Jia Xu should be completely controlled, it is definitely not as simple as it seems, the soldiers who joined the Navy have basically been assessed, and the appearance of Zhou Tai and others is leading a team of water thieves, but in fact, they have their own core personnel, and the real combat effectiveness is these people.
The warships still have territory, which is what Zhou Tai and others urgently need at present, and now the number of sailors is thousands, and the support of the Xiliang Army alone will definitely not last long.
Jia Rongmihuan and others, under the leadership of Gan Ning, went to the river to play.
Today's Jiangshang, there are three shili, one is Jiangdong Sun Ce, the second is Jingzhou Liu Biao, and the third is the navy led by Zhou Tai, although Liu Biao and Sun Ce have wanted to eat this navy many times, but they have never been able to do so, but they have lost their troops and wanted to recruit Zhou Tai, but Zhou Tai's attitude has been unclear, swaying left and right between the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army.
Jia Rong, who was playing, suddenly found that a dense group of boats appeared on the river not far away, and the big flag on the boat was fluttering in the wind, with the word "Liu" written on it.
Jia Rong was shocked in his heart, the other party's naval army has a rough estimate and there are thousands, and he appeared here rashly, it is not that there is a war with Jiangdong, on land, in the face of these people, Jia Rong may not be afraid, but on the river, there are great difficulties for Jia Rong, the swimming dog planing style is not suitable for the vast river at all, even the combat effectiveness of the lone wolf soldiers is also greatly reduced, not only the Xiliang army, the princes of this era, generally do not attach so much importance to the water army.
"General, it's not good, it's Liu Biao's people." Gan Ning said in a low tone.
"Can you run away?" Jia Rong asked.
"It's difficult, the other party is a tailwind, and we are a headwind, we will soon be caught up by them, I believe that General Zhou has also got the news at this time, and he will come soon." Gan Ning said: "But the other party may not be targeting us." ”
"Hmm." Jia Rong nodded slightly, and he couldn't see the slightest change on his face.
"General Gan ordered someone to come forward and ask questions."
Seeing this, Gan Ning couldn't help but admire it in his heart, this state of mind is not something that everyone can have, he has never regretted taking refuge in the Xiliang Army, Gan Ning has never regretted it, I don't know how many times better than living in the river before, now they don't have a name, but they have a system in the Xiliang Army, he is also a regimental general-level figure, and he is also a number one figure in the army.
"General, I'll go and investigate." After Gan Ning finished speaking, he jumped onto a small boat with dexterity and headed towards Liu Biao's sailors.
"Which general is Liu Biao?"
The soldiers of the navy didn't know Gan Ning, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Who in front dares to block the road of my Jingzhou navy." ”
"Gan Ning!" Gan Ning said lightly.
The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, on the river, who did not know the name of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, in recent years, he has become even more famous, and no one is afraid of pulling up a group of men and horses on the river.
After a while, a general came out of the Jingzhou Navy Army, "I don't know what Gan Daxia is doing this time?" ”
"Oh, it turned out to be General Zhang, Lao Tzu had nothing to do, fishing on the river, but I didn't expect so many Jingzhou naval troops to suddenly appear, you are going to war?" Gan Ning smiled.
General Zhang's face was a little ugly, but he didn't have a seizure when he thought of Gan Ning's murderous reputation on the river.
"Exactly, please give way."
Gan Ning hugged his fists and said: "There will be a period later." ”
Under Gan Ning's order, several small boats quickly approached the side with a large boat.
Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the mighty and orderly sailors, Jia Rong sighed: "The Jingzhou navy is really worthy of its name. ”
Gan Ning said: "These are all small boats, the largest building boat of the Jingzhou Navy is much higher than those building boats in the camp, and it is rampage on the river, which is extremely powerful." ”
"Oh, and that matter." Jia Rong secretly remembered in his heart, the biggest reliance on the sturdiness of the ship in these years is the battle of the navy, just imagine that other big ships can sink you if they come to your small boat, do you still need to fight this battle.
