Wei Tao is also old in the army, so naturally it is impossible to report his own situation to the other party before launching it.

Wei Tao will not be so 'benevolent'.

As early as when Wei Tao sent a message to prepare for the crusade against Yuan Shao, many soldiers and generals had gathered, and Wei Tao led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the Bohai Sea, and then ordered Zhou Yu to stay in Jizhou to prevent Yuan's army from 'encircling Wei and saving Zhao'.

Such a big move is naturally not hidden, Bohai is the place where Yuan Shao raised troops, and its wealth is not under Yecheng, but the generals who guard here are useless except for loyalty, and as soon as they heard Wei Tao's arrival, they immediately issued a document to report the emergency.

If this is the case, it is natural that troops should be sent to rescue immediately.

But at this time, Yuan Tan made bad water.

The last time Yuan Tan was easily defeated, although there was no evidence, Yuan Tan was almost certain that Yuan Shang had made a ghost.

But Yuan Shang was obviously not afraid of Yuan Tan Zhidao, as long as Yuan Tan had no evidence, there was no way to take him.

So this time Yuan Tan was also preparing to take revenge and come back, just when Yuan Shang was about to send troops to rescue, Yuan Tan deliberately said that he would lead all the soldiers to take the three counties of Changshan, Zhongshan and Hejian.

"These three counties can not only immediately regain the lost territory and boost the morale of our army, but also cut off the retreat of the state army and let it die here, even if Wei Tao escapes, it is bound to be slumped after this blow!"

Yuan Tan told the story, which is very reasonable, but everyone can understand where these three counties will be captured so easily?

It sounds reasonable, but it's not easy to implement.

was stopped by Yuan Tan like this, Yuan Shang's movements couldn't help but slow down, allowing Wei Tao to break through the Bohai Sea first.

Now Yuan Shang was appointed by Yuan Shao as the pastor of Jizhou. Wei Tao's move was to thin his face. Plus although there was a union. But there is really no friendship between the two, and Yuan Shang can be said to hate Wei Tao to the core.

Therefore, Yuan Shang immediately stopped paying attention to Yuan Tan and came as many people as his headquarters.

And Yuan Tan also understood that if he didn't send troops, he would also be criticized in the future, so he immediately became a soldier and attacked Hejian County again.

Yuan Tan thought very well, if he could capture Hejian County, he could not only be regarded as recovering Hejian County. And it can also cut off Wei Tao's retreat, and even copy Wei Tao from the back road, when the time comes, Wei Tao may not be able to retreat even if he wants to.

In this way, everyone in the world can understand who is better between him, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

However, although Yuan Tan's idea was not bad, since Zhou Yu was appointed by Wei Tao to guard Jizhou, he naturally expected what he would do, and he also brought troops over.

In addition to Zhang Liao, who was originally stationed in the river, Zhao Yun also accompanied him again this time, and the civil and military generals were not much inferior to Yuan Tan's side.

At this time, Wei Tao, who led the army all the way to Bohai County, also received the news that Yuan Shang came to help.

"This time I went to negotiate with Youzhou, but Youzhou can indeed understand. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Wuhuan will be allowed to go south because of this, and I am afraid that I will be a sinner for the Han Dynasty at that time. ”

Wei Tao looked at Zhuge Jin, who had just returned from Youzhou, and said. For Yuan Shang, Wei Tao really didn't pay much attention.

"Yuan Shang is still powerful, but unfortunately there are no generals under his command except for one Ju Yi, even if it is Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, they have been promoted to generals. Gong Jin's expectations were really not bad, if Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang came from the army, now I still have some trouble facing that Liu Guanzhang, but Gong Jin is there, hehe......"

This time, Wei Tao did not bring many generals, only Yu Ban and Pan Zhang followed.

Yu Ban and Pan Zhang's strength is not weak, but it is still a little incomparable to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if he really wants to fight against Yuan Tan, Wei Tao is really a little difficult to deal with the two Guan Zhang who are now counted under Yuan Tan.

"Wen Ze, Wen Qi, what do you think of this Bohai Sea?"

After Wei Tao laughed, he didn't need the two of them to answer, but the topic changed directly and turned to the matter of Bohai County.

"This Bohai County is close to the sea, but the rivers in the county are not comparable to our state, this kind of river flow is not large, if it is connected with the water army, the water army is just a weak pawn, it is not enough to use at all, but if it is to train the water army with the river and the sea, what about it?"

This is the purpose of Wei Tao leading Yu Ban and Pan Zhang, and Wei Tao has never forgotten the establishment of the water army.

It's not that Wei Tao knows what marine strategy is, but Wei Tao knows that if the navy is a success, then the Han sea disaster can be leveled, and at the same time, the sea is rich in products, and focusing on the development of the navy can also solve part of the problem.

As for transportation and the like, as long as there will be brave men under the reward, Wei Tao believes that such a problem is not a problem.

Pan Zhang was originally a person from the Jiangnan area, and he was a rare naval talent in the Bingzhou army, but what really surprised Wei Tao was Yu Ban.

Wei Tao never imagined that Yu Ban would also volunteer to say that he would also practice the navy, and that he would be indistinguishable from Pan Zhang's remarks.

Although it is said that Yu Ban's practice is insufficient, it is mostly based on theory, which is enough to make Wei Tao happy.

However, Yu Ban knew that he could not be regarded as the first-rate in the state army with courage alone, so when Wei Tao said that he wanted to establish a naval army, he kept his heart, and took the opportunity of Wei Tao to garrison and merge the state, and studied painstakingly.

There are not many rivers in the state, but they are not as good as those who have a heart.

"The lord's thoughts are very good, before I arrived, I also heard that the little overlord of Jiangdong, Sun Ce, often said to people, his dream is to build a huge water army, vertical and horizontal, no one on the sea is invincible. Moreover, I heard that every time they conquer a place, they must gather all the local skilled craftsmen to protect it, and if anyone intrudes, they will definitely be severely punished. If it can pacify the location of Jiangdong, it will definitely build a huge naval army with its ability. ”

At this time, as soon as Pan Zhang stepped forward, he gave up his hand and followed Wei Tao for a long time, both of them knew the Tao, Wei Tao would not scold people with his words, but sneered at that kind of incompetent person, so Pan Zhang did not hide it at this time.

"With the power of Jiangdong and the danger of the Yangtze River, even if the lord establishes a naval army here, he must not compete with it. As the lord said, it is easy for horses to run in the north and easy to sail in the south. If it is to train with the army and the sea, once the army is formed, it will not be under the south of the Yangtze River, but there are many difficulties in this way. ”

"Oh? As far as you can say. ”

Wei Tao and his two lives were not people who grew up by the rivers and seas, and even in his two lives, he never really saw the grandeur of the sea.

But Wei Tao knew that even in later generations, there were often shipwrecks, not to mention that at this time, once the ship capsized, I am afraid that there will be almost no life.

"No! I am afraid that the cost of training the troops in this way is not small, and I am afraid that only three or four percent of the ten percent of the army training will remain. Second, if you want to travel the rivers and seas, you must build a big ship, although the north is not without such skilled craftsmen, but how can it reach the land south of the Yangtze River? And the cost of building a ship is huge, unless it is supported by Jizhou, I am afraid that I can only do unscrupulous things like Yuan Shao! Third, if the general really wants to build a naval army, if it is not for us to be arrogant, I am afraid that this matter will not be feasible with me and Wen Zhi alone. ”

Pan Zhang and Yu Ban are both arrogant people, and they will not easily say that they are powerless.

But Wei Tao's eyes swept slowly, and he already found that what Pan Zhang said, Yu Ban did not have the slightest objection, obviously in Ban's opinion, it is indeed difficult to do it with just two people.

"The other two are not mentioned, and the last one is that I will preside over this matter with Gong Jin at that time, and with Gong Jin's ability, it should be okay."

The three things Pan Zhang said were extremely difficult, especially the first one, but Wei Tao understood what he meant.

Pan Zhang's meaning is just to train the soldiers, and I am afraid that six or seven of the ten sailors will be buried in the sea.

This is military training, not marching and fighting, and ordinary military training has those who can't stand the hardships and become deserters, but unless it is constant corporal punishment and food is insufficient, there is no training to train the dead.

But this also shows the danger of the matter.

It's just that Wei Tao felt that Pan Zhang had something to say at this time, although Pan Zhang was a little greedy, he was brave and resourceful, and he would not be ignorant of Wei Tao's trust in Zhou Yu.

"The Zhou army is both civil and military, and I Pan Zhang also admires the ability to command the army. However, the military division is the commander of an army, and he determines the overall situation, and he has to wait for us to charge in battle. Moreover, it is feasible to train soldiers on weekdays, and it is feasible to be proficient in water warfare. ”

Pan Zhang was personally introduced back by Zhou Yu from Jiangnan, and he naturally knows more about Zhou Yu's skills than others, but because of this, Pan Zhang does not blindly think that as long as Zhou Yu is there, it will be feasible.

"That's right!"

Although the Bingzhou Army is under the command of Wei Tao, most of the specific training matters are the responsibility of various generals, and Wei Tao can naturally understand what Pan Zhang means.

"It seems that Wen Jue has a solution."

"Lord Qiqi, the last time I met Zhou Junshi, I also accompanied the military division in Jiangnan. But he knew that there was a person who was extremely brave, proficient in the art of water warfare, and walked on the Yangtze River. Even though the sea route is more dangerous, if the lord gets this person, the success of training into a naval army can be doubled! ”

Pan Zhang moved forward again, and gave his hand, I have to say that after the state army, Pan Zhang's arrogance gradually subdued a little, if it was the first time, even if it would be to promote others, but the tone was by no means as respectful as this.

"Oh? Is there such a person? In that case, why don't Gongjin do it for me? ”

But even this was enough to arouse Wei Tao's curiosity.

"Qi Qi lord, at that time, the military advisor was already recruiting people for the lord, but under the rule of the lord, there was no waterway, and his people were afraid that they would be useless, so they refused."

Pan Zhang immediately said for Zhou Yu.

"And his background is not good, he used to be a thief, known as the 'Jinfan thief', and now that person is a general under Huang Zu under Liu Biao's subordinates in Jingzhou, but unfortunately he can't be used at all!"

"Oh? What is that man's name? ”

Wei Tao was suddenly quite excited in his heart, and he already had some guesses.

"Lord Qiqi, that person's name is Gan Ning, and the word Xingba is also." (To be continued......)
