Liu Xuan said, paused slightly, and then said. "Xiaozhi, Zichu - how is the battleship built?" Liu Xuan looked at a middle-aged man in green clothes and said.
"King Yu - Jiangzhou General Yan, Nanjun Third General, Baqiu Huang Lao General has built more than 200 warships——"
Fa Zheng is a Shangshu order, Liu Ba is a Shangshu, and he is Fa Zheng's deputy. As soon as Fa Zheng heard Liu Xuan's words, he hurriedly came out and said. "Two hundred—hmm—" Liu Xuan frowned slightly.
Because according to the intelligence of the Shadows, after the Eastern Wu Navy obtained most of the Huaisi land, its naval army expanded a lot, and the warships under its command alone reached an astonishing more than 3,000 -
This made Liu Xuan feel quite stressed. In history, it is not unreasonable for Eastern Wu to exist for more than ten years after the Wei State destroyed the Shu State-Eastern Wu relied on this invincible naval army and the countless warship groups under its command.
"There are not many materials and craftsmen anywhere in Taiwan - although it has been several years, I don't know if there are 100 ships." Liu Xuan suddenly felt a little helpless in his heart. "How's the training of the navy in Jingzhou?"
"We still need to train—after all, we're dealing with Soochow—"
Fa Zheng was also a little helpless and said. "No, this year we must go east to take Soochow - if we don't move, I'm afraid the north will have to divide the victory and defeat this time-"
Liu Xuan said with a resolute wave of his hand.
Since a year ago, Cao Cao led the army to retreat to the north, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to be the commander, leading Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and other generals to sit in Nanyang County, and arranged a tight defense line in Nanyang County.
Then Cao Cao led the army to continue north, looking at the appearance of reinforcements and annexation of the state - but Cao Cao was cunning and cunning, and suddenly turned south halfway, and the troops approached Wuguan.
The guard general of Wuguan is Yan Xing, the son-in-law of the first Guanxi warlord Han Sui, Yan Xing was suddenly attacked by Cao Cao - he lost Wuguan by surprise, and led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat towards Shangxian (Shangluo)!
However, before Yan Xing could gain a firm foothold in Shang County, Cao Cao's general Cao Chun and Cao Xiu led the Wei army's ace "Tiger and Leopard Ride" to Shang County like the wind, and Yan Xing and Ma Xiu had no choice but to retreat to Lantian.
Cao Chun has been captured by Liu Xuan since then.
was imprisoned by Liu Xuan - living a life of having one meal and no meal every day. The fire in his heart had long been suffocated, and Cao Cao stayed with the Nanyang army to guard against Liu Xuan.
Cao Chun wanted to stay in Nanyang and deal with Liu Xuan, a very deep enemy of the city-but how could Cao Cao rest assured of Cao Chun? In a few words, he tied Cao Chun to his side and listened to it...... Self-defeating martial arts Cao Chun, this guy is also the craziest one.
Cao Chun needed to vent—so—Yan Xing became the ideal target. Because-Yan Xing's martial arts are not bad, Cao Chun and Yan Xing are half a catty and eight taels, which can be described as chess opponents.
Yan Xing was once a fierce man who almost killed Ma Chao with one shot, and Cao Chun was the first general of the Cao family - he often took the lead during the period of commanding the tiger and leopard cavalry. A body of martial arts is not bad - under normal circumstances, the two of them are inseparable from each other for hundreds of rounds.
However, Cao Chun also has a Cao Xiu next to him who is called "my Cao family's thousand miles of horses" by Cao Cao. Cao Xiu's gang saw Yan Xing and Cao Chun fighting, and he didn't stop doing anything, but he was currently commanding the tiger and leopard to rush in, and the Ma family's fierce general Ma Xiu was entangled and couldn't get out.
Threw the command of the army to the high view of the Four Courtyard Pillars. Gao Ran took advantage of the fact that the Qin army had no one to command—he led the army to kill the past. The composition of the Qin army is very complex, there are Han people, there are Qiang people, and there are slaves-
Without the command of the generals of the Qin army—they were a mass of scattered sand, and Gao Ran easily defeated the Qin army in a few clicks—Yan Xing, seeing that it was inviolable, led some of his own soldiers on the side of the perimeter to retreat.
And Cao Cao's hand is also very vicious. But soon it was recognized by Pang Tong. Pang Tong ordered Pang De, who was stationed at Tongguan, to lead his troops to deal with Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu was a division on this road. Ma Dai led the troops to guard Tongguan.
After Lantian had the support of Pang De's army, the Qin army's front quickly stabilized. And Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and other generals were also unable to break Lantian for a while, and they were at a stalemate with it.
And the merger state. Ma Chao, the king of Qin, used Jiang Wei, who was more than ten years old, as his commander, and led 10,000 iron cavalry to raid and merge the state - Jiang Wei, this kid, really lived up to Ma Chao and Pang Tong's high expectations.
Before Jia Xu arranged the fan-shaped encirclement, he led the troops to occupy Taiyuan County - Jiang Wei even captured Yanmen unexpectedly, which Jia Xu did not expect. But Cao Cao was quick to react.
Cao Cao took Hao Zhao as the general of Anbei and led 5,000 troops to guard Dingxian in Zhongshan State.
Cao Cao went west to Luoyang, took over the power and commanded the army to confront Ma Chao on the front line of Hangu Pass. Xiahou Yuan rushed to Wuguan non-stop to sit down-
…………
Just when Liu Xuan's Wenwu was silent, a blood guard suddenly walked in outside, holding a piece of information in his hand.
"The Great King - Jingzhou Emergency Military Situation!"
"Huh?" Liu Xuan frowned, there wouldn't be anything wrong with the secret road, right? Before Liu Xuan returned to Hanzhong, he left Xu Shu to sit in Jingzhou, as the governor of Jingzhou, and the governor of Jingzhou's military.
Jiang Wan, Kuai Liang has an overview of Jingzhou's government affairs——
"Bring it in—"
Liu Xuan immediately looked at the information, but for a moment, Liu Xuan suddenly smiled, and the corners of his mouth raised a smug smile. "God help me—"
"Everyone-Jingzhou Yuan came straight to report--Eastern Wu led 20,000 troops led by General Lu Meng to sit in Lukou--Lu Su led the army north to attack the important town of Shouchun."
Liu Xuan's face couldn't help but be ecstatic. After Liu Xuan's words, Zhou Budo also stood up and said loudly. "The king—the minister thinks this is a godsend—"
"If you don't send an army to attack Soochow at this time—when will you wait?"
"Well, what Yuan Zhi said is not bad - Lu Su led most of the soldiers and horses to force Shouchun, and it is not a moment to go down - and Lu Meng can only be a rare 'general', not a handsome talent."
Liu Xuan said firmly. "If Lu Su leads an army of 20,000 to defend the western side of Eastern Wu--Lone will have to think twice--then this Lu Meng, hehe-" Although Liu Xuan's words were not spoken, the meaning was already obvious.
"Great King-if this battle is down, you must pay attention to it quickly, ruthlessly-" Zhuge Liang frowned and said. "If you wait until Soochow comes to his senses, then it won't be easy."
Liu Xuan laughed when he heard this. "The prime minister can rest assured that Lone has a countermeasure-"
"Someone came - Chuan Gu's order, all the new warships in Jiangzhou were dressed up, changed into merchant ships, and sailed to Jingzhou one after another - Jingzhou Navy actively trained to prepare for the next day to crusade against Eastern Wu - Second, ordered Zhang Fei to lead the army north to Fancheng, intending to feint to attack Nanyang - Zhao Yun, Wen Ping led the troops to prepare for the pretense of guarding against Eastern Wu and paralyzing Lu Meng in Lukou."
"Huh? To disguise the warship in the name of a merchant ship - hehe, the king is wise-"
Zhou Budo thought for a while and smiled. "In this way, Lu Meng will definitely be able to scheming-"
"Dawang - do you want Taiwan to send troops to respond?"
Suddenly, the Shadow Commander Deng Zhi suddenly stood up and said in a serious tone. "Well—not yet." Liu Xuan shook his head slightly and said. "The time hasn't come yet—"
"But it can make the Taiwan side ready-when the Dongwu army rushes to the front, it can move north at any time and attack the hinterland of Dongwu-" Liu Xuan sneered, "At that time-Gu really wants to see that Sun Quan's rear was attacked, but the feeling of helplessness is geometry-"
A few days followed.
Jingzhou and Yizhou are boiling again. A large number of soldiers were secretly mobilized. Especially in the land of Bashu Jiangzhou - although Yizhou has done a secretive job, Dongwu has not heard about it, but Jingzhou is at the door of Dongwu's house.
Zhang Fei led his troops to the north suddenly, and Zhao Yun, Wen Ping, and Huang Zhong suddenly put on a posture and looked like they were waiting for the battle-this news soon reached the hands of Lu Meng, who was sitting in Lukou City.
Lukou Castle. Within the prefectural office.
Lu Meng looked at the general Zhu Ran and said. "Zhang Fei going north? Zhao Yun, Wen Ping, Huang Zhong are waiting for the battle? Lu Meng frowned slightly. What about Yizhou? ”
"Oh, according to the bayonet report - Liu Xuan personally led the troops from Hanzhong to the three eastern counties, it seems that he is going to send troops from the three eastern counties to threaten Nanyang County, and Wei Yan and Zhang Fei's armies will attack in two ways——"
"Huh?"
Lu Meng frowned suddenly, and leaned forward to the map to observe carefully. "Liu Xuan, what kind of calculation is this?" Lu Meng vaguely smelled a hint of conspiracy.
But Lu Meng couldn't tell what medicine Liu Xuan was selling in the gourd, so he had to look at Zhu Ran and say. "Order the bayonet to find out the truth of the news that Liu Xuan sent troops north from the three eastern counties to threaten Nanyang County as soon as possible."
Lu Meng looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly Lu Meng's eyes lit up, "In addition-order the soldiers not to relax recently--all holidays are canceled, and a beacon tower will be built along the river immediately - thirty meters one, and the enemy will send a signal." ”
"This ...... Here. Zhu Ran hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and agreed.
Lu Meng looked at Zhu Ran's expression coldly, looked at Zhu Ran's back and snorted coldly. Then his eyes were on the map for a long time. There was a flash of doubt and coldness in his eyes. "Hmph, Liu Xuan'er, no matter what your purpose is—there will be a beacon tower on your side, so what can you do with me?"
