Chapter 578: The Emaciated Camel

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Cao Cao actually understands that with Cao Zhi's temperament and the current environment of the Wei State, Cao Zhi will succeed to the throne......

Cao Cao didn't want to leave such a Wei State to Cao Zhi!

However, Cao Cao's headaches have become more and more serious in recent years......

Since the news of "Emperor Han left Xudu" came, Cao Cao fell ill for the first time, and he had to commit it several times a year, and it became more and more frequent.

Cao Cao actually had twelve years of life in history.

However, because of the White Rabbit effect, Cao Cao's first onset was much earlier, and he ...... Hua Tuo is still in Jinling!

Bai Tu and Hua Tuo are actually very welcome, Cao Cao went to Jinling to see a doctor, but Cao Cao himself was unwilling to go, so there was no way.

Cao Cao knew that the current Wei State was not suitable for Cao Zhi at all, but there was no better way.

First, Cao Pi is far away in Jinling, and he hasn't seen him for many years, and he doesn't know if he is crooked now, as for the other sons, don't say it, the key is that he is too young; Second, the establishment of Cao Zhi as the prince did ease the contradictions of Wei a lot, but this soothing way made Cao Cao very uneasy.

"An Wei Hou...... Ha. When Cao Cao was alone, he remembered this section again and smiled interestingly.

He didn't show so angry outside, after all, Cao Pi was his son, so he would not be convinced at this time, but it was in line with Cao Cao's understanding of him.

In contrast, the state of Chu is much more harmonious now.

……

For the official declaration of war by Wei, Chu has also made preparations, and in terms of military arrangements, the palace and the Privy Council have reached an agreement before.

Although there are differences at the DPRK meeting, they are actually only a "small matter".

Because of the Wei army, all the students sent by the Wei government have been expelled......

However, in the follow-up treatment, Wei Chen had disagreements.

Some felt that they should be seized first and treated as prisoners, while the other part felt that the study tour should be sent back.

Because the condition for opening up foreign students to apply for the examination is to maintain cooperation with the Chu State, and now that the Wei State tore up the agreement first, there is a great reason for the Chu State to really detain them.

In the end, it was Bai Tu who made a decision and sent them back to Wei, and in all the universities, counted the students who wanted to leave, and then all of them were sent back by Chu by ship.

At the same time, the Wei students who have not left are required to sign a letter of guarantee, and if they contribute to the Wei State before the end of the Chu-Wei War in the future, once discovered, they will be punished for the crime of undermining the security of the Chu State.

According to Bai Tu's words, most of the Wei students who have not left now do not have a deep background, otherwise they would have returned to China a few months in advance......

Besides, the technology that Chu really wants to keep secret will not be taught to them, so it is better to leave a good impression, and wait for the reunification of the north in the future, and also want this group of students who have already received "Chu Studies" to make the north return faster.

What's more, the "Enlightenment Department" already has undercover agents among these students!

……

In June of the eighth year of the Chu calendar, the Wei State was blocked in attacking Liaodong Port, the terrain of Liaodong Port was too easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after the land was blocked with barbed wire and trenches, it was difficult for the entire southern part of the peninsula to enter, and the sea attack also had to face the artillery array on the cliff of Linhai Mountain!

With less than 20,000 people, it is difficult to gain anything from the soldiers, horses, boats and boats that have mobilized five or six times as many as the Wei State......

Helplessly, the Wei army had no choice but to besiege Liaodong Port instead of attacking it - after all, Liaodong is now Wei's, and the sea route is completely blocked, and no matter how much material savings there are, there will be a day when they will run out.

Even the Wei State is not simply encircling the point to send reinforcements, but also attacking Donglai, entering Donglai East Port and East Laixi Port!

At this time, Liu Bei had already gone to Longyou, preparing to join Ma Teng and Han Sui in an attempt to conspire with Hanzhong, so he also had little reaction to the naval battle that happened under his nose.

And gathered in the Bohai Sea, there is a super fleet, including most of the smuggler ships of the Wei State......

Although the ships are relatively dilapidated, although the quality of the sailors is uneven, although ...... It may not be completely obeyed by the command, but what cannot be ignored is that there are more than 50 warships with more than 300 people, more than 400 warships with more than 100 people, 10,000 small warships, and a total of more than 200,000 sailors!

Eighty percent of them are "civilian fleets that love Wei".

At this time, in the central and northern parts of the Bohai Sea, except for the blocked Liaodong Port, there was almost no fleet of the Chu State, and only the southeast was able to hold out because of the existence of Donglai Port......

And Donglai East Port and East Laixi Port, but there is no Liaodong Port that is inherently Jedi-like terrain, and they really have to resist, even if many basic service warships have already carried guns, but in the face of such a number of Wei troops, they are still carrying Mount Tai.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wei State deliberately made the gathering momentum so big, and did not fight a quick battle, I am afraid that it is waiting for the elite naval support of Chu State, and then annihilating it, which is almost a conspiracy.

However, the state of Chu obviously did not want to give up the port of Donglai again, because that would mean that the state of Chu would completely withdraw from the Bohai Sea, and then the port of Zhouhu and even Bozhou would be under the direct threat of the Wei state!

As a "skinny camel", the state of Chu was still under the strong pressure of the Wei state, and Li Lingzhi sent the last 30,000 elite navies, including even 8,000 "ocean-going defeated dogs" who were physically and mentally exhausted......

The number of fleets is even more miserable, as the absolute main force of the Chu Navy, there are less than 30 "big ships" that can be counted, and other small boats such as pole mineboats and frigates are counted, and the scale is less than 200 ships, which is simply miserable!

Knowing that the Chu navy was tragically dispatched, the Wei State and the Han family were even a little happy, especially the latter......

First, I can't wait for both sides to lose, and second, if Chu State is coaxed, maybe I can relax in the future.

Wei is also already making two plans: a narrow victory and a complete victory......

Needless to say, if you win a narrow victory, you must first digest the Bohai Sea, and then the port of Chu in Hu, Xutu Prefecture, and the Bozhou side will not make Chu too comfortable, I heard that it is a place where a large amount of silver is produced.

And if you win big......

It's not a big chance, but it's always a dream!

If it really wins a big victory, it is completely possible to consider taking the East China Sea and completely destroying the maritime combat capability of the Chu State, at least ...... It is also necessary to press the sea power of the Chu State back to Yizhou and Tiannan.

Of course, if it really comes to this point, maybe Qi Hou's navy can't help but jump, and can't let Wei become beautiful.

Bai Tu can probably understand the thoughts of the Wei State and the Han family, but ......

Anyway, for the Chu State, it is necessary to have a gunboat of 100 tons to be considered a "big ship", a pole mineboat and a frigate boat of 10 tons to be regarded as a "small boat", and as for the following iron-clad wooden ships...... There is no need to count, and there are indeed not many.

Chu State's hole card, it is indeed the 30,000 elite navy, and the less than 200 warships.

"If Wei can really win, I can only admit it, and Bohai will give it to them!" Bai Tu looked at the sea chart and said solemnly.

But the rest of the palace didn't pay any attention to him......
