Chapter 122: Sinister intentions
Shendu, Lianghou Mansion.
Huan Wu looked at the two reports in front of him, one in front of him and one after the other, and his brows were about to twist into a river.
The two reports were sent from the front line of Nanyang County a day apart. Huan Wu on the front foot was still gloating, Cai Tong and Yang Xian Xiaoer fought, and the two on the back foot shook hands and made peace, and Cai Tong also gave Dankou to Yang Xian.
What is this?
"Tell me, what does Yang Xian want to do?"
Huan Wu only summoned a few cronies in the mansion to him and discussed this matter.
The reason why Nanyang County is important is not only because it is the junction of Liang, Shu and Chu, but also because once there is a loss here, then Guanzhong and Shendu will be shaken, and the location is too important.
Huan Wu's gaze looked at the strategists in front of him one by one, and finally fell on Meng Qing's body.
"Zongshi, tell me about it."
Meng Qing has delicate eyebrows, posture and demeanor, and is extraordinary, which can be described as a beautiful man. Being named by Huan Wu, Meng Qing was obviously a little surprised.
There are more than a dozen strategists in this Huanwu Mansion in front of him, although most of them are outside, it is not his turn to be the first to speak!
"Lord Yu, the intelligence on the front line shows that Yang Xian clashed with Cai Tong for the sake of Fan Qing's old department in Qingshui County. The two sides fought a big battle in Black Tiger Mountain, but they were reconciled again. It is reported that Yang Xian once captured Cai Tong, but he did not treat him well. These two people have different thoughts, but they have one thing in common, they both regard the lord as an enemy. ”
Huan Wu nodded, agreed, and listened to Meng Qing continue.
"Dankou is in Nanyang County, west of Xiyong County, where water is dense. Because of the war, there are few people nowadays. Yang Xian wants this place, I'm afraid he wants a strategic fulcrum. ”
"Fulcrum?"
"If Yang Xian wants to go out of Shu, one will cross a hundred miles of Shu Road into Yongzhou, and the other will enter Jing through the river. The former is not easy, and the latter is difficult to take. Now that Yang Xian is allied with Zhu Zi again, the remaining way is to enter Nanyang through Yongshui and attack Guanzhong on the side. ”
The strategists present all shook their heads, feeling a little whimsical, Zhao Ye said: "Xiyong County is sparsely populated, and the fields are barren. Although Yizhou is rich, Yang Xian wants to pass through Xiyong, and he is afraid that it will be difficult. Not to mention using it as a springboard to enter Nanyang. ”
Huan Wu's gaze shifted from Zhao Ye to Meng Qing, as if expecting him to continue.
Meng Qing arched his hand to Zhao Ye and said, "In a short period of time, Yang Xian does not have the ability to pose a threat to our army in Nanyang, but if he can train a naval army. At that time, Yang Xian's tens of thousands of troops gathered in Zhounan County will be able to go up from Yongshui to Dankou, but it will only take ten days. ”
"Trolls?"
Everyone present was a little surprised, although Liang Jun said that he had been crisscrossing the north and south for more than ten years, he was really not familiar with the navy at all. Most of the generals in the Liang army are land generals, but there are really few strong generals on the water.
The generals in the army who are proficient in water warfare are all in Wu and Chu, and Cai Tong's general Wen Qing is one of them. Over the years, no matter how many advantages Liang Jun has achieved in Nanyang, he was finally pulled back by Wen Qing on the water.
Huan Wu's eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
If there is a naval army, Yang Xian can certainly do what Meng Qing said. But is it so easy to train?
It is because of Huan Wu's wealth and generosity, he has built warships and trained sailors for many years, but if he wants to fight against Wu Chu, he still wins less and loses more, and loses money and food in vain.
"Zongshi, it is difficult to practice as a water master, you should know this. Can Yang Xian train so easily? ”
"The lord of Qiqi, the minister thinks that if you want to train a good naval army, the first thing is to win souls. The generals in the world who are proficient in water warfare are all in Wu Chu, but there is one exception. ”
"Who?"
"In the past, Yuan Cheng, the head of Chengtian Taoism, sat down as one of the eight truths, Tang Dafu. Although this person inherits the lineage of stars, he is a master of water warfare. Yang Xian asked Cai Tong to pardon the Chengtian Daoist in Jingzhou, and he was kind to Chengtian Dao, and Ye Dongyang and Wang Yaoxian were on the side, and this person was likely to move Yang Xian. ”
Huan Wu's face changed, and he already had an idea in his heart, but he still said: "This person is indeed powerful, not only good at water warfare, but also extremely sleek. ”
"The minister thinks that no matter whether Yang Xian can say that Tang Dafu can be moved, this Dankou will never let Yang Xian go. The Chu army was not good at land warfare, but the army under Yang Xian was different. If the two are combined, knock the pass to the north, Nanyang is difficult to defend, the pass is shaken, the Central Plains is swinging, and the gods are not restless. ”
"Yang Xian'er, her intentions are so sinister."
As Meng Qing said, the situation deteriorated to such an extent that General Huan Wu had to press the 200,000 troops near this divine capital to the Central Plains. When the time comes, there will be no force around him that can be used.
After this meeting, Huan Wu left Meng Qing alone. With a wave of his hand, he beckoned Meng Qing to the front and commanded in a low voice.
"Zongshi, I have one thing I want you to do."
Southwest County, Golden Lion Harbor.
Hundreds of people gathered around the shipyard in the open space of the harbor to witness the launch of the third warship of the Southwestern County. As the ship smoothly entered the harbor from the dock, the cheers rang out.
This warship was a drawing obtained by Yang Xian from his manufacturing skills and delivered to the craftsmen of Shu to make it. This warship is a sea ship, capable of sailing far in the deep sea, hunting for rare materials, items, and even aliens in the sea.
The fishing boats at sea are fluttering, and in the fishing grounds, on the wide drying platform, there are no fresh fish in the sea, but there are more than ten corpses of sea dragons.
Wang Yaoxian was in this fishing ground, watching the fishermen in the fishing ground peel off a freshly killed sea dragon, dig up the bloody flesh from it, and extract the muscles and bones. The scene was bloody, but these people were used to it.
Samoko trotted over from a distance, shirtless, sweating profusely.
"Lord Wang, I have already taken care of the transport convoy."
Samoko is really enlightened, the sea dragon that was feared like a ghost by the fishermen of the coastal tribes in the past is no different from ordinary fish, and there are more than a dozen of them lying down.
This Wang Yaoxian is really not a good stubble! Samoko muttered in his heart, remembering what Jiao An had said to him when they first met.
"The prime minister sent a letter, asking us to speed up and transport the sea keel and the water bead to Zhounan County. The sea dragons captured now are not enough. ”
"Isn't that enough?" Samoko said it casually, and then realized that he was out of shape, "But I'm worried that if I continue to hunt sea dragons in the sea, I'm afraid that it will provoke the anger of the sea clan, and it won't end well." ”
"This matter is related to the great cause of the prime minister, and it cannot be lost. It's just a, what if you're angry? ”
At this moment, a soldier came to report.
"Great King, there is a group of people who have entered our clan territory and claim to be the Chengtian Daoists of Jingzhou!"
Wang Yao smiled first, is it finally here?
"King Yi, from tomorrow, speed up the construction progress of the three warships in the dock. At the beginning of spring next year, I want six warships to go to sea at the same time. ”
