Chapter 635, Pre-War Inventory
When he and Wang Yu easily broke through the first water village, Liu Feng once asked Zhou Yu if he could defeat the Jiangxia Navy with the current strength of the Jiangdong Navy. At that time, Zhou Yu looked at Liu Feng with an incredible look, as if he couldn't imagine that his lord would ask this question.
Fortunately, when Liu Feng felt embarrassed, Zhou Yu reacted, said "impossible" in an affirmative tone, and said that if you want to compete with the Jiangxia Water Army, you need to train for at least another year, and if you want to defeat the Jingzhou Water Army, in addition to expanding the strength of the Water Army, you need to train for at least another three years.
Therefore, Jiangxia is not so easy to fight, even if there is a problem in Jingnan, Liu Biao will not relax Jiangxia's defense. Huang Zu was very unbearable in the face of Jiangdong's attack, and was even captured, but in fact, Huang Zu's ability was still very strong, but he encountered a stronger Jiangdong who had grown up, and only Huang Zu was in Jiangxia that made Liu Biao feel at ease. So after Huang Zu was captured, Liu Biao still replaced him back, and still served as Jiangxia Taishou until he was later killed in the battle with Jiangdong.
Therefore, Huang Zu is definitely a figure to be reckoned with, and behind him, there is also the support of the Jiangxia Huang family, the Anlu Huang family, which is also a big family that has produced three princes more than once, and Huang Wan was also one of the earliest state pastors in Liu Hong's era. It's a pity that Huang Wan himself didn't have that ambition and failed to become one of the princes and be replaced by others. Later, Huang Wan was forced to move west to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo, and fell to Dong with Wang Yun.
Today's Jiangdong, if you don't use Yuan Shu, you can only fight Jingzhou's idea, so even if it is difficult, you have to choose one of them, if you hesitate, you can temporarily ensure the safety of Jiangdong, but who knows if it will be caught up by other players. After all, the second prince has already appeared, will the third be far away? Just last winter, Chang'an had issued an edict, Feng Tiance was named the Marquis of Tai Township, promoted to Jing Zhao Yin, presided over the three counties of Jing Zhao Yin, Zuo Feng Yi, and Right Fufeng, and wiped out the remnants of the Xiliang Army.
The Jinyang Imperial Court, or Lu Bu's mind is firm, and it will never give the Zaixi Liang Army any space to survive, which is also the will of everyone who escaped from Chang'an. Of course, it is not excluded to use this opportunity to let Tiance Mansion and Guo Yan and Fan Chou consume each other, so as not to have a second Liu Feng's purpose. But in the same way, this is also the best opportunity for Tiance Mansion to come to the forefront, expand its strength, include the entire Yongzhou into its sphere of influence, and declare its prestige.
So Liu Feng didn't dare to stop, there was movement around him, he had to act.
If the Jingnan Rebellion can't seize such a good opportunity, how can it be said to achieve something great in this game.
"Gong Jin, if the navy wants to block the Jiangxia navy, how long do you need to train?" Patting his head, which was a little dazed because of thinking about the problem, Liu Feng asked Zhou Yu, "I'm talking about blocking." Liu Feng emphasized the word "block".
"It will take at least half a year, but in this way, the navy will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the navy that has just become an army will return to the original point again." Zhou Yu understood the meaning of Liu Feng's words.
"Then recruit more sailors, strengthen training, and cultivate qualified sailors in war." Liu Feng said, "At the beginning, our army could develop step by step like this, and there is no reason why the strength has increased now, but the navy army can't do this." No matter how great the consumption is, it must be carried on, and once the civil strife breaks out in Jingzhou, it is impossible for us to stop and wait. ”
"Subordinates do their best." Zhou Yu responded.
"Xiaozhang, how are you preparing money and food?" Liu Feng looked at Sheng Xian.
"The last battle of Lujiang consumed too much, and after the war ended, most of the capture was left in Lujiang to support the construction of Anhui City, so there was basically no gain. Now, after a year of repairs, the revenues from various places have been sealed into the treasury, but with the surplus from before, it can only last for one year of war consumption on the same scale as last time, and if it is longer, there will be problems with the supply of the rear. In terms of money, there is not much left, and if the battlefield casualties are too great, there is not even enough pension. Sheng Xian said.
"This is a problem, if there is a war, I don't want to fight Lujiang. During the Lujiang War, Yuan Shu had no time to take care of us, so we picked up a bargain and achieved the expected goal. Hearing this news, Liu Feng had an even more headache, "If there is a war with Jingzhou, whether it is Guiyang or Jiangxia, it will not be easy to end, and the scale will be even larger." Therefore, Sheng Cheng, your task is very heavy, hoarding a series of armaments such as grain and grass in preparation for war, because it is impossible for this officer to let his soldiers go to war hungry. ”
"The lord is merciful, and his subordinates thank the lord for all the soldiers." As the commander, Bai Jian spoke.
"No thanks, they deserve it." Liu Feng said.
"Your subordinates should do their best." Sheng Xian expressed his position while thinking about whether to ask for help from the Wu Jun Shi clan and ask their caravan to help buy grain from the north.
"Bai Dudu, how is the army's preparations?" Liu Feng asked Bai Jiandao again.
"An army of 5 million can be dispatched at any time, and if there is a period of time, 8 million troops can be mobilized to go out without affecting local security." Bai Jian said.
"Very good, Bai Dudu does things, I am very relieved. Then mobilize 5 million people first, and in various ways, without attracting the attention of others, transfer these troops to Yuzhang. Although we are not sure when war will occur, it is necessary to prepare a little earlier. Liu Feng said, "Once the war starts, perhaps the navy will play a great role, but in the end, it is the army that will attack the city and seize the land, and Bai Dudu must remember his mission." ”
"My subordinates understand." Bai Jian replied.
"Zibu, Ziyu, your task is not light, the management of Jiangdong government affairs depends on you, although there may be more wars in recent years, but the internal development can not be relaxed, especially the construction of the Chi Road can not be stopped, at least to ensure the smooth flow of the main Chi Road from Wu County to the counties." Liu Feng looked at Zhang Zhao and Hua Xin again.
"What the lord said is very true, but the problem now is that the development strategy based on the military premise has led to insufficient funds for the development of people's livelihood, and it is really difficult to meet the needs. According to the previous plan of the lord, each county should have a gallop road to ensure the convenience of the march, but the reality is that except for the northern part of Wu County, which has invested more in recent years, other people, including the earliest Huiji, cannot do this. Zhang Zhao said, "It is already good to be able to ensure a road connecting all counties." ”
"This ......" Liu Feng was a little embarrassed, his idea was good, but he had no choice but to say that this thing is a big money-swallowing household, in this era, and you can't collect tolls, you can't set up checkpoints randomly, you can't make ends meet. In the past few years, when there was no war, it was good that there were more funds to build roads, but once there was a war, the cost of funds was too great, and it was not easy to ensure the smooth flow of the main roads.
"Well, let's do our best in this matter, it seems that we have to find a new source of money." Liu Feng said.

PS: I'm really sorry, a few days ago, the high temperature of nearly 40 degrees, after listening to the electricity for three days, I was forced to cut off. After that, I caught a cold again, and I couldn't sit down and code words, so I dragged it to this day. When I started to continue writing, I found that it had been stopped for a long time, and I forgot the previous plot, and I didn't know where to start, and it took me a long time to code this point. I'm sorry, forgive me, and thank you for still supporting the book.
