Shangguan Xiu said thoughtfully: "Do you think that if you want to break the enemy, you must first break the enemy's naval army." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo【x.】”

"Exactly!" Zhang Luan analyzed: "Your Highness, in Sichuan County, the army is not to be worried, only the navy is the most threatening. The three-way water army, the Tianyuan water army is from Feng County, the Zhenjiang water army is from Mo County, the two armies come from afar, Yuchuan County has no roots and no foundation, and it is not a big threat to us, and our henchmen are close to the East China Sea army. Weichen thinks that to break the enemy first to break the water army, and to break the water army, you should first break the East China Sea army. ”

"Chen, get the map!" Shangguan Xiu listened carefully, and when Zhang Luan finished speaking, he raised his head to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen agreed, and asked people to take the map and spread it directly on the ground. Without waiting for Zhao Chen to speak, Li Ying squatted down, pointed to the map, and said, "Your Highness, the East China Sea Army camp is here!"

The East China Sea Army is located at the mouth of the Dongjiang River. Dongjiang is the eastern boundary river between Anjun and Sichuan County, and the Donghai Sea Army camp is located at the mouth of Dongjiang River, which means that half of it is in Anjun and half is in Sichuan County, but in terms of administration, it belongs to Anjun.

Among the four major naval armies in the Wind Country, the Southeast Water Army is undoubtedly the strongest and ranks first, and the strength of the East China Sea Army is second only to the Southeast Water Army. The southeast navy is strong in shipbuilding technology, the hull is strong, the hull is huge, the Zhenhai ship is one of the representative works of the southeast navy, but also represents the highest level of shipbuilding technology at that time. The East China Sea Army is strong in terms of wealth, Anjun does not have much anything, that is, a lot of silver, and the East China Sea Army has the strong financial resources of Anjun as the backing, and has never been worried because of the lack of gold and silver.

Among the four major naval armies of the Wind Country, the East China Sea Army has the largest number of troops, more than 100,000 people, and the most warships, more than 1,000, but there are only ten giant warships of the Zhenhai ship type, and the East China Sea Army has only ten, and they are all purchased from the Southeast Water Army, and the East China Sea Army's own dock does not have the technology to build such a huge ship.

Li Ying's finger sketched on the map and explained: "The Dongjiang River is a main trunk of the waters of Sichuan County, almost diagonally across the entire territory of Sichuan County, from Yuhang Mountain in the west to the East China Sea in the east, and there are countless tributary rivers along the way. Once the Tianyuan Navy and the Zhenjiang Navy Army arrive at the East China Sea Army camp, they can merge with the East China Sea Army, go to the sea area, and attack the eastern coastal areas of Sichuan County, and go to the Dongjiang River, they can go deep into the hinterland of Sichuan County and attack the inland of Sichuan County, which is really a problem for our henchmen. ”

Even if it is not a hostile relationship, the Southeast China Sea Army and the East China Sea Army have never gotten along with each other, and both sides regard each other as fierce enemies and competitors.

Take the Zhenhai ship as an example, the wealthy East China Sea Army ordered 50 ships from the Southeast Water Army, but the Southeast Navy would rather sell the Zhenhai ship to Tianyuan and Zhenjiang than sell it to the East China Sea Army. As a result, this order was delayed for twenty or thirty years, and the lawsuit did not know how many times it reached the imperial court, and in the end, the emperor couldn't stand it anymore, and personally issued an order, ordering the Southeast Navy to deliver the Zhenhai ships to the East China Sea Army, but even so, the Southeast Navy Army still dragged on for ten years before successively handing over the ten Zhenhai ships of the East China Sea Army, and as for the other forty Zhenhai ships, there was no news, and they have not been delivered to the East China Sea Army until today.

If the East China Sea Army is allowed to have 50 Zhenhai ships, then the position of the boss of the Wind Country Navy will immediately have to be replaced by the East China Sea Army, and the Southeast Navy will be reduced to a foil.

Through this incident, it can be seen that the bad relationship between the two naval armies, although they are comrades, they are far more afraid of each other than they are of the enemy.

But then again, in the context of land warfare as the king at that time, the Wind Country Water Army really had no enemies, and if it didn't fight in the nest, I was afraid that it wouldn't even be able to find a target for struggle.

Zhang Luan and Li Ying were both orthodox generals of the Southeast Water Army, and naturally they were also deeply influenced by the traditions of the army, and they did not have the slightest good impression of the East China Sea Army. Now that the Southeast Sea Army has returned to the imperial court, and the East China Sea Army is still a rebel army, with such a legitimate opportunity to flatten the East China Sea Army, neither of them wants to let it go, not to mention, the threat of the East China Sea Army to them is real, and the two of them have not exaggerated in the slightest.

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Who is the commander of the East China Sea Army now?"

"Li Yongfu!" Zhang Luan and Li Ying didn't think about it, and said in unison.

Li Yongfu, a famous general of the Fengguo Water Army, when he was only a battalion captain, he only led 300 naval troops and five small and medium-sized warships to defeat thousands of pirates, and this battle also made Li Yongfu famous in the first war, deterring the coastal areas east of Anjun, the fishermen in the east of Anjun, and have not been attacked by pirates for more than 20 years.

However, he served as the chief general of the East China Sea Army recently, Li Yongfu's position in the East China Sea Army was not high, he was only a corps-level partial general, and he was also a low-level partial general, not that he was not reused, nor that he was excluded by his superiors, just because he was a civilian, with his background, it was already the limit to be a low-level partial general at the corps level.

After Tang Yu became emperor in Beijing, he abolished the aristocratic system, and Li Yongfu was finally no longer restricted by the strict aristocratic hierarchy, and was suddenly promoted to the chief general of the East China Sea Army.

In this regard, no one in the East China Sea Army objected, even Li Yongfu's former top boss, did not feel jealous because of his continuous promotion, but was happy and convinced, which shows that Li Yongfu's prestige in the East China Sea Army is high, and it can also be seen that the aristocratic system has a great suppressive force on talents.

Li Ying gave a general account of Li Yongfu's life and deeds to Shangguanxiu, and finally said: "Li Yongfu is good at commanding troops, even better at water warfare, and his prestige in the army is high, and the strength of the East China Sea Army is not what it used to be, and it should not be underestimated, and Li Yongfu is still appreciated by Tang Yu and promoted, and his loyalty to Tang Yu is by no means comparable to others!"

"In this way, it is no longer possible to Zhao'an Li Yongfu and Zhao'an Donghai Army!" Shangguan Xiu said quietly.

Zhang Luan and Li Ying nodded slowly, with Li Yongfu's character, it was difficult to make him defect. Shangguan Xiu asked, "If our army goes head-to-head with the East China Sea Army, how sure are we of victory?"

"This ...... It should be about fifty percent!" Zhang Luan replied cautiously.

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "The Southeast Water Army, known as the No. 1 Water Army in the Wind Country, is only fifty percent sure of winning against the East China Sea Army?"

Zhang Luan secretly smiled bitterly, even if he was fifty percent sure of winning, he still said more. He cleared his throat and said, "If Du Fei and Du Yu are still there, our army will be able to win against the East China Sea Army, and the certainty of victory is seventy percent upward!"

You can say that Du Fei and Du Yu have bad character, or you can say that they are full of evil and deserve death, but no one can deny the two brothers' command ability and command ability in the water war, and more than 100 generals of the Southeast Navy Army were killed along with Du Fei and Du Yu, and the Southeast Navy lost so many core backbones at once, and it is impossible for the strength not to be affected. Zhang Luan is self-aware, and with his current experience and ability, it is more than enough to be a corps commander, but as the commander of an army, he still lacks some heat.

Zhang Luan's truth-telling not only did not cause Shangguan Xiu's dissatisfaction, but also made him appreciate Zhang Luan a little more. The most valuable thing for people is to have self-knowledge, and only when you know what you are lacking will you know how to make up for it.

He patted Zhang Luan on the shoulder with a smile and encouraged: "No one is born to fight, they are all tempered bit by bit, I believe that in a few years, General Zhang's ability will never be under Du Fei and Du Yu!"

In officialdom, it is rare to have a good boss, and what is even more rare is that this boss is also a Bole who is not jealous.

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, Zhang Luan's heart was warm, and he bowed to Shangguan Xiu respectfully, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Weichen Xie His Royal Highness cultivates! For His Highness, even if he goes to the soup and fires, and his liver and brain are smeared, Weichen will not give up!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, didn't say anything, lowered his gaze, and landed on the map again. After looking at it for a moment, he said, "General Li." ”

Li Ying was looking at Shangguan Xiu with bright eyes at this time, the current Shangguan Xiu was completely different from the Shangguan Xiu when she was disguised as Zhang Huo, but the pair of eyes that seemed to be able to absorb people's souls did not change at all.

It wasn't until Shangguan Xiu called General Li twice in a row that Li Ying came back to her senses, she coughed unnaturally, intervened in the salute, and said, "The last will be." ”

Shangguan Xiu gave her a strange look, but he didn't delve into her distraction, and asked, "How is the morale of the brothers in the navy?"

"Slightly low. "The Southeast Navy has changed its flag, and the generals from head to bottom have almost changed all over again, and it would be strange if the morale of the soldiers below was not affected.

Shangguan Xiu lowered his head in contemplation, rolled his eyes, and said: "General Li, you put aside the military affairs at hand for the time being, and from now on, give me all efforts to build a female soldier corps, and the source of soldiers can be collected locally in Sichuan County!"

Not to mention that Zhang Luan and Li Ying were secretly surprised, even the generals of Luo Ren were all full of inexplicability.

Although Shangguan Xiu reused a cadre of female generals, such as Sui Tangjing, Jia Caixuan, Duan Zhiqing and others, it did not mean that he really accepted them in his heart, but he was a little repulsive to them. In Shangguan Xiu's mind, fighting is the business of men, as long as the men are not dead, as long as the men's bones are still hard, they should not let the women of their country go into battle to kill the enemy. Men fight, women take care of their families, men plunder outside, women sit at home and count money, at this point, Shangguan Xiu's thinking is very traditional.

Luo Ren and the others were also deeply influenced by Shangguan Xiu's thoughts, and they all held the same concept. In the Zhenjun Army, there has never been any female soldier corps, female barracks and the like, at most there are female soldiers with personal soldiers, and they are all placed next to female generals.

Now that I heard that Shangguan Xiu was going to set up a female soldier corps in the Southeast Water Army, how could everyone not be surprised?

Li Ying asked curiously: "I don't know if His Highness set up the Women's Soldier Corps for ......"

Shangguan Xiu didn't answer Li Ying's question, but said: "This female soldier corps is personally trained by General Li, as long as you guarantee one thing, their combat strength will never be worse than that of male soldiers, it is possible?"

Li Ying's face was straight, this was the first task given to her by Shangguan Xiu, even if she couldn't do it, she had to grit her teeth and do it! She bowed down and said, "The last general will not disgrace his mission!"

Shangguan Xiu nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said categorically to Luo Ren: "Gather the soldiers, for Yifu and the soldiers who are broken in Sipan Mountain, and do it!"

Due to the fact that there was still a tough battle to be fought in Sichuan County, the Zhenjun army could not leave Sichuan County for the time being, and went to Anjun to fight the rebels to the death, so they could only continue to stay in Sichuan County, and held a funeral ceremony for An Yifu and more than 60,000 fallen soldiers of the Fourth Army in Sichuan County.

The funeral held by the Jungjun Army was not held secretly, but was carried out with great fanfare and paraded throughout the city.

The funeral procession was opened by the gendarmes, followed by a cavalry cavalry caravan, each of whom held a black wooden spirit tablet with the name of the fallen general.

Behind the cavalry phalanx was the infantry phalanx, each carrying a military badge with the names of the fallen soldiers engraved on it.

The Zhenjun Army is not afraid that the people of Sichuan will know the news of the disastrous defeat of the Fourth Army, nor is it afraid that people will know how many soldiers they have killed in battle, or, this is the confidence of the Zhenjun Army.

Shangguan Xiu said that the death of the brothers was to sacrifice their lives for the country, they died well, they died vigorously, and they died supremely, and their names should be remembered by all the Fengren, not secretly and secretively hidden. The soul of the martyrs should live forever in the world.

The soldiers of the First Legion, holding the spirit card of the fallen soldiers of the Fourth Legion, entered from the north city of Sichuan Prefecture, walked to the south city, and then walked from the south city to the east city, and finally went to the west city, and went out of the city through the west city gate.

During the tour of the city, the soldiers sang in unison: "The country is in trouble, I should go to the battle, the horse leather shroud, strengthen my majesty-"

In the whole Sichuan City, the streets are full of black and oppressive people, but the whole city is silent, only the tragic and unyielding song of the wind song remains. Listening to this, many people could not help but burst into tears.
