Chapter 26 Jingzhou Water Army
For Wei Yan, this opportunity is rare.
Although he is only in his twenties, he has been waiting for this day for a long time. Since he joined the army, he naturally wants to make meritorious contributions instead of being a pawn in the army.
The conquest of Wuxi Man, this matter is not simple.
Even because of the terrain and other factors, the process must have been very difficult, but Wei Yan did not hesitate.
He believed in the change of his destiny, and it began from here!
Looking at the solemn Wei Yan, Liu Qi stretched out his hand to help him up, smiled and asked:
"Wen Chang doesn't have to be like this, my son believes in your ability."
The matter is decided.
Liu Qi turned back to look at Huang Zhong and said:
"If the general trend is like today, does Hansheng have an understanding?"
Hearing this, Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he was stationed in Changsha City, and the news channel was not smooth.
Seeing his expression, Liu Qi knew in his heart, but he didn't dwell on anything, but continued:
"Now, Cao Cao has swept away the northern heroes, and there are many temptations for my Jingzhou. I'm afraid it won't be long before I send troops south and force into my Jingzhou territory.
Cao Cao is powerful, and in the face of such a strong enemy, this son did not dare to relax, and summoned General Hansheng here for this matter. ”
Huang Zhong suddenly realized that he had a great responsibility.
It was because he was not afraid to say:
"Don't worry, the lord is old, but he also has a long knife, and he will teach that Cao thief to know how powerful!"
Liu Qi nodded lightly, and continued:
"In addition to Hansheng, Ben Gongzi also transferred Wen Zhongye, and then he will go to command the naval army, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jingbei, Ben Gongzi wants to hand over to General Hansheng to command."
Huang Zhong was stunned again.
This is 30,000 soldiers and horses, of course Wen Ping knows that he is a general who is a close confidant of Liu. Now Liu Qi has transferred away from Wenpin, but he has let himself lead these 30,000 Jingzhou foot soldiers.
The intention can be imagined.
His heart sank, and he was touched a lot.
I didn't expect that I was in my twilight years, but I could meet the Yin Lord, and I suddenly felt a lot of emotion, and said conclusively:
"Thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, Huang Zhong will definitely repay him with death."
The people of this era are sincere.
Before Liu Qi finished speaking, he thought about giving him a hard time.
He had to cry and laugh:
"Hansheng, your mind, this son is naturally white.
However, you sent the troops to guard Jingbei, not to fight to the death with the Cao army, as long as you delayed and maneuvered.
Cao's army is strong, and 30,000 soldiers and horses are not worth mentioning. ”
Huang Zhong was stunned, and Liu Qi continued:
"But with today's situation, Jingzhou and Cao Cao will definitely have a battle to the death, and then you will need Hansheng."
After talking so much, Huang Zhong said in a deep voice:
"The last general is white!"
Then, Liu Qi continued:
"The son of Yin Japan wants to inspect the Xiangyang Navy with Wen Zhongye, so let's go with the two of you!"
……
The entire Jingzhou is roughly divided into three water armies.
That is, the Xiangyang Water Army, the Yangtze River Water Army and the Jiangxia Water Army, the first two are all controlled by Cai Mao. The last Jiangxia Navy is actually the most elite of the Jingzhou Navy Army.
This part of the water army is controlled by Huang Zu.
Although Huang Zu was not able to do it in the later period, it could not completely deny his ability. After all, he fought with Jiangdong many times back then, and even Sun Jian died on the battlefield, and his combat effectiveness can be seen.
It's just that today, Jiangdong's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and Jiangxia can only take a defensive position.
And the soldiers and horses to be handed over to Wenpin are the two water armies of Xiangyang and the Yangtze River. Combined, there are nearly 30,000 of these sailors, which are the backbone of the entire Jingzhou.
Because of a certain system, Liu Qi needed to face two strong enemies, Jiangdong and Cao Cao. Jiang Xia's navy naturally couldn't move lightly, and they had to be prepared to face Sun Quan.
In order to enhance the combat strength of the Xiangyang region, the entire Xiangyang Navy and the Yangtze River Navy are the most direct ways.
This is also the task of clerical recruitment.
What the specific effect will be, Liu Qi can't predict now.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
Liu Qi had already led people to the middle section of the river between Xiangyang and Fancheng, where the Xiangyang Navy was stationed.
accompanied by Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, as well as Zhuge Liang and Xue Li, all of whom are regarded as their own people.
As for Gan Ning, he has not yet arrived in Xiangyang.
The crowd rode their horses.
Wen Ping, Huang Zhong and the others all looked at Xue Li with some curiosity. Although Xue Li is very young, in his early twenties, his power is not to be underestimated.
Even if Huang Zhong relied on his own force, he couldn't help but be curious.
He had a faint feeling that Xue Li's combat power would never be weaker than him, and this person was Liu Qi's cronies and guards.
Although it is not the commander of the army, it should not be taken lightly.
Came to the water army camp.
Liu Qi looked at it and had to say that the effect of Liu Biao's previous construction was still good. This water village is arranged in an orderly manner, and it can be seen that it has taken a lot of thought.
Although Cai Mao has bad intentions, it is undeniable that he has his own uniqueness in training the water army.
Liu Qi turned to look at Wen Ping and asked:
"Wen Zhongye, this son asked you to rectify the Xiangyang Water Army, what do you say about the current situation?"
Looking around ahead, Wen Ping pondered:
"Qi Qi Shizi, although the Xiangyang Navy is fully equipped, it is wasted in training, if you want to improve your combat power as soon as possible, there is a way for the general, but I am afraid it is inconvenient to implement."
Hearing this, Liu Qi was a little surprised and asked:
"What do you think, let's hear it first!"
Since Liu Qi asked, Wen Ping was not ambiguous, and said:
"The reason why the Xiangyang Navy belongs to training is mainly because there is no strong enemy, so it is too tired. And the Jiangxia Navy often fights with Jiangdong, and there are not a few elites among them.
If we can draw some soldiers and horses from each other, and then use the old to lead the new, and train them, the strength of the naval army will definitely grow rapidly. ”
After listening to Wen Ping's description, Liu Qi nodded slightly.
Now the strength of the Xiangyang Navy is relatively weak, not that everyone here is old, weak, sick and disabled, the key is negligence in training.
After all, Jingbei was defended by soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei was also stationed here.
In fact, the overall pressure is not too great.
But this is all the situation that Cao Cao did not go south in a big way.
If Cao Cao directly mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, it would not be difficult to push Jingbei horizontally.
In terms of the army alone, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses must be the first today.
Transferring some manpower from Jiangxia and then redistributing it with the Xiangyang Navy can increase the combat power to a certain extent.
As soon as his thoughts turned, Liu Qi already had the answer in his heart.
Now Huang Zu stayed in Jiangxia, although he did not directly resist Liu Biao, but he often violated the order.
Liu Qi wants to deal with Jiangdong, and Huang Zu will definitely do it.
He immediately said aloud:
"Okay, Zhongye, you first integrate the Xiangyang Navy with the Yangtze River Navy and transfer manpower, my son will find a way to solve it, this is the top priority of Xiangyang's defense!"
Hearing Liu Qi's words, how dare Wen Ping slack:
"Although the prince is assured, Wenpin will definitely do his best to live up to the expectations of the prince, and he will not give Cao Thief a chance to cross the river."
Looking at Wen Ping, Liu Qi smiled and said:
"Ben Gongzi is waiting for your good news!"
Everyone entered the water village, and the generals of the navy got the news and hurried out to greet them.
They saw that Liu Qi was a little flustered.
After all, their former boss has been solved by Liu Qi, how dare they continue to despise this prince?
After watching the naval drills again, Liu Qi announced in public that Wenpin would take over the naval army, and explained a few words, that is, he took people away.
The clerk stayed here.
