Commander-in-chief, this is a big problem.

Jingzhou is a place where land and water are connected, and there are four battles, but since the time of Liu Biao's reign, there has been an extreme shortage of naval generals, and there are only a few naval commanders.

Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Wen Ping, plus a self-taught Guan Yu, there are just four of them.

Compared with the situation on the other side of the river, where the commanders of the navy are gathered together, Jingzhou's side can really be regarded as a scarce commander.

And now, of the four former commanders of the navy in Jingzhou, there is only one Wenpin left, and the Wenpin is also old.

In the future, if there is an eventuality, then who will command the naval army on the Jingzhou side is really a big problem.

Anyway, Zhang Xi really doesn't understand the tactics of the navy.

By the way, don't look at the later games Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both have the passivity of being proficient in the navy, but according to Zhang Xi's understanding, these two actually don't understand the tactics of the navy.

It's not that they don't understand the navy, they still understand some superficial knowledge, but if they lead the navy and compete with the enemy on the river, they may not even be as good as Wang Ji's level.

Renwang Ji has been guarding Jingzhou for so many years, although it is not to the point where he can command the naval army to fight, but he still understands the knowledge of the basic naval tactics.

All in all, Zhang Xi really has to find a way to find a suitable commander of the naval army in Jingzhou.

If it is only to recover the four counties of Jingnan, it can barely be done by relying on Zhang Xi's thorny turtle shell tactics, but once he completely turns his face with Dongwu, or if he wants to attack Dongwu and recover Jiangdong, it will definitely not work without a strong enough naval army and a sufficiently outstanding naval commander.

Although these things are in the future, we must think about the front when thinking about strategy.

And this suitable commander of the navy, Zhang Xi's mind has a name that jumped out for the first time - Wang Jun.

Yes, it was Wang Jun who led the water army down the river from Yizhou, and opened the passage to destroy Wu in the first battle of Stone Town.

But the problem is that this Wang Jun, Zhang Xi vaguely remembers, seems to be from Hongnong, and he is not from a poor family, but from a wealthy family with a generation of 2,000 stones. Even if the Han regains the division in the future, whether this kind of person is willing to become a big man or not is something that cannot be forced.

Not to mention that now Si Li is still under the control of Cao Wei, Sima Yi, an old fox, is not easy to mess with.

Therefore, Wang Jun can only be used as an alternative in the future, and now, he has to find someone else.

It's not easy to find people here in Jingzhou, so Zhang Xi naturally set his sights on the Dongwu side, wanting to poach people from the Dongwu side.

Of course, those famous generals, such as Lu Xun, Zhu Ran, and Zhang Xi, can't dig it, and even a rising star like Lu Kai, Zhang Xi can't dig it.

These people all have their own family backgrounds, and the foundation of their interests is in Jiangdong, so it is impossible for them to give up the foundation of Dongwu and come to work for the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Xi can only find some talents who are talented and have no background, or even if they have a background, they are also abandoned by Soochow.

And such a person, Zhang Xi almost immediately thought of two people - Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi.

These two are the ones who have led the fleet to the treasure island. can sail, this water combat ability shouldn't be bad, right?!

Not to mention anything else, at least the ability to command a naval fleet to fight on inland rivers should be there.

As soon as Zhang Xi thought of these two people, he immediately sent someone to Dongwu to inquire about intelligence, if Zhang Xi remembered correctly, not long after returning to Dongwu, these two people asked Sun Quan to kill them on the grounds of "disobeying the edict".

Being able to be killed for this reason shows that these two people are not necessarily loyal to Sun Quan, and they are characters who can be manipulated and surrendered. It must be before Sun Quan kills people.

This matter, back and forth, about a month, according to the information sent back by the fine work, the two returned to Jiangdong in the summer of the sixth year of Jianxing, and then came back less than two months later, let Sun Quan go to prison, and less than three months after being imprisoned, that is, a month before Zhang Xi sent the fine work to Jiangdong, Sun Quan had already killed these two people.

This grandson is 100,000, and he is a little faster.

Come on, Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi didn't catch it, Zhang Xi is numb now.

I have to continue to look for it, but the problem is that it is really difficult to find such talents.

Sun Shiwan's military ability is not very reliable, but his vision has always been very good. Someone in history has commented on this Emperor Wu, saying that he "has the right people but can't make the best use of his talents".

It means that Sun Shiwan is a careful eye, he can find people's talents, but he doesn't have the temperament to let this person give full play to his talents.

Don't care if Sun Shiwan is cautious or not, but he really has nothing to say about his eyes on people, and there are really not many talents who can be missed under his nose.

Zhang Xi could only continue to let Dongwu Xizuo hurry up to collect information, and then manually screen them one by one, looking for those talents who had the talent of the navy but were not reused by Sun Quan.

Don't say it, you really let Zhang Xi find two people.

One, called Yang Shu, was born in Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

Hawkers, this background made Zhang Xi see the hope of recruiting this one. Old watch, my hometown needs you to come back to build it.

But taking a closer look at this resume, Zhang Xi felt that he felt that there was no hope of surrender.

Yang Wei is now a guest of Sun Deng, the prince of Eastern Wu, and is very respected by Sun Deng.

Sun Deng, whether it is making guests, dealing with people, or dealing with people, is much better than his old man, but it is a pity that he is not as good as his father.

But the problem is that no one knows this now, so Yang Wei is a guest of Sun Deng, the prince of Wu, and after Sun Deng ascends the throne in the future, Yang Wei will naturally become an old minister of the Qiandi, and how can he easily change the court if he is reused.

Looking down closely, Zhang Xi found another small thing that was recorded in detail.

It is said that Sun Deng asked Hu Zong to write a guest record of the prince, and Hu Zong blew a cowhide to everyone when he was idle, especially Zhuge Ke, Gu Tan, Xie Jing, and Fan Shen, Hu Zong wrote a lot of good words.

Originally, these four people had the closest relationship with Sun Deng at that time, and Hu Zong just patted the prince's ass, and he really didn't care too much, but he refuted them one by one.

Zhuge is talented and sparse, Gu Tan is refined and ruthless, Xie Jing is discerning and floating, and Fan is deep and narrow.

This is what Yang Wei said about these four people. You said that people didn't recruit you and didn't mess with you, is it really appropriate for you to evaluate people like this?!

Zhuge Ke and others felt that it was very inappropriate.

And with the relationship between Zhuge Ke and others and Sun Deng, Yang's status in the prince's mansion can be imagined.

Seeing this, Zhang Xi did see the hope of recruiting the sheep, but the problem is that Zhang Xi is looking for a commander of the navy to poach people, not a critic who is good at judging characters.

Anyway, so far, Zhang Xi didn't see that this sheep had the ability to command the navy.

And the only evidence that can prove that Yang Wei has the ability to command the navy is to say that after Yang Wei was squeezed out by the guests of the prince's mansion, he often ran to the river with his friends to relax, and when he was interested, he commented on the characters and bragged about them, and evaluated the commanders of the naval army of Dongwu one by one, and said that if he let himself lead the Jiangdong naval army, how to brag after drinking, can you believe it? !

This person. Zhang Xi thinks that for the sake of insurance, it is better to put it aside first.

Let's look at the second character. This second character is easy to dig, and most importantly, in Zhang Xi's memory, this one seems to be really good at water warfare.

Zhong Limu.

This surname is special, Zhang Xi before he crossed over, when he played the game, he almost immediately remembered this famous general in the late period of Eastern Wu who was quite good in terms of domination and water warfare ability.

And Zhong Limu's background is not noble, he is just a son of a poor family, but his family is also an old minister of Eastern Wu, and his father Zhong Lixu is the captain of the building ship of Eastern Wu.

This official position is only the official position of a middle- and low-level military attaché, but for a person like Zhong Lixu, it is not easy to get to this position.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether Zhong Limu's sense of belonging to Soochow is strong or not.

Of course, what makes Zhang Xi hesitate the most is that . Zhong Limu is only twenty years old now.

A man who is only twenty years old, without any experience in politics and the military, the only evidence that can prove that Zhong Limu may have the talent of a commander in water warfare, one is the setting of Zhang Xi's previous life to play games, and the other is that his father is a naval officer who is the captain of Lou Chuan.

But it's not reliable. According to the game setting, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both good at commanding the navy, but in fact, these two will not be good at all.

So, in fact, Zhang Xi is quite entangled.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Xi finally decided to dig people up.

Regardless of whether these two people will command the navy, let's just say that the talents of these two people are not bad.

Not to mention anything else, the vision of looking at people is unique, and the four people he evaluated are simply a portrayal of their bodies.

Let him be responsible for recruiting talents, and there will definitely not be a situation that is not worthy of the name.

And Zhong Limu, who is also a famous general in the late period of Eastern Wu, has now been poached, which can be regarded as weakening the future strength of Eastern Wu.

Regardless of whether they can be allowed to lead the naval army in the future, they are talents, so let's dig them up first.

Anyway, Jingzhou is indeed short of talents.
