Chapter 389: Battleship Drawings
Xu Shu smiled disdainfully,
"What about four or five hundred thousand troops?
"They are divided into three ways, and they can be defeated individually."
He continued to point to the sand table and said,
"Liu Biao and Sun Quan on the left and right are powerful and can be slowly figured out.
The lord should be Cao Cao and Liu in the middle line...... Uncle Huang is the main target of the attack, and he fights with all his might. ”
"As long as the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang can be captured, they can not only prevent them from supporting each other, but also cooperate with the other two roads to flank the attack."
Xu Shu's analysis made everyone nod their heads.
Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Li Ru glanced at each other, all bowing slightly.
This Xu Shu still has a few brushes.
No wonder the Lord Guild made a great effort to recruit him.
"My lord, I agree with Yuan Zhi's proposal."
"Me too."
Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others nodded.
But Hua Xiong chuckled and shook his head.
Xu Shu was stunned, "Lord, could it be that there is something wrong with my plan?" ”
"No, no."
"Then why did the lord shake his head?"
"It's just that I think there's a better way."
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
"I hope the Lord will announce it."
Xu Shu said suspiciously.
Hua Xiong pointed to the sand table and said,
"They don't know how to live or die, so let's just play a big game this time and attack directly from the third line!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
They never expected that Hua Xiong would be so generous.
"My lord, if you fight on three fronts at the same time, can the imperial court afford it?"
Xu Shu asked worriedly.
If the three fronts are fighting at the same time, the pressure on logistics support will be as great as a mountain.
"Xun Yu, how is the treasury now?"
Hua Xiong asked.
"Back to my lord, now the treasury is full, enough for a million troops to consume for half a year!"
Xun Yulang said.
When Xu Shu heard this, he was even more dumbfounded.
He only knew that the Great Han was strong before, but he didn't expect it to be so strong that it could support the consumption of a million army for half a year!
Such a national strength is something he can't even imagine under Liu Bei's account.
No wonder Hua Xiong dared to make bold statements, and at the same time fought on three fronts!
Xu Shu recovered from the shock and breathed a long sigh of relief,
"What does the lord think, how should I fight?"
Hua Xiong's face was solemn, "Zhang Xiu, Yu Ban, Hu Che'er, Gan Ning, Wei Yan!" ”
"The last general!"
The five stood up and said in unison.
"The five of you launched a fierce attack from Wancheng County on the left line and attacked Liu Biao!"
"Yes!"
"Pang De, Jiang Wei, Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Zhao Yun listen to orders!"
"The last general!"
"The five of you follow me and attack Shouchun from the middle line!"
"Yes!"
"Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Liao Hua!"
"The last general!"
"The three of you are defending against Sun Quan in Xuzhou, and if you succeed, you will fight Cao Cao with me."
"Yes!"
Hua Xiong's order was conveyed, and his eyes became full of war.
"In today's battle, I will definitely play the demeanor of my big man.
Let Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others know that you are waiting.
Gentlemen, Wuyun is prosperous! ”
"Whoa!"
Everyone answered in unison.
……
The huge institutions of the imperial court are running non-stop.
The army began to move towards the front, and the grain and grass were transported to the south like water.
But Hua Xiong did not leave immediately.
On the second day after the wedding, he took Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang to the ordnance department's manor outside the city.
This manor, located next to Luoshui, is surrounded by all kinds of guards.
Huaxiong went all the way unimpeded, came to the deepest part of the manor, and met the craftsman Ding Shuai.
"Lord, why are you here?"
Ding Shuai hurriedly dropped the work at hand, trotted all the way over, and saluted Hua Xiong.
"I'm here to see how your project is progressing." Hua Xiong smiled, "How did you study the drawings you gave you last time?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Ding Shuai suddenly made a bitter face,
"My lord, the research has just begun."
Hua Xiong was a little surprised, he glared at Ding Shuai,
"It's been more than half a year, and you're just starting to research."
"Lord, you can't really blame me for this." Ding Shuai shouted, "We have a lot of land in the north, how can there be so many reliable shipbuilders?" ”
After Hua Xiong pacified Youzhou, he used more than 200,000 meritorious points to exchange a total of three things.
They are skill poison recognition, gossip array, and the most valuable warship blueprints.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Soochow was the most powerful in terms of its shipbuilding capacity and navy because of its many waters.
Sun Quan built a five-story warship that could carry 3,000 people!
The building ship not only has a majestic appearance, but also a spear on the ship, a tree flag, a strict guard, and a strong attack and defense, just like a water fortress.
Last time, Huaxiong made a big fuss in Jiangdong, although it can be said that he returned with a big victory, but he also saw the strength of the Eastern Wu Naval Army.
So with enough contribution points, he didn't hesitate to exchange for the ship blueprint in the shop!
Hua Xiong's face softened a lot.
He knew that Ding Shuai was telling the truth, the north was all plain land, whether it was the navy or the shipbuilding industry, it was indeed inferior to Soochow.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a fiasco.
Moreover, the warship on the drawing is the great fortune ship of the Ming Dynasty in the later generations.
The strength of the naval army in the early Ming Dynasty can be said to dominate the world!
The Dafu ship is the most pinnacle masterpiece of ancient Chinese warships.
But this was a problem for the shipbuilders in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
How can we build a Daifuku ship according to the drawings, but also ensure the excellent performance of the Daifuku ship.
"Okay, I'll give you another half a year, and you must build a model."
Hua Xiong admonished.
Without a strong naval army, no matter how strong the Han army is, if you want to take Jiangdong, you will have to pay a heavy price.
This is what Huaxiong does not want to see.
Ding Shuai knew that the stakes were high, so he could only bite the bullet and say,
"Lord, I'll do my best."
"I'm sorry for you."
Hua Xiong patted Ding Shuai on the shoulder and encouraged him a few volumes.
After visiting the Ordnance Division, Hua Xiong turned back to the mansion, and after saying goodbye to the beauties in the mansion, he embarked on the journey again!
Today, there are 520,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial court.
The Xuanwu Military Region in the north and the Qinglong Military Region in the west have a total of 250,000 horses.
These troops need to be on guard against Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Yizhou, and cannot be mobilized.
Hua Xiong transferred half of the troops from the Qilin Military Region and left 40,000 horses for Gao Shun to guard Luoyang.
90,000 people in the Suzaku Military Region, 100,000 people in the White Tiger Military Region, plus 40,000 people in Huaxiong.
A total of 190,000 troops, spread out flat, to deal with the coalition of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others!
……
Shouchun City.
Pound was inspecting the city walls when he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him.
He turned his head to look, but it was Hua Xiong who took Zhao Yun and the others to the top of the city.
"When did you arrive, my lord?"
Pound saluted.
"Just arrived." Hua Xiong waved his hand, "Tell me about the current situation." ”
Cao Cao and others were menacing, and Pang De, who was in charge of military affairs in Huainan and other places, did not dare to delay.
The day after Hua Xiong's wedding, he returned to Shouchun to preside over the defense work.
