Hua Xiong's low voice could only be heard by Huang Yueying.

Her pretty face turned red and gave Hua Xiong a white look, but her eyes were full of charm.

Hua Xiong smiled lowly, then his face turned whole, and he raised his head to look at everyone.

"As the musket is further modified, its power and performance will also increase.

These tasks will be handled by the Ordnance Division, understand? ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Ding Shuai agreed.

There is also a higher-level flintlock pistol in the system store, but it cannot be exchanged due to Huaxiong's current prestige value.

And even if it is exchanged, with the current level of technology, I am afraid that it will not be able to make it.

Therefore, Hua Xiong planned to make do with the arquebus first.

He groaned for a moment, and commanded,

"For the time being, the Ordnance Department will make a thousand arquebuses first, and then hand it over to you Gao Shun to be in charge.

You must train rigorously and train yourself to become a musket unit as soon as possible. ”

"The last general will definitely live up to his mission!"

Gao Shun said in a deep voice.

……

In the days that followed, the Ordnance Division worked overtime to produce a thousand muskets and deliver them to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun then selected a thousand elites from the Qilin Military Region.

After half a year of painstaking training, the first musket unit in history successfully appeared!

After a series of comparative tests, everyone also found that although the musket has all kinds of drawbacks,

But in comparison, it is the musket that is superior!

At the same time, good news also came from the shipyards in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and more than a dozen warships have been launched into the sea one after another.

So on this day, Hua Xiong sent all the strategists and generals back to Beijing in a hurry to discuss the next military step.

"Now that the north has been decided and the treasury is full, it is time to consider the next step in the use of troops.

If you have any opinions, please feel free to express them. ”

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

Xu Shu stepped forward first and chuckled,

"Before today's meeting, I had a discussion with the princes, and we agreed that we should start with Nanyang."

"Oh, why is that?"

Hua Xiong smiled slightly.

"It's very simple, because there are many water systems in Jiangdong, if there is no strong water army, I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer."

Jia Xu said softly.

"If you can capture Jingzhou and include the sailor troops under Liu Biao, you will have the confidence to argue with Sun Quan."

"And Jingzhou is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and if you take the Yangtze River, you can attack Soochow by waterway!"

The two brothers Xin Bi and Xin Ping also nodded in agreement.

Their suggestion coincides with Cao Cao's actions in history.

But after Hua Xiong heard this, he smiled.

"Everyone thought that I would attack Jingzhou Liu Biao first.

But I just wanted to surprise and start with Sun Quan first. ”

Jia Xu was stunned, and hurriedly persuaded,

"Lord, you have to think twice."

Now the imperial court is thriving, and everything is developing in a good direction.

If the enemy advances lightly and loses a big game, it will add a lot of variables.

"Actually, you don't know, in the past six months, the imperial court has secretly built more than a dozen warships."

Hua Xiong smiled,

"In addition, I also transferred people from major military regions to form a naval division unit trained by General Gan Ning."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Gan Ning, who nodded with a smile on his face.

"Ganning."

"The end will be."

"From now on, you will be appointed as the commander of the navy and command the imperial navy!"

"The last general obeys!"

Gan Ning replied in a deep voice, with a faint excitement in his eyes.

"This time to attack Sun Quan, you will be the main force, don't you drop the chain for me."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the lord will definitely break Sun Quan!"

Since Huaxiong has a plan, everyone no longer opposes it.

The meeting was dismissed after discussing the specific plan.

……

After pacifying the north, the imperial court was finally able to free up manpower and transfer them to the south.

Such a large-scale mobilization of troops naturally attracted the attention of Liu Biao, Sun Quan and others.

On this day, when Hua Xiong was studying the battle plan with Guo Jia, Gan Ning and others, Secretary Yang Xiu knocked on the door and walked in.

"My lord."

He said respectfully.

"What's the matter?"

"Jiangdong sent Gu Yong, saying that he had something important to visit the lord."

Hua Xiong frowned slightly,

"Let him in."

Yang Xiu turned around and left.

While Gu Yong hadn't come in yet, Guo Jia on the side said,

"Lord, Sun Quan sent Gu Yong, I'm afraid he didn't have any good intentions."

"Don't worry, let's see what he's here for."

Hua Xiong smiled lightly and asked Gan Ning to put away all the maps on the table.

After a while, Yang Xiu brought Gu Yong in.

"Gu Yong greets King Wei!"

Gu Yong, who was dressed as a literati, saluted Huaxiong.

Hua Xiong was indifferent, and said lightly,

"Sun Quan, that little child, what did you send here for?"

A flash of anger flashed between Gu Yong's eyebrows, and he snorted coldly,

"I am now on the order of my family's Taishou, and I have come to ask the King of Wei, why did you send troops to the Huainan area with great fanfare?"

Hua Xiong didn't raise his eyelids, picked up the wine on the side, took a sip, and said with a smile,

"Of course, I'm preparing to attack your lord!"

Gu Yong was stunned.

He didn't expect Hua Xiong to be so straightforward.

"We only signed a peace treaty last year, is King Wei so discredited?"

Gu Yong glared at Hua Xiong and asked.

"A peace treaty? Credibility? ”

Hua Xiong looked up to the sky and laughed, and said disdainfully,

"Only you believe this kind of deception to children, right?"

"You! Shameless! ”

Gu Yong was so angry that he scolded.

"Yo yo yo, this is broken? Don't worry, just listen to what I'm talking about. ”

Hua Xiong put down his wine glass and said with a smile,

"If your family master, Gongsun Quan, has accumulated enough strength, will he break the peace treaty and brazenly attack our department?"

Gu Yong was speechless for a while.

He knew in his heart that if Sun Quan really had the strength to defeat Hua Xiong, he would definitely do it immediately, and he didn't care about the so-called peace treaty at all.

"So, big fists are the last word.

If Sun Quan Xiao'er is not convinced, let him do it, and he has the ability to beat me down, and this big Han Jiangshan is his.

If you don't have the ability, surrender early, and I will protect him for glory and wealth. ”

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

Seeing that his attitude was so arrogant, Gu Yong's face was pale,

"King Wei is so shameless, he is afraid that he will be spurned by the world!"

He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Stop! Did I let you go? ”

Hua Xiong sneered.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhou Cang on the side showed their weapons and blocked Gu Yong's way.

Gu Yong's heart was shocked, and he pretended to look at Hua Xiong calmly,

"The two armies are fighting, if you don't kill them, is it possible that the King of Wei plans to kill me?"

Hua Xiong touched his chin and smiled coldly,

"If you scold me, I want to leave, how can there be such a good thing?

Since you say I'm shameless, I'll show you shamelessness.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu! ”

"The last general!"

"Pulled out his tongue for me!"

"Yes!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu responded suddenly, took a few steps forward, and pressed Gu Yong there!
