Chapter 455: Planning
In the past, Yan was the main opponent, the battlefield was basically in Hebei, there was no large-scale horse farm, and it was right to give priority to the development of foot soldiers.
Now that most of the Murong clan has been driven back to Liaodong, the foot soldiers are a little beyond the reach of the whip.
The cavalry should be expanded, and the development of the naval army should also be put on the agenda.
In the future, it is also indispensable to deal with the Jiangdong naval army, the Central Plains and Hebei have long been linked through the canal water network, and the naval army has a great future, and in the future to attack Liaodong, even if the naval army is not the main force, it can also transport grain and grass and baggage.
Cui Jin supervised the construction of warships in Cangzhou and developed a naval army, which began to take shape, but if he wanted to cross the sea to attack Liaodong, it was difficult for some strongmen.
"The minister has gathered more than 4,000 shipwrights, mainly boats, boats, ships, fighting ships, flat boats, and barges, divided into large wings, middle wings, and small wings, the big wings are one zhang six feet wide and twelve zhang long, fifty sailors, three helmsmen, twenty-one soldiers, one officer, one servant, and one shooter, and the other 12 soldiers, a total of ninety-one people, equipped with long hooks, spears, long axes, crossbows, and arrows, followed by the middle wing, and the small wings again, Hebei Xinding, the people have just and eaten and clothed, and they are unable to build large ships only ......."
Cui Jin's recital is very detailed, a building boat for crossing the sea, dozens of zhang large, as high as a city wall, can accommodate thousands of soldiers, and Sun Quan's building ship "Feiyun" can carry 3,000 soldiers.
In the seventh year of Emperor Wen of Wei (226 AD), Sun Quan ordered Zhu Ying and Kang Tai to lead a fleet to Funan, Linyi and the countries of Southwest Oceania (Nanyang Islands).
It can be seen that more than 100 years ago, Jiangdong's navigation technology has reached a very high level.
It's a pity that Jiangdong is now occupied by the Sima family.
To put it bluntly, there is still no money to make trouble.
Li Yue immediately set up a shipbuilding department, which was located in Cangzhou, presided over by Cui Jin, and ordered it to recruit shipbuilders and try his best to develop the navy, and Li Yue tried his best to fight for money and food.
He also asked Yang to send more detailed works to Jiangdong to fish, and it was best to get some drawings and craftsmen of warships.
Within half a month, Cui Jin strongly recommended a group of talents.
Most of them were the generals of the naval army of Zhao and Ran Wei at the beginning.
Although Shi Hu is brutal, he still has the eyesight he should have, and he also wants to attack Liaodong by land and water.
In the fourth year of Jianwu (338), Cao Fu, the general of Duliao, was sent to lead the soldiers of Qingzhou to defend the island and supply 3 million stone food.
He also transported 300,000 stone grains to Goguryeo with 300 ships, and led more than 10,000 troops led by Wang Dian, a general of Diannong, to reclaim barren tuntian fields in eastern Liaodong.
Ordered Qingzhou to build 1,000 warships in preparation for the attack on the former Yan Kingdom.
It's just that Shi Hu has a short temper and can't wait so long, so he hurriedly led an army of 450,000 to launch the Battle of Thorn City.
Cao Fu, Wang Dian and other Zhao generals surrendered to Yan instead of Goguryeo, but Ma Gu, the general of Ran Wei's navy, returned to Daliang and brought back more than 100 warships, more than 3,000 sailors, plus three islands.
Li Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and Wei Liang was in the same vein, and there were many benefits.
Immediately named Ma Gu as the general of the building boat, and gave him the fifteenth rank of the knight.
With Ma Gu Toucheng, the framework of the water army will also be there, and the rest depends on how many resources are invested.
Li Yue only believes that the miracle is vigorously produced, and the sincerity is open, as long as you want to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done.
"This is a three-year plan that Lone has been preparing for." Li Yue handed a document to Wang Meng.
Chang Wei was in the midst of a retreat, Shangshutai was temporarily managed by Wang Meng, and Li Yue added a Ping Shang Shushi to him, which was equivalent to the rotating prime minister.
In several big battles, Wang Meng's martial arts made everyone shut up.
A lieutenant of the division is obviously a little condescending.
However, the merits of Chang Wei and Zhou Lian should not be underestimated, without Chang Wei sitting in Yecheng, the grain and grass of nearly 200,000 troops would never have been transported to the front line so smoothly.
Without Zhou Lian working in the fields, the Liang State would not have been so stable.
All three of them are Wang Zuozhicai.
"Expand the cavalry, increase the naval army, expand the school affairs, build a straight road from Yecheng to Hedong, and reclaim the Hebei ......," Wang Meng read the outline softly.
Li Yue said: "Daijun is connected to Monan, and there is an excellent horse farm, and within three years, the scale of cavalry will reach 40,000, which should not be difficult." The navy has a framework, build more barges for the purpose of transporting grain and grass, and it is not difficult to expand the school. ”
Wang Meng raised his eyebrows, "In three years, with the national strength of the Central Plains, how can this be done?" His Royal Highness is too cautious, now that he occupies Daijun, the next step is to take Taiyuan and Yunzhong, Hugh said that 40,000 cavalry, even 80,000 cavalry can also be done! ”
Li Yue smiled bitterly, mainly because he was afraid of the pressure from the people, so he was more conservative.
But in a big war this year, more than 100,000 Yan troops were captured, half of the state and half of Youzhou were taken, and the strength increased greatly.
Listening to Wang Meng's meaning, he was going to do something to Murong Chui and Tuoba Shiyijian.
Murong Chui occupied the three counties of Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Xihe.
Tuoba Shiyijian occupies Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Monan, and the three best pastures in China are in this area.
"Taiyuan is the spine of the northern country, and it can't be hung in the hands of Murong Chui for a long time, but Tuoba Shiyijian and Daliang are allies, and now there is no reason to attack it......"
If the name is not right, it is not good, no matter what you do, you must find a reason.
Wang Meng said: "This matter is not difficult, His Royal Highness can ask Tuoba Shi Yijian and Fu Jian to attack Taiyuan together and divide it equally. ”
"What if he sends troops to attack Murong Trai?" Li Yue knows this father-in-law too well, he doesn't have great wisdom, but he is a lot smarter.
"Murong is falling, and the Tuoba Department can only become a vassal of our army, and you can do whatever you want!" Wang Meng's strategy is not leaky.
"Fu Jian knows that our army is attacking Taiyuan, what if he gets in the way?"
Before the battle, the temple is counted first, and the temple is counted as the one who counts more.
Wang Meng's eyes flashed, "Fu Jian is attacking Liangzhou, if he is in the way, he can divide his army and go straight to Puban and Tongguan, contain Qin's energy, and then persuade Murong Chui to surrender, go out of Fenyin, take Feng Yi, and threaten Guanzhong!" ”
"Wonderful!" Li Yue high-fived and sighed.
Liang Guo has a lot of hole cards, which can not only unite Tuoba Shi Yijian and Fu Jian to attack Murong Trai, but also unite Murong Trai to counterattack Tuoba and Fu Jian.
Ever-changing, with one mind.
And Murong Trai had no choice at all.
Even if he unites with Tuoba Shi Yijian, he is not the opponent of Liang State, and the Shangdang Heights are pinched in his hands, so he can be condescending and attack Taiyuan with Daijun.
In other words, Taiyuan has long been a Chinese meal.
If Fu Jian sent troops to aid Murong Chui, it would be more beneficial to the Liang State, and the Qin army would fight on the east and west, and Li Yue could completely besiege Taiyuan to help.
Moreover, even if the Qin army wants to support Taiyuan, it must first take Hedong, otherwise it will be a pattern of suffering from the enemy on the back.
After defeating the Yan State, the Liang State already had the absolute initiative.
Tuoba Shi Yijian didn't want to be a dog for Liang Guo, so he changed it.
Murong Chui retreated to Taiyuan to preserve his strength, his selfishness was clearly revealed, Yan Guo had his part in the defeat, and the current Yan State could not tolerate him, unless the King of Yan was Murong Ke, but unfortunately, Murong Jun entrusted four people to disperse Murong Ke's power.
Yan Guo is not Murong Ke alone now.
