"Damn, what's this called, we are a navy, and we actually walked to Baqiu, more than 200 miles!"

"Even if you walk, you have to take shifts to transport grain and grass, which is called unreasonable."

"Since the establishment of the Jingzhou Naval Division, when has there ever been such a thing, if there is no ship, there will be no war!"

Invectives like this are coming and going, and letting the sailor walk to fight sounds like nonsense.

That's it, or the complaints made by the soldiers when they don't know the actual situation of the ordnance, if they are informed of the inventory of ordnance, let alone the mutiny, the deserters will definitely explode in a geometric multiplication.

Liu Bei was numb all the way, and he had no choice but to comfort him, after all, he knew very well in his heart that these people were breaking away from Jiangxia because of Liu Qi, and they had no feelings for themselves.

The arrogant and undisgraced second master did a good job at this, but he was silent; But Zhang Fei is different, the main one is a dictatorship who refuses to accept it, the whip is clucking, and he can't wait to open the skin of Rory's chatty people one by one, thanks to Liu Bei's constant staring.

Now is an extraordinary period, and the relationship between the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and the Jingzhou Army is actually very sensitive.

Huang Zu broke away from Liu Qi and Wei Yan fled to Changsha, these things are inseparable from them, plus the defeat of An Feng, if Zhang Fei does a little out of line, anything may happen.

What's more, what people are talking about is also the thing, letting the navy walk to fight is not different from letting the cavalry run to the battlefield, there is no difference in essence, and it is not bad if others don't run.

There was a lot of gossip along the way, but fortunately, he finally arrived at Baqiu safely, and ran away with some people, not many, just a few hundred, mostly because they were scared away after hearing about the number of more than 400,000 in Lu Lin's army on the way there.

When he returned to Baqiu, Zhuge Liang was not in the city, but at the other end of the ferry, and the speed of the sailor was of course faster than that of two legs.

Liu Bei handed over the soldiers and horses to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong to settle down, and he took Huo Jun to the other end of the ferry.

When they came to the ferry, Liu Bei and Huo Jun were stunned, and dozens of water gates were built along the river, connecting the protruding mountains at both ends of the ferry, so that an arch guard was formed.

The warships of the Changsha Navy Division sailors who were going upriver had all docked at the wharf, and wooden aisles had been built on top of all the water gates, so that it was convenient for crossbowmen to stand and fire arrows, just like the horse path of Chengguan.

In fact, it is not surprising that a strategic frontier like Baqiu Ferry has such a water gate, it has been there from the beginning, but the scale is far from that large.

This is also why when the battle of Chibi burned the serial ship, Huang Gai used a bitter meat trick, because you don't have to trick Cao Cao to win Cao Cao's trust and let the warship enter the water gate, and there is no chance to directly impact the opposite serial ship.

"Lord!" In the distance, Zhuge Liang came quickly and stepped forward to give up.

"Kong Ming, this water gate."

Facing Liu Bei's curiosity, Zhuge Liang chuckled and explained: "Cao Cao has already led 80,000 sailors to arrive, and Sun Ce's Jiaozhou army will also arrive in these three or five days. ”

This is like a camp during the land war, how many people have to build a large village, this is all considered, but Liu Bei's doubts are obviously not this problem.

Without waiting for him to ask any further questions, Zhuge Liang continued: "Don't worry, my lord, this is the money allocated by Cao Cao. ”

"I see." Liu Bei bowed his head slowly, this is the benefit of forming an alliance.

Of course, this is also reasonable, he has the most soldiers and horses, who will pay if he doesn't pay.

"By the way, Kong Ming, you should have received the letter sent a few days ago, are you prepared for the ordnance?" Only then did Liu Bei remember the most important question.

"My lord, Baqiu is just a hundred miles of Xiaoguo, it is not easy for us to feed the army at hand, and there is no extra money to build ordnance."

This is the truth, of course Liu Bei is very clear, but if the problem of arrows is not solved, there will be no way to distribute enough arrows to the soldiers when the time comes, and people will not dare to go to the battlefield at all, how can this battle be fought.

Looking at Liu Bei's dim eyes, Zhuge Liang smiled calmly, "Don't worry, we don't have it, but you can borrow it from a big family." ”

"Big family?"

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, then looked at the water gate in the distance, which was as magnificent as the city wall, and immediately smiled, "Wouldn't you mean Cao Cao?" ”

This idea was a bit whimsical, but after thinking about it, Liu Bei felt that it was not completely impossible.

After all, the stability of the coalition forces is related to the survival of the three parties, and if there is a large-scale desertion of his subordinates due to insufficient armaments, it will not only be a huge blow to the morale of the coalition army, but also easy for Lu Lin to seize the opportunity to fight back.

"I'm afraid it's impossible."

Even Huo Jun on the side couldn't help but shake his head, "The three parties gathered together, called the alliance, are actually just to resist Lu Lin, if we are too weak, Cao Cao will only look down on us even more, and the alliance will respect him." ”

"What Zhong Miao said is very much, in such an alliance, not only can we not show our shortcomings, but we also need to give Cao Cao a certain amount of deterrence at a critical time, so that he will not have the idea of annexing Jingnan after the big victory." Zhuge Liang cast an appreciative glance at Huo Jun.

"Except for Cao Cao, how can there be any big households?" Liu Beimo rubbed his chin, it can't be Sun Ce, that guy is poorer than himself.

"Yes, Lu Bu and Lin Mo are old enough, right?" Zhuge Liang smiled meaningfully.

Just hearing this, Liu Bei also guessed that Zhuge Liang should have some special means, and when he saw him calmly, he couldn't help but feel confident out of thin air.

After all, the battle of Fukong Mountain has confirmed Wolong's talent, if it weren't for Guan Yu's forcible use of troops in Anfeng, the three tips would be enough to go down in history.

"How to borrow?"

"Please calm down, the Lord is in preparation, just when the time comes, not only can Lu Lin send us hundreds of thousands of arrows, but also can be used to deter Cao Cao, so as to protect the Lord from being in a weak position in the alliance." Zhuge Liang confidently assured.

Let Lu Lin send hundreds of thousands of arrows, others say that Liu Bei doesn't believe it, but Zhuge Liang said that he believes it.

Hundreds of thousands of arrows cannot be said to completely solve the needs of the navy, but they can definitely greatly relieve the pressure on ordnance, so in Liu Bei's view, this is the most important.

In Zhuge Liang's eyes, getting arrows is secondary, and it is more important to show means to deter Cao Cao in the coalition army.

In such an alliance, if there is no certain means, it is very likely that the battle situation will become dominated by Cao Cao's side, and Liu and Sun will become subordinate general existences, and even become cannon fodder in this battle, and only Cao Cao will be fulfilled in the end.

"Okay, I'll wait for Mr.'s handwriting." When the river wind blew, Liu Bei only felt heroic in his heart, and asked Lu Lin to borrow the ordnance, although he didn't know what Zhuge Liang would do, but when he thought of Lin Mo taking the initiative to send the ordnance, when he reacted, it should be very interesting, right?

It is true that in Liu Bei's heart, even if he Lin Mo has not tasted defeat for so many years, even if Cao Cao said that he is a million troops alone, and he Lu Bu is a mountain that cannot be crossed by martial artists in the world, he Lin Mo is not at all, at least there is a Zhuge Liang on it.

Jiangxia, Xiling City, Lu Bu, who led the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, had arrived as a striker, and Lin Mo was also with him.

Unlike in the past, it was not the commander who pressed the Chinese army, but the main general Zhao Yun.

This is due to Lu Bu's own eagerness, and there is also the reason why Lin Mo wants to check the water army as soon as possible.

Under the city pass, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, Wei Yan, Lu Xun and Zhu Huan followed behind Zhang Liao to greet him.

"I've seen the general, I've seen Lin Sikong." The crowd bowed their hands.

"Okay, it's all your own people, and it's not above the court now, let's be casual." Lu Bu is still very free and uninhibited, and he is still used to the former military set.

Of course, this is also the most intimate mode of getting along, but when you are in a high position, it does not give people a feeling of getting farther and farther away, which often makes the people below more desperate.

"General, Yunwen, come, let me introduce you first, this is Jiangdong Lu Xun Lu Boyan."

Zhang Liao first patted the elegant young man in battle armor and introduced.

Lin Mo couldn't help but look sideways, he was Lu Boyan, who burned the company camp and shattered Liu Bei's dream to save the Sun regime from danger, and he finally saw him alive.

"This is Jiangdong Zhu Huan, Zhu Xiumu, and this Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang."

After speaking, Zhang Liao also deliberately went to Lu Bu and Lin Mo and whispered: "Zhu Huan and Wei Yan are both stuffy jars, but they are good at water warfare, they can fight and lead troops, Lu Xun is a little worse, but this kid has a bad idea." ”

Burst~

Lin Mo wanted to laugh a little, the god of Liao is the god of Liao, and the summary is very good, the famous four governors of Jiangdong give the impression of the god of Liao as a ghost idea.

"Okay, Bo Yan, Hugh Mu and Wen Chang, I knew you when I was in Xuchang, and today I can be regarded as seeing above, this is our last battle to recover the world, and I hope you can all come up with water warfare skills." Among them, except for Lu Xun, Zhu Huan and Wei Yan are all burly, but in front of Lu Bu, they are still one size smaller.

"The last general and others have also heard of the prestige of the general for a long time, and I can finally see it today." The three responded tacitly.

A few people exchanged a few words, and Lin Mo reacted at this time, frowning and said, "What about Huang Zu?" ”

Zhang Liao glanced back at the city, pouted and said, "He said that he was sick and had no way to meet the general and Sikong." ”

He said he was sick.

Liaoshen's paraphrasing, precise.

"What's the matter, this is to count the excavation of their Huang family's ancestral grave to us, right?" Lu Bu clasped his hands on his chest and asked unceremoniously.

"Uncle Yue's words are serious, I think he has a heart disease, it's okay, I will send him this heart medicine." Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Alright, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, let's go into the city." Seeing that the expressions of the soldiers around him were a little complicated, Lu Bu didn't want to delve into this issue, so he waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Liao to open his way.

On the way, Zhang Liao began to explain the equipment of the navy, "General, Jiangxia originally had about 30,000 sailors, the four major families in Jiangdong brought 15,000 people, we recruited 38,000 people from Qingxu, and Huang Zu also recruited more than 10,000 recruits after receiving the money and grain we sent from Xuchang, totaling a total of 95,000 sailors. ”

Lu Bu nodded, "The scout has reported that the alliance of Cao, Sun and Liu has more than 100,000 sailors, so in terms of strength, the two sides are between the two sides." ”

For this result, Lu Bu is still very satisfied.

After all, whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they already have Jingzhou's naval army on hand, but they have only started to prepare in the past year, if it weren't for their own money and food, how could it be so easy to prepare these horses.

"The number of people is about the same, but the ordnance is far behind." Zhang Liao raised his head proudly.

"How?"

"Liu Bei and Sun Ce's broken ships are not worth mentioning, that is, Cao Cao's naval warship that has Liu Biao, not to mention the warships, red horses, fighting ships and sea hooves, and there are only ten ships.

Our army has 1,500 ships, 1,800 Chima, 380 fighting ships, 300 Haihu, and 30 ships. ”

This is the confidence, these warships are enough to arm 200,000 sailors, and the ordnance is very rich, if Liu Bei listens to it at the scene, it is estimated that Harazi can flow all over the place.

"Good! Take a day off, tomorrow I will personally board the ship to check on our sailors, Wen Yuan, but I want to see how familiar you are with the tactics of water warfare during this time. Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and smiled like a teacher of a student in an examination school.

Anyway, even if the infantry cavalry army in the rear arrives in Jiangxia, it is only stationed in Xiakou, and there is no need to deal with it at all, what Lu Bu has to see now is the cooperation of the naval army.

Of course, this is also the reason why Lin Mo wants to follow the front army.

"No problem, but this warship is swaying on the river, but it is not as stable as the red rabbit horse." A few people around didn't dare to laugh, and Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh alone, there would be no second one in the world who dared to talk to his old father-in-law like this, and Zhao Yun didn't dare.

"Shows you can, huh?" Lu Bu's old face darkened.

Liao Shen was still interested, and immediately changed the topic to look at Lin Mo, "Yunwen, a few days ago, Zhenrong came here again, what is it called, saltpeter, fire oil, these are nothing, what are you pulling ash and dirt for, and when we arrived in Xiling City, he had already made several trips to Xiakou Ferry." ”

Zhang Liao's question not only made Lu Bu stop, but also Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, and Wei Yan on the side, including Lu Xun, were full of curiosity in their eyes.

Lin Mo looked at everyone and smiled, "Be prepared." ”

"Why, the soil you asked him to bring from the north is more fragrant than that in Jingzhou, right?" Zhang Liao teased.

"Shut up! Yunwen did this with his own deep meaning, and he didn't let you pull it, why are you talking so much, go faster! "If it weren't for the large number of people, Lu Bu would have raised his feet normally.

After walking for a while, Lu Bu couldn't help but come over and ask, "So, the soil in the north is really more fragrant than that in Jingzhou?" ”

Lin Mo scratched his head, and said with a smile: "How can it, in fact, I'm not sure, but it may be useful when the time comes, Lord Yue will wait and see." ”

The old father-in-law didn't dig into it, Zhang Liao didn't say anything about it, he didn't know about it, and now his mind was full of thoughts to see the navy, and for these gadgets, he would treat it as his son-in-law's foolishness.
