Chapter 120: Bleak Wind and Cold Rain Sword (Plus 1)
"The last general obeys the order!" Gan Ning clenched his fists and said, "Dare to ask the lord, how many soldiers and horses should this ocean-going sailor have, and how many warships?"
Wei Xuan said: "You can transfer 5,000 people who are proficient in water and good at boating in the Jingzhou Navy Army, and the rest can be recruited in coastal fishing villages, and the more the better." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yu turned his hand and asked, "The lord formed a water division, does he want to take Yizhou?"
Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Not to mention Yizhou, Wei also wants to take Nanyang, Fusang, Australia, and America." Expand the territory of my Han Dynasty and raise the prestige of my Han Dynasty!"
Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Dian Wei and other generals all applauded in unison. It is their pursuit to expand the territory and make contributions.
Yu Tuo was also infected, and said loudly: "My subordinates also know the nature of the water and the sea conditions, so they can help General Gan." However, I live by the sea, and I only hear about Nanyang and Fuso, but I don't know where Australia and America are?"
Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Australia and America are on the other side of the ocean, and when the sailors are successful, Wei will personally lead the others to see the exotic scenery." However, Wei will only give you four years at most. Four years later, Wei hopes to see a strong sailor. Within four years, in order to form a water division, Wei must give people and money!"
Gan Ning and Yu glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely live up to our mission!"
......
Soon, Gan Ning encircled a large beach near Yinxian County and began to build a military port, and sent people to Dongting Lake to select and transfer troops, horses and boats, and at the same time recruited fishermen from various townships to join the army.
Wei Xuan further promulgated a decree that the salaries of the officers and men of the ocean-going naval division were twice as high as those of ordinary officers and soldiers, and many teachers were recruited to guide the children of these officers and men in reading and writing. In fact, there was not much time left for Wei Xuan, and he did not expect to train a group of successors to the ocean-going naval division from these children, just to let these officers and soldiers see hope.
On the issue of the warships of the ocean-going naval division, Wei Xuan also spent a lot of effort. Using his knowledge of popular science, he designed a three-masted sailing ship and proposed the concepts of a compass, a watertight cabin, a lifeboat, and a lifebuoy. As for how these things are solved, that's a matter for the craftsmen. Wei Xuan believes in the wisdom of these craftsmen, and also believes that they can perform exceptionally under heavy rewards.
......
Guo Jia saw that Wei Xuan was busy with the ocean-going sailors all day long, and couldn't help but be a little worried, and said: "Since ancient times, the soldiers have been fast, and the lord has been in Huiji for many days. ”
For Wei Xuan, the formation of the ocean-going naval division has come to an end, and it is indeed time to continue the battle to collect Jiangdong. He couldn't help nodding and said: "What Feng Xiao said is very true, from tomorrow, you and I will be divided into two ways." Fengxiao and Hansheng all the way, take Wu County. Wei and Dian Wei went all the way to take Danyang. How?"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "In this way, Feng Xiao wants to make a bet with the lord to see who will do it first!"
Wei Xuan laughed and said: "Okay! Then make a bet, and the loser will be punished with three drinks." ”
......
On March 28 of the first year of Chuping, the Jingzhou army divided into two routes, attacking Wujun and Danyang respectively.
At that time, Danyang Taishou was called Zhou Xin, and he also had an elder brother named Zhou Ang, who was Jiujiang Taishou. Although Zhou Xin is the Taishou of Danyang, there is a very powerful thief named Zulang in Danyang County, occupying most of the land southwest of Danyang, and the counties of She County, Jing County, Lingyang, and Yixian County are under Zulang's control.
Wei Xuan had some impressions of the name Zu Lang, but thinking that he was just a thief, he didn't take him seriously, and led the military horse straight to Jing County.
Zu Lang is known as the marshal of Jing County, Jing County is his foundation, and Jing County is Zhou Xin's territory further northeast. Therefore, Jing County is equal to being sandwiched between Zu Langjun and Zhou Xinjun. Using this as a breakthrough can easily cause chaos, and it is actually not the best choice. But Wei Xuan still chose this place, because there is a boundary gate near Jing County.
As Guo Jia expected, whether it was Danyang Zhou Xin, Wu Jun who guarded Shengxian, or the thieves Zu Lang and Yan Baihu, they had already heard the rumors and strengthened their vigilance. As soon as Wei Xuan's soldiers and horses left Shanyin City, they reported to Zu Lang.
Hearing that Wei Xuan was coming to attack Jing County, Zu Lang was furious, and took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and the two armies met twenty miles southeast of Jing County.
Zu Lang held a spear in his hand, took the lead, and said sharply: "Wei Xuan, you and I have no grudges in the past, and no enmity in the near future, why do you violate my borders!"
Wei Xuan laughed and said: "I am an officer and soldier, you are a thief, and it is only right for officers and soldiers to catch thieves!"
Zu Lang sneered: "Then you dare to fight a certain battle!"
Dian Weize immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Little thief, you are also worthy of being a bus driver with my master, and eat a certain halberd!"
Zu Lang was not afraid, and greeted him with a gun. The two fought in one place for about ten rounds, and there was no winner. can fight with Dian Wei for more than a dozen rounds, and this Zulang's martial arts are extraordinary. Wei Xuan saw it in the back and was surprised, so he opened his divine sense to explore, only to know that Zu Lang was also a famous martial artist.
In fact, in history, Zu Lang and Sun Ce have fought many times, and they have won and lost each other. It was not until the end, when Sun Ce's army was growing stronger, that Zu Lang had to lead the crowd to surrender. Among the military generals who were ignored in the Three Kingdoms era, there should definitely be a place for Zulang.
Seeing this, Wei Xuan couldn't help but have the heart to solicit, so he shouted: "Stop, two of you!"
Dian Wei waved his halberd to force Zu Lang back, reined in his horse, and said loudly: "Why don't you let someone kill this bureaucracy!"
Wei Xuan waved his hand and stepped forward and said, "Zulang, are you willing to submit to this official?"
Zu Lang said disdainfully: "What can you do, dare to make a certain surrender!"
Wei Xuan shook his head and said: "It is not easy for this official to take pity on you to practice martial arts, and I can't bear to hurt you under the evil halberd, so I kindly persuaded you to surrender, but you don't know how to advance or retreat." In that case, this official will teach you a lesson!"
After speaking, Wei Xuan took out the fairy sword, and with a slight wave, dozens of sword qi slashed in the direction of Zu Lang.
When Zu Lang and Dian Wei fought just now, they were already a little timid, and if they held out for five or six rounds at most, they would definitely lose. To Dian Wei, Zu Lang was convinced. But Wei Xuan was just a polite white-faced scholar in his eyes, and he was naturally full of disdain if he wanted him to surrender. At this moment, Wei Xuan slashed with a sword.
Zu Lang couldn't help but shiver and felt a chill to his bones. He subconsciously waved the spear in his hand, dancing like a windmill, trying to block the sword qi emitted by Wei Xuan. But he only heard the sound of clicking, and the spear had already broken into several pieces, and sharp pains came from his hands. His mount also let out a mournful roar, causing him to fall to the ground with his men and horses.
As soon as Wei Xuan's legs clamped the horse's belly, the red rabbit horse appeared in front of Zu Lang like a red lightning bolt. The fairy sword in Wei Xuan's hand pointed at Zu Lang's throat, and said in a deep voice: "Are you convinced!"
At this time, Zu Lang realized that there were dozens of ravines more than half a foot deep on the ground in front of him, and the four hooves of his mount had all been cut off. That is, Wei Xuan's sword was not aimed at him, otherwise where would he still be alive.
Zu Lang looked at all this in disbelief and muttered, "What kind of sword technique is this?"
Wei Xuan slowly said five words: "Bleak Wind and Cold Rain Sword!"
