Chapter 1013 Looking Ahead
Liu Xie turned to Pang Tong. "If the Jiangdong Navy is transferred to join the war, can Jingzhou's money and food support it?"

Pang Tong put away his smile and said seriously: "Twenty to thirty thousand people is not a problem. If there is a shortage, just withdraw the cavalry from Xiliang to Nanyang. Until Yufu is conquered and the cavalry enters the hinterland of Yizhou, the cavalry is useless."

Liu Xie ignored Pang Tong's insinuations and instructed the lecture hall to discuss the pros and cons of Jiangdong Navy's participation in the war.

This is tantamount to rejecting the proposal to transfer Lou Chuanying to Jingzhou.

It is easy for Lou Gui and Huang Zhong to get along with both sides, but the Lou Chuanying has no warships yet, and when they arrive in Jingzhou, they will still be restrained by the Jingzhou Navy, so it is better to directly transfer Sun Ce to join the battle.

As for the conflict between Sun Ce and Huang Zu, it was a test for Zhang Ji.

If Zhang Ji can't control his subordinates, he will be a hussar general, don't dream of being a great general anymore.

Yu Fan also expressed his support for Sun Ce's participation in the war.

There are two reasons: First, Sun Ce's troops are sufficient and their morale is strong.There are more than [-] people in the unit, and they have been fighting since they met Yuan Xi, but they have not experienced a real fierce battle, just like training soldiers.

The second is that Sun Ce's department can not only fight in water, but also attack fortifications, which is beyond the reach of the Jingzhou navy.

Before the words fell, Pang Tong's expression turned a little ugly, he mumbled his lips, and didn't say a word.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Jingzhou navy is indeed very good, far inferior to the Jiangdong navy led by Sun Ce.Huang Zu had fought against Sun Ce before, and was beaten to death.

Zhang Ji was not good at attacking. Of course, there were factors that Yu Fucheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Huang Zu's inability to attack was also one of the reasons.With Sun Ce in place, this road is not only restrained, it is likely to form a breakthrough.

Only in this way, the Jingzhou Navy will be very embarrassed.As a native of Jingzhou, Pang Tong felt a little uncomfortable.

In front of the emperor, he couldn't say anything, so he could only patiently introduce the recent situation in Jingzhou—especially Nanjun.

After Liu Biao was transferred from Jingzhou, Nanjun began to implement Dutian, which has achieved initial results this year, and it is not a big problem for the supply army to attack Yizhou.

Liu Xie was very satisfied, and asked Pang Tong to go to Situ Mansion to adjust the results of the counties in Jingzhou to confirm that the supply of money and food was sufficient, and there was no need for large-scale transfers from other states and counties.

Liu Biao entered the court in the winter of the previous year, and then Nanjun and Jiangxia began to implement Dutian. Last year and this year, with some accumulation, it should not be a big problem to support tens of thousands of troops to attack.

After careful calculation, although Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou in the past few years, although sporadic wars have not stopped, there has been no major war, and there are still some savings.

After learning about the general situation in Jingzhou, Liu Xie turned to ask Sun Ce.

"If you have any other requests, you might as well bring them up together."

Sun Ce was very grateful, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't have any request, I can only fight to the death to repay Your Majesty."

"Don't fight to the death." Liu Xie waved his hand, raised his hand again, and pointed to his temple. "You need to use your brains more to win at the lowest cost. Now that you are still in the country, you can make up for losses as soon as possible. How can you make up for it when you go to sea in the future?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty taught you the right thing." Sun Ce nodded again and again, and then said: "If Your Majesty can let Yu Jijiu accompany you, I will be more confident."

Liu Xie smiled, but did not speak.

Sun Ce was a little embarrassed.

Zhou Yu blinked, moved behind Sun Ce, and said something softly.Sun Ce was slightly taken aback, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yu twice.Zhou Yu lowered his eyelids and nodded calmly.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth, and then said: "Your presumptuousness, the lecture hall is the place where the emperor trains generals, how can you go out with me. How dare you ask your majesty to appoint a military adviser to teach your ministers military affairs, just like the story of Liu Zhengdong."

Liu Xie smiled slightly. "Do you have a candidate?"

"Yes." Sun Ce said, "Scattered riders often serve Pang Shiyuan."

Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. "When Pang Shiyuan comes back, ask him for his opinion." He then said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, you should also go along. Although the geography of Mobei is different from Yizhou, in the future, when we go west and meet Rome, the water will be War is inevitable. Take this opportunity, let's discuss tactics together."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.

Liu Xie finally turned to Yu Fan. "Jijiu, you also take a few people along for a trip, and join the Hussar General's army. The northerners ride horses, and the southerners ride boats. This time, we must advance by land and water, so that Yizhou will be safe as soon as possible, and we will make some preparations for entering Jiaozhou in the future. "

Yu Fan bowed to accept the order.

The students in the lecture hall also looked at each other excitedly.

This is an opportunity picked up.

After talking about Yizhou, Liu Xie talked about Liaodong again.

Liaodong actually has nothing to say.Xun You and Liu Bei are resting there, waiting to set off again next spring.Although Gongsun Du was awarded the title, he still had a daughter who married the King of Goguryeo. It is said that he was ready to take revenge against Gongsun Du.

As for whether it is true or not, Liu Xie does not intend to find out.

Anyway, Goguryeo must be destroyed.

After all this was said, Liu Xie mentioned one more thing.

As the armies from all walks of life gradually started to conquer the barbarians, the Confucian scholars in charge of enlightenment had to keep up with the pace.Wherever the army went, the Confucian scholars should follow. Just like providing teachers for the soldiers in the army, they should also be considerate for the barbarians so that they can bask in the glory of Chinese civilization.

Force can only be conquered for a while, and culture can last forever, truly turning the land beyond culture into a king's land.

This pace can be slower, but it must be there.

After almost finishing speaking, Pang Tong also came back.

As confirmed by the Situ Mansion, the surplus money and food in the four counties of Nanjun, Jiangxia, Changsha, and Wuling are enough to meet the army's campaign, and there is no need for the imperial court to transfer them from other states.If the battle goes well, there will be savings for the future southern expedition to Jiaozhou.

Liu Xie was very satisfied, and immediately asked Jiangwutang to cooperate with the Taiwei to draw up a battle plan.

Knowing that he was also on the expedition, Pang Tong was very surprised. The resentment in his heart dissipated and turned into high spirits.

As early as when Fazheng was released to assist Liu Bei in his expedition, he had been waiting for his chance to go on an expedition, but he did not expect that it would take two years to wait.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

In addition to asking Yu Fan to bring some students from the martial arts lecture hall to participate in the battle, Liu Xie also asked Yu Fan to arrange more craftsmen who are proficient in mechanics to take over the Yuzhang ship's officer and speed up the transformation process of seagoing ships.

The progress of the transformation of sea-going ships is too slow, which has already affected Sun Ce's expedition.After conquering Liaodong, the communication with Liu Bei's Eastern Expeditionary Army will also require a large number of sea ships, which cannot be delayed any longer.

In order to be faster, Liu Xie took the opportunity of handing over the materials of the Roman Navy to the lecture hall, and included some of his own knowledge about sea ships.

He had a feeling that contact with Rome would come sooner than he expected.

This may be the only civilization in this era that is qualified to compete with the great Han. Whether it can win the battle is related to the morale of the people, and whether the Chinese civilization can cross the Congling Mountains and move towards a broader world.

If possible, he wanted to capture Rome before the barbarians in the north invaded on a large scale, instead of waiting for the barbarians to destroy Rome and turn the city of Rome into ruins.

This can be regarded as his little respect for Roman civilization.
