Great Military Division

Chapter 480 Will you hunt in the Han River?Nanyang navy, domineering debut!
Looking at the boat-like warships on the river, rushing towards the city of Xiangyang, Huang Gai stood by the river, holding a blood-dripping Huan Shou knife in his hand, and chewed secretly: "Things like dogs, they run really fast!" quick."

"Fortunately, they ran fast, otherwise this battle would have wiped them all out."

Sun Jian who came after him put away the ancient ingot knife, stared at the battleship on the river with bright eyes, and shouted loudly, venting his dissatisfaction:
"Old thief Cai Hao, come back if you have the guts. This general will blow you to pieces. Don't think that the Han River can protect you. It's just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. When my battleship arrives, let you all be fed to the river." Fish turtle."

Sun Jian thought that no one would reply, but Cai Mao's voice sounded immediately, "Sun Jian, you are only relying on the fire and thunder. If you rely on warships and fight on the river, you may not be my opponent."

"If you are really a man, then you and I will agree to fight on the Han River. If I, Cai Mao, are afraid of you, I will throw myself into the river to feed the fish and turtles."

"But if you dare not."

Cai Mao's voice immediately increased by three points, and spread across the entire other side: "Then in front of your soldiers, say that you are a sick cat, not a tiger. Since you have become a Jiangdong sick cat, do you dare?"

"Haha, Jiangdong sick cat? Interesting."

"The governor is right. Sun Jian is definitely not a tiger, but a sick cat."

"How dare he promise, it must be a sick cat."

"Jiangdong sick cat!"

"Jiangdong sick cat!"

"."

On the surface of the river, waves of sound came, full of banter and sarcasm.

In the eyes of the Jingxiang navy, although he knew that most of Sun Jian's subordinates were sailors, with only a small number of infantry and cavalry, he was a new recruit after all, and he was not an opponent of the Jingxiang navy at all.

Of course.

Sun Jian also understood that Cai Mao was digging a hole for himself.

The purpose of his aggressive tactics was just to put his battlefield on the river, not to forcibly cross the river, use fire and thunder to open the way, forcibly blow up Xiangyang, and seize their foundation.

After all, Cai Mao had already seen the power of Fu Huo and Thunder. He believed that he was definitely not Sun Jian's opponent on land, so he could only think of a way to make the battlefield in his field of expertise, so that he could win by any chance.

"General, don't promise them."

General Huang Gai interrupted without hesitation: "As long as we seize Xiangyang, it will be equivalent to breaking the gate of Jingxiang. Fuhuo Leiting is so easy to use, we should make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses."

"Making strengths and avoiding weaknesses?"

Sun Jian didn't seem to take Huang Gai's words seriously at all, turned his head and glanced at him, and said confidently: "Our shortcomings may not be inferior to Cai Mao's strengths."

"Sooner or later, there will be a battle on the river, either on the Han River or on the Yangtze River. Instead of dragging it to the Yangtze River, it is better to destroy Cai Mao's last bit of confidence in the Han River. This will be more conducive to our next battle."

Huang Gai thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "The general is also reasonable."

So, Sun Jian raised his voice and said hoarsely: "Cai Mao, listen, we will hunt in the Han River, I want you to really understand how big the gap is between you and me."

"You were not as good as me back then, and now, you are not my opponent. Even if there is no Fu Huo Lei Ding, you are definitely not my opponent in Nanyang Hanting."

"Jiangdong Tigers will live up to their reputation!"

The sound was like a bell, and the sound was like thunder, and it spread all over the Han River in an instant.

Cai Mao's voice immediately sounded on the river, full of excitement: "Okay, since that's the case, let's wait and see, I want to see how powerful the Nanyang Hanting's naval army has been for a year."

Sun Jian waved his hand and ordered sonorously: "Brothers, clean up the battlefield, set up camp, and wait for the battleship to come to Fancheng."

All the generals and soldiers cupped their hands together: "Here."

Sun Jian was born in Wujun, Yangzhou. He grew up by the sea since he was a child, and he is proficient in water warfare.

This water army was trained by him himself, not to mention tributaries like the Han River, even the Yangtze River and the ocean, they can still run freely without any problems.

The most important thing is that the warships of this navy are all new types of warships developed by the imperial court. Although there are no giant warships for the time being, there are already several medium-sized warships that are ten feet long.

And such a medium-sized warship is already comparable to the Jingxiang navy's large-scale warships, and the most aggressive warships. As long as the Nanyang navy goes out, it will surely win a big victory.

and!

Sun Jian knew very well that His Majesty ordered him to form a water army not to watch him use Fu Huo Lei Ting, but to see how he used these warships.

It is certainly possible to win Jingxiang by subduing fire and thunder, but it will definitely disappoint His Majesty the emperor and affect his career. This is something Sun Jian absolutely does not want to see.

Just as Sun Jian was about to turn around and leave, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out in front of him. The leader was General Pan Zhang, holding a bloody head in his hand.

"General."

Pan Zhang rushed over excitedly, knelt down on one knee, and presented the head: "The last general beheaded Zhang Yun, the deputy governor of Jingxiang. This is the head of this man. Please check it with the general."

"It's really Zhang Yun."

Sun Jian had already figured out the details of his opponent, so naturally he also knew the appearance of the deputy governor Zhang Yun.

He took a closer look, and sure enough, this frightened, unrepentant head was none other than Zhang Yun.

"Hahaha!"

Sun Jian was ecstatic in his heart, and he raised his head to the sky and let out a haha: "Wen Gui, you have made a great contribution this time. This general will definitely ask His Majesty for your merit in person."

Pan Zhang couldn't hide the joy on his face. Since he came to Nanyang with Liu Bei, Chen Gong, and Cheng Li, he has never had the opportunity to make contributions.

Seeing other people making great achievements, all of them have become the ministers of the major commanders, Pan Zhang has been holding back a lot of energy, and today he is completely elated.

"Thank you, General."

Pan Zhang's voice was loud, and the moment he stood up, he felt much taller.

It seems that in the future, like Zhu Zhi and Huang Gai, he can become a famous general under Sun Jian's command, sit on an equal footing with them, and no longer need to be a dwarf.

"Congratulations, Wen Gui."

Immediately afterwards, Huang Gai clasped his hands together, smiling all over his face.

Pan Zhang was in a good mood, and returned the gift with his hands folded, smiling happily: "It's just a coincidence, it's not worth mentioning."

Although Pan Zhang's reply was relatively modest, there was no lack of arrogance in his heart, and the confidence in his eyes was more than I don't know.

Sun Jian immediately ordered: "Wen Gui."

Pan Zhang clanged, "The end is here."

"Since you obtained this head, it should be up to you to do the next thing."

"Despite the general's orders, the last general will respect everything."

"it is good."

Sun Jian was overjoyed and said loudly: "Zhang Yun is Jingxiang's deputy governor after all, so you go to Xiangyang by boat, give this head to Cai Mao, and tell him to wash his neck and wait to be slaughtered."

Pan Zhang naturally accepted such a boost in morale: "Don't worry, the general, I will leave it to the last general."

Unfortunately
All the battleships were taken away by Cai Mao's men, otherwise Pan Zhang would have to catch up now, activate his taunting skills, and make fun of the Jingxiang navy, there was no other way.Now I can only wait for my own battleship to arrive.

*****
Xiangyang.

Governor's House.

On a huge sand table, the forces of the red and blue sides are marked, and there are many warships behind Xiangyang, which represent the Jingnan princes who are about to come to support.

With his hands behind his back, Kuai Yue stared at the sand table with piercing eyes, thinking about the details of the response in his mind, trying to find a perfect way to successfully stop Sun Jian's troops and horses while consuming the least amount of troops.

After all, Cai Mao did not bring Liu Biao back, which meant that Jing Xiang was a rebel in the eyes of the Nanyang court, and even the people of the whole world.

If they can successfully block the attack of Sun Jian's army at the lowest cost, then they will still have the strength to face the crazy counterattack from Nanyang Hanting.

but
If they were unable to stop Sun Jian's army from attacking, or successfully stopped Sun Jian's army but suffered heavy casualties, then under these conditions, there was also no possibility of survival.

"What should I do?"

Kuai Yue thought about it for several hours, but there was nothing he could do.

He had to know the power of Fu Huo Thunder, otherwise he couldn't make a more rigorous plan.

After all, Fuhuo Leiting is related to Jingxiang's entire strategic offensive. Once Fancheng is broken, Xiangyang will definitely not be able to keep it.

"Damn!"

Kuai Yue frowned, chewed secretly, and greeted: "Come here."

Two soldiers entered from outside the hall: "Military Master, what are your orders?"

Kuai Yue asked again: "Has our people returned from Fancheng yet?"

The soldier shook his head: "No."

"Send someone across the river to find out."

"Here."

Just when the soldiers were about to bow and leave.

suddenly.

There was a hasty report from outside the hall:

"Report—!"

Kuai Yue looked up.

But I saw that the governor Cai Mao hurried over, his expression was astonished and terrified.

Now that the war is tense, Cai Mao, as the governor of Jingxiang, should have appeared on the front line, but he never thought he would appear here.

Hard to do.
Although Kuai Yue had expected it, he was still a little unwilling after all, and tentatively asked: "Degui, what are you doing?"

Before Kuai Yue could finish asking, Cai Mao interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said, "Alien, don't ask, we have already lost the battle. Although the city walls have been strengthened, we are still no match for Fuhuo Leiting."

"Have to admit it."

Even Cai Mao himself couldn't help but praise sincerely: "The fire and thunderbolts indeed have the effect of breaking mountains and cracking rocks. Most of the walls of Fancheng have collapsed. If Zhang Yun hadn't led the troops to start street fighting in the city, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

"what?"

Kuai Yue was surprised: "How is this possible?"

Cai Mao nodded with great certainty: "It's true."

"Damn!"

Kuai Yue cursed secretly, and made a gesture to pack up his things: "De Gui, since this is the case, quickly gather troops and retreat. Xiangyang City has not been reinforced, so naturally it cannot withstand the fire and thunder. Let's go now, there is still time."

According to the original plan, once it was determined that Xiangyang could not be defended, they would withdraw their troops, leave Xiangyang, rush to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and start a desperate confrontation with the Nanyang court, striving to rule the river.

Now, since Cai Mao had already lost, and he still said such words, it naturally proved the power of Fu Huo and Thunder, and even broke Kuai Yue's confidence in sticking to Xiangyang.

That being the case, it is better to retreat as soon as possible and think of a way. Anyway, the princes in Jingnan have not rushed to support, which can save a lot of integration time.

"Don't worry about the difference."

However, Cai Mao took his time and said with a long breath: "Maybe we can persevere."

Kuai Yue frowned, as if he heard something: "De Gui, what do you mean?"

Cai Mao said very solemnly: "Sun Jian promised me that he would hunt on the Han River and compete with us in the navy."

"Bi Shuijun?"

Kuai Yue couldn't believe it.

Even he couldn't believe such a result.

You know, the Jingxiang navy has been established for at least ten years, and Cai Mao is even more famous for his navy and is proficient in water warfare. How dare Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, dare to compete with Cai Mao?Is this not hitting a stone with an egg?
"Yes."

Cai Mao nodded affirmatively: "Sun Jian personally agreed."

Kuai Yue still couldn't believe it, and shook his head: "Could this be Sun Jian's plan to delay the attack?"

Cai Mao frowned: "A plan to delay the attack?"

"kindness."

Kuai Yue nodded: "He wants us to relax our vigilance, and then wait for Jingnan's reinforcements to come and fight us to the death, so as to wipe us all out. In this way, the next battle will be much easier."

"this."

Cai Mao paused for a moment, then shook his head: "I really didn't think of it."

Kuai Yue breathed out: "Now, Sun Jian has an absolute advantage, and once he wins Xiangyang, it will be regarded as a great achievement for His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang. If I were Sun Jian, I would naturally not give up such an opportunity."

"Makes sense."

Cai Mao nodded slowly, and said deeply: "How about this, we temporarily make the four Jingnan counties unnecessary to support, and I just lead the Jingxiang water army to fight against the thieves."

"If Sun Jian really confronts me on the Han River, then it won't be too late to get them to support. If he doesn't fight me, but just lies to us, then it's not too late for us to retreat in defeat."

In this way, it is also feasible.

Kuai Yue thought for a moment, then said softly: "If Xiangyang can be kept, it is naturally the best. If not, we will have to lose. Let's do it according to your method first."

"it is good."

Cai Mao responded, subconsciously clenching his fists: "This time, I want to make Sun Jian clear that even if ten Sun Jians are tied together, they are definitely not my opponent."

Kuai Yue was very aware of Cai Mao's strength in water warfare, and immediately patted him on the shoulder: "General Governor, you can let go and do it, and leave the rest to me. Together, we can protect Xiangyang."

"kindness."

Cai Mao nodded, took a long breath, and his expression was slightly melancholy: "The only pity is that my deputy governor Zhang Yun, I don't know if he can come back."

Kuai Yue breathed out, and said softly: "It's best to come back. If he doesn't come back, there's nothing he can do. He sacrificed himself for Xiangyang, so we can't be sorry for his sacrifice."

"Report—!"

At this moment, another long report sounded outside the tent.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue looked up.

but see
General Deng Yi hurried into the hall with a wooden box, and knelt down on one knee: "Military advisor, commander-in-chief."

Cai Mao frowned, his eyes fell on the wooden box: "Captain Deng, what do you mean?"

Deng Yi raised the wooden box with both hands, handed it up, and said with a frown, "Commander, this is a gift from Sun Jian, who said it was specially for you, so the general sent it here."

"Oh?"

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment: "For me?"

Deng Yi nodded: "Well, that's right."

Before Cai Mao could speak, Kuai Yue interrupted ahead of time: "Open it and have a look."

Cai Mao glanced at Kuai Yue, and immediately understood what the other party meant.

Kuai Yue was worried that he would be murdered, so he asked Deng Yi to help open it instead of submitting it.

Cai Hao didn't change his words, but nodded: "Quick, open it and have a look."

"Here."

As a last resort, Deng Yi could only respond and put the wooden box on the floor. The moment he opened the lid, he was so frightened that he threw the wooden box away. He fell back and fell to the ground with a plop.

but see
A huge head, Kururu rolled out of the wooden box, rolled, and then came to Cai Mao, a familiar face appeared in front of Cai Mao immediately.

"Zhang Zhangyun?"

Cai Mao had a look of disbelief, with a trace of fear in his face.

Zhang Yun's eyes were staring like bells, his eyes were full of fear in capital letters and bold. It was obvious that the other party was frightened before he died.

If it wasn't for sending the head, Cai Mao would have suspected that Zhang Yun was scared to death by something, rather than being killed by someone. Such a face is really shocking.

Cai Hao only felt a chill down his back, as if Zhang Yun was yelling at him, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Put away the head of Vice Governor Zhang, and send someone to bury him in Xianshan. There must be no mistakes."

Only then did the guard beside him take a step, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here."

Fortunately, Cai Mao had experienced many battles and had seen many dead people, so he did not show his flaws. Otherwise, Kuai Yue would really suspect that Zhang Yun's death was caused by Cai Mao, not Nanyang.

"This is Sun Jian's challenge to us!"

After the guards took out the head, Kuai Yue let out a sigh of relief, speaking in a dark tone.

"Don't worry about it."

With a gloomy face, Cai Hao clenched his iron fists and said coldly, "Cai will definitely let Sun Jian know who is the real king of water warfare, and he will never let him be arrogant again."

Kuai Yue bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "Great Governor, Jingxiang is relying on you. If we lose this battle, it will definitely involve Yangzhou and Yizhou. If we win, I will personally rush to Yangzhou to persuade Liu Yao , draw the river and govern."

Water battle!

It is Jing Yang's strongest trump card.

If the water battle can be won, then Kuai Yue has enough reasons.

Like Liu Biao, Liu Yao had no choice but to surrender to the Han court. If he failed to win Liu Biao, he could only fight Liu Yao, and the only thing that could make Liu Yao's heart move was to break Nanyang's invincibility. It's a myth.

Cai Mao took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Don't worry, I will leave it to Cai."

Kuai Yue nodded heavily: "Well, I believe in you."

*****
Nanyang, Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

Wende Hall.

Liu Bian held the memorial that Xun Yu handed over, and read it carefully.

I have to admit that Xun Yu is indeed a very capable assistant, and he can control every detail very well.

Now that spring is about to start, he has arranged the farming plans in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Guanzhong, and even Liangzhou very well, and even combined with the imperial court's strategy, he is planning to open a horse farm in Liangzhou.

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded and nodded: "Wen Ruo, your farming plan is very good, just do it according to your own pace. Although Liangzhou is relatively desolate, you still can't give up. After all, it is our ancestors, and it took a long time to conquer it. of."

"What we have to do is how to make good use of this land instead of abandoning it. Whether it can play its due role is all up to you."

In history, many people disliked Liangzhou. After all, six out of ten battles in the late Han Dynasty all took place here. Liangzhou had no positive benefits for the Han Empire, and all of them were negative benefits. This caused many officials to , wanting to abandon Liangzhou.

But in fact, in Liu Ben's plan, in the future, the seeds of potatoes and corn will be brought back. The land in Liangzhou can also produce crops, and the yield will never be low.

of course!

This is just for crops, not for minerals.

Liangzhou is very rich in mineral resources, such as coal mines, iron ore, manganese ore, etc., and the largest gold mine in Asia is also here. Compared with farming, this place is indeed poor, but the advantages of mineral resources can more than make up for it.

Xun Yu bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is no king's land in the world. No matter how barren Liangzhou's land is, it is the territory of the Han Dynasty after all, and I will definitely make good use of it."

"kindness."

Liu Bian was very satisfied with this. He nodded and said, "Oh yes, spring is about to begin. Cao Cao, Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, Liu Yu, and Gongsun Zan have all signed up and are ready to attack at any time."

Xun Yu naturally understood the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have ordered the governors of all parties to mobilize food and grass to ensure the military supplies of the army."

"I want to come."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu thought for a moment, and said softly: "Before spring, it will definitely be resolved, mainly some places need to transport grain and grass by water, but now the ice water has just melted, the river is shallow, and it is difficult to sail, so there is a delay. "

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded, expressing his understanding.

After all, Jizhou is no better than the south, and now it is the Little Ice Age, and the transportation of grain and grass in the river will indeed be blocked, which is reasonable. If you want to rely on horses to transport, it will naturally delay time.

"Kaichun solves it directly, and strives to eliminate Yuan Shao within two months."

Liu Bian didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly issued the final ultimatum.

Such a battle is not difficult for an army of 50: "If Yuan Shao can be dealt with within a month, all the army leaders will be rewarded."

After all, this will not delay the spring plowing in Jizhou, and the fulfillment of the promise to the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army can make the three-year development of the empire rejuvenate and have its own rhythm.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Xun Yu bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said sonorously: "This is how the ministers originally planned. In the farming plan, there is a plan for farming in Jizhou. You can rest assured."
