Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 245 General Wei is mighty!
Cao Cao borrowed troops from himself!

Zhang De coughed dryly: "Mr. Man, the Yellow River breached in Le'an County a few days ago, and now our soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou are rushing to repair the Yellow River dam, and we really can't spare any troops! But since our two alliances are fighting against Yuan, I don't think so Let me order people to transport [-] dan of grain and grass first, and then send troops to go after the Yellow River embankment is repaired, how about it?"

Man Chong nodded. Although it was an alliance against Yuan, Cao Cao also knew that the chances of Zhang De sending troops were not high. What's more, there was still a judge waiting there in Leling County. It makes sense.

Thinking of this, Man Chong said: "Thank you, Lord Taiwei, for your kindness! But please, Lord Taiwei, must put some pressure on Leling's interrogation, and prevent him from using his troops to support Guandu!"

"On this point, you go back and tell your master, please rest assured!"

Just as Man Chong was about to resign, Zhang De suddenly remembered something: "By the way, go back and tell your lord that Yuan Shao has stored all the food and grass in Wuchao, and the guard Chunyu Qiong is a drunkard!"

Zhang De's words made Man Chong puzzled. Now that the frontline battle is stalemate, Cao Jun has not yet shown his initial fatigue.Although Man Chong is also a resourceful person, he doesn't know how far the two armies are currently fighting. Naturally, he can't think of the key to the battle of Guandu - Wuchao!
……

After sending Man Chong away, Zhang De immediately summoned the generals.

Under the tent, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Li Yan, Chen Gong, Lu Su, and Xu Shu surrounded a circle with a map in the middle.

This is a map of eastern China. On the map, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places can be seen at a glance. What is even more commendable is that the ocean occupies one-third of the map, and the coastline is particularly clearly marked.

This was drawn by Zhang De based on the map of the Three Kingdoms and his own memory!

On the map, apart from the coastline, the upper Jizhong Plain is the clearest, and the Taihang Mountains, every mountain and every hill are clearly marked.I am afraid that it is impossible for someone who has been in the Taihang Mountains for a lifetime to plot it so clearly.

In his previous life, when Zhang De was in the Eighth Route Army, he had fought guerrilla warfare against the enemy in Jizhong, especially the Taihang Mountains, and he was very familiar with it. Zhang De knew where there were caves in some places.Just imagine that there is no guerrilla who is not familiar with the terrain!
"General Gan Ning, if we start from Donglai and go to the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou with the navy, is it feasible?" Zhang De asked, pointing to the map.

The junction of Youzhou and Jizhou is where Tianjin is now.

"The lord wants to attack Jizhou by sea?" Everyone woke up like a dream.

Zhang De nodded.The waves in the Bohai Bay are not big, and it is much less difficult for the navy to sail.

Gan Ning shook his head: "My lord, this is very difficult! You must know that sailing on the sea is difficult to grasp the direction! If there is no wind and no sun on the sea, it may be difficult to distinguish east, west, north and south! If you march along the coast, it is easy to be spotted by Yuan Shao!"

What Gan Ning said is also true, the sea is no better than the Yangtze River, and it is the worst thing to avoid getting lost when sailing!
Zhang De nodded: "General Gan Ning, I can help you solve this matter!" Then, he took out a round plate from his pocket, with a small needle on it, which was a compass!

China did not use the compass for navigation until the eleventh century AD. Before walking on the sea, most of them relied on the monsoon and the sun to identify the direction!

Gan Ning didn't know what it was, but Lu Su recognized it at a glance: "Master, is this made by Cishi?"

Zhang De nodded.In the Han Dynasty, people called the breathing iron stone Cishi.

People at that time called "magnetism" "compassion" and they regarded the magnet's attraction to iron as the attraction of a loving mother to her children.He also believes that: stone is the mother of iron, but there are two kinds of stones: kind and unkind. A kind stone can attract his children, but an unkind stone cannot.Before the Han Dynasty, people wrote the magnet as "cishi", which means the stone of love.

"Look, everyone, this needle points north, and this needle guides, so this thing is called a compass!" Zhang De explained cheerfully.

Everyone was very curious when they saw this new thing for the first time. Gan Ning took it and tested it for a long time, holding a compass around the ground, but no matter how Gan Ning wandered around, the needle would always point in one direction.

"My lord, this is really a good thing. With this thing, we will never lose our way at sea!"

"Gan Ning, if you have this thing, you may send my soldiers to the border between Youzhou and Jizhou?"

"My lord, don't worry, with this thing, Gan Ning will not disgrace his life!"

At this time, Chen Gong finally stood up: "My lord, it is a good way to go by sea, but it is too dangerous. The entire Jizhou and Youzhou are Yuan Shao's territories. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of annihilation of the entire army. How many people are there is also a problem. If there is too much transportation, food and grass cannot be replenished, and if there is too little transportation, it will not pose any threat to Yuan Shao!"

Zhang De nodded, what Chen Gong said made sense.I really hadn't thought of this before.Who said he had no experience in the navy!
At this time, Wei Yan suddenly stood up: "Master, Yan Yuan leads the troops to attack Yuan Shao's rear!"

"Oh! How many troops do you want?"

"Give me 3000 troops, and I will win Nanpi for the lord! If the lord gives me 5000 troops, I am willing to win Jizhou for the lord!"

How arrogant!This is everyone's first thought.

At this time, Zhang De suddenly felt that the young Wei Yan suddenly grew taller.Zhang De seemed to see Wei Yan under Liu Bei's account.I remembered the passionate conversation between Liu Bei and Wei Yan!
"If Cao Cao brings a crowd of [-] people here! What can I do?"

"Extend the wish to be swallowed by the lord!"

"What if you bring the soldiers of the whole country?"

"Extend the wish and refuse it for the Lord!"

What courage!It is also because of this courage that Liu Bei dared to hand over Hanzhong to Wei Yan.

Because of this courage, Wei Yan dared to propose to Zhuge Liang to lead troops out of Ziwu Valley to raid Chang'an!
Looking at Wei Yan, Zhang De suddenly felt that his blood was boiling too!

"Okay, General Wei is mighty! Wei Yan obeys the order and orders you to bring 1 horses and raid Jizhou by sea!"

"The last will obey!"

"My lord, I'm not willing to go along with General Wei Yan!" Wei Yan had just taken the order, when another person stepped forward, it was Xu Shu!

Xu Shu was moved by the majestic arrogance.Although Xu Shu's first impression of Wei Yan was that he was arrogant, Wei Yan was a very proud person!
Good man, as it should be!

"That being the case, Yuan Zhi will be the military advisor of the army!"

……

In March of the fifth year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shaozheng in Guandu were fighting fiercely, Wei Yan, Xu Shu, and Gan Ning led 1 people to board a ship in Donglai, and rushed to Jizhou by sea. Wei Yan, also because of this battle, Fight to fame!
