Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 503 The Navy
"Everyone has misunderstood. Now the lord is seriously injured. In order to prevent someone from harboring malicious intentions and taking the opportunity to cause trouble, the matter of the lord's injury must not be spread outside the public. Therefore, those who know the truth cannot leave without authorization. Even if there is something to leave, we must get other people Your permission." Sun Ce is the leader of Jiangdong's military administration, and when Sun Ce is around, no one in Jiangdong would dare to make trouble, but now that Sun Ce is seriously injured, it is inevitable that some people's minds will become active, not to mention that Jiangdong has many enemies. In addition to Lu Bu who chased and killed Sun Ce, there is also Liu Biao of Jingzhou, who is always watching Jiangdong. Under such internal and external troubles, it is no wonder that Zhou Yu is so careful.

"What the governor said is very true. I will obey." Hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, everyone immediately understood Zhou Yu's meaning. Although there were soldiers hiding outside the door, everyone also understood Zhou Yu's good intentions at this time , Sun Jing stood up first to express her support.

"You are all important ministers trusted by the lord, and I hope you can fully cooperate at this time." Seeing that no one objected, Zhou Yu said again.Although Zhou Yu's previous actions had already overwhelmed everyone and had Sun Jing's support, but everyone was a military commander, Zhou Yu naturally didn't feel that these could overwhelm everyone, so he continued to speak reassuringly.

"Can I see the lord first?" Although everyone did not express any objection to Zhou Yu's actions, they were all important ministers of Sun Ce, so how could they be willing to hand over all the rights to Zhou Yu like this? Huang Gai said on behalf of everyone.They really wanted to see Sun Ce's current situation with their own eyes, so that they could really decide whether to trust Zhou Yu's words.

"Of course." Zhou Yu naturally understood what everyone meant. At this time, no one would trust others easily, not to mention that it was a matter of Jiangdong's rise and fall.

"Report to the Governor, my lord just woke up and wants to see the Governor." At this moment a soldier walked in, thinking of Zhou Yu and clasped his fists.

Not long after, the crowd came to Sun Ce's bedroom under Zhou Yu's leadership, and saw that the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. A group of doctors were busy outside the door, and only two little girls were carefully serving Sun Ce's medicine in the room.

"My lord, how do you feel?" Zhou Yu walked slowly to Sun Ce's bed, bowed slightly, and asked cautiously.

"My body is very strong." Sun Ce said with a smile and said, "I still want to ride the world, how could I die like this."

"My lord." The generals behind Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's pale face, and they stepped forward and called out in a low voice.All of a sudden, everyone felt sad and cried bitterly one by one.

"You don't need to be like this. These days, I need to help you to guard the border and train soldiers for me. In the future, I will lead you to flatten the Central Plains." Sun Ce cheered up slightly when he saw the winning, and couldn't help but encourage the generals.

"General, you are not feeling well. In order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to make trouble, my lord should prepare to return to Wu County as soon as possible, while suppressing Xiao Xiao." Although Sun Ce's complexion was good at this time, Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce was just trying to boost his spirits. , I just want to make winning the lottery feel at ease, so I suggested aloud that once the news of Sun Ce's injury in Lujiang is sent back to Wu County, it is likely to cause people with ulterior motives to make a fuss. Only when Sun Ce returns to Wu County can the stability of Jiangdong be guaranteed. Others can take advantage of it.

"Well, you can arrange this matter." Sun Ce nodded, waved his hand, and asked everyone to retreat. At this time, Sun Ce said a few words, already feeling uncomfortable, in order not to let everyone see his weak side , can only wave to make everyone retreat.

"Everyone, go back and prepare immediately. Except for the troops who need to stay in Lujiang, the other soldiers and horses will prepare immediately and return to Wu County with the Lord." After leaving Sun Ce's room, Zhou Yu thought about the arrangements of the generals.Just in case, Zhou Yu decided to bring back a large number of soldiers and horses to deal with all possible incidents.

But it was said that after Chen Gong led the troops to seriously injure Sun Ce, he returned to Shouchun and was found by Lu Bu. After listening to Chen Gong's report on the interception and killing of Sun Ce.Lu Bu shook his head slightly and said: "It seems that Sun Ce really deserves to die, but that's okay. Although Sun Ce is brave, he is not strong in terms of resourcefulness. Such a character guards Jiangdong. In the future, I will take Jiangdong. , and save a lot of trouble.”

Lu Bu has ruled the world for many years, so naturally he only knows what kind of enemy is easy to deal with. Ma Teng's military strength was so powerful back then. Even Lu Bu's wolf cavalry did not dare to easily fight Ma Chao's Xiliang iron cavalry. After living in Ma Teng, let Ma Teng take charge of Bingzhou, because Ma Teng lacks intelligence, even if he is in charge of state affairs, Lu Bu can easily deal with it.However, for a man as resourceful as Cao Cao, Lu Bu did not dare to relax. When Cao Cao was in charge of Yanzhou, if Lu Bu hadn't taken Yanzhou while Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, I am afraid that he would not be able to take over Yanzhou today. Cao Cao easily defeated, even now Cao Cao's strength is greatly damaged.With only Wancheng in his hands, Lu Bu had to pay attention to it.This is why Lu Bu is not afraid of Sun Ce.What's more, the reason why Lu Bu attacked Sun Ce was that he didn't want Sun Ce to make trouble behind when he was dealing with Yuan Shao. At this time, Sun Ce was seriously injured, but it was also in Lu Bu's mind.

"Master Mingjian." Seeing that Lu Bu had already made up his mind, Chen Gong asked again: "I don't know what my lord is going to do next."

"Hehe, Zhang Liao was ordered to recruit fishermen on the spot in Hongze Lake and train sailors. I will give him [-] soldiers and let him build a strong navy for me." Hearing Chen Gong's question, Lu Bu said with a smile .

Lv Bu has been thinking about the training of the navy for a long time. Whether it is to attack Jingzhou or Jiangdong in the future, the navy will be an indispensable and important force. He especially said that if he attacked Jiangdong, if there was no navy, the soldiers under Lu Bu would not even be able to cross the Yangtze River. That's the problem, how can we talk about attacking Jiangdong.And Hongze Lake is just to the east of Shouchun, and there is a waterway that can lead directly to the Yangtze River. With this navy, Lu Bu can directly send his troops to Jiangdong in wartime, so the Yangtze River, which Jiangdong is most proud of Natural danger is nothing under the feet of Lu Bujun.

"Water army?" Chen Gong was startled when he heard Lu Bu's order, but he immediately understood what Lu Bu meant.Lv Bu is currently training the navy, and after Lv Bu completely wipes out Yuan Shao, the Shun army will come in handy, "My lord's idea is really good, it's not enough. What's more, Sun Ce is good at water warfare, and Zhou Yu, his naval commander, is very familiar with water warfare. I'm afraid it will be difficult for General Zhang Liao to train a naval army that can match him." Although Lu Bu's strategy His eyes were filled with admiration, but Chen Gong showed different opinions on Zhang Liao's appointment as the commander of the navy.

"I don't know if there are any candidates, sir? Our army really lacks talents in this field, not to mention that I can't hand over [-] to someone I don't trust." Lu Bu also agrees with Chen Gong's opinion, but although Lu Bu is a general Ruyun, but there is a real shortage of talents for water warfare. What's more, talents are important, but what is more important than value is loyalty. Lu Bu's soldiers and horses can only be entrusted to those he trusts.

"I have someone to choose. This person's name is Xu Huang. The general might as well let Xu Huang be in charge of training the water army. The number of the water army does not need to be as many as [-]. Just let Xu Huang train [-] water troops, and then let Xu Huang train the water army." He strangled water bandits along the Yangtze River and continued to grow himself. These water bandits have been wandering around the Yangtze River all year round, and they are very familiar with the situation of the Yangtze River. Among them, there are many people who are proficient in water warfare. Such a navy, coupled with the large ships made by skilled craftsmen , it must be enough to deal with the Jiangdong water army." Chen Gong spoke with embarrassment, but quickly drew a blueprint for the development of the water army for Lu Bu, only to hear Lu Bu's eyes light up.

Zhang Liao didn't know much about water warfare, so if he was asked to train the navy, the navy must be weak.Erchen Gong's method is to let the water army grow wolfishly, constantly attack other water bandits, and annex them. In this way, the combat power of the water army will continue to increase. The power of war.

"Hahaha, Mister really awakened the dreamer with just one word, but although Xu Huang has some ability and lacks qualifications, he can't directly give him such a great power, let Cao Xing be the commander of the navy, and Xu Huang be the deputy. , organize and train the water army at Hongze Lake, and wipe out the water bandits." After a while, Lu Bu finally made up his mind.Although Cao Xing is far inferior to Xu Huang in terms of talent, Cao Xing is an old man around Lu Bu. He is pertinent and good at archery. The main weapon in the Second Water War is the bow and arrow, so Lu Bu has great confidence in Cao Xing, of course the most important thing The reason is loyalty. With Cao Xing's talent, Lu Bu believes that no matter where Cao Xing goes, he will not be reused by Lu Bu as much, so Lu Bu also believes that Cao Xing's loyalty to him is unmatched by Xu Huang.Of course, this is also a kind of promotion for Xu Huang. Xu Huang must have worked under Yang Feng in the past, and he was inconspicuous among the generals of the princes. However, Xu Huang performed well during Cao Cao's attack on Sizhou. Jia Xu's approval allowed him to command Yang Feng's troops, but even so, the troops led by Xu Huang were only second-rate miscellaneous troops in the system of Lu Bu's army. Xu Huangcai became the lieutenant general of Lu Bu's first naval army, and he joined Lu Bu's elite troops, which must be different from the past.

"Your Majesty is wise, so you will surely be able to build a powerful navy." Although Lu Bu's decision differs greatly from Chen Gong's opinion, Chen Gong still has to admire Lu Bu's decision, and consider it more than Chen Gong's suggestion thoughtful.
