Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 619 United with Yamagoshi
"My lord's navy is truly extraordinary." At this moment, Cai Mao, who saw Lu Bu's Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner sailors in full swing, murmured involuntarily in a daze.Cai Mao naturally saw the scene of Han Dang rushing over with the navy just now. He thought that Lu Bu's navy would suffer a big loss, but the facts proved that Cai Mao was wrong. The performance of the Xianglan and Zhenglan flags made Cai Mao understand Now, others are the real sailors, and these are just infantry sitting on the boat.

"Hehe, Lord Regent's navy is really good, but although such a navy is fierce, it is not invulnerable. If the regent can overcome this loophole, he will be invincible on the Yangtze River." After all, Pang Tong is well-informed, Although the performance of Xianglan Qi and Zhenglan Qi is amazing, it is within the acceptance range of Pang Tong. It must be the ace of the navy that Lu Bu has hidden for many years. If there are no amazing things, Lu Bu But it would be embarrassing.

"Mister said there is a loophole?" Hearing Pang Tong's words, Cai Mao was surprised at first, but then he thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "It's true that warships are made of wood, and the regent must spend a lot of money to build such a warship." It is very huge, and the keel of the ship is not easy to find, but the bigger the ship, the more difficult it is to defend against fire attack, especially when the local military boats come with burning materials, it is even more difficult to guard against it." After listening to Pang Tong's words, Cai Mao understood the truth after thinking about it for a while, and said.

"The general is really good at mastering the navy. It seems that the general will be promoted soon. At that time, the general should not forget to be subordinate. As for the present, the general should focus on the battle in front of him. Zhou Yu wants I ran away." Seeing that Cai Mao was quick to tell, Pang Tong smiled and reminded Cai Mao.

"Um, such a good opportunity, but Zhou Yu can't be allowed to run away. Send an order, and all the warships will start to move forward and entangle the Jiangdong navy." At this time, Cai Mao suddenly realized, and quickly sent an order to let his warships catch up.The two sides had been fighting each other, and now the Jiangdong navy wanted to break away from the battle, but Cai Mao's navy rushed forward to buy time for the arrival of the Xianglan Banner and Zhenglan Banner warships.

"General, the Jiangdong navy is rushing towards us, what should we do?" At the same time, the generals around Zhang Yun also noticed something wrong and asked Zhang Yun quickly.

"What are you panicking about? Come to me and entangle them. Today is the time for us to make meritorious deeds. Pass the order, and the regent is watching us on the shore. If you want to make meritorious deeds, come to me. Kill Zhou Yu, and we will be promoted and make a fortune together." Seeing Zhou Yu's navy rushing over, Zhang Yun rushed forward with his soldiers and horses as if a hungry wolf saw the food, as if Zhou Yu was the lamb to be slaughtered.

"General, shall we go up immediately?" Seeing that the battle between the Jiangdong navy and the Jingzhou navy immediately became fierce, Xu Huang, the deputy commander of the Xianglan Banner, cupped his hands and asked Cao Xing, the orthodox commander next to him.

"Our ships are not suitable for such a close-range fight. Let's use the semaphore to ask Zhenglan Banner what they think." Cao Xing hesitated for a while, and then said to Xu Huang.As the commander, Cao Xing enjoys absolute authority in the Xianglan Banner, but Cao Xing knows his own strength. Such a big battle is definitely not something he can do at will, he must fight, but how to fight can not hurt Only when the Xianglan Banner is reached can the results of the battle be maximized, but Cao Xing wants to hear the opinion of Chen Gong, the commander of the Zhenglan Banner. It must be the first time that the navy of the Xianglan Banner has participated in such a large-scale water battle.

"Sir, the Xianglan Banner asked us how we should act?" Seeing the semaphore from the Xianglan Banner, Tai Shici, who was the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner, cupped his hands and asked Chen Gong beside him. The governor of Xuzhou, the leader of Zhenglan Banner is Tai Shici's immediate boss.

"General Tai Shici has a lot of research on the beauty of the navy, and he was an official in Jiangdong before. How about the general talk about the current situation?" Chen Gong did not answer Tai Shici's question, but turned to Ask Tai Shici.

"My lord, if you ask me this question, I will make a fool of myself. The ships of our army are not easy to build, and their hulls are huge, which is not suitable for this kind of close-to-hand combat between warships. However, the ballistas equipped by our army are powerful and powerful. With the ability of long-range combat, in my opinion, we might as well arrange the warships around the battlefield and wait for the opportunity to launch long-range attacks, so that we can achieve the goal of destroying the enemy, and at the same time avoid unnecessary damage to our warships." Seeing Chen Gong asking, Tai Shici nodded, and then said to Chen Gong.

"What the general said is very true, so I don't worry, so let's do what the general said." Hearing that Tai Shici's words were very reasonable, Chen Gong nodded and said.

"Where is the inlaid blue flag?" Tai Shici still asked.

"Let them act together with us." Chen Gong said.

So I saw the Xianglan Banner and Zhenglan Banner navy that appeared together, suddenly split into two at this time, and surrounded the battlefield of Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy, covering the entire battlefield.

"Grandma, it's not that easy to eat me. Pass the order, and all the ships will rush forward regardless of the cost." Seeing the performance of Xianglan Qi and Zhenglan Qi, Zhou Yu immediately understood their intentions, and immediately Lead the ship to rush forward.

As a result, Zhang Yun's navy could no longer hold on, and was soon rushed out of a hole.However, in order to get out of this hole, the Jiangdong navy also paid a heavy price.

"It seems that we don't need to encircle. My lord, let's pursue it." Seeing that the formation of the Jingzhou navy was torn apart, Tai Shici frowned and suggested to Chen Gong.

"It's good to send orders to pursue, but don't chase too close." Chen Gong nodded in agreement.

"I understand that we will keep the Jiangdong navy within our attack range and not get close to them." Tai Shici said with a knowing smile.

"Sir, do we want to pursue?" At this time, Xu Huang also asked Cao Xing.

"Of course we have to chase. The Yangtze River should have been the territory of our Xianglan Banner. The Jiangdong water army retreated. How could we not pursue it?" After speaking, he personally waved the command flag and chased after him.

"My lord, it seems that the navy troops of Xianglan Banner and Zhenglan Banner need to be equipped with some helpers." Xun Yu, who witnessed the entire water battle on the tower of Jiangxia in the distance, suddenly raised his head and said to Lu Bu who was beside him.

"Sir, you also feel that the Xianglan Banner and the Zhenglan Banner are lacking?" Lu Bu asked Xun Yu, turning around.

"Isn't that exactly what my lord meant?" Xun Yu said after smiling mysteriously.

"I want Cai Mao to select elites from the Jingzhou Navy and bring their warships into the Zhenglan Banner Navy. Let Cai Mao go over and become the deputy commander of the capital. I don't know what you think, sir?" Lu Bu smiled slightly. Speak out your own thoughts.

"My lord, this is a good idea. There are two advantages to doing this. First, Cai Mao and this part of the Jingzhou navy can join in, which can make up for the weakness of the Zhenglan Banner navy's lack of melee combat, and prevent the enemy from using small boats to attack the Zhenglan Banner. In addition, by emphasizing Cai Mao, the biggest hero in Jingzhou, from Jingzhou, it will also be convenient for the lord to completely control Jingzhou, so two birds with one stone can be said to be wonderful." Xun Yu praised Lu Bu's plan.

"How about appointing Zhang Yun as the vice-captain of the Xianglan Banner, sir?" Lu Bu said again.

"My lord, this plan is naturally good. The most commendable part of the Jingzhou army is the navy. My lord separated Cai Hao and Zhang Yun into Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner respectively. This will not only increase the strength of Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner It has greatly expanded, and more importantly, with the addition of the Jingzhou navy, the Yangtze River is no longer a natural danger for the lord, but like a grassland, like the Kanto, like Hebei, it is a battlefield where the lord can gallop." Xun Yu continued. Open your mouth and say.

"Hehe, sir, you are my candidate for the future prime minister. Such flattery is not the style that a prime minister should have." Seeing Xun Yu's flattery, Lu Bu couldn't help teasing.

"Um, the Lord Regent laughed at me." Hearing what Lu Bu said, Xun Yu felt a little embarrassed.

A few days later, when he returned to Xiangyang, Lv Bu threw a big banquet to celebrate the victory of the Jiangxia battle, and rewarded all the ministers who made contributions. Then he said to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, "I am very satisfied with the performance of the two of you. Little ones, you should also change places. From now on, the Jingzhou navy will be divided into two. Cai Mao led a part into the Zhenglan Banner, Cai Mao was promoted to be the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner, and Zhang Yun led the rest into the Xianglan Banner. Zhang Yun was promoted to the deputy commander of Xianglan Banner, you two must continue to work hard in the future."

"It's the lord. I'll definitely do my best to help the lord." Seeing that the two of them had so quickly become the very famous vice-captains of the Eight Banners under Lu Bu and became Lu Bu's direct descendants, the two of them were pleasantly surprised by coincidence. The selection is very strict, and it is not easy to enter, let alone the deputy capital commander in the Eight Banners Army.

"Now, our naval forces have achieved phased victories, and the Yangtze River can no longer stop our army's pace. What do you think, how should we deal with Jiangdong Sun Quan in the future?" Now that the situation is very good, Lu Bu naturally thought of pacifying Jiangdong , asked the crowd.

"My lord, Jiangdong Sun Quan is now meat on the chopping board. Why should you be in a hurry? I heard that Sun Quan has always wanted to subdue the Shanyue people, but the Shanyue people have always been unwilling to surrender to Sun Quan. As long as the lord sends someone to contact the Shanyue people , it will cause Sun Quan to suffer a lot, so why should the lord do it himself?" At this moment, a scribe stood up and said to Lu Bu that this person was none other than Pang Tong from Xiangyang.

"Mr. Pang Tong is right. I will leave it to you to contact the Shanyue people. The sailors of Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner will look for fighters in the future and practice water warfare with Jiangdong's sailors. When will Only when the Jiangdong navy dare not show their heads can you be regarded as the real Han navy." Lu Bu ordered.

"My lord, there is one more thing. My lord needs to pay attention. I heard that Liu Bei has gone to Yizhou. I'm afraid it will have a bad effect on the week's war." At this time, Xun Yu stood up and asked Lu Bu Said.
