Chapter 113 Will be calculated
This time, He Chen thought too much. The idea of this serial ship was really figured out by Ma Teng himself. It was really because of the seasickness of his subordinates, and He Chen made it clear that he wanted to calm down the south of the Yangtze River in a short time. In this case, Ma Teng thought about it day and night, and finally came up with this idea.
Seeing that He Chen adopted his opinion, Ma Teng said goodbye happily and went back to prepare for everything.
After Ma Teng left, Guo Jiacai said with a serious face, "Master, use iron locks to connect the warships. Although it can avoid the suffering of soldiers' bumps and seasickness, there is something that must be prevented. In case it is not handled well, it will harm the three armies."
He Chen smiled faintly and said, "What Fengxiao said is to prevent fire?"
Guo Jia paused slightly, and his expression immediately relaxed and said, "It turns out that my subordinates are too worried."
He Chen said with a strange smile, "It's July now, and it's blowing the south wind. Do they want to set fire to their warships? Or did Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang want to borrow the east wind from God? Even if they really borrow the east wind, I still have a lot of ways to let them lift stones and hit themselves.
Guo Jia subconsciously thought of He Chen's thorough means. Thunder and lightning, waves, fire and tornadoes come and go. Even if Sun Jianfeng comes to the fire, it is estimated that he is a clown who can't afford to set off a lot of wind and waves. Thinking of this time, Guo Jia couldn't help sighing and shaking his head and saying, "With the master's ability, one person slaughters a city. There is no need for so many soldiers to travel long distances to the south. It's really a waste of people and money."
He Chen was teased by Guo Jiayi and almost stopped directly. He couldn't laugh or cry. But then again, I really haven't done this. When will I take time to attack the city? It's fun to think about it.
"Yes, Wen He, how are you preparing what you want to prepare?" He Chen suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said to Jia Xu, who had not spoken from beginning to end.
"It's almost to Luoyang. Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that we can reach the front line after ten years. And his subordinates have also mobilized Jingzhou and Yuzhou officials to speed up their time to collect supplies and arrive with the supply brigade. Jia Xu answered He Chen's question meticulously. Although he still can't figure out the reason, he didn't ask one more question. This is also the most basic life-saving skill as a subordinate. If you don't want to know, you'd better not ask more questions.
On the contrary, Guo Jia did not have this taboo. He was curious and said, "Regarding this matter, I am very surprised why the lord asked Wen He to collect so many coats for the winter. This is the south of the Yangtze River, and now it is only midsummer in July. When the sun is the most poisonous, does the lord want to wave his hand and turn the sunny summer in the south of the Yangtze River into an icy and snowy winter in the north? After saying this, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing there. Obviously, she felt that what she said was a little funny.
He Chen praised it in his heart. He was really a genius. Even if he was confused, he could be confused, but he didn't want to talk about this matter in detail for the time being.
"Report..., Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, please see me." At this moment, a guard came in to report.
"Let them in."
When they were young, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were armored and hurried in. After standing down, they made a salute together, and then sang, "I've seen the general. I don't know what the general ordered when he urgently summoned his subordinates to come here?"
He Chen sat down again. His smile had been withdrawn, and his expression was not angry and powerful. He was very different from Guo Jia and others just now. He said lightly, "The two have been training the water army in Wulin Shuizhai for almost half a decade. I don't know what's going on? When will our army be able to perform its due combat effectiveness on the ship normally?
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were frightened by He Chen's temperament. They were both a little frightened and looked at each other. Cai Mao bravely said, "If the navy wants to form a combat effectiveness, it is difficult to say that it will be elite in three or five years. There are many strong soldiers in Hebei. After half a decade, he can walk normally on the boat without getting seasick, but if he wants to exert his normal strength, I'm afraid it will take at least half a year.
"Humph, half a year? Where is there so much time? Isn't it necessary for the general to stop the army and return to the court first? He Chen's face came down, and everyone felt that General He was extremely unhappy now.
Cai Mao shivered and was scared into a cold sweat and said, "General, please calm down your anger. Please give your subordinates three months. At that time, you will definitely train a group of elite navy to come out."
He Chen's face was stiff, his eyes flashed, and his mouth said coldly, "I can't wait for three months. Besides, as you just said, there is no elite navy in three or five years. You can train for three months, and you can imagine the combat effectiveness. Not to mention the Jiangdong Army, even your Jingzhou Water Army can pick ten at a time, without any pressure.
"The general calms down his anger..." The two of them looked at each other and shouted bitterness in their hearts. Did He Chen come to find fault? Do you want to settle the old account with yourself again? Cai Mao was very clever. He quickly said, "In fact, I have a way, but I'm afraid that the general will think that my subordinates have any special ideas..."
"Oh? Do you have a way? Tell me about it." He Chen threatened a few times, and when he saw that the goal was almost reached, his voice slowed down.
"When Liu Biao surrendered to the general, he had 80,000 Jingzhou soldiers. Although nearly 20,000 were taken away by Huo Jun and Wang Wei, there were still 50,000 to 60,000 horses in Jiangling City. If the general believes that these 50,000 horses can be reorganized and trained a little, they can become a master on the water, and their combat effectiveness will never be inferior to Sun Jian's elite.
He Chen praised in his heart that Cai Mao was not so stupid. It's a little bit transparent, and I also know that this can be used. Gan Ning was not here, and Quanrou secretly attacked the base camp behind Jiangdong. In this case, there are few generals on the water that can be used. He Chen has long wanted to give these 50,000 horses to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but he didn't want to be so cheap to them, so he has this time.
"I want to see the achievements, not the one who can brag." On the surface, He Chen was still extremely harsh.
"General, don't worry, these 50,000 horses are handed over to their subordinates for reorganization and training. If they don't practice anything after half a month, Cai Mao is willing to sacrifice his head to the case." Speaking of his old job, Cai Mao was full of confidence and almost issued a military order.
He Chen finally smiled and praised, "Since Dekui said so, I will believe you this time. After half a month, it depends on your results. If it is true as you said, I will immediately make you the water capital, and all the water troops on both sides of the Yangtze River will be led by you and Zhang Yun.
"No." Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were blessed by misfortune. They were overjoyed and hurriedly answered loudly.
"Then you take the general's token, 50,000 Jingzhou navy will be under your jurisdiction, and you will start the water consolidation immediately. After half a decade, he began to attack Sun Jian with all his strength.
"No." The two generals held their heads high, took the tokens with enthusiasm, and strode away.
Until the two disappeared in their eyes, Guo Jia said happily, "The master's good means, a few words, let Cai Mao and Zhang Yun work hard. Only in their hands can the Jingzhou navy play the most powerful combat effectiveness."
"Yes, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and the 50,000 soldiers are all from Jingzhou after all. Let them command. It is the good steel that is used on the blade. The formation, tactics and water formation of the Jingzhou navy have been promoted by these two people for more than ten years. If it were another general to command, on the one hand, it is difficult to guarantee the life of the soldiers and soldiers, and on the other hand, it is not familiar with their water command system, and it will take some time to run in. He Chen also said with some complacency.
At this time, the doorman informed Feng Xi to see him.
"Feng Xi? Didn't he patrol the river today? Is something going on?" Guo Jia was confused and said.
"Let him come in and you will know."
When he was young, Feng Xi, wearing white chain armor, walked out of the camp in a sweat.
"Report to the lord, now when my subordinates are on duty, I caught a annihron on the surface of the river. This Jianxi claimed to be Jiangdong Huang Gai's confidant. Because he was dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's arbitrary dictatorship, he was directly admonished several times. As a result, he was beaten 40 boards and bombarded out of the barracks. Therefore, I sent someone to discuss it and wanted to surrender to our army. Feng Xi is now one of He Chen's cronies. This guy's sister, Feng Yun, is full of national color and charming. Now she has been accepted as a concubine by He Chen. Of course, Feng Xi was also rising. In addition, this person did have some ability, so he was also entrusted with He Chen's important task. He served as the general of Youwei Zhonglang and commanded a group of people.
I said, I won't really sing this, will I? Has Huang Gai's bitter meat plan come out? So is Kan Ze going to make a fraudulent surrender next? On the contrary, He Chen was a little expectant in his heart and said with a smile, "Is this annihire called Kan Ze?"
"The Lord's divine calculation, this person is really called Kan Ze." Feng Xi admired the five-body tunnel.
"Who is Kan Ze?" Guo Jia asked puzzledly.
It is no wonder that Guo Fengxiao. Although Kan Ze was in high in power during the period of the State of Wu, it was not long before he first appeared at this time. His reputation was not obvious, and there were few people who knew it. His fame was made in the Battle of Red Cliff. After Sun Quan became emperor, Kan Ze was promoted as a minister. In the Jiahe period, he was a middle scholar and a servant. When he arrived in Chiwu, he was the crown prince Taifu. After his death, Sun Quan once said that he did not eat because of regret. Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes that Kan Ze was the first to see through Zhou Yu's bitter trick to beat Huang Gai, and then volunteered to give a fraudulent surrender to Cao Yan. After Cao Yan saw through it, he still did not change his face and laughed. His witty words made Cao Yan believe that the fraudulent surrender book was a key figure in the bitter surrender. Later, when Liu Bei personally conquered Eastern Wu, he recommended Lu Xun to Sun Quan as the governor, indirectly saving the fate of Eastern Wu.
"This guy is a talented person. He is very academically researched, sharp-eyed, quick-witted and resourceful. This man came to help Huang Gai with the fraudulent surrender of books. He Chen said coldly.
"So that's it. The subordinates cut him directly." Feng Xi felt that he had been cheated, and his face turned red and said indignantly.
"That's not necessary. Let him in. I'm going to make a plan."
