Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 580 Thinking

After Xun Yu left, Lu Yan was quietly thinking about a series of things including the shipyard.

Under the complicated thoughts, Lu Yan's thinking also seemed a little confused.

"Today's general prison, more than 500 craftsmen with experience in shipbuilding have been recruited; plus the 700 shipbuilders that Xun Yu is about to send, the total number has reached more than [-]."

"You can recruit some more. The number of people should be 2000 first. I think it should be enough now. Then the shipyard can start construction now."

"Just... where should this shipyard be built?"

"Historically, Cao Cao himself did not have a navy.

At that time, Liu Biao was ill, and the second Liu met with Xinli. Cao Cao took the opportunity to send his troops south to take Jingzhou.

Liu Bei lost, abandoned Xinye and fled to Jiangxia.

The new lord of Jingzhou, Liu Cong, surrendered without a fight, and surrendered Jingzhou and 20 sailors to Cao Cao.

Boss Cao occupied Jingzhou, to be precise, most of the northern part of Jingzhou, and then he brought the Jingzhou navy into Dongting Lake to practice the navy. "Lu Yan was sorting out and writing materials while recalling.

Therefore, Cao Cao himself did not build ships or navy. He got the opportunity to take Jingzhou and annex Jingzhou's navy.

With the 20 navy in Jingzhou, Cao Cao had the idea of ​​fighting Jiangdong Sun Quan.

But later, Lao Cao fell into Zhou Yu's estrangement scheme in a moment of carelessness, and beheaded Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, the commander of the Jingzhou navy; A big fire burned it out.

It is naturally impossible for Lu Yan to watch such a major mistake happen again, so forming a navy of his own is an imperative measure.

There are many reasons for Lao Cao's defeat in Chibi, one of which is also the most important is that arrogant soldiers are bound to lose.

After defeating Yuan Shao and annexing the four states of Hebei, Cao Cao has become the largest prince in the world.

At that time, Cao's group, except for a few advisers who were still sober, most people including Cao Cao believed that
As long as Cao Jun goes south, both Liu Biao and Sun Quan are nothing more than chickens and dogs.As for Liu Bei, who had less than [-] soldiers and would only shut Zhang Zhao, Cao Cao didn't pay attention at all.

Second, Cao Cao didn't have a navy that really belonged to him. When he was fighting with the Jiangdong navy, he was led by the nose by Zhou Yu.

Later, the navy was burned out, and Lao Cao had no hope of winning the battle.

Incidentally, Cao Cao did laugh on the way to escape, but not three times, but once;
And after he laughed, there was indeed an ambush, but it was Liu Bei who frightened him by lighting a fire in the rear. In the end, Cao Cao escaped from Huarong Road, and there was no Guan Yu on Huarong Road.

Finally, there is one more point. The soldiers in Cao Cao's own army are all from the north. After they came to the south, they refused to accept the climate and were even infected with the plague.

Under the influence of multiple factors, Cao Cao also knew that he could not beat the Sun Liu coalition army. He had long thought of retreating, so the coalition army easily broke through the camp.

If you want to pacify Jingzhou and Jiangdong, navy is indispensable.

Many thoughts flashed through Lu Yan's mind, and the thoughts in Lu Yan's heart became more and more firm: "No matter what, you still have to have an elite navy of your own."

"Let's forget about buildings and boats, they are flashy, you can only look at them."

"And the three-masted warship is an armed ship that has crossed the sea for more than two hundred years and only appeared in the seventeenth century."

The three-masted warship has a huge hull and is extremely fast!It is also equipped with hundreds of various artillery pieces and carries hundreds of thousands of people. It is a well-deserved overlord in the sea.Until the appearance of the Ironclad Ship, it has always existed like a king!
In history, on the surface, Liu Biao and Liu Bei joined forces to fight against Cao Cao, forming a two-on-one situation.However, in essence, Liu Bei was based in Xinye or "more and more heroes in Jingzhou returned to their ancestors", which caused Liu Biao to have some suspicions about Liu Bei, "Yin Yuzhi".

The suspicion between the two Lius created favorable conditions for Cao Cao to send troops. In addition, Liu Biao was seriously ill later, and Cao Cao immediately couldn't wait to go south to attack Jingzhou.

The suspicion between the two Lius, Liu Biao's serious illness, and the incompetence of the new owner Liu Cong created a golden opportunity for Cao Cao.

Later, Liu Bei knew that the small pool in Xinye City was shallow and unable to resist Cao Cao's army, so he chose to run away.

Once Xinye is lost, the gate of Jingzhou is opened.

In addition to Liu Biao's death from illness, Liu Cong and the local gentry in Jingzhou were afraid of the strength of Cao Jun.

So under the persuasion of Cai Mao and others, Liu Cong surrendered without a fight, and handed over the huge territory of Jingzhou and 20 navy to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao successfully entered Jingzhou, he sent tiger and leopard riders to chase Liu Bei.The latter did not expect that Liu Cong would not resist.Because of this time difference, Liu Bei's main force was overtaken by tiger and leopard cavalry near Changbanpo, and was finally beaten to pieces.

But now Liu Biao is still alive and well, and Liu Bei is currently serving as the prefect of Chenliu County, so he can't play tricks with Liu Biao.

The current Jingzhou is more united and more difficult to be broken by external forces.If Cao Cao marches into Jingzhou now, he may be hit head-on by Liu Biao's navy when he returns.

"There is Gan Ning in the command of the navy, but it is not easy to recruit the navy"

"But it should be possible for Gan Ning to use his influence and let them go to the north and south to recruit a batch of ready-made ones?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yan felt that this method was feasible.

There are many water thieves on the Yangtze River. Gan Ning used to be the king of the Yangtze River water thieves. Not to mention supernatural, masonry, and platinum, it shouldn't be a problem to recruit some bronze, silver, and gold, right?With strict training at that time, the rank will rise sooner or later.

As soon as he thought about it, he had to do it, so Lu Yan shouted at the top of his voice, "Come on!"

"Brother, what are your orders?" The one who responded to Lu Yan's call was changed from Chen Dao to Lu Ji.

Chen Dao and Lu Xun successfully entered the Imperial College during the spring recruitment in April this year.

After Zhuge Liang left, the Tai Academy, which had been ruled by Sima Yi for nearly three years, finally had someone who could shake his influence.

Speaking of Sima Yi, here is why he has been staying at the Tai Academy.

In fact, Sima Yi has already surpassed the level of graduation, but he has been reluctant to graduate and go out to practice.

On the surface, he said that he was not good at learning, but in fact, there was more of an emotion called "fear" in his heart.

Back then, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Yang Xiu and the first batch of gifted students didn't have some relationship with Lu Yan?Because Lu Yan has always liked to promote talents, capable people are very close to him, and Lu Yan is also willing to give them advice and connections.

But Sima Yi was never met by Lu Yanzhao, and he asked to see him several times, but was rejected for various reasons.

Sima Yi, who was always treacherous and cunning, couldn't see that he was disliked by Lu Yan?

Sima Yi thought it was because his family was too powerful that Lu Yan disliked him.

It's just that no matter how much Sima Yi thinks hard, he can't know the real reason why he was "disliked" by Lu Yan
To be precise, Lu Yan didn't "dislike" Sima Yi; Lu Yan had more of a cautious approach to Sima Yi.
