Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 669 Qingzhou Navy
In the seventh year of Jian'an (202 AD), at the beginning of the new year, Liu Bei in Shuzhong couldn't wait to wreak havoc in Guanzhong.

Li Shimin in Guanzhong was tired of coping. Although Li Yuan was imprisoned in the palace, it was precisely because of this that he dared not become king.

After all, the world would be in such chaos without being king, and people all over Guanzhong were in panic, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and persisted.

But the Central Plains is relatively peaceful. It seems that all the troops have been mobilized, but relatively speaking, there is still war in Huainan, and the rest are just deterrents.

Yecheng!

Lu Bu didn't make much movement, and he looked like he was recuperating. Even though Hangu Pass had been captured, he stopped moving forward, sitting and watching the chaos in the pass.

"Your Majesty, last year Yan and Xu Erzhou had a lot of harvest."

"That's right, especially when King Shengming lowered the taxes in the Central Plains, the common people are all happy."

"The Mongols frequently invaded the Manchus on the Dawang Grassland. The Turks have already allied with the Manchus. The barbarians in the grasslands must guard against it."

The civil and military officials in the main hall continued to report information from various places in the new year. Lu Bu smiled and nodded appreciatively after hearing this.

"That's right. All regions are developing relatively smoothly, especially the Central Plains, which is in urgent need of recovery. You all have contributed a lot."

Lu Bu's compliment made all the officials clapped their hands and shouted in unison: "You are all kings and saints!"

haha~
It was rare for their king to show a gratified smile, and all the officials were also smiling. However, after Lu Bu pondered for a moment, he still said in a concentrated voice: "Order the border gates to keep an eye on the grassland's movements, and don't be negligent."

promise!
"By the way, is there any movement from Ran Min in Hetao Land?"

It seems that Lu Bu is asking about Ran Min, but Guo Jia, as a confidant, knows the meaning, and cups his hands with a smile: "My lord, Ran Min in Hetao has [-] soldiers. Cao Mengde is now trusted by his left and right hands, but the Mongolian power The big picture is worrisome.”

After hearing Guo Jia's reply, Lu Bu sighed softly, "Keep close contact with Hetao, and the soldiers of the three armies can exchange their armor for livestock."

promise!
All the officials seemed to see that Lu Bu was in a good mood today, but Tian Feng came out with a sullen face and said in a low voice: "My lord, the world urgently needs to recuperate. Is there too much [-] sailors in Qingzhou?"

These words echoed in the main hall, but all the officials started talking about it, after all, the navy was a bit of a waste for them.

On the other hand, Lu Bu chuckled, and waved his hands to reassure the officials, "Can you guarantee that the overseas Japanese kingdoms will not harass our great Han territory?"

A question made all the officials shut their mouths, but they still thought that [-] sailors were too much, and they might as well train more cavalry or infantry.

Lu Bu smiled without saying a word, and gently revealed the matter, but Zhou Yu in Qingzhou, who was thousands of miles away, respectfully accepted the Wang Ling from Yecheng in the navy stronghold.

After reading it carefully, Zhou Yu summoned all the generals of the navy to gather together.

"Are all the sailors trained to fight?"

All the generals in the tent showed bitter expressions, and some of them shook their heads and sighed: "It's not that we don't work hard, general, but how can we train an elite navy with this little time?"

"That is, although our army recruits soldiers with good water skills, none of them have participated in a war after all."

The generals talked endlessly, but one thing is certain is that the strength of the navy is not yet elite.

This is still a navy with [-] veterans, and it is also the soldiers and horses who were familiar with water from Liangshan who were dispatched from the lieutenant general to have the current combat effectiveness.

Seeing the generals shaking their heads and sighing, Zhou Yu laughed lightly. He knew the generals' worries. After all, there were water battles in the Central Plains, which meant that their group of sailors were almost all excluded.

And it is also related to their meritorious deeds. Almost all the generals who came to the water village were full of helplessness. Seeing others make great achievements, they could only practice in the water village.

"Hehe~ You don't have to worry, our navy will be tempered after the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, and it will be the world's elite navy in the future."

Seeing Zhou Yu's confident smile, all the generals looked confused, one of them clasped his fists and asked hesitantly, "What do you mean, General?"

All the generals scratched their heads in bewilderment, their big eyes showing a bewildered look.

Finally, Zhou Yu couldn't help smiling, and pointed at the chart behind him, "Do you know this place?"

After looking at the islands on the map, some of the generals didn't understand, but there were also smart people who realized it all at once.

"Does the general want it?"

Although they thought of something, without Wang Ling they would not have dared to act privately, so they couldn't help asking curiously.

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded without saying a word, "Since the Wa country dares to harass our army's coastal areas, can't our Han navy not do it?"

The smile gradually dissipated, Zhou Yu's face became serious, and he looked at the generals and said in a deep voice: "When the [-] sailors will go to battle, it depends on your achievements."

"Haha~ Don't worry, general, the general will definitely train these bastards well."

haha~
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the tent, and Zhou Yu also pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile, "Everyone should be cautious, you must know that this time is not unusual."

promise!
After the generals dispersed, only a few confidantes remained in the navy tent, namely Cai Mao, the deputy commander of the navy, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, the generals of the navy.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are Zhou Yu's confidantes, while Cai Mao is after Jingzhou was broken. Liu Bian took the lead in the operation of the Cai family. Cai Mao ran out early and took refuge under Lu Bu's command.

To be honest with Cai Mao, history has belittled this person's ability. You must know that Jingzhou and Jiangdong have been fighting all the time, and the navy is among them.

In history, the commander of the navy who can carry Soochow is Cai Mao. This person's command of the navy is definitely not weak, even only under Zhou Yu at the peak of history.

Seeing that all the confidant generals were left behind, Zhou Yu bowed his hands to Cai Mao politely, with a look of admiration in his eyes, "General Cai, hurry up."

Cai Mao waved his hands gratefully. Although Zhou Yu was young, he was the son-in-law of King Wu, and he was one of the generals who joined Lu Bu to make contributions early on.

He didn't dare to make mistakes, and even kept a low profile after coming to the water army Dazhai. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai even clasped their fists together and knelt on one side facing them.

"If you conquer Japan, I wonder if General Cai thinks it can be fought?"

Zhou Yu is very humble, and he respects his lieutenant Cai Mao from the bottom of his heart. After all, history is different. Zhou Yu's combat experience in commanding the navy is pitiful now.

Cai Mao, the long-time commander of the navy, did not dare to take it too seriously, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly.

"The general is not to be careful, but if you want to conquer the Japanese country, our army's [-] sailors are not qualified at all. If you harass, you still have a chance."

Hehe~ Looking at Cai Mao's carelessness, how could Zhou Yu not know that little carelessness, and took out the Wang Ling from Yecheng from his bosom with a smile.
