The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 195
Wei Tao is also old in the army, so it is naturally impossible to start after reporting his own situation to the other party.

Wei Tao is not so 'benevolent and righteous'.

As early as when Wei Tao issued a call to attack Yuan Shao, many soldiers had already gathered. Wei Tao led [-] soldiers and horses to the Bohai Sea, and then ordered Zhou Yu to stay in Jizhou to prevent Yuan Jun's strategy of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao".

Naturally, such a big move cannot be concealed from anyone. Bohai is the place where Yuan Shao started his army, and its wealth is not inferior to that of Yecheng. However, the generals guarding this place are useless except for loyalty. As soon as Wei Tao came, he immediately announced The paperwork is urgent.

If this is the case, it is natural to send troops to rescue immediately.

But at this time, Yuan Tan made a fool of himself.

The last time Yuan Tan was easily defeated, although there was no evidence, but Yuan Tan was almost certain that Yuan Shang played a trick.

But Yuan Shang is obviously not afraid of Yuan Tan knowing, as long as Yuan Tan has no evidence, there is nothing he can do about him.

So this time Yuan Tan was also preparing to come back for revenge. Just when Yuan Shang was about to send troops to rescue, Yuan Tan deliberately said that all the soldiers would go straight to the three counties of Changshan, Zhongshan, and Hejian.

"These three counties can not only immediately recover the lost ground and boost the morale of our army, but also cut off the retreat route of the Bingzhou army and let them be trapped to death. Even if Wei Tao escapes by chance, he will definitely be devastated after this blow!"

Yuan Tan's eloquence is very reasonable, but everyone can understand, how can these three counties be captured so easily?
It sounds reasonable, but it is not easy to implement.

But being blocked by Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang couldn't help but slow down, letting Wei Tao break through Bohai first.

Now Yuan Shang is ordered by Yuan Shao to be the shepherd of Jizhou, Wei Tao's move is to reduce his face, and even though there was a union once, there is really no friendship between the two, Yuan Shang can be said to hate Wei Tao.

So Yuan Shang immediately stopped paying attention to Yuan Tan, and came with all his troops.

And Yuan Tan also understood that if he didn't send troops, he would be criticized in the future, so he immediately joined the army to attack Hejian County again.

Yuan Tan thought very well. If he could capture Hejian County, it would not only be regarded as recovering Hejian County, but also cut off Wei Tao's retreat, and even copy Wei Tao from the back. At that time, Wei Tao might just want to retreat None can retreat.

In this way, everyone in the world can understand who is better between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

However, although Yuan Tan's idea was not bad, since Zhou Yu was appointed by Wei Tao to guard Jizhou, he naturally expected what he would do and led the army here as well.

In addition to Zhang Liao who was originally stationed in Hejian, this time Zhao Yun also accompanied him again, and the civil and military generals were not much inferior to Yuan Tan's side.

At this time, Wei Tao, who led the army all the way into Bohai County, also received news of Yuan Shang's assistance.

"Going to negotiate with Youzhou this time has troubled Ziyu, but Youzhou can indeed forgive me, if not, I am afraid that Wuhuan will be sent south because of this, and I may be a sinner for the big man."

Wei Tao looked at Zhuge Jin who had just returned from Youzhou and said, Wei Tao really didn't pay much attention to Yuan Shang.

"Yuan Shang is still powerful, but it's a pity that except for Ju Yi, he has no generals. Even those like Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang were promoted to generals. Gong Jin expected it to be true. If Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang Coming from a change of army, now I still have some troubles facing Liu Guanzhang, but Gongjin, hehe..."

This time Wei Tao did not bring many generals with him, only Yu Jin and Pan Zhang followed.

Yu Jin and Pan Zhang are not weak in force, but they are not comparable to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If they really want to fight Yuan Tan, Wei Tao will really have a hard time dealing with the two Guan Zhang who are now counted under Yuan Tan's subordinates. Handle.

"Wen Ze, Wen Gui, what do you guys think of this Bohai Sea?"

After Wei Tao laughed, he didn't need the two of them to answer. He just changed the topic and turned to the matter of Bohai County.

"This Bohai County is close to the sea, but the rivers and rivers flowing through the county are not comparable to ours. The water force of this kind of river is not strong. If it is used to connect the navy, the navy is no more than a tired soldier, and it is useless at all. But if it is How about using rivers and seas to train naval forces?"

This is the purpose of Wei Tao leading Yu Jin and Pan Zhang here. Wei Tao has never forgotten the establishment of the navy.

It's not that Wei Tao knows the maritime strategy, but Wei Tao knows that if the navy is [-]%, the Han sea troubles can be leveled off. At the same time, the sea is rich in products, and efforts to develop the navy can also solve part of the problem.

As for transportation and the like, as long as there is a great reward, there must be a brave man. Wei Tao believes that such a problem is not a problem.

Pan Zhang was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, and he was considered a rare naval talent in the Bingzhou Army, but it was Yu Jin who really surprised Wei Tao.

Wei Tao never imagined that Yu Jin also volunteered to say that he would also practice naval training, and that he and Pan Zhang were equally indistinguishable in their speech.

Although Yu Jin's lack of practice is mostly based on theory, this is enough to make Wei Tao happy.

But Yu Jin knew that relying on bravery alone, he could not be regarded as the best in the Bingzhou army, so when Wei Tao said that he wanted to establish a navy, he kept his heart and took advantage of Wei Tao's opportunity to station him in Bingzhou. research.

Where Bingzhou is located, there are not many rivers, but it is still better than a person with a heart.

"My lord's idea is very good. Before I came here, I also heard that Sun Ce, the little overlord of the Jiangdong, often told people that his dream was to build a huge navy that would travel across the sea. It is heard that every time he captures a place, he must gather all the local skilled craftsmen for protection, and if anyone invades, he will be severely punished. If he can pacify Jiangdong, he will definitely build a huge navy with his ability."

At this moment, Pan Zhang bowed his hands as soon as he stepped forward, following Wei Tao for a long time, both of them knew that Wei Tao would not sin with words, but sneered at such incompetent people, so at this time Pan Zhang did not hide his clumsiness.

"With the power of the east of the river and the danger of the Yangtze River, even if my lord builds a navy here, he must not compete with it. As the lord said, the north is easy to run horses, and the south is easy to sail. This is unreasonable. If the Israeli army and the Hai Lian, once formed into an army, will definitely not be under Jiangnan, but there are many difficulties in doing so."

"Oh? All you can say."

In Wei Tao's two lives, he was not a person who grew up by rivers and seas, and even in his two lives, he had never really seen the magnificence of the sea.

But Wei Tao knows that even later generations often have shipwrecks, let alone this time, once the ship capsizes, there is almost no chance of survival.

"Promise! I'm afraid it will cost a lot to train troops with this method. I'm afraid that only [-]% or [-]% of the training will be left. Second, if you want to sail the rivers and seas, you need to build large ships. The north is not without such skilled craftsmen, but how can it be as good as the south of the Yangtze River?" Moreover, the cost of building a ship is huge, unless it is supported by Jizhou, otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to do unscrupulous things like Yuan Shao! Third, if the general really wants to build a navy, it is not because we underestimate ourselves, I'm afraid it's impossible for me and Wen Ze alone to do this."

Both Pan Zhang and Yu Jin are arrogant people, and they will not easily say that they are powerless.

But Wei Tao glanced slowly, and found that what Pan Zhang said, Yu Jin didn't mean to object at all. Obviously, from Yu Jin's point of view, it is indeed difficult for only two people to do the job.

"I don't say anything about the other two. I will use Gongjin to preside over the last one at that time. With Gongjin's ability, let it be no problem."

The three things Pan Zhang said are extremely difficult, especially the first one, but Wei Tao understands what he means.

What Pan Zhang meant was simply to train soldiers. Six or seven of the ten sailors would probably be buried in the sea.

This is military training, not marching and fighting. Ordinary military training has some people who can't bear the suffering and become deserters, but unless they are constantly punished and there is insufficient food, there is absolutely no training to kill people.

But this also shows the danger of the matter.

It's just that Wei Tao felt that there was something in Pan Zhang's words at this time. Although Pan Zhang was a bit greedy and contemptible, he could be called courageous and resourceful. He couldn't be unaware of Wei Tao's trust in Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Junshi is both civil and military. I also admire Pan Zhang's ability to command the army. If he used it to command the water army, few people can match it. But the military division is the commander of an army, and he decides the overall situation. I have to wait for the charge. .Moreover, training troops on weekdays requires people who are proficient in water warfare to be feasible."

Pan Zhang was recommended by Zhou Yu who went to Jiangnan in person, so he knew Zhou Yu's ability better than others.

"It makes sense!"

Although the Bingzhou Army is under the command of Wei Tao, the generals are responsible for most of the specific military training matters. Wei Tao can naturally understand what Pan Zhang means.

"It seems that Wen Gui has a solution."

"My lord, the last time I met Zhou's army division in Deyu, I also accompanied the army division in the south of the Yangtze River. But I know that there is a man who is extremely brave and proficient in water warfare. He can cross the Yangtze River as if he is walking on flat ground. But if my lord gets this person, his success in training as a navy army will be almost doubled!"

Pan Zhang moved forward again, and said with his hands clasped. After talking about the Bingzhou Army, Pan Zhang's arrogance gradually subsided. If it was the first time he came, even if he would recommend others, his tone would never be so admirable.

"Oh? If there is such a person? Since that's the case, why doesn't Gongjin help me?"

But even so is enough to arouse Wei Tao's curiosity.

"My lord, at that time the military adviser was already recruiting my lord, but under my lord's rule, there was no waterway, and I was afraid that I would be useless, so I declined."

Pan Zhang immediately argued for Zhou Yu.

"Besides, he has a bad family background. He used to be a thief and was known as the 'Jinfan Bandit'. Now that person is a general under Huang Zu's command under Liu Biao's subordinate in Jingzhou. It's a pity that he can't be used at all!"

"Oh? Who is that person's name?"

Wei Tao was very excited in his heart, and he had already guessed something.

"My lord, that person's name is Gan Ning, and his name is Xingba."
