The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 237 The Iraqi Conspiracy
"Hehe... My original purpose is indeed just for this, and of course it is also to protect my Han sea territory, so as to prevent foreigners from coming from the sea one day, but now I have other ideas."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and told Zhou Yu's plan again.

"It turned out that the general did it for this reason. The water flow in the north is not much, and it is extremely gentle. In fact, fighting each other on the water does not take advantage of it. But this is only for me, a barbarian of a foreign race, how can I know my exquisite fighting skills , it is impossible to fight with my big man in the water, and I will definitely make huge profits at that time!"

As expected, Yi Ji was greatly appreciated, and even couldn't help but stood up and bowed to Wei Tao.

"Ji doesn't dare to say how talented he is, but he also knows that this strategy of the lord will surely wipe out the alien race in the north. I also ask the lord to give Ji a chance to help, so that Ji can also build this feat with the lord."

Yiji is convinced!
"Hehe... I am like a tiger with wings added after acquiring the Iraqi nationality!"

"General, please also accept Wei's worship. If the general does not give up, Wei Yan is willing to lead Yiyang's soldiers to serve the general, and serve the general's pawns before the horse!"

Seeing Yiji like this, Wei Yan couldn't sit still any longer, and after a little hesitation, he immediately got up and bowed to Wei Tao as well.

"Haha... how lucky I am to have both the uncle and the chief editor!"

Wei Tao was naturally very excited when he received two more talented people. During this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, Wei Tao harvested a lot, which surprised Wei Tao himself. Gan Ning, Wei Yan, and Yi Ji, these three people may Being a general or a counselor is enough for Wei Tao to come here.

"My lord, it is not easy to build a navy. If my lord wants to build a navy, I should make a plan in the south of the Yangtze River, and try to find good craftsmen to respond to it."

It has to be said that once a strategist like Yi Ji takes refuge wholeheartedly, he will think of Wei Tao, so he said it immediately.

"Now I'm working in Jingzhou, and I have a bit of face in this Jingzhou. If it's just to recruit craftsmen, it's not difficult, but my lord also knows that Jizhou is far away from here, and it even passes through the territories of several princes. , if the lord acts rashly, I'm afraid he will be detained before arriving in Jizhou, I don't know if the lord has the law?"

"Uncle Ji, when I came here, Xingba once thought of a way for me. If I can directly seek the Jingxiang Navy, then I can save Jizhou's efforts for several years. I thought about it carefully and thought it was feasible. , I don’t know how Uncle Ji saw it?”

Wei Tao didn't want to speak at first, but after thinking about it, he finally spoke.

"Seek to capture the Jingxiang water army?"

Wei Yan shook slightly, and said in surprise, but Yi Ji frowned and remained silent for a while.

The reason why Wei Tao was a little reluctant to talk to each other was because he was worried about what they would think, but now that he had spoken, he was letting them choose.

"Haha... The lord is worthy of being the lord. Grandfather Huang and his son are arrogant and domineering. After occupying Jiangxia, they don't even pay attention to me and other military commanders. Now that Jiangxia's navy is removed, I want to know that there will be more in the future. He Yanmian is based in Jiangxia!"

Wei Tao's reaction was not beyond Wei Tao's expectation. Although he is also from Jingxiang, for a warrior like Wei Yan, he would not have so many scruples.

"My lord, what Gan Xingba said is not bad. If my lord can get the help of the Jingxiang navy, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and it will also make the big man not be oppressed by the alien race sooner."

But at this moment, when he heard what Yi Ji said, Wei Tao immediately lifted his spirits. Being able to say this already shows that Yi Ji really has his heart set on him.

Then I saw Yi Ji hesitated slightly and then said slowly.

"Since the lord wants to seek the Jingxiang navy, how about asking the lord to let me help?"

Then without waiting for Wei Tao to speak, Yi Ji said it directly.

"Uncle Ji is from Jingzhou. You should know that this will weaken Jingzhou's strength, which is even more secondary. You must know that even the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's disaster have never affected Jingzhou's peace. What I do now may be Even if Jing Xiang is disturbed, even I hesitate, so why is Uncle Ji like this?"

Wei Tao smiled wryly, it's not that he doesn't believe in Yiji, but the truth is true, and Yiji is from Jingxiang, if people know his actions, then his reputation in Jingxiang will be lost in the future, and everyone may even revile.

Such a price is not insignificant!
"Hehe... I heard that my lord can give up even fame and wealth in order to protect my great Han country from being disturbed by foreign races. Why can't I follow it? Now that Liu Jingzhou is old, he only knows how to keep himself behind closed doors. The two sons are even more hesitant, not knowing who should be established. If so, the talents of Jingzhou will not be stretched, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will be able to hold the important power in Jingzhou. It would be fine in peacetime, but now the world ……well……"

At the end, Yi Ji let out a long sigh.

"If that's the case, it's all thanks to Mr. Help."

Seeing this, Wei Tao didn't want to talk about it any more, so he said as soon as he bowed his hands.

"Don't worry, my lord, but if you dare to ask my lord to return Jiangxia to do my job, I will go to Xiangyang. First, I can dispatch the master's superb craftsmen from Jingzhou, and second, I can also cover up one or two things for my lord. As long as I miss the opportunity, I want to come here today." It is impossible for Jingzhou's security to catch up with the lord."

Yi Ji is worthy of being a top-notch counselor, and he spoke for Wei Tao in just a few words.

"As for Wen Chang, although Yiyang's military soldiers are brave for Jingzhou, they are for footsteps after all, which is useless at this time, and if Wei Yan goes to Jiangxia again, I'm afraid it will attract attention instead."

"Uncle Ji, don't tell me I have no chance to make meritorious deeds?"

Hearing what Yi Ji said, Wei Yan was immediately a little displeased. He also knew that what he did was not a betrayal of the Lord, but if he had no credit, how would he gain a foothold in the army in the future?
"Hehe... How can the chief of the text be useless. In fact, the Jingzhou navy is quite useless in the hands of Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, and it has become a tool for them to seek personal wealth. As long as the lord can seize Jiangxia's boat and leave quickly, the Jingzhou navy will The army must be too late to catch up! But there is still one thing that the Lord has to guard against, and this is also a meritorious service for Wen Zhang."

"Oh?"

Not only Wei Yan was strange, but Wei Tao was also quite strange.

"My lord wants to go upstream to Jizhou, but the speed of the boat is not fast. The Jingzhou navy may not be able to catch up, but what if someone intercepts it?"

"You mean Sun Ce?"

Wei Tao is not stupid either, he understood when Yi Ji woke up a little bit.

"That's right. Now Sun Ce also attaches great importance to the navy. Although it is not as good as the Jingzhou navy for a while, it is said that he has already built an army under his command. If he comes to intercept the lord, it may not be the navy soldiers who have been summoned by the lord. If it can be compared, wouldn’t the lord be in danger then?”
