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 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 hard Sima Yi thinks, 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.
Chapter 4 Commander of the Navy, I, Gan Ning, must handle it
Lu Ji turned 14 years old this year, and he has already turned out to be a good-looking talent, full of temperament.
In history, Lu Ji became famous at a young age. Although he was only in his teens, his knowledge had already surpassed many people who were older than him. He was as famous as Gu Yong's eldest son Gu Shao, and even better than Lu Xun, Zhang Dun, Bu Jing and others.It's a pity that Lu Jiying died young. When he died, he was only 32 years old.
On the collection of classics and history, Lu Xun is not as good as Lu Ji; in the art of war, Lu Ji is much worse than Lu Xun.The two brothers have their own strengths, but they also complement each other.
Looking at Lu Ji, whose body was slightly thin, Lu Yan asked with a smile, "How is the practice of Wu Qin Xi today?"
"I'm already very proficient, and finishing a set is much faster than before!"
"Don't just travel fast...Wu Qin Xi is a secret technique that Hua Lao's genius doctor keeps fit and prolongs life! You have to treat it with more heart."
Lu Ji said obediently and respectfully: "I know, I will practice hard every day."
Lu Yan nodded and said, "Go and send someone to call Gan Xingba, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."
"Okay! I'll go now!" Lu Jin took the order, turned around and ran away after saluting.
"What a young man!" Looking at Lu Ji who ran out of Pidianpidian, Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "There are two brothers, Lu Xun and Lu Ji, in the Lu family in Jiangdong, as long as they don't do anything themselves Moth, the future of the Lu family is destined to be bright!"
......
Gan Ning was in the barracks of the Wolf Cavalry Camp, training the [-] new recruits assigned to him by Lu Lingqi.
"Pay attention, keep the formation, start~~ let's go!"
"One two one!"
"One two one!"
"one two three four!"
"One, two, three~~~four!"
The atmosphere in the barracks was in full swing.
The current situation of Cao Jun is very good, and all the recruits hold their heads high, train hard, and their morale is extremely high.
Just as the training was in full swing, a soldier strode up to Gan Ning and reported, "Report, General Gan! There are people from General Hussar's Mansion outside the camp who want to see you!"
"Mister looking for me?" Gan Ning married Zhao Xue, and even called Lu Yan as Zhao Xuehua.
Lu Yan suddenly sent someone to look for him at this time, there must be something urgent.
Gan Ning didn't dare to delay, he recruited his deputy to train the recruits instead, and he followed the soldiers to the outside of the camp.
The person who came was a regular handyman in General Hussar's Mansion. Although he was only a temporary worker, he was somewhat "respectable" because he had worked in General Hussars's mansion for many years.
"Old Zhao, long time no see!" Gan Ning appeared on horseback at the gate of the camp, and greeted him from a distance.
They were old acquaintances, and Lao Zhao also bowed and saluted from a long distance, and shouted: "General Gan, Lu Hussar has called you to discuss something urgent."
"Did you say anything, sir?"
"I didn't say anything, I just told you to see him as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'm leaving now!"
.....
On the way to Chenliucheng, Gan Ning got up with a faint premonition.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Cao's next goal is either Jingzhou or Jiangdong.
Looking at the generals of Cao Jun, Gan Ning is the only one who is familiar with water and proficient in water warfare.At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly summoned him urgently, and Gan Ning naturally thought about the navy.
"Sir, Brother Gan is here!" Lu Ji's voice sounded outside the study.
"Come in, the door is unlocked!"
After Lu Yan responded, Gan Ning rubbed Lu Ji's head, opened the door and walked in.
"Crench!"
After entering, Gan Ning closed the study door casually.
He walked up to three meters in front of Lu Yan, clasped his fists in salute, and said, "I've seen you sir!"
Lu Yan put down the brush in his hand, raised his head to look at the radiant Gan Ning, and said with a smile, "Xingba is really in good spirits recently! It seems that you young couple are not too happy!"
"Sir, you're joking... I've been careful in my life, I'm afraid that if Xiaoxue gets upset, Big Brother Zhao will kill you..."
"Hahaha!" Lu Yan naturally knew that Gan Ning was joking, but he still laughed out loud in cooperation.
After exchanging greetings, the smile on Lu Yan's face faded, and he asked, "You should have guessed why I asked you to come here, right?"
Although it felt like it was close to each other, Gan Ning couldn't help but asked a little nervously, "Is it about the establishment of a navy?"
"That's right! You, Gan Xingba, live up to the reputation of wisdom and courage!"
Although he was mentally prepared, Gan Ning couldn't help being excited when the matter was confirmed, "Sir, I have an assignment, and I will die at the end!"
"It's just letting you be a naval commander, it's not as serious as ten thousand deaths." Lu Yan said lightly, pointed to the chair next to the table, and said, "Sit down and we'll talk."
Lu Yan didn't care what he said, but Gan Ning was stunned, "Ah! Commander of the Navy? That's all??!"
You know, although Cao Cao doesn't have a serious navy yet, but to deal with the Jingzhou and Jiangdong navy, the number must not be small, right?
I am afraid that the opponents have at least 30 sailors in total. It is not too much to get 20, right?
Now Gan Ning has only 5000 people under his command, and there are [-] recruits... Now he has changed from a general to a naval commander. Gan Ning couldn't help but muttered to himself: "The promotion is a bit steep. ah!"
Lu Yan sorted out the materials and drawings on the table, and asked teasingly, "Why, do you think you can't handle it?"
Gan Ning was shocked, recovered his senses, immediately slapped the table and stood up, loudly assured: "It will be done! It must be done!"
"That's it." Lu Yan glanced at the excited Gan Ning, and said, "You'd better sit down and talk... By the way, next time, don't hit the table so hard, my table won't stand up to you Two slaps."
"Eh..." Gan Ning lowered his head, stretched out his hand to gently caress the tabletop that had been slapped by himself, and sat down again in embarrassment.
After sitting down for a while, Gan Ning couldn't hold back his restless heart, and asked Lu Yan, "Sir, how many people are you going to give me?"
Lu Yan thought for a while and replied, "I don't know either."
"..." Gan Ning didn't know what to do next.
But soon, Lu Yan said again: "Mr. Cao estimates that he can give you about [-] soldiers... But you also know that people in the Central Plains and the North are not good at water, so how long will it take to form a combat force on the water? But something is not easy to say."
Gan Ning frowned slightly, and murmured, "This is indeed a problem."
Seeing this, Lu Yan said again: "So I have a suggestion... You must have met many heroes on the water when you traveled across the Yangtze River... If you can recruit them, you can form the most basic framework of your navy. .
With the backbone framework of the navy, it is undoubtedly much easier to train the navy.What do you think?
Of course, this is just a suggestion from me..."
Gan Ning raised his head, stared at Lu Yan with shining eyes, and confirmed again: "Is the imperial court willing to accept water thieves?"
"The Black Mountain Yellow Turban can be recruited and accepted, why can't the little water thief abandon the dark and turn to the bright?"
"That's great!" Gan Ning immediately grinned and said, "Sir, I will explain my intention to Xiaoxue tonight, and I will leave for the Yangtze River tomorrow!"
"Go early and come back early, don't let the beauty miss you for too long."
"The last will be saved!"
Chapter 411 Dahan Navy General Administration
After many discussions, Lu Yan decided to build the shipyard by the Yellow River.
And Chenliu City is close to the Yellow River, so the shipyard can be built in Chenliu County nearby.
Lu Yan also really wanted to build the shipyard directly on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River or on the Han River. As soon as the ship was ready, he could go south to fight Liu Biao and Sun Quan.
But the problem is, most people Sun Quan and Liu Biao will not agree...
After all, their navy is not a decoration, maybe Lu Yan's shipyard has just started a embryo, and the navy of the two of them has already come over with a warship and burned him up.
Neither Cao Cao nor Lu Yan had any ships, let alone a decent navy, so there was no way to go to the river to intercept Liu Biao or Sun Quan's navy.If the shipyard is really built on these two big rivers, it can only be used to send firewood to others in the end.
Of course, some people may say that you can learn from Wang Jun in the Western Jin Dynasty, go to Yizhou upstream to build ships and train the navy, and then go downstream to take Jingzhou and Jiangdong.However, judging from the current situation, the difficulty of winning Shu is probably not much lower than crossing the Yangtze River.
As long as the three-masted battleship is formed, the navy can sail from the Yellow River into the Bohai Sea, and then enter the Yangtze River along the coast, and go upstream!
After the fleet enters the Yangtze River, whether to destroy Jiangdong or Jingzhou first will depend on the situation at the time.
The reason why many people disapprove of putting the shipyard in the Yellow River is because the warships in ancient times could not withstand the wind and waves of the sea, and they could not travel thousands of miles at sea.But with three-masted warships, oceangoing is not a problem, let alone offshore sailing.
After comprehensive consideration, Lu Yan finally resisted all opinions and chose the address of the shipyard along the Yellow River in Chenliu County.
In the seventh year of Jian'an, at the end of June.
Many people in Chenliu City were surprised to find that overnight, there was a brand new organization next to the Sheriff's Mansion in Chenliu County.
There are six vigorous characters engraved on the door plaque of the institution: "Dahan Navy General Administration!"
Many people were extremely curious about this, and those who cared about it passed the news back to their masters.
After the establishment of the General Administration of the Navy, the General Administration of the Navy appointed a chief governor to be in charge of all the military affairs of the navy...and the chief commander of the navy was concurrently held by Lu Yan.
Under the Great Governor, there is also a Navy Commander, whose main responsibility is to command the operations of the navy army... However, it is still vacant for the time being, and he can take up the post immediately after Gan Ning returns.
The general supervisor has already recruited [-] craftsmen with experience in shipbuilding, plus the [-] sent by Xun Yu, it just makes up an integer of [-].
Since most of these shipwrights are from the south, in order to allow these shipwrights who are far away from their hometown to take root in Chenliu with peace of mind in the future, Lu Yan specially held a reception banquet in the residential area around Jiang Zuo Prison for these shipwrights Had a sumptuous meal together.
At the banquet, Lu Yan clearly told the shipwrights that this area is all the families of the craftsmen, if they wish, they can also bring their families here to settle down.
Jiang Zuojian will open up a special area for their family members to build houses. In the future, they will live together, not only to take care of each other, but also to save their families from the pain of lovesickness.
Moreover, Lu Yan also promised that no matter whether the warship on the blueprint is built or not, the wages of the shipwrights will be the same as the wages of ordinary craftsmen who will be supervisors.
But if it is built, the wages of the shipwrights will immediately increase by [-]%; and at the end of the year, there will be a very considerable year-end bonus!
