Zhao Yu's words are not unreasonable in the eyes of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but the two of them have a strong fighting spirit this time, and when they heard that Zhao Yu seems to have no plans to enter the army in the near future, their hearts are somewhat shocked.However, hearing what Zhao Yu said, the future battles will be mainly for the naval army.With only the strength brought by the two of them, it was not enough to fight against the naval army of the Wu State, and at the moment, I saw Zhang Yun bowing to Zhao Yu and said: "If Your Majesty thinks that with the soldiers and horses brought by the two of us, you cannot compete with the number of the naval army of the Wu State, then there will be a plan to relieve Your Majesty's worries." ”"Oh" After hearing Zhang Yun's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but become interested, and quickly turned his gaze to Zhang Yun, and then asked curiously: "I don't know if General Zhang Yun has any good strategies to relieve my worries." ”Zhang Yun hurriedly bowed his hand to Zhao Yu and said: "Conscription, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, those newly surrendered enemy soldiers will be recruited."
Or recruit a navy in the nearby states and counties, and soon form a strong number of sailors. ”After Zhao Yu heard this, he frowned slightly, and asked Zhang Yun rhetorically: "The conscription of the water army is different from other branches of the army, and some people who are not familiar with the water nature will be forcibly recruited if they are forced.I am afraid that not only will it not kill the enemy army on the water, but it will affect the entire army because of its non-absorbent nature and seasickness. ”Zhang Yun hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty is too worried, if it is in other states and counties, it may be possible."
But this is Jingzhou, although there were no major wars in Jingzhou before, but small wars continued.In addition, Jingzhou is close to the river basin, and the people in its state city can be said to have people who are good at understanding water.If you can recruit all of them, it is definitely the most suitable to serve as a soldier of the navy, and in terms of the current population of Jingzhou, if you increase the recruitment, you can also recruit 10,000 sailors. ”"Actually able to raise 10,000 water troops" After hearing the number Zhang Yun said, Zhao Yu couldn't help but show a trace of curiosity, obviously somewhat skeptical about the number of 10,000 people.Zhang Yun said again: "It is the number of 10,000 people, of course, this is not counting, since Your Majesty entered Jingzhou, he has fought with the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu, and the prisoners surrendered every time he wins.If all these prisoners were used for the construction of sailors, the number of them would be even greater. ”Zhao Yu listened, nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Even if you can raise so many soldiers and horses, but suddenly increase the strength of so many sailors, you still need to rebuild the ship."
Presumably, when the time comes, the construction of ships will be part of the loss, after all, there will be an extra 10,000 sailors.If you don't have enough ships, you won't be able to go out to fight the enemy. ”At this time, Cai Mao, who was in a row, suddenly stood up with a smile on her face, and said to Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this, when we came before, the two of us had considered this issue.At that time, I was worried that there were many soldiers and horses in the army led by His Majesty, although our Jingzhou naval army had fewer troops, but there were many ships. ”"So in order to ensure that the transportation is not affected, when we travel, the two of us brought all the warships with us.Not to mention carrying 10,000 more soldiers and horses, it is more than enough to carry 20,000 more soldiers and horses, and Your Majesty does not need to worry about this. ”After hearing Cai Mao's words, and looking at the smug looks of the two, Zhao Yu smiled speechlessly in his heart.In order not to hit the two, Zhao Yu pretended to look approvingly and said to the two: "Well, okay, you two have a heart."
It's just that this matter is very important, and this matter is not something that can be decided at the moment, and I still need to think about it carefully.The two of you stand down for the time being, after Rong Zhen thinks clearly, I will send someone to inform the two of you.However, in the meantime, the two of you can use this period of time to strengthen the supervision and training of the naval army, so that in the future war, you can exert more powerful combat power of those naval soldiers. ”After hearing this, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun bowed their hands to Zhao Yu and bowed in unison: "Yes, then the two of us will retire first, and I hope Your Majesty will consider it carefully." ”After finishing speaking, the two withdrew from Zhao Yu's big tent one after another.After Cai Mao and Zhang Yun left completely, Zhao Yu looked at Guo Jia and Xu Shu on the side, the three of them were talking before, and Dian Wei had been in charge of personal protection.However, when Cai Mao and Zhang Yun entered the tent to ask for a war report, the two military advisors always kept their mouths shut, and just quietly listened to the conversation between the two and Zhao Yu.Immediately, I only heard Zhao Yu ask the two of them: "Presumably the two of you have heard it very clearly just now, before Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the two of them, wanted to come to ask for battle and go out to attack the enemy."
In addition, I also want me to recruit new recruits to increase the number of naval troops, I don't know what the two military advisors have to say about this" After hearing Zhao Yu's question, Guo Jia and Xu Shu couldn't help but look at each other, Guo Jia nodded slightly at Xu Shu, and motioned Xu Shu to respond to Zhao Yu's question and answer first.Immediately, I saw Xu Shu bow his head at Guo Jia first, and then bowed to Zhao Yu is hand: "Your Majesty, although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun do have some talent in the navy.But on the matter that the two complained about just now, Xu Shu did not agree, but on the contrary, he would oppose it. ”After Xu Shu finished speaking, Zhao Yu did not show much reaction, but was very accustomed to it.Seeing Zhao Yu asked rhetorically at Xu Shu: "Oh, I don't know why Lord Xu Shu wants to oppose the strategy of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun" Xu Shu immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, this time with my Zhao army, I have occupied most of the land in Jingzhou."
Now there are only one or two places left, which are temporarily occupied by enemy troops.Since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, although there have been many small incidents, there have been no major war losses.Jingzhou has been in a state of peace and contentment for many years, until after Liu Biao's death, Cao Cao went south to occupy many places in Jingzhou. ”And Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to occupy the four southern counties of Jingzhou, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong also occupied a part, and from then on, Jiangdong had no stable days.It can be said that the wars launched by Shu and Wu in Jingzhou in the future led to the need to recruit a large number of troops, which greatly reduced the population of Jingzhou. ”"If Your Majesty decides to start a water war with the enemy this time, and recruits troops on a large scale in Jingzhou, I am afraid that Jingzhou will not be able to recover enough stability for more than ten years.Not only that, but with His Majesty's strong recruitment, I am afraid that the people of Jingzhou will have countless panics in their hearts. ”"At that time, Jingzhou, which Your Majesty has taken with great difficulty, will once again fall into crisis, and the peace that has been built with great difficulty will once again fall into the strife of war because of Your Majesty's move.When the time comes, how will the people of Jingzhou think of Your Majesty, and how will they view our Zhao Jun" As Xu Shu's words landed, Zhao Yu also nodded and said: "Well, that's right, I do have this idea, so I didn't agree to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. ”After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu turned his gaze to Guo Jia on the side again and said, "I don't know what Guo Jiake's opinion is" But seeing Guo Jia smiled, he said to Zhao Yu: "The reason why Your Majesty did not immediately agree to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun this time must not be just because of this.Instead, I'm waiting for General Gan Ning to lead my Zhao State's Yinglong Water Army, I don't know if Guo Jia's guess is right" After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "I really am, I can't hide anything, you ghost head."
You're right, the reason why I didn't immediately agree to the two of them was because I believed that with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's soldiers, I couldn't fight Wu State's powerful naval army at all.Therefore, I would rather waste a little more time again, and let the soldiers of our army have a good rest.Second, I also take this as a waiting for Yinglong's naval army, believing that as long as our army's naval army comes, no matter how strong Wu's naval army is, it is not our opponent. ”Guo Jia nodded, and said in agreement with Zhao Yu's statement: "Your Majesty's idea is indeed very correct, although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have the ability to build a naval army, they are not powerful naval generals.The soldiers and horses under his command are simply not enough to compete with the naval army of Wu State, and these naval troops have not experienced some major wars at all.So at best, they are just some new sailors, but they really have no substantial combat effectiveness, and can only serve as their numbers. ”"Even if Your Majesty really recruits troops in Jingzhou, they are all weak soldiers left over from the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu, let alone let them go to the battlefield.I'm afraid that even if these people pick up the weapons in their hands, it will be difficult for them to gain a firm foothold on the battlefield.Moreover, a strong army does not lie in the number of soldiers, but in the fact that the soldiers are good and have enough food, and these soldiers and horses must not be used in the regular army of our army.At that time, let alone help these people, I am afraid that it will be a blessing not to be able to drag my army back, so Guo Jia also agrees that Your Majesty should not rush into the army, it is best to wait for General Gan Ning and Lord Jia Xu to lead the Ying Longshui army to come. ”After the conversation of several people, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of something.It's just that before the incident happened, Zhao Yu was not sure whether the whole thing would go according to the original state of affairs in history in the future.After all, he is not Cao Cao, and he will never make the mistake of the Battle of Chibi in history.However, there is something that I don't know, that is, whether Zhou Yu and Huang Gai will use the same tactics against them as they did with Cao Cao.If Zhou Yu and Huang Gai really treated themselves like that, I don't know if there is a way for them to crack the fire attack of the two.Therefore, without absolute certainty, he would never send troops to fight with the Wu State Naval Army
