Three days later, Liu Xie led the army to the expedition and went straight to Chaisang by water.
The warships of the imperial court are built according to the drawings sent back by Gan Ning, although they are not as large as the navy's sea ships, but in terms of structure, they are keel warships with high stability, even if they are not accustomed to water warfare, as long as they do not fall into the water, there will be no large-scale seasickness.
Liu Xie has never commanded a water battle, so this time the commander of the march is Cai Mao, and half of the army is the Jingzhou Water Army, in order to avoid the Han soldiers who do not understand water warfare from being served by the Jiangdong Water Army.
All the way down the river, in Xunyang was intercepted by the navy led by Huang Gai, Liu Xie ordered Cai Mao to meet the battle, and he led the army to stop in Xunyang to prepare for the battle.
Cai Mao relied on the strong and stable boats, plus the Jingzhou Navy who was good at water warfare, and Mo Xueyuan secretly helped, although he could not directly attack the Jiangdong Navy, he could secretly control the water flow and help the Jingzhou Navy to occupy an advantage in the water potential, and these warships were also equipped with city-breaking crossbows, Cai Mao had an advantage in the first time against the Jiangdong Navy and repelled Huang Gai.
"Your Majesty, the Chaisang camp is quite strong, and it will be difficult for our army to pass by water."
Early the next morning, Cai Mao came to Liu Xie's side and said with a wry smile.
Although the hull and weapons have taken advantage, but the water war has extremely high requirements for the generals, on land can crush the enemy's weapons, the power on the river will be greatly reduced, although Huang Gai was defeated and returned to the camp, but although the warships in Jiangdong are not as stable as the warships of the imperial court, but they are more flexible, the draft is not deep, if Liu Xie continues to lead the army down the river, it is easy to be harassed by Huang Gai, once the other party overturns the boat, these soldiers who can be ten on land will be abused by others in the water, and they don't even have to do it, All you need to do is send someone into the water and gouge through the bottom of the boat, and you can wipe out these landlubbers.
And this kind of thing is a water ghost, but it is difficult to clean up, no matter how powerful Cai Mao is, it is impossible to fight underwater and block these people.
Hearing this, Liu Xie nodded.
Pang Tong frowned on the side and said: "Your Majesty, now Cao Cao has occupied Wujun, Danyang, Sun Quan's main force, and now most of them are gathered in the area from Chaisang to Panyang. ” Liu Xie asked people to bring the map, and frowned at the section of the map where the Yangtze River fell into it and converged into a huge lake, which should be Panyang Lake.
This last battle doesn't seem to be easy to fight.
"What about Zhou Yu's water army" Liu Xie turned his head to look at Cai Mao beside him.
"Back to Your Majesty, after Cao Cao's surrender, Zhou Yu's navy has returned to Chaisang, and now most of the main force in Jiangdong is here."
Cai Mao bowed.
"Do you have any good strategies" Liu Xie rubbed his temples, he didn't have much to do about water warfare, this water war was different from land warfare, the numerical advantage was limited to a certain extent, the number of warships and the use of water warfare was the key, Gan Ning's sea ships might not be able to be deployed here, and Zhou Yu could use the method of digging the boat to consume with him.
"Jiangdong Water Army" Pang Tong looked at Liu Xie and said: "The minister has a stupid method. ” "Let's talk about it," Liu Xie raised his eyelids and said.
"Now Jiangdong has gathered 40,000 people here, but it is not easy to raise this 40,000 army, His Majesty can establish a water village in Xunyang, and at the same time order people to quickly occupy Yuzhang, Huiji and other places, since the Cao army is attached, although it is not passable here, but Danyang can let the army pass, as long as the other counties and counties in Jiangdong are occupied, only with Chaisang, but can not raise the 40,000 army, less than a year, Sun Quan will not be able to continue, but this law will be long-lasting, I am afraid that it is" Pang Tong looked at Liu Xie, in the case that the water army could not break through the opponent's water village, This is also the only more reliable method at present, but he doesn't know if Liu Xie is willing to wait for this year.
"Okay" Liu Xie nodded: "Then wait for a year." ” For him, it doesn't matter whether the last battle is exciting or not, what he wants is victory, the less losses the better, not to mention, it takes time to digest Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou counties in one go during this time.
At that moment, Liu Xie ordered people to build a water village, and set up beacon towers on both sides of the strait to monitor the whereabouts of the Jiangdong Army.
Half a month later, Gan Ning's Henghai Division arrived in Xunyang, the flagship of the Henghai Division was seven zhang long, two zhang wide, and the height of the exposed water surface was also one zhang and a half, for Liu Xie, it was naturally not a big ship, but for the soldiers on both sides, the sea ship brought by Gan Ning was really blind to many people's eyes.
"The last general will see Your Majesty" in the Xunyang camp, after ten years, although the two sides often exchange letters, but at this moment, goodbye, it is the first time in ten years, seeing that the immature young emperor in the past is now a masculine teenager, Gan Ning's heart is a little sour.
In Liu Xie's eyes, Gan Ning, who was a little out of the way back then, has been honed for ten years, and now he is quite calm and has his own majesty.
"General Gan is much thinner than ever."
Liu Xie looked at Gan Ning and said with a smile: "You and I are gentlemen, a farewell is ten years, and in the past ten years, it has been difficult for Aiqing."
Liu Xie patted Gan Ning's shoulder and helped him up.
"If it weren't for His Majesty's mention, how could there be today's Ganning."
Gan Ning grinned, over the years, the two have exchanged a lot of naval combat experience through letters, Gan Ning is actual combat, and Liu Xie is theory, including the structure of the ship and the use of warships, Liu Xie has the knowledge of science and technology civilization, although he has no actual combat experience, but he knows a lot of things, and occasionally put it forward, and the contribution to Gan Ning and Jiaodong Shipyard is not low.
The two monarchs and ministers reunited after a long absence, Liu Xie recruited Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Guan Yu, and introduced those who knew and those who didn't know one by one, but when he introduced Dao Pang Tong, Gan Ning glanced at the goods suspiciously and said: "In the past, His Majesty said that the use of talents was a little unbelievable, but now he believes it." ” When the generals heard this, they couldn't help laughing, only Pang Tongyi's face turned red, if it weren't for the comparison of force, he would have to take off a piece of meat from Gan Ning today.
"Shiyuan is not strange, Xingba has been floating on the sea all these years, and his heart is a little faster, but there is no malice."
Liu Xie patted Pang Tong, looked at Gan Ning and said with a smile: "Shi Yuan is my brainchild, I underestimate him, and I won't be as comfortable as you in the future." ” Gan Ning knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly smiled at Pang Tong: "Mr.
Shiyuan, don't blame, the last general is used to joking with those bastards on weekdays, and he can't hold it back. ” Pang Tong glared at him hatefully, don't turn his head and didn't speak.
That night, Liu Xie set up a banquet to catch the wind for Gan Ning.
After three rounds of drinking, Gan Ning looked at Liu Xie suspiciously: "Your Majesty, I heard that most of this Jiangdong has been defeated now, and now the morale of our army is flourishing, why not go all out and calm this Jiangdong."
"Xingba doesn't know."
Lu Bu shook his head and sighed: "This land war, I am waiting for this group of people to be here, don't say that there are only 40,000 people in Jiangdong now, that is, 400,000, we are not afraid, but when we get to the water" In the end, Lu Bu shook his head and sighed, he was an authentic landlubber, when he got to the water, he couldn't even play three points with his combat power, and he could only watch the Jiangdong soldiers show off their might, and there was nowhere to use their strength.
"Your Majesty" Gan Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hugged his fist at Liu Xie and said: "At the end of these years, the generals will be responsible for some logistics supplies, even if those people of the three Koreas resist, for my Henghai Division, it is just an itch in the boots, since our army's naval division is unfavorable, it is better to let my Henghai Division's fight with that Zhou Yu, and let the last general see what this Jiangdong naval army is capable of."
Liu Xie thought for a while, nodded and said: "But this river is different from the sea, Xingba should be careful, I will let Cai Mao lead Jing Xiangshui to deal with it." ” "Jingxiang Water Master" Gan Ning was stunned, glanced at Cai Mao, and nodded, he had never put Jing Xiang Water Master in his eyes, in his eyes, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were Shui Kou back then, were better than Jing Xiang Water Master.
But now that he is a minister in the same hall, Gan Ning can't say anything.
This night was full of drinks, and as soon as the Henghai division came, Liu Xie did not let Gan Ning fight immediately, but became familiar with the water potential in this area, and half a month later, Liu Xie ordered Gan Ning to fight.
The appearance of the Henghai Division, really shocked the Jiangdong Naval Army, Zhou Yu ordered Huang Gai, Pan Zhang to fight, but the warship crashed into the Henghai Division's warship, directly overturned, although the Henghai Division only has more than 30 boats, the power is not small, and the stability is extremely strong, there is no need to board the ship at all, directly can knock the enemy's warship overturned, until the water village, the soldiers of the two sides fought for half a day, Zhou Yu relied on the trebuchet to repel Ganning's sailors, but this battle, also made the Jiangdong Naval Army suffer heavy losses, just knocked over the ship There are more than a dozen.
However, Zhou Yu is not a person who sits still, since the boat can't compare to the other party, he uses water ghosts to scuttle the boat, and the next morning, hundreds of small boats swarmed up, and he didn't collide with Gan Ning's sailors, and went directly into the water to scuttle the boat.
Gan Ning is not ambiguous, the soldiers of the Henghai Division are wandering in the sea all the year round, the water nature is naturally not weak, the water ghosts on both sides are mixed on the river, and the blood stains the river red.
Although Liu Xie had some regrets about the water war, he was not too disappointed, while letting Gan Ning continue to fight against Zhou Yu, and at the same time continuing to recover other counties in Jiangdong according to the strategy set by Pang Tong.
Because of the existence of Gan Ning, it contained Sun Quan's main force, and it was difficult to divide troops to rescue, and it also made the recovery of Jiangdong County less obstructive.

Even if Zhou Yu tried several tricks to completely clean up Gan Ning, but on the river, even if under the same conditions, Zhou Yu might be able to defeat Gan Ning, but it was extremely difficult to kill Gan Ning.
Half a year later, Jiangdong counties were almost occupied by the imperial court except for Chaisang and Panyang, and there was no suspense about dominating the world t1706231537:
