"You bastard old Cao! Should I handle such a trivial matter, or should I take full responsibility? Do you want people to survive??"
In General Hussar's Mansion, Lu Yan was very happy when he learned that his proposal was adopted... But when he heard that the visitor said that he had to take full responsibility for the separation and reorganization of the supervisor, Lu Yan suddenly felt beeping
Like several dogs...
"O Changsheng, you are a capable person, so please work harder..." the man consoled him.
Lu Yan didn't appreciate it at all. He squinted at the visitor and said, "Wen Ruo, why don't I leave this matter to you?"
However, Xun Yu raised his palms and firmly refused: "No! I still have a lot of unfinished work in my hands. How about I leave the rebuilding of Luoyang to you?"
"What a beautiful idea!" Lu Yan naturally would not dare to do such a stupid thing. He just lamented: "Oh...poor me, running around here and there, always thinking about his old Cao, but in the end, I am like an old cow.
, the person being commanded is going to die or live..."
Of course, Xun Yu would not follow Lu Yan's advice. He even asked, "You have grown up the supervisor by yourself. If you really hand it over to someone else, will you feel at ease?"
"Why can't I worry?" Lu Yan stretched out his fingers and broke them one by one: "You, Gongda, Fengxiao, Zhicai, Zhongde, Wenhe or Cao Gong himself, no matter who I give it to, I will
You have a hundred hearts!"
Xun Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and decided not to delve deeper into this issue, otherwise someone else might be pushed out to take the blame.
As the number one capable minister and chief steward under Lao Cao,
When it comes to such a big matter as changing the director's structure, naturally the first thing he has to go through is him.
However, Lao Cao's approval document has stated that Lu Yan has full authority to handle it, so Xun Yu is also happy to have some peace and quiet.
Xun Yu changed the topic and said: "Wouldn't it be good to separate the two institutions of steelmaking and forging? I believe that you probably already have a mature plan in your mind for the remaining institutions."
That’s what they say, yes. But doing everything by yourself is not the way to maintain your health!
Lu Yan grimaced and said, "I just came back from Youzhou, you can at least give me a rest..."
"Really?" Xun Yu said in a teasing tone: "In that case, when I go back, I will have people dispatch all the two hundred shipbuilders that the family has finally gathered together."
When Lu Yan heard this, he suddenly became excited and shouted: "Wait!"
"how?"
"How did you know I was looking for craftsmen who could build ships?"
"I have to look at the number and types of craftsmen recruited by your agency every day... Do you think that by splitting the agency as a cover, you can really hide the number of shipbuilders that is nearly double that of other institutions?
?”
Cao Cao's current territory is Hebei in addition to the Central Plains. If he wants to pacify the world, he must go south and wipe out the remaining princes in the south.
There is a lot of water in the south, with ditches and rivers crisscrossing it.
If you want to fight in the south, you need to have enough navy and warships. This is the same as when fighting in the plains and grasslands of Hebei, you need to have a sufficient number of cavalry.
In order to go north in the past few years, Lu Yan formed the Dragon Cavalry Battalion, the Wolf Cavalry Battalion and the Tiefu Tu; Cao Cao also formed the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Xiaoqi Battalions.
Now that the north has been determined, the army can move south at any time.
But if you want to be invincible going south, you will definitely need one or even several elite naval forces.
Instead of expecting to surrender the group of naval forces in Jingzhou, it would be better to have the peace of mind that he created himself, so Lu Yan wanted to create a powerful navy as soon as possible.
Therefore, Xun Yu only needs to sort out the most critical bits from these confusing information to know the real thoughts behind Lu Yan's separation and supervision.
"Be prepared for a rainy day, Lu Changsheng. I don't know what luck my lord had to get your favor."
When Lu Yan heard this, he muttered: "Anyway, as long as it's not a matter of luck..."
"..."
Now that his purpose had been defeated by Xun Yu, Lu Yan simply showed his cards and said, "You actually missed one thing."
Xun Yu was slightly startled when he heard this, and then suddenly said: "The steelmaking plant is also prepared for the navy?!"
"That's right!"
Talking to smart people is effortless! They tend to understand at a glance and think divergently very quickly, so Lu Yan still likes to play with upright people like Dian Wei and Zhang Fei...
Xun Yu was about to say that our naval base was weak and we had to take it step by step, but he didn't want Lu Yan to continue:
"I want to create an unprecedented and invincible navy capable of crossing the rivers and seas!"
"The people in Jingzhou and Jiangdong almost grew up in the water...
Compared with a conventional water battle, we, a group of landlubbers or a temporary navy army, will definitely suffer a big loss.
Therefore, only by taking them by surprise can we give them a fatal blow before they can react!
As long as we break through the natural barrier of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, under our large army, both Jingzhou and Jiangdong will be nothing more than two lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
After listening to Lu Yan's words, Xun Yu could not help but change from shock at the beginning to silence at the end.
In fact, with Xun Yu's strategic vision, how could he not see the importance of the navy to the Southern Expedition? Otherwise, the Xun family would not have provided two hundred craftsmen capable of building ships in such a short period of time.
But neither the navy nor the warships can be built overnight. Just the naval generals, soldiers, and training cooperation will take several years.
Jiangdong is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Taihu Lake Basin, so there is no doubt about the strength of the navy.
There are even battleships, sailboats, boats, boats, etc., and they are very fun to play.
Not only that, they now own a large-scale boat that can carry 3,000 people, not counting weapons, food and other necessities. Such a large-scale boat sailing on the water is simply a water fortress.
Cao Cao's warships may be more powerful and domineering than those built by Sun Quan, but the soul of a navy still lies in its people.
Although it is difficult and time-consuming to train a qualified navy, it still needs to be done.
Originally, Xun Yu was planning to bring it up himself, but he didn't want to inadvertently see through Lu Yan's preparations behind the scenes.
Recalling Lu Yan's preparations for major events such as the battle against Lu Bu, the emperor's welcome, and the Battle of Guandu, Xun Yu felt that it would be best to leave this matter to Lu Yan.
It sounds like a long time, but in reality it only lasts for a thought.
After Lu Yan finished speaking his thoughts, Xun Yu replied: "In that case, I will wait and see!"
"Don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Seeing that Lu Yan was confident, Xun Yu stopped asking too many questions and talked about his arrangements:
"I will do the work on the surface of the supervisor, and I will let Zhuge Liang assist you. I believe that with his ability, these things can be done easily."
Upon hearing that Xun Yu would send Zhuge Liang to help him, Lu Yan suddenly felt refreshed!
He asked curiously: "When did Kong Ming come back?"
"I came back at the beginning of this year..."
"Isn't there still half a year before the end of the training? Why did you come back early?" Lu Yan asked with some confusion.
Unexpectedly, Xun Yu sighed and said: "In such a large county, Zhuge Liang has done all the work in the government office alone... We can't let the officials just stare..."
"..."
"As expected of you, Zhuge Liang..." Lu Yan shook his head and thought to himself: "But it's not a good habit to do everything by yourself... Just wait until he comes to my side and I can find a chance to get rid of this problem of his."
