After Xun Yu left, Lu Yan was quietly thinking about a series of things such as the shipyard.
Under the turmoil of thoughts, Lu Yan's train of thought also seemed a little confused.
"Today, in the General's Prison, more than 1,500 craftsmen with shipbuilding experience have been recruited; together with the 200 shipbuilders from Xun Yu's side, the total number has reached more than 1,700."
"We can recruit more people. We should first gather two thousand people. I think it should be enough now. Then the shipyard can start construction now."
"It's just...where should this shipyard be built?"
"Historically, Cao Cao himself did not have a navy.
At that time, Liu Biao happened to be ill, and the two men were at odds with each other. Cao Cao took the opportunity to send his troops south to capture Jingzhou.
Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Jiangxia, abandoning Xinye.
The new lord of Jingzhou, Liu Cong, surrendered without a fight and surrendered Jingzhou and 200,000 navy troops to Cao Cao.
After Boss Cao occupied Jingzhou, to be precise, most of the northern part of Jingzhou, he led the Jingzhou navy into Dongting Lake to practice the navy." Lu Yan recalled while organizing and writing the information.
Therefore, Cao Cao himself did not have shipbuilding or naval forces, so he got the opportunity to capture Jingzhou and annex Jingzhou's navy.
With Jingzhou's 200,000 naval troops, Cao Cao had the idea of fighting Sun Quan from Jiangdong.
But later, Lao Cao accidentally fell into Zhou Yu's alienation plan and killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the commanders of the Jingzhou navy. In addition, the Jingzhou army was not loyal, so the navy who came for nothing was killed by Zhou Yu in Chibi.
A fire burned it out.
With such a major mistake, Lu Yan would naturally not be able to watch it happen again, so forming a navy of his own was an imperative measure.
There are many reasons for Lao Cao's defeat in Chibi. One of them, and the most important one, is that arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
After defeating Yuan Shao and annexing the four states of Hebei, Cao Cao has become the largest prince in the world.
At that time, except for a few counselors who were still awake, most people in the Cao family group, including Cao Cao, believed that
As long as Cao Cao's army goes south, both Liu Biao and Sun Quan will be nothing more than local chickens and dogs. As for Liu Bei, who has less than 10,000 soldiers and will only confine Zhang Zhao, Cao Cao doesn't pay attention at all.
Secondly, Cao Cao did not have a naval force that truly belonged to him. When fighting against the Jiangdong Navy, he was led by Zhou Yu's force.
Later, the navy was burned out, and Lao Cao lost hope of winning the battle.
Incidentally, Cao Cao did laugh during his escape, but not three times, but once;
After he laughed, an ambush did appear, but it was Liu Bei who lit a fire in the rear to scare him. In the end, Cao Cao escaped from Huarong Road, and there was no Guan Yu on Huarong Road.
Finally, there is another point. The soldiers in Cao Cao's own army are all from the north. When they came to the south, they were not accustomed to the climate and the soil, and they also contracted the plague.
Under the influence of multiple factors, Cao Cao also knew that he could not defeat the Sun and Liu coalition forces. He had long thought of retreating, so the coalition forces easily broke through the camp.
To pacify Jingzhou and Jiangdong, naval forces are essential.
Many thoughts passed through his mind, and Lu Yan's thoughts became more and more determined: "No matter what, you still have to have an elite navy of your own..."
"Forget it about buildings and boats, they are flashy and can only be looked at."
"The three-masted warship is an armed ship that only appeared in the 17th century and has been operating on the sea for more than 200 years."
The three-masted battleship is huge and extremely fast! It is also equipped with hundreds of cannons of various types and carries hundreds of thousands of people. It is the undisputed overlord in the sea. Until the emergence of the ironclad, it has always been the king.
Such existence!
Historically, on the surface, Liu Biao and Liu Bei joined forces to fight against Cao Cao, forming a two-on-one situation. However, in reality, Liu Bei based himself in the new country or, "more and more heroes from Jingzhou returned to the original master", which caused Liu Biao to have a crush on Liu Bei.
Some suspicions, "Yin Yu".
The suspicion between the two Liu created favorable conditions for Cao Cao to send troops. Later, Liu Biao became seriously ill, and Cao Cao immediately rushed south to attack Jingzhou.
The suspicion between the two Lius, as well as the serious illness of Liu Biao and the incompetence of the new leader Liu Cong created a golden opportunity for Cao Cao.
Later, Liu Bei knew that Xiaochi Qian in Xinye City was unable to resist Cao Cao's army, so he chose to run away.
Once the new field is lost, the door to Jingzhou will be opened.
In addition, Liu Biao died of illness, and Liu Cong and the local nobles in Jingzhou were afraid of the power of Cao's army.
So under the persuasion of Cai Mao and others, Liu Cong surrendered without a fight, handing over Jingzhou's huge territory and 200,000 naval troops to Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao successfully entered Jingzhou, he sent tiger and leopard cavalry 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 caught up by the tiger and leopard cavalry near Changbanpo, and was eventually beaten to a score of seventy.
Eight falls.
But now Liu Biao is still alive and well, and Liu Bei is now serving as the prefect of Chenliu County, so there is no way for him to play palace intrigues with Liu Biao.
Today's Jingzhou is more united and more difficult to be broken by external forces. If Cao Cao marches into Jingzhou now, he may be attacked head-on by Liu Biao's navy when he returns.
"The navy commander is Gan Ning, but it is not easy to recruit the navy..."
"But we should be able to let Gan Ning use his influence and let them go to the north and south to recruit a group of ready-made people?"
Thinking of this, Lu Yan felt that this method was feasible.
There are a lot of water thieves on the Yangtze River. Gan Ning used to be the king of water thieves in the Yangtze River. Not to mention the extraordinary, masonry, and platinum, it shouldn't be a problem to recruit some bronze, silver, gold, etc. Then he will undergo strict training.
, the rank will rise sooner or later.
When he thought of it, he had to do it, so Lu Yan shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come here!"
"Brother, what are your orders?" The person who responded to Lu Yan's call was changed from Chen Dao to Lu Ji.
Chen Dao and Lu Xun successfully entered Taipei University in the spring recruitment in April this year.
After Zhuge Liang left, Taixue, which had been ruled by Sima Yi for nearly three years, finally had someone who could shake his influence.
Speaking of Sima Yi, here we should mention why he stayed in Taiyuan University.
In fact, Sima Yi had already passed the graduation level, but he still refused to graduate and go out to practice.
On the surface, he said that he was not good at academics, but in fact, he had more of an emotion called "fear" in his heart.
Think about it, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Yang Xiu and other first batch of talented students, who didn't have some relationship with Lu Yan? This is because Lu Yan always likes to promote talents, and capable people are very close to him, and Lu Yan
He is also willing to give them pointers and connections.
But Sima Yi was never summoned by Lu Yan. He took the initiative to submit invitations to ask for an audience several times, but was rejected for various reasons.
How could Sima Yi, who was already cunning and cunning, not see that he was disliked by Lu Yan?
Sima Yi believed that it was because his family was too powerful that he was disliked by Lu Yan.
No matter how hard Sima Yi thought about it, he couldn't figure out the real reason why he was "disliked" by Lu Yan...
To be precise, Lu Yan did not "dislike" Sima Yi; Lu Yan had more of a cautious approach to Sima Yi.
