After the Battle of Jiujiang, the Jiangxia navy mobilized by Zhou Yu followed Gan Ning's navy. They did not fight, but followed from a distance. They stopped even if you stopped. Finally, they chased Gan Ning and his party to the estuary of the Yangtze River and Cabbage.
After the meeting, the Jiangxia Navy slowly turned around and left. Gan Ning and Chen Xi also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Every time they see the enemy's naval forces facing a unified cloud, Gan Ning and Chen Xi, the four legionnaires, one large, three small, and small, feel a sense of helplessness. That kind of majestic military appearance, a mere cold mist, etc. have no effect at all. Sure enough, most of them
In addition to the additional special effects, spiritual talents are more about surprise.
"We finally left. I thought the other party was really going to fight us." Chen Xi exhaled and held on to the edge of the boat.
"Jiangxia navy is so powerful!" Gan Ning exclaimed.
"Instruct Zilong and his uncle to return to Xiapi, Xuzhou, and continue to station and train troops. The Xuzhou plain is vast. Let Zilong select soldiers and train the cavalry. It is best to train more at the junction of Xiapi, Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Let unclezhi also
Strengthen the training of Danyang soldiers, station in Xuzhou, and be on guard." Seeing that it was safe now, Chen Xi felt relieved and ordered people to inform Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, who had been ambushing on the shore.
"Ships are only part of the factor, but our Lu family will try our best to do better." Lu Jun was also frightened by the military strength of the Jiangxia navy. There is always a huge gap between thieves and regular soldiers.
"Leave the soldiers to me. That kind of mental oppression is worthy of the elite soldiers specially selected by Zhou Gongjin." Gan Ning looked back at the Jiangxia navy that was about to disappear into the horizon and said with a little envy.
"The formation of the Jiangxia Navy was a long time ago. After Zhou Gongjin defeated Huang Zu, he took over 90% of the navy and selected the most elite from the Jiangxia Navy and the thousands of thieves he led at that time.
Eight thousand sailors and trained them. If it is not to this level, I would have doubts." Chen Xi comforted several people with a smile.
Although Huang Zu was a good general in water battles, it was a pity that he met Zhou Yu at the beginning, and Huang Zu bullied Zhou Yu because he was young and did not take Zhou Yu into his heart. He did not want to but was defeated by Zhou Yu, and then he became angry from shame. He fought repeatedly.
Defeated, Zhou Yu went all out and killed Huang Zu without giving him a chance to breathe!
The entire Jiangxia navy suffered little losses in those battles, except for the death of its commander. Most of them were taken over by Zhou Yu, who selected the elite. Then he persuaded the other soldiers to retreat to the Yangtze River bandits. Zhou Yu relied on this
By taking control of most of the Yangtze River bandit groups, Sun Cejun's actual power began to expand. Otherwise, Zhou Yu would not be able to control the Yangtze River even with empty words.
"Huh, let him be proud for a few years first. I, Gan Xingba, will come to the Yangtze River to fight with him in a few years!" Gan Ning looked at the Jiangxia navy that had almost disappeared on the horizon and said with a sneer. Zhou Yu's military power was so powerful
He was envious, so he also planned to move closer to that height.
"You have to have such courage, come on. Xingba, I will give you a certain tilt when you need it." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Our navy can't be weaker than their Sun family, right?"
While Chen Xi was encouraging Gan Ning, Sima Lang had already passed through his hometown in Hanoi and arrived at Chang'an, the current imperial capital of the Han Dynasty.
Looking at the blood-stained city wall, Sima Lang couldn't help but feel a little bitter. The black and red blood stains on the lower layer of the city wall were already mottled, but Sima Lang still understood that that was the place where Situ Wang Yun jumped, a place that made the world loyal.
Every time I think of this place, I can't help but feel chilled.
[Our Sima family has also been loyal to this dynasty. This extremely powerful dynasty once conquered the world. Unfortunately, in the end, it cannot escape the sun and the moon.
Guangwu or Wang Mang.] Sima Lang thought silently.
Sima Lang drove a carriage and paid for the entrance to the city, and then entered Li Jue's mansion with a greeting card.
"Sima Lang in Hanoi has met the general of chariots and cavalry." Sima Lang smiled and made Li Jue feel the kindness that was coming his way.
"Sit down, sit down, nephew Sima, you don't have to be formal. How do you do it, sir?" Li Jue smiled brightly and ordered the person to sit down. "I don't know if my nephew is not studying in Hanoi, but he has something important to come to Chang'an. We haven't seen each other for several years."
, Prime Minister Dong was still here at the beginning, but now, alas! My nephew is willing to become an official, and my Chariot and Cavalry General’s Palace happens to be short of a Sima." Li Jue said with a double entendre.
It can be said that when Dong Zhuo was still alive, he had no deep connection with the Sima family. Dong Zhuo even wanted to clean up the Sima family. However, after meeting Sima Lang, he suddenly thought of his dead son and sighed in his heart.
He went to find trouble with Sima Fang, but he took care of him instead.
"Thank you, General, for your kindness. Boda is very grateful. Now that I have completed my training, I am grateful to the General for not giving up." Sima Lang flattered Li Jue, "But I have one more thing to ask the General for help with when I come to Chang'an this time?"
"Tell me about it." Seeing Sima Lang agree, Li Jue asked with a smile.
"My second brother Sima Zhongda, who is fifteen years old, went out to travel and lost it..." Sima Lang said a little embarrassed, and then blushed just right, "I would also like to ask the general to help find it."
"Hahahaha, I will take care of this trivial matter." Li Jue laughed and said, "Don't worry, there will be news soon."
"Thank you so much, General." Sima Lang bowed and saluted, then stood up and said, "Lang entered the door before. I saw the general's expression was gloomy. I think I feel worried. Can you tell me something? Lang once heard someone say that one person can be short-changed and two people can't.
Comptroller, if the general is trustworthy, you can tell me. The general and I will work it out, and maybe by drawing parallels, the general will have new ideas."
Li Jue thought for a while and felt that Sima Lang's words were reasonable, so he said, "Hey, Boda, you don't know. This Sili is broken. In addition, because of the excessive use of weapons and soldiers before, we don't have much food in hand. A Duo, Fan Chong
, Lao Zhang asked me for food, but I have food for them!"
Li Jue explained the matter in detail, and Sima Lang immediately understood the cause and effect. Dong Zhuo had originally plundered a large amount of surplus grain, and the Xiliang soldiers could still survive by plundering everywhere.
It's a pity that a long and protracted confrontation with Ma Teng cost too much food. There was not much food left in the mountain, but it was absolutely impossible to ask Li Jue to reduce his Xiliang soldiers, but he did not reduce them.
If so, there won't be enough food.
"So that's how it is, why not negotiate peace with Ma Teng?" Sima Lang tried, "Although this method is detrimental to dignity, it is the fastest solution."
"I'm afraid it won't work. The two bastards Ma Shoucheng and Han Wenyue are gritting their teeth and trying to drag us to death! Let's see who can't help it now!" Li Jue said in an extremely unhappy tone. (To be continued...
