Chapter 757 Send troops to attack the Japanese country!
Zhou Yu looked calm and said in an unhurried manner: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am going to send troops to the Japanese country this time. After thorough discussion with Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You and others, I decided to send troops at 20,000 elite troops."
"On the one hand, the number of soldiers going out for the expedition is small, so they have less food, drink and diarrhea every day, and less logistical supplies are needed when crossing the sea. After all, after going to sea, there is a long sea route to the Japanese country, so supplies are not easy."
"On the other hand, according to the news sent back from the Japanese state, the Japanese state's territory is not large and the terrain is relatively narrow. It does not even have half of Yizhou. Such an area is relatively primitive. We think that we do not need too many troops. The soldiers are valuable and capable.
Not much more expensive.”
"The key is to have good soldiers and tiger generals."
"The troops are small and have sufficient combat effectiveness."
"So this time, I suggest that 20,000 elite troops be mobilized, led by Zhao Yun, and coupled with Zhang He and Gao Lan, plus tiger generals like Xu Chu. There are also Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Ma Chao and others around Cao Cao. The lineup is already very strong."
"I also suggested that Huang Zhong, who is guarding Xuzhou, should also participate. His army does not need to participate in the war, and Huang Zhong is more suitable."
Zhou Yu's eyes were bright and he said: "As for the counselors, I will personally take Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You, plus Fazheng who has been transferred back, we will join the battle together and destroy the Japanese country in one fell swoop."
Lu Xuan was thinking in his mind.
Now that the country is pacified, it's all his direct descendants, so there won't be any problems.
However, Lu Xuan glanced at Zhou Yu, shook his head and said: "Gong Jin, this time we attack the Japanese country, you are responsible for staying at the rear. Fazheng, Guo Jia, Xun You and Xun Yu will accompany us."
"This battle with the Japanese country will take one year or two years. It is not yet certain. Once the Japanese country is captured and further operations are carried out in other areas, you will participate. While you stay in the country, pay attention to investigating the intelligence of Tianzhu.
.”
"I obey the decree!"
Zhou Yu nodded after hearing this.
Obviously, Lu Xuan made such an arrangement considering domestic security.
Zhou Yu was in charge and could stabilize the army. At the same time, as the governor of the governor's palace, Zhou Yu had high prestige and could compete with the civil service system.
Lu Xuan would not leave and the military and political imbalance would be unbalanced.
Zhou Yu thought for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, the prince has been outside all the time. Do you want to recall him? The prince has been traveling with Duke Zheng for several years. He has seen what he needs to see. You can't stay outside all the time."
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "There is no rush for now. It is not of much use to recall him now. After all, he is not very old. When I win the Japanese country, I will personally return to the country and recall the prince. The next time we fight abroad
, you can let the prince supervise the country. By then, he will be older, so it will be easier to arrange."
Zhou Yu understood immediately.
Now recall Lu Yu. Because Lu Yu is too young to be effective, it would be better to stay outside.
Anyway, we have been in touch with Lu Yu.
Zhou Yu thought about this expedition and said: "Your Majesty, this expedition also involves Xun Yu, Xun You and others, as well as the King of Qin. Although these people have surrendered, your Majesty still needs to be more considerate."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know."
Zhou Yu stood up and said: "In that case, I will make arrangements immediately. If your Majesty wants to set off, it will be an auspicious day in three days, so you can set off."
"Then set it for three days!"
Lu Xuan agreed directly.
Zhou Yu got up and left to make arrangements.
Lu Xuan arranged for someone to call Zhang Zhao. Looking at the high-spirited Zhang Zhao, he smiled and said: "Zhang Qing, in three days, I will personally lead the troops to attack the Japanese country."
Zhang Zhao frowned and said, "Your Majesty, can you send a general there?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "I have to go in person because there are some changes in the Japanese country."
Zhang Zhao sighed in his heart.
misfortune?
He didn't think anything could happen to a mere Japanese country. It was just because his Majesty was about to go on an expedition.
Zhang Zhao has long been used to this kind of thing.
It is not suitable for a monarch to go out every time for major military campaigns. However, his Majesty, instead of staying at the rear, is always on the front line.
Zhang Zhao can't control it either.
This has been the case over the years.
Zhang Zhao said: "Your Majesty is going to attack the Japanese country. I will take care of the rear and wait for your Majesty's triumphant return."
Lu Xuan laughed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhang Qing."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Zhang Zhao shook his head.
Lu Xuan waved his hand and after Zhang Zhao retreated, Lu Xuan arranged for someone to call Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu was in charge of the Embroidery Guard, which was Lu Xuan's trump card. Lu Xuan ordered Yang Xiu to keep an eye on the families of Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Cao and others, and not to make any mistakes. In order to prevent anyone from harming the Cao family,
, and to prevent the Cao family from having any ideas.
The security of the rear is related to Cao Cao.
Lu Xuan must make arrangements.
Lu Xuan believed in Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, but trusting them is one thing, and arranging them was another. Especially Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others had no intentions. What if the next generation did?
What needs to be arranged must be arranged.
Yang Xiu left with the order, and Lu Xuancai got up and went to the harem.
After Lu Xuan talked to Da Qiao, he comforted all the women around him. Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, the sky was clear and clear.
Lu Xuan went out with 20,000 elite soldiers, escorted by Xu Chu, plus Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Gao Lan, as well as Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Xun You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xiahou Dun, Ma Chao and others.
Very huge.
More than 20,000 people left Nanjing County and headed north by boat to enter the Yangtze River.
All warships are newly built in these years. The warships are stronger and have keels added, which can make the warships cut through the waves without being affected. The warships in these years have frequently traveled to and from Youzhou and the south of Yangzhou.
Trade on land and sea became more and more prosperous, which was the driving force for the development of warships.
Everyone entered the Yangtze River by boat and headed east along the Yangtze River.
On the deck of the flagship where Lu Xuan was, he was wearing a sky-blue robe, looking at the rippling blue waves of the Yangtze River, and his mood suddenly broadened. Lu Xuan looked at Cao Cao aside and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, attacking the Japanese country is our first battle, but
Any ideas?"
Cao Cao's fighting spirit was high and he said: "I just had an idea and swept across the Japanese country with lightning speed. Even if the Japanese country has strength, it is nothing to be afraid of. Sun Quan cannot stop it because Sun Quan is incompetent."
Cao Cao had a detailed understanding of the Japanese country.
He contacted Zhou Yu and learned that the Japanese country was quite powerful and had a lot of fighting spirit.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "I also hope to sweep away the Japanese country and strive to unify the Japanese country as soon as possible."
Cao Cao said: "That is inevitable."
The two chatted about how to deal with the Japanese country, and the warships continued eastward one after another. When they arrived at the seaport of Dantu County, Huang Zhong, who had arrived long ago, quickly boarded the ship to rendezvous, and then followed them out to sea.
One warship after another went out to sea, sailing along the endless blue sea towards the Japanese country of Kyushu Island.
One warship after another, like a dragon entering the sea!
