Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 285 Qingzhou Navy
In the second year of Anhe, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, died of serious illness, and Xuzhou fell into chaos for a while.

The Xuzhou family Chen Gui and Chen Deng took advantage of the situation to occupy Xiapi City, the prefectural government. Soon Chen Gui took the governorship of Xuzhou himself; the general Cao Bao went north to occupy Pengcheng Kingdom; When Langya Kingdom met three thousand elite soldiers led by General Di Qing of Qingzhou, they were defeated and returned to Donghai Kingdom, so Langya Kingdom was occupied by Liu Xie.

But to Liu Xie's disappointment, Di Qing and Xuan Jingsi were unable to find Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin and others, and it was not known whether they had really moved to Xiangyang to study, or whether they were deliberately avoiding to become officials.

You must know that relying on Zhuge Liang's attainments in strange arts, it is quite easy to avoid Liu Xie's search, not to mention that no one knows what he looks like.

Gained calmly, lost calmly.

Liu Xie didn't find Zhuge Liang, but he wasn't too entangled. After all, he had too many top counselors around him, and one Zhuge Liang was just icing on the cake.

But at this time, news suddenly came from the north that Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Youzhou.

When Yuan Shao waited for the weather to warm up, he ordered Wen Chou and Yan Liang to lead an army of [-] to attack Fanyang County in Youzhou. He also ordered Qu Yi and Chang Yuchun to lead an army of [-] to invade Liu Bei's Yuyang County. You and other military divisions and generals such as Zhang He and Gao Lan followed behind as a support.

After Liu Yu and Liu Bei received the news of Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops, they didn't care to confront Gongsun Zan any more, and hurriedly dispatched troops to resist Yuan Shao.

Liu Yu asked General Xian Yufu to lead [-] troops to Rongcheng to resist Yan Liangwen Chou, and Liu Bei also asked Guan Yu to lead [-] troops to Quanzhou to fight Qu Yi and Chang Yuchun.

As soon as the two sides fought, Yan Liangwen Chou led his troops to defeat Fan Yang, and Liu Yu's general Xian Yuyin was also killed by Yan Liangzheng. Only Xian Yufu and Yan Rou fled back to Ji County with [-] defeated troops. The entire Fanyang county was surrendered.

However, after Guan Yu led the army to face Qu Yi and Chang Yuchun, he defeated two generals in a row. In the end, it was Qu Yi who was the first to ascend to the dead.

After the news was sent back to Yuan Shao's camp, everyone was shocked. Tian Fengjin said: "Now it seems that Liu Yu is nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are the real enemies of the lord who took Youzhou. My lord is better off sending A general led the army to attack Liu Yu alone, and he personally led a heavy army to Yuyang County to deal with Liu Bei. His lips are dead and his teeth are cold. It is not certain that Gongsun Zan will join forces with Liu Bei at that time, so we cannot take it lightly."

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered General Zhang Yun to go to Fanyang County to replace Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and then rushed to Yuyang with the second general and the army to attack Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei received the news that Yuan Shao led an army to attack Yuyang, he immediately sent his adviser Jian Yong to Gongsun Zan. In the end, the two joined forces. Liu Bei led [-] infantry, and Gongsun Zan led [-] cavalry. A total of [-] troops arrived in Quanzhou and Guan Yu. meet.

Ten days later, the two sides began their first battle in Quanzhou.

Guan Yu's bravery was hard to beat, and he defeated the two generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Fei defeated Chang Yuchun, and Pan Feng also defeated Qu Yi.

All of a sudden, Yuan Shao charged forward fiercely, but was blocked by Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan in Quanzhou, making it difficult to move forward.

Yuan Shao was furious, but calmed down under Tian Feng's persuasion, and the leader confronted Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, as if waiting for something.

And Lu Bu, who stationed troops in Guzang, Liangzhou, finally led the attack after the beginning of spring, attacking Han Suimateng and other rebels in Xiliang.

The two sides won and lost each other, and Lu Bu's results were not obvious, so Li Ru and others were more afraid of him, thinking that he was deliberately procrastinating to accumulate strength, so there were restrictions on the supply of food and grass, which further caused Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and other merged states. The general's resentment is only a fuse to trigger the conflict between the two.

Liu Xie couldn't be idle either. The current development of Yanzhou and Qingzhou is stable and good, and his attention is all on the navy. Soon news of Qi Jiguang came from Qingzhou.

After Liu Xie sent several master shipbuilders for him, Qi Jiguang and the others finally built the first car and boat, and the test results were very good.Although some aspects need to be improved compared with the vehicles and ships of the Song Dynasty, compared with the buildings and ships of this era, both in terms of speed explosion and battery life, they are much higher, and their adaptability to the river and sea environment is also greater. Much higher.

After all, Qi Jiguang is a famous navy general of a generation, but he did not only focus on vehicles and boats, but also ordered people to build existing warships such as building boats and warships. They cooperated with each other and the training effect was quite good. A set of mutually integrated warship formation configurations.

Although the current Qingzhou Navy is not as good as the Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy in terms of soldiers' water skills and actual water combat capabilities, but there are two navy generals, Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning, I believe that after a period of training, It must be able to make up for this gap.

As for the governor, Liu Xie had left Chenliu and headed to Zhuangwu County in Chengyang County, Qingzhou, where Qi Jiguang's naval camp was located and the famous Jiaozhou Bay in later generations.

Liu Xie only brought three generals, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Yue Yun with him on this trip. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were his personal guards, and they could not leave him wherever he went. He brought Yue Yun because he was bored in Chenliu. The two are about the same age, so it's more fun to be around.

It took them half a month to get to Zhuangwu, because Liu Xie was traveling in low-key, so except for Yu Yunwen, Xue Li, Qi Jiguang and other confidantes who knew about it, other officials didn't know about it. I thought Liu Xie was still staying in Chenliu.

After Liu Xie arrived in Zhuangwu County, he directly entered the navy camp for inspection.

As for the navy, Liu Xie, the monk of Zhang Er, couldn't figure it out. Although he didn't know how to arrange the camp, he could see that Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning did put a lot of effort into it. It seemed easy to defend but difficult to defend. Attack, very majestic.

"My lord, this is our newly built vehicle and boat. These days, we seized the time to manufacture two more. Now there are three large paddle steamers and five small flying tiger warships, which can be matched with a small fleet." Compiled."

Under the leadership and explanation of Qi Jiguang, Liu Xie visited the inside and outside of the ship. The effect was good, and it was not as bumpy as imagined.

"Yuan Jing did a good job. Hey, why don't you see this guy Gan Ning? This guy is good at martial arts and is a top-notch water fighter, but he is also a thorn. Yuan Jing has not convinced him yet."

It was only now that Liu Xie realized that he hadn't seen Gan Ning since he entered the camp. Now standing on the deck facing the sea breeze, Liu Xie couldn't help asking.

"Haha, General Gan's character is indeed a bit flamboyant. He is now leading the navy to go to sea for training, and he will not come back until dark. However, although we can go to sea now, we can't be too far away from the land."

Qi Jiguang explained that he was still not very satisfied with the progress of the navy.

He hopes that one day, the navy under his command will be able to gallop freely on the sea and be invincible!
