Traveling through history leaving a name

84 Union
Just when the middle-aged man and the young man took a carriage to the warehouse outside the city.

In Yuyang City, there are also several people who are planning.

"My lord, I have found out that there are only more than 5000 Cao Cao's garrison in Youzhou at present, and thousands of local soldiers in Youzhou also went to the south by boat to seek revenge from Sun Quan."

"I didn't expect that Youzhou would develop like this in less than ten years. If the general can get Youzhou and integrate Youzhou's population and strength, he will be able to fight against Cao Cao."

"This is a god-given opportunity. Cao Cao's army can't take care of here while they are fighting in Guanzhong, and Youzhou's soldiers and horses are so weak. As long as the general sends troops to attack, it will be easy to win Youzhou. At that time, as long as you control Youzhou with a few million The population, the Luping Steel Factory and the Yuyang Military Factory are not afraid of Cao Cao's attack."

"You immediately pass the news back to Liaodong as quickly as possible, and ask the general to send troops immediately..."

In the northern prairie, Kebineng, one of the leaders of the Xianbei tribe, was discussing matters with his men.

The Xianbei under Ke Bineng has been fighting everywhere in the past few years, and has unified all the Xianbei tribes east of Daijun. There are as many as [-] people riding horses and controlling strings. This is not a small force.

However, what others do not know is that such a situation is extremely inconsistent with the historical Ke specific energy.

Historically, after the split of Xianbei, it was not possible to reunify for a long time. In addition, Cao Cao took appeasement measures to the outside world. This resulted in Xianbei being very stable during the Three Kingdoms period and not having a strong sense of existence.

In fact, the reason why Ke Bineng was able to defeat several other Xianbei one after another in a few years is mainly because his sphere of influence borders Youzhou.

For example, Shanggu County, which Ke Bineng ruled, borders Yuyang County in Youzhou.

Every year, there is a large amount of trade between Xianbei and Youzhou. Youzhou merchants purchase Xianbei’s ginseng, furs, cattle, sheep, and horses, while Xianbei purchases Youzhou’s salt, tea, spices, cloth, porcelain, glass, soap and other commodities.

Of course, with the frequent transactions, it is inevitable that some people will take risks and trade a large amount of military supplies such as steel with the Xianbei forces where Ke Bineng belongs.

With these steel materials, Kebi used them to build many sophisticated weapons. These sophisticated weapons greatly improved Kebineng's strength.

Under such circumstances, Ke Bineng, like Cao Cao, began to continuously lead his army to crusade against other Xianbei tribes. In just a few years, he annexed several Xianbei tribes and unified all Xianbei tribes east of Daijun.

Such a situation was beyond the expectation of Zhang Qingfeng, a traveler.

"Boss, Gongsun Kang's envoy is here."

A man came to Kebineng's account and reported.

"Let the Liaodong envoy come in!" Ke Bineng ordered.

"The envoy from Liaodong has met Lord Kebineng."

Soon, the Liaodong envoy came, and then saluted Ke Bineng who was sitting in the first place.

"Gongsun Kang sent you here, why?" Ke Bi Neng asked the envoy, his tone was quite polite.

Liaodong, after the management of Gongsun Kang, its strength should not be underestimated.

Like the Xianbei people, Liaodong is also adjacent to Youzhou, and the business relationship is bigger than that of the Xianbei people.

In the past few years, Gongsun Kang has not only made money, but also obtained many high-quality weapons, all of which are made of steel from the Luping Steel Plant.

A few years ago, in order to open up his own territory, Gongsun Kang went to war against Goguryeo and the Three Koreas. Afterwards, he defeated Goguryeo and took control of Liaodong and most of the Korean Peninsula. With 10,000+ troops and horses, his strength should not be underestimated.

"Master Ke Bineng, the general sent me here to discuss important matters with you..."

(After checking the information, the title of the Xianbei leader at this time is indeed called an adult, which makes me speechless.)
On this day, Ke Bineng and the Liaodong envoy discussed in the tent for a day, and what they discussed was unknown to anyone except themselves.

Estuary of the Yangtze River.

Youzhou's fleet stopped and stopped along the coastline, bypassed the Shandong Peninsula, and arrived at the Yangtze River estuary. A month had passed.

The reason why they are so slow is that inland river boats are not used to sailing slowly, and the main reason is that the five thousand Youzhou firearms soldiers are not used to taking a boat. If you want them to maintain their combat effectiveness, they need a period of time to adapt.

The fleet stopped and went, stopped at the coastline of Guangling County to rest for a few days, and continued sailing after everyone had rested and recuperated.

In the current situation at the end of the Han Dynasty, the territory of Wu and Cao Cao to the north of the Yangtze River are bounded by Chaohu Lake in Hefei, and the Gaoyou Lake is the boundary on the east. Therefore, the north bank of the Yangtze River in the lower reaches of Guangling is now controlled by Cao Cao, and the south bank is controlled by Sun Quan.

On this day, when the Youzhou fleet finally entered the Yangtze River estuary, it happened to be dawn, and the people on both sides of the strait had already gotten up.

When the people on the south bank saw such a large fleet, they often showed expressions of fear.

When the people on the north bank saw the Youzhou fleet.Then there was a burst of cheers.

During the confrontation between the north and the south on the Yangtze River, Sun Quan in the south has always been dominant, and almost all the ships sailing in the Yangtze River are ships of Sun Quan's forces.

As long as the north has the idea of ​​building a shipyard on the north bank of the Yangtze River, it will be destroyed by Sun Quan's navy.

Even ordinary small merchant ships are sometimes detained by Sun Quan's navy, which makes the people in the north very resentful, but there is nothing they can do.

In the Yangtze River, when the ships of Sun Quan's forces saw the huge fleet from Youzhou, they immediately ran away in fright.

Because the news had already spread, last time Youzhou's merchant ship was sunk by Sun Quan's navy, this time Youzhou came to take revenge.

It's just that it has been more than ten days since the news came, and no one thought that the fleet from Youzhou would arrive so slowly.

At sea, all the generals in the Youzhou fleet were gathered on Zheng Chenggong's ship for a meeting.

"Everyone, we are about to enter the Yangtze River. Here I declare again that, except for Sun Quan's army and navy ships, ordinary civilian ships and people on the shore are not allowed to attack." Zheng Chenggong said to everyone.

"What if civilian ships and ordinary people attack us?" someone asked.

"As long as the ones attacking you are not ordinary people but enemies, you can shoot and kill them at will."

Zheng Chenggong said: "Also, any ship that dares to approach you will be regarded as an enemy ship and must not be kept."

"In this operation, we will go all the way to the north along the Yangtze River. The main goal is to eliminate Sun Quan's navy to avenge Niu Mang. If Sun Quan's navy can't avoid the battle, we will pretend to attack Sun Quan's old nest Moling (Nanjing) and force Sun Quan. Send sailors to fight us."

"When we defeat Sun Quan's navy, we can demand compensation from Sun Quan by threatening to attack Moling. Do you understand?"

"understood."

"Okay, now that I understand everything, I will issue combat missions now."

Zheng Chenggong said to everyone: "The three Galen will stay at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and fifteen gunboats and half of the supply ships will enter the Yangtze River to fight."

"Five thousand Musketeers stay here first, and make arrangements after the battle situation becomes clear."

Finally, Zheng Chenggong turned his attention to the gunboat commander Lin Yongsheng.

"Lin Yongsheng, the next command will be handed over to you, you must not let everyone down."

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely complete the task." Lin Yongsheng promised loudly.

Hearing Lin Yongsheng's guarantee, Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said: "If the fleet is facing a serious threat, you must retreat immediately to ensure the safety of the fleet. If the casualties are too large, even if you beat Sun Quan to death, it will be a failure. Understand? ?”

"Understood!" Lin Yongsheng replied.

"Okay, everyone, let's go back and prepare to set off." Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and asked everyone to return to his ship.
