Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

On the offshore sea in between, two naval forces are fighting, one with a yellow scarf and the other with a red scarf to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.But Gongsun Xu took a closer look, and found that the number of these two groups of sailors and horses was about a thousand, and they drove the boats to charge and kill the place.

After Gongsun Xu looked at it for a while, he asked Gan Ning beside him: "Xingba, how often do you fight against your navy like this?"

Gan Ning said: "Your Majesty, this kind of confrontation is the normal state of naval training. It will be held once a month. The Jinfan Army has a total of 1 people. There are [-] people in one team. They are divided into ten teams in total. Every time there is a two-two confrontation, the winner will be the winner." Let's compete again, and it will take three days to compete for the final winner."

Gongsun Xu nodded, and then said: "This kind of training is very good, but have you ever fought at night?"

"Night battle?" Gongsun Xu said with some doubts: "My lord, we have also considered night battles, but the navy's night battle confrontation is really dangerous. A confrontation like this will kill a few people every time. If it is a night battle, the damage will be even greater." too much."

Gongsun Xu frowned, and said: "Of course I know that the casualties will be greater in night battles, but if you don't train for night battles and the navy fights in the future, if the enemy attacks the navy camp at night, the casualties will probably be even greater."

Awakened by Gongsun Xu's words, Gan Ning hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will go down here to prepare for night training."

Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "Night battle training must be done, even if the casualties are heavy, it must be carried out. It is a pity that these casualties will be even greater in the future on the battlefield. Moreover, this night battle is not only for the navy army, but also for the wind and leopard army. Night combat training must also be carried out, and it cannot be stopped because of concerns about casualties."

Su Lie on the side also said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Su Lie understands."

Gongsun Xu nodded, looked at the two water armies that were fighting, and asked again: "Xingba, has the Jinfan army ever trained in fighting in water?"

Gan Ning smiled and said: "My lord, there are [-] water ghosts among the [-] soldiers of the Jinfan Army. These water ghosts are good at diving into the water to fight. It is easy to hold your breath for a quarter of an hour."

Gongsun Xu frowned even more: "Except for the three thousand water ghosts, the other soldiers of the Jinfan Army have never been trained to fight in water. What I need is not a group of sailors who understand water and can sail. A group of sailors who can inflict damage to the enemy on board and underwater. Three thousand water ghosts are naturally excellent, but the rest of the Jinfan soldiers also need to master some ability to fight in water. Falling into the water at the same time, good water quality does not mean that you can kill the enemy in the water."

Gongsun Xu continued: "Also, if the warship is destroyed by the enemy, how can we escape from the warship, and how can we jump off the ship to save our lives. The training of the northern water army is not easy, but if we don't train more in these aspects, we will not be able to survive in the future." On the battlefield, I don't want to see Jinfan Army soldiers die on the battlefield because of insufficient training."

At this moment, Gan Ning was shocked by Gongsun Xu's continuous words, and put away the arrogance in his heart, and said respectfully to Gongsun Xu: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will go down and start training preparations."

Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I still have something to tell you, but these trainings must be done as soon as possible. When I go to the battlefield in the future, I hope that all the soldiers of our Jinfan Army will come back without missing a beat."

At this time, Gan Ning looked at Gongsun Xu with faint excitement.

Originally, although Gan Ning was loyal to Gongsun Xu, it was only because Gongsun Xu valued his own ability and allowed Gan Ning to display his strength on the battlefield.But now it seems that this Gongsun Xu is not as ignorant of the navy as he thought. Some of the suggestions Gongsun Xu just put forward have already been thought of by Gan Ning, but they have not yet been implemented, but there are still some Gan Ning I didn't think of it at all.

After continuing to watch the confrontation training of the navy for a while, Gongsun Xu began to visit the ships and equipment of the navy under Qi Jiguang's guidance.During this visit, Gongsun Xu discovered that the navy used much more equipment than he had imagined.And during the visit, Gongsun Xu still found that many of the equipment here were invented by Qi Jiguang, so Gongsun Xu took a few more glances at Qi Jiguang.

Originally, Gongsun Xu had other arrangements for Qi Jiguang, but looking at it now, Gongsun Xu has strengthened his arrangements for Qi Jiguang.

After visiting the equipment of the water army, Gongsun Xu walked into the main tent of the water army camp with Su Lie and others under the guidance of Gan Ning.

Gongsun Xuduan sat on the main seat, and there were Gan Ning, Qi Jiguang, and Su Lie under him. As for Yuwen Chengdu, Dianwei, and Gao Aocao, Gongsun Xu stayed outside the tent to guard them.

Chapter 648 Gan Ning's Mission

After sitting down, Gongsun Xu asked: "Xingba, how many people does the Jinfan Army have now?"

Gan Ning said: "Your Majesty, the Jinfan Army now has a total of 1 people."

"1 people?" Gongsun Xu gently poked his chin with his right hand, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Xingba, in this way, you allocate 3000 soldiers of the Jinfan Army to Yuan Jing, and I will own the [-] people." useful, and as soon as possible."

Although Gan Ning didn't know what Gongsun Xu wanted to allocate [-] soldiers and horses alone, since it was Gongsun Xu's order, Gan Ning would not refute it, nor would he do things that were obedient to others.Of course, under Gongsun Xu's order, Gan Ning had to do it if he didn't want to.

After Gan Ning nodded, Gongsun Xu continued: "There is still Xingba. Within ten days, I want you to lead the remaining [-] Jinfan Army out from Qingzhou to the waters of Yangzhou. Now the Jinfan Army is sailing on the sea. It should be fine, right?"

Gan Ning said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Jinfan Army may still have some problems if it is far away, but Yangzhou's waters are all near the sea. Without the current capabilities of the Jinfan Army, there should be no problem."

Gongsun continued: "That's good. After you lead the Jinfan Army to the waters of Yangzhou, don't use the island as a station. Don't let Chu or Wu find out. Now Dongwu is retreating steadily under the attack of Xiang Yu from Chu. , I guess it won’t be long before they will be defeated. At that time, with Zhou Yu’s character, he will never be captured without a fight. Xuzhou then arranged for Yue Fei to send them to Yecheng by land."

Gan Ning nodded, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do if I don't find any traces of the Eastern Wu remnants overseas or they haven't escaped at all?"

Gongsun continued: "That's okay, I can only say that they have nothing to do with me. In this case, you can lead the Jinfan Army back to Xuzhou, and Yue Fei will arrange for you to train in Xuzhou. After all, Qingzhou is too far away from the south. The Fan Army can threaten Yangzhou with the fastest speed."

Gan Ning said: "The general will understand."

Gongsun continued: "In this case, you go down and prepare for the departure in ten days."

After handing over Gan Ning's task, Gongsun Xu looked at Qi Jiguang and said, "Yuan Jing, I asked Xingba to allocate 3000 people to give you a task. I will give you all the 3000 people for training. I only have one request for you, that is, I hope that these 3000 people are not pure naval forces, I need these 3000 people to be dragons on water, and tigers on land. In short, these 3000 people are not only in water warfare Be good at it, I also need them to have enough fighting power on land, I don’t want your 3000 people to have fighting power only on water, and be like kittens on land.”

Qi Jiguang understood, Gongsun Xu nodded, and then said: "Since you want to be the dragon in the water and the tiger on the land, then your army is called the Tiger Dragon Army. I will give you a staff of 5000 people, and you can go to the remaining 2000 people." Find a way to recruit."

At this time, Qi Jiguang saluted Gongsun Xu, and said ecstatically: "The final general Qi Jiguang thanked the king for his name, and he will live up to his trust. The final general promises to the king that within a year, the tiger dragon army will be able to form an army. It must be the dragon in the water and the tiger on land."

Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "Okay, then I will wait and see, I hope you will not let me down."

Qi Jiguang nodded his head heavily, and Gongsun Xu then said to Su Lie: "Dingfang, now the Jinfan Army is going to Yangzhou, and then stationed in Xuzhou, but the Hujiao Army is staying in Qingzhou to continue training. I hope you can help Yuan Jing to train the Tiger Flood Army into shape as soon as possible, the sooner the Tiger Flood Army is formed, the more useful it will be for us."

Su Lie said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Su Lie will definitely help General Qi train the Tiger Dragon Army with all his strength."

Gongsun Xu nodded, then turned his gaze to Qi Jiguang, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Yuan Jing, this time you take on the important task, I will appoint you as General Yokono to lead the five thousand tiger dragon army."

Qi Jiguang was even more grateful at this time, and continued to say to Gongsun: "The general thank you for your kindness, and please rest assured, the general will definitely go all out, please wait and see."

Gongsun Xu laughed loudly, and said: "Okay, General Qi, then I will wait and see, I hope that the tiger dragon army will not disappoint me in the future, what I want to see is a tiger dragon army that can become a dragon in the water and a tiger on land , it’s not that the Tiger Flood Army is useless in water warfare, and land warfare is useless, if I don’t see the Tiger Flood Army take shape after a year, then I will never let you down lightly.”

Qi Jiguang said: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, the general is willing to issue a military order. If the tiger dragon army does not take shape after a year, then he will be willing to dedicate his head to the King for kicking."

Gongsun Xu mused after hearing the words: "Qi Jiguang, you know there is no joke in the army."

Qi Jiguang said: "The general knows of course, but please rest assured, since the general is willing to issue a military order, he has enough confidence to complete the matter."

Gongsun Xu nodded, it is a good thing that Qi Jiguang is willing to issue a military order, at least there is such a knife hanging above Qi Jiguang's head, and Qi Jiguang cannot be sloppy in the slightest.I believe that in this state, I should be able to see this tiger dragon army soon.

Gongsun Xu actually has many development plans for the water army. The first is the conventional water army, which can fight in large rivers, and can also transport troops extremely quickly along the river to achieve unexpected results. , and Gan Ning's Jinfan Army is such a navy.

The second is the amphibious army. Such an army is capable of both water warfare and land warfare, because sometimes the water army not only needs to fight on the water, but also land operations.And now Qi Jiguang is about to form the tiger and dragon army that is an amphibious combat unit.

The third is the navy, which is different from the navy. The goal of the navy is no longer the rivers and rivers in the thirteen states of the world, but the vast ocean.And since it is a navy, the ships used are naturally not the ones used now. In any case, it is necessary to have a boat or even a large ship to fight freely at sea and to conquer the vast ocean through the turbulent waves.However, with Yan's current shipbuilding technology, it is still impossible to manufacture large-scale ships that can sail freely on the sea without fear of wind and waves, so the navy Gongsun Xu cannot be formed yet.

Of course, Gongsun Xu has no plans to form a navy. One is because of the problem of shipbuilding technology, and the other is because of the scarcity of generals in the navy under Gongsun Xu. Now, Gan Ning and Qi Jiguang are the only ones who can take charge of the navy in Yan State. Now Gan Ning needs to be in charge of the Jinfan Army, and Qi Jiguang needs to be in charge of the Hujiao Army, so no one is suitable for the navy commander.

For these reasons, Gongsun Xu has no plans to form a navy for the time being, but when the shipbuilding technology of Yan State is improved in the future, and ships that can sail freely on the sea and are not afraid of wind and waves, then the formation of this navy can also be put forward The schedule is up, but right now the navy is not the main development direction of Gongsun Xu.

There are few big rivers in the north, and the battles in the north rely more on cavalry and infantry. There are very few places where the navy can be used. The reason why Gongsun Xu wanted to build the Yan State Navy was also to attack the south in the future. prepare for.Although Cao Cao unified the entire north in history, but because he did not have a navy under his command, he could only rely on Pang Tong's strategy to carry out the iron chain boats during the Battle of Chibi, so that Zhou Yu finally torched Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops What is burned is throwing away armor and armor, and losing soldiers and generals.

Gongsun Xu will not make such a mistake, so Gongsun Xu attaches great importance to the navy, which is also an extremely important arm in the country of Yan. Gongsun Xu's emphasis on the navy is not lower than that of cavalry and infantry.It's just that the biggest problem with the Yan State's navy is that there are too few generals in Yan State who are good at water warfare.

Chapter 649 Ready to Leave Qingzhou

After assigning missions to Gan Ning and Qi Jiguang, Gongsun Xu left the navy training base and returned to Huang County. After that, Gongsun Xu returned with Su Lie, Xie An, Changsun Wuji and others. Linzi city.Ten days after Gongsun Xu assigned Gan Ning a mission, Gan Ning asked Qi Jiguang to select 3000 people from the Ten Thousand Jinfan Army to become the backbone of the new Tiger Dragon Army.

Since the purpose of the Hujiao Army is to fight on land and water, Qi Jiguang not only paid attention to the water quality when selecting these 3000 people, but also paid more attention to the combat effectiveness of these people on land.After being picked up by Qi Jiguang to take away 3000 people, Gan Ning took the [-] soldiers of the Jinfan Army and set off from Huang County along the coastal area to the sea outside Yangzhou.

After Gan Ning and the Qiqian Jinfan Army left, Qi Jiguang first began to train the 2000 Jinfan Army selected by him, or it should be called the [-] Tiger Dragon Army now.At the same time, [-] people began to be recruited in Qingzhou to make up for the gap in the establishment of the Hujiao Army.

Afterwards, Gongsun Xu visited the training of the Wind Leopard Army in Qingzhou under the leadership of Su Lie. After that, he asked Yuwen Chengdu and Jia Fu to have a competition on the school ground of the Wind Leopard Army. Or Yuwen Chengdu's strength can only be exploded when fighting on the real battlefield. Although this school field competition is exciting to watch, neither Jia Fu nor Yuwen Chengdu has exploded. It was Yuwen Chengdu's master move, who suppressed Jia Fu by virtue of his divine power, and Jia Fu was defeated.

However, although Jia Fu was defeated by Yuwen Chengdu, he was not discouraged. On the contrary, he was even more enthusiastic about fighting. Yuwen Chengdu is now privately known as the number one general in the Yan State Army. He has always respected the strong, so although this Yuwen Chengdu is said to be from Xianbei, Yuwen Chengdu's reputation among the Yan army is not low at all.

After inspecting the training of the Wind Leopard Army, Gongsun Xu began to return to Yecheng. After all, although the military and political affairs of Yan State were handled well after the alliance of several ministers left behind by Gongsun Xu, it was still a matter of course. In this way, Gongsun Xu still has to receive urgent mail from Yecheng every day, and there are always some things that need to be seen by Gongsun Xu in person before he can draw a conclusion.
