With the return of the last Yuan army in Yuanshan, the Central Plains has once again entered peace after a year of conquest. However, everyone knows that this peace will not last long. Material resources in Guanzhong are continuously sent out from Hulao Pass and transported to In the Xuzhou area, Gao Shun and Xu Rong were intensively planning a general attack on Cao Cao.
All Cao Cao can do now is to continuously consolidate his own strength, prepare for this final battle, and at the same time strengthen contact with the Sun family.
As for Lu Bu, who was regarded as a great enemy by Cao Cao and Sun Quan, he was living a leisurely life now.
Quanzhou, deep water port.
Lu Bu, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei were sitting by the harbor fishing with fishing rods in their hands. This had become the best way for the three of them to spend their time, and they were basically here every afternoon to evening.
"Lord, you said there is only a little left in the world. I think even if there is no Vulcan cannon, we can just shoot it in. Why wait any longer?" When Dian Wei was looking at the map recently, he felt really uncomfortable looking at the Xuzhou area. , so much territory has been conquered, what’s left of it?
"The power to control the water is not in our hands, and the logistics are not smooth. There are too many variables in attacking at this time. If you are not careful, life will be ruined. It is better to slow down and be safe." Lu Bu was lying on the lounge chair, enjoying the sunlight. Guo Jia was already asleep beside him. , the sunshine in the winter afternoon is the warmest and most comfortable in the day. Sunbathe like this every day, drink a pot of tea, and if you are lucky enough to catch two fish, go back in the evening and let the accompanying cook make a delicious fish soup. It's the ultimate enjoyment.
Looking at these two people who have entered old age early, although Dian Wei also feels that it is very comfortable to bask in the sun at this time, he is so energetic that he cannot lie down and fall asleep like a soft-footed shrimp like Guo Jia, so he can only follow Lu Bu Discuss something you are not very good at.
There's nothing I can do about it, there's nothing to discuss about what I'm good at.
"This is too safe. I don't feel the slightest bit of fighting in this battle!" Dian Wei couldn't accept Lu Bu's theory. This battle was fought like an old man entering the city.
"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. When you are old, don't think about fighting and killing all day long. Xuzhou was slaughtered by Cao Cao in the early years, and its vitality was already damaged. Now that Cao Cao has entered like this, there will definitely be no internal disputes. "Small, if we fight without confidence, we will only increase casualties. We are not fighting to kill people. If we are not sure, we will not move. In fact, as long as Xuzhou is trapped, Xuzhou will be destroyed in two years." Lu Bu glared at Dian Wei. At a glance, this idiot is in his forties, but he is still so irritable.
"Two more years?" Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu in shock.
"That's not necessary. If we really wait two years, Xuzhou... won't have anything left. After a while, after we get the water rights, we can launch a full-scale attack." Lu Bu said with a smile: "The more we get to the end, the more important it becomes. careful."
"At this time, my lord is still afraid of losing?" Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu in confusion. Even if he didn't understand the situation, he could see that Cao Cao and Sun Quanquan were already grasshoppers in the winter and couldn't jump around for much longer. What else was there? What's there to worry about?
"Kill as little as possible. It has been more than twenty years. There is still a little time left. It is only right to sort out the world. When the world is peaceful, there is still a lot to do." Lu Bu looked at He smiled at the scene in front of him and said: "I, the Han Dynasty, should have the appearance of going to the country, and this is not enough."
"How?" Dian Wei asked curiously.
"The sun and the moon shine on me, the rivers do it. When they hear my Han name, everyone respects me. When they see my Han flag, all around the world, everyone worships me!" Lu Bu leaned on the recliner and said leisurely: "No matter what clan in the world, everyone speaks the language of my Han family. , Women of all ethnic groups are proud to marry my Han family, and men of all ethnic groups are proud to join our Chinese family!"
"Not now?" Dianweiqi said.
"Of course not, this world... is very big!" Lu Bu shook his head and sighed. He was a person who had been to the Guixu Land and had seen the vastness of the world. To others, this unification of the world might be the end, but for him Well, it's just the beginning.
Guo Jia on the side woke up at some point and stared blankly at the sky, not even responding to the movement of the fishing rod.
"Oh, the fishing rod moved! What were you thinking?" Dian Wei kicked Guo Jia's recliner.
"You idiot, only the Lord loves you!" Guo Jia rolled his eyes at him and stood up to catch the exhausted fish: "Fishing is also a science. At first, the fish was very strong, but it was not good..."
Seeing Dian Wei easily pick up the hooked fish, the jumping fish seemed very strong, but in Dian Wei's hands, it looked so delicate. Guo Jia was silent. Dian Wei seemed to have no skills. What a difference.
"My lord, General Gan who came from Shu is here!" A personal guard came over and saluted Lu Bu.
"Let him come over." Lu Bu nodded and stretched.
Soon, Gan Ning came over under the leadership of his personal guards.
"Lord, why have you traveled so far to recruit the generals? All troops in Shu have been prepared and are preparing to send troops to Jingzhou. At this time, the generals have been recruited. This..." Gan Ning felt that he had missed a big battle. , even if there are Tai Chi cars along the way, they are not all the way. There is still a long way to run by yourself. By the time I get back, the war may have started over there.
With Jingzhou's current state, I'm afraid it won't be able to last a few rounds. Maybe when I go back, the battle will be over.
"What's the matter? My lord personally ordered you to come here. Have you been wronged?" Dian Wei glanced at the young man and raised his eyebrows.
"You old fat man, you have wronged someone. Is this what I mean?" Gan Ning said angrily.
"Okay, don't argue." Lu Bu waved his hand, signaling the two of them to stop this meaningless quarrel: "I remember Xingba is good at water fighting?"
"That's right." Gan Ning said proudly, "The waterways of my Eight Hundred Jinfan Camp are invincible!"
Sometimes things like talent are really unreasonable. Although he was born in Shu and had never been exposed to water fighting, Gan Ning was very good at this aspect and didn't need much guidance from anyone.
"Do you want to lead a navy across the rivers and seas?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
"Think about it, but it's a pity that the rivers in Shu are too narrow and are not suitable for shipbuilding. We tried to build ships after leaving Yiling, but they were destroyed several times by the Jingzhou Navy and Jiangdong Navy. The last general has discussed with General Wenyuan to capture Jiangling. After that, he will take the Jingzhou Navy's ship for his own use. As long as it is not destroyed by the Jiangdong Navy, when our Vulcan cannon is set up on the shore of Jiangling, the Jiangdong Navy will be finished." Gan Ning said with some excitement. .
Isn't this the only reason he has been in Shu for these years?
"Leave it to Wen Yuan over there." Lu Bu waved his hand.
"My lord, I have been preparing for this day for ten years!" Gan Ning looked at Lu Bu uneasily.
"I know. It's because you are the only one who knows how to fight with water that I recruited you here." Lu Bu nodded, then looked at Dian Wei and said, "Come here."
"Here!" Dian Wei nodded, took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and pulled the lead.
"Whoops~" But he saw a ball of fire exploding in the sky.
"The general is not going anywhere!" Gan Ning has no intention of looking at this kind of thing now. It's just explosives, and it's not like there are none in Sichuan. In order to compete for the Jingzhou Army's navy, or Jingzhou's warships, he has prepared several They were just waiting to seize Jiangling in one go and command the navy across the river. However, Lu Bu summoned him back with an edict. Who could bear this? He said in a low voice: "That is the last ten years of hard work of the general." "My lord, with just one word, the last ten years of hard work will be ruined."
"There are also navy troops here." Lu Bu explained.
"My lord, the Ministry of Industry's methods are very clever, but the so-called "strange lines are like mountains across mountains" will not be looked down upon. The best shipbuilders in the world are either in Jingzhou or Jiangdong. It is very difficult for the Ministry of Industry to build a Tai Chi car. It's awesome, but building a ship is different from building a car." Gan Ning tried to persuade Lu Bu to give up this idea. The Tai Chi car is very good, but it is different from building a ship. You can't make a ship made of iron. ?
"Woo~"
With a long blast, three large ships slowly approached.
"This is the ship we have built over the past year. Now there are only three ships. The navy has trained a lot. There are five thousand sailors. I am going to let you take command." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Three ships?" Gan Ning said a little speechlessly: "My lord, if the three ships are on the water, they may not be able to last even one round before they are pierced by others. Even the five thousand naval troops will not be able to put them down..."
At the end of the sentence, Gan Ning was suddenly stunned. As the three ships approached, the huge size left Gan Ning speechless. A normal ship was only five to six feet long. It is two feet wide. At present, the building boats on the river are all flat-bottomed structures, so they are relatively spacious.
The ship is relatively narrow, about three feet long, but the length of the three ships in front of him is more than ten feet each. The width cannot be seen for the time being. It is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. This is his first ship of this shape. See you once.
Most importantly, this boat is made of iron!
"Drill through?" Dian Wei looked at Gan Ning in surprise, pointed at the ship and said, "Go and try it."
"Don't worry about drilling through. There is an airtight layer underneath this ship. Even if it is drilled through, it doesn't matter." Lu Bu shook his head and said: "The iron ingots produced from the rear can't be sent over, so there are only three ships in more than a year, and every day The ship is about 13 feet long. It can actually be longer, but it is not necessary at the moment. There are twelve Vulcan cannons on the ship, a dedicated fort, and eight crossbow beds. Over the past year or so, some naval forces have been trained , but there is no suitable navy general, so I transferred you from Shu. "
"My lord has a keen eye." Gan Ning smiled quickly.
"But since Xingba wants the Jingzhou navy so much, I'll let you go back. You can also send someone else over." Lu Bu said, stroking his chin.
"My lord, the land of Shu is thousands of miles away. This trip back and forth will be very delayed. The general is willing to command the new army!" Gan Ning Su Rong said.
"But you have worked hard for ten years..." Lu Bu hesitated.
"For the Lord, ten years of hard work is worth nothing?" Gan Ning said loudly: "In the end, I will be willing to destroy the Lord!"
"Don't be too forced." Lu Bu looked at him and said.
"Not at all." Gan Ning said loudly.
"Your integrity!" Dian Wei couldn't stand it anymore.
"Give it to you!"
Dian Wei: "..."
I have never seen such a shameless person!
