Chapter 149: As expected of Prime Minister Cao(1/2)
After the decision on the horse farm was made, Xing Daorong felt relieved, and the next thing was another matter.
"My Lords!"
Looking at the dozen generals kneeling on the left, Xing Daorong asked:
"I want to establish a naval army in the Xiang River for future use. Who can take up this position?"
Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Shamoke, Chen Ying, Liu Pan, Bao Long and other generals below looked at each other after hearing this, but none of them left the list.
Seeing this, Xing Daorong's heart skipped a beat.
"Isn't there anyone under my command good at naval forces?"
It seems to be so!
In the system, none of the following military generals on the attribute panel have a navy mark.
After a while, no one answered.
Xing Daorong sighed helplessly in secret.
"Which general is good at water? You can choose a water-knowing soldier to train first. If it is effective, it is a credit!"
I had no choice but to lower my requirements and encourage me with credit.
As soon as these words were said, several generals immediately became tempted.
Xing Daorong has extremely strict requirements on promotions within the army and will never promote them without credit. Therefore, credit has always been the hottest thing.
Although no one can understand the large-scale naval army training, most people in the south know about water, and many people can do it simply by training soldiers on sailboats.
"Master!"
After a while, a general of the general stood up and bowed and said:
"I have been practicing water since I was a child. Although I am not proficient in military formation training, I have this confidence in training soldiers to fight on the water. I would like to ask my lord for an order!"
Subsequently, several other generals left the list, all of whom said the same words and did not dare to do a big show, but the initial training of the navy's fighting ability was fine.
Seeing this, Xing Daorong nodded.
That's fine!
There are many rivers in the south, and it is very troublesome to have no naval army.
No matter how good the combat effectiveness is, just practice first!
At that moment, Xing Daorong appointed the first deputy general to speak as the naval commander, and the rest of the people were deputy commanders. He went back to select the Huishui soldiers in the army and established naval commander training.
Because I can't trust them very much, I will only give them five thousand places for the time being.
After barely dealing with the navy, Xing Daorong disbanded everyone, leaving only Jiang Wan, Liu Ba and Liu Yong.
"Zi Chu!"
Xing Daorong looked at Liu Ba first and asked:
"It has been nearly half a year since Seizuo went to the north to investigate. Did you know the situation of Cao Cao in the north?"
Since you have the heart of a king and domineering person, you naturally have to master the news of the world.
Since Xing Daorong traveled through time, he has been ignorant of the situation of Cao Cao in the north and has many concerns in his heart, so he asked this question at this moment.
"Have it!"
Liu Ba bowed and said:
"During the Chinese New Year, most of the scholars who went to the north came back. After Ba summarized it, he knew the general form of the north!"
"oh?"
Xing Daorong was happy when he heard this and hurriedly said:
"Zi Chu, let's talk quickly!"
"Here!"
Liu Ba bowed his hand to the courtesy, and then told Xing Daorong, Jiang Wan and Liu Yong one by one to him.
It turned out that after the defeat of Chibi last year, Ma Teng and Han Sui, northwest, led the cavalry of Xiliang to the south, successively defeated Longxi and Tianshui, and the troops were directly aimed at Yongzhou and Chang'an.
Fortunately, Chang'an had the prefect Zhong Yao stationed, and finally blocked the Xiliang cavalry.
Cao Cao sent generals Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He to Chang'an to support him. The two sides fought under Chang'an City for nearly a year before retreating in winter.
Last summer, the Gongsun family, which was entrenched in the northeast, defeated Goguryeo, which was provoking the border under the command of Gongsun Kang.
He also took advantage of the situation to capture the capital of the country, and at the same time attacked North Korea, Mahan, and subjugated Fuyu, which greatly boosted its reputation in Liaodong.
At the same time, Gongsun Kang developed ambitions for the Central Plains. In late summer and early autumn, his troops left the Central Plains and entered Youzhou.
Cao Cao had no choice but to resist Ma Teng of Xiliang and sent general Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin to go east to Youzhou to resist Gongsun Kang.
As the house was leaking, the Qiang, Hu and the Southern Xiongnu in the north joined forces to send troops, and captured half of Bingzhou in one fell swoop, directly threatening Xudu's safety.
At this time, Cao Cao personally led his troops and Xu Du set out, crossed Luoyang, fought with Qianghu, and the Southern Xiongnu in Bingzhou.
For a time, the northern border war continued.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao did not have any extra troops to aid Zhang Liao, and allowed Sun Quan's 300,000 troops to encircle Hefei.
It can be said that after the defeat of Chibi last year, Cao Cao experienced a thrilling year and fought everywhere!
Fortunately, a few years ago, Wuhuan, who was entrenched in Youzhou, had been defeated by Zhang Liao and rushed to the northern grassland. Otherwise, Cao Cao would have been even more troublesome at that time!
Even so, Prime Minister Cao is Prime Minister Cao.
After winter began, Ma Teng, Xiliang, could no longer bear it. Zhong Yao used a plan to cut off the supply of food and grass, and had to abandon Chang'an and leave.
Afterwards, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He led their troops to chase and seize Longxi and Tianshui, and then returned victoriously.
When Gongsun Kang saw that Ma Teng retreated, he could not defeat Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin, so he retreated back to Liaodong.
In comparison, the Qiang, Hu and Southern Xiongnu were a little troublesome.
When Cao Cao first arrived in Bingzhou, he quickly used a brief plan to encircle and annihilate several grassland cavalry.
However, all the cavalry of the Qiang Hu and the Southern Xiongnu came and went like the wind. Most of the cavalry under Cao Cao were handed over to Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, and for a moment, there was no way to deal with the Qiang Hu and the Southern Xiongnu.
Therefore, until now, Cao Cao is still fighting against the Qianghu and the Southern Xiongnu in Bingzhou.
"What a Cao Mengde!"
After listening to Liu Ba's explanation, Xing Daorong secretly admired Cao Cao.
It's not a pity that it's Prime Minister Cao.
He was defeated by Chibi, but he could quickly block Sun and Liu from the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, he could also attack Gongsun in the east, retreat to Ma Teng in the west, and even go north to resist the Qianghu and the Southern Xiongnu.
The Battle of Hefei even defeated Sun Quan’s 300,000 troops!
Under the same conditions, it is admirable to be able to do this!
However, hearing that Prime Minister Cao was so busy, Xing Daorong felt relieved.
very good!
No matter what, Prime Minister Cao can't control the south.
As long as you give me enough time, I will definitely make Prime Minister Cao look at me with admiration!
At the same time, he finally understood Cao Cao's current situation.
Although it unified the northern Central Plains and occupied the richest land in the world, there were countless enemies around it.
Just the rest, Gongsun Kang from Liaodong attracted Xing Daorong's attention.
Defeat Goguryeo and then take the opportunity to capture its capital. This behavior is almost the same as that of destroying Goguryeo!
They also attacked North Korea's Mahan at the same time, intimidating the Fuyu Kingdom. In the Northeast and later Korean Peninsula, they were extremely powerful and unrivaled!
Later generations did not describe the Gongsun family much, and there was even less writing in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
But Xing Daorong once looked up the information of the Gongsun family because of curiosity, and then he realized that the Gongsun family in the Three Kingdoms era was really amazing!
In the early years, Gongsun Kang's father, Gongsun Du, served as the governor of Jizhou. During the reign of Dong Zhuo, he was recommended as the prefect of Liaodong by Xu Rong, and then began the Gongsun family's arrogant journey to the Northeast king.
After taking office as Liaodong County, Gongsun Du quickly established his prestige and then sent troops to attack Goguryeo.
In the Battle of Goguryeo, he defeated Gongsun Du and then served him. The domestic troops were used by Gongsun Du.
Soon, he defeated Wuhuan many times, defeated the eastern and western realms of Liao, and joined Xuantu in the east and Lelang.
He even sent people to sea and occupied part of the Japanese territory!
For a time, all the barbarians around fell to Gongsun Du's feet. The Gongsun family became the overlord of the entire Northeast Asia and regarded themselves as the "King of Liaodong".
After Gongsun Du, he was the era when his two sons Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong and grandson Gongsun Yuan were in charge of the Northeast. He was not a good man and he beat the barbarians around him to obey!
When Xing Daorong saw this, he was very impressed.
Unexpectedly, the Gongsun family, which was ignored by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", still has such a brilliant history!
However, I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe it’s because I have been in charge of the Northeast for too long and forgot the power of the Central Plains. Gongsun Yuan later provoked Cao Wei!
