After the Battle of Jiujiang, the Jiangxia navy mobilized by Zhou Yu followed Gan Ning's navy without fighting. They just followed from a distance and stopped even if you stopped. Finally, they chased Gan Ning and his party to the estuary of the Yangtze River to join Cabbage. , and then Jiangxia Navy slowly turned around and left, and Gan Ning and Chen Xi also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Every time they saw the enemy's naval forces bearing a unified cloud, Gan Ning and Chen Xi, the four legionnaires, one large, three small, and small, felt helpless. That kind of majestic military appearance, a mere cold mist, etc. had no effect at all. Sure enough, most of them In addition to the additional special effects, spiritual talents are more about surprise.
"We finally left. I thought the other party was really going to fight us." Chen Xi took a breath and said while holding on to the edge of the boat.
"Jiangxia Navy is so powerful!" Gan Ning exclaimed.
"Instruct Zilong and his uncle to return to Xiapi, Xuzhou, and continue to station and train troops. Xuzhou plain is vast. Let Zilong select soldiers and train the cavalry. It is best to train more at the junction of Xiapi, Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Let unclezhi also Strengthen the training of Danyang soldiers, station in Xuzhou, and be on guard." Seeing that it was safe now, Chen Xi felt relieved and ordered people to inform Zhao Yun and Chen Dao who had been ambushing on the shore.
"Ships are only part of the factor, but our Lu family will try our best to do better." Lu Jun was also frightened by the military strength of the Jiangxia navy. There is always a huge gap between thieves and regular soldiers.
"Leave the soldiers to me. The sense of mental oppression is worthy of the elite soldiers specially selected by Zhou Gongjin." Gan Ning looked back at the Jiangxia navy that was about to disappear into the horizon and said with a little envy.
"The formation of the Jiangxia Navy was a long time ago. Moreover, after Zhou Gongjin defeated Huang Zu, he took over 90% of the navy, and selected the most elite from the Jiangxia Navy and the thousands of thieves he led at that time. Eight thousand sailors and training. If it is not to this level, I would still doubt it." Chen Xi comforted a few people with a smile.
Although Huang Zu was a good general in water battles, it was a pity that he met Zhou Yu at the beginning. Moreover, Huang Zu deceived Zhou Yu because he was young and did not take Zhou Yu into his heart. He did not want to be defeated by Zhou Yu, and then he became angry from shame. After repeated defeats, Zhou Yu worked hard and did not give Huang Zu a chance to breathe. Kill it directly!
The entire Jiangxia navy did not suffer much losses in those battles, but the commander died. Most of them were taken over by Zhou Yu and the elites were selected. Then he persuaded the other soldiers to retreat to the Yangtze River water bandits. Zhou Yu relied on this method to control most of the Yangtze River bandit groups, and Sun Cejun's actual power began to expand. Otherwise, Zhou Yu would not be able to control the Yangtze River just by talking in vain.
"Huh, let him be proud for a few years first. I, Gan Xingba, will come to the Yangtze River to fight with him in a few years!" Gan Ning looked at the Jiangxia navy that had almost disappeared on the horizon and said with a sneer. Zhou Yu's military strength was so powerful He was envious. So he also plans to move closer to that height.
"You must have such courage, come on. Xingba, I will give you a certain tilt when you need it." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Our navy can't be weaker than their Sun family, right?"
While Chen Xi was encouraging Gan Ning, Sima Lang had already passed through his hometown in Hanoi and arrived at Chang'an, the current imperial capital of the Han Dynasty.
Looking at the blood-stained city wall, Sima Lang couldn't help but feel a little bitter. The black and red blood stains on the lower layer of the city wall were already mottled, but Sima Lang still understood that that was the place where Situ Wang Yun jumped, a place that made the world loyal. Zhishi can't help but feel chilled every time he thinks about it.
[Our Sima family has also been loyal to this dynasty. This extremely powerful dynasty once conquered the world. Unfortunately, in the end, it cannot escape the sun and the moon. Guangwu is still Wang Mang. ] Sima Lang thought silently.
Sima Lang drove the carriage and paid for the city entry, and then entered Li Jue's mansion with a greeting card.
"Sima Lang in Hanoi has seen the general Chariot and Cavalry." Sima Lang smiled and made Li Jue feel the goodwill coming towards him.
"Sit down, sit down, nephew Sima, you don't have to be polite, your Majesty is so kind." Li Jue smiled brightly and ordered the person to sit down, "I don't know if my nephew is not studying in Hanoi, but he has something important to come to Chang'an. We haven't seen each other for several years. , Prime Minister Dong was still here, but now, alas! My wise nephew is willing to become an official, and my chariot general's palace happens to be short of a commander." Li Jue said with a double entendre.
It can be said that when Dong Zhuo was still alive, he had no deep connection with the Sima family. Dong Zhuo even wanted to clean up the Sima family. However, after meeting Sima Lang, he suddenly remembered his dead son and sighed in his heart. He went to find trouble with Sima Fang, but instead took care of him.
"Thank you for your kindness, general. Boda is very grateful. Now that I have completed my further training, I am grateful to the general for not giving up." Sima Lang flattered Li Jue, "But I came to Chang'an this time to thank you for your kindness."General, please help me with something? "
"Tell me about it." Seeing Sima Lang agree, Li Jue asked with a smile.
"My second brother Sima Zhongda, who is fifteen years old, went out to travel and lost it" Sima Lang said with some embarrassment, and then blushed just right, "I would also like to ask the general to help find it."
"Hahahaha, I will take care of this trivial matter." Li Jue laughed and said, "Don't worry, there will be news soon."
"Thank you so much, General." Sima Lang leaned down and saluted, then stood up and said, "Lang entered the door before. I saw General's expression was gloomy, and he felt worried when he thought about it. Can you tell me something? Lang once heard someone say that one person can be short-changed, and two people can't. Chief, if the general is trustworthy, you can tell me. The general and I will work it out. Maybe the general will have new ideas based on the analogy. "
Li Jue thought for a while and felt that Sima Lang's words were reasonable, so he said, "Well, Boda, you don't know. This Sili is broken. In addition, due to the excessive use of weapons and soldiers before, we don't have much food in hand. A Duo, Fan Chong , Lao Zhang asked me for food, but I have food for them!¡±
Li Jue explained the matter in detail, and Sima Lang immediately understood the cause and effect. There was a large amount of surplus grain that Dong Zhuo had plundered, and the Xiliang soldiers could still survive by plundering everywhere.
It's a pity that a long-lasting confrontation with Ma Teng cost too much food. There was not much food left in the mountain, but it was absolutely impossible to ask Li Jue to reduce his Xiliang soldiers, but he did not reduce them. If so, there won¡¯t even be enough food.
"So that's the case, why not negotiate peace with Ma Teng?" Sima Lang asked tentatively, "Although this method is detrimental to dignity, it is the fastest solution."
"I'm afraid it won't work. The two bastards Ma Shoucheng and Han Wenyue are now gritting their teeth and trying to drag us to death! Now let's see who can't help it!" Li Jue said in an extremely unhappy tone. (To be continued)
