Chapter 4235: follow-up arrangements

In fact, Fa Zheng and Xu Shu also tended to cultivate their health and rest. If they continued to fight, their own state would be in trouble, and as the soldiers became more fatigued due to repeated battles, the details that needed to be considered during the battle would become more and more serious. as much.

The top advisers will also be dragged to death by these details. If there is a choice, Fazheng, Xu Shu and others also want to go into battle lightly. After all, these burdens will affect the combat ability and mentality. Do not recite.

Why is it said that Huangfusong was the number one famous general in the late Han Dynasty? Isn’t it because Huangfusong carried a lot of negativity when playing the Yellow Turban, such as corruption and bribery, lack of logistics, insufficient equipment, and eunuchs coming Strike the autumn wind, where warlords fight against each other and do not cooperate, etc.

You must know that even in the last years of the dynasty, just before the dynasty collapsed, the power and capital held by the heirs of the dynasty were far greater than any reckless way, but the reason for the collapse of the dynasty was almost irreversible. .

What makes Huangfusong so powerful is that this guy really ate a bunch of debuffs from the last years of the dynasty, and then resisted these things to kill the main force of the Yellow Turban.

But if there is a choice, Huangfusong definitely doesn't want to fight with other people's main force with so many gadgets. If he really wants to be able to go into battle lightly, he only thinks about the battlefield, isn't it good?

Fazheng and Xu Shu also have the same attitude now. They have already begun to consider the status of the soldiers. Although the Han Dynasty is tired, Guishuang's soldiers are even more tired, but since you can't kill Guishuang in one go, you can only accept the rice. Eat this reality in one bite.

After the generals were ordered to disperse, apart from Liu Bei's civil servants, only Pang Tong, Li Yan, Jiang Qin, Xu Kun, Huo Jun and other generals and civil servants under Sun Ce remained in the camp.

After all, it was mentioned that Samadha was attacked by Meng Kangbu, so people with a little common sense actually understand that the navy at the mouth of the Ganges must have suffered heavy losses, otherwise it would be impossible for the Guishuang navy to enter the river to attack Samadha.

"May I ask the captain, what's the situation of the navy over the Bay of Bengal? What's the loss?" After the others left, Xu Kun got up and asked directly.

As Sun Jian's nephew and Sun Ce's cousin, he is not bad in himself, and there is a huge Xu family behind him as support. As long as he is still there, he will definitely be a major core of Jiangdong's forces.

In fact, the Jiangdong forces have been criticized for a very important point because the connection between the Jiangdong family is too serious. Even if these people are indeed capable, but to be honest, if the connection is so obvious, if you don’t have Zhou Yu’s ability, others will inevitably I see you through colored glasses.

But Xu Kun spoke at this time, rather than letting other people speak, it was more to prevent others from saying wrong things.

After all, it is now clear that even if the navy is not finished, it is 70% to 80% useless, and the main force of Jiangdong is the navy. It's easy to be unable to get off the stage because of being too extreme for a while, so Xu Kun, who has never had a sense of presence, cut his mouth.

One thing to say here is that besides being Sun Jian's nephew and Sun Ce's cousin, Xu Kun is also Xu Ning's biological brother, that is, the biological uncle of Lu Su's second son.

In fact, according to the situation of the Ji family and the Xu family, Lu Su's eldest son, Ji Xiangsheng's Lu Shu, actually has to be called Uncle Xu Kun. .

So at this time Xu Kun stood up first. If he made a slip of the tongue, Liu Bei would give him some face. If other people slipped, Liu Bei might not be able to take it as if he didn't hear it.

"The information hasn't arrived yet." Liu Bei sighed and said, "The information sent by Wenhe is the integration of the two pieces of information he received. At that time, the situation was urgent, and the navy's intelligence personnel had just arrived, and Sanma and Zha fell. , only simple reports of heavy losses."

"Cai Degui is okay." Xu Kun was helpless, but he suppressed the depression in his heart and asked the most core question.

Although it is said that Cai Mao is a lot of garbage, Cai Mao is still very important to the navy. He is said to be good because Cai Mao is against Zhou Yu's level. In fact, Cai Mao's status in the navy is equivalent to being banned in the army. status.

Ridiculousness is all about ridicule, but one thing to say, this person is still very important. After all, these two people support an important link in the operation of a complete system. Without these two people, it would be fatal.

"It's okay, Cai Degui sent someone to inform the navy about the situation, and asked Samo and Zha to take precautions." Liu Bei couldn't help but glanced at Xu Kun. He could not get angry when such a big thing happened, and it was the characters who thought about what to do next. .

"If this matter involves Cai Degui, please give Cai Degui a chance to make up for his mistakes." Xu Kun bowed down directly, and put other things aside first. The loss of the navy is irretrievable, so try to think about how to operate next.

Obviously, the next thing to do is to reshape the navy, and this requires the help of Cai Mao, even if the navy trained by Cai Mao is lax in combat readiness, garbage in actual combat, inadequate techniques and tactics, and insufficient ship repair capabilities, but at the very least Also the Navy.

From LV0 to LV1 is an improvement in any case, and what Cai Mao did is such a thing. When the main force of the navy is still there, under the natural operation, the importance of Cai Mao is the same thing, but the main force of the navy is finished. Then the importance of Cai Mao has risen sharply.

"Okay." Liu Bei replied directly.

Although Liu Bei said that when he received Jia Xu’s secret report, he wanted to strangle Cai Mao, the admiral guarding the Bay of Bengal, to death, but Jia Xu explained the reasons in detail, and let Liu Bei understand that this matter may not be blamed on Cai Mao’s head. , Meng Kangbu was dispatched after the main force was changed, and no one except Zhou Yu could change the result.

Of course, this is not the reason why you were defeated and could still be forgiven. If you really want to talk about the reason, it is actually what Jia Xu said clearly in the secret report - if you kill Cai Mao, Zhou Yu will have to live in Ye Tiaoguo for three years. The navy is training nearby, but they can’t move. The Indian Ocean is left to Mongkangbu’s gallop, and the pressure on their logistics line will increase significantly. If Cai Mao is not killed, Zhou Yu can at least move.

Zhou Yu's navy is completely paralyzed, and Zhou Yu still has manpower to barely drive a seventh-generation ship in the Indian Ocean. It's really two different things.

Facing the former, after Meng Kangbu studied how Zhou Yu drove the seventh-generation ship into the Ganges, Meng Kangbu definitely dared to enter the Ganges, but if it was replaced by the latter, Meng Kangbu could not touch the Bay of Bengal at all.

Therefore, Liu Bei resolutely gave up killing Cai Mao, a guy who lost his army and lost his general, and he didn't even plan to seize the title and dismiss him. After all, whether Zhou Yu can move really has a big impact.

"How many navies are there at Ye Tiao?" Liu Bei didn't hide his attitude. Cai Mao's handling Liu Bei respected Jiang Dong's meaning, that is, to remove Cai Mao from his post, but since there was no better candidate, Cai Mao took the lead temporarily , Wait until there is a better candidate in the future, it can be regarded as an explanation for both parties.

But Cai Mao had to look forward after this incident, at least let Zhou Yu lead the navy to appear in the Indian Ocean, this is the most important thing.

"There are still 43,000 people in the naval reserve, but these talents have completed the first and second phases of General Cai's training. In fact, there are very few truly qualified navies." Pang Tong said with a sigh. He also believed that Xu Kun's choice was right. It is impossible not to protect Cai Mao, even if Cai has such a big trouble, he must keep the other party, save Cai Mao, in order to protect the interests of everyone in Jiangdong.

What, no one thinks that Jiangdong’s interests are the islands in Southeast Asia. Jiangdong’s interests are actually the main fleet that can suppress the world’s navy. Without this thing, the other party will cut off the transportation line for you, and squat on the island Wait till you die.

Therefore, Jiangdong people are more active than Liu Bei in keeping the navy.

"There is no need to worry about warships. As long as your navy is in place, the warships will be in place quickly." Liu Bei nodded and said. The shipyards of the Han Dynasty can now produce a lot of quasi-seventh-generation ships a year, but the navy has been in place for years. There was a lot of losses in the war, and there was no way for the shipyard to continue building warships. In fact, the shipyard is now mainly building civilian ships.

"We will do our best in this regard." Xu Kun said helplessly. It is good news that the battleship is okay, but the problem is people.

In the past, Xu Kun didn't think there was any problem with the navy. When he was in the Yangtze River, he didn't think that the navy needed much technology.

After they really went to sea, Jiangdong people discovered that a navy soldier didn't talk about basic skills such as combat skills, swimming, anti-seasickness, and anti-storm.

At the very least, you need to learn to observe the wind and waves, make a rough positioning, and move quickly on the turbulent deck caused by the chaotic waves. You also need to have certain mechanical repair capabilities, and have a deep understanding of the ship's structure to ensure that when there is a small problem with the ship, Know which position to fix first etc.

What, there is a big problem with the ship. There is a professional damage control team for the big problem. This team is all elites, and they are also the group of people that Chen Xi wanted to recruit as technicians before. Although the team also suffered heavy losses this time.

In fact, there is a prerequisite for these professionals, which is literacy and drawing, and they can distinguish and analyze the basic three-view when they get the parts. These people can be regarded as elites in this era.

However, the requirements are so high, that is to say, the damage control team. For ordinary teams, Cai Mao's set of training methods for the first, second and third periods should be taught almost once, and then it depends on individual efforts.

To put it simply, graduating from the naval training base is just the beginning, because how to use and apply this knowledge in an urgent environment is also a problem in the real war.

At present, Cai Mao’s training method is similar to the basic skills taught in the first and second phases. In the third phase, the shipboarding drills, the old will bring the new, and then try to dig the ship. In the case of digging the ship, the observers observed that there are pirate ships dozens of miles away. , After a wave of passing, most of them were sent back to the first and second rounds for retraining.

Of course, after such a wave, those who may become elites will be screened out, but this is also very troublesome.

What's even worse is that this is because the Han Dynasty is rich and powerful, otherwise it can only be piled up like Guishuang for decades, slowly grinding out a complete system, and then the cycle continues without the system being severely damaged .

Therefore, the formation speed of the navy is actually very terrible. After such a wave of paralysis, the Han army has to slow down, but fortunately, there are backups. With the backup, at least it can function.

"You don't have to worry about the fleet." Liu Bei said calmly, "There are a number of warships in reserve, but no one has been using them."

Chuan and others This is the real situation of the Han Dynasty at present. Similarly, if Guishuang hadn’t been cut off from the shipbuilding industry by the Han Dynasty, they would not have been blinded by Kangbu. When Sailian was, it is estimated that they would have been in the seventh generation.

But it is useless to think about the seventh-generation ship of Celian. Zhou Yu's last battle style, Celian is dead anyway, so it is not the way to fight the fleet, and properly attack Celian!

"The navy's reconnaissance technology and intelligence network need to be strengthened." Liu Bei warned Pang Tong and others very cautiously.

After all, what is going on in this battle, Liu Bei can roughly see it from Jia Xu. If there is no navy in the Bay of Bengal, Chen Chi will definitely be stationed at the mouth of the Ganges River, so that no matter what, there will be no troubles. The extent to which Zha was hit by the three cannons and flew away from the city wall.

At this point in the review, the civil servants in the Han Dynasty knew very well that it was not so much a surprise attack by Meng Kangbu as the fact that the Han army was indeed negligent. The defenses were not carried out according to the state during the war.

Of course, it is undeniable that even with such precautions, Cai Mao still cannot defeat Meng Kangbu, but at least he will not suffer such heavy losses. .

What the Han Dynasty is most afraid of now is actually the loss of personnel. If the ship is gone, it will be rebuilt. There is no problem in replacing it for you once a year. In the case of choice, it is still a guarantor.

"When General Sun and Dudu Zhou come back, if Zichuan is still in Ganges, I will meet General Sun and Dudu Zhou with Zichuan." Liu Bei said sincerely.

Pang Tong and the others nodded. Liu Bei was already very sincere, because once Liu Bei and Chen Xi met Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in person, they would be able to talk about many things, and they would be able to easily fill in any needs. There were many things that they could not say at this level. That level is easy to say.

"Just wait for the good news. I believe that General Sun and Zhou Yu will bring good news." Liu Bei said gently to the few people present, and everyone present nodded. In fact, they all believed that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would win this battle. .

However, how should I put it, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did win the battle of Qunvcheng, but on the way back, they had to face the elite cavalry led by Weisudeva I with a tired army.
