Chapter 257: Chaisang Water Army

Zang Ba calculated carefully and said happily: "Brother, if we arrange this, we will have 160,000 troops just for the military farm soldiers. This is a big number."

Jia Xu smiled, "General Xuan Gao, the main reason for marching and combat is to trained soldiers, experienced generals, and the general who are strategizing. The number of people is an important factor, but it is definitely not the main factor. In Xu's opinion, these 160,000 military farming soldiers, half trained and half farming, have far less combat effectiveness than the army subordinates of the generals. In the future, they will still rely on their elite soldiers."

Zhou Yu added: "Mr. Wenhe said this very much. Although there are many military soldiers, due to their limited training level, they cannot become the main force of the war. I also plan to have a competition between them and divide each thousand military soldiers into a small battalion, each with a thousand military commander. Which small battalion is not only good at farming, but also training can keep up with the main force, so I will transfer this small battalion into the main force. In addition, all the supplementary personnel needed by the main force after the battle will be selected from the military soldiers in various places. In this way, there is also hope for the military soldiers. After all, the treatment of the main force is much better than that of the military soldiers."

Chen Gong beat the clan and said, "Compet with each other? This is really a good idea. Just a small method can give the 160,000 military soldiers a direction of effort and motivation. And they are the reserve army of our entire main force. According to my experience, if the two armies are in equal battle, the strength of the reserve army will often determine the success or failure of the war."

Gan Ning stopped doing it, opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Yu, protesting: "Brother, you can't be biased. The 160,000 military farm soldiers are all reserve troops of infantry. Where is the reserve troops of our navy?"

Zang Ba said, "That's right, brother. The rivers in Jiangdong are crisscrossing and water nets are densely packed. It is the place where the navy army is showing its strength. You must pay attention to the navy army."

Zhou Yu shook the feather fan in his hand and laughed: "I knew you two would be anxious. Just right, I'm going to talk about the navy... By the way, please come to General Zhang Hu and General Chen Sheng..." Zhou Yu turned his head and said to Quan Rou who was standing aside.

Quan Rou agreed and turned around and left. After a while, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng walked in in military uniforms. The man leaned on his clothes and horses and saddles, and after dressing neatly, he looked at the two of them, and they were already full of heroic generals, but their faces were red and the other thick and black, with rough skin. They were obviously blown by the wind.

Seeing Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, Gan Ning jumped up first, laughed out loud, and swung his huge fist and beat them in front of their chests. Gan Ning had a great internal strength, and Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng both felt like they were hit by a hammer, but the two of them remained calm and hugged Gan Ning with laughter.

Gan Ning said happily: "Why are you two here too? Why don't you tell me, the eldest brother?"

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "We have also traveled day and night. We just arrived last night and paid homage to our lord. We got up early this morning and went outside. This is the first time we have seen such a prosperous Moling City."

Gan Ning laughed loudly, his bronze face filled with smiles, "Now we are in the same trench! When we were in Jucha, we were weak, so I felt embarrassed to bring you two over. Now my elder brother has the high-ranking officials of the six counties of Jiangdong, which is enough for you to show off!"

Zhang Hu was a rough man, but he did not forget the etiquette. He bowed to everyone present and said loudly: "We have heard of the great name of Zhou Lang in Jiangdong for a long time. Now we are officially thrown into the lord's tent, and we are so happy. We have never read a book, so don't dislike us."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "All of them are brothers in the same camp, so why don't you say anything about disgusting or not? Come on, let's see the two generals."

After Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng sat down carefully, Zhou Yu saw that they were quite restrained and smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do the two generals think that this place is not as beautiful as the riverside, and they can't let go."

Everyone laughed, Chen Sheng's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Please forgive me, lord, we are used to being free and relaxed on the river. This kind of scene is really~~ I have never experienced it~~~"

Zhou Yu laughed and said loudly: "I'll give you a vast world, and you'll be free." After that, Zhou Yu pointed his hand at a giant silk map hanging on the wall, and the entire six counties in Jiangdong and the adjacent areas were clearly marked.

Zhou Yu took out a slender wooden stick from the table a few times. The stick was made of boxwood. It was smooth and the weight was moderate. Zhou Yu pointed at a place on the map with this stick and said, "This is where you can use your hands and feet."

Gan Ning looked carefully and couldn't help but smile: "Peng Lize? This is a good place. I heard that this is the largest lake in my Han area. I can't see at first glance. Hey~~Brother, what did you ask them to do there?"

Zhou Yu said seriously: "Peng is a big one, Li is a gourd. Penglize is a huge lake that looks like a big one. It is more than 220 miles long from north to south and more than 140 miles wide from east to west. It gathers Ganjiang, Xiushui, Pojiang, Xinjiang, Fuhe and other waters into the Yangtze River through the mouth of the lake. This lake is located in Yuzhang County, connecting the Yangtze River to the north, and Jiangxia County opposite the river is very important. Chaisang, the important town of Yuzhang, is located west of the lake. Especially at Hukou, it connects Penglize with the Yangtze River. It has been a must-fight place for military strategists since ancient times."

Gan Ning slapped his head suddenly and smiled, "I understand, do you want to train the navy there? If our army has a strong navy in Penglize, it can form a strong restraint on the Jingzhou navy, so that they will never dare to harass Lujiang County and Danyang County through the Yangtze River."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "My second brother is indeed smart. My idea is to train a large number of naval troops in Penglize, stationed in Hukou, and curb the Jingzhou naval troops. This deputy burden will be handed over to General Zhang and General Chen."

Seeing that he had just joined Zhou Yu's tent, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were treated with this kind of value. He was happy and quickly stood up and bowed and said, "I will obey the order! Obey the lord's order!"

Zhou Yu picked up a command arrow from the Shuai's desk and said loudly: "Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng obeys the order!"

Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng hurriedly knelt on one knee and replied, "The last one is here!"

Zhou Yu said: "The two generals led their troops to surrender, and they raided the enemy's baggage on the Jiangxia water surface, making their first contribution. Yu was very relieved. Now he appointed Zhang Hu as the captain of Fubo and Chen Sheng as the captain of Pinglang. With more than a thousand people from your two men as the team, he recruited new recruits in the Hukou area, totaling 5,000 people, formed the Chaisang Camp, and was under the jurisdiction of Gan Ning, the commander of Jinfan Army!"
