"As for the navy, how is the situation now? Jiang

Ni asked again.

Cao Changqing reported truthfully:

"The naval force has now been built on a large scale. A few days ago, under the command of General Zhou, the Qingzhou navy was defeated head-on on the Yangtze River."

"Counting the part of the Qingzhou navy that had just been captured and collected, there are now hundreds of thousands of them."

"Now that the Qingzhou navy has been defeated, there is no opponent in the entire Yangtze River waters."

Hearing Cao Changqing's words, all the civil and military officials present immediately turned their attention to an elegant young man standing in the queue of military generals.

This man was the General Zhou whom Cao Changqing just mentioned. He would be known as"Beautiful Zhou" in later generations. Zhou Yu, who is known as"Long".

Ever since he saw Li Jing's talent in commanding troops, Cao Changqing has paid more attention to the talents of other dynasties.

Through Jiang Ni's mouth, he obtained some talents from other dynasties from Ye Chen. After making the list, Cao Changqing began to try every means to recruit.

Zhou Yu was recently recruited by Cao Changqing from the Han Dynasty.

In addition to Zhou Yu, there are also Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning and other generals. Talents are all serving in the Chu army now.

The military generals are full of talents, and the 11 civil servants are naturally not weak at all. The person standing in the third position behind Cao Changqing is the man who took the initiative to find it from the Han Dynasty with Guo Jia Xueyue City, Xun Yu came here again from Xueyue City.

As for Guo Jia, naturally as a military advisor at this time, he was following Li Jing to make plans on the front line.

And standing in front of Xun Yu was The talents cultivated by Duke Nan of Chu during the Great Qin Dynasty were Xiao He, one of the future Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty.

"very good!"

Jiang Ni nodded with appreciation and said:

"Appointed Zhou Yu as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and commanded the entire Navy military affairs."

"From now on, he will lead the navy to patrol the Yangtze River and blockade the entire south bank of the Yangtze River!"

"The general takes command!"

Zhou Yu came out and kowtowed with excitement.

Zhou Yu's original scope of authority was actually more about the right to train the navy.

In the past, it was also because of the vacancies in the navy that he could temporarily lead the navy in combat. Opportunity.

Now he has been promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, taking charge of all affairs of the Navy. This is almost a step to the top.

Even in the entire military commander system, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy is definitely one of the best.

"Don’t get close to the area around Emperor Wu City for the time being."

"When King Jingan fled east, he must have asked for protection from King Xianzhi of Emperor Wu City."

"It is not yet time to turn against Emperor Wu City."

Jiang Ni said to Zhou Yu again

"You will eventually understand!"

Zhou Yu responded with cupped fists.

"Sister Ye, how is the situation over there in Baidi City?"

After the naval matters were arranged, Jiang Ni turned to look at Xu Weixiong (Ye Qingmei) and asked

"Report back to Your Majesty!"

Xu Weixiong stepped out of the queue and reported:

"King Yan Chi has been mobilizing troops frequently recently, and now more than 100,000 soldiers and horses have gathered more than ten miles outside Baidi City."

"However, there are no signs of attacking Baidi City yet."

This is exactly the reason why Xu Weixiong came back this time.

King Yanchi had 200,000 troops to guard Jiaozhou, but now he suddenly mobilized most of the troops to gather near Baidi City. The purpose is already very obvious.

On the Chu State side, Baidi There are now 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Imperial City, which is naturally enough for defense. However, we still need to be prepared in case of accidents.

And according to the previously deployed strategy, Chu State does not have to be on the defensive all the time in the direction of Baidi City. posture, but to use this as a basis to continue to expand outward.

"King Yanchi!"

"It seems that this person is not willing to keep a low profile! Jiang

Ni frowned slightly and said:

"Uncle Qizhao, how many soldiers do we have that we can mobilize now?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cao Changqing replied:

"Reporting back to Your Majesty, after the good news came from the front line, the people's mood to join the army was extremely high."

"However, in order to ensure manpower for farming, only 20,000 new troops were recruited."

"Including the soldiers brought by General Ji Bu from Daqin a few days ago, the total number is fifty thousand."

Having said this, Cao Changqing paused for a moment and then continued:

"However, there is a serious shortage of weapons and armor for these 50,000 soldiers, so……"

"Don't worry about weapons and armor, there will be 100,000 sets of elite weapons and armor sent from the Sui Dynasty soon."

Jiang Ni said slowly, but the wrinkles on her brows still did not go away.

Because these 50,000 soldiers alone were not enough to break the situation on the battlefield of Baidi City.

And it is absolutely impossible for the Chu State to deploy other soldiers now. The soldiers died.

In fact, speaking of it, the Chu State now only occupies the state of Shu, but supports an army of 500,000. It can no longer be described as a military force. If any force hears this number, it will definitely They all thought they were absolutely crazy.

You must know that Xu Xiao exhausted the three states of Beiliang and could only support 300,000 soldiers and horses.

No matter how rich the Shu land was, it was impossible to support an army of 500,000 people..

That is to say, it is because the Chu State already has the foundation of the past, coupled with the continuous supply of food and logistic support from Xueyue City and the Xuanyuan family, that it is possible to form the current situation.

Even so, the half-million-strong army has already It’s the limit.

The biggest problem is population.

If the 310 conscription continues, there will really be no people left to farm.

"Then……"

Just when Jiang Ni was about to say something, a guard hurried in from outside and reported:

"Your Majesty, General Yue is outside asking for an audience!"

"Um?"

After hearing the guard's report, Jiang Ni was slightly surprised and then said:

"General Xuanyue comes in! A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing black armor and a weathered face walked into the hall, bowed to Jiang Ni and said:

"Yue Fei thanks Your Majesty for your life-saving grace!"

"General Yue, there is no need to be polite. Get up quickly."

"I don’t know if General Yue is coming……"

Jiang Ni waved her hand and said.

Yue Fei kowtowed again with a solemn expression and said:[]

"There is no way to repay the life-saving grace. Yue Fei is willing to die for the Chu Kingdom from now on!"

As soon as Yue Fei said this, Jiang Ni stood up with a happy face and said:

"Welcome General Yue to join the Chu Kingdom!"

Cao Changqing and other civil and military officials are also overjoyed.

Everyone has heard of Yue Fei's name.

The military god of the Song Dynasty!

His reputation in the Song Dynasty is no worse than that of Wu'an in the Qin Dynasty. Jun Baiqi.

He led the Yue Family Army to guard the border of the Song Dynasty for more than ten years, preventing the Yuan and Meng Dynasties from daring to cross the Leichi.
