Chapter 264: Rushing to Qiongya

After Zhang Lu went, Zhang Wei of the Hanzhong Army asked for surrender, Chen Long successively harvested the military advisor Yan Pu and the general Ma Chao, and the Xiliang Army and the Qinglong Army were officially merged. After the grand merger ceremony, Ma Chao was appointed as the eighth tiger general, general, and the commander of the Sixth Army of the Qinglong Army, and the Xiliang Army also became the sixth main army of the Qinglong Army.

Shamoke's Fifth Army, Wei Yan's Danjiangkou Water Division Corps, and his military advisor Ding Yi just happened to lead his troops to catch up with the combined army. Wei Yan's military advisor Ding Yi heard that the lord had appointed him as the military advisor of the Qinglong Sixth Army and was directly promoted to the rank of deputy army, so he gladly accepted. And Yan Pu also successfully became Wei Yan's new military advisor. Since then, two legions have been formed in Hanzhong, one is Ma Chao's cavalry corps, and the other is Wei Yan's sailor corps, and as a new mixed force of the Sixth Legion, Chen Long decided to leave some archers, sword soldiers and spearmen, as well as Hanzhong's surrendered troops, and let Ma Chao's two younger brothers lead the reorganization and training, and exchange troops with Tianshui according to the battle situation. Ma Dai, a famous general in Xiliang, Chen Long knew that he was loyal and brave, but he took him with him.

Tianshui is an important stronghold connecting Hanzhong and Chang'an, including Chencang, to guard against heavy troops with famous generals. Chen Long ordered Shamoke's Fifth Army to camp in Tianshui, and at the same time, Longxi County was also under the command of Xu Shu to defend against the counterattack of Han Sui's troops. Chen Long ordered that if Han Sui's army pressed the border, Longxi would have no danger to defend, and allowed Shamoke to strategically abandon Longxi County, fully defend the line of Tianshui and Chencang, and must maintain the supply and information channel between Hanzhong and Chang'an, and in addition to Pan Jun, the military advisor who accompanied the army, Xu Shu became the chief army division sitting in Tianshui and commanding the western army.

After the victory in the first battle of Hanzhong, Jackie Chan focused on the defense of Hanzhong and Tianshui. The castle at the end of the Sword Pavilion was upgraded to a border town, with heavy defense, and some border people were placed to guard the Sword Pavilion plank road. Some residents were also relocated to Yangping Pass, and the pass was opened to traffic every day, and the connection between Tianshui and Han was continuous, and commodity trading and trade were also started, which promoted the flow of people to the west. At this moment, Shangyong City in the east of Han, the waterway of the Han River has been completely opened, and Chen Long can easily lead the two wives back to Xiangyang. And Master Li follows Chen Long every day, and has already been in a relationship with Tong Feifei and Chu Feiyan's two wives, Chen Long remembered what Li Yi said, let Master Li go on her own, since she is willing to continue to follow her to see the world, there is no objection. Besides, Master Li is so smart and cute, how can he bear to drive her away?

Take a boat down the water, and the atmosphere is relaxed and freehand. The two generals, Zhang He and Gao Shun, as well as the two major military divisions of Zhou Budo and Xun You, as well as the special forces led by Lu Chang around him, all members returned to Xiangyang. The green mountains on both sides of the strait continued to retreat, but within two days they arrived at Xiangyang, the headquarters of the Qinglong Army. A group of beautiful wives and concubines led by Liu Qian, Taohua, and Zhang Ning were impatient waiting by the dock for a long time, and Jiang Wan, who greeted the lord, and other core officials and generals all dispersed with interest, and Chen Long enjoyed a few days of gentleness.

After nearly half a year of campaigning, the season has entered late autumn. Although the war was over and he was in Gentle Township, Chen Long's mind was constantly thinking about the next strategy. The next step in operating the north is certain, so whether to pacify Liangzhou first or start from Wancheng, directly control Luoyang and Gyeonggi, and eliminate Yuan Shu, it is really necessary to weigh the pros and cons and think about it. Although the pace of unifying the world will not stop, China's territory is too big, even if it takes a whole year, it is still very smooth, Chen Long is only a Hanzhong, and every day of battle, every inch of land will be more difficult than the battle of Hanzhong.

Hanzhong's geographical location is important, and it can reach Liangzhou at the top and suppress Yizhou at the bottom. There are Liangzhou troops in Chang'an to defend Han Sui, the threat to the west is not big, Han Sui's only thing is to fight for Longxi and Tianshui, Hanzhong itself is also fertile for thousands of miles, after Yangping Pass is locked, there is no problem with self-sufficiency, not to mention that Shangyong is also connected to Xiangyang City with the Han River, so Chen Long is not particularly worried about what will happen to Tianshui. Even if Tianshui is lost, Shamoke can completely withdraw to Yangping Pass, or withdraw to Chang'an and strengthen the defensive force. As for the entire vast Xiliang, it will not be too late to take it after the overall situation is stable in the future. After all, Xiliang is too vast, and the Qiang, Hu, and Han people live together, even if Han Sui is eliminated, it will not be easy to calm down for a while. So Chen Long didn't want to spend time and energy immediately to clean up the mess of Xiliang. Let him toss first!

According to Zhou Budo's idea, Chen Long wrote a letter to Han Sui, asking him to surrender and join the Qinglong Army and share the peace of the world. The implication is that Han Sui can continue to be the lord of Xiliang, but don't delay the Qinglong Army's unification of the world. In the letter, Chen Long described in detail his entire purpose for the benefit of the people, and if he refused to surrender, he would only use war to unify the whole of Xiliang in the future.

For the rest of the week, Chen Long did not discuss the next strategy with Zhou Budo and Xun You, and he first thought it out. Judging from the current layout, there are several options for the next step of the breakthrough of unifying the world: one is to pacify Huang Zu through Jiangxia first, and then eliminate Sun Ce and seize Jiangdong. The first is to start from Wancheng, fight Yuan Shu, control Luoyang and Xudu, and face Lü Bu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other northern princes.

But whether it is going to Jiangxia or Wancheng, if you send troops immediately, the pressure will be very great, first of all, Sun Ce and Huang Zu joined forces, the soldiers were good and the food was sufficient, and the water battle was especially excellent, and absolute victory could not be guaranteed. Moreover, the power of the Sun family has gradually extended to the generation of Chaisang and Wu County, and began to build a new city in Jianye, and the whole process is almost the same as the development of the Sun family in Jiangdong in the official history, which is very smooth. Sun Ce responded to the call in Jiangdong, and received the support of the great families in Jiangdong, and his army gradually became stronger.

And the northern heroes still fought in a small scale in Yuan Shu in Luoyang. At this moment, if his troops enter the territory of Xudu or Luoyang, I am afraid that it will cause new disputes and stir up this pot of troubled waters even more chaotic.

In this way, racking their brains, there were too many warlords who supported their own troops in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and their Jiangling, Hanzhong, Wancheng, Chang'an, Tianshui, Changsha, and Xiangyang were all bordering the enemy soldiers, and they had to be heavily protected. The seven key cities, as well as Jiangxiakou and other places, important military points, have held all the forces of their nine army corps under control, and the troops that they can use at any time are now only 20,000 or 30,000 people.

After returning to Xiangyang, Chen Long naturally met with Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, the two teenagers were carefully taken care of by Liu Qian, and Liu Qian used the consciousness of modern people to guide, in addition to the crossbow that has come in handy for a year, the development of * has basically been successful, Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang excitedly pulled Jackie Chan to see the products they made with *. One of the most decent is the home-made * bag, which can be detonated by igniting the fuse, and the power is acceptable. What Jackie Chan is most interested in is the * bullet that can be put into the iron pipe to fire, this kind of * can be put into a well-made strong iron pipe, and then put the stone in front of the * egg, after the explosion, through the thrust of the iron pipe, the stone will be shot far away, like the cannonball and cannon barrel of later generations.

Chen Long was overjoyed, thinking that if this kind of thing was loaded on his own warship, it would definitely be extremely powerful. As for the radio, there is still no progress, and Chen Long is a little dead-hearted, but Liu Qian, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Yueying talked about the method of wire drawing, I don't know if it is possible to make wires, if it can really make wires, then it is also possible to conduct signals, maybe it can make wired telephones, which is still very meaningful for the follow-up of the former army command and follow-up troops, as well as the linkage of friendly forces.

On the tenth day after returning to Xiangyang, Jackie Chan finally summoned Xun You and Zhou Budo together to discuss follow-up countermeasures. The two military advisors expressed their opinions one after another, Xun You supported sending troops from Chang'an to directly attack Luoyang, first attacking Yuan Shu, and Wancheng cooperated with the legion. Zhou Budo thought that Chang'an was constrained by Wang Yun and Wang Yue, and hoped to start from Jiangdong, first pacify the south, and include the entire Jiangdong in his bag, forming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, and let the northern heroes fight to the death.

To tell the truth, Chen Long was very tempted by Zhou Budo's thinking, if he could really take Jiangdong, then starting from Jianye and Lujiang, he would be able to face the entire Central Plains, and after defeating Shouchun and the entire Xuzhou, he would be able to directly meet with Yuan Shao, attack Cao Cao, and eliminate the biggest variables and rivals in the unified world.

But Jackie Chan has been thinking about it for so many days, and he already has his own set of ideas. At that moment, Chen Long said: "My Qinglong Army has occupied half of the country and a number of big cities, and each stronghold has been guarded by heavy troops and famous generals, so the defense can basically be stable, and the people are basically as stable as Mount Tai." The current weakness is that the intelligence of the melee between the various warlords in the north is not very well understood, although each city has spies sent by the master mother, but the strangulation between the various troops, and the slow transmission and sorting of information, it seems that there is never a clear conclusion. ”

Although Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other warlords have a slight advantage, but in fact, there are no figures who can immediately unify the north, for Chen Long's unification cause, the situation is still very complicated, so Chen Long continued to say firmly: "I decided to enter the north in makeup, look for allies, and investigate the enemy's situation. ”

After Xun You and Zhou Budo heard this, they expressed their opinions one after another, and basically their ideas were to say that because of the successive wars in the north, the warlords were fighting, and the roads were impassable, it was very difficult to enter the north by land, and it was easy to be arrested as a spy of a certain country.

Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "What the two military advisors said is very right, so I decided to take the sea route!" ”

Zhou Budo and Xun You were shocked when they heard this, taking the sea route? It's unheard of. "Where to go by sea?" Zhou Budo couldn't help asking. Chen Long laughed: "Take the sea route, you can go wherever you want!" As long as there is a tidal flat, my big boat and small boat can land wherever I want to go. This is the pirate's greatest advantage! ”

"I believe that on the sea, the warlords have no defensive power, and if the sea can be left to my own way, it is actually the most time-saving way to enter the north. At the same time, it is the safest. ”

Chen Long stood up and said with his hands in his hands. A few years ago, I had already set up a crystal base in Jiaozhou Qiongya, and asked him to help me make a sea boat Later, after Liu Biao surrendered, let Liu Biao's Liu family go to Qiongya, and wear it when I see it, I think this is also the time for us to harvest, as long as Haicheng has been taken care of. Then let's go north at once.

Zhou Yu said overjoyed. The main attack, please take me to the sea boat, I don't have a chart in the map I made, but I can chase it to the sea this time. Chen Long smiled and nodded, and followed the guidance of the main attack, I don't know if I have the heart to follow the waves. In addition, if there is a chance to attack Jiangxia and take Huangpu, then you don't hesitate, and you don't need to ask me, you can see the form of sending troops, but it's best not to provoke the wrong points, if you provoke it, then you must do a good job of defense, because Zhou Yu is not jealous. Xun You nodded in agreement.

This is not a box, after looking for seclusion, he became silently pacing in the hall, he promised to conquer and take a sea boat this time to go out According to his habit of taking a wife every time he goes out, he must bring the conquest to take a sea boat, Liu Qian is a little old now, let her continue to take care of Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying. But I still have to conquer and arrange some guards, how can it be that it is not right to say that it is not right to form some women's houses, just let Tong Fei be in charge of this matter, as for Master Li, let him be the leader of this defense force.

To put it simply, three months later, Jackie Chan decided to set off again from Gentle Township and rushed to Qiongya.
