Chapter 360: Spying on Zhao Jun's Water Village

"Does the husband want to make Xue'er's identity public?" Wang Ling said.

Hua An nodded and said, "Early tomorrow morning, the husband will take Xue'er into the palace and tell the Queen Mother of Xue'er's true identity, I believe the Queen Mother will believe it." ”

"Yes! Isn't today's Queen Mother the garlic of the past? She must not doubt that a few months ago, when she was still the princess's garlic, when she came to visit the mansion, she praised Xue'er for her royal demeanor? Unexpectedly, Xue'er is really of royal blood. Wang Ling said softly.

"Why, a few months ago, the queen mother?" Hua An was very surprised, which is easy to understand, why in the few days in the palace, Chu Lianzi knew his taste, and it turned out that he had visited his mansion a few months ago.

"Husband, it's almost dawn, we can't sleep yet!" Wang Ling looked at the full moon that was gradually sinking in the west and yawned.

"Alright, go back to the house." Hua An picked up Wang Ling and walked to the bedroom.

Early the next morning, Hua An got up from the bed with sleepiness, and after breakfast, he took Han Xueyu and walked to the palace.

When Hua'an brought Han Xueyu to Chu Lianzi, Chu Lianzi recognized Han Xueyu at a glance who he had seen a few months ago.

When she was surprised why Hua An would bring Han Xueyu into the palace, Hua An told Han Xueyu's true identity, and said some things that happened when she rescued Han Xueyu back then.

Since he is the county lord of the current dynasty, he naturally cannot continue to live in Hua'an's mansion, but fortunately, the palace is very large, and there are many idle palaces, so it is okay to vacate one at will.

Han Xueyu, who has been living in Hua'an Mansion, naturally feels a little uncomfortable when she wants to change to a new environment, but she is already an adult, not a child of a few years old, and understands that her identity is special, so she has to obey the arrangement of fate.

A few days later, the security near the capital was completely stabilized, but the direction of the Wujiang ferry was becoming more and more urgent, Shi Hu on the north bank of the ferry, training sailors day and night, and stepping up the construction of warships, there was a great momentum of not crossing the river to the south, not stopping.

Hua An felt that the capital had been stabilized, so he led his own military battalion and 3,000 cavalry under Lei Storm to reinforce the Wujiang crossing, preparing to find a way to break the enemy.

When Hua'an arrived at the Wujiang ferry, he happened to encounter the Zhao army's sailors to provoke, although they were finally defeated by the Great Jin sailors, but according to the generals of the Great Jin sailors, the Zhao army's training was stronger day by day, and there were more and more warships, and the situation was worrying for a long time.

Shipbuilding is an extremely material-consuming thing, Shi Hu can build such a large scale of shipbuilding, because Zhao has strong financial and material resources, which is much inferior to the Great Jin, fortunately, the Great Jin naval army has many large and small ships, and the soldiers' water warfare ability is also extremely prominent, otherwise, the main army of Zhao would have already set foot in the south of the Yangtze River.

Hua'an applied for silver taels from the imperial court, and on the other hand, he consulted with the generals of the navy to let the soldiers cut down trees and prepare to build ships, although this kind of action similar to an arms race was somewhat inappropriate, but for each ship built, the strength of the Jin army's sailors would increase by one point, which was better than sitting still.

In addition to building ships and confronting Zhao Jun, Hua'an also learned about Zhao Jun's situation through a variety of ways, and only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one make oneself invincible.

When Hua An heard the news that Zhao Guo's naval division was cut off by the Jin army's naval division and suffered heavy losses, Shi Hu was furious, and he couldn't help but have a little inspiration to break the enemy in his heart.

"Thunderstorm, you mean that the Zhao State Sailor was once lazily cut off by my Great Jin Sailor, and he can't care about each other?" Huaan asked.

Thunderstorm immediately replied: "Big brother, this is absolutely true, what I saw with my own eyes is absolutely not fake." ”

"Good! Then if the Zhao Navy connects the big ship with iron cables, can our army still cut it off? Huaan asked.

"No, this naturally can't, big brother, fortunately, Zhao Guoshui didn't think of this good idea!" Thunderstorm was a little glad in his heart.

"Big brother, if Zhao Guoshui comes up with this good idea, wouldn't our army be in danger." Wang San asked worriedly.

Hua An smiled slightly, and said softly: "What are you afraid of, you can attack with fire!" Thinking that back then, Zhou Yu of Wu State set a fire in Chibi and burned Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, wouldn't it be refreshing. ”

Wang San frowned and said, "Big brother, the reason why Zhou Yu was able to burn Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops back then was because Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind, if not, it would have been Cao Cao who won." ”

"Yes! , big brother, it's winter at this time, and it's all blowing northwest winds, if it's a fire attack, it must be our army's warship that is burned! Unless someone can borrow the east wind. Thunderstorm followed.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, how can I ignore this stubble." Hua An patted his head and frowned.

"Big brother, do you want to post a notice and look for a stranger who will borrow the east wind." Thunderstorm asked loudly.

Hua An glared at the thunderstorm and reprimanded: "Post a notice, if you do this, isn't it clearly telling the Zhao army that our army is going to attack with fire?" ”

In fact, Hua'an, as a later generation, does not believe in the theory of borrowing the wind, the so-called borrowing of the wind is all fake, but he has mastered the law of the monsoon.

But at the moment, it is either not windy, or the northwest wind is blowing, and there is no sign of a southeast wind at all, and Hua'an is not clear about the monsoon pattern of the four seasons at the ferry, so it is impossible to make an accurate prediction.

But no matter what Hua'an thinks, fire attack is the best strategy, and only fire attack can achieve the greatest results with the least loss.

Hua'an rode his horse with Thunderstorm and Wang San, and went to the riverside to figure out Guò for a field trip to see if the fire attack was feasible.

Standing by the river, Hua'an felt a cool northwest wind, which made Hua'an give up the strategy of using the east wind to attack.

The south bank of the ferry is far away from the north shore, and Hua'an can only vaguely see the Zhao Junshui Village on the opposite bank.

Hua An, Lei Storm, and Wang San boarded a small boat, and under the control of the sailors, the small boat quickly sailed towards the ferry port on the opposite bank.

When the boat reached the center of the river, Hua'an asked the sailors to stop rocking the oar, so that the boat drifted automatically along the river, and after a long time, Hua'an felt the movement of the boat from the reference objects on both sides of the river, which showed that the river flow speed at the ferry was very slow, and it was obviously not feasible to use the speed of the water to attack from the upstream.

The boat continued to sail towards the opposite shore, stopping a stone's throw from the ferry on the north bank, and if it went any further, it would be shot by Zhao's bow and arrows.

Hua An carefully observed the Zhao army's water village and found that the Zhao army trained very hard, and if it continued like this, it would not be long before the strength of the Zhao army's water army would surpass that of the Jin army, and at that time, the situation would become extremely bad.

"Big brother, let's go! The Zhao army warship rowed over. Wang San saw several warships rowed out of the Zhao army's water village, and reminded loudly.

Hua An nodded and said, "Go back." ”

Under Hua'an's order, the boat quickly headed for the south bank of the ferry.

Several warships from the Zhao army's water village naturally found Hua An in civilian clothes and Lei Storm and Wang San in general armor, and they felt that the small boat in front of them must be the big man of the Jin army, so they pursued as fast as possible.

Seeing that several warships of the Zhao army were chasing closely, the sailors in charge of rocking the oars were sweating nervously.

Hua An saw it, and said: "Don't worry, shake slowly, since you are here, why should you give Zhao Jun a little meeting gift!" As he spoke, he took out the bow and arrow beside him.

The Zhao army's warships have many rowers, so the speed is faster, and it looks like it is about to chase closer and closer, Hua'an bends the bow and shoots arrows continuously, and every time the arrow is shot, a Zhao soldier falls into the river with an arrow.

After more than a dozen arrows, the soldiers of the Zhao army were so frightened that they did not dare to pursue again, and fled back in disgrace.

Hua An took a small boat to the south bank of the ferry, along the way, Hua An kept thinking about the best way to break the enemy, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't think of the best way to break the enemy.

After returning to the south bank of the ferry, Hua An returned to the Chinese army's tent and began to look at the map and think carefully to find the best plan to destroy the enemy.

A few days later, Tie Niu and Zhao Wu's troops sent back the news that their army had crossed Zhejiang, Hua'an calculated, it was only about five days away from the capital, if Tie Niu and Zhao Wu's army could reach the capital, the pressure on the Jin army would be greatly reduced again, and the advantage of Shi Hu's main army would be offset a lot.

After a few days, Shi Hu's warships built more, several four-story ships began to appear in the Zhao army camp, the increase in strength, naturally made Shi Hu's ambition extremely inflated, in order to quickly set foot in the south of the Yangtze River, Shi Hu decided to do his best to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army's naval division.

In order to understand the thoughts of the generals, Shi Hu gathered the generals under his command and decided to listen to their opinions first.

In Shi Hu's Chinese army tent, the generals stood on both sides of the tent, waiting for Shi Hu's instructions.

"Generals, our army's warships are three times larger than the Jin army, and this king thinks that now is the time for a decisive battle with the Jin army's sailors, what do you think?" Shi Hu asked straight to the point.

"The last general thinks that our army has the strength to fight a battle, and the battle will be won."

"The last general thinks that the strength of our army's water division and the Jin army's water division is between the best, and if it is a decisive battle, the chance of victory is only fifty percent."

"Your Majesty, the training of our army's sailors is still insufficient, and the soldiers are still seasick, and the battle is really up, and the outcome is unpredictable!"

The generals expressed different opinions.

"What, after training for so long, there are still soldiers who are seasick, why is this happening?" When Shi Hu heard that the soldier was seasick, he immediately became angry.

"Your Majesty, the river is bumpy, and the soldiers are unstable on the warship, so they are naturally prone to seasickness, and if you want to overcome seasickness, you have no other way but to strengthen your training." A ministry general explained.

"Train, train, train, how long will this king's army be trained." Shi Hu was furious again when he heard this.

Yao Xiang, who was standing behind Yao Gezhong, wanted to speak, but was stopped by his father beside him, because Yao Gezhong felt that he had crossed the river and went south, failed to achieve any big results, and lost his troops, so he felt that it was better not to be in the limelight again.
