Chapter 776: [Penglai Pavilion]'s fleet
"Intelligence verification, [Penglai Pavilion] dispatched 120,000 gangs to Wenzhou Bay. Now he has snatched the southeast of Huiji County from the hands of [Chopping Chiyou], and divided the territory from Huiji County, and established a new county, Linhai County, alone! ”
"Take the sea attack? They're flexing their muscles..."
"Anyway, would you suggest to the gang leader that you set up a wartime headquarters?"
"No, no, no... Now, in order to solve his worries before competing with Yuan Shao for hegemony, Cao Cao was about to drive Sun Ce's troops in Jiujiang County and Guangling County back to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then blockade the ports along the Yangtze River such as the mouth of the river. Sun Ce is fighting hard to stay in the bridgehead to the north, and [Chopping Chiyou] is also fully cooperating.
[Penglai Pavilion] It is normal to take advantage of this opportunity to grab food, is our reaction too intense? Moreover, the gang leader has not yet set a strategic goal for the next stage, and if we overreact, it may derail the gang leader's plan. ”
"I agree...[Penglai Pavilion]'s actions don't look like they're coming for us, I'm a little too flashy in his reaction, let him lift martial law in Wuxing County first, right?"
"No! The speed of [Penglai Pavilion] was too fierce, and it only took half a day to take down a Linhai County with an area comparable to our Poyang County. If we really don't defend it, Poyang County will be fine, there are Wuyi Mountains in the south and Huaiyu Mountains in the east, but we can't keep the bridgehead of Wuxing County! ”
The cabinet quarreled, and now there are two deputy gang leaders and five main hall masters in the cabinet, [Wangbeilou Helm], [New Nanhua Helm], [Shadow Pavilion Helm], [Hunter Hall Helm], [Special Helm] The five deputy helmsmen representatives, as well as the think tanks selected by several departments of the club, add up to 15 people.
To be honest, this so-called cabinet is a bit too immature. If Jiang Zhuo didn't push them away, they wouldn't have been able to make any decisions before, and they would always be able to pull off.
A group of young people will always have the idea of "there are always people who want to harm me", and they are too cautious when making decisions.
Especially in war, [Lingyun Palace] has fought a lot of wars, and the war decisions before it can be basically made by Jiang Zhuo, and then the deputy gang leader will implement it, which ensures efficiency. Now that Jiang Zhuo is resting offline, they can't find the north.
Ye Xiaowen was also a little irritable, but he knew that the existence of the cabinet was necessary, which could effectively prevent problems such as separatism and rebellion. He knocked on the table, "Since the martial law order of [Wuxing County] has been issued, there is no need to lift it. Otherwise, Wu Xing's gang had just become nervous, and if they were released in one go, they would directly plunge into a thousand miles, from the extreme of tension to the extreme of laxity.
If it is too lax and allows [Penglai Pavilion] to see the opportunity, it will be more dangerous. ”
The information from Linhai County has not yet been transmitted, but the speed at which [Penglai Pavilion] took a county in half a day is too scary, which makes the cabinet quite nervous, worried that Wu Xing's martial law order will provoke [Penglai Pavilion] and cause bad changes.
But in fact, they [Lingyun Palace] no longer need to be afraid of [Penglai Pavilion], the main problem is that Jiang Zhuo has not decided on the strategic goals of the next stage, so that the cabinet only knows how to prepare for war, but they don't know the direction of the war, and they become a little confused.
"No matter what the goal of [Penglai Pavilion] is, our Wuxing County has been semi-surrounded by them. In this case, we can do something defensive, right? ”
Ye Xiaowen looked at everyone, he needed to use his logic to convince them, otherwise this meeting would be endless, "It is enough to transfer Lusu's army to the northern end of the Wuyi Mountain Range and put on a posture that can support Wuxing County at any time."
There are two advantages to this, if the next target of the gang leader is Jian'an County, then this army can attack directly, and the time for transferring troops can be reduced. If not, we can also confuse the real goal of the helper and make the real goal lax.
That's what I think, do you think there's anything wrong with it? If not, sign a cabinet order to transfer troops, right? ”
Wu Junxuan and the others thought about it, there was indeed no harm to doing this, and they were not worried about stimulating [Penglai Pavilion] and affecting Jiang Zhuo's next plan. Then the cabinet order was issued, and Lu Su, who was training the naval army in Poyang Lake, was ordered to go to the Wuyi Mountains with an army of 10,000.
The water system of Poyang Lake cannot be directly connected to Jian'an County, and some of the canals in later generations have not yet been built. There is no way now, but in the future, the [Lingyun Palace] will definitely build the canal wherever the territory expands, and their naval advantage is too great.
Fortunately, Lu Su's 10,000-strong army is actually an amphibious army, a naval army changed from an infantry army, and the land battle is also quite reliable.
......
Jian'an County, where Jian'an County is located, is the location of the Yangzhou branch of [Penglai Pavilion]. This time, [Penglai Pavilion] went north again, in fact, it was far more than just 120,000 people, but also 20,000 NPC troops that were secretly purchased and trained.
The last time they went north to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, when they wanted to announce their promotion to the overlordship, they only used 5,000 NPC troops. But in fact, in a place like Jiaozhou, where you can walk a few minutes from the mountain and enter a mountain, it is really easy to secretly train an army.
Now their 20,000-strong army is on a small island only a dozen miles from the mainland, and they can enter the Minjiang River from the mouth of the Minjiang River at any time and come to Jian'an County. They did not have a decent fleet, but they had more than two thousand ferries.
When you rent a ferry, you need to pay the rent according to the rental time when you rent it from the NPC, and you also need to give a deposit of 10 gold coins. If you return the ferry with a loss or delay, the NPC will deduct an indefinite amount from the deposit.
However, if you don't return it, you will not only lose 10 gold coins, but also deduct 1,000 reputation points, and the deposit will be doubled when renting the boat in the future. If you don't return it twice, the reputation value of the deduction will be doubled, and the deposit will be doubled.
Although the consequences are serious, for the overlord-level forces, if they want to get a ship, they can arrange a large number of logistics players to take turns renting a ship. That's how the more than 2,000 ferries of [Penglai Pavilion] came, and a total of 25,000 gold coins were spent.
"It's a bit of a hassle... It was no problem for the ferries to go through a smooth stream or a small river, but this time more than 500 ferries were overturned directly from the sea, and half of them could not be salvaged now, unless we could get a big boat. ”
The deputy pavilion master Ye Mingxi has a headache, even if it is a large waterway like the Pearl River in Jiaozhou, the water flow is relatively stable, and only a few sections of the river are a little more turbulent. But the further north you go, the more turbulent the water of the big rivers becomes, and the fleet formed by ferries is still too small after all.
