If Jingzhou can win all the four counties in Jiangdong, it will occupy all the natural risks of the Yangtze River, and the safety will be greatly enhanced.


    The consumption of the navy is no worse or even greater than that of the cavalry.


    Jingzhou does not produce war horses, and cavalry needs a large number of horses, so Jingzhou horses are very expensive.


    But the ships the Navy needs are the same.


    Whether it''s a building ship or a boat or a boat or a walking Ge, special materials are needed to make it. Otherwise, if it''s just ordinary wood, it can''t withstand the devastation of a congenital warrior, how can it be used in water warfare?


    Therefore, Liu Biao, with the support of Caishi, Kuai and other big families in Xiangyang in 1956, only built 20000 water troops, and Huang Zu only raised 10000.


    Compared with the cavalry, the formation and training of the navy are slower. As long as the war horse has a way, the cavalry can be trained quickly, but the navy can''t. If there are no ships, it''s useless to have people alone.


    From scratch, the construction of ships is very complex and time-consuming, especially warships.


    Liu Yao was also the same. He was appointed as Yangzhou shepherd by the imperial court. Yuan Shu was naturally dissatisfied. Therefore, after arriving in Jiangdong, he spent a large part of his financial resources on the construction of the Navy and built niuzhu camp to prevent Yuan Shu from crossing the river.


    But we can only take the defensive, that is, Yuan Shu''s time to Jiujiang is still short, and there are not many water troops. Otherwise, if it is the same as the infantry, it is estimated that it will directly push Liu Yao flat.


    After Liu Yao was forced to withdraw to Danyang, he only occupied several counties in the north and managed to maintain it. However, Wu Jing still controlled the Wanling area of Danyang county.


    After being defeated by Lv Bu and Liu Bei, sun Ben fled back to Shouchun and was directly ignored by Yuan Shu, so he took people south to Danyang and defected to Wu Jing.


    As a result, Wu Jing''s strength has been enhanced, but Liu Yao has not continued to grow. The strength comparison between the two sides has changed, which leads to some people under Liu Yao''s command have different opinions.


    ……


    After Liu Yao arrived in Danyang, he settled in Shicheng. Because the stone city is too small, the generals are divided into counties, which can also expand the army on the spot.


    Zorong was settled in moling County by Liu Yao.


    Then zorrong set up a set of xiapi in moling to reduce the taxes of Buddhists, so many poor people became monks one after another, so that zorrong''s strength would recover soon.


    However, zorong wanted to train troops and expand his strength. After Buddhists were exempted from taxes, they could only be added to other people. Therefore, people''s life became more and more difficult. They could not make ends meet, and moling soon became dilapidated.


    When the news reached Liu Yao in Shicheng, Liu Yao was naturally dissatisfied.


    Although Liu Yao did not do well, he treated the people well and could be called "benevolence". He didn''t have many counties. If he let zorong toss about like this, it''s estimated that he can''t even keep the last site.


    Therefore, Liu Yao severely reprimanded zorong and ordered him to restrain his exploitation.


    On the surface, zorong promised well, but he still went his own way.


    Liu Yao tried to remove him from the post of director of moling because his reprimands failed.


    After being scolded by Liu you for many times, zorong was also angry. Hearing that Liu you was going to attack him, he hated him. He simply didn''t do it at all and went straight against it.


    He killed the people sent by Liu Yao to replace him, took more than ten thousand Buddha soldiers and went straight to the stone city.


    Liu Yao could not have imagined that zorrong, who had always been submissive, dared to rebel. Before he could respond, zorrong broke through the stone city.


    Liu Yao was not good at fighting. At the moment, the generals are all out of town and can''t resist the fierce Buddhist soldiers. Until zorong wants to fight Liu Yao''s residence, he finally remembers that another fellow has been idle at home.


    Yes, it''s Tai Shici.


    When Liu Yao fled Wujun, he took taishici and qu''a. although there was no abnormal behavior when Liu Yao evacuated taishici, Liu Yao still didn''t use him and Wu Yin.


    I can''t live up to my face!


    After arriving at Shicheng, Liu Yao lifted their detention, but did not use them again. They lived in stone city and became neighbors, which made their friendship better.


    When Liu Yao remembered that taishici sent someone to invite him, taishici and Wu Yin, who knew the changes in the city, were already ready.


    But it was too late. Zorrong had occupied more than half of the stone city. The defenders either fled or surrendered. Taishici couldn''t summon soldiers at all. He had to take hundreds of guards from Liu Yao''s family and protect Liu Yao. He killed out of the city and fled to niuzhu camp.


    But after betrayal and adventure, Liu you, who was already in poor health, suddenly collapsed and fell ill. Therefore, even if you arrive at niuzhu camp, you can''t come out to take charge.


    Without Liu Yao, his generals didn''t know how to choose, and they all stood still. Fan Neng and Zhang Ying, the guards of niuzhu camp, were powerless in the face of zorong.


    There are 20000 Navy troops under their command, but the navy is not good at land warfare and is not the opponent of those Buddhists.


    Both of them are dissatisfied with zorong and have no plans to go with zorong. After zorong cut off the logistics channel, there is also a contradiction between them.


    Seeing the decline of Liu you, fan Neng is ready to go to Yuan Shu; Zhang Ying disagreed, thinking that Yuan Shu was a rebel of the Han Dynasty and advocated to invest in Jingzhou.


    Liu Yao was unconscious and couldn''t take the lead. Neither of them could persuade anyone. They simply joined forces and went their separate ways, avoiding internal friction. They led half of the Navy and went to Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.


    Taishici and Wu Yin chose Liu Biao. Together with Zhang Ying, they took several building ships, more than 20 ships, and dozens of Ge, carrying 10000 Navy troops, went up against the river, carefully avoided the navy of Yuan Shu on the Lujiang River, arrived in Yuzhang, entered Peng Lize, sent someone to contact Taishou Hua Xin and asked Liu Yao to go down on behalf of him.


    ……


    Qiji received the information from Liu Biao. It has been five or six days since taishici met Hua Xin. Liu Biao said in his letter that he had agreed to Liu Yao''s resignation and connected his family to Xiangyang. The rest of the troops were temporarily stationed in Yuzhang and temporarily dispatched by Huaxin.


    Without any hesitation, he decided to send troops to Danyang.


    Soon, Qiji was ordered to lead the army to Danyang to capture and kill zorong on the grounds of crusading against rebellion.


    ……


    This time, the trick didn''t go from Jingnan again. He led the army to Xiangyang. Cai Mao personally arranged a boat and was escorted by the Xiangyang Navy all the way through the river to Yuzhang in summer.


    "Sinners visit the general." Goodbye, trick. Taishici apologized immediately.


    "What is the sin of Ziyi?" The trick smiled and helped him and Wu Yin up. "At a difficult time, Ziyi can think of Jingzhou and the son of heaven. He came with a large army to avoid the enhancement of the enemy. It is clear that he is a meritorious man."


    "Now taishici is appointed as the captain of the school to fight against rebellion, leading 3000 troops and being the pioneer of the army to quell the chaos in Danyang." The trick ordered, "Wu Yin is the thief breaking captain and vice general Tai Shici."


    "Humble command." With one voice, they have been waiting for this day for a long time.


    "Mr. Yidu, please be a military division. Ziyi, you two should listen to the advice of the military division. "


    "General, you''re welcome. I''ll take your orders."


    "General Zhang is very happy to come. You are a partial general. You still lead the old Department, "the trick told Zhang yingdao." in this war, you lead the navy to patrol the river and block the possible reinforcements of Yuan Shu. There are not many naval divisions in Jingzhou. It took me a lot of effort to get 5000 naval divisions from Zhi Jinwu. I''ll give them all to you. Do you have the confidence to complete the task? "


    "The end will do his best. If Yuan Shu''s army goes south, it will be after the end will die." Zhang Ying said.


    "I don''t need you to die on the battlefield, I need you to live. Ben will give him the title of general Hengjiang and give him a reward when the war is over. "


    "The end will dare not die!" Zhang Ying was overjoyed.


    He also knows something about the army in Jingzhou these days, including the military division. As long as there are three miscellaneous generals, if he doesn''t die in this war, he can face zorong only after winning Wu Jing.


    Inadvertently, Wu Jing blocked a disaster for zorong.
