Chapter 1190

Just when Lu Bu led the army to set out and prepare to start the bloody washing of the grassland, a war that lasted more than half a year in the west of Bingzhou was finally coming to an end.

After the unsuccessful attack on Lufu last year, Ma Chao saw that the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was about to snow, so he led the retreat, retreated to the two cities of Anmi and lesu, and waited for the weather to improve next year. At the beginning of March this year, Ma Chao attacked Lufu city again with the support of ten thousand soldiers and horses sent by Ma Teng. After a month's fierce attack, Ma Chao finally entered Lufu city. Jiuquan prefect was defeated without words. His two generals, heluan and Huanghua, were killed on the spot. Tens of thousands of troops were destroyed by Ma Chao. Finally, under the death guard of Ma Wan and Qiang Duan, Ma Chao was speechless Less than 5000 cavalry broke through the encirclement and went west.

Then Ma Chao's army followed, and speechless lost his city pass one after another. In the middle of May, Jiuquan prefect speechless finally lost the last county seat of saquan County, Shatou county. Speechless finally, under the protection of Ma play, Qiang Duan and more than 3000 cavalry, he broke through the encirclement again and ran south along the Sule River to the middle of Qilian Mountain If it's not Qiang Duan, he was originally a haoshuai of Qiang people in Xiliang. He was familiar with the surrounding conditions of Qilian Mountain, so he had no chance to escape into Qilian Mountain.

On May 28, there was the 11th player vassal, the silent force of Jiuquan prefect was defeated by Ma tengjun, becoming the first player vassal force to be destroyed in the game. It was only one year and seven months since he took the post of Jiuquan prefect two years ago.

Later, Ma Chao led 10000 cavalry and 20000 soldiers to attack Dunhuang county. Ma AI, the prefect of Dunhuang, led 10000 soldiers to Yuanquan city to resist the attack of Ma Chao's army. Facing Ma Chao's strong attack, the failure of Dunhuang county has entered the countdown state.

When he received the news of the silent defeat, Huangfu Chaobo was discussing with the people of Lujiang County. In fact, it was the people of Lujiang who reported to Huangfu Chaobo the development of Lujiang since they occupied Lujiang. To Huangfu Chaobo's satisfaction, Zuo Chengzu and the people of Lujiang did a lot of work. In just one or two years, Lujiang County has basically stabilized Come on.

If the internal affairs are stable, then we need to consider the arrangement of each garrison. Lujiang County is the southernmost County of the Tang Dynasty, and its geographical location is also very good. It is connected with Runan in the north, separated from Jingzhou by Dabie Mountain and Tongbai mountain in the East, and the wide river in the south. The only defense needed is Jiujiang County of Wu state in the East, and Huangfu Chaobo is also in Lujiang With a total of 40000 soldiers in six steps and two horses, and the garrison of each city, there are more than 100000 troops in the whole Lujiang River.

However, although there were many troops, their defense focus was basically in the south. After careful consideration, Huangfu Chaobo decided to adjust the arrangement of soldiers.

You Jiling led his 10000 heavy infantry and 5000 cavalry troops to Anfeng city to defend against the possible attack from Shouchun in the north of Jiujiang. At the same time, it was also to control the huaishui waterway to the west of Anfeng, prevent the Wu Navy from entering the huaishui between Runan and Lujiang, and block the connection between Runan and Lujiang.

Han Siam, another deputy general of Xuanwu camp, led a school's army horse into Xunyang County, the westernmost part of Lujiang County, to defend against the possible attack of Jingzhou in the West. Kong Xin, the chief general, led the infantry of three schools and cavalry of one school and stationed in Shuxian county. In this way, the defense of the whole Lujiang River is basically at ease.

In addition to inspecting the stability of each county and the equipment of troops and horses, Huangfu Chaobo had another purpose, which was the water army base of Lujiang County. Lujiang River is adjacent to huaishui River in the north, Dajiang River in the south, Peng Lize in the West and Chaohu in the East. It can be said that it has a unique advantage in building a water army. I don't know why Yuan Shu didn't build a reasonable water army at the beginning.

Now that the state of Tang owns this place, Huangfu Chaobo can't let go of this advantage. At least it should have its own water army of Tang army cruising on the river. You know, the ships that can walk on the river are all the water army of Tang state or the ships that the water army agreed to walk on.

now Lujiang Navy is responsible for Zhou Tai's brother Zhou ran. Although Huangpu Chao Bo wants to have a strong Lujiang water army, the personnel may be transferred from among other naval forces, but the ships can not be transferred from other places, because Wu has controlled the section of the waterway from the sea entrance to Lujiang. If he knows that Tang country wants to send a warship to Lujiang, it will definitely not. Zhou Ran's task is still arduous. He wants to build a new water army in Lujiang River.

After taking control of Lujiang River, Huangfu Chaobo asked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin carefully. After thinking about it again and again, he put the base of the water army in Zongyang.

There are several reasons. First, the water surface in Zongyang is very complex, not as vast as Peng Lize's. you can see the reality at a glance. Second, Zongyang is relatively close to Shuxian and Juchao, two important towns in the south of Lu River. If something happens to the naval base, the support troops from the two cities can arrive in only one day.

After spending a day in Shu County, Huangfu Chaobo arrived at the water army base in Zongyang under the protection of the guards.

Huangfu Chaobo and his party soon arrived in Zongyang. Outside the water army base, Zhou ran was leading a group of officers and generals to wait here. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo arriving, they immediately came forward to salute: "the last general of Lujiang water army, commander Hengjiang, Zhou ran, kowtow to my king!"Huangfu Chaobo sat on his horse and quietly accepted the kowtow of Zhou ran and his subordinates. After that, Huangfu Chaobo turned over and stepped down to Zhou Ran's side, reached out his hand and lifted him up, saying: "Zhou Aiqing, please get up. I come to Zongyang alone this time. I believe that Aiqing knows what's going on. I don't know what's going on in Lujiang River now?"

"I can't finish what the king asked me. It's really..." Zhou ran said with shame;

Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and said, "we'll talk about this later. Let's go to the camp first and talk while we watch!"

"No!" Zhou ran stood up, reached out his hand and led Huangfu Chaobo to the camp. He said, "my Lord, please follow me here!"

While walking, Zhou ran introduced Zongyang water army base to Huangfu Chaobo. Zongyang water army base is divided into several parts, including shipbuilding workshops and water army barracks near the lake, and a large army array on the bank. Then a large wall is used to encircle all three parts, almost the size of a small city.

Walking in the Zongyang naval base, Huangfu Chaobo listened to Zhou Ran's introduction and carefully looked at the situation inside the base, but he was extremely satisfied. It was only a year and a half since he began to prepare for the establishment of the naval base. It can be said that from having nothing to having all the facilities in place, the shipbuilding workshop has been able to manufacture all the vessels of the level of Dou Jian and below And now the water army barracks has been completely built, not only that, he has also trained 5000 water troops in a school, and the defense of the whole base is in the charge of a school infantry dispatched by Shu county.
