"Okay." Liu Yu nodded.
"Our Tanghai navy is constantly developing, and now has a lot of coastline."
"Leave Huang Yueying to the weapons research and development."
"Gong Jin will go to the navy and devote all his energy to it."
"I hope you won't let me down."
Zhou Yu immediately knelt on one knee and solemnly promised: "My lord, please rest assured!"
"I will make every effort, exhaust all my energy, and spare no effort!"
The resounding words echoed in the hall.
Zhou Yu looked solemn.
Zhuge Liang recalled what Liu Yu had just said, Huang Yueying was left alone in the R&D department.
Does that mean he...
Looking at Liu Yu with anticipation, Zhuge Liang waited for the follow-up.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Is Kong Ming looking forward to it?"
"Of course I am looking forward to it." Zhuge Liang did not hide it.
"Gong Jin went to the navy, and I also hope to make a difference."
"Continue to compete with Gong Jin."
"But..."
He said a little embarrassedly: "I can't go to the navy."
"Although the big ship is less bumpy, it is also difficult to adapt."
"Unlike Gong Jin, who seems to be born for sailing."
"If I sail on a big ship for half a month, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."
Liu Yu laughed.
"Don't worry, I won't let you go to the navy."
"Kong Ming, you report to the army."
"As for the subsequent tasks, I will arrange them for you separately."
"Now your task is to get familiar with that side."
"And form a new army."
"It's called the New Weapon Army."
"The number of people doesn't need to be large, start with a thousand people."
"The specific structure will be given to you in detailed documents later."
"In addition." He turned his head and looked at Huang Yueying.
"The R&D department needs to cooperate and develop a batch of firearms that can be used now to equip this new army."
"If the power is not enough, the momentum will make up for it."
"The huge movement on the battlefield is also a blow to the enemy."
Huang Yueying's big eyes flickered with expectation.
She had been looking forward to Liu Yu's guidance.
But Liu Yu, as the lord, was very busy managing such a large territory.
She never dared to disturb him.
And this time, she finally had the opportunity to ask all the questions accumulated in her heart.
Huang Yueying pinched the corner of her clothes. The more she learned, the more questions she had, waiting for answers.
...
Jicheng.
Four Jizhou troops were approaching the city.
The fifth went to Yuyang County to wait for orders to stop Tang Hai from coming to help.
On the towering city wall, Liu Yu was wearing armor and holding a sword, with the demeanor of a military general.
Looking out of the city, tens of thousands of Jizhou soldiers were endless.
That huge sense of oppression, like a mountain, pressed on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The Youzhou soldiers on the wall all looked unhappy.
There were too many Jizhou soldiers.
It was far beyond their imagination.
What made them even more uncomfortable was that those soldiers were carrying siege equipment.
Battering rams, ladders.
Looking down from the wall, there were too many in the army.
The Youzhou soldiers knew that from today on, they would face attacks like a tide.
It was unknown who would win or lose.
"Alas!" Liu Yu sighed to the sky.
"The internal fighting among the princes has cost the foundation of us Han people."
"The rebellious son of the Yuan family, who disregarded the overall situation, must be a historical sinner!"
However, melancholy does not bring any advantages.
He knew that he still had to face what he had to face.
After calming down, Liu Yu ordered solemnly: "Pass the order!"
"From today on, the soldiers' rations will be increased by half!"
"In addition, it will be changed from two meals a day to three meals a day."
"No one shall deduct the rations of any soldier under any excuse."
"Once discovered, they will be severely punished!"
The harsh words echoed on the city wall and entered the ears of everyone.
The Youzhou soldiers were finally in a better mood.
Being able to eat more food before the war was coming was the best news for them.
Under the city.
The Jizhou soldiers built a temporary camp under the orders of several generals.
Ju Yi rode on a tall warhorse, holding his head high and looking down on Jicheng.
"It's just a small city, it won't take long to break through."
"Our camp can be simply set up."
"If everything goes well, we can enter the city for dinner tomorrow!"
The heroic words were spoken, and the other generals rarely objected.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou nodded, and Gao Lan agreed: "It's been a smooth journey."
"I think the so-called Youzhou combat power is just like this."
"But it's a pity that there is no battle against the legendary White Horse Volunteers."
"Otherwise, this name will definitely be trampled under our feet."
"The most powerful cavalry in the world is the Jizhou cavalry led by us!"
GaoLan's words made the other three generals nod in agreement.
The continuous victories made the four of them feel more arrogant again.
To an unprecedented degree.
I thought Youzhou was far away from the border and had fought many battles with the Hu people.
The soldiers must be very brave.
But after contact, I found that they were no match for the soldiers of Jizhou.
Under Yuan Shao's reform, the soldiers of Jizhou had food and pay.
After sufficient distribution, the soldiers were in high spirits.
Everyone fought bravely.
It was completely different from the original army of the court.
This made the confidence of the generals who were the four pillars soar.
There was a heroic spirit that no one in the world could stop them.
Guo Tu, Feng Ji and several other counselors secretly gathered together and discussed in secret.
They should have had a military merit, but the battle was too smooth.
So that all the good strategies they had prepared long ago were out of the question.
Before the military commanders set out, they were quite respectful to the military advisors.
After a series of victories, they treated them even more indifferently.
This very obvious change brought together several civil officials who originally had a bad relationship and even competed more than they were friendly.
They were trying to figure out a way to gain some credit in this attack on You.
"The military commanders are powerful, and our civil officials will inevitably decline in the future." Feng Ji squinted and spoke first.
"If this continues, what will we need military advisors for when we go out on an expedition?"
"The military commanders will lead the troops forward and just charge and kill."
"There will be no place for us civil officials anymore."
He looked around, "I believe everyone can see the current situation clearly."
"Nothing is more convincing than a knife in your hand."
"The military commanders who control the military will definitely stand above us and do whatever they want in the future."
The other military advisors nodded secretly.
When Yuan Shao came back from the last meeting in Luoyang, he had already shown signs of emphasizing military power over civil power.
Originally, the most trusted were the counselors.
Unconsciously, they became the military commanders.
There were even names like the Four Pillars.
This made them, who always admired fame, feel uncomfortable.
Guo Tu lowered his voice and said, "We should all keep silent."
After attracting the attention of several people, he continued, "The arrogant general will spoil the soldiers."
"Jicheng is close at hand. After being captured, the military commanders will inevitably relax their management of the soldiers."
"They will definitely plunder and sweep the city."
"When the time comes, we will hide a few local people in private and take them back to Yecheng to file a complaint."
"Accusation of those military commanders for poor command of troops, private looting of Jicheng, and damaging the reputation of our Jizhou army."
"It is not good for subsequent governance and for winning the hearts of the people in Youzhou..."
