Chapter 2074 wait
Bohai County.
"Can't you go out to sea yet? What are you waiting for? This wave is not big. Why are you so brave?"
Xu Chu pointed to the waves and said to Su Fei that he had been in Bohai County for seven days and has not been able to leave the port until now.
"General Xu, there have been storms these two days. Don't look at the waves on the shore. Once you walk into the sea, the waves will be quite terrible. If you accidentally take care of the ship, you will overturn. This time the ship is not just a troop transporter, but also a war horse. This war horse is hard to control when it sways in the ship!"
Su Fei told Xu Chu in detail about the difficulties at sea. He was familiar with water wars, but the rivers and lakes were completely different from those at sea. The waves on the sea were really the power of heaven and earth. Even the largest three thousand-foot ships in the sea are just a small boat.
"I wouldn't wait if I knew it, so I would get on the boat when I came. Now it's time to arrive in Xuzhou!"
Xu Chu didn't want to hear so many excuses, and said irritably that the first two days of arrival were not big, and he should set sail at that time.
"General Xu, do you think that a large army is like a single person on board?"
Su Fei said helplessly, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu's army arrived. It would take two or three days to get on board the ship, and there were also food and supplies for soldiers and war horses. These were not something that could be arranged in a short time.
"General Xu, stop complaining. It's better to wait here for a few days. It may not matter if the soldiers take the boat. It always takes time to adapt to the war horses."
Zhao Yun called Xu Chu and said, "Xu Chu was anxious about the war and he could understand it, but he could not be impatient in some things. There were adverse reactions when riding a war horse on a boat. I heard that Cao Cao had transported horses from Liaodong to Xuzhou, and the transportation losses alone were as high as 30%. He could not accept this loss.
"Now the weather is getting warmer day by day. Seeing that the northern land is thawing, the Jingzhou War may break out at any time. How can we do it? The lord has an order, let's fight Xuzhou."
Xu Chu was a little upset. He wished he could fly to Xuzhou now and fight, and then kill the Xuzhou enemies.
"The lord said, things cannot be rushed. Keeping confidential this time is much more important than speed. We must catch Cao Cao off guard."
Zhao Yun shook his head and said, he thought a lot about this battle, and finally found that the sudden attack was the most important.
"When will the troops be sent? Keep waiting?"
Xu Chu couldn't listen, but just wanted to send troops.
"General Zhao, General Xu!"
Another team of soldiers came from the direction of Jizhou, and the leader rode his horse and bowed to Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.
"You are also preparing to go to sea?"
Seeing that another army was coming, Xu Chu asked curiously that the matter of going to sea was confidential. He had not received military orders, nor had he heard that anyone else came to support him.
"No, I will take three thousand new recruits to Liaodong. The Liaodong and the Sanhan land have not been pacified yet. There are aliens hiding in the mountains and forests. These people just happen to be used to train new recruits."
Xie Xiong, the leader, spoke, saying that he was a descendant of the Lu family's retainer. He had reached the position of the general for his military merits over the years. This time he took the new soldiers to Liaodong to train troops and suppress bandits.
"You are lucky, and there will be war when you go."
Xu Chu was a little envious when he heard this. It was much better to go to Liaodong and Sanhan than to wait for the storm to calm down. He could fight after going there.
"General Xu, if you want to go, you can ask His Majesty for a fight. With General Xu leading the team, I believe that those rats in Liaodong can be easily eliminated."
Xie Xiong joked that Xu Chu Wuyi knew that if he brought heavy cavalry to Liaodong, it would be an invincible existence.
"Forget it, why do you want to find those savages who hide in Tibet? Finding them all over the mountains is more tiring than hunting. You can even peel and eat meat after killing wild animals. What's the use of those savage barbarians?"
Xu Chu waved his hand. If there were decent enemies in Liaodong, he would definitely be willing to go, but now there are only aliens left in Liaodong that hide scatteredly, and the most are tribes of thousands of people. On such a vast land as Liaodong, there are not as many people as tigers and jackals in the mountains.
"General Xu, General Zhao, I won't talk anymore. Your Majesty has a letter. I happened to bring it here by this marching!"
Xie Xiong took out a letter and handed it to Zhao Yun.
"Your Majesty has a letter?"
Xu Chu was happy, and he instinctively believed that he had a solution to the current difficulties in his heart.
"Your Majesty asks us not to hurry!"
After reading the letter, Zhao Yun said to Xu Chu.
"What does it mean if you don't hurry?"
Xu Chu was confused.
"My lord said that after the war between Jingzhou and Yanzhou begins, we must launch an attack when Xuzhou's troops are most empty, so that the enemy can be really scared and then lose their straits."
When Zhao Yun saw that Xu Chu didn't want to read the letter, he explained.
"That's what if you have to wait?"
Xu Chu seemed to be a deflated ball.
"It's not long before, according to Your Majesty, the war will break out in full swing at most in one month. At that time, the troops participating in the war in Yanzhou and Jingzhou will reach 250,000, which is almost all Cao Cao's mobility."
Zhao Yun looked at Xu Chu and said, "The Central Plains have been in war for many years and the population has dropped sharply. It is already the limit to have so many soldiers and horses in the four prefectures of Cao Cao."
"Forget it, forget it, I'm going to sleep!"
Xu Chu waved his hand and left. It would be meaningless if he couldn't go to fight. Instead of working on the beach, he would go to bed.
"Does Your Majesty have any other orders?"
Zhao Yun looked at Xie Xiong and asked.
"I don't know about this. When I came, I received a message from the military headquarters, asking me to bring this letter."
Xie Xiong shook his head and said.
After a few conversations, Xie Xiong led the army to march northward. The training of new recruits is also one of them. Under normal circumstances, you will have to arrive a hundred miles a day.
"General Su, wait until the storm is fine and you will catch the horses on the boat to see how adaptable the horses are. Once the army goes to Xuzhou, they will immediately participate in the battle after landing."
Zhao Yun said to Su Fei, since the battle is still early, he can use this time to prepare.
"Okay, General Zhao, since I still have time, I'll send someone to explore first, see if there are large islands near Xuzhou, or find a remote and uninhabited beach, and if there are any problems after landing, I'd better take a break."
Su Fei nodded and said that he was only training the navy in the Bohai Sea during this period. Now that he has time, he can send someone to investigate first.
"Okay, choose a good login site first."
Zhao Yun also agreed that he was fighting this landing battle that was traveling around the sea and land for the first time, and some things would be unexpected for a while.
"General Su, I will ask you more about this water battle. I have been fighting on horseback all my life and I am an amateur in boat driving and boating."
Zhao Yun clasped his fists at Su Fei and said that he had specialized in his skills. Since this battle requires a boat ride, he would inevitably ask some of the requirements of water battles.
"It's not a question to ask for advice. General Zhao has anything to ask, but it doesn't matter. I must know everything."
