I’m The King Chapter 1394: : Han flag world (eighty-four) in full swing
"Commander, I respect you. Without your support these past few years, I might have fallen down." Raising his glass, Li Quan sincerely said to Kou Shuguang.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Kou Shuguang shook his head and said with a smile, "Your life is really hard. Has the relationship with your father not eased yet?"
Li Quan drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, with a complicated expression on his face, "Son does not talk about father's faults. As for life being poor, I don't think so, Commander, we were floating on the sea in those years, but we didn't have such a rich food and drink. .”
Kou Shuguang laughed: "You are right. It seems that I have lived comfortably in the past few years, and I have forgotten the hard work at that time. I am very happy that you can keep your heart. Come, let's have a drink. All hardships come, Li Quan, your good days are coming."
The two wine glasses collided with each other in the air, and Li Quan's eyes lit up as he drank the wine in the glass: "Commander, are you going to do something?"
"It was beyond my expectation." Li Quan suppressed the joy in his heart, "For a long time, whether it is the military intelligence report or the public information, it seems that the first goal of our big man is Qin. Why did such a big turning point happen in the blink of an eye?"
"You can call it a big strategic deception. This is something the king has been working on for the past few years. In fact, when Ying Ying came to power, abolished Li's laws, and used Fan Sui to start domestic reforms, the king did It is expected that they will inevitably fail, and with the incident of Lu Chao, both the king and the Zhengshitang judge that the state of Qin is no longer a threat to us, whether it is politics, military or economics. Under such circumstances, of course we have to make a new choice. Of course, in order to achieve this, we must not alert the Chu State, so in the past few years, this kind of strategic deception has been going on.”
"Waterway is the main function?" Li Quan said excitedly.
Kou Shuguang laughed loudly, put a chopsticks of vegetables into his mouth and chewed slowly, "You have to think too much, Chu State, that is a giant of 800-year dynasty, 5,000 miles of rivers and mountains. With all the way to attack, how can we beat him to the ground? What we want is to destroy his vitality in the shortest time. Make him no longer have room to fight back, and then slowly clean up, so this time the attack , It’s a number of ways, but don’t be disappointed.”
Looking at the expression on Li Quan's face, Kou Shuguang continued: "You are going to attack Jiangdong County of Chu State. Your task is to wipe out the navy stationed in Jiangdong County of Chu State and create a new environment for the army to land in Jiangdong County. Conditions, this time we secretly recruited about hundreds of civilian ships. We will transport 50,000 troops ashore from Jiangdong County, and we want to take Jiangdong in one fell swoop. If the Chu Dynasty is weaned and has no food, it will be at an absolute disadvantage in the next battle with us."
"Don't worry, the commander, the last general will fulfill his mission. Chu's navy is nothing more than a group of muddy loaches rolling in the muddy pond. They want to compete with my big Han navy. They are still far behind!" Li Quan excitedly Stand up and say loudly.
"This time our battle with the Chu State is a battle to destroy the country. Even if we are big men, it is also a general mobilization of the whole country. The initial task of your navy is to destroy the Chu State navy. After this is done, The rest of your task is more about projecting troops, projecting our troops to any place along the Yangtze River where we want to land, and at the same time guaranteeing their logistical supplies and safe logistics at any time. Withdraw, next, you are busy." Kou Shuguang smiled.
"Commander, I'm not afraid of being busy, I'm afraid of being idle. In the past few years, I've been so idle that I'm going to grow hair." Li Quan waved his arms.
"It's okay to be idle, at least in the past few years you have been idle, you have trained us a strong navy, and it will also allow you to calm down and think about many things, Li Quan, your future Not only here, I have already discussed this point with the king 366858/'> in depth, after defeating Chu, you should go back to the navy, the vast ocean is where you should gallop." Kou Shuguang looked Li Quan said: "The king is very satisfied with your performance in the past few years. You are familiar with maritime affairs and inland rivers. After a few more years of experience, if I don't give you my seat, who will I give it to?"
"Commander!" Li Quan looked at Kou Shuguang, his eyes turned red, "Without the cultivation of Commander, Li Quan would have rotted in the gutter long ago. Li Quan didn't think so far, and didn't want to be anything Minister of State, I think, as long as I can return to the navy and go to sea again, I would like to be a captain or a sailor!"
"The time is not far away!" Kou Shuguang said: "Qin has long been at the end of its battle. After we have defeated Chu, it is basically equivalent to unifying the world. Next, the aiming port of the big man's artillery will definitely be aimed Overseas. The king once said to me that the flag of our great man should be planted wherever the solar energy shines, and now I will pass this sentence on to you."
"Thank you Commander, thank you Your Majesty, Li Quan will definitely do this." Li Quan said excitedly.
"From now on, the Neihe Navy has entered a state of first-level military combat readiness, and is ready to attack at any time." Kou Shuguang said: "This time, you will fight on the front line, and I will sit in Fenzhou to coordinate the coordination between the army and the navy." As well as the deployment of materials, no mistakes are allowed.”
"Finally, I can fight under the command of the commander again." Li Quan said with a smile: "This makes me feel a little bit back to the past."
Kou Shuguang laughed loudly: "I won't command the battle this time. You are the one who is on the front line. Apart from these, I have other things to do. Well, after this battle, you should go home and have a look." Well, Li Can is your old man after all, blood is thicker than water, and he sent you to the navy, although he didn't intend for your development at the time, but after all, it made you have the current rebellion. After the new year, he will If you want to quit completely, go home and comfort him."
Li Quan's body shook slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Is it because of me?"
"Almost, Li's shipping is now through the way of outsiders participating in the shares. It is no longer your Li family who has the final say. The rise of Fenzhou Shipping has also given Cangzhou a rival. Even if it’s over, but Your Majesty values you, and if he wants to transfer you back to the navy, your father will no longer be suitable to be the principal of Cangzhou Naval University, do you understand that?”
"Subordinates understand." Seeing what the king means, he wants to support himself as the future head of the navy. In this case, it is natural not to let his son be the head of the navy, but Lao Tzu controls the training of the reserve force of the navy. However, after a long time, the navy has become Li's all-in-one word again, and the way of balance has been the same since ancient times.
"So, your father has sacrificed a lot for you this time, but if the Li family wants to develop and gain a foothold in the big man, he can only count on you." Kou Shuguang smiled and said: "Come on, for the great war For your victory, and for your bright future, we drink this cup."
"I respect the commander!" Li Quan stood up, held the cup in both hands, and looked at Kou Shuguang respectfully.
The Inland River Navy has entered a state of first-line combat readiness since that night. All sailors and soldiers who were resting in rotation were recalled. The military docks were closed. , A piece of steel plate was moved out of the warehouse and hung on the side of the ship. Weapons such as magic machine crossbows and stone cannons began to be installed and debugged on the ship. The entire dock was very busy.
Everyone understands that this time it is not a drill, but a real war. For these officers and soldiers of the Inland River Navy, this is an exciting and somewhat frightening event, because they have never fought a serious battle before. What they used to do was to suppress bandits and investigate smuggling. . However, what is more in everyone's heart is hope. In the big man, military merit is a prestigious honor anywhere and at any time. Commander Li has been training them desperately for the past few years. He was a little resentful at first, but now, this The resentment has long since vanished, not only because Commander Li has been sharing weal and woe with them, but also because of the imminent war, more sweat in normal times, less bloodshed in wartime, and those vicious drills on weekdays. It became a life-saving panacea. After all, everyone is eager for military merit, but they don't want to enjoy it with their lives.
Different from the busy preparations of the Neihe Navy, Pengcheng, another important point at the junction of the Han and Chu King Huai's favorite Princess Shuyu~IndoMTL.com~ and the one who married the princess was a senior general infantryman of the big man.
The ambassador who sent off his relatives was Fan Zhuo, a senior official who had frequent dealings with Han. Of course, this time, besides sending off his relatives, he also took on the important task of making good friends with Han.
When the princess arrives, Pengcheng naturally wants to greet her grandly. While the guard is tight, at the same time, she must ensure that she does not spoil the joy, but the local officials in Pengcheng are very busy. It's fine if the princess wants to get married, but Fan Zhuo, the send-off ambassador, is a person worthy of fawning over. This person not only controls the production and sales of silk, the largest source of foreign trade in Chu, but is also the in-law of the sons and daughters of Huang Xie, the chief assistant of the Great Chu. , are dizzying titles, one end represents wealth, and the other end represents official position.
Liu An is the busiest of these officials, because besides currying favor with Fan Zhuo, he is also responsible for the security work of the entire Pengcheng. Rong was promoted to the position of General Pengcheng, and Bi Xuan, the former general of Pengcheng, is now the commander of the Imperial Guards in Yingdu. It can be said that the battle of Pengcheng was the victory of Chu State in defeating Han State and saving the precarious national fortune. It was a crucial battle, and the generals who participated in that battle were more or less promoted. Liu An was just one of them who was promoted relatively quickly.
Now Liu An is waiting at the gate of the city with a team of guards, because the wedding party from the Han Kingdom is about to arrive. (To be continued.)
