Inside Wuying Hall.

Zhang Nan held this bamboo slip in his hand and said, "The King, there are currently 4,125 military commanders, of which 1,316 are hidden in the army, various departments of the court, as well as the ministers' residences. This is a list of personnel, please check it out."

After Yuan Xi took it, he smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Nan in an official uniform, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."

"The king is serious, everything I have given to me is given by the king," Zhang Nan replied quickly and movedly.

"Haha, I have to talk about loyalty to others, but I don't need you at all. Over the years, the Military Control Commission has made countless great achievements with your efforts. I was able to successfully inherit the four continents. The Military Control Commission has made great achievements. I am a nostalgic person. Is that the same sentence not only emerged and became a formal institution of the court, enjoying benefits, and the rights remain unchanged, and the scale will be expanded," Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"King Xie" Zhang Nan immediately said gratefully.

"The main goal of the Military Control Commission before was to the north and to maintain the loyalty of the orphans. Now we have to shift a little. In addition to the above, it will spread more to the whole world, especially among the three places in the Yuan Dynasty, Xuzhou and Xiliang. Cao Cao's next step will definitely be Jingzhou and Yizhou. How can I let him do it?" Yuan Xi said with a cold look.

"King, don't worry, the Military Control Commission's goal has begun to shift to these three places," Zhang Nan said immediately.

"Okay, in addition, the military assassination team must also be strengthened. Although I love talents, some people cannot be loyal to me. Like Xun Lingjun, if you have the chance, kill them immediately. Of course, if it is Cao Cao, let alone, remember that any princes outside can act as long as they have a great opportunity," Yuan Xi instructed.

"Don't worry, I will let them know the terribleness of the Military Control Commission." Zhang Nan immediately exuded endless evil aura.

Yuan Xi nodded and said seriously: "Although Gu won this time, the losses in the first Guandu War were still too great. It will take at least two years to recuperate, encourage production and restore industry and commerce. The Military Commission should work harder. The contract is just a piece of waste paper. Only the opportunity is right, and Gu will send troops immediately."

"promise!"

"By the way, how is Qingzhou doing recently?" Yuan Xi said.

Zhang Nan frowned and said, "Report to the King, something went wrong in the battle of Qingzhou."

Yuan Xi immediately became serious and said, "What's going on?"

Qingzhou can also stop his army today, not to mention the battle-torn Iron Guards should sweep a hundred miles after his orders were issued.

"Report to the king, is that river?" Zhang Nan said seriously.

"He" Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean Shanghe!"

"It's true that the king doesn't know that Mr. Yuan Tan actually secretly formed a navy in Gaotang, with twenty-one warships," Zhang Nan sighed.

Yuan Xi's eyes narrowed and he sneered: "What a big brother, he still has such a trick."

"Whether to transfer General Gan Ning to the next place, he is familiar with the water war," Zhang Nan suggested.

"No need, the big battle situation has been decided. They are just relying on a river and struggling to death. Gu firmly believes that Jiao Chu can lead his troops to cross Shanghe and recover the entire Qingzhou in one fell swoop." Yuan Xi waved his domineering hand.

.....

The next day, in Pingyuan County, Qingzhou, on the north bank of Shang River, a huge military camp was stationed here.

At this time, in the commander's tent in the military camp, Jiao Tu looked at the group of generals in front of him and said angrily: "It's been three days since I found more than twenty small boats. What are you doing for?"

Originally, Jiao Chu was stationed in Pingyuan County to prevent the Qingzhou Yuan Tan army from heading north and stabilize the situation. However, after Yuan Xi returned from victory, Qingzhou refused to surrender, so the defense naturally turned into an attack. However, there was indeed a natural strategic barrier between Qingzhou and Jizhou, that is, Shanghe. Shanghe runs through the entire Qingzhou and goes straight into the sea. After Wang Xiu replied to Yuan Shao's suicide note, he immediately ordered the Shanghe ferry bridge and all nearby civil ships to burn the Gaotang. The simple navy stopped Yuan Xi's army from moving south, hoping to gain some time for Yuan Tan. Shanghe was urgent and deep, and without ships and ferry bridges, the army could not cross it at all. Hua Yan, the governor of Gaotang, who was guarding the opposite side, was Yuan Tan's confidant, just like Wang Xiu. He had a very tenacious personality and was unwilling to surrender. He was very smart. While guarding the ferry, he sent a navy to patrol the Shanghe River, completely shattering Jiao Tu's original plan to build a floating bridge to cross the river.

Jiao Chu knew that Yuan Xi was waiting for his good news, and then officially announced the founding of the country. Although Yuan Xi had never urged him, he understood the importance of regaining Qingzhou to Yuan Xi's announcement of the founding of the country.

"General, all the ships nearby were burned by Huayan. Half of these twenty or so ships were built by our army themselves, and many of them were even leaking. Even if there were, they were not the opponents of the dozens of regular warships in Gaotang. It is said that they were all made by experts from Jiangdong. Not to mention the Shanghe, the Yellow River, and the Yangtze River can traverse," a general said with a tough bullet.

Jiao Chu was stunned and then sighed. Who would have thought that in this northern land, Yuan Tan actually secretly formed a naval army as a defense. If his subordinates fight in real face, they will be extremely brave, but facing this river and naval army, they are indeed powerful and have nowhere to be used!

"You also know that the king is filial to seven days, one is to fulfill his filial piety, and the other is to wait for the news of our Iron Guards. Now our army is trapped on the north bank of Shanghe River and has not advanced for a single step. He has met the king with his face, and he has received the reward from the beginning of the country," Jiao Tu said sternly.

The generals looked ugly and lowered their heads. They really hated the river and the rampant naval army.

"General, don't worry." After the tent was suddenly lifted, he was covered in armor and wet. Sima Yi walked in with Cheng Erhu. He just arrived yesterday.

"Zhongda, what's wrong with you?" Jiao Tu looked at Sima Yi, who was soaked, and said in surprise.

"I just checked the Shanghe River and found that the river water was slightly slower than 20 miles downstream, so I could walk over the river." Sima Yi shook it and sent the water droplets and smiled.

Jiao Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhongda, I know this, but if I wade through the river and be discovered by the Gaotang navy, it will become a target."

"The general doesn't have to worry. You can organize a large army to build a floating bridge ten miles upstream, and attract all the naval warships. Then, you will take three thousand soldiers familiar with water to quickly wade through the Shang River and capture the ferry," Sima Yi said with his fist.

Jiao Tun's eyes flashed with light, "Build the plank road openly and pass through Chen Cang in secret."

"The general is wise, that's what he meant," Sima Yi said.

"But will three thousand be too few? It must be noted that the naval army camp not only has a large number of troops, but also has Gaotang City behind it," Jiao Chu said with some concern.

"General, peace of mind, Qingzhou has no master, their soldiers have no fighting resilience at all. As long as they are surprised and read out the king's order, they will definitely be able to occupy the naval camps quickly. Moreover, there are too few soldiers from the north who are familiar with the water nature. Three thousand are probably the ultimate," Sima Yi said seriously.

After thinking for a long time, Jiao Chu said seriously: "Since that's the case, I will go in person, and you will come to guard the camp."

Sima Yi showed a hint of emotion on his face and said, "Thank you for your concern for Yi, but the general shoulders the heavy responsibility of the 50,000 Iron Guards. How can you bear the danger yourself? Yi will take General Cheng Erhu over, that's enough."

Jiao Tu couldn't help but look at Cheng Erhu, who was even more burly and majestic than himself, and said, "Erhu".

"The last one will be in"

"You are very skilled in martial arts and far better than your general. This time the plan is very important, so you will accompany Zhongda. Remember, you must not let Zhongda suffer any losses." Jiao Chu said seriously. Sima Yi was obviously the king who valued talents very much. This time, the recovery of Qingzhou is to earn qualifications. If something happens, although there will be no problem with his status, it is not easy to explain to Yuan Xi.

"Don't worry, General," Cheng Erhu replied loudly.

"Okay" Jiao Teng nodded, looked at Sima Yi and said seriously: "Zhongda, then follow the plan and be careful. Our army cannot be delayed."

"General, don't worry," Sima Yi clasped his fists.
