How dare a surrendered general disobey King Cao Cao of Wei?
If it had been normal, his end would have been to move his head!
However, Huang Zu is the only general in the entire Cao camp who is proficient in naval warfare, so he is worth a lot of money!
Even Cao Cao didn't dare to deal with it easily.
If he wanted to eliminate Lu Xun and vent his hatred, he could only count on Huang Zu.
Despite all his reluctance, Cao Cao could only express a vague apology to Huang Zu for his previous actions.
Huang Zu didn't dare to do anything too extreme. After a few words, he agreed to Cao Cao's request.
However, Huang Zu did not promise any results as he had before, but only reluctantly expressed that he would do his best.
After this battle, the only naval force was completely destroyed.
It is extremely difficult to defeat Jiangdong County, which is soaked in the river all day long, with Cao's army that does not hesitate to swim.
What's more, there is such a troublesome commander as Lu Xun.
Cao Cao did not show any dissatisfaction with Huang Zu's ambiguity.
As long as everything goes smoothly, Cao Jun still has a huge numerical advantage.
Under Cao Cao's order, Cao Cao's army was divided into two.
Due to the ban, the 100,000 infantry led by Mao and Jie were officially divided into naval forces and handed over to Huang Zu for training.
The remaining nearly 40,000 people cooperated with the navy and began to work hard to build water forts, warships and other necessary expenses for the navy.
Wulin is located at the intersection of mountains and water. It has abundant water and soil resources and almost inexhaustible wood.
With the support of Lu Zhai, Cao Jun began to operate crazily.
Despite the large number of people involved in the construction, the pace was still very slow.
Without naval forces and warships, the construction of water villages was extremely difficult.
It took a whole month to just stand up!
This was due to Lu Xun keeping his promise.
There was no sneak attack, and even the gate of Chibi Water Village was never opened again.
Cao Cao didn't think this was Lu Xun's "mercy", everything was already as expected by Guo Jia.
It's not that Jiang Dongjun doesn't want to take care of Cao Jun, but he doesn't have the time and energy.
Within a month, civil strife broke out in Jiangdong!
Half of the six counties and ninety-two counties are in a state of war.
The only ones that did not cause turmoil were Jiangxia, where Lu Xun was in charge, and Lujiang, where Zhou Yu was in charge.
Time flies, and June comes in a blink of an eye.
There was a tense situation on the Yangtze River, but no more fighting broke out.
Liu Bei of Jingnan was also stationed at the police station very calmly and stood still.
Determined to continue pretending to be dead and waiting for Cao Cao, Lu Xun would decide the winner.
Except for the war-torn Jiangdong counties, the world fell into peace again.
After the establishment of Cao Jun's water stronghold, the infantry formally conducted naval training.
After a period of practice, there was no progress, and various problems continued to arise.
Even Huang Zu, a general who had traveled across the Yangtze River for many years and specialized in naval warfare, could not help but frown and be helpless.
Often if one difficulty is not solved, the second and third difficulties will follow!
As time went by, the problems piled up, making Huang Zu breathless.
It seems that what Lu Xun said has come true. Jingzhou and Yangzhou are not places where Cao Cao can show off!
Cao Cao was naturally extremely dissatisfied with this.
If any problem arises in navy training, Huang Zu will be asked for everything!
"King Wei, the weather is very hot and humid, and it is the rainy season! The northern soldiers are not used to the southern weather, and there are many diseases in the army."
"Today, not to mention training, the soldiers started to vomit and feel weak while standing on the warship!"
"The army was tortured extremely by the disease and weather, and suffered heavy casualties! There were less than 10,000 soldiers who could be trained normally..."
Huang Zu fell to his knees and cried to Cao Cao about his predicament.
The physical problems of the soldiers were no longer something Huang Zu could solve.
He never thought that the northern soldiers would be tortured by the weather and become like this, let alone that they could not stand calmly on the warship after training for so long!
"You have led the navy for many years, don't you have some solution?"
Cao Cao was relatively peaceful and did not blame everything on Huang Zu. He just asked him if there was a solution.
In response, Huang Zu could only shake his head helplessly.
If there was any way, he would not kneel in front of Cao Cao in such frustration.
"Hey, the general is incompetent and has failed the king of Wei!"
"The general never thought that the northern soldiers would be so afraid of the river..."
Almost all of the 100,000 navy troops were in panic!
The best way now is to recruit Jingxiang locals as navy troops.
He can not only accept the climate on the Yangtze River in summer, but also understand the nature of water.
It is a pity that Nanjun has been emptied by Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, and no one can recruit for Cao Cao.
"Ahem... King Wei, I ahem... I also have some bad news to report."
Guo Jia's words directly made Cao Cao's melancholy mood even more depressed.
What a blessing and misfortune!
"Fengxiao, what's the matter?"
"Ahem... Right now, not only are diseases rampant among the navy, but many of the infantry on shore are also falling ill."
"Ahem, cough, cough... If this continues, I'm afraid, cough, cough... soldiers will suffer widespread casualties."
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, who kept coughing violently, with worry in his eyes.
This hot and humid climate makes people extremely irritable. Guo Jia has been coughing for a long time.
His originally rosy complexion also became extremely pale.
If this continues, Cao Cao is worried that Guo Jia will not be able to hold on!
Hot and humid!
Not to mention Guo Jia, even Cao Cao himself was extremely miserable in this kind of weather.
Being by the river, it is indeed a little cooler, but my clothes feel like water is squirting out of them!
Especially the itching all over my body is really unbearable!
As the king of Wei, Cao Cao is like this. You can imagine the generals in the army!
"General Huang, please go down first and let me think of a solution." '
Cao Cao waved his hand impatiently and drove Huang Zu out.
This handsome tent was huge, but with the addition of Huang Zu, Cao Cao found it difficult to even breathe!
"Cough cough cough...!"
Another violent coughing forcefully dragged Cao Cao out of his irritability.
"Fengxiao, how are you!"
Guo Jia is Cao Cao's only hope.
If he falls, Cao Cao really doesn't know what to do.
"King Wei, I'm fine...cough, cough, cough!"
Every time Guo Jia coughed, Cao Cao's heart hurt like a needle pricking him.
All the current difficulties are the consequences of Cao Cao's willfulness.
Now Cao Cao also regrets it!
"Fengxiao, I regret that I didn't listen to you, so I let the army put you in this situation!"
"Damn kid Lu Xun, damn kid Sun Quan, damn big-eared thief! We can't get around them alone!"
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's insults caused Guo Jia to cough even more violently.
"Cough cough cough...!"
"Fengxiao!"
Cao Cao turned pale with fright, fearing that Guo Jia would not be able to hold on and fainted.
After a long time, Guo Jiacai waved his hand weakly.
"King Wei, I'm fine..."
"Now that things have come to this, I have something I have to say!"
"Faced with such a dilemma, King Wei might as well withdraw his troops..."
