The night in Chaisang was quiet, and Sun Quan, who had mastered the vast land of Jiangdong, walked by the river. Half a step behind his right hand was a tall and handsome Confucian general.

This man was wearing a white robe and a sharp sword hanging on his waist. The darkness could not completely block the heroic spirit that burst out from his body. Even Sun Quan, the owner of Jiangdong, was more than an inch shorter beside him, like a servant.

The man looked at the tides that were constantly surging in the dark river, and couldn't help but think of himself walking here many years ago.

At that time, they were young and energetic, looking down on the heroes of the world, without any servants, and marching in the night, they talked about revenge in their hearts. The heroes of the world were so happy that they could suppress the roar of the river.

The man of Koss has passed away. Now he has lost his elegance and elegance. Even in his white robe, he has become a little more gloomy and heavy, like a tiger and leopard ambushed in the dark.

Sun Quan looked at the surging river and smiled:

"Now Bo Yan should have arrived in Xiakou. It will take a few days before we can know the truth of Cao's army. Alas, if it weren't for Gongjin, I really wouldn't dare to fight with Cao Gong."

Zhou Yu said humbly:

"The Supreme Word is solemn."

Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, revealing a little unhappiness, but no one can notice it in the darkness. He smiled heartily, stopped and grabbed Zhou Yu's palm, and sighed:

"What is the supreme? Just let it be for Zijing and the others to call. My mother once said in person that she treated Gongjin as her son, and also told me to treat you as my brother. Why should the students respect the supreme and call each other, and instead become more accustomed to it."

Zhou Yu replied humbly:

"The general is the lord of Jiangdong, and Yu dares not abolish the etiquette."

Sun Quan had no choice but to smile and shake his head. The two continued to walk by the river. The sound of wind and the flow of the river continued. The two did not speak for a while. The follower behind him held up the torch and observed the surroundings vigilantly, illuminating the way forward for the two.

Finally, Sun Quan stopped again.

"When the old thief asked me to hand over the proton before, I was determined to fight him to the end. How many troops will Gongjin want this time?" Sun Quan smiled even more warmly.

Sun Quan's methods have to be said to be clever.

People in Jiangdong even Lu Su thought that Zhou Yu was still training the navy in Poyang, and Zhang Zhao also believed that he was confident that he could control the overall situation. Sun Quan also showed his fear of Cao Cao in a proper manner. Zhang Zhao transferred his side to Shi Shi and organized Guan Ping to assault Cao's army. These things were under Sun Quan's nose, but Sun Quan deliberately pretended not to care and did not care. It seemed that he was living in the fear of the army being overwhelmed, and he had no choice but to these Jiangdong clans.

Sun Quan was able to sit firmly in Jiangdong and gain support from these Jiangdong clans all depended on Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao failed this time and had a handle in Sun Quan's hands. The mission of this powerful minister who was granted the heavy burden of entrusting his or her will be almost completed, and Sun Quan would slowly regain his power.

The Lunar Proposal was because Sun Quan had already made arrangements. This Confucian scholar from Jiangdong was capable, famous, and had upward ambitions. The most important thing was that his conflict with Sun Quan was not irreconcilable.

Lu Kang, who was forced to death by Sun Ce, was Lu Yi's uncle. This hatred was not too great. Sun Quan could reconcile Ling Tong and Gan Ning, and showed kindness to the Lu family's talent, saying that he would cultivate him with all his strength in the future. The Lu family's talent indeed highly praised him, and even used the exclusive title invented by Lu Su in his words.

Supreme.

It sounds so comfortable, but Sun Quan knew that he could not accept this title yet.

He needs a complete victory in a great battle to prove himself, and he also needs to prove that he is the sharp knife he released.

As long as he defeated Cao Cao, Zhang Zhao would never be able to command himself as an elder in the future. The Jiangdong clans would be forced to accept reality and be closely linked to their own interests.

This is checks and balances.

Zhou Yu had a calm face and talked:

"General, you inherited the old power of your father and brother, ruled the six counties, had sufficient soldiers and enough food, and the soldiers were full of morale. Moreover, casting mountains into copper, boiling sea into salt, people's hearts and strong men's style, which can be said to be invincible. Cao Cao entrusted his name as the prime minister of Han, but he was actually a thief of Han. He dared to abandon his saddle and fight against us on a boat. He was seeking death."

"Now the weather is getting colder, and the soldiers in the Central Plains are not adapted to the local conditions, so they will definitely suffer from illness. Although Cao Cao's Central Plains have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, he has been exhausted from fighting for a long time. The Jingzhou navy is 70,000 to 80,000, but he is unwilling to surrender.

I only have 50,000 elite soldiers to win."

Sun Quan frowned and thought that 50,000 yuan was almost all his family, if it came out in full...

"This is a long-term plan, let's first see how Guan Ping wins and loses."

Zhou Yu showed a hint of disappointment, but he could only nod.

Sun Quan took out a cardboard box from his sleeve and opened it carefully. Under the glimmer of the torch, Zhou Yu clearly saw that it was a crystal clear, square thing like white jade.

"Zi Jing said that this is something that Guan Ping picked up from the Han River after defeating Cao Chun. This thing is so fragrant that it is quite magical. I have never been reluctant to eat it."

Sun Quan said, split the soap in half, handed it to Zhou Yu, and slowly handed the remaining half to his mouth.

Zhou Yu immediately flew up, grabbed it, and said in fear:

"This thing is not clear from, so how can you eat it indiscriminately? Supreme... Supreme, be careful."

Sun Quan nodded slightly and sighed slightly:

"It's right. Alas, it would be great if my elder brother could be as cautious as Gongjin."

·

On the Yangtze River, Cao's huge warships advanced thousands of sails together. Under the command of Cao Ren, the general of Cao's army, the 30,000 naval forces attacked with a stance of Mount Tai and began to march towards Xiakou.

The nominal naval commander Zhang Yun had long been full of energy when he went to war. He stood in the cabin and walked around blankly, full of anxiety about the battle that seemed to be determined to win this time.

The reason is no different. Although their troops have far exceeded that of Liu Bei's army, the commander Cao Ren has no experience in commanding the navy.

Zhang Yun thought he was not a master of water warfare, but Cao Ren's command was extremely clumsy in front of him. For example, Cao Ren actually used the tactics of commanding infantry to order Cao's large ships to move closer and form a formation.

When this order was issued, the Jingzhou navy could not believe its ears.

They are big ships, and they are moving along the current. It is obvious that they should use fighting ships to find the enemy's traces in front of them. Large ships such as siege, which are specially used to collide closely, and when they find the enemy's traces, they disperse the ships, collide with the enemy and then launch close combat. Then the boats surrounded them and tried to board the ship from all over the place to launch an attack. Xu Shu also emphasized in his tactics that the advantage of many ships should be used, and even the surface of the Yangtze River should be covered as much as possible. In this way, the enemy can not only discover the enemy's movements in time, but also the enemy will not dare to rush into our army to attack the commander's ship at will when the war begins.

This will show the advantage of having more ships and big ships. Can the opposite side still shoot thousands of arrows at the same time and sink the ship directly like fighting on the ground?

But Cao Ren and the soldiers under him didn't think so - Xu Shu was a stinky beggar, and he really regarded himself as a figure. If he didn't listen to him, wouldn't he fight?

Let me say one more thing by the way.

Cao Ren is Cao Chun's biological brother.

So Cao Ren ordered all the big ships to gather together. From a distance, the naval brigade of Cao's army was like a giant island floating in the Yangtze River. It looked extremely majestic and terrifying, and it really made people frightened.

but!

Cao Ren didn't know the existence of the ship suction effect, nor did he know the Bernoulli equation. Because the water flow rate between the big ships was slow, they would not collide with each other for a while. However, many of the more than 30,000 people drove small boats (walking boats). Because the distance was too close, they collided one after another. Many people were hit and fell directly into the water from the boat. Cao Ren laughed and said that the navy in Jingzhou was just like this.

What are you fighting this...

I hope that the entire Liu Bei army will be retreating in Xiakou. If we fight in the water, we will suffer a great loss.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Yun plucked up the courage to see Cao Ren, and asked Cao Ren to listen to Xu Shu's advice.

But when Cao Ren's personal guard leader heard about this, he immediately snorted disdainfully and shook Zhang Yun again, meaning that he would give him some benefits.

But Zhang Yun was anxious now and didn't understand the hint at all. The head of the guard's face suddenly covered with clouds and he sneered:

"What is Xu Shu? My general is from all over the country, and no one knows water war better than him. Just drive the boat well."

The head of the personal guard looked philistine, which made Zhang Yun quite annoyed. He was still waiting for further debate when he suddenly heard a soldier shouting in surprise:
Chapter completed!
