Zhuge Liang returned to Jiujiang Port in Yuzhang County, and this time he returned in vain, which made Zhuge Liang very angry.

The soldiers who stayed behind couldn't understand why the commander of the others had returned so quickly.

After the army returned to the port, Zhuge Liang sat down on the main seat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the generals and staff officers under his command entered the big tent of the Chinese army one after another. Because Zhuge Liang's face was not so good-looking, all the people who came in did not dare to talk nonsense.

Guan Yu, as the chief general of Jiujiang Port, wanted to ask about the next step, but Wen Ping kept giving Guan Yu a look, so that Guan Yu did not dare to speak.

The atmosphere was very oppressive and quiet.

A soldier asks to see outside the tent, indicating that there is an important military report.

"Let him in!" Zhuge Liang said lightly.

The soldier half-knelt in front of Zhuge Liang, holding the battle report passed by Zhang Liao with both hands.

"Read!" Zhuge Liang was still expressionless.

The soldier immediately opened Zhang Liao's battle report, and its content was exactly the same as what Zhuge Liang encountered here. Zhang Liao said that he had temporarily retreated, waiting for Zhuge Liang's new instructions.

The atmosphere in the big tent became even more depressing, and I didn't expect Zhang Liao to be like this.

Zhuge Liang stood up, and everyone became nervous, not knowing what Zhuge Liang would do.

I saw Zhuge Liang come to the side of the map, holding his feather fan and depicting something. Such a situation is incomprehensible to everyone.

"Hahaha." Suddenly, Zhuge Liang let out a hearty laugh.

Everyone present glanced at each other, Zhuge Junshi has always been unfathomable, today's gaffe, is it because he was stimulated, and the nerve in his brain is wrong? It's not impossible, Zhuge Junshi went to the expedition this time with an absolute chance of winning, and in the end he did a futile return. How does this make Zhuge Junshi explain to His Majesty. Zhuge Junshi was a young man, and it was smooth sailing all the way, and the setbacks he experienced now will not be unacceptable for a while, and his brain has been hurt.

"Master Zhuge Junshi, you must not think too much. If you think too much, we're in trouble. "Many people are praying in their hearts.

Guan Yu didn't think so, he felt that Zhuge Liang seemed to see something, and immediately stood up and asked, "Military advisor, is there a way to break Jiangdong!?" ”

Zhuge Liang turned around, returned to his previous unfathomable appearance, and said appreciatively: "Yun Chang is really a general's talent, you can see it at a glance!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized that Zhuge Liang was not the wrong nerve in his brain just now, and he had hysteria. Instead, I saw the loopholes in Koto! Everyone was secretly sad, and Guan Yu could see it at a glance, which proved that he and others could not be compared with Guan Yu. There is still a huge gap between people.

The military advisor praised it falsely. The last general knew that the military division was extremely resourceful, and the Jiangdong Military Region had a small plan, and the military division would definitely come up with a way. Guan Yu said solemnly.

Everyone admired Guan Yu. Seeing it, others are looking for all kinds of flattery to say it, and General Guan has reached the point where he can't change his eyes. Looking at the very useful appearance of Zhuge Military Division, you know that General Guan has touched his cool point.

Zhuge Liang beckoned everyone to the side of the map and said, "Everyone, Jiangdong Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have used the strategy of crossing the river with an iron cable, and they can indeed resist our army. But there are also fatal aspects to this. And it is this fatal point that makes Jiangdong no longer able to give our army and create any trouble for the imperial court. ”

Everyone stared at the map and listened carefully to Zhuge Liang's words, they all knew that Zhuge Liang always said half and left half when he spoke, so that he could keep pretending.

Wen Ping glanced at it a few times, and then said with admiration: "The military advisor is high." The iron cable across the river can block our army's attack from top to bottom, and if our army wants to attack Jiangdong, it can only go south or attack from Poyang Lake. Sun Ce must have placed a heavy army in Poyang Lake. It is very difficult for our army to attack. But it will be even more difficult for them to attack us. ”

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang is very pleased, Wenpin is also a rare talent.

Zhuge Liang said to everyone: "Jiangdong has not been able to cause trouble for the imperial court since then, and Your Majesty can calmly throw more troops into other places." It seems that I, the commander of the conquest of Jiangdong, have also reached the end of time. ”

In the last sentence, Zhuge Liang said the truth. If Jiangdong's side couldn't open the situation, then Liu Yu wouldn't have put so many troops here. The conquest of Jiangdong came to an end. Zhuge Liang's position will also be dismissed, which is reasonable.

Everyone didn't know what Zhuge Liang meant, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Zhuge Liang smiled very freely: "What are you doing?" They all sat upright, and their divisions didn't care much about this position. You don't have to worry. ”

Although Zhuge Liang said so, who knows what Zhuge Liang thought in his heart, including Wen Ping and Guan Yu, they didn't dare to say a word.

Zhuge Liang is actually really unhappy in his heart, everyone knows that if Zhuge Liang succeeds in taking Jiangdong, then his name must be written on the history of the Han Dynasty and achieve immortal prestige. Zhuge Liang is also constantly working hard for this. It's a pity that it was ruined by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce this time.

Zhuge Liang then wrote down his situation into a chapter, and then sent someone to Luoyang to ask Liu Yu for instructions on the next step. said that he was asking for instructions, but Zhuge Liang could guess what Liu Yu would ask him to do. It is nothing more than attacking Yuzhou and solving Cao Cao.

Since he could guess, Zhuge Liang ordered the people below to start preparing. Guan Yu, Wen Ping and the others immediately took the order and left, not suspecting Zhuge Liang's intentions.

After no one around, Zhuge Liang said hatefully: "It's really unwilling! Zhou Yu, you kid remember me! ”

Zhuge Liang is still obsessed with Jiangdong's affairs. The incident happened so suddenly, Zhuge Liang still can't think of any way to get over now.

Jiangdong used the iron cable to cross the river, so that Liu's attack was in vain.

This made the whole Koto relax. The defeat of Chaisang, the loss of Lujiang, and the defeat of Jiangdong seem to have been decided. But at this critical moment, Zhou Yu and Zhou Dadu, the governor of Jiangdong, did not disappoint the people loyal to Sun Ce, but simply crossed the river with iron cables, and it was very difficult for Liu Jun to take a step forward.

Many people in Jiangdong sighed that Zhou Dudu was powerful, and his strategy was superb, which was really not comparable to them. There are also some people who secretly resent Zhou Yu, such a strategy should have been taken out earlier, otherwise it would not have led to the failure of Chaisang and Lujiang. Of course, they are only talking about it in secret, and they don't dare to do it on the surface. They still want to keep their heads for food.

The military and civilians in Jiangdong were relaxed, but the masterminds Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had heavy faces. Both of them knew that the iron rope across the river could resist for a while, but it also cut off Jiangdong's way of life.

Zhuge Liang scolded this immoral strategy before, and what he said was not wrong at all. The iron rope is across the river, and it is indeed lacking in virtue. The merchants of Jiangdong would not be able to travel by water to other places until the iron rope was removed. It's deadly.

Jiangdong has a lot of resources, but with the current technical means and surveys, they can't be found at all. Coupled with the blockade on Liu Yu's side, Jiangdong will have less and less capital to dominate the world. Among them, the most serious is the war horse, Sun Ce knows that the cavalry has an irreparable role in the Central Plains campaign, and has always been interested in forming a large-scale cavalry force in Jiangdong. And Jiangdong does not produce horses at all, and Sun Ce's plan has never been realized. Originally, Jiangdong could also rely on Cao Cao's funding and the smuggling of some illegal businessmen. Now that the Lujiang River has been taken off and the waterway has been cut off, the source of the war horse is a big problem. Another point is that the Jiangdong side will not be able to go out in the future. The iron rope crossed the river, blocking the attack of others, and also blocking his own attack. Unless Sun Ce is bold enough to attack the Central Plains by sea. Unfortunately, this idea is unrealistic.

"Hehe, in the future, I, Zhou Yu, will be a sinner in Jiangdong." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly.

Sun Ce persuaded on the side: "Gongjin, in my heart, you will always be Jiangdong and my benefactor. ”

Zhou Yu was very pleased, as long as Sun Ce could understand him, it was enough to have such a brother in this life. Life is a lifetime, the grass and trees are autumn, regardless of whether it will be a hundred years in the future, or a stench for ten thousand years.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce put aside the distractions in their minds, in today's situation, it is pointless to think about so much mess. Liu Jun's offensive was stopped, and Jiangdong needed to prepare a lot of things in this limited time to make Jiangdong's strength go to the next level.

Troop strength is the one thing that Zhou Yu thinks about the most. There were not many people in Jiangdong, and the previous few times to resist Liu Jun had exhausted all the troops that Jiangdong could recruit. So much so that Zhou Yu adopted such a strategy that harmed others and himself.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce decided to divide the force into three parts. The first part was arranged behind the iron array, and patrolled every day and night, so that Liu Jun could not step further.

In the second part, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have already deployed a large number of sailors in Poyang Lake, which was the training base of the Jiangdong Navy before, and Liu Jun's navy can only advance through Poyang Lake on the waterway. Although Poyang Lake is large, there are many reefs, and it is very dangerous for large-scale ships to travel here. On the Jiangdong side, it is enough to deploy defensive forces in key water areas.

In the third part, Zhou Yu concentrated all his forces in Jianye City. Zhou Yu found that Jianye City was surrounded by flat terrain and fertile land, surrounded by dangers, which was very suitable as a capital. Concentrating these forces here would allow Sun Ce to stabilize the entire Jiangdong and suppress all the elements who dared to mess around.

At the same time, Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Ce increase his control over the local area, and set up a supervisor in the remaining counties in Jiangdong, so that he could lead a small number of cavalry and patrol constantly. These supervisors are only responsible to Sun Ce, and no one is allowed to interfere. In this way, it can achieve the effect of monitoring the place, and it can also train the cavalry, pacify the people, and suppress the thieves.

Sun Ce happily agreed, this way is the best.

The other is to order the craftsmen to build warships and train weapons for later use.

After the military arrangements were completed, Zhou Yu wanted to focus on internal affairs. However, this time Zhou Yu didn't dare to decide by himself, he asked Sun Ce to find Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin and other internal affairs experts to come over and discuss together.

Sun Ce also felt that it made sense, so he ordered all the people mentioned by Zhou Yu to gather here.

Soon, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin and others came to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce didn't waste too much time and said what he meant.

Everyone knew that Zhou Yu had implemented the strategy of crossing the river with an iron cable, and they all knew that Jiangdong was going to be finished, and they would not be able to make trouble for Liu Yu in the future. The only consolation is that Koto is safe now. But it was only a matter of time before it perished, and it was just that many people did not dare to mention it.

Now Sun Ce needs them to come up with the best way to recover Jiangdong at this time, everyone is Sun Ce's subordinates, and with the money given by Sun Ce, they naturally want to do things for Sun Ce wholeheartedly.

After gathering all the masters of internal affairs in Jiangdong and spending a certain amount of time, Sun Ce's side negotiated a complete set of plans to restore his strength.

The first is the tuntian, where the soldiers adopt the model of half army and half agriculture, and let them reclaim wasteland in their leisure time without training.

The second is to encourage land reclamation. As long as it is a common person in Jiangdong, the cultivated land belongs to him, and he does not have to pay taxes on the land for three years.

The third is to encourage the people to have more children and raise more. The disadvantage of Koto is that it has a small population. If you want to have enough troops in the future, you need to have more children now. The way to encourage fertility is nothing more than to reduce taxes and reward things. That's what Sun Ce did. But now the treasury of Jiangdong is pitiful, and it is exempt from taxes and rewards, and the treasury can't afford it.

Of course, Zhou Yu and the others naturally thought of a way, and they looked at the wealthy family. These families are all rich existences, and it is really refreshing to scrape from them.

The family of Koto is about to be unlucky again.

In addition to these, there are policies such as building water conservancy, recruiting soldiers, and so on.

All of them are gathered together, and it has the meaning of building Koto into a paradise on earth.

It's a pity that if Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others had such thoughts and concentrations many years ago, I'm afraid Jiangdong is not the case now.

Koto is now cowering in a corner, trying to use time to create space to continue to dominate the world in the future. But everyone who cares knows that Jiangdong has no chance of winning, and he will not be able to compete with Emperor Shenwu in the future.

And Jiang Dong's self-conscious strategy also killed another group of people.

This group of people is Cao Cao and Liu Xie in Yuzhou.

The Jiangdong Iron Cable crossed the river, and it was okay to protect itself, but it castrated the attack of Jiangdong to itself. Liu Jun didn't have any worries, and he could deal with Yuzhou freely.
