Sun Quan carefully flipped through the naval strategy, although he had never led soldiers, but he had read the book, how Zhou Yu trained the sailors, he had also seen it, and he still understood something.

Looking at the naval strategy in his hand with a somewhat solemn face, Sun Quan looked at it very seriously, and Zhou Yu didn't bother, and time passed little by little.

I don't know how long it took, Sun Quan has turned the battle strategy of the water army to the last page, put down the book, and was silent, this water army strategy is easy to understand, as long as you are literate, it is easy to understand, and the most of them is to analyze the water war examples that appeared in ancient times, which is not very profound, but the art of war, in fact, spreads out the truth, it is not profound, and the more important thing is the application of the generals, it is impossible to copy it.

But judging from Chen Mo's analysis of each battle, Chen Mo has indeed studied the tactics of the naval army quite deeply, at least the mistakes that are easy to make in the water war are all pointed out, Sun Quan raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, this book is really written by Chen Mo?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded, whether it was written by Chen Mo alone, he didn't know, but one thing was certain, Chen Mo understood the method of water warfare, and judging from this book, Chen Mo's research on the water army would not be too bad, at least he understood the basic truth.

"Not only that, according to what Xi Zuo said, Chen Mo has already distributed this book to generals everywhere for study." Zhou Yu said solemnly.

"With just a military book, I'm afraid I can't become a water general." Sun Quan said uncertainly, he also read a lot of military books, Sun Quan felt that if he led the troops, it should not be too bad, he often discussed with others, calculated the battle with the sand table, and felt that even if the battlefield was not bad, although he had never told anyone so, but he always felt that this was the case in his heart, at this moment, Sun Quan hoped that his thoughts were wrong.

Chen Mo is now dominant in the world, the land battle can be called invincible, even Cao Cao was defeated in his hands, the only thing Sun Quan can rely on is the Yangtze River moat and the Jiangdong naval army, if Chen Mo's naval army is also so strong, Sun Quan doesn't know what else he can use to compete with Chen Mo.

"If the navy wants to become an army, not only the generals need to be familiar with the strategy of water warfare, the sturdiness of the warship, the training of the navy is indispensable, and it is also necessary to fight constantly, although it is not found that Chen Mo is training sailors, but this book has now fallen into the market, and the minister suspects that Chen Mo has already started the training of the navy, but our army has not yet received the news!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

This is what he is most worried about, the training of the navy is not just if you dig a pit and train in the water, that is too underestimate the navy, the wind and clouds on the river are changing, whether it is a general or a soldier, you have to be familiar with the feeling of the waves, and the generals must make the most correct response in the shortest possible time, which requires continuous experience of water warfare, in order to cultivate a naval army general with rich combat experience, the Central Plains, there is no suitable place and environment for naval training, but since Chen Mo is so familiar with water warfare, it is impossible not to know the power of water warfare, Maybe there is something he didn't think of, which is what Zhou Yu is most worried about.

"Gong Jin thinks that if Chen Mo wants to train the navy, where will he choose?" Sun Quan frowned.

"The coast of the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea, when the ship was sent to pick up the Cao family, the minister personally led the fleet to detour through Qingzhou, the urgency of the waves on the sea, a hundred times better than the big river, is the near sea, it is easy to capsize, if you can train a naval army in the sea, it is no less than our Jiangdong naval army, and the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea are vast and sparsely populated, and it is not easy to be detected, and it is only suitable for these two places to conceal our army." Zhou Yu bowed and said.

Although Guangling also had suitable places, Guangling was too close to Jiangdong and could easily be detected by them, and it was unlikely that Chen Mo would train a naval army in Guangling.

"If Chen Mo really trains the navy army in these two places, can Gong Jin have a countermeasure?" Sun Quan frowned and said, he naturally didn't want Chen Mo to train a water army.

"Rest assured, my lord, if today, the most sophisticated shipbuilders are all in my Jiangdong area, on top of this water war, in addition to the navy, the ship is also very important, Yu has notified the Lu family to step up efforts to build a stronger ship, a boat, and my Jiangdong has been growing in strength over the years, if it is just a water war, Chen Mo is a naval army, and it is impossible for me to be an opponent in Jiangdong." Zhou Yu said confidently.

Others may be possible, but in the production of ships, Koto has always been the strongest in the world, and in this regard, Koto has the advantage.

"In addition, the minister thinks that it is necessary to determine whether the enemy army really has trained the navy." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Didn't Gong Jin just say that these two places are vast and sparsely populated, and it is extremely difficult to explore?" Sun Quan was surprised.

"It's hard to explore, but training the navy, you also get food, and you need timber for shipbuilding, and now you have a general direction, as long as you carefully explore the direction and quantity of grain, grass, and timber in these two places, it is not difficult to find out." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "The last general is here, just to inform the lord of this matter, prepare early, between my Jiangdong and Chen Mo, sooner or later there will be a battle!" ”

Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, in fact, although Jiangdong has not been able to follow Chen Mo's reform in recent years, many things are learning from Chen Mo, such as the new agricultural tools researched in Luoyang, which will also be imitated here, as well as grafting technology, Sun Quan also encouraged the people under his rule to open up wasteland, and the fields that were cultivated could be exempted from taxes for three years, encouraging childbirth and so on.

Not only him, Liu Bei did more exaggerated in Lingling and Wuling two counties, in order to resettle those people who were taken from Nanyang, Wuling and Lingling two counties have almost never stopped, and even Liu Bei followed the edict of the Goujian period to reward childbirth, men over fifteen are guilty of not marrying, women are over thirteen not marrying, and their parents are guilty.

But no matter how you learn, you can't catch up with Chen Mo's development speed after all, and the population of the people's basic territory is there, how can you compare? In order to increase the population, Sun Quan even began to order large-scale development in Jiaozhou, but this thing is a slow job, and it may not be possible to see any results in three or five years, and Chen Mo, as far as Sun Quan knows, has begun to implement various policies for the benefit of the people more than ten years ago, and Chen Mo is still quite domineering, and the rebels of the Central Plains Shi clan were directly and indirectly killed and exterminated by Chen Mo, and now it is estimated that they are too many to count.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei don't have that courage, and even if they don't learn from Chen Mo, now Jingzhou and Jiangdong families also feel the pressure from the Central Plains, and they begin to take the initiative to rely on Liu Bei and Sun Quan, actively help, and don't care about various policies that benefit the people, even if they will hurt their interests, they are afraid that after Chen Mo really captures Jiangdong, he will continue to implement those policies, in terms of effect, in fact, it may not be worse than Chen Mo, and this has to be thanks to Chen Mo, so that Jiangdong and Jingzhou have unprecedented cohesion.

Zhou Yu said goodbye and left, he had a sense of urgency, this big war, I don't know if it is inevitable, and it may not be too long, now the situation in the Central Plains, at most three or five years, Chen Mo is afraid that the next war will be set off, and when it really comes, Jiangdong may have to do his best.

……

Chen Mo's patrol is a big event, although it is said that he will leave every three or five days, but in fact, it took half a month for Chen Mo to really start to set off after a trivial matter such as the scale of the trip, the accompanying guards, and the choice of route.

This time, because he had to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, not only Chen's mother followed, but Yang Qing's father and son also accompanied him, and his family members were all dispatched by the whole family, and there were thirty maids with him.

"Mother, this carriage is specially built by the craftsman camp, what do you think?" Chen Mo's car was built by Ma Jun himself, with sixteen war horses pulling, spacious and necessary, in the middle of it, it felt like a mobile house, after all, his mother was old, Chen Mo was worried that he would not be able to stand the pain of the journey, so after having this idea, he let the craftsman make it.

Although such a carriage is actually impossible to walk on many roads, it is enough to take the official road.

"It's not that I haven't endured hardships for my mother, how much money does it cost to make such a big carriage? My son has always been compassionate to the people, why is it so wasteful this time? Mother Chen looked at this car as big as a house, and complained a little, such a big carriage, let alone sitting, it was the first time to see it.

"Mother rest assured, this thing is allocated with the child's money, the world has had a bumper harvest in recent years, and the treasury is abundant, besides, who said that caring for the people can't hurt the money? The people get compassion, but what they should enjoy, they also have to enjoy, the child has been running for half his life, isn't it just that his family can live a good life? Chen Mo took his mother's hand and said with a smile.

"You, it's just a lot of crooked reasoning, although my son is in a high position now, but because of this, he should be careful in everything, set an example, and not live up to the support of the people in the world." Chen's mother knew that she couldn't talk about her son.

"Don't worry, the child understands! I'm forty~" Chen Mo grinned, at such an old age, he was still trained by his mother and son, it was really ......

"How's forty? I'm almost sixty years old for my mother, I can't say it? Mother Chen was stunned.

"Of course, no matter how old you are, you are also a son." Chen Mo glared at the wives and concubines who were snickering on the side, and said with a smile.

"So are you!" After training Chen Mo, Chen's mother looked at Cai Yan and the others again, and said solemnly: "As Bodao's wife and concubine, you should not only have fun with him and continue the bloodline, but also urge him. ”

"Oh~" The five girls bowed to Chen's mother obediently: "My mother's instructions are." ”

Looking at the world, I am afraid that only his mother can train Chen Mo like this.

"Alas~ I don't want to train you for my mother, but because my mother is getting older, I can't wait long, if one day, I will give up for my mother......" Mother Chen sighed, her tone became soft, and she wanted to say something more.

"Mother, don't say these words, you are now in good health, you will be able to live a long life, and the child still wants to wait for the child to live to eighty, and he can still listen to his mother's teachings under his mother's knees." Chen Mo hurriedly interrupted, he didn't want to hear this.

"That's not an old monster." Mother Chen couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, although it was a comforting word, she was still comfortable listening to it: "You, how much benefit does this mouth bring you?" ”

"Not much~"
