Chapter 420: The Sentinel Battle (I)

"That's it!" Seeing that a group of Wenchen under his command were spineless, all vying to express their willingness to ask for peace, Sun Jian was really angry.

He Cao '' can be called the king, and my Sun Jian can naturally be called the king! He and Cao 'Cao' are both heroes of the world, how can I bow down to Cao 'Cao'?

"Zibu, in your opinion, the current situation, should we fight or surrender?" Sun Jian glanced at Zhang Zhao and asked.

Sun Jian inquired about Zhang Zhao, not to ask for his opinion, but to let Zhang Zhao stand on his side and announce the intention of war to everyone. Zhang Zhao's status is extraordinary, and he is also the head of Jiangdong's civil ministers, as long as he 'reveals' a little bit of fighting spirit, he can suppress all those voices seeking peace.

Regarding Sun Jian's meaning, Zhang Zhao naturally knew it. If it was for his own considerations, Zhang Zhao would also be like those literati, hoping to make peace with Cao Cao, but Zhang Zhao has assisted Sun Jian for many years, and he has a clear understanding of Sun Jian's spleen and sexuality, and he knows that Sun Jian will never be willing to wag his tail and beg for mercy from Cao Cao. Fang Caiyu's words and Cheng Bing's words had already made Sun Jian quite annoyed, if he didn't know each other again, it was very likely that the ministers in the hall who wanted to make peace would have to bear the thunderous wrath of King Wu.

If Sun Jian is angry, he may not be punished too heavily, but Yu Fu, Cheng Bing and other people who have the intention of peace talks may not have such good luck. He is a Jiangdong minister, he has followed Sun Jian for more than ten years, and he has no shortage of hard work, even if he angers King Wu, he will not punish himself too much. But Yu Tuo, Cheng Bing and even others don't have their own status, and King Wu is angry, and in a fit of anger, he picks out a few unlucky eggs to kill the 'chicken' and set an example for the monkey, which is not impossible.

Therefore, in order not to let the situation get out of control, in order to prevent others from dying on the spot, Zhang Zhao could only follow Sun Jian's wishes.

"What the king said is extremely true, the only way to fight with Cao 'Cao' and repel it is to keep Jiangdong safe." Zhang Zhao did not state the reason why he supported the war, anyway, Sun Jian just wanted a voice that agreed with him, not to mention that with Zhang Zhao's qualifications, even if he didn't say anything, just stating his position was enough, and no one dared to question anything.

Sure enough, seeing that Zhang Zhao did not oppose the war, Yu Fu and Cheng Bing, who had previously spoken of seeking peace, closed their mouths, and some of the other Wenchen who also meant peace also stopped talking.

"Since you all have no objection to going to war, then prepare to go to war, and I hope you will work together to drive Cao 'Cao' back to the north!" Sun Jian was very satisfied with the impact of Zhang Zhao's statement, and said in high spirits.

In order to give Cao's army a dismount, Sun resolutely sent a force of men and horses to give Cao's 50,000 vanguard a great defeat before the large army of Cao's army arrived at Sanjiangkou.

Sun Jian took Tai Shici as his general, Chen Wu and Ling Tong as his lieutenants, and led 30,000 troops to deal with the vanguard of Cao's army.

Although the 30,000 horses were less than the 50,000 of the vanguard of the Cao army, Sun Jian was confident that the Cao army was inferior to his own army in the battle on the river, and 30,000 men were enough to defeat the 50,000 vanguard of the other party.

———————————————————————————————— on the Yangtze River, the boats of Dongwu advanced side by side, and gradually "forced" to Cao Jun Water Village.

"The Jiangdong Navy really lives up to its name, and there are quite rules between the marches." In the Cao Army's water village, Lu Xun looked coldly at the Jiangdong boat team from far and near, and contemplated the strategy of defeating the enemy.

Sun Jian has a grudge against Lu Xun, this time to attack Wu, of course Lu Xun is to volunteer, and he is bound to defeat and even kill Sun Jian to avenge the deep hatred of the year.

"There is a proverb in Jiangdong: there is Zhou Lang in the water battle on the river. The water army created by Zhou Yu is naturally not to be underestimated. A middle-aged man beside Lu Xun spoke.

"What, General Cai is scared?" Lu Xun joked.

The person who talked to Lu Xun was Cai Mao, a general of Jingzhou and appointed by Cao 'Cao' as the governor of the navy.

"Although Zhou Yu's water battle is 'fine', I am not inferior to him. It's just that he has been training the Jiangdong Navy for ten years, and the time I have been training the Cao Army is still short, so our Navy is not as strong as Jiangdong in terms of combat strength. Cai Mao said slowly, "In fact, in my opinion, now is not the best time to start a war with Jiangdong, let me 'concentrate' and 'practice' the navy for three years, and then our army will no longer be afraid of the Jiangdong army." ”

"Sun Jian rebelled and claimed to be the king without authorization, how could the king of Wei wait until three years later without crusading against him? Now, even if the combat strength of our naval army is not as strong as Jiangdong, it can only fight with the other side. Our army is far superior in numbers, and even if there are all the gaps in combat power, it is enough to make up for it with numbers. Lu Xun said lightly, "What's more, even if you give another three years, although the general will train our navy properly, Jiangdong will also accumulate strength." Under Zhou Yu's training, the strength of the Jiangdong Navy may be further improved. ”

Cai Mao nodded when he heard this, he could understand what Lu Xun said, and what he said just now was just a casual mention by him.

"So, how does the general plan to deal with the invading enemy in front of him?" Lu Xun asked, "Hehe, presumably Mr. Bo Yan already has a good plan in his chest, so why bother asking many times?" Cai Mao smiled and said.
