"Gongjin, listen to what you mean, it seems that you already have an ideal place in your heart......?" Since Zhou Yu's tone can be so firm, it is not difficult to see that in Zhou Yu's heart, he has already planned the future for Sun Jian and their father and son, so Sun Jian asked eagerly.

"Exactly!

However, if the lord wants to achieve this foundation, he must have a certain strength as a foundation to be feasible! Zhou Yu nodded slightly.

"I don't know where the princess wants to be, and what is best for us?"

"Look, my lord, this is exactly this place!" Zhou Yu slowly took out a sheepskin map from his brocade robe and circled it with his fingers.

"Koto?! Not Jingzhou? Sun Jian looked at the area that Zhou Yu was pointing to and wondered.

Originally, Sun Jian thought that what Zhou Yu said had a certain strength was based on the ability to compete with Liu Biao who was entrenched in Jingzhou, and then recapture Jingzhou from Liu Biao, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu liked Jiangdong instead of Jingzhou.

"Lord, you see, Jiangdong not only has fertile land and stable people's hearts, which undoubtedly provides an excellent development environment for the lord, but more importantly, Jiangdong has a natural moat as a barrier.

On the other hand, let's talk about Liu Biao.

Liu Biao is definitely extraordinary. The fact that it was able to pacify the local forces in Jingxiang in such a short period of time is enough to explain everything!

Moreover, Liu Biao has the delegation instructions of the imperial court, and it is an indisputable fact that Liu Biao sits firmly in Jingzhou.

Now Liu Biao has more than 100,000 land and water troops in Jingzhou, even if the lord already has a certain strength base, it is not enough to compete with Liu Biao at this moment! Zhou Yu knows very well that Sun Jian has always been angry about Liu Biao taking away the development land that originally belonged to him, and analyzes the current situation at the moment.

"Gong Jin, could it be that Jingzhou was given to Liu Biao for nothing?" Sun Jian knew the truth of what Zhou Yu said, but when he thought of Liu Biao's humiliation to their father and son, Sun Jian couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

"Lord, now it's just a matter of letting Liu Biaoxian take care of Jingzhou's affairs, as long as the lord has a firm foothold in Jiangdong, as long as the strength continues to grow and develop, Jingzhou will return to the lord's hands sooner or later." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Since ancient times, the geographical location of Jingzhou has been very important, and it is a battleground for soldiers!

Therefore, Zhou Yu had no intention of giving up Jingzhou.

Moreover, there is a more important reason that although Jiangdong has the Yangtze River moat as a barrier, it does not have the slightest defense capability for Jingzhou, which is in the upper reaches, and due to the terrain difference, once Jingzhou attacks Jiangdong from the upstream, Jiangdong is in danger.

So if you want to completely ensure the safety of Jiangdong, you must take Jingzhou!

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Sun Jian asked eagerly when he saw that Zhou Yu was so confident.

Although Liu Biao is extraordinary, his weak character determines that he is more than stubborn and not enough.

And an even more fatal reason is that he Liu Biao is very old, and his relatively comfortable life in Jingzhou will continue to wear away his already weak spirit, and slowly Liu Biao will become timid and unwilling to forge ahead.

In this way, as long as the lord is strong enough, taking Jingzhou is not a momentum!

Therefore, the key now for the lord is to have a stable life as soon as possible and is still suitable for the rapid development and expansion of the lord's sphere of influence, which is the problem that the lord urgently needs to solve! Zhou Yu continued to analyze the pros and cons.

"Gongjin, I understand, let's return to Yangzhou immediately and recruit soldiers to train the army!" Saying that, Sun Jian, who saw that the future was full of new hope again, was a little impatient.

"Lord, this is the best way!" Zhou Yu stopped.

"Gongjin, if you don't recruit soldiers and train them, how can you form combat effectiveness?" Regarding Zhou Yu's stopping, Sun Jian asked even more suspiciously.

"My lord, although we now have the basis for recruiting and forming troops, recruiting soldiers and training soldiers are not a matter of one thing.

It will take at least a few months or more for a unit to develop a certain combat effectiveness.

If the lord wastes such precious time, it is equivalent to letting the opportunity slip away quickly in front of him, not to mention that in the face of the changing situation in the world now, the lord has no time to squander it like this, and now for the lord, every minute and every second is extremely precious!

And the important thing is that the most fatal thing for the lord is that the lord is still in a state of being under the fence.

With Yuan Shu's jealous character, how can he let the lord recruit a large number of soldiers and train soldiers in an open and honest manner, not to mention that now that Yuan Shu was ambushed by Dong Zhuo's army and fled back to Yangzhou in embarrassment, how could Yuan Shu watch the lord grow stronger?

In addition, there are still years of war, a large number of men have been forcibly recruited, and the source of soldiers is extremely scarce, even if the lord is willing to recruit, I am afraid the effect will not be too good. Zhou Yu analyzed.

"But if we don't, how can we have our own strength?" Hearing this, Sun Jian was silent for a while.

Indeed, what Zhou Yu said was right. But if this is not the case, even if you have 2,000 high-quality war horses, even if you have all the material support you need to recruit soldiers, if you don't take action, all this will be all for naught.

"My lord, you might as well borrow soldiers for your own use." Zhou Yu said his plan.

"Borrowed soldiers?"

"Yes, it's a borrowed soldier. In this way, not only does it save the lord a lot of material and financial resources to recruit and train soldiers, but also as long as a little training is done, a team with combat effectiveness can be initially formed, and it also wins extremely valuable time for the lord. ”

"Although this plan is good, how easy is it to borrow troops? Who will lend us soldiers for nothing? "It's a great idea, but it's not feasible at all.

As Zhou Yu said before, due to the continuous wars for many years, the princes of all walks of life in order to continuously expand their own strength and power, and continue to forcibly recruit soldiers, coupled with the misery of the people, the people are not able to make a living, and the epidemic is rampant, making the source of soldiers extremely scarce.

"Lord, have you forgotten this trip to Luoyang, what the lord got by accident?"
