, the mouth of the Yangtze River, Sun Miao's losses are very large, the reason is also because of the narrowness of the Yangtze River, the entire water division is crowded in the narrow Yangtze River waterway, and is attacked by Cao Wei's army on both sides, and the stone bullets fired by the overwhelming catapults will directly smash one warship after another, and the most fatal thing is that the catapults on both sides of Cao Wei's banks have also begun to be equipped with deadly fire oil bombs, and a fire oil bomb will burn down, and the wooden warship will burn into a torch in a blink of an eye. So what is in front of Sun Miao now is that if he wants to attack Sun Quan in Jianye, he can only attack the towns along the river step by step. But attacking the towns along the river should be equipped with enough land forces, otherwise it will be an impossible task.

"Send a message to the Cabinet, I need the Marine Corps, a minimum of 50,000 people, otherwise I can't do what I'm supposed to do."

Since Sun Miao was appointed by Lu Peng as the governor of the navy, he has been conscientious and has never complained over the years, but this time, he has to complain about the favoritism of the lord, and he wants to attack Sun Quan himself without adding troops to himself, which is indeed too embarrassing.

Drop the helmet, the white-haired old general is now a little discouraged, he took 2000 warships, pounced on the waters of the Yangtze River, the result is here, not only did not advance an inch, but also suffered heavy losses, according to the original cabinet to inform himself of the news, Cao Wei should have applauded his attack on Sun Quan, as a result, Cao Wei actually carried out a resolute resistance to himself, along the banks of the river erected dense catapults, as long as his fleet approached, huge stones smashed over like locusts, so that he suffered heavy losses, And Cao Wei spent a lot of money, on this big river, set up three iron locks across the river, blocking the advance of his warships, under such a defensive blow, in just 5 days, he let himself lose a hundred warships, however, under such a huge loss, he couldn't go further, how could this not make the old general Sun Miao, who was burdened with heavy responsibilities, anxious?

Seeing some angry old generals, Fa Zheng looked calm.

"The old general doesn't have to be so eager, this war is actually a war to destroy the country, of course the war to destroy the country will not be smooth sailing, be patient."

Sun Miao said bitterly, "It is precisely because this battle is related to the overall situation, so I am anxious, it can be said that it is that we are destroying Dongwu this time, and it has nothing to do with him Cao Wei, but I didn't expect it, but Cao Pi Xiao'er blocked me the most resolutely, this is really a ghost." ”

Fa Zheng smiled indifferently: "As the so-called cold lips and teeth, if we destroy Dongwu and gain a foothold in Jiangnan, then the next target is definitely Cao Pi, and according to Jinyiwei's report, Cao Wu has formed an alliance again to jointly deal with foreign enemies, which is also a wise move by Cao Pi'er." ”

Sun Miao sat on the chair in frustration: "The things in this world are really unclear, just this year ago, the Cao and Wu families were still fighting to death, but when they opened their eyes, the two of them were as good as their children's families, how did you say this." ”

Fa Zheng smiled and said: "The lord's wise saying is indeed reasonable, in this world, between forces, there is no real friendship, and there is no real hatred, interests determine everything, divide and combine grievances and grievances, everything is driven by interests." To put it mildly, the lord of our family has brought this wise saying into full play, if you talk about character, at this point, it is indeed criticized. ”

Sun Miao smiled, what he said was too right, but fortunately, his lord's actions, from the whole starting point, are not for his own selfishness, his goal is to reunify the world, and to regain peace for the people in the world.

Let go of what you have and not, or talk about the war in front of you: "The lord is fighting from west to east, we are fighting from east to west, I am the closest to Jianye, I could have taken Dongwu for the lord first, but I was blocked here, sir, you can think of a way to break this deadlock." ”

What you said, Fa Zheng also frowned: "The Yangtze River channel is narrow, the catapults around Cao Wei are overwhelming, we are a naval army, what can I do?" ”

The actual Fa is very smart, but when another person encounters such a situation, it can only be in vain and unable to do anything.

"I really can't do it, I ask the lord again to ask him to send a team of troops."

Fa Zheng shook his head: "Your idea is unrealistic, send the army, you can only start from Xuzhou, they have to face Sima Yi's old treacherous and cunning guy, Sima Yi is not a good person, in our group, except for the military Pang Tong, there is no one who can match him, and the military division follows the side of the lord, the position there is much more important than ours here, and it is easy to move." ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, there has to be a way to solve it."

Fa Zheng walked around the cabin with his back hand, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to do it, you will make a big one, since Cao Wei doesn't open his face, he has to jump out and fight against us, we will simply turn the spearhead and attack Cao Wei directly, anyway, these two guys will be destroyed sooner or later, and it will be the same wherever they are destroyed first, we will simply report to the cabinet and the lord, first fight Cao Wei, and then destroy Eastern Wu." ”

"The method is a good way, but in this way, we will set up two enemies, and there is another point, with our sailors, we can't bear the burden of destroying Cao Wei no matter what, and we still need army brothers."

Fa Zheng said: "If the above decides to destroy Cao Wei first, this matter will be easy to handle, and when the time comes, our task will be changed, and we can give full play to the expertise of our navy." ”

"What's the way to change it?"

"As long as the above agrees, attack Cao Wei first, and send the army to press down from the north to the south, we are no longer attacking to the west, but shouldering the heavy responsibility of isolating Cao Wei from the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, so that we can avoid one side, give Sima Yi a north-south attack, and first kill Cao Wei's bridgehead in Jiangbei, which will untie our current dead knot."

Sun Miao thought for a while, and couldn't help but high-five: "Whether it succeeds or not, first kill the bridgehead in Jiangbei and bring the entire Xuzhou into our scope, this is also a good move, a good harvest, then, we will decide this matter, and now ask Mr. to write an official document and report our suggestions to the lord and the cabinet." ”

So the two of them did what they said, jointly signed their names, wrote their ideas into official documents, sent a small boat to fly directly to Youzhou, reported to the cabinet, and then waited for the cabinet's approval.
