Chapter 528: A Chance to Capture Jiangdong

Indeed, when Sun Quan was in Jiangdong, only the water army was vigorously developed, when Zhuge Liang captured Jiangdong, it was the water army that initially relied on breaking the barriers, and Cao Cao's 830,000 army returned with a feather, and it was also defeated in the ring without a water army, so the discerning people have already seen that the premise of capturing Jiangdong is to have a strong water army, and this is exactly what Liu Feng began to take precautions for a few years ago.

Since Gan Ning formed the Jingzhou Navy in Nanhai County, Jiaozhou, built warships with the wood of Jiaozhou, and reached an agreement with Zhou Yu to pull Lu Su from Jiangdong Shengsheng, Huang Gai and Ling Tong several people, all of which are a huge improvement of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and today, Jingzhou has 80,000 or 90,000 elite sailors, hundreds of warships, and all of them are medium and large warships.

The only thing that made Liu Feng feel a little regretful was that before he became emperor, Huang Gai, the commander of the original Jingzhou Navy, had to withdraw from the barracks where the navy was trained because he was too old, and settled in Xiangyang City to spend his old age.

In recent years, the water bandits in Jingzhou have been wiped out by the two of them, for Gan Ning and Ling Tong, it is their long-cherished wish to lead the water army trained by them for several years to conquer Jiangdong for Liu Feng, after all, Jiangdong has inseparable emotions for the two of them, or for Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, and even Liu Feng himself.

But after Liu Feng said this, Zhou Yu's face became grim, and he immediately said: "If Your Majesty wants to use my Jingzhou Navy to attack Jiangdong, I am afraid that the situation will not be as Your Majesty wishes, although the Jingzhou Navy is strong, but because of our army's strategy over the years, it has not experienced any life and death battles, and those battles to exterminate mountain bandits and water bandits cannot really exercise their ability, and now many of the sailors under the command of Jiangdong Zhuge Liang have experienced the battle of seizing Jiangdong from Jiangxia, and they are the elite who have really experienced the war. Although it is found that there are only more than 50,000 elite sailors under Zhuge Liang's command, it is still difficult for our army to complete the battle and take Jiangdong over. If you can't complete the battle, the naval army will suffer serious losses, and it will be even more difficult to capture Jiangdong in the future. ”

Undoubtedly, Zhou Yu has a very deep understanding of the tactics and combat strength of the naval army and the situation in Jiangdong, and the questions he raised are also very sharp, which can be said to directly refute what Liu Feng just said, but at the end of the day, he didn't want Liu Feng to make such a hasty decision.

Listening to Zhou Yu's rebuttal, Liu Feng was not angry, nor did he argue with Zhou Yu, he glanced at the other generals in front of him, and saw that most of the expressions on everyone's faces were in support of what Zhou Yu said just now, so he spoke again: "In this case, what strategy can Gong Jin have to capture the land of Jiangdong more securely?" ”

Liu Feng asked this question, undoubtedly to show that he was determined to capture Jiangdong during this time, he had been the emperor in Xiangyang for a period of time, and during this time, although the people of Jingzhou and Yizhou and other places praised Liu Feng's policy of being soft at home and strong abroad, Liu Feng's territory did not expand at all, but was attacked by Wei again.

This can only show that in the eyes of Wei, Liu Feng, the emperor, is not as good as their Wei king, so Liu Feng also felt that he had proved to his people that he could not only defend against the attacks of the so-called powerful Wei army, but also expand his territory.

Zhou Yu knew that he was indeed duty-bound about Jiangdong, so he did not shirk it to Pang Tong and the others, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "If you want to capture Jiangdong with the smallest loss, you must transport the superior infantry of our army to Jiangdong by warship, and then raid, but the junction of Jingzhou and Jiangdong was held by Guan Yu to the death, and it is not easy to transport a large force of infantry to Jiangdong. If you want to capture Jiangdong, you have to transfer troops from Yizhou......"

Zhou Yu stopped his words when he said this, and the implication of his words was already very obvious, that is, if Liu Feng wanted to forcibly attack Jiangdong, it would be very difficult, and it would take a lot of time to mobilize the soldiers and horses from Yizhou to Jingzhou, and it would be difficult to quietly transport these soldiers to Jiangdong after luring Guan Yu away.

Indeed, Jiangdong seems to have a huge difference in strength from Liu Feng, but if he really wants to use the advantage of military strength to forcibly eat the entire Jiangdong, Liu Feng is really very laborious, even if he can do this, it will have a very big impact on Liu Feng's vitality.

Seeing Zhou Yu's tightly knit brows, Liu Feng couldn't help but wonder, indeed, he wanted to quickly capture Jiangdong, but what Zhou Yu said, how could he not know that this time he asked so much, just to see if Zhou Yu and others could give him a surprise, and make his eyes light up when he thought there was no good plan, but obviously, judging from the expressions of Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, and Deng Ai, they would not have any eye-catching strategies, so far, Liu Feng was finally convinced that he wanted to capture this Jiangdong land, I'm afraid that it will really be the same as he thought before, and the sword will go sideways.

"Then I wonder if my Jingzhou Navy can attract Guan Yu for a day and let me go to Chaisang?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"Why did Your Majesty go to Chaisang, now Your Majesty is already a golden body, and his identity is not what it used to be, so he must not easily take risks in person!"

As soon as Liu Feng said this, it could be regarded as piercing the sky, and before he could say anything more, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong and Wei Yan and others began to ask as soon as they said a word, Liu Feng wanted to go to Chaisang in person, although Chaisang was just in Yuzhang County, which was separated from Changsha by a river, but once Zhuge Liang found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In desperation, Liu Feng took out several letters that had already been prepared from his pocket, stretched out his hand and handed them to Zhou Yu, he knew that his explanation would not make these courtiers who were very concerned about their safety problems waver in any way, but could only let them understand their good intentions through actual objects.

When Zhou Yu saw these letters, he hurriedly opened one of them and handed the other letters to Pang Tong beside him, and in this way, everyone present began to read the letters that Liu Feng gave them.

As Liu Feng thought, the more they looked, the more solemn their faces became, obviously, the content of this letter greatly exceeded their cognition, and it was something they had never expected.
