Chapter 320: Responding to Change with Change
"My Jiangdong Navy has set up camp in the rivers between Nanjun and Jiangxia County, but the lord is driven, and we are all obedient!" Seeing that Liu Feng was almost about to give up this operation, Gan Ning, who was unwilling, came out again and said again, obviously, such an opportunity, even if it was lucky, even if it might lose some sergeants because of the wind and waves, it was worth it in the eyes of people like Gan Ning and Ling Tong who were trying their best to fight, because such an opportunity to give Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan a double blow was really rare.
Liu Feng naturally knew that once Huang Gai, Gan Ning and others were sent to Jiangxia to lead the naval army, if they could find out that Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan were fighting, they only needed to follow him far behind, and then face the blow when they were victorious, most of them could repel Zhuge Liang's naval army, and all the results that Zhuge Liang originally envisioned in his heart would be all owned by Liu Feng.
But he also knew that in such weather, the probability of successfully seizing such an opportunity was less than 30%, and once it failed, the loss of the navy in the storm would reach about 20%, that is, there was a full 70% probability, and the navy he had worked hard to manage these days would lose about 20% for no reason without even seeing the enemy's hair, not to mention the sturdy warships made of wood transported from distant Jiaozhou.
"You don't need to say much, this matter is beyond our expectations, so we must not act rashly, now that my Jingzhou and Yizhou have occupied the land and people, you must understand that our army is not an outlaw like Zhuge Liang, nor is it a conformist like Sun Quan, so only when the time is ripe, can we show our fangs, like this kind of thing, can not be forced, but we don't know that the law that we should keep in mind now is the most important thing to keep in mind."
At this time, Liu Feng has completely put this matter down, and he also compares them with these forces in his mind, although Cao Cao is powerful, he is already old, and the storage position is unresolved, at least in three or five years, there will be no large-scale battles with the outside world, as long as Liu Feng does not plot against Cao Cao's rich land in the Central Plains during this time, Cao Jun will never mainly provoke Liu Feng.
Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan both found themselves weak at this time, and the two of them formed an alliance several times because of their own intentions and ended in failure, so the alliance has no meaning for Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan, and Zhuge Liang's attempt to Cao Cao Nanyang and Runan two counties ended in failure, and the attempt to be able to open the door of Liu Feng Yizhou lost Zhao Yun.
Therefore, these two roads were all blocked for Zhuge Liang, and the only way he could accumulate more strength for himself at this time was to defeat Sun Quan or even annex him. Only in this way will he have the weight to compete with Liu Feng and Cao Cao's group in the years to come. Otherwise, he could only serve as a barrier for Liu Feng and Cao Cao to attack Sun Quan in the south, and be eliminated before Sun Quan was destroyed.
It is precisely because of this that there is Liu Feng's remark that he should not change everything, although Sun Quan is much worse than a few years ago, but he still has a foundation, Zhuge Liang's dangerous fight, how much of a role it can play, it is still difficult to predict, this today's battle is only Zhuge Liang's first shot, if he wants to completely incorporate Jiangdong into his territory, he will also face the test of Jiangdong's elite naval army and dozens of experienced generals.
Therefore, although Liu Feng missed this opportunity for the fisherman to profit, he also took this opportunity to see Zhuge Liang's strategic purpose. Liu Feng believed that the reason why he could not easily attack Zhuge Liang or Sun Quan now was due to the lack of troops caused by his previous rapid expansion.
Now the sergeants under Liu Feng's command are more than enough to firmly hold Yizhou and Jingzhou, Liangzhou and other places, but if you want to wave hundreds of thousands of troops in one fell swoop like Cao Cao did before when he went south, it is impossible, so as long as Liu Feng is given a few years, let Liu Feng transform the rich land of Yizhou and Jingzhou into elite soldiers under his command, and at that time, where the soldiers are pointing, the golden stone is open!
Just outside this window, it was stormy, and it was difficult to see people within a zhang above the river, Liu Feng seemed to be put on a stand by Zhuge Liang, and when he waited here for a few days in vain, Liu Feng finally had a clear understanding of what he should do in the next few years, in Liu Feng's heart, it seemed that his pattern had become very different from before overnight, and this small battle failed to participate, but it brought Liu Feng such a feeling, which Liu Feng had not thought of before.
Pang Tong, who was beside Liu Feng, saw Liu Feng's confident look, and couldn't help but nod secretly, in fact, when Liu Feng said that he should respond to all changes with the same, Pang Tong already felt that Liu Feng had a lot more confidence in his heart than before.
He knew that Liu Feng finally realized that he was no longer the youngest prince of the Central Plains who had just been forced to become independent from the shadow of Liu Bei's death, after the development of these few years, Liu Feng had relied on his perseverance and wisdom to surpass Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang, who were once stronger than himself, since they were strong, it was natural that there should be the pursuit of the powerful, Pang Tong knew that what Liu Feng said was unchanged, not to maintain the status quo, but to develop according to his own situation, he believed, it would not take much time, Liu Feng's posture will appear in the battle with more significant impact.
So, on this stormy afternoon, Liu Feng on the sound of rain, to these generals in Jingzhou to set the task for the next year, everyone listened to Liu Feng's words, originally because this time failed to form a yellow finch in the back of the face and very regretful, finally showed infinite fighting spirit, under the pressure of Liu Feng to them this year, the participation in the first war is too small......
However, this battle in Liu Feng's eyes is so small that he doesn't want to lose his troops to try his luck, but for Zhuge Liang, it is a key battle related to whether he can survive in the cracks in the future.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was on the same as Guan Yu on the largest warship, and there were many small boats closely following around, the two looked out of the cabin in the cabin, and a lot of rain was blown into the cabin by the wind, and the clothes of the two were already very wet, but they had no time to take care of it.
Almost every once in a stick of incense, a soaking sergeant would come to report the current number of casualties among the navy and the warship, although they had already predicted it, but when the shipwreck and the sergeant died, there was still a trace of gloom in the hearts of the two.
