Ma Zhong thought in his heart, and couldn't help but exchange a few words with Sun Shangxiang.

Although Sun Shangxiang is brave in martial arts, and he is very popular with the military, and even has some talent in governing and managing money, he is a little careless in the big strategy.

Ma Zhong told her about the importance of this Chaohu Lake, and why Sun Quan had to lay down Hefei and then go north, Sun Shangxiang just looked blank and cute.

Although Sun Quan has been trapped in Hefei all his life and cannot make an inch, his thinking is correct.

If you use the advantage of the navy to enter Chaohu Lake from the Yangtze River, and you can't take Hefei City, then such a Jiangdong army can only kill itself if it goes to Xuzhou to fight Cao Jun directly.

What's more, behind Xuzhou are Qing and Yanzhou, such a large plain, which is really a headache for the Jiangdong Army.

Only by using the waterway to conquer Xuzhou first, and then recruiting the northern warriors from Xuzhou to train the army, and then slowly advancing can the Central Plains compete for the deer.

"Second brother is so powerful?" Sun Shangxiang was a little unconvinced.

Ma Zhong also felt that Sun Quan, who could be played by Uncle Gongsun, might not have such a long view, "Eighty percent is Lu Zijing's plan." Zhou Yu wants Jingzhou and wants to take advantage of the Yangtze River. Lu Su wanted Xuzhou to make up for the shortcomings of the Jiangdong Army's land warfare, and both of them were eloquent and strategic. ”

Sun Shangxiang was not interested in these topics at all, so he said a few perfunctory words and went back to the cabin.

Many of the soldiers and horses of this annoyance are from Lady Sun City.

Although Ma Zhong was enveloped in many ways and could break up a lot of establishments, Sun Shangxiang's appearance in front of them alone was enough to cause bursts of cheers.

This Sun Shangxiang, who is a goddess in the hearts of the generals of the Jiangdong Army, makes those soldiers have no ability to resist at all.

Sun Shangxiang looked at Ma Zhong's expressionless face, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

In order to avoid suspicion, Sun Shangxiang rarely stepped out of his cabin except for occasionally appearing on the boat to take a look.

The day of the fleet was not smooth, and a gust of wind came out of nowhere.

The gust of wind was very strong, head-on, but the fleet was going down the river again, and the boat that Ma Zhong saw in front shook slightly.

Ma Zhong's whole eyes widened, and an unspeakable horror surged into his heart.

If that ship capsizes, I'm afraid the whole fleet will be doomed.

Thinking about the "broken water flow" Dong Raid who was suffocated in the water by the building boat, Ma Zhong trembled all over.

In the face of the power of heaven and earth, manpower is so small.

Fortunately, Ma Zhong's most panicked thing did not happen, and the ship shook slightly, and then the sail was lowered with a clatter.

Perhaps it was too hasty, and the big bamboo that stretched out the sail smashed into the boat and jumped, sweeping several people off the boat in the middle of the roll.

The sailors on the ship hurriedly ran to the side of the ship to watch, and the men had been swept to the bottom of the ship by the breaking waves of the ship, and after the boat passed, there was no trace.

Only then did Ma Zhong put down a big stone in his heart.

Then the boats hurriedly lowered their sails.

Seeing that the wind was strong, Ma Zhong hurriedly asked people to find a place where the water was deep enough to stop the ship and dock. Unexpectedly, the wind came suddenly, and after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

The flotilla moved forward again, and it was already only half sailing.

However, Ma Zhong had a false alarm, and those Wu Jun gentlemen and nobles were even more unbearable, and they were all scared to the point that their hands and feet were numb, and their souls were scattered.

When the boat was steadily sailing on the river again, it still did not slow down.

These squires didn't care about anything else, and they were clamoring to dock the ship one by one.

Bailichuan was unmoved, just listened to the flag of the ship in front of him.

Ma Zhong didn't dare to rush forward rashly, and watched the wind stop and go along the way. But after these days of observation, he also saw the doorway.

The other ships are fairly stable, and whenever the news wind comes, only the flagship is prone to danger.

Because the other ships are merchant ships and cargo ships, the pursuit is capacity, and the center of gravity of the whole ship is more stable.

In order to deal with the water thieves along the way, the flagship at the beginning was a building ship with a strong military color.

The building ship pays more attention to the suppression of the river surface and the combat area that can be deployed.

So the upper part of the whole building ship is extremely large.

The three-story wooden archer building alone was three or four feet high. The deck, where crossbows and soldiers can be placed, is also very large.

With the use of tall wooden buildings, it is easy to suppress other ships. The increased deck area can also increase the number of soldiers put in at one time, but for the warship, it is too easy to capsize.

This ship usually has some ballast, but I don't think that once the war starts, when it is necessary to charge with all its strength to put aside the burden, it will be top-heavy and easy to capsize.

At this time, Sun Quan obviously hadn't begun to pay attention to the science and technology in the navy, and his first "Pacific Fleet" in history had not yet been shadowed.

Ma Zhong's thoughts can only be pressed in his heart.

Ma Zhong thought that he was glad in his heart, but fortunately, Lao Tzu was not the flagship he chose. Just keep your distance so you don't crash headlong into it when it capsizes.

After walking for a few days in fear, a small boat was put down on the flagship, and the steward of the Zhuo family came to report, "My lord, the front is Hengjiangjin, I'm afraid there will be a naval army to inquire, I don't know which adult will accompany me to deal with it at the flagship." ”

Ma Zhong was puzzled when he heard this, "What? Is there still a navy in this Liyang Governor's Mansion? ”

The steward was none other than Ximen Daguan, who had sent Ma Zhong to Jiangnan on a big boat before.

After listening to this, he nodded repeatedly, "This Liyang Governor's Mansion is not as good as other places, originally the ports here were under the jurisdiction of the Fuling Governor, but later the Liyang Governor was annoyed, and he thought that the Fuling Governor's hand was too long, and he forcibly occupied this place." Sun Jiangdong didn't say much. ”

Ma Zhong was slightly surprised when he heard this, this Liyang Lieutenant is really very character and powerful, but this is very Jiangdong!

This kind of problem that can be solved with fists, Jiangdong military generals, like to do it themselves.

Can a military attache who can open a government with a small lieutenant be a simple commodity?

It's just that Captain Liyang doesn't want to think about how sensitive the place he is.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the throat of the Yangtze River, how can Sun Quan tolerate a thorn pierced there?

In the past, Sun Quan's control over Liyang was very weak because he was far away from the river, so he could only rely on the local clans.

Only then did he have to use the local Haoqiang to be the governor of Liyang, and he also had a great deal of one country, two systems, so that the governor of Liyang opened the mansion.

But how could Sun Quan directly let him control the port at the same time.

Lieutenant Liyang's shot was very happy, and Sun Jiangdong didn't say anything.

But this time the Northern Expedition to the imperial court, didn't it find a name of "the people under the rule are loyal to Cao thief, and there are many repetitions", and let Zhou Yin, the governor of the East Road, come over to sit in town?

When Zhou Yin's army gained a foothold in the Liyang Governor's Mansion, it would be difficult to say.
