Chapter 198: Sweeping the waters of the East China Sea

Now that Sun Jian is not dead, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are still married as in-laws, one is married to Da Qiao, the other is married to Xiao Qiao, Jiangdong Xiaoqiao, that is a beauty that has been passed down through the ages, Sun Quan has some expectations.

Hearing the news that the two of them were going to get married, Sun Quan thought of his Cai Cainu, and he was a little anxious to marry her, but he was still young, and he still had to wait for two or three years.

……

The date set by Zhou Yu to land in Liaodong was still a little too sudden for Sun Quan, after all, now their two main armies lost a lot of vitality because of the battle of encircling and suppressing Cao Cao and being surrounded and suppressed by Cao Cao.

Therefore, after some discussion and after thinking about it, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu still postponed the date of landing in Liaodong by half a month, and about the end of mid-October, they landed on the land of Liaodong.

From this time period to March next year, they will be able to capture Liaodong in about four or five months, but with less than half a year, it is basically impossible to completely defeat Gongsun Du and completely take Liaodong.

After all, Gongsun Du, the overlord of Liaodong, is also a prince, even if he does not have 100,000 male soldiers in his hands, he has at least 70,000 or 80,000 elite soldiers, and if he wants to completely take Liaodong, he must encroach step by step.

In about half a year, they can completely gain a foothold in Liaodong, even if they are already successful, of course, the Jiangdong Navy is huge, and naturally it will not only stare at the land of Liaodong, the Yamato Islands and the Mahan Peninsula of the Japanese Kingdom are their targets.

As far as he knows, on these islands and peninsulas, there are not only a large number of resources, but also a large number of people, which is the population resources, and the so-called Joseon and Yamato should have appeared.

Sun Quan is not an angry young man, but as long as he is a Chinese person who knows the humiliating history of Chinese history, if he has the opportunity, he really doesn't mind letting the two major races of Chinese people disappear from the root in the future.

His idea was very simple, he didn't think about going on a killing spree, as long as the Jiangdong army could take Mahan, Goguryeo, Buyeo and Waguo, and then he sent Han scholars to set up teaching, teach them Chinese, teach them Han culture, and completely assimilate them from the roots.

Completely integrate this place into the world of the Han people.

This is one of Sun Quan's goals in the East China Sea, of course, this is just what Sun Quan thinks in his heart, he didn't tell anyone, things have to come step by step.

After setting a date, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu began to discuss the location of the landing, the details, and the things to look out for.

In today's Jiangdong army, although the statement of the General Staff is not established, but before every battle, Sun Quan intentionally or unintentionally asked the generals to form a good discussion group, express their opinions, plan in advance, and it is always better to be prepared than not to be prepared.

"Where do we land from?" On the council hall, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Xue Zhou, Xu Sheng...... There were also all the generals of the navy gathered, and Zhou Yu spread out a map of Liaodong on the desk, which was a sheepskin map, a little yellow, I am afraid it has been a while.

In fact, Jiangdong doesn't know much about Youzhou and Liaodong, this map is still in the era of Emperor Ling, and the Youzhou Thorn History Department reported to the imperial court, and Jiangdong scraped the ground to find a sample.

"The territory of Liaodong is very large, including Liaodong County, Liaodong Dependent States, Xuansu County, and Lelang County, all of which are within the scope of Liaodong, that is, the territory of Gongsun Du today, most of them are by the sea, and there are many places to choose to land."

Zhou Yu stared at the map with his eyes and analyzed softly: "But we have too little time, if we want to fight quickly, we must have the most suitable landing site, although Gongsun Du is far away in the border of the Han Dynasty, but this person is not simple, in the first year of the first peace, the world was in turmoil, he took the opportunity to start occupying Liaodong County, calling himself Liaodong Hou, Pingzhou Mu, in just a few years, Liaodong vassal country, Xuanwu and Lelang were all taken by him, and this person is also tough on foreign races, the east expedition to Goguryeo, the west attack Karasuma, which is enough to show that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses under his command is good. ”

"Moreover, according to intelligence, last year, the people he once sent to seize several counties in the East China Sea of Qingzhou across the sea are now a firm foothold in Donglai, Qingzhou, and exchanged Liaodong war horses, wool, and other items for supplies in the Central Plains." Zhou Yu's intelligence was obtained from Jiangdong, and Jiangdong's intelligence came from Jinyiwei.

Sun Quan was only interested in Gongsun Du last year, and sent a lot of Jinyiwei to inquire, but time was pressing, and the information of Jinyiwei in Liaodong was also very shallow, and there was not much valuable thing.

"Fighting across the sea, is there still a navy in Liaodong?" Xu Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and said.

"If he can attack Qingzhou across the sea, there should be, but the scale is not large, otherwise he should enter the Central Plains from Qingzhou at this time, after all, no matter how good Liaodong is, it is also a desolate place, not as good as the Central Plains." Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said analytically.

"Then when we face Liaodong, the first battle is a naval battle?" When several naval captains in the council hall heard this, their eyes lit up, and their fighting spirit instantly became excited, and now the navy has been established for a while, but they have never encountered a naval battle.

Jiangdong spent countless money to build, and the warship that has been equipped to the teeth has been able to only serve as a cargo ship, which has to be said to be a great pity.

Now that there is an opportunity, these admirals are naturally ready to move.

"This is a must, we have to clean up this East China Sea, except for my Jiangdong navy, I don't want to see any of the princes' fleets, so the navy will set sail tomorrow, and now there are two large fleets of Tiger and Feiyun, it's time for you to play." Sun Quan's gaze instantly became sharp, in this era, if Jiangdong can't even take the most basic sea power, it will be a little too inferior.

Now, after the merger of the Jiangdong Navy's naval forces, the navy has been mainly composed of fleets, reorganized into large fleets and small fleets, and basically built a large fleet with one building ship, five fighting ships, and 50 ships, each of which has more than 10,000 or even 20,000 people.

Under the large fleet, there is the small fleet, which is dominated by fighting ships and ships, and the small fleets, with the building ships as the core, form a battle formation on the sea.

At present, there are three large shipbuilding workshops in Jiangdong, and there is a steady stream of warships, and the Jiangdong Navy now has a total of five building ships, forming five large fleets, one of which is in Yizhou, controlling the passage from Yizhou to Dongzhi, and one in Chaisang, resisting the Jiangxia naval army.

And one of the two large fleets formed by the Tiger and the Feiyun traveled between Yuzhou Mountain and Zhoushan, which was in the hands of Zhou Yu, and it was also the navy that Zhou Yu could use now.

There is also a newly established fleet, based on the latest five-story ship 'Gaihai', which has been established for less than a month in the hands of Zhou Tai, and should now be at sea bound for Yuzhou Mountain.

"Zhongmou, the sweep is to sweep, but let's wait another day."

Zhou Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly said: "Jiangdong has sent a letter, Zhou Tai's fleet will reach Yuzhou Mountain the day after tomorrow, although our navy is very strong, but there is a lack of fierce generals who can command, there is Zhou Tai, a fierce general who is good at water warfare, I feel safe, after all, the first naval battle, we don't know anything about the enemy, so be cautious." ”

"Okay!"

Zhou Tai, a super strong tiger general, was able to come, and Sun Quan naturally applauded.

"Gong Jin, if we want to capture Liaodong, it is not enough to rely on the tiger warriors and the overlord iron cavalry, we can't use the navy as a foot soldier to fight a landing battle." Sun Ce, who had been quiet, said suddenly.

"That's right!"

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan's eyes and faces became solemn at the same time, training the navy and training foot soldiers, that is not a matter of rank, there are many involved in naval operations, and the navy has always been a technical branch.

"Why don't we ask our father to let my father send 20,000 foot soldiers from Jiangdong, after all, if there are no foot soldiers, only a few thousand of our elite soldiers will not be able to stand on the footsteps of Liaodong, if Tai Shici is free, it will be better to invite this fierce general." Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"Tai Shi Ci, don't think about it."

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan's longing, and hurriedly shook his head, and said: "Do you think I haven't thought about getting out Tai Shi Ci, a peerless general, but now that Tai Shi Ci has obtained the blue wolf army formed by the high mountain people of Yizhou, he has begun to carry out a fierce attack on the Shanyue of Huiji, and it is possible to completely solve the Shanyue of Huiji, and the lord is very happy, so the lord has returned the 10,000 elite soldiers he dispatched." ”

"And I heard that Jiangdong is also short of troops now." Zhou Yu approached and sighed: "We may not be able to transfer troops." ”

"What, there is no battle in Jiangdong, how can the troops be tight?" Sun Quan and Sun Ce were both a little puzzled.

"Defense also requires troops, and we are not without battles in Jiangdong, and now the border between Jiangdong and Jiaozhou is also at war."

Zhou Yu analyzed: "Jiujiang was taken by Yuan Shu, so the defense of Lujiang and Danyang should increase troops, and the Jiangxia of Jingzhou to defend Jingzhou, as well as Jiujiang, we have already lost a lot of troops, just in August, Zhang Jin, Jiaozhou, who was originally fighting with Liu Biao, didn't know what crazy medicine he had eaten, and actually sent troops from Nanhai County to provoke General Pan who was stationed in Yuzhang and Luling. ”

"Zhang Jin, he's crazy!"

Sun Quan was taken aback, and everyone looked incredible, what kind of temper Pan Feng was, no one in Jiangdong knew it, that is, the lord Sun Jian and Sun Quan, the people who recruited him, could suppress him.

"Actually, Zhang Jin's original intention was to be afraid that General Pan's army would join him in the battle with Liu Biao, and the original intention was to hold General Pan, but in the end it was self-defeating, General Pan became angry, so he directly sent troops to attack Nanhai County, Jiaozhou!"

Zhou Yu sighed and said: "General Pan only took less than a month to take the South China Sea, and his dispatch of troops immediately made Jiaozhou and Jingzhou panic, and the two sides immediately ceased fighting and guarded Jiangdong." ”

"What about Nanhai County, what is the attitude of the lord?" One asked.

"You still need to ask about this, you can take it all down, and you can send it back, when have you ever seen something swallowed by a Jiangdong tiger still vomit out." Sun Quan sneered, his old man Sun Jian was not a vegetarian either.

"So, now that Jingzhou Liu Biao is guarding against us, Jiaozhou Zhang Jin is about to move, and the troops have been transferred to the Cangwu border, and he wants to take Nanhai County back, and now Jiangdong's troops are focused on Yuzhang and Luling." Zhou Yu said.

"In layman's terms, they just can't take care of us."

Sun Quan sighed and said.

"Then where did we get the soldiers we wanted?" The atmosphere in the council hall was a little silent, Sun Ce sighed, and asked, "There are no soldiers, is it really necessary to use the navy to capture Liaodong?" ”

"No, it's a bit of a waste to use the navy as an ordinary foot soldier, but now Jiangdong has a force, and we can move." Zhou Yu said suddenly.

"That one?" When the generals heard this, their eyes immediately looked at Zhou Yu.

"Liu Miao was defeated by Yuan Shu, led the remnants of the army to cross the river, stationed in Danyang, the lord agreed to take in Liu Xuan, and now Liu Miao still has more than 20,000 remnants of soldiers in his hands, and several generals under his command are people who can fight well, but they can be used." Zhou Yu's eyes sparkled.

"Liu Xuan! He used to be the enemy of Jiangdong, but now that he has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, will he be willing to hand them over? ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Sun Ce's mouth.

"I can't help him, he doesn't even have a place to stand now, let alone want to feed tens of thousands of troops, he just wants to take refuge in Jiangdong, either enter the General's Mansion, or be a scholar of knowledge, no matter what, he must hand over these 20,000 troops, otherwise he still wants to gain a foothold in Jiangdong?" Zhou Yu sneered.

"That's right, but the means can be a little softer, Brother Gongjin, you want a way to break the point, and then write a letter to my father, it is estimated that he is also having a headache about how to deal with this remnant army now."

"Hmm!"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"The soldiers are there, but where do we land?" Sun Quan squinted.

"Here!"

Zhou Yu thought for a long time before pointing to the sheepskin map, a raised place: "I thought about it for a long time, this is the best place to land, you can advance or retreat, or you can go straight into the hinterland of Liaodong." ”

"Yushi County!" Everyone's eyes moved slightly, staring at the place pointed out by Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce called out in a low voice.

"Zhou Yu's eyes are really poisonous, this is already a generation of Dalian and Lushun Port in later generations, it is definitely a good place." Sun Quan's eyes moved slightly, and he said secretly in his heart.

"Okay, let's land from here."

Sun Quan's eyes moved coldly, slapped his palm on the map of Yushi County, and said: "From here, we want to take Liaodong, and then Liaoxi, and even the entire Youzhou." ”

"Hahaha, Zhongmou has great ambitions, but I like it, Youzhou will be ours sooner or later." Sun Ce's eyes flashed with a chilling aura, and he said with a big laugh.

……

After the meeting, followed by continuous preparations, in less than two days, Zhou Tai led the fleet to Yuzhou Mountain, and then Zhou Yu was the commander, Zhou Tai, Xue Zhou, two people assisted, and the three led the three fleets of the Jiangdong Navy, and began to sweep all the battlefields in the East China Sea one by one, whether it was Ma Han, Wa Guo, Liaodong, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou.

Their goal is very certain, anyway, in this sea area, except for the Jiangdong fleet, there can be no warships that can go to sea, not a single one, this is Jiangdong's sea dominance over the East China Sea.
