Xiakou Ferry.

There was a group of 50 steamers marching briskly on the Yangtze River, and various military formations were changing along the way.

This is Gan Ning's routine training, which takes place every day. Merchant ships passing through or spies from Jiangdong can see it.

You can't hide the new ship for the sake of secrecy, and if you don't train, how can you use it in case of war?

Despite this, Gan Ning thought of a good solution. Originally, the foot power used was fifty, but Gan Ning only used half of the foot force, that is, twenty-five people.

The speed of this ship decreased, and it looked about the same as the speed of a normal warship.

The advantage of this is that Jiangdong's spies have heard the news of the new ship and reported it to Sun Quan. Sun Quan wouldn't care.

The speed is equal to that of an average warship, and the combat effectiveness is about the same. What's there to care about?

Therefore, these words, Gan Ning are all practicing new warships in broad daylight.

"Change formation." On one of the warships, Gan Ning ordered. At this time, Gan Ning was wearing a golden armor and a Chu knife at his waist. The look was stern.

Don't underestimate water warfare, water warfare also needs formations. It's just that the formation change of water war is more troublesome, so in general, when there is a formal war, it is rare to change the formation.

Only when training, will the formation be constantly changing.

At this moment, the sound of a rhinoceros horn came from the direction of Xiakou Ferry.

Gan Ning's face changed, and he immediately ordered: "Collect the team and go back to Xiakou." ”

Although the order was inconsistent, the navy immediately reacted, changed its formation, and returned towards Xiakou.

As the commander-in-chief, Gan Ning's warship was the first to enter the water village and the first to dock.

On the shore, there was already a Dubo Hou Li, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

"What's going on?" Disembarking from the warship, Gan Ning asked.

"The lord sent someone to deliver the papers." Duber handed the bamboo slip to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning's expression immediately became extremely serious when he heard this, these years, Liu Feng has rarely given him official documents, I am afraid that something big has happened.

After opening the bamboo slip, the content on it was very similar to what Gan Ning thought.

"Ready, ready to go."

A few simple words show the current situation very straightforwardly. There could be wars, and it could be huge.

Koto.

Gan Ning also understands that when it is his turn to play, the target must be Jiangdong.

"Ordered to recharge and stock up on food on warships." After reading it, Gan Ning put away the bamboo slips and ordered.

"No." Na Du Bo answered, and quickly gave Gan Ning's order.

After giving the order, Gan Ning turned to face Jiangdong, faintly excited.

War, just to test the power of the steamer. In the end, can it compete with the Jiangdong naval army.

……………

Wu County, in the Wu Hou Mansion.

"Hahahaha." Suddenly, there was a hearty laugh.

At the gate, Lu Su had just arrived. I heard loud laughter from the house, and I didn't need to listen to the sound to know that it was Sun Quan. Sun Quan was the one who dared to laugh in the Marquis of Wu's mansion.

Lu Su frowned, guessing in his heart what kind of happy event he had encountered, and Wu Hou would be so out of shape.

Lu Su's current official is not big, and he is almost a minister. Bandless Advisors. Often walk around Sun Quan's side.

Today, at home, a small official suddenly came to report, saying that Wu Hou was invited, so he hurriedly took a carriage out of the mansion and went straight to Wu Hou's mansion.

Guessing in his heart, Lu Su got out of the carriage and walked into Wuhou's mansion.

Because Lu Su often walked around Wuhou Mansion, most of the guards were familiar with each other. knew that Lu Su was Sun Quan's close minister, so he didn't stop him.

After entering the Wuhou Mansion, Lu Su soon came to the place where the voice came from.

Front yard, in a school yard.

Sun Quan stood in the center, wearing a martial arts uniform, with some sweat on his forehead, obviously just practicing martial arts.

At this moment, he was holding a roll of bamboo slips and laughing, and his turquoise eyes were full of excitement.

Sun Quan rarely has a gaffe, and it is the first time Lu Su has seen such a gaffe.

I guessed even more about what happened in my heart, which caused Sun Quan to lose his temper so much. But Lu Su was very usual on his face, and after walking to Sun Quan's side, he saluted and said, "Lord." ”

Because he was extremely excited, Sun Quan didn't pay attention to his surroundings. It wasn't until Lu Su shouted out this lord that Sun Quan discovered Lu Su.

Very happy said: "Zijing, come and take a look." ”

Hearing this, Lu Su took a few steps forward and came to Sun Quan's body. Sun Quan took the opportunity to hand over the bamboo slip in his hand, and said with a smile: "Look at this bamboo slip, it is as lonely as eating three bison, and my strength is greatly increased, and my whole body is comfortable." ”

Not only is his demeanor out of shape, but he is even out of shape when he speaks.

Lu Su was even more curious. took the bamboo slip in Sun Quan's hand, and after looking at it, he understood everything.

Jiangdong, like Jingzhou, lacked war horses. Extreme lack.

Now that Cao Ying has basically controlled the north, the war horse can only be transferred from Xiliang to Hanzhong and then to Jingzhou. The journey is long, thousands of miles.

It was already scarce, but after arriving in Jingzhou, most of it was taken away by Liu Biao.

The scarcity of Jiangdong war horses has reached an extremely serious point.

Everyone in the world understands that in order to control Jing Chu, Wu Yue must have a strong naval army, excellent warships, bows and arrows. And to crusade against the Central Plains, it is necessary to have strong troops and cavalry.

The scarcity of war horses made it difficult for Jiangdong to send troops to the north.

This is a problem that is extremely troublesome for Sun Quan, as well as for the entire force in Jiangdong. But now this problem is solved.

Jiang Qin once made a routine patrol of the river and actually caught a caravan. It not only has more than 300 war horses, but also has a golden waterway.

A route that can directly cross Cao Ying's blockade and go directly to Liaodong and traffic war horses.

Jiangdong is so short of horses, so in need of horses, thirsty for war horses. It's no wonder that Sun Quan became so out of shape after seeing this document.

Lu Su was also happy, but he cared more about the information revealed inside.

First, this is the route discovered by Liu Feng, and the unauthorized detention of Liu Feng's officials and the seizure of war horses will cause evil. Second, can they get past Liu Feng and complete the deal with Gongsun Kang. After all, since Liu Feng was able to sell war horses from Liaodong, it proved that he had a certain friendship with Gongsun Du, and even an alliance.

"My lord, I'm afraid this route is not so easy to get." Lu Su spoke, and then said the worry in his heart again.

I don't want Sun Quan to laugh after listening to it: "Zijing is too worried." ”

After saying a word, Sun Quan continued to laugh and said: "If the Shanyue Rebellion had not been pacified, Jiangdong would indeed be afraid of Liu Feng, but now. Hehe. ”

"The armies of Gong Jin and the generals are in the process of destroying Shanyue, and the combat power of the soldiers has increased and become more courageous. The number of soldiers has also increased. In addition, Shanyue was extinguished, and the dispatch of the Jiangdong army no longer took care of their hands and feet. Now is the best time for Jiangdong, how can you be afraid of that Liu Feng? Saying that, Sun Quan's face was pale, a little hideous, and a little cold: "Liu Feng killed the lonely general, took away thousands of my soldiers, and four cities." Lone can't wait to swallow his flesh and blood, and now he accidentally discovers this route, of course Lone wants to enjoy it exclusively. It doesn't matter how Liu Feng will react. ”

Self-confidence, Sun Quan at this moment is the self-confidence that a prince who owns the vast territory of six counties and eighty-one prefectures in Jiangdong.

Although many people evaluate Liu Feng's three counties, they are very close to Jiangdong's forces. But in fact, the gap is still very large.

It doesn't matter how many people there are, or the army, generals, ministers, and talent reserves. Liu Feng is not as good as Jiangdong.

Of course, this is a force on the surface, if Sun Quan knew about the existence of Taiwan, he might not even be able to sleep.

But Sun Quan didn't know, so his self-confidence swelled. Since Fu exterminated Yamakoshi, he has no worries, and his combat effectiveness and reserve forces have increased substantially.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Shanyue surrendered, as long as he was given a year, he was confident that he would develop his power to the point of completely overriding Liu Feng.

At that time, it will not be a simple matter of monopolizing the waterway, but a matter of sending troops to recapture Jiujiang and even counterattack Jiangxia.

Sun Quan was not very afraid of Liu Feng, because he felt that Liu Feng's frequent victories were due to luck.

defeated Zhou Yu only because Zhou Yu had too many restrictions and not enough troops. defeated Cao Ren, it was only because of the existence of the Fire Bull Formation that Liu Feng won a big victory.

If it is a real sword and a real gun, it is estimated that three or five Liu Feng will not want to defeat Cao Ren.

Lu Su also has the same surname as Jiang Wan, after the lord made a decision, and the decision was not too bad. It's not going to be a random idea.

Lu Su also calculated in his heart, and now all aspects of Jiangdong's forces have recovered. The rise of Jiangfang is one of them, and the second is that Zhou Yu's army has expanded, and there are currently 20,000 troops, stationed in Yuzhang.

It is only separated from Jiujiang and one river.

If he swallows this waterway alone, Liu Feng will definitely not give up. If the envoys can't resolve the exchanges, Liu Feng may move troops.

Don't think about the water army, Jiangdong is too strong. Liu Feng did not dare to use the army to kill Jiangdong. It can only be a foot pawn.

Yuzhang is also a big city, plus Zhou Yu commanded 20,000 troops to be stationed, which is enough to resist Liu Feng, and even hit Liu Feng head-on.

After calculation, Jiangdong is first-class in terms of strength, power, and status.

There is no need to be afraid of Liu Feng.

Therefore, Lu Su kept silent and agreed with Sun Quan's decision.

"As for the question of Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, it is even simpler. Liu Feng can give Gongsun Kang, and so can we. Why can't he trade with us? ”

"The problem now is that Liu Feng's envoys are probably here soon. If he turns his face, according to Liu Feng's temper, he may send troops to attack Yuzhang. But Lone didn't want to start the war too early, Lone wanted to wait a month for Gong Jin's army to get ready. The excited look on Sun Quan's face gradually subsided, replaced by caution.

Sun Quan was actually a very cautious person, and he risked a full-scale war with Liu Feng to swallow the channel alone. That's because the stakes are too great.

According to the news harvested by Jiang Qin, Liaodong is thousands of war horses at a time, and they can travel four or five times a year. The stakes are too big, too big.

It was so big that Sun Quan could hardly refuse. But it doesn't mean that Sun Quan will be blindly arrogant. He's still very sane. He knew very well that if it was a war, Zhou Yu would defend the city, and the longer he would prepare, the more advantageous it would be.

For the time being, you have to use the word trick to support it for a month, and then you can turn your face with Liu Feng.
