Chapter 366: Battle of the Water Army

"What! A million heroes go down to Koto!

Sun Quan asked himself that his heart was also extraordinary, even if he was not worse than Wei Tao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, but after hearing this news, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

No wonder Sun Quan is not calm, all the population of Jiangdong today is only a few million, which is all men, women and children together.

After Wei Tao was in this world, the war in the north was more intense, but the same was more rapid unification, so there were a lot fewer northerners who went down to Jiangdong, and Jiangdong itself was not calm, and it was not an overnight thing to develop the population, but it was normal for only so many people.

"Don't worry, lord! Don't worry! ”

Fortunately, at this time, Lu Su hurriedly said.

"Lord, it is naturally possible for Wei Tao to say that there are millions of male troops, but to defend the north, and to guard against Cao Cao, and even to fight with Liu Bei in Liangzhou, although there are such many troops, but there is no personal hatred with my Jiangdong, how can it be such a large army?"

After hearing Lu Su's persuasion, Sun Quan's mind finally calmed down slightly, and he looked at Lu Su and said.

"In that case, what did Wei Tao do? Is it for my Yangzhou land? ”

Yangzhou is located on the border with Cao Cao, and it is not connected with Wei Tao, but since Wei Tao's goal is not Jiangdong, Sun Quan can only think of Yangzhou.

I have to say that compared with Wei Tao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, Sun Quan is still a little inferior in courage.

In fact, the same is true in history, before the Battle of Chibi, although Sun Quan did not want to be a dead person. But in the face of Cao Cao's persuasion, he also hesitated repeatedly. If there is no strong persuasion from a subordinate. I'm afraid that there may not be a Chibi War.

But this time is a little different, although Sun Quan is not very bold, but not long ago, Wei Tao in order to lure him out of the city, but he insulted his ancestors, even if Sun Quan is no matter how brave he is, it is impossible to forget it in an instant.

What's more, Sun Quan is also a hero, how can he be a gutless person?

So he didn't wait for Lu Su to answer, he just shook his head slightly and denied this answer, and then sat down again. looked at Lu Su and asked.

"Zijing, what did Wei Tao do?"

"Enlighten the lord, one of them will try to intimidate our army! As soon as Jiangxia retreated, the lord also knew that there were many people in Jiangdong who were already afraid of the name of the general, and now Wei Tao came with a decree, and these people were already panicking, and even had the intention of taking refuge in the general. At that time, they will still be Jiangdong courtiers, but at that time, the main bus will only be one car, and the slaves will only be two or three people, and the real damage will be the lord. And not the Jiangdong courtiers too! ”

Lu Su arched his hand and said bluntly, hearing this. Although Sun Quan did not speak, his face was already pale.

Sun Quan knew very well the thoughts and strength of the Jiangdong clan, they could indeed do this, and once they really did so, unless they were bloodily suppressed, Jiangdong would definitely be offered by them.

"Second, since Wei Tao has torn up the alliance with our army and seized Jiangxia, then in the future, he will have to fight alone, facing our army alone, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are encircled, if the three parties move together, even Wei Tao will not be able to win easily. And taking advantage of the new defeat of our army at this time, it is precisely because we are afraid that the troops at that time will force our naval army to fight with it, so that it can break the heart of our army, and at the same time, its naval army is cruising day and night, and the Yangtze River moat is used for it! ”

Lu Su said slowly, hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Quan couldn't help but nod slightly.

I have to say that Lu Su did have a good strategy, but in the end, he was calculated by Wei Tao and Zhou Yu, and he did think that Wei Tao was attacking instead of defending, and he didn't expect that Wei Tao actually had the intention of going down to Jiangdong.

"Zijing, what should I do now?"

After confirming that Wei Tao was not leading the troops down, Sun Quan was also certain in his heart, and after thinking about it slightly, he immediately nodded and asked.

"That Wei Tao dares to despise me Jiangdong so much, it is absolutely unforgivable! Zijing, can our army fight back now? ”

Sun Quan didn't wait for Lu Su to answer at all, he had actually set the tone, but Lu Su obviously agreed with this, and after hearing Sun Quan's words, Lu Su immediately nodded slightly.

"What the lord said is true, since Wei Tao dares to do this, it is obvious that he does not put our army in his eyes, if not, I am afraid that Wei Tao will really gain an inch, and he will really go south to Jiangdong, and the situation will definitely be out of control at that time."

"Zijing's words are correct, so what should I do now?"

Hearing that Lu Su was united with himself, Sun Quan's heart was immediately certain, and with Lu Su's support, then Sun Quan would not have so much trouble.

"The lord should now set the heart of Jiangdong first, let the Jiangdong clan understand the sinister intentions of Wei Tao, and then send the army to fight with Wei Tao, even if Wei Tao was able to defeat our army before, but the northerners rode and the southerners sailed, can the naval army under Wei Tao still be compared with our army?"

Lu Su's words revealed infinite confidence, in fact, Sun Quan heard the same as before.

"Good! If you have a son to help me, why worry about not succeeding in a big event? ”

In fact, what Lu Su said is not bad, after the news came, there are indeed many people of the big clan who have the heart to surrender, anyway, for them, who is not helping each other?

Since these big families have intentions, they will naturally come to persuade Sun Quan to surrender.

In addition, Sun Quan was defeated before, but when facing these people, he couldn't help but feel a little weak, if he hadn't made up his mind earlier, I am afraid he would inevitably be moved.

Compared with history, Huang Gai and other old ministers are no longer there, and the cutting-edge Xu Sheng was captured by Wei Tao again, and the most powerful people in the entire Jiangdong are those people from the wealthy families in Jiangdong, and almost all the ministers in Jiangdong are from the Jiangdong clan.

If it weren't for Lu Su's prestigiousness, with Lu Su's prestige in the army, and Sun Quan had already made up his mind, I'm afraid the final result would be really hard to say.

However, in the end, the determination of the Jiangdong families was finally unified, and the Jiangdong Navy finally began to step up its defense on the Yangtze River moat, and Lu Su was also appointed by Sun Quan as the Governor of the Navy, responsible for the affairs of the Jiangdong Navy.

At this time, Wei Tao had already established Jiangxia Water Village again, and he could attack Jiangdong down the river at any time.

Although the transmission of news between the two rivers was inconvenient, the fact that Lu Su served as the governor of the navy to lead the Jiangdong navy quickly reached Wei Tao's ears.

As soon as they heard the news, Wei Tao and Zhou Yu understood that their plan had indeed been accomplished, and the Jiangdong Army had already thought that Wei Tao was attacking instead of defending, otherwise, Sun Quan, who had fought against Wei Tao before, had no reason to give up leading the army this time.

The only possibility is that Sun Quan also didn't think of Wei Tao's real purpose this time.

Wei Tao's series of actions had already confused Jiangdong.

In fact, it is not only to confuse Jiangdong, if you know that Wei Tao intends to take Jiangdong in this battle, no matter how small the possibility is, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will definitely make a move behind Wei Tao.

But there was no such news at this time.

"Lord, you should fight with it in person."

After making sure that everything was ready, Zhou Yu immediately said to Wei Tao about it.

For this battle, Wei Tao had already set a strategy before, and it was naturally impossible to change it.

And the first time he went to battle, no matter from what point of view, Wei Tao, who had already put down his arrogance, naturally wanted to personally lead the army.

Wei Tao has not led a naval fleet, but on this naval army, it is different from land, between the ships, looking around, countless ships escorting the march, but Wei Tao has a feeling that the overall situation is in hand.

Wei Tao moved like this, although the news transmission on the water is not as convenient as on the land, but this is in Jiangdong, for the Jiangdong army, it can be easily known, Wei Tao's movements are all mastered by the other party, such a move, Lu Su naturally knew, and immediately led the troops to fight.

"Knock knock ......"

The earth-shattering drums sounded again, and the drums stood high above the bows of countless ships, which was quite imposing.

Wei Tao habitually wanted to step forward, but at this time he found that on this big river, even if the fleet was in opposite formations, it was not as convenient as on land, and if Wei Tao wanted to order his flagship to step forward, then it was very likely to disrupt his own formation.

After all, this boat is on the water, and it is still affected by water power, and Wei Tao really can't command it arbitrarily.

Moreover, on this water, it is not easy to even want to talk, after all, the two armies are far apart, so it is naturally impossible to talk in the air.

"Gong Jin, it seems that you really need to command this formation."

Wei Tao smiled slightly bitterly and looked at Zhou Yu on the side, but Zhou Yu shook his head slightly at this time.

"My lord, on this big river, if I command the overall situation, I will naturally not have a problem, but if I want to rely on the ship, then it must be General Gan Ning. No matter how I am, it's hard for me to command on the spot. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, and didn't say much, the requirements for the temporary command of this naval army battle are obviously higher, and Wei Tao immediately looked back at Gan Ning.

"Xingba, do you have any confidence?"

"The lord is rest assured, I will live up to the expectations of the lord!"

Gan Ning suddenly stepped forward and said, seeing this, Wei Tao nodded slightly, and said so.

"In that case, then I will order you to lead my vanguard fleet to action, and the first battle between these two armies must not be defeated."

"No!"

After Gan Ning received the order, he immediately sailed up in a small boat, and after boarding the vanguard ship, he immediately ordered the pioneer fleet to go out with him.

"Gan Ningguo is a general. Although I don't understand the strategy of the navy, I also know that it is most difficult to maintain the position of the boat on the river, but our navy can maintain the formation and move forward, which is the merit of Gan Xingba! ”

Seeing that his vanguard fleet was also faintly formed into a formation in action, and there was a subtle connection between each other, Wei Tao couldn't help but praise it.

However, at this moment, a team was also killed in the Jiangdong ship formation, and the momentum formation was also not bad towards Gan Ning, and under the water and wind, the two armies were soon decided! (To be continued......)
