Chapter 247: Joy and Sorrow

After laughing for a while, Liu Hou said, "Sima Aiqing, then it's up to you to tell me what to do." ”

Sima Yi said: "Obey, Your Majesty." As he spoke, Sima Yi pointed to the map and began to elaborate on his plan. After Sima Yi took refuge in the Shu Han camp, he has not been idle, eagerly learning all kinds of advanced knowledge of the Hong army, after this period of familiarity with the situation of the Hong army, Sima Yi has an understanding of the advanced means of the Hong army that are more than a thousand years beyond this era, so when formulating the battle plan, fully consider how to apply these means.

Liu Hou and the three stinkers nodded frequently when they listened, and from time to time they asked about some doubts, or opened their mouths to add some things that Sima Yi was not very thoughtful about. Gradually, a well-thought-out plan was formulated by the monarch and several ministers.

In Xiakou, Eastern Wu, the base camp of the navy, Lu Xun was scolding Fang Xuan in front of a huge military map, pointing out the country, and all the generals under him were listening carefully to his speech:

"The operation some time ago was very successful, we have successfully damaged a super warship of the Shu army, and the remaining one can no longer become a climate, in the next stage, we will continue this tactic and increase the attack on the transportation channel of the Shu army, so as to paralyze their water transportation as much as possible, so that the northern expedition of the Shu army will inevitably end without a problem."

"But, Governor, we have been on the river and have always been unable to make great achievements, so why don't we go ashore and fight? The Shu army's navy is weak, and now it has been completely suppressed by our army, and only 20,000 or 30,000 people need to be left in the navy to completely suppress the transport ships of the Shu army. Why don't we divide a large force to land in Jingzhou and besiege Jingzhou City. As long as Jingzhou City is taken, the back road of Liu Chan's army will be cut off, so why worry about the undefeated Shu army at that time? Xu Sheng asked.

The generals of Eastern Wu were captured by Liu Hou, and Xu Sheng was the only remaining veteran of Eastern Wu. Although Lu Xun is in a high position and is the top boss of this veteran, he still respects him very much, so he patiently explained:

"The firearms of the Shu army are sharp, and our army will be defeated in the land battle, and the relevant public affairs in Jingzhou are in charge, and they will not be able to attack it in the short term. Even if you want to use a trick to sneak attack, Guan Gong has become more and more cautious after the lesson of the last time, haven't you noticed that Jingzhou is full of scouts and beacons of the Shu army within a radius of 100 miles? Even above our fleet, there are often those flying monsters staring, so to speak, every move of our army falls in the eyes of the Shu army. The movement of our large forces could not conceal the Shu army at all, and the strategy of sneak attack could no longer be implemented.

If it is attacked, our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and now our country's ~ military strength has been greatly reduced, where can it withstand a large amount of attrition. These 200,000 troops are almost the only strength in our country, and His Majesty has entrusted the family of Wu to Xun's hands, if we consume these family funds on attacking Jingzhou City, then what will we do to protect Wu in the future? Even if we can really take Jingzhou City and make Liu Chan's Northern Expedition fail, we will not be able to gain a foothold next to the two great powers of Shu and Wei in the future. ”

"Humph! Damn Liu Chan, nothing more than relying on those hidden weapons to commit murder, only secretly arrow to hurt people's villains, what kind of hero is it, if you have the opportunity to teach him a good lesson, let him know how powerful our Jiangdong heroes are. Xu Sheng smashed his fist on the desk in anger, hating the authenticity.

"Alas!" Lu Xun sighed in his heart, the generals of Eastern Wu have already suffered so much from Liu Chan, but they still haven't recognized the form, it's really sad and lamentable.

"General Xu must not underestimate Liu Chan, although these new weapons called firearms of the Shu army are vicious, they are indeed extremely sharp, and if they are used well, they can indeed run rampant in the world. Think about it, how much loss did our army and the Wei army suffer from these firearms?

And, to this day, we have not found a way to crack these weapons. If there is a way, it is also the way to return the other, and the only way to fight firearms is to use firearms. Now that His Majesty has gathered craftsmen from all over the country and started to manufacture these weapons in Jianye, I believe that soon we will be able to use them as well, and then we will never be able to fight back under the fire ~ gun attack of the Shu army. Lu Xun said.

"Humph! I, Xu Sheng, a dignified seven-foot man, disdain to use these vicious secret weapons. Although Xu Sheng said that he didn't want to use it, the expression on his face had betrayed him, and a human like Lu Xun could see at a glance that he was actually very eager to use those sharp weapons.

After all, Xu Sheng once had a big battle with the Shu army, and he has a very intuitive feeling for the power of firearms, and he has seen those things that are like artifacts, who doesn't want to have such a powerful power?

Every man has a heroic dream, every man longs for himself to have the power to overturn the river and the sea, and the gun ~ cannon is undoubtedly an instrument that can bring people a strong sense of strength, and the same example is a sports car. Therefore, boys generally like to play with toy guns from an early age, and when they grow up and have money, they like to play with cars and even go to racing. Because the car has strong mechanical power, it can control this surging power, which can make men feel a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, what we need most now is time, after all, it will take some time for those firearms to be produced. Now we must attack with all our strength and completely cut off the water transportation channel of the Shu army. When the supplies of the Shu army in the Northern Expedition are exhausted, Wei may be able to hold out for a while. As long as Wei survives this blow and the war between Shu and Wei enters a phase of stalemate, our country can take the opportunity to produce a large number of firearms, and then we will have the strength to fight with the Shu army, at least there is no problem in self-preservation. Lu Xun said.

"Report" Lu Xun was saying when a voice with a long tail came in. All the generals are in their hearts, they have been in the army for a long time, and they can hear some clues from the voice of the heralds, such as this kind of urgent, high-spirited, and anxious report, which often means that there is a bad emergency.

When the two countries are at war now, it is very likely that there is an emergency military situation. Sure enough, a dusty and tired herald rushed into the tent, knelt on one knee, clenched his hands into fists while panting, and said hurriedly: "Report to the Governor, Huhu, Changsha Guansuo led 20,000 horses under his command to kill Xiakou." His army has passed Baling and is heading towards Chibi. Whew"

The generals were shocked and left their seats one after another, no longer calming down when they listened to Lu Xun's speech before. Xiakou and Chibi are very close, and if the Shu army occupies Chibi, then Xiakou will be in danger.

The Shu army is really ruthless, they are under the blockade of the Eastern Wu naval army, the army can not cross the Yangtze River, but, before the little emperor of Shu from Lingnan to Jingzhou, the army from south to north through the territory of Eastern Wu, the place is invincible, resulting in Changsha these counties south of the Yangtze River all fall into the hands of the Shu army.

This laid a hidden danger for the national defense of Dongwu, and the generals in the tent suddenly woke up to the fact that the current shape is completely different from the time when they resisted Cao, and Dongwu and Shu do not necessarily have the barrier of the Yangtze River, and they also have territory and troops in the Jiangnan region, and they don't need to cross the river if they want to fight you.
