Liu Xun looked up and saw Gan Ning's eager look, and thought about it in his heart, but he also guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

Gan Ning is a very confident and capable person. And these days, Liu Xun led the generals and fought several big victories in a row, which can be regarded as showing his heroism.

But now in the water battle that he is very good at, in the face of the Jiangdong naval army, he can only be trapped in Moling, and he can't retreat. How could this arrogant man stand it. Now that the stars and the moon are finally looking forward to the lord, if the lord wants to attack Sun Quan, he Gan Ning must be a pioneer, and he must beat Sun Quan out of the to live up to his heroic nature.

The emotions of the generals under him, of course, must be considerate of the masters. What's more, this Gan Ning was a general of the navy in his previous life, and compared to the land station, water warfare is what he is good at.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun couldn't help but think in his heart, in Jiangdong, a place where the water network is crisscrossed, if Gan Ning is allowed to train a water army, then develop a good water army, protect the waterways, protect merchant ships, and fight water thieves. It will definitely make Jiangdong prosperous, and the most important thing is that if there is no sneak attack on Cao Cao in the future, there is still a way back.

And all this, of course, depends on Gan Ning, the general. Although Gan Ning is good at water warfare, he is not a god after all, and it is simply impossible to become an army in a short period of time.

After all, the quality of the navy can only be consolidated by accumulation over time, and it will take at least a year and a half to practice before it can be barely used. But compared with the elite navy left by Sun Ce to Sun Quan, I am afraid there is still a considerable distance, so this is not something that can be made up for by short-term training at all.

I have to think of a way to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the navy in a short period of time, so that I can fight with Sun Quan. Since it is impossible to obtain it in manpower, it can only work on the warship. Now Gan Ning's warships are all taken from Tai Shici and Lu Meng, they are of different sizes, and the styles are also varied, some of them are still in disrepair, and they look very down.

If the warship is raised to a higher level, it will be able to change the pattern of Sun Quan's domination of the Yangtze River. Liu Xun's first thought was of the steamer, the kind of warship that could travel against the water without oars.

If there is that kind of warship, it will not be a dream to change the pattern of Jiangdong's monopoly of the navy and the Yangtze River.

But Liu Xun racked his brains and couldn't understand the shipbuilding technology, so he asked him to build an engine? Don't think about it, although Liu Xun came from later generations, he only understands some principles at most, and it is a pipe dream to really want to build an engine in this ancient period, and Liu Xun can only give up this unrealistic idea. Liu Xun gave up wishful thinking and said in his heart that it would be more practical.

It will definitely be more difficult to attack Sun Quan this time, and the reason why he was able to successfully capture Yuzhang and Moling was because Sun Ce transferred a large number of troops to attack him, and he was very extravagant to use the naval army as a siege soldier, so there were no soldiers and horses left in the city, so he gave himself a chance.

But now it is Sun Quan's lair that is going to be attacked, and the naval army there cannot be compared to itself in terms of elite level or quantity. The real people who can be counted as the water army on his side are the 800 people brought by Gan Ning's command.

Liu Xun's surging heart gradually converged, and he was not without psychological preparation, otherwise he would have directly taken advantage of the victory to pursue the entire Jiangdong in one fell swoop. Although he knew that this was a reality, and he had to spend a little time training the sailors. But the battle of Guandu is about to break out, if you don't take this opportunity to attack behind the scenes, in the face of a fierce man like Cao Cao, Liu Xun feels that he really has no chance, in the end, time waits for no one.

When he was in Lujiang, Liu Xun and the others had been thinking of a way, and they had studied for a long time but didn't come up with a reason. came up with a broken idea to win over Sun Quan's subordinates.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun couldn't help but be a little curious, and Deng Qiang, the subordinate he had sent out to win over Sun Quan, didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, Liu Xun is still a little complacent, after all, he even defeated Sun Ce, these greedy Jiangdong Yankees who are afraid of death can definitely see that Sun Quan, who has not dried up with milk, has no future. At that time, someone will definitely make the choice to surrender themselves, and the result should not be too bad, right?

It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that Deng Qiang is running into walls everywhere in Jiangdong, and the people Deng Qiang has found are basically polite on the surface, but the actual action is not at all. If you didn't sell him to Sun Quan, you were already Amitabha, and you still want them to be the internal response? It's a lot of thinking.

And the family will have these performances, all thanks to Liu Xun's performance in Lujiang is too fierce, so that no family will be optimistic about him.

In this way, you can only fight hard, but fortunately, your soldiers are basically Jiangdong people, and they will be more or less watery, but if you want to train into a water army, you can be much faster than Cao Cao in your previous life.

Cao Cao?

Liu Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly had an idea.

"Xingba is it for the sake of attacking Sun Quan?" Liu Xun smiled slightly and asked.

Gan Ning is a frank man, and when he saw that Liu Xun said what was on his mind, he didn't hide anything, and sighed. It made the lord smile. But watching the Jiangdong Navy rampant in our territory, it is really difficult to get out of a bad breath, if the lord wants to go on the expedition, he wants to be the vanguard of this expedition. ”

"That's right" Liu Xun knew in his heart, looking at Gan Ning's appearance, he was very happy.

"The Jiangdong Navy is indeed powerful, and it is really difficult for us to compete with it in a short period of time. The strength, the quality of the army, the number and quality of the warships, are not opponents. Liu Xun smiled slightly and shook his head.

Gan Ning was a little unconvinced when he heard this, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it, and his face couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Of course, Liu Xun didn't say those words in order to attack Gan Ning, speaking of this, he glanced at Gan Ning, and suddenly changed his words, and said loudly: "However, I believe that our naval army, under the leadership of Xingba, will definitely be able to fight Jiangdong and win." ”

"Thank you for your trust."

Liu Xun's words made Gan Ning feel a little better. However, although Gan Ning is not satisfied with the Jiangdong Water Army, he is not an irrational person. He knew that the gap between them and Jiangdong at this moment was really not half a star. But he has the courage to do so, and no difficulties can suppress him.

When speaking, Liu Xun always looked at Gan Ning. knew that he wanted to fight to the meeting, but his confidence was also insufficient, and Liu Xun did not break it at the moment.

Seeing that Liu Xun was still pondering, Gan Ning spoke: "The lord will rest first, and his subordinates will go to prepare for the training of the army." ”

After finishing speaking, Gan Ning bowed to Liu Xun and was about to turn his head and leave.

"Wait." Liu Xun stopped Gan Ning. Gan Ning turned his head and looked at Liu Xun suspiciously.

"Don't worry, the opportunity will come soon." Facing Gan Ning's gaze, Liu Xun smiled very confidently.

"Opportunity?" Gan Ning's brain couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed, but he still listened to Liu Xun's words. nodded and said, "Then the general will hold the troops for the first time, continue to train the naval army and wait for the opportunity." ”

After Gan Ning left, Liu Xun smiled slightly, faced the direction of Huiji, and said secretly in his heart: "Blue-eyed, I'm Liu Xun here." ”

Koto

The spies reported that Liu Xun's army had assembled in Moling and was ready to go south at any time. Sun Quan was suddenly anxious, and convened the civil and military forces overnight to discuss how to resist Liu Xun's army.

The ministers were also as frightened as Sun Quan, and they were all thinking: "Liu Xun has even defeated Sun Ce, let alone his younger brother Sun Quan?" ”

Of course, the big guys are smart people, and no one will be stupid enough to speak first and ask Sun Quan not to fight and simply surrender, and after speaking, it is estimated that his little life will be over.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were surprisingly unanimous, and they all looked at Zhang Zhao, the first adviser of Eastern Wu, and they all wanted him to be the first bird.

Zhang Zhao saw that everyone was looking at him with inexplicable eyes. As an old Jianghu, he naturally knew what these people meant. He knew that he couldn't push it off, so Zhang Zhao took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Liu Xun is now powerful, and our Jiangdong has reached its heyday under the leadership of the first master, but in this case, the first master was still defeated and killed by Liu Xun. Liu Xun had such strength in the past by relying on just one Lujiang County, not to mention that now he has occupied the two counties of Yuzhang and Moling.

After adding the defeated troops before the ancestors, it is estimated that Liu Xun's troops have reached more than 80,000. And in these battles, the veterans, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang's fierce generals Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, generals Tai Shici, Lu Meng, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and others fell one after another, and now we have few soldiers, what should we do to resist Liu Xun's army.

My lord, we are really outnumbered now, so my opinion is that it is better to give up resistance and surrender to Liu Xun, which is actually a survival strategy. "Zhang Zhao said a lot of words here, which means that he is extremely pessimistic, rather than touching a stone with an egg, it is better to bow his head as soon as possible and steal his life, a simple sentence summary." Don't resist, surrender. ”

But for surrender, although Zhang Zhao said so, he was also a little hesitant in his heart. After all, Liu Xun's reform touched the interests of the family, but he was worried that he would resist Liu Xun with Sun Quan, and when Liu Xun's army would enter the country, Jiangdong would be in the land where there would be no Zhang family.

In any case, it's good to sell Liu Xun first, to be honest, I hope that Sun Quan, a hairy boy, can stop Liu Xun, Zhang Zhao doesn't believe a word at all.

At the enlarged meeting held by Sun Quan, the slogan of Zhang Zhao's surrender to Liu had been shouted, and it was immediately unanimously praised by everyone, and their thinking was basically the same as Zhang Zhao's, and they hated and feared Liu Xun.

Seeing that the anti-Liu conference became a meeting to reduce Liu, Sun Quan really wanted to cry without tears, although everyone's slogan of lowering Liu became more and more intense, and it was 108,000 miles different from Sun Quan's original intention, but Sun Quan still remained calm, and there was no trace of unhappiness on his face.
