If he could, of course he wanted to manipulate Sun Quan like Sun Quan controlled Jingzhou, but unfortunately, using ethereal immortals to intimidate Sun Quan was the limit of what Zhuge Liang could do now.

Sun Quan suddenly laughed: "Kong Ming said early that there are immortals, so there is no need to waste so many tongues!" ”

"With the help of immortals, are we still afraid of failure?"

Zhuge Liang smiled but said nothing.

If he really believed Sun Quan's words, he would really have a ghost.

Without the previous preparations and promises of benefits, unless Qin Tian himself was present in person, it would be impossible to let Sun Quan loosen his mouth.

To put it bluntly, if there is no profit, it is not early, if there is no benefit, Sun Quan is not in a hurry to unite with Liu Bei!

As for the last immortal theory, it is just a layer of insurance.

Even if there is no such statement, the intention of the two sides to unite is actually basically determined.

If Sun Quan was not promised benefits, it would not be easy for an immortal to come forward.

"Just ......"

Sun Quan's voice did not fall, but someone outside the account reported urgently.

Now that the intention of cooperation has basically been determined, Sun Quan did not shy away from Zhuge Liang, and watched it on the spot.

After reading it, he burst out laughing.

"Look at this Cao Cao, he actually claims to have an army of 800,000, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a little amused when he heard this.

Of course, the 800,000-strong army may be true, but how many can really go to war?

There may have been 800,000 people with the army, but there were only about 200,000 soldiers.

As for the real elite, I'm afraid that it will have to be discounted in half.

So these 800,000 troops can only deceive fools.

Only those who do not understand the military will be frightened by this number.

Just like those literati, who have been on the battlefield, they will never be shocked by this outrageous number.

Cao Cao's announcement enlivened the atmosphere in the account a lot.

After laughing, Sun Quan then raised the question that he hadn't finished talking about just now.

"But after all, then Cao Cao's water master ......"

Zhuge Liang has the chance to win: "If the general doesn't believe it, he only needs to give it a try, then Cao Cao will know a thing or two." ”

"The top priority is to unite the two armies and train them first, so that they can move forward on the battlefield!"

Sun Quan exclaimed loudly: "Okay, that's how it should be!" ”

After this negotiation, the matter of the Sun-Liu alliance has been decided, and everything is on the right track.

At the same time, Liu Bei was garrisoning Fankou at this time.

After leaving Changbanpo, Liu Bei, who had settled down, sent patrolling soldiers every day to watch Sun Quan's army by the river.

Liu Bei, that's what you want to wear.

Especially after Zhuge Liang returned, Liu Bei looked forward to uniting with the army of Eastern Wu as soon as possible.

There is no way, now the situation is stronger than people, Liu Bei is eager to recapture Jingzhou, and it is almost to the point of looking forward to it.

Finally, Liu Bei waited for this day.

As soon as he saw Zhou Yu's fleet, Liu Bei sent someone to Wei Lao.

But I don't know whether to give Liu Bei a dismissal or for some other reason, Zhou Yu actually wanted Liu Bei himself to go to meet him.

He was reluctant to come to see Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang was unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that there was no way to do it.

Since we are now relying on the strength of others, we can only do what others ask.

So Liu Bei went in person.

After the consolation, it is time to get down to business.

Although they planned to fight against Cao Cao together, even if Zhou Yu arrived, Liu Bei's side did not know how many people Dongwu had sent.

It wasn't until Zhou Yu replied that Liu Bei finally knew that Zhou Yu had brought 30,000 people to come this time.

"It's a pity that there are too few." Liu Bei was a little worried: "Where are so many people enough?" ”

Zhou Yu was full of confidence: "That's enough, the general will see me defeat Cao Jun." ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything, and then wanted to summon Lu Su and the others.

Since it is to join forces, the two sides must see each other.

said that it was a meeting, but in fact, to put it bluntly, Liu Bei wanted part of the command.

How could Zhou Yu give up the command, so he gave the same answer as he had rejected Liu Bei before.

Liu Bei had no choice but to accept the status quo.

But on the other hand, it's a good thing.

This shows that the military orders of the Eastern Wu are strict, and all they bring are elites.

Liu Bei was happy again.

Then, after a few days of training between the two sides, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and two thousand sailors to follow Zhou Yu, of course, the command of these two thousand people was in Liu Bei's own hands.

After the two armies were united, they soon began to practice.

By December, the Sun-Liu coalition was formally formed.

After the union, the Sun and Liu coalition troops went upstream, firstly to explore the military situation, and secondly, to run in the army and practice.

At this time, the Sun-Liu coalition army met Cao Cao's army unexpectedly.

When they reached Chibi, the combined forces of Sun and Liu met the Cao army, which was crossing the river.

Enemies are divided into red eyes when they see each other, let alone them.

But Zhou Yu and the others did not act rashly, but planned to observe it first.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, Zhou Yu and the others were suddenly overjoyed.

It is obvious to everyone that Cao Jun's morale is very insufficient.

So the two sides had a fight.

The result is naturally self-evident, the Sun-Liu coalition army suddenly won a big victory, and the Cao army was beaten and fled.

This war just confirmed what Zhuge Liang said before.

The Cao army has been fighting for many years, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and the newly incorporated naval army is even more vulnerable.

Sun and Liu Lianjun are obviously very optimistic about their future.

Cao Cao didn't take his first defeat to heart, he felt that the problem should be solved quickly.

Most of Cao Jun's people were northerners, and when they first came to the south, they were naturally unaccustomed to the soil and water.

And since many of the foot soldiers were on board for the first time, quite a few fell ill directly.

Now it's winter again, and this climate has also infected many people, and Cao Jun can almost be said to be plagued internally.

But this is not too much of a problem, it only needs a little tweaking, and it will not be long before the plague problem is solved.

As for the low morale, it is very simple, it is nothing more than that it is difficult for the newly formed naval army and the newly attached Jingzhou naval army to run in.

It's just a matter of time.

Therefore, Cao Cao is not worried about the failure of the first battle, it is nothing more than a matter of time, and when the soldiers are completed, they will definitely return with a big victory!

It's just that the defeat in the first battle still has some impact after all, so Cao Cao had to lead the navy to the north of the river and let the navy and the army meet.

This allows the army to act as a backing for the navy to guard against enemy attacks, and at the same time gives many soldiers time to practice and practice.

While Cao Cao docked the warship to the Wulin side of the north bank, trained the navy, and waited for a good opportunity, Zhou Yu docked the warship on the Chibi side of the south bank and confronted Cao's army across the Yangtze River.

The two sides face each other across the river, and all places are waiting for the time to come.

And at this moment, Cao Cao made a decision that made everyone laugh off their big teeth.

Because the foot soldiers really couldn't adapt to the battle on the river, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the foot soldiers, Cao Cao was whimsical and connected all the ships with iron cables.

In this way, even on a ship, the infantry horse can walk on the ground and fight the enemy.

Cao Cao's idea is very good, since the water army can't beat you, then don't fight you with the water army.

If we can't fight a water war, then we will fight a land war that we are good at!

The idea was good, but Cao Cao didn't realize the consequences of doing so.

There is no way to do it.

Because after some training, Cao Cao found that no matter how he trained his troops, he would not be able to make his navy have the same combat effectiveness as the Sun-Liu coalition army in a short period of time.

His original intention was to rely on the sailors of Jingzhou to take down Eastern Wu and Liu Bei.

But the failure in the first battle was a slap in the face to Cao Cao, and the facts told him that Jingzhou's sailors could not be relied on.

If he is willing to wait, go home, and train for two or three years, Sun Liu Lianjun really has no way to take him.

At that time, the battle between the two sides will be a real battle of combat effectiveness.

But Cao Cao didn't want to go back like this, he wanted to finish his work in one battle, so he came up with this method that was not a way.

When the news came back, the crowd unanimously decided to use fire.

These ships are linked together, and they are simply live targets, and it would be too condescending to attack them without fire.

……

Just when the Battle of Chibi was in full swing and was about to usher in the final result, on the Chibi, Qin Tian's screening also came to an end.

First of all, corn, a high-yield and drought-tolerant crop, after tens of thousands of screenings, Qin Tian finally screened out the varieties he wanted.

This corn is not far behind the high-yielding, drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant varieties of later generations.

And because this is a purely natural selection, it is very difficult for the traits of its offspring to metamorphose.

If you do a good job of breeding at the time of planting, I am afraid that it can be maintained for thousands of years and still be able to produce high yields.

According to Qin Tian's estimates, even in the harshest environment, as long as this corn can grow, it will yield at least two stones per mu.

If the environment is suitable, the yield per mu can even reach six or seven stones.

Not to mention sweet potatoes, the yield is ridiculously high.

With these two crops, there will be no shortage of food for at least the next 300 years.

It's just that......

Looking at the two crops in his hands, Qin Tian was stunned.

Is the lack of food among the people really a problem of crop yields?

Qin Tian felt that this was more like a man-made disaster than a natural disaster.

In fact, there have been very few famines caused by real natural disasters in history, almost a handful.

Most famines are simply man-made disasters.

No matter how much grain is produced, it cannot compete with the looting of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, nor can it compare with the excesses of taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

The more grain produced in the land, the more the landlords and gentry looted the common people.

"Master, what are you hesitating about?"

Mu Chun turned into a small dragon and floated beside Qin Tian.

Since Qin Tian settled here, the two little guys, Mu Chun and Ling Xia, have really been boring and tight.

After getting used to the prosperity of the world, it is difficult for them to meditate in the mountains and wilderness.

Qin Tian also happened to take this opportunity to hone their willpower.

After these months of tempering, the minds of these two little guys finally calmed down a little.

After all, Qin Tian was cultivating with his eyes closed every day, and they didn't dare to disturb Qin Tian, so they could only meditate beside him.

In their spare time, the two little ones would also run down the mountain to see the scene of the mortal battle.

Coincidentally, Qin Tian's retreat was on the main battlefield of this red cliff.

Cao Jun and Sun Liu have been facing each other across the river for more than a month.

The daily scolding war between the two sides is not lively.

The two little ones turned into human forms and often sneaked down to watch the battle between the two sides.

They were even lucky enough to see the famous scene of straw boats borrowing arrows.

After watching the battle between the two strategists, the two little guys are all related.

They are all very simple-minded, and they are very frightened in the face of this scheming monster.

If you are against them, even if you have a thousand powers, I am afraid that you will be played by these humans with complex minds.

Horror is horror, but that can't stop the two little ones from being curious about human warfare.

After being in this world for so long, it was the first time they had seen human war so close.

Ling Xia had seen Qin Tian a few times before, but the scale of those wars was not large.

Mu Chun had fought against the human army, but there weren't many of them.

It was the first time that the two of them had seen a war of hundreds of thousands of people like today.

Today, after watching the following scolding and drills, the two little guys returned to Qin Tian's side, and it just so happened that Qin Tian's retreat was over.

"Master, what is this in your hand, it looks so strange."

Qin Tian looked at the two disciples and smiled slightly: "This, this is something that can benefit all people." ”

Qin Tian was hesitating and struggling whether to give these things out.

If it is given, will it not only fail to make peace in China, but will it bring greater disasters and more wars?

He didn't think about it that much before, he thought about it and did it.

But when it was really done, Qin Tian began to hesitate again.

If we can't solve the problem of man-made disasters, even if these high-yield crops are given, what can we do?

Aren't the people of this world suffering the same?

Qin Tian let out a long sigh.

His original intention was to give the seeds of this high-yield crop to the world, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that there is something wrong with doing so.

Giving it to the people of the world is actually equivalent to not giving it to anyone.

Even though there are many resources, the world is still chaotic.

If we want to put an end to these troubled times, we need a government that can dominate the world with absolute strength.

Only when the world is unified can these crops play their role and make the country strong and prosperous, and not be bullied by foreign enemies.

But Mo said that these people at the moment, just look back two hundred years, and there is no emperor who can make Qin Tian look at it.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan's generation can be eye-catching, as for their successors...... It can only be said that there are good and bad.

If you look back a generation, you basically can't see it.

As for the subsequent Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, tsk, don't mention it.

Qin Tian sat in place and thought for a long time.

This was the first time he had hesitated and struggled for so long since his cultivation began.

Seeing that Qin Tian was deep in thought, Mu Chun and Ling Xia didn't dare to disturb, and quietly left the cliff together and slipped down the mountain to play.

"Where are you going today?" Lingxia said with a milky voice.

"How about I take you to the bottom of the river to catch fish today?" Mu Chun made a proposal.

"Good, good, catch fish!"

Ling Xia said excitedly.
