Chapter 1022 Cautious Zhang Ren
……
Liu Tong was still ignorant of the affairs in the north, so naturally he didn't care too much about it.
In his spare time when he was sleeping, he further put his focus and focus on the strong man's quotations and Zhang Ren's head.
In particular, the ship went up the Yangtze River and passed the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River safely.
Through the sight of the inner air ball, we can further understand the two banks of the Yangtze River, appreciate the changes in it, and understand the situation in it.
Lu Jun looked at the water village along the Yangtze River, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
Whether it is Zhou Yu or Liu Biao, the investment in the water army is quite large.
Liu Biao had the advantage of being a first-mover, but because Jingzhou's navy was basically monopolized by the Cai family and the Zhang family, it had not been expanded for a long time, and it lacked sufficient reserve forces.
In the face of the rising star Zhou Yu, who greatly expanded the army and built ships, he did not show a crushing posture as at the beginning.
On the contrary, as the battle of the naval army continues, the distinction between the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides has been reversed.
And Cai Mao, who is in charge of the Jingzhou Naval Army, has gradually felt Zhou Yu's pressure on him, but in the face of this difficulty and dilemma.
Cai Mao not only did not report it, but covered it up.
Because once this kind of thing is reported, it means that Liu Biao has sufficient reasons to officially intervene in the Jingzhou Navy, which seriously threatens his dominance in the Jingzhou Navy.
Even if the two are in-laws, Cai Mao must put an end to this possibility.
However, Cai Mao also has his own self-confidence, after all, the navy is different from the army, and the difference in strength cannot determine everything.
A navy that takes years or even decades to build may be completely wiped out in a major battle.
Almost every battle of the navy is a grand gamble, and in this regard, Cai Mao is quite self-aware.
The huge number has little to do with the real combat effectiveness and the final outcome of victory or defeat.
If you are lucky, you will go in one pot, and if you are unlucky, it depends on your personal ability.
Water battles are not only about the strength of the ships and the skills of the armies, but also about luck and geographical advantages!
Obviously, occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, he is full of geographical advantages, and the ships under his command have also been warmed for a long time and are of extremely high quality, and the soldiers in his hands themselves have been honed for a long time and are skilled in water warfare.
It is precisely because of this that he can bring him victory after victory, even if the later victories are getting more and more difficult, Cai Mao still doesn't feel that there is much of a problem.
Instead, he confidently suppressed the battle report, waited for the right opportunity in the back, and took Zhou Yu away in a wave...
Cai Mao and Zhou Yu's naval camps were far apart, and in the middle was the Yangtze River waterway, and they were stationed upstream and downstream.
This also led to Lu Jun taking Zhang Ren and others, and the first thing they saw was Zhou Yu's water army camp.
Of course, it was precisely because they were walking from the downstream upwards and flying their flags to show their identities that they were not intercepted and hindered by Zhou Yu's fleet.
For these soldiers, who guarded the Yangtze River day and night, they also did not believe that Cai Mao would have ships running from their upstream to their downstream.
So when it came to passing, it was quite smooth.
However, this situation was reversed when he was about to arrive at Jingzhou Water Village.
Any ship from the downstream to the upstream is within the warning range of the Jingzhou naval army, because Zhou Yu's naval camp is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which threatens them all the time, seriously threatening their safety.
Therefore, even though it was ostensibly a merchant ship, the Jingzhou naval army still maintained a high degree of vigilance, but did not directly board the ship to search and check, but only kept looking at the ship to avoid it from approaching the Jingzhou naval camp.
When Lu Jun saw the final result, it was actually like this, he glanced at Zhang Ren with satisfaction, and nodded happily.
Sure enough, as I imagined, one army is out of confidence in its own strength, and the other army is to avoid being caused more damage, so if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, and if you can hide it, unless there is no way back, it is difficult to fight to the death...
Even in the face of possible unexpected factors, even the vigilance that should be there is much less.
"General Zhang, from your point of view, what is the comparison between the Jingzhou Navy and Zhou Yu's Navy Army?" Lu Jun looked at the Jingzhou Water Army camp that gradually disappeared between the mountains, turned his head to Zhang Ren, who had just breathed a sigh of relief with a cautious face, and asked.
"Maybe it's because of the different mentality." Zhang Ren recalled what he had seen before, finally nodded, and said directly, "Zhou Yu's navy is more vigorous, as if it has not been affected by the defeat, and it feels more impactful, as for the Jingzhou navy, it can only be said to be quite stable, stable to the extent that it feels a little conservative..."
If you are on land, out of a cautious attitude, when you set up camp, even if there are merchants passing by, you should simply ask and search to ensure your own safety.
Of course, more people basically kill this kind of behavior directly, so as to ensure their military secrets, and by the way, they can also harvest the merchant's goods.
And now on the Yangtze River, in the face of merchant ships like them flying flags, the Jingzhou Navy didn't even ask, and just let them go.
If you put some troops in the ship and go upstream with weapons, you can implement the tactic of two sides and two sides.
When the time comes, both from the land and from the water of the Yangtze River.
No matter how well the Jingzhou Water Army Camp is repaired, it will not be able to withstand such an attack.
When the time comes, the ships will be blocked in the naval barracks, and the water battle will be directly changed to a land battle, and the victory or defeat will be clear at a glance.
"Is that what General Zhang actually thinks? What an unexpected amount of caution. Lu Jun looked at Zhang Ren curiously.
How did such a cautious general become the archangel in the chat group? It doesn't look like it anymore.
"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, naturally we must be cautious, because of the recklessness for a while, completely bury the army, and thus ruin the national fortune or something, I can't afford it..."Zhang Ren thought about the military books he had read, and said quite cautiously.
The more soldiers you bring, the more pressure you will be carried.
If it is a national soldier, then the pressure is even more outrageous, it is simply a war to determine the fortune of the country.
War or something, but there is never a game of victory, and if something happens, the country is basically gone.
If he really met such a general, Zhang Ren felt that he could vomit blood, and the country would not be far from the end.
So be cautious, maybe the record is not so good, but at least it doesn't die so quickly, after all, the war is not only responsible for the individual, but also for the country ...
