This battle in the waters of the Yangtze River outside Moling immediately built up the confidence of Cao Jun's navy.

During this battle,
The navy led by Gan Ning is like a tall and strong giant; while the hundreds of warships led by Han Dang are like a group of kindergarten children who can only cry
In the end, it was foreseeable that the navy led by Han Dang was defeated so quickly and thoroughly that it did not even cause the slightest trouble to Cao Jun's warship.

Han Dang, who had escaped, was in a trance at the moment, and it was not until he fled back to the water village in Wuhu that Han Dang came back to his senses.

Han Dang quickly recovered from the defeat, and he told his soldiers:

"Quickly, record two detailed records of the situation encountered by our army! Send one to Zhang Changshi of Wu County, and the other to Lord Hefei!"

At this time, Han Dang finally remembered Zhang Zhao's order, so he added: "Also, immediately transfer manpower from other places to strengthen the coastal defense! Without my order, don't go into the water to fight Cao's army again!"

After the messengers left one after another, Han Dang calmed down a little and began to bandage the wound.

At the same time, Han Dang began to cheer himself up again, "We still need big ships to deal with big ships. As long as the lord and the captain's navy come back to help, Cao Jun, who is a layman in water warfare, can only be wiped out!"

In Lu Yan's opinion, this battle may not even be considered a small test of the sword, at best it is just bullying the children in the kindergarten.

It was already midnight, and Lu Yan stood at the bow of the boat, looking far away at the south bank of the Yangtze River where he couldn't see anything at all.

Sima Yi had already counted the results of the battle, and he came to Lu Yan to report to him: "Teacher, we have sunk more than 200 warships of the Jiangdong Army and captured 380 people in total. number."

Speaking of this, Sima Yi paused for a while and continued to read: "Our army also has six wounded, all due to accidental injuries caused by excessive tension and improper operation during combat."

After listening to the report, Lu Yan nodded to Sima Yi and said, "Very well, thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Sima Yi immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Students should do everything."

"Let's rest tonight and rest on the north bank for a night, and tomorrow morning, we will start attacking the Wuhu water village.

After destroying the Wuhu water village, we will destroy the fortifications of the Soochow navy along the way to the west, and we must attract the navy of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to return. "

"Ah, these strategic deployments, teacher, should you tell General Gan and the others?" Sima Yi was a little confused. Lu Yan should tell the commander of the navy, Gan Ning, and Flying General Su about these things. What's the use of talking to him, a Sima with the army? .

Lu Yan turned his head, looked into Sima Yi's eyes and said, "I know that you are unwilling to be lonely, and you also have talents that match your ambition."

Lu Yan's words immediately made Sima Yi's hair stand on end, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat!
Sima Yi was terrified in his heart, and said anxiously, "Why...why would he know the thoughts I buried deepest in my heart?"

Lu Yan saw the flash of panic in Sima Yi's eyes, so he asked with a half-smile: "You must be very strange, why you have always been humble and never competed with others for fame and wealth, but I suddenly Did you say that?"

"Students don't dare!" Sima Yi quickly lowered his head and bowed in salute, using this to cover up his panic.

Lu Yan shook his head, helped Sima Yi up, and said again: "Actually, in my opinion, it's not a bad thing for a person to be ambitious."

"?" Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then the alarm bells rang in his heart: "I believe you! You old thief Lu must be trying to trick me!"

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't express anything, Lu Yan knew that he didn't believe what he said.

But Lu Yan didn't explain much, just said: "As long as your ambition is beneficial to the big man and the people of the big man, so what's the problem with being more ambitious?"

Sima Yi understood now.

What Lu Yan meant was: You can have ambitions, or you can have great ambitions. But as long as you don't endanger the country and the people of Dahan, he won't have any opposition.

Sima Yi has a natural desire for power, because only with absolute power can he make full use of his abilities; only with absolute power can he bring himself enough security.

At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly had an impulse.
He really wanted to tell Lu Yan that he had ambitions!

He wants to become an invincible commander who is admired by everyone!
I also want to be like him, a ruler who can be loved by all the people in the world!
It was also at this moment that Sima Yi suddenly realized that the person he most wanted to be was actually standing in front of him like this!
In Sima Yi's eyes, Lu Yan's slender and tall figure became incomparably majestic, and there was even a sacred and gentle halo around him!

In Sima Yi's eyes looking at Lu Yan, he couldn't help showing a trace of fanaticism!
When Lu Yan turned around, Sima Yi immediately lowered his head to hide his emotions.

After helping Sima Yi up, Lu Yan turned around and faced the south bank of the Yangtze River. He didn't notice the emotion change on Sima Yi's face and eyes just now.

Sima Yi's ambition is a double-edged sword. If he uses it, he can kill the enemy and be invincible; but if he uses it incorrectly, he may also bring about his own destruction.

For Lu Yan, Sima Yi's ambition has both his own reasons and the reason of making a hero out of facts.If it weren't for the weakness of the monarchs in the late Cao Wei Dynasty, Sima Yi would not have been given a chance to seize power.

Therefore, in addition to cultivating Zhuge Liang as the greatest restraint for Sima Yi, Lu Yan also specially brought him by his side, instilling his thoughts and values ​​from time to time.

"Zhongda, you are one of my most proud students. I hope you can also inherit my will and do your part to protect the Han nation and the people of Daha."

When Sima Yi heard this, his body trembled uncontrollably, "Student, please follow the teacher's teachings, until death!"

"Huh?" Lu Yan looked back at Sima Yi with some surprise, and thought, "Why do you sound like Zhuge Liang?"

But Lu Yan didn't care too much, he replied: "We Dahan people are the kindest and most hardworking people in the world, but there are many barbarian people who are not yet fully civilized around the Dahan.

Therefore, when it's time to be tough, you can't blindly be kind, because for those people, only fists are the real truth. "

"What the teacher meant"

"Some ministers in the court read themselves as fools when they read books. They thought that the wild people were as docile and kind as the common people. Some people even tried to sell their own country's interests for the sake of appearance."

Sima Yi felt that Lu Yan's words were reasonable, but a little unreasonable.So he just kept silent, so as not to say anything that would cause trouble
"Since you came out with me, I hope you can take a good look at it and learn what I did to those foreign nations."

"Oh, dare I ask, teacher, how do you plan to treat those foreigners?" Sima Yi asked curiously.

Lu Yan glanced at Sima Yi, and said as a matter of course: "Of course I convince people with 'reason'!"

Convincing people with reasoning, yes!

Because the truth is within the range of the cannon!
