Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 659 Persuading Xu Sheng to Surrender

It is impossible to fight, the weapon gap is too big.

The enemy's weapons can completely cover the fleet of the Jiangdong Navy, but it is very difficult for the Jiangdong Navy to even close the distance between the two sides.

The width of the water surface of the Yangtze River is limited, and the opponent's [-] warships lie across the Yangtze River, leaving very little room for the Jiangdong navy to turn around.

I'm afraid that if you don't get close to them, you will lose most of your warships. How to fight, just hit Jill.

It was precisely because after seeing the gap between the enemy and us that Zhou Yu became so determined and ordered to retreat.

The retreat this time was not because he was afraid of Lu Yan and the new weapons, but just needed time to study how to deal with them.

The Jiangdong Marine Division was frightened and did not dare to continue to attack. After hearing the order to retreat, they immediately turned around and ran away, never intending to turn back.

When they attacked, they moved against the current, and their speed was compromised. When they turned around and fled, they traveled along the current, so they ran very fast.

Cao Jun's battleship also spread its sails, stretched out its oars, and began to chase after it.

Gan Ning's artillery continued to roar, until almost half of the shells in the warship were squandered, and then stopped the pursuit.

Looking at the Jiangdong navy who fled in a panic, Gan Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "It's so satisfying! It's so damn satisfying!"

The feeling of crushing opponents with technology is really cool!

……

Zhou Yu retreated all the way to Wuhu Port, and did not stop until he confirmed that the navy led by Gan Ning did not pursue any further.

After counting, the Jiangdong Navy, which originally had more than 2000 warships, now has only more than 500 ships left.

In that battle, nearly a quarter of the warships were directly lost. Such a miserable result almost made everyone cry.

Sun Quan's face was ashen, so gloomy that he could scrape off two ounces of ice slag; Zhou Yu changed from his previous high-spirited appearance, and stood at the bow of the ship a little lost, with a dazed face.

Although Cheng Pu on the side was also very sad, he was the first to adjust his mentality after experiencing several troughs.

Cheng Pu came to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu and comforted him, "My lord, Commander, although we lost many warships this time, Jiangdong's shipbuilding industry is very developed, and we will be able to replenish them in a few months."

But the problem is, what Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were thinking about was not the lost warships.

Zhou Yu turned around, looked at Cheng Pu with a wry smile and said, "General Cheng, you are right."

Sun Quan suddenly interjected: "But even if we can regain our strength, how can our warships fight against Cao Jun's navy?"

Sun Quan's words shocked everyone, followed by a long silence.

"That's right. Cao Jun's navy's terrifying weapons are really terrifying."

"With such a powerful weapon with such a long range, we need to pay a huge price if we want to get close."

Zhou Yu finally concluded: "The emergence of Cao Jun's new warships and new weapons can be said to have changed the way of water warfare. With that kind of weapon, they don't need to approach us at all, as long as they keep their distance, they can attack all of our fleet. Shen."

Zhou Yu's words made everyone feel powerless from the bottom of their hearts. Are they going to live in the shadow of Cao Jun's navy all the time?
"Cao's army is only threatening our army by relying on new weapons that we don't understand." Sun Quan stood up at this time, and he said to the crowd: "As long as we understand the weaknesses of those weapons, we can find ways to counter them." method. Even, we can try to make that new weapon.”

No one spoke, but Sun Quan's words made them feel more relaxed.

Lu Su also stood up at this time and said: "My lord said that it is not scary for Cao Jun to have new weapons. The scary thing is that we are shocked by unknown weapons."

Zhou Yu naturally had to stand up and say a few words, "Yes, we should try our best to understand Cao Jun's new weapons and warships. If we can, we can also build comparable weapons!"

"Yes, my lord, what the governor said is right!"

Seeing that the confidence and morale of the soldiers under his command were recovering, Sun Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After defeating the Jiangdong navy, Cao Jun's navy put away their weapons and began to march all the way to the border of Jingzhou.

After defeating the main force of the Jiangdong navy more easily than expected, Cao Jun's navy was full of confidence.

But Gan Ning and Su Fei were still awake,
They knew that the reason why Cao Jun's navy was able to defeat Jiangdong's navy so easily was that it took advantage of the opponent's ignorance of artillery, and the other was because the opponent really underestimated the enemy.

But when it comes to the real quality of water warfare, the soldiers of Cao Jun's navy are still far behind, so they can't be proud, they have to continue to hone.

In the battle of Chaisang, Gan Ning accidentally captured Jiangdong general Xu Sheng, which made Lu Yan feel a bit of unexpected joy.

In history, Xu Sheng once won the "big Zhuang" of the monarch. Throughout the entire Three Kingdoms period, only Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng received this honor, which shows Xu Sheng's ability and importance to Soochow.

Although Xu Sheng is quite popular with Sun Quan now, he has not yet reached his peak, so Lu Yan came up with the idea of ​​persuading Xu Sheng to surrender.

Led by Sima Yi, Lu Yan came to the room where Xu Sheng was temporarily detained.

Entering the room, Lu Yan began to look at the layout of the room.

There is only a hard bed, a table, and two chairs in the room.Although the layout is simple, it is very clean and bright.

Xu Sheng put his hands behind his head and lay on the hard plank bed. He didn't get up when Lu Yan came in, and he was still lying like this.

Lu Yan pulled out a chair, sat on it, and poured a glass of water for himself and Sima Yi.

Sima Yi stood respectfully behind Lu Yan, looking at Xu Sheng who was lying on the bed with great interest.

According to Sima Yi's knowledge, Lu Yan has the ability to recognize people that surpasses everyone in the world today. As long as the people he values, whether they are literati or generals, they are at least one in a thousand talents.

Lu Yan was able to personally persuade this person to surrender. It seems that this person at least has the potential to become a famous general!

Lu Yan took a sip of water and asked casually, "Xu Sheng and Xu Wenxiang, are you willing to surrender?"

Xu Sheng sneered when he heard this, then turned his back to Lu Yan, pretending to go to sleep.

"Are you only in your twenties now? Are you willing to sacrifice at such a young age?"

Xu Sheng's body froze slightly, nonsense, who would want to die young!

But such a thing as surrender, if it is not done well, it will be a stain on his life, and the extremely disgusting reputation of betraying the Lord and begging for glory may follow him for the rest of his life.

But if he really died like this, Xu Sheng would really not be reconciled!
He has only been an official for a few years, and his career has just begun to have a hope. If he dies before his ambition is fulfilled, he will not be reconciled!
You know, Xu Sheng is only in his 20s!
Although Sun Quan said he was kind to him, but it was not to the point where Xu Sheng must die for Sun Quan.

Sima Yi saw Xu Sheng's slight trembling, and he knew that this guy was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
