Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 875

Gan Ning stroked his beard and sighed, "A true general."

"Xingba don't want to joke with me, our Lan family started from Qingping, what kind of general is there?" Lan Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Haha, it will be in the future." Gan Ning responded with a smile.

Lan Tian looked at the river noncommittally. Fighting on water was different from fighting on land. After the rain of arrows was suppressed, it was a hand-to-hand fight to seize the ship. Because there was no land, they would dive into the water. Therefore, people with quick hands and feet had the greatest advantage, but heavy armored soldiers were not suitable.

Gan Ning's direct descendants came from Jinfan bandits. They are all strong and agile, wearing light leather armor and holding a variety of weapons. They don't look like regular soldiers, but they are very eye-catching when robbing ships. Fix Wu Jun's ships, and then climb and jump like apes.

As time went by, the Wu army was persuaded to surrender on the way, but was persuaded to surrender. Gan Ning commanded battleships to form formations during the battle, like cavalry on land, forcibly cutting Wu's ships. Prevent Lu Xun's orders from reaching the front line.

An hour after the battle started on the river, the sun slowly sank into the river west of the Yangtze River, and the battlefield situation gradually became one-sided.

"Governor, the situation doesn't seem to be good." Sun Quan came to Lu Xun with a serious face.

Lu Xun, sweating profusely, clasped his fists and replied, "Jingzhou's navy is not comparable to Wei's navy. Although our soldiers are fighting hard, the gap between the ships is quite obvious."

Sun Quan looked at the sky and reminded: "The sky is about to darken. Gu just asked Hu Zong to send a boat to the south bank. The Jianye garrison also saw the battle on the Yangtze River. There are already troops waiting by the river. We seem to be at a disadvantage."

"But if we back down now, Jianye will be taken over by Lantian, and we can only fight for one soldier and one soldier. We hope that the enemy army is not used to it at night."

Lu Xun knew that there was no way out now, and the worst outcome would be to die with Lu Fan, but retreating was tantamount to admitting defeat to Lantian, and he would never be able to regain his morale again.

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and remained silent. Master Sima reminded him: "The situation may get worse at night. Jianye has already sent people to the riverside to meet him. If all the remaining soldiers in the east of the river are buried in the Yangtze River, the king will have nothing. Why don't we take advantage of the small losses to survive? The reinforcements from Wujun and Kuaiji have not arrived yet."

Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said, "My son-in-law doesn't know that Jiangdong's ships are almost all here. Wujun and Kuaiji are basically infantry. How can they defeat the enemy army? If they can't stop the opponent at this time, Wuhui and other places will sooner or later If it falls, we will have no place to stand."

"Actually." Sima Shi wanted to speak, but quickly shut up.

Sun Quan looked at the two of them, and said that Lu Xun was worried about Jianye's family members. At this time, the situation was in chaos, and it would be dangerous to continue to command, but Sima Shi seemed to have a good opinion.

"There are more than tens of thousands of officials in Jianye? If Lan Tian takes over this, how long does the governor think it will take him to stabilize? How many soldiers and horses do he need to stay to garrison? The orders of the lonely King Qin have been sent to various places. I believe that Danyang, Wu, Will wait and send troops as soon as possible, when the county soldiers take time off and the mountains are in chaos, can Lantian, the Yangzhou shepherd, be able to sit still?" Sun Quan implied that he wanted to retreat, saying that you Jiangdong gentry are difficult enough to deal with, and I don't believe that Lantian can straighten things out quickly.

"This will cause chaos in Yangzhou, which is not good for us. What will the people of Jiangdong think of us in the future?" Lu Xun still regarded himself as the master of Yangzhou.

Sun Quan clenched his fists and reprimanded him coldly: "Governor, you are confused. If Lantian hadn't blatantly invaded, would there have been such a big mess in Yangzhou? All this is the fault of Liu Xuande and Lantian. Besides, Liu Bei had been displaced for the first half of his life. Like Cao Pi, who ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Gu will not easily admit defeat."

"Then now" Lu Xun was speechless. The first half of Liu Bei's life was in turmoil, so he had the opportunity to accumulate strength. Now that the three-legged confrontation is about to be broken, why not give up easily?Without Jiangdong, where can we gain a foothold?
"As Marquis Wen said, I cut off my tail to survive. Try to retreat to Jiangcheng with large ships, and use small ships to hold back Gan Ning's main force. Fortunately, the sky is already dark, and Lantian should not continue to pursue. Let's go smoothly. It can be withdrawn quickly," Sun Quan urged.

"Wei." Lu Xun could only accept the order.

"Marquis Wen, go back to the cabin with Gu." Sun Quan ordered Sima Shi.

"Yes, adoptive father." Master Sima nodded and clasped his fists.

Lu Xun followed the commanding ship to retreat, and the Yangtze River water battle, which lasted for more than an hour, ended anticlimactically.

Master Sima followed Sun Quan back to the cabin, Sun Quan motioned for him to sit down, and then asked meaningfully: "I was outside just now, I saw that Marquis Wen seemed to have something to say, can you tell your adoptive father?"

"Ahem. Foster father, my son has an immature idea. If Jiangdong really cannot be kept, why don't we go north to Liaodong?" Sima Shi proposed a bold idea.

"Liaodong? It's too far from south to north, isn't it? Besides, Gongsun's family has lived there for many years, and you let your adoptive father live under the fence?" Sun Quan looked at Master Sima in disbelief.

Master Sima shook his head and said: "A few days ago, the horse dealers in the north came back, and my son had learned about the situation in Liaodong. The garrison there was actually only [-] to [-] troops. Wei Guo did not send troops to conquer for a long time. The first reason is that it is inconvenient to supply supplies due to the long distance. , The second is because Sun Liu continued to fight Wei in the Central Plains.

If we take the remaining elite soldiers from Jiangdong to the north, bypass Liaodong by sea and land directly, the Gongsun family may not be able to stop it. At that time, we will swallow Liaodong first, then gather the surrounding aliens, and then recharge our batteries and wait for Liu Bei and Cao Pi to fight each other. The vitality of the two families was seriously injured, and the adoptive father led an army of water and land to go south to clean up the mess, and at the last time he was able to occupy half of the country. "

Although Sima Shi's idea was bold, it rekindled Sun Quan's passion that had been dormant for a long time. He said in his heart that Marquis Wu really deserved his reputation.

"Gongsun Gong has a cowardly character, and he also made friends with me by writing books. In addition, the north is rich in horses, and the single-minded cavalry should be able to form a large number, but the climate in Liaodong is colder." Sun Quan hesitated.

"The so-called heaven will send a great mission to the people, it must first." Sima Shi stopped in the middle of speaking, because he found that Sun Quan's gaze gradually became firmer.

"Gu is in his prime, and he is not the one who seeks pleasure. Father-in-law should think about it carefully." Although Sun Quan loves to play tricks, he is a descendant of Sun Jian after all, and the wildness in his blood always exists. He said in his heart that he is two years younger than Lan Tian. At the age of three, he still has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, so he may not be able to make a name for himself in Liaodong.

The reason why Sima Shi was able to think wildly was mainly because he had nothing now, so he could go to Wu Jun and take Sun Luban with him for a "go and go trip". It was not easy for Sun Quan to give up the wealth in front of him, but at this moment Facing the tremendous pressure from Lantian, instead of being defeated and humiliated, it is better to go to Liaodong and start again.

The building boat Feiyun was originally lying across the river, leaving a five-story wide attack surface, but suddenly turned the rudder and turned the bow, which caught Lan Tian and Gan Ning unexpectedly. Following Feiyun's sails and sailing away to the east, the Yangtze River water battle began. Slowly start to finish.

Gan Ning left some of the ships to finish off, and the rest of the warships approached the south bank one after another. An old man stood by the torch and waited at the pier. When he saw the Soochow warship retreating in disgrace, his suspended heart finally calmed down. .

Jiangdong is settled.
