God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1064 Cautious Zhang Ren

……

Liu Tong still knew nothing about things in the north, so naturally he didn't care too much about them.

During his spare time while sleeping, he further placed his focus and attention on Quotes from the Strong and Zhang Ren.

In particular, the ships sailed up the Yangtze River safely and passed through the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River safely.

Through the eyes of Neiqi Tuanzi, we can further understand the two sides of the Yangtze River, appreciate the changes and understand the conditions.

Lu Jun looked at the water villages along the Yangtze River and felt a little surprised in his heart.

Whether it was Zhou Yu or Liu Biao, their investment in the navy was quite large.

Liu Biao had the advantage of moving first, but because Jingzhou's naval forces were basically monopolized by the Cai family and Zhang family, they had not been expanded for a long time and lacked sufficient reserve forces.

When facing Zhou Yu, a rising star who was greatly expanding his army and building ships, he did not show a crushing attitude like he did at the beginning.

On the contrary, as the navy battle continues, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides have reversed.

Cai Mao, who controlled the Jingzhou navy, had gradually felt Zhou Yu's pressure on him, but faced this difficulty and dilemma.

Not only did Cai Mao fail to report it, but he covered it up.

Because once this kind of thing is reported, it means that Liu Biao has sufficient reasons to officially join the Jingzhou Navy, which will seriously threaten his dominance among the Jingzhou Navy.

Even if the two are in-laws, Cai Mao must avoid this possibility.

However, Cai Mao also has his own self-confidence. After all, the navy is different from the army, and the gap in military strength cannot determine everything.

A naval force that has taken several years or even decades to build may be completely wiped out in a large-scale battle.

Almost every naval battle is a grand gamble. In this regard, Cai Mao is quite self-aware.

The large number has little to do with the actual combat effectiveness and the final outcome.

If you're lucky, you'll get it in one pot, but if you're not lucky, it all depends on your personal ability.

Water battles compete not only on the strength of the ships and military skills of both sides, but also on luck and geographical advantages!
Obviously, occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, he has full advantage in geographical advantages. The ships under his command have also been tempered for a long time and are of extremely high quality. The soldiers in his hands have been trained for a long time and are skilled in water warfare.

It is precisely because of this that it can bring him victory after victory. Even if the subsequent victories become more and more difficult, Cai Hao still does not think there is a big problem.

Instead, he confidently suppressed the battle report and waited for the opportunity later to take Zhou Yu away in one wave...

The naval camps of Cai Mao and Zhou Yu were far apart, with the Yangtze River channel in the middle, and they were stationed in the upstream and downstream respectively.

This also led to Lu Jun taking Zhang Ren and others to see Zhou Yu's navy camp first.

Of course, it was precisely because they were heading up from the lower reaches and had high flags to show their identity that they were not intercepted or hindered by Zhou Yu's fleet.

For these soldiers, who guarded the Yangtze River day and night, they did not believe that Cai Mao would have ships running from their upper reaches to their lower reaches.So when it passed, it was quite smooth.

However, this situation was reversed when we were about to arrive at Jingzhou Water Village.

Any ship traveling from downstream to upstream is within the warning range of the Jingzhou navy, because Zhou Yu's navy camp is located on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, posing a threat to them all the time and seriously threatening their safety.

Therefore, even though it was a merchant ship on the surface, the Jingzhou Navy still maintained a high degree of vigilance, but did not directly board the ship to search and inspect it. They just kept looking for the ship to avoid it getting close to the Jingzhou Navy camp.

Seeing that the final result was like this, Lu Jun glanced at Zhang Ren with relief and nodded happily.

Sure enough, it was just as I imagined. One army was motivated by confidence in its own strength, while the other army was motivated to avoid greater damage, so they avoided wherever they could, unless there was no way out. You can retreat, otherwise it will be difficult to fight to the death...

Even in the face of possible unexpected factors, we are much less vigilant than we should be.

"General Zhang, from your perspective, what is the comparison between the Jingzhou Navy and Zhou Yu's Navy?" Lu Jun looked at the Jingzhou Navy camp gradually disappearing between the mountains, and turned to face Cautiously, Zhang Ren, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, asked.

"Maybe their mentality is different." Zhang Ren recalled what he had seen before, finally nodded, and said directly, "Zhou Yu's navy is more energetic, as if it is not affected by the failure, and feels more impactful As for the Jingzhou navy, it can only be said to be quite stable, so stable that it feels a bit conservative..."

If you are on land, out of caution, when setting up camp, even if there are merchants passing by, you should simply ask and search them to ensure your own safety.

Of course, more people will basically kill such behavior directly, thereby ensuring their own military secrets, and by the way, they can also harvest the merchant's goods.

But now on the Yangtze River, facing merchant ships like theirs with flags flying, the Jingzhou navy actually let them pass without even asking.

If we put some troops in the ship and go upstream with weapons, we can implement the tactic of flanking and flanking.

At that time, one side will attack from the land, and the other side will attack from the water of the Yangtze River.

No matter how well the Jingzhou naval camp is built, it cannot withstand such an attack.

When the time comes, the ships will be blocked in the naval camp and the water battle will be directly changed to a land battle. The outcome will be clear at a glance.

"Is this what General Zhang actually thinks? He is so cautious." Lu Jun looked at Zhang Ren curiously.

How did such a cautious general become the archangel in the chat group?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it.

"Soldiers, as a matter of national importance, we must be cautious. I can't afford to completely bury the army due to a moment of recklessness, thereby ruining the country's destiny..." Zhang Ren thought about the military books he had read, and said rather cautiously. .

The more soldiers you bring, the greater the pressure you will bear.

If it were a nationwide effort, the pressure would be even more outrageous. One battle would simply determine the fate of the country.

There is never a sure-win situation in wars. If something unexpected happens, the country will basically be gone.

If he really met such a general, Zhang Ren felt that he could vomit blood, and the country would not be far from being finished.

So be cautious. The results may not be so good, but at least you will not die so quickly. After all, war is not only responsible for individuals, but also for the country...
