The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 475
"Lu Ji is incompetent, mistaken Jiangdong for me!"

The news of the annihilation of the Jiangdong Navy finally came back, and it came back from Liu Bei. None of the Jiangdong Navy escaped back. At first, Sun Quan didn't believe it, but after a while, Sun Quan had to believe it, because his Jiangdong Navy There has been no news, and it has been swallowed by the sea.

"Send a letter to uncle, and arrest Lu's family." The furious Sun Quan prepared to implicate Lu Ji's family to relieve his hatred.

"No." Zhang Hong immediately objected: "My lord, the Lu family is a big clan in Jiangdong, with a very high reputation, so don't move lightly, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of other big clans. If so, everyone in Jiangdong is in danger, so why do you want to work for the lord?"

"Of course, my lord..."

Sun Quan's order was not sent out, and there were too many people who opposed it. The Lu family has been in Jiangdong for so long, and the relationship network is spread everywhere. Moreover, as a family, other families will watch the Lu family be destroyed by those in power.

If the Lu family is destroyed, it will be difficult for other families to escape if they make mistakes in the future. Therefore, regardless of whether they are related to the Lu family or not, they will stand up to protect the Lu family. To protect the Lu family is to protect their own family.

Seeing the rare concerted efforts of the people below, Sun Quan felt uncomfortable for a while, but he had no choice but to support him here. Without these people, he, Sun Quan, would not be able to control Jiangdong.

"Jiangdong's navy is completely wiped out, and Liu Bei is invincible above the sea, but the coast of Jiangdong is empty, so we must guard against it. Do you have a clever plan?" Sun Quan had to change the subject, and the question of guilt was left alone.

"My lord." Zhang Hong stood up and said, "The coast of Jiangdong stretches for thousands of miles. If it means defense, it is really difficult. If there is no navy, Liu Bei's navy cannot resist Jiangdong from the sea. It is the best policy to ask my lord to rebuild the Jiangdong navy."

Jiangdong shipping has already started. Since Jiangdong established the navy, shipping has not stopped, because the navy is in the hands of the Jiangdong clan. They know the advantages and benefits of shipping. As the Jiangdong clan, how are they willing to give up such a large benefit.

"It's not easy." Sun Quan said weakly: "Building a navy requires powerful sea-going ships, and Liu Bei has mastered the art of building sea-going ships. Although Jiangdong can build sea-going ships, they are all small boats. The warships of Liu Bei's navy are no match. It's useless, it's a waste of money."

"This..." They are all smart people. What Sun Quan said is the truth. Without powerful warships, no matter how many small boats are built, they will be sent out as cannon fodder. They cannot compete with Liu Bei's navy at all.

"My lord, the governor of the capital has been attacking for a long time without success, and he is quite useless. Why not withdraw the troops? My lord can use this as a bargaining chip to let Liu Bei send warships. If you can get the skill of making warships, it will be the best strategy." Zhang Zhao made a suggestion, making Sun Quan's eyes roll Liang, this is indeed a good idea.

"Now that Liu Bei is besieged on all sides, if he can get the governor to withdraw his army, he should answer the request of the lord. If he doesn't agree, the lord just pretends to have served in Xuzhou and played the banner of revenge for the navy. How dare Liu Bei not allow it?" Zhang Hong also offered advice.

"Very good!" Sun Quan was overjoyed after hearing this, and he wanted to send people to Linzi to negotiate with Liu Bei. As long as he could rebuild the navy and protect the Jiangdong waters, he could continue to expand southward with peace of mind.

"My lord, the governor of the capital sent a messenger to deliver the letter." Sun Quan, who was on Zhengxing's head, immediately turned pale when he heard the letter. After reading Zhou Yu's letter indifferently, he sighed secretly, and did not want to send someone to Linzi anymore. Regarding the matter, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were left to discuss alone.

"The governor's letter said that Liu Bei sent his prime minister, Chen Ziming, to attack Cao Cao's food road unexpectedly after receiving a secret report, which blocked Cao Cao's northern expedition. Zhou Yu and other places, and Liu Bei mobilized food and grass from all walks of life, it is very likely that he will attack Cao Cao in the front, let me make plans early." Sun Quan simply told Er Zhang what Zhou Yu said in the letter, and wanted to see what Er Zhang had. What opinion.

"I don't want Liu Bei to recover so quickly, Jiangdong is in danger." Zhang Hong originally thought that after this battle, Liu Bei would definitely be defeated by Cao Cao.

"My lord, a few days ago, although Liu Bei was passive, his strength was still there, and he was not damaged at all. At this time, there is enough food and grass, and Cao Cao is his opponent. If Liu Bei destroys Cao, Liu Bei's family will be the only one in the north. Only Jiangdong soldiers I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop Liu Bei's army of millions." Zhang Zhao's voice was low, and it could be seen that he was not very optimistic about the current situation.

"What should I do with Jiangdong?" Sun Quan looked at Erzhang, hoping to get a strategy that would be beneficial to Jiangdong, instead of listening to Erzhang's sad words here.

"This..." Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao didn't know what to say for a while. In fact, they all had an idea in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, because this idea was beneficial to their Jiangdong family, but it was absolutely necessary for Sun Quan. He and the Sun family are absolutely doomed, and this is also the way their family has passed down from generation to generation.

"The victory of Cao and Liu has not yet been decided. Why should the lord be in a hurry? It is better to rectify the army and wait for the changes." Finally, Zhang Hong came up with a plan to provide for the elderly and wait for death. Sun Quan waved his hands in disappointment and let the two leave.

"Between life and death, who can be trusted?" After everyone left, Sun Quan thought to himself. As the person in power in Jiangdong, he knew many things, but he was helpless. It depends on the faces of those big clans.

"Uncle, the governor sent you three strategies, how should I choose?" On the surface, Sun Quan trusts Erzhang very much, and discusses many things with Erzhang, but what many people don't know is that the one Sun Quan trusts the most is that he single-handedly promoted him. There are also a few veterans left behind by his father, such as Han Dang, who has always supported him.

For example, now, Sun Quan did not let Er Zhang know that Zhou Yu not only sent an analysis of the current world situation, but also mentioned his own views and strategies for Sun Quan.

"Liu Bei is powerful and has millions of mercenaries. He is invincible. We should avoid his edge. This plan is not an option."

"Cao Cao and Liu Bei are now fighting hard, and it is difficult to tell the winner. If Jiangdong attacks and wins Jingzhou, Cao Cao will definitely lose to Liu Bei because of the enemy. Liu Bei will rule the north, and Jiangdong is in danger, and it is not advisable."

"The road to Yizhou is difficult, but Liu Zhang is not the capital of a hero. He only owns such a good land. He should take it. Moreover, the army of Yizhou attacked Hanzhong and the rear was empty. If the young general took advantage of this opportunity and sent troops quickly, he would be defeated in one battle. , If you win Yizhou, you can let Jiangdong advance and attack, retreat and defend, and you will not be afraid of Cao and Liu."

Han Dang was loyal to the Sun family. Even if Sun Jian and Sun Ce died, he would still stick to the Sun family. When Sun Quan asked advice, he unreservedly supported Sun Quan.

"What my uncle said is true. The governor also supports me in capturing Yizhou. However, Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Who can take command?" Leading troops to attack Yizhou is not so easy, otherwise Liu Zhang would not live so long.
