The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 363 Battle of the Water Army
"What! A million troops are going down to Jiangdong!
Sun Quan asked himself that his temperament was also extraordinary, even if he was not far behind Wei Tao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, but he was so shocked that he almost jumped up when he heard the news.

It's no wonder that Sun Quan was not calm. The total population of Jiangdong today is only a few million people. This is the addition of men, women, old and young.

With Wei Tao in this world, the wars in the north became more intense, but the same was also more rapid unification, so the number of northerners who went down to Jiangdong was much less, and Jiangdong itself was not peaceful, and wanted to develop Population is not something that happens overnight, but it is normal that there are only such a few people.

"My lord, don't worry! My lord, don't worry!"

Fortunately, at this moment, Lu Su hurriedly said.

"My lord, Wei Tao said that it is possible to have a million troops, but to defend the north, guard against Cao Cao, and even fight Liu Bei in Liangzhou, although there are so many troops, they are no different from Jiangdong. How could it be possible for such a large army to come down with a heart-to-skin hatred?"

After hearing Lu Su's persuasion, Sun Quan finally calmed down slightly, watching Lu Su say so.

"Since this is the case, what did Wei Tao do? Could it be for my land in Yangzhou?"

Yangzhou is located on the border with Cao Cao, not Wei Tao, but since Wei Tao's goal is not Jiangdong, Sun Quan can only think of Yangzhou.

I have to say that compared with Wei Tao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, Sun Quan is still a little less courageous.

In fact, this is also the case in history. Before the Battle of Chibi, although Sun Quan did not want to be a man who lost his family, he hesitated again and again in the face of Cao Cao's persuasion.

But this time is a little different. Although Sun Quan is not very courageous, not long ago Wei Tao insulted his ancestors in order to lure him out of the city.

What's more, Sun Quan is also considered a hero, how could he be a courageous person?
So without waiting for Lu Su's answer, he just shook his head slightly to deny this answer, then sat down again, looked at Lu Su and asked.

"Zijing, what did Wei Tao do?"

"My lord, one of them is to test and intimidate our army! Once Jiang Xia retreated, my lord also knew that many people in my Jiangdong were already afraid of the name of the general. Now that Wei Tao came here with an order, these people are already There is panic, and even the intention to take refuge in the general. At that time, they will still be called Jiangdong courtiers, but when the time comes, the lord will only have one car and two or three servants. The real loser will be the lord, not the Jiangdong courtiers. !"

Lu Su clasped his hands and said bluntly. Sun Quan's face turned livid even though he didn't speak when he heard this.

Sun Quan knew the mind and strength of the Jiangdong clan very well. They could indeed do this, and once they really did, Jiangdong would definitely be enshrined unless there was a bloody suppression.

"Secondly, since Wei Tao broke the covenant with our army to capture Jiangxia, he will have to fight alone in the future, facing our army, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's encirclement alone. If the three parties move together, even Wei Tao cannot easily win Victory. And taking advantage of the new defeat of our army at this time, it is because we are afraid that the current force will force our navy to compete with it, which can break the morale of our army, and at the same time, its navy cruises day and night, and the Yangtze River's natural moat will be used for it!"

Lu Su said slowly, upon hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Quan couldn't help but nodded slightly.

It has to be said that Lu Su did have a plan, but in the end it was counted by Wei Tao and Zhou Yu. It was confirmed that Wei Tao was substituting offense for defense, but he did not think that Wei Tao actually had the intention of going to Jiangdong.

"Zijing, what should we do now?"

After confirming that Wei Tao was not leading the troops, Sun Quan was certain in his heart, and after a little thought, he nodded and asked.

"Then Wei Tao dared to look down on me, Jiangdong, absolutely unforgivable! Zijing, can our army fight back now?"

Sun Quan didn't wait for Lu Su's answer at all, he had actually set the tone, but Lu Su obviously agreed with this very much, after hearing Sun Quan's words, Lu Su immediately nodded slightly and said.

"My lord's words are not bad. Since Wei Tao dared to do such a thing, he obviously didn't take our army seriously. If he shouldn't, I'm afraid that Wei Tao would really make progress. He really went south to Jiangdong. When the time comes It’s bound to be unstoppable.”

"What Zijing said is not bad, so what should I do now?"

Hearing that Lu Su was of one mind with him, Sun Quan's heart immediately became certain. With Lu Su's support, Sun Quan would not have so many troubles.

"My lord, you should first set Jiangdong's heart, let the Jiangdong clan understand Wei Tao's sinister intentions, and then send troops to fight against Wei Tao. Even though Wei Tao was able to defeat our army before, the northerners rode and the southerners rode. Sailing the boat, can the water army under Wei Tao's command be compared with our army?"

Lu Su's words revealed infinite confidence, in fact, Sun Quan heard the same.

"Okay! You have Zijing to help me, so why worry about a major failure?"

In fact, what Lu Su said was true. After the news came, many people from the big clan had the heart to surrender. Anyway, for them, who is not helping each other?

Since these aristocratic families have intentions, they will naturally come to persuade Sun Quan to surrender.

Coupled with Sun Quan's new defeat before, he couldn't help but feel a little weak when facing these people. If he hadn't made up his mind early, I'm afraid he would have been persuaded.

Compared with the history, Huang Gai and other old officials are no longer there, and the new Xu Sheng was captured by Wei Tao. The most powerful people in Jiangdong are those from the rich Jiangdong clan. Almost all Jiangdong officials are from the big Jiangdong clan.

If it weren't for Lu Su's presence, with Lu Su's prestige in the army and Sun Quan's determination, I'm afraid the final result would be hard to say.

But in the end, the determination of the Jiangdong families was unified, and the Jiangdong navy finally began to step up its defenses on the Yangtze River, and Lu Su was also appointed by Sun Quan as the commander of the navy, responsible for the Jiangdong navy.

At this time, Wei Tao has already re-established the Jiangxia water village, and can go down the river to attack Jiangdong at any time.

Although it was inconvenient to transmit information between the two rivers, the fact that Lu Su served as the governor of the navy and led the Jiangdong navy quickly spread to Wei Tao's ears.

Upon hearing the news, Wei Tao and Zhou Yu understood that their plan had indeed come true. The Jiangdong Army already believed that Wei Tao was using offense instead of defense. If not, Sun Quan, who was against Wei Tao before, had no reason to give up this time. leader.

The only possibility is that Sun Quan also didn't think of Wei Tao's real purpose this time.

Wei Tao's series of actions has already confused Jiang Dong.

In fact, it is more than just confusing Jiangdong. If it is known that Wei Tao intends to take Jiangdong in this battle, no matter how small the possibility is, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will definitely take action behind Wei Tao.

But at this time, there was no such news.

"My lord, you should fight it yourself."

After confirming that everything was ready, Zhou Yu immediately told Wei Tao about it.

For this battle, Wei Tao had already set a strategy before, and naturally it was impossible to change it.

As for the first battle, no matter from what point of view, Wei Tao, who had put down his rhetoric, naturally wanted to lead the army in person.

It is not that Wei Tao has never led a navy fleet, but on this navy, it is different from the land. Between the boats, looking around, there are countless ships escorting the march, but it gives Wei Tao a feeling that the overall situation is in control .

Wei Tao made such a move, although the news transmission on the water was not as convenient as that on land, but this was in Jiangdong, and for the Jiangdong army, it was easy to know that Wei Tao's movements were all controlled by the other party, so As soon as he moved, Lu Su naturally knew it, and immediately led the troops to fight.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

The sky-shattering drums sounded again, and the big drums stood tall on the bows of countless ships, which was quite imposing.

Wei Tao habitually wanted to go forward, but only then did he realize that on this big river, even if the fleet is facing each other, it is not as convenient as on land. If Wei Tao wants to order his flagship to go forward, it will be very difficult. It may be to disrupt one's own side.

After all, the ship was still affected by the water force when it was on the water, and Wei Tao really couldn't command it arbitrarily.

And on this water, it is not easy to even have a conversation, after all, the two armies are far apart, so it is naturally impossible to talk through the air.

"Gongjin, it seems that you really need to command this time."

Wei Tao smiled wryly, and looked at Zhou Yu who was beside him, but at this time Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.

"My lord, on this big river, if I command the overall situation, it is naturally not a problem for me, but if you want to rely on ships to fight against each other, then it must be General Gan Ning. No matter what I do, it is difficult for me to command in front of the battle."

Wei Tao nodded slightly, and didn't say much, the navy battle had obviously higher requirements for temporary command, Wei Tao immediately turned his head to look at Gan Ning.

"Xingba, are you confident?"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!"

Gan Ning immediately took a step forward and said, seeing Wei Tao nodded slightly, and said just that.

"In this case, then I will order you to lead my vanguard fleet into action. The first battle between these two armies must not be defeated."

"promise!"

After Gan Ning got the order, he immediately sailed up in a small boat. After boarding the vanguard ship, he immediately ordered the vanguard fleet to go out with flags.

"Gan Ningguo is a general. Although I don't understand the strategy of the navy, I also know that it is most difficult to maintain the formation when sailing on the river. But our navy can maintain the formation and move forward. This is the merit of Gan Xingba!"

Seeing that his vanguard fleet was faintly forming a formation during the operation, and there was a subtle connection between them, Wei Tao couldn't help but praise.

However, at this moment, a team of Jiangdong ships came out of the formation, and the imposing formation was also not bad to meet Gan Ning.
