Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 506 Taizhou
Gan Ning said displeased: "In that case, what's the use of me waiting here to talk?" Gan Xingba has always been hot-tempered, if he didn't see Deng Ai as Zhou Cang's student, he would scold him for his views.

"It's empty talk, and fighting lightly without analyzing and demonstrating is the way to win." Deng Ai's face flushed.

"Discussion, discussion, everyone expresses their own opinions, there is no right or wrong, learn from each other's strengths." Zhou Cang knocked on the table, "Yuanfang, what do you think?"

"What Bo Yan said is reasonable. Deng Ai thinks that Cao Cao will not use troops lightly, and I agree; Xingba does not want to sit idly by, which is reasonable and reasonable." Zhou Wen turned to say: "Therefore, I think Cao Cao is very powerful. With my current military strength in Xuzhou Attacking Cao has almost no chance of winning. If I can take Jiangdong, great things will happen."

Lu Xun was silent.Deng Ai clapped his hands and said: "Jiangdong's heavy troops will be stationed in Xiangyang, and General Xingba's navy can go south."

Gan Ning's complexion immediately changed: "That's right. My lord gives me a team, and I will definitely bring the leader of Sun Quan to offer."

Zhou Cang laughed and said: "How many people does Xingba think that he can take Jiangdong?"

"Twenty thousand sailors, thirty thousand infantry, fifty thousand is enough."

"Fifty thousand?" Lu Xun laughed and said, "How many troops are there in Xuzhou? What if Cao Cao comes to take Xuzhou? Is it possible to transfer troops from Liaodong? If Cao Cao sends troops from Liaodong, what will we do?"

Liaodong is the foundation of Zhou Cang, and there must be no mistakes.The shortcomings of the long front line and scattered troops have emerged. If one loses sight of the other, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall is courting death.

"In your opinion, if you don't destroy Cao Cao, you can't take Soochow?" Gan Ning's anger flared up again. "Yuan Fang, tell me."

Zhou Wen pursed his lips and smiled, "Why is Xingba so blazing? Sending troops to Jiangdong is not annihilation in one fell swoop. I remember my lord said that there is a country named Wa country in the north overseas, and Ryukyu country in the south. Wa country has been destroyed by Xingba, and there is no other country in the north." Worry. For many years, the commercial firm has been doing business with Jiangdong, and has already found out where Ryukyu is. Jianping, Houguan five counties, and the establishment of the southern Duwei Mansion in Jian'an County, which belongs to Kuaiji County."

"What's the use of saying this?"

Zhou Wen said self-consciously: "Southern Captain He Qi was born in a big family in Kuaiji, and now he is a mighty Zhonglang general stationed here, and Ryukyu is not far to the southeast..."

Gan Ning suddenly realized: "Yuanfang means to take Ryukyu first? It's like Ludao Island in Yingzhou, gather troops here and send troops to Kuaiji, and then attack from north to south?"

"Exactly. When Xingba returned to Xuzhou, he could claim that he was getting married. Then Xingba sent troops to Ryukyu. Others thought that Xingba was returning to Jeju and didn't build a dike. The situation is swift and violent, and the enemy in the north and south of Jiangdong is about to be broken. Even if it was too late for Cao Cao to get the news, Jiangdong was already in my pocket. At that time, Xingba was stationed in the Yangtze River. Who would dare to offend? Solid as gold."

"Wonderful!" Gan Ning's eyes sparkled with excitement, my brocade sails are all over the South China Sea and the North Sea, who can match it since ancient times?
Lu Xun was terrified when he heard that, he didn't expect that Zhou Cang had already laid out such a big game of chess, and all the pieces were in Zhou Cang's eyes.He looked at Zhou Wen again. This wretched old man is not simple. Is he really from the Zhou family?I heard that there are Zhou Chong and Zhou Xi, one in Liaodong and the other in Yingzhou. They are both great figures in Xuzhou, but they are not known to outsiders. Why have they never heard of the Zhou family before.

"Yuanfang's plan is exactly what I want." Zhou Cang said, "Xingba, you and Wen Xiang will go to Jiangling to find out the waterway to Ryukyu. Ah, no, Ryukyu will be called Taizhou in the future. Remember, don't disturb Jiangdong. Besides, the south sea area is different from the north, you need to be familiar with the wind direction and tide, so I don’t need to ask you any more.”

"Yes, I'm going to prepare now."

"Wait! Taizhou is different from Yingzhou. It is smaller than the main island, and most of the island is aboriginal, just use it as a pedal, so as long as the seaport and water villages are built along the coast, there is no need to rush in. In addition, Ding Feng told Wei Xu The first battalion will be trained at sea, then I will send Liao Hua to replace Wei Xu, and Wei Xu will follow you to Taizhou." Zhou Cang said solemnly: "What I said today is classified as top secret, and you know what to do. Besides, Bo Yan In the name of the Chief of Staff, we allocated food and grass from the Department of Finance and Taxation to Jiangling, saying it was to support Jeju."

Zhou Wen added: "Xing Ba, don't underestimate He Qi. This man is brave and good at fighting. He has made many military exploits and is highly valued by Sun Quan. In addition, he is extravagant by nature, but he is mostly used for equipment. His soldiers are extremely sophisticated and his boats are luxurious. Extremely."

Gan Ning smiled: "If you say excellent, I haven't seen any sailors who surpass me." This is not Gan Ning's big talk. Gan Ning has money but not a lot of money. He put all the money into soldiers and warships.Nearly half of the weapons and arrows made by Liaodong were confiscated by him. "If he is too weak, he will be boring, my lord, don't worry."

Besides, Lu Su, Yu Fan and others rushed back to Wu County and presented Zhou Yu's suicide note. After reading it, Sun Quan said, "How can Gong Jin's last words be disobeyed?"

Lu Su went on to talk about Zhuge Liang's suggestion. "My lord, at this time, Cao thief must not feel that there is a gap between me and Liu Bei." Sun Quan nodded in agreement, and immediately sent someone to make a statement.

"You can't be without a commander for a day in the army. General Cheng is old. Zijing can succeed the post of governor and station troops in Jiangling. Let Lu Meng guard Xiangyang, and Zijing will tell Ziming to read more books for me. Although I am busy with official duties I also take time out to study every day, which is very beneficial. Alas, General Huang has been bedridden, and my Jiangdong veteran is running out. General Cheng, go back to Wu County to recuperate."

"My lord has high hopes, and Lu Su will not hesitate to do so." Knowing that this is not the time for modesty and concessions, Lu Su readily accepted the position of governor. "What about Xuzhou?"

"Zishan, you were sent to Xuzhou as an envoy, so you can go to see Zhou Weiguo again and tell him that I would like to befriend him."

Bu Zhi was delighted, "My lord, I have a request, I don't know whether to accept it or not? Last time I went to Xuzhou, I saw that Zhou Cang had a disciple who was Deng Ai, and Zhou Cang regarded him very highly. There was a daughter under his command who was about the same age as Deng Ai. I would like Married to her..."

"Yes." Sun Quan nodded and said, "You can see Brother Boyan again, and ask him to speak kindly to help the two families get along."

"Zhongxiang went to Wuling to meet Liu Bei and tell him what I want." Sun Quan said to Yu Fan, "You must meet Liu Qi this time, find out Liu Qi's tone, and tell him that Huang Zu is dead. The hatred is gone, I am willing to help him truly become the Lord of Jingzhou!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhuge Jin again, and continued: "Zhongxiang needs to be careful of Zhuge Kongming, don't let him know."
