Sun Quan was in a good mood these two days. Zhu Ran took the initiative to defeat the Cao Wei navy and obtained two new warships. The fear of the ghost ships by the Wu army was wiped out, and his morale was once again excited. For Sun Quan, the haze that shrouded in his heart was also wiped out with this victory. Zhu Ran's victory was enough to prove that the advantage of the water battle was still in the hands of the Wu Kingdom. Even if Wei had a new warship, his overall strength was still far from that of the Wu Kingdom.

Sun Quan said to Zhuge Ke and others around him with emotion: "Lu Boyan is right. Several powerful warships are not enough to affect the entire situation. You see, have the Wei army's navy still been defeated by us? We will have new warships soon."

Zhuge Ke and others were also very happy. The new warship technology was obtained, and the Wu people's advantage in water warfare was maintained, and the Shu Kingdom's idea of ​​using warship technology to force the Wu people to bow their heads was naturally lost. From now on, the Wu Kingdom can wander between Wei and Shu, without being blackmailed by anyone, and can firmly grasp the initiative.

While Sun Quan was happy, he felt that it was not enough. He invited Fei Yi and proudly showed him Zhu Ran's good news. Then he said without any concealment: "The captured Wei army warships have been sent to Yuzhang, and they must be able to equip ten and twenty ships soon."

Zhuge Ke continued: "With the ability of Yuzhang Shipyard, our army will be able to generally equip such warships in less than half a year. Speaking of which, we have to thank the Wei people. If they hadn't had their meticulous methods, we wouldn't know when we would know this skill."

To Sun Quan's surprise, in the face of Sun Quan's provocation, Fei Yi was very calm and said with a smile: "Then congratulate the king. It seems that God is going to destroy Wei. Although the Wei army used a trick to steal the technology of warships, it still could not change their destiny. It was defeated by the noble army in front and defeated by our army in the back. In a few days, the navy of our Han and Wu countries could meet in Xiangyang. The plan to cut off the Han River can be completed ahead of schedule. King, when will the noble army attack Xiangyang next? Our army is ready and is about to launch an attack on Fancheng, and we are waiting to fight with the noble army."

Sun Quan was stunned, and the smile on his face froze. "Fei Wenwei, what did you say just now?"

"I said that our plan to cooperate with each other went smoothly, so I was waiting to attack Xiangyang."

"No, no." Sun Quan shook his head repeatedly, stood up and walked quickly to Fei Yi: "You just said, have you defeated the Wei Navy?"

"Yes." Fei Yi blinked in confusion: "Don't the king know yet?"

"When did it happen?" Sun Quan was anxious and wanted to go up and grab Fei Yi's collar: "How is the battle?"

The more anxious Sun Quan was, the more calm Fei Yi was. While looking at the panic of Sun Quan's monarch and ministers, he was grateful to Wei Ba's scheming. If Wei Ba had not sent someone to inform him of the news with a fast horse, he would have been ridiculed by the monarch and ministers of Eastern Wu today. No matter how good your eloquence is, as an envoy, if you do not have strong force as support, you will inevitably be humiliated. Now Wu Yi and Wei Ba have achieved a record far exceeding the Wu army, so he could look down at the monarch and ministers of Jiangdong from a high position.

Fei Yi deliberately said in a calm tone: "Actually nothing. Didn't he agree to cooperate with the General of the Fuguo to attack Fancheng and block the reinforcements of the Wei army for the General of the Fuguo? After preparation, our army first led 10,000 soldiers to Fancheng first. He used a strategy to kill Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou of the Wei army, and the three thousand reinforcements led by him, and seized Deng Se, and now surrounded Fancheng. However, the army was outside and the food was consumed too much, so Wu Yi, the general who fought against the rebel, led another 10,000 troops and a large amount of food and grass, and rushed to Fancheng to support. Halfway through, he defeated the Wei Navy, captured four Wei army tower ships, and now he has arrived in Fancheng. Just wait for the General of the Fuguo to arrive in Xiangyang, and then launched an attack together. King, when will the General of the Fuguo to arrive in Xiangyang?"

Sun Quangu did not answer Fei Yi's question, his blue eyes were wide open: "Did you capture four Wei army ships?"

"Yes." Fei Yi waved his hand disapprovingly: "The Wei army is not familiar with water wars and is vulnerable at all. Our army defeated them with just one of the same tower ships. More than 3,000 Wei navy were wiped out, and none of them survived. Nearly two thousand were captured by the captives alone."

Sun Quan was mute, and his pride had now flown out of the sky. Zhu Huan used nearly 10,000 people to fight the Wei Navy. Although he severely damaged the Wei army, the results were too far behind those of the Shu army. What else is there to be proud of? Fortunately, he called Fei Yi proudly and wanted to show off in front of him.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Zhuge Ke and others were also blushed and ashamed. In front of Fei Yi's calmness, they were like children without cunning, and were embarrassed. In addition to being ashamed, Zhuge Ke was more vigilant. If Fei Yi was not bragging, then the strength of the Shu army's naval division would be far beyond their estimates. Originally, it was thought that the Shu army had few naval divisions in Hanzhong, and they were not the opponent of the Wei naval divisions at all. Therefore, the Wu army was responsible for controlling the Han River and cutting off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng. Now it seems that the Shu army's naval divisions are no less than that of the Wu army, and there is even a possibility of being more than that of the Wu army.

There are only two possibilities for this situation. Either the Shu army has been hiding its strength or the Shu army's strength has grown rapidly. The former is unlikely because the number of warships, especially large tower ships, is difficult to hide. The Shu army has to hide several tower ships and not let the fine work find any clues. The most likely thing is the latter, the strength of the Shu army is growing rapidly.

If this is true, then the Wu army's advantage in water war still faces a huge threat, but this threat does not come from the Wei army, but from the Shu army.

This is a bigger threat.

Sun Quan soon realized this, and then changed his attitude, took Fei Yi's hand, and said ashamedly: "Wenwei, it's me Menglang. I wanted to joke with Wenwei, but I never thought..." He shook his head and sighed: "Oh! Fortunately, we are allies."

Fei Yi quickly smiled and said, "What the king said is very much. Han and Wu are all ally. Whether you win or we win, it is something worth celebrating." He slowed down and continued, "King, Wei Ba is the handsome young generation of my Han Dynasty. The General of the Fuguo is the best general under the command of the King. They join forces to attack Wei, which is a rare opportunity to conquer Xiangyang. When Xiangyang takes action, Wanluo is under threat and his role is immeasurable. Now our army is ready to attack Fancheng, and I don't know the General of the Fuguo..."

Sun Quan frowned, not knowing how to answer Fei Yi. Lu Xun has just arrived in Dangyang, and is more than 300 miles away from Xiangyang. With his current marching speed, he will not be able to reach Xiangyang within ten days. Sun Quan also knew that Lu Xun wanted the Shu army to attack first, and wait until the Wei and Shu sides were almost exhausted, and it depends on the situation to see if there is a possibility of conquering Xiangyang. But he cannot say these words to Fei Yi, otherwise he will definitely be ridiculed by Fei Yi.

"He is rushing to Xiangyang and will arrive in Xiangyang soon." Sun Quan gave a very vague answer.

Fei Yi understood the meaning of this sentence too much, and he nodded meaningfully: "The General of the Fuguo Kingdom is very motivated and has a heavy hand. It is understandable that the fighter opportunity is lost in a flash. If you seek stability too much, you will often miss a great opportunity. At this point, it is still necessary to say that Zhou Gongjin and Lu Ziming were more courageous. The General of the Fuguo Kingdom passed on his poetry and books, but he still thought too much after all."

Sun Quan laughed and patted Fei Yi's back of his hand: "Wenwei, you're thinking too much."

Fei Yi bowed slightly: "I hope I'm too worried."

Sun Quan did not take up his words. He knew very well the instigation hidden in Fei Yi's words. However, what Fei Yi said stabbed his heart firmly. Although he did not doubt Lu Xun, he had to be alert to the Jiangdong clans.

After Fei Yi sued, Sun Quan had a gloomy face and didn't speak for a long time. Hu Zong and others who were accompanying him did not dare to speak casually, for fear of making Sun Quan unhappy. They all knew Fei Yi's intentions, but they also knew that Fei Yi's words hit the nail on the head.

"King, Jingzhou is the gateway to Jiangdong, and Xiangyang is the gateway to Jingzhou, so there is no need to lose anything." Hu Zong said carefully: "The Shu Kingdom is not strong enough and can only assist our army. This is a good opportunity for many years. If you cannot take this opportunity to occupy Xiangyang, in the future..."

Hu Zong dragged his voice and did not continue. Sun Quan slightly said it, agreeing with his opinion. Hu Zong was right. Since his brother Sun Ce, he has been attacking Jiangxia for killing Huang Zu and avenging his father. In fact, everyone knows that if you want to sit in the southeast, you must seize Jingzhou. You can seize Jingzhou to control the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and ensure the safety of Jiangdong. Yiling is the western gate of Jingzhou, and Xiangfan is the northern gate of Jingzhou. Why did Lu Meng strongly advocate attacking Guan Yu? It was because Yiling was already controlled by Shu at that time. If Xiangfan was controlled by Shu again, the situation of Wu would be dangerous.

Unfortunately, after killing Guan Yu, Xiangyang still fell into the hands of Cao Wei. This was the sting of Eastern Wu. They had always wanted to seize Xiangyang, but they could not succeed. Because with the troops of Wu, after defending against Shu in the west, they did not have enough troops to attack Xiangyang. This time, Wu and Shu combined troops was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Shu not only would not threaten his retreat, but also mainly undertake the task of attacking Fancheng and blocking the Wei army. Now the Han River is basically controlled by Wu and Shu, and the time to attack Xiangyang is ripe.

At this time, Lu Xun was stooping and seemed a little incomprehensible.

"Let Zigao (Sun Deng) come." Sun Quan hesitated for a long time: "Let him see what Lu Xun is planning."

Zhuge Ke raised his eyebrows and said quickly: "Master, the prince should not come out lightly."

Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Ke and explained: "I want him to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield."

Zhuge Ke shook his head: "King, the prince is the foundation of the country, and he should not be moved lightly. There has always been only the emperor who personally fought for the emperor and the prince supervised the country, but there is no reason for the prince to go on the battle."

Sun Quan sighed and said helplessly: "Then let Zizhi (Sun Lu) go, I think he will definitely be interested."
