Liu Xiu's composition here is relatively complicated. After all, he doesn't even have a single county in his hands. Even if the rice in Champa City is harvested three times a year, the grain output will increase dramatically.
However, the number of soldiers Liu Xiu could raise was still limited, and fifteen thousand was barely enough.
If there are more, I'm afraid Liu Xiu will be overloaded, and it may be able to sustain it in a short period of time. But if this situation remains for a long time, he will begin to collapse internally!
In this battle, even if Liu Xiu tried his best, 10,000 troops and horses would be the limit.
In other words, Liu Xiu knew that how many soldiers and horses he left behind were of little significance to Zhu Yuanzhang. If Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to move him, he would not be able to resist it now.
Simply, it is better to exert as much effort as possible for the Han Dynasty! Only by protecting Liu Che, the most powerful prince among the Han clan, can the Han Dynasty be preserved to the greatest extent.
After all, Liu Xiu is still a Han clan member, and the blood flowing through him is the blood of the old Liu family! For the vast majority of these Han clan clan members, the blood of Liu Xiu is still preserved in the world.
Being in control is definitely a first-class matter.
However, what is troubling here is that Liu Xiu's army responsible for attacking Nanjun Jiangling has the most complicated composition.
At the same time, what troubles Liu Xiu even more is that the composition of his troops is even more complicated. Not only Liu Xiu's own troops, but also Xuzhou Zhao Kuangyin's navy, and at the same time, Xu Shiji's defeated army.
.
Moreover, the actual power he possesses is still the smallest among the three parts of power.
Whether it is Xu Shiji or Zhou Yu, these two people are very proud people. If Liu Xiu's power is not enough, it will not be an easy task to make these two people obey his orders.
! Even if you obey on the surface, whether you are convinced or not is another matter!
These two people cannot compare their talents, and the other party has insufficient troops, so why should they obey the other's orders? In terms of commanding the battle formation, which of these two people will lack the ability to control themselves?
confidence?
And the more you look at these capable people, the more you want to take your own destiny into your own hands!
If possible, Zhao Kuangyin was actually not willing to let Zhou Yu become the commander-in-chief of one side, but if it was a naval battle, he really had no one more suitable than Zhou Yu.
And Zhao Kuangyin also has enough confidence in himself. As long as he has the people of the Sun family firmly in his hands, Zhou Yu can only be used by him.
What's more, even if Zhao Kuangyin makes Zhou Yu the commander of the navy in this battle, it doesn't mean that he won't arrange any extra means.
It is said that one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.
Liu Xiu, Xu Shiji, Zhou Yu, no matter which one of these three people is taken out alone, it is probably not an easy task for Zhuge Liang to defeat them, and there is even a risk of overturning.
But when these three people came together, they couldn't play their respective roles.
It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang seized the opportunity. The three thousand Yizhou Navy vanguard troops had not yet reached Nanjun and were still floating on the Yangtze River, but they had already fallen into Zhuge Liang's fire attack plan.
When the fire came down, not a single one of the 3,000 Yizhou Navy vanguards remained, and even the vanguard general Gan Ning fled. Fortunately, Gan Ning's water skills can be said to be at the top level among the Three Kingdoms, otherwise, I'm afraid it's not really possible to escape from this fire.
………………………
"Damn Zhuge Pifu, you really underestimated him!" Xu Shiji said with some secret hatred.
Although Zhuge Liang in this world has begun to rise to prominence, his intimidating power is far behind those of governor-level figures such as Yue Fei, Bai Qi, and Li Jing. Not many people in the world can yet realize how powerful he is. !
Gan Ning's talents are not bad, especially in water warfare. Xu Shiji is still aware of this. However, he was defeated to this extent by Zhuge Liang in the first battle, but Zhuge Liang only lost some insignificant boats, and even There were no casualties. It can be seen that compared to Zhuge Liang, Gan Ning's level was obviously far behind.
"Captain Xu, you are upset!" Liu Xiu reminded softly.
At that time, Xu Shiji pretended to be demoted by Liu Che over the issue of the bet on Xiang Yu's head. However, Liu Che did not really demote him, it was just a symbolic explanation to the world.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Xu Shiji to be promoted again and even become the Commander-in-Chief of Jiaozhou of the Shu Army. He could be said to be the first person in the Shu Army.
"Thank you, King Chu, for reminding me!" Xu Shiji sighed, and then said helplessly.
We are all smart people, and perhaps we were originally in a state of being obsessed with the authorities, but when Liu Xiu clearly pointed out this problem, Xu Shiji quickly realized his own problem.
It is true that the defeat of this battle had a huge relationship with Liu Xiu, Xu Shiji, and Zhou Yu.
However, this is understandable. Liu Xiu, Xu Shiji, and Zhou Yu are all top figures in the world. Who would think that their fighting skills are not as good as the remaining two!
The outcome of this battle is related to everyone's destiny. How can they leave their destiny to others? In many cases, the more powerful people are in the world, the worse they are in some aspects. Being stubborn makes them seem worse than those "fools"!
But why was it this side of the Shu army that lost in this battle? Rather than the remaining two sides?
This point has something to do with Xu Shiji himself!
Xu Shiji, his heart was already anxious, and he even said that his heart was in chaos.
After all, at this moment, the land of Bashu has reached the most dangerous situation. Wu Qi and Li Jing's military front is definitely a real threat to the land of Bashu.
As the number one military leader among the Shu army, Xu Shiji and tens of thousands of Shu soldiers were blocked from Shu. In this situation, even if it were another person, it would be impossible not to be impatient. !
And once Xu Shiji gets impatient, he will always reveal his flaws unconsciously. And if a monster like Zhuge Liang reveals his flaws in front of him, it will be difficult for Zhuge Liang not to catch it!
Therefore, it was due to various reasons that Gan Ning's vanguard army failed.
