The Jingchu soldiers quickly reported it. This was the first time they had seen this kind of operation. A big ship loaded a small boat, and then the small boat was released into an inaccessible waterway. This kind of operation made these Jingchu people who are proficient in water warfare
, they saw a lot of things from it, operations they had never thought of!
Thinking again about Liu Beijun's super huge battleships and those observing nearby, the middle-level general Jingchu who was still a little wary couldn't help but calm down. Liu Xuande's water warfare ability now seems to be something they can't offend.
Started.
Watching Gan Ning's ship sail away, the soldiers of Jingchu, who had always been the number one naval force in the Central Plains, couldn't help but feel as chilled as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They looked at the ship entering the Han River, and looked at the ship that had turned around and followed the Yangtze River.
Go to the seventh generation ship.
All the Jingchu soldiers present had a feeling that their opponents were invincible. The gap between the two sides was no longer something that could be made up by water warfare skills or bravery. The bravest soldiers faced a gap in combat effectiveness that was almost generational.
, also lost its meaning.
After all, water warfare and naval warfare are a mode of war that relies far more on the quality of equipment than the army. Perhaps tactics and skills can indeed make up for the gap in equipment.
However, facing this kind of equipment gap, it was obvious that our attack failed to penetrate the opponent's armor, which was like a chasm. The Jingchu soldiers clearly knew that this kind of war could not be won at all.
"Can our warships do this?" A Jingchu scout chief asked after Liu Bei's ship had gone away, as if he suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers of Jingchu looked at their water village at the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River, and looked at the boats, yachts, fighting ships, and the largest building ships there. After a while, they were speechless.
The largest ship is not even as large as the opponent's warship.
"Can we win?" Baifu Jingchu, who was in the water village, watched Liu Bei's ship leave and said silently. The captain of the ship next to him didn't say anything.
If you spread this kind of contempt for military morale in the military camp in the past, you might be suspended from duty, or even executed in some cases. But in this situation, no one is blind and no one is stupid. The gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides has been
There is no way to fight.
"Aren't we the most powerful soldiers in water warfare in the entire Central Plains?" Lieutenant Lou Chuan asked himself, but he turned around and looked at the warships in his water village, and then looked at Liu Bei's warships that had become smaller. It turned out that before
They are all deceiving themselves and others, thinking about who is the strongest and most powerful. It turns out that the other party has always failed to kill them. The other party is a pig, and they can sink them even if they can sail a boat.
"Where is our big ship?" A navy captain murmured to himself. As the pride of the South, the South and the North have always recognized the South's ship and the North's horse. At this moment, they inexplicably found that they had withdrawn from the trend of history.
"Yes, where are our big ships? Aren't we the strongest naval force?" The centurions in Jingchu looked at each other, wondering why they suddenly withdrew from the trend of history, and why suddenly the north built such a terrible navy.
Warship.
When Zhou Yu got the secret message from Nanfang, which was urgent from thousands of miles away, he just smiled and said, "They are just a bunch of idiots. He has known about this kind of thing for a long time. This group of people in the South are really short-sighted."
Split, separate regimes, the Yangtze River is naturally dangerous, water warfare is the strongest, taking Jingxiang and one part of the world, entering Sichuan and Shu to divide the world into two, etc. Zhou Yu just wants to say one thing, are you pigs?
I don’t know how I developed that kind of habit. Many southerners in this era have the idea of resting in peace and contentment. No matter how miserable the people in the north are, they want to unify the world. Even now, they want to unify the world.
The civil servants and generals who were beaten out were completely two-pronged.
If we really want to talk about the gap between the two sides, Zhou Yu does not think that the civil servants in the south are not as intelligent as those in the north. Unfortunately, the gap between the abilities that the two sides can exert due to their mentality and vision is really too big.
This kind of mentality exists not only among the upper-class civil servants, but also among the middle and lower classes. Coupled with the speculative thoughts of some people, even Zhou Yu can't stand it anymore.
For example, Liu Bei doesn't seem to be very strong when it comes to surrendering due to the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. Let's fight, at least let the other side know that we can't be humiliated, so we can gain some ideas about our future and origins. There are many in the south.
This is probably because Liu Bei and Chen Xi have good personalities and have never massacred the city or engaged in the disadvantages of liquidation. If they were like Cao Cao, whoever dared to negotiate terms would die. No one dares to jump now.
Of course, one thing is that Jingchu is really strong. Different from the Three Kingdoms era in history, at this time, Jingchu under Sun Ce included Yangzhou and Jingzhou, with a population of more than 7 million, sufficient soldiers and armor, and rich food.
Naturally, people in the middle class have the idea of fighting to earn fame and family status for themselves. Anyway, if they are defeated, they will die like the dirt-legged people below. Liu Bei will not massacre the city, but he will be appeased after the defeat. When the time comes, they will also
It won't be much worse than now.
The same rice feeds all kinds of people. The minds of the people in Jingchu are very different from those in the north. They used to be restrained by the Yuan family, but now the Yuan family is busy and has no control. This group of people can
We are really united around Gu Zhuzhang.
After all, there are completely different results between surrendering after winning a battle and surrendering without fighting. In the former case, with Liu Bei's character, the Jingchu family might be able to have a good future.
For the latter, even if Liu Bei had been merciful, the best result would have been business as usual. In that case, why not fight him? He would die like a fool, and since he was not them, he might not be able to give the Jingchu family another chance.
Zhou Yu chuckled and crushed the secret letter into dust, then threw it out from the side of the flagship. Then he walked into the cabin with a smile. He believed that it wouldn't be long before many people on the ship would come looking for him.
The biggest trouble under Sun Ce's rule should be dealt with. Unlike Liu Bei and Cao Cao's subordinates, Sun Ce's subordinates have never had the same voice. Even now, Jiangdong has always been the Jiangdong of those small and medium-sized aristocratic families in the south who do not know the destiny.
If Zhuge Jin hadn't been able to reconcile the factions, balance the relationships between the various parties, and get Sun Ce and Zhou Yuchao to come out, maybe Sun Ce would have been in a hurry now and would kill those aristocratic families in Jingchu.
But now it's finally time for those people in Jiangdong to wake up. It's time for the Jiangbiao family in a corner to see the truth about the Central Plains. It's time for these people to wake up.
The next day, when Zhou Yu was enjoying the banquet in silence, Brother Zhang Zhao came over in person. Zhou Yu glanced at the two of them and said, "Why do you two need to interfere in this matter? The Zhang family in Xuzhou and the Zhang family in Wujun are not the same family."
"Since ancient times, people with the same surname are from the same family, so we are not allowed to come. What's more, we also have some thoughts about it. Even if we didn't interfere, we didn't stop it." Zhang Zhao looked at Zhou Yu's handsome and young face and sighed.
.
In this era, after all, people like them who are conceited about their talents are lagging behind. What's more important is that the younger generation has surpassed them, not only in ability, but also in experience. Facing figures like Chen Xi, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong
It is impossible for them to surpass it in their lifetime.
"General Zhu went to Bo Fu?" Zhou Yu said slowly, without asking about the affairs of the three Jiangdong families. Zhou Yu knew everything.
"Yes, General Sun values righteousness. After all, General Zhu is a veteran who fought with General Sun in the world. It is more appropriate to go to General Sun to ask for help, so the two of us are here." Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong looked at each other and said calmly.
.
"Don't worry, I have no idea of liquidation." Zhou Yu put down his wine glass, pointed to his head, and said flatly, "If I wanted to liquidate, they would have died long ago. Although the Zhou family keeps a low profile, they are really willing to say what Mr. Yuan did.
, I can do it relying on this place and my identity.”
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were speechless. They both ignored one thing. Zhou Yu, who had always been very low-key in Jiangdong, really had a rich family background. The Zhou family was probably richer than all other families.
What's more important is that even if Zhou Yu relies solely on himself without the help of external forces, he is still a wise man who stands at the top and looks down on all the heroes.
"I don't want to calculate the general ledger, and I'm too lazy to deal with those things. In fact, if Gan Xingba hadn't shown me kindness this time, I would have driven the seventh-generation ship to them next time." Zhou Yu said calmly, what was Gan Ning's mentality?
Although it felt incredible, Zhou Yu still preferred his own judgment.
Although it is shocking to find out that a bastard has a brain, Zhou Yu does not think that Gan Ning is really brainless like Sun Ce. The Gan family is a family that can arrange for its own children to be local county guards at the age of eighteen or nineteen.
, you won’t really elevate a fool to the position of the head of the family.
In the same way, Sun Ce is not a fool. Sun Ce just has Zhou Yu, so he doesn't need to use his brain at all. When Sun Jian died in battle, Sun Ce brought his whole family to seek help from Yuan Shu. He relied on more than just the intuition of beasts. It's just that the more you use your brain, the better.
There will be more aura, but if you don't use it, it will become useless.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong breathed a long sigh of relief. The Zhang family of Wu County begged them to help them because they had taken care of the Zhang family of Wu County when they moved here. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong agreed, and now they have such a result.
very good.
"So you two can rest assured. They will have some troubles, but I have no intention of killing them." Zhou Yu said calmly, and then added a glass of wine to each of them. "After drinking this glass of wine, everything will be over."
Go over there and let them have some fun."
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong felt much relieved after hearing this, but they didn't know that Zhou Yu really had no idea of liquidation, but then, the Zhang family of Wu County merged into their second Zhang family, and the head of the Gu family of Jiang Biao was replaced by Gu Yong of the branch.
, Zhu Zhi's head of the family was directly succeeded by Sun Ce's loyal supporter, Zhu Huan.
The so-called emperor and courtier may not be that exaggerated, but if you cannot see the situation clearly and only care about yourself, regardless of the way others live or die, you will not be able to survive at least in this era.
