As soon as Huang Zhong's words came out, Gan Ning couldn't help but be stunned. Then he nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "General Huang! Don't worry! I'm here! Yuzhang is here! As for Zhao Qiang's hatred! I
I will keep it in mind! When I have the chance, I will settle the score with Sun Jian again!"
Huang Zhong was very satisfied with Gan Ning's answer. He laughed loudly, slapped Gan Ning on the shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "Okay! With your words, I can go back to Jingzhou to set up defenses with peace of mind."
"Master Cheng! Then do you want to stay here or come back to Jingzhou with me?" Huang Zhong turned his head and ignored Gan Ning, who had just been slapped by him twice and was so painful that his expression changed.
Cheng Yu asked.
Cheng Yu's face changed, and he seemed a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, frowned, and shook his head and said: "I'd better stay here! Sun Wu's navy's actions are indeed a bit weird this time. I want to be here."
Check it out! General Huang, when you deploy defenses in Jingzhou this time, you must be careful and don’t fall into the enemy’s scheme!”
"Yes!" Huang Zhong nodded to show that he understood, and stopped talking nonsense and said to everyone: "In that case, I will leave for Jingzhou immediately!" After saying that, Huang Zhong turned around without looking back.
He walked out and walked cleanly.
Zhou Tai looked at Huang Zhong's leaving figure with a look of admiration in his eyes. As a general, if he could do the job that Huang Zhong did, what else could he say? After being stunned for a long time, Zhou Tai turned around.
He said to Cheng Yu next to him: "Master Cheng, what should we do next?"
"Next? Haha!" In response to Zhou Tai's question, Cheng Yu chuckled, but pointed to Gan Ning in the center of the yard, then pointed to the study, and said: "Next, I suggest you hurry up and find
Some doctors come!"
————————————————Dividing Line————————————————————————Three days later, in Jingzhou, between Huangzhou and
In the Yangtze River Basin between the two cities of Wuchang, nearly a hundred warships are approaching the south bank of the Yangtze River. On the bows of these warships, without a single row, are the military flags of Sun Wu, who was captured in a sneak attack not long ago.
Sun Wu Shuijun of Daguan Lake!
On the shore, Sun Wu veteran Han Dang was directing the soldiers to disembark and line up on the shore. At the bow of the ship, Zhou Yu was looking at the busy soldiers on the shore with a gentle smile. Behind Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci was
He seemed to be looking at the soldiers on the shore with some concern, but hesitated to speak.
"General Taishi!" As if there were eyes on the back of his head, Zhou Yu seemed to be very aware of Taishi Ci's movement behind him, and said with a smile: "General Taishi, do you have any doubts?"
After hesitating for a moment, Taishi Ci still clasped his fists at Zhou Yu and said, "Commander! This time, the commander asked us to go west along the Yangtze River to Jingzhou. Isn't it a bit too risky? If the Jingzhou Navy in Yuzhang discovers it, we only need to retreat.
If there is a blockage, wouldn't our navy have no way to retreat?"
"Haha!" Zhou Yu just smiled lightly and said: "General Taishi, I didn't expect you to finally ask this question! In fact, when I told you this plan at Daguan Lake that day, you were doubtful, right?
! Well, not only you, I can clearly feel that General Han and General Xu also have no confidence in this plan, right? "
"Uh!" After Zhou Yu revealed the matter, Taishi Ci was a little embarrassed, but he quickly recovered and said to Zhou Yu, clasping his fists: "Please forgive me, Marshal! We are not doubting the Marshal's decision, we are just
I am a bit puzzled by the commander's dangerous move! In fact, with the commander's ability and Jiangdong's financial resources, it will be a matter of time for our Sun Wu Navy to catch up with the Jingzhou Navy! Why should we be greedy and seek speed? If Sun Wu Navy sets out in Jingzhou
What went wrong, wouldn't the hard work of the lord and the commander over the years be ruined?"
After hearing what Taishi Ci said, Zhou Yu sighed slightly and turned around to walk into the cabin. Taishi Ci couldn't help but be stunned by Zhou Yu's reaction, but he quickly came to his senses and turned around to follow.
Zhou Yu entered the cabin. As soon as he entered the cabin, he saw Zhou Yu stopping in the aisle of the cabin, stroking the wall of the cabin with his hand, and suddenly said to Taishi Ci: "General Taishi! Do you know how much this ship is worth?
"
"Uh!" Hearing Zhou Yu's sudden question, Taishi Ci was stunned again, and then replied: "As far as the general knows, the cost of a warship is about one tael of gold!" Although
Taishi Ci has been helping Zhou Yu manage the navy over the years, but most of the time, Taishi Ci is only responsible for Zhou Yu's safety. For the daily affairs of the navy, Taishi Ci is not very concerned and can only give a rough answer.
"Well!" Zhou Yu nodded first, then shook his head and said: "To be precise, it should be one, two or three gold coins! But this is just a warship built by our Sun Wu Navy! And the one we are riding now
It is a warship, but its value is much more than this, because this is a warship we captured from the Daguan Lake Water Village! Basically, making a warship like this should cost more than three times the cost of making a Sun Wu warship.
!”
After receiving such an answer, Taishi Ci couldn't help but be surprised. These warships built by Sun Wu have already consumed a lot of financial resources from Sun Wu! If it were not for the financial support collected by the Jiangdong family for generations, I am afraid that with Sun Wu's power,
It is really impossible for Sun Wu's navy to reach such a scale in a short period of time! And the warships of Jingzhou navy cost more than three times that of Sun Wu. This is simply unbelievable to Taishi Ci! Taishi Ci couldn't help but exclaimed
, shouted: "This, this, how is this possible? Although Jingzhou and Yizhou are rich, it is absolutely impossible to support Jingzhou to form such a fleet! This, how is this possible!"
Zhou Yu smiled faintly, not affected by Taishi Ci at all, but smiled and said: "Compared to us, the Jingzhou navy has a long history and a strong foundation! Besides, I am just talking about the value of this warship.
It is more than three times the value of our Sun Wu warship! But it did not say that the Jingzhou Navy spent more than three times as much money as we did in order to build such a navy! Under Luo Yang's account, there was a very impressive team.
, Rumor has it that they are all descendants of the Mo family back then! All of them are clever and clever! It is precisely because of them that the weapons and equipment of Luoyang are far superior to ours!"
"Although in a few more years, the scale of our Sun Wu Navy may really reach the same level as the Jingzhou Navy! But in terms of various equipment, we cannot surpass the Jingzhou Navy at all! There is even a gap between us.
There is a possibility of being pulled further and further away!" Zhou Yu touched the wall of the cabin in a deep voice, and finally turned to Taishi Ci and said: "And there is another question, that is whether Luo Yang will let us wait until that time! Don't forget,
We still have a lot of grudges against Luo Yang! Back then, we planned to seize Jiangdong, and I don’t believe that Luo Yang would just forget about it! Now Luo Yang is just busy calming down the internal affairs! If he waits until he calms down all the uneasy factors internally,
Well, then what Luo Yang has to deal with next is us!"
Taishi Ci was not an idiot. Zhou Yu made it so clear. Taishi Ci also understood and said in a deep voice: "Commander, I understand! If Luo Yang finishes dealing with other things that restrict him, he will definitely be able to get out of it."
All the troops will completely wipe out our Sun Wu!"
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "That's right! That's right! How big the gap is between Luoyang's Western Qin and our Sun Wu. I believe General Taishi has some confidence in his heart! If he waits until everything is ready in Western Qin, he will start a war with us.
, the hegemony that the lord has worked so hard for will be destroyed in an instant!"
Taishi Ci was so shocked by Zhou Yu's words that he broke into a cold sweat. But when he looked back and thought about it, Taishi Ci still couldn't figure it out and said to Zhou Yu: "Commander! Even so, it cannot explain that the commander will lead his army deep into Jingzhou.
What to do! Ugh! Could it be that the commander-in-chief wants to attack Jingzhou before Luo Yang takes action and cripple the Jingzhou navy! Defeat it!" Taishi Ci suddenly came up with a plan and said hurriedly.
But Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "No! The foundation of Jingzhou Navy is in Jingzhou, as long as Jingzhou is still in Luo Yang's hands! Even if we can wipe out the existing Jingzhou Navy in Yuzhang, it won't take long
, Luoyang will also reorganize another, even stronger, Jingzhou naval force! Therefore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening in the future, I will completely take Jingzhou into our hands this time! As long as we control the Yangtze River Basin
!Then the Jingzhou Navy will forever become a part of our Sun Wu Navy!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yu's eyes showed a little fanaticism! But Zhou Yu's expression soon returned to normal, which made Taishi Ci even wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes for a while!
This problem was temporarily solved, but it led to another new problem. Taishi Ci asked: "Commander! Although with the strength of our Sun Wu Navy, it is probably more difficult to annex Jingzhou! Besides, we still have
To attack the small city of Wuchang with such a big fanfare! Doesn’t this mean to scare the snake and let Jingzhou’s soldiers and horses return to support?”
Zhou Yu pointed to the shore outside the cabin, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said: "This attack on Wuchang City, what I am looking at is not just this small Wuchang, but has a deeper meaning! In short, General Taishi will
Don’t worry! If nothing unexpected happens! We will definitely be able to help our lord and capture Jingzhou this time! As long as Jingzhou falls into our hands, the Jingzhou navy in Yuzhang will naturally belong to us, Sun Wu!"
"Uh!" Taishi Ci was stunned again. He never expected that Zhou Yu's ambition would be so great this time. He actually wanted to swallow up Jingzhou in one go, and even take the Jingzhou navy as his own.
!But I have to admit, this suggestion is really tempting! If Jingzhou can really be captured, then Sun Wu will replace Western Qin and become the strongest prince in the world!
