Chapter 696

By Sun Jian's ridicule, all the people in the army account burst into laughter, and sun CE's little white face suddenly turned red. Sun CE quickly made a gesture to drive away those people who were familiar with him. Then he turned around and said to Sun Jian with a smile: "father, my son doesn't want to tell you about this matter. Well, the teacher's new army has been trained. After this year's adjustment, Jiangdong has been initially settled. You see, we can't just sit here and watch the disputes among the Central Plains? "

Sun CE's words can be regarded as asking the wishes of all the generals on the scene. The silence of this year can be regarded as suffocating them. All the generals stretched their necks and waited for Sun Jian's reply. Sun Jian is slightly a meditation, suddenly raised his head to the side of Xu Shu asked: "Yuanzhi! How many soldiers and horses are there in eight towns now? "

As soon as Xu Shu saw that all the men sitting here were loyal to Sun Jian, he did not mean to hide it. He thought about it for a moment, and then he bowed his hand and said, "to your Lord, up to the end of last month, there were 41000 garrisons in Kuaiji, 37000 in Wujun, 46000 in Lujiang, 34000 in Pengze and 31100 in Yuzhang There are 58000 people in Changsha, 43000 in Lingling and 37000 in Guiyang. The total number of soldiers in the eight towns is 327000! "

In the past year, Jianye's garrison was not just developing. The eight garrison generals dispatched abroad also actively developed their military forces in accordance with Sun Jian's order. After all, it is now in troubled times. Without enough powerful military forces, everything is useless.

"Well!" Sun Jian nodded and said, "Changsha is the foundation of Jiangdong army. My Marquis has been in this county for many years. Besides, there are some virtuous schemes in charge of the overall situation there. It is not surprising that such achievements have been made, and the garrison generals of other counties are also developing well." Sun Jian was obviously satisfied with the development of Jiangdong counties in the past year.

Seeing that Sun Jian was leading his words to the direction of the garrison, sun CE could not help being anxious and immediately said to Sun Jian, "father! Father! I mean, when will my father send me to lead this new army to make contributions to Dongwu? " Sun CE's words made many generals itch. Who doesn't want to be in command of a strong army? After seeing the power of this new army, you can look at your own troops. That's a scum! All Jiangdong generals present are looking forward to leading the new army to make contributions.

Sun Jian gave sun ce a bad look. He raised his hand and patted him on the back of his head. He said with a smile: "how long has it been since I started my teaching from your teacher? Why are you so impatient again? Do you want me to send you to your teacher again

When sun CE thought about the miserable life under Chen Ren's hand, he couldn't help but shiver, shook his head in a hurry, waved his hand, and retreated obediently. Sun Jian also ignored the son, and asked Xu Shu, "what happened to the water army trained by Gongfu and xingba?"

Xu Shu opened his mouth to answer this question: "according to the reports of Huang and Gan, the 100000 Navy troops have been trained and can be put on the battlefield at any time."

"Good!" As soon as Sun Jian patted his thighs, when all the generals thought that Sun Jian would decide to go out to the army, he did not expect Sun Jian to stand up and said faintly, "everyone is full. Let's go back."

Looking at all the generals' faces full of disappointment, Sun Jian just shook his head slightly. However, among those subordinates, Sun Jian found several smiling faces, which made Sun Jian's eyes brighten, for one of them was Zhou Yu, who was young.

Walking to the gate of the barracks, Sun Jian suddenly said a few words to the sergeant's ear. The sergeant nodded, turned and left. Sun Jian smiles at Sun Quan and Xu Chu, who are full of doubts, and then goes on.

Half an hour later, Sun Jian had already returned to his residence, changed his clothes in a hurry, changed his armor covered with dust and put on his casual clothes. Just after washing, the sergeant outside came to report and Zhou Yu visited. Sun Jian just nodded and asked people to arrange for Zhou Yu to meet in the study. Then Sun Jian also went to the study.

He opened the door of the study and saw Zhou Yu sitting there. As soon as he saw Sun Jian, Zhou Yu immediately got up and clasped his fists. Sun Jian was not polite. He ordered a little, went straight to the top seat and sat down, and motioned Zhou Yu to sit down.

Seeing Zhou Yu was still a little restrained, Sun Jian said with a smile, "Gongjin, don't be too restrained. How to say, your father and I have been friends for many years! When I saw you, you were still a childish child! I didn't expect to become a graceful young man in a twinkling of an eye! Ha ha ha

Hearing Sun Jian's words, Zhou Yu's little white face could not help but show a little blush, but this also made Zhou Yu relax a lot.

"Gongjin! I heard that you and Bofu recognize the two daughters of Duke Qiao of Lujiang and have a good relationship with them. How about that? Do you have any idea when to get married Sun Jian is now a little bit like an obscene uncle, laughing strangely.

Zhou Yu's face became more and more red. He didn't know what to say. Sun Jian saw that Zhou Yu couldn't sit still, so he gave up his plan to continue to tease him and said, "by the way, didn't you learn from Chen Zici? How is your study going? "

After hearing Sun Jian ask a serious question, Zhou Yu's face gradually returned to normal. When he left the military camp, Sun Jian sent someone to stop him and asked him to come to Sun Jian's residence alone to discuss important matters. Zhou Yu didn't believe that Sun Jian would call him here specially, just to make fun of him. Although he was thinking about it in his mind, he still replied quickly: "the teacher has been busy with military training a few days ago. He just arranged some exercises for me. For example, he went to the military camp every morning to train with the soldiers for an hour, and he went to rehearse with Kong Ming and Yuan Zhi. Now, although the teacher's military training is over, after all, the teacher and his mother have not been together for a long time, so I decided to ask the teacher again after some time"Well!" Sun Jian nodded and said, "you are not wrong with this idea. I also told Yi'er that Zici has worked hard for Jiangdong this year. It's time for him to have a good rest. Gongjin

Hearing Sun Jian call his own words, he immediately straightened up. He felt that today Sun Jian was looking for him to talk alone. Sun Jian was still smiling and said, "Gongjin, what do you think of Bofu's proposal today?"

Zhou Yu thought about it for a moment and said, "my Lord, my subordinates believe that what Bofu said is true. Now the world is full of heroes, and the eastern Wu Dynasty has gone through the initial period of instability. At present, there are many disputes in the Central Plains, and Jiangdong is rich and has the same people's hearts. It is the so-called favorable time, favorable place and harmonious people. All three are in harmony. It is the time for us to achieve hegemony in Jiangdong! "

Sun Jian nodded and smiling. He had discussed this with Guo Jia and Xun Yu for a long time. However, today, Zhou Yu seemed to see through Sun Jian's intention except Guo Jia and Xun Yu. This reminds Sun Jian that Chen Ren immediately congratulated himself on getting a great general when he knew Zhou Yu's name. Chen Ren's vision has always been extraordinarily accurate, which also made Sun Jian have a strong interest in Zhou Yu, so he invited Zhou Yu to his residence, intending to take an examination.

Although Zhou Yu accurately stated Sun Jian's intention, Sun Jian still had some expectations for Zhou Yu. He continued to ask, "since Gongjin said that this is the time for us to send troops to Jiangdong, how should we send troops and where should we go?"

Zhou Yu lowered his head again and thought for a while, but this time it was quite a long time. However, Sun Jian did not interrupt him. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yu's thinking with a smile and looked forward to Zhou Yu's surprise.

After half a ring, Zhou Yu raised his head, but his face was a little bit more confident. Zhou Yu said in a positive tone: "my Lord, my subordinates think that the Yangtze River is a natural danger in the east of the Yangtze River. Now with 150000 water troops to form a defense line, it can be said that Jiangbei is an iron barrel defense. However, in Jingzhou, to the west of Dongwu, Liu Biao and I have always had a feud. Moreover, Jingzhou navy has always been famous all over the world, which is a great threat to the Yangtze River of Dongwu. Therefore, my subordinates think that if Dongwu wants to achieve great success, it should take Jingzhou first! "

"Oh?" Sun Jian was also intrigued by Zhou Yu's remarks. He also sat upright and asked, "since we want to take Jingzhou, how does Gongjin think we should do it?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "the Jingzhou water army is strong, but the army is not in the flow. This can be seen from several previous battles between Jingzhou army and Soochow. What's more, judging from today's new military exercises and training, the 100000 new troops trained by the teacher are far more than the original Jiangdong army. They are many times stronger than the troops in Jingzhou. Now they are just put into use. "

With that, Zhou Yu saw a map hanging in Sun Jian's study. Zhou Yu got up, went to the map, pointed to Jingzhou area, and continued: "our army can be divided into three armies to attack Jingzhou in an all-round way. First of all, general Cheng Pu can lead the 40000 garrison troops in Changsha to March directly to Wuling from Changsha, and then take Gongan, Yidao and Yongan, and finally Jianping to cut off the connection between Jingzhou and Yizhou; then, General Huang and general Gan can lead Chai Sang's new water army from Poyang Lake and upstream along the Yangtze River to take Fancheng, Xinye, Anle and Anzhong, and finally Nanyang to stop Yanzhou Finally, the new army of Jianye marched to Wulin, and then took Nanjun. Once the Nanjun was broken, Xiangyang was no longer blocked. Xiangyang is the seat of Jingzhou governor's office. Taking Xiangyang means that Jingzhou has already fallen into the hands of Dongwu, leaving only one Shangyong City, which is difficult to defend. In this way, the matter of Jingzhou will be settled. "

"Well!" Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction. Zhou Yu's plan to capture Jingzhou by the three armies was similar to that proposed by Guo Jia and Xu Shu. It can be seen that Zhou Yu's military strategy level is no longer lower than that of Guo Jia and others. Finally, Sun Jian still asked, "Gongjin, the three route men and horses you just proposed, two of them have proposed leading commanders. Why is this the commander of Jianye new army Did you say it? "
