Chapter 1065 Zhou Gongjin's research into the devil
Warships travel from north to south of the Yangtze River.
Those infantrymen who have never been on a boat, even if they sit on a thousand-person warship, feel weak and always feel that they will suddenly sink.
However, when I took a boat to the south bank of the Yangtze River, many people couldn't stand it. They lay on the side of the boat and spit out all the things that had not yet been digested in their stomachs into the water to feed the fish.
If someone attacks at this time, these soldiers will have no way to resist.
They have weak feet and hands and are dizzy.
Although Zhou Yu trained 100,000 naval masters in Panyang Lake have been defeated by Xu Huang.
However, when the army crossed the river, Xu Huang still asked the navy to escort it.
Beware that Zhou Yu would send the remaining naval forces to interfere.
The 300,000 army crossed the Yangtze River directly from Jiangxia, and then landed at Fankou on the south bank.
It is only more than 500 miles away from Chaisang.
The 300,000 troops will all arrive outside Chaisang City in five days.
If you just send a vanguard army, you can reach Sun Ce in three days.
Hundreds of warships traveled north and south, and it took three days to transport all 300,000 troops to the south.
When the Zhao army who arrived at Fankou on the third day disembarked, the soldiers who arrived on the first day, as the vanguard, began to advance towards Chaisang after two days of rest.
Although I had only walked a hundred miles on the water, I still felt very uncomfortable for these land ducks.
But there are some that are not very good at physical reaction.
These people were also selected and followed Zhao Yun to kill Chaisang first.
Of course, Zhao Hui's messenger also arrived in Chaisang first.
If you can not fight, of course it is better not to fight.
After Xu Huang defeated the navy in Zhou Yu's hands, Zhao Hui had sent people to Chaisang again to persuade him to surrender.
As long as Sun Ce is willing to surrender now, everything will be the same as before.
Zhao Hui can guarantee the glory and wealth of the Sun family.
The Sun family still has many talents, and Zhao Hui will also reuse them.
However, the Sun family's rights must be weakened, and it is impossible for Yangzhou to be controlled by the Sun family.
If Sun Ce still wanted to fight, Zhao Hui could also give him military power, but he could only go to the small countries in the south of Jiaozhou to fight. If he was willing to go to Mobei and kill the Huns, Zhao Hui would agree.
As for the current territory of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Hui would not let Sun Ce send troops to conquer.
If Yangzhou is also pacified, then only Liangyi Jiaotong will be left.
These three states range from northwest to southwest to southeast, and the three states accounted for almost half of the territory of the Han Dynasty.
If the Western Regions Protectorate is added, the area will be larger.
Among the three states, Yizhou has the largest population and is also the most important.
Zhuge Liang launched six Northern Expeditions with the power of Yizhou and Yizhou.
Zhao Hui is still waiting for news from Gao Lan Pei Yuanshao and others, hoping that they can successfully stop Liu Bei who wants to enter Yizhou.
Although Liu Bei lost Zhuge Liang, he now has Pang Tong.
Moreover, given the current situation, if Liu Bei escaped into Yizhou, Pang Tong would probably not die in Luofengpo.
Cao Cao in Chaisang is very low-key.
He, Xun You and others were basically in the military camp outside Chaisang City every day.
That is, Cao Cao would enter the city when Sun Ce invited him.
In the past two days, Zhou Yu is testing gunpowder again.
Although the navy failed, the failure of the navy army, and the defeat was so miserable, further aroused Zhou Yu's desire to study gunpowder.
He had trained for many years in Yangzhou Navy and thought he was the most powerful navy in the Han Dynasty.
However, in front of the Qingzhou Navy, who had only been training for more than three years, he was defeated so thoroughly.
The root of failure lies in gunpowder.
Zhou Yu has almost become possessed in the past few days.
He even did it himself in the Dan room every day.
But even so, Zhou Yu still had no clue.
He didn't know the principle, so he needed so much luck to get out gunpowder.
Otherwise, it would only be experimenting time and time again. There are so many things in the world, and I don’t know when charcoal will be used.
It took only three days. Zhou Yu, who was originally as beautiful as a jade, had a face full of ashes and his clothes were dirty and smelly.
These days, Sun Ce has not come to disturb Zhou Yu.
However, after receiving Zhao Hui's letter of persuasion and Zhao's army had already crossed the Yangtze River, Sun Ce had to come to see Zhou Yu.
When he saw Zhou Yu, he was shocked and almost recognized him.
"Gongjin, if it doesn't work, forget it."
Originally, he came to ask Zhou Yu for advice, but seeing Zhou Yu's current appearance, Sun Ce began to persuade Zhou Yu.
He didn't want Zhou Yu to be possessed, nor did he want Zhou Yu to become a madman.
Just like Zhou Yu, who was unkempt and had no image of the past.
No one believed it when he said it. This was Zhou Lang, who made countless girls want to marry.
I'm afraid that if Xiao Qiao comes now, I can't recognize her handsome husband.
"If you don't believe me, I can definitely study it." Zhou Yu was very paranoid, and it was not something that Sun Ce could persuade him with just one word.
"Gongjin, this is Zhao Hui's letter of persuasion, you can read it first." Sun Ce said.
Zhou Yu glanced at him quickly and threw the book of persuading surrender into the fire.
"There is nothing to be reduced. As long as I develop gunpowder, I will have a chance." Zhou Yu said.
Although the navy was defeated, Zhou Yu still didn't want to give up.
He also wants to continue fighting with Zhao Hui.
Hope is slim, but that's why you feel more accomplished after winning.
If you can win easily, Zhou Yu doesn't care.
"Gongjin, Zhao Hui's army has crossed the Yangtze River to Fankou. Now Zhao Yun has led the leading troops and is advancing towards Chaisang. He will arrive here in two days." Sun Ce said.
"Now, even if you study gunpowder, it's too late."
Sun Ce now has the same problem as when Liu Bei and Cao Cao were in Jiangxia before.
Even if Zhou Yu now develops the formula for gunpowder, they don't have time to make it.
If Liu Bei had not run away at that time, they might have been able to urgently get some gunpowder to fight Zhao Hui.
But Liu Bei gave up on them.
But this is just Sun Ce and Cao Cao's wishful thinking.
Pang Tong already understood that even if they stayed in Chaisang and handed over the gunpowder formula, they would still not be able to stop Zhao Jun.
Even if you know how gunpowder is made, if you want to apply it to the battlefield, you still need time to prepare.
Moreover, the soldiers in their hands have never been in contact with them, so they have to teach them how to use them to avoid hurting their own people.
Of course, Sun Ce does not have a gunpowder formula now, so he blames everything on Liu Bei and Pang Tong.
"Last time, I should have killed Pang Tong with one knife."
He agreed to Pang Tong, not only gave Liu Bei a month, but did not send troops to deal with Liu Bei, but also let Pang Tong go.
But the result was that after Liu Bei got the formula for gunpowder, he not only refused to announce it, but also abandoned him.
"The big-eared thief really has no faith."
Sun Ce can only curse on his lips now.
