[I am afraid that Liu Xuande will not give us that long time to prepare. Although it is difficult for us to obtain the real situation under Liu Xuande's rule, from the decrees he issued, I can feel that the gap between us is constantly widening.
] Zhou Yu felt a little bitter in his heart.
However, Zhou Yu would not tell Sun Ce this kind of thing. After all, even if he told Sun Ce, Sun Ce would only cause trouble. The opponent's intelligence is only suitable for fighting. It is best not to go to Sun Ce for other matters, otherwise it can only be said to cause trouble.
In fact, by now Zhou Yu had some doubts about the source of wisdom of Chen Xi, who was at the helm of political strategy under Liu Bei.
It’s not that Zhou Yu is arrogant, it’s just that Zhou Yu comes from a wealthy family, and has been interested in various classics since childhood. He knows all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition, as the father of Sangong, he fully supports Zhou Yu’s studies. After more than 20 years, Zhou Yu has become arrogant.
I am definitely not weaker than others.
After all, if I don’t talk about anything else, just talking about IQ, Zhou Yu’s mind is definitely the best in the world. In addition, Zhou Yu is born to learn and is extremely diligent. Ordinarily, even if someone with amazing talent and beauty comes into the world, Zhou Yu feels that there is no such a big gap.
.
The simplest way to put it is that Zhou Yu was confident that he would replace Li Ru. Dong Zhuo's power when the Eighteenth Princes were fighting against Dong would never be weaker than Li Ru's power as the mastermind. However, if he replaced Chen Xi, Liu Bei's power would definitely go away.
Not to this extent.
This is the gap between the two sides, and it is also the simplest deduction. As long as you put yourself in their shoes and deduce it, you will find that the gap between the two sides is very large, and this is theoretically impossible.
Zhou Yu knew very well that his talent should be close to the human limit. Even if Chen Xi had reached the human limit, it would not be possible for him to show such a big gap.
But the good thing is that reality is more rogue than fiction. If reality happens, it is reasonable. Therefore, Zhou Yu can only think that the limit he previously estimated is not the limit. Of course, this fact has been denied by Zhou Yu.
Since there are only two possibilities, one is that one's prediction is wrong, and the other is that the opponent is a god coming to earth, then why should one choose an option that is not beneficial to oneself? If a god comes to earth, then there is actually no need to take action, and the victory or defeat is already determined.
.
"What are you thinking about?" Sun Ce asked, waving his hand in front of Zhou Yu who was distracted, attracting Zhou Yu's attention back again.
"I'm thinking about how to mobilize our troops. It seems that before the Battle of Jiaozhou, we need to lead our troops to the south bank of the Yangtze River." Zhou Yu said calmly, without showing the slightest worry, as if he was really thinking about this before.
The problem is the same.
"The south bank of the Yangtze River?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face, "Hahaha, I will personally lead the troops there. I have wanted to fight Guan Yu for a long time. If you hadn't pulled me, I would have gone."
"Not only do you want to lead the troops, I also need to follow." Zhou Yu sighed and said, "But if you want to fight Guan Yu, you still need to be careful."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Although he is very powerful, I, Sun Ce, am not a vegetarian. As long as I am careful, there will be no problem." Sun Ce proudly patted the armor on his chest and said.
"I hope so." Zhou Yu said helplessly, "Liu Xuande sent troops to Youzhou to attract Yuan Tan's energy. The purpose should be to attack the Yuan family from both sides together with Xianbei and destroy the Yuan family in the north as quickly as possible."
"For us, it is not a good thing for Liu Bei to destroy the last enemy in the north. Once there is no restraint from the north, he will be able to completely free up his hands to deal with us. However, the Yuan family in the north can only survive, so we only need to contain some of the opponent's energy.
That’s it.” Zhou Yu explained to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu completely indifferently. He didn't care at all why he wanted to fight Guan Yu and Guo Jia. He just wanted to fight against the peerless master.
"As for the authenticity of Qu's agricultural book, it has been verified. However, Yangzhou itself is vast and sparsely populated, and the food is abundant, so there is no need to rush this moment. Let's involve some of Liu Bei's energy first. Cao Mengde's side will also intervene after the spring plowing is stable.
"Yes." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's expression and explained.
In fact, it was not that Zhou Yu did not carry out agricultural reforms, but compared to the relatively insufficient land in the north, the south actually had no shortage of land, so his enthusiasm for agricultural reforms was not as strong as Cao Cao's.
What's more, Zhou Yu's arrangement was not only to allow the northern Yuan family to continue, but also to hide his true strategic intentions.
Although Zhou Yu didn't think highly of Shibian, basically no one who could serve as the governor of a state in the late Han Dynasty was an economical lamp. Zhou Yu didn't believe that Shibian had no fear of them, and even the other side was ready to wait for Sun Ce's invasion.
Prepared, Zhou Yu wouldn't be too surprised.
Although Zhou Yu didn't know that Sun Quan wanted to take control of Jiaozhou and was defeated in history, Zhou Yu was not the kind of careless person. If he wanted to win Jiaozhou, he had to quickly take it into his hands without anyone else in the north reacting.
, it will definitely not work without some ingenuity.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu went north to deal with Liu Bei. Involving the energy of Liu Bei's side was definitely the fastest way to make Shibian feel relieved. Once Shibian was relieved, Zhou Yu believed that Pang Tong, Jiang Qin and the others would soon bring about the outcome of the battle of Jiaozhou.
Zhou Yu didn't have anything to worry about with Pang Tong. What really worried Zhou Yu was dealing with Guan Yu under Liu Bei on the other side of the Yangtze River. Zhou Yu knew one thing very well, that is, compared with the princes in the north, their generals were relatively scarce.
Not to mention compared with Liu Bei, even compared with Cao Cao, Sun Ce's generals still have a considerable gap. Fortunately, compared with land warfare in the north, water warfare in the south is the mainstream, and water warfare pays more attention to
Command and deployment do not require high levels of combat effectiveness on the part of the generals themselves.
Therefore, in the south, the requirements for generals are more to better command warships and to have better warships. The number of real duels on the water, except for the internal gas separation warriors who are very confident in themselves, will leave the combat zone for one-on-one duels.
, others will never do it.
Of course, even those who are very confident about themselves will not fight in the war zone, because for a large ship that has its own clouds and enhanced temperature and maintenance, and is controlled by people, the internal energy is also quite fragile.
Even if you are besieged, you will be killed.
However, for Jiangdong now, the biggest problem is not that there are not enough internal Qi separated generals, but that there are no excellent warships. The flat-bottomed boats can just go along the Yangtze River, but when they reach the sea, they capsize with a wave.
[The real goal of this battle to the north is not to divert Liu Bei's energy, but to replenish our army!] Zhou Yu thought silently, feeling a little heavy in his heart.
