Taishi Ci stood up from his seat and paced back and forth in the hall.
After a long time, Taishi Ci said seriously: "Third Young Master, my lord has taken away the army, and there are not many soldiers left in Jiujiang County. As for the local soldiers in Jiujiang County, they lack training and need to be reorganized. We want to deal with Jiangxia and Jingzhou."
It will take at least half a year for the southern counties to send troops. Even if we send out troops, we must unite the eldest son's navy to ensure smooth operation. It is not easy to send troops."
Sun Yi said with enthusiasm: "General Taishi, the battlefield is the best place to train troops, and it is also the fastest way. Even if you are a bad soldier, going to the battlefield once is better than training for a month."
Taishi Ci nodded and said: "What Third Young Master said is reasonable, and Ci agrees with this statement. However, our army has a small number of troops, and the casualties suffered by soldiers during the battle on the battlefield are too great, and we cannot afford it."
Sun Yi said angrily: "General Taishi, if you just defend, how can you defend Jiujiang County?"
Taishi Ci said seriously: "With the help of the navy, we can defend Jiujiang County."
Sun Yi sighed and finally had nothing to say.
Although he has the title of Sun Jian's son, Sun Yi did not want to use his power to overwhelm others, so he finally obeyed Taishi Ci's order. Sun Yi rolled his eyes and said: "General Taishi, we are not going to attack, but to harass Wang Can
You can do it. You give me a thousand soldiers, and I will harass Changsha County, pretend to attack, and mobilize Wang Can's troops."
Taishi Ci shouted: "No, if something happens to the Third Young Master, how can I report it to the Lord?"
Sun Yi was furious and said without giving in: "General Taishi, although I am the son of my father, I am also a general in the army and want to serve the country. This is not possible, that is not possible, what else can I do? Father,
If you are asked to guard Jiujiang County, are you willing to be a dog guarding the house and not want to expand the territory?"
Taishi Ci's face changed greatly and he said: "Third Young Master, opening up a territory is not just a matter of a few words."
When Sun Yi saw Tai Shici insisting, he flicked his sleeves and left directly.
Taishi Ci looked at Sun Yi's leaving figure with a wry smile on his face.
Sun Jian asked him to defend Jiujiang County, which was a very challenging task. If he took the initiative, Jiujiang County would be empty and it would be easy for Wang Can to take advantage of it.
Taishi Ci sighed, left the prefect's residence, and ran towards the school grounds.
At this time, the most important thing is to train an elite army to be able to respond accordingly.
…
Poyang Lake, thousands of miles of blue waves.
On a large warship, Zhou Yu was training the navy.
Zhou Yu held the command flag in his hand and constantly ordered the soldiers to conduct drills, placing warships in various battle formations, cultivating the tacit understanding of the navy soldiers and enhancing their agility.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and Sun Ce came quickly.
Zhou Yu looked back and asked with a smile: "Bo Fu, have you found out the headquarters of the Ganning Navy?"
Sun Ce nodded and said: "We have indeed found out that Gan Ning's lair is in Dongting Lake. Unfortunately, Gan Ning is very cunning. The remaining navy soldiers have already moved away, and our men were in vain."
After a pause, Sun Ce continued: "Although Gan Ning was not found, he found out an amazing news. Wang Can has surrendered all counties in Jingnan and achieved the unification of Jingzhou with an edict. Wang Can now orders Jingzhou
The counties are so impressive, I'm afraid Jiangdong will be in war again soon."
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "It's a pity that the governors of the four counties in Jingnan didn't resist. What a pity."
Sun Ce said helplessly: "This is also expected. Gong Jin, I came to you this time to discuss the navy. Our navy has rested for a while, can it go to the battlefield?"
Zhou Yu cupped his fists and said, "Of course!"
Sun Ce smiled and said: "Okay, let's discuss how to deal with the counties in Jingnan to cause more trouble for Wang Can, lest Wang Can turn around and deal with us."
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "It makes sense."
The two of them turned around and headed towards the cabin to discuss what to do next.
…
Jiangxia, Prefecture.
Wang Can once again summoned Jia Xu, Xu Shu and Guo Jia to discuss the matter.
This time, Wang Can summoned three people to discuss matters no longer in Jingnan, but in Jiujiang County. Jiujiang County borders Jiangxia County. If Wang Can wants to expand eastward, he must capture Jiujiang County.
He continued to expand his territory and encroached on Jiangdong. If Wang Can wanted to plot Jiangdong, he had to attack Jiujiang first before he could succeed.
Wang Can said slowly: "Jingnan has been leveled, Jingzhou has been secured, Cao Cao is busy dealing with Yuan Shao, and we must also seize the time to deal with Sun Jian. Therefore, I am preparing to attack Jiujiang. This is the case. Let us share our opinions."
Jia Xu said: "My lord, the attack on Jiangdong requires a navy. Now that the navy has been severely damaged, I'm afraid there will be difficulties."
Xu Shu continued: "Sun Jian left Jiujiang, but left Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to lead the navy in Poyang Lake. Once our army raises troops, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce will definitely lead the navy to rush to rescue. Once the navy from Jiangdong crosses the Yangtze River, it will definitely block it.
Cut off our army's retreat. In short, without naval support, our army will be in a very difficult situation."
Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "What Yuan Zhi and Wen He said makes sense. Jia won't go into details anymore. Please think twice before acting, lord."
"My lord, please think twice before you act!"
The three of them tried to persuade Wang Can at the same time, hoping that Wang Can would consider it carefully.
In fact, it is quite difficult to attack Jiangdong without Gan Ning's naval support. Jiangdong's water system is developed and there are rivers everywhere, which is not conducive to cavalry charges. Light boats and small boats are the most suitable. Sun Jian took advantage of Jiangdong's geographical location to dare to say
Even if Cao Cao is given an army of 500,000, it will be difficult to reach Wu Commandery.
Jiangdong's position was Sun Jian's confidence.
Wang Can saw the three people insisting and did not get angry.
He smiled and explained: "Wen He, Feng Xiao, Yuan Zhi, I have already considered your opinions. Please listen to me in detail. Let's first analyze Wen He's mention of the heavy damage to the navy.
, our army lost more than 30,000 navy soldiers, which was indeed a great loss in military strength, but Jingzhou's navy soldiers were far more than 30,000, nearly 100,000. Although 100,000 soldiers were just a piece of loose sand, they were given to Gan Ning for training.
It should be okay to eliminate nine out of ten and leave ten thousand people behind, right?"
After finishing speaking, Wang Can looked at Jia Xu.
The Jingzhou navy is a soldier who is familiar with water warfare, but the government orders are not clear and the training is not diligent. As long as they are trained by Gan Ning, they will definitely be able to burst out with strong combat effectiveness. This is Wang Can's way to make up for the navy.
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "My lord is wise, I will bow to you."
Wang Can looked at Xu Shu again and said: "As for what Yuan Zhi said about Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, as long as Gan Ning is given a month, it will be enough to restore 70% of the navy's strength, or even higher. Gan Ning has a navy under his command.
, we start to attack Jiujiang County again, even if Taishi Ci, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce block it, we still have a lot to do."
Xu Shu said: "The key to sending troops lies in the navy. My lord has solved the difficulties of the navy, and our army will no longer have troops. Since there is a lack of food and grass, it is logical to send troops."
Wang Can asked again: "Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, I have already thought about it. Jia has nothing to say."
Wang Can touched his palm and said: "Since you all have no objections, I will inform Gan Ning of the news and ask him to train a navy army again within a month to restore the prestige of our army."
At the moment, Wang Can found the soldiers who sent the message and sent an order to Gan Ning, asking Gan Ning to recruit navy soldiers who were good at fighting. He also had to gather all Jiangxia's navy soldiers together and conduct a unified screening to select more
The right sailor.
With a strong naval force, Wang Can has the confidence.
