"The Jingzhou navy has just surrendered, the morale of the army is unstable, and Cai He is also average in talent. It is inevitable that he will suffer setbacks in the first battle, so the general doesn't need to take it seriously.

After all, from the perspective of strength, our advantage is still very big."

Xun You's comfort made Ma Qiang breathe a little relieved.

"If Cai Mao's navy army goes to the water camp in Chibi, and Cao Ren builds the land camp, if there is any mistake again, the military law will be punished!"

"promise!"

"It seems that the navy Zhou Yu trained in Chaohu is not weak. If our army wants to win, it either opens up the Yangtze River or waits for Sima Yi's clean water to be unblocked."

After hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Ma Qiang nodded.

"In addition, Cai Mao's water ammunition can also be transformed into a new warship that can use artillery!" Xun You proposed another strategy.

"The artillery warships are very different from the building ships used in Jingzhou now.

But having is better than not...

Let Zhang Ji bring the shipbuilders from Jiangling, and then let Han Meng bring the shipbuilders from Xiangyang. If the water cannot be penetrated, we also have a backup plan."

——

"Vict!Vict!Vict!!!"

As he shouted for victory, Huang Gai laughed and walked off the boat.

"Major General! Military Advisor! You all saw that those Jingzhou ships were covered with pissing!

Ma Ziyu wanted to cross the Yangtze River with these Jingzhou wine bags?

Dream on him!”

As he said that, Huang Gai waved his fists, making the soldiers cheer louder.

Behind Huang Gai, the soldiers of the Yangzhou Army on several captured warships were waving Cai He's flag. Seeing this scene, the morale of the sergeant of the coalition forces was greatly boosted.

Liu Qi and others on the side couldn't help but twitching as Huang Gai said.

Why does this sound so distorted?

Zhou Yu hurriedly smoothed out the situation and said, "Although our army won a small victory in the first battle, the enemy is still strong and we are weak. All troops must not relax!"

Sun Ce said, "No matter that, this battle is our first victory! We should celebrate!

Mr. Qi, I heard that you are also good at drinking, why don’t you drink some together tonight?”

Liu Qi thought that he would drink and practice orders with famous scholars, beautiful girls, and you guys, so he refused.

That night, the celebration of the coalition camp spread throughout the river.

Zhou Yu didn't drink much, but walked by the river, looking at the lights on the north bank, thinking about things in his mind.

"Gongjin, if you don't drink well, what are you doing here?"

Lu Su walked over, and next to him was Zhuge Jin.

Zhou Yu looked at the two and smiled and said, "You two should know what I am thinking."

Lu Su took a wine pot and took a mouthful, sighing, "Although our army wins a little, the enemy is still strong and we are weak. If Ma Ziyu does not make a big mistake, it will be extremely difficult for our army to win this battle."

Zhuge Jin also said, "I went to interrogate the captured soldiers, all of whom were the former Jingzhou Army soldiers affiliated with Cai He."

"Although I have never seen the Hebei Navy before, I have heard from people in Wujun.

The Hebei navy is mostly equipped with artillery and crossbows, which likes to attack from afar, and does not like to fight in close combat. We are well aware of the beauty of navy!"

Zhou Yu has been practicing the naval army for so long and has a lot of experience in water battles. In his opinion, naval battles should be based on bows and arrows, that is, long-distance attacks should be the first, followed by close combat, which is the same as the combat ideas of the Hebei naval army.

"Fortunately, we have blocked the Jiangkou, otherwise the Hebei Navy and Jingzhou Navy will attack each other on both sides, and our army will be in danger!"

"Even so, it is only a temporary solution. Once the Hebei navy blows the iron chains and clears the waterways, our army will still be in danger.

Therefore, the Battle of Red Cliff cannot be delayed for too long!”

When Zhuge Jin heard Zhou Yu say this, he hurriedly said, "Did Gongjin already have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Since ancient times, those who can defeat the majority with fewer things, either use them for a while, or rely on the power of heaven, earth, water and fire.

I should use it together!"

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin were very surprised and both asked Zhou Yu about his plan.

Zhou Yu smiled but did not answer, saying, "Let me test it for a while and make plans."

On the other hand, Ma Qiang brought the Guards to Chibi and set up camp at Chibi.

"War is really a gold-swallowing beast."

Ma Qiang took the telegram sent by the State Council, looked at the numbers that were changing every day, and shook his head.

In the future, we still have to fight some money-making battles. Now, no matter how you fight this kind of civil war, you will lose money.

"The criminal general Cai Mao (Cai He) asked to see the general!"

"Come in!"

Ma Qiang put down the telegram and looked at the two people who were coming in with their heads down.

"Our army went south, and you were the vanguard. For the first time, you fought with the Yangzhou troops. What is the record?" Ma Qiang said knowingly.

The two of them dared not speak.

"Is there a fewer soldiers than the other party in this battle or is there a few boats?"

The two still dared not speak.

"Do you really think there is no military law in our army? I think you two should go to the military court for a visit!"

Cai Mao and the other knelt down and admitted their mistakes.

They have all heard of the power of military courts. It is said that the court also has a performance appraisal of death penalty every year, which is simply outrageous.

They are not willing to contribute to the performance of military courts.

"The Jingzhou navy has not been trained for a long time, so he has failed. He needs to be well-educated every day, at least two months before he can use it..."

"Two months?"

Ma Qiang thought for a while and asked, "If Sun Ce and Liu Qi come to challenge these two months, would you want me to stay in the door and not fight?"

Cai Mao replied, "I'm not afraid of him coming. Our army can build a water camp. If it comes to attack, use bows and arrows to throw a car, you will definitely defeat him!"

This is true, and I have artillery in my hand, so what I don’t fear the most is defensive war.

Ma Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll add you another cannon battalion to strengthen the water camp!"

In addition, I have ordered the mobilization of craftsmen from Jiangling, Xiangyang and other places to build ships in the Han River. You can select a thousand naval troops for Yu Jin to call them."

"promise!"

Cai Mao and the other two retreated, and then they divided into twenty-four water gates along the river. Large boats lived outside as city walls, and small boats lived inside, which could lead to the way. At the later time, the lights were on, which made the water surface of Tianxin red.

Ma Qiang followed the strategies of Xun You and others and built a dry village based on the water camp, including infantry and cavalry outside. There were also camps along the way to transport money, grain and materials, more than 200,000 soldiers, civilians and men, tens of thousands of mules, horses and livestock, and more than 300 miles of storms and fireworks, which were extremely spectacular.

On the other hand, Sun Ce was discussing military affairs with Zhou Yu and others in the camp. Suddenly, a soldier came in and reported that someone claimed that Sun Quan wanted to see him.

"Why are the second brother here?"

Sun Ce thought it was not good, and he didn't wait for anyone to go and spread it. He took Zhou Yu and others out of the camp. Sure enough, he saw Sun Quan and others in a mess.

"Brother Quan? Why did you reach Xiakou?"

When Sun Quan saw Zhou Yu, his eyes turned red.

In Sun Quan's view, the reason why Shouchun lost was because Zhou Yu did not send reinforcements.

"Zhou Yu, you still have tens of thousands of soldiers in Shouchun!"

Sun Quan really wanted to shout like this, then pounced on him and stab Zhou Yu to death with a sword.

Even if you can't stab to death, you can beat it.

But seeing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu walking almost next to each other, Sun Quan understood that Sun Ce would not allow him to hurt Zhou Yu.

Not to mention beating or scolding.

Maybe... in my elder brother's heart, my second brother may not be as close as Zhou Gongjin yet...

This is because Sun Quan is no longer confident.
