Since Li Chen started to build ships, Zhou Yu has begun to build water camps in Fankou. Now, there are nine large water camps in the entire Fankou generation, which stretch for hundreds of miles. It can be said that even if the Battle of the Navy was defeated in the Eastern Wu battle, the Qin army would have to fight a water battle.

After hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, the ministers of the Eastern Wu were all sighing at Zhou Yu's far-sightedness. This was their master of the Eastern Wu and the Dinghai Sword of the Eastern Wu.

"This battle is a national war between our Eastern Wu. We must devote all our national strength to an invincible place. With me, Zhou Yu, in front, the king does not have to worry about the situation on the front line. If I, Zhou Yu, will not let the Qin army go one step beyond Fankou if I don't die." Zhou Yu said firmly.

"I know Gong Jin's talent. I am naturally relieved with Gong Jin in front. However, Gong Jin still needs one person to be in charge behind him. I wonder who Gong Jin thinks he is competent?" Sun Jian asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is responsible for coordinating the entire army on the front line and strategizing. Then there must be someone responsible for logistics work in the rear. There are so many people in front fighting, so the pressure behind is no less than before. Therefore, the person responsible for logistics work must be a capable person.

Today, the Eastern Wu only has the territory of the six counties in Jiangdong. Although the territory of these six counties is rich, the territory is not large among the princes in the world. Therefore, the population of Jiangdong is actually not large, and this talent is far inferior to that of Wei and Qin.

This is a national war with all the strength of the whole country. If the people in charge of the rear cannot be fooled by anyone. Among these ministers of the Eastern Wu, only Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and Lu Su are the only ones who can be responsible for this matter.

Among these three people, Zhou Yu liked Lu Su the most. But Lu Su was a junior after all. Although he was smart, he was inevitably somewhat lacking in experience.

"King of Wu, I thought it would be better to let Lord Zhang Zhao take charge in the rear. I and Lord Zhang Zhao will definitely be invincible," Zhou Yu said to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian himself said that if he didn't decide on internal affairs, he would ask Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu if he didn't decide on external affairs. This shows that Sun Jian still believes in Zhang Zhao's ability very much.

"Zibu, I wonder if you are willing to take on this important task?" Sun Jian asked Zhang Zhao.

As soon as he heard the words, Zhang Zhao's head was shaking like a blow. Zhang Zhao was not in charge of the battle. In his opinion, this battle was the best. How could he be willing to do this thankless thing?

Zhang Zhao is an important official under Sun Quan, and Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong are also representatives of the local aristocratic families in the Eastern Wu. Zhang Zhao knows more than anyone else about the many families in the Eastern Wu. If this national war starts, Sun Jian's family background will be able to last for half a year or a year at most.

Then when the Eastern Wu grains and grass are not in progress, then they will collect grain from these big families shopping in the southeast. If Zhang Zhao accepts this task, then he will have to lead the way.

In this era, for the children of a family like Zhang Zhao, the interests of the family were greater than the interests of the country. Therefore, Zhang Zhao would not take the initiative to hold this position no matter what.

Zhang Zhao wanted to refuse, but he couldn't just say I didn't do it. He had to find a reasonable excuse to reject this task, which would not arouse Sun Jian's suspicion.

"Ahem!"

"The King of Wu trusts me and gives me such a heavy responsibility. In theory, I should not have any ruling. However, I am old and weak, and I am willing to take on such heavy responsibility, but I am afraid I am powerless to do it." Zhang Zhao said to Sun Jian.

When Zhang Zhao said this, Sun Jian could not find any fault. Zhang Zhao was not young anymore, and among the civil officials in the Eastern Wu, he was also the oldest.

If this battle really starts, the logistics scheduling will definitely be a very high-intensity job. Zhang Zhao's body may not be able to support it.

Zhang Zhao was so old that he was unwilling to take on such an important task, and Sun Jian was embarrassed to force his appointment. So Sun Jian looked at Gu Yong next to him again.

Among the civil officials of the Eastern Wu, Zhang Zhao ranked first, and Zhang Zhao was the one who went on to be Gu Yong. Gu Yong's ability was not inferior to Zhang Zhao, and he was younger than Zhang Zhao. Gu Yong studied under the great scholar Cai Yong, and he was considered a famous family and was indeed a capable person.

"Yuan Tan, I wonder how you will take on this important task?" Sun Jian asked Gu Yong again.

Like Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong could think of what Zhang Zhao could think of. They were all big families in the Eastern Wu, and it was inevitable that Sun Jian would ask them to collect grain. Whoever assumed this important task would have to be bleeding.

For them, this is a thankless job. Therefore, Gu Yong is not willing to take on such an important task.

"The King of Wu, I am not very knowledgeable, and I am afraid that the Grand Commander's back." Gu Yong said to Sun Jian.

When he heard Gu Yong's words, Sun Jian's face changed a little. If Zhang Zhao had just said that there were only legitimate reasons, Gu Yong was just talking nonsense.

Gu Yong's words were no different from saying that I couldn't do this job. But he had no choice but to use the old and weak as an excuse. Gu Yong really couldn't find any excuses, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and pull one.

Gu Yong was unwilling to do it, and Sun Jian really couldn't force him. This was a battle about the fate of Eastern Wu. If Gu Yong was forced to do it, then if Gu Yong came to work but didn't work hard, it would be a big deal.

Zhang Zhao was unwilling to do this important task, and Gu Yong was unwilling to do it. Lu Su said sincerely, it should be my name for the next King of Wu. Well, I should not wait for the King of Wu to name it, I will stand up by myself.

Of course, Lu Su did not recommend himself, he wanted to recommend one person.

"King of Wu, I, Lu Su, recommend one person. This talent is not as good as the Grand Commander. If we can invite this person, we will definitely increase our chances of winning." Lu Su stood up and said.

When Sun Jian heard Lu Su's words, he was shocked. Lu Su is not a targetless person. Since he said that there is a talent that is not inferior to Zhou Yu, then he must be a great talent.

"Oh, I wonder who Zijing is talking about?" asked King Sun Jian of Wu.

"King of Wu, I wonder if you have heard of it. If you can rest assured the world with just one dragon and a phoenix chick?" Lu Su asked.

If you have one dragon and phoenix chick, you can rest assured the world. This sentence is said by Sima Hui, a famous hermit in the Han Dynasty. Now this sentence is not widely circulated. This ordinary people actually do not know it, but is only circulated in the scholars.
