At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Zhou Yu's self-confidence is not aimless.

Jiangdong is a very complicated place, even Zhou Yu must plan carefully before he can act.

Of course, the difficulties are mutual, and Sun Quan, as the monarch, is also the same at this time.

Jiangdong not only has Jiangdong faction, Huaisi faction, but also a considerable force.

Yangzhou Shepherd personally appointed by the imperial court, the former department of Liu Yao, the clan clan of the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning, Sun Ce just drove Liu Yao to Yuzhang County.

Liu Yao, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, was personally appointed by the imperial court as the shepherd of Yangzhou. How dare Sun Ce kill him?

Driving away Liu Yao is already a dishonorable name, and it is not right.

If Liu Yao is killed again, Sun Ce will never even think about gaining a foothold in Jiangdong!

Therefore, after Liu Yao fled to Yuzhang County, he reorganized the state pastoral office and armed forces.

But not long after, Liu Yao died of illness.

Liu Yao's subordinates supported Liu Yao's son Liu Ji to inherit Liu Yao's great cause.

Liu Ji had no great ambitions, so he surrendered directly to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce just lacked the reputation to lead Jiangdong, so he accepted Liu Ji's surrender.

At Zhou Yu's suggestion, Sun Ce appointed Liu Ji as the prefect of Yuzhang, still in charge of Liu Yao's trilogy.

However, Sun Ce was worried that Liu Ji's power would be too strong, so he divided Yuzhang County into two and asked Zhou Yu to personally lead the army to garrison in Chaisang.

The name is to train the navy, but in fact it is to monitor Liu Ji.

This is a deviation from history, because in history it was not Liu Ji who inherited Liu Yao's trilogy, but Liu Yao's fellow villager Tai Shici.

Because Tai Shici surrendered to Liu Zhang early, he did not come to Jiangdong to serve Liu Yao.

It can be said that Liu Ji has no ambitions at all. Governing states and counties is his greatest interest.

Not only did Liu Ji not have any objection to Zhou Yu's sudden entry into Chaisang, but he hit it off with Zhou Yu and became a bosom friend.

The reason is also very simple, both of them are very handsome, their personalities are also very similar, and their family affairs are also very prominent.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Yu and Liu Ji are in a state of hostility to each other, but in fact Liu Ji and Zhou Yu are very close.

Zhou Yu's attack on Jiangxia this time brought 15,000 people from the Central Army, which could force Sun Quan to give him material assistance.

Backed by Yuzhang County, you can also get Liu Ji's respective support, including soldiers, horses, money and food.

In fact, Zhou Yu seems to have 30,000 people, but in fact behind it is the entire power of Jiangdong.

Lu Meng didn't understand such a complicated relationship structure at all, so he was always worried, worried that he would not be able to explain his defeat in the First World War.

In fact, very few of the entire Huaisi faction can really understand why Zhou Yu is so bold.

Including Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other veterans, no one can understand Zhou Yu.

Cheng Pu even opposed Zhou Yu's attack on Jiang Xia in public, so he refused to come.

The only ones who can really understand Zhou Yu's hard work and are willing to share the pressure are Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

However, there are some differences between Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong is a native of Guangling, Xuzhou, not a disputed Huaisi faction.

But Zhang Zhao is from Pengcheng, Xuzhou, not the authentic Huaisi sect, but Zhang Zhao belongs to the elder sect.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are extremely capable. With them in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu can go to war with confidence.

Take Jiangxia first, then use Jiangxia as the basis, and then occupy Jingzhou, so that the Huaisi faction headed by Zhou Yu can completely rise.

"People, don't worry! Jiang Xia's Huang Zu only has 10,000 sailors and 10,000 infantry."

"And we have 30,000 sailors and 10,000 infantry!"

"If Huang Zu can't be taken down with twice the military strength, then I, Zhou Yu, will be called a famous general in vain!"

Lu Meng didn't understand what Zhou Yu meant, so he asked quickly.

"Great governor, don't we only have 30,000 people?"

Zhou Yu still looked ahead, but his eyes drifted to the south side vaguely.

"Liu Ji, the prefect of Yuzhang County, has prepared an army of 10,000, and will attack Jiangxia with us."

Lu Meng's eyes lit up, and most of the sorrow in his heart dissipated immediately.

"The governor is worthy of being the number one wise man in Jianghuai. It turns out that he has already made arrangements!"

Water warfare is different from land warfare, and there is almost no sneak attack at all.

In particular, Jiang Xia's navy will be stationed in the water village, and there is no possibility of a surprise attack.

In a land battle, a sudden killing of a thousand cavalry may change the direction of the battlefield, but a water battle is completely different.

The number of people in the water army, the size of the warship, the strength of the warship, and the number can almost determine the trend of the battlefield.

The Jiangdong navy is famous for the quality of its warships.

There are two buildings and warships of this size that Zhou Yu rides on in the whole world!

One is Feiyun, which was built by Zhou Yu himself.

There is also a ship named Gaihai, which Sun Ce commissioned Zhou Yu to build together, and now belongs to Sun Quan.

The Jingzhou navy has no large ships at all, and the most powerful warship is the 艨艟.

But there is no way to compare with the Jiangdong water army in terms of the number of warships.

This time Zhou Yu wanted to put on a good fight and fight Huang Zu with real swords and guns.

Internally, Zhou Yu's Chaisang navy crushed Huang Zu's Jiangxia navy, no matter in terms of military strength, number of warships, quality, commander's ability, general's bravery, and the quality of soldiers.

Externally, wars broke out in Jingnan and Jingbei, and Huang Zu did not have any reinforcements.

Thanks to the Jiangling War, Yuzhang County, which borders Changsha County, has no crisis.

For Zhou Yu, this is almost a sure-fire battle!

After winning, Jiangxia County was successfully taken.

Zhou Yu not only shocks the world, but also increases his voice within Jiangdong!

From then on, if the Jiangdong family wanted to run against Zhou Yu or the Huaisi faction, they had to weigh Zhou Yu's powerful military power.

If there is a one in ten thousand chance of losing, it would be tantamount to ruining the world for Zhou Yu and the Huaisi faction!

Undoubtedly, the military strength will be greatly damaged, and Zhou Yu's prestige in the Huaisi faction will also be lost!

The Huaisi faction will inevitably become a mess, and it will have no place in the Jiangdong Sun family.

Sun Quan must seize the opportunity to weaken the power in the hands of Zhou Yu and the Huaisi faction.

Maybe they will take advantage of the defeat to completely remove Zhou Yu's position as the Central Guard.

At that time, the Huaisi faction could only rely on others and bow their knees to seek refuge with the Jiangdong family.

If you want to turn over again, it can only be a daydream!

Of course, Zhou Yu is very clear about the consequences of defeat, he cannot and will not lose.

In order to ensure the victory, Zhou Yu played all his cards when he sent troops to Jiangxia this time!

Even Liu Ji's power in Yuzhang County has been mobilized!

Without Sun Quan's permission, Liu Ji dared to support Zhou Yu privately.

This is an extremely dangerous signal for Sun Quan.

If everything goes well for Zhou Yu, it's okay to win Jiang Xia successfully.

Once Jiang Xia is defeated, all charges will be accumulated!

At that time, the entire Jiangdong, except for the local aristocratic family, will usher in the biggest liquidation.

"Ziming, tell all the soldiers in the army to fight Huang Zu with all their might!"

"After defeating Huang Zu and occupying Jiangxia, the governor will have a great reward!"

Zhou Yu is extremely confident, but never underestimates any opponent.

Even if he has the upper hand, he will not relax his vigilance.

"The general obeys orders!"

Lu Meng was immediately full of confidence, and the spring of the Huaisi School appeared in his eyes.
