I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 357
Chapter 357
For Cai Mao's defeat, it is impossible to say that Meng Chen is not angry at all, after all thousands of lives are there, but at this point, Meng Chen can only speak comforting words.

After all, before the battle, Meng Chen had adopted Liu Bowen's suggestion that he should only lose but not win, but Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were not the ones who knew about it.

To put it bluntly, Meng Chen can be regarded as cheating Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and these two are not considered personnel in the inner circle of Xiliang.

After comforting Cai Mao, Meng Chen sent people to Zhang Yun's home, no matter how Zhang Yun died for the country, comforting the family is also an important task.

Although he suffered a defeat today, it made Liu Rengui face up to the Jiangdong navy. It has to be said that in terms of water warfare, the Jiangdong navy is indeed much stronger than the Jingzhou navy.

If Liu Rengui was given a few more years, perhaps the strengths of both sides would be reversed, but there was not much time left for Liu Rengui, because after the next year's spring plowing, Meng Chen would definitely use troops against Jiangdong.

"My lord, more than 5000 people were injured in the first battle today, and more than [-] large and small warships were lost. It may be difficult to make up for it in a short time." Liu Rengui handed over the battle report. The loss of personnel can be replenished, but the shipbuilding is not so fast.

"Don't worry about the rules, the warship will be supplemented by the spring of next year, what needs to be done right now is to take this opportunity to train as soon as possible." Meng Chen said lightly.

Liu Rengui left as promised. There is a clear difference between water warfare and land warfare. Although the Xiliang Army has hundreds of thousands of troops, the number of capable water troops only accounts for a small part of it.

In other words, whether Mengchen can win Jiangdong in one fell swoop depends on the surrender of the [-] Jingzhou navy soldiers!
After leaving the tent, Liu Rengui took a deep breath. He knew that Meng Chen said this to relieve his pressure, and he also believed that Meng Chen could make up for the loss of the warship in the spring of next year.

But the biggest problem before him is to make the navy in his hands stronger in a short period of time.

In the Jiangdong camp, although the battle was won, Zhou Yu's mood was a little burdened by the sudden appearance of a navy general from the Xiliang army.

If it is said that Meng Chen only has naval generals such as Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, then Zhou Yu is not afraid at all.

But the sudden appearance of this general surnamed Liu, and his absolute grasp of the fighter, this person is no ordinary person.

"Kong Ming, do you know the navy general named Liu in the Xiliang Army?" Zhou Yu was smiling, even if he had something on his mind, it would be difficult to detect it.

Of course, except for Zhuge Liang, he had already noticed Zhou Yu's strangeness, but when Zhou Yu asked him, Zhuge Liang also felt a little helpless.

"As far as Liang knows, none of Meng Chen's generals has the surname Liu."

"Captain, it doesn't matter what his name is, as long as he dares to offend me in Jiangdong, he will be buried in the belly of a fish!" It was Huang Gai who spoke.

In today's battle, Huang Gai showed his prowess, and after fighting the Jingzhou surrendered army, Huang Gai's confidence increased greatly.

"Hahaha, what the official said makes sense! In terms of cavalry, we are inferior to the Xiliang army, but fighting on the river, the Xiliang army is still far behind!" Chen Pu also got up to agree, but his thinking was very clear.

From the analysis of the Xiliang Army intelligence collected so far, the Xiliang Army is definitely second to none in land combat.

However, the combat power of its navy cannot help Jiangdong at all.

"Hahaha, today the governor of Dasheng Ben is going to play the lord, and reward him for his merits!" Zhou Yu laughed loudly, and hurriedly changed the topic.

Now that we have won the battle, it is worth congratulating. As for the rest, there is still time anyway, Zhou Yu can only respond to all changes by staying the same!
In the following period of time, the Jiangdong navy commanded by Zhou Yu attacked several times, but it was a pity that Meng Chen ordered to strictly guard it, so that the Jiangdong navy had no results.

But such a show of weakness just met Sun Quan's need to take the opportunity to build momentum.

Ever since, the voice of the capitulation faction headed by Zhang Zhao was suppressed once again.

When the end of the new year was approaching, Zhou Yu, who had already returned to Wu County to report on his duties, suddenly received a news that shocked the entire Jiangdong, Meng Chen sent troops!
This time the troops were not sent out like in the past, but most of the troops in Jingzhou were mobilized, and a large village was set up along the coast of Chibi!

"What do you guys think, what does Meng Chen mean by this move?" Sun Quan was a little puzzled, although the river is now frozen, it is not so easy to cross the river.

"Without him, it's just military training!" The Jiangdong generals didn't answer, but Zhuge Liang was the first to speak out.

Sun Quan was slightly displeased, and then looked at Zhou Yu, who nodded heavily during this time. Meng Chen's going down to the Red Cliff was probably for the decisive battle after the beginning of spring.

"My lord, since Meng Chen has already made a move, we must not sit and wait for death." Zhou Yu got up, and this sentence was naturally a call for a fight.

"At the end of last year, Mengchen launched a surprise attack on Cao Cao, my lord must not take it lightly." Seeing Sun Quan hesitate, Lu Su hurriedly got up and added.

Hearing this, Sun Quan frowned, feeling another worry in his heart!
"Gong Jin, if the new year is approaching, if you send troops on this matter..." Sun Quan finished his sentence, but Zhou Yu gave an affirmative answer.

"Soldiers are pressing down on the border, and Jiangdong is in danger. If you go out at this time, the soldiers will have no complaints!"

Zhou Yu spoke again, and even Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu stood up after the words fell.

"Marquis Wu, my lord can send troops to go together." Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu expressed their support in unison.

Seeing this, Sun Quan no longer hesitated, so he ordered Zhou Yu to immediately raise troops and set up camp on the other side of Chibi.

On the one hand, they are monitoring the movement of the Xiliang army, and on the other hand, they are preparing for the spring battle.

In Chibi, inside the Xiliang army camp, Meng Chen stood in front of the sand table and said something to the generals!
"Dazhai is divided into two parts. The front is the water village, and the rear is the land village. The distance between the two must be five miles, and a trench must be dug. The most important point is that Jiangdong must not be allowed to discover the existence of the trench." Meng Meng Chen said loudly.

The reason for choosing Chibi is also because it is suitable for the army to deploy, and the second is to satisfy my little spoof heart.

"My lord, why must there be five miles between the two villages? Do we need to dig a trench?" Zhao Yun asked puzzled.

"Shuizhai and Luzhai are connected to each other. If the enemy uses fire, the consequences will be unimaginable. The purpose of digging trenches at a distance is to isolate the fire." Meng Chen smiled proudly.

Hearing the words, the generals suddenly realized, but Pang Tong frowned. It was easy to dig a trench within five miles, but it was too difficult not to be discovered by Jiangdong Xizuo.

"Shi Yuan put so much effort into it, I'll leave it to you to dig trenches and disguise for five miles!" Meng Chen changed his voice, and immediately arranged such a hard job for Pang Tong.

"My lord, can we discuss..."

"cannot!"

"Military division, can you..."

"No!"

Meng Chen and Liu Bowen didn't give Pang Tong a chance to defend himself, and continued to assign tasks to the rest of the generals.

Seeing this, the black line on Pang Tong's head is completely dumb and unable to tell!
