I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 358

Chapter 358

Although the weather was cold, on the coast of Chibi, the Xiliang soldiers were full of energy. The construction of the entire water village and land village was advancing in an orderly manner, and busy scenes could be seen everywhere.

Not only that, Mengchen sent a large number of scouts and secret agents on land, and there are many patrol boats cruising on the river.

Whenever suspicious persons, ships, or soldiers from any of the Cao, Sun, and Liu families are found, a large number of Xiliang troops will soon swarm up.

Under such a situation, Zhou Yu's idea of ​​investigating the Xiliang Army Dazhai fell through!
In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to raise troops ahead of time and go straight to the village on the other side of Chibi. As for logistics and supplies, he threw all his brains to Lu Su.

"Captain, what is the intention of the Xiliang army on the opposite side?" Huang Gai came to Zhou Yu's side and asked aloud when they set up camp.

Due to the comprehensive blockade of the Xiliang Army, the entire Jiangdong army has no knowledge of the current situation of the Xiliang Army so far.

"False and real, real and false, no matter what tricks Meng Chen plays, we just need to wait for it to change." Zhou Yu said calmly.

An elite navy cannot be built in a day or two. No matter what tricks Meng Chen uses, he will eventually face Jiangdong's elite.

Therefore, Zhou Yu is not in a hurry at this time, as long as Meng Chen does not engage in sneak attacks, there will be a battle in the beginning of next spring!
"Don't worry about others, just do your own thing." Before Huang Gai could speak again, Zhou Yu added.

Huang Gai nodded after hearing the words, since Zhou Yu said so, there is no need to entangle in this matter.

The ancients often said that when soldiers come, they will block the water and cover them with earth, not to mention that the Xiliang Army's water warfare capabilities are not strong.

The arrival of the Jiangdong navy did not affect Meng Chen's plan, and the tighter he covered himself, the more worried Jiangdong would be.

Right now, Mengchen is discussing with Liu Bowen about connecting the warships with iron chains!

"Military Master, since it's an act, this Marquis naturally wants to play a full set. If you can connect the warships with iron chains, and then lay targets on them, I believe war horses can walk on flat ground." Meng Chen said excitedly.

Liu Bowen frowned. Although this method is good, if it is attacked by the general's navy, it will not be worth the loss!
"My lord, although this method lasts for a short time, it cannot be implemented in large quantities. Otherwise, once it encounters a fire attack, it will be too late to dismantle the ship." Liu Bowen's words are right, since Meng Chen proposed this method, it is naturally reasonable.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it as a military advisor. You only need a small number of warships to be able to attack and defeat the Jiangdong Navy."

Meng Chen laughed, how could he not know the problem of this method?If he didn't act more realistically, how could Zhou Yu be fooled?
"Huh! That's good." Liu Bowen let out a long breath.

"These days, the hard-working strategist hides his name. When the day of the decisive battle comes, Zhou Yu will definitely be surprised."

Meng Chen did not publicize Liu Bowen's arrival, the purpose was also to confuse Zhou Yu.

Time passed, and a month passed. As the river began to freeze, the contact between the two sides gradually became rare.

And the Dazhai of the Xiliang Army has already taken shape!

Under Mengchen's dispatch, more than a dozen ships connected by iron chains have been completed, and wooden boards have been laid between the ships.

In this way, even Xiliang cavalry who do not understand water skills can walk freely on board.

Not only that, but Meng Chen also galloped back and forth on the warship several times on a black-headed horse, which attracted Xiliang cavalry to follow suit.

When everything was ready, Cai Mao was eager to try.

In this regard, Meng Chen nodded heavily, and promised Cai Mao that if the Jiangdong navy came to investigate again, the chain warships would attack the enemy.

However, as the weather got colder and colder, the Jiangdong navy basically never appeared again.

From winter to spring, under the strict supervision of Meng Chen, the new policies of Jingzhou counties have been implemented one after another.

Although the aristocratic family lost their land, they got the chance to enter the Western Regions.

And the people who got the land were stimulated to their potential, especially after Xiliang soldiers took the initiative to join the mid-term, the progress of the entire spring plowing was greatly advanced.

"My lord, the spring plowing has basically been completed. According to Anbu's report, Jiangdong's spring plowing is relatively lagging behind. Now is the time to use troops." In the conference hall, Liu Bowen reported the progress of the spring plowing to Meng Chen.

Meng Chen nodded with a smile: "Order the whole army to rest for five days, and after five days, send a letter to Zhou Yu!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals present were gearing up, especially Cai Mao, who had experienced the defeat last year, and this time he was determined to fight an eye for an eye.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard. If you are defeated, come and see me!" Cai Mao got up and said to Meng Chen seriously.

"What do the military advisers think?" Meng Chen didn't directly agree, but turned to look at Liu Bowen.

Meng Chen has always been worried about Cai Mao's ability. He deliberately wanted to lose in the previous battle, but this time it is different.

"General Cai is commendable for his loyalty, and he must be the pioneer! The only thing is, don't be greedy for merit." Liu Bowen smiled, and then said to Meng Chen.

"Thank you, military advisor, the final general is willing to issue a military order!" Cai Mao said confidently.

The birth of the chain of warships gave Cai Mao more confidence, but Liu Bowen's "greed for merit" can be regarded as a warning to Cai Mao.

"In this way, make Cai Mao the vanguard, and the rest of the people will follow me to lead the battle!"

"Here!"

Meng Chen's decision did not dissatisfy the others, after all, the water battle was unfamiliar to them.

Although he trained on a chain warship for a period of time, it was only in the port.

The situation on the river is more complicated than that of the port. If you are not familiar with waterways, accidents may happen at any time.

The letter of war was written by Chen Lin. Although he did not scold Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao, Meng Chen defined Cao, Sun, and Liu as traitors and rebels from the perspective of justice.

Not only that, but Meng Chen praised Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu in the battle letter, but he didn't mention Zhou Yu at all. Such an obvious conspiracy made it difficult for Zhuge Liang and others to deal with it.

"Governor, Meng Chen is cunning..." Lu Su was interrupted by Zhou Yu in the middle of his sentence.

"Zijing thought that the governor was the narrow-minded person? How could he not see such an obvious scheme to sow discord?" Zhou Yu said with a smile on his face.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Yu didn't take this gauntlet seriously at all, but Lu Su felt a little displeasure from Zhou Yu's words.

After all, Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces on the bright side, and Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu can only be regarded as foils.

But it was precisely because of this that Zhou Yu felt so displeased in his heart.

In any case, Meng Chen's move planted a seed of jealousy in Zhou Yu's heart. As for when it will germinate, no one can make an accurate prediction.
