Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 441 Jiangdong's decision

In fact, Liu Bei was quite clear in his heart that sooner or later they would have another decisive battle with Cao Jun, and the matter would have a result. If this dragged on, it would not be good for Cao Jun, nor would it be a good thing for them.

But he has never dared to think about it. After all, their current army is much smaller than that of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao completely crushes them in terms of numbers.

So he always felt uneasy and didn't dare to think about the decisive battle with Cao Jun. Unexpectedly, Han Yang had already thought of this, and it was still in progress. It has to be said that Han Yang's thinking was ahead of his.

This can also be seen from the side, the biggest gap between him and Han Yang is that Han Yang dares to think about things that Liu Bei dare not think about.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"Uncle Liu Huang, don't forget that although Cao's army has 70 troops, we also have a lot of soldiers and horses."

"We have 8 people on our side, 14 on Jiangdong's side, and behind us, there are [-] Xiliang troops. In addition to their Cao Jun's expedition, they are already exhausted. In fact, we still have many advantages. " Han Yang said.

Hearing these Liu Bei felt a lot better, indeed they have a lot of advantages now.

"Well, since General Han said so, I, Liu Bei, have nothing to say. Everything in Jingzhou is arranged by General Han." Liu Bei also wanted to understand, and let Han Yang deal with these matters, after all. The Jingzhou City was taken down by Han Yang in the first place.

Therefore, he believed that Han Yang would take it seriously and would have foolproof means and methods.

On the other side, in the direction of Jiangdong on the opposite side of the river.

Liu Peng adjusted the entire Jiangdong navy to the best condition, and found Sun Ce again.

"General Sun, it's time for us to have a decisive battle with Cao Jun," Liu Peng said.

Hearing these words, Sun Ce couldn't help being taken aback, it seemed very sudden.

Because in his opinion, they should still be in a confrontation with Cao Jun. Although they Jiangdong has recovered now, in fact he is not yet ready for a decisive battle.

After all, after Zhou Yu's incident last time, their losses in Jiangdong were very serious, at least in terms of the number of troops.

And the Cao army led by Yu Jin, who faced them, had a great blow to their morale after repeated blows, but in fact, no matter what, they still had 30 horses in their hands.

But as for them, even though they have recently replenished their troops, the actual army is still pitifully small. It is not the right time for a decisive battle at this time.

"Governor, isn't it inappropriate for us to have a decisive battle with Cao Jun now? Isn't it too late?" Sun Ce said.

Liu Peng smiled softly.

"General Sun, I know what you are thinking. You think our army is relatively small, so we are not the opponent of Cao Jun, right?"

Sun Ce didn't speak, just nodded slightly, which was exactly what he meant.

Use 5 people to beat 30 people. Although they are very powerful in the world, they can't help it. Cao Jun doesn't go into the water at all, so he won't fight with you on the water, but if they go on land, they He is not Cao Jun's opponent at all.

Liu Peng smiled slightly and continued.

"General Sun, judging from the current situation, how many troops do you think we need to be suitable for a decisive battle with the opponent?"

Regarding Liu Peng's question, Sun Ce thought about it for a long time, but in the end he didn't have an answer.

Liu Peng continued.

"General Sun, the Cao army on the opposite side of us has 30 troops. In your opinion, how many soldiers and horses do we need to deal with them? One hundred thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand, or two hundred thousand. General Sun, let me ask you again, if we want to deal with them now How long will it take to replenish the number of troops to this number."

"One year, two years, or longer, General Sun, you have to understand that the longer it takes, the worse it will be for us."

"If Cao Cao trains a powerful navy in two or five years, then we will be really in danger."

"The longer we delay, the more opportunities we will give Cao Jun."

Hearing Liu Peng's words, Sun Ce's expression gradually became serious.

Indeed, what Liu Peng said was the truth, and the longer it took, the worse it would be for them.

It is indeed not an easy task to train a powerful navy.

But if Cao Cao stepped up his training in a year, two years or even longer, Cao Jun would definitely adapt to the environment here and be able to train a strong navy. By then, Jiangdong would be really dangerous .

Thinking of the seriousness on Sun Ce's face here, he also understands that it's better to do this kind of thing as soon as possible, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for them.

"General Sun, my lord once said something, he said that the army is not about quantity, but about quality."

"I think General Sun knew about my lord's battle against the princes of the 5000th Route back then. At that time, my lord only had 50 troops in his hands, but the coalition army of the princes had nearly [-] horses. But in the end, I think it's me Not to mention that General Sun also knows."

"So, the strength of an army does not lie in quantity, but in essence."

"Although we only have an army of more than 5 now, it is actually not difficult to deal with the 30 Cao army on the opposite side."

"As long as the command is proper and the plan is perfect, it is absolutely possible to win."

"Besides, we don't have to eliminate their 30 people. Our goal is to hold them back and buy time for Jingzhou. When my lord and Cao Cao are fighting, Yu Jin can't support them immediately."

Seeing his own suggestions, Liu Peng spoke out.

Hearing this, Sun Ce couldn't help being taken aback.

"Governor, do you mean that General Han in Jingzhou is going to have a decisive battle with Cao Cao?" Thinking of this, Sun Ce suddenly became interested.

"Yes, General Sun, my lord has already started to make preparations. The battle in Jingzhou will start soon, so I wonder if we should also respond." Liu Peng said.

Hearing these words, Sun Ce's face became firmer, "Alright, Commander-in-Chief, I will leave this matter to you, you have the final say on everything, and you can decide when to attack Cao Jun. "

Sun Ce expressed his attitude immediately, and he also understood that if Han Yang wanted to do something in Jingzhou, they had to respond.

When the battle starts in Jingzhou, if they don't respond, Yu Jin will definitely lead troops to support.

In that case, Jingzhou might be in danger.

So no matter what, as long as the battle of Jingzhou starts, they have to attack in response even if they put on a show.
