The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 250 There Are Really Immortals in This World

Back then, Sun Ce didn't like Yu Ji, saying he was a monster like Zhang Jiao, instigating people's hearts, and wanted to kill him.Whether it was Sun Ce's mother's dissuasion, or Zhang Zhao and dozens of people's joint begging, Sun Ce would never agree, and insisted on killing this monster.

Lu Fan said: "Now it's drought, why don't you let Taoist Yu try to pray for rain, if you can pray for rain, let's treat him as atonement!"

Sun Ce then asked Yu Ji to go up to the altar to pray for rain, and ordered to pile dry firewood under the altar, saying: "If there is no rain at noon, I will set fire to this demon."

As a result, at noon, the wind suddenly rose, the clouds were dense, thunder and lightning struck, and heavy rain fell. In an instant, the streets became rivers, the streams were full, and there were three feet of sweet rain.

Yu Ji yelled again, the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, and the sun was seen again.

All the officials and the people quickly helped Yu Ji to get off the woodpile, and then worshiped and thanked him.But Sun Quan saw that the officials and the people were kneeling in the water, regardless of their clothes, and became even angrier. He scolded: "Sunny days and rainy days are predestined by the heavens. How dare you take this opportunity to deceive the world!"

Then, Sun Ce ordered Yuji to be beheaded.

Later, Sun Ce could see Yu Ji's shadow no matter where he went, and he was tortured to death, so the matter of Yu Ji became a big taboo in Jiangdong.

In fact, Sun Ce killed Yu Ji in the first place to consolidate his rule, because he had just gained a foothold in Jiangdong, and of course he didn't want such a figure admired by officials and people to appear on his site.But Sun Ce's methods were too direct and cruel, killing many celebrities and leaving behind many hidden dangers.

When Yu Ji prayed for rain, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu both saw it with their own eyes. Since someone can pray for rain, it is not impossible that someone can borrow the wind!
And it is said that the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army at the time, knew magic spells, could call wind and rain, and scattered beans into soldiers.

So, it's not impossible!

Sun Quan said: "If that Zhang Wu really has such a godly means, then how can we deal with it!"

Sun Quan can't help but not worry, this ability to change the wind direction at any time is very useful in war, especially Jiangdong is already in the lower reaches, if the battle against the Jingzhou army is against the wind, half of the battle will be lost before it even starts .

Zhou Yu is also very worried. If it is as he guessed, it will be really difficult in the future.The current Jingzhou is not the Jingzhou in Liu Biao's time. It is no worse than Jiangdong in terms of military strength or economic strength, and even stronger than Jiangdong.

Then Cao Cao fought in the north and south for so many years, and defeated the major princes in the north, but was defeated by Zhang Wu one after another.And Jiangdong had been pressing down on Jingzhou before, but now he has never taken advantage of Zhang Wu.

The situation has changed!

Zhou Yu said: "My lord, if my predictions are correct, Zhang Wu may soon come to attack me in Jiangdong!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Quan was shocked again. In his impression, Jiangdong had always taken the initiative to attack Jingzhou. How dare Jingzhou come to attack Jiangdong on his own initiative?

"Gongjin, didn't you say that Zhang Wu just defeated Cao Cao? Even if Jingzhou wins, you have to rest for a while. Besides, I don't have a navy in Jiangdong like Cao Cao. Our navy in Jiangdong is the strongest in the world. Jingzhou How dare you take the initiative to attack?"

"My lord, as far as I know, this time Zhang Wu defeated Cao Cao, he didn't lose much. Cao Cao's 20 troops were buried in the sea of ​​flames. After this battle, it is impossible for Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou again. I guess Cao Cao will die in this life." I dare not take the Han River to attack Xiangyang anymore. With Zhang Wu’s ambition, he must not be reconciled to defending Jingzhou, and if Jingzhou wants to expand, he can only go west or east. Although Cao Cao was defeated, he was defeated in water battles. It is still number one in the world. If Zhang Wu goes to Yizhou, he will be worried about our army attacking him, so he will attack Jiangdong first."

Sun Quan can also be regarded as a hero of a generation. After Zhou Yu said this, he could understand it immediately.Zhang Wu is indeed not a person who is willing to guard Jingzhou. In just a few years, he has mixed from a deputy Jiang Xia with a job but no authority to the Jingzhou governor who is now in charge of the power of Jingzhou. During this period, he has experienced many fierce battles.

This person is indeed an ambitious person, otherwise he would not have recruited so many advisers and generals, and it is estimated that even Liu Bei and his group were schemed by him.

In fact, the situation in Jiangdong is similar to that of Jingzhou, and there is no way to expand to the north, because Jiangnan in this period is much worse than the north, and Jiangdong's current development level is much worse than Jingzhou.If you want to expand your power, you can only annex your neighbors.

Most of the several unifications in Chinese history were completed from north to south. In the end, the reason was no more than geographical, economic, and cultural differences. The north has always been ahead of the south.But it was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang realized the unification from south to north, because at this time, the south was already more developed than the north.

Sun Quan also realized that there must be a battle between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, a decisive battle, a decisive battle related to life and death.Whoever can win will be able to take full advantage of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and draw the river with the north to rule.And the loser will either surrender or be driven to death.

Fighting for world hegemony is not a game. If you win, you will gain power, and the final big winner will win the world, but you will also lose badly. Just look at the Yuan family and Lu Bu.

And Sun Quan is not a person who is willing to surrender to others as a subordinate. He is also ambitious. Even if he cannot dominate the world, he must at least occupy half of the country.What's more, Jiangdong and Jingzhou have been fighting for more than ten years, and the two sides have already had a deep blood feud.

But when he thought that Zhang Wu might change the direction of the wind with immortal methods, Sun Quan became a little anxious.

When Jiangdong and Jingzhou were at war in the past, they didn't care whether it was a tailwind or a headwind, because they were already downstream, and there were many ways to prevent the enemy from setting fire to their ships.For example, use a pole to prop away the fire boat released by the enemy, or rely on your own water army control boat technology to avoid it, etc.

Moreover, the former Jingzhou navy was not an opponent of the Jiangdong navy at all. Every time they were beaten by the Jiangdong navy, they fled to the city in a hurry.It can be said that as soon as the warships of both sides approach, the water battle is basically over.

But the combat power of the Jingzhou navy is no worse than that of the Jiangdong navy, especially Gan Ning, the prefect of Jiangxia, whose water combat ability is even stronger than that of the general of the Jiangdong navy.

The most important thing is that that shameless Zhang Wu would release poisonous smoke every time he fights.

"Gong Jin, if our army really has a decisive battle with the Jingzhou navy, how can we deal with it?" Sun Quan asked.

Zhou Yu has been thinking about this issue since he received the news of Cao's army's defeat, because if his guess is correct, then the Jingzhou navy is really very powerful now.Cao Cao's use of iron chains to deal with Zhang Wu was suicidal, but Zhang Wu's use of iron chains to deal with Jiangdong was very effective.

The biggest shortcoming of the iron chain ship is that it is afraid of fire attack. Now that Jingzhou is already upstream, and the wind direction can be changed at any time, the Jiangdong army cannot set fire.

On the contrary, the Jiangdong Army had to be on guard against the Jingzhou Army setting fire at all times, so the Jiangdong Army would never dare to use iron chains to fight the Jingzhou Army, otherwise Cao Cao's 20 troops would be a lesson from the past.
