Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh: not optimistic
After the statistics of the war loss were released, the Alliance of Princes, whether it was Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, all had dark faces and looked extremely ugly.
The war losses between the two sides almost reached a two-to-one number.
If they continue to fight according to this battle loss rate, they would probably not have much combat power left in their hands before they could conquer Jiangdong.
This kind of combat loss rate is something they can't accept at all.
Liu Biao couldn't help but ask Huang Zu with a dark face: "Huang Zu, we obviously have the advantage of military strength, why did we fight like this?"
Huang Zu's face turned red and green, and his face turned green, so ugly that it was, and sweat dripped down his forehead.
He is a veteran of the navy, but he can't beat a young boy. It's really embarrassing to tell him.
After a while, Huang Zu said with a blushing face: "Lord, the boy in Jiangdong is very cunning. His subordinates have committed the reason to underestimate the enemy, so they are deceived. Please rest assured, lord, you will never do it in the future."
Liu Biao's face looked a little better, and he asked Huang Zu again: "Then we will go to war with the Jiangdong Navy tomorrow, can you completely crush them?"
Ga?
Huang Zuqiqi had a long time of embarrassment before saying with difficulty: "Lord, if you fight again tomorrow, the winner is probably unknown!"
Liu Biao said with a dark face: "Didn't you just say that you wouldn't be a mistake of underestimating the enemy? Why is the outcome now an unknown number?"
Huang Zu said helplessly: "Lord, but our new navy army is much worse than the new navy army in Jiangdong."
"I believe you have seen it today. Our soldiers can't even stand firmly on the warships, and they can easily fall if they are too fast. On the other hand, the new naval army in Jiangdong, except for the lack of tacit cooperation, their personal combat power is really too strong! So, if the war starts again, it will be difficult for us to win for a while!"
Well, well, this is indeed a fact!
In other words, if they continue to fight, they may lose more and more people, and they will eventually lose this water battle.
This is something they absolutely do not allow!
But Jiangdong must be taken down, and Lu Bu must be removed.
So what they have to do now is to train the navy as soon as possible.
Finally, after discussion, the alliance of princes decided to replenish the navy to 200,000 people again.
The Jiangdong Navy lost more than 20,000 people, and now there are about 120,000 people.
I believe that it will be difficult for them to replenish the number of people in a short period of time.
As long as their 200,000 naval troops are thoroughly trained, I believe they will be able to crush the Jiangdong naval troops.
The number of people this time was all drawn from Yuan Shao's troops, and it was voluntarily owned by Yuan Shao.
The reason was that I heard that I wanted to add the number of people to the new navy army. The other princes were unhappy and were unwilling to continue to increase their troops.
Finally, Yuan Shao waved his hand and decisively stated that he would fill in all the gaps.
In fact, Yuan Shao did this not because he was great, but because Yuan Shao had his ambitions.
Yuan Shao wanted to seize the four counties in Jiangdong alone.
If he could occupy the four counties of Jiangdong, relying on Jizhou, Yuan Shao could quickly draw Jingzhou. Once Jingzhou was taken down, he would take over Yizhou.
By then, it can be said that Yuan Shao’s hegemony has been achieved and he will be invincible in the world!
If you want to capture the four counties of Jiangdong, you must have a navy army.
Now Yuan Shao has seen the role of the navy and really wants to have his own navy.
Therefore, when the other princes refused, Yuan Shao took the initiative to stand up and used his soldiers to replenish the navy with righteousness.
Once trained, Yuan Shao will have 60,000 to 70,000 navy troops!
Seeing that Yuan Shao agreed so happily, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others became suspicious.
Hey, it’s not right. Yuan Shao’s slutty promised so easily?
There must be something tricky here!
These people are all human geniuses, and they quickly guessed what Yuan Shao thought and couldn't help but get shocked.
But firstly, they are not good at striking the situation again, and secondly, their troops are really not large and they cannot continue to lose their troops.
Therefore, in the end, I could only pinch my nose and admit this fact, but everyone was making their own plans in their hearts.
...
In Jiangdong, Xun Yu happily patted Zhou Yu's shoulder and said, "Gongjin, this great victory is all your contribution. It's really awesome for the younger generation!"
Guo Jia also said: "Although Gongjin is young, he is no longer inferior to us when it comes to strategy! In the future, you must not treat Gongjin as a child!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Zhou Yu's little face turned red and he couldn't help but say, "You are all Yu's elders. You love Yu too much, so Yu must not be accused of it."
"Besides, today's battle losses were not even achieved by 2-1, which can be said to be very defeated, and Yu had no eyes to say that he had achieved a great victory!"
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Pang Tong couldn't help laughing and said, "Gongjin, you are too modest, right? You have to know that this is a water battle. You can't compare the land battle results led by the lord with the water battle?"
"If we were asked to command this water battle, I'm afraid that none of us would achieve your record at all! This water battle is the first person to be named, it's really you!"
Lu Bu asked with a smile: "Gongjin, if we continue to fight, how sure are you to win?"
Hearing Lu Bu’s inquiry, Zhou Yu said seriously: “Lord, no one dares to say that he is sure to win in any battle. But, there is still 80% sure!”
Lu Bu knew that although Zhou Yu was very proud, he would not speak too much.
Zhou Yu said that if he is 80% sure of winning, the winning rate should be more than 90%.
With a 90% confidence, although the loss of troops is very terrible, it is much better than being attacked by them to the four counties of Jiangdong.
Just when Lu Bu was about to encourage Zhou Yu and let him continue his efforts, he heard Zhou Yu say:
"Lord, if the coalition of princes avoids war and does not fight with us, they focus on training the navy. When their navy is trained, the loser will be us."
Um?
how so?
Lu Bu couldn't help but ask in a voice: "Gongjin, why do you say that? Let's talk about it carefully."
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Lord, the biggest advantage of the alliance of princes is that they are large in number. I think they will be able to gather 200,000 naval troops soon. But we, Jiangdong, fight a little less, and we can't compare with them at all."
The last time the navy recruited, it seemed that there were a lot of people who signed up, and even if they recruited another 100,000 people, it would be fine.
But if you recruit more soldiers, there will be no labor among the people. Without labor, you will not be able to plant so much land and the harvest will decrease.
This is a vicious cycle. It can be said that Lu Bu's military strength has basically reached a limit now.
Until the moment of life and death, Lu Bu will not continue to recruit troops.
In terms of military strength, there is really no way to compare with the alliance of princes.
