Shi Bao summoned his subordinates and General An Yuan Tang Zi to discuss without hesitation.

However, when Shi Bao's subordinates did not respond at all, they only had one sentence

"The general asked us to focus on defense, so we can defend without paying attention to the trends of Wu. It is a common thing to confront the two countries!"

It’s not that Shi Bao’s subordinates are full of wine bags, but that they are unwilling to move and are too lazy to move.

Therefore, for Sima Zhao and even the imperial court's orders, they only fulfilled the meaning on paper!

Another reason these people are not very enthusiastic about Shi Bao is that Shi Bao was born in a poor family!

When Shi Bao was young, he worked as a cattle and horse worker in Wei State. Like Deng Ai, the two of them fought to the death and became a low-level minor official.

In the 23rd year of Jian'an (218), after the failure of the Yoshimoto rebellion, the envoy Guo Xuanxin went out to work and needed a carriage to go to Yecheng. The two were recommended by the Diannong Sima to drive the car.

After some conversation, Guo Xuanxin told them

"By your talents and knowledge, you can be the prime minister in the future!"

The two were appreciated by Guo Xuanxin and promoted.

But the good times did not last long. The promotion was promotion, but the country did not have so many positions. The nobles and nobles who wanted to seek officials were waiting in line, let alone these poor children!

Therefore, although Shi Bao's man arrived in Yecheng, the case of his appointment as an official was not decided. He was not well-deserved and could only sell his iron in Yecheng!

At this time, the mayor of Yecheng, Zhao Yuanru, was known as a wise man. After seeing Shi Bao, he admired him very much and made friends with him, making him famous.

Later, after making friends, Shi Bao met Xu Yun, the Minister of Personnel, and was recommended to the court for office. However, Shi Bao was still a small official at this time, and Shi Bao did not receive much promotion in more than ten years.

During the Qinglong period of Cao Rui (233-237), he moved to Chang'an again, still looking miserable, so he returned to his old business and started selling iron in Chang'an!

This time Shi Bao met Sima Yi, the biggest nobleman in his life, and since then he soared into the sky!

Although Shi Bao is now in a high position and powerful position, because his background is not high, most of his subordinates do not have a direct lineage to serve him, so he attaches great importance to Tang Zi.

After these officials' nonsense literary performances, Shi Bao stared at Tang Zi.

Tang Zi was originally from Wei, but he killed officials and rebelled, rebelled against Wei and surrendered to Wu, and then surrendered to Wei. Therefore, he could only follow the Sima family's footsteps. As a lackey of Sima family, Shi Bao naturally wanted to join forces with people like Shi Bao to keep warm!

After learning about the movements of Wu, Tang Zi said without hesitation.

"Ding Feng, Zhuge Liang is not a good match. Taking them as the generals and soldiers on the front line, Wu Guoding made a big move!"

This coincides with Shi Bao. Shi Bao looked at Tang Zi with approval, but someone from his subordinates asked back

"So what if they do big moves? The generals come to block the water and cover the soil. I don't believe that they defeated nearly 100,000 elite troops in Juchao's front line!"

Seeing this, Tang Zi retorted

"This is a bad statement. The Wu navy is scattered across the river and is invincible in the world!"

"The army is not bad either. If Ding Feng and others lead the troops, it is really difficult to deal with. Don't underestimate the enemy!"

"Now that the Wu Kingdom has a big move, we should understand the Wu Kingdom's intentions, understand his defense, strategic purpose, etc. If the general doesn't even know these, has he never fought a war?"

Tang Zhi said that it was common sense in the military. Although he was born in a poor family, he had rich experience. He was so angry that the general turned red and his ears red.

"Of course I know that when I was fighting, you were still Wu Gou..."

"Enough! This is a military discussion, not a peddler and a pawn doing business!"

Shi Bao shouted angrily, completely suppressing the momentum of these people, and then signaled Tang Zi to continue.

Tang Zi sorted out his emotions and continued

"Ming Gong Ding did not want to take the initiative. What he is now concerned about is nothing more than the intention of the State of Wu. His deployment is unclear and he has some concerns!"

"Now the floating sea ship I have built has been completed. It is better to order my subordinates to go to Juzhang to test the intentions of Wu!"

As soon as Tang Zi finished speaking, a general sarcastically said

"You can go to sea from Xuzhou and directly harass Hailing, Guangling and other places in Yangzhou, Wu Kingdom. You actually went to Juzhang, a county in the metropolitan area?!"

"I'm so far away from the near and the far, but I still dare to say that I know the soldiers..."

This person had to say something else, but was interrupted by Shi Bao's slap.

"Shut up!"

Ju Zhang? It is indeed far away from the near, but when Shi Bao saw Tang Zi's expression as stable as Mount Tai, he immediately reacted.

‘Tang Zi’s family is in the verse chapter!’

Shi Bao slapped the table and said

"Okay, this plan is very good!"

At this time, some of Shi Bao's aides guessed Tang Zi's intentions, and they couldn't help but think of it.

‘There are also a clever plan to surrender!’

Everyone was slapped by Shi Bao and they all reacted back and forth.

Originally, when Wei State attacked Shu, his strategy for Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places was to remain calm and be ready to deal with the attack of Wu. Therefore, Shi Bao did not want to take action first. Now, it is reasonable for Tang Zi to send troops to Wu in the name of taking back his family!

In this way, small troops will not trigger a large-scale attack on the Wu Kingdom!

So on the eve of Wei’s attack on Shu, Shi Bao and Tang Zi were the first to issue an offensive order!

"I ordered the new governor Wang Zhi to cross the sea to attack Ju Zhang!"

...

Not only did Wu State move, but Jiangxia and other places also blocked the entire territory as soon as they received the news.

At this time, the general in Wuchang was Fan Shen, the governor of the left governor of Wuchang!

He likes to do things by himself in charge of the army, and he will take a look at the big and small things, so at this critical moment he personally stationed his army.

Fan Shen was born as a scholar, but he was in military affairs and had been through three dynasties.

When Sun Deng was the crown prince, Fan Shen was the guest friend of the crown prince. Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xiu, Gu Tan, and Chen Biao, who were famous all over the world, were most respected and called "The Four Friends of the Crown Prince", while Xie Jing, Fan Shen, Diao Xuan, and Yang Hui, who were slightly less famous, were called "Little Four Friends"!

Fan Shen was a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, but his status during Sun Liang's period was quite embarrassing, so Sun Liang arranged him on the front line.

He has great prestige in the army under his rule and basically has the same meaning.

"How are you ready now?"

"General, everything is ready. We have blocked the entire territory of Wuchang and sent scouts to the north. I believe we will be able to find out the details of the enemy territory soon!"

Fan Shen was speechless. As a famous scholar in the world, he had been a military general for a long time. The key is that he was actually used to being called a general!

Since you can't correct it, you can only accept it.

"Where is the other side of Xiakou?"

"Xiakou has added troops to various waterways, as for Xiakou Supervisor..."

Seeing his subordinates hesitate, Fan Shen was alert and asked quickly

"What's wrong with Xiakou Superintendent?"

"The Xiakou Governor has personally led his troops to the border!"

"What? Didn't I tell him to keep his troops and guard the waterways everywhere? What is he trying to do??"

The governor of Xiakou, Sun Xiu, was a general of the royal family, and his grandfather Sun Kuang was the fourth son of Sun Jian. Although this man was not as powerful as his great-grandfather Sun Jian, he was quite brave.

He has been in Xiakou for many years and is familiar with border affairs. He actually led hundreds of corpses to investigate the border north without hiding the court!

The northward along the Yangtze River in Xiakou is Shangxu City in Jiangxia County, Wei State. In the second year of Jiaping (250), Wang Ji believed that a strong navy must be established in a place where "water and land farming" was "weather and land farming". The water surface around Shangchang Water City was vast, which could not only be used for drills by the navy, but also provided food and fresh food.

Moreover, this place is close to Xiakou of Wu, less than a hundred miles away from the border. If there is war, Wei will move the capital to Shangxu City!

At this moment, the reed marsh on the border of Wu State was quiet. Although there was no change, occasionally a flock of birds frightened out, and saw the water flowing in the distance, like a figure, and the reeds fell into dead silence again!

After a few seconds, a figure appeared and it turned out to be two ships of soldiers from Wei State!

The brisk boat they were riding was a brisk boat, with about twenty people in each boat, and this group was about forty people, and should be led by a treasury leader.

This location is located on the borders of the two countries and is originally a buffer zone. Wang Ji moved the capital to Shangchang Shui City to attack instead of defense. Therefore, soldiers from Wei came to patrol at times!

One of them sighed and said

"Now that the country has deployed troops in the western border, I am afraid that a great war with Shu Kingdom is about to be imminent. I wonder if Jiang Xia will be involved at that time?"

"What are you afraid of? This time our country is attacking Shu. Even if Wu wants to move, it will be a good example. It is impossible for him to really attack!"

"And so what if I call it?"

The internal worry was just suppressed by the garrison, but another person whispered

"A fellow villager in my country was transferred to Luoyang. It is said that the country has dispatched more than 100,000 troops from all over the country. If the Wu Kingdom comes to attack, I am afraid that we will face the powerful enemy head-on!"

"I heard that the Wu people are very good at water. They will first send people to lurk in the water and drill through the hull. When we are floating, we will walk towards us and kill us!"

Nowadays, there has been no war on the front line of Jingzhou for more than ten years, so naturally many new recruits have joined. They inevitably have a war-weariness, which has directly affected the rest of the ship!

After hearing this, the chief of Tun was furious and immediately beaten him with a big bib.

"Idiot, the people from Wu are from Jiangxia, so why don't we?"

When the new recruit was beaten like this, he was stunned at first, and then he seemed to have opened the Ren and Du meridians, and said excitedly
