The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 80 One is not as good as one

"No." Sun Shao shook his head: "This time and that time. At present, the most important thing is to fight against Cao Wei. I, Jiang Dong, am not strong enough, so I have to make a perfect request. After this difficulty, it is not too late to think about other things. He suddenly smiled and raised the cup to signal: "I believe that with the supreme knowledge and the power of you, you will always find a solution."

Lv Meng couldn't laugh or cry. After a long time, you didn't have a solution. It was all in vain.

"It's better to retreat and make a net than to envy the fish in the abyss. No matter how good the strategy is, if it is not practical, what's the point? The marriage plan dare not be said to last for a long time, at least it can solve the present dilemma. If there is a better way to solve it, why should we run all the way to Nanjun to see Guan Yu's face? If things are not harmonious, not only will we be humiliated, but the supreme will feel that there is no light on the face.

Lv Meng was so angry that he directly slapped him in the face. Aren't you awesome? If you have the ability to do it, we will go back. We will propose marriage because you are incompetent, so we have a hot face to stick to other people's cold buttocks. Sun Shao circled around, and finally the responsibility returned to his Lv Meng.

Seeing Lv Meng's thicker and pale face, Zhang Cheng quickly rounded up his glass and said, "Mr. Fu, I heard that you were injured in the last battle of Hefei, have you ever recovered?"

Lv Meng smiled awkwardly. Zhang Cheng was originally a good word, but when Lv Meng heard it, he was suspected of exposing his old background. Aren't you a cow? Why were you beaten by 7,000 people in the First World War in Hefei? He blushed and had to raise his glass to cover his face and said, "Thank you, Zhong Si, for your concern. Fortunately, it's better, but it hasn't been good, and it has relapsed from time to time."

"You'd better pay attention to rest and don't be too tired." Zhang Cheng said sincerely, "The governor is the pillar of Jiangdong, and he is the supreme person who wants to entrust the heavy responsibility. He should take care of the country."

"I dare not." Lv Meng's face looked better, and he never looked at Sun Shao again. Sun Shao didn't care. He drank wine by himself.

After saying goodbye to Lv Meng and returning to the ship, Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Fengxian, Lv Meng has this temper. Why do you have to be serious with him?"

Sun Shao was silent. He rubbed the knife ring on his waist and looked at the wide river outside the cabin, and his eyes looked quite deep. When Zhang Cheng saw that he was distracted, he did not interrupt his thoughts. After a long time, Sun Shao sighed and said, "Brother Zhong Si, Lv Meng is a hero, but his vision is a little narrow."

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment and looked up at Sun Shao, waiting for his further explanation.

"In today's world, in addition to the Gongsun family in Liaodong, the numerical power, that is, the three families of Sun Cao and Liu. Cao Wei occupies the Central Plains and has the strongest strength. Whether it is Jiangdong or Liu Bei, it is very difficult to read and deal with Cao Wei. Liu Bei occupies Yizhou, which is more or less beneficial. Even if he can't make a big deal out, he can still hold on for a while. But what about my Jiangdong? Over the years, it seems that many battles have been won, but the footprints have not been too far away from the Yangtze River, and many famous ministers have passed away. Will the supreme be satisfied with the separation of Jiangdong? Can he cede Jiangdong if he wants to cede Jiangdong? Our biggest enemy is Cao Wei, not Liu Bei. Of course, there will be a fight between Sun and Liu, but in the current situation, we must focus on the combination and take the fight as the supplement. Otherwise, won't it be a waste of time? If the Supreme doesn't think so, why should he divide Jingzhou with Liu Bei the year before last? It is reasonable to destroy Liu Bei in one fell swoop when Cao Qian attacked Hanzhong. He doesn't do this, just focusing on the overall situation. Unfortunately, Lv Meng has been fighting for many years. As a confidant of the supreme, he can't feel the painstaking efforts of the supreme.

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and was sad. He gently tapped the lacquer case and sighed, "Isn't it like this? It's just that these generals all focus on their own interests. They want to fight and eat the city. Otherwise, what's the reason to raise so many soldiers? Once people focus on profit, their eyes are inevitably short-sighted. If the north is blocked, you can only enter from the west, which is also a helpless thing.

Sun Shao also smiled bitterly, and he also heard some other ingredients from Zhang Cheng's voice. In the eventful autumn, the war is still frequent, and the generals are favored. Lv Meng and these people all came across the river. They had no property in the south of the Yangtze River. Sun Quan gave them a privilege, that is, the world military system. Most of the soldiers led by Lv Meng and others are private soldiers, which, like titles, can be inherited. In order to make them able to support these soldiers, Sun Quan gave them Shiyi. For example, Lv Meng's Shiyi is Yangxin and Xunyang counties, and the taxes of these two counties are all his. The more achievements you have, the more soldiers you lead, and the more Shiyi you enjoy. For example, when Zhou Yu was alive, there were Shiyi in four counties. After Zhou Yu's death, because Zhou Xun was young, he could not inherit it for the time being. More than 4,000 private soldiers belonging to Zhou Yu were all left to Lu Su, including Shiyi in these four counties. Now that Zhou Xun has grown up, it is difficult for Sun Quan to get these soldiers and food from Lu Su, and he will allocate another compensation to Zhou Xun. Of course, these compensations cannot be in full. If Zhou Xun wants to restore Zhou Yu's strength, he must continue to fight and win, so that there will be more soldiers and more food.

Similarly, if Lv Meng wants more wealth, he must fight and win the battle. There is no chance to win the war in the north. If they want to win the war, they can only go west. Although Lv Meng's plan is not all selfishness, it is undeniable that selfishness is a very important reason.

Compared with the generals, the treatment of literary ministers like Zhang Zhao is much worse. They have no soldiers to take, so they don't have so many food fields. They can only be rewarded with some fields by Sun Quan, which can't be compared with the food cities of the generals in several counties, not to mention that Zhang Zhao has been treated coldly by Sun Quan recently.

At the head of the word Li, people are inevitably impatient and short-sighted. Zhou Yu, the three governors of Jiangdong, is a radical. He wants to take Yizhou and rule the river with Cao. Lu Su is a steady faction. He promotes seeking common things and reserving differences with Yizhou, focusing on cooperation. Compared with Zhou Yu, he is less generous, but he still has vision. Compared with Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Lv Meng doesn't even have this vision. He is eager to take back Jingzhou from Liu Bei, because taking back Jingzhou is the most practical benefit. If Zhou Yu and Lu Su still want to be enterprising and think about the Central Plains, Lv Meng has no idea of the Central Plains at all. In the face of the powerful Cao Wei, what he thought was to keep Jiangdong and his vested interests. Therefore, it is much more practical to get rid of Guan Yu, an unreliable neighbor, than to be enterprising.

They no longer look at problems from the perspective of the overall situation in the world, and they can't see these.

Zhang Zhao can see it. His hometown is Pengcheng, and his roots are in Xuzhou. In Jiangdong, he will always be a guest. If he doesn't want to bury his bones in a foreign country, he will go back to Pengcheng. He hopes to see the unification of the world. As for whether it is Cao Yan or Sun Quan who unified the world, it is not so important to him.

"Once we send troops to Jingzhou, we turn against each other. It seems that we all occupy the middle and lower reaches of the river, and the gate in the west is safe. However, our front line is also too long. At that time, I'm afraid that we will be left and right, poor to deal with it, let alone enterprising."

Sun Shao sighed, drank all the wine in the glass, walked out of the cabin, and roared in the wind.

Zhang Cheng looked at Sun Shao's straight back and tasted Sun Shao's words just now. Suddenly, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. He hesitated for a moment, walked out of the cabin, stood side by side with Sun Shao, and asked softly, "Fengxian, do you think we can do this mission?"

Sun Shao turned his head and looked at Zhang Cheng seriously. After looking at it for a long time, he said word by word, "If you still want to win the world, you must do it."
