Yuan Shu saw that the people in the tent were all drooping their heads and not speaking, and he couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart.

"Speak!" Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you speak one by one?" Dumb! ”

Liu Xun took a deep breath and stood up for work.

"General, today's battle is not a crime of war, it is really the carelessness of our army, we look down on the defenders of Jinling, and hastily raise troops, so we have this defeat."

Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he was a little unhappy.

Hastily raising troops, only to have this defeat?

What do you mean by this, is it possible, or is it my fault?

Liu Xun saw that Yuan Shu was silent, and then said: "General Hou, as the last general expected, today's situation, presumably long before the potters came to Jinling City, they already had a plan and a plan...... This son had definitely expected that the main guild would attack Jinling City. ”

Yuan Shu frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Xun pondered the words for a while, and continued: "Jinling defenders, war horses, everyone wears armor, such a large number of armor builds, even if the potters have Jinling iron ore to support, but in terms of people's labor, the potters must have mobilized all of Danyang County, only when all the staff prepare for a year, he can accumulate so many armor and weapons, in order to be able to surprise them in this battle, to fight against our army......"

Speaking of this, Liu Xun paused and said, "General, if the general's expectations are good, the general's attack on Jinling may only be temporary, but the pottery merchant may have already started to prepare for today's battle a year ago." ”

Yuan Shu was silent when he heard this, and his face was not good.

Doesn't this make it clear that he is not as good as a potter.

This is what Liu Xun said, because Yuan Shu and Liu Xun have known each other since they were young, and it would be better if they were replaced by someone else......

The three-layer skin is not enough for Yuan Shu.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was silent and silent, Liu Xun admonished again: "My subordinates implore the general to withdraw his troops." ”

Yuan Shu's complexion changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Liu Xun explained to Yuan Shu without hurry: "Yuan Gong, although our army has many soldiers, most of them are new pawns, and they are not of great use, and the potters have already prepared, this battle is in the lead, we are inferior, but what the potters have is just a county, its population is less than 600,000, the lord occupies Nanyang, Runan, Yingchuan, Jiujiang, Lujiang five counties of land, the population is millions, how can it be compared with the potters?" The person it relies on, but the soldier armor and heavy cavalry, to the end of the general, the potter for a year to prepare for the war, the recruitment of the people to smelt iron, but this move will not last long, after all, Danyang eighteen counties, road repair, bridge repair, people's livelihood, fishing and animal husbandry all need people, the population is there, the potter smelts iron for a year, is the limit, and then the armor will not be more. ”

After a pause, Liu Xun said again: "As for the iron-armored heavy horse, although it is fierce, but the speed is too slow, and it can't last, and the last general sees that its horse's hooves are exposed outside the heavy armor, as long as it can cut off its horse's hooves, this army is not afraid, and compared with Lu Bu's wolf cavalry, it is really far behind, and the last general will go back and draw out an army to train alone, and it will definitely break this heavy horse!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xun said: "In addition, with the combat strength of Sun Jian's relict army, in fact, it should not be under the leadership of Jin, but the lord treats him very poorly...... This time back, if the lord can treat it with all his heart, take his heart, attach it with fine armor, and arm the Sun soldiers and horses with the wealth of Huainan, a year later, it will be above the golden army of the potter, and at that time, our new army is also a drill, and the means shown by the potter, our army is also fully aware of it, and today's panic will not be repeated, so that a year later, Jinling City is at your fingertips! ”

Among them, Yan Xiang listened and couldn't help but nod his head in his heart.

Liu Xun does have the talent of a general, if he really arranges the arrangement as he said, a year later, it is not difficult to conquer Jinling City.

But it is clear that Yuan Shu does not intend to adopt Liu Xun's best policy.

"Go back!" Yuan Shu said coldly.

"Huh? This ......" Liu Xun was a little confused, and didn't understand why Yuan Shu was so disobedient.

"Yuan Mouxing soldiers came here, but he didn't make an inch, so he returned to Nanyang...... How can you meet the people of the world? Don't quit yet! ”

When Liu Xun heard this, he sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Yuan Shu glanced at the rest of the people coldly, and said, "How to break the pottery thief, who can teach me?" ”

The crowd bowed their heads again and remained silent.

No squeak? Can you dodge without squeaking?

Yuan Shu's eyes widened, and he carefully looked around at the people around him, and his teeth creaked.

Eventually, he set his sights on the main bookkeeper Yan Xiang again.

Yan Xiang's heart seemed to be shattered in an instant.

Ancestors...... Can we look at me for everything?

There are dozens of people squatting in this handsome tent, can't you turn your head and look at them?

Every time someone doesn't squeak and comes to me, do I owe you or what?

In Yan Xiang's mind, almost 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping at this moment.

But obviously, Yan Xiang's thoughts Yuan Shu didn't know at all.

He was still there, staring at Yan Xiang vigorously.

Yan Xiang now wanted to step forward and give Yuan Shu a big ear scraper, and scolded him loudly: Look at your mother!

It's a pity he doesn't have the guts of this dog.

Under the gaze of Yuan Shu's gaze, Yan Xiang really couldn't stand it, and if he didn't stand up and say something at this moment, I am afraid it would be difficult to pass perfunctorily.

Yan Xiang sighed in his heart, then stepped out of the class, gave a deep salute to Yuan Shu, and said with a straight face: "General, if you don't follow Liu Gong's words and continue to fight with the Jinling Army, no matter what, my army will not be able to please you." ”

Yuan Shu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and recalled carefully, vaguely remembering that Yan Xiang had mentioned to himself before he sent out the army to win the water war, but because of the large number of soldiers under his command, coupled with the letter that the pottery merchant had written to him before the war, Yuan Shu was really dizzy, so he forgot himself for a while, and only cared about attacking the wet whisker dock, but completely left behind the most beneficial tactics......

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu also restrained his irritable mood, and humbly asked Yan Xiang for advice: "Then, as Master Yan said at the beginning - water war, Yuan will definitely be able to defeat the potter?" ”

Yan Xiang nodded affirmatively, and said: "In the land of Yangzhou, water warfare is the first, but the main warships in Yangzhou are hoarded by Chen Wen in various docks in Jiujiang County, and now Shouchun has been obtained by Yuan Gong, with the benefit of Jiujiang Dock, it is not difficult to cross the Yangtze River and approach Jinling, and his subordinates have already explored it in advance, although Danyang County also has a little warship reserves, but the pottery merchants do not have enough naval troops to control, this is a conclusive matter, if the general wants to fight, there is no need to wait!" With the navy across the Chaohu Lake into the river, directly to Jinling City, forgive the potter can only look at the river and sigh, helpless. ”

Yuan Shu gritted his forehead, slapped his right palm with his left hand, and hissed: "Okay, since this is the case, Yuan will have the right to allow the potter's thieves to run rampant for a few more days!" ”

He turned his head and called, "Qiaorui! ”

Qiao Rui stepped out of the class and said to Yuan Shu: "General! ”

"Quickly send people back to the ports of Jiujiang County, and requisition the warships in the dock to gather in Chaohu, Yuan Mou this time, he will cross the Yangtze River from the waterway to Jinling City, and completely destroy the pottery merchant Xiaoer!"

"No!"

……

……

The Wet Whisker Dock, the residence of the potter.

Guo Jia had just arrived from Jinling City today, and the prodigal son Yu Xuwu did not directly participate in the battle, but was ordered by the potters to go to the county towns under Danyang County to requisition the available ships in the docks in the county.

"Have all the ships in Danyang County that can participate in the water war been requisitioned?" The potter asked Guo Jiadao.

Guo Jia shook the wine lord in his hand, sighed and said: "The requisition has been deployed, and there are about three hundred large and small ships that can be used for water warfare. ”

The potter was silent.

After a while, I heard him say: "How many warships can Yuan Shu recruit?" ”

Guo Jia raised his head, drank all the wine in the wine jue, and said slowly: "Jiujiang County is the seat of Yangzhou Thorn Shi Chen Wen, and most of the warships in Yangzhou are hoarded in Jiujiang County, roughly calculated, it should also be above six or seven hundred." ”

The potter blinked, made a rough calculation, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the water battle is not necessarily the number of warships, but the strength of the sailors, we may not lose this battle." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily at the pottery merchant.

Is this kid deliberately paralyzing himself?

"It's quite easy for you to say, then Guo Mou will ask you, does Prince Taiping think that the soldiers and horses under his command are all proficient in water warfare?"

The potter's face sank when he heard this.

The illusion was ruthlessly shattered by Guo Jia.

Half an hour later......

"Even if my army is not good at water warfare, is it possible that the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu's command are proficient in water warfare?"

Guo Jia said to Tao Shang word by word: "Okay, then even Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are not proficient in water warfare, but the number of his warships is here, how many people can Tao Gongzi's three hundred warships carry into the river?" How many people can Yuan Shu's seven or eight hundred warships carry on the river? The number of people in battle is different, how can you resist Yuan Shu's offensive? ”

The potter frowned, and emphasized: "But the defenders of my Jinling City, in terms of equipment, can be described as excellent. ”

Guo Jia's words directly punctured the illusion of the potter: "Since the prince of Taiping doesn't understand water warfare, then please don't talk nonsense, on the river, which soldier have you ever seen who can wear heavy armor?" Water warfare is different from land warfare, especially we have fewer big ships, they are all small boats, and the sailors are mainly dexterous, otherwise how to rock the oar? How do I put the sails? And how do you make a boat have a shallow draft? If your heavy armor is put on and boarded, it will not be able to move in the middle of the river! Not to mention that you are not proficient in water, even if you are proficient in water, if you fall into the water, you will have to drown because of thick armor...... Godbrother, in response to this matter, why did you teach Guo? ”

The potter's face darkened all at once.

"I don't understand! You know, you know! Then you should be the governor of the navy and lead people to the river to beat Yuan Shu! ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said: "Aren't you raising the bar, anyway, Guo Mou who should have said it told you, if Yuan Shu really marches to Jinling by water, you will definitely be defeated if you intercept him on the water!" ”

The potter scolded Guo Jia fiercely, holding his chin and not saying a word for a long time.

Guo Jia saw that the potter stopped talking, and suddenly smiled and said, "Aren't you the king of pirates?" Those oysters under your hands are robbing houses one by one? How not to use it? ”

Tao Shang's expression was a little resentful, and he said helplessly: "You haven't thought about it, I have already sent someone to inform Gan Ning, but I still haven't received a reply from him...... Alas, the matter is really tricky and tight. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, his face couldn't help but show a little worry: "Yuan Shu is now sending people to Jiujiang County to deploy ships, it will take some time, this time is your last hope, if during this time, Gan Ning can't lead the water thieves to come...... Prince Taiping, to put it mildly, you have arranged a year's hard work in Jinling City, and I am afraid that you will give it to Yuan Shu to make a wedding dress. ”

The potter rubbed his temples worriedly, and suddenly said: "See if you are not in a hurry or panic, if Tao is defeated, you will not be well!" ”

Guo Jia spread his hands and said with a smile: "How fresh, if you are defeated, Guo Mou chooses another sorghum to go to the pillar, why do you have to play with you?" Guo was also robbed by you at the beginning. ”

The pottery merchant glared at Guo Jia with compassion, and said word by word: "If Tao dies, before he dies, he will definitely let You Donkey shoot you and pull you as a back, you can rest assured!" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

"You're still being unreasonable?"

"Tell me, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers, you are my godbrother, and you have to die in the ancestral grave of my Tao family."

Guo Jia looked at him dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say quietly: "But the problem is, my surname is Guo......"
