Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Zhou Yu's pro-war remarks soon caused a stir within Jiangdong.

There were more voices of opposition than support, and Zhou Yu was not surprised by this result.

After Emperor Liu occupied Jizhou, he issued an order to recruit talents and continued to show goodwill to the aristocratic families, making his image appear extremely tall in the hearts of the aristocratic families.

In the eyes of the aristocratic families, Uncle Liu is a wise ruler of the time, and even if he is in power, he will not harm their own interests.

In this case, why should we take such huge risks to fight?

After knowing that Zhou Yu advocated war, the civil officials of Jiangdong all came to Zhou Yu's residence to persuade him, and their thousands of words were reduced to one sentence.

Uncle Liu is too powerful. Even Yuan Shao, who occupies four states, is no match for him. Now that the lord has just ascended the throne and the internal affairs are still unstable, how can he deal with Uncle Liu's attack?

Jiangdong was originally a prefecture of the Han Dynasty. Now that the emperor is in power, Uncle Liu has been granted authority by the emperor to allow Sun Shao to live in Luoyang. There is nothing wrong with this. Why should Jiangdong refuse?

Given the current situation in Jiangdong, only by sending Sun Shao out quickly can the current predicament of Jiangdong be resolved. If we delay, something unexpected will happen. Once Uncle Liu arrives in Jiangdong, it will be too late to regret!

At this time, Lu Su had moved from the posthouse to Zhou Yu's mansion. After watching the Jiangdong soldiers leave the mansion, Lu Su deliberately asked: "Gongjin, you have seen it all. There are many Jiangdong civil and military men who miss the Han Dynasty. They all ask to send hostages. In this situation, how should Gongjin deal with it?"

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said, "These people don't miss Han at all, they are just worried about their own interests being damaged."

"The world is bustling with people, all for profit. The world is bustling with people, all for profit. People have been chasing profit since ancient times. If this problem cannot be solved, the people in Jiangdong will inevitably be uneasy..."

Zhou Yu had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of confidence.

"Zi Jing really thinks that you can shake the foundation of Jiangdong with these corrupt scholars?"

"At this point, Gongjin, why should you pretend to be calm? It has been said since ancient times that to pacify foreign enemies, you must rectify domestic affairs. If domestic affairs are unstable, government orders will not be implemented. If government orders are not implemented, nothing will go smoothly. Do you really dare to send troops to fight under such circumstances?"

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su's serious expression and laughed. He decided not to hide anything from his loyal friend anymore.

"Nothing can be hidden from Zi Jing's eyes. I have already come up with a countermeasure for this matter. In less than two days, the people of Jiangdong will unite as one to fight the enemy together."

"Oh, what's Gongjin's plan? Tell me about it."

"In the past few days, people have come here one after another, and they have been trying to persuade me. Zijing, do you know why I haven't said a word?"

After Zhou Yu's reminder, Lu Su seemed to have thought of something.

"Gongjin is waiting for the right opportunity?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "To be exact, I am waiting for the right person."

"Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu?"

Zhou Yu replied, "Yes, it is this man. He is the head of Jiangdong's civil officials and has a high prestige. If we can't get him to reply and change his mind, it will be meaningless even if he convinces all the people who came here in the past few days."

Lu Su laughed and said, "Gong Jin has a good method! As long as he can convince Zhang Zhao, he will surely be able to change the opinions of the civil officials.

As far as I know, Zhang Zhao is not optimistic about Jiangdong's fight against Emperor Liu. He once urged General Sun to send hostages. Does Gongjin really have sufficient reasons to convince him?"

Zhou Yu smiled confidently and said, "I have a reason he can't refuse."

Zhou Yu's prediction was correct. Soon someone came to report that Zhang Zhao was here to visit.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"Please invite Zibu to the study. I want to have a good talk with him!"

After the two met, they exchanged some pleasantries before getting down to business.

"Gongjin, Emperor Liu has just pacified Yuan Shao, and his morale is high. Jiangdong cannot deal with such a fierce army. Jiangdong can only seek peace with him, not fight him. If Jiangdong forces itself to be an enemy of Emperor Liu, it will surely lose."

"Zi Bu, what you said is wrong." Zhou Yu did not hide anything and started to refute directly, "Uncle Liu has been fighting many battles, and his soldiers are already exhausted. If he leads his army to attack Jiangdong at this time, he will have no chance of winning at all."

"Uncle Liu is good at commanding troops, so how could he use exhausted soldiers to fight one battle after another?

News just came back from Jizhou that, except for Nanpi, there are no major wars in Jizhou.

Liu Huangshu decided to let the soldiers rest on the spot. Once the soldiers rest for a month, the army's spirit will surely recover. How can it be considered a tired army? "

Zhou Yu was not panicked at all. He said slowly: "Even if the army recovers, it can't play a role in Jiangdong. The reason why Jiangdong can be independent is because of the navy.

Although those people in the north are brave on land, how much fighting power can they have on warships?"

Zhang Zhao felt a little relieved when he heard this. Zhou Yu was right. Since ancient times, there have been ships in the south and horses in the north. When it comes to the ability on warships, only Liu Biao of Jingzhou can compete with them. No one in the world can match them.

He felt something was wrong and continued to ask, "Uncle Liu is good at using troops, so how could he not understand this principle? If he didn't have navy under his command, he would not have rashly attacked Jiangdong. I suspect he has a large number of navy hidden."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Zi Bu, there is no need to guess. I have already sent scouts to investigate the navy under Liu Huangshu. Before the attack on Yuan Shao, Liu Huangshu sent Gan Ning to train the navy in a certain sea area. Gan Ning has some martial arts skills, so he is nothing to worry about when it comes to training.

He showed extreme rejection towards those children from good families with clean backgrounds and good conduct, as if there was something in them that he hated extremely.

On the contrary, he stubbornly chose to recruit a group of bandits into the army in an attempt to strengthen his military strength.

It is undeniable that these bandits may be quite capable in committing violent acts, but once they face a critical moment when they really need to charge into battle, problems will ensue.

When they encounter an enemy force that is slightly weaker in strength, this mob often rushes forward like hungry wolves on their prey;

But if they encounter a strong and fierce opponent, they will scatter like frightened birds, abandoning their weapons and armor and fleeing in a panic. "

Zhang Zhao sat there quietly, frowning, lost in deep thought. After a while, he slowly said: "Although I am not proficient in marching and fighting, I at least understand one thing: all the elite divisions that have left a great reputation in the long river of history, most of their soldiers are excellent children selected from good families. But now Gan Ning actually goes against the trend and takes such a risky move, which really makes people have to be suspicious!"
