The first thousand two hundred and forty-eight chapters
?Zhou Yu was lying on the desk, but there was nothing he could do about it. The desks he could find were too short, so Zhou Yu had to lie on it. After a long time, Zhou Yu straightened his waist and thumped his sore waist hard. He made up his mind to transport a desk quickly.
After rubbing his temples hard, Zhou Yu's confused eyes were still on the map. It had been several days. Even if the Japanese reacted slowly, they would not have not reacted for several days. The quietness of the Sintai made Zhou Yu feel a little suspicious, and he always felt that the enemy on the opposite side seemed to be hiding in the dark and was calculating something.
"Governor..."
Zhou Yu turned his head when he heard the sound, and Han Dang, wearing armor, was standing at the door with a cold face.
"General Han, please come in quickly, but is there anything wrong?"
Zhou Yu's enthusiasm and appropriate humility did not get Han Dang's response. Perhaps Han Dang's personality was so unpleasant.
Han Dang put away his etiquette and straightened his waist, walked in quickly, looked at Zhou Yu and said in a stern voice: "Governor, according to the report of our army's detective cavalry, the Japanese seem to be gathering forces in the three cities of Shiraishi and Miyagi. Perhaps they have the intention to attack me."
Zhou Yu shook his head and said in confusion: "This... the news from the World Club today said that the total number of troops gathered intermittently to the above three cities will not exceed 500,000, which means that they are simply unable to launch an attack unless the information is false."
"What?! Five hundred thousand? Three cities? If the original garrison was included, the enemy's defense seemed a little nervous. Could this be because the information was wrong, or they deliberately wanted to mislead..."
Zhou Yu frowned: "It's hard to say. In short, we must be careful in everything. We cannot believe it all or not. Therefore, the general's scouts and scouts must make good use of them and make full use of them. In addition, we must make full use of the aliens. I will issue various reconnaissance and infiltration tasks."
"Governor, there is another thing. The enemy's small infiltration forces, that is, the number of ninja troops, is very active in the surrounding areas. This has caused great trouble and losses to the activities of our scouts. Can we issue tasks? Let Inhuman help clear these ninja troops!"
"Oh? I understand, I will issue the mission as soon as possible. General Han can also patrol outside the city with a cavalry team to clear out the enemy's infiltration troops. At least, ensure that there is no enemy within twenty miles. The lord will reach it tomorrow. Don't have any accidents at this time!"
"promise!"

Sun Ce stood at the bow of the boat, with Cheng Pu guard beside him. The wind was strong on the sea. Although it was spring, it still felt a bit cold.
Sun Ce has been a little silent these days, naturally because of everything he saw with his own eyes. In the Yangtze River, Sun Ce was once proud of his naval army and felt that he was also a force on the Yangtze River water. However, after he arrived at the sea, Sun Ce realized that Zhang Zhao's words were not exaggerated at all. On the contrary, he seemed to be too subtle!
The maritime power of Fang Zhiwen and the World Association was a desperate scale. Only then did Sun Ce fully understand what Fang Zhiwen said to him that day. He was not qualified to shout in front of Fang Zhiwen, and he didn't even have the qualification to refute. The only thing Sun Ce is grateful for is that he did not have a quarrel with Fang Zhiwen.
"Lord. Look, that's Sintai Port, right?"
Cheng Pu said, pointing to some of the buildings on the coastline and the large ships lined up on the sea.
"It should be! I don't know how Gongjin and the others?"
"Lord, didn't the war report say that the war was going well, and the Japanese did not organize a counterattack. Perhaps our luck began to get better."
"Luck? Haha... this luck was earned by Fang Zhiwen for us!"
"Uh...Master..."
"It's okay. Demou, you said, we can have such a huge navy in the future, no, navy?"
"There will definitely be something, lord, as long as we are united, we will definitely be able to surround the East China Sea in the future."
Sun Ce smiled, East China Sea? If one day he could be in the East China Sea, Fang Zhiwen might have been in the seven seas. In the past few days, you can occasionally hear the sailors on the boat talking about the hot oceans in the south, the islands in the north, and the ice seas and icebergs that have been frozen all year round. Sun Ce found that he was like a frog in the well. If you want to compete with Fang Zhiwen, let’s come out of the well first.
The coastline is approaching, and Sun Ce can already see rows of simple trestles, orderly ships, troops standing on the docks and his subordinates.
....................................................
"Tell me about the current situation!"
As soon as Sun Ce got ashore, he attracted Han Dang and Zhou Yu before he could rest, while Cheng Pu and Ling Cao were busy unloading the boat and arranging the soldiers to land and rest.
"Master, please look at the map. The twenty miles around Sendai have completely fallen into the control of our army. The fortress at the key points is being expanded. Our situation is very stable now, and as time goes by, the situation will become more and more beneficial to us. The Japanese have been passively defending and are actively strengthening the defense facilities of cities such as Satoshi, Shiraishi and Miyagi, and have no intention of taking the initiative to attack."
"I know this situation. Fang Zhiwen has a letter to me. The total number of Japanese mobile troops is about 20 million, and the remaining defenders in various places are close to 20 million, so the combat power of this part is relatively limited. The 20 million troops, as the main combat power, are all restrained in the two battlefields of Xiaguan and Shangyue, and there are very few remaining troops that can mobilize attacks. Therefore, the Japanese may choose to rely on the strategy of defending the city to drag our army and then carry out the battle of Xiaguan with all their might."
Zhou Yu nodded, and Zhou Yu also vaguely guessed this conclusion: "So, Fang Zhiwen hopes that our army will take the initiative to increase its offensive force in order to reduce the pressure on Xiaguan and Shangyue?"
Sun Ce looked up at Zhou Yu, shook his head and said, "No, Fang Zhiwen said that the war here is up to us to decide."
Zhou Yu was stunned, and then anger that was despised rose from his heart, turned into a depressed aura, condensed in his chest and could not be dissolved. He was so blocked that he felt extremely uncomfortable, and his expression couldn't help but seem a little irritable.
Sun Ce smiled bitterly. When he saw this letter, he was also depressed. Sometimes Sun Ce felt that he took him seriously. In Fang Zhiwen's eyes, he was just an unnecessary leisure chess.
"Lord, my subordinates recommend taking the initiative to attack Shiraishi and Aoma, first Shiraishi and then Aoma. These two cities are important. After taking them down, our army's activity space and barrier will be available. Then turn the direction of the attack north to seek the palace."
Sun Ce nodded and looked at Han Dang: "What do you think Yi Gong?"
"The last general thinks that the governor's strategy is feasible. If the information on the Fang Zhiwen is correct, the more north you go, the weaker the enemy's strength will be. Therefore, it should be the most advantageous choice to stabilize the south and attack the north."
"Okay, let's prepare as follows, Fang Zhiwen... Don't underestimate people too much. The place you beat is ours. If most of the island falls into my hands, Sun Ce, see what you have to say!"
....................................................................................................
"Husband, what are you writing about? Why don't Sun Ce cooperate with Zilong and Fengxiao? The three battlefields can effectively combine to exert greater power and effect!"
Fang Zhiwen turned his head and looked at Taishi Zhaorong who was leaning her head from her shoulder. She smiled and reached out to pinch her smooth cheeks. Taishi Zhaorong's face turned red and she quickly turned around. Fortunately, this was her own house and no one was present.
"Husband..." Taishi Zhaorong still called out shyly.
"Haha, what are you afraid of? There are no one else."
Although the old couple has become mothers, Taishi Zhaorong's shy personality has not been completely changed. Perhaps she discovered that Fang Zhiwen liked her, so she carefully preserved this personality.
"Speak serious things!"
"Okay, let's talk about the serious business." Fang Zhiwen took the Taishi Zhaorong who was deliberately stern, and sat down next to him, pointing to the letter and said, "Madam, don't you be so arrogant than please?"
"My husband said..."
"Yes, Sun Ce has a high opinion of himself, and Zhou Yu is also so, as proud as a peacock."
"whee......"
"So. Even if you are sincere and patiently say something to them, they will first doubt it, and then think about whether our purpose is to make them suckers and plot against them. At that time, shirk responsibility and various procrastination will definitely be indispensable. Therefore, instead of delaying things at that time, it is better to simply ignore them and deliberately marginalize them. These two arrogant children will definitely not be able to stand this in their hearts, and then they will try their best to find ways to prove themselves. Haha, don't the children think so?"
Taishi Zhaorong thought about it and it seemed that this was really the case. Relying on Fang Zhiwen's arms, Taishi Zhaorong deliberately retorted mischievously: "But what if they understand their husband's idea and take the opportunity to procrastinate? In that case, wouldn't the husband's goal of getting Sun Ce to Yingzhou Island be achieved?"
"Tsk! They deliberately delayed, and their territory on Yingzhou Island will be smaller in the future, and the war dividends they can get will naturally be less. I think Zhou Yu will not even be able to understand this. Even if he knows the purpose of my aggressive general, he must work hard to fight. Besides, the purpose of my request to Sun Ce to Yingzhou Island is not just to fight, but the key is to long-term clearance and suppression of war after the end of the regular war."
Taishi Zhaorong blinked: "Then, if Sun Ce waits longer, and when the battle situation in the south and west worsens, the Japanese forces are drawn to Xiaguan and Shangyue, the profits will not be greater!"
"You underestimate the Japanese too much! Although the Japanese are relatively dull, they are not really stupid. In any case, they cannot ignore Sun Ce's army. Your ideas are simply impossible. Even if Sun Ce is too weak, the Japanese may choose to destroy Sun Ce first and then turn back to encircle and suppress the Zilong of Shangyue."
"That......"
"Then what? I'm so naughty today, I must be punished!"
"No, it's not dark yet, my husband..."
The last voice of my husband was heart-wrenching, and I wanted to refuse! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations. Monthly votes.
