The size of the Iron Dragon Boat was unimaginable by people of this era. When Xu Shu saw his masterpiece, he burst into tears: "My lord, this Iron Dragon Boat has an indestructible hull keel. This keel was made with a lot of money. A thousand-year-old iron tree found in the hinterland of Xichuan is indestructible and tougher than weapons."
"Dragon bone?" Li Yuguo opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu Shu.
Xu Shu nodded: "It's a pity that Liu Zhang actually sat down and raised the price. He originally bought this tree for 500,000 taels, but it was raised to 3 million taels. But in the whole world, I ordered people to collect the world's anecdotes. This iron tree is the only one. It is also the strongest and strongest in the world.”
"Liu Zhang is weak and ignorant of current affairs. Jingzhou is not far from Xichuan. He didn't know that this was an opportunity to sell favors, but he missed the opportunity to alliance with us. Whatever... With this iron dragon ship, among the navy, who is the best in the world?" Our opponent?" Li Hugo said confidently.
"My lord, Gan Ning has incorporated the Jinfan thieves into the navy and formed a team of water ghosts. They are so elusive that when fighting at night, one is worth ten!" Xu Shu said, leading Li Yuguo towards the side. .
At this time, Li Hugo saw a group of people training in the water.
Gan Ning saw Li Hugo: "My lord, madam!"
"How about your team of water ghosts."
"Back to my lord, everyone in this water ghost team can hold their breath underwater for half a stick of incense, and they are good at sneaking!" Gan Ning said.
"Half a stick of incense?" Li Yuguo's eyes lit up. One stick of incense lasts fifteen minutes, and half a stick of incense lasts seven and a half minutes. Calculated in this way, you can sneak about five hundred meters underwater. In this era of lack of underwater lighting, , a distance of five hundred meters is enough to influence the situation of a battle.
Although the expropriation of all the assets of the Cai family is a bit cruel from an objective point of view, but from another perspective, it is another matter. The Cai family was originally a threat to Li Huguo, but now it is eradicated. It also eliminated future troubles and reorganized Jingzhou's troops. Now compared to the past, the combat effectiveness has improved by leaps and bounds.
Not only the navy, but also the army's cavalry were equipped with good saddles, their weapons were also updated, and 5,000 BMWs were purchased from the Western Regions. These BMWs, coupled with Li Hugo's original war horses, It seems that it has become a team that cannot lose to the Xiliang Cavalry.
The team is under the control of Zhao Zilong and Ma Mengqi, and its combat power has also improved by leaps and bounds.
"The time has come." Li Huguo slowly opened his eyes.
"I don't know what my lord is referring to..." Xu Shu looked at Li Yuguo.
Li Yuguo looked to the northwest: "Yuan Shu was treacherous and plotted to kill me last time. Although my brother-in-law was seriously ill and died soon, he died early because of his early arrival."
"Haha, my lord's revenge is fake, but missing the rich land of Shouchun is real, right?" Pang Tong strode over from a distance and said.
Pang Tong revealed what Li Yuguo was thinking in one word, which actually made Li Yuguo quite unhappy. However, thinking of Pang Tong's great talent, Li Yuguo put aside his unhappiness and said, "The military advisor is here."
Nowadays, Pang Tong is the army strategist, and Xu Shu is the navy strategist, each performing their own duties. Pang Tong said: "Originally, I came to ask Yuan Zhi for a drink, but I didn't expect that the lord is also here. I have met the lord!"
Li Yuguo smiled and said: "Sir, you're welcome. I mentioned Shouchun just now. I wonder what you can do?"
The reason why he asked this question was that Li Yuguo also understood that Zhuge had not yet come out of the mountain, but Pang Tong's intelligence was already well-known in Jingxiang and spread throughout Jiangdong. Later, Pang Tong did live up to the praise. With his fire attack strategy and chain strategy, Cao's 800,000 troops After being defeated, when the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang deteriorated, he proposed three strategies, upper, middle and lower, which later laid the theoretical foundation for Liu Huangshu to take Xichuan.
Although Xu Shu and Pang Tong are both talented and intelligent, Xu Shu and Pang Tong still have great flaws, such as Xu Shu's difficult choice of values of loyalty and filial piety and Pang Tong's poor appearance and arrogance based on his talents. Pang Tong, in particular, has the pride, self-reliance, and disdain of a counselor. Yu Yingying, and at the same time cherishing the desire to make contributions for a long time, and finding other ways to be reused, these are common psychological characteristics of counselors in ancient and modern times, but they were abandoned by Sun Quan and Liu Bei. Although Pang Tong felt Cao's attention and appreciation for him, due to Cao Cao was not orthodox and was called a Cao thief. Pang Tong had no choice but to stay away from Cao Ying. In the end, after going through all kinds of twists and turns, he finally got Liu Bei to reuse him through his blockbuster in Leiyang County, but unfortunately he died young and his talent was not used.
When Li Yuguo accepted Pang Tong, he was already prepared to accept Pang Tong's pride. After all, the great cause was the most important thing, and there was nothing wrong with his tone of arrogance.
Pang Tong said: "Now Yuan Shu's army can be said to be at odds with each other. For example, although Sun Ce took Sun Jian and others to seek refuge with Yuan Shu, they have always been independent and not united. Yuan Shu has many powerful generals. , and there are still 300,000 troops. To deal with him, we must advance simultaneously by water and water, not even one of them will work!"
"The military advisor is saying that Yuan Shu's weakness is Sun Ce?"
"Yes, Sun Ce is the son of Sun Jian. He is tolerant and has a good relationship with the lord. The lord can be said to be the de facto master in Jingzhou now. Although the master is nominally the master of Liu Qi, the power of military and horse power rests with the lord. In his hands, the lord can rely on the fact that he is a military general conferred by the imperial court and the governor of Jingzhou to attract Sun Ce, who is a powerful general!" Pang Tong said.
"I'm afraid Sun Ce won't agree easily. His ambitions are no longer inferior to mine. I heard that he also has a divine counselor named Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin." Li Huguo said.
"As expected of your lord, Zhou Yu knows this, yes... Zhou Yu is a talented person from Jiangdong. He is both wise and brave. He can strategize intelligently and win decisively thousands of miles away. He is brave enough to go into battle to kill the enemy. One is worth a hundred. With him, he is here. , It is actually difficult to use tactics to win over Sun Ce, but it cannot be outsmarted, we can use sincerity to get it." Pang Tong said, "To move with emotion, learn with reason."
"In this case, I will listen to the military advisor and go to Shouchun alone. Only in this way can I show my sincerity. It is not good to have more people." Li Hugo said.
But Xu Shu refused, and Xu Shu said: "This must not be done. My lord is the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou's army and horses. If the lord is gone, I'm not saying bad words, but I'm saying just in case, if something happens to my lord, you can Where will all my brothers in Jingzhou go?"
"Then look at Yuan Zhi, how can we get Shouchun?" Pang Tong looked unhappy.
