Sun Xiaomei was stunned, her cognition completely subverted.
These words did not come from the mouth of Liu Zhang, but from the mouth of Lu Meng, the general of Soochow and the prefect of Lujiang!
No need to question it at all!
Furthermore, Sun Xiaomei knew very well how much Zhou Yu valued Lu Meng, and was even more convinced of the military relationship that Lu Meng just explained.
The regular army under Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, did not have the confidence to confront the partial army under Cao Cao head-on!
How shocking is this?
Above the partial division of Cao Jun is the main force of Cao Jun, and above the main force of Cao Jun is the Qin Army!
If you look at it this way, wouldn't the elite Jiangdong Army have no power to fight back when facing the Qin Army?
Sun Xiaomei shook her head repeatedly, her eyes full of doubts.
"No...impossible!"
"I don't believe it! I don't believe there are invincible soldiers!"
Lu Meng frowned, shaking his head and sighing.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at the surrounding soldiers.
"Don't believe it? Haha, Miss Sun, look at it! Look at these soldiers around you!"
Sun Xiaomei quickly glanced around.
After looking around, I found nothing unusual.
Suddenly, a ray of reflected sunlight shone in his eyes, and he suddenly understood.
"General Lu is talking about... armor?"
"good!"
Lu Meng nodded heavily.
"The King of Qin has four major military regions under his command, the Eastern Army, the Northern Army, the Central Army, and the Imperial Guard! There are no less than three hundred thousand elite soldiers!"
"These 300,000 people, all wearing iron armor, and an invincible heavy armored infantry, are trapped in the camp!"
"And what about us, Jiangdong?"
Sun Xiaomei scanned the surroundings again, and finally couldn't help but tremble with fear in her heart.
Koto?
There is no need to look at the entire Jiangdong.
Even Sun Quan's direct troops were not all equipped with iron armor!
No wonder the Qin army is invincible in foot combat!
It turns out that they have equipment that is ahead of everyone else in the world!
Just when Sun Xiaomei felt enlightened, Lu Meng spoke again.
"Miss Sun, Governor Zhou Yu captured Jiujiang County and Guangling County, and Wu Gong also led an army to the north for support. Do you know why Cao Cao used only one title to completely neutralize the offensive of our Jiangdong Army?"
"Isn't it because the second brother... covets the position of duke?"
Sun Xiaomei thought for a while and then said what she was thinking.
In fact, this sentence has been held in her heart for a long time.
Jiangdong's army blossomed on all fronts and achieved frequent victories. It was the time to expand the results and further occupy prefectures and counties.
But Sun Quan completely gave up a large area of land because of a meaningless title.
In Sun Xiaomei's opinion, this is very stupid.
Soon, Lu Meng told Sun Xiaomei with the facts that she was the one who was stupid!
"Haha, Mr. Wu is a great hero with great talent and strategy! How could he be swayed by the position of a duke?"
"It's not that we don't want to continue going north, it's just that our strength doesn't allow it!"
"Once we cross the Huaihe River, we will enter the vast plains of Xuzhou! At that time, we will face Cao Jun's elite soldiers and Cao Jun's elite cavalry!"
"How many men do we have in Jiangdong, enough for Cao Jun's cavalry to massacre? But with the Huaihe River as a barrier, Cao Jun's cavalry can only look at Huaihe and sigh!"
Sun Xiaomei suddenly realized it again, but there was no sign of joy.
It turns out that it wasn't that Sun Quan didn't want to expand the results, but that he had already achieved the maximum results!
"So that's it, I... misunderstood my second brother..."
"Haha, does Miss Sun know how many cavalry King Qin has under his command?"
Sun Xiaomei shook her head, but there was no fear on her face.
"General Lu, no matter how many cavalry there are, can they still level the Yangtze River?"
"Even if we in Jiangdong cannot defeat Qin in an infantry battle, there is no problem in relying on the Yangtze River to protect ourselves, right?"
Sun Xiaomei was not very interested in this matter.
Just as Lu Meng said, the cavalry could not even cross the Huaihe River, how could they still cross the Yangtze River?
In Sun Xiaomei's eyes, Jiangdong Navy is still invincible!
Of course, it was just Sun Xiaomei.
As Jiangdong's general, Lu Meng had never been so naive.
"Miss Sun, do you know how many years the Yu Fu Shui Army under the command of King Qin has been established and how many years it has been trained?"
Sun Xiaomei didn't care and snorted softly.
"so what?"
"If you can train an invincible army simply by relying on time, then what use is the general and what use is the equipment?"
"If General Lu is given ten years, can he defeat King Qin's infantry?"
Lu Meng was not angry. He shook his head gently and said that he could not do it.
Then he started to argue about the navy.
"Miss Sun, the Yufu Navy under the command of King Qin once defeated Liu Bei's Nanjun Navy."
"Developed to this day, the size, equipment, and warships of the Yufu Navy are no less than those of our Jiangdong Navy!"
Sun Xiaomei was not convinced at all and was about to refute.
Lu Meng refused to let her continue at all and continued to tell the facts.
"Miss Sun, this is not my intention, but the opinion of Governor Zhou Yu and Governor Lu Xun!"
After moving out Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, Sun Xiaomei was stunned.
If Lu Meng had told Lu Xun's opinion alone, she would not have been so speechless.
Because the most elite navy in Jiangdong is in the hands of Zhou Yu.
But Zhou Yu has openly stated his position, so it's completely different.
Sun Xiaomei has nothing to question.
Lu Meng struck while the iron was hot and asked again.
"Miss Sun, it's not that Lu Meng is being alarmist here, but that King Qin does have the ability to change the world!"
"If the King of Qin becomes angry and forms an alliance with Cao Cao to raise troops together, how can Jiangdong protect itself?"
Sun Xiaomei did not remain silent, but responded with a stubborn look.
"Then retreat to Jiangnan!"
Lu Meng shook his head, full of disdain.
"Haha, Miss Sun is so naive! Don't you understand that if you stay for a long time, you will lose?"
"Jingzhou is connected to Yuzhang County, so we can attack Yuzhang by land!"
"Furthermore, even if King Qin's Yu Fu Shui Army is defeated by our Jiangdong Navy, it is not a problem to send Qin's infantry into Jiangdong, right?"
"Once the Qin infantry invades, how can our Jiangdong Army resist it? Besides, Cao Cao is here to help!"
Sun Xiaomei looked gloomy and finally lowered her proud head.
At this moment, she finally understood what the word King Qin represented!
I finally understood what disaster I had brought to Jiangdong by angering King Qin!
Liu Zhang has the ability to destroy Jiangdong at any time.
Lu Meng did not feel the slightest joy after defeating Sun Xiaomei in a verbal battle.
This was a battle that shouldn't have happened.
"Miss Sun, now you know why Duke Wu is eager to form an alliance with King Qin, right?"
Sun Xiaomei looked at Lu Meng blankly, but couldn't say a word.
Got it, she did.
But so what?
It's too late to regret now!
