Chapter 772: Sad Sun Quan
"Woo woo woo~" A loud horn sounded.
More than a thousand ships set out from the port after replenishing their supplies.
Sun Ce was wearing a wide cloak and standing at the bow of the ship looking into the distance. The ocean was not new to him, but this was the first time he went out to sea with a huge fleet.
"Bofu, don't be careless. You are well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese sea monsters!" Zhou Yu said calmly. He had a premonition that this expedition would not be smooth.
"It doesn't matter. If there is no challenge, the general would not have sent us here!" Sun Ce looked indifferent. In his opinion, with the cooperation of him and Zhou Yu, they could go anywhere in the world.
"You are so confident!" Zhou Yu shook his head and said nothing. After all, this was a war, how could it be stopped because of his premonition.
He prefers to trust his own judgment rather than his own intuition.
However, just in case , he directly transferred six people from the rear, including Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and Li Yan, and also seconded generals such as Taishi Ci, Chen Dao and Qin Liangyu.
The fleet consisted of a total of 100,000 people, with Sun Ce as the governor and Zhou Yu as the deputy governor.
As for Sun Jian's fleet on the other side, it was composed of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zhu Zhi, with the three great generals of Wu, Lu Su, Lu Xun, and Lu Meng in charge. Also accompanying them were the navy of Jing Zhou, as well as Wen Pin and others.
The two fleets of Sun Jian went directly to the vicinity of Japan, while Sun Ce went directly to Goryeo.
"So, why should I come along?" Sun Quan was a little crazy. He was staying well in Luoyang, but Sun Ce suddenly dropped from the sky, picked him up and left.
It was not until the fleet set out that he realized why Sun Ce wanted to take him along.
"Second brother! How can we, the sons of the Sun family, shrink back and stand still? Brothers fight together to fight tigers, and fathers and sons fight together in battle. This time, all members of our Sun family are mobilized. How can you be absent!"
Sun Shangxiang patted Sun Quan on the shoulder and spoke seriously.
"Wait, why are you here too?" Zhou Yu reacted at this time. He understood that Sun Quan, this little burden, was brought along. Perhaps Sun Ce wanted to train his good-for-nothing younger brother, but why was Sun Shangxiang here too?
"Brother Gongjin, what are you talking about? I am also a legitimate naval captain!" Sun Shangxiang straightened her chest and said proudly.
"Yes, Gongjin, don't underestimate Xiang'er. She is much more powerful than Zhongmou now!" Sun Ce flew down from the bow of the boat with an expression on his face that his sister had made progress.
"?" Zhou Yu slowly typed a question mark, then reacted.
The only female soldier corps in the entire fleet is Qin Liangyu's White Spear Army, and Sun Shangxiang must be a captain under the other side.
"Forget it, call all the generals to a meeting and I will deploy the operation!" Zhou Yu sighed and said nothing more.
As several big prizes flew to the main ship where Zhou Yu and his team were, Sun Quan also saw all the people involved in this operation.
"Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin... are they going to attack Japan?" Sun Quan's mind was very active and he immediately thought of the purpose of their action. This made him put his annoyance behind him and he got up and joined them.
You know, the call to attack Japan has been around for a long time, and it's even a topic they talk about when they have dinner together. I didn't expect that my eldest brother would actually take me with him. This is a great opportunity to achieve something great.
"Our action this time is to support Goryeo. As the suzerain of the imperial court, we will help Goryeo eliminate the threats from the surrounding Japanese fleets and pirates."
"Xu Sheng, Li Yan, listen to my order. You two will each bring 5,000 elite troops to the coast of Goryeo, recruit the troops along the coast of Goryeo, and build a defense system from the coast."
"Yes!" Xu Sheng and Li Yan responded quickly after hearing the order.
"General Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai, each lead fifty ships and advance in this direction to meet up with General Gan Ning. Sink all pirates you encounter along the way and never expose Gan Ning's location!"
“Yes!”
"Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Ling Tong, listen up. The four of you will also lead fifty ships each to clear all the nearby islands, build temporary supply stations, and ensure that the surrounding sea beasts will not cause trouble."
“Yes!”
Seeing that Zhou Yu had been planning for a long time and had not yet called his name, Sun Quan became anxious.
"Brother Gongjin, what about me? What about me!"
"Zhongmou?" Zhou Yu frowned. There was no place for Sun Quan in his plan. Subconsciously, he felt that Sun Quan was not reliable and wanted to keep him by his side.
"On the shore or on the sea, you choose one!" Sun Ce suddenly said.
"To the shore, I'm going to the shore!" Sun Quan said decisively. There were sea beasts everywhere in the sea, and he might be attacked by other fleets. Of course he chose to go directly to the shore.
They had analyzed it before and knew that as long as the Han Dynasty's fleet arrived, the coast of Goryeo would be absolutely safe. Even if there were any, they would be just remnants of defeated troops. In addition, there were two reliable generals, Li Yan and Xu Sheng, so he could just sit back and reap the credit.
At worst, he will just be a little more tired and have to take on more logistical work.
"Okay! Then I'll give you twenty ships, one thousand sailors, and three thousand archers. Don't let me down!" Sun Ce's domineering decision did not give anyone else a chance to refute.
"???" Sun Quan was confused. "Brother, I meant the shore!"
"Do you want to disobey military orders?" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan with a serious expression. Sun Quan read that there could be no doubt in his elder brother's eyes.
Sun Quan was very sure that Sun Ce was serious about this. If he dared to disobey military orders, he would definitely become the chicken killed to scare the monkeys.
“Yes!”
"Your mission is to occupy this island and drive away the surrounding sea beasts and passing ships."
“Yes!”
Sun Quan cupped his hands with a look of helplessness on his face. He was extremely confused and didn't know how to continue playing this game.
After receiving his own task, he could no longer hear a word Zhou Yu said about his next task, and was completely immersed in his own world.
He could feel that the sea was emitting malice at all times, which made him feel a little suffocated.
However, he felt much better after seeing the legion allocated to him by Sun Ce.
"Brother is still very reliable. They are all elite soldiers. This way, safety can be guaranteed."
"Go, full speed ahead!"
With the idea of dying early and being reborn early, Sun Quan directly activated the cloud energy of the legion, and the entire fleet moved in the designated direction at an astonishing speed .
"Oh? Zhongmou is well-educated! Who did you learn this from?"
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan's army going away and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Sun Quan's command of the clouds was so skillful that it was obvious that he was the work of a famous teacher.
And there were some subtleties in it that made his eyes light up.
However, he knew that this was not Sun Quan's ability, but the ability of the person who taught Sun Quan command.
