These days, we've always heard of naval forces commanding boats, driven over rivers and lakes - but never of naval forces conquering cities.
It's not that they look down upon naval forces. The difference between fighting on sea or land - it's like comparing chalk and cheese, they are not the same size at all.
A seaman might be valiant on the river, a crack soldier.
But on land, he is no better than a well-trained infantry soldier, skilled at fighting, definitely not superior to a soldier who has been trained for years.
Even though both are civilian soldiers, it's more cost-effective to recruit directly from local people than to misuse hard-trained local sailors.
The Chu people would have to be foolish to let their naval soldiers fight on land.
If they do, the King of Chu should decapitate the commanding general of this time, and throw this prodigal son into the rubbish heap.
