Chapter 590: Fighting in Jiangxin

"Zi Jing, don't be anxious. Even if you and I go to Youzhou, it's not at this time. I think that Youzhou is full of talents, if you and I leave empty-handed, wouldn't it be despised? What's more, at this time, Cao Cao's army is approaching, if it's the case,

You and I went to Youzhou now. Wouldn't it make people feel that you and I were afraid of Cao Cao, but they went to Youzhou to take refuge. In this way, how can we still have a chance to show our strength?" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Lu Su was so anxious. He said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin. At this moment, how can you care about those things? Your subordinates, Lu Meng, Xu Sheng and others are all Sun Quan's close confidants. If you have any mistakes, you will be seen by those people.

After looking at it, your life will be lost in an instant. In addition, the veteran Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others will receive the salary of the Sun family for three generations. Even if Sun Quan has it, they will do their best to maintain the Sun family's foundation.

If they were waiting for others, if there was no external force, there would be no one in Jiangnan to move Sun Quan. What's more, Zhuge Liang would be back soon. If Kong Ming had planned for him on Sun Quan's side, it would be even more difficult for Gongjin to do anything."

Lu Su spoke sincerely, and Zhou Yu was very kind. However, Zhou Yu still smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. Now that Cao Cao's manifesto has been sent, the army has come in an instant. Although I am dissatisfied with Sun Quan, my relationship with Bo Fu is still there.

How do you see the collapse of the Sun family's foundation? I should deal with Cao Cao wholeheartedly and preserve the Sun family's foundation. I returned Bo Fu's feelings to treat me. At that time, my army retreated, and my prestige was high. Moreover,

When Cao Cao fought, he could also reduce many hidden dangers. At that time, I was independent, but who could do anything to me?"

Zhou Yu admitted his plan and was very confident.

Lu Su thought a little about it: Zhou Yu's plan has many possibilities for success. So he spoke, "Gongjin, although Sun Quan is now suspicious of me, he treats me very much in the end. I have been surviving his salary for many days, but

You can't be enemies with him. I can only take charge of military affairs for you in your army, but I will not lead troops to the enemy Sun Quan."

Lu Su is indeed worthy of being a friend of Zhou Yu's life and death. Just as Zhou Yu was able to suppress his dissatisfaction with Sun Quan for Lu Su. Now that Zhou Yu has an idea, Lu Su also expressed his attitude without saying a word.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and said, "That's enough for Zijing. Even I am only for Sun Quan. I will not plan the foundation of the Sun family. I have this intention to be independent, except for my kindness from Bo Fu,

In addition to having to avenge your friends, I heard Zijing say that Youzhou is powerful and no one can resist it. Therefore, it is necessary to leave a glimmer of life for the blood of the Sun family. I think if Sun Quan was in power, there would be even more

Zhuge Villager was a poor soldier and was fighting fiercely. He fought against the strong with his weak, but could not cultivate himself repeatedly. How could the Sun family's bloodline continue? But just looking at Zhuge Liang's fierce battle against Bashu and how many children in Jiangnan had consumed me. Moreover, if it were you and I, I

If you are in charge of the army, you can defend one side and keep the people in the south of the Yangtze River. If you advance, you can return to Youzhou, show your talents, travel around the world, and gallop across the world. See those strange looks in the world that you and I have never heard of.

Isn’t this so good?”

Lu Su nodded.

At this point, Xu Shu stayed in Zhou Yu's army and discussed the situation in the world with Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others every day, as well as the new policy of Youzhou. However, he never mentioned the recruitment matters, and Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others were also actively preparing for the war, without

Show any intention of seeking refuge in Youzhou. However, both sides have a tacit understanding in their hearts.

At this time, Cao Cao also led the troops to set off again and headed towards Chibi.

However, Cao Cao did not send anyone to contact Sun Quan. Although contacting Sun Quan to send troops together may reduce Cao Cao's pressure, Cao Cao originally came to eliminate Sun Quan's full strength. Now that Sun Quan's troops are divided, Cao Cao only needs to

Cao Cao is naturally more confident in destroying some of them first. Another thing is that Cao Cao is suspicious and cautious. Even if Cao Cao has believed in Zhou Yu's self-reliance now, he cannot completely believe it. Moreover, even if Cao Cao believes everything, Cao Cao will do it.

It will not prevent any protection from possible enemies in the future.

Therefore, although Cao Cao had made up his mind to defeat Zhou Yu first and then take Jiangnan, Cao Cao had to guard against Sun Quan.

In this situation, guarding against Sun Quan is definitely not an unnecessary move for Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao had to bet that Liu Ming would not have any abnormal movements when he sent troops. However, because Cao Cao had no other way to face Liu Ming's strong military pressure. That kind of gambling was definitely not Cao Cao's nature.

Although Cao Cao had many military operations, they all seemed to be gambling. However, they were all bold games with 70% or 80% confidence. Putting hopes completely on heaven is not Cao Cao's character.

It is also a line between great men and ordinary people.

Therefore, Cao Cao would never completely pin his hopes on gambling when he was against Sun Quan. Even if Zhou Yu was independent, Sun Quan was a temporary ally, but Sun Quan was ultimately a hostile member in the future, and Cao Cao could not be 100% at ease.

The Yangzhou occupied by Sun Quan now is even more directly adjacent to Cao Cao's Yuzhou and Xuzhou, which threatens the geographical advantage of Cao Cao's hometown Yanzhou. It is even more impossible for Cao Cao to let it go and leave it alone.

Therefore, when Cao Cao set out from Runan, he first sent General Cao Ren to lead 50,000 troops to Hefei, and supervised Jianye and Yangzhou Sun Quan's troops to prevent abnormal movement. Then, he led the army and prepared to use absolute military strength advantages.

Eliminate Zhou Yu in one fell swoop and get the troops.

The reason why Cao Cao was still prepared to destroy Zhou Yu first under such circumstances is that although Sun Quan had a great geographical threat, he was weak in the end. He was not as good as Zhou Yu to get more soldiers. If he eliminated Sun Quan first, he was afraid that Zhou Yu would be afraid of Zhou Yu.

Taking the opportunity to seize more territory in Jiangnan, so that his strength expanded and his foundation was stable. Another thing was that Zhou Yu was afraid that Zhou Yu would take the opportunity to capture Cao Cao's Jingzhou and Wancheng, and then threaten Cao Cao's mainland, which was something Cao Cao could not afford.

Therefore, there is a grand event where the Red Cliffs are everywhere.

The reason why Cao Cao stationed his troops in Chibi was because Chibi was a good place. It was not far from Jiangxia where Zhou Yu was, and it was also a place where the three rivers gathered, and there was a large mudflat to station troops. It was really a place that military strategists must fight for.

Just as Cao Cao was stationed in his army, Zhou Yu received the battle report. Zhou Yu immediately led Lu Su and Xu Shu out of the camp to watch Cao Cao's water camp.

Xiao is Zhou Yu, who has many knowledges and experiences in water battles, but after seeing Cao Cao's water camp, he still took a breath and was extremely surprised.

I saw Cao Cao formed a water village for more than 800 miles. A million soldiers were stationed in it. The entire water village was half on the shore and half in the river. Along the river, large ships formed into cities, and small boats shuttled and passed through it.

The military situation is orderly and deeply understands the essence of water war.

Zhou Yu had to frown.

Although Cao Cao did transfer troops from all over the country this time, he almost gathered all his troops to fight Zhou Yu. However, there were no millions, at most more than seventy.

Wan. But Zhou Yu didn’t know.

Cao Cao pretended to be a million people, and with such a big show now, it was impossible for Zhou Yu to believe it. In this way, but from the outside, Cao Cao's military strength has exceeded that of Zhou Yu's military strength.

But it's quite difficult to fight a battle.

However, Zhou Yu faced a strong enemy, except for a little surprise at the beginning, he was full of fighting spirit. Zhou Yu immediately ordered Xu Sheng and Lu Meng to lead 30,000 naval troops each to take advantage of the time when Cao Cao's water camp was not carefully established.

Go to attack Cao Cao's water camp.

Zhou Yu's army was dispatched, and a small boat patrolling the river had already rushed to report to Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao was in the camp and heard that Zhou Yu dared to launch an attack first. He didn't care. Although Cao Cao was the first time he came to the south of the Yangtze River, Cao Cao had previously fought with Liu Ming's navy across the river in Guandu and wanted to go to the Yellow River many times.

Although the upper water camp was established above, they were destroyed by Gan Ning. However, Cao Cao had a lot of experience. He had long been accustomed to this kind of camp attack.

Therefore, Cao Cao ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead the Jingzhou navy to fight. On the other hand, he sent people to build towers along the river, spreading thunder chariots.

Thinking back to the moment, the Ganning naval army was powerful, but they all retreated to the center of the Yellow River with Cao Cao's army densely spreading thunder chariots. What's wrong with Zhou Yu being attacked? What's more, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Cao Cao's old friend,

Cao Cao knew that the two had excellent water battles, and now he led the Jingzhou navy to fight 100,000 times, so how could he be defeated? Therefore, Cao Cao was not worried at all.

However, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led 100,000 naval troops and more than 800 warships, black and densely covered the river and went downstream. Soon, they saw the warships led by Xu Sheng and Lu Meng and others, going upstream.

.

A general stood on one of the boats and shouted loudly: "Ha! Is Xu Sheng the same thing! Who dares to fight me!"

Cai Mao laughed and said, "A single man actually wanted to challenge. He attacked the Yangtze River along the river. It was like cutting a mess with a quick knife, and the profit was extremely good. That stupid man was playing with him?" Then, Cai Mao sent an order: "Set the giant ship."

In front, the boat followed. The big boat was outside, the boat was inside, forming a front arrow formation and crashing the Jiangnan navy for me!"

At that moment, the boat shuttled through Cai Mao's military orders. There was a large ship on the third floor, which was the first to stand out.

Although this ship is not as huge as the Youzhou giant ship, this ship is just sailing on the river and does not need to store food, grass, fresh water and other things. It only carries people, and can even carry more than 150 people. There are also soldiers Li.

It is very beneficial to shoot arrows from a high place above the boat building. In addition, this boat is also an embodiment of Cai Mao's water battle idea. The boat is large and strong. The bow has a sharp impact angle specially fixed for impact.

Going down the river, it is definitely a terrible weapon.

At this time, Xu Sheng saw that no one was paying attention to him. A large ship on the third floor came first, and the rest were lined up with two wings, with the big ship outside and the small boat inside, forming a sagittal shape and rushing towards his army. Xu Sheng was furious,

Seeing that a general was commanding the ship in charge, Ding was advancing rapidly. Xu Sheng then took the bow and took the arrow, and shot the general with a sudden arrow.

At this time, the general who was commanding the soldiers to advance quickly on the large ship on the third floor was Cai Mao's younger brother, Cai Xun. Cai Xun was also a master of the Cai family's proficient in water warfare. That was why Cai Mao gave this opportunity to take the lead.

Cai Xun, so that Cai Xun could use the advantages of the big ship to destroy Zhou Yu and make the first contribution.

However, at this time, Cai Xun was eager to make contributions and only urged his subordinates to row quickly to increase the speed of the ship on the third floor to increase the power of the ship on the third floor to impact it. He did not take into account his own safety. In addition, the two armies at this time

The distance is still far away, and it is 150 steps away, Cai Xun never expected anyone to shoot himself with a bow and arrow. It is no longer within the range of the bow and arrow. Even Cai Xun himself was just giving it to his boat.

The archer ordered the preparation for shooting.

But Cai Xun never expected that Xu Sheng was Sun Quan's confidant. The treasure bow in his hand was purchased from Youzhou with a large amount of money. The range was much longer than the average range of 80 steps in Jiangnan now, which was enough.

One hundred and eighty steps direct shot.

Therefore, if Cai Xun was not careful, he was shot to death by Xu Sheng in an unknown way.

Because Cai Xun was shot to death by accident, the archers on Cai Xun's large boat on the third floor almost subconsciously released the bow and arrow, and a rain of arrows fell into the river. The Jiangnan Navy,

He took the opportunity to launch the first attack at the right time. The rain of arrows swept through Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's fleet, causing many soldiers on his ship to be killed or injured.

Fortunately, the big ship was going downstream, and the power of the ship itself was still unstoppable. The small boats in Jiangnan that were more reliable had no time to avoid them, and they were smashed to pieces by the collision of the big ships. The soldiers on the ship fell one after another.

Entering the water.

Fortunately, Lu Meng was not as reckless as Xu Sheng. He had already sent small boats to order the troops to disperse to the two wings, avoiding the sharp edge of Cai Mao's large ship down the river, and at the same time ordered the Eight Thousand Water Ghost Army to enter the river to fight.

Therefore, except for the relatively advanced ships, other ships had already given up their disposal and there were no casualties.

On the contrary, the water ghost army that was carrying a mace to the water won a lot of money when the two armies intersected, and some large ships of Cao's army were sank.

The river was rushing and the boat was going downstream. It was as fast as lightning. Under Lu Meng's command of his intention to avoid it, he rushed over without stopping his head. At this moment, he saw that the shortcomings of Cai Mao's ship were coming.

Although the boat was small, Jiang Xin was easy to turn around. However, after Cai Mao's big boats rushed over, it was difficult to turn around. Only the small boats that were guarding were turned around.

However, at this time, Lu Meng and Xu Sheng's Jiangnan navy occupied the upper reaches, and the boats were shuttled and the arrows were shooting, which was extremely powerful. Not only did they beat Cai Mao, but Zhang Yun's small boats fled. Even Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's big boats,

That was not to be avoided. As soon as it approached, it even crossed the boat. It was cut with a knife and killed it. There were eight thousand water ghost troops, drilling the hull under the water all the time. It was really fierce, and it was indeed worthy of the number one of the Jiangnan naval army.
