In addition to the 7,000 troops and horses left behind in Xiangyang and Wancheng, Yan Liang's currently available mobile troops were about 26,000, including Gan Ning's more than 7,000 naval troops.
Gan Ning's 7,000-strong navy had retreated to the upper reaches of the Han River since the war began and had never engaged any enemy. It could be said that Gan Ning had a force that had been gathering strength for a long time.
When the army set off, Yan Liang led an army of four thousand with Wen Chou, marched south from Xinye, passed through Suixian County, Anlu, and went straight to Xiakou by land west of the Dabie Mountains as a feint attack on the flank to divide Zhou Yu's forces.
Yan Liang led an army of more than 20,000 people on land and water, and went south along the Han River, advancing on both land and water, towards Hanjin.
Two days later, Yan Liang's army approached the waters of Hanjin.
On the flagship, Yan Liang summoned Gan Ning and others to discuss a plan to defeat the Wu army in Hanjin.
At present, the Wu army in Hanjin is about seven thousand, and its leader is Han Dang, the veteran of Soochow.
This Han Dang was an old Yuan Gong general who followed Sun Jian. He was known to be extremely brave and made great contributions in following Sun Ce in the battle to pacify Jiangdong.
The most rare thing is that although this man is from Youzhou, he is good at water warfare. The seven thousand Wu troops under his command are all elite water combatants.
"Han is no more than an old man. He would rather lead seven thousand warriors to attack Hanjin. I will sacrifice that old man's head to the lord."
Gan Ning generously asked for a fight and did not take Han Dang into consideration at all.
Yan Liang fought on all sides, and all the generals fought bloody battles and made great achievements, but Gan Ning retreated to the upper reaches and was strictly ordered by Yan Liang to stand still.
Nowadays, Gan Ning can hardly look forward to the time when he can join the war. Naturally, the strength he has accumulated for a long time is eager to be released to his heart's content.
In Yan Liang's view, although Han Dang was a good water fighter, he was still inferior to Gan Ning.
Yan Liang believed that in purely water battles, Gan Ning, who had gone through several battles, would definitely be able to defeat Han Dang.
However, it was not Han Dang that Yan Liang was worried about, but another person.
"Xingba's fighting spirit is very valuable, but the Wu people should not be underestimated. Regardless of Han Dang, there is a young general named Lu Meng in the Wu army. This man is resourceful. But he should not be underestimated."
Yan Liang, who has experienced two big wins, will not be dazzled by the victory and remains calm.
He could ignore Han Dang, but he could not ignore Lu Meng.
Together with Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Xun, this man was known as the four great governors of Soochow. Historically, he made a surprise attack on Jingzhou and wiped out the Second Lord Guan. Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms era, few people could achieve this.
Lu Meng's martial arts is not outstanding, but his ability to command troops and resourcefulness are super strong, even surpassing Zhou Yu to a certain extent.
Such a wise general with both civil and military skills, although he is still in the growth stage and has not yet reached the stage of taking charge, is still a threat that cannot be ignored.
When everyone heard Yan Liang mention Lü Meng's name, everyone looked confused for a moment, as if they were quite unfamiliar with the Lü Meng Yan Liang mentioned.
No wonder. At this time, Lu Meng was only in his twenties and had just emerged. Compared with famous Soochow generals like Han Dang, it was normal for him to be unknown.
Others may ignore Lu Meng, but Yan Liang, who has a "plug-in", obviously cannot.
"This Lu Meng is just an unknown person. Why should my lord have any scruples? I would rather chop off his head and offer it to my lord."
Gan Ning's tone was very proud.
Yan Liang only smiled faintly, "Those who are not famous may not necessarily have little ability. Xingba, you should know this best."
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and smiled, and his madness suddenly subsided a lot.
Gan Ning was not only a notorious Jinfan thief before he was discovered by Yan Liang, but he could not become famous until he surrendered to Yan Liang.
Gan Ning did not dare to doubt Yan Liang's ability to recognize people. After being reminded like this by Yan Liang, he naturally calmed down a lot.
At this time, Xu Shu coughed a few times and said with a smile: "Whether it is Han Dang or Lü Meng, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Soochow should not be underestimated. However, I have a plan that can help my lord win without thinking too much.
Hanjin.”
Seeing Xu Shu stroking his beard and smiling like that, it was obvious that he already had a plan in mind.
Yan Liang was refreshed and asked Xu Shu what his plan was. Xu Shu then explained the plan.
After everyone heard this, they all nodded secretly and expressed their approval of Xu Shu's plan.
After hearing this, Yan Liang nodded repeatedly and said: "Just follow Yuan Zhi's plan. Aren't the Wu people invincible just by relying on water? Well, I will give them a big gift."

Hanjin, Wujun Shuiying.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, veteran general Han Dang was sitting at the head, listening to the scout's report.
Gan Ning's 7,000 naval troops were moving down the river, and Yan Liang's elite infantry and cavalry troops were also on their way to the Hanjin stronghold by land. Various signs showed that Yan Liang planned to advance both by land and water and attack Hanjin in one go.
Han Dang was stroking his beard, listening to the scout's report and examining the map hanging on the wall. There was a deep color in his eyes, as if he was planning a countermeasure.
After the scout finished speaking, Han Dang looked around at the generals and asked slowly: "Yan Liang came with the remaining power of two victories. He obviously wants to defeat our Hanjin Stronghold in one fell swoop. What are your countermeasures?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young general said loudly: "Yan Liang's victory in the first two battles was just to show off his power on land. If it comes to water battles, how can he compete with our army? The general believes that our army should take the initiative in this battle.
Defeat the navy of the Jinfan thief named Gan first, then Yan Liang's infantry will naturally retreat without a fight."
The person who generously offered his advice was Han Zong, the son of Han Dang.
Although he is the son of Han Dang, there is no father or son in the army, so he only dares to call himself the last general.
When the Major General made this suggestion, the other generals agreed and believed that they should take advantage of their own naval warfare and take the initiative to find and annihilate Yan Liang's navy.
Han Dang nodded slightly, seeming to be leaning towards the majority opinion, and showed some approval to his son.
In the big tent, there was a sudden cry of war.
At this time, a person in the corner cupped his hands and said: "Old General, I think our army should not go to war."
The clamor suddenly fell silent, but everyone's eyes turned to the man in the corner, seeming to be a little surprised by this headwind's suggestion.
Han Dang glanced at that and said calmly: "It turns out to be Lu Ziming. Please tell me why our army shouldn't go to war."
"The general has been observing Yan Liang for a long time. He looks like a martial artist, but he is actually very courageous and has many resourceful people around him. Every victory he had before seemed to be based on courage, but in fact there were many hidden tricks.
Such an enemy must not be underestimated."
Lü Meng praised Yan Liang in front of all the generals. When Han Zong and others heard that he praised the enemy so much, everyone showed displeasure.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Han Dang's brows, but he remained silent and allowed Lu Meng to continue speaking.
"The general thinks that since Yan Liang dares to come with all his troops this time, he is probably determined to win. If our army goes to fight at this time, I am afraid that we will fall into his scheme."
Hearing this, Han Dang asked: "In your opinion, what should our army do?"
"The order from the Governor of Zhou was for us to hold off Yan Liang, so the general thought that our army should guard the camp and not leave. With my seven thousand people, holding on to the camp is no problem. As long as we can delay it to Xiakou
The city is broken, and Yan Liang will have to retreat even if he has more ideas."
Lu Meng's tone was calm and he explained his strategy calmly.
After saying this, he received a sarcastic look.
Han Zong snorted coldly and took the lead in saying: "Our Soochow naval army stretches across the river and is unfavorable in every direction. If we cower in the stronghold and dare not go out to fight, but let Yan Liang attack from both sides, won't we lose the power of our army greatly? Ziming, you
It’s too courageous.”
When Han Zong said this, everyone else laughed in agreement.
Facing Han Zong's ridicule, Lu Meng only said calmly: "Meng is just discussing things, it doesn't matter whether he has the courage or not."
Han Zong wanted to say more, but Han Dang stopped him with a wave of his hand.
Han Dang, who had been silent for a long time, coughed dryly and said calmly: "Lu Ziming's emphasis on safety is not unreasonable, but water warfare is our army's advantage. Since we are sure to win, we should go out to show our strength."
Military power. Even if we have to defend it, we should do so after defeating the enemy navy."
Han Dang said this, obviously deciding to go to war.
The general had already made up his mind, and Lu Meng could not say any more, so he could only shake his head secretly and retreat to the corner.
Han Dang immediately stood up, looked around the generals, and said with emotion: "I have decided that all the navy will be out tomorrow. You should do your best to annihilate Yan Liang's navy in one battle."
After the general gave the order, all the generals were immediately excited, eager to fight tomorrow and gain some meritorious service.
Only Lu Meng in the corner had a calm expression, and a hint of gloom quietly flashed through his eyes.
######
The gentle breeze from the river blew away the vast morning fog.
On the Han River, more than 400 warships were sailing toward the south, taking advantage of the current.
On the huge fighting ship, the big flag with the word "Gan" fluttered in the wind in a mighty manner.
On the east bank of the Han River, a group of thousands of cavalrymen were also walking along the water bank, parallel to the fleet in the water.
Yan Liang sat high on his horse, majestic and confident, looking at his fleet on the river, his eyes revealing some secrets from time to time.
A horseman came from Juechen from the south and arrived directly in front of him.
"My lord, the Wu navy has been dispatched and is heading upstream. The vanguard is already more than ten miles away."
A sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Liang's mouth, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Probe again and report again."
"Yuan Zhi, it seems that the Wu people really think they are invincible in water combat. What you expected is indeed true." Yan Liang squinted his gaze.
Xu Shu raised his head to look at the sky and said with a smile: "Today the sky is clear and the clouds are clear, and there is a favorable wind. It seems that God is really helping my lord."
Yan Liang smiled slightly and continued to cast his gaze into the distance.
After traveling for less than half an hour, countless cloud sails gradually appeared on the river in the south, and the Wu fleet traveling upstream came into view.
Yan Liang reined in his horse, stared at it for a moment, raised his whip and said: "The distance is almost there, please pass the order to General Xingba."
When the order was given, the herald went straight to the shore officer and waved the red command ship towards the navy on the Han River.
Gan Ning's navy responded quickly, and the giant raft hidden behind the ship was quickly towed to the front of the fleet.
At a glance, there were thousands of giant rafts, so vast that they almost covered the entire river surface.
On the fighting ship, Gan Ning looked down at the spectacular scene of thousands of rafts covering the river. A cold smile flashed across his lips, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Light the fire!"
