    In the evening, on the north bank of the Han River, the Jiangdong Army barracks.

    The setting sun passed through the thick clouds and cast thousands of light beams, dyeing the river surface red.  Zhou Yu stared at the river in front of him in trance, letting his mount circle back and forth on the shore.  Only in front of such a turbulent country, Zhou Yu could feel how insignificant a person's power is, but at the same time, a voice kept echoing in his ears, telling him that he needed to bear all this by himself.  [bsp; The heroes of the past are about to grow old, and a new generation of heroes will rise.  Zhou Yu turned around and looked at the soldiers standing behind him. These young men all had the same dream as him, and were brave enough to love and kill in the whirlpool of troubled times. The young Jiangdong was slowly becoming stronger.  Zhou Yu took a deep breath and asked Gan Ning, who was looking very good, "Xingba, how are the things I asked you to prepare?"

    "Grand Governor, please rest assured, it's all right." Gan Ning said loudly and decisively.  Gan Ning waved his fist in the air and added: "That's right!"

    "That's good." Zhou Yu laughed, turned the horse's head, and whipped the horse's butt.

    "We will take advantage of this time to completely solve the major issue in Jingzhou!"

    Jingzhou Military Water Village.

    "General, the drums suddenly sounded loudly in the water stronghold of the Jiangdong Army on the other side of the river. It seems that they are going to fight us to the death!" A spy stumbled into the warship of the Jingzhou Navy Commander and reported to Cai Mao.  Cai Mao made a silent gesture and listened carefully. Sure enough, the Jiangdong Water Village across the river was already filled with the sound of drums.

    "Zhou Yu, this shrinking tortoise, finally couldn't bear it anymore!" Zhang Yun excitedly geared up and volunteered: "General, please give me ten ships and thousands of soldiers. I will definitely be able to break through the Jiangdong water formation and capture Zhou Yu alive.  !¡±

    Cai Hao frowned and waved his hands: "General Zhang is brave, but he is too impulsive. Think about it, Zhou Yu has been confronting our army on the river for several months, and he has been doing nothing during this long time.  Dongjing, how could you take the initiative to ask for a fight today? There is something fishy about this matter, there must be some fraud."

    "Perhaps something big happened in Jingbei?" Zhang Yun said anxiously, "General, the opportunity to fight is fleeting. If there is a delay, you will regret it!" Zhang Yun is so anxious for his own reasons.  It stands to reason that this person has been a general in Jingzhou for a long time, and he has always followed Cai Mao's lead. Now Cai's situation in Jiangling City is worrying, and he can't help but worry about whether the fire at the city gate will affect him, a fish in the pond, so he has this crisis in front of him.  No wonder he was tempted by the opportunity for the enemy to return.

    "Send orders to all ministries to prepare for battle. No one is allowed to leave the stronghold without my order!" Cai Hao ordered in a deep voice.  Although his resourcefulness is not as good as that of a counselor, and his political skills are a mess, in terms of water warfare, Cai Mao can be said to live up to the title of "the first person in Jingxiang water warfare".  At this critical juncture, Cai Hao calmly chose to focus on defense and remain unchanged in the face of changes.  Because the few tens of thousands of ace troops left in Jingzhou and the Cai family now share weal and woe, they can no longer suffer any damage.

    But in the final analysis, the Jingzhou navy is still worthy of being the best navy in the world. Not long after Cai Mao's military order was passed down, all the ministries had already arranged their battle formations, assisting each other and mastering the art of war.  On the other hand, the Jiangdong Army on the other side beat drums for a long time, but never saw the warship leaving the stronghold.  Cai Mao suspected that Zhou Yu was sending a small boat to attack at night, so he ordered more torches to be lit, illuminating the south bank of the Han River as if it were daylight, but there was still no shadow of a boat on the river.

    "Damn it, what the hell is that bastard Zhou Yu doing?" Zhang Yun squinted his eyes and looked around.  Cai Mao took a deep breath and felt that the current situation was very strange. He quickly ordered the spies to drive a small boat out of the stronghold to explore the situation.

    "Report~" After about a cup of tea, the spy returned to the water stronghold in a small boat and reported to Cai Hao sweating profusely: "General, the enemy's water stronghold is empty, and even the warships have disappeared.  !¡±

    "Empty stronghold!?" Zhang Yun's eyes widened, "Then what's going on with this drum sound?"

    "The villain risked his life and broke into the enemy's water stronghold. He saw several live sheep hanging on the trees in the land camp. There were war drums under the sheep. When the sheep fluttered, their front hooves would step on the war drums, so there was a beating.  drum."

    "What kind of trick is Zhou Yu doing" Cai Hao frowned, waved his hand and ordered: "Explore again!"

    Spies were sent out continuously, but the news they brought back was exactly the same as the first one. Not only was the Jiangdong Army's water stronghold empty, but not even a single person could be seen in the Army military stronghold behind it. This army of ten thousand people seemed like  It seemed to evaporate in an instant.

    "Zhou Yu bluffed and secretly withdrew the main force. Could it be that there was really a change in Jingbei?" Cai Hao paced on the boat and pondered.

    Zhang Yun stepped forward and admonished: "General, Zhou Yu hung a sheep and beat the drums, pretending, obviously because he was afraid that our army would pursue him from behind. At the end of the dayThe general suggested to cross the river immediately, pursue Zhou Yu, kill the traitor army, and conquer Jingbei!  "

    "What General Zhang said is reasonable, we agree with you!" Several generals also agreed.  Zhang Yun leaned close to Cai Mao's ear and lowered his voice: "General, after killing the Jiangdong army that invaded the border, we can return to Jiangling as soon as possible. I'm afraid the general will change later!"

    "Can't you see that this is Zhou Yu's child's trick?" Although Cai Hao knew that Zhang Yun had good intentions, he still couldn't help but said: "Zhou Yu is very good at using troops. Even if there is a real change in Jingbei, he will not fail to do so."  Leave a force to contain us. Think about it, if we let us cross the Han River easily, wouldn't he be attacked from both sides and seek death?"

    "General, Zhou Yu is just a kid in his twenties. The smell of milk in his mouth has not gone away, and the hair on his head is still there. I'm afraid he doesn't have the wisdom of the general." Zhang Yun said doubtfully.

    "It's better to believe that something exists than to believe something doesn't exist. It's always right to be careful with your troops."

    "General, can we cross the river?" Zhang Yun asked cautiously.

    "How can I fail!" Cai Mao said bitterly, "Since the Jiangdong Army invaded the border, our Jingzhou army has suffered repeated defeats, and its morale is low. As a general in Jingzhou, if I dare not enter even an empty stronghold now, what will happen in the future?"  There is no need to go into battle anymore." Cai Mao waved his hand and passed down the general's order: "The entire army obeys the order, forms a defensive formation, and crosses the river together! All leading generals need to be careful of Zhou Yu's treacherous tricks. If anything unusual happens, report it immediately!"

    "The general will take your orders!" Zhang Yun and others promised in a loud voice, and went down to lead the army across the river.  At the same time, Cai Mao ordered his spies to search carefully along both sides of the Han River in boats to prevent Jiangdong's army from ambush.  However, until all the troops and horses had crossed the river, nothing happened.

    "All troops stop!" Cai Hao mounted his war horse after landing ashore and looked carefully at Jiangdong Army's army stronghold not far away. "All troops must not act rashly. Don't enter the enemy stronghold for the time being. Be careful that Zhou Yu has an ambush."  !¡±

    "General, why don't you send spies to explore the surrounding area first?" Zhang Yun also felt more and more guilty as he advanced. The empty Jiangdong Army stronghold in front of him gave him a creepy feeling for no reason.

    Cai Mao nodded and sent dozens more spies out, eager to turn the entire north bank of the Han River upside down.  Not long after, the spies reported back one after another. There were no ambushes around, and there were no abnormalities in the stronghold. Jiangdong Army had really withdrawn.

    "Withdrawing troops at this critical moment Is it just my luck, or is this guy Zhou Yu playing some tricks?" Cai Hao raised his head and saw only the dim stars in the dark night sky and the desolate hanging of a cold moon.  On the horizon.
