    According to the arrangements of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Sun Ce joined the army Lu Su and Zhou Yu joined the army Liu Ye comprehensively handled the fake surrender. Lu Su and Liu Ye fully understood the intentions of the Supreme Staff, and they cooperated with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to write letters to Yuan Shao  Here, they sternly refused at first, and then under the temptation of Yuan Shao's increasing interests, the letters they sent to Yuan Shao gradually showed their dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, from a little dissatisfaction to full dissatisfaction, and they were dissatisfied with the conditions offered by Yuan Shao.  From being a little tempted to being very satisfied, with full cooperation, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu began to quietly let the Jingzhou caravan go.

    In these days, the intelligence Yuan Shao received was all good news. In addition to letters from Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai saying that they would surrender at a later date, Lu Bu's luxurious and luxurious life continued. Lu Bu married another beautiful concubine, and Linhuai people came to Linhuai.  Trainer.

    Yuan Shao smiled and said to his subordinate Wen Wu: "Lu Bu himself is in Luoyang, and the main force of the Central Army must also be in Luoyang. We can just go to Poyang Lake to receive Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's troops!"

    Xu You had reminded Yuan Shao several times before, but every time he was refuted by Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others, Yuan Shao did not listen. Xu You did not have any old friends with Lu Bu, so he could not act out the story of defecting to Cao Cao in Wuchao.  In that scene, Yuan Shao had to sit at home in silence, and the people surrounding Yuan Shao were either people with ulterior motives who were bribed by Lu Bu, or people who lacked intelligence. This team composition has already sealed its destiny.

    Yuan Shao gathered 300,000 troops, leaving his second son Yuan Xi to lead 50,000 troops to defend Jiangling. Yan Liang and Shen Pei led 50,000 troops to confront Cao Ren of Xiangyang, and his nephew Gao Gan led 50,000 troops to Cangwu County to accept Sun Ce's surrender.  soldiers, and he, Wen Chou, Han Meng, Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, his youngest son Yuan Shang and other counselors led one hundred thousand troops to receive the surrendered troops of Zhou Yu and Huang Gai. Yuan Shao thought about it and accepted the surrendered troops of Zhou Yu and Huang Gai.  , and by the way regained Jiangxia, which was occupied by Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao.  Yuan Shao also sent his eldest son Yuan Tan, general Wenpin and others with 50,000 troops to guard other cities in Jingzhou.

    Yuan Shao left Jiangling in high spirits. Thousands of warships covered the sky and covered the sun. They sailed down the river in a mighty manner. After more than ten days, they arrived at Jiangxia.  Jiangxia's garrison Zhang Liao was waiting in formation. Yuan Shao parked his fleet on the river bank outside Jiangxia City. He did not take advantage of the momentum to attack Jiangxia City. He wanted to wait for Zhou Yu and Huang Gai to lead the 50,000 Yangtze River navy.

    At this time, Jiangxia was the prototype of the three towns of Wuhan in the future. The city of a thousand lakes had already been formed. There were numerous large and small lakes between Jiangxia City and the Yangtze River. Yuan Shao's fleet was originally scattered in several lakes. Zhou Yu and Huang Gai sent a letter  came and said that Yuan Shao's fleet was too scattered.  If timely rescue is not possible, beware of Zhang Liao going out of the city to defeat them one by one. Also, a hurricane is approaching on the river in midsummer, so ships should not be anchored on the river.

    After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt that Zhou Yu's words were very reasonable, and asked Xun Chen, who had been flattering him the best recently: "What should we do?"

    Xun Chen thought for a moment and replied: "Yeliu Lake is the closest to Jiangxia City and has the largest area. It can accommodate our three thousand ships, so we might as well park them all in Yeliu Lake. On the one hand, we should be prepared to attack Jiangxia City.  While being prepared to receive the troops of Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, we can also avoid the hurricane on the river this season!"

    Yuan Shao was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly ordered all ships to sail into Yeliu Lake.

    Two days later, a strong northwest wind blew on the river.  There was another heavy rain, which overturned many fishing boats. Yuan Shao believed Zhou Yu and Xun Chen's words even more. Thousands of warships were densely parked in Yeliu Lake, with only enough space between each warship for them to turn around.

    One day passed.  The strong wind from the northwest stopped and the heavy rain stopped. Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's 50,000-strong navy were less than fifty miles away from Yeliu Lake.

    Yuan Shao began to prepare a big banquet to entertain Zhou Yu and Huang Gai.

    Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's 50,000-strong naval force continued their march and arrived at the junction of Yeliu Lake and the Yangtze River that night. They began to send envoys to each other and agreed on a time to meet.

    Yuan Shao was very puzzled: "If Gong Jin comes, he can just come into Yeliu Lake. Why bother to agree on a time?"

    The envoy sent by Zhou Yu said: "L¨¹ Bu has placed many trusted generals in the army. We can only control more than 30,000 troops. Only by agreeing on a time can we sneak into Yeliu Lake. Otherwise, if we enter rashly, we will be suspected by other generals.  , then the success will be in vain.¡±

    Yuan Shao believed it, and according to the time agreed by Zhou Yu, at three o'clock that night, Yuan Shao's navy released the mouth of the lake, and Zhou Yu led the troops to surrender.

    At the second watch that night, the northwest wind that was originally blowing suddenly turned into a southeast wind. The counselors around Yuan Shao felt that the wind direction had become a bit strange, but because no one understood the geography here, they didn't think much about it.

    Yuan Shao had his handsome ship decorated with magnificent dragon sculptures and paintings. He also lit hundreds of oil lamps and candles, illuminating the handsome ship like daylight.

    Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai stood on the bow of the Yangtze River Navy's handsome ship, looking through telescopesLook, Zhou Yu laughed loudly and said: "Have you seen it? The big ship with the most gorgeous mouth must be Yuan Shao's handsome ship. We must blow up this big ship later. The other generals will do their jobs and cut off Yuan Shao's water.  The waterway through which the army fled."

    Generals Huang Gai, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Ling Cao obeyed the order, returned to their respective warships, and began to prepare for action.

    There were twenty small boats under the banner of Huang Gai. The boats were so full that they seemed to be filled with grain and grass.

    Yuan Shao also had a telescope here. When he saw that the small boat was piled with grain and grass, he smiled and said to the generals: "It must be Zhou Yu and Huang Gai who sent the grain to us first to show their sincerity!"

    All the civil and military officials nodded in agreement and praised the lord as wise.

    Xu You thought to himself, since it was to deliver food, why use such a small boat? There must be fraud in it. He wanted to remonstrate directly, but seeing that Yuan Shao was so satisfied with the flattery of the civil and military officials, he would definitely not listen to him.  The loyal advice was unpleasant to the ears, so Xu You quietly got off the handsome boat, changed to a stern boat, and asked his soldiers to row to the shore as hard as they could.

    After Zhou Yu's fleet entered Yeliu Lake, it was only seven or eight miles away from Yuan Shao's fleet. The forty stern boats had a deep draft, but under the blow of the southeast wind, they traveled very fast, and they were getting faster and faster, because  The soldiers on the ship kept quietly throwing stones under the grain and grass into the river. The southeast wind blew the lighter and lighter ships, making the ships under full sail move faster and faster. When they were one mile away from Yuan Shaoshuai's ship,  Twenty small boats rushed forward as fast as lightning.  The ship was all set on fire, and all the sailors on the ship turned over into the water and disappeared.

    Xu You escaped, and everyone else was busy flattering Yuan Shao. No one noticed that the waterline of the ship was getting shallower and shallower, and no one noticed that the ship's speed was getting faster and faster.  It wasn't until a fire was lit on the ship and they headed straight for the handsome ship that these Yuan Jun's civil and military generals woke up from a dream, but it was already too late.

    Four of the forty boats collided with Yuan Shao's handsome ship. Special gunpowder devices were placed on the four boats. They exploded in the violent collision and blew up the front end of the handsome ship on the spot. Yuan Shao's civil and military ministers had just  Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao were standing at the front of the deck waiting, but they were all blown up into the sky by gunpowder.

    Yuan Shao was trying to show off in front of Zhou Yu.  He was still wearing a golden helmet and golden armor. The golden helmet and golden armor fell into the water and sank quickly. Later, after being rescued by Cai Hao, Zhang Yun and other navy generals, he had already drank enough water and rolled his eyes on the spot.

    The food and grass in the small boat were sprinkled with gunpowder and oil. Fires rose into the sky and began to burn the handsome boat.  The fire on the handsome ship spread rapidly, blown by the strong southeast wind.  More than 30 other warships loaded with gunpowder and oil ran rampant among Yuan Shao's fleet. After knocking down Yuan Jun's ships, they quickly exploded and caught fire. The fire became more and more intense. At first, only more than 30 Yuan Jun warships were destroyed.  The fires spreading on these warships expanded rapidly.

    Because there was no way to implement the chain plan, Yuan Jun's ships were not locked.  They were moving in an orderly manner. Many ships that were far away from the handsome ship were desperately sliding to the shore. Seeing that Yuan Jun on some ships was about to rush off the ship and escape, the gates of Jiangxia City were opened wide.  Two men and horses were killed inside. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang led 40,000 men to outflank Yuan's army in a roundabout way, blocking Yuan's army in the water. Anyone who tried to escape ashore was either captured alive or shot down by random arrows.

    Some ships tried to sail to other lakes, only to find that Yangtze Navy ships had been ambushed at the interfaces of those lakes.

    Seeing that Yuan Shao's handsome ship was bombed, and Yuan Shao's life and death were unknown, Zhou Yu happily ordered that the 50,000 sailors of the Yangtze River Navy and the 40,000 horses of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang on the shore shouted in unison: "Yuan Shao is dead! Yuan Shao is dead!"

    Many officers and soldiers of Yuan's army saw Yuan Shao's handsome ship being blown up with their own eyes. Some even saw Yuan Shao's body being blown up into the air and then falling into the water. It took a long time before they were rescued. Their morale suddenly collapsed.  Not many people could stabilize their minds to organize resistance. Zhou Yu led the Yangtze River Navy to swarm in and beat Yuan Shao's navy.

    This one-sided war lasted all night. The 100,000 navy troops that Yuan Shao had managed to save were almost completely wiped out. In the end, only Yuan Shang, Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, Han Meng, and Wen Chou were left with more than 10,000 remaining soldiers and Yuan Shao's body.  , broke out of the siege and fled to Jiangling in embarrassment. Zhou Yu, commanding the Yangtze River Navy, continued to pursue them all the way to Jiangling City.

    At this time, Lu Bu's flag was flying in Jiangling City.

    Yuan Shang was shocked: "Isn't Lu Bu getting married to Bu Lianshi now? Why is he here?"

    A few days ago, Yan Liang also asked himself this question. Lu Bu quietly dispatched 50,000 elite troops from Luoyang to Wancheng, Xinye, and Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's ministries who had recently been stationed here. With 100,000 troops, they quickly attacked with thunderous momentum.  The military camps of Yan Liang and Shen Pei were surrounded.

    When Yan Liang's men saw Lu Bu's flag flying on the front line, they all lost the courage to resist.

      Yan Liang tried to save the defeat by relying on single combat, but he was captured alive by Lu Bu after no more than ten rounds. Lu Bu let him go, and Zhao Yun and Wei Yan tortured Yan Liang instead. Yan Liang sadly discovered that the martial arts skills were almost the same as his own.  Zhao Yun defeated him in the 30th round, and Wei Yan, who was originally inferior to him, defeated him in the 60th round. All this changed because they had a good lord, and he got the whole truth of the matter from Lu Bu's mouth, and knew that Yuan Shao  This time it was definitely over. After thinking about it for a long time, he killed Shen Pei and took refuge with Lu Bu.

    Lu Bu stood at the top of Jiangling City, smiling at Yuan Shang's embarrassment. He waved his halberd, and Yan Liang took the lead. He led 10,000 central cavalry and killed more than 10,000 remnants of Yuan's army who had begun to land. A massacre began for a while, and then  It was declared over.

    Wen Chou was persuaded to surrender by Yan Liang, and Han Meng was killed. Cai Hao and Zhang Yun protected Yuan Shang and continued to retreat upstream with more than a thousand remaining soldiers.
