With a long voice, the herald rushed in. Zhou Yu frowned slightly, because this messenger was not part of the navy, and it was obvious that something big had happened elsewhere. "At this time, the war situation in Jiangdong should have begun, and everything is peaceful. Why are you here for no reason?" Zhou Yu kept guessing in his mind, but unfortunately found nothing. "Where are you subordinate? Why are you here?" Zhou Yu asked. "Report to the general! This subordinate is the envoy of the lord's ministry. I have been ordered by the lord to come here to deliver the order to the three generals." The visitor said seriously. Hearing this, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai all changed their expressions. After coming back to their senses, the three men quickly stood up and bowed: "Zhou Yu (Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai) listen to the order!" "My lord has an order! Order General Zhou Yu to lead the navy and go south along the river to look for opportunities to capture Chaisang." As he spoke, he took out a letter and presented it with both hands. Zhou Yu took the letter and opened it, with a hint of joy on his face. He handed the letter to Jiang Qin casually, then turned to the messenger and asked, "My lord, do you have any other instructions?" "My lord, the arrangements have been made for Poyang and Yuzhang. It just depends on how General Zhou uses his troops." Zhou Yu's mind After flashing through the contents of the letter, his face became even more joyful. "Okay! If you reply to my lord, Zhou Yu will definitely live up to his expectations." Zhou Yu is now much more tactful. If it had been before, he would have issued a military order on the spot, vowing to take down Chaisang. "My subordinates will definitely bring him." The visitor bowed slightly, said goodbye and left. Zhou Yu personally delivered it. In the revolving hall, Zhou Yu said to Jiang and Tuesday: "Two generals! The opportunity for our navy to make meritorious deeds has finally come." Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were more delighted than Zhou Yu. They have been training the navy for two years, and so far they have not After a battle, one can imagine the desire in the heart. At the moment, the two of them ignored the conflict with Zhou Yu and said in unison: "But it depends on the general's orders!" "Okay!" It was rare for the two to be respectful. Zhou Yu was also slightly happy in his heart and ordered: "Send the order to the three armies to set off south overnight. Go straight to Chai Sang. "Huh?" Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai both opened their mouths and looked at Zhou Yu in surprise. Setting off overnight? Isn't it too hasty? Zhou Tai had a direct temper and said in a rough voice: "General! I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Our army is unprepared. We have not yet collected food, grass, ordnance. How can we send troops?" After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yu with a slight disdain. Zhou Yu also noticed Zhou Tai's gaze and said calmly: "Soldiers are very fast, how can we delay? The army has been training recently and has not slackened off for a moment, so there is no need to worry about the ordnance. As for the food and grass, all you need to do is take away all the food in the camp. "There is no need to call elsewhere." Jiang Qin frowned and said, "General! The army only has enough food for three months. It will take more than ten days for our army to go south. Are you sure that we can defeat Chaisang in less than three months?" "Why do we need three months to break Chai Sang? One month is enough!" Zhou Yu said calmly: "The two generals just do their best. If this battle is not won, I will tie myself in front of the lord and wait for disposal." Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were skeptical, but Zhou Yu was He was the general. Even if they had objections, they could do nothing. Moreover, Zhou Yu was so confident that they couldn't help but believe it. "In that case! We will obey the general's order." Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai looked at each other and replied in unison. After the two of them left, Zhou Yu found his confidants. This man¡¯s name is Zhou Yan, he is a servant of the Zhou family, he is loyal and loyal, and Zhou Yu trusts him very much. "Uncle Yan! You are like this This matter is related to the success or failure of the war. It must be handled well." Zhou Yu secretly instructed. Zhou Yan took the order and went. That night, 20,000 sailors boarded the ship, took advantage of the darkness and sailed out of the water village, and plunged into the vast river. ¡ In Yuzhang City, since the previous battle, Yuan Jun¡¯s offensive has gradually slowed down. Most of the time, the archers and crossbowmen of both sides were shooting at each other. Of course, there were also bombardments by Yuan Jun¡¯s catapults. However, hand-to-hand combat never happened again. At this moment, a piece of news came from Poyang Lake, which panicked Liu Yao. Everyone gathered in the prefect¡¯s mansion. "Mr. Kuai Liang! Yuan Jun is preparing warships in Poyang Lake. Apparently he plans to cross Poyang Lake and attack Chaisang. What should we do?" Liu Yao looked anxious. Fan Neng's death made Liu Yao completely give up on the people under his command. Now, he can only place all his hopes on Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang said calmly: "Don't worry, Ming Gong! My lord has ordered General Su Fei to blockade Poyang Lake, and Yuan Shu has no navy under his command, so it is absolutely impossible to sneak across." Yuan Shu's formation of the navy was very secretive, and the army followed Kuai Liang naturally didn't know until he left Chaohu Lake. "Humph! Yuan Shu is nothing more than that!" Kuai Liang saidHe was secretly disdainful. He had already expected the plan to attack Chaisang secretly and had made all preparations. Liu Yao said gratefully: "Brother Jing Sheng is so kind, I will definitely repay you in the future." "Thank you Ming Gong!" Kuai Liang said politely. After a pause, Kuai Liang reminded: "You can rest assured, Duke Ming of Poyang Lake, but we need to be more careful along the Gan River to prevent Yuan Jun from attacking from the east and from the west and sneaking across the Gan River." Kuai Liang is still quite confident about his own navy, but he can't Liu Yao, he has no confidence. ¡°Moreover, Kuai Liang also has selfish motives. You must know that for Jingzhou, Luling is more important than Chaisang. If Luling is lost, Jingnan will definitely be gained by Yuan Shu, which is undisputed; but Chaisang is not the case. Even if it is lost, Jiangxia will be there. Resist without fear. Liu Yao naturally didn't know what Kuai Liang was thinking, so he nodded and said: "Sir, don't worry! I have already ordered people to block the coast of Gan River. Even if Yuan Jun spreads his wings, it will be difficult for him to fly over." Kuai Liang nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Yuan Jun is on the offensive these days. It's gradually slowing down. The pressure on Yuzhang City is not great. Ming Gong can focus all his attention on Poyang Lake and Ganshui to prevent accidents. " "Thank you sir for reminding me!" Liu Yao responded directly without thinking. Kuai Liang smiled, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and said secretly: "Although this person is incompetent and has a narrow vision, he is not without merit. At least he can listen to good advice." In this regard, Kuai Liang is also quite satisfied. Fortunately, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If Yuzhang is lost, how can Jingzhou survive alone? ¡ In the next few days, inside and outside Yuzhang City, the two armies fought tepidly, waiting for the results of other battlefields. On this day, Yuan Shu summoned Xun You, Feng Ji, and Jia Xu. "Counting the days, the navy is about to land ashore, and the attack on Chaisang is just around the corner. I'll make preparations early that morning!" Yuan Shu didn't know that Zhou Yu ordered the army to set off on the day the order arrived. He had already landed two days ago and headed straight for Chaisang. , if it were not for the purpose of hiding their whereabouts, I am afraid that the army would have reached the city by now. Xun You said: "Lord, don't worry! Once Chaisang is lost, Yuzhang will be shaken, and our army can take advantage of the situation to break the city." Yuan Shu nodded slightly, turned to Jia Xu, and asked, "What do Wen He think?" Jia Xu pondered for a moment, Said: "Chaisang is an important town in Yuzhang County. It has accumulated countless grains and grass. With this, it can sweep all over the country and completely isolate Yuzhang City. My subordinates believe that the lord should first destroy the Liu army along the Gan River and station troops. This way After capturing Chaisang, Liu Yao will be the turtle in the urn. "What a vicious strategy. This is to completely cut off Liu Yao's retreat!" Xun You frowned and said: "Although Wen He's plan is good and can completely solve all hidden dangers, if Liu Yao is forced too quickly and defends Yuzhang City, won't we lose more than we gain? In my opinion, we should not let him cross the river. Do what they say." What the two of them said was reasonable. Yuan Shu hesitated and looked at Feng Ji. Feng Ji also had a different opinion and said: "My lord! You can ignore our troops along the Gan River. We can use this to paralyze Liu Yao and then ambush him halfway. We will definitely win a complete victory." Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Yuan Tu This plan is very clever." Feng Ji said modestly: "My lord, it's just a combination of Wen He and Gong Da. It's really clever." "Haha! Yuan Tu is too modest." Yuan Shu smiled and turned to Xun You. , Jia Xu asked, "Do Gongda and Wenhe agree with Yuan Tu's plan?" "My subordinates have no objections!" Xun You said. Jia Xu nodded slightly and agreed: "Yuan Tu's plan is brilliant! After our army ambush, we can take advantage of the situation to pursue and drive Liu Jun down the Gan River. It is impossible to catch them all!" All three people agreed, and the matter was over. That's settled. Immediately, Yuan Shu ordered Wei Yan and Lejiu to lead an army each and secretly sneaked through Yuzhang City to ambush. Everything is arranged, just waiting for the outcome of the Chaisang battle. ¡ ¡ PS: Please collect, recommend, and reward! I sincerely beg you, gentlemen, I am shouting here every day, why don¡¯t you show some respect!
