South Bank, Red Cliff. The camp of the coalition forces of Cao and Sun. On the wide beach, Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and Zhou Yu stood side by side on horseback, looking at the water camp in the distance and the more than a thousand warships. Their brows were full of determination to win. "Bo Fu, Meng De, you see, Yuan Fang's troops have huddled in Wulin on the north bank and dare not go out to fight. Even if he has hundreds of thousands of troops, they will be useless when they reach the Yangtze River. Sooner or later, they will be defeated by us. When the time comes, , we can work hard to drive him out of Jingzhou." Zhou Yu pointed his horse whip ahead and planned the situation in the near future with high spirits. Sun Ce nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I thought Yuan Thief would have many naval forces, but it turned out that they were only 30,000 men, and they were still led by unknown people like Lu Meng. It would be strange if he did not fail." Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, crossing the Yangtze River, are invincible. Even Cao Cao was afraid of three points. However, Lu Meng, who was promoted by Yuan Fang, was an unknown person. It was not until the Battle of Han River that he led the Tengjia Army to sneak attack Cai Mao's navy and gradually became famous. With the strength of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, they are certainly qualified. They disdain Lu Meng and Yuan Fang's employment. Zhou Yu even smiled: "After retaking Jingzhou, the door to the north will be opened, Bo Fu, you can take advantage of the opportunity to go north, and the day of conquering the Central Plains is just around the corner." Sun Ce couldn't help laughing, showing his pride. The two of them spoke very arrogantly, and kept saying that they wanted to recover Jingzhou, as if Jingzhou belonged to them and had nothing to do with Cao Cao. "The strength of Thief Yuan should not be underestimated, and Lu Meng is also a talented general, I think. We should not be too optimistic." Around the two of them, Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore. Verbal reminder. Zhou Yu glanced at Cao Cao and sneered: "Is it possible that General Meng De was so afraid of Yuan's thieves? Don't forget, this is the Yangtze River. No matter how powerful Yuan's thieves are, he can just show off his evil on land. Is it true? I still want to go wild on the Yangtze River." Zhou Yu's words are not only arrogant, but also full of words. There is also a bit of satire on Cao Cao. "But" Cao Cao's brows immediately condensed, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he didn't know what to say. Sun Ce had already said: "Mengde, you don't have to worry anymore. On the Yangtze River, our navy from Jingyang and the two states join forces, who is still our opponent? Just show your confidence and prepare to defeat that man severely." Thief Yuan, take revenge." "Bo Fu said so." Cao Cao could only smile and nodded in agreement. There is no way, who made Cao Cao lose his troops and territory, and now he has fled to Sun Ce's territory. It is necessary to rely on Sun Ce's navy to save the defeat. Of course, when you live under someone else¡¯s roof, you have to swallow your anger. As soon as he finished speaking, a scout on horseback rushed over and arrived directly in front of Cao Cao. "This is my lord, the eldest son. The eldest son is back alive." The shocking information was blown away. Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed in shock. First, he was stunned for a long time, and then, endless surprise burst out from his scorched face. "Ang'er is still alive? He's not dead?" Cao Cao's voice was hoarse, and his excitement and surprise were beyond words. At this time, Cao Ang galloped over on his horse, dismounted from his saddle, and fell at Cao Cao's feet. When Cao Cao saw that his beloved eldest son had returned to him alive, he was so ecstatic that he jumped off his horse. When the father and son met, they embraced each other and cried. Behind them, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at this scene, but looked at each other with doubts on their faces. "Sir, Mr. Cao, I heard that you were captured alive by Yuan Fang. This thief is cruel by nature. I wonder how you came back?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but question, his tone was a bit strange. The excitement of the Cao family's father and son meeting was interrupted by Zhou Yu's questions. "Yes, Ang'er, how did you escape?" Cao Cao wiped away his tears and was very suspicious, thinking that his son escaped by himself. A trace of shame flashed across Cao Ang's face, but he took a deep breath and sighed: "I dare not lie to my father. To be honest, my son was let go by Yuan Fang on his own initiative." Yuan Fang let him go on his own initiative? Not only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but also Cao Cao himself looked surprised. You should know that Yuan Fang had already killed Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, Cao Ren, and Cao Zhang, and five of Cao Cao's relatives. He almost wanted to kill all his Cao family. Now, Yuan Fang has captured Cao Cao's eldest son alive. He is such an important figure in the Cao family. It's okay if he doesn't kill him. How can he possibly bring him back alive? Cao Zhang then told the truth how Yuan Fang killed Zhang Ren, how he defeated him with one move, captured him alive, imprisoned him in the army, and how he released him yesterday. "Then Yuan FangOkay, the reason why he released his son was so that he could bring his father a letter from him? "An autographed letter?" Cao Ang said, taking out one from his arms and giving it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao didn't think much about it, and subconsciously took it, with a suspicious look on his face, and opened it to read. Counting the lines at a glance, After looking at it for a long time, Cao Cao frowned secretly, "I wonder what this thief Yuan has written for you, Meng De, let us take a look. "Zhou Yu was suspicious, so he stretched out his hand and snatched the letter from Cao Cao's hand. "You¡ª¡ª" Cao Cao was too late to snatch it away, and the letter had already fallen into Zhou Yu's hand. Zhou Yu glanced at it for a few times, then squeezed out a sneer from the corner of his mouth: "No wonder Yuan The thief will let Mr. Ling go. It turns out that he is showing his sincerity to Mengde and wants to recruit you to surrender. "Zhou Yu sarcastically and sarcastically handed the letter to Sun Ce. Sun Ce took it and took a look, his sword eyebrows couldn't help but frowned, and a trace of anger quietly appeared between his eyebrows. Yuan Fang's autographed letter was indeed for Sun Ce. A personal letter from Cao Cao. However, in the letter, Yuan Fang expressed his appreciation for Cao Cao and hoped that Cao Cao would take the world's great interests into consideration and submit to him to help him achieve his great cause. In addition to his appreciation for Cao Cao, Yuan Fang followed suit. In the letter, he also expressed his disdain for Sun Ce and clearly pointed out that Sun Ce was the weak spot of their Cao-Sun coalition. If Cao Cao joins forces with him, he will undoubtedly lose. And the sentence "The only heroes in the world are me, Meng De, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others." "They are all clowns", which is particularly conspicuous. "What a Yuan Fang." How dare you treat me, Sun Ce, as a clown. hateful! " Sun Ce's temper was already irritable. Yuan Fang's words deeply stimulated his self-esteem. He tore the letter into pieces several times. Zhou Yu also glanced at Cao Cao and sneered: "What a pity. , although I, Jiangdong, am nothing remarkable. But at least you have managed to survive until now. Meng De, you are a hero in the eyes of Yuan Thief, but you are now in such a state of despair. " Zhou Yu, who was also arrogant, was obviously stimulated by Yuan Fang's letter, and even openly mocked Cao Cao. A sudden anger arose in Cao Cao's heart. He was about to explode. But at the last moment, Cao Cao Still suppressing his anger, he said sternly: "Bo Fu, haven't you understood yet? This is Yuan Fang's alienation plan, and you are all wise men. How could I fall into that thief Yuan's trick! "With one word, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were woken up. The two looked at each other with embarrassment in their eyes, as if they were ashamed that they had fallen into Yuan Fang's plan of alienation. Although they were woken up by Cao Cao. How could he admit it? Zhou Yu immediately laughed wildly and said proudly: "Thief Yuan is just trying to be cruel on land. If you still dare to look down on you and me, Bo Fu, why don't we just issue a challenge to that thief Yuan and have a battle with him tomorrow to let him know how powerful we are. "Okay, since Yuan Thief regards me as a local chicken and a tile dog, I, Sun Ce, will let him have a taste of what it will cost to despise me." "Sun Ce was also so arrogant that he immediately returned to his account, wrote a letter of war, and sent someone to cross the river that day to challenge Yuan Fang. Wulin on the north bank, the Qi army's camp. That evening, Sun Ce's arrogance The challenge letter was sent to the camp and into the hands of Yuan Fang. In the Chinese army's tent, the atmosphere of chilling was flowing wildly. Yuan Fang sat there with his eyes condensed and his face as cold as ice. He stared at the letter of challenge in his hand with a sarcastic look. "It seems that my alienation strategy has worked. In order to show their strength to Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took the initiative to challenge me. " Yuan Fang sneered and showed the war letter to the ministers in the tent. It was a simple and straightforward war letter. Each stroke seemed to convey a sense of arrogance. Yuan Fang seemed to have seen Sun Ce. That face was full of provocation. ¡°Your Majesty, since Sun Ce is seeking death and wants to fight us, what are you waiting for? Beat him up, you son of a bitch! "The fierce general Tai Shici was furious and shouted for war. "Your Majesty, our navy only has 30,000 people, and it has not experienced actual combat on the water. However, the navy of Cao and Sun coalition has at least 50,000, all of whom are elites. I thought that Sun Ce's challenge was to deliberately anger His Majesty, and His Majesty must not fall into his trap. " Fazheng, however, remained calm and clearly understood the disparity in the strength of the navy between the two sides. Yuan Fang slowly tore the letter of challenge in his hand into pieces and said coldly: "Sun Ce and the others are so rampant, nothing more than that. They are self-reliant on my naval force and are not as good as them. I just want to let them know that no matter whether it is on water or land, no one can stop me from dominating the world. ¡± If you want to fight, then fight! ¡ The next day, at dawn, Wulin Water Camp. . Wearing heavy armor, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a red cloak on his back, Yuan Fang stood tall like a god of war, holding a halberd in his hand and sitting on his hip with a red rabbit, and slowly walked towards the pier on the shore. Thirty thousand naval officers and soldiers are all fully armed. Their swords and halberds are as thick as a forest, almost chilling the sky. The mighty military force changes the color of the world. Those steel bodies were arrayed as solid as a rock. When Yuan Fang's figure appeared in their field of vision, countless pairs of eyes burst out with extremely excited expressions. The god-like Emperor of Qi, who has been victorious in every battle, is right in front of his eyes. How can these young warriors not feel excited? When Lu Meng, Taizhong Ci, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin and other generals saw Yuan Fang riding past, they all bowed their heads in greeting, making no secret of their respect for Yuan Fang. On the shore of Zhuma, Yuan Fang looked around at the soldiers, and a feeling of pride arose in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "The soldiers of Daqi, those rampant enemies, look down on us and think that we dare not fight with them in water. Today, it is time to teach them a lesson and let them know that we, Daqi The army is also invincible on the Yangtze River!" The sound like a roar spread throughout the camp, drowning out the sound of the rolling river, and echoed in the ears of all the soldiers. They were silent, and the fighting spirit in their blood was quickly being ignited. "Today, I order you to release the anger in your heart, follow me, and kill each other happily. We will let the self-righteous enemies know who is the real master of the rolling Yangtze River-" Metallic screams , soaring into the sky. The blood of the entire army reached its boiling peak in an instant. Thirty thousand soldiers waved their weapons and roared wildly. The floodgates in their hearts had been opened, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time was pouring out like a torrent. Yuan Fang glanced toward the southeast with razor-sharp eyes. Fang Tian raised his halberd and shouted: "The whole army sets off¡ª¡ª"
