Chapter 144: The First Battle at the Three River Estuary

"Don't hide it from Zichu, when I ambushed Liu Cong in the Waterfall Valley in the past, I once met a tiger with the middle stage of God Refining, if I can kill this tiger and take away the qi and blood of this beast, I am sure that I will set foot in the late stage of God Refining within a year."

Thinking of the terrifying tiger in the Waterfall Valley, Liu Pan was not afraid, some... It's just endless heat.

If you become a late stage of refining, then... What he is facing will be a completely different world.

"That's it... The general can rest assured that he will go north, and Ba will definitely handle the affairs here! ”

At this moment, Liu Ba finally figured out why Liu Pan was so persistent.

Fortunately, if Liu Pan can go further in the martial arts, and then subdue the grasp of Wuxi Nanban... It's bigger.

"General... Is there anything else to command? ”

Halfway through, Liu Ba noticed that Liu Pan seemed to have a little hesitation in his expression, and immediately asked.

"Definitely! There's just one thing..."

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Pan seemed a little silent.

"Oh! I don't know what makes our famous General Pan so hesitant? ”

"If the general doesn't know what to do, he might as well speak up and listen..."

Carefully reviewing the bits and pieces of working with Liu Pan for the rest of the month, Liu Pan... Perhaps this is the first time that such a cautious performance has been performed.

"It's not that I don't know what to do! It's not certain... This matter is consistent with my guess! ”

"Zichu doesn't think... After I came to Changsha, what I did... Is it a bit too much of a coincidence? ”

With a long sigh suddenly, Liu Pan looked up at the starry sky above Ancheng... There were a few confused colors in his eyes.

"What coincidence...?"

Suddenly hearing Liu Pan say this, Liu Ba didn't react for a while.

"Zhongjing Gong helps me take charge of Changsha?"

"I met Zichu..."

"Zhongjing Gong went north to Hanzhong..."

……

"I always felt that this one thing happened too much by coincidence! Seems... There was a big invisible hand pushing me forward behind my back! ”

"Does the general suspect that this matter is related to the Zhang clan in Hanzhong?"

Liu Ba had already heard of the relationship between Zhang Ji and the Zhang family in Hanzhong, and he heard Liu Pan's words at this moment... Naturally, I understood what Liu Pan meant.

"Isn't the general too worried! Although the Zhang family in Hanzhong has some strength, Zhang Gongqi is a person... I don't think there is such a scheming. ”

It's not that Liu Ba despises the Hanzhong Zhang family, but that's the case!

Even Liu Zhang can't be even, where does Zhang Lu have the confidence to meddle in Jingzhou's affairs?

"It's not too much!"

"Zhang Lu really doesn't have this kind of scheming, but that doesn't mean that others don't?"

Shaking his head, Liu Pan's eyes sank.

Zhang Lu's existence did share a lot of attention for that person.

"General... Suspect whom? ”

After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Liu Ba didn't think of when the Zhang family in Hanzhong had such a character?

Yan Pu?

How good at government affairs, if you expect him to come up with this kind of strategy for laying out a state, let's wash and sleep!

……

"Zhang Yong!"

Facing Liu Ba's gaze, Liu Pan spit out two words in his mouth.

"The prince of Hanzhong?"

"That's right! That's it! ”

"Is this son so capable? Isn't the general's evaluation of him too high! ”

Frowning, Liu Ba said with some suspicion.

Zhang Yong! Liu Ba somewhat understands! After all, when Zhang Ji invited him to Hanzhong, he mentioned Zhang Yong's name many times.

But... Liu Ba still doesn't believe that a teenager around seventeen years old can have this kind of skill?

There is no shortage of proud sons in this world, but... Don't expect everyone to be like Jiangdong Zhoulang and Zhenhou Guo Fengxiao.

At least in Liu Ba's cognition, the shallow water of the Zhang clan in Hanzhong can't produce this kind of real dragon.

"This assessment... Only low and not high! ”

"If I see this son for the first time one day, I will understand the hesitation in my heart."

Being able to obtain the land of seven counties between the forces of Jingzhou, Cao, and Liu Bei, this kind of character... How can they turn a blind eye or a deaf ear because of their age?

"So the general went north this time, in addition to going to the Waterfall Valley, he also wanted to go to Hanzhong... Go meet Zhang Yong and confirm whether the speculation in your heart is true? ”

Liu Ba finally understood why Liu Pan was so hesitant and entangled... Careful.

If it is really as Liu Pan speculated, he and Liu Pan... I'm afraid that I will become a pawn for others to disturb Jingzhou.

"That's right!!"

"If the general wants to go, then go! If the general doesn't untie this knot, he will definitely feel uneasy! ”

After being silent, Liu Ba suddenly laughed, like a candle flame, slowly dispelling the haze shrouded in Liu Pan's heart.

Even if the truth is really as Liu Pan said... And how?

In the centuries-old history of the Qin and Han dynasties, the chess pieces... It's not uncommon to end up fighting back and becoming a chess player.

As long as they take the four counties of Jingxiang, Jiaozhou in the south and Jingbei in the north, they just wait for the time to take advantage of the situation, their future... How could it be that a mere Hanzhong Zhang clan could control.

"Hearing Zichu's laughter, I only feel that my heart is clear!"

"Don't worry! This time I went north, at least half a month, more than a month, I will return! ”

……

The wind is gusting, and the river is flowing eastward.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao personally took command of the rear army, and more than 300 warships and warships of Cao's camp approached the mouth of the Sanjiang River under the command of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Sanjiangkou, Jiangdong Army Water Village.

The drums sounded, and I saw a clipper coming from upstream and entering the water village.

"Newspaper... Grand Governor! Report ahead! ”

"A large number of warships of the Cao army are coming towards our water village, and it is expected to arrive in an hour..."

Zhou Yu was handsome, and the sergeant who came to the newspaper half-knelt on the ground, bowing his head and reporting to Zhou Yuyu.

"Oh!"

"Cao Mengde finally couldn't help it!"

chuckled, Zhou Yu didn't reveal half a bit of worry because Cao Jun came to reveal it, some... It's just self-confidence in strategizing.

"Can you find out who is leading the army?"

"Back to the Grand Governor... The leaders are Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. ”

"It's the two of them!"

In response, Zhou Yu's eyes sank slightly.

Although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are not in the stream, they can be in the matter of water warfare... It is indeed a bit of real learning.

Looking up and down Jiangdong, there are only ten fingers left and right.

"Pass my military orders! Gan Ning was ordered to be the main general, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, and Han Dang were the deputy generals, and led 30,000 sailors to meet the enemy. ”

Throwing down the military book in his hand, Zhou Yu didn't show the slightest sign of standing up, but just summoned the herald... Two sentences were commanded.

……

When Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led a large number of warships to arrive at the Sanjiangkou Water Village, the generals of Ganning had already set up a formation, and more than 200 warships were lined up, cutting half of the Yangtze River.

Seeing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun leading the army, I saw Gan Ning waving the flag in his hand, and the warship under the seat moved, and he came straight to the front of a large number of warships of the Cao army.

"General Army, it's been a long time since !!"

Looking at Cai Mao's vague figure, Gan Ning let out a long howl, and the sound echoed between the Cao army's warships with the sweeping wind.

"Gan Ning... Thou slayer of the lord, what face do thou survive in the world? ”

For Gan Ning, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are naturally no strangers.

In the same way, the two also know... Gan Ning, who has always been known for his bravery, has great deterrent power among the soldiers of the Jingzhou Navy Division, and his expression suddenly couldn't help but change.

Zhou Gongjin... This is a good move.

"The general's words are wrong!"

"In the past, the one I respected was the royal family of the Han Dynasty, what to do with Huang Zu, how to come from the theory of master and servant!"

"It's the military general, for his own selfishness, in vain for the death of millions of soldiers in Jingxiang... did not hesitate to kill Liu Biao and Liu Cong, two state pastors, and took refuge in Cao Thief. Such wrists... It's really impressive! ”

Huang Zu's matter, Cai Mao naturally will not be the first to say it.

In the past few months in Jiangdong, he doesn't know how much he has heard!

Some things fade when you listen to them.

Can... This does not mean that he will endure this, and with a disdainful sneer, Gan Ning immediately retorted.

Hurt each other?

How could he have been afraid? It's just a bit of a surge in blood!

He has a hard body and can bear it!

Not far away, Cai Mao stood in front of the warship and heard Gan Ning's words... His expression suddenly changed wildly.

I was thinking about it in my heart, whether the things of the day had leaked the news!

Otherwise... How could Gan Ning know that he had harmed Liu Biao?

Gan Ning knows about this, which means that Jiangdong has received definite news!

What about Cao Cao?

With the pervasive means of the Dark Pavilion, Cao Cao must have known!

Can... If Cao Cao already knew the cause and effect of Liu Biao's death, why didn't he do it? What's going on behind the scenes?

This kind of taboo thing, does Cao Cao plan to settle accounts after the autumn, or does he plan to turn a blind eye?

For a while, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun broke out in a cold sweat.

"Gan Xingba, don't talk nonsense there!"

"My brother has worked hard for the foundation of the Liu family... For more than ten years, I have not dared to trespass at all! It's you, Gan Ning, ungrateful, I'm afraid you've forgotten... When you fled from Yizhou, who was... Took you in as a thief and gave you a place to stay! ”

……

Sensing that Cai Mao's expression was wrong, the Cai family disciples who were clustered around him... immediately took over Gan Ning's words and sprayed wildly at Gan Ning.

From three generations of ancestors, down to relatives and friends... All of them greeted clearly.

Before the war started, it had turned into a huge war of scolding.

The style of war was forcefully lowered by several levels at this moment.

"Fearless fanatics, dare to talk nonsense!"

How rigid is Gan Ning's temperament?

Anyone in Jingyi and Jingyi who has heard of the name of Ganning knows it very well.

How could a person as fierce as Gan Ning endure such foul language.

shouted angrily, regardless of the distance, he shot at Cai Mao with a bow and arrow.

Although the distance was a little far, but fortunately, with the help of the wind, the arrow swayed a few times and flew to Cai Mao's warship, but even if there was a distance, it also lost its accuracy.

I only heard the sound of arrows, a child of the Cai family... Fall in response.

"Mighty!"

"Mighty !!"

……

The sharp-eyed Jiangdong sergeant saw Gan Ning shooting a person from such a distance, and he couldn't help but drink wildly.

As this voice gradually spreads, the sound of the 30,000 sailors in Jiangdong is like a river flowing to turn... pressed Cao Jun's momentum down again and again.
