Hanjin Port, on the surrounding water village, has now erected endless "Wu" character battle flags, waving in the wind.

Outside the port, on the river more than 30 miles north of Hanjin.

At this time, more than hundreds of fighting ships, ships, and several huge building ships were returning with full loads and sailing.

In the middle of the sound, several sergeants wearing Jingzhou armor quickly rushed back, boarded the boat, and arched their hands: "Prince, the villain ordered the boat to go forward to spy on the military situation first." ”

"Just now, in just two quarters of an hour, the villain and several colleagues arrived at the Hanjin Port River, but we found something unusual."

"On the Hanjin Port, it seems that what is floating is not the battle flag of our army, but the flag of the general of the Wu army."

"General Wu Junqi?"

As soon as the words fell, the tall Guan Yu stood on the deck in a dark green robe, and at this time, Danfeng's eyes opened slightly, but he vaguely felt a trace of unusualness.

"Are you sure, it's not our general's flag?"

"Junhou, after the villains found out about this scene, they were also worried about startling the snake, so they didn't get too close."

"But I and several others are very familiar with our army's battle flag, so we shouldn't be mistaken."

Immediately, although the scout did not guarantee everything, Guan Yu also felt the slightest strength from his expression.

Obviously, the scout had good eyesight and was confident that he was seeing the right thing.

Hearing this, Guan Yu Hongtong's face showed a solemn look, and after thinking for a while, he stroked his beard and said, "You, quickly go to the generals and come to discuss matters!" ”

"No."

The order was handed down, the scouts retreated first, and the guards from the side also surrendered their promises and went to gather the people.

At this moment, Guan Yu's face couldn't help but become more and more solemn, his eyes stared at the river tightly, and he didn't say a word, not knowing what to ponder again.

"Prince."

After a long time, Ma Liang, Wang Fu and others slowly boarded the deck and saluted in unison.

Hearing this, Guan Yu slowly turned around, waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then walked forward, with a serious face, and said loudly: "Everyone, just now our army scout found out that Hanjin is suspected to have been captured by the Wu army. ”

"The Wu army attacked Hanjin?"

"Yes."

Immediately, Guan Yu's words were firm, and he roughly explained the situation of the previous scout to the crowd.

After hearing this, Zhao Lei was stunned for a while, and then his face was full of doubt, and he said loudly: "That's not right, since the plan of the Wu army to attack our army is so thorough, it must be to take Jingzhou as the ultimate goal." ”

"Now, instead of taking advantage of the fact that our army has not returned to defend Nanjun, the Wu army has taken the opportunity to capture Jiangling, but instead attacks Hanjin."

"What's the point?"

The words can be said to have spoken to the hearts of the generals present, and they all nodded frequently.

Only Ma Liang listened to his words, muttered silently, and the slightest worry between his eyebrows was revealed!

"However, due to the discovery of the anomaly, the scouts were afraid of startling the snake, so they did not dare to go further."

"It's also possible that the scouts were dazzled and didn't understand it thoroughly."

As soon as these words fell, Guan Yu stroked his beard, and his words were extremely soft, he did not have the previous self-confidence, this sentence couldn't even convince him, and it was just comfort in his heart!

After all, scouts are not absolutely sure and will not report the matter.

When the words fell, Ma Liang on the side couldn't help but show a worried face, and said loudly: "Junhou, generals, according to Liang, the Wu army attacked Hanjin, and the scout information should be true." ”

"Hanjin Port, there have always been 5,000 sailors stationed here before, but since our army's Northern Expedition, the garrison here has been almost empty."

"The Wu army only needs thousands of sergeants, and under the surprise attack at night, our army will be difficult to resist!"

Hearing this, the lord Bo Liaohua couldn't help but show doubts and asked: "But sir, since Sun Quan is so prosperous, he did not hesitate to turn his back on our army, but instead formed an alliance with Cao Thief and his ministers, which must end with the capture of Jingzhou and the whole occupation of Jiangnan." ”

"Now, the Wu army has attacked Hanjin, but it has exposed their marching intentions, so our army's garrison in Jiangling will inevitably get the news and be extremely vigilant to resist the Wu army."

"If that's the case, then the Wu army can't capture Nanjun, isn't it because of a small loss?"

As soon as the words fell, the generals couldn't help but gather their eyes on Ma Liang's body, and their faces were also full of confusion.

In the next second, Ma Liang couldn't help but smile and muttered, "Actually, this matter is very simple. ”

"Don't forget, the young general led the army back in advance, and he also crossed the Huaishui and Yangtze River tributaries and crossed the border of Dongwu and Jiangxia."

"Obviously, in the process of returning to the army, the major general couldn't help but discover the combat intentions of the Wu army, forcing their plan to attack Jingzhou to be informed."

"Liang guarantees that the major general must have returned to Jiangling at this time, and is stabilizing the city defense, preparing for the next siege of the Wu army."

After a pause, Ma Liang looked around at the generals around him, as well as Guan Yu, who heard quietly on the side, but didn't say a word, and couldn't help but say: "Therefore, Liang guessed that the Wu army must be unable to continue to attack Jiangling City before changing its plan and coming to capture Hanjin." ”

"After all, Hanjin is a necessary place between Xiangyang and Jiangling waterways, as long as we control the Hanjin port, we can firmly restrain our army from returning to Jiangling."

"In this way, they will have time to besiege Jingzhou City with their main army, clear all the strongholds around Jiangling, turn it into an isolated city, and engage in a war of attrition with our army."

"It must be known that our army has been fighting for more than several months since the Northern Expedition against Cao Thief in July, and the sergeants have long been sleepy and lacking, and the battle situation has been stalemate for a long time, which is not good for our army!"

"According to Liang's thoughts, this should be Wu Jun's true intention."

When the words fell, Ma Liang's face gradually turned worried, and he muttered with his hands: "Prince, this battle is difficult!" ”

"There are at least more than 5,000 Wu troops who attacked Hanjin this time."

"And the battle for the port, in fact, is the competition between the naval armies, but our army has a total of 10,000 naval troops, and Xiangyang has left 5,000 naval soldiers under the command of Zhoucang to garrison Hanshui."

"As for the remaining 5,000 sailors, if they want to defeat the Wu army's navy head-on on the river, how difficult it is!"

"After all, Wudi's naval divisions and warships have been famous since ancient times, and it is difficult for our army to win in the battle on the rivers."

As soon as these words came out, the generals also fell silent suddenly, but no one refuted Ma Liang's words.

In fact, Ma Liang said that it is indeed the truth, if it is a land war at this moment, the generals of Jingzhou can be said to be not afraid at all, and they can all beat their chests and threaten to break the Wu thief.

But now it is about to face a water war with the Wu army.

This, the generals have no bottom in their hearts!

After a long silence, Zhao Lei broke the silence first, and said loudly: "I don't understand what I am tired, from Xiangyang to Jiangling, not only the waterway is feasible, our army can still follow the land route, through Dangyang, Maicheng to defend back." ”

"Why did the Wu army conclude so much that our army would move south along the waterway and then come to attack Hanjin?"

As soon as these words came out, the doubts on the faces of the generals were even better.

At this moment, without waiting for Ma Liang to explain, Guan Yu's face was not obvious, and he said lightly: "Do you need to talk about this matter?" ”

"It's a very simple logic, going south along the waterway, the time to return to defense is much less than that of the land route, since our army can have a waterway to return to the army, how can it be willing to go near and far, and go to choose the land route?"

"Secondly, our army is also escorting tens of thousands of Cao Army prisoners of war, and it is even more impossible to choose the land route, and many wise people in Eastern Wu will not fail to think of this."

"Taking a step back, even if the Minister of Eastern Wu didn't think of it, then Lu Meng'er was not weak in scheming, and he would definitely think of attacking Hanjin."

"After all, Hanjin is the only port of our army, and once it is lost, then our army will no longer have any hope of competing with the Wu army on the Yangtze River in the future."

"In this way, even if the Wu army fails to capture Jingzhou this time, they are also invincible, and our army, which has lost the only port, even if it still has the intention of going down the river to destroy Wu, I am afraid there is nothing to be done!"

At this point, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh, and said worriedly: "Alas, this is Wu Jun's attempt." ”

After a word, all doubts were solved.

I have to say that Guan Yu is worthy of being a general who is good at water warfare, and he knows the essentials of water warfare by heart.

Actually, this is the case.

When fighting on the river, the port is equivalent to the logistics support.

Otherwise, without the existence of a port, far away on the river, would the sailors and soldiers stay on the warship to rest?

When the words fell, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened slightly, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Liao Hua, you are the commander of the foot here to wait to watch the formation, Ma Liang, you assist!" ”

"Zhao Lei, together with Benshuai, you will lead five thousand sailors and hundreds of warships to approach Hanjin Port and challenge the Wu army."

"This time, Ben Shuai vows to learn who can dominate the Yangtze River."

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu's momentum soared and he shouted.

At this moment, the arrival of Wu Jun also aroused his ambition and vowed to have a high mind.

After all, this 10,000-strong naval army has been formed since it was still stationed in Xinye and Fancheng, but later due to the alliance with Wu to resist Cao, there has never been a chance to compete with Wu Shuijun.

Now, the opportunity is in front of him, how can Guan Yu let it go?

What he thinks now is to use the power of the navy to completely defeat the Wu army, recapture the port, and return to defend Nanjun.

The reason why the famous foot soldiers stuck to the shore and stuck to the shore was that Guan Yu also had plans.

After all, although there are tens of thousands of foot soldiers, they don't know how to deploy warships in this river battle, and no matter how many soldiers there are, they are confused!

In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's army was several times that of Eastern Wu, but what was the result?

This is the proof!

"Remember, without the commander's military order, you can only stop on the shore and not move rashly."

"Violators, behead!"

only said that after organizing the sailor soldiers at this moment, Guan Yu held a sword in his hand, his face was serious, he looked at Liao Hua, and said in a loud voice.

Hearing this, Liao Hua did not hesitate at all, and promised to say: "Please rest assured that the prince will be able to distinguish the importance in the end." ”

"I won't cause trouble for the prince."

Seeing that Liao Hua's words were firm, Guan Yu stopped talking, the sword was unsheathed, and with an order, thousands of sailors and soldiers controlled hundreds of warships and went down the river.

A water war is inevitable!

Shore.

Seeing the back of the sailor soldier slowly leaving, gradually disappearing at the end, Liao Hua couldn't help muttering: "Sir, you say, the prince is gone, will there be a mistake?" ”

As soon as these words came out, you could see the worry in Liao Hua's heart.

After all, Wu Junshui should not be underestimated!

"Haha."

With a chuckle, Ma Liang said in a loud voice: "Lord Liao is too worried, although the performance of our army's warships is not as good as that of the Wu army. ”

"But the power of the prince to command the naval army is not inferior to any of the Jiangbiao generals in Wu Land."

"Lord Liao doesn't have to worry, even if the prince can't defeat the Wu army this time, he still has the power to protect himself."

As soon as he said a word, he saw that Ma Liang's expression was calm and his words were convincing.

Liao Huasui didn't say much, but he was still staring at the river as always.

Seeing this, Ma Liang chuckled lightly and said no more.
