Warships traveled back and forth between the north and south banks of the Yangtze River.

Those infantrymen who have never been on a ship, even if they sit on a thousand-man warship, still feel that their feet are weak, and they always feel that they will sink suddenly.

However, from the north bank of the Yangtze River, by boat to the south bank of the Yangtze River, there are many people who can't stand it, lying on the side of the boat, spitting out all the things in their stomachs that have not been digested into the water to feed the fish.

If someone came to attack at this time, these soldiers would have no way to resist.

They were weak on their feet and hands, and they were dizzy.

Although Zhou Yu's 100,000 sailors trained in Panyang Lake have been defeated by Xu Huang.

However, when the army crossed the river, Xu Huang still asked the sailor to escort him.

Guard against Zhou Yu sending the remaining sailors to interfere.

An army of 300,000 crossed the Yangtze River directly from Jiangxia and landed at Fankou on the south bank.

It is more than 500 miles away from Chaisang.

The 300,000 army, in five days, can all reach the outside of Chaisang City.

If you just send a vanguard army, you can kill Sun Ce in three days.

It took three days for hundreds of warships to travel between the north and the south, and it took 300,000 troops to be transported to the south.

When the Zhao army, which arrived at Fankou on the third day, disembarked, the soldiers who arrived on the first day, after resting for two days, began to advance towards Chaisang as the vanguard.

Although they have only walked hundreds of miles on the water, they are still very uncomfortable with these landlubbers.

However, there are some that the body does not react to.

These people were also selected and followed Zhao Yun to kill Chaisang first.

Of course, Zhao Hui's messenger also arrived in Chaisang one step earlier.

If you can not fight, of course, it is better not to fight.

After Xu Huang defeated the sailors in Zhou Yu's hands, Zhao Hui had already sent people to Chaisang again to persuade him to surrender.

As long as Sun Ce is willing to surrender now, everything will still be the same as before.

Zhao Hui can guarantee the glory and wealth of the Sun family.

The Sun family still has a lot of talents, and Zhao Hui will also reuse them.

It's just that the rights of the Sun family will definitely be weakened, and it is impossible for Yangzhou to let the Sun family control it.

If Sun Ce still wants to fight, Zhao Hui can also give him military power, but he can only go to those small countries south of Jiaozhou to fight, if he is willing to go to Mobei and kill the Xiongnu, Zhao Hui will also agree.

As for the current territory of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Hui would not let Sun Ce send troops to recruit him.

If Yangzhou is also pacified, then only Liangyi Jiao Sanzhou will remain.

These three states are from northwest to southwest to southeast, and the land of the three states accounts for almost half of the land of the Han Dynasty.

If you add the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, the area is even larger.

Among the three states, Yizhou has the largest population and is also the most important.

Zhuge Liang relied on the power of Yizhou and Yizhou to launch six Northern Expeditions.

Zhao Hui is still waiting for Pei Yuanshao's news to read them, hoping that they can successfully stop Liu Bei, who wants to enter Yizhou.

Although Liu Bei lost Zhuge Liang, he now has Pang Tong.

And with the current situation, if Liu Bei is allowed to flee to Yizhou, Pang Tong is estimated not to die in Luofengpo.

Cao Cao in Chaisang is very low-key.

He, Xun You and others are basically in the military camp outside Chaisang City every day.

That is, when Sun Ce invited him, Cao Cao would enter the city.

In the past two days, Zhou Yu has been testing gunpowder again.

Although the sailor failed, the defeat of the navy, and it was so miserable, aroused Zhou Yu's desire to study gunpowder even more.

The Yangzhou sailor he has trained for many years thought that he was the most powerful sailor in the Han Dynasty.

However, in front of the Qingzhou sailors who had only been trained for more than three years, they were defeated so completely.

And the root of the failure lies in the gunpowder.

In the past few days, Zhou Yu has almost fallen into the devil.

Every day in the Dan room, he even did it himself.

But even so, Zhou Yu still has no clue.

He didn't know how it worked, and it took a bit of luck to get gunpowder.

Otherwise, it will only be an experiment again and again, and there are so many things in heaven and earth, and I don't know when charcoal will be used.

It's only been three days, and Zhou Yu, who was originally as rich as jade, has a face full of soot, and the clothes on his body are dirty and smelly.

In the past few days, Sun Ce has not come to disturb Zhou Yu.

However, after receiving Zhao Hui's letter of persuasion, plus that Zhao Jun had crossed the Yangtze River, Sun Ce could only come to see Zhou Yu.

When he saw Zhou Yu, he was also startled and almost didn't recognize it.

"Gong Jin, if it doesn't work, forget it."

Originally, he came to ask Zhou Yu for advice, but seeing Zhou Yu's current appearance, Sun Ce began to persuade Zhou Yu instead.

He didn't want Zhou Yu to fall into the devil, and he didn't want Zhou Yu to become a madman.

Just the unkempt Zhou Yu in front of him, where is there still the image of the past.

No one believes it at all, this is Zhou Lang who makes countless girls want to marry.

I'm afraid that if Xiao Qiao comes now, she won't recognize that this is the handsome and dashing husband in her heart.

"If I don't believe me, I'll be able to figure it out." Zhou Yu is very paranoid, not that Sun Ce can persuade with a word.

"Gong Jin, this is Zhao Hui's letter of persuasion, you can take a look at it first." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu hurriedly glanced at it, and then threw the letter of persuasion into the fire.

"There's nothing to do, as long as I research gunpowder, there's a chance." Zhou Yu said.

Although the sailor was defeated, Zhou Yu still didn't want to give up.

He still has to continue to fight with Zhao Hui.

There is little hope, but it is precisely because of this that the victory is more fulfilling.

If he can win easily, Zhou Yu doesn't care.

"Gong Jin, Zhao Hui's army has crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at Fankou, and now Zhao Yun has led the leading troops and is advancing towards Chaisang, and it will arrive here in two days." Sun Ce said.

"Now, even if you research gunpowder, it's too late."

Sun Ce is now the same problem as when Liu Bei and Cao Cao were in Jiangxia before.

Even if Zhou Yu now researched the formula for gunpowder, they would not have time to make it.

If Liu Bei hadn't run away at that time, they might have been able to urgently get a little gunpowder to fight Zhao Hui now.

But Liu Bei gave up on them.

But this is just wishful thinking on the part of Sun Ce and Cao Cao.

Pang Tong already understood that even if they stayed in Chaisang and handed over the formula for gunpowder, they would not be able to stop Zhao Jun.

Even if you know how gunpowder is made, it still takes time to prepare for it to be applied to the battlefield.

Moreover, the soldiers in their hands have never been in contact, and they must be taught how to use them to avoid injuring their own people.

Of course, Sun Ce didn't have a gunpowder formula now, so he blamed everything on Liu Bei and Pang Tong.

"Last time, I should have killed Pang Tong with one sword."

He promised Pang Tong, not only gave Liu Bei a month, did not send troops to deal with Liu Bei, but also let Pang Tong leave.

But the result was that after Liu Bei got the formula for gunpowder, he not only did not announce it, but also abandoned him.

"The big-eared thief really has no faith."

Sun Ce can only scold now.

Where Liu Bei fled now, he didn't know.
