Chapter 138: Bohai Pirates

Lu Bu led the army to attack Jiancheng Tuyin County under the rule of Beiping County in Youzhou by land, and in the vast sea to the south, hundreds of huge sea ships were chopping the waves and heading towards the west.

This fleet is the naval fleet under Lu Bu's account, led by Lu Bu's father-in-law, Cao Bao, also known as the 'Water Leopard'.

Of course, in addition to the 1,000 navy commanded by Cao Bao, there are also 10,000 soldiers who know how to water, as well as Li Ru, a military division with the army, and two deputy generals, Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao.

Cao Bao and Li Ru's target was Yuyang County, which was adjacent to the west of Beiping County.

According to Li Ru's strategy, if their naval fleet wanted to respond to the westward expedition of the army led by Lu Bu to Youzhou, then they occupied Yuyang County, leaving the Youzhou army and the Bingzhou army led by Yuan Xi and Tian Feng trapped in Youbeiping County.

The worst thing is to destroy Yuan Xi and Tian Feng's grain routes, so that they can't mobilize grain and grass from other counties and counties in Youzhou to the front line, and trap them in Youbeiping County to sit and eat empty!

With Cao Bao, the commander of the navy, the naval fleet went all the way west, passing through Beiping County, and soon came to the sea south of Yuyang County.

However, since Tian Feng already had a strategy to deal with Lu Bu's simultaneous dispatch of two armies to the west to conquer their Youzhou, he assisted Yuan Xi to lead 40,000 Bingzhou troops and Youzhou troops to block Lu Bu's army by land, and here on the sea route, there were already 10,000 troops led by Zhang He, 10,000 pirates, and the defenders of coastal counties, Cao Bao and Li Ru wanted to let the naval fleet dock, and then complete their goal, naturally it was not so easy to do!

Therefore, as soon as they came to the beach in Yuyang County, Cao Bao and the others encountered the first line of defense that prevented them from landing, that is, the 10,000 pirates.

These 10,000 pirates often roam the Bohai Sea, going ashore to plunder everywhere, so they are called 'Bohai Pirates'!

Under Yuan Xi's letter, and Yuan Shao also knew the power of Lu Bu's navy, therefore, although Yuan Shao was stubborn, he was not a stupid person.

So, Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to collect these 10,000 Bohai pirates, let them work for him, and let them block Lu Bu's naval fleet.

At this time, the Bohai pirates discovered Lu Bu's naval fleet, and they also had hundreds of sea ships, only to see them immediately move sideways, wanting to compete with the naval fleet led by Cao Bao in this sea.

On the deck of the pirate ship, which is located in the middle of the Bohai pirate fleet and is also the largest of the hundreds of pirate ships, the head of the 10,000 pirates is now canonized by Yuan Shao as the 'Henghai Zhonglang General' (Cao Bao also used to hold this official position), and the self-proclaimed 'Sea King' is standing there, with a fierce look in his eyes, looking at the naval fleet led by Cao Bao from afar.

The so-called Sea King is tall, hideous, shirtless, and his skin is extremely tanned due to his perennial activity in the sea.

The Sea King held on to the railing on the deck and looked at the naval fleet led by Cao Bao, who was getting closer and closer to them, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

In the past two years, he often heard that the navy under Lu Bu's account was very powerful, but every time he heard it, the Sea King scoffed.

How powerful can a naval fleet that has only been established for less than two years be?!

Is it comparable to them who have been plundering in the Bohai Sea all year round?

The two sides had not yet started a war, and the Sea King even thought of destroying the naval fleet led by Cao Bao as a merit for his advancement, so that he could get a general from Yuan Shao, even if it was a general!

The Sea King led the Bohai Sea pirates to join Yuan Shao, first, the identity of the pirates is not good, so he wants to mix a legitimate identity to use.

The second is the coast of the Bohai Sea, either occupied by Yuan Shao or occupied by Lu Bu, if he leads the pirate fleet to rob these two major forces, once or twice there is nothing, after a long time, the ship will definitely capsize in the gutter, and will be annoyed by them to rob Yuan Shao or Lu Bu under their rule!

The Sea King didn't want this, so the Sea King chose Yuan Shao, who seemed to be the biggest prince in the world, and offered a letter of his wishes, hoping that Yuan Shao would accept the surrender of their 10,000 pirates.

But fortunately, because Lu Bu sent a navy to attack Youzhou, coupled with Yuan Xi's recommendation, although Yuan Shao was stubborn and did not listen to good advice, but, like Lu Bu, he was also a person who cared for his family.

He will still listen to his family's opinions!

It's just that Yuan Shao can't tell the occasion and the timing, and Gu Jiagu is more strange.

Otherwise, when Cao Cao led the army to the east to occupy Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Cao Cao's rear troops were empty, and Yuan Shao had such a good opportunity to lead the army south to defeat Cao Cao, but because his young son was a little sick, he didn't go, and the soldiers and horses that had been dispatched were disbanded, and Yuan Shao himself hit the morale of his own army hard!

Because of Yuan Shao's Gu family, Yuan Shao, who thinks highly of himself, accepted the refuge of 10,000 Bohai pirates.

In the middle of the "Boom ......" sea, the naval fleet led by Cao Bao quickly approached the Bohai Sea pirates.

Aquaman looked at the naval fleet led by Cao Bao, and had only one thought in his heart, that is, to defeat the majestic Lu Bu navy that was rampant in the sea.

Let Yuan Shao know how powerful he is, and then, he attaches more importance to him and his 10,000 pirates.

Opposite, the naval fleet led by Cao Bao.

Cao Bao was on the same ship as Li Ru, the right army division under Lu Bu's account, at this time.

"General Cao, it should be the Bohai pirates on the other side, I didn't expect them to work for Yuan Shao now?" At this time, Li Ru looked at the 10,000 Bohai pirates opposite, sighed, and then asked Cao Bao: "General Cao, how are you going to fight this naval battle?" ”

Li Ru didn't know much about sea warfare, so he didn't have any combat strategy!

In addition, Li Ru knew that although Cao Bao was a general, after all, he was born in the Xuzhou Wang family, was well-read, and his resourcefulness was not bad, and he was a brave and resourceful general.

Otherwise, Lu Bu would not value him so much and make him one of the five great generals under his account!

Although he is also Lu Bu's father-in-law.

In addition, Cao Bao led the navy to have extremely strong combat capabilities at sea, and Cao Bao has his own set of rules for the upcoming naval battle with 10,000 Bohai pirates.

Li Ru naturally won't be ugly in a field he is not good at, and in addition, he still sacrifices his ugliness in front of Cao Bao, who knows how to fight at sea!

Cao Bao looked at the Bohai pirates on the opposite side, seeing that they were ready to fight, obviously they still wanted to compete with the naval fleet under their command, which suddenly made Cao Bao look disdainful.

Cao Bao smiled at Li Ru's question, and then replied: "Since these self-defeating pirates want to compete with us, General Ben will satisfy them. Don't use any stratagems, just kill it! Wen You, you haven't seen the naval battle of our navy yet! So, today you should take a good look at the demeanor of our navy! Let's see how our navy destroys the 10,000 self-defeating Bohai pirates on the opposite side! Hahaha......"

After Cao Bao finished speaking, the monstrous confidence emanated spontaneously.

What Cao Bao just said, although there are some arrogant elements in it.

However, when Li Ru heard it, he took it for granted, because Li Ru knew the strength of his own navy.

Cao Bao's self-confidence made Li Ru believe that Cao Bao and his navy would definitely be able to defeat the 10,000 Bohai pirates in the end.

couldn't help but make Li Ru quickly widen his eyes and look ahead, wanting to see how his navy destroyed the 10,000 Bohai pirates.
