"It's all far away, don't let the soldiers take risks." Guan Yu saw that the other party was about to disappear from view, and knew that it was too late, so he stepped forward to persuade Yu to forbidden. He made careful preparations for this battle, and after occupying Hukou Shuizhai, he immediately asked Liu Cong for instructions to send reinforcements to ambush Sangluzhou and the south bank of the Yangtze River. Liu Cong is also very powerful, and he has sent fifty bed crossbows, which is almost all the siege equipment!

In addition, 5,000 infantry and Yu Ban's 5,000 sailors came to Sangluzhou. And Guan Yu let Jiang Qin take part of his men and horses to ambush in the mouth of the lake, and part of it in the westernmost section of Sangluozhou. Take a few clippers yourself to lure the enemy! On the one hand, it is guaranteed that the number of people is more than that of Cheng Pu, and the supernatural mesh ensures that the equipment is better than Cheng Pu!

At the same time, several thick iron chains that had been prepared were placed on the Yangtze River. The boat specially selected by Guan Yu and Jiang Qin could be spent safely in shallow water, but the big ship of the Jiangdong Sailor was blocked by the iron chain of the Hengjiang River. Then the bed crossbows were placed on both sides of the Yangtze River, and as soon as the Jiangdong sailors entered the encirclement, they were given a complete nightmare.

"That's a great result! And at that time, there was an iron chain in the center of the Yangtze River, and Guan and Gongyi didn't dare to drive too fast, so if we want to talk about responsibility, we all have a share! When he returned to the battlefield, seeing Yu Ban's depressed face, Guan Yu pointed to Jiang Xin's hidden chains and stepped forward to persuade again. When Guan Yu said this, Yu Ban also felt that it was acceptable. Although he has 5,000 people, the 20,000 Jiangdong Sailors collectively have to retreat desperately, and it is not easy for him to leave most of them!

When the results of the battle were roughly counted, Yu Ban finally breathed a sigh of relief. Intelligence shows that Cheng Pu brought 20,000 Jiangdong naval troops, and only thirteen warships escaped from Yu Ban's hands, although these are the largest and best warships with the largest number of people, but there are only four or five thousand people at full duty! And it is estimated that most of the dead and wounded. And what was left behind were 5,000 prisoners and dozens of warships!

At the end of the war, Yu Ban led his subordinates to rest in Hukou Water Village for the night, and then returned to the Chaisang wartime camp with his subordinates, bed crossbows, and prisoners. After listening to Yu Ban's report, Liu Cong smiled from ear to ear. And Gan Ning, who was on the side, drooled all over the place, and complained about Liu Cong in his heart: "My lord, General Guan and General Yu have made such great contributions, but Ning ......"

"Alright! I know you're itching, but now that the reinforcements have been defeated, it's time to see you. Without reinforcements, the Chaisang naval army will definitely be demoralized, and we must take advantage of the situation to take Chaisang in one go! When the time comes, you can also capture Lu Su alive and capture all the Jiangdong naval army! I promise they won't take credit from you again! Haha......"

"The lord ......" Gan Ning is the earliest group of people to follow Liu Cong, so the relationship with Liu Cong's four people is also very good. Now that the lord said this, Gan Ning was a little embarrassed. made everyone next to him laugh.

"Wen Ze, I have to work hard for you, these thousands of prisoners, you arrange, those who are willing to join the army will stay and enrich Guan Yu's subordinates. After continuous vicious battles, the losses are not small, and they need to be replenished in time. Those who are unwilling to join the army will send someone back to Wuchang and hand it over to Ji Chang Faluo! In addition, the Jiangxia infantry can also set off, and the next Chaisang is much more difficult to gnaw than Hukou! ”

Liu Cong couldn't hide the joy in his heart, it seems that this Guan Erye really didn't let himself down, although the loss of attacking the lake mouth was a bit much, but he got a lot of warships and prisoners, and killed Zhou Tai. Captured Xu Sheng! After a battle, the Jiangdong Navy is afraid that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, as long as Chaisang is surrounded, what resistance will Sun Quan have?

Cheng Pu was ambushed, and Lu Su only learned about it a few days later. After confirming the news, Lu Su sat on the ground with a butt! He was a little frustrated by the loss of Hukou, but he could also understand that the opponent was Guan Yu, and there was a Jiang Qin who was familiar with the terrain, plus three times the troops! Besides, Zhou Tai has already died in battle, and Lu Su doesn't look like he complains about anyone anymore! But what he never expected was that Cheng Pu was actually ambushed by Guan Yu and almost wiped out!

Who is Cheng Pu? Another pillar of Koto! 20,000 elite soldiers, that's almost one-third of the military strength of the entire Jiangdong! Gone in an instant? Lu Su once thought that Jiangdong would fail, but he never expected it to be this version! After a hundred battles, Cheng Pu, the governor of the right capital, completely destroyed his own reputation in one battle, not to mention, but also ruined Chaisang and Jiangdong!

Without reinforcements, Chai Sang is about to face the enemy on three sides, and Guan Yu will definitely enter Poyang Lake from the mouth of the lake! And Lü Meng was also struggling to support in Nanchang, once Guan Yu entered the lake, he completely cut off the connection between Chaisang and the entire Yuzhang and other states and counties, there were no reinforcements, no grain and grass! What's more important is that the strategy of the Chaisang Water Army's cunning rabbit three holes will be greatly compressed! You can only do it on a few small lakes in the north of Chaisang City!

And if you want to rebuild a naval army like Cheng Pu, even if you have more money, it is impossible to do it for a year and a half! Also, the morale of the Chaisang Naval Army will also suffer a devastating blow!!

After being surprised, angry, and desperate, Lu Su wrote a letter to Sun Quan, hoping that Sun Quan would be able to persuade Cao Cao to send troops to help as soon as possible, and if not, he would be ready to ask Liu Cong for peace! And at this time, it is only two months before Sun Quan becomes king! Lu Su knew very well what it would mean for Jiangdongyi Group once Chaisang was lost, and he couldn't worry about Sun Quan and the others panicking!

……

Cheng Pu, who escaped from the ascension to heaven, scolded and scolded all the way, how can these eight lambs be worthy of being stationed at Hukou? There wasn't even a single one to report the news. These are how to meet Jiangdong's fathers. Lord, what is it to resist the Jingzhou army! The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, the more anxious I was, the more I gasped, and finally I vomited blood! frightened the surrounding soldiers into a panic, and hurriedly asked people to stop the boat.

At this time, there happened to be another subordinate who reported all the losses, Cheng Pu heard a wow, and vomited wildly, and then fell to the ground and died on the spot! Poor generation of famous generals, stumbling in old age, succumbing to the battlefield...... This Jiangdong Navy Division is completely chaotic, but fortunately, Cheng Puping usually manages the army well, and a few small captains stood up and drove the boat back to Wet Whisker desperately!

First Zhou Tai, then Cheng Pu! One bad news after another, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, was so angry that he turned his back several times! He had heard of Jingzhou Liu Cong's awesomeness, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful! It has only been carried out for a long time, and it has lost more than 20,000 sailors and two generals!

……

"My lord, I caught a break on the river last night on patrol, and he claimed to be the messenger of Lu Su. I have something to ask to see my lord! Early in the morning, Liao Hua pushed a middle-aged man with a lot of flowers into Liu Cong's tent.

"Oh?" Liu Cong looked at the person who came, but he looked heroic, not like the kind of spy who specializes in sneaking, so he let Liao Hua loosen his ties.

I saw that the middle-aged man stepped forward a few steps unhurriedly, and came to Liu Cong's case to make a big gift: "Kan Ze has seen the prime minister!" ”

"Kan Ze?" Liu Cong was slightly stunned, and then remembered that this Kan Ze is not simple. Not to mention that reading more than 10,000 books can be regarded as a contemporary Confucian. Kan Ze's family has been farming for generations, but Kan Ze loves to learn, and because his family is poor and has no money, he often hires people to copy books in exchange for pen and paper. When he had finished copying the book, he had read it all. He made a name for himself by remembering his lectures, inquiring and reading a wide range of books, and being proficient in the celestial arithmetic calendar.

Kan Ze has a humble and respectful temperament, down-to-earth and prudent, and the officials of the government greet him with questions and answers, and he responds with courtesy. Some people criticized his shortcomings, but he never fought back, his expression showed his inadequacy, and the voice of criticism gradually exhausted. Thinking that Lu Su is also a generous person, he will wait for Kan Ze to be appointed by Chaisang.

"At this time, when the two armies are fighting, Mr. Derun is wandering in front of our military camp late at night, so he is not afraid that my sword will hurt you without an eye?" Liu Cong knew that this Kan Ze was also a figure in Jiangdong, and it would definitely not be a trivial matter to come here at this time, but if Lu Su talked about it, Liu Cong would never agree, so when he saw Kan Ze, he asked.

Kan Ze replied without changing his face: "I have heard that the prime minister is strict in governing the army, and his subordinates will not kill innocents indiscriminately. Besides, the two armies will not fight each other! ”

Kan Ze replied like this, Liu Cong is very useful, it's not that Liu Cong particularly likes people to pat on the back, but Kan Ze has a few words, but he has always called himself prime minister, presumably Sun Quan and Lu Su are also afraid of it, so they deliberately call it so.

"Mr. is really bold and careful, even if Cong has the intention to kill Mr., I am afraid that he will not be able to do it...... It's just that I don't know why Mr. didn't assist you all to garrison Chaisang, but ran to this big river? Could it be that you can't meet your true face for your lord? Since Kan Ze calls himself prime minister, Liu Cong will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Prime minister, don't misunderstand, my lord is far away in Wu County, so naturally there is no order for me. Ze was ordered by the governor of my family to come to discuss something with the prime minister. Kan Ze naturally heard what Liu Cong meant, although the current war situation is not favorable to Jiangdong, but as a diplomat, he can't lose his momentum. Although Kan Ze is the best at calling Liu Cong Prime Minister, he must not admit that Sun Quan bowed his head to Liu Cong, then Sun Quan is the king of Wu!

'Something to discuss?' l Liu Cong looked at Kan Ze again disapplausively: "Mr. is a great Confucian in the world, and he is also an important minister in Jiangdong, I must also understand that the prime minister is ordered to crusade against Sun Quan, the traitor who claims to be the king in vain, I am afraid that you and I have nothing to discuss!" Liu Cong was afraid that Lu Su would come to the peace talks, so he blocked the door and said it.

"Yes! A few days ago, you and I fought in the lake, General Zhou Tai died in battle, and General Xu Sheng ...... Xu Sheng is an important minister of my Jiangdong and is very important to us, so ......"

"So the governor of your family asked me to let you Xu Sheng go?" Liu Cong saw that Kan Ze was empty-handed and had no entourage, he admired him very much, did this guy want to go back to Xu Sheng with his own mouth?

This Xu Sheng, Liu Cong still has some understanding, the historical Xu Shengzi Wenxiang, a native of Langxiju County (now Ju County, Shandong), he lived in Jiangdong in the late Han Dynasty due to the war, and was used by Sun Quan's "Zhaoxian Pavilion", which began to assist Sun Quan. In his early years, Xu Sheng fought against Huang Zu and was promoted to Zhonglang General because of his merits. When Liu Bei attacked Wu, Xu Sheng followed Lu Xun to capture many camps of the Shu army; When Cao Xiu attacked Wu, Xu Sheng successfully defended with less resistance and more under the unfavorable situation. Because of his military exploits, Xu Sheng was successively promoted to General Jianwu, General Anton, and served as the Taishou of Lujiang.

Later, Cao Pi attacked Wu on a large scale, and Wu Guo built a wall on the periphery of Jianye according to Xu Sheng's suggestion, and Cao Pi was forced to retreat. In the early days, he was the captain of Zhou Yu's former guard army with Ding Feng, and the guard Zhou Yu participated in the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Nanjun with Zhou Yu, and later participated in the Battle of Hefei with Sun Quan, participated in the Battle of Jingzhou with Lu Meng, and participated in the Battle of Yiling with Lu Xun. In the large and small battles of the Wu Kingdom, Xu Sheng was involved in many battles and made many achievements. In the later period, Xu Sheng became a general stationed on the east side of the Wu State, and once offered a plan to suspect the city and repel the Wei army.

Maybe Xu Sheng's courage is not as good as Zhou Tai's, and his resourcefulness is not as good as Lu Su's, but when it comes to both civil and military skills, he can still be regarded as a character in Jiangdong, Liu Cong is now going to sweep Jiangdong, and it is a pity that Zhou Tai can't die for his own use, and it is not easy to catch a Xu Sheng, how can he let it go easily? So Liu Cong interrupted Kan Ze's words for the first time.
