After Huang Zhong was defeated by Lu Wenlong, the two armies engaged in a brief battle, and after both sides lost 100 men, the battle ended.

The armies of both sides were stationed in the vicinity of Chaisang.

"My lord, there has been no movement of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou recently, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy in this!"

Xue Rengui said worriedly.

"What do you think the two gentlemen think?"

Sun Ce did not answer, but set his eyes on Wu Zixu and Jia Xu.

"They're waiting!"

Wu Zixu said calmly, as if everything was expected by him.

"What are you waiting for?"

Xue Rengui hurriedly asked.

"Wait for their sailor to arrive."

Wu Zixu replied truthfully.

"In that case, shouldn't we transfer the water master!"

Sun Ce frowned and said, Chaisang is not far from Peng Lize, that is, Poyang Lake, using Poyang Lake, Jingzhou's sailors can not only land from the north of Chaisang, but also from the east of Chaisang, which also means that they may fall into the encirclement at any time.

"You can!"

Wu Zixu nodded and replied.

"Rengui, send someone to send a message to Zhou Yu and Han Chen, and let the sailor come to Peng Lize."

Sun Ce immediately instructed Xue Rengui.

"No!"

At the same time, Jingzhou was also preparing a plan to deal with Sun Ce.

"Sun Ce and Jiangdong are no longer the same as in the past, in the battle a few days ago, our army seemed to be undefeated, but in a certain opinion, that battle was lost by our army."

Huang Zu's face was heavy, in that battle, in addition to Huang Zhong's defeat, the most unacceptable thing for Huang Zu was that he still had an advantage in troops, but in the battle between the two armies, Jingzhou not only did not have the upper hand, but also almost lost, which Huang Zu couldn't accept.

Hearing Huang Zu's words, Huang Zhong's mood was a little lower, Huang Zhong has always remembered the defeat of the day, although Huang Zu and others did not blame him at that time, but this has always been a pimple in his heart.

As soon as Huang Zu opened his mouth at this time, Huang Zhong naturally felt that Huang Zu was sarcastic about him.

"Jiangdong soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting, the world knows that if you want to defeat Jiangdong soldiers and horses, you must have excellent planning."

Tai Shici opened his mouth and said, as if he was "suspicious" of excusing Huang Zhong.

"Jiangdong soldiers and horses are indeed outstanding, but they must not grow the morale of others to destroy their own prestige. We are generals in the army, if we don't have self-confidence, how can we talk about the morale of the soldiers. ”

Liu Pan said in a deep voice, Liu Pan looked at Tai Shici and said, the purpose is self-evident.

"Report, General Cai Mao has arrived!"

At this time, a soldier broke in,

"Please!"

Huang Zu and the others hurriedly got up.

"Huang Taishou, generals!"

Soon Cai Mao appeared.

"Cai Dudu!"

Everyone saluted, Cai Mao's status in Jingzhou was very high, even if Liu Biao didn't value him so much.

The reason why this is so is because Cai Mao has a large number of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and secondly, because of Cai Mao's identity, the Cai family is the first family in Jingzhou, and most of the important officials in Jingzhou have more or less relations with the Cai family, and Cai Mao's sister married Mrs. Cai of Liu Biao is also a reason.

"I heard that General Huang lost to a hairy boy under Sun Ce a few days ago!"

As soon as he came, Cai Mao gave Huang Zhong a dismount, to be precise, he gave Huang Zu a dismount, if you talk about who is the most powerful in Jingzhou except for Liu Biao, it must be Cai Mao.

But if you say that Liu Biao trusts and controls the most infantry army, it must be Huang Zu.

For Cai Mao, he was always thinking about taking away the military power from Huang Zu's hands and making him, the governor, famous.

"Anything can happen on the battlefield, that hairy boy is a fierce general, and it is not surprising that Han Sheng was defeated by him."

Huang Zu was the first to speak, defending Huang Zhong.

"Huang Taishou is wrong, Huang Zhong is the first fierce general in Jingzhou, he represents the military generals of the entire Jingzhou, and now he loses to a hairy boy, which is a shame on my Jingzhou."

Cai Mao said dissatisfiedly.

"What about Cai Dudu?"

Huang Zu frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Fine, cane blame, there must be an explanation for this matter."

Cai Mao said toughly.

"Ridiculous!"

With a flick of his robe, Huang Zu sneered.

"The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, because of his defeat Huang Zhong, which caused the two armies to be frustrated later, shouldn't he Huang Zhong be punished?"

Cai Mao asked strongly.

"Putting the result of a victory or defeat on one person, doesn't Lord Cai feel that he has gone too far?"

Huang Zu said angrily, Huang Zhong on the side wanted to speak, but Huang Zu glared back.

"If it weren't for the fact that Huang Zhong's defeat caused the morale of the army to fall, how could it not have an advantage when there was an advantage in troops?"

Cai Mao stared at Huang Zu, her attitude was extremely strong and domineering, and with Cai Mao's words, everyone finally understood Cai Mao's purpose.

blaming Huang Zhong for being false, and targeting Huang Zu was his original purpose.

"Does Cai Dudu mean that a certain commander is unfavorable and has limited ability?"

Huang Zu asked coldly.

"Don't dare!"

Although he didn't dare, Cai Mao held his head high at this time, not looking at Huang Zu at all, obviously saying that he didn't dare on the surface, but in action, he decided that Huang Zu's ability was not good.

"I'm willing to take responsibility for this battle, I don't know what Lord Cai thinks!"

Helpless, Huang Zu can only take the initiative to take this responsibility, after all, if he doesn't bear it, then Huang Zhong will be miserable, as for him, his identity is there, Cai Mao doesn't dare to move.

"My lord, why are you doing this!"

Huang Zhong hurriedly spoke, his face was ugly, Huang Zhong, who originally thought that Huang Zu would blame him for his failure, no longer had such thoughts.

"Stand down!"

Huang Zu drank Huang Zhong and faced Cai Mao.

"What should Lord Cai do?"

Huang Zu did not panic at all.

"In view of the importance of this battle, and Huang Taishou was frustrated in the first battle, he asked Huang Taishou to temporarily hand over his military power and change him to a main general."

Cai Mao's heart, needless to say, Huang Zu and the others also understood, it was nothing more than worrying about these soldiers and horses under Huang Zu.

"Then Lord Cai thinks, who can replace a certain person and take charge of the army to fight Jiangdong?"

Huang Zu looked directly at Cai Mao.

"No, Cai Mao still has this ability!"

Cai Mao said proudly, if you don't understand Cai Mao's plan here, then you are a fool.

"If Lord Cai is in charge of the army, then who should lead the water division, after all, the water division is not something that ordinary people can command."

Huang Zu was not in a hurry, and said calmly.

"Gan Ning Gan Xingba can take on this great responsibility!"

Cai Mao directly said Gan Ning's name.

"Thank you for your trust!"

Gan Ning, who had been standing behind Cai Mao, stood up.

"General Gan is brave and brave, and he is also familiar with water nature and water warfare, but he commands tens of thousands of sailors, I'm afraid he can't afford such a heavy responsibility."

Huang Zu shook his head and said.

"The lord handed over the water master to a certain person, and a certain person believes in Gan Ning's ability, so it is better for Huang Taishou not to interfere in the affairs of the water master."

Cai Mao's attitude was very firm, the sailor was handed over to Gan Ning, and he commanded the main army, so that this Eastern Expeditionary Army became his hall.

"Either way, no matter what!"

Huang Zu smiled wryly.
