Chen Wu invited Zhuge Jin to discuss the matter and said to him: "Brother Kong Ming has the talent of Wang Zuo, how can he bend to Liu Du?" Fortunately to Jiangdong today, Mr. Desire did not hesitate to talk about it, so that Brother Ling abandoned Liu Du and did Jiangdong, then the Marquis of Chu was supplemented by good ministers, and Mr. and Kong Ming brothers were able to meet each other, isn't it beautiful? Mr. Lucky is the line. ”

Zhuge Jin bowed his hand and said: "Jin has returned to Jiangdong, and he is ashamed of his merits." Today, the general has an order, and he dares not to serve. ”

Zhuge Jin immediately got on the horse and went to the post house to see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang welcomed him in, cried and worshipped, and each poured out his farewell. Zhuge Jin wiped his tears and asked, "Brother Zhi Boyi, Uncle Qihu?" ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he thought to himself: "This must be Chen Wujiao's coming to me." ”

Zhuge Liang then replied: "Boyi, Shu Qi Gu sages." ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Although Bo Yi and Shu Qi starved to death at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, the two brothers were also in the same place. I am now with your compatriots, but each is the master of everything, and I can't meet together at dusk, and I can be worthy of seeing them as human beings? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "What my brother says, love is also; The one who guards the younger brother is also righteous. The younger brother and brother are both Han Chinese. Now Brother Liu Huang is the head of the Han family, if the brother can go to Jiangdong, and Brother Liu Huang, a colleague of his brother, he is worthy of being a Hanchen, and the flesh and blood have to get together, this is a strategy for both love and righteousness. I don't know what my brother thinks? ”

Zhuge Jin pondered: "I came to him to take refuge in Jiangdong, but he said about me. ”

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to answer wordlessly, got up and resigned, came back to see Chen Wu, and spoke in detail about Zhuge Liang's words.

Chen Wu stared at Zhuge Jin's expression and asked, "What does Mr. mean?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "I am favored by the Marquis of Chu, and Anken is against me!" ”

Chen Wu nodded and said, "Sir is loyal to the master, so there is no need to say more. I have my own plans. ”

Liu Bei went south to Jiaozhou, and Liu Qi remembered that he refused to follow the foundation left by his father, so he defected to Liu Du, who was also a relative of the Han family. Liu Du assigned Liu Qi to guard the tomb, and led the generals to lead troops to Xiakou to station.

Liu Du saw the flags fluttering on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the halberds were heavy, and he said that Jiangdong must have already moved troops, so he moved all the soldiers and horses of Wuling and went to the riverside to settle down.

Liu Du gathered the crowd to discuss: "As soon as Kong Ming went to Jiangdong, there was no news, and I don't know how the discussion went. Who can inquire about the real and the false? ”

Liao Li stepped forward and said, "I want to go." ”

Liu Du then ordered someone to prepare a gift of sheep wine, and ordered Liao Li to go to Jiangdong to listen to the truth in the name of the army.

Liao Li took the order, took a boat down the river, and it didn't take long to come to the front of Chen Wu Dazhai. The sergeant came in to inform Chen Wu, and Chen Wu summoned Liao Li in.

Liao Li bowed his hand and Chen Wu bowed to convey Liu Du's respect and offered a wine ceremony. Chen Wu accepted the gift and set up a banquet to entertain Liao Li.

Liao Li said: "Kong Ming has been here for a long time, and now I am willing to return with him." ”

Chen Wu waved his hand and said, "Kong Mingfang conspired with me to break Cao, how can I go?" I also want to see Brother Liu Huang and discuss good policies; However, as a commander of the army, he cannot leave temporarily. If Brother Liu Huang is willing to come in vain, he is deeply relieved. ”

Liao Li wrote it down and said goodbye to Chen Wu and went back. Lu Su asked Chen Wudao: "If the general wants to see Liu Du, what is his plan?" ”

Chen Wu clenched his fists and said: "Liu Dushi's hero, you must get rid of it, I will take the opportunity to lure him to kill him today, which is really a future trouble for Jiangdong." ”

Lu Su repeatedly advised, but Chen Wu didn't listen, and he couldn't tell Lu Su that Liu Du was a traverser. Chen Wu then asked Dong Ping to pass on a secret order: "If Liu Du comes, first ambush twenty shadow tiger soldiers in the tent, and see me drop the cup, then come out and kill Liu Du." ”

Liao Li came back to see Liu Du and said, "Chen Wu wants to invite the lord to his tent to meet in person, don't discuss." ”

Liu Du instructed people to prepare a fast boat to meet with Chen Wu. Liu Ba admonished: "Chen Wu is unpredictable, and there is no letter from Kong Ming, I am afraid that there is fraud in it, so I should not take it lightly." ”

Liu Du said: "I have an alliance with Han Xuan, and now my two families have made an appointment to break Cao Cao together, Chen Wu wants to see me, if I don't go, it is not the intention of the alliance, the two are suspicious, and nothing can be done." ”

saw Zhao Yun come forward and bowed: "If the lord insists on going, he will be willing to go with him." ”

General Liu Du handed over the major affairs of General Liu Xu to Jia Xu, Li Ru and others to deal with, and then took a fast boat with Zhao Yun and more than 20 followers, and rushed to Jiangdong.

Liu Du saw that in addition to the warships, the Jiangdong Army also had building ships, transport ships, etc., all of which were available. The Jiangdong Navy has banner armor soldiers, neatly distributed on the left and right, Liu Du sighed that Han Xuan has Gan Ning, a general of the Navy Army, and he really picked up a treasure.

The sergeant outside the village flew to report to Chen Wu: "Liu Du is here." ”

Chen Wu asked, "How many ships do you bring?" ”

The sergeant replied, "There is only one boat, and more than twenty servants." ”

Chen Wu said with a smile: "This person's life is at rest!" ”

Chen Wu then ordered the Shadow Tiger Army to ambush first, and then go out of the village to greet him. Liu Du led Zhao Yun and more than 20 others until the big tent of the Chinese army, and after the ceremony, Chen Wu invited Liu Du to sit down.

Liu Du said: "The name of the general's 'little overlord' has spread all over the world, and he is not talented, so why bother the general to pay a heavy salute?" ”

Liu Du sneered in his heart, business blows each other, I'm good at this. So Chen Wu and Liu Du sat separately, and Chen Wu set up a banquet to treat each other.

Zhuge Liang occasionally came to the riverside, and when he heard that Liu Du came here to meet Chen Wu, he was taken aback, and hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army to peek at the movement. I saw Chen Wu's murderous face, and there were assassins in the wall clothes on both sides. Zhuge Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and exclaimed, "What can I do if it seems like this?" ”

Zhuge Liang turned his head to look at Liu Du, talking and laughing freely; But he saw a person behind Liu Du, standing there with a sword and looking at Chen Wu coldly, who was it not Zhao Yun.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and said: "My lord is not in danger." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't go in anymore, but still turned around and waited by the river.

Chen Wu and Liu Du had a banquet, and after several rounds of drinking, Chen Wu got up and saluted Liu Du, and suddenly saw Zhao Yun standing behind Liu Du with a sword, and hurriedly asked Liu Du: "Who is this?" ”

Liu Du replied: "Our general Zhao Zilong is also." ”

Chen Wu was shocked and asked, "Could it be Changshan Zhao Zilong?" ”

Liu Du smiled slightly: "Yes." ”

Chen Wu thought about the previous Chen Zhi who saved Adou in Cao Cao's million-strong army and robbed Zhao Yun's name. He heard Han Xuan say that this Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi are not compatible, and martial arts are definitely not under him, so they can't be done easily.

Chen Wu poured wine and Zhao Yun to handle it, and after a while, Lu Su came in. Liu Du asked, "Where is Kong Ming?" Annoyance, please come for a moment. ”

Chen Wu said: "And when Cao Cao is broken, it is not too late to meet Kong Ming." ”

Liu Du realized his situation and didn't dare to say any more. Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Du, Liu Du knew what he meant, and then got up to say goodbye to Chen Wu: "Farewell for the time being." After breaking the enemy on the same day, he should congratulate him. ”

Chen Wu didn't keep him either, and sent him out. After Liu Du returned, suddenly the sergeant came to report that Cao Cao had sent an envoy to deliver the book. Chen Wu called him in, and the messenger presented the letter, and when Chen Wu looked at it, the cover read: "Prime Minister of Han Cheng paid General Chen to open it." ”

Chen Wu was furious, and he didn't open it to see it, but tore the book to pieces, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Behead the messenger for me!" ”

Lu Su hurriedly dissuaded: "The two countries are fighting, and they will not be killed." ”

Chen Wu said sharply: "Kill the envoy to demonstrate!" ”

So he ordered the sword and axe men to behead the messenger and send back the retinue of the messenger who had commanded the messenger at the head. Gan Ning was then the vanguard, Lü Meng was the left wing, and Jiang Qin was the right wing. Chen Wu himself led the generals to respond. The next day, the fourth watch cooked, the fifth watch drove the boat, and the drums and shouts marched in.

When Cao Cao learned that Chen Wu had destroyed the book and beheaded the envoy, he was furious and said: "Pifu'an dares to do this!" ”

Cao Cao shouted: "Cai Mao, Zhang Yun! ”

"In!"

"I now order the two of you to lead the Jingzhou Navy with Ma Yan and Zhang Kai as the front, and I myself as the rear army, urging the warship to fight with Chen Wuxiaoer at the mouth of the Sanjiang River." Cao Cao finished the military order and walked away.

Cai Mao and other generals had just led the army to prepare to leave the village, and they saw the Jiangdong warships early, which were connected from end to end, covering the sky and covering the river. The first general, carrying the Jiaolong Bahai Hook, sat on the bow of the ship and shouted: "I am Ganning Ganxing Baye!" Who dares to fight me? ”

Cai Mao ordered his cousin Cai De to drive the boat to kill him, and when the two boats were about to approach, Gan Ning drew his bow and arrow, hoping that Cai De would shoot it, and Cai De fell in response.

Gan Ning drove the warships to attack in a big way, and ten thousand crossbows were fired in unison. Cao Jun couldn't resist. Jiang Qin on the right and Lü Meng on the left rushed straight into Cao's army. Most of the soldiers of Cao's army were soldiers from Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and they were not used to water warfare.

Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, and Lü Meng's three-way warships were unstoppable across the water. Chen Wu just urged the boat to help the war, but on the water, it was Ganning's world, and there were countless people in the Cao army who were hit by arrows and stoneballs who were killed by stone bullets. After fighting for two hours, although Chen Wu won the first battle, he was afraid that he would be outnumbered, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and the warship stopped. Cao's army was defeated and returned.
