Zhou Yu was chasing, and suddenly he saw that the boat on the opposite side stopped and couldn't leave. Zhou Yu suddenly said happily: "Finally stop running!" I'm going to see how long you can hide! ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu suddenly found that the boat opposite had turned around, which should have been a happy thing. But at this moment, Zhou Yu sighed in his heart for no reason, and he felt as if he had ignored something. At this moment, Zhou Yu felt a shock to the hull of the ship, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report that there is something under the water of the military division, and we are trapped at the bottom of the boat!" A sailor soldier anxiously reported. Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this, and then he hurriedly shouted: "Don't go forward, go back the way you came!" All the ships went back the way they came! "It's easy to say, but the boat behind is so close that it's so easy to turn around! Seeing that Liu Bei's navy ship had turned around, it was approaching quickly here! And at this moment, your own ship is still blocked here, and you can't retreat!

At this moment, the fleet led by Ding Feng arrived! There was a loud click, and a big ship was knocked out of a big hole! At this time, the soldiers on the boat jumped into the water like dumplings. At this time, it has been the middle of winter, the river is cold, and if the soldiers who jump down cannot quickly go ashore or get on the boat, they will soon freeze in the water, and then freeze to death!

Zhou Yu's eyes were about to crack when he saw this, and he shouted and ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows. But it couldn't stop Liu Bei's warship from colliding at all! Seeing that three ships had already been knocked out of the big hole, Zhou Yu closed his eyes and ordered: "Abandon the ship!" The guards picked him up, jumped into the boat, and rowed frantically to the shore!

As Zhou Yu abandoned the ship and fled, the remaining big ships had no intention of resisting. Jiang Qin, who commanded the rear ship, saw that Zhou Yu withdrew and quickly withdrew himself. So he took the fifteen big ships that had sailed out and ran back. I'm afraid that if I run slowly, I will be caught up and knocked over. In this way, five of the ten ships on the first sortie were knocked overturned, and the remaining five were all captured by Ding. Under the advantages of the other, Sun Ce's navy and the number of ships no longer have an advantage.

Without further ado, Ding Feng won a big victory on the second day. Faced with such an impressive record, Liu Bei immediately ordered a big celebration! Looking at Sun Ce's army again, it was gloomy and bleak. The loss of ten big ships was a lot of nerves, not to mention the soldiers on those ships! Therefore, when he returned to the camp, Zhou Yu's first thing was to send a large number of boats to rescue people, although it was over at this time, Zhou Yu was also thinking about how much he could save! After the ship was dispatched, he began to count the losses in the battle. This count is incredible, less than 10 percent of the 10 soldiers on the ships have returned, and the remaining 90 percent have either been captured or drowned. Faced with such a painful defeat, Zhou Yu decided to go to Sun Ce in person to plead guilty.

In the big tent, Zhou Yu knelt in front of Sun Ce and pleaded guilty. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu without saying a word, he didn't expect his good brother to lose so badly. After looking at it for a long time, Sun Ce sighed and said, "Gongjin, you get up first!" Tell me what are we going to do now? ”

Zhou Yu said with a look of shame: "I never thought of Liu Beijun's cheap plan, this is my fault." For now, I'm afraid there is only one way to stick to it. ”

After hearing this, Sun Ce frowned and said, "This Yangtze River is so long, and it flows through a wide area. If there is no water army guarantee, how can you hold it! If I were Liu Bei, I would still confront us here, and then send a boat to cross the river elsewhere. Then attack our troops from land. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Yu also sighed and said, "Lord, this is also the problem I am most worried about. There is the advantage of cavalry in the north, if there is no naval army to stop it, I am afraid that our army is definitely not an opponent! ”

"So what's going to be done?" Sun Ce frowned. Just when he was at a loss, a person came in from the big tent curtain. Sun Ce saw that it was none other than Zhang Zhao, his newly hired strategist. Zhang Zhao Zibu, a native of Pengcheng. In the early years, he crossed the Yangtze River to Yangzhou. Sun Ce personally invited him out, and then ordered him to be a general in the long history and the army, and the civil and military affairs were all entrusted. This time he went north to refuse Liu, and Sun Ce left him in the rear to prepare grain and grass for the army. Zhang Zhao came to the army today and heard that the navy had been defeated twice, so he immediately came to meet Sun Ce.

Sun Ce hurriedly asked Zhang Zhao to sit down and speak, Zhang Zhao immediately asked about the current situation of the navy, and Zhou Yu did not hide it and said it truthfully. After hearing this, Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, the only way to do this is to retreat and advance. Sun Ce was puzzled: "Zibu thinks, how can we retreat as advance?" ”

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "The lord is afraid of nothing more than Liu Bei's strong boat, if he is allowed to cross the river to the south, the benefit of his ship will be useless." At that time, the lord was plotting to destroy his army across the river. After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Zibu is right, our army has lost twice!" Just pretend to be invincible, and then retreat after the main attack to lure it across the river, and after it goes deeper, it can be cut off from its rear road and annihilated. ”

After listening to the words of the two, Sun Ce immediately asked, "Since this is the case, can you grasp it?" Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and Zhang Zhao said: "After he crosses the river, the lord will take advantage of the time, place and people, and he will definitely be able to defeat Liu Bei!" After hearing this, Sun Ce nodded and said, "Very good!" Since you all think it's possible, let's do it! When the time comes, the army will first look at Wu County and retreat. ”

"Your lord, no! It is not possible to retreat to Kure. Liu Bei must know that the lord started from Wu County, and he has been operating in Wu County for many years, and he has a deep heritage, so it may be difficult to capture! Therefore, if you retreat here, I am afraid that Liu Beijun will not be tempted. Zhou Yu opened his mouth to persuade.

"Where does Gong Jin think we should retreat?" Sun Ce frowned.

"Go to Moling City. Although this city is in disrepair, the foundation is still there, and after a simple repair, it can be used as a bait to hang Liu Bei! When the time comes, the lord will use all the troops around him to annihilate Liu Beijun who crossed the river in one fell swoop! Zhang Zhao said.

"Good! Then retreat to Moling City. Zibu, you take Ling Tong's father and son, set off now! Go and set up some arrangements in the Moling City, and tomorrow my army will retreat here! Sun Ce commanded immediately. Zhang Zhao listened to the order and left, and after seeing him leave, Sun Ce continued to say to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, tomorrow you will also take the navy to Moling City." When you get there, settle down first, and when Liu Beijun arrives, we will kill together, and then we will take revenge for today! ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "It's all up to the lord!" If I fight again, I will definitely let Liu Beijun know how powerful I am Zhou Yu! Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu had fighting spirit again, and happily encouraged him at the moment, and then Zhou Yu withdrew from the big tent and went to the naval camp. Seeing Zhou Yu leaving, Sun Ce asked Zhou Taidao beside him: "Youping, do you think I can beat Liu Bei?" Zhou Tai glared at him and said, "Don't worry, my lord, when Liu Bei comes, I will unscrew his head and present it in front of you!" "Hahahaha! Good! I have fierce generals like Youping, and Liu Bei is not enough to worry about ~ not enough to worry about teeth! ”
