Lu Meng's dream was shattered.

Just a moment ago, he was full of confidence, vainly trying to defeat Gan Ning in a battle, capture Baqiu, and achieve another miraculous feat.

At that time, with the great military exploits of capturing Xiakou and Baqiu, who in the entire Jiangdong would dare to underestimate him Lu Meng.

He led the army to the expedition with such a high-spirited dream, who would have expected that a bad news would ruthlessly shatter his dream.

Why?

How did Su Zhe do it?

Lu Meng's mind was buzzing, and he suddenly woke up, snatching the information from the scout's hand and taking a closer look.

Then the shock and suspicion on his face vanished, replaced by a deep heaviness.

He shuddered, and a chill ran through his back.

It is clearly written on the intelligence that it was Su Zhe who used magic to freeze Han Shui, so that he could successfully cross the river by stepping on the ice, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky to kill Ling Cao by surprise.

"Witchcraft, witchcraft, I thought of all the possibilities, but I didn't expect that Su Thief still has witchcraft, how can such an enemy, with our mere mortal body, fight with it......"

Lu Meng's heart was cold, and a feeling of helplessness suddenly appeared in his heart.

Ling Tongyi snatched the information from him, and after looking at it for a long time, he scolded: "Okay, you Su thief, you actually use witchcraft shamelessly, father, I don't know if you are alive or dead......

Ling Tong didn't think about it that much, he just learned that Ling Cao was captured, and he was angry and worried.

The boatload of Jiangdong soldiers was full of discussions, and they all fell into a panic.

"Did you hear it, Xiakou has fallen."

"I heard that the King of Wei used some kind of spell to freeze the Han water."

"This is terrible, is King Wei a man or a god?"

"Such an enemy, how can we fight him, isn't that a loss?"

Lu Meng listened to the panicked discussions of the soldiers, his heart was as uncomfortable as a pinprick, his fists were secretly clenched, and a nameless anger was igniting.

"Panic!"

He suddenly snorted, turned around and swept angrily at the soldiers, "Even if that thief has demon skills, even if he is a god, what if I Lu Meng meets a demon and kills a demon, and a god kills a god, who can stop me!" ”

The ship was as dead as silence.

Everyone's eyes stared at Lu Meng in surprise, and that look seemed to be infected by Lu Meng's confidence and arrogance.

Ling Tong also looked at Lu Meng in a daze, and only came back to his senses after a while, and said resolutely: "What Governor Lu said is right, who have we Jiangdong Erlang been afraid of, you give the order, let's kill back again, recapture Xiakou, and rescue my father." ”

Lu Meng took a deep breath and shouted: "Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately turn the bow of the ship and withdraw to Chaisang." ”

Ling Tong's generous expression changed suddenly.

He originally thought that Lü Meng was going to take them back to Xiakou, but he didn't expect that Lü Meng would order the withdrawal of Chaisang.

"Lu Dudu, what do you mean by this, my father is not saved? Natsuguchi doesn't want it? Ling Tong was anxious.

Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "The city of Xiakou is tightened, and the Su thieves are proficient in the art of war, just with our little strength, how can we attack it without ten days and a half months, when the time comes, Ganning's naval army will go all the way to the east, and cooperate with the Su thieves to attack inside and outside, we will be in danger of annihilation, how can I take this risk." ”

"But, my father is still in the hands of Su thieves!" Ling Tong's anxious voice was crying.

Lu Meng sighed and said helplessly: "Ling Zun fell into the hands of the Su thief, and I am also very sad, but for the sake of the overall situation, I can only do this, Ling Gongji, I hope you can understand." ”

"I-" Ling Tong still wanted to argue.

"Ling Gongji!" Lu Meng interrupted him sharply, and said with a straight face: "Do you want to ignore the lives of tens of thousands of my soldiers and the great cause of the lord for your own selfishness?" ”

Ling Tong was speechless.

What else can he say, he put the overall situation out, not to mention that Ling Tong's father was captured, even if his entire army fell into the hands of Su Zhe, he could only accept the military order painfully.

"Without further ado, let's go." Lu Meng patted Ling Tong on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Ling Tong was entangled on the deck, but he could only grit his teeth and sigh long.

When the order was issued, more than 500 Jiangdong warships and more than 20,000 Jiangdong sailors immediately turned their bows and galloped downstream.

Upstream, Port of Bachu.

More than 20,000 Wei sailors in the harbor have been lined up along the coast, and the warships anchored in the harbor and the trestle are full of crossbowmen and sword and shield men, waiting for the enemy's approach.

Gan Ning immediately came to the shore, his expression was solemn, and his eyebrows were no longer the pride of being invincible across the Yangtze River, but on the contrary, there was a faint hint of jealousy.

He was jealous of Lu Meng.

When Lü Meng attacked Xiakou the previous time, he had not yet brought Lü Meng back, and led the navy down the river to the east, trying to recapture Xiakou, and fought a battle with Lü Meng in the area of Lukou.

As a result, Gan Ning, who had never been defeated in the Yangtze River for many years, actually kicked the iron plate and was defeated by Lu Meng.

That defeat made him deeply appreciate the fierceness of the water battle in Lümeng, and he did not dare to fight again after retreating to Baqiu.

Now, Lü Meng is leading the naval army to attack in a big way, but Gan Ning does not dare to lead the warships to meet the attack, so he can only retreat in the port of Baqiu and passively defend.

"Lu Meng, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, I can't beat you on the water, and I can't beat you on the land, if you have the courage, let the horse attack!"

Gan Ning snorted coldly, held the halberd in his hand, cheered up, and prepared for a bloody battle.

More than an hour passed, but the shadow of the enemy warship appeared on the river for a long time.

Gan Ning was suspicious in his heart, wondering what tricks this Lu Meng was playing.

At this moment, a scout galloped over and shouted in surprise: "Report to the general, the Jiangdong Navy suddenly turned around and left halfway." ”

Halfway to the transfer?

Gan Ning's expression moved, and he asked urgently: "Then Lu Meng retreated to the water camp and didn't plan to attack my Baqiu?" ”

"No, the enemy even abandoned the water camp and went directly downstream, and they were still in a hurry."

Gan Ning's eyes lit up, this result was too unexpected for him.

Could it be that Lu Meng learned that his reinforcements were on the way, so he was afraid and didn't dare to fight?

That's not right, Su Zhe sent him reinforcements, but he hasn't arrived in Jiangling yet, even if he rushes over, it will take at least two or three days, and Lu Meng has enough time to launch a decent attack.

"Could it be that the kid surnamed Lu is playing some trick to lure me into attacking?"

Gan Ning couldn't think of any other reason after thinking about it, so he could only guess like this.

At that moment, he issued an order to strictly guard Baqiu, and not leave the port in a single boat, so as not to respond to all changes, and never to be Lu Meng's deed.

At the same time, he also sent a number of scouts and sentinel ships to closely monitor Lü Meng's movements from land and water.

It took two days, and after two days, he finally waited for the return of the sentinel ship from downstream.

What the sentinel ship brought back was not the news that Lü Meng had gone and returned, but that Lü Meng's warship had already joined the Huanggai Department of Hanjin, passed directly through the waters of Xiakou, and retreated to Chaisang.

The reason is very simple, Xiakou City was attacked by their King of Wei.

"No, how did King Wei attack Xiakou unknowingly? Did he have wings? ”

Gan Ning, who heard the news, was so surprised that he was dumbfounded.
