Cao Cao began to send people to win over the powerful families in the city, and this method may not be effective quickly. It takes time to infiltrate the city, it takes time to contact the powerful family, and it also takes time for the powerful family to consult with each other. Moreover, in preparing to rebel against Liu Bei, it will take time to find an opportunity!

In this way, Runan entered a period of relative calm, and both sides were busy.

Liu Bei in the city saw Zhang Yi's letter and began to prepare for defense. He not only had to strengthen the city defenses, but also asked Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others to constantly invite and appease the powerful families in the city from time to time. Liu Bei Rongma has been a horse all his life, and he knows a lot about the family and Haoqiang, so he must be on guard. Of course, the strength of the powerful family in Runan is not as good as before, and it is no longer possible to be troubled by Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao, who was outside the city, was also busy. While building siege equipment, digging tunnels, and piling up soil for platforms, he is looking for opportunities to enter the city and contact the powerful family.

Zhang Yi also confronted Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao also guarded Shen County, and if they could not fight with Zhang Yi, they would not fight with Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi didn't want to fight with Xiahou Yuan either, he had already fought a lot of battles this year. It is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers are tired, so if he can not fight, he will try not to fight, and he went to Shenxian County so that Xiahou Yuan would not suppress Yangquan and Anfeng from the side. Therefore, maintaining such a situation is what Zhang Yi hopes for the most, but Xue Rengui is the most uncomfortable, and he is still waiting to make contributions! How can you make a career without fighting?

Runan has temporarily stopped, and Guangling's side is also nearing the end. After Chen Deng retreated from the sea, Li Jing returned to Wu County, and the situation before the war was restored.

Master Shang and apprentice are also retreating, he wants to stay in Guangling, but because he has not captured Tangyi County before, Tangyi County in the rear has always been a threat. Moreover, Zhang Yi can't start a war on two fronts for the time being, and he has to talk about Guangling County after he has finished the Runan side first. Guangling County will be occupied by him sooner or later, because a large part of Guangling County is on the south bank of Huaishui, which can threaten Shouchun.

I don't know when it began, there was a saying that guarding the river must guard the Huai. Only by occupying the land of Jianghuai can there be a large number of buffer zones, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended. Before Zhang Yi entered Jingzhou in the west, he must do his best to ensure the safety of his rear.

After Gan Ning chased out of the Tonghai area, he caught up with Chen Deng's fleet, and it was a fierce blow when he went up.

Chen Deng's boat was small, and the big ships were basically brought by Sun Fu, and they were even more bumpy after arriving at sea. On the contrary, Ganning's big ships are much better, and their combat capability is still quite retained.

Chen Deng saw that he was only beaten, but he could not fight back, so he had to order a quick retreat to the north to try to get rid of Gan Ning's entanglement.

Gan Ning naturally wouldn't give up, and pursued until the night, then stopped slightly, ready to rest, and then chased again after dawn.

As a result, in the middle of the night, the wind was strong, and the ship did not know where it was blowing. Then, the torrential rain suddenly came, and the navy could not find its way.

Gan Ning could only order the boats to be connected together, and the small boats to be tied to the big boats to resist the wind and waves.

Not everyone knows how to tie boats, but anyone with a little brains will hold their boats together with the cables that moored the boats, and even if they don't know that they can resist the wind and waves, they know that this will ensure that the fleet will not be blown away.

Gan Ning didn't sleep all night, and kept swimming around the boats to see if there was any loss.

Early the next morning, the weather cleared and the storm weakened. Gan Ning jumped on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly! Stimulate! It's really exciting!

Gan Ning was originally a wild person and was unusually bold, so he ran rampant on the river all year round. Now that he has seen the sea, after experiencing the storm, the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe makes him want to experience it again.

Gan Ning shouted at the bow of the boat, and many of the already tired sailors were also aroused by him, and they also shouted.

Li Jun was inspecting the ships and counting the losses. Because of the large ship, the loss was not very large, but there were two small boats missing, and more than 30 people were lost.

Gan Ning shouted, his eyes kept on the distance. Suddenly, he seemed to see something, and immediately shouted: "Brother Li, quickly send a Meng Chong to take a look, it seems to be Chen Deng's fleet over there!" ”

When Li Jun heard this, he immediately jumped on a Meng Chong. Because of his previous credit for killing Huang Gai, he was already at the same level as Gan Ning, but he was still the deputy governor of the Wet Beard Saliva Army. Although he admires Gan Ning very much, this does not stop him from wanting to make contributions.

Li Jun approached the front by boat, only to see a bay, and sure enough, there was a fleet, Meng Chong and fighting ships, which should be Chen Deng's fleet.

When he went in a little further, Li Jun found that something was wrong, there seemed to be a lot more ships, and Chen Deng didn't have so many fighting ships.

Getting closer, Li Jun saw clearly the flag planted on the fighting ship, and a Sun character was written on it.

Sun's ship! Li Jun's heart was beating wildly, and he immediately asked Meng Chong to retreat.

After going back, Li Jun got on the big boat and said to Gan Ning: "Brother Gan, it's Sun's ship!" ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he was overjoyed! The Sun family was divided into three, Sun Quan surrendered to his lord, Sun Fu surrendered to Cao Cao, and the Sun family here must be Sun Yi and Sun Jing.

Gan Ning knew that his father-in-law was very angry at running away with Sun Fu, Sun Yi and others, and directly scolded Shi Zhi. You must know that Shi Zhi can be said to be the favored minister of the lord, and if there is any good thing, he will reward him, and even often ask him to eat at home, so that others cannot enjoy it.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was not a villain, and he didn't act as a prestige on weekdays, and he did his best to work, maybe someone would have to advise the lord to be a villain.

Now that Sun Yi, Sun Jing and others are in front of them, how can Gan Ning not be overjoyed? He immediately ordered: "Brother Li, you and Captain Pan each lead a fleet and outflank them from the left and right!" ”

Li Jun immediately informed Pan Zhang, and then outflanked him as ordered.

When Pan Zhang heard that it was Sun Yi and Sun Jing's fleet in front of him, his heart immediately became complicated. He was originally a minister of the Sun family, but now he wants to arrest the Sun family, and he still can't accept it.

However, his lord Sun Quan surrendered, and he also became a minister of the Zhang family, even if he felt uncomfortable, he had to carry out the order.

Soon, three flotillas surrounded the docked flotilla. There are a few people on the flotilla guarding the fleet, but where are the opponents of the Ganning Navy? It was quickly defeated.

"Pan Zhang, you occupy these ships. Li Jun, land on the shore in a small boat, set up a camp, look for Sun Yi, Sun Jing and others, if we capture them back to Shouchun, we will send them this time. ”
