Forty miles south of Jiangxia City, in a water village built near the river, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan were drinking and chatting. This time to send troops to assist Jiangdong, Liu Bei had already hinted before leaving, so the two of them were not worried at all that someone would sue them in front of the lord.

It is not realistic to take Jiangxia City, which is defended by Liu Pan with 10,000 people, with 5,000 people. The two didn't want to die for Jiangdong, so they took people around Jiangxia City and then retreated to Shuizhai, and there was no siege at all, so that Liu Pan, who was defending Jiangxia, had a false alarm. If it weren't for Lu Meng's failure to withdraw the men who intercepted the Jiangxia messenger, maybe he would have been exposed at this time.

Feng Xi and Zhang Nancai don't care what Lu Meng will think, and they don't care if their behavior of touching fish will affect the overall situation, they are Jingnan's naval army, and the loyal lord is Liu Bei, what does Jiangdong Sun Ce's life and death have to do with them?

However, for the sake of safety, although the two of them didn't care whether they could capture Jiangxia, they did not relax their vigilance against Jiangxia at all. Not to mention sending a large number of scouts to monitor Jiang Xia's every move, he also ordered the warship to be ready to act at any time. It's not to be able to fight at any time, but to run at any time. The lord said that preserving strength is the primary task, and whether or not to make meritorious service is secondary, as long as 5,000 people can be brought back to Jingnan intact, it will be the first merit.

"Report, the Han warship was found on the river." Scouts in the army hurried in to report.

"Jiangxia sent troops?" Feng Xi put down the wine bowl and said to Zhang Nan.

Without waiting for Zhang Nan to speak, the scout who came to report the military situation replied, "General, the Han warship is not coming from the direction of Jiangxia, but from the direction of Jiangling. ”

"What? Gangneung Navy? Wenpin! Zhang Nan couldn't sit still anymore and got up and shouted.

"According to the scout's report, a large beetle flag with the word 'Wen' written on it was indeed found on the Han warship."

"Hey, interesting, what is he doing here? …… What are you still doing in a daze? Don't hurry up to give the order, the whole army gets on the boat, and prepares to leave the village. Feng Xi muttered to himself, and when he saw that the scout was still standing there, he couldn't help but say angrily.

The scout hurriedly agreed, exited the camp tent and went to give the order, Zhang Nan looked at Feng Xi in surprise and asked, "Old Feng, what are you going to do here?" Preparing for the meeting? ”

"What's going on, I'm going to run, why don't I get the boat out quickly, what if I'm stuck in the water village?" Feng Xi explained angrily.

Zhang Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he still knew Feng Xi. The Han army general Wen Ping led the navy to come, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan knew that it was not appropriate to fight with them at this time, and made up their minds to prepare to avoid the edge for the time being, intending to be in the future. Because they had been prepared for a long time, the officers and men in the army did not seem to be too flustered, and boarded the ship in order to leave.

But before Feng Xi and Zhang Nan got on the boat, they suddenly heard a shouting and killing sound from the east side of the water village, and then saw a Han army touching the east side of the water village at some point, and was rushing to their own water village to kill.

"Damn, how did they get there?" Zhang Nan shouted, turned his head to Feng Xi and said, "Old Feng, you take someone on the boat first, and I'll resist for a while." ”

"Then be careful, I'll wait for you downstream." Feng Xi said when he heard this.

Zhang Nan nodded, stretched out his hand to take the reins of the horse handed over by the lieutenant general, turned over the horse and raised his spear, and led the men and horses of his headquarters to rush out of the water village to meet the attacking Han army. After Feng Xi saw Zhang Nan leave, he immediately ordered him to hurry up and get on the ship, and since the appearance of that Han army, Feng Xi had a feeling of unease, as if he was about to face a catastrophe.

Don't stay in the land of right and wrong for long! Feng Xi knew that the water village here was no longer safe, and the only way to leave as soon as possible was to leave it, but before he could take the boat out of the water village, he heard the lookout on the boat exclaim, "There is a boat approaching!" It's so fucking fast! ”

In fact, there was no need for a lookout to warn, and Feng Xi also saw the enemy ship that was approaching rapidly. Indeed, as the lookout said, it was fucking fast. The approaching ship didn't look like it was moving on water, it was simply flying! In Feng Xi's impression, he had never seen a warship that could run so fast.

With the exclamations of all the sergeants, the rapidly approaching warship did not show the slightest sign of stopping, and crashed headlong into the ship formation of the Jingnan Naval Army. Feng Xi felt the deck under his feet shake, and immediately followed by the countless Han troops rushing down from the warship that collided with him.

At this time, there is no way to run, even if you want to return to the water village, you can't do it. The warships of the Han army came too quickly and too coincidentally, just in time for the warships of the Jingnan Navy to leave the water village and not go far. The warships collided with each other, and suddenly a "water island" was formed.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Although Feng Xi did not dare to compare himself with the brave, he also knew what choice to make at this time. If you can avoid it, you can avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, then you can only catch up. Feng Xi did not frighten the battle, and took his own guards to use his warship as a stronghold, and resisted the invasion of the Han army in advance.

There are too many Han troops! Especially after someone found that the water village on the shore was ignited, people's hearts were even more floating. Seeing the loss of his own warships one after another, Feng Xi had to retreat to the shore with the remaining manpower, but he did not expect to meet Zhang Nan, who was also killed back to the water village by the Han army from the land.

"Lao Zhang, you look a little embarrassed." Feng Xi laughed at Zhang Nandao.

"Lao Feng, you don't look very good." Zhang Nan was also not to be outdone.

"Who did you meet?" The two asked each other in unison.

"Clerkship."

"Wei Yan." The two replied in unison again.

"How did the Han army's warships run so fast?"

"How did Wei Yan go around to the east of the water village?"

“……”

“……”

"Don't think about it, let's withdraw first." Zhang Nan and Feng Xi said to each other in unison.

The two are worthy of being partners who have worked together for many years, and their ideas are the same. encountered the combination of Wen Ping and Wei Yan, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan did not overwhelm themselves when they were at a disadvantage, but chose the best plan. It's just that the plan is right, but whether it can be implemented successfully is a question.

Whether it is Wen Ping or Wei Yan, after five years of hard training, witnessing the results today, how can Zhang Nan and Feng Xi be easily allowed to escape, what the two of them want is a complete victory, not repulsion.

Wen Ping led the navy to chase along the shore, Wei Yan led the marines to block the shore, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan could only flee south along the riverside until they fled to Chibi, and finally there was no way to escape. After this siege and interception, the original 5,000 men and horses, less than 100 people who were still following Feng Xi and Zhang Nan at this time, and those who did not keep up with the team were either killed or captured.

Looking at the panicked people around him, Feng Xi smiled bitterly and said to Zhang Nan: "Lao Zhang, it seems that you and I have reached the catastrophe." ”

"Alas~ I didn't expect it either. If you want to live, then surrender, Lao Zhang and I won't blame you. Zhang Nan also sighed and said to the soldiers who were at a loss.

At this time, Feng Xi also thought about it, he would either die or surrender today, he didn't want to fall, but there was no need to drag the person who wanted to live to bury him. And after seeing that Feng Xi didn't say anything, those who are a little calm, look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be a bird. The devil knows if the general is feeling it or if he is talking the opposite.

Seeing this, Zhang Nan sighed again, and said to everyone: "Let's go, if you want to continue to escape, continue to escape, and if you don't want to continue to escape, surrender to the Han army, don't stay here to be an eyesore." ”

Hearing Zhang Nan's words, everyone slowly retreated, and when they saw that Zhang Nan and Feng Xi did not react, they all left, leaving only Zhang Nan and Feng Xi.

After waiting for a while, one of the people who had left before returned to Zhang Nan and Feng Xi's temporary resting place, Zhang Nan asked in wonder when he saw this, "What are you doing when you come back?" ”

"General, the general of the Han army ordered me to come and deliver the message."

"Needless to say, there is only Feng Xi who died in battle, and there is no Feng Xi who surrendered." Feng Xi loudly interrupted the comer's words.

"You hear me, go back and get back to your life." Zhang Nan waved his hand good-natured and said to the visitor.

“…… But the general, the general of the Han army, said that if you don't surrender, he will take our people to bury the two generals. The man who came told the truth with a sad face.

“…… Who is so shameless? Feng Xi asked angrily.

"Wei Yan."

Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and Wei Yan had a relationship, Wei Yan was captured by mistake that day, Liu Bei ordered someone to escort him to Jiangling, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan happened to lead their troops across the river to meet Liu Bei in Jiangling, and met Wei Yan, the general of the defeated army. Unexpectedly, the water rotated, and Wei Yan, who was not looked down upon by Feng Xi and Zhang Nan that day, was going to capture the two of them alive today.

"You go back and tell Wei Yan that if it's a big husband, then you will come with real knives and guns, and Hugh will engage in these conspiracies." Feng Xi pointed to the visitor and shouted.

But how dare the people who came to persuade him to talk to Wei Yan like this, his life was in the thought of others, so he didn't want to live?

The plea was fruitless, and those who persuaded him to surrender had to retreat. Feng Xi and Zhang Nan thought that the next step would be the general attack of the Han army, and they began to prepare for the final battle with each other, but they didn't want to persuade Fang to surrender alone, but this time it was twenty or thirty people who came together to persuade them to surrender. These people didn't dare to use force, they just cried and begged Feng Xi and Zhang Nan to save their lives.

"Get out of here! Don't bother Lao Tzu! Feng Xi scolded irritably, and Zhang Nan also shook his head again and again. But the people who could persuade them to surrender did not give up, and one by one they knelt down in front of Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, and reached out to hug the thighs of the two. Feng Xi was just about to raise his leg and kick away the people who dared to come over and hug his thighs, but he didn't want those people to move faster. Almost instantly, Zhang Nan and Feng Xi were put to the ground, their hands and feet were captured, and they were almost overwhelmed.

"Woo~Woo~" Feng Xi wanted to scold, but the gang was afraid that Feng Xi would bite his tongue and commit suicide, so they plugged Feng Xi's mouth with the prepared sackcloth as soon as possible.

……

"Hahaha~ Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." Seeing Feng Xi and Zhang Nan who were carried over like pigs, Wei Yan asked with a smile.

"Woo~Woo~" Feng Xi wanted to scold, but his mouth was blocked, and others didn't know what he was scolding.

"Oh, oh, I know, General Feng said that he had the intention of surrendering, but unfortunately he couldn't find the opportunity." Wei Yan was talking nonsense with a smile on his face, so angry that Feng Xi's eyes widened, and he looked like he wanted to bite Wei Yan to death.

"Wen Chang, don't tease General Feng, I know you're happy, but you also have to think about the friendship of your colleagues in the future." Wen Ping, who was also in a good mood, said to Wei Yan.

"General Wen is right, it was Wei Yan who was reckless. General Feng, I'm sorry. But don't expect me to let you go now, and I won't give you a chance to speak and curse. Wei Yan said to Feng Xi with a smile.

Feng Xi really planned to fight with Wei Yan as soon as he was free, even if he couldn't do it, he would have to scold him. But I didn't expect Wei Yan to be so shrewd, he didn't leave any chance for himself, so he could only stare at Wei Yan angrily.

But where would Wei Yan be afraid of being stared at, ignoring Feng Xi, who was staring at him, and instructed his subordinates: "Good students should be placed in two generals, don't be lazy." Don't let them loose for the time being, wait until you get back to Gangneung. ”

After Wei Yan's advice, Feng Xi and Zhang Nansu could only continue to maintain the posture of being tied up and let people go down. When there were no outsiders around, Wei Yan asked Wen Ping, "General, what are the next arrangements?" ”

The first battle was successful, five years of training were not in vain, and more importantly, Wei Yan proved his ability through this battle, Wei Yan seemed to have seen a great future beckoning to him. And Wen Ping was also very happy, but his personality was more steady, knowing Wei Yan's thoughts at this time, he persuaded softly: "Wen Chang is not in a hurry, you have the credit, but not now." Collect the troops and return to Gangneung. ”

Wei Yan was a little disappointed when he heard this, he did have the idea of taking this opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but he was seen through by Wen Ping, and because Wen Yan was the main general, he had to follow the order, so he had to give up his original idea and leave to sort out the team.

Looking at Wei Yan's departing back, Wen Ping shook his head slightly, and said secretly: "It seems that this Wei Wenchang still needs to be polished, otherwise this greedy temperament will cause him a big disaster sooner or later." ”

……

The news of the annihilation of Feng Xi and Zhang Nannan's army soon reached Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little depressed when he learned that it was the Jiangling Navy that solved Feng Xi and Zhang Nan. The wealth of the imperial court is overwhelming, and it is only by saving money and frugality that he can make up a Jingnan naval army, but as soon as the imperial court gave an order, the two naval armies of Jiangxia and Jiangling began to be established.

The navy is a loss-making business that requires a lot of investment, and it is not possible to lose money. Without a water army, Jingnan held the water defense line, and without the water defense line, Liu Bei could not sleep well.

The number of Jingnan Navy is almost 30,000, and there are more than 800 large and small warships, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, the two losers, defeated a quarter of the Navy at one time, Liu Bei said that it was impossible not to feel distressed. But the matter has come to this point, no matter how distressed it is, it is useless, so I have to continue to recruit troops from Jingnan to replenish the lost navy, and on the other hand, I ordered Jingnan shipwrights to build new ships.

Compared with what happened to Liu Bei, the situation of Sun Quan and Lu Meng was not much better. Lu Meng didn't know what was wrong, although the Jiangxia Navy divided its troops, it did not send troops to save Jiangxia as he thought in advance, but the fierce general Tai Shici led the troops to Qichun.

Wai Wei to save Zhao? But how does Lu Xun think that Qichun is the place where the Jiangdong Army will be saved? Judging from the situation reported by the scouts, Tai Shici's marching of men and horses along the way was hidden, and if it weren't for the sophistication of his own scouts, he would not have been able to find out the whereabouts of this group of people and horses. But if you want to go on a secret mission, what are you going to do?

The problem plagued Lu Meng, and Lu Meng, who couldn't figure it out, saw that he was getting thinner and thinner, and Sun Quan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. Since regaining Sun Ce's trust and serving as the Taishou of Danyang, Sun Quan began to cultivate his own power. After encountering a series of things such as suspicion, vigilance, and cold reception, Sun Quan knew that if he wanted to control his own destiny, he would definitely not be able to do without the support of strength. Brotherhood? Looking at Sun Xu's situation now, you can understand how fragile brotherhood is in front of the word power.

Sun Quan didn't want to let others control his own destiny, Sun Ce appointed him as the Taishou of Danyang, on the surface he was grateful, but in his heart he was sneering.

There is no harmony within Jiangdong, and there are many contradictions between the old and the local and the foreign. It's just that Sun Ce is pressing on top, and everyone doesn't dare to make a mistake. But in this way, it also gave Sun Quan the opportunity to gather people and cultivate power. Lü Meng was not from Jiangdong, he just voted for Sun Ce with his brother-in-law Deng Dang, and after Deng Dang died in battle, Lü Meng also became Sun Ce's subordinate. It's just that Sun Ce's most trusted person is Zhou Yu, and Lu Meng is nothing in Sun Ce's eyes.

Sun Quan wooed Lü Meng and personally supervised Lü Meng to study. People are like this, comparing their hearts to their hearts, Lu Meng soon abandoned Sun Ce, who did not pay attention to himself, and became Sun Quan's confidant, although the lord of Jiangdong is still Sun Ce, but in Lu Meng's eyes, only Sun Quan is qualified to become the lord of Jiangdong. Under Lü Meng's recommendation, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Chen Wu, who were also not natives of Jiangdong, became Sun Quan's henchmen one after another.

This time, Sun Quan led his troops to attack Jiangxia, except for Zhou Tai, who came to protect Sun Quan's safety on Sun Ce's orders, the rest of the people were Sun Quan's "own people".

It is precisely because of this that Sun Quan does not want his strength to be damaged too much. Lu Xun ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead the troops to attack Qi Chun, which in itself is not too important, there is a ship in hand, if the opportunity is not good, you can withdraw immediately. But Lu Xun is not a mediocre person, and his every move is likely to have deep meaning. Sun Quan was worried about what was hidden behind Tai Shi Ci's capture of Qi Chun.

"Zhongmou, why don't you order Zhou Tai to lead the troops to save Qi Chun?" Lü Meng suggested to Sun Quan. Before you can't think of the other party's intentions, obstructing the other party's desired goal becomes the only way to deal with it. Didn't Tai Shici go to capture Qi Chun? So good, I won't let you take Qi Chun, see what you do next?

Lu Meng is not worried about the water village, not to mention himself, just Pan Zhang, Ding Feng and others, they are also skilled in water warfare, even if the Han army has new warships in hand, but if it really fights, his side may not be able to win or lose.

The water march is faster than the land march, but when Zhou Tai led the people to Qichun, he learned that Tai Shici just took the Han army to wander around Qichun City and disappeared. And when Zhou Tai reported the news to Sun Quan, Lu Meng's head hurt even more.

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, what is Lu Xun going to do?
