The next day, Xiangyang. Liu Biao's Jingzhou Pastoral Office.

"Governor Qiyu, our naval army has been defeated!"

In the mansion of Cai Mao, the current governor of Jingzhou's naval army, a general is reporting to Cai Mao in front of him, this is bad news that can't be worse, so the general said a little frightened.

As a result, Cai Mao didn't respond for a long time, which made the general even more unsure of what to do, and for a while, the atmosphere in the hall also seemed gloomy.

“……”

"Governor, what are we going to do?" The general kept kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up, and after a long time, he couldn't help but ask again.

"What happened? Zhang Dudu did not act according to plan? Cai Mao looked at it with a scroll in her hand, and asked without raising her head, as if it was none of her business.

"Back to Dadudu, Zhang Dudu acted according to the plan, that Zhang Ying attacked Lujiang Water Village, but the surprise attack failed, and finally retreated. So Zhang Dudu intercepted Zhang Ying halfway, prepared to annihilate Liu Yao's army, and then marched to Danyang. Originally, everything went well, but I never thought that after the Yuan army chasing Zhang Ying saw Zhang Dudu attacking Zhang Ying, they actually united with Zhang Ying, who was originally the enemy, and attacked Zhang Dudu's army back and forth, and finally surrounded more than half of our army's warships, Zhang Dudu's flagship building ship was sunk, and then captured, and finally we only escaped back with two building ships, ten fighting ships, and fifty ships. The rest of the navy was surrounded by both armies and all surrendered. ”

“……”

Cai Mao was silent for a while before he asked again, "Who is the commander of the Yuan Army?" ”

The general replied, "It was Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Shu, who personally participated in this battle. ”

"Oh?" Cai Mao finally raised his head, "I didn't expect the Yuan family kid to be so decisive, but the governor of Pontus is a little light." ”

The general said, "So what should we do now?" Do you want to report to the state pastor? ”

Cai Mao put down the book and got up and came to the bedside, looked out for a while, and then stretched out before saying: "You don't have to tell the state pastor, the matter of the navy, our navy will solve it by ourselves, otherwise there will be some flies and dogs who want to take advantage." The herald ordered all the naval forces to assemble, and the governor of this matter was to go out in person. ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

……

Lujiang Water Village.

Since he arrested Zhang Yun and officially started a war with Liu Biao, Yuan Yao ordered someone to monitor the movements of the Jingzhou Navy, and as a result, in the past few days, the information on the large-scale movement of the Jingzhou Navy's army has been transmitted to Yuan Yao, and he knows that there is not much time left for him.

While arranging the work of cloning, Yuan Yao urged Lu Su to speed up the integration efforts, and he must rush to Jiangdong before the Jingzhou naval army is assembled, otherwise everything will be over.

Lujiang now has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, half of which are recruited and surrendered, and in the case of insufficient training, the combat strength and morale can be said to have dropped to the freezing point.

But no matter what the crowd is, as long as it reaches a certain number, as long as it can make them listen to the command, it will be useful, but the casualties may be very large.

Lu Su had no objection to Yuan Yao's order to cross the river immediately, and he also knew that he did not have time to prepare everything for him.

So after spending a total of five days and cutting off thousands of heads, Lu Su finally let more than 20,000 troops surrender to the point where they could obey the command.

The person who was cut down had violated military law, and Yuan Yao had nothing to say if he didn't want to kill anyone, otherwise he wouldn't lead the troops.

Then, Yuan Yao couldn't wait to personally lead an army of 50,000 to board the ship and kill Danyang in a mighty way.

Yuan Yao's current navy already has 30 fighting ships and 80 ships, which can carry more than 30,000 sailors, and the rest are in small boats such as walkers, which is convenient for direct landing.

The huge fleet stretched out a distance of several miles above the Yangtze River, Yuan Yao looked back, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, it was the first time Yuan Yao had seen such a large-scale naval march, and it was not much larger than the scale of the Jingzhou naval army led by Zhang Yun before.

It took nearly three hours from Shuizhai to Danglikou, and the reason why I had to go there was because I had to eliminate Liu Xuan's army by the way, otherwise it would be very dangerous to be attacked from both sides during the landing war.

Yuan Yao thought that the journey would not be smooth sailing, and Liu Miao might come to look for trouble when he got the news, but he did not encounter any harassment and obstruction along the way, and the army reached its destination directly.

Yuan Yao stood at the bow of the boat and looked out, and the Dangli ferry was close in front of him.

There was not a single flag in the ferry; There was not a single defender; Not even a single warship.

It was as if it were a deserted civilian ferry, silent......

Sun Ce stood on the flagship and was silent, facing the silent Dang Likou, but there was no happy look on his face at all.

Isn't it a good thing that without an enemy, it is possible to win without a fight? Why upset?

In fact, winning without a fight may be a good thing for Yuan Yao, but not necessarily for Sun Ce.

Because this means that a great battle that should have been commanded by him will not happen, and the huge credit after the victory will be gone.

Without merit, he can only continue to be his captain, and if he can't be promoted to general, if he can't be promoted to general, he won't have military power.

Because of the lack of generals in Yuan Yao's naval army, Sun Ce had the opportunity to command a water battle, but it was not necessarily on land, so this landing battle may be the only large-scale war he had full command of, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time, but everything in front of him told him that you think too much.

Liu Miao actually gave up being a likou?

Yuan Yao was very proud, and tried his best to build and loot a large number of warships, and now it really worked, and the army pressed the border to scare the enemy away, isn't this called a soldier who surrenders without a fight!

"Zijing, do you think Liu Miao was really scared away by our navy? Just gave up the Yangtze River natural insurance? ”

On the flagship, Yuan Yao tried his best to hide his smug expression, and turned his head to ask Lu Su beside him.

Lu Su shook his head and said uncertainly: "The subordinates don't dare to decide, they need to let the landing soldiers be careful, in addition to ambushes, they need to pay special attention to being attacked by enemy fire." ”

The word "fire attack" made the proud Yuan Yao's heart tighten, and he remembered that countless people in the Three Kingdoms were embarrassed by this fire attack plan, what kind of fire burned the company camp; burning red cliffs; burned Fancheng; Burning Bowang Slope; Burning vine armor soldiers, etc., etc., etc......

Yuan Yao didn't want this kind of thing to happen to him, so he hurriedly suppressed his pride and faced it carefully.

"Bo Fu, take the landing troops ashore, pay attention to whether there are any fire starters such as fire oil in the ferry, and be careful of the opponent's fire attack and ambush."

"No." Sun Ce received the order with a gloomy face.

Now he hopes that there is really an ambush in the ferry, then at least he can still fight, and he will not come in vain.

All the large warships of the navy pressed towards the shore, put the ferry into the firing range and stood by;

All the troop carriers, under the protection of the warships, began to move towards the shore.

A large number of soldiers, who landed on the shore and rushed into the ferry......

In everyone's nervous anticipation, there was no sound of fighting on the shore, and the reports of "nothing found" made Sun Ce's heart sink to the bottom, and he searched for more than an hour, and no suspicious things or suspicious people were found in the ferry.

Liu Miao seems to have really given up on the Yangtze River natural insurance.

Yuan Yao couldn't stop smiling!

Not a single soldier was lost, landing in Jiangdong!
