Chapter Ninety-Two: Counting and Being Counted

On the third day of September in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, it rained heavily in Jingzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The majestic rain obscured the vision, the dark clouds rolled up the wind, blowing the waves on the river, and the occasional thunder across the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth in an instant.

Chen Zhi, who was inspecting Xiakou, was trapped in this rain curtain, watching the huge waves outside the port that were swept up by the wind constantly slapping the port, Fu De shook the hat in his hand, and looked at the taciturn general beside him, he was not famous in Jingzhou, but I am afraid that few people in the whole world know that Liu Bei can have today's momentum, it is because the unknown general in front of him blocked the invasion of Jiangdong here for him, so that the Jiangdong naval army could not advance an inch.

He has no less courage than Guan Zhang, but he rarely shows it, and looking at Liu Bei's army, there are very few people who know about it.

As for why Fu De is here, it was Zhuge Liang who sent him to send a letter to Chen Zhi before leaving, as for the content of the letter, Fu De had secretly opened it, but it was just a very ordinary entrustment, and not much information was revealed, but after Chen Zhi read the letter, he just glanced at Fu De lightly and told Fu De: "The military advisor said in the letter that you are both civil and military, and you are a rare talent, since this is the case, stay in Jiangxia." ”

At that moment, Voldet almost blurted out that the letter didn't say so, but fortunately he reacted quickly and saved him from being exposed, but it was also that beginning, Volde knew that he had been targeted by Zhuge Liang, and he didn't know where he showed his feet, but these didn't matter anymore, he wasn't sure if Liu Bei knew about it, but he knew that Xiangyang himself couldn't go back, and this matter had been secretly reported to Luoyang by him through the nightingale in Jingzhou, as for Lu Bu's answer, it could only be summed up in three words...... Help Koto.

How to help Lu Bu was not mentioned in the letter, but he was just asked to act at the opportunity, and one thing is for sure, Jiangdong will make big moves in the near future.

But it has been more than a month since Zhuge Liang entered Shu, the Chaisang camp is calm, and there is no reaction on the side of Lujiang, and Chen Zhi himself just kept him by his side, and did not deliberately make things difficult, of course, it is impossible to get close, just like Gao Shun under Lu Bu's account, this is not a person who is easy to get close to.

Chen Zhi's whereabouts will be passed on to Jiangdong Nightingale by Fude by secret means, although he does not have any real power, but he follows Chen Zhi every day, and he can almost accurately grasp Chen Zhi's whereabouts, including this trip to Xiakou.

The pouring rain made the beacon tower useless, and Fu De suddenly felt that if he wanted to break Jiangxia, this would be a good opportunity, as long as Jiangdong sent people to besiege Xiakou, strangle Chen Dao, and occupy Xiakou, then Jiangxia's portal would be equivalent to being opened.

Will Koto send troops at this time?

Volt didn't know, because it was only a single line of transportation, Jiangdong would not give him any reply, nor did he ask himself to make any preparations, but Volt felt that this was a good opportunity, but Jiangdong might not think so, or he didn't expect that there would be this pouring rain, and he missed this opportunity.

"You know what?" In the rain curtain, Chen Zhi stood in the tower, overlooking the river, in fact, in addition to constantly slapping the waves of the port, he could no longer see in the distance, and Chen Zhi, who rarely spoke, startled Fu De with his cold opening.

"What did the general say?" Fude's heartbeat suddenly increased a little, but he looked at Chen Dao with a blank look on his face.

"In this area, there will be such a few days of weather every year, I have been guarding Jiangxia for many years, and I can even estimate the specific days of this weather." Chen Zhi turned his head to look at Fu De, and a smile appeared on his somewhat rigid face.

"I can be known by an outsider, and Jiangdong Junjie must also know this, if they can see that I will come here today, it will be a good opportunity to get rid of me." Chen seems to have a lot to say today.

Fu De's heart suddenly sank, but the smile on his face was extremely natural: "The general said that he laughed, the Jiangdong people are not immortals, how could they know that the general will come here today?" ”

"If someone reports my whereabouts to Koto, they will know." Chen Zhi put away his smile and looked at Fu De.

"Does the general mean that there are fine works in the army?" Fu De's face changed, and he frowned and looked at Chen Dao.

Chen Zhi also frowned, looked at Fu De, didn't see anything unusual, and shook his head: "Maybe, it's just a hypothesis." ”

Volde breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, similar conversations have appeared before, although there are not many, but every time it is so sudden, even if Volde has experienced the most rigorous training, from entering Jingzhou to the present, Volde doesn't even dare to dream, for fear that he will say something that should not be said in the dream, the feeling like walking a tightrope is not good, so that Volde once thought that he was about to go crazy.

The rain was still falling, and the expected Jiangdong soldiers and horses did not appear, until the dark clouds in the sky gradually faded away, and at the same time, Fude breathed a sigh of relief, but also had an unspeakable loss, which means that this kind of fear and fear, walking a tightrope like days will continue.

Frowning, Chen Zhi glanced at Volde again, didn't say anything, just sighed, stepped on the muddy road, and was about to leave, it was also at this time that a personal guard suddenly looked in a direction in surprise and exclaimed: "General, look!" ”

"Huh?" When Chen Zhi heard this, he turned his head to look, but saw that in the direction of Jiangxia, several thick pillars of smoke connected the sky, even with Chen Zhi's calmness, he couldn't help but change color at this moment.

"Jiangxia beacon, it's not good!" Chen Zhi shouted: "Sound the horn! ”

Woo woo ~ woo woo ~

In Fude's stunned gaze, from the hidden places around Jiangxia, a number of clippers quickly appeared, densely gathered, and at a glance, the entire river was covered with boats of different sizes, mighty.

"Return to Jiangxia!" Chen Zhi glanced at Fu De coldly, and when he saw the astonishment in Fu De's eyes, he snorted coldly, he couldn't care too much at the moment, and hurriedly jumped on a warship, and Fu De also hurriedly followed, and now he finally knew what was wrong, if the Jiangdong soldiers and horses rashly attacked Xiakou before, I am afraid that they would suffer, but now, ...... Volde breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"General, rush back to Jiangxia now, I'm afraid it will ......" A partial general came to Chen Zhi's side and said hesitantly.

If the other party has been planning for a long time, then during this time, the remaining troops in Jiangxia may have already fallen, and if they go back at this moment, they are likely to be ambushed by the other party.

"Even if there is a glimmer of possibility, you must not give up!" Chen Zhi said coldly.

Volde suddenly felt that he should find a way to get out, but standing with Chen Zhi, he obviously wouldn't give himself such a chance.

Thousands of ships of different sizes, under the command of Chen Zhi, quickly rushed back to Jiangxia, but they were greeted by the Jiangdong army that had been waiting on the bank of the river.

"Chen to Xiao'er, Donglai Tai Shici is here! Don't surrender yet! On the riverbank, a general put on his armor and looked at Chen Zhi with a sneer: "Look who this is!" ”

With Tai Shici's order, a soldier appeared on the bank of the river with a human head.

Chen Zhi only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the head of the person was Guan Ping, with a pair of tiger eyes and angry eyes, but unfortunately there was no sound.

"General, let's fight!" A partial general snapped.

"Retreat to Gangneung!" Chen Zhi shook his head, the matter has come to this, the Jiangdong Army has been prepared on the riverbank, and the Jiangxia Navy he brought is to ambush the Jiangdong Army, carrying strong bows and crossbows, but the other party is fully equipped, and the water battle is not Chen Zhi's forte, he suffers a lot in this kind of landing battle, unless he is willing to risk a huge number of casualties to rush up and fight with the other party, as long as he goes ashore, Chen Zhi is confident that he can fight a bloody way, but that is meaningless, and before he even rushes ashore, his soldiers and horses will collapse.

Although Chen Zhi was very angry about losing Jiang Xia and even losing Guan Ping's life, it did not overwhelm his reason, in this case, he couldn't fight hard.

The ships were on the riverbank, Tai Shici and other Jiangdong soldiers slowly retreated from Yan'an in the ridicule of the Jiangdong soldiers, and went up the river, preparing to recapture Jiangxia after landing in Jiangling.

It's just that before his fleet came out for too long, a fleet of ships in the oblique stab suddenly stopped on the river, and on a building boat, Lu Meng took Lu Xun to stand at the bow of the boat, looked at Chen Zhilang and smiled: "Chen Zhi, where are you going, why don't you hurry up and arrest it?" ”

Chen Zhi's face sank like water, if he was on land, the three Lu Meng added up to Chen Zhi was not afraid, but on the water, ten Chen Zhi may not have played Lu Meng, looking at Lu Meng, Chen Zhi said in a deep voice: "General Lu betrayed the alliance for no reason, what is the reason?" ”

"Hey." Lu Meng sneered and looked at Chen Zhi: "Today, Lu Mou came not for anything else, but to avenge the governor, you Chen Zhi is the first, I want to use the heads of your Jingzhou generals to pay tribute to the spirit of the governor in the sky!" ”

"It's ridiculous, Zhou Yu destroyed the alliance first and attacked our army privately, but he took the blame on himself, how can he blame us!?" Chen Zhi said coldly: "If you attack Jiangxia for no reason today, you will be ashamed of the people of the world." ”

"So what? Today, I, Lu Meng, are here for personal vendetta, soldiers, kill! Lu Meng snorted coldly, and with an order, hundreds of ships appeared, every five or ten in groups, interspersed towards Chen Zhi's side.

"Formation!" Chen Zhi saw that the other party was brazenly moving, so he could only helplessly face the battle, but the well-trained army on land was in the water at the moment, but it looked a little chaotic in the face of the impact of the enemy army, and even before the opponent's rush came over, he couldn't even complete a simple formation.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Clusters of arrows rain from all directions, the number of opponents is obviously not as large as Chen to this side, but it makes people feel that they are enemies on all sides, many soldiers panicked to meet the enemy, but they can't catch the shadow of the other party at all, just a moment, Chen Zhi's fleet was rushed to pieces, and it was impossible to organize an effective resistance, so he could only watch the other party continue to divide his soldiers and horses, and then eat away little by little, but he was helpless.
