At the end of 199 AD, Liu Bei escaped from Xuchang under the pretext of attacking Yuan Shu, and in January 200, he attacked and killed Cao Cao's Xuzhou Taishou Chariot and regained Xuzhou; In March 200, Yuan Shao gathered 300,000 troops in Guandu, vowing to fight to the death in Cao Cao, but Cao Cao saw through this little friend who was still staying with him to rob the bride.

However, no matter how much Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao tossed in the north, they couldn't bring Zhang Quan, who occupied the south of the Yangtze River, here, Zhang Quan asked Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and others to watch the situation in the north like a play, and they didn't have to care.

It is said that after Liu Biao of Xiangyang heard that his four counties in the south of the Yangtze River were all occupied by Zhang Xiu, he gasped, the capillaries in the lobes of his lungs ruptured, and a mouthful of hot blood blocked his throat, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Your body is important, why are you not calm the older you get." Mrs. Cai reprimanded Liu Biaodao.

"It's not that I'm not calm, it's that Zhang Xiu's thief is too much of a thing. A few years ago, I saw that their Zhang family (Zhang Xiu and his uncle Zhang Ji) had nowhere to go because Cao Cao had driven them away, so I lent him Nanyang County to live in them. Now he didn't resist Cao Cao for me, but ran behind me and attacked my four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, telling me how to swallow this breath. Liu Biao said bitterly, as if the four counties in Jiangnan were really his.

"Don't be angry, the four counties in Jiangnan are not under your control." Mrs. Cai said, "Besides, don't you still have a very powerful nephew in Gangneung?" If you tell him to level Jiangnan, you won't have it. ”

"Yes. Jiangnan Xinjing is fighting for arms, but there will be fewer soldiers to fight (no 100 people died in the four counties of Jiangnan); Zhang Xiu's outsiders occupied Jiangnan, and the local people rejected him; At this time, Liu Pan led the elite soldiers and horses to attack under the banner of my Jingzhou Mu, which must be easy. Even the four counties in Jiangnan are under my control. Liu Biao thought that Zhang Xiu's attack on Jiangnan this time could make the four counties of Jiangnan really come into his hands, and the joy that he tried to hide was also revealed from his red face.

"Someone came, go and inform Liu Pan in Jiangling, and tell him to reorganize his soldiers and horses and take the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River. And so on, in the transfer of 3,000 soldiers, horses, armor, grain and grass from Xiangyang and Jiangxia to Liu Pan's command. ”

Liu Pan, 33 years old, Liu Biao's nephew, looks like a reckless hero, brave by nature, but his martial arts are really not very good, he is considered second-rate, similar to Liao Hua, and his IQ is not very good, so he can barely lead his troops to fight.

It is said that when Liu Pan received Liu Biao's order to march into the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the bank of the Yangtze River and looked to the southeast, only to find that the flag on the patrol boat of the other party, which appeared faintly from time to time, had changed, from "Jin" to "Zhang" and "Zhao". This is not to say that Liu Pan is not doing his job, but he is too serious, in recent years, he has thought of fighting the world, how can there be no cavalry? So he raised horses and bought horses, and last year he had collected more than 10,000 horses, and now he was sparing no effort to train cavalry, completely unaware that the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River had been unified.

"Okay, just in time to make my cavalry famous." Liu Pan stood on the riverside and glanced at the Jiangnan, his eyes enveloping the emerald Jiangnan, and the bold voice spread on the surface of the river, not stopping for a long time.

It is the spring of March, the river gradually turns from light white to emerald green, and the cool spring breeze is blowing, like the care of the mother, like the warm sunshine. Liu Pan threw 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 military horses and nearly 100 warships down the river, although it was smooth the water, but against the wind. The Yangtze River flowed from Jiangling (present-day Yichang) to Wuling (present-day the south bank of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou), and the narrow river channel gradually widened, and the rapids became calm.

When Liu Pan arrived at the upper reaches of the Gong'an Port in Wuling a day later, he looked at the Gong'an Port, and his restless mood in the slow march instantly became comfortable.

"Hahaha, boys, do you think they call them a water army?" Liu Pan looked up to the sky and smiled.

When the soldiers on the ship heard this, they all went to the edge of the boat and looked downstream, only to see a general wearing white armor and helmets with white fluff fluttering in the wind leading the Wuling soldiers to line up on the river bank, and the military appearance was neat and refreshing. The public security harbor is full of small sailboats that can only accommodate one person, and a sailor on each small sailboat swings the sails with the spring breeze.

"Probably because of the general's might, those generals who controlled the big ship fled in their boats." Liu Pan's personal soldiers complimented.

"Haha, what you said is exactly what I want." Then Liu Pan said to the soldiers who were watching the Wuling Navy around him: "You stand back and set up a formation, and let General Ben come to persuade the Wuling generals to surrender, and if you can't go to war again." ”

"Wuling's white-clothed young general, your navy has run out, what kind of water battle are you fighting. Surrender the city quickly, this general is in charge, spare you from death. Liu Pan's shout was loud and heavy, and the last word "death" echoed on the river.

"If you don't fight, you don't have to say, if you want to fight, you just have to attack." Although Zhao Yun is 33 years old, he has a strong body, a handsome face, and looks very young.

"Okay." Liu Pan waved his hand, "Boys, all the ships are at full speed and directly destroy the public security port." ”

The Wuling sailors standing on the small sailing boat in the public security harbor looked at the nearly 100 warships rushing towards them, as if nearly 100 small mountains were pressing down the top of the river, and they couldn't help but feel a little afraid in their hearts.

At this time, the soldiers on the high ground on the shore took out rockets one after another under Zhao Yun's order, ignited them, and launched them along the southeast wind, and the flaming arrow rain crossed the long parabola in the sky, crossed Liu Panjun's vanguard ship, and crashed into the ships in the middle of the fleet. Some rockets were shot into the ship equipped with the war horse, the war horse let out a violent roar after encountering the fire, and scurried around in panic, the ship instantly shook and undulated, lost control, and the ships behind rushed forward and collided with the ship, hitting a huge splash and hitting the surrounding ships, and the two ships were in the center of the flotilla that was impacting, and the flotilla was instantly chaotic.

"Brothers, light the fire, rush." The captain of the Wuling sailors standing on the sailboat issued an order, took the lead in igniting the sailboat that had been poured with fire oil, drove the sailboat with fire and blazing fire and galloped up the southeast wind, and when he was about to touch Liu Pan's big ship, he turned down the river, and dived and swam to the river bank in the burning and burning firelight, in the still relatively cool spring water.

Under the impact of hundreds of ignited sailboats, Liu Panjun's forward ships were all set on fire. The flagship that Liu Pan was riding on had received special care from the Wuling Sailing Ship, and now it was completely like a fireship. Liu Pan shouted to stop the panicked soldiers:

"Front soldiers, leave the boat alone, jump off the boat with me and fight ashore."
