As a result, Liu Cong has already recognized Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's motives, and knows that their most important purpose at the moment is to do everything possible to protect their sailor fleet, and they will definitely not easily let their sailors appear on the river.

Knowing this, Liu Cong ordered the warships to continue to move forward: "Go down the river, go to the mouth of Poyang Lake, and see how Zhou Yu is doing there, hahahaha." ”

Four warships pulled their sails and rode down the river with a clear breeze.

Liu Cong observed the garrison of Wu soldiers on both sides of the river, and talked about military affairs with Gan Ning, Liu Cong said: "It seems that Eastern Wu has decided to adopt a defensive strategy, as far as the current situation is concerned, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu can only do this, how timid, hahahaha." ”

Gan Ning listened, pandered to it, and thought: "After three battles, the Eastern Wu soldiers will be defeated,

Ding Feng Xu Sheng, before he could figure out what was going on, he was defeated by you and lost Wuchang City,

Sun Quan was chased to Niutou Mountain, stumbled and fell into the river, if it weren't for the fate of the heavens not to die, now he would have been washed into the East China Sea by the water of the river to feed fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs.

Zhou Yu is a famous general in the world, but he has repeatedly mistaken your strategy, 50,000 elite soldiers, and fled, if it weren't for the cover of the night, Zhou Yu would have lost his life.

After three battles, the three armies of Eastern Wu are up and down, who doesn't know your Liu Cong's ability,

I'm afraid that thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, even children don't dare to cry at night when they hear your name,

Sun Quan Zhou Yu does not try to preserve his strength to wait for the future, what other strategies to deal with. ”

Gan Ning thought of this and told Liu Cong what it meant, Liu Cong listened, laughed for a while, and said after laughing: "Xingba, you said, Sun Quan Zhou Yu is really not good, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, since you fail once, you must sum up your experience to fight again,

However, after the three battles, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu took a defensive position, hehe, and saved the troops.

This is really not a good move, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are waiting for death. ”

With that, the warship came to the mouth of Poyang Lake,

Gan Ning got up and pointed to the river that came from the south and said: "Look, my lord, this is the mouth of Poyang Lake, the Ganshui flows from the south, passes through Poyang Lake, and flows into the river from here. ”

Liu Cong had already stood up at this time, holding the side of the boat with both hands, looking at the water intently, and did not respond.

He was on patrol, trying to find out where the Dongwu sailors were hiding.

However, I saw that the Poyang Lake and the water surface of the river in the distance were connected together, and the water and sky were already in front of me.

If it weren't for the faint lakeside mountain peaks in the distance, it would really be impossible to tell whether it was heaven or earth.

Liu Cong looked at it for a while, a little confused, and asked Gan Ning: "Why can't you see the traces of the Dongwu sailors?" ”

Gan Ning said with a smile: "The lord is really interesting, he is teasing the last general, you should know, 800 miles of Dongting and 900 miles of Poyang, although Poyang is not as big as Dongting Lake, but people are not willing to underestimate Poyang Lake,

Such a large water surface hides a team of sailors in Dongwu, almost like a rabbit hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

Your lord, can you see it at a glance? ”

When Liu Cong heard this, he laughed and nodded: "Yes, otherwise, Zhou Yu would not be so confident." ”

While speaking, the fleet approached the mouth of Poyang Lake, Gan Ning's eyes were sharp, and he saw the reeds and shrubs in the shallow water on both sides of the lake mouth moving wildly, and hurriedly reminded Liu Cong: "Lord, look, look, come out, wait a while, wait a while, they will come out." ”

As Gan Ning spoke, he ordered: "Stop the boat, stop the boat in the same place." ”

Only a creaking sound was heard, and the captains stabilized the warship,

When Liu Cong Ganning took a look, he saw that more than a dozen Dongwu warships had already sailed out on both sides of the mouth of Poyang Lake, the ships were not big, they were all small sailboats, but the action was very agile, more than a dozen ships pulled up their sails, cruising back and forth at the mouth of the lake, as if it was a dozen jackals, only sniffing and looking for the smell in the distance, observing, but they did not dare to move this way.

After waiting for a while, he saw that the dozen or so warships of Dongwu had been looking for them like this, and Gan Ning was puzzled, feeling that there must be some mechanism hidden between the mouth of the lake and the river, otherwise, more than a dozen warships of Dongwu would never be so confident and bold to cruise under the noses of Jingzhou warships.

So, Gan Ning told Liu Cong about this idea,

Liu Cong also felt strange: "More than a dozen grasshopper boats are so rampant, and they don't put Jingzhou warships in their eyes at all, what do you mean, is this a lure to the enemy." ”

Gan Ning shook his head with a smile, and asked: "It seems that he is supervising us, not like luring the enemy,

Otherwise, my lord, I will order the 21st warship of Jingshi to move forward slowly, go over and make an impact, and see how these Dongwu warships react. ”

Liu Cong agreed,

Gan Ning held the command flag in his hand and waved it three times, and the 21st warship of Jingshi bypassed his three warships and slowly sailed towards the water surface of Poyang Lake.

The warships slowly sailed towards the mouth of Poyang Lake, slowly approaching the mouth of the lake, and at this time, more than a dozen Dongwu warships in Poyang Lake stopped and searched back and forth, all of which sailed towards the 21st warship of Jingshi.

Liu Cong Ganning was surprised, almost couldn't believe it, so he stared at the two warships,

I saw that the Dongwu warship came forward for a certain distance, and then stopped, and the sailors on the ship all rushed to the deck, watching Jingshi No. 21 sail forward,

When Gan Ning saw it, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly raised the flag, to order the 21st retreat of Jingshi,

However, when it was late, I only heard a clattering sound, and the 21st warship of the Jing Division could not move, and the hull seemed to be grounded, and began to tilt to the side.

Gan Ning saw it and said regretfully: "I'm afraid there is some mystery, in the end, there must be something under this water surface, otherwise, the water level here is very deep, and Jingshi No. 21 will not run aground here." ”

At this time, more than 200 Jingzhou sailors on the 21st of Jingshi rushed out of the cabin in panic and came to the side of the ship and shouted.

Liu Cong Ganning found that if the 21st warship of the Jing Division continued to tilt, these sailors would have to jump into the river.

Fortunately, the ship tilted a little and could no longer hold still.

The Wu soldiers on more than a dozen warships in Dongwu over there had already bent their bows and arrows, ready to clean up the Jingzhou sailors who had fallen into the water, and now the Jingshi No. 21 warship did not overturn, and these Dongwu sailors stood on their own warships with a little disappointment, pointing and saying,

At this time, the sun was already in the west, and it seemed that it was about to close to the top of the mountain on the north bank of the river, so Gan Ning asked Liu Cong: "My lord, the No. 21 warship of Jingshi is stranded, and the last general requests that we take this warship and tow it out in the past." ”

Liu Cong also seemed to understand something at this time, so he ordered Gan Ning to go over and drag, 198
