Chapter 259: I'm going to prove myself

Xu Shu was hinting to Liu Feng that he should not agree to Gan Ning's initiative to ask for battle.

Obviously, Xu Shu does not trust this "Jinfan thief".

It's no wonder that Gan Ning has done a lot of murder and arson in Jingzhou, there are many people who have offended, and his reputation is also very stinky.

Therefore, even if Xu Shu came up with this divisive plan for Liu Feng, he himself did not have much good impression of this "bandit" surnamed Dongwu general.

Regarding Xu Shu's hint, Liu Feng pretended not to see it, and said angrily: "Okay, then I will allocate 5,000 soldiers and horses and 30 warships, and make you the vanguard and take the land mouth directly." โ€

"Whoa!"

Gan Ning's blood was agitated, and he took his life proudly.

At that moment, Gan Ning received the talisman paid by Liu Feng, led 800 personal soldiers from his headquarters, and the newly allocated 5,000 Jingzhou sailors, and set sail towards the landing port with a vanguard formation.

Gan Ning went, Xu Shu hurriedly frowned and said, "Lord, I just hinted at it, why did you turn a blind eye." โ€

Liu Feng smiled slightly, and said confidently: "I know that Gan Ning has a bad reputation in Jingzhou, but this time I believe that he is definitely sincere." โ€

"Why is the lord so confident?" Xu Shu looked suspicious.

Liu Feng stood on the deck with his hands up, looked at the east with his head held high, and sneered: "At the cost of burning all the grain and grass, acting such a trick, if it was Zhou Lang, he might be able to do it." As for that Sun Yu, I don't believe he has the guts. โ€

In Liu Feng's view, the Sun family, except for Sun Jian and Sun Ce, who have the spirit of a king, are all self-defending thieves.

If Gan Ning didn't burn grain and grass to surrender, Liu Feng might still be wary, but it was precisely because he burned grain and grass that Liu Feng was sure that his surrender was true.

Liu Feng's sarcastic words suddenly made Xu Shu come to his senses.

At this time, Xu Shu didn't say much, he looked at the young male lord in front of him, and was sincerely impressed by his incredible ability to recognize people.

In a trance, Xu Shu suddenly had a strong doubt in his heart: Could it be that I really chose the wrong person to assist, is the person in front of me the one who can really end this troubled world?

When he was thinking, hundreds of rapids, thousands of sails were spreading, and the mighty fleet was surging towards the direction of Chibi.

#####ๆทฎๅ—, Chaohu.

Legend has it that in the distant mythological era, this vast lake did not exist, but a hilly and undulating hill land called Guchaozhou.

The state is barren and has no lakes and dams, rivers and ditches to divert water for irrigation, and farmers who have cultivated it for generations have suffered from drought for many years.

However, a sudden heavy rain flooded the entire Chaozhou, forming a large lake with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Although the flood drowned many local people, those who survived no longer had to worry about the drought and lived a smooth life ever since.

Chaohu Lake, hence the name.

At this moment, a great battle that will decide the fate of many people is about to be staged on the surface of this endless lake.

The sky was overcast like a ghostly face, hideous and black.

Between the rolling clouds, there seemed to be thousands of wild beasts roaring.

Click~~ A thunderbolt broke through the clouds, and the incandescent electric light was like a sharp claw, easily tearing through the drowsy world.

Under the electric light, on the endless lake, two fleets of unprecedented scale were slowly sailing towards each other.

It was the Huainan Naval Division commanded by Zhou Yu, and the Yangtze River Naval Division commanded by Lu Meng, a total of about 1,000 warships, wanting to fight to the death on this Chaohu Lake.

Since the Battle of Chibi, the naval army of Eastern Wu has been constantly expanding, and by the time Zhou Yu captured Xuzhou, Eastern Wu had a huge fleet of more than 1,500 ships.

Among them, more than 5,000 warships were placed on the Huai River line, more than 300 were deployed in Jiangxia, and the remaining 700 or so were distributed in various military ports on the Yangtze River from Jiangxia to Jianye.

After hearing of Zhou Yu's rebellion, Sun Quan quickly assembled nearly 500 warships on the Yangtze River line, and led 40,000 sailors to enter Chaohu Lake from the mouth of the river, preparing to attack Hefei and quell Zhou Yu's rebellion.

On the Zhou Yu side, he originally had 70,000 elite Wu troops, but because he had to guard against the Cao army on the front line of Qingyan, 30,000 people had to stay in Xuzhou, and about 10,000 soldiers and horses guarded the key points of the two Huai that had not been established for a long time.

Therefore, there were only about 30,000 soldiers and horses used to deal with Sun Quan's conquest.

Although he was inferior in terms of troops, Zhou Yu did not intend to take a defensive position at all, but personally led 30,000 elites to Chaohu Lake with 500 warships, and took the initiative to seek a decisive battle with Sun Quan's main force.

Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't afford to delay, so only by quickly destroying Sun Quan, seizing control of the entire Yangzhou, and ending the split state of Eastern Wu, could he avoid being robbed by the surrounding enemies.

On the huge ship, Lu Meng stood with his sword in his hand, and his eyebrows showed unprecedented excitement.

So far, he has finally gained the status of being on an equal footing with Zhou Yu and Lu Su, although the way he got it was a bit dramatic, but he didn't care at all.

I, Lu Meng, are not like you Zhou Lang or Lu Su, I am in a well-dressed family, and I have been a good teacher since I was a child.

I, Lu Meng, came from a humble background, and once upon a time, I couldn't read a few big characters.

You, Zhou Yu, were famous before you became a leader, and you could easily occupy a high position.

As for me, although I have immortal talent, I can only start from a pawn with difficulty, if I hadn't played a little clever back then, maybe Wu Hou would never have noticed me as a lowly martial artist for the rest of his life.

But now, I am the most trusted person of Wu Hou, and all the people of Eastern Wu firmly believe that only I am your opponent Zhou Yu.

I've waited too long for this day.

The tide of thought is rolling, and the excited expression is fully displayed.

Clenching his fists, he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "Zhou Yu, in today's battle, I want to prove to the world that I, Lu Meng, am the first general of Eastern Wu." You will be my stepping stone to Megatron! โ€

#######้ฃŽๅนๆŠš็€้ฌ“ไธไนฑ่ˆž, that handsome face is as calm as a frozen lake.

Feeling a hint of coolness on his forehead, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand that was as white as jade, and soon, his palm was full of a little bit of wet rain.

He raised his head and looked far away, and a few miles away, the familiar flags and familiar warships gradually came into view.

Zhou Yu seemed to be able to feel that the oncoming wind was full of a thick murderous aura.

"Lu Ziming, you must have waited for a long time for this day."

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a feeling of discomfort in his chest, and Zhou Yu hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed dryly.

Ling Tong beside him hurriedly said: "Governor, it's windy here, why don't you go back to the cabin." โ€

Zhou Yu waved his hand slightly, indicating that he was fine, but the sad appearance of coughing made the most trusted lover around him feel the same discomfort.

After a while, Zhou Yu regained his strength, raised his head, and the raindrops were already falling dripping.

Ling Tongyi waved his hand, and hurriedly came up with an umbrella left and right, wanting to cover Zhou Yu from the rain.

Zhou Yu pushed the umbrella cover away.

Ling Tongyi was stunned and hurriedly said: "Dudu, your health is already not good, if you are exposed to the rain, it will not be good." โ€

Zhou Yu said lightly: "The soldiers of the three armies are all fighting in the rain, how can I shelter from the wind and rain alone, if I want to be drenched in the rain, I will be drenched with the soldiers." โ€

Zhou Yu's words greatly moved the soldiers on the left and right.

At this time, he walked up to the highest deck, and his handsome figure stood tall.

When the officers and men of the three armies saw the figure of their commander-in-chief, bearing the blow of the heavy rain like themselves, the soldiers were moved, their blood boiled, and the shouts of "long live" rose like a tide, spreading throughout the whole army from near and far.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and in an instant, Zhou Yu was soaked.

The rain soaked, coupled with the cold wind blowing, the chill was extremely uncomfortable.

Despite this, Zhou Yu stood still and stood proudly in the heavy rain.

The enemy ships were getting closer and closer, and more than a thousand warships, each in a cone-shaped formation, like two huge spears, were shooting at each other against each other on the rippling surface of the lake.

Zhou Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly drew his sword, Han Feng pointed directly at the enemy formation, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" โ€

The thunderous drums of war suddenly sounded, the flag waved in the wind and rain, and countless warships, fighting ships, and building ships burst out and rushed towards the enemy formation.

Success or failure, here is a fight.

#####ๆฟก้กปๅฃ.

Sun Quan stood on the dock wall, holding a pergola with his hands, and looked anxiously at the direction of Chaohu Lake.

The mouth of the water is dozens of miles away from Chaohu Lake, and he can't see anything when he stands here, but every once in a while, Sun Quan can't help but look around, as if he can see the battle going on.

There was a deep panic in Sun Quan's heart, because he knew very well that if he lost this battle, he would lose everything.

If it were possible, Sun Quan would rather lead his army to fight Zhou Yu and slaughter that shameless traitor with his own hands.

But Sun Quan didn't, he still had self-knowledge, he knew very well that playing with power was his strength, and if it was about fighting, the ten of them together would not be Zhou Yu's opponent.

In other words, in the entire Eastern Wu, no one is Zhou Yu's opponent.

Although veterans like Han Dang are loyal and have prestige, loyalty and prestige are not directly proportional to their ability to fight.

As for Chen Wu and Dong Xi and other generals, although they are brave and good at fighting, they are only worthy of being generals of the first army.

After all the calculations, Sun Quan could only pin his hopes on Lu Meng, who had the least seniority.

This young general who was raised by himself, Sun Quan originally planned to train him and use it to replace Zhou Yu and Lu Su in the future, but now, Sun Quan can only let him take on this big task in advance.

To be honest, although he admired Lu Meng very much, he was not completely sure whether he could defeat Zhou Yu.

Sun Quan had no choice.

"Lu Ziming, the rise and fall of my Sun clan is all in your hands, you must not let me down."

Sun Quan tried his best to maintain his calmness, but in his heart, he was praying anxiously.

It rises and falls, and the rain rises and falls.

On this day, Sun Quan endured the torture of the year.

In the evening, he finally saw a leaf walking from the north.
