After Cai Mao received Liu Biao's general order, he did not delay for too long, and after several days of preparation, the 100,000 army had already set off from Xiangyang City to Jiangxia.

It's summer now, and the weather has turned hot, but today there is a gentle breeze, which is very refreshing to blow on the body, Cai Mao rode a horse and walked among the Chinese army in the entire team, but there was no joy on his face, but frowned.

"General, we're going to help Jiangxia, aren't you happy?" Seeing Cai Mao's bad face, Zhang Yun, the deputy general on the side, asked.

"That's not it, I'm just thinking about how to deal with that Lu Xuantong after we get to Jiangxia!" Cai Mao said softly.

"Didn't Mr. Zirou and Mr. Xenodu have a strategy before leaving? Lu Xuantong is a famous general in the world, and it is better for our soldiers to have an advantage in fighting a water war with Lu Xuantong. Zhang Yundao.

"That's right, but there is no vanity under the fame, so Lu Xuantong has grown to this point in just a few years from a humble family, how can he be conclusive because he may not be good at water warfare." Cai Mao sighed. As the head of the Cai family, one of the two wealthy families in Jingzhou, his insight is obviously better than that of ordinary people, but it is precisely because of this that he deeply knows what kind of ability the enemy in Jiangdong has to support under the series of brilliant achievements, and it is no exaggeration to say that this person's name already represents strength to some extent.

"General, don't raise the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, then Lu Xuantong is also a human being, what's the big deal, not to mention that we have Mr. Heterodu as a military advisor on this trip, and we are not afraid of that Lu Xuantong!" Zhang Yun pursed his lips, very unimpressed by Cai Mao's pessimistic thoughts.

"It's right to be cautious, that Lu Xuantong is not only famous, but also has countless capable people, and he is indeed my immortal enemy in Jingzhou!" Wen Ping, who had been silent on the side, spoke at this time.

Cai Mao smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but suddenly a small horse colonel returned from the front, and reported: "Report to the general, there is someone in front who is blocking our way!" ”

"Oh? Who is so bold as to stop our army? Zhang Yun sighed lightly.

"That man said his name was Sima Hui, and he wanted to invite the general to come over!" The colonel whispered.

"Mr. Water Mirror?" Several people glanced at each other, but they felt a little incredible.

Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui is their first-class hermit in Jingzhou, it is said that he is not only a pedantic celestial, but also familiar with the I Ching gossip, Qimen Dunjia and other stunts, Jingzhou Mu's Liu Biao has failed to invite him many times, how can he stop their army this time?

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Hearing the title of this famous celebrity, Cai Mao and the others did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly dismounted and walked forward.

A few people walked forward, and found a young and middle-aged Confucian scholar and two young men dressed as scholars standing in the middle of the road, looking extremely high-minded.

"Sure enough, it's Mr. Water Mirror!" After Cai Mao saw the Confucian student, her face was happy, and she hurriedly approached, bowed and said, "Mr. Shuijing, don't come to harm?" Do you not know what is stopping my army in its way? ”

"The head of the Cai family is going to help Jiangxia?" Sima Hui smiled at Cai Mao and spoke. Although he is a strange person, no matter how strange he is, he also has to be in line with society, and Sima Hui is obviously no stranger to the head of the Cai family, one of the two wealthy families in Jingzhou.

"Exactly, Lu An's thieves invaded my border, and my lord Liu Biao specially ordered me to lead an army of 100,000 to the rescue!" Cai Mao said very respectfully. In this year, celebrities are very popular, although Cai Mao can throw Sima Hui a few streets in terms of wealth and status, but for this extraordinary celebrity, Cai Mao can't afford to put on the slightest shelf.

"That's right, I'm here this time to let you take my two students to the battlefield to see it!" Sima Hui said, and took a slight step back, completely revealing the figures of the two teenagers standing behind him.

These two young people look very distinctive, one is handsome and elegant, the other is ugly, standing together, there is a strong sense of contrast between the swan and a toad, which leaves a deep impression.

"This?" Cai Mao withdrew her gaze from the two of them and hesitated a little. He didn't go here to play, but to fight against the enemy, how could he bring two teenagers who hadn't done the crown salute yet, if it was an ordinary teenager, but these two were still Mr. Shuijing's protégés, if something happened to him, his face would be lost, although this would not cause him any substantial loss, but the reputation was not good.

"The two of them are the most proud disciples under me, and they have even surpassed me in all aspects, I believe they can bring you a lot of help to the Cai family master." Sima Hui smiled.

"But they haven't done the crown salute yet, they're too young!" Cai Mao shook her head and said. Regarding what Sima Hui said that his two apprentices had surpassed him, Cai Mao only regarded Sima Hui as putting gold on his disciple's face, and did not take it seriously.

"General Cai's words are wrong, age is not the standard for measuring a person, don't you see that Lu Xuantong was also famous in the Tiger Prison Pass when he was a teenager, who would have thought that a mere teenager could break Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of elite horses with 5,000 soldiers and horses?" Before Sima Hui could reply, the ugly-looking young man beside him opened his mouth to defend himself.

"Don't worry, the head of the Cai family, this trip is to let the two of them have a good experience, if they have an accident, I will definitely not blame you!" Sima Hui seemed to see Cai Mao's thoughts, and also spoke.

"Well, then!" Since Sima Hui had put it bluntly, Cai Mao naturally had no reason to refuse, so he had to nod and say.

"Excuse me, General!" Seeing Cai Mao nodded, the other imposing young man saluted him and said very steadily.

"Since the two of you are the tall feet of Mr. Shuijing, I believe that they must be resourceful, and I am looking forward to your performance!" Cai Mao nodded to the two teenagers, with a bit of politeness.

"General Cai, rest assured, we will naturally do our best!" The two teenagers glanced at each other and said in unison.

"Then so-and-so will retire!" Seeing that Cai Mao had accepted two of his own disciples, Sima Hui showed a slight smile on his face, said hello to Cai Mao and the others, and turned around to say goodbye. Before leaving, he took one last look at his two most outstanding disciples, but his heart was a little complicated, according to his original intention, in fact, the two disciples should not be out at this time, or should not challenge the extremely powerful Jiangdong Lord right now, but since they themselves have this will, then he is willing to use his own connections to help them, if it succeeds, then the reputation of his two disciples will probably resound throughout the land of Shenzhou in a short period of time.

Lu An led his 80,000 army to walk on the water for more than ten days, and then joined the 80,000 army of Wei Yan in Jingnan, and the two armies cooperated with a total of 160,000 to go straight to the defense line of Jiangxia City.

However, Jiangxia is the most important line of defense in Jingbei, Liu Biao will naturally not just sit idly by, in addition to Jiangxia's 50,000 defenders defending the city, he has already sent 100,000 reinforcements to build a water village by the river, obviously prepared.

Since there was a defense on the other side, Lu An naturally couldn't rush the army forward in front of Jiangxia in one go, and his ship stopped when it approached the opposite water village, and found a land mouth in Jiangxia and began to set up camp, preparing to settle down first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiangxia has 50,000 defenders, and Liu Biao has sent 100,000 reinforcements to camp near the riverside, a total of 150,000 troops, we don't have any advantage in terms of troops, do you have any strategy?" After everything was ready, Lu An asked the generals to come to discuss some strategies.

"Since the enemy has come to reinforce the army, it is impossible for us to attack Jiangxia directly, the first and most important thing is to destroy the opponent's 100,000 army first, otherwise they will communicate with each other on both sides, and it is possible to flank our army at any time!" Guo Jia stood up and spoke.

"Well, in other words, I have to fight a large-scale water battle with Liu Biao before attacking Jiangxia?" Lu An nodded and said softly.

"But it's unavoidable." Guo Jiadao.

"Hehe, since it's a water war, I want to ask the lord for the position of a pioneer officer first, when it comes to water war, I dare to call it second, no one dares to call it first." Hearing that he was going to dry on the water, Gan Ning became excited and took the initiative to ask.

"Although General Gan is brave, General Gan is the first general under the command of the lord, and being a pioneer is inevitably a bit of a loss of identity, Zhou Youping is not talented, I am willing to be a pioneer!" Zhou Tai also jumped out and bowed down.

"There is no need for General Zhou to make a move, a certain Ling Cao also has some confidence in surface combat, and he is just the vanguard of a certain school captain!"

"I want to try it too!"

When it comes to water warfare, a cadre of generals under Lu An's command who were born as water thieves rushed out, wanting to take the lead in what they are good at and make the first feat.

"Hehe, it's rare that all of you have such a courageous heart, I am very relieved!" Lu An looked at all this in front of him, and couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face, it is a good thing to be motivated, especially these generals who are not low-status, their fighting spirit can greatly improve the morale of the soldiers in battle.

"Since you are all full of confidence, then tomorrow we will open the other party's camp with a large army, and you will all be the vanguard of the front army, so you must first defeat the enemy's spirit in this battle!" After thinking about it slightly, Lu An decided to start testing the water tomorrow, although he is not very good at the arrangement of water battles, but with so many generals in water warfare, he should be able to make up for this weakness.
