Zhou Yu did win, and the fruits of the victory were quite rich, not only defeated Cai Mao's navy, but also captured about 200 large and small warships.

Zhou Yu's ambition did not stop there, after the victory of the navy, Zhou Yu did not withdraw his troops, but took advantage of the momentum of victory to order the navy to pursue all the way to the north bank, trying to rush to the north bank in one fell swoop with strong morale, and crush together with Cao Ying's main infantry army.

However, Cao Ying is not so easy to deal with, his importance to Cai Mao on the surface does not mean that he is 100% at ease in his heart, but in fact, none of the famous generals under his command are proficient in water warfare, so he has to use this person.

Facts have proved that Cai Mao really disappointed him, not only lost the water battle, but also fled all the way to the north bank, and there was a great tendency to take the Wu army ashore together.

Cao Ying understood that if tens of thousands of sailors were defeated and came ashore, they would definitely push and trample the infantry troops on the shore, or they would not be able to stop it, and the 60,000 or 70,000 troops would squeeze themselves, and then be driven by the Wu people from behind, and the general trend would be gone.

At the critical moment, Cao Ying immediately made a decision, and immediately shouted: "Where is Zidan, hurry, order all the crossbowmen to go into battle and release arrows, and we must prevent the Wu people from landing on the shore." ”

Cao Zhen beside him was shocked: "Prime Minister, do you really want to release arrows, there are still soldiers of our navy on the river, and if you release arrows like this, won't you hurt your own people." ”

Cao Ying shouted in a deep voice: "Cai Mao, this waste, he is going to destroy the whole army of Lonely, and it is not a pity to sacrifice him, don't care so much, give me arrows, as many arrows as you want." ”

Cao Ying was ruthless, Cao Zhen hurried away, took four or five thousand crossbowmen, and bombarded the Wu people by the river, and in just a short time, he shot fifty or sixty thousand arrows.

Naturally, many of these covered arrows were suffered by Cai Mao's army, and countless people were killed and wounded. However, under such a dense arrow attack, the damage of the Wu army was not small, Zhou Yu saw that Cao Ying had already prepared, and knew that it would be difficult to completely defeat the Cao army in this battle, so he immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to withdraw to the south bank.

Cao Ying, who was on the high ground on the north bank, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the Wu people retreating. Looking at the water army with heavy losses, he said hatefully: "Cai Mao, this waste, almost missed the big thing of Lone!" ”

In anger, Cai Mao came in embarrassment, and when he saw Cao Ying, he fell to the ground and cried: "Mao returned defeated, betrayed the trust of the prime minister, please punish the prime minister." ”

Cai Mao sweated left and right, but Cao Ying suddenly laughed, helped Cai Mao up, and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, what a way." Let's camp in Wulin first, and after the navy army rests and trains, let's fight with Zhou Yu. ”

Here, when Cao Ying cleaned up the defeated troops and set up camp on the ground of Wulin on the north bank, a celebration banquet had been set up in Zhou Yu's camp here.

Prior to this, Liu Bei witnessed a hearty victory, at this moment of Zhou Yu's command ability, as well as Wu Jun's belief in victory, is a hundred reassuring, as soon as the battle is over, Kong Ming hurriedly turned back to Fankou, and Zhang Fei led a total of 2,000 soldiers and horses to Chibi to help in the battle.

Maybe it was because of happiness, or in order to show off in front of Liu Bei, at the celebration banquet that night, Zhou Yu personally sent someone to invite Liu Bei, and Liu Bei gladly accepted the invitation.

The banquet in the army is different from the banquet of officialdom, this group of generals of Eastern Wu is mostly rough and arrogant, after Zhou Yu gave a celebratory speech, a group of fierce generals drank unbridledly.

Na Gan Ning drank to the wine Xing, only to feel feverish, Suo surname took off his armor, ** half of his arm, carrying the wine jar to find Zhou Yu, pulling Zhou Yu's arm with one hand, holding the wine jar with the other hand and shouting: "Dadu Governor, you have commanded this battle so well, my Gan Ning is obedient, I will do this altar with you." ”

Zhou Yu didn't think it was strange, and said with a smile: "Xingba is the first soldier in this battle, which can be regarded as letting Zhou Yu see what it means to regard death as home, okay, let's do this altar." ”

Don't look at Zhou Yuping's elegance, at this time, he mixed up with these generals, but he also put down his body, and immediately raised a jar of wine, raised his head and poured it.

When the generals below saw Zhou Yu's arrogance, they all shouted: "Most of the governors have a good amount of wine, they are a man!" ”

Liu Bei, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "This Zhou Yu used to be arrogant as a literati, but now he is fighting so hotly with such a rude general, this person's surname is really strange." ”

When he was sighing, Zhou Yu held a wine glass and shook it over, Liu Bei got up and raised his glass first, and said: "The governor fought a wonderful battle, and he won the wonder of the water war, which really made Bei insightful, and I am here to congratulate the governor on his fame." ”

Liu Bei did it first as a respect, Zhou Yu drank this cup with him, but said with a smile: "Liu Yuanjun is very tight with Yu's flagship today, the so-called big tree is good to enjoy the shade, so you don't want to be frightened." ”

Zhou Yu may have been a little drunk, and the irony in the next few words was too obvious, not only Liu Bei's face changed obviously when he heard this, but even Fang Shao couldn't help frowning secretly.

Liu Bei also accepted the smile, and said lightly: "Today's battle is indeed exciting, but I was prepared to see that the governor was about to rush to the north bank, but why did he retreat back halfway, could it be that he was frightened by the rain of arrows from Cao Jun." ”

Liu Bei finally made a slight retort in his words, but his strength was obviously not enough, Zhou Yu pursed the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, and said: "That's because in the battle on the river, almost all the arrows have been consumed, and there is no bow and crossbow as cover, how can you rush ashore." Yu heard that Jun has been in Fancheng for many years and has hoarded countless weapons, and since the two of us are an alliance, why don't you borrow tens of thousands of arrows from Yu, so you can also calculate your strength. ”

Zhou Yu's words were clearly embarrassing to Liu Bei again, Liu Bei's little military supply was almost lost in Changbanpo, and now it is a poor jingle ring, not to mention tens of thousands of arrows, even paying his subordinates is a problem, but now if he truthfully explains to Zhou Yu, wouldn't it be self-deprecating.

Liu Bei was quite embarrassed for a while, and Zhou Yu's aggressiveness angered Fang Shao, and he could be regarded as having endured it long enough, thinking that if he suffered this anger today, if he swallowed his anger again, how would Liu Bei and him mix in the Wu camp in the future.

Fang Shao's mind was spinning rapidly, and suddenly he had a bold idea, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, but he laughed and said: "Isn't it just tens of thousands of arrows, just get them for the governor, but Fankou is far from here, and I hope that the governor will allocate more than a dozen boats to Shao, and in a few days, Shao will carry the arrows." ”

When Liu Bei heard Fang Shao's words, his heart was cold again: "I didn't have more than 10,000 arrows in Fankou so easily, how can I easily give them to Zhou Yu, besides, just this little arrow, can I show Zhou Yu my poor and sour jokes, is this kid also drunk too much!" ”

When Liu Bei was about to intercept Fang Shao's boasted Haikou, Zhou Yu didn't give him a chance at all, put the wine jar on the table, and said very simply: "Okay, Liu Yuanjun is generous enough, so it's decided!" ”
