Chapter 056: Meeting on a Narrow Road

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and Lang is full of heroes. Since ancient times, the rolling Yangtze River has been the most inspiring of people's feelings of heroism. As the mother river of the Chinese nation, the Yangtze River has carried too many historical vicissitudes and witnessed the prosperity of too many dynasties. Countless wars have taken place on the Yangtze River, and countless heroic epics have been staged on the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is a river that carries the dreams of countless heroes and heroes.

In the early morning, the sun gradually rose, and the misty surface of the Yangtze River gradually became clear. More than a dozen warships tracing the river gradually dispersed the fog on the river in the early morning, and under the illumination of the sun, a large flag fluttered in the wind on the flagpole of the battleship several feet high, embroidered with a big black character "Zhou". The water bandits on the Yangtze River all know that this is the command ship of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the governor of the Jiangdong Navy Army. The unspeakably miserable water bandits on the waterways of the Yangtze River, who were surrounded and suppressed by Zhou Yu, have now developed a good habit of running away when they see Zhou Yu's flagship. This made Zhou Yu sigh loudly because he couldn't find the water bandits to encircle and suppress him, "There is no place for heroes".

At this time, our handsome Zhou Dudu was standing under the handsome banner in a chic manner, looking at the river in the distance, and thought to himself: "Why is this guy Lu Su walking so slowly?" Two or three days for such a short distance? Shouldn't he be so frightened by Cao Jun that he didn't dare to go forward, so he hid in a corner and waited for Lao Tzu to pick him up? In fact, Zhou Yu didn't know what to do, although Mr. Lu Su deliberately slowed down the trip, so as to give Zhou Yu as much time as possible to rescue him, but ...... was still surrounded by Cao Jun.

"Look, Governor! It seems to be my ship ahead! "The sentry stood on a high watchtower and spotted what appeared to be a ship from Koto not far ahead.

"Where?" Zhou Yu hurriedly climbed the command platform, although it was lowered by the watchtower, but it was enough to see the situation ahead. Zhou Yu climbed up and saw that it was indeed Jiangdong's ships, there were as many as five or six. However, it is being besieged by a group of warships. At this moment, you don't need to know that the only person who dares to attack the ships of the Eastern Wu Navy on the Yangtze River is Cao Cao's navy. Zhou Yuxin said that it was still a step too late, so Cao Jun rushed first. With a wave of the signal flag, he ordered the whole army to form a geese-shaped formation, turned the rudder and raised the sails, and leaned up.

So is it Lu Su who is besieged? It's really him! It is said that this guy Lu Su listened to the words of Zhuge and his son, and ordered the messenger to board the shore and go to Poyang Lake to ask Zhou Yu for help. However, the waterway is much faster than the land route, so in order to give Zhou Yu time to rescue himself, he deliberately slowed down the trip on the road and drove to Jiangdong in a leisurely manner. But I didn't expect that Cao Cao's water master was waiting in Jiangxia for a really painful egg, and he said that this group of bastards in Jiangdong should have arrived even if they climbed, right? How did you get to now? Cao Cao's subordinates couldn't wait, so they ordered the navy to go upstream, and happened to encounter Lu Su's fleet forty or fifty miles from Jiangxia. A vicious battle is inevitable, but the Lusu people are not vegetarians, how can the future governor of the Eastern Wu Navy be good with his generation? The mobilization of ships was a burst of wild fire, relying on the Jiangdong battleship, which was tall and large, and directly rushed towards Cao Jun's warship.

Although it is said that Cao Jun is not good at water warfare, Cao Jun's water army may not be good at water warfare! Does this sound confusing? Actually, it's not confusing at all. Before Cao's army marched south to Liu Biao, Cao Cao's army actually had no sailors. After Cao Cao pacified Yuan Shao, he dug a large artificial lake in Yecheng for the purpose of training the navy. So in fact, the real formation of Cao Jun's naval army began after the construction of Xuanwu Lake was completed. Therefore, the formation time of Cao Jun's naval army was too short, and the training was obviously insufficient. What's more, the calm and waveless artificial lake and the rolling eastward waves of the Yangtze River are two concepts at all, how can the Cao Jun naval army trained in Xuanwu Lake compete with the Jiangdong naval division who has been climbing and rolling on the Yangtze River for a long time and is happy to encircle and suppress water bandits?

However, after the surrender of the Jingzhou group, the situation was very different. "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" recorded, "Liu Biao ruled the army, with thousands of ships and tens of thousands of sailors." Therefore, the voluntary surrender of Jingzhou Group is really a big pie falling from the sky for Cao Cao, and even Cao Cao himself burst into tears and said very excitedly after Liu Cong's surrender, "Happiness is so sudden"! Liu Cong's surrender not only exempted Cao's army from unnecessary casualties, but allowed Cao Cao to get 70,000 or 80,000 elite troops, especially the incorporation of the 30,000 or 40,000 Jingzhou naval troops in Cai Mao's hands made Cao's army more powerful. Most of the soldiers of this naval army are southerners, with good water character and high quality, and they have been fully tempered in the long-term encirclement and suppression of Jingzhou's water bandits and the battle against the Jiangdong naval division, and it can be said that it is an extremely elite naval army. It is also the only naval army in Cao Cao's hands that can compete with the Jiangdong naval army.

As soon as the two armies fought, Lu Su initially relied on the size of his ship and rampaged on the river. But a good tiger can't stand the wolves! Yu Ban is a self-aware person, and before he set out on the expedition, he specially borrowed Zhang Yun from Cai Mao as his lieutenant. As soon as the two armies fought, they took the initiative to hand over the command of the naval army to Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun doesn't look at the usual inconspicuous guy, but if he can get into the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Navy under Liu Biao, he can't do it without a considerable ability. Sure enough, Zhang Yun decisively took advantage of his small hull and large number to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Taking full advantage of the fast and flexible movement of his naval army, he surrounded a large circle around the periphery of the Lusu fleet, and kept shooting wildly at Lusu's big ship. Whichever direction Lu Su's ship broke through, the encirclement moved upward. Angry with Lu Su, you have a kind of head-on duel with Lao Tzu, what kind of hero is this kind of rogue method? Zhang Yunxin said, do you think Lao Tzu is stupid? You are rampage on the river with a big ship, a big ship, why do you want to fight with you? I'll surround you and shoot you!

Lu Su's ship was quickly shot into a hedgehog. The entire hull was nailed with arrows. Zhuge Liang looked out of the small window of the bow and crossbow in the cabin, and found that each of the remaining ships had at least thousands of arrows nailed, and said to Young Master Zhuge with a smile: "If this thing fights like this in the future, if it is all fought in this way, you don't need to make arrows!" It's enough for Cao Jun to send us alone! Lu Su heard this on the side and smiled bitterly. Young Master Zhuge was surprised, and said in his heart, Dad wouldn't have been inspired by this matter to come up with the strategy of "borrowing arrows from grass boats", right? In fact, what Young Master Zhuge didn't know was that the straw boat borrowed arrows completely made up by Luo Guanzhong when he was writing a novel, if he had to find out the prototype, it might be what Sun Quan did!

It is said that Cao Cao once again sent troops to conquer Eastern Wu in his later years, but at that time, the capital of Eastern Wu had moved to Jianye, which is today's Nanjing! Sun Quan built a stone city in Nanjing on the mountain, which was later known as Nanjing City. However, in fact, the history of Nanjing can be traced back to the earlier Western Zhou Dynasty, when it was the fief of Wu Bo Zhouzhang. However, no castle was built at that time. Later, after Goujian, the king of Yue, eliminated the state of Wu, he ordered the general Fan Li to build a city here, trying to use it as a base to conquer the state of Chu. This city built by Fan Li is the earliest Nanjing city, and it is called "Yuecheng" in history. Later, with the fall of the Yue Kingdom, Yuecheng also fell. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it had already been a barren place. Out of strategic considerations, Sun Quan built a new capital city on the basis of the old city of Yuecheng, which was strategically located, and called it "Jianye". Later, it became the capital of the Wu Kingdom, which was also the beginning of the history of Nanjing as the capital.

Cao Cao led the army to the city of Jianye. Sun Quan relied on his strong naval strength to form a confrontation with Cao's army. In fact, with Wu Jun's strength, it is already good to be able to fight like this! However, Sun Quan was an emperor with a very Lang Manism temperament, and he felt itchy when he saw that Cao Cao did not take the initiative to attack, so he took some small ships to Cao Cao's naval camp to stroll around. This made Cao Cao's generals angry, thinking that this was a naked provocation, and they were going to fight to destroy Sun Quan. But Cao Cao sometimes always oversmarts, and said to his subordinates, this is Sun Quan, this kid wants to find out the truth of our army, how can I let him get his wish? I just won't show you! Shoot him for me! So Cao Jun selected thousands of strong archers and shot wildly, so our old Mr. Sun Quan proudly returned to the camp with a boatload of arrows sent by Prime Minister Cao Cheng!

Getting back to the point, just when Lu Su couldn't advance or retreat, suddenly his subordinates reported that reinforcements had arrived!
