Liu Yu's first task in Jiankang is not to pursue Huan Xuan, but to consolidate his position in Jiankang, after all, Huan Xuan's general trend has gone, and there is no chance to make a comeback.

And Wei Feng made it clear that he wanted to seize the two states of Jingjiang, although Liu Yu was very unhappy to be in the hands of Wei Feng upstream, but he had the strength, and the big break of the Wei army also made Liu Yu jealous, so he was not willing to clash with Wei Feng too early when his position was unstable, not to mention that it was useless to let go of Huan Xuan, Huan had been operating in Jingxiang for decades, Wei Feng wanted to get Jingzhou, he couldn't be easy, maybe he could knock off his front teeth!

When Huan Xuan was in charge, no matter how big or small, he personally did it, pursued perfection, and naturally required his subordinates not to have a trace of defects, in the recital to him, even if a typo was found, at least he had to be dismissed and dismissed, and he couldn't talk about hiring only the amount of money, and Liu Yu changed Huan Xuan's shortcomings, he did not interfere with the innovation of government decrees, adhering to the guidelines of employing people without doubt, suspecting people not to use, and completely entrusted political affairs to Liu Muzhi, in addition, he also tried his best to win over the Gaomen Jia clan.

The Gaomen Jia clan is inseparable from Wang Xie, for Wang Ningzhi and Xie Ming, who Wei Feng relies on, Liu Yu only maintains a polite appearance on the surface, because he knows that before Wei Feng collapses, these two lines cannot be used by him, the key is that Wei Feng and these two families are too deeply entangled, Xie Chao promised Wei Feng two precious daughters to Wei Feng, what else can Liu Yu do?

Liu Yu reused Wang Dao's direct line, that is, Wang Mi, who had given Huan Xuan a ribbon, Wang Mi had also saved his life at the beginning, and the other was Xie Chong. That is, the side branch of the Xie family, who was not very close to Xie Chao and Xie Daoyun, and appointed Xie Hui, who was only 14 years old, to join the army as Meng Chang's lieutenant soldier.

It's just that although Liu Yu has no intention of pursuing Huan Xuan, Liu Yi is earnest, and on the tenth day of Liu Yu's entry into Jiankang, that is, on May 10, Liu Yi found Liu Yu and said: "Brother Deyu, now Jiankang has been decided, but Huan Xuan has not yet been ambushed. Therefore, Yi asked the leading water army to attack Huan Xuan. This fang will be captured alive and welcome the lord back to the town to build health! ”

"This" Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't come up with a legitimate reason to refuse, and looked at Liu Muzhi. Liu Muzhi nodded slightly. He said, "Okay." Since Xile has a heart, let Wuji go with you, if you take down Jingjiang. You can choose one of the two state thorn history! ”

Liu Yi was overjoyed and solemnly bowed: "Please rest assured, Brother Deyu, Yi will make preparations and strive to set off within ten days." With that, he walked out quickly.

Seeing Liu Yi's back gradually move away, Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "General, Liu Yi thinks highly of himself, and he may have a dispute with you in the future, let him go upstream, and it is not bad to compete with General Wei for Jingjiang Erzhou, although Liu Yi may not be General Wei's opponent, but it can make my Beifu Army and General Wei have a grudge, if Liu Yi is cut off by General Wei, hehe~~ At least it can offset General Wei's virtue of helping Jingkou!" ”

"Haha~~" Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh!

Liu Yi and He Wuji led the water army to pursue Huan Xuan ten thousand days later, and Huan Xuan still had some foundation in Jingzhou, and even gathered nearly 50,000 water troops to counterattack Liu Yi, he was only afraid of Wei Feng and Liu Yu, and Liu Yi was not yet in his eyes, and the two armies met in Zhengrongzhou (now a sandbar in the Yangtze River northwest of Huanggang, Hubei).

Looking around, Huan Xuan's side has nearly a thousand boats, as well as several building boats, and the Beifu Army has been dispersed because the original naval army has been dispersed, and at the same time, the naval army is not like the foot soldiers, at least the sailors have to be found one by one, and the ships have to be mobilized one by one, so Liu Yi needs to spend ten days.

But even so, only a hundred or so warships were collected, and the number was only 10,000, facing the mighty fleet opposite, Liu Yi's heart was a little frightened, and he couldn't give the order to attack for a long time.

He Wuji couldn't help sneering and said: "Xile, Huan Xuanxu has his appearance, this person is ambitious and talented, timid as a chicken, although the rabble is numerous, it is not enough to sweep away, you see, he has a small boat next to the big ship, and he fled when he was defeated, so cowardly, who is willing to use his life in the three armies?" The decisive battle between the two armies, between victory and defeat, it is all about whether the main general is cowardly or not, Han Guangwu broke Kunyang, Wei Wuke Guandu, all of them are outnumbered, he can do it, why can't you and me? ”

Liu Yi took a closer look, and sure enough, he put his mind at ease and shouted: "Today is the opportunity for us to break the mystery, drum!" ”

At that time, there were three main methods of naval warfare, one was the collision of warships, using the strong ships of the other side to impact the vital parts of the enemy's boat, such as rowing over the side of the ship to break its long pole, ramming the stern and breaking its wheelhouse, or blocking the waist to hit its tower, destroying its crossbow windows and spear holes, so that the enemy ship lost part of its combat strength, the second is when the narrow roads intersect and the boats meet, it is necessary to use the building boat to jump to help the side of the battle, and the third is the fire attack, but the fire attack cannot be used lightly, and must be closely combined with the time and place.

Moreover, the military discipline of the naval army is extremely strict, and even the cavalry is far from being able to catch up, because the water war often involves thousands of boats, and the slightest carelessness will cause chaos, so the sergeants, boatmen, and helmsmen must have a clear division of labor, each in its place, and the dispatch of the warship must be strictly managed.

The drums are passed, the officials are strict, the drums are passed, the Wushi are all on the boat to hold the oars, the sergeants each hold weapons on the boat, each in his own place, the sails are all the ships carried by the generals, the drums are three links, the large and small warships are fired at the second, the left is not allowed to the right, the right is not to the left, the front and back are not easy, and the violator is beheaded!

"Knock knock~~" The first drum sounded heavily, the officers and soldiers of the Beifu Army were all contemplative, and an awe-inspiring aura was brewing, the second drum sounded, and the soldiers on the boat were in place, holding the weapons firmly in their hands, and the third drum sounded, and suddenly, nearly 100 boats and oars were flying, rushing upstream!

Huan Xuan was horrified, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect Liu Yi to be a brave general, I underestimated him, I shouldn't take risks lightly, retreat quickly!" ”

Bian Fanzhi immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, you can't retreat, once you retreat, the whole army will be chaotic!" ”

Huan Xuan said unhappily: "I am the Ninety-Five Supreme, how can I be in danger?" What do you have in mind? ”

Bian Fanzhi immediately closed his mouth, a trace of bitterness rose to his heart, compared with his father Huan Wen, Huan Xuan did not inherit a trace of Yihao's heroism, but was riddled with all kinds of vices, and even Bian Fanzhi wondered, Huan Xuan is not Huan Wen's species? Huan Wen's other five sons, Huan Xi, Huan Ji, Huan Xin, Huan Yi, Huan Wei, although they can't talk about their eloquence, and they don't have Huan Wen's courage to swallow thousands of miles, but they can barely understand the general situation, and they will not be timid when facing the enemy, Bian Fanzhi is sure that if any of the five sons of Huan Wen is replaced, he will never be taken advantage of by Liu Jinu!

"Hey~~" Bian Fanzhi sighed heavily, he understood that this retreat must be the result of the rout of the whole army, even if he retreated to Jiangling, it was useless, he would inevitably be the end of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, but as the chief mastermind of Huan Xuan, would Wei Feng or Liu Yu spare him?

With Huan Xuan's order, large and small ships rushed to turn around, but how could it be so easy on the river? The middle reaches of the river are different from the lower reaches, only three or four miles wide at most, and the whole army soon became in turmoil, especially Huan Xuan took the Lou boat, and in the process of turning around, he actually knocked over several warships around him!

Liu Yi and He Wuji were both dumbfounded, and for a long time, Liu Yi was overjoyed and said: "Huan Xuan collapsed without a fight, this day help me, capture Huan Xuan today!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha ~~" He Wuji also laughed out loud.

Before the laughter fell, the sailor in charge of watching the mast said urgently: "General Liu, General He, there is a ship coming behind!" ”

Liu Yi and He Wuji stretched their necks and looked back, about ten miles away, there was a faint fleet coming quickly, and when they got closer, they could see that there were more than a hundred, among which the leading ship was forty zhang long, and the three thick mainmasts pierced the sky, and what was even more unbelievable was that the speed was extremely fast!

Liu Yi and He Wuji both showed a look of shock, they were sure that this was definitely not the ship of the Beifu Army, Liu Yi shouted loudly: "Quickly wave the flag and ask the other party where it is!" ”

The lookout on the mast hurriedly waved all kinds of flags, but the other party did not react and was still driving at full speed!

Liu Yi asked with some uneasiness: "You can capture Huan Xuan when you see it, but this is unscrupulous, what do you say?" ”

He Wuji said without thinking: "Huan Xuan's general trend has gone, even if he is allowed to escape back to Jiangling just to live a few more days, but the ship from the rear must not be neglected!" ”

Liu Yi nodded, and called again: "Suspend the pursuit of Huan Xuan and prepare to fight!" ”

Because the ships of the Beifu army were all bows to the boat, exposing their butts to the ships coming downstream, which was extremely disadvantageous in water warfare, but there was no way, no one was sure that they could turn the bow of the ship in this short period of time, so they had to row the big oars upside down to make the ship hover, and the archers squeezed into the back of the ship and looked nervously at the incoming ship.

At this time, Julia stood on the watchtower, looking high-spirited, but still a little dissatisfied, because the sails were changed, and the soft sails were replaced with hard sails, which made her accustomed to soft sails have a sense of incongruity, but the hard sails are cheap and durable, and the speed of sailing on inland rivers and coasts is not slower than that of soft sails, so the fleet of this expedition is all hard sails.

Beside Julia, there were Chen Maiden and Liu Xingnan, Liu Xingnan wanted to go to Jingkou to visit Zang Aiqin and Liu Yu, so he followed Julia, however, she was a step late, Zang Aiqin had been taken to Jiankang by Liu Yu, although Jiankang was also on the way, but Liu Xingnan thought about it and still didn't go ashore, because Liu Yu was no longer the junior general of the Beifu Army, but held the military and political power of Jiankang, she was worried that she would be caught by Liu Yu to marry on the shore, which had to be prevented.

Liu Xingnan sighed faintly, and said helplessly: "I don't know which general of the Beifu Army is, maybe Xingnan knows him." ”

Miss Chen proposed: "Xingnan, you might as well go to the cabin to avoid it, if it is really someone you know, it is not easy to talk when you meet." ”

Liu Xingnan nodded and said, "Okay then!" With that, he walked into the cabin. (To be continued......)
