Chapter Fifty-Nine: Victory in the First Battle

Guilin has been a beautiful city since ancient times, and since the Qin Dynasty set up Xiang County, Guilin has been included in the jurisdiction of the central government.

Guilin County is surrounded by water, surrounded by mountains, the Qin Dynasty opened the Ling Canal, the water resources are very abundant, coupled with many days of heavy rain, Guilin County has become a water city, the ancient Venice of the East!

Cao Cao's army confronted Zhou Yu's army in the south of Guilin County, which was the only way to enter Guilin County, and the place name was Long Snake Bay. Long Snake Bay hence the name suggests, the terrain here is twisted and the river is wide, but it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, like a giant snake swimming in the river.

"Prime Minister, there is Shepan Lake in front, there is a small county seat, the county seat is placed in the river, and there are water villages all around, which is the only passage for our army to enter Guilin County, and it is also Zhou Yu's first line of defense." Cai Mao explained to Cao Cao on the building boat that the spies sent by Cai Mao had already heard the terrain around Guilin County clearly, and Zhou Yu's general defense Cai Mao had also figured it out.

"Well, then let's go to Shepanling to see what is so powerful about the legendary Metropolitan Governor of Sun Jun!"

"No!"

Cao's navy soon marched to Shepan Lake, which was an end of Long Snake Bay. In fact, it is a large circular lake, surrounded by many mountains, the most striking feature is that it has many ways out, in addition to this waterway from the west of Cao Jun, there are several entrances to this large lake in the east, south and north.

"Prime Minister, the enemy army has asked for a meeting with the commander." Cao Cao's army had just entered the Snake Lake. Zhou Yu's navy had already waved the flag to Cao's army, and from the local military array, a big building ship sailed out, judging from the decoration, this is Zhou Yu's flagship.

"Oh? Okay, General Cai, come with me to see this Mei Zhou Lang! As soon as Cao Cao heard that Zhou Yu was going to meet, he looked at the river again, and a big ship had already left the military formation and stopped in the middle of the big lake.

"No!" Cai Mao commanded Cao Cao's ship. Under the cover of two ships, they also came to the middle of the great lake. The two ships were no more than a hundred paces apart, and the generals on both decks could see it clearly.

"Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin passed by Prime Minister Cao Cheng!" After Zhou Yu saw Cao Cao clearly, he first saluted Cao Cao.

"It turned out to be Koto Mei Zhoulang, and I have long heard of Mei Zhoulang's handsomeness. See you today. Gong Jin is really a handsome person. Boys and girls, I feel pity! Cao Cao leaned back on the tiger skin chair on the deck and began to admire Zhou Yu's beauty.

Zhou Yu has a melon seed face. Thick eyebrows, big eyes, white complexion, eight feet tall, black hair, wearing bright red armor, heroic and formidable. In addition to the heroic spirit, there are also some women's shyness.

Who said that there are only red faces and troubled water, and beautiful men are also a kind of trouble! Especially for Cao Cao, who admires male sex.

"If it were a woman, I would accept it!" After Cao Pi saw Zhou Yu's appearance, he sighed. Zhou Yu's appearance is really pitiful.

Lu Rui was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes. Feelings Cao Pi and Lao Cao are the same color, as long as they look beautiful, both men and women want to eat it all!

"Hey, it's a pity I'm too young." Cao Cheng suddenly burst out with a sentence. Lu Rui was speechless for a moment, it seems that everyone in the Cao family is the same, there is a knife on the head of this color word!

"Hahahaha! It's a pity that Yu is a man, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by the heroism of the prime minister, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, and he can't serve the prime minister, it's a pity, it's a pity! Zhou Yu didn't get angry, but ridiculed Cao Cao in turn. Zhou Yu regarded Cao Cao's appreciation as a radical method.

"I heard that Gong Jin's heart is to the Han family, his own appearance is dedicated to supporting the Han family, and Sun Quan's wolf ambition, why doesn't Gong Jin abandon the dark and cast into the light, and serve the true phase? Gong Jin's sergeant, the division of tigers and wolves, has extraordinary momentum, and it may take a long time to train this male army, Gong Jin does not think about himself, but also thinks about all the sergeants, lay down his arms, and let them reunite with their families. As for Gong Jin. Originally, Cao Cao wanted to say that Zhou Yu could also reunite with his family, but after thinking about it, Xiao Qiao had been remarried to someone else by himself, so it was better to take it back.

"Gong Jin can form a son-in-law with Ben Xiang, and Ben Xiang guarantees that as long as Gong Jin is willing to surrender, the future will never be under the sons of my Cao family!" Cao Cao rolled his eyes and put forward another tempting condition.

"Is the prime minister still the prime minister he was at the beginning? Is the prime minister willing to let go of his rights and let the family that follows you be slaughtered by His Majesty? Prime Minister don't laugh, the situation is not under your control, I only fight for the belief in my heart, as long as the prime minister is defeated, it will be difficult for the prime minister to replace Han in his lifetime! Yu is only a loyal servant of the Great Han! Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and refused Cao Cao's surrender.

"It's a pity, if Gong Jin is defeated and killed, this minister will bury Gong Jin well."

"If the prime minister is defeated and dies, Gongjin will also bury the prime minister!" Zhou Yu arched his hand to Cao Cao, and let Lou Chuan return to his own military formation.

"General Cai, how do you think we should break the enemy?" Cao Cao's ship also returned to his own army.

Cai Mao looked at the military formation in front of her, touched her beard, and began to think.

Zhou Yu's water village camp was built on a water island with a radius of more than a mile, and there was a small village called Snake Ridge Town. There was originally a city wall on it, and Zhou Yu used the original city wall to strengthen the defense and form his own water village.

There are many small islands of several hundred square meters around the water village, and these small islands have been built by Zhou Yu with arrow towers, and the water village is surrounded by stars and moons.

"Hit it right!" Cai Mao looked at Zhou Yu's layout, as well as the surrounding terrain, the water here is very wide, Cao Cao has no problem even if all the 100,000 troops are deployed, although Zhou Yu has established fortifications, but they are all some simple fortifications, as long as there is a numerical advantage, Cai Mao is confident that he can defeat Zhou Yu.

"Good! Order the whole army to attack, and here is how General Cai commands the naval army! Cao Cao nodded, then sat down on the chair and handed over the command of the navy to Cai Mao.

"No!" Cai Mao arched his hand, turned around, and began to command the navy.

Cai Mao took a building ship as the center, two large ships guarded left and right, and ten ships guarded the outermost layer. Divided into ten teams and attacked Zhou Yu's ten arrow towers.

When Zhou Yu saw Cai Mao make a move, he also ordered the warp to attack and protect it around the arrow tower, and the two sides started hand-to-hand combat.

The ships of both sides hooked each other's ships with large iron hooks, and the soldiers began to fight each other. Dense bows and arrows were placed on the towers, and the soldiers on the ships were not to be outdone, and fired back with bows and crossbows. There is no such strategy to talk about, and the two sides are fighting with physical strength and force.

"Zhou Gongjin's training is really powerful, and General Cai is not lagging behind!" After Cao Cao saw the performance of both sides, he nodded, although Zhou Yu's soldiers fought bravely, but Cai Mao's sergeants were not soft persimmons, and the two sides were basically evenly matched.

"General Pan, this place will be handed over to you. Remember, as long as it is dusk, we can retreat, and we don't need to go head-to-head with Cao's army. Zhou Yu commanded the young general next to him.

"Rest assured, the Governor will know. It's just that if this place misses, Cao's army can directly attack Guilin County. Pan Zhang's worries are not unreasonable, after crossing this big round lake, as long as you drive along the river for another mile, you will be under the city of Guilin County.

"General Pan doesn't have to worry, the governor of Pontus has his own arrangements." Zhou Yu patted Pan Zhang, and left on the boat.

The battle between Cao Jun and Zhou Yu's army lasted until dusk, and the breakthrough of the water village meant that Zhou Yu's defense line in this place had all fallen into the hands of Cao Jun.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect our army to win the first battle, and it occupied the outpost of Zhou Yu's army in just one day, and Guilin County is just around the corner." Cao Cao occupied Zhou Yu's water village, and in the council room, rewarded those who had meritorious service.

"De Jue should be the first credit today!"

"Prime Minister Xie!"

"Prime Minister, Zhou Yu has been famous for a long time, with thousands of people to help Sun Ce pacify Jiangdong, although our army won the first victory, the prime minister should not underestimate Zhou Yu, our army should still deal with it carefully." Lu Rui saw that Cao Cao was a little carried away, and stood up and reminded Cao Cao.

"Don't worry, I know that Zhou Yu will definitely have a backhand, but our first battle is the first victory, let the sergeant rest first. This is not to be taken lightly. Cao Cao waved his hand and told Lu Rui that he would pay attention. (To be continued......)
