Zhou Yu's plan failed to come true after all, and when he saw the warship with the flag of the Jiangxia Navy in the distance, Zhou Yu immediately ordered to turn around and return.

Huang Zu is worthy of being a veteran of the army for many years, and when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately sent people to Yixian County to transfer troops and reinforcements. It's just that the Jiangdong Army moved too fast, and he failed before the reinforcements arrived, and gave up the camp to the Jiangdong Army in vain.

Although the reinforcements cannot be the full strength of the Jiangxia Navy, the fleet led by Zhou Yu is only a part of the Jiangdong Navy, and it is already a tired division, and it is very difficult to defeat the Jiangxia Navy, which is unknown to the enemy, so he decisively chose to return.

The boiling river has taken away the bright red, the smell of vomiting blood still remains in the wind, the wrecked battleship has sunk to the bottom of the river without a trace, and the camp is also the remnants of the fire, and the captives are cleaning the camp under the supervision of soldiers......

This is the scene that Zhou Yu saw after he returned.

When the fleet sailed into the water village, cheers erupted in the water village and in the main camp, welcoming the triumphant fleet, in stark contrast to the dejected captives.

"Gong Jin, you did a good job, this big victory over Huang Zu will inevitably leave a shadow on the Jiangxia navy." Zhou Yu returned to the camp, and Liu Feng praised. He did not go with Zhou Yu to pursue, but stayed to deal with things.

"The lord has an overreputation, it's just a small victory, that is, it narrows the gap with the Jiangxia Navy on the surface, after all, we don't know what killer the Jiangxia Navy has." Zhou Yu said modestly, "Have the results been counted?" What is the battle damage? ”

"Gong Jin has achieved a lot of results this time, sinking 7 medium-sized building ships in Jiangxia, 11 small building ships, hundreds of fighting ships, and capturing more than 100 ships, which can be described as a complete victory." Liu Feng hadn't spoken yet, but Bai Jian spoke first.

"The Metropolitan Governor praised it falsely, if it was, without the cooperation of the Metropolitan Governor on land, it would bring great pressure to Huang Zu, and he temporarily decided to abandon Hong Kong, how could Yu achieve such a result." Zhou Yu said politely.

"This is also the ability of you and the military advisor to be able to seize the fighter in time. They both serve the Lord, and what do they do with each other? Bai Jian said.

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is that Zhou Yu remembers." Zhou Yu said.

"Okay, everyone is not an outsider, there is no need to say compliments, let's discuss what to do next." Liu Feng said with a smile, "Strategist, let's talk about your opinion first!" ”

"Huang Zu will not be willing to fail, and will definitely think about revenge and come back. If he had been carried away by his anger, it would have been better if he had come with a large army. Xun You said, "But this probability is very low, Huang Zu has been in the army for many years, has rich experience, and has the responsibility of defending the territory, plus he has just been defeated for a while, the army is disheartened, and he will not be easily dispatched." In this way, it just gave us time to calmly repair the camp and use it as a forward base for the expedition of Huang Zu. ”

"On land, you can quickly break down Xiaxian and Exian, and then empty the two counties, and all the population will be moved back to Jiangdong. However, it is best not to approach in the direction of Shaxian, nor to make any movement in the direction of Changsha, so as not to frighten Liu Biao. As long as we capture Xia Pheasant and Exian, and then annihilate the Jiangxia naval army, it will be enough for us to digest it for a long time. ”

"Yes, with our current strength, we can only step by step to lay a solid foundation, if the step is too big, it is easy to cause instability in the rear." Liu Feng said, "The naval army will be handed over to Gong Jin, and we don't need to worry about this battle." ”

"Don't worry, my subordinates will not let the enemy of Jiangbei take the next step." Zhou Yu said.

"Liu Biao's prediction was wrong, Zhang Xian's strength is far stronger than imagined, and it will not end in a short time, plus the aliens are profiting from it, it is difficult for Liu Biao to win." Zhang Hong said, "If Liu Biao's main force is in Jingnan for a long time, Jingbei will be empty, or there may be other changes." ”

"What Zigang said is very true, or we can contact Zhang Ji in the predicament of Wancheng to see if he has the ambition to dominate Nanyang." Liu Feng said with a smile, "Maybe you can let Liu Jingsheng experience the mood of Yuan Highway the year before last." ”

……

After the discussion, Zhang Hongzi went to take charge of the restoration of the camp, while Zhou Yu screened the prisoners and organized training. And Bai Jian also Xun You, after a day's rest, immediately led the army to Exian - the two of them left the army at the same time, and they were always a little worried.

And not long after Liu Feng took the camp in Exian County, Liu Biao in Jingnan also went one step further and broke through Yiyang. It's just that there are heavy losses in Yiyang, and it is still far from taking Changsha to defeat Zhang Xian.

This made Liu Biao hesitate.

Do you want to keep fighting?

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Biao finally decided to continue the expedition to Changsha. If he gives up halfway, not to mention that he has lost face in front of the world, more importantly, Jingnan will completely break away from his rule and become an independent force, and Jingzhoumu's decree will no longer be able to touch here.

This is something that Liu Biao can't bear.

Therefore, he summoned Kuai Yue and others again to discuss the matter of marching.

At the same time, the embarrassed Huang Zu returned to Yi County under the response of Huang Zhu.

Not surprisingly, Huang Zu's defeat made Cai He find an excuse to sneer at him, and even wanted to encourage the generals under him to unite to overthrow Huang Zu.

Fortunately, Huang Zu's prestige is good, and the power of Yi County is still under Huang Zu's control, plus Huang Zu is the commander of the Jiangxia War formulated by Liu Biao, Zhang Yun understands that the change of battle will be a taboo for soldiers, and he does not support Cai He's actions, and a turmoil will disappear invisibly.

But the responsibility for defeat needs to be borne by someone.

So Su Fei, who followed Huang Zu in embarrassment, became a scapegoat, was removed from all positions, and became a big-headed soldier. If it weren't for the tightness of the war, he might even be imprisoned.

Su Fei was also unlucky, his suggestion was what Huang Zu thought, but because he failed to evacuate, he ended up being a scapegoat. Although Huang Zu personally explained the reason to him afterwards and promised to resume his position as soon as possible, Su Fei's heart also had a mustard.

The second is Zhang Hu, because he failed to complete Huang Zu's order, he held on for less than half an hour and evacuated, resulting in the rapid breakdown of the Exian camp, and he also took responsibility. It's just that Zhang Hu has someone to intercede for him, so he was able to pass the test, but he was demoted one level and retained.

Huang Zu was naturally unwilling to fail, and after winning over his generals to suppress Cai He's ambitions, Huang Zu once again gathered troops and horses to strengthen training. As soon as the morale affected by the defeat is restored, it will once again fight the Jiangdong naval army.

Several forces began to quietly accumulate strength, just waiting for war to come.

It's just that no one could have imagined that the deadlock would be broken from another place.
