The smoke is vast, and the river is boundless.

On the Yangtze River, battleships lined up, and on each battleship, a black flag was hung. On the flag, a huge yellow letter was embroidered.

The warships in the array are Jingzhou's naval forces.

On the deck of the command ship, Pang Tong was wearing a black robe and a large cloak on the outside. The cold wind was blowing in his face, and Pang Tong couldn't help but rub his slightly stiff cheeks.

Beside him, stood a military general over fifty years old, with a hideous appearance and sharp eyes.

His temples were already gray, and he was covered with a weathered look.

Those eyes were shining.

This person is Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu.

Pang Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Huang Taishou, according to the news sent back by the sentinels, Zhou Yu's army has been dispatched. Soon, the two sides will meet on the water. ”

Huang Zu's voice was very majestic, and he said loudly: "Zhou Yu's child, it's not enough to worry about it. If it weren't for your request, Ben would have even taught Zhou Yu a lesson. Huangkou Xiao'er, who actually opened his mouth to capture Jiangxia, was simply overwhelmed. ”

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Actually, Huang Taishou really doesn't need to fight with Zhou Yu. Win Zhou Yu, win without martial arts. If Zhou Yu is lucky, it will have an impact on Huang Taishou's prestige. ”

"Hahaha"

After Huang Zu heard this, he nodded again and again.

Pang Tong's words spoke to Huang Zu's heart.

Who is Huang Zu, the person who once set up a plot to shoot Sun Jian. He thinks that he is strong in martial arts and has outstanding strategy, and he does not take Sun Quan and Zhou Yu in his eyes. In fact, Huang Zu's ability to govern the army was indeed outstanding, and Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia repeatedly and repeatedly, but in the end he returned in vain.

In history, the reason why Huang Zu was killed was because the general Chen under his command was killed in front of the battle, and the army's spirit was broken, so that the army was defeated like a mountain, and Huang Zu was killed in the process of retreating.

"Newspaper"

On the lookout, a soldier shouted, "My lord, there is a warship in front of you. ”

When Huang Zu heard this, he said vigilantly: "Zhou Yu's army is here. ”

Huang Zu stared at the river, and after a short time, battleships appeared on the river. The naval army under Zhou Yu quickly approached.

After a short time, the two sides lined up on the river to confront each other.

It's just that no one took the lead in the war.

Once the war starts, the situation on the river will be chaotic. After both sides were killed, no one could find out when Liu Xiu's ship would arrive.

Therefore, the two naval armies confronted each other, and neither of them made a rash move.

On the Jiangdong command ship, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were on the deck.

The river wind blows, and the hunting sounds.

Zhou Yu was wearing armor and a golden helmet, and asked, "Demou, is there any news of Liu Xiu?" ”

Cheng Pudao: "Not yet. ”

Zhou Yu nodded, his eyes falling on the Jingzhou Water Army.

The Jingzhou Navy is also in array, and the distance from the Jiangdong Navy is about 60 zhang. The Jiangdong naval army approached, while the Jingzhou naval army retreated, and the distance between the two sides always maintained a distance of about 60 zhang.

Half an hour, fleeting.

A large ship suddenly appeared in the rear and rushed in the direction of the Jiangdong naval army.

After Zhou Yu saw it, he knew that Liu Xiu's ship was coming, and ordered: "Pass the order Gan Ning to attack." At the sound of an order, the soldiers holding the command flag on the command ship waved the order flag, and when Gan Ning saw it, he immediately accelerated and approached the Jingzhou naval army.

At the same time, the battleship where Ling Tong Huang Gai and Han Dang were located quickly retreated and approached Liu Xiu's battleship.

Huang Zu saw that the other party was attacking, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and ordered: "Withdraw" ordered the flag to wave, and the Jingzhou naval army in array immediately turned around and retreated.

This scene stunned Zhou Yu on the command ship.

How can it be

Liu Xiu's ship is coming, how can the other party retreat directly, doesn't it matter whether Liu Xiu lives or dies

irrationality

"It's not good, the ship in the rear is cheating, and Liu Xiu is definitely not on the ship. ”

In Zhou Yu's heart, a bad premonition was born. He looked back and saw Ling Tong Huang Gai and Han Dang approaching Liu Xiu's big ship, and the planks were set on the two boats, but Liu Xiu's boat had no soldiers to resist, and Ling Tong Huang Gai and Han Dang easily boarded the big ship.

Zhou Yu looked ahead again, the Jingzhou army retreated extremely fast, and Gan Ning went to catch up, but he couldn't catch up at all. Especially after the distance was shortened, Gan Ning did not dare to chase alone, so he could only retreat.

Two quarters of an hour later, Gan Ning returned to the deck and reported: "Governor Dadu, the Jingzhou army retreated without a fight, and it can't catch up. ”

Zhou Yu nodded, did not speak, and waited quietly.

Soon, Ling Tong Huang Gai and Han Dang brought the people on Liu Xiu's ship to the deck. A man fell to his knees, trembling and terrified.

Zhou Yu asked, "Who is the person in charge of the ship?"

"I Am"

An obese, pale-faced middle-aged man spoke.

Zhou Yu asked, "What about the original people on the ship?"

The middle-aged man said, "My lord, I don't know anything. Two days ago, I met several people who said to give me a boat and give me back 100,000 dollars. The only condition was for me to sail the boat to the border between Chaisangsan and Jiangxia. ”

Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and asked, "What does the other party look like?"

The middle-aged man thought carefully and replied, "The person who spoke to me was a young man, who looked magnificent. He was dressed in white, and he was extravagant. He was followed by a burly middle-aged man. In addition, there is also a middle-aged man who is not good-looking. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he concluded that it was Liu Xiu and his party, and asked, "Where did they go?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know either, after they gave the boat to the villain, they left." They traveled by land and did not take any more water. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh lightly and ordered, "Release people." ”

Ling Tong got the order and released the middle-aged man, as well as the rest of the people.

Zhou Yu looked at Huang Gai, Lingtong and the others, and sighed lightly: "This time, I was deceived by Liu Xiu again. Liu Xiu asked Huang Zu to line up at the border, and on the surface made an illusion of greeting, so that the governor's eyes were focused on the river. In this way, Liu Xiu quietly got off the ship and broke through by land. If the governor did not expect badly, Liu Xiu arranged for the army to meet him at the checkpoint where Chaisang and Jiangxia County were handed over. ”

Huang Gai said: "Governor, let's turn around immediately and go to intercept it. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "It's late, it's late." He looked at the direction of Huang Zu's retreat, and there was still a trace on the current river, and the other party had already withdrawn to Jiangxia County.

At this time, Zhou Yu's heart also gave birth to a trace of powerlessness.

Unexpectedly, he Zhou Yu was also teased.

"Liu Xiu, you won. ”

Zhou Yu said secretly in his heart, and then secretly said in his heart: "This time, you won." But next time, I will definitely defeat you, and I will definitely set foot in Jingzhou. ”

Zhou Yu is not a person who easily admits defeat, he made a mistake in judgment this time, but he will never admit defeat.

Cheng Pu sighed lightly and said, "Since Liu Xiu has arranged this one, it will definitely be impossible to catch up with him next." If you lose this time, then you don't have to think about Liu Xiu's problem anymore. Next, make every effort to prepare for the war against Jiangxia next year. ”

Huang Gai said: "Lu Su is still in Liu Xiu's hands, how can he substitute for the main bus." ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his expression was also embarrassed. Lu Su was not only an official in Jiangdong, but also a close friend of Zhou Yu. Lu Su and Zhou Yu have an irreversible relationship, and now that Lu Su has been arrested, Zhou Yu is also anxious.

Zhou Yu said: "Regarding Zijing's arrangement, this governor will write a letter to inform the lord, let the lord coordinate, and strive for Liu Biao to order Liu Xiu to release Zijing. If you want to snatch back Zijing directly from Liu Xiu's hands, it is definitely impossible, you can only use this method. ”

Huang Gai Chengpu and others heard this and nodded yes.

Liu Xiu is as cunning as a fox, and his methods are endless, which makes Huang Gai Chengpu and others have a headache.

Zhou Yu turned around and suddenly thought of Tai Shici, who was in Yuzhang County.

From the analysis of a series of events, Liu Xiu arranged everything properly. Then Liu Xiu left Youxian, although the troops of Changsha County were empty, Liu Xiu was probably also arranged.

Tai Shici invaded Ancheng County and approached Changsha County, is it Liu Xiu's trap

For a while, Zhou Yu couldn't figure out the situation.

After returning to the barracks, Zhou Yu immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to Yuzhang County. He wrote down everything that had happened recently, and asked Tai Shi Ci and Sun Ben, the Taishou of Yuzhang County, to be cautious and avoid being tricked
