Seeing that Yao Yu was so serious, Lian Jun didn't dare to say anything, but also restrained his expression, hugged his fist at Yao Yu, opened his mouth and said yes respectfully.

"Alright, you go down first, I'll be quiet for a while."

Lian Jun agreed, turned to leave.

After he left, Yao Yu stared at the river again and began to be in a daze.

The fleet continued to move forward, and soon arrived at Lujiang County.

Yao Yu's fleet was going to turn north from here on the Lujiang River.

As soon as I entered Lujiang County, there was a sentry on the river to report.

On the Jiangdong side, Tao Kan, who had originally attacked Yuzhang, led his troops to withdraw to Danyang County, blocked the Yangtze River, and did not allow Yao Yu's fleet to move forward half a step.

Even, Na Tao Kan said that the front of the fleet was a military stronghold in Jiangdong, and no one was allowed to trespass without permission, otherwise, he would bear the consequences.

Yao Yuzheng, who was originally angry because Shi Le won Xiangguo, began to rise up, and Tao Kan hit the muzzle of the gun.

No, in anger, Yao Yu sent someone to show his name and informed Tao Kan that if he still planned to block the road, he couldn't say what the result would be.

Compared with Yao Yu's envoy, he set off to tell Tao Kan's army about the situation, but instead of retreating, Tao Kan humiliated the envoy, cut off his ears and nose, and drove him out.

···

"My lord, that Tao Kan is really excessive, he said that Jiangdong has Jiangdong rules, and we want to detour from Jiangdong. Nothing is possible. He also said that people in the world are afraid of you, and he is not afraid. If you want to be arrogant, let your adults go back to Jingzhou to be arrogant. ”

On the deck, the messenger who had his ear and nose cut off cried.

Lu Bihe Xiong was furious: "This Tao Kan wants to die, lord (lord), give an order." As long as you give the order, we will now lead someone into Taokan Water Village and cut off his head. ”

Yao Yu was also very angry, clenching his fists and crunching.

He was tempted to directly order an attack on Tao Kan.

However, in addition to the 3,000 sailors on his ship, that is, about 5,000 civilians.

These people have no fighting power.

Unlike Tao Kan, there are more than 20,000 sailors gathered under his command.

These sailors were all brought by Sima Rui from Xuzhou, not like the local soldiers in Jiangdong, who had been defeated by themselves before, and they were afraid in their hearts.

For these Xuzhou soldiers, Yao Yu is just a lucky person who is about the same age as them, how can it be so terrifying.

Otherwise, how could they dare to work with Tao Kan to block the waterway where Yao Yu was going?

The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, which is probably what it means.

After taking a few deep breaths, Yao Yu forcibly suppressed his anger and snorted: "This Tao Kan, I really don't know why the flowers are so red." Lu Bi sent someone to inform Shen Lin and Shen Cheng of Lujiang and told them to enter the Yangtze River to support. In addition, before waiting for Shen Lin and them to arrive, the whole army must not act rashly. ”

Lu Bi sighed: "Lord, what about Tao Kan?" Just spare him? ”

"Spare him? Hehe, what a joke. Go, give him an ultimatum and let him get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding him if something happens. ”

Although he was aggrieved in his heart, Yao Yu's orders were all given, and Lu Bi had no other way but to agree.

In this way, another messenger rushed to the Tao Kan camp with Yao Yu's order to warn.

The result was still the same, the messenger representing Yao Yu was insulted, and his ears and nose were also cut off and thrown back.

This time, Yao Yu fryed.

His mood was completely upset.

I saw Yao Yu scolding and scolding: "The grass is special, Tao Kan wants to play with Lao Tzu, okay, then let's have fun." Lu Bi ordered people to hurry back to Jiangling, and let Yong Ju lead the infantry cavalry to rush to Lujiang as quickly as possible. In addition, he sent someone to Jiangxia to inform the second uncle, so that he and Brother Bao could lead Jiangxia's troops eastward. That Tao Kan was not afraid of death, so we dug a pit for him to bury. ”

Seeing that Yao Yu was so angry, Lu Bi didn't dare to say anything else, and directly sent someone to ride a fast horse to inform Yao Qing and Yongji.

···

After receiving Yao Yu's news, Shen Lin immediately ordered the Lujiang soldiers and horses, ordered his son Shen Cheng to be the vanguard, and after he commanded the army, he drove into the Yangtze River to join Yao Yu, and began to confront Tao Kan's 20,000 army.

Even if it is Shen Lin's subordinates, Yao Yu's side is only 13,000 people.

In terms of numbers, it is not dominant.

As a result, Tao Kan was not flustered about this, and it was still the old god who continued his behavior, continued to block the Yangtze River, and strictly forbade anyone to come and go.

Regarding Tao Kan's behavior, Yao Yu, who was furious, did not choose to do it.

He is angry and knows Tao Kan's ability.

When the number of people is not superior, it is obvious that the odds of winning are not great.

No, he just pressed the fire and waited.

has been waiting for about half a month, and the 20,000 Jiangxia soldiers led by Yao Qing and Yao Bao father and son arrived.

Sima Fangxu, the military under Yao Qing, as a vanguard officer, was stationed on the riverbank, keeping an eye on Tao Kan's flank.

For a time, Yao Yu's army of 30,000 had already formed a flanking attack on Tao Kan.

In this case, Tao Kan was openly unafraid, and even dispatched soldiers and horses from the jurisdiction to confront Yao Yu. When the news reached Sima Rui's ears, the latter chose to remain silent.

He didn't stop Tao Kan's behavior, after all, from Sima Rui's point of view, Yao Yu said that he entered Huaishui through the Dao, but who knows if Yao Yu was a fake Dao and wanted to take the opportunity to snatch his basic plate in Xuzhou.

Yes, he does have Sima Yue's pass, but the problem is that Sima Rui himself doesn't recognize Sima Yue very much, and when his own safety is threatened, he obviously prefers to believe Tao Kan, the coach under his command.

No, instead of sending people to stop Tao Kan, Sima Rui also dispatched soldiers and horses from Danyang County to support Tao Kan.

In just ten days, Tao Kan had 40,000 people, once again tilting the balance of victory.

Not only that, but he also dispatched Wang Dun to pacify Huiji County, led 15,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to the north, and joined Tao Kan, saying that he would stop Yao Yu.

All kinds of information were sent back, and Yao Yu became even more angry.

Sima Rui has made up his mind to touch himself.

Okay, in that case, let's have fun.

So, he persuaded the anxious Lianghu and ordered all the troops under his command to be launched.

Almost as soon as Wang Dun and Tao Kan converged, the 40,000 infantry cavalry led by Yong Ju, as well as the newly recruited Wuxi barbarians under Sha Mosong, with a total of 5,000 people, all arrived.

It can be said that because of Sima Rui and Tao Kan's behavior, Yao Yu was really angry this time.

Otherwise, he would not have drawn out all the mobile soldiers and horses under his command to confront Sima Rui.

You know, this is a total of nearly 80,000 troops, although there is a simple military ration such as instant noodles to maintain, but the daily consumption is still a terrifying astronomical amount.

If you don't fight, how can you stop it?
