Over the years, Cao Jun has followed Cao Cao and Yang Ling to conquer the east and west, and I don't know how many battles have been fought, and they are definitely the elite of a hundred battles.

Coupled with the well-equipped armor and advanced and terrifying ordnance, the combat power is truly amazing.

Trap camp, hegemony battalion, and state iron cavalry, dragon battalion, Xiongnu iron cavalry, Wuhuan turquoise cavalry...... This powerful force, just listening to the name, people can't help but feel cowardly.

As Zhuge Liang said, it is extremely unwise to confront Cao Jun head-on.

Therefore, after listening to his plan, Zhou Yu only thought about it for a while, then nodded,

"That's easy to say. I don't know how Mr. Kong Ming wants Jiangdong to cooperate? ”

"Jiangdong only needs to allocate 20,000 sailors."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

The nine counties of Jingxiang are rich lands, and Liu Biao raised an army of 100,000 with them.

After the city of Xiangyang was broken, a part of the Jingzhou army surrendered to Yang Ling with Liu Cong and Cai Yu, and the rest were under the control of Liu Qi and Huang Zu.

At present, in Jiangling City, Liu Bei has a total of 20,000 foot soldiers, Liu Qi has 20,000 foot soldiers, and more than 10,000 sailors brought back by Guan Yu from Xiangyang.

On Huang Zu's side, there are a total of 20,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 sailors.

Zhuge Liang wanted to mobilize 20,000 water divisions in Jingzhou, together with Jiangdong water divisions, to attack Hanshui together.

Zhou Yu thought about it and said with a smile,

"20,000 is too little, it's better to do this, we have 30,000 sailors from Jiangdong!"

"Zhou Dudu is really a generous man! With these 50,000 sailors, let alone attacking Hanshui, even if you take Xiangyang directly, it is not impossible! ”

Liu Bei stroked his palms and laughed.

Everyone also stopped inking and discussed in detail the specific matters of the specific joint dispatch of troops.

It wasn't until the sun set that everyone gave up.

Liu Qi ordered someone to set up a banquet and warmly entertained Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others.

The two sides put aside their old suspicions and became allies.

On the banquet, it is natural that the atmosphere is staggered.

After the banquet was over, Zhou Yu returned to his residence, and just after washing his face, he saw Lu Su push the door and walk in.

"It's so late, why doesn't Zijing go to rest?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Gong Jin, then Zhuge Liang opened his mouth to ask for 20,000 water masters, why didn't you bargain and give him 30,000?"

Although Sun Quan is in Jiangdong and has been concentrating on development in recent years, the rebellion in the territory has never stopped.

First, there was the rebellion of Li Shu, the Taishou of Lujiang, and then the Taishou Sun Fu of Luling within the clan collaborated with the enemies Cao Cao and Sun Wei to try to seize power.

Tens of thousands of mountains in Yuzhang, Huiji and other places also took the opportunity to make trouble.

Sun Quan not only had to send troops everywhere to quell the rebellion, but also had to guard against Cao Cao in the north and Huang Zu in the west, and the troops were stretched.

However, in today's discussion in the court, Zhou Yu agreed to give 30,000 water masters, how not to make Lu Su wonder?

It's just that this trip is dominated by Zhou Yu, and Lu Su didn't ask in his heart.

After the banquet was over, he found Zhou Yu and asked about the suffering in his heart.

Zhou Yu smiled and patiently explained,

"Let's form an alliance with Liu Bei and Liu Qi, and we should show our sincerity, this is one of them."

"Second, Hanshui is too important, if it can be fought for, there will be a chance to directly take Xiangyang, and even counterattack Cao Cao."

"Third, the more we have a strong presence in Jingzhou, the more Cao Cao will focus his energy on this side, thus ignoring Huainan. At that time, the lord's side, maybe there will be a chance. ”

After hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help but suddenly say,

"I see! Gongjin's vision and pattern, I am far behind! ”

Zhou Yu smiled silently.

In the next few days, Cao's army outside the city remained stationary and had no intention of attacking the city.

Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others in the city are also happy to see this.

After some correspondence, in the end, Huang Zu sent 10,000 sailors from Jiangxia County, and Sun Quan also supported 30,000 sailors from Jiangdong!

The 50,000 naval divisions of the coalition army were docked outside Gangneung City.

For a while, I saw that the Yangtze River was densely packed with warships, and the tall sails almost covered the sky!

Such a spectacular scene also made Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others in the city feel refreshed.

"With such a mighty sailor, why don't you destroy the Cao thief?"

Liu Qi laughed.

"Having said that, you can't be too careless, Yang Ling is not to be underestimated."

Liu Bei admonished.

"Uncle Liu Huang's words are wrong, but there is no hero at the time, and he just makes the erector famous."

Zhou Yu smiled faintly,

"If you have the opportunity to meet Yang Ling, you must let him know that I am powerful."

Seeing that he didn't take Yang Ling in his eyes, Liu Bei wanted to persuade him not to be careless.

After all, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others were all planted in the hands of Yang Ling.

But considering that Zhou Yu was arrogant, Liu Bei hesitated again and again, but still didn't say anything.

After resting for a while in Jiangling City and replenishing grain and grass, the allied sailors went all the way east along the Yangtze River.

According to the original plan, after arriving at Xiakou, which is located near Chibi, the allied naval division will turn around and follow the Han River north.

"I hope this trip goes well!"

Looking at the warships of the coalition naval divisions, leaving in a majestic manner, Liu Bei said softly.

"Don't worry, my lord."

Xu Shu on the side said with a smile,

"With the command of the Governor of Gongjin and Mr. Kong Ming, and the fierce generals such as Yun Chang and Gong Fu (Huang Gai name), this time to capture Hanshui will definitely be a success!"

"I hope it's what you say."

Liu Bei breathed a long sigh of relief.

While Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others were talking at the head of the city, several scouts of Cao Jun were lurking in the dense forest outside the city.

They took in the situation on the river, and then quickly got up and left.

After a short time, these scouts rushed back to Cao Jun's camp and reported the matter to Yang Ling.

"The Sun-Liu coalition army gathered 50,000 water divisions, it should be to attack Hanshui!"

Gao Rou stared at the sand table map and said softly.

"General, you can't give up Han Shui, you must stop them."

Gan Ning shouted.

Needless to say, Yang Ling also understands this truth.

Whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangdong, their sailors are all amazingly powerful.

If the Han River is handed over, then Xiangyang and even Nanyang can become the backyard of the Sun and Liu families, and they can come whenever they want.

Yang Ling groaned slightly,

"Generals obey orders!"

All the faces were solemn, and they said in unison,

"Please command, General!"

"Xingba, Meng Qi, Wenchang, Zhongye, the four of you will follow me to support Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the two generals!"

"We are commanded!"

"General Zilong!"

"Please command, General!"

Zhao Yun came out of the crowd and answered in a deep voice.

"You sit in the army on behalf of General Ben, and everything big and small is under your orders. No one is allowed to attack Gangneung without my orders. ”

Yang Ling commanded.

"The last general commands!"

Zhao Yun replied.

After admonishing everyone, Yang Ling did not dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's headquarters with Gan Ning and Ma Chao.

A big battle around Hanshui is about to kick off!
