When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other in Guandu, Sun Quan took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack Guangling, and the 100,000 army was frightened back by Chen Deng's strategy, and it declined before fighting, with countless casualties.

Eighteen-year-old Sun Quan tasted defeat for the first time.

After this battle, Sun Ce saw that Sun Quan had no ability to command the army, so he personally went to Dantu to reorganize his men and prepare to go north again, but unexpectedly he was injured by the assassin and died of his injuries.

Isn't it a pity that the stars of the sky have fallen?

Especially he and Tai Shici, and Sun Ce can be described as confidants and friends, like siblings, and even more painful.

This kind of pain and irreparable regret can only be felt by the two of them.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, looked up at the waterfowl hovering at the bow of the boat, and muttered, "Bo Fu, he has been ...... all along"

……

In the northern village of Jiangbei, Cao Cao was receiving secret reports from Chang'an and Xuchang, shaking his head and laughing.

Cao Hong secretly reported that Xu Huang had two intentions, deliberately slacked off and did not fight, and was afraid that he would have contact with Liu Qi and Guan Yu earlier, and he should investigate thoroughly as soon as possible.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Xu Gongming is a good general in the world, his loyalty is longer than Yunchang, there will never be two intentions, this must be Liu Qi's child's plan to divide the line, so Zilian doesn't have to mind, and he will guard the pass with one heart." ”

The other was a secret letter sent by Chen Jiao in Xuchang, and Cao Cao handed it to Xiahoudun next to him: "Zilin has made great progress since he was humiliated in Xiangyang!" ”

When Xiahoudun heard that it was about his son, he hurriedly took it and looked at it, but one eye suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "This son dares to store grain and grass privately and reserve property, how can this be reasonable!" ”

Xiahoudun has always been thrifty, never accumulating wealth, and often taught his sons not to be greedy for money, and the eldest husband must be ambitious and worthy of Xiahou's children.

Now Xiahou Nan not only raises concubines, but also amasses wealth and reserves grain and grass, which can be big or small.

Saying that it is small is that Xiahou Nan loves money like life, and saying that it is big can even point to Xiahou Mao's bad intentions!

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Yuan let me be a little restless, Zilin has made great progress compared to the previous amusement!" ”

Xiahou hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Since I left Xuchang, this son has become more and more unscrupulous, I don't know anything about this matter, please be aware of it." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Zilin Zhizhi, I already know everything!" Do you know why he resold grain and made a lot of money? ”

Xiahoudun's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "What is not a weapon, how can you have great ambitions?" ”

"Yuan let this be wrong!" Cao Cao said angrily: "Zilin thinks that he is temporarily unable to lead the army, but he has the ambition of Xiao He, and his money and food are used by me to support my army." ”

Xiahoudun was surprised: "Is this the case? ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled: "Yuan Rang doesn't know, that Mao Lin Tang, I also secretly supported him to do it with Zihuan, it doesn't matter if he can make money, but he just happened to train the second boy, and now it seems to be quite effective." ”

"I see!" Xiahoudun breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile: "This stinky boy, even I am in the dark. ”

Cao Cao laughed and was praising the younger generation, when suddenly Cao Chun walked forward quickly and said:

"Prime Minister, the big thing is not good, Sun Quan's envoy is hanging his head on the riverside to demonstrate, and he has paid tribute to Zhou Yu as the governor of the capital and sent troops to the north."

"How can this be true? Blue-eyed Ann dares to despise me? Cao Cao was furious and ordered: "Raise the account!" ”

Later, when all the generals gathered, Cao Cao asked, "Has the Xuanwu Lake Navy been prepared?" ”

Cao Xiu replied: "All the warships have entered the river, and the navy is on standby, just waiting for the prime minister's order." ”

The Xuanwu Lake Navy has been trained for more than two years, trained by Liu Xun, the former Lujiang Taishou, with 20,000 soldiers and 800 warships, together with the Xuzhou Navy Army, all under the command of Cao Xiu.

"Good!" Cao Cao stroked his beard and sneered: "Jiangdong believes that the water army is strong, and Sun Quan wants to block me with the big river, so this time he will know that our northern army is fighting a strong water war." ”

Cao Xiu hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister rest assured, the last general will cross the river by boat, and he will be able to capture Wuhu in one day, and he will enter Niuzhu by land and water, and Stone City will be at his fingertips." ”

"Haha, strong!" Cao Cao laughed and said: "It's not in vain that I spent two years of money and food training in Jizhou. ”

Just as he was about to send an order to send troops, Xun You dissuaded: "Prime Minister, the wind and waves on the river are high, and the non-Xuanwu Lake is comparable, the people in Jiangdong are accustomed to water warfare, and they are probably not opponents on the water. ”

Liu Xun said: "The rats of Dongwu will only sneak attack, if it is a head-to-head confrontation, why should our navy be afraid?" In the past, Sun Ce deceived me to earn Lujiang, and the last general will definitely be ashamed, Sun Ce robbed me, and the last general must double it from Sun Quan. ”

This Liu Xun has an old relationship with Cao Cao, who was a subordinate of Yuan Shu, and was appointed as the Taishou of Lujiang, and after Yuan Shu's death, he was divided between Jianghuai.

Sun Ce invited him to share the property with the thieves of Yuzhangzong, and Liu Xun happily sent troops, but Sun Ce took advantage of the attack to take Lujiang, and had no choice but to defect to Cao Cao, who has always held a grudge against Sun.

Hearing that Cao Cao opened Xuanwu Lake to control the water army and gave up the Hanoi Taishou to train the water army to take revenge, Cao Cao was worried that no one in the northern army would know how to fight in the water, and Liu Xun was quite experienced in the Jianghuai River, so he ordered him to lead the troops.

Zhang Xun was anxious for revenge, Cao Xiu and a group of naval generals were also eager to ask for battle, a year ago Hefei victory, Zhang Liao with 800 troops to break Sun Quan, three or four thousand men and horses to kill 100,000 Wu army lost their armor and left in embarrassment.

This precedent made Cao Jun full of confidence, and they all thought that the southerners were cowardly, and they would collapse at the first touch.

Cao Cao saw that the army's heart was available, and said with a smile: "The blue-eyed guard, if Zhou Yu can't defend on the south bank, when will he be able to take Jiangdong?" It is better to go out to meet the enemy first, so as to test the reality of the Wu army, and then make a decision. ”

This is the first battle of the navy, Cao Cao is also quite looking forward to it, and ordered Liu Xun to be the front, leading the Xuanwu Lake navy to attack Wuhu Water Village, Cao Xiu led the army to respond, and personally went to a reef on the river bank to watch the battle.

When the generals came to the shore, they saw the water rippling, and on the hazy river in the distance, the tall black shadows of the Soochow warships were swimming back and forth, like giant beasts.

Xun You and the others all looked solemn, and Cao Cao also frowned secretly, he spent a huge amount of money to build a warship, and transported it all the way from Hebei to Huainan, but it was still half weak.

However, at this time, the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent, if Liu Xun can have the strength to fight with the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and then continue to build and expand the ship, and then can't take Jingzhou, can he still cross the Yangtze River?

Liu Xun drove the boat first, and just after crossing the center of the river, the Wu army's sentry ship had already discovered it, and immediately divided a fleet to meet it.

The two armies met on the river, set sail to stabilize the fleet, Liu Xun stood on the bow of the ship with a knife, and shouted: "I am Liu Xun is also!" Sun Ce attacked my Lujiang, although the person died, but the revenge must be avenged, and asked Sun Quan Xiaoer to send him to death. ”

It was Han Dang who sent troops to meet the enemy, and he was about to sign up, when he heard Liu Xun insulting Sun Ce, he was furious, and with a move, the warship was started, and it crashed straight into Cao Jun.

Liu Xun was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take the helm and wander away, preparing to surround them and shoot them with random arrows.

I saw Han Dang take off his bow and arrows, step on the side of the boat with one foot, wait for the big ship to approach quickly, bend the bow and arrows, and shoot straight at Liu Xun.

"Despicable-and sneak attack...... Liu Xun was shocked and angry, he didn't expect the other party to say that he would fight, and he didn't even set up the boat.

Han Dang didn't care about his shouting, his archery skills were second to none in the Wu army, three arrows were sent out in succession, Liu Xun only dodged two arrows, and was shot by one arrow, and fell on his back with a miserable howl.
