Chapter 188

The river is boundless.

On the Yangtze River, there are warships in array. On each warship, there are big black flags. On the flag, a huge yellow character was embroidered.

The fleet of warships is the water army of Jingzhou.

On the deck of the command ship, Pang Tong was dressed in a black robe and a cloak. The cold wind came, and Pang Tong could not help rubbing his slightly stiff cheek.

Beside him stood a ferocious looking and sharp eyed general in his fifties.

His temples were white and frosty.

That pair of eyes, but it is the essence of flashing.

This person is Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia.

Pang Tong's eyes narrowed slightly and said in a deep voice: "Huang Taishou, according to the information sent back by the sentinel, Zhou Yu's water army is out. Soon, the two sides will meet on the water

Huang Zu's voice was very forceful, and he said in a loud voice: "Zhou Yu, child, is nothing. If it wasn't for your request, I would have even taught Zhou Yu a lesson. It's just too much for Huang kouxiao to open his mouth to attack Jiangxia. "

Pang Tong laughed and said, "in fact, there is no need for Huang Taishou to fight with Zhou Yu. If you win Zhou Yu, you won't win. If Zhou Yu is lucky enough to win, it will have an impact on Huang's prestige. "

"Ha ha ha..."

Huang Zu nodded after listening.

Pang Tong's words are in Huang Zu's heart.

Who is Huang Zu? He was the one who set up a plot to shoot Sun Jian. He thinks that he has excellent martial arts skills and excellent strategy, and he doesn't pay attention to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. In fact, Huang Zu's ability to govern the army was indeed outstanding. Sun Quan repeatedly attacked Jiang Xia, but he failed in the end.

In history, Huang Zu was killed because his general Chen was killed just before the battle, and the morale of the army broke up, so that he was defeated like a mountain. Huang Zu was killed in the process of retreating.

"Newspaper!"

On the lookout tower, a soldier roared: "my Lord, there are warships 100 feet ahead."

Hearing the words, Huang Zu warned: "Zhou Yu's water army is coming."

Huang Zu stares at the river. Not long ago, there are warships, boats and Zou Ge on the river. Zhou Yu's water army was rapidly approaching.

It wasn't long, and the two sides were arrayed on the river.

However, 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 know when Liu Xiu's boat would arrive.

Therefore, neither of the two water forces acted rashly in the confrontation.

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

The wind of the river is blowing and hunting is making a sound.

Wearing armor and a golden helmet, Zhou Yu asked, "do you have any news from Liu Xiu, de Mou?"

"Not yet," Cheng said

Zhou Yu nodded and his eyes fell on the Jingzhou water army.

Jingzhou water army is also an array. The distance from Jiangdong water army is about 60 Zhang. The Jiangdong water army approached, while the Jingzhou water army retreated. The distance between the two sides was always about 60 Zhang.

Half an hour is fleeting.

A big ship suddenly appeared in the rear and ran to the direction of Jiangdong water army.

After seeing this, Zhou Yu knew that Liu Xiu's boat was coming, and ordered: "send an order to Gan Ning to attack." At the first order, the soldiers holding the flag on the command ship waved the flag. When Gan Ning saw it, he immediately accelerated to the Jingzhou Navy.

At the same time, the warships of Lingtong, huanggai and handang retreated rapidly and approached Liu Xiu's warship.

Huang Zu saw that the other side launched an attack. He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and ordered: "withdraw!" When the flag swayed, the Jingzhou water army immediately turned around and retreated.

This scene shocked Zhou Yu on the command ship.

How is that possible?

When Liu Xiu's boat arrived, how could the other party retreat directly? No matter Liu Xiu's life or death?

Unreasonable!

"No, there's fraud on the boat in the rear. Liu Xiu is definitely not on the boat."

In Zhou Yu's heart, there was a bad feeling. He looked back and saw Ling Tong, Huang Gai and Han Dang get close to Liu Xiu's ship. The board is on the two ships, but Liu Xiu's ship has no soldiers to resist. Ling Tong, Huang Gai and Han Dang easily board the ship.

Zhou Yu looked ahead again. The retreat speed of Jingzhou army was extremely fast. Gan Ning went to catch up, but he couldn't catch up. Especially after the distance, Gan Ning did not dare to pursue alone, so he had to retreat back.

Two quarters of an hour later, Gan Ning returned to the deck and reported: "governor of Dadu, the Jingzhou army retreated without fighting and could not catch up."

Zhou Yu nodded, did not open his mouth and waited quietly.

Soon, Ling Tong, Huang Gai and Han Dang took Liu's men to the deck. A man knelt on the ground, trembling, very afraid.

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

"I am!"

A fat, pale middle-aged man spoke.

Zhou Yu asked, "where are the original people on board?"The middle-aged man said, "my Lord, I don't know anything. Two days ago, I met several people who said they would give me a boat and give me 100000 yuan. The only condition is to let me sail to the junction of Chaisang county and Jiangxia county. "

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, "what does the other party look like?"

The middle-aged man thought about it carefully and replied, "I'm talking to a young man who is very dignified. He was dressed in a white suit, and he was very noble. He was accompanied by a big middle-aged man. Besides, there is a middle-aged man who is not good-looking. "

Hearing this, Zhou Yu concluded that it was Liu Xiu and his party and asked, "what about people? Where did they go? "

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know. They gave the boat to me and left. They went by land, not by water

"Zhou Yu sighed softly

Ling tongdeling released the middle-aged people, as well as the rest.

Zhou Yu looked at Huang Gai, Ling Tong and others and sighed, "this time, I was cheated by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu asked Huang Zu to line up at the border, ostensibly making a false appearance of greeting, so that the governor's attention was focused on the river. In this way, Liu Xiu quietly got off the ship and broke out by land. If the governor's expectation is not bad, Liu Xiu arranged for the army to meet him at the juncture of Chaisang and Jiangxia. "

Huang Gai said: "Dudu, we immediately turn around and go to intercept."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "it's too late. Everything is too late." He looked at the direction of Huang Zu's retreat. There was still a trace on the river. The other side had already withdrawn to Jiangxia county.

At this time, in Zhou Yu's heart, there was also a sense of powerlessness.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu was also teased.

"Liu Xiu, you win."

In Zhou Yu's heart, he said in secret. Immediately, he said in secret: "this time, you win. But next time, I will defeat you and set foot in Jingzhou. "

Zhou Yu is not a man who easily admits defeat. He made a wrong judgment this time, but he will never admit defeat.

Cheng Pu sighed and said, "since Liu Xiu has arranged this one, it's definitely impossible to catch up next. If we lose this time, we don't have to think about Liu Xiu any more. Next, we will 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 tell the main bus to replace him?"

Zhou Yu felt embarrassed when he heard the speech. Lu Su was not only an official of Jiangdong, but also a close friend of Zhou Yu. The relationship between Lu Su and Zhou Yu is impeccable. Now that Lu Su is arrested, Zhou Yu is also anxious.

Zhou Yu said: "as for the arrangement of Zijing, the governor will write a letter to the Lord and ask the Lord to coordinate, so as to let Liu Biao order Liu Xiu to release Zijing. It must be impossible to take back Zijing directly from Liu Xiu's hands. We can only use this method. "

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others heard the speech and nodded yes.

Liu Xiu is as cunning as a fox, and his means emerge in endlessly, which makes Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others headache.

Zhou Yu turned around and suddenly thought of Tai Shi Ci, who was in Yuzhang county.

From the analysis of a series of events, Liu Xiu arranged everything in order. So Liu Xiu left you county. Although the troops of Changsha County were empty, Liu Xiu might have arranged it properly.

Is it Liu Xiu's trap for taishici to invade Ancheng county and reach Changsha County?

For a moment, Zhou Yu was not sure about the situation.

After returning to the barracks, Zhou Yu immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Yuzhang county. He wrote down the recent events clearly, and asked Tai Shici and sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture, to be careful and avoid falling into the trap.
