Even though Gongsun Zan led his troops to support Changsha County, Gongsun Zan never thought that before he arrived, Zhang Xian had already died of an illness, and the people of Changsha had co-opted Zhang Xian's son, Zhang Shou, to defend the city. Because of this unforeseen event, Liu Biao's army took advantage of the panic and unease of the Changsha City, and fiercely attacked the Changsha City, ultimately taking it down, and then quickly arranged defensive arrangements. Seeing that the other side had tightly guarded the Changsha and his own cavalry was not suitable to attack the city, Gongsun Zan could only follow another order and retreat to Wu Chang, using Liu Shui to temporarily protect the other paths.

Gongsun Zan sent people to inform me of this news, and I was so anxious to not eat, to not be able to drink, to not be able to sleep, my nerves were all tense, so I gathered people to discuss it.

I put my hands together on the table, my head close to my folded hands, my head bowed so that no one would see my haggard, helpless expression. The personal guard standing behind me read everything that Gongsun Zan had reported to everyone present, and everyone was stunned when they heard it. I slowly raised my head and looked around. "Is there any good idea?"

Silence! It was still so quiet that even a pin dropping onto the ground could be heard. The absolute silence was almost suffocating. I looked around at everyone and saw that they were still silent, and I felt so helpless.

I could only voice out my own thoughts. "General Han Cheng is unable to protect himself. I have no confidence in protecting our retreat!" Even if we can really protect our retreat path, with the food lines disturbed, the amount of food that can be delivered to the army is extremely small. It would be very difficult for us to defeat the powerful Liu Bijun! If something happens, it's a decision. I decide to retreat with the whole army! "" I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I …. "Even if we have to suffer heavy losses because of this, at the very least, we will not be completely annihilated!" I felt very heavy about this decision.

Although everyone had already thought of this painful decision, it was still like a thunder striking on their heads. Failure was hard for everyone to accept, hard to accept …

"Ai!" I sighed to the sky and once again suffered a crushing defeat in front of me. This time, my immaturity was clearly displayed in the contest between Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and I had completely lost this battle of intelligence to them.

He did not know how much he would lose in this big retreat, or how many soldiers he would lose. If his originally weak army were to be defeated in this battle, not only would he be unable to protect the Jingzhou and the other countries that he had seized, Liu Biao would also be able to invade the Jiao Prefecture. It would be difficult for him to recover in the future, but he really couldn't think of a good way to resolve this desperate situation.

"As I look up at the night sky, I can't help but sigh." Brother! "Brother!" When he heard the familiar voice, he was shocked. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xuan Liu had stopped in front of him, and said: "Brother, I came here under the orders of General Han Cheng to inform the Lord, General Han Cheng has already broken free from the enemy's grasp and is moving closer to Wu Chang!"

Hearing that, he joyfully pulled on Xuan Liu's hand and said: "Let's go! We will go to the Lord together! " Just now, Xuan Liu and I had entered my handsome tent. Xuan Liu then reported to me: "Master, General Han Cheng is heading towards Wu Chang at the moment! It won't be long until we reunite with the Lord! "

"Oh!" Han Cheng got rid of Liu Biao's restraints? What are the details! When the time comes, Luo Yuan will always defend, so quickly tell me! " Xuan Liu explained in detail: "The General Han Cheng used a deceptive tactic to attack Xin Yang from the east, and said, 'In the future, there will be a good stronghold that we can use to support Changsha', thus attracting Liu Biao's troops. They then used a strange army to rush to the edge of the water supply, and without anyone realizing it, captured Liu Biao's dozen soldiers that were guarding there, and obtained three yachts. Sigh! What a pity! "What a pity!"

Looking at Xuan Liu's regretful expression, I felt confused and confused. What was he regretting? And what was Han Cheng doing by sending troops to provide water? What's the use of getting three yachts? I stared at Xuan Liu, waiting for his reply.

Xuan Liu saw that I was waiting for him to explain the rest of what happened, so he cleared his throat and continued, "We have three yachts, and we found out from the soldiers that these three yachts were used to cross the river and request for the enemy to send out troops to transport them. What a pity! Since the enemy noticed that something was wrong, they all turned around and headed back. Those who were close to the river didn't have time to escape. Sigh! General Han has ordered the soldiers who can drive boats with good water properties to come here and listen to his orders. I believe they will arrive soon! "

I heard Xuan Liu's words and sighed, the number of boats here is at most seven, it's just too little! However, it's still better than nothing. I still need ships to get through the Liushui. It's a good thing these ships can carry more soldiers! Minimizing the damage is exactly what I'm going to do now. As soon as I thought of this, I immediately ordered, "Someone come! "Send people to search everywhere for fishing boats or merchant ships. What we need most right now are boats!"

Someone had gone to carry out my orders. At this time, Cheng Zheng stood up and said: "My lord, in my heart, I have a bold idea, I don't know if it is feasible or not!" I looked at him, frowning, and knew he must be talking about something he wasn't sure of, or he wouldn't be frowning, and now I wanted to hear it and say, "All right! Zi Hong, just say whatever you want to say! "

The Liu Biao Water Control Army," he said slowly, "and the battleship have been measuring the number of ships in the army for thousands of years. Not to mention the number of boats that are used by detectives or patrols, such as the boat or the ship, there are simply too many of them. The feature of the Liu Biao Water Army is that there are many large ships, and their battles are mostly large ships, while the ones that we can search for are only yachts or fishing boats left behind by Liu Biao. It was true that large ships clashing against small boats held the absolute advantage in a war! And Liu Bijun established the water army, but we do not have the water army, this is we fall behind them! That was why Kui Liang and his gang were fearless due to their advantage in the water battle! "However...

"But what? Zi Hong, quickly tell us! " I looked straight at them and continued, "The advantage is too obvious, and we are at an absolute disadvantage, so we are already in a hopeless situation. Liu Biao and the others will definitely be proud and underestimate their opponents, and this is the opportunity that they have given us! They took advantage of the fact that they were underestimating their opponent, making full use of the small boat's fast speed to have a good fight! Maybe we have a chance to win, even if it's a slim chance. "

I stared at him. "How?" I asked. Zi Hong, please speak your mind! " He just said, "My lord, can you give me a day's time to think it over? Then I can complete it and present it to my lord!"

"Yes!" I finally agreed, but I was very clear on this point. I told him what I was thinking, "Zi Hong, how many people in our army can you guarantee that know how to sail a boat and also know how to swim? "The majority of our troops are formed by the various powers, and Lu Zhan is not afraid of anyone. When it comes to water war, I have no confidence at all. I believe the soldiers will no longer have any confidence!"

This was something he did not dare think about. He thought of something strange and thought about when the number of people in the Jiao Prefecture was less than the number of people in the opponent and their combat power was not enough, and replied: "My lord, the terrain of the Jiao Prefecture is more like the river, the citizens of the Jiao Prefecture know more about water. Although the number of people that can drive a ship is small, it cannot be said that there are none. Also, Liu Yao, Wang Lang and the other soldiers from the original lower forces, as well as the southerners from our army that know how to swim, must be quite a lot, so we have picked from among them to build our first water army! "Let's finish our adventure!"

Li Xiong stood up and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry! Speaking of swimming, I won't lose to anyone! I like to swim and play by the river when I was young. I grew up in the water. I'm not afraid! I'll be responsible for selecting those who are able to swim! If our army were to form a water army in the future, maybe I can even become the head instructor! "

I still don't understand how to implement that risky idea of mine, so I don't have the determination to make it happen. But I can only prepare to retreat while I do the other side, hoping that I can successfully make it out of this predicament. There is hope that even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will still grasp onto it tightly. Even if the chances weren't high! I want to have a fight or give it a try!

I have already ordered my men to prepare for the retreat and the battle with Liu Biao. Just as I was writing down his plan and giving it to me, I nodded my head repeatedly. The idea was very strange. There was still hope for victory. Hopefully, being small was better than nothing! I'm going to take a gamble!
