Fan City…
The moon was dark and the wind was strong. A fire suddenly started.
Fan City was in chaos.
Countless soldiers saw the fire in the southeast…
Cao Cao had taken Jingzhou and was in high spirits as he rewarded the three armies. Most of the civil and military officials in Cao Cao's camp had drunk quite a bit.
Only a small number of generals who never drank were not drunk.
Yu Jin and Li Dian did not drink. They slept until late at night. Just as they were sleepy, the sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout Fan City. The two of them woke up and instantly picked up the weapons beside them.
Could it be that a strong enemy had attacked Fan City at night?
When the two of them walked out of the tent, they saw flames soaring into the sky in the southeast!
An ominous thought immediately lingered in the minds of the two of them.
Southeast, Fanyang Lake water stronghold…
The two of them immediately thought of the Fanyang Lake water stockade that their lord was building. That water stockade had just been built and was used to train the navy. There was a lot of wood piled there!
Yu Jin and Li Dian met each other on horseback.
"Quickly go and find the lord!" Li Dian said.”
When Li Dian and Yu Jin arrived at the prefect's manor, Li Dian said,""Quickly report to the lord that there's an urgent military situation!”
When the guard heard Li Dian's words, his face turned pale.""My lord has drunk a lot of wine and is still drunk.”
"Then go in and wake up the lord!"
Hearing Li Dian's words, the guard said in fear,""General Li, it's not that we don't want to wake up the lord, but the lord has instructed that after the lord is asleep, no one is allowed to take half a step closer.”
"Emergency military intelligence!" After Li Dian said this, Yu Jin grabbed Li Dian." Xun Lingjun isn't here at the moment. You can look for General Xu Chu. General Xu Chu can enter and leave the lord's tent freely. If you and I enter rashly…"
Yu Jin did not continue.
Cao Cao was naturally suspicious. If he entered rashly, even if it was to report an urgent military situation, he would easily be suspected by Cao Cao. If he caused a fatal disaster, it would be bad.
"Then are we just going to watch the Fanyang Lake water stronghold be attacked?”
Li Dian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"I don't have to worry so much now. I'll enter now!”
Li Dian decided to take the risk. He had to wake up his lord and take charge of the situation.
Seeing that he could not stop Li Dian, Yu Jin could only let him in.
Seeing this, the guard could only accompany Li Dian in, just in case…
"My lord, wake up!"
"My lord, wake up!"
Li Dian shook Cao Cao's body, but Cao Cao was too drunk to wake up.
"What should we do?"
Li Dian saw that he could not wake up his lord. After walking out of Cao Cao's bedroom and discussing with Yu Jin, he could only lead five thousand troops to Poyang Lake.
……
On Poyang Lake, the brocade sails fluttered, and figures flashed. The shining sharp knives massacred the Cao soldiers guarding the new water stronghold.
The leader was wearing a fish-scale robe and his eyes were like lightning. He was the Great General of the Eastern Wu Army, Gan Ning, who was also known as the Jinfan Thief.
Gan Ning had followed pirates since he was a child. He was a brave warrior and was especially good at archery.
He had once joined the Huang Zu and killed the Eastern Wu General Ling Cao.
After that, Huang Zu left Jingzhou and joined Sun Quan's camp. He led his troops to attack Jingzhou and killed Huang Zu.
Gan Ning was good at fighting and fleeing.
The new army's stronghold was already on fire, and Gan Ning knew that he couldn't stay here for long. With a whistle, he led his men to retreat.
He came like a ghost and left like the wind, his whereabouts mysterious.
This time, the Viceroy split his forces into two groups, advancing on land and water.
Zhou Yu led the Jiangdong navy to attack Jiangxia.
Gan Ning led his troops into Jingzhou and attacked the water stronghold of the new army in Poyang Lake.
……
When Yu Jin and Li Dian led their troops to the new army's water stronghold at Fanyang Lake, the 3,000 soldiers guarding the new army's water stronghold had all been killed and fled. The wood used to build the new army's water stronghold had all been burned.
However, who had ambushed the new army's water stronghold at Fanyang Lake? He found a few surviving Cao Cao's soldiers and asked them. They had already lost their minds, crying and crying as they encountered ghosts.
Li Dian and Yu Jin were guarding Fanyang Lake, waiting for dawn. The enemy was in the dark, so they did not dare to pursue rashly.
……
Early in the morning, the fog by the river had already dispersed. A dozen fast boats were sailing through the wind and waves. Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat, shining brightly.
Sneak attacks were a piece of cake for Gan Ning. He had fought countless battles and had always focused on sneak attacks.
This sneak attack on Cao Cao's Poyang Lake water stronghold would definitely stop him from attacking River East.
As soon as Gan Ning entered the water stronghold, he discovered that many of the boats were riddled with arrows.
Gan Ning realized that the Viceroy's ambush on Jiangxia had been foiled.
After entering the stronghold, he saw the soldiers of River East, dejected and dejected.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Gan Ning grabbed Zhou Tai's shoulder.
Zhou Tao shook his head. You can enter the main tent!
Gan Ning let go of Zhou Tai's shoulder and entered the tent. Zhou Yu's armor was still covered in blood.
In the tent, the military doctor was preparing to remove the arrows from Cheng Pu's body…
"General Cheng Pu has been shot several times…"
" This arrow shot from the back, I'm afraid…"
"Afraid of what…"
"I'm afraid! Please forgive me, Viceroy!"
The military doctor kneeled on the ground, silent out of fear.
The military doctor kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
There was nothing he could do…
……
Gan Ning was stunned.
"Old General Cheng Pu…"
Gan Ning, who never shed tears, clenched his fists with bloodshot eyes.
"Old General, I will avenge you!”
"Viceroy, who injured the old general?”
Zhou Yu raised his head with difficulty and squeezed out two words from between his teeth,""Xu Chu!"
"Little Xu Chu! I will definitely chop off your head and avenge the old general!”
Gan Ning didn't ask how Zhou Yu had lost the battle. He turned and strode out of the tent!
"What are you doing!"
"Viceroy, I want to kill my way back to Jing State and avenge the old general!”
"Come back! Are you going to die?!" Zhou Yu angrily rebuked, but the unruly Gan Ning left the main tent and was about to lead the army to attack Jingzhou!
"Men! Tie Gan Ning up and lock him up!"
At Zhou Yu's command, soldiers immediately came forward and tied Gan Ning up.
"Viceroy, aren't you going to avenge the old general?”
Tears streamed down Gan Ning's face as he was tied to Zhou Yu.
"General Gan, you can't act on impulse. Cao Cao's army is powerful. If you go alone, you will be sending yourself to death! Don't worry, I will avenge the old general. I will kill Xu Chu and Cai Mao!”
Gan Ning wasn't willing!
When Gan Ning was chased out of Jingzhou by the Yellow Emperor, he was chased by the army. It was General Cheng Pu who saved Gan Ning. When Gan Ning entered Jiangdong, the officials of Jiangdong all thought that he was a bandit, cunning, and rebellious.
It was also because Cheng Pu had used his life to protect Gan Ning that Jiang Dong had allowed him to stay and continue to command the eight hundred Jinfan bandits under Zhou Yu.
Although Gan Ning had a wild personality, under Zhou Yu, he was loyal and never slacked off.
Because he was recommended by General Cheng Pu with his life.
He could not let the old general down!
Gan Ning was tied up and kneeling in front of Cheng Pu's bed. His toenails dug into his flesh and blood trickled down.
"Today's revenge! I, Zhou Yu, will repay him a hundredfold! If I don't take revenge, I swear I'm not human!"
……
In Liu Bei's camp.
Liu Bei had just woken up when Guan Yu hurriedly walked in from outside, his face solemn.
"Second brother, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Big Brother, the scouts just reported that Zhou Yu sneaked an attack on Jiangxia last night and was ambushed by 100,000 soldiers from the Jing State Navy. He suffered heavy losses and Old General Cheng Pu died!”
"What?!"
Liu Bei jumped up from the bed. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and hurriedly ran outside, buttoning his shirt as he ran.
"Advisor! Military Advisor!"
Liu Bei went to find Zhuge Liang.
Such a major event would not only determine the fate of River East, but also Liu Bei's fate.
When Liu Bei entered Zhuge Liang's tent, he saw Zhuge Liang staring at a map.
"Military Advisor, Zhou Yu attacked Jiangxia last night…"
Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand to stop Liu Bei from continuing. He was still staring at the map in front of him, his fingers moving on the map.
"The defeat of Xinye was because the Cao army knew our intentions, so they intercepted and killed us…"
" Jingzhou has been lost. The army will be stationed in Jingzhou. Within three months, we won't be able to go south. After three months, we will be unstoppable…"
"Surround Wei to save Zhao, avoid its edge!"
Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's feather fan fell and covered the map in front of him.
Zhuge Liang turned to Liu Bei and said," My lord, I already know that Zhou Yu was ambushed. However, we only lost 8,000 soldiers. The Jiangdong Navy still has 100,000 soldiers. It did not damage the foundation."”
"Cheng Pu's death might affect morale.”Liu Bei said worriedly.
Zhuge Liang shook his head." If it were anywhere else, the death of a general might affect morale. But under Zhou Yu's command!" That is, the mournful soldiers will win!"
"My lord, you don't have to worry. In this battle, our army and Jiangdong are united in spirit and will fight against Cao Cao together!”
Seeing Zhuge Liang's expression, Liu Bei finally relaxed.
"Did you expect Zhou Yu to attack Jiang Xia?”
" My lord, if it were me, I would also launch a sneak attack on Jiangxia. However, I would not covet Jiangxia's money and food. Gongjin is too greedy. If he did not covet Jiangxia's money and food, he would burn Jiangxia down and have enough time to retreat..."
"However, it can be seen that River East needs provisions and weapons…"
After Zhuge Liang said this, he was silent for a moment…
"It's Xu Chu again!"
" There must be a master behind him. This person is definitely not from Cao Cao's camp. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Xu Chu who killed Cheng Pu, but Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun…"
Zhuge Liang had already walked out of the shadow of his defeat in Xinye.
The spectators see more clearly than those involved.
Zhuge Liang watched the battle from the sidelines. After analyzing the situation clearly, he made a decision.
Liu Bei remembered that Zhuge Liang was looking at the map when he first entered the tent.
"Do you have any plans?”
"I don't have any plans," Zhuge Liang said.”
"However, I'm going to the River East water village. I'm going to see Zhou Gongjin.”
Zhuge Liang did not tell Liu Bei about his plan. He had to make sure that it was foolproof.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the lord to achieve his great cause!
