( ) With a long voice, the herald galloped in.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, because the herald was not affiliated with the navy, and it was obvious that something big had happened elsewhere.

"At this time, the battle in Jiangdong should have started, all places are safe and sound, why come here for no reason?" Zhou Yu kept guessing in his mind, but unfortunately found nothing.

"Where are you subordinate? Why are you here?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Report to the general! This subordinate is the envoy of the lord's department, and is specially ordered by the lord to come here to send orders to the three generals." The visitor said seriously.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai all changed colors.

When they came back to their senses, the three of them hurriedly stood up, bowed and said, "Zhou Yu (Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai) obey the order!"

"My lord has an order! Order General Zhou Yu to lead the water army and go down the great river to find opportunities to capture Chaisang." Then he took out a letter and offered it with both hands.

Zhou Yu took the letter and opened it, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He handed the letter to Jiang Qin casually, then turned to the messenger and asked, "Does your lord have any other orders?"

"My lord said: Poyang and Yuzhang have been properly arranged, and it only depends on how General Zhou uses his troops."

The contents of the letter flashed through Zhou Yu's mind, and the joy on his face grew stronger.

"Okay! If you reply to the lord, Zhou Yu will definitely live up to his expectations." Zhou Yu is much more tactful now. If it was before, he might have issued a military order on the spot, vowing to take down Chaisang.

"Your subordinates must bring them." The visitor bowed slightly, bid farewell and left.

Zhou Yu sent it out in person.

In the revolving hall, Zhou Yu said to Jiang and Zhou Zhou: "You two generals! The opportunity for our navy to make contributions has finally come."

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were more delighted than Zhou Yu. They had been training the navy for two years and they hadn't fought a battle yet. One can imagine the longing in their hearts.

Immediately, the two ignored the conflict with Zhou Yu, and said in unison: "But according to the general's order!"

"Okay!" The two were very respectful, and Zhou Yu was also slightly happy in his heart, and ordered: "Order the three armies to set off south overnight and head straight for Chaisang."

"Ah?" Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai both opened their mouths wide and looked at Zhou Yu in surprise.

Depart overnight?Too hasty?

Zhou Tai bluntly said harshly, "General! I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Our army is unprepared, and food, grass, and ordnance have not yet been raised. How can we send troops?" After speaking, he cast a disdainful glance at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu also noticed Zhou Tai's gaze, and said indifferently: "Soldiers are expensive, how can we delay? The army has been training for a long time, and there has never been a moment of slack, so there is no need to worry about armaments. As for the food and grass, all you need to do is take away all the food in the camp. That's it, no need to call elsewhere."

Jiang Qin frowned and said: "General! The food and grass in the camp is only enough for the army to feed for three months. Our army will go south, and the journey will take more than ten days. Are you sure that the general will defeat Chaisang in less than three months?"

"Why does it take three months to break the chai sang? One month is enough!" Zhou Yu said indifferently: "You two generals just do what you want. If this battle is not won, I will bind myself in front of the Lord and wait to be dealt with."

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were skeptical, but Zhou Yu was the main general, even if they had objections, there was nothing they could do about it, not to mention that Zhou Yu was so confident, the two couldn't help but believe a little bit.

"In that case! We will obey the general's order." Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai looked at each other and replied in unison.

After the two left, Zhou Yu found his confidant.

This person's name is Zhou Yan, and he is a servant of the Zhou family. He is loyal and loyal, and Zhou Yu trusts him very much.

"Uncle Yan! You are like this... This matter is related to the success or failure of the war, so it must be done well." Zhou Yu secretly instructed.

Zhou Yan took the order and went.

That night, [-] sailors boarded the boat, drove out of the water village in the dark, and plunged into the vast river.

……

In Yuzhang City, since the previous battle, Yuan Jun's offensive has gradually slowed down. Most of the time it was due to crossbowmen from both sides fighting, and of course Yuan Jun's catapult bombardment, but the close combat never happened again.

At this moment, a news came from Poyang Lake, which made Liu Yao panic.

In the prefect's mansion, everyone gathered.

"Mr. Kuai Liang! Yuan Jun is preparing warships in Poyang Lake. Obviously, he intends to cross Poyang Lake and attack Chaisang. What should we do?" Liu Yao looked anxious.

The death of Fan Neng made Liu Yao completely give up on the people under his command. Now, he can only pin all his hopes on Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang calmly said: "Duke Ming, don't worry! My lord has ordered General Su Fei to seal off Poyang Lake, and Yuan Shu has no sailors under his command, so there is absolutely no possibility of smuggling there."

Yuan Shu's formation of the navy was very secretive, and the army never left Chaohu Lake, so Kuai Liang naturally didn't know about it.

"Hmph! Yuan Shu is nothing more than that!" Kuai Liang secretly disdainful, he had already anticipated the plan to attack Chaisang and made all preparations.

Liu Yao said gratefully, "Brother Jing Sheng is righteous, and I will repay you in the future."

"Thank you Ming Gong!" Kuai Liang said politely.

After a pause, Kuai Liang reminded: "Duke Ming of Poyang Lake can rest assured, but the banks of the Ganshui River need to be strictly guarded to prevent Yuan Jun from attacking the west and sneaking across the Ganshui River."

Kuai Liang is quite confident about his navy, but he has no confidence in Liu Yao.

Moreover, Kuai Liang also has selfish intentions.

You must know that for Jingzhou, Luling is more important than Chaisang. If Luling is lost, Jingnan will definitely be captured by Yuan Shu, which is indisputable; but Chaisang is not the case. Even if it is lost, Jiangxia will be ahead Resist without fear.

Liu Yao naturally didn't know what Kuai Liang was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir! I have already ordered people to block the banks of the Ganshui River, even if Yuan Jun spreads his wings, it will be difficult for him to fly over."

Kuai Liang nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said: "These days, Yuan Jun's offensive is gradually slowing down, and the pressure on Yuzhang City is not great. Duke Ming can put all his attention on Poyang Lake and Ganshui to prevent accidents."

"Thank you sir for reminding me!" Liu Yao replied directly without thinking.

Kuai Liang smiled, a complex light flashed in his eyes, and said secretly: "Although this person is incompetent and has a narrow vision, he is not without merit. At least he can listen to good words."

For this, Kuai Liang is also quite fortunate, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, if Yuzhang is lost, how can Jingzhou survive alone?

……

For the next few days, inside and outside Yuzhang City, the two armies fought tepidly, waiting for the results of other battlefields.

On this day, Yuan Shu summoned Xun You, Feng Ji and Jia Xu.

"Calculating the days, the navy is about to land, and the attack on Chaisang is just around the corner. I'll make preparations in the morning!"

How did Yuan Shu know that Zhou Yu ordered the army to set off the day after the order arrived, and they had landed ashore two days ago and headed straight for Chaisang.

Xun You said: "Don't worry, my lord! Once Chaisang is lost, Yuzhang will be shaken, and our army will take advantage of the situation to break through the city."

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, turned to Jia Xu, and asked, "What's Wen He's opinion?"

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and said: "Chai Sang is an important town in Yuzhang County. He has accumulated countless grain and grass. With it, he can sweep all over the country and completely isolate Yuzhang City. My subordinates think that the lord should first destroy the Lius along the Ganshui River. Army, stationed troops, and after conquering Chaisang in this way, Liu Yao will be the turtle in the urn."

What a vicious strategy, this is to completely cut off Liu Yao's retreat!

Xun You frowned and said, "Although Wen He's plan is good, it can completely solve all hidden dangers, but if Liu Yao is forced too urgently to defend Yuzhang City, wouldn't it be worth the loss for us? In my opinion, it is better to let him cross the river, or else Do something else."

What the two of them said made sense, Yuan Shu hesitated and looked at Feng Ji.

Feng Ji also had a different opinion, saying: "My lord! Our army along the Ganshui River can ignore it, use this to paralyze Liu Yao, and then ambush halfway, we will definitely win a big victory."

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Yuan Tu's plan is very clever."

Feng Ji said modestly: "My lord, I have won the prize! Ji is just combining Wenhe and Gongda's plan, which is really a coincidence."

"Hehe! Yuan Tu is too modest." Yuan Shu smiled, turned to Xun You and Jia Xu, and asked, "Does Gong Da and Wen He agree with Yuan Tu's plan?"

"The subordinates have no objection!" Xun You said.

Jia Xu nodded slightly, and agreed: "Yuan Tu's plan is excellent! After our army ambushed, we can take advantage of the situation to pursue and drive Liu Jun all the way down the Ganshui River. It is impossible to say that we can catch all of them!"

All three agreed, and the matter was settled in this way.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shu ordered Wei Yan and Lejiu to lead an army each, and secretly sneaked across Yuzhang City to ambush.

Everything is well arranged, just wait for the result of the Chaisang war.
