Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 420
Dongting...

"Urgent report..." A guard soldier hurried into the city lord's meeting hall with a scroll in his hand.

"Military division, there is an urgent report from Jingzhou, please take a look."

Xu Shu took the scroll, unfolded it, and his face changed suddenly, even his body couldn't help shaking.

"Quickly, hurry up and send the leaders of Dongting to come to the meeting hall to discuss matters."

……

"Leaders, according to the detailed work we arranged in Jingzhou, there is news. Liu Biao, Liu Bei has assembled an army of 50 troops and rushed to Dongting." Xu Shu glanced at the generals in the hall and said.

"what?"

The expressions of the generals suddenly changed.

"Mr. Yuan Zhi, is this news serious?" Although Gan Ning also knew that Xu Shu couldn't make fun of this matter, he still couldn't help asking.

"It is absolutely true that they divided their troops into three groups. One was led by Wenpin and Deng Zhi, and they went to Wuling. The other was led by Guan Yu and Cai Mao, and they went straight to Changsha. Liu Bei and Jiyue led an army of 30. Advance by land and water, head straight for Dongting." Xu Shu said.

"Hmph! These despicable people want to bully my Dongting while my elder brother is away. We must show him some color." Gan Ning was indignant.

"Yes, we can't let this group of people underestimate our Dongting," a group of leaders stood up one after another.

"Everyone," Xu Shu stopped everyone's discussion, "the enemy is approaching fiercely, we must not take it lightly. That Zhang Fei, Guan Yu is very powerful. It is said that my junior brother Zhuge Liang also joined Liu Bei. My junior brother is more intelligent than me. Soldiers are like gods, so we should be more careful."

"Ma Yuanyi and Xing Daorong guarding Changsha must not be the opponents of Guan Yu and Cai Hao. Ma Zhi and Qin Che, you two will lead an army of [-] sailors and carry ten king-class warships to cruise in the waters near Changsha. In addition, Xing Daorong is instructed to only stick to the city and never go out of the city to fight, otherwise, he will be dealt with by military law."

"Yes!" Ma Zhi and Qin Che clasped their hands together.

"Jiang Qin, you lead an elite naval force of [-], [-] king-class warships, and control the Dongting Sanjiang Estuary. You must not let a Jingzhou warship enter."

"Yes!" Jiang Qin had to be ordered to leave.

"Guan Hai, you lead [-] infantry to guard the Tianxing City on the north bank of Dongting. You can only stick to it and not fight."

"Yes," Guan Hai ordered.

"Ju Yi, you have led [-] dead soldiers to stay in Xingyue City to wait for orders, ready to support the nearby cities at any time."

"Yes!"

"Xingba, the defense of the four southern cities of Dongting is entrusted to you."

"Okay," Gan Ning replied.

"Han Long, quickly order your assassins to send letters to Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Zhao Yun in Luoyang, and Wang Ping in Nanjiang, asking them to send troops to support them."

"Got it!" Han Long said.

……

A hundred miles away from Dongting, Liu Biao's army marched slowly.

"Mr. Kong Ming, the so-called speed is so important, we should hurry up and start attacking before the enemy reacts!" Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang beside him in the Chinese army.

"Hehe," Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, "My lord, Dongting is in Jingzhou. There must be a lot of eyeliners in ambushes. If we move, someone will send information to Dongting. I'm afraid Dongting has already made preparations at this time, so why not?" To kill them by surprise?"

"Our military strength is far superior to Dongting, but it will not happen overnight if the city of Dongting is strong. Our move is just a signal to the world that Cheng Huang is dead. As long as we trap Dongting, the world will be in chaos. If Cheng Huang does not show up, the news of his death will be confirmed. If Dongting soldiers know that Cheng Huang is dead, their morale will be low, and if we fan the flames again, Dongting will be in chaos. At that time, we will be able to pay the minimum price. Take the Dongting."

"Hearing Mr. Kong Ming's words, Bei Mao suddenly understood," Liu Bei hurriedly cupped his hands to Zhuge Liang, "Then, what strategy should we adopt for Wuling and Changsha?"

"Changsha is not far from Dongting. It would be better for General Guan to take Changsha. If not, he can hold back the Changsha defenders and prevent him from returning to Dongting. Wuling County is far away, so it is not easy to take it. .Of course, Wuling County has its own civil servants in charge, so it's not our turn to worry about it."

While Liu Bei was marching slowly, the [-] Jingzhou navy led by Zhang Yun had arrived at Sanjiangkou in Dongting.

Thousands of sails advance side by side, and hundreds of ships compete for the flow. Jingzhou's warships line up and sail towards the mouth of the three generals in Dongting.

"General, look quickly," Jiang Qin stood on the deck of a king-class warship with a knife.As the president of the Dongting Navy, he personally led twenty King-class warships and hundreds of Shun-class warships to guard Sanjiangkou.

According to Xu Shu, don't let an enemy ship enter Dongting.

Hearing what the guard said, Jiang Qin looked around.

The river surface of Sanjiangkou is extremely wide and as vast as the sea. Under the sun, the white sails of the Jingzhou Navy are riding the wind and waves, surging forward.

"Pass down the order and prepare to meet the enemy." Jiang Qin shouted.

In an instant, twenty king-class warships were in front, and all the commander-class warships were behind, forming a formation.

"Gu..."

The horn of the charge sounded, and the warships in Dongting rushed towards the Jingzhou navy immediately.

At the same time, the Jingzhou army also discovered the Dongting water army, blew their horns, and rushed towards this side.

"Shhhh..." The sharp arrow pierced through the air,
"Hoo hoo..." The boulder flew.

Soon, the two fleets collided together.

"Ding... Huaxia District announces that the Jingzhou Liubiao Army has exchanged fire with the Dongting Navy. Due to the fact that the two sides have invested too much troops this time, they have reached the battle level. We hereby announce to the world."

……

The system announcement rang three times in a row, and it was transmitted to the ears of the system NPC and players at the same time.The Huaxia District, which had been silent for half a month, was once again ignited.

"What's the matter, Liu Biao actually started a war with Dongting! It seems that Cheng Huang forcibly rowed away Changsha, the second county of Wuling, and he has become angry from embarrassment!"

"Haha, with the chaos of the war, Chenghuang might be unable to eat and walk away. No matter who wins or loses, the strength of both sides will be greatly damaged."

"I'm afraid, this is Cheng Huang's scheme! Maybe he deliberately lured Liu Biao to attack, so that he can justifiably rule Jingzhou."

"Brother, you are overthinking! Liu Biao's power is so powerful that Cheng Huang might not be able to swallow it! I bet five gold coins that Dongting will definitely be defeated this time."

……

Hadong...

"Great! Liu Biao really thought that Cheng Huang was really dead when he used troops in Dongting. Generals, take Luoyang, and this Marquis will give you a lot of rewards." Lu Bu suddenly stood up and said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I always feel that this matter is not that simple, then Liu Bei is probably just using us." Zhang Liao said doubtfully.

"Haha, Wen Yuan is worrying too much! Even if Liu Bei uses us, it is mutual use. As long as Luoyang is taken down, it will not be beneficial. All generals immediately rectify the troops and kill Luoyang immediately."
