Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 94 Zang Ba
As the general of the navy, Wei Wen belatedly wanted people to go back and burn the boats parked on the shore, but after a group of people were killed by several rounds of cannonballs from the Youzhou gunboat, they had no choice but to flee up the shore.

"These boats let all our captives go back." Lin Yongsheng quickly made a decision.

It is not very far from Hailing (now Taizhou) controlled by Cao Cao, only a few tens of miles away by water.

Many Sun Quan naval officers and soldiers captured by the Youzhou fleet, almost a thousand in number, could be used as crew members.

After the decision was made, the Youzhou fleet immediately started to move.

It doesn't matter if the iron chains on the lower reaches cross the river. After a few rounds of shelling by the chain bombs of the Youzhou fleet, these iron chains were all cut off.

In the following time, in addition to rescuing the prisoners who fell into the water, the Youzhou fleet also ordered the surrendered Sun Quan navy soldiers to drive hundreds of ships down the Yangtze River channel.

After spending a full two hours cleaning the battlefield, the Youzhou fleet pressed hundreds of ships and slowly headed down the river towards Hailing.

Two hours later, when the huge fleet arrived at the ferry on the north bank of Hailing, the people here thought it was Sun Quan's navy who had come to attack, and immediately scattered and fled in fright.

Fortunately, Zang Ba who was stationed here learned about the situation of the water battle from the scouts early in the morning.

So at this time, on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the Hailing section, thousands of troops have already greeted them at the ferry.

"The Youzhou ship is coming."

At the ferry, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a general and a group of lieutenants had been waiting for a long time.

After the Youzhou fleet came here, they slowed down, and then a gunboat quickly came towards the ferry, and soon docked at the ferry, and then a group of people disembarked and boarded the ferry.

"This must be General Zang Ba. I am Lin Yongsheng, the captain of the gunboat from Youzhou."

"That's Zang Ba." Zang Ba nodded, then pointed at hundreds of ships in the river and asked, "Did you win?"

"We won." Lin Yongsheng nodded, and then said: "These are the warships we captured from Sun Quan's navy."

"In addition, we have captured more than 1000 officers and soldiers of Sun Quan's navy. We can transfer these prisoners to you."

"Leave it to me?" Zang Ba was very surprised when he heard Lin Yongsheng's words.

"Yes, we have limited manpower, and these captives are just a burden to us, so it's better to hand them over to you."

Lin Yongsheng said: "However, I hope General Zang Ba can give us some food, grass, meat and other supplies."

"That's easy to say."

Hearing what Lin Yongsheng said, Zang Ba was very happy. He said to Lin Yongsheng: "Brother Lin, why don't you follow me to Hailing City? How about I host a banquet for you in Hailing City?"

"That's unnecessary. We have to be alert to the sneak attack by Sun Quan's navy, and don't dare to go ashore with too many people." Lin Yongsheng refused.

When I came here, my teacher had told me not to go ashore easily, even if it was in a territory controlled by Cao Cao.

You must know that although many places are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Han court, like Guanzhong Ma Chao, they are all divided by warlords. It is impossible for them to entrust their own safety in the hands of others.

Hearing Lin Yongsheng's words, Zang Ba nodded, and did not mention the matter of landing reception, but said: "I don't know how much supplies you need, brother Lin, so I'll send someone to bring them to you."

"We need tens of thousands of catties of rice noodles, thousands of catties of meat, any kind of meat." Lin Yongsheng said.

"Okay, I'll let someone prepare." Zang Ba nodded, and immediately told a lieutenant beside him: "You heard Brother Lin's words, go and prepare."

"Yes, General Mo will go and prepare now." The deputy general handed over and left.

"General Zang Ba, let your people prepare to take over these prisoners." Lin Yongsheng said to Zang Ba.

"Okay." Zang Ba nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Lin Yongsheng returned to the gunboat again, and then, after a burst of semaphore.Hundreds of ships began to slowly approach Hailing Ferry.

Under the escort of the Youzhou gunboat, the captured Sun Quan sailors were very honest. They drove the boat to the shore obediently, and then obediently disembarked and tied them up.

Zang Ba's soldiers guarded the captives and escorted them to Hailing City.

The transfer of prisoners went smoothly, and all the prisoners were handed over to Zang Ba before dark.

As for the boat, it was driven into the Nanguan River leading to Hailing City.

This night, at Hailing Ferry, it was lively for most of the night.

After hearing that the Youzhou fleet had defeated Sun Quan's navy, countless people came to watch the fun, which made the entire ferry a joyous atmosphere.

And Zang Ba also prepared food and meat dishes for the Youzhou fleet, so that the Youzhou crew had a good meal.

Compared with the elation of the Youzhou fleet after winning the battle, Sun Quan's side was gloomy.

"Has Wei Wen not been found yet?"

In a large hall in Moling City, Sun Quan asked the people below with a cold face.

"My lord, Wei Wen has been missing since his defeat and is still looking for it." A man who looked like a general replied cautiously.

"Everyone, let's talk about how to deal with the fleet coming from Youzhou now, right?" Sun Quan asked the ministers below somewhat feebly.

"My lord, the Youzhou ship is too strong, fast and flexible in turning. Our ship is no match at all." At this time, Sun Quan's general Han Dang stood up and said: "For the current plan, we can only avoid a real confrontation with them, otherwise The loss will only be greater."

"Can we just watch them show off their power on the river?" Sun Quan was a little unwilling.

Hearing Sun Quan's words, the hall fell into silence.

In order to deal with the Youzhou fleet, they prepared for several months, but it was of no avail.

Now let them figure out a way to deal with the Youzhou fleet in a hurry, they can't do it!

"Hey! We can only avoid the sharp edge for now." After a while, Sun Quan sighed, with indescribable helplessness in his tone.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

"General Gan, please see me."

"Please come in."

Soon, a middle-aged general came to the hall in a hurry.

"Chen Gan Ning pays homage to the lord."

"General Gan, what's the situation?" Sun Quan asked Gan Ning.

"My lord, there is a change in Hefei Zhang Liao's army." Gan Ning said to Sun Quan: "Yesterday, the careful investigation found that there was an abnormal movement of the Hefei army. "

"What? What does Zhang Liao want to do?" Hearing Gan Ning's words, Sun Quan was very surprised.

"My lord, could it be Zhang Liao who wants to attack our Jiangbei region?" Someone speculated.

"Impossible. Zhang Liao has only 10,000 soldiers and horses. Cao Cao's army is now fighting in Guanzhong, and we can send [-]+ soldiers and horses here at any time. What should be afraid of is not that we will be attacked, but that Zhang Liao is afraid of us attacking." Hefei is the right place."

"And as long as Chaohu is not lost, it is impossible for Zhang Liao to take over our territory in Jiangbei. It is impossible for him not to know this." Someone said.

"What if Chaohu fails and the Yangtze River is blocked?"
