The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 99 Zhou Yu was defeated, and the navy went south

The counselors below also nodded again and again, no more words.

As for the letter sent by Sun Quan, Cao Cao had already read it, but he had already ignored it.

Changsha.

"Did Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang send a reply?" Sun Quan paced back and forth in the study, not knowing what to do next.

"Report to my lord, but I haven't received a reply yet."

The soldier guarding the gate outside reported.

Sun Quan asked again, "How is the military situation now?"

"My lord, there is no definite news yet."

The soldier guarding the gate replied again.

Sun Quan was furious, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Jingzhou.

"My lord, what should we do? Cao Cao sent his troops northward, so he probably didn't have time to pay attention to Sun Quan. Now that Sun Quan is looking for help, should we go or not?" the counselor asked.

Liu Biao pondered for a long time, but did not answer, and now he is also feeling up and down in his heart.

Judging from the news reported so far, Liu Bian did not move his territory, obviously it was not for nothing.

However, if he didn't send troops far away from Sun Quan, he would be the next one to be wiped out, Liu Biao.

However, Liu Bian's imperial edict was also very clear. Sending troops to aid Sun Quan was to oppose him. At that time, Liu Bian would definitely attack with all his strength.

"What do you think?" Liu Biao looked at the crowd below and asked.

It's not helping now, it's not helping if you don't, everyone is lost in thought.

"My lord, now we and that Sun Quan are just grasshoppers on the same rope. If that Sun Quan is destroyed, we must be next."

"It is rumored that Liu Bian now has an army of close to 70 million, and they are all elites. If we merge with Sun Quan, we can only have an army of 70. In such a situation, we will not be able to protect ourselves wisely!"

A counselor stepped forward.

Liu Bian felt it made sense and nodded slightly, "Okay, let me think about it carefully, you can go down first!"

Chengdu.

"My lord, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold. In this battle, we have to help if we don't want to. As for Cao Cao, he might fight the Yuan family, so he has no intention of looking south." Someone stepped forward and said.

"But...then Liu Zhang said that he will do his best to repay those who send troops to help, and I don't want to mess with him!" Liu Zhang hesitated.

"My lord, then Liu Bian is attacking his heart. If the lord gives in like this, he will destroy Sun Quan first, then Liu Biao, and then you will be the next one!" the counselor remonstrated.

"Isn't that old man Cao Cao still there? By the time Liu Bian takes action against me, the rebellion in the north must have been put down. Wouldn't it be great for us to join forces with him to fight against me?" Liu Zhang said with a smile.

"My lord, it's not right. Conspiring with Cao Cao is like seeking skin from a tiger. In the end, I'm afraid I will lose my wife and lose my army!" The counselors below all advised.

"Then surrender to Liu Bian earlier, and then follow him to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, I can also enjoy the title. I will be a idle prince, right?" Liu Zhang then changed his mind.

"My lord, although Liu Bian has a good name, but I was entrusted by my late lord to let my lord rule the world in the future. How could my lord think of sending him under the fence? Although I can repay the temporary safety, I am afraid that one day I will be killed by Liu Bian." Bian asked to settle old scores, but finally died of hatred! Such a situation, history abounds, I hope the lord will think about it a lot!"

Liu Zhang became impatient with the words, and asked back, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"My lord, send troops to support Sun Quan. As long as Sun Quan doesn't fall, my lord can rest easy. But Cao Cao won the four northern states, and he will lead the princes to counterattack Liu Bian!" a counselor said.

"Okay, okay, let's do as you want! I'm tired, you go down!" Liu Zhang didn't care about this at first, but he was a little impatient after hearing the words of the following counselors, so he simply did as they said. , as for the future, let's talk about it later...

The counselors below looked at each other, sighed secretly and left, obviously Liu Zhang was definitely not the master.

"How's it going?"

In the hall, Liu Bian asked.

"Reporting to your Majesty, General Wei Qing and General Chen Qingzhi have met in Cangwu County and led an army of [-] people all the way north. They have arrived at Linhe County and will continue to approach Changsha. General Han Xin has led his army across the river to meet General Ran Min. We will meet at Lujiang County and head towards Jiangxia County. General Zheng’s navy is approaching Jiangxia County from the Yangtze River. General Li Cunxiao and General Bai Qi have already followed your instructions and are approaching Changsha from Luling County and Yuzhang County." Huo Qubing reported.

"Okay, very good!" Liu Bian nodded and said, "I will continue to wait for the news of your generals' victory!"

In June, Zheng Chenggong's navy and Zhou Yu's navy met on a narrow road in Jiangxia County.

Zheng Chenggong's meaning is very clear, he wants to open a way for the army of Ran Min and Han Xin, so that they can capture Jiangxia County conveniently, and attack Changsha by water along the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, wanted to block Zheng Chenggong in Jiangxia County with a mortal heart, otherwise Changsha Sun Quan would have no way out if he changed land in all directions.

In mid-June, the sky is slightly bright.

"fire!"

Following Zheng Chenggong's order, relying on the absolute advantage and firepower advantage of the warship, he took the lead in firing.

In order to avoid firearm attacks, Zhou Yu also made sufficient preparations to disperse the boats early. When Zheng Chenggong fired the guns, he released small boats to sneak attack, and sent many soldiers with good water skills to ambush in advance.

"Bang bang bang!!"

In the blink of an eye, the naval ships that Zhou Yu was proud of were all in pieces, ignited raging fire, and the soldiers on board were routed.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, burnt smell and tragic roar.

Now, Zheng Chenggong's ship has changed to a batch of red cannons, which are more than ten times more powerful than the previous cannons.

This is the powerful combat power brought by technology that has traveled through hundreds of years!
"Captain, it's not good. Twenty warships have been sunk, and they can't get close at all. Let's retreat!"

Zhou Yu's deputy came to report.

Zhou Yu could see clearly from the bow of the boat. He didn't expect that the first battle would end in victory, and his navy was powerless to resist.

"Wait a little longer..." Zhou Yu was a little reconciled, and could only place his hopes on the navy troops he sent to attack Zheng Chenggong's ships in advance.

However, no matter how good the water quality is, the speed of the serial boats, eagle boats, and wheel boats is too fast to get close at all. soldiers killed.

It can be said that in the face of absolute strength, everything is a cloud!
"Bang bang bang!!"

By noon, Zhou Yu's water army, which claimed to have hundreds of warships, was already sparse and fled.

Among them was Zhou Yu himself.

"Such a naval force, how could anyone be able to match it? It's like hitting a stone with an egg!" Zhou Yu looked at the raging flames on the river, full of unwillingness and fear.

Jiangxia County was broken, and Liu Bian's army attacked from the north, with the help of the navy, it was almost invincible.
