"promise!"

"Dian Wei, lead your soldiers to cut down trees, build a ferry, and be ready to cross the river at any time!"

"promise!"

In Wanling City, Sun Ce looked at Cao Shuo's camp on the other side of the river with a sad face.

Cao Shuo didn't send troops to attack, which made him a little confused what to do.

Wanling would definitely not be able to defend it, but if they withdrew directly, the soldiers would definitely think that they were afraid of Cao Shuo.

His own king led the army and fled without fighting, which might shake the morale of the entire Wu army.

Sun Ce looked at Lu Su and asked, "Is there any movement in the Zhangxiu army in Jing County?"

Lu Su said: "After the other party withdrew to Jing County, they never left the city again."

"Report, the governor told the Lord to withdraw from Wanling quickly and concentrate all troops to attack Fanchang."

Sun Ce asked in a daze, "Where is the governor?"

"The governor fought a bloody battle with Gan Ning at the fork of the Zhongjiang River. Our army suffered heavy losses. Generals Zhang Liao and Li Zheng of the Wei State led an army across the Zhongjiang River and captured Chungu. Fanchang is already in danger, and I'm afraid it has already been captured."

Lu Su hurriedly said: "Master, we can't wait any longer, we must leave as soon as possible, Cao Shuo wants to trap us to death in Danyang County."

"Quan Rou, I'll give you five thousand soldiers and horses, and you lead the warships to Zhongjiang to support Zhou Dadu."

"promise!"

Quan Rou led the fleet to leave suddenly, which made Cao Shuo realize that Sun Ce was going to escape.

"Dian Wei, prepare to cross the river immediately!"

When Cao Shuo crossed the cold water, Sun Ce's army had withdrawn, leaving him an empty city.

"The two military divisions are defending the city!"

Together with Dian Wei, Cao Shuo led an army of three thousand Xuanjia troops to chase after Sun Ce in the direction he was retreating from.

"We won, we won!"

Zhou Yu's warship retreated suddenly, to the great surprise of Gan Ning's soldiers, they finally won.

Lu Jun counted the losses. Three of their ironclad warships were lost, and five remained. Nearly 1 buildings were lost, thousands of warships were lost, and nearly [-] soldiers were lost.

However, their gains were considerable. Zhou Yu's [-] navy was almost wiped out. Zhou Yu fled here with only two large boats and dozens of warships.

Sun Ben in Zhongjiang Nei was directly captured alive. Even Quan Rou who came to support later was driven into the Yangtze River by them.

Lu Jun laughed, and said, "From now on, the overlord of the Yangtze River will be our country Wei."

Gan Ning nodded, and ordered the soldiers to go to Spring Valley to rest for a while, and then prepare to go to Jiangbei to take over Li Dian's army.

"Report, a large number of warships from the state of Wu are coming from the west!"

Before Gan Ning's soldiers rested for a long time, Zhou Yu went back and led a large group of warships to kill them.

Gan Ning looked at the number of warships, there were at least 4 to [-] people, and there were actually five large ships in their fleet, which were almost the same as their giant ships.

"Report, General Gan, His Majesty has an order not to allow the navy to retreat!"

Gan Ning narrowed his eyes. Even if Cao Shuo didn't give the order, he didn't intend to retreat. Once the navy retreated, the plan to encircle Sun Ce would come to nothing.

"General Gan, our sailor brothers are here to help us."

Gan Ning fixed his eyes and found that the person who came was actually Tai Shici.

Although Tai Shici is leading warships, this can make up for the gap between the two sides.

Tai Shici came to Gan Ning's fleet and said, "General Gan, let your soldiers rest first, I'll meet the other ship!"

Chapter 489 Sun Ce Withdrew His Army, Cao Shuo Planned Jiaozhou

"Let the rocket!"

Following Tai Shici's order, rockets shot all over the sky towards Zhou Yu's warship.

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers on the big ship also started to fight back.

"Rush over!"

Tai Shici personally led the team, and hundreds of warships rushed into Zhou Yu's fleet like a gust of wind behind him.

Seeing that Tai Shici had succeeded, Gan Ning immediately ordered his soldiers to charge forward.

The two sides fought until late at night before they stopped fighting. When they returned to the water village in Spring Valley, Tai Shici and Gan Ning counted their soldiers.

Originally, the two together had more than 6 soldiers and horses. After this war, there were only more than 3 soldiers left.

More than half of the warships were lost, and there were only three giant warships left!

However, they also knew that Zhou Yu's losses would definitely not be less than theirs.

Dong Xi asked, "Should we continue to deal with Zhou Yu?"

Tai Shici shook his head, the loss was a bit too great, "If we continue to fight, it may be cheaper for Liu Biao. Zhou Yu has already been driven to Tongling and Guichi by our navy, and he has already won. There is no need to lose more brothers. .”

Gan Ning said: "Zhou Yu was indeed a handsome talent. I didn't expect that we would fight with us when the battleship had the advantage."

At this moment, Ling Cao escorted Sun Ben to the big tent, seeing Sun Ben's expression of displeasure, Gan Ning kicked him up.

Sun Ben's pain from being kicked by Gan Ning was unbearable, and he kept crying.

Dong Xi asked: "How to deal with this bastard? Did the lord say anything?"

Tai Shici said: "My lord is just chasing Sun Ce. I'm afraid I don't have the time to take care of this side. We will temporarily garrison here until Li Dian from Jiangbei mobilizes the army, and then our navy will launch a general attack on Zhou Yu."

After Sun Ce's army withdrew from Wanling, they were killed by the Xuanjia Army and the Tiger Guards along the way and fled here and there. When they arrived in Tongling City, there were only more than 3000 cavalry left.

"Damn Cao Shuo!"

Standing on the city wall, Sun Ce looked at the three thousand tiger guards outside the city, his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and his whole body was trembling.

He deployed nearly [-] troops in Danyang County, but was wiped out by Cao Shuo's entire army.

Lu Su said with a tired face: "My lord, it's not suitable to stay here for long. Gong Jin has mobilized enough warships along the Yangtze River, and we have to leave as soon as possible."

Sun Ce glanced at the cavalry resting in the city. They were too tired to move anymore. If they left the city at this time, they would definitely not be able to outrun Cao Shuo's cavalry.

However, Cao Shuo's soldiers are slowly coming here. If they don't leave at this time, they will be surrounded in the city, and it will be difficult to leave if they want to.

"Look, my lord, the cavalry coming from the west seems to be our troops."

Sun Yi pointed to the west, where a cavalry force of no less than 5000 men was galloping towards here.

Sun Ce was surprised. The leading general was actually Zhou Yu. He was not defending Cao Shuo's navy on the Yangtze River, so why did he come here?

"Gongjin!"

Sun Ce yelled, and Zhou Yu from the city replied, "My lord, get out of the city quickly. Li Dian, the prefect of Lujiang County, has led an army of [-] across the Yangtze River. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

Sun Ce was shocked, and hurriedly let his soldiers jump on their horses. Just as they were about to leave the city, Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Zou Dan and other generals led three thousand tiger guards and more than 4000 Xuanjia troops to attack Zhou Yu. cavalry.

"Rush out of the city to help Gongjin!"

Zhou Yu can't stop these fierce generals, Sun Ce can't beat Zhou Yu here no matter what.

Dian Wei and others chased Sun Ce and Zhou Yu all the way to the Yangtze River. Seeing Sun Ce lead hundreds of people aboard the warship, all the soldiers laughed at each other.

"Hahaha, Jiangdong Xiaobawang is nothing more than that!"

After Zhou Yu led the fleet to withdraw from the Yangtze River in the Tongling section, Dian Wei and the others led a large army and chased along the bank to the junction of Danyang County and Yuzhang County, and east to the county.

Further on is Pengze Lake, and there is no need for them to chase it down. It is full of traps, and if they chase it down, they may suffer heavy losses.

Cao Shuo led the army to Dongzhi County, and summoned his men, Wenwu, to discuss how to lay out the south of the Yangtze River.

Cao Shuo looked at Jia Xu and said, "The war in Yangzhou is over, and the soldiers who have meritorious service must be rewarded. Wenhe will be in charge of this matter."

"promise!"

"The six counties of Yangzhou, including Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, Kuaiji County, Wu County, and Danyang County, have all been captured by our army. Next, I need to carefully consider the candidate for the prefect."

"The strength of Liu Biao and Sun Ce still cannot be ignored. Although Sun Ce lost soldiers and generals in this battle, he did not hurt the root cause. He still has 10,000+ troops in Yuzhang County and thousands of warships."

"And our navy has also lost a lot. The situation in the south of Kuaiji County is unstable and there are many mountains. The navy there should not be transferred back for the time being."

Cao Shuo looked at Gan Ning and continued, "Take back the fleet from Sanhan, half of it will stay in Qingzhou, and the other half will come to support here."

"promise!"

If Cao Shuo remembered well, he left behind ten giant warships in Sanhan, and twenty or thirty building ships, which were in preparation for the invasion of Wa Kingdom.

However, the shipyard on Sanhan's side has already been built, and there is no need for so many warships to guard against water thieves for the time being.

"Li Dian, I appoint you as the prefect of Lujiang County, and Li Zheng, I appoint you as the prefect of Danyang County. The two of you must guard the Yangtze River for me, and prevent Sun Ce's soldiers from entering our territory again."

"promise!"

"Gan Ning, Tai Shici, He Qi, and Lu Jun led [-] sailors to build a water fortress in Wanshui to prevent Sun Ce and Liu Biao's navy from raiding Danyang and Lujiang counties!"

"promise!"

Cao Shuo looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, I will make you Yangzhou Shepherd, and you will be in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou!"

"promise!"

Cao Shuo looked at his generals and decided to keep Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, Yan Xiang, Yu Fan, and Kan Ze to follow Zhang Liao's orders.

Jia Xu asked: "Your Majesty, there are still several counties in the south of Kuaiji County that have not been captured. Are we going to send troops to attack?"

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Wenhe, don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Cao Shuo took out a map of Jiaozhou just sent by Jin Yiwei, put it in front of everyone and said: "This is the map of Jiaozhou sent by Jin Yiwei. In order to prevent Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Sun Ce from attacking Jiaozhou, I decided to send a large army Attack Jiaozhou."

The few remaining soldiers who had not been assigned duties suddenly became interested. The Central Plains had stabilized the situation, and it would be even more difficult to get credit for it.

But this south is a new area. If it can be captured, it will definitely be a big contribution.

"The final general is willing to go!"

Yu Jin, Le Jin, Dong Xi, Ling Cao, Zhang Xiu, Zou Dan and others stood up one after another.

Chapter 490 Liu Biao attacked Yichun, Sun Liu turned his face completely

Cao Shuo looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He is old, so why don't you go to Luoyang to be a servant of the Ministry of War? How about leaving the attack on Jiaozhou to Jia Mu?"

Jia Xu stood up, bowed to Cao Shuo, and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!"

How could Jia Xu fail to see that he wanted to train young people and reserve talents for Wei Guo in the future. Jia Mu has been with him for two years, and it is time for him to go out and make a fortune.

"I plan to attack Jiaozhou by land and water, and Jia Mu will be in charge of the army."

The hearts of all the soldiers were itchy and unbearable. After the commander-in-chief was selected, it would be their turn to lead the army soon.

"I think Gu Yong and Gu Yuantan are more suitable for the command of the navy."

Jiaozhou does not have too many famous generals, Gu Yong and Jia Mu are enough to deal with it.

"Thank you my lord!"

"Gan Ning's navy still has 4 soldiers idle, temporarily incorporated into your team. In addition, you will recruit another [-] soldiers in Yangzhou, and the navy army will be [-]. When will the training be completed? Now, when are you attacking Jiaozhou?"

Jia Mu and Gu Yong said in unison: "The last general obeys orders!"

"Yu Jin, Le Jin, Zou Dan, you three are at Jia Mu's disposal!"

The three of them were overjoyed, they didn't expect the opportunity to gain credit came again.

Although Jia Mu is young, as Jia Xu's eldest son, he must have won a certain amount of authenticity from Jia Xu, otherwise His Majesty would not let Jia Mu be the commander-in-chief of the army.

"Dong Xi, Ling Cao, Jiang Qin, the three of you obey Gu Yuantan's orders!"

"promise!"

After the soldiers assigned during the battle withdrew, Zhou Tai asked with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty, do I want to stay behind and train the soldiers?"

Cao Shuo laughed and said, "I'm planning to send a large army to attack Wa, but I just need a commander!"

"This……"

Zhou Tai looked confused, is he going to make himself the commander-in-chief?

"Why, are you still not happy?"
