Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

"It's lost, it's already lost."

"If things go on like this, even if all our ships are destroyed, we won't be able to enter the Qin army's navy. In this case, it's better to sacrifice some of the ships and let the ships that can still get away evacuate." Zhou Yu said to Cheng Pu.

"Execute the order!" Zhou Yu shouted, beyond doubt.

With Zhou Yu's order, those ships that have been shot but have not sunk yet.Including Han Dang, who was entangled at the beginning, and Zu Mao's partial army, all ignited the rockets on the ship.

In the water battle of the Wu army, the arrows took the lead.Normal arrows are used to kill enemy troops, while rockets are used to kill enemy ships.Because of this, Soochow's ships are equipped with rockets.It's just that these rockets were originally used to burn enemy ships, but now they are used to burn their own ships.

Zhou Yu was too decisive. At this critical moment, he chose to break his arm to survive.More than [-] of the thousands of ships of the Soochow Navy were burned, and Zhou Yu withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment with only more than [-] ships.

At this time, the fire blocked the way, and for a while, it was difficult for Qin Jun to chase.However, no matter what, this battle can be said to have decimated the Wu army and the navy. From then on, the Qin army has the final say on the river.

As soon as Wu Jun and the navy fled, Qi Jiguang returned to the Qin camp with Gan Ning and others at this time.Looking at the more than [-] Wu Jun ships in the fire in front of them, the Jinfan bandits were all dumbfounded.

They thought that Wu Jun might not be the opponent of Qin Jun, but they never imagined that in this battle alone, Wu Jun and the navy were all lost.

3 Chapter Fifty

Zhou Yu led more than [-] ships back to the Dazhai in Fankou. Once he returned to the camp, he could order his soldiers to hang up the sign of avoiding battle on the water village.Fighting is impossible. After this battle, Wu Jun has completely lost the capital to fight Wu Jun on the water.

Seeing Zhou Yu's defeat so badly, Lu Su was shocked and rushed to meet him.

Zhou Yu stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army, and sat in the tent of the commander, with a gloomy face, without saying a word.

Seeing Zhou Yu like this, Lu Su lingered outside the tent. He wanted to go in and ask Zhou Yu, but he didn't dare to go in.

"Old general, how did the army fail like this?" Lu Su stopped the disgraced old Cheng Pu and asked him for news.

"Telly, the weapon of the Qin army, our ship was sunk before approaching. If the governor hadn't destroyed the ship temporarily to survive, I'm afraid the entire army would have been wiped out today."

"The Qin army probably has thousands of weapons that hit King Wu that day." Lu Xun explained to Lu Su before veteran Cheng Pu could reply.

Hearing this, Lu Su finally understood why Zhou Yu looked like this. This battle not only defeated Soochow's navy, but also defeated Zhou Yu's ambition.This feeling of powerlessness was something Zhou Yu had never experienced before.

"Hey!

"I don't know, what happened to Zu Mao, Han Dang, and Huang Gai?" Cheng Pu said with a sigh.

Cheng Pu felt uncomfortable, Zhou Yu's four veterans, three of them were dead or alive, and now he was the only one left.

"Old General Cheng, General Huang is currently in the camp. After being treated by a military doctor, he is no longer in serious trouble." Lu Su hurriedly said to Cheng Pu, and then separated from Cheng Pu about the fact that the Qin Army used Huang Gai to swindle the city gate. again.

Huang Gai was a blessing in disguise. Although he was used by Qi Jiguang to burn Wu Jun's food and grass, he was lucky enough to recover his life.Now Han Dang and Zu Mao are probably in danger.

Zhou Yu's face was full of sadness in the big tent of the Chinese army. No one dared to go in to persuade them, and they didn't know how to persuade them.At this time, I saw Zhuge Liang wearing a Taoist robe, walking from a distance.

When Zhuge Liang was borrowing the wind at Nanping Mountain, he heard thunderous sounds coming from the river.Zhuge Liang immediately felt that something was wrong, he hurried down from Nanping Mountain and rushed to the Chinese army's tent, he didn't even have time to change this Taoist robe.

"Mr. Kong Ming, the governor has returned in a big defeat." Lu Su said to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang nodded towards Lu Su, and said: "I heard the sound of thunder on the surface of the river, so I knew it was the weapon that hit King Wu that day. I already expected the defeat of the Metropolitan Governor."

"Mr. Kong Ming, go and persuade the governor." Lu Su said to Zhuge Liang.

It can be said that Lu Su had never seen Zhou Yu like this.Ever since Lu Su met Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu has always been that arrogant, and has never been so decadent.

Zhou Yu thought to himself, he must quickly ask Zhuge Liang to persuade the governor, in case Zhou Yu made any mistakes, the Soochow Wu would be completely over.

Zhuge Liang went to persuade Zhou Yu, but at this moment, Zhuge Liang didn't have any good plans, so how could he persuade Zhou Yu.The next day, Zhou Yu fell ill in bed.

When Lu Su heard that Zhou Yu was ill, he lost his mind for a while, so he hurried to invite Zhuge Liang.

"Hey, Zijing, the governor is really sick."

"Now the future of Soochow depends entirely on the governor alone. There is no plan to defeat Qin. I'm afraid the governor's illness will never get better." Zhuge Liang said to Lu Su.

As soon as Lu Su heard Zhuge Liang's words, he immediately understood Zhou Yu's cause of disease, so he said to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Kong Ming, please think of a strategy to destroy Qin."

Zhuge Liang said in his heart, he is not shitting for this trick, you squat down in the latrine, take off your pants, and it will come out with a "puchi".This is a plan, how can I come up with it in a while.

"Zijing, don't worry, let me think about it, let me think about it." Zhuge Liang said to Lu Su.

Zhou Yu fell ill, and Zhuge Liang had no good countermeasures for a while.Wu Jun seemed to have no backbone, and the entire Soochow camp was in panic.Fortunately, after the exemption card was hung, the Qin army did not forcefully attack.

At this time, Li Chen did not have the idea of ​​attacking Wu Jun's water stronghold. The first battle caused Wu Jun to lose his combat effectiveness on the water. Now Qin Jun is like a villain, and Wu Jun is like a big girl who was forced into a corner.

At this time, Qin Jun could only let Wu Jun do what he did, without any power to fight back.

In the past few days, the Qin army is recruiting Wu army prisoners.Li Chen didn't like those outdated ships of Soochow, but the sailors of Soochow made Li Chen very envious.

Just like training pilots in the 21st century, if you want to keep one of the pilot and the plane, it must be the pilot.Because the cost of training a pilot is much higher than manufacturing an airplane.

Now for Li Chen, the same is true. With the Weishan shipyard, Qin Jun's ships can be said to be continuously launched.But ships are easy to build, but a qualified sailor needs years of training before he can officially fight.

These naval forces of Soochow, in terms of water quality and familiarity with ships, can even be said to be far superior to the Qin army's navy.After all, it took only more than a year for the Qin army's navy to be fully established, and these Wu army's navy were veteran sailors on board.

The victory of the Qin army at this station was entirely due to the coverage of long-range firepower. If Wu Jun's ships were brought close, the victory or defeat would be hard to say.

In this era of war and chaos, soldiers basically have no loyalty at all.For them, changing the court is nothing more than a change of the banner hanging above their heads.From the soldier's point of view, anyone who follows is a soldier and eats food, and it is good to have a full meal.

These Wu army sailors, after gathering, disrupting the formation, and after simple training, they will be able to do the job.

It was really a good thing for Li Chen to capture [-] to [-] navy prisoners from the Wu army in the First World War.

The reason why there was no attack in the past few days was because they were gathering these captives, and secondly, it was because the food and grass of the Wu army had been burned. It would be a matter of time before they retreated, and there was no need to fight recklessly at this time.

"This Gan Ning is really stubborn. All his subordinates have surrendered, but he is desperately unwilling to surrender." Li Chen said angrily.

"King Qin, Gan Ning and Sun Ce are good friends. If he doesn't surrender at this time, it just shows that he is a good friend." Liu Bowen said with a smile.

What Liu Bowen said is true, but all monarchs like loyal people, but this loyal person will not be loyal to you, which makes people distressed.

Seeing Li Chen's appearance, Liu Bowen smiled slightly and said, "Don't be annoyed, King Qin, I have a plan to make this Gan Ning surrender."

Chapter 351 Exchanging Hostages and Surrendering Gan Ning

Gan Ning is a very loyal person, and it is precisely because of the brotherhood between him and Sun Ce that he is unwilling to surrender to Qin.

Li Chen has been worrying about this matter for the past few days. Gan Ning is undoubtedly a talent in commanding the navy, and he is not inferior to Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong.

There is no shortage of generals in the army, Li Chen, but the only thing missing is the generals of the navy.Among the entire Qin army navy, only Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong were the only ones who could lead an army alone. Because of this, Li Chen was very thirsty for Gan Ning.

"Military teacher, what's your plan?" Li Chen asked Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen smiled at Li Chen, and replied confidently: "King Qin, since this Gan Ning is a person who values ​​justice, let's give him justice."

"Didn't we capture Han Dang and Zu Mao, two veteran generals of the Eastern Wu? When Gan Ning rebelled against the Eastern Wu that day, many brothers were not killed and fell into the Wu camp. Let's use Han Dang and Zu Mao To exchange these brothers of Gan Ning, Gan Ning will definitely return to his heart."

As soon as Liu Bowen's idea came out, Li Chen immediately felt that it was reasonable.As the saying goes, if you want to subdue a person like Gan Ning, you just promise a high official position, a lot of gold and silver, and a good-looking beauty, it is useless.

Since Gan Ning is a loyal person, we must talk about feelings and morals with him.

"In that case, follow what the military advisor said." Li Chen nodded, agreeing to the matter.

In Li Chen's eyes, let alone Zu Mao and Han Dang, ten Zu Mao and Han Dang are not as important as Gan Ning.

As I said before, Zu Mao and Han Dang are deadly. Since they were captured by the Qin army, they have been on a hunger strike, not eating a single grain of rice from the Qin army.While these two veterans are still alive, Gan Ning can be exchanged for his heart, which is also a very worthwhile deal.

Wu Jun's water village, the Chinese army's large tent.

Zhou Yu couldn't afford to be ill these few days, and the deputy governor Cheng Pu was in charge of all the affairs of the Wu army.A letter from Liu Bowen was sent to the Wu camp to exchange Han Dang and Zu Mao for Gan Ning's captured Jinfan camp brothers.

"Da da da!"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, Ling Tong came in from the outside, and handed the letter in his hand to the old Cheng Pu who was in charge.

Cheng Pu opened the letter and saw that Liu Bowen said in the letter that Han Dang and Zu Mao would be exchanged for Gan Ning's brothers, he was overjoyed.

"Change!"

"Tell them, let's change!" Cheng Pu yelled after reading the letter.

From Cheng Pu's point of view, Gan Ning's subordinates were all big-headed soldiers, and it would be a good deal to exchange dozens of big-headed soldiers for Zu Mao and Han as two generals.

The present said that although Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Zu Mao are not brothers, they are better than brothers. How can he not save them at this time.

Cheng Pu's slap on the table startled the next few people.Everyone thought, change, what is Old General Cheng Pu going to change?

Lu Su cupped his hands towards the old general Cheng Pu, and asked, "Old general, what do you want to change?"

Cheng Pu suddenly felt that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly explained: "The Qin army sent a letter to exchange Han Dang and Zu Mao for the Jinfan bandits under Gan Ning."

As soon as he heard that the Qin army wanted to use Han Dang and Zu Mao to exchange for the captured Jinfan bandit, Ling Tong immediately felt very angry.He let in the person who set fire to Wu Jun's rations, and Gan Ning couldn't stop him.He tried his best to capture dozens of Gan Ning's subordinates, and now it seems that they can't keep them.

When Lu Su heard the news, he immediately felt that the exchange was very cost-effective, so he naturally agreed.

"Send someone to tell Qin Jun, and we agree." Old General Cheng Pu said.

At this time Zhou Yu fell ill, and Zhuge Liang was retreating to try to break Qin's strategy. Now, in the Wu camp, the one who can make the decision is this veteran Cheng Pu.

After the news was sent back, Qi Jiguang directly drove a three-rail gunboat to three miles away from Wu Jun's camp.This look, although it is a substitution, is also condescending.

As soon as Qin Jun arrived, Soochow also rowed a few small boats with about 80 to [-] people on board, and exchanged hostages with Qin Jun.

This kind of exchange means no manipulation to both sides, and manipulation in this kind of matter will not turn the tide of the battle, but it will appear a little petty.Therefore, the whole exchange process can be said to be very smooth.

For Soochow, the veterans Han Dang and Zu Mao were rescued, and for Qin Jun, there was a bargaining chip to make Gan Ning return.

After Qi Jiguang brought the [-] or [-] brothers of Gan Ning back to the Qin camp, Liu Bowen did not go to find Gan Ning immediately, but called Pan Zhang, Gan Ning's deputy.

"Military Master, what do you want me to do?" When Pan Zhang saw Liu Bowen, he acted respectfully.

"Pan Zhang, the King of Qin has replaced your brothers who were lost in the Wu camp with Han Dang Zumao, the great general of Eastern Wu."

"Our King Qin is very concerned about General Gan. As General Gan's brother, you should persuade him well." Liu Bowen said to Pan Zhang.

"Military commander, don't worry, I will definitely persuade my elder brother."

"My elder brother is a stubborn man. He hasn't gotten over it yet. If I try to persuade him, my elder brother will definitely let my elder brother surrender our Great Qin." Pan Zhang vowed.

"Are you sure?" Liu Bowen asked Pan Zhang.

Pan Zhang rolled his eyes, and now he had a plan in his mind, and he said confidently to Liu Bowen, "Military Master, I have full confidence."

Liu Bowen looked at Pan Zhang, and could see that Pan Zhang was a man with some evil ideas, so he nodded towards Pan Zhang and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead and do it, and don't disappoint the King of Qin."

"Good, good." Pan Zhang responded and pushed it out.

After retreating, Pan Zhang first went to see the [-] or [-] rescued brothers.At the moment, they are devouring food one by one. They have been starving in the past two days.

Wu Jun's food and grass were burned, and Wu Jun himself had been reduced to the point where he killed horses to feed his hunger and ate the burned rotten millet. These prisoners, they starved for two days.

Pan Zhang called the little leaders of the seven or eighty people over, and then whispered instructions in their ears.

These small bosses are all brothers who have followed Gan Ning for many years, and they are regarded as close relatives.

"Brother Pan, you are right."

"We all listen to you." After Pan Zhang finished speaking, the five or six little bosses responded one after another.

After giving some instructions, Pan Zhang led the five or six people straight to Gan Ning's room.Although Gan Ning has not surrendered to Qin Dynasty, the treatment is not bad at all.Food and drinks are served every day, and even the place where I live is first-class.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Who do you think I brought here?" Before Gan Ning arrived, his voice started to yell.

Chapter 352 Pan Zhang forced Gan Ning

Gan Ning was resting on the bed at this moment. Gan Ning had been thinking about it for the past few days. He rescued Qi Jiguang by accident. There is also a day when people are out of the water.

As for myself, I will go back to my hometown in Berkshire, whether it is farming or doing a small business, in short, I will not interfere with the general trend of the world.

In fact, Gan Ning also has a passion in his heart, but now that he has betrayed Soochow, if he is surrendering to Qin, he will help Daqin fight Soochow, wouldn't this be the friendship between him and Sun Ce.

Gan Ning felt that since he saved Qi Jiguang and Qin Jun took in his brothers, the calculation of the two was equal, and now no one owes anyone any favors.It is reasonable to think that the king of Qin came to Qin, and he should not force himself to surrender to Qin.

"Big brother, big brother!"

"Get up quickly and see who I brought here." Gan Ning was thinking, when he heard Gan Ning yelling outside again.

Gan Ning hurriedly got up from the bed, just at this moment, Pan Zhang came in with a few people.

Seeing the people behind Pan Zhang, Gan Ning almost burst into tears.Gan Ning knew all the people behind Pan Zhang. These people were his brothers who were lost in the Wu army.
