Faced with the visitor's questioning, Liu Yao and the others were in shock and did not dare to step forward to answer.

Tai Shici secretly guarded Liu Yao's side, for fear that the person on the opposite side would suddenly attack him.

Different from the others, Kuai Liang's face was full of smiles, he galloped out of the battle, and said to others: "General Cai Mao! Long time no see."

It turned out that these people on the opposite side were Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and Cai Mao was the leader.

"Zirou?" Cai Mao saw Kuai Liang with a look of surprise on his face. He urged his horse to come to Kuai Liang's side and asked, "Zirou! Is it really you? Why are you here? What happened to Yuzhang City?" How is it?"

Asked several questions in a row.

"Oh! It's hard to describe!" Kuai Liang sighed.

Seeing Kuai Liang's exhausted face, Cai Mao had no choice but to temporarily suppress his doubts.

The two chatted casually for a few words.

Later, Kuai Liang introduced Liu Yao and others to Cai Mao.

Everyone exchanged greetings.

Seeing that it was Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Liu Yao felt relieved, but he did not relax completely, and said to Cai Mao, "General Cai! Let's get out of here quickly. Otherwise, Yuan Jun will come after us, I'm afraid..."

Cai Mao's expression changed, and he asked, "Did you lose the Yuzhang?"

Although he was asking Liu Yao, his eyes were on Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang nodded helplessly, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

The corners of Cai Mao's mouth twitched slightly, his face was uncertain.

Kuai Liang didn't understand Cai Mao's thoughts, and said, "General Cai! Let's go back to Jiangxia first."

"Okay!" Cai Mao nodded slightly, and ordered the army to change from the front team to the rear team, and from the rear team to the front team, and turned to Jiang Xia.

As for Liu Yao's remnant army, they fell behind the main army.

After arranging everything, Cai Mao took Kuai Liang to the Zhongjun, and he had a lot of questions to ask.

Before Cai Mao could speak, Kuai Liang asked first, "General Cai! Why did you come here?"

Cai Mao's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he said: "My lord listened to your younger brother's words and decided to send troops to assist Liu Yao in defending the city. Who would have thought that the Yuzhang had already been lost before our army arrived."

There is no complaint in the words.

"Alien?" Kuai Liang's body trembled slightly.

"That's right! It's Lingdi Kuai Yue!" When mentioning Kuai Yue, Cai Mao's eyes flashed a different kind of light, which was intriguing.

After thinking for a moment, Kuai Liang seemed to have guessed something, and sighed: "Should Liu Kangyuan be saved? This plan is indeed clever, and the talents of different degrees are several times better than mine. It's a pity, a pity!"

It's a pity for Kuai Liang, but Liu Biao didn't use Kuai Yue's talents. He knew that Kuai Yue had never planned to join Liu Biao, and this offering of advice was probably the reason for his "persecution".

Immediately, Kuai Liang turned to Cai Mao and asked, "Since General Cai led the army, why didn't he inform the city in advance? If he knew that the Lord sent reinforcements, the morale of the army must be high, and it may not be impossible to defend the city."

Cai Mao looked at Kuai Liang with a strange face, and said, "I have sent someone to deliver the letter, Zirou, have you not received it?"

Kuai Liang was taken aback for a moment, but when he realized it, the expression on his face kept changing.

After a long time, Kuai Liang sighed and said, "No wonder Yuan Jun broke out suddenly and attacked the city recklessly, that's why."

"What does Zirou mean?" Cai Mao listened in a daze.

"Yuan Shu must have known the news of the general's advance, so he was eager to break through Yuzhang. The general's messenger was probably intercepted and killed by Yuan Jun's meticulous work." Kuai Liang explained.

Cai Mao suddenly realized that this was the case. No wonder it was such a coincidence. Just when he was about to arrive in Yuzhang, Yuan Jun broke through the city, and the difference was only a few days.

Guessing the truth, the two were relatively silent and hurried forward silently.

After walking for a while, Cai Mao suddenly asked, "Zirou! Yuzhang has been lost, and Yuan Shu may attack Jingzhou next. Do you think we can hold on?"

Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, then asked back: "Did your lord arrange the defense of Jingnan?"

Cai Mao nodded and said, "My lord has ordered someone to arrange it. I don't know the details."

"That's good!" Kuai Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "As long as Jing Nan is safe, we can rely on Jiang Xia to deal with him."

Cai Mao took a deep look at Kuai Liang, and said, "Listening to Zirou's words, it seems that I don't have the confidence to preserve Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang sighed, "To tell you the truth, there is a huge gap between our army and Yuan Shu's strength. If there is no external force, it will not be easy to preserve Jingzhou!"

Cai Mao's heart sank slightly, and a picture flashed in his mind, with a hesitant expression.

At this moment, Kuai Liang was in a low mood, so he didn't notice Cai Mao's abnormal condition, but he didn't think it was this negligence that would cause a catastrophe in the future.

"By the way!" Kuai Liang suddenly remembered something, and said to Cai Mao: "General Cai! Send someone to inform Huang Zu quickly and ask him to withdraw to Jiangxia. Yuzhang City has been captured by Yuan Jun, and their focus must be It will be moved to Chaisang, there will be accidents, it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Cai Mao didn't say much, and directly arranged for people to rush to Chaisang to inform Huang Zu.

……

……

Time is like an arrow, and the years are like water. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

In Poyang Lake, a small boat is rippling slowly, seemingly without destination.

On the boat, two figures stood facing the wind, looking at the beautiful scenery in the lake.

Suddenly, only one of them said: "How about this Poyang Lake?"

"It's so beautiful!" Another person said.

"How about playing the piano?"

"It could not be better!"

"Hahahaha!"

After a long time, I only heard the first person say: "In this case, Gongjin, you should stay here to practice the navy!"

"Follow my lord's orders!"

These two are Yuan Shu and Zhou Yu.

A few days ago Yuan Shu led the army to Chaisang, Huang Zu heard the news, he didn't bother to ask Liu Biao for instructions, and hurriedly ordered the army to retreat and return to Jiangxia.

In this way, Chaisang was no longer threatened, and completely settled down.

After discussing with Xun You and other counselors, Yuan Shu decided to order He Qi to lead an army of [-] to guard Chaisang. As for the naval forces under Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai, Yuan Shu planned to arrange for them to go to Poyang Lake for drills.

For this reason, Yuan Shu specially invited Zhou Yu to come to Poyang Lake for on-the-spot investigation, and at the same time, he had to clarify some things with him.

At that moment, Yuan Shu was silent for a moment, and said: "Gongjin! To be honest, I didn't expect you to really win Chaisang."

Zhou Yu smiled lightly and said, "I will understand in the end."

Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and said seriously: "Gong Jin is a smart person, and I will tell the truth. I can't predict how long this situation will last."

"It doesn't matter!" Zhou Yu didn't show any displeasure on his face, and said lightly: "My lord, as long as you can reuse the general, you can do anything else."

Yuan Shu looked directly at Zhou Yu, as if he wanted to see through him, but Zhou Yu faced him calmly.

After a long time, Yuan Shu reached out and patted Zhou Yu's shoulder, saying, "I treat you with sincerity, don't let me down."

Zhou Yu's body was shaken, and he quickly returned to his original state, as if he didn't hear Yuan Shu's words.

"Twenty thousand sailors are too few. You recruit troops from Jiangdong and expand to one hundred thousand." Yuan Shu thought to Zhou Yu.

"One hundred thousand?" Zhou Yu exclaimed, his indifferent expression was instantly overwhelmed by horror.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yu remonstrated: "My lord! Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, the [-] navy seems to be too much. Even if the lord takes Jingzhou in the future, it will not take so many navy."

"Don't worry! There will be many places where the navy will be used in the future. I'm afraid [-] won't be enough." Yuan Shu's ambition will never stop in the land of China. If he wants to expand the territory, the navy is especially important.

Zhou Yu listened, although he was curious, but he didn't ask too much.

Yuan Shu changed the topic, and said to Zhou Yu, "I heard that Gong Jin is unparalleled in his piano skills, so I can listen to it today."

"My lord has this kindness, so Yu should obey."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, turned and entered the cabin.

After a while, Zhou Yu came out, holding a guqin in his arms.

Zhou Yu sat back to his original position and placed the guqin between his knees.

"Yu is making a fool of himself!" Zhou Yu said modestly, his fingers vibrating the strings.

Lingling!Lingling! ...

The melodious sound of the piano sounded like beads falling on a jade plate, crisp and sweet.

Listening to the beautiful sound of the piano, Yuan Shu thought in his mind: "...the army should also expand."
