Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 281 Down the River
Cao Ren was indeed very cautious.

But the news brought by the scouts made him feel that he should not be so cautious.

"General!"

"Xing Daorong is really going too far!"

"He's still patrolling along the river in such a swagger, it's obvious that he thinks we won't attack him again!"

"Since he thinks we don't dare, we have to kill him!"

"General, give me more navy this time, and I will definitely capture him!"

When Niu Jin got the news, he felt that the opportunity to avenge himself was right in front of him, so he naturally asked Cao Ren to fight.

But Cao Ren still felt uneasy.

Is Xing Daorong such a careless person?

After several fights, that guy Wuyi must have planned everything out, so why is he so careless this time?

Thinking this in his mind, Cao Ren simply spoke out.

"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster."

"Xing Daorong has always followed military rules when marching and fighting. Why is he so arrogant now?"

Niu Jin said: "In my opinion, he is probably dissatisfied!"

Oh?
Cao Ren was immediately interested when he heard Niu Jin's new idea, but he turned around and asked, "Tell me quickly, why is Xing Daorong dissatisfied?"

Niu Jin bowed and replied, "I heard that Xing Daorong came here without any troops or horses, and even his own soldiers were left in Chengdu."

"If he comes to Jingzhou like this, he will definitely be inferior to Guan Yu."

"Look, he only takes a few people to patrol the river every day. I'm afraid he does it for Guan Yu to see."

"Guan Yu and Xing Daorong are both Liu Bei's elite generals, so they have to be ranked higher and lower."

"I think that's the case. That's why Xing Daorong behaves like that."

These words seemed to convince Cao Ren.

He actually followed Niu Jin's line of thought and said, "It is said that Guan Yu is aloof and arrogant. Xing Daorong is so famous that he overshadows him. It is possible that there is a feud between them."

Wen Pin saw that Cao Ren and Niu Jin seemed quite certain about this matter, so he quickly advised: "After all, this is just our speculation, don't take it seriously."

Cao Ren nodded and said, "Of course it is, but the scouts' report can't be wrong. Seeing that Xing Daorong is indeed alone, we naturally can't let him go!"

"Niu Jin, this time you have to bring a thousand men and horses, with twenty men on a speedboat, and you must catch up with that guy and take his head!"

Twenty people on one speedboat, and one thousand people on fifty speedboats.

Most of the navy left in Fancheng were the navy left by Liu Biao.

Fifty clippers are actually quite a lot.

After all, a warship is different from the boats used by ordinary fishermen. It is not just a few pieces of wood put together.

It takes at least seven or eight days to build a warship.

These fifty warships represent one year's output.

However, such an arrangement can lock the surface of the river and prevent Xing Daorong from escaping.

If Xing Daorong could really be captured, it would be worthwhile even if all the ships in the entire water fort were sent out, let alone fifty speedboats.

And now, Cao Ren was determined to kill.

"Niu Jin, Wen Pin, you two must go together this time and capture Xing Daorong!"

The two generals obeyed the order and headed towards the water stronghold immediately.

...

The next day, based on the information reported by the scouts, the two men led a dozen speedboats and chased Xing Daorong.

Sure enough, the scouts' intelligence was completely correct. Xing Daorong was still traveling along the river, with no troops around to support him.

The two generals were overjoyed and immediately led their troops to attack.

I thought Xing Daorong would go ashore, but he didn't go by land this time, but went by water. This made Niu Jin curse loudly, saying that Xing Daorong was really despicable!
Niu Jin thought that Xing Daorong would escape through the shore this time, so he was well prepared and even took off his inner armor, hoping to catch up with that guy.

I never thought that this guy would only travel by water and go down the river twice!
Niu Jin and Wen Pin naturally could not let him go, and immediately fifty speedboats chased after Xing Daorong.

However, on the waterway, Niu Jin and Wen Pin found that catching up with Xing Daorong was not much easier than on land.

The people on Xing Daorong's boat were obviously experienced sailors, rowing very fast, and it was impossible to catch up with them.

If we continue along this path, we will soon reach the Han River and merge into the Yangtze River through its tributaries.

Seeing this, Wen Pin quickly approached Niu Jin and shouted, "General Niu, if you chase us again... we will be chased to Jiangdong!"

"Let's stop here!"

Niu Jin was unwilling to accept this!

With so many troops this time, we will definitely not be repelled. As long as we catch up with them, Xing Daorong will definitely die!
But it's right in front of us but we can't catch up, which is such a pity!

I wanted to ignore everything and kill my way to Jiangdong right away!

But he called out: "General Wen, don't chase me, I will lead the people to go!"

Wen Pin became very anxious when he heard this!
Right now Jiangdong has mobilized its troops and is eyeing Hefei covetously. If you enter Jiangdong under the banner of Cao's army, who will listen to your explanation of what you are doing?

They will definitely send troops to attack!
But he shouted: "General, please don't be impulsive. Let's spare Xing Daorong today, and prepare strong sails and fast oars to chase him again tomorrow!"

Unexpectedly, Niu Jin seemed really anxious!

But he cried, "I spared this fellow yesterday, I spared this fellow today, and I will spare this fellow tomorrow!"

"The water is fast at the river mouth, it's a good time to give chase!"

"General Wen, you stay here. I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, he left in silence.

When Wen Pin saw that Niu Jin was determined to leave, he became extremely anxious, but he couldn't stop him and could only stand there and worry.

...

"General!"

"That Cao army is crazy and still chasing!"

When Xing Daorong was about to enter the Jiangdong waters, he was a little worried.

After all, I came uninvited. If I were discovered by the Jiangdong navy and they really took action, I would have nothing to say.

But thinking that there was only one boat and it was basically impossible to be discovered, Xing Daorong felt relieved.

As a result, he never imagined that if his ship dared to go to Jiangdong, then Cao's army with more than a dozen ships would also dare to come!
Isn’t this seeking death?

Sure enough, the target of Cao's army was too big. Within an incense stick of time, the navy from Jiangdong came to see what was going on.

Xing Daorong saw clearly that the man leading the fight was Ling Tong!
broken!

This time I am being made into a fool.

Xing Daorong secretly cried out in dismay.

Although Ling Tong and I had put on some pretense last time, and had developed a tacit understanding with each other without needing to speak, it was not certain whether this tacit understanding would still exist when they met again this time.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, he didn't expect Ling Tong to seem to not see him at all.

It ignored its ship and just passed by.

He quickly approached Cao's ship and shouted, "Who are you and why are you entering our Jiangdong River area?"

Niu Jin did not expect that the Jiangdong navy would arrive so quickly, and was a little panicked for a moment.

In fact, this is quite easy to understand. Jiangdong is currently preparing for a major battle in Hefei. Jingzhou is not the focus, but we must still be carefully prepared to avoid any trouble.

This is why Lu Su and Ling Tong are here to support the battle, and entering the river mouth is the most important.

Therefore, before Cao's navy arrived, someone came to report to Lu Su that a part of Cao's navy was rapidly heading towards the river mouth.

Only in this way could Niu Jin and Ling Tong collide hard.
