The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 324 Zhou Yu's Movement
Waves of heat waves continued to come from the fire boat. Although there was still a distance, Li Yuan could already feel the blazing heat on the opposite side. The dazzling fire light made his face red. Fortunately, Wenpin stopped the offensive in time, otherwise they would have Will hit that sea of ​​fire.

"Wenpin, how did you find out that the enemy wanted to use fire tactics?" Li Yuan never thought that he could use fire tactics on the river. In his impression, the river is full of water, so it is not appropriate to use fire tactics. Putting out the fire, but Zhou Yu played really well with burning the boat with one hand. If the wind speed was stronger, they would probably be buried in the sea of ​​flames if they were closer.

"My lord, if there are soldiers on board, the draft of the ship will be relatively deep. If there are no soldiers on board, the draft will be relatively shallow. People with rich sailing experience can usually tell that. , Just now I found that the draft of the enemy's ship is relatively shallow. Although I don't know if they will use fire tactics, but if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so I ordered to retreat. Fortunately, the order was given in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Wen Pin will The cautious character is vividly displayed, even Zhou Yu would not have expected Wenpin to have such a reaction.

"Thanks to having you here this time, otherwise the navy that I have trained so hard will be wiped out. Now we can only retreat to Li Yang temporarily and make plans tomorrow." Li Yuan was frightened by Zhou Yu this time, He was worried that Zhou Yu still had a back hand, so he didn't dare to act rashly again. Burning hundreds of warships at once was not a big deal. It seemed that Zhou Yu was also cruel in order to defeat them.

So Li Yuan and Wenpin led the navy back to Liyang. Although they hadn't really touched the enemy in this battle, they were still frightened by the enemy. Some warships were affected by Zhou Yu's fire plan. After counting It was found that more than 100 warships had been lost. Fortunately, there were not too many injured people, only more than 100 people, but Zhou Yu's actions gave them a wake-up call.

Xi Zhicai and others were waiting for news of Li Yuan's army in Li Yang. When they saw that Li Yuan came back so soon, they knew that it must be a bad start.

"Why did the lord come back so soon?" Xi Zhicai stepped forward and asked immediately.

"Oh, I almost fell into Zhou Yu's plan." Li Yuan said with some fear, it was the first time he had suffered such a loss since he set off on the expedition, and he told everyone the detailed situation.

"Zhou Yu is really good at this week. He burned so many warships to design us. Isn't he afraid that there will be no warships, and tomorrow our whole army will cross the river and attack Moling?" Cheng Yu lowered his head in deep thought, a little puzzled.

"Zhou Yu is not such a simple character. His daring to do this proves that he must have a backhand." Li Yuan's face was full of sadness. He rested his chin with his hands and felt a bit of a headache. The father-in-law likes to drink ginseng tea, so now he has developed this habit, not to mention, after a few sips it does calm him down a little.

At this time, a soldier rushed in and said: "My lord, something is wrong. The prefect of Guangling, Chen Dao, sent an urgent document from [-] miles away, saying that Zhou Yu raided Guangling, and Guangling might not be able to hold on. Please go to the rescue immediately, my lord! "

"What, Zhou Yu actually went to attack Guangling?!" Li Yuan stood up abruptly, his face turned pale on the spot, and everything was exactly as Ma Xian said, how could Zhou Yu just sit and wait for death? He prefers defense to defense. Take the initiative.

"Where is the junior brother!"

"The last general is here!" Zhao Yun immediately stood up.

"I order you to lead the flying cavalry army to Guangling County for rescue immediately. Don't let Zhou Yu break through Guangling." Li Yuan knew the importance of Guangling. There are many soldiers and horses, but now there are only [-] troops left in Xiapi, which will definitely not be able to stop Zhou Yu.

"Yes!" Zhao Yun was well aware of the critical situation, and immediately led the flying cavalry to Guangling County after receiving the order.

"Master..." Xi Zhicai called out, but Li Yuan ignored him.

"The rest of you should organize your troops and follow me back to Xiapi. Zhou Yu must be stopped!" Li Yuan couldn't wait any longer and decided to retreat today. His wife and children were all in Xiapi, so he had to go back to rescue him. Thinking of Cai Wenji, Diao Xiuer, Xiao Qiao, and his children who might be caught by Zhou Yu, he became very anxious. If he had no relatives, what would be the point of his life, so he had to go back.

"My lord, you don't need to be in such a hurry." Xi Zhicai called Li Yuan again, but Li Yuan still ignored him as if he didn't see him.

"Zhongkang, you lead the Huwei battalion back to Xiapi with me, and leave immediately." Li Yuan ordered again.

"Yes!" Xu Zhu led the order and left.

"My lord, calm down, don't panic like this, look at how panicked you are now!!!" Xi Zhicai couldn't help shouting, his hands tightly grasping Li Yuan's shoulders, this was the first time he Talking so loudly, all of a sudden everyone looked at Xi Zhicai. The hall was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. They didn't know where Xi Zhicai got the courage to speak to Li Yuan like that.

"Zhicai, you..." Li Yuan's anxious eyes gradually calmed down, and he was woken up by Xi Zhicai's yell.

"Not only the lord, but you don't need to panic. Don't forget what kind of battles we have experienced in these years. You are all experienced fighters. Since I followed the lord, I have blocked the attack of the Yellow Turban remnants in Runan, and then Participated in the alliance of princes, fought against Lu Fengxian in front of Hulao Pass, then attacked Xuzhou and defeated Tao Qian for several consecutive cities. Afterwards, no matter whether it was attacking Yuan Shu, fighting Lu Bu, defeating Liu Bei, or flattening Jingzhou, he was sure to win every battle , without defeat, how can a little Zhou Yu deserve our panic."

Xi Zhicai's words made everyone calm down, yes, they have experienced so many battles, why should a little Zhou Yu deserve their panic.

"Zhicai is right. I was too anxious to panic just now. I apologize to you here." Li Yuan nodded slightly to Xi Zhicai to express his apology. An apology from a subordinate is truly a rare thing.

"My lord, I am serious. It is human nature to worry about the safety of my home. Although I am also very worried about Xiapi, we must not make mistakes in our busy schedule, otherwise we will be defeated one by one by Zhou Yu."

The panic on Li Yuan's face gradually disappeared, and his face regained his composure. He sat down and said, "Zhicai, what strategy do we have to deal with Zhou Yu?"

In the most critical time, Li Yuan's most trusted person is still Xi Zhicai. This is a habit he has developed over the years, and other people cannot give him this sense of security.
