Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 611 Jiangxia Water Battle
Upon receiving the news that Lü Bu was about to send troops to Jiangxia, Liu Bei hurriedly summoned all the generals to discuss, "Lü Bu is determined to kill me. He has not established a foothold in Jingzhou before sending troops to Jiangxia. What do you think we should do?"

"Boy Lu Bu, you are so crazy. I am willing to lead troops to fight and kill him by surprise." After hearing Liu Bei just finished speaking, Zhang Fei stood up and said anxiously.Zhang Fei had been holding back his resentment for running away blindly these days. Hearing the attack of Lu Bu's army at this time, he naturally had to vent his anger.

"Mr. Shan Fu, Mr. Zhuge is now far away in Soochow. You are the most knowledgeable of us all. Please advise me." Liu Bei ignored Zhang Fei's clamor and turned to look at him. Shan Fu on the side asked.

"Now that Lu Bu is powerful, our army is weak and we shouldn't use an egg to hit a stone. However, if our army wants to unite with Soochow, we need to show our army's strength so that Soochow will not be underestimated. Therefore, I think our battle Not only do you have to fight, but you also have to fight well." Seeing Lou being asked about himself, Shan Fu said meaningfully.

"Hehe, Military Adviser Shan Fu has the same vision, as I thought." Hearing what Shan Fu said, Zhang Fei said cheerfully.

"I also have the same idea, but Lu Bu is not a kind person. It is not easy to win this battle. How can we win the beauty?" Liu Bei is not as optimistic as Zhang Fei. Since Lu Bu sent troops, it is definitely not for his own benefit. Food delivery, so if you want to defeat these soldiers and horses, you need to put in a lot of effort.

"Jiangxia is remote and the roads are difficult to pass, so there is no need to worry too much about Zhang He's [-] infantry. As long as we guard the pass, it is nothing to worry about. What is important is Cai Mao's navy. Cai Mao has been in charge of the navy in Jingzhou for many years. The army's training and combat experience are quite good. This battle must be a tough battle. Thinking about Lu Bu's intention to let Cai Mao lead the water army, he also wanted to see Cai Mao's ability. But this also gave us a chance. If If Cai Hao can be killed in this battle, the Lu Bu navy will lose one general, which will be a great benefit to our Sun Liu coalition army, so the subordinates suggest to ask Soochow for help and combine the strength of the two armies, In order to completely annihilate Cai Mao's navy." Shan Fu said seriously.

"Sun Quan is just a child with a yellow mouth, how can he have such insight, not to mention killing a little Cai Mao, if he needs the help of Dongwu soldiers and horses, then where should our army quickly go?" Guan Yu objected, obviously not optimistic about the idea of ​​proposing to join forces with the Soochow navy to attack Cai Mao.

"Army Shan Fu also said that this is the time for our army to show its strength to Soochow, so I don't think it is necessary to ask Soochow for help." Liu Bei also said at this time: "I just don't know that Shan Fu Is there any other way, Mister, to defeat Cai Mao?"

"If we can unite Soochow, we can defeat Cai Mao on the water. After Lu Bu finds out, it is very likely that Cai Mao will be revoked as the commander of the navy. If we don't unite with Soochow, the strength of our navy is really not enough. In the battle with Cai Mao's [-] navy, we can only talk about Cai Mao leading him ashore for a decisive battle. Not long after Cai Mao surrendered to Lu Bu, he was eager to seek merit, and it would not be too much trouble to lead Cai Mao ashore." Shan Fu pondered After a while, he spoke.

The news of Lu Bu's attack spread to Soochow, and Lu Su hurriedly went to Zhou Yu and said, "Governor, Lu Bu sent troops to attack Jiang Xia. I'm afraid that Jiang Xia might make a mistake. Why don't we send reinforcements to help, so that after Lu Bu wipes out Liu Bei, we will not be able to do it alone?" branch."

"Hehehe, Lu Su, you think too much. Lu Bu is our enemy, but isn't Liu Bei our enemy? As long as there is a master in the world, everyone else is just a chess piece that can be used out of date. Liu Bei wants to use us to deal with Lu Bu in order to make a profit from it, so why aren't we using Liu Bei? Since Lu Bu wants to deal with Liu Bei, why don't we take advantage of the fisherman, but participate in it?" Hearing Lu Su's words, Zhou Yu was shocked He laughed, obviously not paying attention to Lu Su's words.

"I don't know what the governor is going to do?" Lu Su heard Zhou Yu's words, although he felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't refute it, so he asked Zhou Yu's plan, wanting to see if there was anything else that could be saved.

"Didn't Zhuge Liang say last time that Lv Bu's water army must be wiped out before we can be invincible? This time when Cai Mao went to attack Jiangxia, we just took advantage of this opportunity to rob Lv Bu's water fortress, and when we captured Lv Bu's After the water village, we will go to Jiangxia to eliminate the water army led by Cai Mao, so the gang fight army will be invincible." Zhou Yu introduced with a smile.

"The governor is really good at calculating, but didn't the governor think about it, isn't Lu Bu's navy just the ones in the hands of Cai Hao and Zhang Yun?" A figure wearing white scribe clothes and holding a feather fan appeared not far away. It was Zhuge Liang. It turned out that Zhuge Liang had also arrived at Zhou Yu's mansion at this time.

"Hehe, what Mr. Zhuge is talking about is Lu Bu's Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner Navy. Of course, Zhou Yu has heard of the names of these two naval forces, but he knows that these two naval forces have been called from the very beginning. Lu Bu hid deep in the snow, I'm afraid he hasn't fought much so far, so he can be called a navy if he hasn't smelled blood?" Hearing Zhuge Liang mention Lu Bu's other navy, Zhou Yu said indifferently.

"Hehe, we really don't know how effective the navy of the Xianglan Banner and the Zhenglan Banner are. It's just that Governor Zhou wants to attack Lu Bu's water village. Isn't it afraid that the navy of the Xianglan Banner or Zhenglan Banner will attack the governor? Water village?" Zhuge Liang did not argue with Zhou Yu, but raised another question.

"What should I do in Mr. Zhuge's opinion?" Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhou Yu couldn't help hesitating and asked.

"Since Lv Bu wants to take Jiang Xia down, why don't we set up an ambush in Jiang Xia and make Lv Bu attack the rat?" Zhuge Liang said with a slight smile.

"Haha, after all, Mr. Zhuge is still worried about Liu Bei. He thinks that Liu Bei can't deal with Cai Mao. This is not like Mr. Zhuge's style. It's really disappointing." Zhou Yu said, hearing the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words. Said with sarcasm.

"Hehe, Cai Hao's skin is so insignificant. Some of the sailors under his command can only salvage shrimps on the Yangtze River. I don't take it seriously. What I worry about is Pang Tong. Xun Yu under Lu Bu is an old man. A serious person would definitely not encourage Lu Bu to send troops to Jiangxia. Although Guo Jia is known as a genius and has great resourcefulness, his resourcefulness is more strategic than tactical, and he will not care about places like Jiangxia that have no strategic value. Pang Tong has always wanted to compete with me for a moment. If I guessed correctly, it was Pang Tong who came up with the idea to attack Jiang Xia this time. He wanted to take advantage of Lu Bu's unprepared opportunity to fight me. "For what Zhou Yu said, Zhuge Liang just shook his hand, and then said what was in his heart.

"You're talking about Pang Tong, who is known as the young phoenix? I heard that this person is an official in Wancheng. Is this rumor true?" Zhou Yu asked with a serious face when he heard Pang Tong's name.

"Yes, it is this person. If I guess correctly, this person will definitely go with Cai Mao this time. That's why I hope the governor can lead the navy to attack Cai Mao's navy." At this time, Zhuge Liang also showed a serious expression. Said the expression.

"If there is such a person in Cai Mao's navy, it is indeed worth my shot." After a while Zhou Yu nodded and said.

On this day, the flags on the Yangtze River were filled, and warships full of soldiers spread out on the Yangtze River and headed towards Jiangxia.

On a tall ship among the ships, Cai Mao was standing at the bow, looking in the direction of Jiang Xia.

"Is the general worried about this battle?" At this time, a person came out from the side and stood behind Cai Mao and said.

"As an officer, I also dreamed of being able to gallop on the battlefield. However, my life has been too comfortable these years, and I am a little unfamiliar with this kind of war." Facing Pang Tong's question, Cai Mao said truthfully.

"Don't worry, general. Liu Bei's army is mainly infantry. There are only a few Jiangxia navy under Xiahou Dun's original command. How can they be the general's opponent." Seeing that Cai Mao was a little worried, Pang Tong couldn't help persuading him.

"Sir, don't lie to me. If it's that simple, why does the Prince Regent need to send [-] sailors, and why does Mister come here in person?" Cai Mao smiled slightly and said.

"Hahaha, I can't tell that the general is a careful person. As long as the general's navy doesn't land on the banks of Jiangxia in this battle, even if the general can't win on the Yangtze River, there is no problem if he wants to escape." Seeing that Cai Mao was still a little worried, Pang Tong said half-jokingly.

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Cai is also a little nervous. Although Cai Mao is incompetent, it is difficult to take my life on the Yangtze River. Don't worry, Mr. Cai, I will naturally keep Mr. safe when I am here." Hearing Pang Tong say so , Cai Mao thought that Pang Tong also had the same worries as himself, so he said with a smile.

At this moment, a naval army appeared right in front of it. A general was standing at the bow with a long knife in his hand, his long beard fluttering in the wind. This man was none other than Guan Yu.

"Hehe, although Guan Yu is a great hero, in a battle on the Yangtze River, personal force may not be able to play much role." Seeing Guan Yu coming to fight in person, Cai Mao smiled and waved to the ships behind him, and then A soldier played a semaphore and passed on Cai Mao's order.

"Brothers, the enemy army is powerful, let's retreat." Seeing Cai Mao dispatching troops, Guan Yu did not fight, and directly ordered the sailors under him to retreat.
