Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 897

When Wang Yong was busy preparing for the special exam and at the same time entered the palace to teach Liu Feng, the Jingzhou navy started to dispatch from Jiangling and was about to enter the area of ​​Dongting Lake.

"This damn weather, even if it's cloudy, there's still so much fog early in the morning!" Cai Mao looked at the thick fog on the river, and was very dissatisfied. It was really hard to figure out what to do in such a thick fog. direction.

"Entering Dongting Lake also means entering Changsha County, why don't you stop for supplies?" Zhang Yun was beside Cai Mao. He was Liu Biao's nephew, and Cai's family was Liu Biao's successor. To avoid suspicion, he had to stand far away. But the two are also close.

"Take this opportunity to take a break, wait for the fog to clear, and then go up the river, and try to reach Xiakou as soon as possible!" Cai Mao thought for a while and replied, "By the way, find someone to deliver a letter to Gan Ning and see where she is. Go near Xiakou...don't let her wait too long at Xiakou, after all, her relationship with Huang Zu is not very good."

When she said that, Zhang Yun immediately understood.Back then when Liu Biao recruited Gan Ning, he couldn't stand her escapism, so he had to arrange to go to Xiakou. In fact, he hoped to use the Jinfan Army to deal with the water thieves in the Yangtze River, especially Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.

But who knows, when Gan Ning went there, Huang Zu actually fell in love with her and wanted to marry her as a sequel, so the two of them immediately had a deadlock.At this time Cao Cao threw an olive branch, Gan Ning ran to Cao Cao without saying a word.

As a result, they shined brilliantly in Hebei, playing the prestige of the court navy.Without Gan Ning's tireless harassment of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would have already gone south before Cao Cao developed.At least, in the eyes of many people, Gan Ning's navy actually played an indispensable role in the Battle of Guandu!
"No matter what, uncle... the governor is the governor of the imperial court, and Gan Ning is the navy general of the imperial court. We are all colleagues, and we must get along friendly after all." Zhang Yun said with a smile.

"Indeed, I don't know how Qi'er is doing in Xudu..." Cai Mao was a little worried. Although Liu Qi was not as good as Liu Cong and was her and Liu Biao's biological daughter, she was Liu Biao's son or the eldest son. Continuation, still need to be concerned.In the past two years, Liu Qi was sent to Xudu as an official, and it is not known how healthy he is.

It's not an ancient species, and its physique is weaker than ordinary people, but it happens that it is still going out alone.

"After all, you are a royal family member, plus you have given so much money to buy a house, and you have so many servants, you will not suffer." Zhang Yun comforted, from the wife's point of view, the Cai family really did It was in place, and he was convinced in his heart.

"General! There is a fleet approaching our flank!" At this time, a soldier reported.

Originally for the purpose of resting and recuperating, the army moved towards the south bank of Dongting Lake, intending to take the opportunity to rest and replenish.As a result, a fleet came from the side, it must not be the fleet coming from behind, it can only be the fleet going upstream from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River!
"Is it the Gan Ning Navy? Whose banner is it?" Cai Mao frowned, and her sixth sense told her that something was wrong.In this foggy weather, it must be very close to be seen.

"I can't see clearly, the fog is too thick, and the opponent didn't make a semaphore, so it's probably not a friendly army!" The soldier replied.

"Fight!" Cai Mao didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered to fight, "Let's go and fight, and test the opponent's heels!"

The hundreds of ships that accompanied the army were ordered to move and immediately surrounded them. The soldiers on the ships were ready for battle, and then they approached the opponent's fleet little by little.The key point is to confirm the identity.

At this moment, the opponent's Clippers quickly approached, and then a large number of rockets shot towards the walking boat.

"Avoid!" the officer shouted, and they took a group of ten ships and quickly evaded. Many soldiers were still hit by arrows. If they were unlucky, the ships were set on fire, but fortunately, they were quickly extinguished.

"General!" You walked around and saw the opponent's flag clearly, so he quickly returned to the flagship, "The opponent's ship is flying the Zhou character flag, and it is Zhou Yu's Chaisang navy!"

"He actually went up against the current to attack us? Hehe, let them see and see, our Jingzhou navy is very powerful!" Cai Mao was not afraid at all, because the opponent's fleet was not large.

Just at this time, after a wave of shots, the opponent quickly turned around and left, not intending to head-on at all.

"We're going to leave after we've been hit? Pursue!" Cai Mao immediately ordered the pursuit, and the flag bearer at the bow immediately issued an order, and the fleet quickly pursued.Everyone's speed is about the same, and the other party seems to be at a distance, feeling that they can catch up at any time.

Unexpectedly, less than ten miles away, another fleet came from another place, from the rear of the Jingzhou navy.It turned out that Zhou Yu had anticipated the heavy fog during this period, so he ambushed his troops in Dongting Lake in advance, and with the help of part of the navy to attract Cai Mao's attention, the main force attacked from the rear.

For a while, the opponent's walkers and clippers were already ahead, and the rear was already full of flagships and a few small warships.Zhou Yu broke out suddenly with a scorpion, and at the same time a large number of soldiers on the clipper jumped into the water with chisels and hammers, and swam towards the flagship.

It is not easy to find a place to dig a boat.The hammer is not easy to exert force underwater, so you need to use a chisel to fix the gap in the plank, and then use a hammer to drive it in.As long as the chisel is inserted in, and then it is knocked hard at an angle, the board will be cracked and damaged, and the broken hole will definitely not be small!
"Someone is digging the boat!" A voice quickly came from under the cabin, but the soldiers had nothing to do.If you stab it in with a long spear, the opening that cannot be said to be cracked is bigger than the one the other party dug out.You can only stab the opponent with the tip of the gun at the moment when the opponent cuts the hole, and see if you can stab him to death.

The trick of chiseling a ship is too insidious, and it is not easy to fight against it. Anyone who is not good will destroy his own ship.Fortunately, most of the people who can really carry out the ship-cutting operation are elites. There are more than a hundred people before and after, and one kills one less.

After working for more than half an hour, it was hard to force the opponent back, especially the soldiers above. When they saw a water ghost showing its head, they directly shot several arrows at it.The opponent chiseled three or two times, and he had to come up to take a breath. At this time, it was time to shoot and kill!

"Retreat!" Seeing that Cai Hao started to turn around and attack, Jiang Qin smiled and announced the retreat.

The main force didn't come. After all, we had to guard against Gan Ning. They came with two partial troops, and even brought all the water ghosts with them. Depending on the situation, the goal was almost achieved!

Cai Mao chased Jiang Qin, but the latter quickly disappeared into the mist. This kind of evaporative fog will not dissipate in cold weather, unless the weather clears up and the temperature warms up.Jiang Qin had been active in this area before, and used to rely on the mist to tease the Jingzhou navy, so he quickly found the correct channel by his own means, returned along the road, and set up camp at Lukou according to Zhou Yu's intention.

This is not just camping, but also stopping the opponent here. The Jingzhou navy is going to join the Ganning Department and the Yangzhou Army, so it must first break through Lukou's defense line.

The key is that Lukou is in Jiang Qin's hands, so the opponent has no way to enter Chaisang by land. The only option is to fight by water!
"Send this letter to Gan Ning!" On Zhou Yu's side, she had already written a letter and ordered her cronies to deliver it.
