The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 326 The Treacherous Cao Thief

run!
Now whether it is Cai Zhong, Cai He, or Zhang Yun, they already know that nothing can be done, and the 36 plan is the best policy, and the most important thing is to keep their wealth and life.

Even the three of them ignored Cai Shi and Liu Cong, boarded the warship, and headed northwest to go northward, heading straight to Nanjun.

However, the navy hadn't fully activated yet, and flags were already flying in the distance. Warships appeared on the surface of the Han River. The leading warship was carrying a large flag with the word "Liu" embroidered on it. Standing under the banner are two generals, they are Huo Jun and Guan Ping, the titans under Liu Bei's command.

The two men led thousands of naval forces and chased them from behind. It had become very difficult to escape through the waterway.

"It's over! It's Jiangdong's navy!"

Zhang Yun was startled and angry, stomping his feet in anger. If it was on weekdays, Zhang Yun would not be afraid of Jiangdong's navy. After all, the training time of Jiangdong's navy is still short, and it is far behind Zhang Yun's Jingzhou navy. But the current situation It's not the same, Xiangyang City is lost, and the Jingzhou navy is now a tree without roots, and the army's morale is scattered. There are Liu Bei's pursuers on the land, and Jiangdong's navy is blocking the Han River. There is no way to go to heaven, and there is no way to enter the earth. !
"Rush, rush out!"

Zhang Yun was already impatient, he gave an order, and rushed towards the distance without hesitation.

On the Han River, the two armies fought hand-to-hand, and rockets shot from the warships and landed on the opposite ships, with flames rising and smoke filling the sky.

Want to rush out, easier said than done?

The panic-stricken Jingzhou navy was no match for the Jiangdong navy at all. They were shattered by the Jiangdong navy warships and couldn't even maintain their basic formation. In addition to the Jiangdong navy, the Jingzhou navy also had to be careful with the bows and arrows of Liu Bei's army on the shore.

Liu Bei mobilized three thousand archers in one breath, and kept shooting at the Jingzhou navy above the Han River. Although the water surface of the Han River was wide, after all, the two navy combined had too many ships, and there were two hundred ships of all sizes. More than one ship, Liu Bei's archers can shoot feather arrows onto the warships of the Jingzhou Navy without any effort.

The Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses, and some warships even began to raise the white flag to surrender in disregard of Zhang Yun's strict orders.

On the Han River, the two sides fought fiercely for more than half a day. Cai Zhong, Cai He and Zhang Yun couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to abandon the warship, landed again, and began to flee northwest.

Leaving the Han River, it is much easier for the defeated remnants of Jingzhou, who can flee in any direction, but the opponents they face are also stronger!
Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Wen Pin each led a large army to chase and intercept them on the land. Even Liu Bei went out in person and Liu Feng led a force to chase desperately, and finally surrounded Cai Zhong and Cai He. .

Three unlucky men led thousands of remnant troops to break through the encirclement, but they were unable to rush out. In the end, Cai Zhong, Cai He and others died under Huang Zhong's Jiu Feng Chaoyang Sword. As for Zhang Yun, he was captured alive by Zhang Fei. Imprisoned.

After killing Cai Zhong, Cai He, and capturing Zhang Yun alive, Liu Bei finally heaved a sigh of relief, it was very good, none of the main leaders of the Cai family escaped, and the next thing was much easier.

"Yide, send an order to clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, settle the wounded, and the three armies will withdraw their troops and return to the city!"

Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"My lord, no!"

Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "My lord, the current turmoil in Jingzhou will definitely attract the covetousness of Cao Cao and Liu Xiao. We have been delayed for half a month in Xiangyang City, and half a month has passed since we sent troops. Time, now we must strike while the iron is hot, and immediately send troops to take over the entire Jingzhou, especially the two counties of Nanjun and Nanyang, which border Cao Cao. Cao Cao has occupied it, so it will be very difficult for us to snatch it back!"

Liu Bei was startled, nodded slightly and said, "Third brother, immediately command [-] elite soldiers and attack Nanyang northward; Han Sheng, lead [-] troops, go straight to Nanjun, and must take Nanyang and Nanjun into the bag in the shortest possible time. Wenpin, lead the troops under his command and return to Jiangxia immediately, beware of Zhou Yu entering Jiangxia County!"

The three quickly took orders and went down to prepare.

However, although Pang Tong was thoughtful, his action was still a step behind.

Liu Bei led the army and just returned to Xiangyang City, the battlefield has not been completely cleaned up, and the news has still spread to Xiangyang City!

"My lord, please tell my lord!"

General Chen Dao walked up quickly, bowed and said, "The spies in Nanyang just got the news that just five days ago, Zhang Liao and Li Dianlejin led [-] cavalry and blatantly entered Nanyang. Nanyang has no commander in command now. Lieutenant General Zhang Xiu led his troops out of the city and surrendered, dedicating Nanyang City to Cao Cao, Zhang Liao left Le Jin and Li Dian in Nanyang, and he led the main force to Nanjun!"

"what!"

Liu Bei was startled and angry. He really didn't expect Cao Cao's reaction to be so fast. He had just taken Xiangyang, and he had already taken Nanyang. I'm afraid Nanjun is hard to keep now!
"asshole!"

Liu Bei roared angrily: "We fought to death and life, exhausted all our efforts, and just won Xiangyang. This Cao Cao took advantage of our attack on Xiangyang and took Nanyang directly. It's unreasonable. Cao thief, I am at odds with you! Send an order to Yide , Let him advance quickly, and take advantage of Cao Jun’s unstable foothold, he must take back Nanyang County for me! Liu Feng, leading [-] elites, immediately rushed to the aid of Huang Zhong, and competed with Zhang Liao for Nanyang County!"

"never mind!"

Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, if Cao Cao has not entered Nanyang and Nanjun now, then we will take Nanyang and Nanjun. Cao Cao is afraid of Liu Xiao in the east and will not force us to fight; similarly, Cao Cao has taken Nanyang now. , Nanjun is already in the pocket. It is unwise for us to start a full-scale war with Cao Cao at this time. First, we have not won the counties in the south of Jingzhou. It's not as good as Cao Cao. At this time, there is no chance of winning if you fight recklessly, and you may be taken advantage of by Liu Xiao. Why don't you sell Cao Cao's favor and hand over Nanjun and Nanyang to Cao Cao. We will do our best to manage the other seven counties in Jingzhou and the six counties in Jiangdong. In addition to Jiaozhou in the south, our land and population are not much different from Liu Xiao and Cao Cao. If the people are not enough, they may be exhausted..."

Liu Bei was stunned, and said in a muffled voice: "Could it be that we let Cao Cao take advantage of it for nothing?"

Pang Tong said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you pick a cheap one. If you let Cao Cao take a step, the relationship between the two will be closer. Next, we will jointly deal with Liu Xiao's expansion. Among the three, our strength is the weakest. The best way is, It is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and have both sides, rather than a showdown with the other two, otherwise, we must be the ones who lose!"
