Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 110 Guan Yu: I'm ashamed to say this (please subscribe)
When Lantian went to Shi'an to recruit soldiers, Gan Ning took [-] tunes to Jiangxia by water to save people.

When the fleet passed by Dongting Lake, the [-] sailors trained by Guan Yu were also mobilizing, which seemed to have the intention of going out of the Yangtze River.

Gan Ning met Guan Yu on the boat and told Lan Tian what he wanted.

After pondering, Guan Yu said: "The elder brother and the military adviser asked me to go out of Dongting, but we can't rashly clash with the Jiangdong navy. Xingba is here and we just cooperate."

"I don't know how many soldiers and ships Sun Quan has this time?" Gan Ning felt that Guan Yu was on the front line of the Yangtze River, so he should know Jiangxia's situation like the palm of his hand.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "There may be thousands of warships, big and small. A few days ago, the Jiangxia navy was completely wiped out. Huang Zu should be defending the city now. I don't know when Sun Quan will retreat."

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "Sun Quan and Huang Zu have a vendetta against killing their father, how could they retreat so easily? Governor Su is in danger, I want to go first."

Guan Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Ziyu also said that if you can save it, you can't be reckless. Water warfare is not as free as land. How can you come and go freely with twenty small boats?"

"Anyway, let's go there first," Gan Ning said.

Guan Yu then sailed into the Yangtze River with Gan Ning. Liu Qi's [-]-sea army was originally owned by Xiangyang. If Liu Bei didn't even put on a show, his lurking in Guiyang would be in vain.

Ten thousand sailors and hundreds of boats went down the river, and finally docked at Xiakou, a small town on the north bank of Jiangxia. This was the exclusive port where Huang Zu used to station the warships of the navy. After that, the small town was basically abandoned.

The city of Jiangxia was solid, with the Yangtze River on both sides of the northwest. At this time, Zhou Yu's navy blocked the waterway. General Lv Meng was in charge of attacking the city in the east, and Sun Quan personally took charge of the city in the south, completely denying Huang Zu a chance to escape.

When Guan Yu's water army arrived at Xiakou, Jiangdong's patrol boat on the water found it and immediately reported it to the governor Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu pondered for a while and didn't know what Guan Yu meant, then he went to Sun Quan's camp in the south of the city himself.

"My lord, Guan Yu has brought [-] sailors to the north bank, should we divide our troops to resist?" Zhou Yu asked for instructions.

Sun Quan stroked his beard and asked in confusion: "Is Liu Xuande trying to save Huang Zu? I heard that he was exiled by Liu Biao to Guiyang County and attached to the prefect Zhao Fan. There are [-] sailors so soon?"

"My lord, according to the information obtained by General Cheng, Liu Qi brought out this ten thousand sailors from Xiangyang and handed them over to Guan Yu to stay in Dongting Lake for training. Liu Bei only has thousands of soldiers on foot and cavalry." Lu Su analyzed.

According to Zhuge Liang's strategy, Liu Bei has been keeping a low profile in Guiyang, and intentionally sent out dismal and misleading signals to Changsha County, so the news Liu Pan received was that Liu Bei was very disciplined in Guiyang, and he only had thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. Eating and drinking depends on the face of the eunuch Zhao Fan. After Liu Qi came, he showed his favor in every possible way.

The news Liu Pan received was untrue, let alone his new opponent Cheng Pu.

"It seems that Liu Xuande has been dormant for a long time, and wants to regain some sense of presence in Jiangdong?" Sun Quan frowned.

After Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia last year, he followed Zhou Yu's strategy and took countless people back. He planned for this year's battle. At this time, Huang Zu had run out of food and grass in the city, and was about to attack Jiangxia with all his might. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu came again Meddling.

Zhou Yu thought for a while, "If Zijing's analysis is correct, I guess Guan Yu didn't intend to fight. At this time, Jiangxia City is about to be destroyed, and the division of troops on the north bank may allow Huang Zu to escape, but the warships on the other bank have to guard against it."

"Hearing that Zhuge Kongming is Liu Bei's military adviser, he must know that it is harmful to fight against Jiangdong with me. Su is willing to drive a small boat to the north bank to meet General Guan. My lord and the governor can quickly attack Jiangxia." Lu Su suggested.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Guan Yu's intentions are unknown, Zijing must not personally take risks."

Lu Su smiled and said, "Gong Jin doesn't need to worry, Guan Yunchang is a hero in the world, he will not kill me and lose his reputation."

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard that, "Just follow Zijing's words."

Sun Quan's succession to the throne was very hasty at the beginning. The experience of his father and brother since childhood made him suspicious. So after Lu Su left, he was still restless. Seeing that Jiangxia was about to collapse, he needed a big victory to prove himself.

"Liu Bei. Guan Yu" Sun Quan repeated in his mouth.

Seeing Sun Quan's doubts, Zhou Yu immediately comforted him, "It's not a bad thing for Guan Yu to come here."

"This guy is watching Jiangbei like a tiger, is there anything good he can do?" Sun Quan turned and stared.

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Huang Zu is now a trapped beast in a cage. He will fight to the death in order to survive. We might as well use Guan Yu as bait to lure him out of the city to escape, so as to reduce some battle damage."

"Wonderful, Gong Jin is really a resourceful person, so let's do as you want." Sun Quan said happily.

"Jiangxia has no warships. Even if Huang Zu breaks through the siege, he doesn't dare to choose a waterway. As long as the lord shows a slight flaw, I think they will fall into the trap." Zhou Yu suggested.

"Okay, Gong Jin will make arrangements first. After Lu Zijing returns, I will make an opening for him." Sun Quan smiled charmingly.

"Wei." Zhou Yu clasped her fists and turned to exit the tent.

Lu Su Qingzhou came to the north bank to meet Guan Yu. On the way, he saw that the navy was full of energy, and he was not as old, weak, sick and disabled as the rumors said. At this time, he was really worried.

After the two parties greeted each other, Guan Yu asked, "Why is Zijing here?"

"General Guan killed Yan Liang and his reputation spread across China. General Su Wen came to Xiakou to pay a special visit. The general is indeed a heavenly figure." Lu Su praised.

"Zi Jing Miao Zan." Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled. He knew Lu Su's purpose, but he didn't take the initiative to say it.

Lu Su first chatted a few words on the scene, such as praising Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, etc., and then slowly brought the topic to Jiang Xia.

"What's the matter with General Unknown Guan coming to Jiangxia?" Lu Su finally couldn't help asking.

"I was entrusted by the eldest brother and the military adviser, but it is inconvenient to explain the affairs in the army." Guan Yu deliberately confuses.

Lu Su asked: "Could it be that you want to fight my Jiangdong navy?"

"It's all small things, Zijing can repay Sun Polu, don't worry about Guan," Guan Yu said lightly.

Hundreds of warships and [-] sailors came out for a stroll, what kind of trivial matter could this be?
Lu Su said seriously: "My lord has admiration for Liu Yuzhou, and I hope the general will tell you the truth based on the friendship between the two families."

Guan Yu sighed: "Forget it, I'm ashamed to say this. I was training soldiers for the eldest son in Dongting. Recently, a group of water bandits came to the lake. Taking advantage of my unpreparedness, they robbed a lot of food, grass and twenty boats. I traveled all the way from the Yangtze River. After chasing to Xiakou and disappearing, did he sneak into Jiangdong's fleet? Guan was about to go to see Sun Polu, but he didn't want Zijing to come first."

"What water bandits? How many people are there? They managed to escape from General Guan?" Lu Su asked in surprise.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and pondered, "There are about several hundred people in this water bandit named Jinfan Bandit, and the leader seems to be named Gan."

"Jinfan thief Gan Ning?" Lu Su was taken aback.

"Zijing recognizes this person?" Guan Yu pretended to be surprised.

"Gan Ning was under Jiangxia Huangzu's command before, and even shot and killed me, Colonel Jiang Dongling. Later, I heard that this person fled with his trilogy, but unexpectedly went to Dongting." Lu Su nodded and said.

Guan Yu: "Zijing can return to the south bank quickly, Gan Ning must have gone to Huang Zu in desperation."
