Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Ju Su left with full confidence.

After Zhang Liao led the navy to the vicinity of Jiangling City, he immediately launched an attack.

The defenders of Jiangling City never expected that the enemy would dare to attack in the dark.

After the navy docked, Zhang Liao personally led the navy into Jiangling City.

The defenders in Jiangling City were terrified and frantically avoided Zhang Liao's surprise attack.

Unfortunately, Zhang Liao's navy was well-trained and quickly stabilized its position and began the massacre.

Cao Ang had already told Zhang Liao that no matter what the situation, he should not worry about anything.

Zhang Liao certainly understood what Cao Ang meant, so his troops launched a fierce attack from the very beginning, giving the defenders no chance to breathe.

The defenders of Jiangling were completely unable to withstand the fierce attack of the navy and suffered countless casualties.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce also received the news and sent troops to rescue.

Sun Ce was even more furious. Cao Ang actually attacked Jiangling City in the dark of night, which was simply too much.

Sun Ce immediately summoned his subordinates and went out to fight personally, vowing to kill Cao Ang and defend his dignity.

Liu Bei sent his generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were both veteran generals with rich experience. They fought with Zhang Liao several times along the way and were evenly matched.

However, as time passed, Yan Liang and Wen Chou lost a lot of physical strength and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou also saw the situation clearly and knew that they would not be able to escape today, so they offered to surrender.

Zhang Liao saw through their thoughts, but ignored them and continued his attack.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou realized that Zhang Liao was unwilling to leave any prisoners alive, so they took advantage of the chaos and jumped into the water to escape.

Zhang Liao watched Yan Liang and Wen Chou jump into the river to escape, sneered, and ordered the navy soldiers to chase them.

After Yan Liang and Wen Chou jumped into the water and swam away, they were soon caught up by Zhang Liao's men.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou had no choice but to fight with Zhang Liao's men, hoping to delay time and wait for support from others.

Although Zhang Liao had a large number of troops, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were veterans, and they were fighting in a river, which gave them an advantage.

It was not easy for Zhang Liao's men to capture Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

The two sides were in a stalemate underwater, and neither could do anything to the other for a while.

Just as Yan Liang and Wen Chou were fighting back desperately, an arrow shot near them.

"Ah." Yan Liang and Wen Chou screamed at the same time.

Zhang Liao seized this opportunity and ordered his men to launch a fierce attack.

A moment later, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were captured.

"My lord, Yan Liang and Wen Chou have been captured." Zhang Liao returned to Cao Ang.

"Take him away and interrogate him carefully." Cao Ang said.

"Yes." Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to take Yan Liang and Wen Chou away.

At Cao Ang's signal, Zhang Liao ordered his men to put them in jail.

It was still dark at this time, and Zhang Liao led the naval soldiers back to Cao Ang's camp.

"Yuanlong, you have worked hard." Cao Ang greeted Zhang Liao and expressed his satisfaction with his battle record.

"I dare not!" Zhang Liao replied respectfully.

Cao Ang patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said, "Yuanlong, you have done a great job. Next, you will lead the navy to enter Jiangling City."

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord." Zhang Liao was very happy.

"Okay, go down and have a rest." Cao Ang said.

"Yes!" Zhang Liao retreated.

Not long after Zhang Liao left, Liu Bei came to visit Cao Ang.

After Liu Bei entered the big tent, Cao Ang asked, "Xuan De, is there something you want to talk to me about?" "Zichuan, I'm very happy to hear that you conquered Jiangling," said Liu Bei.

"I'm just lucky." Cao Ang said calmly.

"Zichuan, I have something to discuss with you." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"Xuan De, please speak," said Cao Ang.

"It's like this, I think Liu Qi is too arrogant, he should be taught a lesson, otherwise he won't learn his lesson.

So I want to send him to the army to train him for a while." Liu Bei said.

Cao Ang raised his eyebrows. Liu Bei's words seemed to have some bad intentions. He was warning him.

"Well, since Xuande has made his decision, let's do as Xuande wishes." Cao Ang said.

"Liu Qi is my nephew after all. If he is too cruel, I am afraid that other officials will be disheartened."

Cao Ang's words sounded high-sounding, but in fact he just didn't want to help Liu Qi.

"Thank you very much, Zichuan." Liu Bei's face twitched and he felt like an idiot.

Cao Ang smiled slightly: "Xuan De, you don't have to be polite. Do we two brothers still need to care about these things?"

"By the way, I just heard that Zichuan sent navy to attack Jiangling. Why?" Liu Bei pretended to be stupid.

"Jiangxia County is located in the northwest corner of Jingzhou. Attacking Jiangling by both land and sea is the best option," Cao Ang explained.

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes widened. He didn't expect Cao Ang to admit it so readily.

"What's the matter? Xuande has any objection?" Cao Ang asked.

"No, I just think it's a bit abrupt." Liu Bei said awkwardly: "As expected, great minds think alike. I think so too."

"Haha, Xuande, we can be said to be heroes with similar views and interests." Cao Ang laughed.

The two talked for a long time and finally ended the topic.

Before Liu Bei left, he said, "Zichuan, I am going to send troops to attack Cao Cao."

"Oh, when does Xuande plan to send troops?" Cao Ang asked.

"The sooner the better." Liu Bei said.

"Since Xuande has decided to send troops, let's act as soon as possible," Cao Ang suggested.

"Then I'll leave first." Liu Bei bowed and left.

After Liu Bei left, Cao Ang fell into deep thought.

"Yuan Shu, you are not my opponent yet, so just wait for death." Cao Ang said coldly.

The next day, Cao Ang brought Pang Tong, Ju Shou, Xun You, Tian Feng, Guo Jia and other advisers to Jiangxia City.

Yuan Tan and Lu Bu had already packed up and were waiting for Cao Ang's arrival.

"Greetings, my lord! Long live our king!" Everyone knelt down to Cao Ang.

"Stand up." Cao Ang said.

Everyone stood up, and Cao Ang looked around: "This time I came to Jiangxia to capture Jiangling and seize Yanzhou. Do you have confidence?"

Yuan Shao and the others looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Don't worry, my lord. Our army will definitely capture Jiangling and crush Cao Cao."

Cao Ang nodded: "Then let's go. The day we take Jiangling will be the day for you to establish your career."

"Yes, sir!" Yuan Shao and others answered in unison.

Then Cao Ang led the army and marched towards Jiangling.

At the same time, Cao Cao received news that Jiangling had fallen.

"What? Jiangling was lost? Yan Liang and Wen Chou were captured?" Cao Cao was shocked.

Cao Cao originally thought that with his strength, he could easily resist Cao Ang's navy. However, he never expected that Cao Ang was insidious and cunning, and actually broke through Jiangling by sneak attack.

"Pass the order down, officials at all levels immediately organize military affairs and prepare to defend Xiangyang, and allocate food and grass to the army in Jiangling." Cao Cao hurriedly ordered. (End of this chapter)
