Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 133 Zhou Lang’s plan
I saw thirty large ships downstream, spread out in a row, and there was a general wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand.There was a person next to him, wearing black attire, a sword on his back, and a copper chain in his hand.

The ship rides the wind as fast as thunder.

"Hurry up and sail forward. If you go to Jiangxia, go to Jiangxia!"

When Chen Qun saw it, his face immediately turned pale and he hurriedly urged Xiahou De.

He saw that the two generals in front of him were Ling Tong and Gan Ning.The opponent's formation was obviously not an invitation for Chen Qun to come back and discuss important matters.

A place of right and wrong, don't stay for long!
At this moment, he still believed in Zhou Yu's sincerity, but he also expected that it must be his generals who could not accept the end of the Sun-Liu alliance, so they sent troops without Zhou Yu's knowledge and came to stir up trouble.

"Are they here to cause trouble? Chen Yushi, don't be afraid. I will protect you after the break!"

At this moment, Xiahou De was not afraid at all, but he was really a bit brave. While urging the warship to start and return along the road, he personally picked up the sword and stood on the ship, waiting for the arrival of Jiangdong's warship.

Chen Qun couldn't care less about Xiahou De at this critical moment.He had no choice but to get off the boat, get on Cao Jun's warship, row the oars, and move forward in a hurry.

"Chen Yushi, our Chief Governor has another important matter to discuss with Chen Yushi. I hope Chen Yushi will not be too worried and follow me back to the camp."

The warships of Ling Tong and Gan Ning caught up in an instant. Ling Tong kept shouting in order to stabilize Chen Qun.

"The traitor, you are so brave. You dare to chase the imperial court official with a knife!"

Xiahou De roared, held two swords, jumped up, and boarded Ling Tong's ship.

There were more than a dozen pawns on the boat, and they hurriedly twisted their spears to stab them. Xiahou De brandished his two swords, and in a few ups and downs, he knocked down the pawns.

Xiahou De felt even more invincible. He held two swords and looked in the direction of Ling Tong.

He could only see a few feet away when a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and a red light flashed by. Before Xiahou De could react, he felt his neck tightening and being entangled with a copper chain.

"You...I am the Prime Minister..."

Xiahou De's neck was strangled and he couldn't breathe. It was extremely difficult to speak.At this moment, he abandoned the two swords and struggled to open the copper chain with his hands.

"Go!"

Gan Ning shouted coldly, and with a wave of the copper chain, Xiahou De was thrown up, did two somersaults in the air, fell into the huge waves in the middle of the river, and was instantly submerged, for the fish in the river.

"Arrogant, looks like a dog, but turns out to be a big idiot, vulnerable!"

Gan Ning put away the copper chain, looked at the direction where Jiang Xin Xiahou De fell, and said with a disdainful smile.

"Move in quickly and capture Chen Qun. A few miles further, we will reach the territory of Jiangxia. It will be difficult to capture him!"

Ling Tong urged the warship, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it circled from left to right and surrounded Chen Qun's boat.

"Chen Yushi, forgive us for being rude, today is the day you die!"

Ling Tong and Gan Ning have already served as Zhou Yu's generals, so there is no need to keep them alive. Chen Qun must die!

Therefore, they did not want to waste any time arguing. After giving the order, the crossbowmen of many warships picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at Chen Qun's boat.

"It's really god damn me!"

Chen Qun was hiding in the cabin at the moment, not daring to come out, but secretly complaining in his heart, wondering if he could escape this.

"Fire arrows!"

Gan Ning suddenly lowered his hand that was raised in the air, signaling the start of the attack.

Boom!despair!
Suddenly, there was a sound of cannon on the river!
From the tributary on the left, more than a hundred warships suddenly emerged from the tributary, like a rainbow, and plunged straight into the battlefield!

Generals Gan Ning and Ling Tong saw that a few miles ahead, they would reach the realm of Jiangxia.

If Chen Qun is intercepted and killed here, he can blame Jingzhou!
According to Zhou Yu's plan, the Sun-Liu alliance is unbreakable, but it has to change Cao Cao's offensive strategy!

At the moment, Cao Cao is using both falsehood and reality, and there is a possibility of war on both the east and west fronts, making it difficult for Jiangdong to figure out.

If they want to send troops to the western front, the Hefei front line will be empty of troops. If Cao Cao really sends his generals to lead the attack, Sun Quan, Tai Shici and other general Chaisang may not be able to resist it.

But if we move eastward and approach Jingzhou in the west, we must be on guard!
If Cao Cao attacks Hefei with all his strength, and Jiangdong fights with Cao Cao with all his strength, then Jingzhou, which controls the natural dangers of the Yangtze River in the west and has a hundred thousand naval troops, takes advantage of the opportunity and invades, Jiangdong will collapse and be completely destroyed in an instant.

The best way is to make Cao Cao and Jingzhou merge and fight to the death.No matter which side wins, they have been severely weakened and unable to launch another attack on Jiangdong.

And the losing side will also become the target of division between Jiangdong and the winner!

"If Jingzhou is weak and is just a vassal of Jiangdong, I will do my best to support and fight against Cao Cao. But now that Jingzhou is powerful, it is no longer the Cai Mao in power in the past. Supporting Jingzhou without understanding the current affairs at this time is tantamount to raising a tiger. It’s also a source of trouble!”

"Even if the lord agrees, I will still plan to intervene. As long as I kill Chen Qun, put the blame on Jingzhou, and make Cao Cao angry and attack, my Jiangdong affairs will be half done!"

Zhou Yu once explained this to the generals when he sent Gan Ning and Ling Tong off.

Some of the generals can understand, but most of them are not sure in their hearts. They think that if the governor makes the decision without authorization, he is likely to cause big trouble and even anger the lord.

But the general is outside, and military orders are not obeyed!

Moreover, the Grand Governor has always been tenacious and decisive in his actions, and his lord Sun Quan also trusted him very much, and even gave him the power to make decisions on the fly, to kill first and then report later.

……

"How can such a bold traitor do this!"

On the oncoming warship, a general was fully armored, holding a sickle with eight hooks in his hand, and shouted loudly.

Behind them, hundreds of armored iron ships were spread out in a row, with terrifying momentum, approaching Jiangdong's warships step by step.

"Wenyuan!"

"Wenyuan, come and save me!"

Chen Qun hid in the cabin, took a closer look, and recognized that the general on the big ship was Zhang Liao!

So he was so excited that he hurriedly climbed out of the cabin and shouted to Zhang Liao.

On the battlefield, the shouts of death shook the sky, and gongs and drums sounded. Zhang Liao did not hear Chen Qun's call, but when he looked from a distance, he recognized the battle flags of Prime Minister Cao's men. He knew that the one trapped here was His own troops and horses, so he rushed out to support without thinking.

"When did Cao Cao have such a majestic warship? How come he is here?"

Ling Tong said in surprise when he saw the big ship coming.

"It seems that the rumors are true. I am afraid that the Cao thieves have really moved to the eastern front. The hulls of these warships are sinking severely and their drafts are extremely deep. They must be transporting soldiers and horses, or equipment and food."

Gan Ning's eyesight was very good and his mind was as sharp as a hair. He had already figured out the clues after just one glance.

"No matter what, the Governor's regulations cannot be abolished. I will stop the enemy ships, and you will attack as usual, leaving Chen Qun's head behind! Otherwise, you and I will not be able to go back and deliver the mission!"

While Ling Tong was speaking, he commanded the warships and wanted to stop Zhang Liao.However, although Zhang Liao's warship was overloaded and moved slowly, its hull was protected by heavy armor and could not be harmed.They are tall and powerful, and once they collide, it will be like being in a deserted place!

In order to quickly catch up with Chen Qun, Jiangdong's warships were all light and fast boats. They were far inferior to Zhang Liao in terms of tonnage and weight. Under the collision of Zhang Liao's big ship, they were scattered everywhere in an instant, and six or seven were lost. The small boat, with more than a hundred sailors on board, relied on their superb water properties to swim down the river and gradually swam to the shore, but they were already in a miserable state.Seeing that Ling Tong could not stop Zhang Liao, Gan Ning was afraid that he would make a mistake and be unable to explain himself in front of the generals, so he ignored Chen Qun's ship and turned around to join the battle.

Although the Jiangdong Navy has great disadvantages with its ships, its soldiers are well-trained and good at water warfare.Under the command and cooperation of Gan Ning and Ling Tong, they quickly stabilized their formation, weaving between the ships, and relying on their agile movement, they continued to fight.

It is not easy for the big ship to push away Jiangdong's unknown weakling in just a moment.

While commanding the warships to fend off the enemy, Zhang Liao carefully searched for targets and soon locked the ship where Chen Qun was.

"Rush over, clear the way, and get close to the ship!"

Zhang Liao's eyes were as bright as a torch, he pointed at Chen Qun's ship and said in a deep voice.

"Here!"

The big ship rushed over like an overwhelming mountain.Several small boats from the east of the river tried to block it from the flanks, but they were like a mantis using its arms as a cart, and it had no effect at all. Instead, they were knocked over in the middle of the river.

"Wenyuan, I'm here, help me quickly!"

When Chen Qun saw Zhang Liao was close at hand, tears of excitement filled his eyes. He ran to the deck, stood up and shouted loudly.

Gan Ning saw it from a distance, but he was far away and could not get close.He hurriedly hung the copper chain in his hand on his waist, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow!
"Whoosh!"

The bow is opened like the full moon, and the arrow skills are like shooting stars!
Chen Qun was raising his hand to greet Zhang Liao. The arrow hit his shoulder. Chen Qun screamed, turned over and fell to the ground.

Gan Ning was about to fire an arrow again, but a large ship from Cao's camp collided with him again. Gan Ning hurriedly abandoned his bow and arrow and directed the ship to avoid it.

Zhang Liao took advantage of this opportunity and rescued Chen Qun on the warship.

On the river, the situation has changed again!

Ling Tong saw that the ship was so powerful that he could not win by force, so he ordered hundreds of naval troops to dive into the water with the intention of destroying the bottom of the ship.

Zhang Liao's big ships all have bayonets and caltrops on the bottom to guard against the activities of these water ghosts, but the Jiangdong navy is the best navy in the world!
After less than an hour of fighting, some of the boats began to leak and sank to the bottom one after another.

The eight hundred soldiers and horses on the ship all followed the ship and fed the fish and shrimp bastards in the middle of the river!

These northern soldiers are not accustomed to water. If they fall into the water on this river, their survival rate is almost zero.

"Wen Yuan, the grace of survival, the kindness will be reborn. Chen Qun will never forget it!"

Chen Qun was rescued on the ship and survived the disaster, and was moved to tears.The arrow wound on his shoulder was not serious. After removing the arrowhead and applying medicine and bandaging, it was no longer a serious problem.

"Under the command of the Prime Minister, I moved eastward and stationed troops in Hefei. I heard the cry of killing in the distance, so I came to spy on it and saw that it was our warship, so I went to fight."

Zhang Liao recounted his origins in a few words.

"Zhou Yu was treacherous and his words didn't count. Instead, he came to intercept and kill me. Xiahou De didn't know his strength and tried to stop me, but he was killed by them."

Chen Qun stroked the wound and remembered that an hour ago, he still had no doubts about Zhou Yu.I didn't expect that the Governor of Jiangdong would be so vicious, and that I would be so simple and stupid!
Chen Qun felt regretful.

The two of them had just said a few words when suddenly there was a sound of drums, like thunder, which shook the entire river.

In the river downstream, more than a hundred armored warships were speeding towards them.

"not good!"

"Zhou Yu personally led the navy here."

"Jiangdong Navy is invincible in the world! Wenyuan, retreat quickly! Otherwise we will all die here!"

Chen Qun raised his eyes and said in shock.

I saw a person on the big ship in the middle of the distance, wearing silver armor and white robes, with a sword hanging on his waist, standing with his head up. It was Zhou Yu.

Zhang Liao nodded and hurriedly called for the ships to retreat quickly.

Once the large ships retreated, the small ships would be unable to stop them, and the naval forces of Ling Tong and Gan Ning also suffered heavy losses and were unable to fight back.We had no choice but to let the big ship move away in a matter of seconds.

"Grand Governor, the two of us failed to get rid of Chen Qun, which is a capital crime. Please punish me, Grand Governor."

Ling Tong and Gan Ning got on the ship, came to Zhou Yu and the generals, knelt on the ground, and said shamefully.

The two of them are rare talents in Jiangdong and the elites of the Young Master Sect. Zhou Yu sent them here in order to be as fast as thunder and foolproof.

But the result was still unsatisfactory. Chen Qun escaped, and his side lost more than a dozen warships.

"After the Grand Governor sent you two away, he was worried that something might change, so he personally led the generals to come to meet you."

Lu Meng stood beside Zhou Yu and said.

Gan Ning bowed again and said gratefully: "Thank you very much for your caring heart, the Governor. We have fulfilled the great Governor's trust!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and asked thoughtfully: "Who are these people? It doesn't seem to be for war. The ship is heavy and has a lot of load. Most of them are transport ships."

Ling Tong said angrily: "Zhang Liao of Yanmen. If he hadn't broken out and crossed the first gear, Chen Qun would have been dead long ago!"

"Zhang Liao?"

Zhou Yu stood up angrily, drew his sword, and thrust it into the deck.The blade of the sword trembled, making a buzzing sound and shining with dazzling brilliance.

"This man has extraordinary military skills and is an expert on the waterway. He will definitely be my close enemy in Jiangdong in the future!"

"If I don't get rid of him, I will feel uneasy. If Cao Cao's thieves intend to invade Jiangdong in the future, Zhang Liao will definitely be the first choice general!"

Zhou Yu was still angry and looked at the direction where Zhang Liao's troops disappeared. If he hadn't gone further and reached Guan Yu's territory in Jiangxia, he would have commanded the warships to pursue them.

Lu Meng scratched his head and said in confusion: "People say that soldiers in the north are least accustomed to water warfare. Why are Guan Yu in Shanxi and Zhang Liao in Shanxi both good at this?"

Han Dang also nodded and said: "It's really strange. Xu Huang, another famous Shanxi general under Cao Cao, I heard is also used to water fighting, but he is not as famous as Zhang Liao."

Zhou Yu said bitterly: "These past few days have been my troubles in Jiangdong. Sooner or later I will devise a plan to get rid of them. Including Guan Yu!"

Lu Meng hurriedly persuaded him: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. If Jiangxia sentries see it, it will be inconvenient. Let's go back to the camp and do our work."

Zhou Yu nodded, and all the generals supported him and returned to Poyang Lake Dazhai.

……

Chaisang County, inside Wuhou Palace.

Bu Lianshi hosted a banquet, and he was drinking with Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu. They were singing and dancing, which was extremely relaxing and stress-relieving.

Not long after, the chamberlain reported: "Poyang Prefect Bu Zhao, please see me."
