Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 23 The last straw for Liu Bei!
  Far away on the other side of the Yangtze River, Cao Ren and Xu Huang had led their troops to the river, and densely packed warships were passing by like locusts.

Not far ahead is Jiangdong Water Village!

Today, there are only 20,000 people left in Jiangdong Water Village, and most of them have followed Zhou Yu to attack Jiangxia City.

So when the Jiangdong Navy saw that Cao Cao's army had arrived at their doorstep, they felt only despair in their hearts.

"Why did Cao Cao suddenly come to attack Jiangdong? Could it be that Gong Jin's plan has been known to Cao Cao?"

When Lu Su saw the mighty Cao Jun on the river, his face suddenly turned pale. He never expected that Cao Jun would come so quickly. It was as if it had been planned long ago.

"Quick, prepare to fight. This place is the gateway to Jiangdong. You must not miss anything!"

Under Lu Su's order, the remaining 20,000 people in Jiangdong Water Village quickly gathered and boarded warships. However, facing Cao's army that was ten times their size, there was no hope at all.

Lu Su sent someone to notify Sun Quan and asked him to send reinforcements, but he knew in his heart that it was too late to ask for help now.

"Hahaha, the Prime Minister really has a clever plan. Jiangdong Water Village is empty. We came at the right time!"

Cao Ren suddenly became proud when he saw that there were not many people in Jiangdong Water Village.

Xu Huang on the side said: "General, don't be careless. Jiangdong Navy is very powerful. Although our army is powerful, it is not good at surface warfare, so we must fight quickly."

"Humph, of course I know."

Cao Ren snorted coldly and shouted loudly: "Send the order, the whole army attacks!"

……

Cao's army raided Jiangdong Water Village, catching Lu Su by surprise. The soldiers who gathered in a hurry were already frightened after seeing Cao Cao's army.

boom!
  The warships of Cao Jun and Jiangdong's warships collided violently, causing huge waves on the water surface, and Jiangdong's warships almost capsized.

"kill!"

On the warship, Cao Jun's troops were like wolves and tigers. They roared and jumped onto Jiangdong's warship and began to fight desperately!

For a moment, the water on the riverside became chaotic.

The only thing Jiangdong Navy can rely on now is the water stronghold they built. As long as they can hold the water stronghold, there is hope that reinforcements will arrive.

Therefore, after losing thousands of soldiers, the remaining Jiangdong Navy troops retreated to the water stronghold under Lu Su's order. With the strong water stronghold and the water battles that their Jiangdong Navy was good at, they actually ended up in a stalemate with Cao Jun. .

"Fortunately, I, Jiang Dong Erlang, am brave and brave. If I just hold on like this, I still have a chance!"

In terms of battlefield command, Lu Su was not as good as Zhou Yu. His face had already turned pale at this moment. He was relieved when he saw that Cao Jun's offensive was blocked.

However, the sudden appearance of Cao Cao's army, like falling from the sky, made him feel huge uneasiness. He also understood that with these 20,000 people, it was just a fantasy to stop Cao Cao's army, which could only delay it for a while.

Cao Ren stood on the huge warship, looking at the battlefield ahead, and suddenly let out a cold snort.

"Jiangdong Navy does have some skills. It seems that it will not be so easy to capture the water stronghold. Order the army to attack in turn. Let's see how long these 20,000 people can hold it!"

At the same time, Jiangxia was already in flames of war.

A few days ago, Zhou Yu led his army to Jiangxia City. Liu Qi had indeed gone to Xiangyang. Jiangxia City was ownerless, so he launched a fierce attack on Jiangxia City.

Attacking a city is not that simple. Moreover, Jiangxia is very wealthy and has many soldiers. Even if Liu Qi is not around, Liu Qi's men know that they cannot let Jiangxia City fall into Jiangdong's hands.

So the siege began for several days.

But just when Jiangxia City was about to be captured, a piece of news quickly reached Zhou Yu.

"Grand Governor, what's wrong, Cao Ren, Xu Huang and other generals of Cao's army have led an army of 200,000 to attack our Jiangdong water stronghold. The water stronghold is in danger. Please return to our aid quickly!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu became furious and suddenly He slapped the table and stood up: "How is this possible?!"

Because he knew that if he wanted to cross the river to attack the water stronghold, it would take at least several days. At that time, he probably had just left the Jiangdong water stronghold. How did Cao Jun know?
  This didn't seem to be a spur-of-the-moment idea, it was more like it had been planned a long time ago, and even he himself was part of the plan.

This humiliating feeling of being crushed by his IQ made him furious and his face turned red.

"Who among Cao's troops could have such a plan and actually see through my plan?"

After thinking about the counselors and generals in Cao's army one by one, he couldn't figure out who had seen through him.

"Grand Governor, make a decision quickly!" the general beside him urged.

You must know that Jiangdong Water Village is the gateway to Jiangdong. If it is breached, Jiangdong will be like a flat river. Cao Cao's army can even enter Jiangdong directly!

It would be a little difficult to drive him away again, as if he had occupied Jiangxia.

"Back to the rescue!"

Zhou Yu made this decision with difficulty. In comparison, of course Jiangdong's hometown is more important.

The soldiers attacking the city at the front didn't understand what was happening. They were obviously about to capture Jiangxia City, but at this time they retreated, which had a huge impact on morale.

Zhou Yu retreated in despair, but Liu Bei, because the previous information was always inaccurate, so this time they stepped up the collection of intelligence.

Therefore, they also knew that Jiangxia City was being attacked by Zhou Yu, and they suddenly felt extremely anxious.

"Lord, we must be quick, there is no time for us now!"

Zhuge Liang knew the urgency of the matter and quickly said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was also a little panicked. Without Jiang Xia, they would be miserable, so this time they didn't even have to rest and moved forward at full speed.

Fortunately, they did not relax in the past few days, and they were not far from Jiangxia City, so that afternoon, they finally arrived at Jiangxia City, which they had longed for.

But after they arrived, Jiangdong's army had already withdrawn, and it seemed that Jiangxia City had not been breached.

"Fortunately, we are finally safe this time!"

Zhuge Liang felt relieved when he saw this.

They came to the city gate and called the gate.

"Open the door quickly, Uncle Liu Bei and Emperor Liu are here. We have already made an agreement with Mr. Liu Qi!"

But what appeared on the city wall at this time was not only Liu Qi or Liu Qi's men, but Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!
  "Hahaha, Liu Bei, you have today too, look what this is!"

Cai Mao laughed proudly and threw something away.

Liu Bei looked down and found that the thing was actually Liu Qi's head!
  "Liu Qi is dead, go back to where you came from!"

Zhang Yun also laughed.

It turned out that according to Cao Cao's plan, they had mobilized tens of thousands of troops and arrived not far from Jiangxia City. As expected, they waited until Liu Qi left the city.

After that, they successfully killed Liu Qi, but they didn't expect Zhou Yu to come at this time, so they hid aside and waited for the opportunity.

A few days later, they suddenly discovered that Zhou Yu's army had retreated. This made them extremely happy, so they took Jiangxia City without any effort.

In fact, they are only a little faster than Liu Bei, but this is the last straw for Liu Bei!
