The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 235: Zhou Yu, a boy with no moral integrity
Zhou Yu also knew that the Jingzhou navy had more ships and soldiers, and this small victory was not enough to change the overall situation.

A prolonged battle would definitely be disadvantageous to you, so you might as well quit while you're ahead.

Then, in the midst of this chaos, a melodious piano music rang out.

It's like the sound of nature, relaxing and refreshing.

The warships of Jiangdong turned their rudders to the graceful tune and slowly sailed farther and farther away.

We watched the enemy drive several miles away, while our side was still in chaos.

They wanted to catch up but couldn't, Yu Jin and others could only look at the river and sigh helplessly.

Wen Pin, the naval general, was so angry that he jumped up and down.

I watched helplessly as the enemy killed the soldiers on more than a dozen ships.

Watch them throw the body into the river.

He even blatantly pulled out his own military flag.

Then I watched them take the oars and head east.

In the end, these ships were a bargain for these Jiangdong people.

Zhou Yu made a huge profit in this battle!

So they exchanged a dozen broken fishing boats for a dozen of their warships.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others turned pale.

Yu Jin, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, had an even more gloomy expression.

I originally thought that the navy under my command was not as good as the Jiangdong Army.

At least I can defend barely, right?

Who would have thought it would be so unbearable!
This battle not only resulted in the loss of several thousand troops, but also the loss of more than twenty warships.

The army's formation was also completely disrupted.

Now we have to stop again for reorganization.

Order all warships to stop on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Let Wen Pin, Zhang Yun and others be responsible for reorganizing the team.

He hurriedly got off the boat with Liu Ba, Cai Mao and others.

After this lesson, even he, the general of Cao's camp, understood it.

The Jingzhou navy is simply unreliable.

It is too unsafe to stay on the boat, so try to go ashore if possible.

But before they could set up camp, reports came in that the "Red Horse" had crossed the river.

The troops advancing on the south bank were ambushed by the enemy again.

Caught off guard, more than a thousand people were lost.

Yu Jin was furious when he heard this and started to curse:
"Zhou Yu, little brat, is bullying me too much!"

"How dare you attack my army?!"

"Once our army crosses the Yangtze River, we will take his head and hang it above the camp gate!"

Even Yu Wenzhe, who is always calm and composed.

Being teased by Zhou Yu again and again, he was really upset!
When the generals around heard this, they were immediately embarrassed.

It was natural for the two armies to clash.

Now that Zhou Yu has shown up, what else is there to be afraid of?
Yu Jin's original plan was to lead an army of 100,000 out of Jiangxia.

On the surface, it was to fight a battle with Jiangdong.

In fact, it was to intimidate Jiangdong and compare the strength of both sides.

If Zhou Yu was a true hero, he should have come out and fought with bayonets upright!

Instead of using this kind of annoying sneak attack.

How can you be so unethical?!
Even though he suffered a little loss at this moment, Yu Jin still did not realize Zhou Yu's cunning.

At this time, Chief Clerk Liu Ba stepped forward with a helpless look on his face and said:

"General, most of our troops come from the north."

"He is good at horseback archery but not proficient in naval warfare."

"Now we are fighting the enemy on the river."

“It’s like giving up your strengths to compare your weaknesses.”

"It's really a disadvantage to rush into a war!"

"Hmph!" Yu Jin was also a little drunk at this time.

At this time, he said with a stiff upper lip:

"We have a large army, so why should we be afraid of Zhou Yu's mere 30,000 men?"

"We were suddenly defeated today because we were not well prepared enough."

"We will regroup and fight again tomorrow."

"I just don't believe that Zhou Yu can really turn the world upside down!"

After saying that, he looked at the guards beside him and said:

"Send the order and let Zhang Yun lead the vanguard troops."

"From now on, General Wen Pinwen will be in full charge of the entire navy."

"The Jingzhou navy will engage in a head-on battle with the Jiangdong army on the water." "I will personally lead the Northern Army on the shore to support them!"

Cai Mao, who was standing next to him, turned green when he heard this.

He has been in charge of the Jingzhou navy for many years.

Now Yu Jin arranges Wen Pin to take the position and take charge of the entire navy.

He also let his nephew Zhang Yun lead the vanguard.

Isn't this obviously an attempt to seize his power?

But Yu Jin was the general appointed by Cao Cao to garrison Jingzhou.

Even if Cai Mao was unhappy, he didn't dare to say no.

Kuai Yue, who was standing by, was arranging for the ship to dock.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt:
"Excuse me, the river here is narrow and the waterway is winding."

"If the enemy sets up camp along the river and holds on."

"I'm afraid we can't attack even if we want to."

Yu Jin was touched by Kuai Yue's words and frowned and thought for a while.

Finally, he had to follow Liu Ba's instructions and issued a second order:

"Send someone across the river to convey the order, and the troops on the south bank should burn down the camp immediately."

"Come and join the army. This man is unfamiliar with the place."

"Don't follow Zhou Yu's path again"

But before he could finish his words, there was noise outside again.

Not long after, a scout ran in in a panic:
"General! The navy of Dongwu is back again!"

Maybe it was because of the recent battle that the soldiers were scared.

At this moment, they even forgot the etiquette of bowing when entering the tent.

"Damn it! Zhou Yu keeps provoking me!"

"So arrogant? This general will go and meet him in person!"

As he said this, Yu Jin walked out of the tent angrily and even drew the long sword from his waist.

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others were at a loss whether to laugh or cry when they saw this.

The enemy is on the river, and we are not fighting face to face with knives.

What's the point of fighting with swords?
A group of civil and military officials hurriedly followed him out of the tent.

When they reached the river, everyone looked from afar.

I saw the river water shining golden in the sunlight, and it looked vast and white.

Several warships of the Eastern Wu were coming from downstream in the waves.

However, they were very far away from Cao's army and did not approach us.

Instead, it moved closer to the other side.

Looking further east, there are still many more densely packed behind.

It looks like the enemy is coming out in full force this time.

Although there were fewer ships than Cao's army, their formation was neat and their guard was tight.

Warships and battleships were shuttling back and forth among them.

In terms of momentum, they were not inferior to Cao’s army.

Yu Jin calmed down after seeing this and said suspiciously:
"Is Zhou Yu planning to set up camp on the other side?"

"Order the entire army to be on high alert and not to act rashly!"

Seeing this, Liu Ba nodded and said:
"Yes, he wants to confront us across the river."

"If we can't get rid of this enemy force."

"We can't get across the river. Zhou Yu is trying to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out!"

"Hehe." Cai Mao sneered when he heard that.

"I thought Zhou Yu was also a character."

"Now it seems. That's all."

"In terms of manpower, our army has tens of thousands more than his, and in terms of warships, our ships are all new!"

"I have many times more food and supplies than him!"

"He actually overestimated his own capabilities and wanted to confront our army."

"Okay, if he stops the ship to build a camp, we will also build a camp and see who can drag down the other!"

"Once the stalemate lasts too long, he won't be able to win the battle, and he won't be able to get enough supplies."

"The soldiers are tired and their morale is low. They will collapse without a fight!"

Yu Jin was also speechless when he heard this.

Although Cai Mao was not good at leading troops, his analysis was reasonable.

After some consideration, he nodded and said:

"In that case, immediately order the navy and army to build a camp on the spot!"
