The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 226 Kong Ming watches the battle on the river, Han Yong fights Zhou Yu

Kong Ming and Liu Bei agreed to come to Jiangling to meet Luo Yuan. It would normally take more than a day to go upstream from Chaisang by boat to Jiangling. Kong Ming asked people to row the boat.

He wished he could get to Jiangling immediately, but seeing that he was too slow, Kong Ming anxiously took action himself. Now that he had something to do, he calmed down!
He knew very well that Luo Yuan had done so many things just for Sun Shangxiang. Sometimes one does not need to be polite when proposing for marriage!

Forcing the marriage is also an option. If Liu Bei agreed to Sun Quan's suggestion, Luo Yuan would definitely not let Liu Bei go.

All past favors are useless. Liu Bei did no favor to Luo Yuan, and they were just acquaintances.

Kong Ming smiled bitterly in his heart. Liu Bei's chaos completely disrupted his plans.

It doesn't matter whether to ask for marriage or not. What's important is to join forces with Jiangdong. What Kong Ming has always hoped is that Luo Yuan will not disturb his plan.

Luo Yuan also gave him face and did not ruin his show when he arrived at Chaisang.

Everyone had a tacit understanding, but now Liu Bei and Sun Quan wanted to provoke Luo Yuan, which would be courting death.

Sun Quan deliberately made things difficult for Luo Yuan, and Kong Ming just thought it was petty. As a prince, he made things difficult for another cruel and ruthless prince just to vent his anger. Isn't this crazy?

No sense of the overall situation.

When Kong Ming's boat passed Lukou, he saw the Jiangdong army on the shore attacking the Lukou Water Fort. There was raging fighting on the shore, and the Jiangdong army was advancing both by water and by land, but Han Xuan's troops actually defended the Lukou Water Fort.

Kong Ming was stunned when he saw the battle between the Jiangdong armies. When the Jiangdong armies were fighting, countless fire circles fell from the sky and the earth was suddenly burning.

"It's actually a fire attack. Han Yong of Lukou Water Fort doesn't seem to be incompetent!" Seeing that the Jiangdong army on the shore had to sound the retreat, Kong Ming was shocked.

After the battle, Lukou Water Fort was basically intact, and the damaged areas were immediately repaired. The morale of Han Xuan's army was quite good.

Zhao Yun thought about it and wondered if he could succeed in attacking the city. It was unlikely, as Han Xuan's army was hiding in the water fort and would not come out to fight.

Take advantage of geographical location!
Although the gate of the water fort was on the shore, Han Yong had deployed countless archers on the side of the gate. They just shot arrows. The arrows fell like black clouds, and the Jiangdong army could not get close at all! ~
Occasionally, some generals and cavalrymen would approach, and they would be immediately greeted with even more intensive arrows. As long as they could afford it, they could not be defeated at all!
Zhou Yu did not have any large engineering vehicles or other engineering equipment.

Zhao Yun's face turned pale as he thought about it: "Military Advisor, this Han Yong is really no fool. Just looking at this arrangement, he knows a lot about defense!"

Kong Ming looked at the shore and said, "Han Yong will definitely not retreat. Han Xuan has already sent 100,000 troops from Changsha to support him. He only needs to hold Lukou, and that will be a great achievement!"

But I had never heard of this person before, but he defeated Luo Yuan in one battle. It was really weird.

Just as Kong Ming and Zhao Yun were talking, countless burning fire circles flew up in the sky above Lukou Water Fort!
Zhao Yun was shocked, and Kong Ming was also stunned when he saw the fireballs flying into the sky, but then he calmed down.

This is a trebuchet!
Cao Cao had it under his command, but in the area south of the Yangtze River, he only knew of one person who could make a catapult.

Kong Ming understood: "Zilong, it must be Luo Yuan who is helping Han Yong to take back Lukou. I'm afraid Zhou Yu will return empty-handed. It seems that Gong Qi doesn't want Zhou Yu to take back Lukou!"

Zhao Yun's face flashed with surprise: "Military Advisor, is Gong Qi in Lukou?"

"No, if a man like Gongqi wants to help Han Xuan, why would he need to be in Lukou in person? He must be in Jiangling at the moment, but there should be Gongqi's troops near Lukou, but I don't know if it is Huang Zhong or Gan Ning!"

Zhao Yun was surprised and asked, "What is he going to do?" Kong Ming waved his feather fan, his beard fluttering in the river breeze: "Of course, the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam. The Jiangdong and Han Xuan families are fighting, and it's a matter of life and death. It's just convenient for Gong Qi to make a fuss."

Kong Ming frowned, still unable to understand what would happen to Luo Yuan next.

He decided to go to Jiangling to meet Luo Yuan first.

On a mountain in Lukou, Liao Hua was also observing the battlefield. He was ordered to wait for the opportunity here, but he was not sure what the opportunity was.

He hid in a valley with his 3,000 men. They did not make a fire during the day and slept in the woods at night. They only ate dry food and did not need to go out.

After Liao Hua surrendered to Luo Yuan, his men were reorganized into mountain infantry. These soldiers were originally refugees and bandits, so it was common for them to go into the mountains and forests.

After following Luo Yuan, they no longer had to worry about supplies and food, and they lived in extreme comfort.

"Han Yong is a loser. He should have taken advantage of the situation and attacked. Zhou Yu would have been defeated!"

"Hey, General, Han Yong is not us..."

"Yes, the general has eaten."

Liao Hua looked at his old brother, took a breath, and took the dinner handed to him, which was a dried fish and a piece of bread, washed down with water.

Liao Hua took a bite and expressed his feelings to his old brother: "I am anxious. The rules under the lord are strict. We have followed the lord, but we have not made any achievements yet. We will definitely have to expand the army to attack Changsha next year. If our Shanzi Camp has no military achievements, how can we have the nerve to expand the army?"

As long as the army is expanded, these veterans may be promoted!
After all, Luo Yuan’s rules are very clear: promotion is based on merit, regardless of personal connections, background or family background.

Even the commander-in-chief did not have the power to appoint subordinates. All soldiers' promotions were under the jurisdiction of the Military Command, and promotions were based on personal merit.

Several veteran soldiers quickly finished their biscuits, their eyes sparkling with excitement: "General, you're right. We also want to be a sergeant. A monthly salary of fifty copper coins is really enviable!"

"Military pay. Those who can get military pay are elite."

"When have people like us ever touched money? We only have the chance after following the lord. When we go back to the war, we will definitely chop off a few heads and get a share of the military pay. Maybe we can even become a general in the future!"

Liao Hua stroked his beard and said, "You know nothing. I'm already a sergeant, earning fifty yuan a month, and other good things. I'll also get a house and five acres of land. I'm a bachelor and a soldier, I don't know what to do."

Everyone laughed, but everyone had their own standards in their hearts. If they served as soldiers for Luo Yuan, they would think that there would be benefits in the future, but if they served as soldiers for others, they would not even dare to think about these things.

The soldiers in the army are aware of these things, and there are special people in the army to publicize the military policies and discipline.

As everyone was chatting, a soldier came to inform Liao Hua, "General, the Jiangdong Army seems to be going around the water fort and attacking from behind. They are only ten miles away from us!"

Liao Hua quickly got up and looked at the sky. It was getting dark soon and the enemy must be planning a night attack!

Liao Hua thought that Zhou Yu must want to pass through the valley under his control, "Prepare for war, change the flag to Han, from now on we are all Han Xuan's army!"
