The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 322
The bandits on the shore finally surrendered.

Zheng Bao's death made them unable to afford to fight to the death any longer.There is no other way but to surrender.

On the other side, under the leadership of Zhou Cang and Huang Gai, the navy launched a strong attack on the bandits.

At the beginning of the war, these thieves did have some skills, and their strength in water warfare was quite strong. Although they were suppressed by Zhou Cang and Huang Gai, they were able to delay the deadly battle, preventing the water army from opening a breakthrough.

The battle continued, and the battle seemed extremely stalemate.Although Huang Gai Zhoucang tried his best to fight to the death, it was difficult to break through the bandits' defense.There are indeed some ways to fight in water with thieves and bandits.

But at this moment, the sound from the shore instantly shattered the fantasies of these thieves.

Zheng Bao is dead? !
They stared wide-eyed, did not expect their boss to die?

Now that the boss is dead, what are they doing?They are fighting to the death for Zheng Bao, but now that Zheng Bao has died in battle, how should they choose?

Both Huang Gai and Zhou Cang were overjoyed, seized the opportunity, and launched a fierce attack on the bandits. After a while, the bandits fell into a disadvantage and retreated steadily under the attack of the navy.

Zhou Cang shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will not die, but those who dare to resist will surely die!"

The thieves, who had already been defeated in their hearts, lost their assertion in an instant when Zhou Cang slammed them down like this.

After hesitating, some people chose to surrender, and then many people...

In the end, these bandit sailors all chose to surrender, and the clear water of Chaohu Lake has now turned blood red.In the fighting just now, there were not a few casualties.

Zhou Cang and the two took the prisoners, and when the flames at the pier gradually extinguished, they escorted a group of prisoners to Chen Ran's direction.

At this moment, Chen Ran is also taking prisoners.Of the 3 people brought back by Zheng Bao, three quarters were on the shore, and only one quarter were on the warships.

At this moment, a quarter of the 2 people were killed in battle, and the rest were all captured.

These thieves were indeed fierce. After a fight, Chen Ran's army suffered more than 2000 casualties.

In the water battle, 900 people were killed, and more than [-] people were killed or injured.This is because they took advantage of the enemy's unprepared sneak attack to achieve such a result. If the bandits had been on guard, their casualties would have been even greater.

Chen Ran watched Zhou Cang and the other two escort the prisoners, and said with a smile: "Yuan Fu, Gong Fu, you did a good job, Zheng Bao is dead, and the Chaohu bandits have been eliminated."

The two also arched their hands.

Chen Ran ordered again: "Gong Fu, you command the water army, and I will hand over the water village here to you to clean up. Yuan Fu, I will send you [-] troops, and you will be responsible for escorting these prisoners back to the city."

The two took the lead.

After this period of battle, the problem of Chaohu water pirates has been solved.But Chen Ran is very clear that the matter has not been resolved until now.

Just now he captured Zheng Bao's confidant, which is different from his cronies, as Zheng Bao's confidant, this person knows a lot of news about Zheng Bao, after Chen Ran's interrogation, Fang just got what he wanted.

Zheng Bao's attack on Hefei was really not a whim, but premeditated, and all of this was related to someone who came on a certain day. This was a deal.

Although there was no doubt that the transaction failed in the end, Chen Ran knew who the other party was.

Wujun Yan's family!

In Wu County, there are really many aristocratic families, the Sun family, the Lu family, the Yan family...

Although they may not be ranked first in the entire Han Dynasty, there is no doubt that their influence in Wu County is large enough.

Chen Ran asked in a cold voice: "Is this the plan of the Yan family? Are there other people involved?"

Under Chen Ran's coercion, this man was frightened for a while, and he quickly replied: "I don't know, but I learned from Zheng Bao that it seems that the Yan family was the only one who planned with him. The villain really doesn't know."

In the face of death, everything is just a cloud, this person dare not hide it, and Zheng Bao is already dead, so there is no doubt about how to choose.

Hearing the man's answer, Chen Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, he frowned, and asked again: "Then Zheng Bao and Yan's family agreed on something, do you know?"

The man quickly replied: "It is to ask Zheng Bao to delay the residence of Wang Shi so that he can make troubles. The people of the Yan family also agreed with Zheng Bao that when the time comes to occupy Wu County, they will send troops to Danyang, and then give half of Danyang to Zheng Bao." precious."

Chen Ran nodded slightly. After listening to these words, he roughly understood that this matter might not be caused by all the aristocratic families in Wu County, but the Yan family.

I don't know if it's because of Chen Ran's sudden arrival, or because the Yan family has planned for a long time to annex the strength of the major families in Wu County. Anyway, the Yan family seems to be ready to do it now.

Chen Ran smiled and said something interesting. The Yan family reminded Chen Ran of Yan Baihu from the Three Kingdoms. If it was so appropriate, it can only be said that the Yan family had planned it for a long time.

Yan Baihu's occupation of Wu County is indeed a powerful one.But now, Chen Ran has regarded Yangzhou as his own territory, how can he let other people intervene?This is absolutely impossible.

Chen Ran's eyes focused, he knew that since the Yan family and Zheng Bao had made an appointment, now that Zheng Bao had already made a move, it was absolutely impossible for them to remain indifferent.

What they want to pursue is to let Zheng Bao delay Chen Ran so that they can do things just now.Now that Zheng Bao had finally delayed him for a few days, if he didn't do something, it would really be unreasonable.

However, there is some distance between Wu County and Jiujiang County, and it is not like modern times, where news can be easily notified. Even if the Yan family has already made a move at this moment, it will take a few days to get the news.

As for the Yan family, Chen Ran didn't completely regard it as a bad thing.Chen Ran remembered the appearance of the prefect of Wujun in his heart.

Although Chen Ran was not prepared to play revenge tricks, the reason why the prefect of Wu County dared to be so arrogant was because he relied on the power of his family?

It would be a good thing if the Yan family's chaos weakened and even wiped out the power of many aristocratic families in Wu County.

If there is a rebellion, it will definitely be wiped out, but the process of it is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Chen Ran thought about a lot of things, and everything has both good and bad sides, so it is impossible to make a final conclusion.

After figuring this out, Chen Ran didn't stay idle, but ordered Huang Zhong to be dispatched from Hefei, and gathered the army in the Chaohu area.

Chaohu Lake was originally close to the border of Danyang County, Jiujiang County, so it would be very convenient to send troops at that time.

Chen Ran looked at the Chaohu Lake, the lake was extremely wide, Chen Ran asked Huang Gai to clean up the water village, it was not just for nothing.

The geographical conditions of Chaohu Lake are excellent.If it is used as a naval training place, it really has a unique advantage.

Chen Ran is planning to set up a water village here in the future and train the water army.
