The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 240 Passing through Jiujiang
At a glance, the blue sea, the blue sky, and the boundless sea make people feel a sense of openness in their hearts.

Even those people who were hijacked couldn't help feeling a little certain at this moment, no matter what, they were still alive after all.

"My lord, looking at the current situation, Jingzhou will not come after me, but when I get to Jizhou, my lord's reputation may be hindered."

Gan Ning came to report at this time, but Wei Tao just smiled at this. Compared with the harvest this time, fighting against Liu Biao and Huang Zu is nothing at all.

With the foundation of this navy and a good general like Gan Ning, it is hard to say anything else, but it is still possible to build a strong navy.

As for whether this navy can be turned into a navy, it depends on Wei Tao's efforts, at least judging from the current situation, even if it is only near the sea, the current strength of the navy is still reluctant.

After all, these ships are not dedicated to sailing. Although the ships are quite large, they are not enough. If Wei Tao hadn't remembered the chain method used by Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi in history, and connected the boats horizontally, I am afraid that the sailing speed would have been even faster. Slow down, after all, the wind and waves here are not comparable to mere rivers.

"Xingba, how long will it take to get to Bohai County by such a boat?"

At this time, Wei Tao asked slowly.

"My lord, the sailing on the sea is uncertain. If it goes smoothly like this, it will only take seven or eight days. If there is any accident, it may take half a month or so."

Gan Ning made a calculation for a while before answering, the answer was not what Wei Tao expected.

I don't know if it was because Zhou Yu had predicted the weather, or because of Wei Tao's good luck, the boat sailed smoothly for two days and arrived in Jiujiang County.

"Kill...kill..."

Not long after entering Jiujiang County, I heard shouts of killing coming from a distance. Looking carefully, there were countless soldiers rushing to kill on the land, and there were dozens of warships on the water, all of which were attacking Jiujiang City.

"This is... Sun Ce?"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, besides Sun Ce, who else could attack Jiujiang City at this time?

"Looking at this posture, I'm afraid Jiujiang won't be able to resist for long. Once Jiujiang is underway, the entire Jiangdong may fall into the hands of Sun Ce."

Wei Tao also lamented that there are countless talents in the world. It is said that Sun Ce is only a few years older than himself, but he has no experience of being a human being in two lifetimes. Even now, Sun Ce no longer has Zhou Yu's assistance.

But Wei Tao learned from Sun Ce that now Sun Ce is much more ambitious than in history. While conquering Jiangdong, he also fought against Jingzhou from time to time, and even gained the upper hand from time to time.

Although in this way, the speed of its conquest of Jiangdong was much slower, but the resistance of many Jiangdong clans was not as fierce as in history.

It is said that this was all done by Lu Su, a counselor under Sun Ce's account. It is to let all the aristocratic families obey their orders, and the resistance to Sun Ce is not so strong.

Moreover, it is said that although Sun Ce has a violent temper, he does not know why he obeys Lu Su's words. It is indeed a lie to lay down this foundation.

"My lord..."

Gan Ning spoke with some difficulty, not to mention that he also understood Wei Tao, because Gan Ning did not want to fight Sun Ce.

It's not that Gan Ning is afraid, it's that Gan Ning knows that if there is a war at this time, his side will almost be defeated. After all, apart from the eight hundred brothers, Gan Ning dare not entrust his life and death to others, let alone Wei Tao is on the boat now, Gan Ning was even more unwilling to start a war with Sun Ce.

"I know what Xingba means, so don't worry about Xingba, just give me an order to avoid Sun Cejun!"

Wei Tao patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said straightly.

If this order was proposed or issued by Gan Ning, it will be difficult for Gan Ning to gain a foothold in the future, but there is no such trouble if Wei Tao speaks.

"promise!"

Gan Ning didn't thank him much, but just watching him retreat respectfully, he knew that he was extremely grateful for Wei Tao's love and care.

Wei Tao ordered to avoid Sun Ce, but at this time, the other party's ship seemed to have discovered that Wei Tao and the others took the initiative to lean over.

"Not good! My lord, this is Sun Ce who wants to start a war with us! They are encircling us. If we are not careful, we may be surrounded by them."

Gan Ning is indeed worthy of being a veteran in water warfare, and he immediately reacted when he saw the opponent's posture.

"My lord, I suggest that our army immediately issue a warning to the other party. If they don't listen, we will launch an offensive immediately. Once we let them encircle, it may be difficult for all our ships to escape."

Gan Ning spoke quickly and urgently, obviously the situation has become very critical.

"My lord, these are all Jingzhou Jiangxiashui warships. Although they have gone to the flag, with Sun Cejun's ability, they must be able to understand the ship when they see it, so they surrounded it."

Zhou Yu analyzed it calmly.

"Even if we reveal our identities at this time, the other party will not let us go. Since Sun Ce also wants to build a powerful naval force, he will not allow others to get involved in Jianghe. In the end, a battle will inevitably happen."

"Xingba, are you sure of victory?"

Wei Tao nodded, he understood what Zhou Yu said, so he asked Gan Ning directly.

"Yes, my lord. Although our army is short-handed, I have already anticipated this and specially gathered my brothers here. If the two armies collide, it is naturally impossible to compare, but if only the elite small troops Fighting each other, we are sure that we will not fall behind."

Gan Ning's tone was very confident, this time was critical, but it was also the time for Gan Ning to show his skills.

"The other side doesn't know the strength of our army. We attack them with elite troops, and we can break them in one fell swoop and startle them. Now that Sun Ce's army is attacking Jiujiang, if they see us coming, they must be suspicious of Jingzhou. Under the situation of being attacked from the front and back, we must retreat, and we will just get out at that time!"

"Okay! If that's the case, I'll entrust Xingba to this battle!"

Seeing Gan Ning's self-confidence, Wei Tao immediately nodded and pointed at Tai Shici.

"It is also known that Ziyi's martial arts prospers the hegemony. In addition, Wen Ze, Wen Yu and others are also dispatched by Xingba. The soldiers who came with me are all from the north. They don't know water skills, so they can't be of great use here. So I can't possibly help you more."

"My lord, please don't worry, Ning Dingran will let the other party not dare to harass the lord again!"

Gan Ning knew the abilities of Tai Shici and the three of them. To put it bluntly, each of the three of them was worth 100 people when it came to fighting boats.

As for Tai Shici and others who are all highly skilled and bold, I also have no opinion.

Immediately, dozens of small boats roared out, pressing towards each other.

You must know that at this time, Sun Cejun's navy has not yet developed to dominate Jiangdong. Although there are still many ships, they are much smaller than the ships that Wei Tao directly captured from Jiangxia.

If it is true that the boat is facing each other, then Sun Ce's side will suffer first.

So after seeing Gan Ning and others attacking with boats, the opponent's boats also stopped, and then several boats rushed out, looking like they were about to confront Gan Ning.

"Hehe... It seems that the people on the other side's ship also regard us as the Jingzhou army. I don't know that Sun Ce is on the ship. Since this person is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, he probably has some skills under his command. I don't know if I have a chance to try it with him. Try it out."

Seeing this situation, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile.

Wei Tao said that he doesn't understand water warfare, and it's not that he doesn't understand at all, but he is not as familiar with generals like Gan Ning after all.

But when he saw the opponent's intention, Wei Tao understood that he had the upper hand this time.

On such a small boat, it is impossible for each one to carry too many people, so at this time, personal force is becoming more and more important.

Wei Tao has Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci, both of whom are top-notch generals with strong strength. Although Yu Jin and Pan Zhang are weaker, under Wei Tao's command, there are many powerful generals who can be consulted. Not at the level of a top military general, but a first-class top military general.

With such four people attacking together, is there anyone on Sun Ce's side who can handle it?
There were people, to Wei Tao's surprise, there were indeed people, and there were two of them.

A stout man and a relatively thin man stopped Gan Ning and Yu Jin.

You must know that water combat is not that simple, there are not many places to move and dodge, and more importantly, as the force is exerted, the ship will shake, disrupting the rhythm of one's moves.

This is especially true for such a small boat. As long as the foot exerts a little force, the whole boat will be bumpy. People who are not used to it can't even stand firmly, let alone confront people.

It was precisely because Wei Tao was not fully sure that he was watching the battle from behind this time.

"Who are these two? To have such abilities, and to have such a brave general under Sun Ce's command, it seems that Jiangdong Little Overlord really deserves his reputation!"

Wei Tao's eyesight was extremely high, and it was easy to see that these two people were not only on the water, but also on land, and they were also rare and brave generals.

Of course, the reason why Wei Tao is so relaxed at this time is also because the situation is in favor of Wei Tao at this time. Gan Ning and Yu Jin being entangled by the opponent is actually tantamount to entanglement.

But Wei Tao still has Tai Shici and Pan Zhang on Wei Tao's side. These two people are like tigers in a herd of sheep. In an instant, a group of boats and boats rushed to kill, and many soldiers of Sun Ce's army were killed. Kill directly into the water.

Such a fall into the water, except for those with very good luck, either died or were captured, so Wei Tao did not worry about not knowing the identity of the other party.

"My lord, these two are generals who have joined Sun Ce recently. The burly man is named Zhou Tai, and the other is Jiang Qin. It is said that these two were also water thieves, and for some reason they joined Sun Ce not long ago. And it was also reused by Sun Ce as the general of the navy. It is said that Sun Ce's new navy is headed by these two."

Zhou Yu soon got the information he wanted from several captured soldiers.
