Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 898
"Although I already know that the Jingzhou navy is not very reliable..." Gan Ning looked at the letter in his hand, "Isn't it a bit too sad for the enemy to send someone to inform me to rescue them?"

"Does the authenticity of this letter need to be verified?" Cao Hong stepped forward and asked.

"No need..." Cao Ren next to him is also having a headache at the moment, "According to the last contact letter from the Jingzhou navy, it seems that the other party was really in the Dongting Lake area at that time...but what is it that got lost in Dongting Lake? what's the situation?"

"Speaking of which, it seems that the last two days have been cloudy?" Gan Ning remembered something, "Dongting Lake is usually covered with thick fog during this time, and if the fleet enters, it is easy to get lost if there is no way to identify the direction... ..."

Some people will say 'it's good to move in one direction'. In fact, if you really enter Dongting Lake, without a compass, who knows if you are going straight forward.So after driving for a certain distance, I deviate a little bit, maybe it will end up turning around in a certain place, and it is really not easy to get out when there is no reference around...

"So, how long will the Jingzhou navy be lost there?" Cao Hong asked curiously. After all, it had been a day or two since the incident happened and the other party delivered the letter.

"I don't think we can see the road there until the sun clears...Maybe we can reach the shore by chance, but the biggest problem is..." Gan Ning got up and came to a map, "The other party wants to come, but Zhou Yu is in Lukou. The Jingzhou navy will lose its way for a few days at least, and its morale will be low. Zhou Yu waits for work with ease..."

All destruction is possible... Cao Ren and Cao Hong couldn't help thinking.At that time, let alone come to support, it will not work if you don't go to rescue yourself.Without the Jingzhou navy, the four Jingnan counties and Jingbei, except for Nanyang County, are all within the attack range of Sun Quan's navy...

"No matter what? Anyway, Jingzhou's military administration is not completely under the imperial court..." Cao Hong thought for a while.If they went to rescue now, they would also have to avoid Lukou.

"You can cruise over there, and then try to join the Jingzhou navy, so that at least it will make the other party scruples..." Gan Ning thought for a while, it seems that this is the only way to go.The purpose of Zhou Yu's formation in Lukou is obvious, that is to unite with the navy troops and drag them there.

"But what is her purpose?" Cao Ren felt that Zhou Yu's move must have a deep meaning.

"What other purpose..." Gan Ning pointed to Wulin opposite Lukou. She hoped that we would set up an formation here, and this is also the final battlefield she chose for us!
If he went to other places, Zhou Yu would attack him tail-to-tail, and go down the river, with the fighting power of the Jiangdong Navy...Gan Ning had experienced it once before.Zhou Yu's navy army was no worse than her Jinfan army. At that time, they came from afar and fought with Sun Quan's troops. In the end, the opponent suddenly killed them, and they were really caught off guard.

But even she has to admit that Zhou Yu is indeed a formidable opponent in water warfare!
"Why is it in Wulin... Also, there is no suitable place around as a port... But why is the other party in Lukou?" Cao Hong couldn't figure it out.

"Because of the Jingzhou navy, there are [-] soldiers in addition to the navy, and more supplies will come in the future. For the Jingzhou army, seizing Lukou means that they can attack the four counties in Jiangdong by land and water. ..." Cao Ren probably knew what Zhou Yu was thinking.

In fact, strictly speaking, Jiangxia County still has four or five counties in the south of the Yangtze River, but due to Huang Zu's lack of strength, Zhou Yu has led the army to defeat them.It is also because of this that Zhou Yu built a large number of fortifications, and it is very difficult to land on the south bank!

"While Zhou Yu is there, why don't we just head south?" Cao Hong asked.Since Zhou Yu is already in Lukou, isn't Yuzhang County empty now?

"It's a pity, there's no way..." Cao Ren suddenly thought of something, then went back to his desk, searched, and found some information, "Look, a few days ago, Sun Quan's army strengthened the defense along the Yangtze River. , especially in Yuzhang County, I would also like to ask if it was to resist our attack, so it was to facilitate Zhou Yu's decisive battle with us..."

"So that's how it is. They insist on forcing us to fight at Lukou!" Cao Hong suddenly asked, "Are we afraid of them?"

"If we can join forces with the Jingzhou army, how much can Zhou Yu deal with when [-] to [-] troops cross the river together?" Gan Ning did not find it difficult.

"However, we also need to prevent Sun Quan's army from going north, so we need to leave 1 people guarding. In fact, 3 people are enough to attack, right?" Cao Ren thought for a while.

"Indeed, the ships on my side can only carry [-] soldiers... The supply troops may rely on Jingzhou for supplies depending on the situation... There seems to be a lot of food there..." Gan Ning suggested.

"Then go out!" Cao Ren immediately made a decision, "Zilian, it's okay for you to stay behind, right?"

"I think so too!" Cao Hong nodded. Lujiang County does need manpower to guard it. If necessary, you can contact Zang Ba's Department in Xuzhou, especially for assistance in defense.

On the same day, the army began to prepare. The large army quickly boarded the ship, took about three days of dry food, and then quickly set off.Five days later, the gloomy weather finally cleared up, and the fog in Dongting Lake finally dissipated. The Jingzhou navy, which had been 'lost' for several days, finally saw the dawn of hope.

"The fog cleared?" Seeing the rising sun, Cai Mao suddenly had the urge to cry.

"The fog has cleared!" Zhang Yun leaned against the fence decadently, these few days have been a nightmare.Morale has fallen to the bottom, and it feels like you can't get around Dongting Lake after wandering around in such a daze. It's really scary!
Fog everywhere, couldn't see further at all, everywhere seemed to be the same, whether left, right, or even 'straight' for days, no change.

They even wondered if they had stumbled into the hell of Buddhist propaganda by mistake.

"Where are we going now? Are we still moving forward?" Zhang Yun asked casually.

"Must, go join the Gan Ning Department!" Cai Mao said, they have been waiting for us for too long!

"Then let's go!" Zhang Yun slowly got up, "By the way, do you want to find a place to rest on the shore for a day?"

"... Agree!" Cai Mao hesitated for a while, but finally agreed decisively.After wandering for several days, I suddenly wanted to feel the down-to-earth feeling.

At the same time, on the Lukou side, Zhou Yu's headquarters also arrived here one after another. It was after the Ganning Division had already started to move, and then they came here one after another.

"It's just the governor, why do we have to set up camp here?" Jiang Qin was still puzzled.

Zhou Yu was looking at Wu Lin at the moment, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Because there are monsters as our allies over there!"
