Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 696 The Battle to Destroy Wu ([-])
"promise!"

Hear Liu Qi's words.

Guo Jia and the others agreed.

There was indeed a trace of unwillingness in their hearts, but they also knew that this was not the time to pursue, nor was it suitable.

Not to mention whether they can catch up.

Even if they catch up, it would be very disadvantageous to fight Wu Jun on the river, after all, Wu Jun's soldiers and horses are best at fighting on water.

If it is a gentle river, then there will not be too many shortages in fighting on the river.

But no.

What's more, it was obvious that Wu Jun was well prepared, so he set off directly and evacuated Sanjiangkou early this morning when the rain began to weaken and the river was not so turbulent.

However, they cannot leave directly.

All the supplies, food and grass are still in the camp. Originally, they planned to forcibly attack Wu Jun's water village, but they didn't expect Wu Jun to make such a decision and evacuate Sanjiangkou directly.

This is what they consider missing.

"Let's go back to the camp. The Wu army has already evacuated, so it doesn't make any sense whether to seize Sanjiangkou or not. Our goal is only the Wu army!" Liu Qi said.

Done.

He turned around and walked down the boat.

Regarding this, Guo Jia and the others had no other objections. After all, this was also a fact. Now that the Wu army had withdrawn, they had no intention of attacking and desperately fighting.

Know Wu Jun's intention.

Staying here, I have no intention of chasing after him, and it has no effect.

They all turned around and followed Liu Qi away.

Liu Qi brought everyone back to the camp, and asked them to change into clean clothes before coming to the main tent to discuss matters.

When I went out to inspect Wu Jun's behavior just now, everyone's clothes were already soaked, and it was impossible to continue discussing things like this.

At the same time, the vigilance in the camp was lifted.Let the soldiers continue to rest.

Of course, there are still soldiers on the deck, monitoring the retreating Wu Jun, in case Wu Jun suddenly turns around and comes back, and the reaction is too late.

Even if Wu Jun made the appearance of evacuating, there is no guarantee that Wu Jun will not turn around and come back. It is better to be prepared than not.

At least if Wu Jun had that idea, he would have enough time to react.

And if Wu Jun didn't have that idea, and he didn't have any losses, there wouldn't be any problems.

……

soon.

Guo Jia and the others had already changed their clothes and returned to the main tent.

However, Liu Qi also changed his clothes, sat on the main seat, and waited for everyone.

Now that the Wu army is withdrawing, they need to make changes to their previous plan of storming, and also consider where the Wu army will retreat to resist their army.

These are all things that need to be negotiated.

"Everyone, what do you think about the Wu army's retreat now?" Liu Qi glanced at the crowd and asked.

I see.

When everyone heard Liu Qi's words, they all shook their heads and did not speak.

Zhou Yu had already led the army to retreat, but was unable to pursue them. They didn't have any opinions, let alone any solutions.

Even if you want to intercept, you need to have a chance.

performance for the crowd.

Liu Qi didn't feel any surprise. After all, Wu Jun's actions were too sudden, and they didn't even have time to react, so how could they have any thoughts.

It will take time to consider the solution. By then, Wu Jun doesn't know how far he has left.

You must know that the river flows very fast today, and Wu Jun took a boat down the river, and the speed was even faster.

"Where do you think Wu Jun will retreat to, thereby blocking the pace of our army?" Liu Qi continued to ask.

heard.

Guo Jia and the others glanced at each other, and they all fell into deep thought.

Although the Wu army withdrew, they still would not give up on blocking the pace of their army, so where to withdraw is what they need to consider now.

same.

It is still necessary to defeat the army led by Zhou Yu before continuing to march towards Jianye. This is something that cannot be changed.

Regardless of whether the Wu army stays here or withdraws, as long as this Wu army is not defeated, then the threat to them from this Wu army still exists.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Zhou Yu may lead his army to retreat to the water stronghold on the Lujiang River. If you go down the river, you will only have the Lujiang River to defend, and passing through the Lujiang River will directly reach the land of Jianye!"

Mi Zhu stood up and continued: "It can be said that the Lujiang River is the last barrier from Jiangxia to Jianye, and Zhou Yu will not lead the evacuation to Jianye directly. In this way, the only choice is the Lujiang River!"

Before that, he and Mi Fang led soldiers and horses to escort grain and grass to Jingzhou. When Liu Qi led the army to Jingzhou, they also transported grain and grass to the army and set off with the army.

"I think what Master Mi said is true!" Guo Jia also stood up and said, "Zhou Yu will definitely lead the army to stop our army in Lujiang!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

The rest of the people also agreed with Mi Zhu's statement.

And going all the way from here, there is indeed only the land of Lujiang, which can have a place to garrison, and if Zhou Yu wanted to lead an army to intercept them, he had to choose Lujiang.

What's more, if you go down the river, you can directly reach the water village in the Lujiang River, and you are ready.

Hear the words of the people.

Liu Qi also nodded.

What he could think of before was the land of the Lujiang River, and Zhou Yu wanted to withdraw, and only the water village in the land of the Lujiang River was the most suitable choice.

As for withdrawing to Jianye, Zhou Yu might not have that kind of thought.

If so.

It was just for him to find an opportunity to directly lead the army to directly capture Jianye and surround Jianye city.

Only when Zhou Yu withdrew to Lujiang would he have some scruples.

I dare not take Jianye directly.

But this is only temporary. This time, it will not be like the situation here in Sanjiangkou, and there will be no more hesitation.

If you want to win the Wu Kingdom, you still need to sacrifice!

thought here.

Liu Qi then said: "So, when the time is up, we will take a boat down the river and go straight to the Lujiang River, and then take a rest on the Lujiang River, and the river should calm down by then!"

Having said that, he stopped.

In a pair of tiger eyes, there was a flash of light, scanning the crowd, and continued: "I will directly attack the Lujiang Water Village with all my strength, and the winner will be determined in the first battle, and no accidents will be allowed again!"

He didn't want to delay any longer. If he continued to delay, there was no guarantee that there would be no changes.

So let's make it quick.

"promise!"

Guo Jia and the others agreed without any objection.

They also knew that continuing the stalemate would only be very detrimental to them.

What's more, if they attack by force, their chances of winning are not small.

After Liu Qi made a decision.

Arrive within a stick of incense time.

Liu Qi led the prepared army, boarded the boat, and went down the river towards the Lujiang River.
