We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

For Liu Bei, he can be said to be both a success and a failure. Without Xi Yu, Liu Bei would not have been able to escape from Xuchang. Therefore, Liu Bei also has some gratitude in his heart for Xi Yu.

But now, the foundation he created has been destroyed because of Xi Yu. For this reason, his brother is missing and his life and death are unknown. Liu Bei is still full of hatred for Xi Yu.

All of this seems to be a closed loop of fate. What I owed Xiyu back then will finally be paid back to him in double amount.

At this time, dawn had slowly begun to break in the eastern sky, and because of the armies of both sides, the light above the river was illuminated by torches as if it were daytime.

Just when everyone thought that everything should develop slowly like this, suddenly a heavy fog rose above the originally sunny river surface, and gradually the fog became thicker and thicker.

Looking at the thick fog gradually rising above the river, Zhou Yu also frowned tightly.

Logically speaking, there would not be such a thick fog rising on the Yangtze River in this season, and it happened to be that heavy fog rose at this time.

All of this is indeed a bit too strange, as if God somehow hopes to end this troubled world later, or it may be that this big man really does not deserve to die, and the last flame of his life does not burn. When it is all gone, God will not let this dynasty, which has been inherited for more than four hundred years, become extinct.

"Is it possible that this big-eared thief really doesn't deserve to die, and does he really have God's help?"

Looking at the rising fog in front of him, Zhou Yu frowned tightly and kept muttering,

After talking to himself for a moment, Zhou Yu threw his thoughts behind him. After all, in his opinion,

If there really is destiny in this world, destiny will be on the side of the actor and not on the side of the big-eared thief.

Subsequently, Zhou Yu ordered his fleet to step up the attack, and at the same time ordered people to blockade the entire river to prevent the big-eared thieves from escaping in the chaos.

After all, the most important thing now is to capture Liu Bei alive.

Under Zhou Yu's command, the number of Mi Zhu's warships was also constantly decreasing, and the entire river was blocked by Zhou Yu like an iron barrel. It was simply impossible to take advantage of the opportunity to send people out.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Mi Zhu and Sun Qian also saw Zhou Yu's thoughts, and knew that it was simply impossible to send Liu Bei out now.

However, if we risk our lives and receive God's help, we might be able to create a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu also looked at each other. Both of them knew what the other was thinking at the moment, and nodded to each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes.

Immediately, Sun Qian covered most of the ships with kerosene, and then led the warships covered with kerosene to rush towards Zhou Yu's fleet without hesitation, as if he wanted to use this method to attack Zhou Yu's fleet. This suicidal attack opened a life channel for Liu Bei to escape.

While Sun Qian led a large group of buildings and ships to fight for their lives, a small group of people quickly left in the other direction.

At this moment, the fleet of flat ships led by Sun Qian was completely covered by fire. It rushed straight towards the fleet led by Zhou Yu. While attacking the fleet led by Zhou Yu, the tower ships also sent out a series of fire at the same time. cry.

"Escort the lord and go first! Escort the lord and go first!"

Looking at Liu Bei's fleet that was burning with fire and constantly charging towards him, Zhou Yu frowned tightly. He knew that the other party was preparing to fight with his life. He would probably suffer a lot if he tried his best to block such a madman. It would be better to let them burn out if they suffer a small loss.

Just as Zhou Yu was staring closely at the raging fire in front of him, a messenger came to Zhou Yu.

"Report to the Governor, we found a small fleet fleeing towards the east of the river, and Liu Bei is suspected to be among them."

After hearing the report of the messenger, Zhou Yu's first reaction was naturally disbelief. After all, the east was the territory of the dramatist. Even if Liu Bei was stupid, he would not throw himself into a trap.

But after thinking for a moment, I felt that this matter was not impossible. After all, almost the entire river had been blocked by him, and Liu Bei could only flee to the west at this moment.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu decided to send a small group of soldiers to the east to catch up.

At this time, the river was already filled with flames, roars and the sounds of clashing weapons were mixed together. Countless people continued to die in the battle, and in a place that no one noticed,

Under the cover of thick fog and fire, a small boat slowly broke away from the team led by Sun Qian, crossed the Yangtze River little by little, and headed towards the west.

Although there are also actors' troops guarding the river in the west at this moment, there is thick fog all over the river at this moment. No matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see clearly what is happening on the river.

Besides, no one would pay attention to a small boat at this moment.

At this moment, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan were driving the boat little by little along the river bank, escaping in the west direction. Because there was no wind and the boat was going upstream, it could be said that the speed of the boat was not very fast.

But when the east was just turning white, the originally calm sky was suddenly filled with an extremely fierce east wind. With the help of the east wind, the boat of Liu Bei and others quickly left this place.

The thick fog on the river surface lasted until noon and then slowly dissipated. When the sun was shining brightly in the sky, the surface of the river slowly became clearer.

The battle above the river was slowly ending at this moment. Zhou Yu also dispatched his soldiers to clean the battlefield. At the same time, he must capture the remaining enemy soldiers alive and search all places, even if they had been burned. The gray warships must also be carefully inspected to prevent Liu Bei from hiding in them.

While Zhou Yu's soldiers were inspecting the battlefield, the fleet that Zhou Yu and others sent to the east to chase also successfully defeated Liu Bei's fleet and returned victoriously.

As soon as they returned to the ship, Zhou Yu's generals reported to Zhou Yu:

"Report to the Grand Governor that the big-eared thief who fled eastward is a fake."

As he spoke, the general ordered his soldiers to bring the imposter Liu Bei up.

Looking at the fake Liu Bei in front of him, even Zhou Yu couldn't help but be startled. Zhou Yu was really surprised, how could there be two such imaginary people in this world.

The figure and appearance of the person in front of him are very similar to Liu Bei. In addition, he is wearing Liu Bei's clothes. If you don't look carefully at ordinary times, it is easy to identify him as Liu Bei, let alone what he looked like yesterday. Fog period.

But when people look at it themselves, they can still find that although this person's appearance is 70% similar to Liu Bei's, his temperament is completely different from Liu Bei's.

"Who are you? Do you know where Liu Bei is now?"

Especially when Zhou Yu asked him about Liu Bei's whereabouts, the fake Liu Bei knelt down with a look of fear on his face, trembling all over and begging for mercy.

"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me! I'm just a pawn. I don't know anything. They forced me to do it!"

Looking at the fake Liu Bei who was kneeling at his feet and begging for mercy, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and knew that no questions could be asked about this man. He waved his hand and asked his soldiers to take him away.

Although in this battle, Liu Bei's troops, who were burned to death by fire yesterday, and Zhou Yu's troops also captured nearly 2,000 prisoners, the losses on Zhou Yu's side were also very small.

Normally, this battle can be said to be a complete victory.

But Zhou Yu knew that the most important thing in this battle was to capture Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei was not successfully captured, their battle would not be considered a success.

Especially since this was his first battle after entering the theater camp and becoming the Grand Governor,

In this first battle, he failed to achieve the set strategic goal, not to mention that he still had a complete advantage in this battle, but he was able to let Liu Bei escape just like this.

Although the reason for not completing the set goal this time was due to the heavy fog, it was ultimately disgraceful.

Sighing softly, Zhou Yu stopped worrying. After all, what's the use of worrying so much? It's better to go back to the camp, train hard and wait for another meritorious service next time.

After reorganizing the navy, Zhou Yu led a small group of light cavalry and headed towards Xiangyang City with a few more important prisoners.

At this time, Xiangyang City slowly returned to order with Huang Xu's entry.

Zhang Liao Dianwei also led the army from Xinye and entered Xiangyang City.

When Zhang, Liao, Dian and Wei were stationed in Xinye, they were waiting for Xiangyang's request for help. However, after waiting for a long time, they did not receive a request for help from Xiangyang.

Finally unable to bear it anymore, the two men led the army and rushed to Xiangyang, only to find that the battle of Xiangyang was already over.

Looking at Xiangyang City gradually returning to order, their eyes were full of deep helplessness.

It can be said that the two of them led an army of 100,000 people on a free sightseeing tour this time.

Looking at Xiangyang City Dianwei's eyes were filled with deep feelings of loss.

"Oh, I thought there would be a big battle today, but I never thought that Liu Bei would be so vulnerable. Just the army of the wealthy family defeated him directly."

Dian Wei himself is a war-loving person, and he was very bored after staying in Xiapi City for a long time. This time, after his hard work, he finally got such a rare opportunity, but what he never expected was.

In this battle, although he came to the scene, he was of no use at all. He even won the victory without even seeing clearly what the enemy looked like.

"Isn't this the plan that Uncle Fengxiao and Governor Zhou thought up? It can be said that this time our army won the entire Jingzhou without paying any price, especially Uncle Fengxiao's plan. It is really poisonous, simply He is even more vicious than old Jia Xu."

Listening to Huang Xu's complaints, everyone present burst out laughing.

In fact, after entering Jingzhou, Huang Xu chatted with the heads of several wealthy families in Jingzhou about the current situation.

First of all, the four southern counties of Jingzhou were originally the base for Liu Bei's final counterattack, and the people he sent were extremely loyal to Liu Bei. However, he never expected that the wealthy families in the four southern counties of Jingzhou would stab Liu Bei behind his back. The men arranged by Liu Bei either surrendered or were killed.

Secondly, there are the wealthy families in Beisan County. In this war against Liu Bei, the wealthy families in Beisan County can be said to have contributed both money and effort. Although they succeeded in driving Liu Bei away, the war caused huge damage.

As a result, the wealthy families in Beisan County have suffered a huge blow both in terms of economic strength and military strength.

The most important thing is that because the war has weakened the strength of the aristocratic families, it also makes them have less weight in their hands after defecting to the opera camp, and they are unable to negotiate bigger terms with Xi Yu. This also makes these aristocratic families only Able to actively integrate into the drama camp.

Although it seems like a lot of effort was spent on the incident, if the post-war governance is combined, it will all be worth it.

It can be said that in this war, the actor gained the greatest benefit without paying anything.

Looking at Huang Xu in front of him, Dian Wei patted his shoulder with relief.

"You're a good boy. You seem to have made some progress these days. I heard that you captured Guan Yu."

Hearing Dian Wei's praise, Huang Xu was not modest at all. Instead, he said very proudly:

"That's natural. With the help of my foster father's tiger-headed gilded spear, I will easily take him down even if he has ten more Guan Yus!"

Seeing Huang Xu's arrogance, everyone laughed and no one stopped him. After all, he was still a child, so what if he was a little more arrogant?

Just when everyone was laughing, a voice came from outside the door.

"What makes you generals laugh so happily?"

Hearing this voice, he turned around and saw Guo Jia walking into the house.

"Nothing is wrong, we just won the battle and everyone is happy."

Seeing Guo Jia, Huang Xu also put away his smile. After saying something casually, he told Guo Jia the specific situation in Xiangyang now in detail.

After all, Huang Xu is still a little afraid of Guo Jiacong. After all, a person who can come up with such a vicious plan, who knows what he will do later.

And when Guo Jia heard that Huang Xu had captured Liu Bei alive, his eyes were full of deep appreciation.

"Okay, okay, you are really brave and invincible."

Hearing Guo Jia's praise, Huang Xu, who was already very proud, became even more arrogant at this moment, and the joystick couldn't help but straighten up.

After Huang Xu finished speaking, Guo Jia asked:

"Have you caught the big-eared thief now?"

After all, capturing Liu Bei alive is a very important goal among the strategic goals this time.

"According to Kuai Liang and others, under the cover of Guan Yu, Liu Bei fled along the Han River towards Jiangling. But don't worry, there is a Governor of Zhou guarding the Jiangling side. Even though Liu Bei has extraordinary abilities , and there’s no way to escape.”

Although Liu Bei was not captured alive, Huang Xu's expression was very relaxed.

After all, a little Liu Bei would definitely not be able to escape under Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of troops, and everyone present thought so.

But when Zhou Yu entered the hall, the first words he said shocked everyone present.

"The big-eared thief escaped and is now missing."

After hearing what Zhou Yu said, everyone present had expressions of disbelief on their faces, mainly because no one could believe this kind of thing.

So under everyone's doubtful eyes, Zhou Yu sighed softly and told everyone present what happened yesterday.

After hearing that there was a heavy fog above the river for no reason, everyone present showed expressions of extreme surprise. This kind of thing was really too magical.

"Could it be that this big-eared thief really deserves to die?"

Dian Wei shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh. In fact, Dian Wei didn't believe this kind of thing at first.

But after seeing that Zhou Yu's expression didn't look like he was lying, Dian Wei still believed it.

"It doesn't matter. Since Liu Bei really deserves to die, let him go."

After sighing softly, Guo Jia also comforted Zhou Yu.

"Now that the situation in Jingzhou has been decided, even if the big-eared thief escapes from the encirclement, he will not be able to bring two people with him, and now he does not have any territory. Even if he wants to cause some trouble, it will be impossible. .”

"So just leave as long as the big-eared thief is gone. There will always be a chance to capture him in the future. Now, this specific matter should be reported to the lord and the lord will make the decision."

Nodding slightly, everyone felt that what Guo Jia said made sense.

After another discussion, everyone decided who would host tonight's celebration banquet, and also decided to invite all the powerful patriarchs to this celebration banquet.

After some discussion, everyone slowly dispersed, but Zhou Yu gently held the corner of Guo Jia's clothes.

"Fengxiao, although Jingzhou is now settled, Liu Qi is still"

After gently stopping Zhou Yu, Guo Jia looked around.

He naturally knew what Zhou Yu meant. After all, Liu Qi, who was lying on the bed with hemiplegia, was still the Jingzhou Mu of the Han Dynasty.

With such a bright hat on Liu Qi's head, Zhou Yu and others would not be able to do anything to him. If Liu Qi's issue is not dealt with cleanly, it will definitely be a disaster in the future.

What makes Guo Jia and Guo Jia most irritated is that Liu Bei can leave as soon as he says, and you can leave only after you have settled the matter.

But it happened that Liu Bei hadn't settled the matter before he left, leaving such a hemiplegic but unable to deal with a scourge here.

This makes Guo Jia and others hold such a powder keg that may explode at any time, and it is not necessary to throw it away.

"Let's go take a look first and then talk." (End of Chapter)
