December 21, 7th year of Jian'an

Chaisang, County Magistrate's Office

"... I've been trapped in Jiangnan for so many days, and I don't know what happened to the eldest son and Kuai Duke and others?" Wen Pin, the prefect of Dai Yuzhang, walked around the hall, with an expression of irritability on his face, and said with a grudge, "We can only be anxious here, but we can't help at all! It's a pity that Huang Zu, whom Master Zhou Mu regards him as his brother and handes him the navy. But this bastard follows the rebel Cai Mao to rebel!"

Jiujiang (Note: At this time, Jiujiang had undergone great changes from the jurisdiction of Jiujiang County, one of the six counties in Yangzhou). The prefect Lai Min looked solemn and sighed, "It is reported that Zhangling County has also been abdicated! In this way, there are no soldiers in Jiangbei to rescue the eldest prince and Kuai Du. The situation is worrying!" Lai Min is a Xinye person in Yiyang, and comes from a family of officials.

My father Lai Yan was the Sikong of the previous dynasty and had a close relationship with Liu Biao.

"Guo Kuai only owns Yinan County, and Nan County has few soldiers and horses. How can he resist the rebel Cai Mao?" Pinglu College Captain Wang Wei said worriedly.

After receiving the news that Cai Mao raised his troops, Lai Min immediately contacted Liu Hua, the prefect of Yuzhang, and Xiang Lang, the prefect of Luling, and made an appointment to raise an army north to help Liu Qi, Kuai Liang and others quell the Cai Mao rebellion.

Liu Hua, the prefect of Yuzhang, belonged to Cai Mao, so he naturally did not want to respond to Lai Min's proposal. Instead, he secretly contacted Cai Mao and planned to plot against the two counties of Jiujiang and Luling.

Wen Pin, who was leading the army to guard Yu Zhang, noticed Liu Hua's actions, and killed him in anger. Since taking over as the prefect of Yu Zhang, he immediately led the army northward to join Lai Min, Wang Wei and others, and then sent troops to Jiangbei.

Unfortunately, the vast and surging river has become an insurmountable gap. Huang Zu's son Huang Xi led a general of the Jingzhou Navy to patrol the river surface of the Chaisang area, and eliminated the idea of ​​Wen Pin and others crossing the river.

"Hi~~!" Wen Pin breathed anger and waved his right hand hard, "General Liu Lang can't cross the river! Can you only watch the eldest son and Kuai Duke trapped in Nanjun?"

After a pause, Wen Pin said resolutely: "Don't worry. Even if Huang She's thief stops me, I will cross the river to rescue Kuai!"

"Zhongye, don't be anxious, you can make a long-term plan..." Seeing that the young Wenpin wanted to act on a momentary impulse, he came to persuade him urgently.

"Report~!" At this moment, a Sima, a Jingzhou army soldier hurried into the hall and reported the report loudly with an anxious look.

"What's the matter?" Wen Pin turned around suddenly and asked in disarray.

"Your Majesty the Prefect... Huang Sheshui Shui Army was defeated!" The army Sima replied panting.

"Was Huang She defeated that little thief? Who did it?" Everyone in the hall was excited. Wen Pin even grabbed the lichen of the army Sima and asked anxiously.

"Yes... it's the Jinfan Navy!" The army's Sima calmed down and replied quickly, "The Jinfan Navy attacked the east and west sides of the Penglikou, and defeated the Huangshe Navy."

"Gan Ning?!!!" After hearing the report of the army Sima, Wen Pin was amused and thought for a moment, he felt a little worried again. "Why did Gan Ning suddenly intervene in the affairs of Jingzhou... Could it be that Liu Bei intends to rob the fire?"

"Sir, this is not the case..." The army Sima interrupted Wen Pin's words and continued to report, "Gan Ning just sent someone to inform our army----Dao Jinfan Navy was ordered to go to Jiangling for rescue at the invitation of the eldest son and the governor Kuai!"

"If it's what Kuo Kuai means, that's great!" Wen Pin breathed a sigh of relief and regained his joy and said, "Now the little thief Huang She has been defeated and he is now able to cross the river to the north!"

"Don't be anxious about the prefect Wen. It's better to judge the intentions of the eldest son and Kuai Tuan before acting!" Jiujiang County Princess Jiang Wan advised, "The rebels in Jiangbei are powerful and the enemy is unclear. It is probably not a good idea to cross the river rashly."

"At first, I was unable to cross the river, so I could only sit and wait and see; now the little thief Huang She has gone, and if I don't cross the river to rescue the eldest son and the others, how can I see the elders of Jingxiang in the future?" Wen Pin glared at Jiang Wan and said unhesitantly.

"Prefect Wen, please listen to what the emperor said!" Jiang Wan explained earnestly.

"After the Jinfan Navy advances westward, as long as it can expel Huang Zu, the eldest son and the others can cross the river and go south. By then, with the four counties of Jingnan, Jiujiang, Yuzhang and Luling, why worry about not being able to eliminate the rebellion? If the eldest son has already gone south and the prefect Wen leads the army northward, wouldn't it be useless and ineffective? It may even be enslaved by the rebels.

Prefect Wen is my general of Jingzhou. In the future, he will quell the rebellion and reorganize the atmosphere of Jingzhou. It is certain that the prefect Wen cannot be missing. The prefect is in danger. Isn’t that the reason?"

"What Gongyan said is very much, Zhongye should be careful not to be impatient!" Lai Min nodded and said. "The most urgent task now is to stabilize the situation in Jiujiang and Yuzhang, and at the same time purify the troops, horses, food and grass, and prepare to support the eldest son to quell the rebellion at any time!"

"The turtle grandsons of Jiangxia actually followed Cai Mao to rebel! In my opinion, they should join forces with General Liu Lang to capture Jiangxia first!" Wang Wei said with hatred.

"kindness……"

Outside the mouth of Wuchang, Yangtze River

The main fleet of Jinfan Navy sailed on the river, with hundreds of warships of all sizes spreading across the river, with a huge momentum. The battle flags waving in the wind on the bow of each warship were almost like clouds covering the sky.

Because it was a ship heading against the wind, the sails on the warship had fallen and marched only by the soldiers' oars. But despite this, the fleet was still astonishingly fast.

On the first big battleship with Jinfan Navy flag flying, Jiang Qin stood at the bow of the ship and looked ahead.

"Treading the waves, you have been standing for a while, so don't go into the cabin to rest?" Gan Ning walked slowly to Jiang Qin and said with a smile, "There is still a distance from Jiangling!"

"No need!" Jiang Qin shook his head and replied, "The cabin is too boring, it's just right here!"

"..." Gan Ning smiled and said after a different topic, "Wang She should bring the funeral to him. I wonder what kind of sad face that old boy Huang Zu would have?"

Jiang Qin's expression was slowing down on his face, and he replied with a smile: "Bullying Huang She's not capable of any ability. It's only if he's so meaningful if he's taken over by Gan Ning!" Although the losses suffered by Gan Ning were far greater than those suffered by Huang Zu's land, and it can even be said that the entire Jiangdong naval army was destroyed in Gan Ning's hands, Jiang Qin can't hate Gan Ning now.

From being captured to being surrendered in the end, Gan Ning was extremely polite to Jiang Qin. Especially after Jiang Qin became the deputy commander of the Jinfan Naval Army, Gan Ning almost never concealed everything in detail.

Whether it is the new lord Liu Bei or the new boss Zhang Fei, they also have great trust in Jiang Qin.

After Zhou Yu was grandly buried, Sun Yi and Sun Kuang and his family were placed in Linhuai, Jiang Qin also began to slowly let go of his grudges and tried to integrate into his new identity.

But Jiang Qin felt a sense of hatred for Huang Zu and the Jingzhou Army. Among the thousands of innocent people killed in Chaisang City, many of them were Jiang Qin and relatives and friends.

The Jingzhou army could not take advantage of the battlefield, so they used unarmed women and children to vent their anger. Such behavior made Jiang Qin unhappy and unwilling to accept it. In the previous battle, Jiang Qin personally took the lead in fighting and quickly defeated the Huangshe Navy.

"Haha..." Gan Ning said with a hearty laugh, "The general has already said 'Don't hold back'! With your joining forces, if we can't send the old boy Huang Zu into the river to feed the fish, we might as well jump into the river and drown ourselves!"

"Haha..." Jiang Qin couldn't help laughing.

"Zifu Qian has been around Jiangling for a few days. Seeing Huang Zu in front of him and unable to do anything, I guess he will be suffocating him!" Gan Ning looked into the distance and said with a smile.

………………………………………..

"What?" He looked straight at Huang Qiu, kneeling on the ground. Huang Zu couldn't believe what he had heard just now, and his expression was shocked, "Have you lost all your navy?"

He had no armor, his hair was hanging down, and his yellow shot was like a broken dog, and he replied in a mournful way: "Father, it's not that child is incompetent. It's really that bastard Gan Ning is too cunning.

He attacked from east to west while the boy was unprepared. The boy was really outnumbered... and there were also the remnants of the Sun family's naval army to help him..." Huang She's patrol navy had more than 70 warships of all sizes and 2,300 soldiers. In the end, only one Mengchong, three boats and more than 80 people were escaped, and all the rest of the people were gone.

"..." Huang Zu's face kept changing and changing. After a while, he suddenly looked up at the sky and shouted, "Gan Ning is shameless dog thief, Huang is incompatible with you. If you can't cut off your dog's head, Huang will take your surname..."

"Duke Huang, this is not the time to be angry..." Zhang Yun, deputy governor of Jingzhou Navy, helped Huang She up and comforted Huang Zu, saying, "Since the dog thief of Gan Ning dares to attack Jingheng (Huang She), there may be a second move. We must be careful!"

"Yes. Yes!" Huang Sho said in Zhang Yundi's words. "After the child broke through, he ordered people to pay attention to Gan Ning's movements and found that the Gan thief team was rushing towards Jiangling!"

"What a thief in Jiang. Huang didn't go to find him, but he came to the door!" Huang Zu rushed to Niu Dou's anger, his face turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Send the order, the whole army advances eastward and fights Gan Ning!"

"Director Huang, please be careful!" Zhang Yun hurriedly pulled Huang Zu, "After asking about the enemy situation, let's make a decision! Jingheng, how much warship force has Gan Ning used?"

"There are countless!" Huang She's eyes looked horrified and said in a trembling voice, "There are probably thousands of warships of all sizes, and the entire river surface is filled with Gan Ning's warships, and there is no head at all!" In order to alleviate his predicament, Huang She made an "exaggerated" description of Gan Ning's troops without hesitation.

"Huh~~!" After hearing this, even Huang Zu couldn't help but take a breath. When the Jingzhou navy was at its peak, although it was known as "there were thousands of ships in Mengchong", in fact, there were only more than 800 warships of all sizes.

He then lost to the Jiangdong Navy for a row, and his strength was greatly reduced. Now Huang Zu only has nearly 150 warships of all sizes and sizes, many of which are still newly built.

"Why did Gan Ning have so many warships?" Although Huang Zu knew that Gan Ning's strength was increasing, he really did not expect to be "stronger" to this extent.

"It is reported that most of the warships of the Jiangdong Navy were captured by Gan Ning, and Liu Beifang built himself, there might be so many ships..." Zhang Yun knew that Huang She must have exaggerated, but he still lied to the point of lying.

"If this is true, wouldn't our army hit the stone with eggs?" The anger in Huang Zu's heart was immediately replaced by coldness. A gust of cold wind blew into the cabin. Huang Zu couldn't help but chill, "It's better to avoid it for a while..."

"Gan Ning may not give up easily this time, and it is probably not a good idea to avoid it..." Zhang Yun pondered for a moment and offered advice, "Du Huang, don't worry, I have a plan that may defeat Gan Ning!"

"Come on!" Huang Zu asked overjoyed.

"in this way……"

.

On December 27, the seventh year of Jian'an, near dusk, the Jinfan Shui Fleet sailed to the entrance of Xiaze. Xiaze was located in the middle section of the Yangtze River, connected to Dongting Lake in the south, Han River in the north, and Jiangling in the west. The big ze is pocket-shaped, with a wide inside and a narrow mouth.

When he was about to enter Xiaze, Gan Ning suddenly received an urgent report from the vanguard fleet.

"Boss, the main force of Huang Zu's naval army was found in the big zodiac ahead. The vanguard is less than 10 miles away from our vanguard!" Wang Ning, Sima of the vanguard fleet, personally drove the clutch to report to Gan Ning.

"Oh~~?" Gan Ning exclaimed lightly, then said with a smile, "The old boy Huang Zu has become bolder, it seems to be a bit of a trick!"

"It's the land, boss!" Wang Ning was an old subordinate of Gan Ning, with a rich experience in water warfare. He immediately replied with a smile, "Huang Zu seemed to have requisitioned dozens of civilian ships. The ship was full of things, but the water was not deep. It was probably some firewood and grass!"

"Haha..." Gan Ning laughed in a long voice, "Our Jinfan Camp is the ancestor of Fire Attack. I didn't expect that the old boy Huang Zu dared to play Fire Attack on me! Even Kid Ning couldn't deceive me, how could he deceive me?"

"The time and place are good, but it's a pity that the people who play fire attack the earth are too bad!" Gan Ning restrained his laughter and said to Jiang Qin beside him with a high voice, "Everything is expected.

Stepping on the waves, use this battle to completely end the grudge with the old boy Huang Zu!”

"I'm going to settle the head of Huang Zudi!" Jiang Qin's eyes ejaculated, pulled out his sword and inserted it into the boat board hard, and said sternly.

"Treading the waves, how about we bet?" Gan Ning said with a big laugh.

“How to say it?”

"Let's see who killed Huang Zu! The loser will be the boss and use his salary to invite all his brothers to drink. How about it?"

"A word is certain!" Jiang Qin stretched out his right palm and responded with a high voice without hesitation.

"Bang!" Gan Ning reached out to fight Jiang Qin, laughed and said, "Treading to the waves, your whole family will have to drink the northwest wind in the next few months!" There were nearly 8,000 naval soldiers in Jinfan Camp. If everyone was invited to drink, even Gan Ning, General Jiang Qin and General General of the Central Army would definitely not be able to bear it.

What Gan Ning meant was that Jiang Qin would definitely lose.

"It's not certain who drinks the northwest wind!" Jiang Qin snorted coldly and replied.

"Hahaha..." After a moment, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin laughed at the same time, with the laughter full of mutual appreciation.

"Boss, what if I kill the Huang Zu?" Wang Ning said with some ignorance of the times.

"If you dare to kill Huang Zu, I will deduct your annual salary!" Gan Ning slapped Wang Ning's head and cursed with a smile, "Then promote you to be the captain! Haha..."

.

After half a cup of tea, the two naval armies of Ganning and Huang Zu were less than 5 miles apart.

Seeing that the Ganning Brigade's naval army had time to enter Xiaze, Huang Zu was overjoyed, his eyes shot out strange lights, and shouted loudly: "The Clippers ahead ignite!"
Chapter completed!
