Zhou Yu nodded. In fact, he had some ideas about Yizhou. He didn't expect that Liu Zhang saw through Liu Biao's idea of ​​capturing Yizhou, but instead invited Liu Bei to Sichuan to fight against Lu Bu. He was really confused. Otherwise, after the Jiangdong Army captured Jingzhou

, as long as we capture Yizhou, we will have the foundation to dominate the world.

The person who feared Zhou Yu the most was actually Lu Bu. From the series of methods Lu Bu showed after the princes jointly attacked Bingzhou, it can be seen that Lu Bu's strength is not as simple as it seems. I am afraid Cao Cao also saw the relationship between Zang Ba and Lu Bu.

There is an unclear relationship, but Cao Cao did not dare to push Zang Ba too hard. If Zang Ba defected to Yuan Shao, it would be a big loss for Cao Cao, so he could only choose to trust Zang Ba for the time being, and allied forces

When attacking Bingzhou, the Jinfan bandits frequently attacked Jiangdong and Jingzhou, causing Jiangdong and Jingzhou to panic.

Even Zhou Yu had to admire the cunningness of the Jinfan thieves. Once they encountered a large group of naval forces, they would immediately flee. However, if a small number of naval forces were sent, it would be difficult to deter the Jinfan thieves. The Jinfan thieves treated passing ships

, even if it is robbery, it is extremely moderate. As long as there is no resistance, no harm will be done.

What Zhou Yu is most suspicious of is the relationship between the Jinfan thieves and Lu Bu. When Lu Bu was ordered by Liu Biao to attack Yuan Shu, he abducted Huang Zhong and Wei Yan from Jingzhou. Gan Ning was once under Lu Bu's command and was said to have been with Lu Bu.

The personal guard commander Dian Wei fought against each other. How could Lu Bu easily miss such a powerful general.

What happened later revealed a lot of doubts. The warships that Jiangdong Army lost to Lu Bu were plundered by Jinfan thieves on the way. It was incredible. Why would Gan Ning give up his achievements and be willing to go to the river to become a thief?

Jingzhou and Jiangdong's solicitation turned a deaf ear. If there were no problems with these people, it would be weird. Zhou Yu didn't want to eliminate the Jinfan thieves and eliminate the trouble for Jiangdong.

The navy under Lu Bu's command was weak. Zhou Yu, the Ta clan's navy, had naturally heard of it. Both the warships and the navy's combat experience were far behind Jiangdong Army and Jingzhou Army.

Jiangdong Army dispatched 40,000 troops. This was another big move after uniting the princes to attack Bingzhou. Jiangdong, which had been silent for a long time, seemed not to miss the opportunity in this battle and decided to take action. Today, Jingzhou is a piece of

Fat meat, when the ruler of Jingzhou does not have enough strength to frighten the enemy, everyone wants to take a bite.

Jiangxia has always been the front line of Jingzhou's fight against Jiangdong's army. However, there are no strong generals guarding Jiangxia at this time. Although Zhang Yun is a general in the navy, at this time Zhang Yun does not have many navy generals to obey orders. After

After the betrayal of the Cai family, although Zhang Yun escaped from the incident, he was still afraid of Liu Bei.

Now the governor of Jiangxia is Wang Can. Wang Can is considered a famous talent in Jingzhou. When he was in Chang'an, he was appreciated by Cai Yong and fled to Jingzhou to rely on Liu Biao. However, Liu Biao did not put Wang Can in high regard, and he only managed the place and led the troops in battle.

On the other hand, Wang Can had some experience. After Liu Bei took control of Jingzhou, Wang Can took advantage of the situation and joined Liu Bei and became an official under Liu Bei.

After some conversation, Liu Bei admired Wang Can's knowledge very much and recommended Wang Can as the governor of Jiangxia. In fact, he made Wang Can the governor of Jiangxia not only to resist the Jiangdong army, but also to contain Zhang Yun. Now Wang Can is even more powerful

The commander-in-chief of the army.

The prefect of Jiangxia had a high status in Jingzhou. Especially after the Jiangdong Army repeatedly invaded Jiangxia, the prefect of Jiangxia had the power to mobilize the navy.

People like Wang Can, who had not been reused in Jingzhou before, unexpectedly became the governor of Jiangxia. Although the generals in the navy had to obey Wang Can's orders because of Liu Bei, they actually had deep doubts about Wang Can's ability.

Wang Can did not show much prominence in Jingzhou before, but he was a capable person. After entering Jiangxia, he managed the army well and gradually won the respect of the generals in the army. Even Zhang Yun also agreed with Wang Can.

The Jiangdong Army sent troops this time very covertly, and Jingzhou's eyes were focused on the war in Xiangyang at this time, so Sun Ce led the navy was not discovered by the navy until it was about to approach Jiangxia. Wang Can learned of the Jiangdong Army's arrival.

The news was extremely shocking. Jingzhou had already reached an alliance with Jiangdong before. I didn't expect that Jiangdong's army would suddenly take action at such a critical time.

On the warship, Sun Ce looked happy when he saw that the Jingzhou Army did not have much defense. He learned the news of the arrival of the Jiangdong Army.

, went on a rampage, and defeated the Jingzhou navy in just half a day. Many navy officers saw that the Jiangdong army was extremely powerful, and directly chose to surrender.

In this battle, the reason why the Jiangdong Army won so easily was not only due to the surprise of the Jiangdong Army, but also had a lot to do with the defeat of the Jingzhou Navy before passing by. Xiangyang was in danger, and the Jingzhou Navy supported it.

The Wanjingzhou navy is the elite among the navy.

Moreover, a general like Zhang Yun, who has been in charge of the navy for many years, cannot be reused. Although Wang Can leads the army well, he is still a scholar and has no deep understanding of the terror of Jiangdong Army. This has to a certain extent caused the current situation.

situation.

After defeating the Jingzhou navy, Sun Ce was very proud. His former formidable enemies were now so vulnerable, which greatly boosted the arrogance of Jiangdong's army.

Nearly 40,000 Jiangdong troops surrounded Jiangxia and attacked Jiangxia day and night.

Wang Can looked anxious, and then he remembered that there was Zhang Yun, a famous general in the Jingzhou army, in the city, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite Zhang Yun.

Although Zhang Yun did not have military power, he still understood the situation of the navy. When he learned that the 10,000 Jingzhou navy was defeated by the Jiangdong Army in just half a day, one can imagine his annoyance. As for the Jingzhou navy,

Zhang Yun put in a lot of effort, and he and Cai Mao put in a lot of effort to make the Jingzhou Navy stronger and stronger, and they did not fall behind in the battle against the Jiangdong Army.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei only took charge of Jingzhou for only one year, and the once powerful Jingzhou naval force declined. The naval force supporting Xiangyang was an incomprehensible thing in itself. Liu Bei also saw in this matter

He didn't understand the navy and only wanted to control the Jingzhou navy, but he ignored Jingzhou's most powerful enemy on the river, the Jiangdong Army.

Even when Zhuge Liang was in crisis in Xiangyang, he thought of the support of the Jingzhou navy.

The Jingzhou Navy suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, which gave the Jiangdong Army an opportunity. If Zhang Yun was in charge of the Navy, he would definitely not agree to support Xiangyang. There is a big difference between naval operations and land operations.

It was precisely because of Zhuge Liang's order that the most elite part of the Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses.

Today is still the tenth update. I have been quite busy with work recently and have almost exhausted all my manuscripts. I hope you will support me!
