Zhou Yu was a little surprised to see that Cao Jun's naval forces had assembled so quickly and were able to intercept them on his side.
You must know that most of Cao Cao's army are from the north. The strength of the navy army is definitely not as powerful as theirs in the south, but they can do this after only a short training time. It is unexpected and amazing, and at the same time it makes Zhou Yu feel a strong sense of threaten.
Cao's army seems to be able to defeat them regardless of whether it is an army or a navy. This is not good.
It seems that the alliance between Sun and Liu is very necessary and must be formed as soon as possible.
"Gongjin is here, what's the matter?"
Chen Zhou asked curiously.
Zhou Yu said: "There is nothing else, but we are going to fight Huang Zu next to avenge our old lord, not you, so I come here to explain."
Chen Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked at the warships beside him. He felt that Zhou Yu's explanation was just a reason. He mainly wanted to see how Cao Jun's navy was doing and its specific strength. He smiled and said: "Gong Jin just said Just told me, there is no need to come here in person."
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "This is more sincere."
Chen Zhou said: "We have seen Gong Jin's sincerity, but it is a pity that we in the military camp cannot invite Gong Jin to come in and talk about it."
Zhou Yu also knew that there was no chance of entering Cao Jun's camp, so he did not force himself. He bowed and said, "We were the ones who disturbed him just now."
After saying this, he went back.
Chen Zhou refused to let anyone chase him and allowed Zhou Yu to leave.
It's really a courtesy. Chen Zhou went there just now, and now Zhou Yu comes to see again. The Sun family still has a lot of ideas.
"Sir, I think they want to see the strength of our navy."
Cai Mao also understood Zhou Yu's thoughts.
Chen Zhou said: "Then let him watch, but don't let them enter the barracks. They can just watch outside. Let's go back!"
Cai Mao looked at Zhou Yu's ships and said after a while: "If our navy wants to fight Sun's navy, the chance of winning is still not good. Our navy can respond quickly now and can outflank Zhou Yu's warship. We have a small number of elite naval forces, and the other naval forces still need training. In addition, there is a group of soldiers from the north who have not even been able to overcome seasickness."
Navy training is not easy.
It is also difficult for northerners to immediately become familiar with water warfare.
"Not urgent!"
Chen Zhou said: "When Zhou Yu saw our reaction just now, he felt a certain amount of shock and fear in his heart. Jiangdong Sun will not harass us anymore, just continue to train well!"
"good!"
With Chen Zhou's words, Cai Mao can rest assured.
They returned to the military camp. After disembarking from the ship, Chen Zhou did not stay in the military camp. Instead, he went back to Wancheng to continue accompanying the Erqiao sisters. My vacation in Lujiang was quite comfortable. I didn't have to do anything by myself. I only pretended to inspect the camp occasionally and just took a look and came back.
Cai Mao is very dedicated and I feel relieved to have him around.
——
After Zhou Yu returned, several days passed.
Sun's naval forces were fully prepared and set out for Jiangxia. The person leading the way was Gan Ning. After joining Sun Quan, Gan Ning always wanted to teach Huang Zu a lesson and vent his anger.
I want to make Huang Zu regret it.
The army set off in great force.
The scene of warships sailing on the river is very spectacular, and the scene of water battle is even more magnificent.
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were on one of the warships, and Lu Su was also there, chatting about Zhou Yu's visit to Cao Ying that day.
"Cao Jun's navy, are they really training that fast?"
Lu Su exclaimed.
Isn't the training speed of those navy soldiers from the north too terrifying?
It was so fast that they couldn't even imagine it.
Zhou Yu affirmed: "As soon as they saw me coming, they were able to intercept me quickly, but it is not ruled out that Cai Mao may have only trained part of it and used this part to intercept me that day. Most of the sailors in the military camp were still not good at it. "
Sun Quan nodded and said, "It's possible."
They prefer to believe that this will be the case.
Otherwise, Cao Cao's navy, which he has trained for several months, will be almost as strong as theirs, which will greatly damage his self-confidence.
Sun Quan added: "I just got another letter from Uncle Liu Huang, confirming that there is no problem in this battle and Huang Zu must die. The people arranged by Uncle Liu Huang in Jiangxia will continue to spread all the secrets of Huang Zu's army, how to arrange his troops, etc." , can we believe it?”
He asked the question again.
Zhou Yu affirmed: "We can completely believe that Liu Bei is more afraid of Cao Cao than we are. Cooperation is inevitable and Huang Zu will die!"
"Death, revenge!"
Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said.
Sun Jian's revenge can finally be avenged.
Anyone who dares to offend their Sun family must die, and no one will be spared.
Sun's warship continued to sail toward Jiangxia in a mighty manner, riding the wind and waves. Not long after, it approached the vicinity of Jiangxia. At this time, Huang Zu had already prepared his troops and was waiting for Sun Quan to attack, but Little did he know that Jian Yong beside him had sold him completely.
All his arrangements were sold by Jian Yong.
The agreement between Sun Quan and Liu Bei was very simple. They would only kill Huang Zu and not capture Jiangxia. If Huang Zu died, the Sun family would immediately retreat.
This is how the initial cooperation was achieved.
"Mingfu, I suggest you be more cautious."
Seeing Huang Zu's confidence, Jian Yong gave a false reminder.
Huang Zu shook his head and said: "Xianhe, you are worrying too much! Many years ago, I could shoot Sun Jian. If Sun Ce came, I might still need to worry, but Sun Quan... ha! In terms of fighting, he is far inferior to Sun Ce. I can even kill Sun Jian, and it will be easy to kill Sun Quan in this battle."
He laughed twice and said disdainfully: "Look at me, come back with Sun Quan's head, Jiangdong Sun family, nothing more than that!"
With the record of killing Sun Jian, Huang Zu was full of confidence and did not take Sun Quan seriously at all.
Jian Yong: "..."
He knew that Huang Zu would die soon.
Pretending to be a kind reminder, Jian Yong has already done it. Huang Zu's life and death has nothing to do with him. Everything can be carried out as planned.
For the sake of the big man, it is necessary to be more cunning and cruel.
——
at the same time.
Hearing that the Sun family was officially going to fight against Jiangxia, Chen Zhou would not ignore the excitement and asked Cai Mao for 500 elite navy soldiers, plus 500 tiger soldiers, to set off from Jiangbei and approach Jiangxia.
Jiangxia is right on the bank of Lujiang River. It is actually very easy for Chen Zhou to go to the theater without any trouble.
When they arrived nearby, they saw Sun's warships already in position, but not yet engaged.
Huang Zu's defenses were all ready and he was waiting for Sun Quan to attack.
"Huang Zu's defense is well done!"
Chen Zhou looked up, used his unprofessional military knowledge to make a judgment, and then said: "As expected of Huang Zu who can kill Sun Jian, I have a feeling that he will be betrayed by Liu Bei in this battle. Evil will come." Do you think we can rescue Huang Zu?"
This was his sudden idea. It was a good idea to save Huang Zu and let him and Cai Mao train Cao Jun's navy together. It was worth a try.
