Sun Quan could see that the people confronting Gan Ning and the others were wearing Cao's army uniforms.
Lujiang in the north of the Yangtze River was Cao Cao's territory.
Seeing that Gan Ning was about to fight Cao Cao's men again, Sun Quan had to shout loudly to stop it. He could not start a war with Cao Cao now. He had not yet figured out the actual situation of Cao Cao's navy. It would be easy to suffer losses in a fight, or there might be dangers. What bad consequences.
Hearing Sun Quan's shout, Chen Zhou waved his hand again to ask them to stop.
"Xingba, don't mess around."
Sun Quan's ship docked, he got off the ship and continued to shout.
Their warships docked together at this time, and their momentum was several times greater than that of Chen Zhou. However, they still did not dare to fight in front of Chen Zhou. The alliance had not been formally established, and Cao Cao was still stronger than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao before him. Yuan Shu is even stronger combined.
When it is powerful to a certain extent, it can make the enemy feel fear.
"Sir, we meet again."
Sun Quan stopped in front of Sun Shangxiang and Gan Ning to stop them from messing around.
When he was fighting Yuan Shu, he followed Sun Ce and met Chen Zhou once. After such a long time, he never expected to see Chen Zhou again at this time.
Zhou Yu met Chen Zhou a few days ago. When he saw Chen Zhou appearing here, he bowed and said: "Du Zhi, Huang Zu is our enemy. Please hand him over to us."
Sun Quan didn't know why Chen Zhou wanted to save Huang Zu, but he tried his best to be polite and echoed: "Please, sir, return the man to us."
"Huang Zu?"
Chen Zhou asked blankly: "What Huang Zu? The water fight between you and Huang Zu was quite spectacular. I just like to watch the excitement, so I brought people here to watch across the river. I have never interfered with your water fight. You Why do you come to me to ask for someone?"
This kind of thing must be denied to the end.
Anyway, if you don't admit it, nothing will happen.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Gan Ning jumped up, pointed at Chen Zhou, and said angrily: "I saw with my own eyes that it was your people who rescued Huang Zu."
Chen Zhou looked at Gan Ning again and saw this man with bird feathers on his head and bells on his body. He looked like a character from the Three Kingdoms in his memory. He asked, "May I ask, what is your name?"
Gan Ning said: "Gan Ning, Gan Xingba."
Chen Zhou laughed and said: "Gan Xingba, you are not Huang Zu's side? Why did I save Huang Zu? In fact, you let Huang Zu go. In order to find a reason, you framed me and dumped the blame on me. Right?"
"How do you know I am Huang Zu..."
Gan Ning was surprised at first when he heard Chen Zhou tell his origin easily, but he quickly put the surprise behind him and explained: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't, the eldest lady saw it with her own eyes."
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Du Zhi, please stop sowing discord."
Sun Shangxiang did see it with his own eyes. They saw the eldest lady nodding slightly, dispelling all doubts about Gan Ning.
Miss?
Chen Zhou looked at the soaked woman curiously, thinking that this was the future Mrs. Sun. She was still so young now, and he didn't know if Liu Bei would still be eaten by Liu Bei.
"Did you see it wrong?"
Chen Zhou waved his hand and said: "There are only so many of my people. You can clearly see that there is no such thing as Huang Zu."
Sun Quan: "..."
He had no choice but to look at Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others, feeling helpless for a while.
"My lord, Gan Xingba and the eldest lady may have really seen it wrong."
Zhuge Jin smiled cautiously, shook his head and said, "Let's go back first and discuss it later!"
Sun Shangxiang said anxiously: "No, Huang Zu hasn't been caught yet, how can he go back?"
Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment, agreed with Zhuge Jin's suggestion, winked at Sun Quan, and said: "My lord, maybe I really saw it wrong. Let's go back!"
Even if they can take down Chen Zhou and others, those who deal with Cao Cao in Lujiang are declaring war on Cao Cao. Even if Cao Cao's army does not have enough navy, they will have to cross the river to fight against Wu Commandery and attack them Sun Family. It is also a troublesome thing for them. To declare war on Cao Cao, at least they have to wait until their alliance is formed.
"go back!"
Sun Quan's face darkened. He lost all respect for Chen Zhou just now. He gave Chen Zhou a stern look, boarded the ship and left unwillingly.
"Second brother!"
Sun Shangxiang didn't want to let Huang Zu go, let alone go back in frustration.
However, with the current situation, even if I feel aggrieved, I can only endure it and swallow this breath.
Gan Ning was also unconvinced, but knowing that he would not return to Huang Zu today, Chen Zhou's attitude was resolute. The difference in strength between the two sides was clearly shown in this comparison.
"go back!"
Sun Quan emphasized again and boarded the warship.
Everyone else also boarded the ship one after another and prepared to leave.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to persuade Sun Shangxiang to take her away. All the Sun family's warships left the shore in a mighty manner.
"If I'm not wrong, Cao Cao's army lacked naval generals. One Cai Mao was not enough for Cao Cao, so they came up with the idea of saving Huang Zu."
On the boat, Zhuge Jin analyzed and said: "I just have another doubt. How could Chen Duzhi judge that Huang Zu would be defeated by us and hunted down by us, so he could prepare here in advance to rescue him?" people?"
Zhou Yu sighed: "I'm afraid that our conspiracy with Uncle Liu Huang cannot be hidden from Chen Duzhi's eyes. He has seen through us long ago. This person is... terrible!"
Hearing this, Sun Quan and others fell into deep thought.
They asked themselves about their conspiracy with Liu Bei. They did it very covertly, but it was still seen through by an outsider. It seemed that Chen Zhou was really scary. When fighting Cao Cao in the future, they would definitely be under a lot of pressure when facing Chen Zhou.
Everyone was silent.
But not willingly, that’s for sure.
Sun Quan clenched his hands into fists, and finally sighed helplessly, and that was probably it.
——
"Sir, they are really gone."
Dian Wei held the iron halberd in his hand and clashed it hard for a while, making a crisp sound, and hummed softly: "I thought they were so tough that they dared to fight us, but it turns out they are nothing more than that."
Chen Zhou said: "It's better not to fight if we can. It's not convenient for us to start a war with them now, but they don't dare to take action, which is what we expected."
The people of Yangzhou and Jingzhou were indeed afraid of Cao Cao.
It's normal not to dare to fight.
Chen Zhou could be so calm because he had accurately calculated their thoughts and said: "Let's go back."
The good show was almost over, they didn't bother to care about Jiang Xia's situation next, as long as Huang Zu got it.
"Is there anyone else around us whom Cao Gu arranged to come in?"
On the way back, Chen Zhou asked.
Cao Gu arranged for someone to follow Chen Zhou all the time so that Chen Zhou could investigate or send any news.
"My subordinate is here!"
A Cao Jun soldier came out and said.
Chen Zhou touched his chin and said: "When you release the news, you say that Liu Bei has conspired with the Sun family for a long time. The attack on Jiangxia is just a show for them. The purpose is to kill Huang Zu and betray Huang Zu to Sun Quan in exchange for an alliance." , in short, it is to discredit Liu Bei, you know."
Of course they understood. After receiving the order, they went to work immediately.
Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness will suffer a heavy blow again.
Chen Zhou added: "In addition, arrange people as soon as possible to bring all Huang Zu's family members over."
