Early morning.

The Zhao army advanced towards Jiangxia, fifty miles away.

In addition, Zhao Yunxian led 50,000 horses as a striker.

It's just that when Zhao Yun arrived in Jiangxia, two hours had passed, and at this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had already left Jiangxia with their men and horses in warships and went down the Yangtze River waterway.

Cao Cao has been paying attention to Liu Bei's movements, but this morning he was unable to sit on the same ship with Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei's warship was in front, and Cao Cao was not worried that Liu Bei would suddenly disappear.

In short, after suspecting that Liu Bei might flee to Yizhou alone, Cao Cao was very careful not to let Liu Bei out of his sight.

The 50,000 vanguard army led by Zhao Yun easily entered Jiangxia.

In addition to the ordinary people, there is still a little grain and grass left in the city. As for the sergeants, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and others, they have all left.

From Jiangxia to Chaisang, you can take all the waterways all the way, and Liu Bei will not abandon his wife and concubine.

Soon, the army led by Zhao Hui also came to Jiangxia.

Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao ran away, Zhao Hui was not in a hurry.

As long as Liu Bei and Cao Cao are running south and east, they will eventually be caught up by Zhao Hui.

The ends of the earth will also be caught up by Zhao Hui.

As long as Liu Bei and Cao Cao did not enter Yizhou, for Zhao Hui, even if they went to Yangzhou and really united with Sun Ce, Zhao Hui was not afraid.

The sailors led by Xu Huang have passed Xuzhou and are now on the coast of Yangzhou.

It's just for the time being, and it hasn't gone up the Yangtze River yet. Just docked at the harbor at the mouth of the sea.

In the face of more than 20 thousand-man warships, the sailors in Sun Ce's hands did not dare to attack.

Just sent someone to stare at Xu Huang's water master.

Sun Ce's pressure was very high, and he had already transferred from Wu County to Chaisang.

Wu Jun is behind, Chaisang is in front, he came to Chaisang in the hope of boosting morale, and even if Chaisang is defeated here, he can also retreat to Wu Jun.

After receiving the news, Liu Bei Cao Cao wanted to ferry to Chaisang, and Sun Ce had already taken Zhou Yu to the ferry to wait.

"Bo Fu, Liu Bei must already know the gunpowder formula, and when he gets off the boat, he must not be allowed to run away." Zhou Yu stood beside Sun Ce, without the heroic appearance of the past.

For gunpowder, he was still stuck at that step, not knowing what was missing except for sulfur and saltpeter.

It's not something he's good at, and he's something he's never been exposed to.

These days, Zhou Yu has also made up a lot of knowledge and read a lot of books written by alchemists.

But nothing was found.

Although they are sure that if they keep trying, they will also know.

But now they have to hurry, they need to start making gunpowder as soon as possible to use against Zhao Jun.

Now I only hope that Zhao Hui can give them a little more time, and I hope that Zhao Hui will stay in Jiangxia for a month.

However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are going to be disappointed after all.

After Zhao Hui's army arrived in Jiangxia, Zhao Yun, the vanguard in front, had already led an army of 50,000 and continued to move south.

In addition, Zhao Hui also began to collect ferries in Jiangxia, and hundreds of thousands of troops were ready to cross the Yangtze River directly from Jiangxia.

Sun Ce, who had been waiting at the ferry for nearly a day, finally saw dozens of ships of Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

Each ship had between a hundred and two hundred people.

These ships were much smaller than the warships in Zhao Hui's hands.

On the vast Yangtze River, it is very small.

The 10,000 people in the hands of Liu Bei and Cao Cao also used more than 50 ships.

"Gong Jin, they're finally here. What ship is Liu Bei on? Sun Ce asked.

Sun Ce waited here for a day, ready to put Liu Bei under house arrest until Liu Bei was willing to hand over the formula for gunpowder.

There are more than 50 ships, and the bow of the ship is hung with the dragon flag of the Han Dynasty, and some ships also hang the Liu character flag, or the Cao character flag.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's eyes mainly fell on the ship with Liu Ziqi.

As for Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are not interested now.

Although, when Cao Cao was in Xudu before, he coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes very chic, but the current Cao Cao is no longer the original.

One by one, the boats leaned against the ferry, and the soldiers disembarked from the boats.

It's just that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't see Liu Bei.

"No, Liu Bei is not on this ship."

A boat, but there are only more than 100 people, Sun Ce Zhou Yu who was guarding the ferry, as well as Huang Gai Zhou Tai and others, did not see Liu Bei.

"Cao Cao is out."

Zhou Yu's eyes saw Cao Cao get down from the ship that had just docked.

Zhou Yu immediately greeted him.

"Prime Minister Cao, is Mrs. Liu on the boat?"

"Brother Xuande, didn't you get off the ship just now?"

Cao Cao's ship had been following Liu Bei's ship.

Although there were more than fifty ships in total, Cao Cao could confirm that he was absolutely not wrong about this way down the river.

The ship that had just docked in front of him was the first to be ridden by Liu Bei, and along the way, absolutely no one had ever disembarked from this ship.

It was absolutely impossible for Liu Bei to change to another ship halfway.

"No, my people have been watching, and the ships in front of them have not found Liu Bei." Zhou Yu said.

"Oops."

Cao Cao immediately understood, and he ran forward.

His ship docked one step slower than Liu Bei, and Cao Cao's ship only docked after all the people on Liu Bei's ship disembarked.

Throughout the ferry, there were people everywhere.

Cao Cao looked over, where could he see Liu Bei's figure.

"Liu Bei is on the boat in front of me, he must have run away now, hurry up and send someone to find it." Cao Cao shouted.

This is Sun Ce's territory, and there are only a few thousand people in his hands, and now that he has lost Liu Bei's figure, it is very difficult for Cao Cao to find it, and he can only rely on Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

What Cao Cao has always guarded against is that Liu Bei will go against the current halfway. Or all the way down the river.

But he didn't expect that Liu Bei was here in Chaisang to change his shape.

Cao Cao had already understood that Liu Bei should have dressed up in disguise on the boat, changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and did not come to see Sun Ce and Zhou Yu after getting off the boat, but directly mixed in the crowd and left quietly.

Although there were only more than 100 people in each ship, in front, there were already more than 20 ships docked.

There were four or five thousand people who came down, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also brought tens of thousands.

The whole ferry port is now full of people.

Zhou Yu also reacted and said, "Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, you take people immediately, control all intersections, and no one is allowed to leave." ”

Surround the entire ferry, as long as Liu Bei is still here, even if they are mixed in the crowd, they can slowly find Liu Bei.

"Hopefully, it's still too late." Cao Cao said in a low voice.
