"Although I already know that the Jingzhou Navy is not ......very reliable," Gan Ning looked at the letter in his hand, "But is it a little too sad to ask the enemy army to send someone over to inform me of the rescue?" ”

"Does the authenticity of this letter need to be confirmed?" Cao Hong stepped forward to ask.

"There's no need to ......" Cao Ren next to him was also having a headache at the moment, "According to the contact letter from the Jingzhou Navy last time, it seems that the other party was really in the Dongting Lake area during that time...... But what is the situation of getting lost in Dongting Lake? ”

"Speaking of which, it seems like the last two days have been cloudy?" Gan Ning remembered something, "During this time, there is usually a thick fog in Dongting Lake, and if the fleet goes in, if there is no way to discern the direction, it is easy to get lost......

Some people will say, 'It's good to move in one direction', but in fact, if you really enter Dongting Lake, you don't have a compass, and who knows if you are going straight ahead. So after driving for a while, you can deviate a little, and maybe you end up in a circle somewhere, and there is no reference around, and it is really not easy to get out......

"So, how long will the Jingzhou Navy get lost over there?" Cao Hong asked curiously, after all, it had been a day or two since the incident happened to the other party to send a letter.

"I don't think I can see the road until it clears up over there...... Maybe it happens to be able to land, but the biggest problem is ......" Gan Ning got up and came to a map, "The other party wants to come over, but Zhou Yu is in Lukou to set up a formation. The Jingzhou Navy will get lost for a few days, and the morale is low, and Zhou Yu waits for his work......"

It is possible to wipe it all out...... Cao Ren and Cao Hong couldn't help but think. When the time comes, let alone come to support, you can't go to the rescue yourself. Without the Jingzhou Naval Army, then the four counties of Jingnan and Jingbei are all within the strike range of Sun Quan's naval army, except for Nanyang County......

"Whatever? Anyway, the military administration of Jingzhou is not completely under the imperial court......" Cao Hong thought for a while. If you go to rescue now, you can't get around the land port either.

"You can cruise over there, and then try to join the Jingzhou navy, so that at least the other party can scruple about it......" Gan Ning thought about it, and it seemed that it could only be like this. Zhou Yu's purpose in arranging the formation at Lukou was obvious, that is, to unite the naval forces and drag them there.

"But what is her purpose?" Cao Ren felt that Zhou Yu's move must have a deep meaning.

"What other purpose can ......" Gan Ning pointed to Ulin on the other side of the land pass, she wanted us to set up a formation here, and this was also the final battlefield she had chosen for us!

If he went to other places, Zhou Yu would kill him with his tail and go down the river, with the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Naval Army...... Gan Ning had been taught once before. Zhou Yu's naval army was no worse than her Jinfan army, when they came from afar and fought with Sun Quan's department, and finally the other party suddenly killed, it was indeed a little unprepared.

But even she has to admit that Zhou Yu is indeed a strong opponent in water warfare!

"Why in Ullin...... Also, there are no suitable places around as a port...... But why is the other party at Lukou? Cao Hong couldn't figure it out.

"Because of the Jingzhou Naval Army, in addition to the naval army, there are 20,000 soldiers, and more supplies will come over one after another. For the Jingzhou army, seizing Lukou means that they can attack the four counties of Jiangdong by land and water......" Cao Ren probably knew Zhou Yu's thoughts.

In fact, strictly speaking, Jiangxia County still has four or five county seats in the south of the Yangtze River, but due to Huang Zu's lack of strength, it has been defeated by Zhou Yu's army. Because of this, Zhou Yu built a large number of fortifications, and it was difficult to land on the south bank!

"While Zhou Yu is over there, wouldn't it be better for us to go south directly?" Cao Hong asked. Since Zhou Yu is already in Lukou, isn't Yuzhang County empty now?

"It's a pity, there's no way to ......" Cao Ren suddenly thought of something, then returned to his desk, looked for it, and divided a piece of information, "You see, a few days ago, Sun Quanjun strengthened the defense along the Yangtze River, especially Yuzhang County, I also want to say whether it was to resist our attack, it turned out to be to facilitate Zhou Yu's decisive battle with us......"

"I see, this is to force us to fight a decisive battle on the side of Lukou!" Cao Hong suddenly said, "Will we be afraid of them?" ”

"If you can join forces with the Jingzhou army, and when the time comes, 350,000 troops will cross the river together, how much can Zhou Yu deal with?" Gan Ning didn't find it difficult.

"But we also have to prevent Sun Quan's army from going north, so we have to leave 10,000 people to defend it, in fact, 30,000 people are enough to attack, right?" Cao Ren thought for a moment.

"Indeed, the ships on my side can only carry 10,000 soldiers...... The baggage troops, depending on the situation, may be able to rely on Jingzhou for supply...... There seems to be a lot of food over there......" Gan Ning proposed.

"Then let's go on the expedition!" Cao Ren immediately made a decision, "Zilian, you stay behind, no problem, right?" ”

"That's what I thought, too!" Cao Hong nodded, Lujiang County does need manpower to guard, if necessary, you can contact the Zang Ba Department in Xuzhou, especially to assist in defense.

On the same day, the army began to prepare, and the large army quickly got on the ship, brought about three days of dry rations, and then quickly began to set off. Five days later, the gloomy weather finally cleared, the fog of Dongting Lake finally dissipated, and the Jingzhou navy, which had been 'lost' for several days, finally saw the dawn of hope.

"The fog has lifted?" Seeing the rising sun, Cai Mao suddenly felt the urge to cry.

"The fog has lifted!" Zhang Yun leaned on the fence decadently, these days have been a nightmare. Morale has fallen to the bottom, and the feeling of being so confused and going around, but not being able to get around Dongting Lake, is really terrifying!

There was fog everywhere, and there was no further place to be seen, and everything seemed to be the same, whether it was left, right, or even 'straight walking' for days, the result did not change.

They even wonder if they have strayed into the hell of Buddhist propaganda.

"Where do we go now? Still moving on? Zhang Yun asked casually.

"You have to, go and join the Ganning Ministry!" Cai Mao said, they have been waiting for us for too long!

"Let's go, then!" Zhang Yun got up slowly, "By the way, do you want to find a place to rest on the shore for a day?" ”

“………… Approve! Cai Mao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed decisively. After wandering for a few days, I suddenly wanted to feel the feeling of being down-to-earth.

At the same time, on the Lukou side, Zhou Yu's headquarters also arrived here one after another, and it was after the Ganning Department had begun to move, and they came over one after another.

"It's just the Governor, why do we have to set up camp here?" Jiang Qin was still puzzled.

Zhou Yu was looking at Wu Lin at the moment, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned: "Because over there, there are monsters as our allies!" ”
