Chapter 346: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

Sudden fires appeared on both sides of the riverbank. Countless soldiers shouted trumpets and carried light boats down to the river. Immediately after him, he brought firewood, firewood, oil and other things that ignited the fire.

In a short time, the fire was in full bloom, and hundreds of light boats loaded with burning firewood formed a thick wall of fire on the river in front.

Huang Zu in the rear saw the fireboat in front of him Suojiang on the building boat, and he didn't know where he had been ambushed. On the vast river, once they are approached by a fireboat, they all have to go into the river to feed the fish.

At the sound of an order, the Jiangxia Navy immediately turned around and fled back in a hurry.

Zhou Yu stood half a step behind Lu Yao, secretly relieved in his heart. Finally, the defenders of Changsha came out in time to relieve the siege. Rockets together, all three building ships have to be played.

At this time, Gan Ning commanded the Jinfan thief to extinguish the fire on the ship, and returned to the bow of the ship in a hurry. He kind of got it. This is clearly a bureau set up by the lord and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian.

"I want to run, it's too late." Lu Yao smiled faintly, not looking at the Jiangxia Navy army that fled in a hurry behind him, but just stared at the approaching fireships. Compared with the Jiangxia Navy, he was more worried about these fireships.

After a while, a muffled crash came from below. The three building boats that were moving at full speed crashed into the fireboat and broke out of the encirclement. It was only then that Lu Yao dressed up, climbed to the top of the building, and looked at the back.

As he expected, the retreat of the Jiangxia Navy was also blocked in the river by dense fireboats. Thousands of fireships are like a thick city wall, stubbornly resisting the breakthrough of the Jiangxia naval army.

Then the drums beat again. The Changsha Navy came from the rear, crossed the three building boats where Lu Yao was, and stepped forward to beat the water dogs.

When Lu Yao saw this, he was too lazy to look at it.

There are fireships locking the river in front, and there are Changsha sailors in the back, although the Jiangxia navy has many ships, but it has lost its morale. If this can still allow the Jiangxia Navy to escape, Sun Jian will also be in vain as a hero in the world.

Three boats slowly docked. Lu Yao stepped off the deck and came to Jia Xu. The two smiled brightly and returned to Changsha City.

Back in the camp, Lu Yao sat down and looked at Jia Xu hesitantly: "Wenhe, you guessed the king's thoughts." ”

Jia Xu twisted his beard with a smile, shook his head and said: "The prince would rather abandon the land route and take the water route, how can his subordinates not guess the prince's thoughts." ”

Gan Ning heard this, and immediately slapped his thigh: "I said how can the lord take advantage of his weaknesses and avoid his strengths, and take the water route instead of land." Clever and clever. ”

Zhou Yu also sorted out his mind at this time, looked at Jia Xu enviously, and said in his heart that I am afraid that only this person can guess the master's thoughts, arrange in advance and invite you to enter the urn, and finally catch turtles in the urn, and annihilate the Jiangxia naval army.

Lu Yao smiled, in a very good mood.

Jia Xu is right, but not entirely accurate. The reason why we have to take the water route is that it is faster to take the water route than to take the land route. Second, there is no telling how many players on land will be eager to try to intercept him. In contrast, it is better to fight and break through the siege of the Jiangxia Navy and flee back to Changsha. Third, and most importantly, he was worried about the Jiangxia Navy.

He had the heart to support Sun Jian to conquer Jiangdong. There are many rivers in Jiangdong, and it is difficult to move forward without a navy. Although Changsha is a big city, Sun Jian went to fight Dong Zhuo, and Liu Biao took the opportunity to drain the garrison. can also gather a naval army, thanks to Liu Biao who didn't play the bottom of the kettle, took away people, and didn't take away many boats. So he took advantage of the situation to cooperate with Jia Xu and laughed at the Jiangxia army.

However, this plan is also dancing on a wire rope, which is quite risky. He and Jia Xu both belong to the same kind of people, and they can't afford to be early. Looking at all the top strategists, I'm afraid only Jia Xu can guess his thoughts. If you change people, you can get out of danger, but if you want to swallow the Jiangxia army, it may not be.

At dawn, Sun Jian came to the camp. Although he looked tired, he was in good spirits, his face was full of red light, and when he saw Lu Yao, he immediately reported the good news: "This battle completely wiped out the Jiangxia Navy." Fifteen ships, more than 100 ships, 20 fighting ships, and countless red horse boats were seized. It's a big victory. ”

Gan Ning listened to Sun Jian's report, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, and looked at Lu Yao's eyes with more and more reverence. He didn't expect to win so much, basically half of the Jiangxia army.

Zhou Yu listened, feeling both excited and helpless. What is exciting is that it is just as Lu Yao said before. Fighter, Riya. This battle really won a lot, and in one fell swoop promoted the Changsha Navy to the first position of the Jingzhou Navy Army. Helplessly, Lu Yao has to return to Zhuya after all, and he doesn't know what year and month he will be able to listen to his teacher's teachings again.

Lu Yao's brows furrowed slightly. The slash was less than he had imagined. In particular, only fifteen building boats were seized. According to the scale of each building ship carrying 1,000 people, at least 300 building ships are needed to carry 300,000 people, and if you add the soldiers and horses escorting the escort, I am afraid it will be even more.

Sun Jian was on the rise, didn't notice that Lu Yao frowned, and after reporting the results, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity to let Huang Zu Xiao'er take advantage of the chaos to go ashore and escape." If the prince personally led the army, he would definitely be able to capture Huang Zu'er alive. ”

A sycophant that is not big or small makes Lu Yao feel a little better. Frankly speaking, capturing Huang Zu alive may not be a good thing. Liu Biao obviously didn't dare to openly tear his face. That's why he had the opportunity to lead the Jiangxia Navy into the ambush circle. If he had used rockets in the first place, he would have been captured alive a long time ago, and where would there be this big victory.

From this point of view, it is more in line with the current interests of Changsha County to let Huang Zu go, so as not to make Liu Biao angry and ashamed. After all, he is just here to support Sun Jian, not to lay down a piece of ground for Sun Jian in person.

Lu Yao was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Sun Jian say, "Shang Xiang, come and meet the prince." ”

"The little girl Shangxiang, a certain person came to report the good news, and brought it along the way." Sun Jian pushed a little girl in front of him. A look of relief.

At first, when he learned that the Jiangxia Navy was dispatched, he only thought of sending troops to rescue Lu Yao. But Jia Xu stopped him and said that he would wait. When he learned that Lu Yao was being pursued by the Jiangxia navy, he was so anxious that he was about to send troops to rescue him desperately. Jia Xu said that this was a signal from Lu Yao, who planned to swallow the Jiangxia Naval Army.

He was suspicious, thinking of the previous matter of Jia Xu being the master of Lu Yao, so he set up an ambush on both sides of the strait according to the plan. Sure enough, the Jiangxia Navy was swallowed in the first battle and won a lot. So he decisively brought Sun Shangxiang along to deepen the relationship between the two sides.

"I've seen the prince." Sun Shangxiang bowed, his big smart eyes turned straight, obviously Ma Yunlu's type.

"It's too much trouble to have labor." Lu Yao was helpless, thanked him, and then ordered someone to send Sun Shangxiang to Cai Yan to take care of.

"The prince didn't sleep all night, and he retired first." Sun Jian saw Sun Shangxiang being taken away, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and he immediately retreated.

Sending Sun Jian away, Lu Yao immediately found Huang Yueying and handed over the Lu Gong Secret Record to her, which immediately made her so happy that she hugged the Lu Gong Secret Record tightly like a baby.

Lu Yao smiled and sent Huang Yueying to retreat. Now that Liu Biao has been provoked, it is time to advance the march into Jiangdong.
