Chapter 36 How can I throw the pot out?

The Cao army's naval army was thirty thousand people advanced, but they were defeated because of Cao Ren's blind command. Although the losses were not too great, even Cao Ren felt that he really couldn't command and could only escape quickly.

The Cao army was as anxious as a dog that was strayed, and as anxious as a fish that was missing. Everyone even used the energy to feed their breasts before they escaped from the Xiakou waters.

Most of the Cao army soldiers threw the pot on the shore. Now they were hungry and tired, and could only eat scorched dry food. Everyone cursed, and Cao Ren did not dare to leave the cabin.

On the way back, Cao Ren was both transporting the boat and regretting, thinking that Zhang Yun was in good command, and he had changed him to something. Even if Cao Cao didn't punish him, he would not be able to raise his head in front of the Caos in the future. He might have a position that would be slowly surpassed by the younger generation.

This made Cao Ren very uncomfortable.

Alas, how can I get rid of the blame? I, Cao Ren, have always been very kind and have never conspired with others. I am really not used to it.

After a long day of sailing, I often came to report that there was a boat approaching the upstream.

Cao Ren snorted and asked casually:

"Who is it?"

"It's Wen Zhongye's banner."

Jiangling and other places were controlled by Cao's army. The ships from that direction must be their own people, and there were also big guys like Tower Ship in the formation. It was probably because Cao Cao was worried and sent someone to pick up Cao Ren.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren was very depressed again and stood up lazily and walked out of the cabin.

The boats in the distance were not moving fast, but the several ships led by the leader approached quickly, and a person on the boat said loudly:

"Wei Yan, the naval officer under Governor Cai, come to pick up the general!"

Zhang Yun was slightly surprised. He had a very good memory. He heard of the name of Wei Yan from Yiyang, but the poor family from Yiyang and the upper class of Jingxiang could not pee in the same pot. With Cai Mao's temperament, how could he arrange for this person to be a navy captain? This is not a small official.

How could Cao Ren remember who Cai Mao was under him? When someone met him, he waved his hand to let him approach and listen to Cao Cao's instructions.

Seeing that the boat was getting faster and faster by borrowing water, Zhang Yun suddenly shouted:

"Not good! Stop them!"

He had already seen that these ships were actually in an offensive posture, and the ship was extremely fast, and it was obvious that there were not many soldiers on the ship.

That means...

It's too late.

Wei Yan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, showed a grim smile on his face, waved his hand hard, and shouted angrily:

"ignition!"

The navy soldiers on the five captured ships sang in unison and threw the torch that had been prepared long ago into the ship. The Land had considered the plan to attack Xiakou before, but this time they simply asked everyone to put all the firewood and fish paste neatly in the seized ships and crashed into Cao's fleet!

"Stop, stop them!"

Cao Ren's command chaos was exposed at this moment. They were the same as when they came. In order to take care of Cao Ren, the ship was very close. It was difficult to disperse after no one stopped him. Wei Yan's fire ship hit Cao's large ship.

The upstream attacked the downstream, and the fire took advantage of the wind to quickly ignite Cao Ren's boat.

Cao Ren was so angry that he cursed, picked up a bow, put the strings on it in a few seconds, and was ready to teach Wei Yan a hard lesson, but Wei Yan had already jumped onto the boat that had been prepared long ago, cheering and directing the soldiers to circumnavigate.

Guan Ping and Lu Yi saw Wei Yan succeed from afar, but immediately ran from the tower ship to the fighting ship. Liu Bei's merchant ship and the fighting ship advanced together. The river was filled with cheers from Jingzhou dialect everywhere.

Why are there enemies coming upstream?

The Cao army was in a mess from Cao Ren. These people used ships and Cao army's outfits, but no matter how they looked, they were not Cao army soldiers. Could it be that the Jingzhou navy had a rebellion?

"Hold on, these are all traitors, these are all traitors. They have few soldiers, we can deal with them." Zhang Yun had already come back from the brief panic. While waving his hand and ordering the fleet to disperse, he hoarsely boosted morale and told the soldiers to remain calm.

But how could Guan Ping give him such an opportunity? Seeing that the fire had already ignited Cao Ren's boat, Guan Ping quickly took the fight ship to charge. The cold river wind blew Guan Ping's long hair away, as fierce as a tiger out of the cage.

"My fellow villagers in Jingzhou, I am the Han general Guan Ping! Our army was ordered to fight the thieves. Now Jiangling has been broken, Cao thieves... Cao thieves flee, and the thieves on the boat are already alone. When will they wait until they surrender sooner!"

Guan Ping originally wanted to brag that "the thief Cao was given the title", but in order to increase credibility, Lu Yi suggested that he say "the thief Cao escaped."

The Cao army sailors from Jingzhou were quite suspicious when they saw that the enemy was coming from the upper reaches. At this moment, when they heard Guan Ping say that Jiangling had been captured and Cao Cao had escaped, they were even more uproar and subconsciously believed it.

Guan Ping, why is Guan Ping here?

We didn't see him when we went there. Why did he come up from the upstream so many boats?!

Not only other naval forces, but even Zhang Yun was stunned. He couldn't figure out why so many enemies came from the upper reaches, and the flag in his hand hung weakly on the ground.

How could this happen? Cao's army has hundreds of thousands of people, so why is it so vulnerable that the enemy can break through Jiangling?

The emergence of Guan Ping has caused concerns about Jiangling's possible fall to spread rapidly.

Even if the soldiers on Jingzhou on the ship had never heard of Guan Ping, they would tell each other that this person was Guan Yu's son and could not be brave.

The previous failure made the Cao army dejected. Now he was too lazy to fight when he saw Guan Ping, and the scene was immediately out of control.

The fire was originally just Cao Ren's boat and the few boats next to him, but Cao's army's boat was too close and Jingzhou soldiers were dismantled again, so naturally the sucking boat occurred. The ships thumped together, and the fire began to be unable to control and continued to spread around.

Cao Ren did not understand the flag language of the navy army, so he could only order the soldiers to put out the fire with his throat, and at the same time he kept bent his bow and firing arrows, trying to stop Liu Bei's army from advancing.

If he fought on land, even if he reached this point, Cao Ren, who had experienced many battles, might not be able to fight back.

After all, he still has five thousand elite soldiers, and he is the main force among the main forces following him in the battles.

But like Cao Ren, these people are also landslides, and most of them are confused and miserable by the storm and previous defeats.

In addition, they were originally distributed on various ships and suddenly encountered fire attacks. They screamed in the chaos. How could they hear Cao Ren's command? These people were in a mess.

The fire was raging, and the Cao army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, was defeated like a mountain.

Seeing Guan Ping and others' fighting ships trembled and attacked, thousands of Cao army warships on the river either fled randomly or surrendered. Most of them caught fire because the ships were too close to each other, which made Guan Ping's offense turn into a rescue game.

Guan Ping took the lead and shouted the slogan "Capture Cao Ren alive". However, he did not expect that the Jingzhou navy troops would actually come to surrender. They gathered in the distance, and the waters in front of Guan Ping were blocked, and even the land-conference boats could not pass. A group of people were circling on the river. Guan Ping was so anxious that he couldn't laugh or cry, and could only keep calling Wei Yan, who had broken into the enemy's formation, to attack alone.

Seeing that the situation was over, Cao Ren quickly changed the boat and fled, but the boats around him caught fire, so he could only look for a few boats tied to his boat.

But when he saw this, Cao Ren's heart was cold.

It turned out that Wei Yan had already set fire and had set his sights on these small boats. He took the initiative to break the ropes on the boat one by one.

Zhang Yun and other naval soldiers snatched the boat and fled, but Cao Ren had insufficient experience in water battles and reacted too slowly. When he came to his senses, all the boats were gone, which made Cao Ren immediately hang alone in the middle of the river and slowly sink as the fired big ship slowly sank.

"Ah hahaha!" Wei Yan laughed proudly, "Cao Ren, I see where else can you run this time!"

There was fire beside him and water under his feet. Cao Ren sighed to the sky, and a trace of determination appeared in his eyes.

I am a general. If I ask them to show off with my head, it will definitely greatly damage our army's morale.

Then let me bury myself in the Yangtze River!

Cao Ren made up his mind, closed his eyes tightly, jumped deeper, and fell rapidly in the river breeze.

But the next moment, he did not fall into the river as he imagined, but fell to the ground with a bang. Cao Ren screamed in pain and looked around in horror with his face covering his face.

Then, he saw Chang Diao's face, which was also frightened and inexplicably frightened.

"Giant Eagle!"

Cao Ren exclaimed and found that Chang Diao had actually snatched a boat that could carry more than 20 people.

He didn't care about the severe pain on his body, and pressed Chang Diao's shoulders and said with tears in his eyes:

"The Giant Eagle... Is it still you are loyal to me! If so, if you can't get out, you have to go out yourself!"

Chang Diao was as stupid as a wooden chicken, and he didn't react for a while - he had already thought of running away when he was attacked by fire.

After all, he was Cao Ren's confidant. He knew that his general's ability to command water battles was like a dog's excrement, so he stared at Zhang Yun and saw Zhang Yun with his men and wanted to run away. Chang Diao jumped down immediately.

Well, the general is unwilling to abandon his ship and run away. He is brave enough to die. I have to go back and tell Prime Minister Cao that it is.

Chang Diao kicked Zhang Yun, who had not yet stood firm, into the river with tears in his eyes, and then killed several soldiers and occupied a single ship.

But then he realized that his boating ability was comparable to Cao Ren's ability to direct water wars. The boat was spinning back and forth under the effect of the boat sucking effect, and then collided with Cao Ren's big ship. Cao Ren fell from the sky and fell on it unbiasedly.

This scared Chang Diao so much that he was unable to possess himself.

Wei Yan is nearby, and wherever Cao Ren is, it must be the main attack direction of Liu Bei's army.

Seeing Cao Ren crying, Chang Diao made up his mind secretly.

General, you asked me to throw you away. If I really can't do it, I will really throw you away!

Wei Yan was originally worried that Cao Ren would not be able to catch him by jumping into the Yangtze River. When he saw Cao Ren jumping into a small boat, he couldn't help laughing and trembling all over with excitement.

"Haha, General Cao, don't go, come and fight with someone for three hundred rounds!"
