"To be honest, I really want to see how Mengde looks now."

Xiakou City was filled with joy. Liu Bei and Guan Zhang sat on the ground at the top of the city, looking at the busy scene outside the city, with a faint smile on their faces.

In this battle, Cao's army suffered no direct losses, but thanks to Cao Ren's stupid command, their navy was divided and surrounded. Most people were unwilling to surrender to Jiangdong and quickly went ashore to surrender to Liu Bei.

The soldiers were counted and Liu Bei's army captured 3,000 people in this battle, all of which were elite troops of the Jingzhou navy.

This greatly increased the morale of Liu Bei's army. The haze that had been shrouding on Liu Bei's army since the Battle of Changbanpo was wiped out, and everyone finally saw hope for victory.

Liu Bei was even more happy that he heard from the surrendered Jingzhou navy that the reason for this defeat was Cao Ren's arrogant and arrogant refusal to obey Zhang Yun's command. No matter what Zhang Yun said, he did the opposite, and even was too lazy to follow the usual routines of infantry battles to investigate the battlefield around the battlefield.

There are also people in Jingzhou who say that because of Cao Chun's death, the relationship between the people of Jingzhou and Cao's army was even more subtle, and the two sides clashed repeatedly. Many aristocratic races even regretted why they followed the crowd and surrendered to Cao's army directly.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and patted his thigh hard:

"It's still the military advisor right. The old thief occupied the time, Sun Quan occupied the advantage of the territory, and the eldest brother occupied the hearts of the people.

The old thief is not good at water battles, so he must use those Jingzhou people to fight, but the elders of Jingzhou are the same as us. We can fight this battle!"

Guan Yu looked at the injured soldiers with pain on their faces and supported each other slowly back, sighed and muttered:

"If Xu Tian was hunting, if my elder brother listened to me and killed Mr. Cao with one knife, he would not have happened today."

Liu Bei laughed in silence: "If everything in this world can be solved with one knife, then what if I, Liu Bei, went into the mountains without asking about the world?"

The three brothers sat silently for a while, and Zhang Fei suddenly slapped his thigh again, and Guan Yu frowned:

"You are shocked and suddenly you are so surprised?"

Zhang Fei looked nervous: "Cao Ren has more than 20,000 elite soldiers. If Ping'er bumps into him on the way back, wouldn't it be great?"

Guan Yu snorted and said calmly:

"Why are Guan's son afraid of these rats? Brother, give me a few boats, and I happened to catch up with Cao Ren. If he dares to fight back, he will take the head on his neck!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but smile.

This sworn brother loves the eldest son who has been wandering since childhood, but he always has to show his strict father's demeanor. Thinking that Guan Ping might be in danger, he couldn't wait to go to rescue him.

"Okay, you and my brothers go together!"

"Why did Brother Go in person?" Guan Yu felt a little ashamed - after all, Cao Ren's army is still there, and chasing against the current is a very dangerous thing.

Liu Bei laughed and stood up.

At this moment, the honest elder faintly exuded a hint of fanaticism and domineeringness that had been suppressed for a long time. The smile on his face was as gentle as before, but the domineering aura that naturally exuded made Guan Zhang unable to help but feel a hint of awe.

"Cao Zixiao bullied us with his many soldiers in Runan, but he has really regarded himself as a famous general over the years.

Today, we will bully others with our might and make him dare not be arrogant when he sees me and my brother in the future!"

Liu Bei looked full of hatred and stretched out his hands angrily. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei held each other on the left and right. The three brothers seemed to have returned to the years of wandering and frivolous knights back then, and it seemed that the world could be achieved!

With Liu Bei so brave, everyone in Liu Bei's army naturally had to fight and compete for the first place.

The surrendered Jingzhou army also expressed their willingness to follow Liu Bei to punish Cao Ren, which made Liu Bei board the warship without any preparation. Everyone was ready to grab Cao Ren and beat him up to vent his anger. Even Dong Xi and Chen Wu who were ashore were excited and said that we would not leave today and would follow Uncle Liu to beat Cao Ren.

But before everyone could walk far away, they saw a large area of ​​neat warships appearing on the river.

More than 20 ships were in the forefront, with large numbers of boats passing by, and there were five tower ships behind them. There were countless warships responsible for the warning around the tower ship. The entire fleet was like a sharp sword, looking amazing and powerful. The enemy had at least 5,000. Moreover, looking at the formation of this naval army, Dong Xi and Chen Wu, who had been through the battlefield, immediately frowned.

This... the person who commands the water battle is quite capable.

Before, Cao Ren's naval warships were too close, which was not only easy to collide, but also had a serious impact on flexibility because the passage was too narrow. Not to mention the coordinated combat between the warships, it was enough to see that the commander was using the theory of land combat to create water battles. The naval warships that arrived this time were arranged quite regularly and had obvious cooperation with each other. When fighting, various warships could play different roles and cause fatal blows to the enemy.

Dong Xi and Chen Wu's ship formation lined up, and hesitated to see the enemy rushing over quickly while the water flowed.

They were the guest army. Zhou Yu's military order only asked them to cooperate with Liu Bei and drag Cao's army in Xiakou, but they were mixed with the enemy on this wide water surface. No matter whether they could win or not, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. How can they explain to Gongjin when they go back?

Thinking of this, Chen Wu hesitated for a moment and immediately decided to avoid the battle to protect the ship. He slowly shook the flag and ordered his ship to disperse.

Zhang Fei was shocked. Although he was not a professional master of water war, Zhang Fei had lived in Jingzhou for a long time and understood the general routine of water war.

"Damn it, you can't disperse! You can't disperse!"

The mobilization of large naval ships is definitely not as flexible as that of infantry battles. The ships in front of them scattered, and the enemy's striking ships hit the enemy's ships. Even Guan Zhang's natural divine power could not resist them, and the people on the ship would immediately become the living targets of crossbowmen on the subsequent battleships.

These Wu soldiers sold their teammates directly, and Zhang Fei was so angry that he almost rushed over and chopped Chen Wu first.

Liu Bei had no fear on his face and shook his head and said:

"What are you afraid of? Just let them spread apart, and ask me which general in Jingzhou is going to make things difficult for me, Liu Bei!"

Guan Yu sneered, held a knife in his hand, and looked at the approaching navy and said aloud:

"Who will come? Report your name!"

The thick and majestic voice rippled back and forth on the river, and Liu Bei's army shouted in unison, without any fear of the strong enemy attacking.

Come on, Cao Ren, you can beat you away the first time you will be able to beat you away the second time.

As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, a cheer immediately sounded from the boat over there. A young man jumped onto the bow of the boat quickly, waved to Guan Yu repeatedly, and shouted in a brisk voice:

"Father, it's me!"

"Ping'er!" Guan Yu was happy, and then he was stunned again.

Guan Ping had previously discussed with Lu of the Eastern Wu to attack Jiangling, but in order to hide, he only got more than 20 civilian ships.

But there are more than a hundred warships of all sizes and there are thousands of soldiers on the ship. This is not the rather shabby navy before...

Seeing Guan Yu, the soldiers in Guanping's army shouted in unison, and everyone's cheers resounded throughout the river. Everyone on the boats were stunned. Dong Xi and Chen Wu were even more puzzled. Why were there so many Liu Bei's army coming from Jiangling?

Could it be that Guan Ping surrendered to Cao’s army? Or did Liu Bei turn to Cao Cao before, and they joined forces to earn us?

It could have been Guan Ping who captured Jiangling, right?

Everyone was waiting for Guan Ping's answer, but Guan Ping took a step back and made a gesture to Lu Jie.

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment: "What is the little general doing?"

Guan Ping smiled and said with excitement:

"If there were no Brother Lu, how could there be a great victory today? This matter should be reported by Brother Lu!"

A few days ago, Guan Ping and the Jiangdong Confucian General quietly became comrades-in-arms who trusted each other with life and death. He knew this Confucian general too well and knew that he was eager to make achievements and do something that was famous all over the world, and even did not hesitate to contradict his family. Now tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of eyes staring here, waiting for a response with anticipation. This is a good opportunity to be famous all over the world.

Lu Yi was the best at making changes, but his mind was blank at this moment and he couldn't speak in a daze.

The success of the Western Expedition to Jiangling is naturally inseparable from his secret planning. It can kill Jiao Tu, destroy Wenpin, and recruit a large number of Jingzhou naval troops to defeat Cao Ren. Guan Ping's contribution is far greater than that of him.

Reporting the military achievements under the crowd is definitely what the commander of the general does, and it is related to the record of who is the commander of this battle in history books. It is already considered the starting point of the famous generals who can "break" by Lu Zheng.

But Guan Ping actually gave him this opportunity!

This, this...

"Brother Lu, why are you polite? We are brothers of comrades!"

Guan Ping's words were sincere and gentle, which made Lu Yi feel warm in his heart, and his eyes were filled with tears without realizing it.

After the Lujiang crisis that year, the Lu family began to decline. It was entirely supported by the prodigy Lu Ji, with his strong knowledge and demeanor. Lu Yi was just following his uncle to handle family affairs, and his reputation was damaged because of his enemies Sun Quan as a shogunate.

No matter how hard he tried, his reputation would never be as good as that of his uncle in the clan's controversy, and the elders of the Sun family were even more wary of him and never were willing to be honest with him.

Over the years, only Sun Quan regarded him as his real person, and now, there is another friend in this world.

"What you said." Lu Yiru gently stroked his robe and sleeves, and wiped his eyes without any trace. The smile on his face was as gentle as a child. "A Ping, Brother Yu was still competitive when he was about the same age as you. Today, we are really taught. From now on, we... will be brothers!"

"Isn't it before?" Guan Ping smiled.

Lu Yi laughed loudly, he shook his white robe, slowly walked forward, stood at the bow of the boat, and said loudly:

"The humble Han Dynasty attacked the general, and the commander of Kuaiji Prefect Sun Huiquan, the commander of the Western Cao Lingshi Lu Ye met Liu Envoy, Guan Gong, and Zhang Gong."

"We are ordered by the army to go west to fight against rebellion. When we arrived in Jiangling, the young Guan Gong personally killed Jiao and attacked the thief's head, saying that the Dukes of Jingzhou came to help, and they had a plan to obtain 500 elite soldiers and more than 20 ships. They defeated Cao Ren's naval army on the river and defeated Cao Ren and surrendered 3,000 people. All the thieves had already escaped!"
