Somewhere on the Yangtze River, a group of warships with the flag "Sun" erected were going down the river at an extremely fast speed.

The rather disgraced Zhou Yu and his generals, as well as Sun Ce, whose left arm was bandaged with gauze, all stood at the bow of the ship, looking very solemn.

Sun Ce spat into the river with blood-streaked saliva: "This Pang Shiyuan is quite aware of current affairs. Not only did he come to seek refuge, he also persuaded the Jingzhou nobles to donate more than 30,000 soldiers, 8,000 pieces of armor, and

Hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass were sent to Danyang County to help me repel the enemy. After this battle is successful, he should be heavily rewarded...hiss..."

He spoke so excitedly that he couldn't help but touch the wounds on his arms and shoulders, and he gasped in pain.

Lu Su said with concern: "Having said that, our soldiers are already exhausted. Even though there is dry food on board, we can supplement it a little. However, with such a weak army, it is really difficult to deal with Jiang Huan's 40,000 to 50,000 elite troops."

.”

Although Zhou Yu frowned, there was still some confidence and calmness in his eyes.

"Liu He is really powerful. He is willing to use such a heavy bait to attract our army's attention. He uses a mere Jiang Huan as the real main force in an attempt to seize our Jiangdong foundation. However, now that Pang Shiyuan is here to help, as long as our fleet arrives

Danyang, hum, I will let them know that in this water battle, it is not just a few warships that can have combat effectiveness."

Jiang Qin and other Jiangdong generals were also happy and their morale increased greatly.

"Yes, we Jiangdong soldiers are their ancestors when it comes to water warfare!"

"Then let them see how powerful we are."

"Liu He actually set the real decisive battle on the Yangtze River. This is a bit too arrogant."

"This time we not only have to retreat from the enemy, but also take advantage of the situation to move north. If Yuzhou is lost, we will take his Xuzhou, haha."

Danyang County, Jiangcheng County Wharf.

After the prefect Liu Xun expressed his surrender, he held a banquet at the county government office to welcome Jiang Huan and others.

However, although Chen Deng thought there was no problem, military advisor Xu Shu suggested that it was better to be safe.

Therefore, Jiang Huan only brought a few people, including Chen Deng, Xu Shu and others, ashore to receive the surrender and various military and political rosters of Danyang County, while leaving Tai Shici, Chen Dao and others on the ship to take precautions.

, and at the same time requested that the surrender banquet be moved from the county government office to a temporary straw shed by the river.

Liu Xun picked up the wine bottle and toasted Jiang Huan, but Jiang Huan did not show his appreciation.

"Jiang was favored by the prince, and was entrusted with an important task by your majesty, so that a vulgar man from Bingzhou could receive such a navy. Jiang must not forget the great kindness of God. Now, Governor Liu understands the righteousness,

I am willing to surrender, but the land east of the Yangtze River is the foundation of the Sun family's business for many years. There will be a hard battle soon. How dare you ruin official business with drinks? I hope the eunuch will forgive me."

Liu Xun repeatedly accused him: "Yes, it is because the subordinate did not think carefully and thought poorly."

He put down the wine bottle and said again: "Although the counties in the east of the Yangtze River have been ruled by the Sun family for many years, your majesty is wise and benevolent, and manages the country well. He has established official schools, established medical clinics, and evened the land. Within the four seas, it has long been

All the people want to return home, and now the general's army has arrived, in line with the will of heaven and the people's will. Although Liu is not talented, he has some friendship with the prefects and county magistrates. He is willing to send letters to persuade them to surrender. If he can succeed, he will also

It can avoid a military disaster."

Jiang Huan nodded and said: "If this is the case, Jiang will ask your majesty for this first contribution to the prefect. When the time comes, whether he goes to court to pay homage to the prime minister or to be a high official in the border area, this reward will be indispensable."

Liu Xun was overjoyed: "In this case, I will thank the general in advance."

Although the banquet was not fully enjoyable due to Jiang Huan's insistence, the banquet with dozens of people lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

"Your Majesty has prepared a bath for all the generals. Not far from here, there is a natural hot spring. The strong breeze from the river is just right to keep you away from the cold."

Jiang Huan waved his hand and once again rejected Liu Xun's arrangement.

"Okay, Governor, don't worry anymore. I will leave a few people and three thousand sergeants to take over this place, and then immediately lead the army to send troops to Wu County."

He accepted Liu Xun's letter of persuasion to surrender written by Wu Commandery, but he did not expect the letter to be effective.

Wu County is a large county in Yangzhou and the most prosperous, and among the many civil servants and generals under the Sun family, many of them have their ancestral roots here, so its status is naturally somewhat special.

Therefore, the governor of Wu County was Sun Ce's uncle, Wu Jing. Although this man was not talented, he was a powerful local nobleman in Wu County and had a high reputation. In addition, his eldest sister married Sun Jian, which made Wu Jing even more popular.

His family is in Wujun, and he responds to hundreds of calls. He is always in the limelight. It is almost impossible to instigate this person to rebel.

However, Jiang Huan was not too worried. The total garrison force of Wu County was only about 30,000, and most of the elites had been transferred away by Sun Jian and Sun Ce, so there was nothing to fear.

Seeing that he was so anxious to leave, Liu Xun's expression became a little strange.

He stopped in front of Jiang Huan and said: "Why should General... be so anxious? This march is not... not in a hurry... this..."

Xu Shu frowned, as if he sensed something was wrong, and said in a somewhat stern tone: "The prefect has repeatedly blocked our army from going on a expedition. Could it be that there is some kind of ambush to harm us?"

Liu Xun was not very courageous at all, so when he was scolded by him, he turned pale with fright.

"This...Xiaguan...How dare you, Xiaguan, it's just...just..."

When Jiang Huan saw him hesitating like this, he suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately shouted: "Come here, capture Liu Xun and keep him under strict guard. When our army returns victorious, we will interrogate him again. Send an order to the whole army to set sail immediately!"

While giving the order, he took Xu Shu, Chen Deng and others and walked quickly to prepare to board the ship.

Liu Xun was so shocked that he could hardly stand. As he was being dragged away, he kept looking towards the river, as if he was eagerly anticipating the arrival of his savior.

Just when Jiang Huan and others were about to step onto the deck of the battleship, they suddenly heard the warning soldiers on the lookout post blowing the warning horn.

"There are enemy ships, there are enemy ships!"

This shout completely confirmed what Jiang Huan and Xu Shu had just guessed. Their expressions changed, and they hurried forward and looked towards the river from a distance.

I saw a group of warships, flying the flag with the character "Sun", coming with the wind, very fast and menacing.

"Okay, okay, okay! I didn't expect Sun Ce's child's dragging technique to be used today."

Jiang Huan quickly figured out everything. All Liu Xun did was to drag Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's naval warships to arrive.

Taishi Ci said coldly: "General, why should you worry? The Sun thieves were defeated in Yuzhou and returned. How can a defeated general defeat our army? If he didn't come, he would be defeated. Now that he is here, it can be decided in one fell swoop."

Qiankun."

"good!"

Jiang Huan was overjoyed: "Ziyi is so brave. You should set an example for the three armies. You will be the vanguard, leading a large ship and eight thousand soldiers to fight against the enemy. I will hold the battle for you."

"The last general takes command!"

The people who were watching the excitement on the shore were frightened by this sudden change and fled in all directions. However, there was only one person hiding in the corner, watching all this with a very proud look on his face. It was Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.

"Hey, if a certain family's first plan is not successful, is there any reason for it to fail?"

Just as he had this thought, Taishi Ci, who was originally filled with murderous intent and preparing his troops for battle, suddenly heard an "Ouch..." coming from behind him.

He instinctively turned his head and saw Jiang Huan, Xu Shu, Chen Deng and others, all holding their stomachs and leaning on the ship's rail, looking very painful.

"General, military advisor, what are you..."
