Cai Mao looked at Peng Lize who was endless in front of him, and his mind was refreshed.

"Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, with some inequality, our army has been hurt a lot. Now that we are here in Pengli Ze, the navy of the two sides confronts head-on. I see what you have to deal with."

He was extremely confident in his ability to fight water, and immediately ordered the fleet to head straight towards Chaisang City.

However, after they walked for a while, there was still no one around the lake, which made Cai Mao's heart feel angry again.

"Although there is no navy in Jiangdong, I heard that Zhou Yu had trained two or three thousand sailors, why didn't they come out to fight? Even the quizzes that were inquiring about our army's whereabouts were missing?"

"Report..."

A boatman rushed over and arrived in front of Cai Mao's building, a soldier said, "General, there is a Jiangdong Water Village in front of him. There are neither flags nor soldiers patrol in the village."

Cai Mao became even more suspicious now.

Zhang Yun said in confusion: "What's the idea of ​​this Huangkouzi?"

Another general said: "I think Zhou Yu must be a person who can only play tricks. Now that he sees that our army has reached the city, he is naturally frightened, so he abandons the city and flees."

"Well, it's reasonable, it must be."

"Yes, General Cai's reputation is not known to the place of Jing and Yang. Who doesn't know? Zhou Yu is not tired of being tired and dares to fight with the general, which is reasonable."

The generals' words made Cai Mao feel that this was indeed the case, which was reasonable.

However, he was still a little worried and said to a general: "Take a thousand people to inquire. There are indeed no traps and ambushers in Ruozhai, and then send someone to report back and forth."

"Here." The general took the order and immediately set off with a ship and several ships.

Soon, a boatman, Joe, drove back: "General, there was indeed no one in the water village, and the village was messy, with equipment and food, and there were more than ten boatmans and two boats, with oars and sails, but they were all empty, and the parking was extremely disorderly, as if they were abandoned here in a hurry."

"It turns out that he abandoned the village and ran away." The generals were very happy, but Zhang Yun was a little unwilling.

"I actually let Zhou Yu escape, which is annoying..."

Cai Mao said, "Since that's the case, our army will set out. However, Zhou Yu has many tricks. In order to prevent accidents, our army divided into three groups. This general led 3,000 troops into the water camp. Zhang Yun, you lead 2,000 people to Chaisang City, Huang Zu, you lead the remaining troops to rest somewhere between the water camp and Chaisang City. After discovering the enemy's movements, you will make plans. Remember, no matter day and night, water camps, you must patrol continuously, and you must not take it lightly."

"I will obey the order."

Cai Mao led a fleet of ships and soon arrived at the gate of the water village. The previous general had already been waiting here.

"The last general welcomes General Cai."

The fleet slowly sailed into it, and Cai Mao looked at the water camp carefully and nodded frequently.

"Zhou Yu is a talented person this time. The water camp is arranged here, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and both offense and defense. Although it is not a good work, it is also excellent. If this person is my general in Jingzhou, I should promote it well and use it more, and I will become a great player in the future."

The general beside him sneered: "It's a pity that he overestimated himself. He would be ignorant of his life and death to be an enemy of General Cai."

Cai Mao's face suddenly showed a gloomy when he heard this.

"Let's go, take this general to check the equipment and food left by the rats in Jiangdong."

The general was very proud: "General, please. Those incompetent people, who were just here in the water camp, gave our army 30,000 stones of food and grass and more than a thousand deputy weapons. I am afraid that there will be more in Chaisang City. If you have this harvest, the lord will reward the general with great rewards."

He took Cai Mao all the way to the place where the food and grass were stored in the village. After opening the treasury gate, a smell of rice came to his face.

"Um……"

Cai Mao took a hard breath: "It's actually the Xingu harvested last year, so Sun Ce is willing to do so."

"The general is really powerful. He only heard the previous one from afar and knew when the millet was produced in the year. I was very impressed by it."

The general took the opportunity to flatter.

Cai Mao stepped forward and stabbed a bag of food with a sword. The rice inside fell out instantly.

"Haha, okay. These rice grains are full, even in the place of Jingzhou, and are very rare among the military rations. Let me continue to give up the porridge tonight and use white rice instead."

"Thank you, General." Everyone hurriedly thanked.

Although Jingzhou is rich, the army can only eat a meal of white rice during the day when it is out of war. The rest are porridge and coarse grain cakes to fill the stomach. But how can porridge be more delicious than white rice?

Soon, Zhang Yun's messenger rushed from Chaisang City.

"Reported to General Cai, there was no enemy in the city of Chaisang. The city tower was covered with broken armor and broken flagpoles. I asked the people in the city and said that about two hours ago, the defenders hurriedly evacuated and were not enough to clean up, and they were extremely panicked. There were still more than 50,000 stones of food and grass and more than 7,000 deputy armour in the city."

"Zhou Yu's son, it's true that he is running away." Cai Mao had no doubts any more.

"I'm sending orders to the three armies to rest tonight and set off tomorrow. Go to Yuzhang first and then seize Lujiang. After making achievements, everyone will be rewarded."

Soon, night fell, and everyone in the Jingzhou navy was happy and the morale was high. It was either in the city or in the water village, and it was a festive atmosphere.

"Come on, drink..."

Cai Mao and all the generals came to Chaisang City, and had a banquet with the prefect's mansion, orchestrastied silk and bamboo, and bells and cauldrons. It was so happy.

"This time, our army won a great victory. Not only did we capture Chaisang in one fell swoop, but we also won 80,000 stones of grain and grass and nearly 10,000 deputy armour. The gains were so generous that when the general learned about it, he would definitely promote General Cai."

"Yes, I hope General Cai won't forget General Mo and others at that time."

"Come on, let's wait and respect the general."

The generals raised the wine bottle together, and Cai Mao was also very happy. He didn't care about wiping away the wine dripping from his beard, so he picked up his wine bottle and drank it against everyone.

"Ha... good wine, good wine. Although Sun Jian's marching and fighting were average, the food and wine in the city were really good. It's a pity that we were cheap and waited for nothing, haha."

"General said it well. Wait until we have a drink tonight. Tomorrow we will follow the general, plow Yangzhou and clear Jiangdong. With such great achievements in hand, I am afraid that Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren may not be able to defeat you."

These words made Cai Mao's eyes shine and his heart lit up. He thought that when he was under Liu Biao, he could be said to be inferior to ten thousand people. If it weren't for Liu Biao being bewitched by Liu Yu and demoted himself to the city gate captain, he wouldn't have surrendered to Cao Cao, who had only one state and half of the power.

Now that he has become a member of the Cao army, with Cai Mao's ambition, he is naturally unwilling to surrender to the Xiahou Cao. Now this great opportunity is right in front of him, so he can't help but be excited.

"Report..."

Everyone was having fun, but there was a hurrying voice that interrupted the generals' interest.

Cai Mao's face turned black and was about to be scolded, a young man knelt at the door: "Report to General, Zhou Yu suddenly led a naval fleet and appeared outside our water camp."

"What, he dares to come back?" Cai Mao was surprised.

Zhang Yun hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?"

"Return to the general, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is difficult to see clearly. However, there is one building boat, five driving ships, and more than fifty or sixty passing by."

"Hiss...How is this possible? When did such a large-scale navy appear in Jiangdong?"

Zhang Yun was shocked and could not believe it at all.

A tower ship can take at least two thousand people, three or four hundred people on board, and more than a dozen or twenty people on board. According to this calculation, the Jiangdong Navy also has at least five or six thousand people.

Cai Mao sneered, "What can I do if there are five or six thousand people? My Jingzhou navy still has 10,000 troops and horses, and the profits of ships are even more powerful than Jiangdong. What are you afraid of? This kind of children thought that this method of attacking a night could beat our army, but they didn't know that it was actually a way to kill. The generals obeyed the orders and followed me to go to the water camp to meet the enemy, capture Zhou Yu alive, and control Pengli, just tonight."
