Chapter 356: The Living Dragon King, Gan Ning.

"Grandmaster, you must not. There are only a few ships in Jiangdong. If the ship is sunk, our Jiangdong Navy will be dead in name only." Lu Xun knelt in front of Zhou Yu with a thunderous sound, begging Zhou Yu not to sink the ship.

Can the navy without a ship be called a navy? These navy troops in Jiangdong can be accumulated bit by bit by bit by Sun Jian. If the ship is sunk, what face will they have to meet King Sun Jian of Wu after their death?

"Hey! Let's give up the boat and protect the soil!"

"If we can't bear to leave these ships, our Eastern Wu will really be destroyed." Zhou Yu sighed and said.

Can Zhou Yu be willing to bear these ships? He can't bear to bear either. Zhou Yu is the governor of the Eastern Wu, and these ships are like his children. Who can be willing to strangle their children with your own hands?

However, for Zhou Yu, he had no other choice. He used the ship to sink the river to block the Liangjiangkou, so that the Qin army's large ship could be blocked outside the Liangjiangkou. In this way, Chanling County would be in a relatively safe position.

"Grandmaster!" Lu Xun wanted to persuade him.

"Don't say too much, execute the order!"

"Except for leaving the Clippers as a means of carrying troops, all the other ships fell to the river." Zhou Yu ordered firmly.

Although Zhou Yu's order was very cruel to the navy, it was the most correct decision. Now, these ships from the Eastern Wu cannot drive out at all. Even if they drive out, they are still the living target of the Qin army.

Moreover, judging from the current battle situation, it is only a matter of time before the Qin army occupied the entire river and moved the battlefield to land. Could it be that Zhou Yu could still order people to resist the ships to land?

Since these ships will not be kept sooner or later, why not sink them to the river now and play the role of these ships.

There is no doubt that Zhou Yu's prestige in Eastern Wu is beyond doubt. It can be said that in the entire Eastern Wu army, Zhou Yu is the only one. Anything that Zhou Yu decides is a veteran like Cheng Pu and Zu Mao, and he dare not say that he is not a word.

Zhou Yu ordered people to sink the river with a ship. Although everyone was reluctant to part, they could only do it. The Eastern Wu navy filled the ship with huge rocks in tears, and then drove the ship to the mouth of the Liangjiang River. A sailor dug a large hole in the hull.

The river water rushes onto the ship "gulp, gurgle", and the ships are full of huge rocks, so the ship sinks quickly.

The shipwreck is a major project. Before the shipwreck, the Wu army had to go to quarry first, and then transport the large stones to the ship. Only then could the ship be driven to the Liangjiangkou to sink the river. Therefore, after all this struggle, it took a full seven or eight days to sink all the remaining ships to Liangjiangkou.

Liangjiangkou is the place where the exchange between the Youjiang River and the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River is the place where the two rivers and the Yangtze Rivers have accumulated a lot of mud and sand over the years. Now Zhou Yu blocked these Liangjiangkou. Now the Liangjiangkou is completely unable to pass the big ships, and now he can only pass some very shallow clutches.

Above the Wu army's water camp, Zhou Yu stood above the water camp and looked at the place where the Qin army camped.

"Zijing, how are the soldiers in Hanzhai transporting them now?" Zhou Yu asked Lu Su.

Lu Su looked at the Grand Commander Zhou Yu and replied softly: "If you go back to the Grand Commander, you have all been transported to Chanling County."

After the shipwreck of Liangjiangkou, Zhou Yu ordered all the troops in Hanzhai to be transported to Chanling County to strengthen the Chanling City Wall.

This is also Zhou Yu was adding another insurance to Dongwu. If the water village could not hold on, if the Qin army was thinking of a way to cross Liangjiangkou, then strengthening the wall of Chanling County in advance can also resist the Qin army for more days.

Zhou Yu had already made plans in his mind, and he led the navy soldiers to defend the water camp to the death. If the nine water camps were lost, he set fire to a water camp to block the Qin army.

With the blockage from Liangjiangkou, in this way, it should be possible to block the Qin army on the river before Liu Bei sent troops.

The Eastern Wu side has its own plans, and the Qin army also has its own plans. Now, the three naval generals, Zheng Chenggong, Qi Jiguang, and Gan Ning, are training the captured Eastern Wu naval army.

The foundation of these Eastern Wu naval troops is quite good. After a rough training, they can even be said to be slightly better than the naval soldiers of the Qin army.

You should know that the water quality of the Eastern Wu naval army is much better than that of the Qin army. The only difference is equipment, discipline and familiarity with the battle formation.

Gan Ning sat on a small boat and looked at the river with bright eyes, as if something was wrong on the river.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Pan Zhang asked at Gan Ning.

After Pan Zhang was named the captain of Zhechong, he could also be said to be full of energy these days.

Gan Ning frowned and said to Pan Zhang: "There is something wrong with this river."

A few days ago, Gan Ning discovered something was wrong on the river. Now it is not the dry season, but Gan Ning feels that the water level on the river has dropped. And it suddenly dropped a few days ago.

In fact, these dropping water levels are insignificant to the depth of the entire Yangtze River, but just a slight change has not been hidden from Gan Ning's eyes. Gan Ning is called a dragon in the water, and no one knows the Yangtze River better than him.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Pan Zhang asked with a confused look on his face.

"I suspect that the Eastern Wu has tampered with it in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River." Gan Ning said to Pan Zhang.

The water level of the Yangtze River has changed, but it is not dry season now, and the weather has not been very hot recently. If this is the case, something must have happened to the upstream.

Now the Eastern Wu is stationed in the upper reaches and the Qin army is stationed in the lower reaches. In this way, only the people in the upper reaches can change the water level.

Although Pan Zhang did not see anything unusual on the river, Pan Zhang believed his elder brother's vision very much.

Let’s put it this way, no matter whether it is the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, or the Huai River, if it were on the rivers of the Han Dynasty, then Gan Ning would be the living dragon king, and there would be nothing he didn’t know about.

"Brother, why are you so sad here? Let's go and report to the King of Qin!" Pan Zhang said to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning took Pan Zhang to find Li Chen. When he saw Li Chen, Gan Ning quickly said, "King Qin, there is a problem on the river now."

"Oh, what's the problem with this river?" Li Chen asked Gan Ning.

"King of Qin, the water level on the river has dropped in the past few days. I suspect that the Wu army has tampered with each other in the upstream." Gan Ning said to Li Chen.

When Li Chen heard this, he didn't dare to delay. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were not ordinary people. No one knew what the hell would think of at this time. Li Chen quickly summoned Liu Bowen, Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong and others to discuss countermeasures.

"King of Qin, it is probably because of the Wu army's shipwrecked and blocked the river."

"We are all big ships, and the draught is quite good. If Dongwu finds a relatively narrow place to sink the ship, we will be blocked here."

After discussing it, everyone basically guessed Zhou Yu’s plan.
