Suddenly, the drums sounded loudly outside the south gate, and fires soared into the sky. An ambush came out from outside the south gate. In the fire, it was Zhao Yun, the general.

Zhao Yun waved his spear and shouted: "Zhao Long in Changshan is here, and those who surrender are exempt from death."

The Jiangdong Army was in chaos. The army was in a state of chaos, but it was even more chaotic at this time. Everyone rushed to flee. Lu Meng shouted loudly, "Stop, fight in line."

No matter how he shouted, it still had no effect.

At this time, Zhao Yun pointed his spear and "kill"

A thousand Jingzhou troops rushed forward, and the Jiangdong army suffered heavy casualties, cried and wailed, and countless surrendered people. In the chaos, Lu Xun dared not fight, so he rushed out of blood and led the remaining remaining troops to flee east.

Lu Meng and more than 20 personal soldiers were surrounded by the rest of the people and could not break through left and right. In addition, Lu Meng was injured in his arm and could not fight. At this time, more than a dozen personal soldiers fought to death and opened a gap, shouting: "General, go quickly."

Lu Meng urged the horse to break out of the gap. At this moment, Zhao Yun rushed from behind, but he did not attack Lu Meng from behind. The two horses intertwined. Zhao Yun gently stretched out his ape arm, grabbed Lu Meng's bracelet, pulled him off the war horse, and shouted: "Tie."

Several soldiers rushed forward, held Lu Meng down, and tied them up with ropes.

The main general was captured alive, and the Jiangdong army was attacked and fled, so they had to kneel down and surrender. In this battle, only a few soldiers from Qianjiangdong escaped, more than five people were killed or injured, and the rest of the soldiers surrendered. Even the main general Lu Meng was captured alive by Zhao Yun.

.........

Overnight, Chaisang City changed its ownership, and teams of soldiers from Jingzhou investigated the empty city. By dawn, there were also soldiers from Jiangdong hiding in their houses.

In an empty room, Lu Meng sat on the wooden couch and was treated for his injuries without saying a word by the military doctor. There were more than a dozen soldiers guarding him standing around.

Lu Meng was depressed at this time. Not only was he lost in Chaisang City, but he was also captured by the enemy for the first time. Even if the Marquis of Wu rescued him, how could he gain a foothold in Dongwu in the future.

The key to the capture of Chaisang this time was that the Jingzhou army was in harmony with each other, not that Lu Meng was not in a weak defense, but Lu Meng was always puzzled in his heart, how did the Jingzhou army sneak into the city.

Could it be that a certain section of the city wall was not patrolled effectively and the Jingzhou army seized the opportunity, but it was impossible to think about it. The city wall was more than two meters high and surrounded by a moat. How could it be possible if more than one person came to the city? Lu Mengsi couldn't understand it.

At this time, footsteps came, and Liu Jing and several officers appeared at the door. Liu Jing walked into the room, bowed and smiled, "It turns out that you are Wu Xia Ameng, I have been keen on for a long time."

Lu Meng felt that this person looked familiar and stared at Liu Jing. He suddenly remembered that this person was the young general who stabbed him last night. He sneered, "Who are you?"

"Let's go to Liu Jing." Liu Jing responded with a smile.

"So you are..."

It turned out that it was Liu Jing who actually sneaked into the city himself. Lu Meng thought to himself, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Liu Jing's courage.

"What do you want to do to me?"

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "Actually, I hope you can surrender to me."

"Hmph" Lu Meng snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcastic smile on his face and said, "Do you think I will surrender to you?"

Liu Jing bowed sincerely, "Ming is from Runan, not from Wuzhong, and there is no burden from his family in Wuzhong. This is the first time I persuade people to surrender. I hope Ming can consider it carefully."

Seeing that Liu Jing was quite sincere, Lu Meng also put away his sarcasm and shook his head and said, "I appreciate Gong Jing's sincerity, but I wish I could say frankly that Gong Jing is just the lord of a county. There is no capital that has touched me, Lu Meng. For both public and private, I cannot give up the Marquis of Wu and surrender to you."

Liu Jing certainly knew that Lu Meng would not surrender to him, but he wanted to test Lu Meng's intentions and smiled and said, "If I, Liu Jing, also became a prince, can I consider it?"

Lu Meng pondered for a moment and said, "If I, Lu Mengci, were captured by Gong Jing and treated with kindness and righteousness, I will surrender to you."

Liu Jing laughed and said to his left and right: "Give him the war horse back and let him go."

Wang Tai, behind him, was very anxious and said quickly: "Sima, keep him to negotiate with Sun Quan, and don't be fooled by his cunning words."

Liu Jing shook his head, "I know what I know, let him go."

Lu Meng was shocked, "Does Jing Gong really want to let me go?"

Liu Jing looked into his eyes and said slowly: "I respect you as a man with a promise. I, Liu Jing, will not use you as a negotiation condition, please leave."

Lu Meng was moved and gave a deep bow, "Your kindness will be repayed by the queen, Lu Meng said goodbye"

Several soldiers sent Lu Meng away. Liu Jing looked at Lu Meng away with his hands behind his back, his lips bent, he smiled calmly, and said to himself in a low voice: "Sun Quan, I hope you can receive this favor."

.........

The confrontation between the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army has entered the seventh day. Cai Mao led 20,000 troops and more than four warships set up a water camp next to the river entrance of the Han River. Huang Zu's 15,000 people and nearly five large and small warships were west of Xiakou, and the two armies were ten miles apart.

And right among the two armies, there was the main force of the 50,000 naval forces of the Jiangdong Army and more than 1,55 warships, and neither side dared to act rashly.

Early that morning, fog covered the river. A small boat approached Sun Quan's Qianshi Tower ship. A soft ladder was thrown from the big boat. Zhou Yu and several entourages climbed the soft ladder onto the big boat. According to the deployment of the Jiangdong Army, Zhou Yu led 15,000 troops and warships to monitor Cai Mao's army, while Sun Quan was responsible for dealing with Huang Zu.

Zhou Yu got on the big ship and walked quickly towards the middle cabin. Sun Quan sent someone to find him just now, and he was quite anxious. Zhou Yu didn't know what happened, so he rushed over.

In the cabin, Sun Quan stood in front of the small window with his hands behind his hands, staring at the foggy river surface. Some fog floated in the room, making the wall of the ship full of dew and become a little wet. Sun Quan seemed very heavy. He had just received the news that Liu Jing succeeded in attacking Chaisang at night and occupied Chaisang again.

This news was a heavy blow to Sun Quan. He realized that he had made a mistake and should concentrate his troops to wipe out Liu Jing first, and then deal with Huang Zu. Anyway, Huang Zu would not rescue Liu Jing, so he could deal with it calmly. It's a pity that he valued Huang Zu too much and despised Liu Jing, which caused the fire in the backyard, which made him regret it too late.

At this time, Zhou Yu's voice came from outside the cabin, "Wu Hou, can I enter the house?"

"Come in"

Zhou Yu quickly walked into the boat warehouse, knelt down on one knee and bowed, "See Wu Hou"

After a while, Sun Quan sighed, "Gongjin, I regret not not listening to your advice and let Liu Jing go. Now that Chaisang is taken back by Liu Jing, Lu Meng is captured, it is too late to regret it."

Zhou Yu was shocked and asked after a long time, "When did this happen?"

"Just a day ago, there is a fire in my backyard now, what should I do?" Sun Quan couldn't help sighing again, and he was indeed regretful.

At first, Zhou Yu advised him to attack Xiazhi County and Yangxin County, completely relieve his worries and then go north, but Sun Quan always insisted on destroying Huang Zu before the reinforcements in Xiangyang arrived, and then turn back to deal with Liu Jing, and refused to obey Zhou Yu and Lu Meng's advice.

In fact, Zhou Yu knew in his heart that the reason why Wu Hou did not attack Liu Jing in time was because Wu Hou had a slight affection for Liu Jing and was unwilling to kill Liu Jing. This was the real reason. Although he understood in his heart, Zhou Yu could not say it out.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yu said, "Actually, Wu Hou doesn't have to worry. Although Liu Jing occupied Chaisang, he will inevitably be eager to move the military and civilians of Chaisang and his money and grain back. He has no time to take care of Wuchang for the time being. Moreover, his troops and warships are limited, so we cannot conquer Wuchang. Therefore, we don't have to rush to deal with Liu Jing, but we should concentrate our troops to defeat the enemy. As long as we completely wipe out Huang Zu and defeat Cai Mao, we can turn back and calmly deal with Liu Jing, Wu Hou, and Bei Zhi think that it is completely time."

Sun Quan frowned, "We have been confronting the enemy for seven days, Gongjin can have a plan to defeat the enemy."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you defeat me. I have known Cai Mao's army so much in the past few days. It will be tonight if I defeat the enemy."

Sun Quan was overjoyed, "Defeat Cai Mao, Huang Zu was over. I ordered Huang Gai to lead 10,000 troops westwards, cut off Huang Zu from fleeing, and hope to hear the good news tonight."

.........

At night, just after the hour of the 19th, the Jingzhou reinforcements were replaced by Cai Zhong, the brother of Cai Mao clan, tonight. Although Cai Zhong had not made any achievements in the Battle of Xinye, he was still rewarded with the crowd and has now been promoted to Sima of another department.

But Cai Zhong himself was not satisfied. His target was the captain of the Northern Shui Army. After Zhang Yun was demoted, the position of the Northern Shui Army Captain was vacant, which made many people jealous.

Cai Zhong was also the deputy lieutenant of the navy. If he had not been defeated by Gan Ning, he would have taken over the post of the navy lieutenant. Cai Zhong always believed that the navy lieutenant was his position and no one could take it away again.

But despite thinking this way, if he had no achievements, Liu Biao would not have been promoted to his post. Therefore, Cai Zhong held back his strength to support Jiangxia this time. He vowed to make great contributions and be promoted to the lieutenant directly.

Cai Zhong sat in the water camp and drank tea in one mouthful. Although he wanted to drink a few glasses of wine, Cai Mao was very strict in governing the army and was strictly prohibited during the war, and Cai Zhong did not dare to violate the ban.

At this time, a soldier rushed over and reported urgently: "Report to the general, the patrol found Sun Quan's ship, and took advantage of the fog to cover us and peek at our army's water camp."

Cai Zhongteng stood up and asked anxiously: "Maybe it is sure it is Sun Quan's ship."

"It must be that there is a Wu Hou flag on the ship, and there are only four warships guarding it."

Cai Zhongzhong was excited. If Sun Quan could be captured, it would be a huge achievement. He would be promoted to lieutenant. Cai Zhong immediately ordered his left and right and said, "You must not tell the military advisor this matter."

He was eager to make contributions and was afraid that Cai Mao would stop his achievements, so he led more than 40 large ships at night, including more than a thousand people, out of the water camp and surrounded Sun Quan's ship.

At this time, Sun Quan's ship seemed to have noticed the threat and turned around and fled south. Cai Zhong smiled grimly and shouted loudly: "Don't let the big ship go, chase me."
