Chapter 381 The Two Rivers Split

,,,,,,,,,,,,

In the Jiangdong Army Water Village, Jiang Gan carried a wooden box on board. Zhou Yu kept sending Jiang Gan on board, and then he bowed: "Please tell Prime Minister Cao that I have fulfilled my promise and hope that he will keep his word."

"Don't worry, Gongjin, as the prime minister, he will not speak without trust."

With the long oar pushed, the boat slid and headed towards the gate of the water village. Jiang Gan's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh softly. Could it be that he could exchange Huang Gai back?

"Governor, Cao Cao is known for his treacherousness. Will he keep his promise and release others?" Shi Ci asked worriedly next to him.

Lu Su smiled, "General Huang is very important to us, but he is not important to Cao Cao. Letting General Huang come back can disrupt the situation even more. I think Cao Cao will release people."

"Good saying it's right"

Zhou Yu instructed Shi Ci again: "Everyone will work harder tonight and make things worse, so that Cao Cao will release others even more."

"Please rest assured, the humble position will handle it."

.........

The Jiangxia Army and the Jiangdong Army were actually in the same camp. The two armies were separated by a simple camp. Usually, the two armies did not interact with each other. Only some soldiers would occasionally trade some things through the fence.

At the first update, the Jiangxia army in Yingzha suddenly became turbulent. Several troops were holding torches in their hands, and led by generals Wei Yan and Liu Hu toward Yingzha with great momentum.

"Suppose the camp for me," Liu Hu said loudly.

Although the soldiers felt something was wrong, they still faithfully carried out his orders and overthrew the camp with all their might. At this time, the Jiangdong Army's patrol came and stopped the Jiangxia soldiers who were about to rush towards the Jiangdong Army camp.

"Don't do it randomly"

The patrol commander shouted to the Jiangxia soldiers, while his subordinates formed a wall of people. Seeing that the situation was not good, he secretly sent someone to report to the governor.

At this time, Liu Hu ordered: "Call me."

Several Jiangxia soldiers rushed up and fought with Yuzhangshou. In the chaos, someone threw a torch on a large tent, and immediately ignited the tent. The flames soared into the sky, making the scene even more chaotic.

At this time, the Jiangdong patrol began to use swords, and many Jiangxia soldiers were cut and screamed one after another. Liu Hu was furious and rushed into the crowd with iron rods and hit the patrol soldiers in the face.

Several other large tents were lit, and countless Jiangdong soldiers and Jiangxia soldiers rushed over when they heard the news. Seeing the fierce and bloody battle between the two sides, people continued to join the battle group, causing the situation to continue to expand. The fire took advantage of the wind and spread rapidly. More than a dozen large tents were lit, and the fire was connected, and the fires soared into the sky, and thousands of soldiers shouted to put out the fire.

At this moment, Jiangdong General Lu Meng urged his horse to come and shouted: "Stop it all."

Seeing that the quarrel was almost the same, Wei Yan shouted: "Stop it."

With the stern scolding of the generals on both sides, the fierce battle finally ended. A wounded soldier lay on the ground, in pain, and more than a dozen soldiers were seriously injured and worried about their lives.

Seeing that the Jiangdong soldiers were seriously injured, Lu Meng couldn't help but be furious. He pointed at Wei Yan with a whip and shouted: "My surname is Wei, you want to give me an explanation."

Wei Yan snorted coldly, stepped forward and said loudly: "Of course I want to give you an explanation. Shi Ci killed Jiangxia general Ma Yan, and he was guilty of great evil. Hand over the murderer for me."

Lu Meng didn't know about this. He was shocked when he heard that General Jiangxia was killed, but he still said without showing any weakness: "General Wei, this is not a trivial matter. Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, you should report to the provincial governor and sit down and discuss solutions, instead of adding fuel to the fire like this now and making things bigger."

Liu Hu suddenly shouted, "Old Wei, what nonsense do you say to him? If they don't hand over Shi Ci today, we will go into the camp and burn their camp."

As soon as Liu Hu finished speaking, someone sneered, "Jiang Xiajun is very powerful, so if you have the guts, just burn it."

A large group of soldiers surrounded Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Navy, walked up. At this time, the fire had been extinguished, nearly ten large tents were burned, and more than 70 people were killed or injured. Zhou Yu saw the mess on the ground, and couldn't help but glared at Jiangxia's army, "You're too much."

Wei Yan said in a deep voice: "Governor Zhou, you are killing first. Shi Ci killed my general Ma Yan. You must give Jiangxia army an explanation, otherwise, it is unlikely that our two armies will continue to cooperate."

"Who are you who dares to say such things?" Zhou Yu sneered.

"General Wei's words are mine." Liu Jing's voice came from afar, and Liu Jing walked quickly surrounded by several soldiers.

Liu Jing stepped forward and said coldly: "Governor Zhou, you and I know very well. What happened is that I advise you to think about the overall situation and hand over Shi Ci, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by the Jiangdong Army."

Zhou Yu and Liu Jing's eyes met, and the two had a tacit understanding in their hearts. The time for the show was ripe. Zhou Yu's face changed drastically, "Liu Zhoumu, what do you mean?"

"Governor Zhou, do you have to tell me what's going on?"

Liu Jing's voice became stern, and he stared at Zhou Yu with bright eyes, "Do you want me to tell me that you killed my general in order to exchange for Huang Gai?"

There was an uproar around, and Jiangxia soldiers were angry, "handing over the murderer" countless soldiers were shouting angrily.

"Did you hear it?"

Liu Jing continued to force Zhou Yu, "This is my soldiers shouting, it is the voice of Jiang Xiajun. I will give you a day. You must hand over Shi Ci, otherwise you don't blame me for turning against you."

Zhou Yu snorted heavily, turned around and left. The soldiers of Jiangdong retreated one after another, fearing that Liu Jing would attack and kill people. At this time, Liu Jing shouted to the surrounding Jiangxia soldiers: "I will continue to force the Jiangdong army to hand over the murderer, but I am not allowed to attack the Jiangdong military camp again. Those who violate the order will be killed."

Liu Jing also turned back to the tent, Wei Yan waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers: "The governor of the state has an order, we must not disobey, and put the camp gate back up."

This was a doomed sleepless night. Both military camps were sensational. The news spread throughout the Jiangdong Army and Jiangxia Army. During the spread, things could not help but exaggerate, saying that there was a bloody conflict between the two armies, thousands of people participated in the war and several people died.

...........

In the Cao Jun water camp on the other side of the Yangtze River, Cao Cao stood on the big ship with his hands behind his back, looking at the other side more than ten miles away. He saw a faint light of fire, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If he was not wrong, it should be that the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxia Army had a bloody conflict.

Jiang Gan had reported to him that Liu Jing wanted to transfer Ma Yan to Wuchang secretly, but Zhou Yu guessed in advance that he sent Shi Ci to half-intercept Ma Yan. In this way, how could Liu Jing give up? Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain to his subordinates that it would be inevitable to attack Jiangdong Army. Even if the situation did not escalate, the Jiangdong Army would also require the murderer to hand over.

Cao Cao could imagine the attitude of both sides. He sneered and turned around and said, "Let Cai He come to see me."

Since Cai He captured Huang Gai, he has been highly valued by Cao Cao and has been promoted to the naval commander of the navy and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. His real power has exceeded that of the nominal naval general Zhang Yun.

Cai He hurried over and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Meet the Prime Minister"

Cao Cao smiled and said gently: "I really want to know the situation of the Jiangdong Army. He will catch a few Jiangdong Army patrols for me and go back tomorrow morning."

"Abide by the orders of humble duties"

Cai He hurried away, and Cao Cao turned around and ordered Yu Jin, "Let Huang Gai go, let him go now."

Cheng Yu next to him hurriedly said, "Does the Prime Minister really want to release Huang Gai?"

"Huang Gai is not Sun Quan. What's the use of him to me? Since I have already agreed, I don't have to regret it anymore. Putting Huang Gai will only make them more conflicted, so why not do it?"

"Prime Minister's High Perspective"

Cao Cao smiled slightly, "Zhongde just says anything, don't praise him indifferently."

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. The Prime Minister knew him. He pondered for a moment and said, "I am just a little worried about Liu Jing. This person is both wise and brave. He is our strong enemy. The Prime Minister should be careful."

"Haha, I admit that there are extraordinary things about this, but he can't help but have some things. Even if he wants to take the overall situation into consideration, he must give an explanation to the soldiers. Moreover, Zhou Yu killed his generals, which also wiped out his face. From the last time he used me to teach the Jiangdong Army, I knew this person's weakness. He had a strong leadership and was determined to control the Jiangdong Army. This would definitely become the root of the division between the two armies."

After saying that, Cao Cao walked towards the camp with brisk steps. It was already updated. He had not had a good rest these days and could finally have a good sleep.

...........

The next morning, another explosive news quickly spread in the Jiangdong military camp. The Jiangxia army patrol detained fifty grain transport ships of the Jiangdong army coming from Zhucheng, and the ships sailed into the Jiangxia army's water camp.

Soon after, the deputy governor Lu Su who went to negotiate came back to report, "The Jiangxia army demanded that Shi Ci be handed over for the grain ship."

For this reason, Zhou Yu urgently summoned the generals in the central army's tent to discuss countermeasures. At this time, Huang Gai had been replaced. He sat silently under the head coach's seat without saying a word. His existence in the tent was a sign, and he declared to everyone that he had returned and that the Jiangdong Army would no longer have any bonds.

In fact, this is a hint that Zhou Yu gave to everyone. Jiangdong Army would never give in to Huang Gai's matter.

"What do you think of"

Zhou Yu looked around everyone calmly, "The Jiangdong Army is forcing us to hand over someone, and even threatened with cutting off military rations. I want to ask everyone to make a decision for me, what should we do?"

Zhou Yu is the chief commander-in-chief of the navy, and he made all the major decisions of the Jiangdong Army. Now that he asked everyone to help him make a decision, this decision must be in a dilemma. What will it do?

Only one decision would make him embarrassed, that is, withdrawing his troops. He could not explain to the Marquis of Wu, but if everyone asked together, that would be another matter.

All the generals knew this. Lu Meng was the first to stand up and salute and said, "Governor, Kong said, "The Tao is different and does not plan for each other. Since we cannot get together with the Jiangxia army, then we will act on our own. I suggest retreating and returning to Zhucheng."

"Why withdraw to Zhucheng"

Zhou Tai said dissatisfied: "Isn't it better for us to withdraw from Jiangdong? Let him go strong with Jiangxia army. Isn't Liu Jing very powerful? Then let them deal with Cao army by themselves, what does it have to do with us?"

Everyone in the tent whispered, most of them agreed with Zhou Tai's idea. At this time, Huang Gai, who had been silent, said: "Everyone, listen to the governor's opinion."

The big tent became quiet again, and Zhou Yu said slowly: "We need dignity, so we must leave, but we also have to give Wu Hou an explanation. Although we are dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Jiangxia army and are unwilling to cooperate with each other, if we withdraw our troops rashly back to Jiangdong, Wu Hou will be called a dishonest. Therefore, I agree with General Lu Meng's suggestion and withdraw our troops to Zhucheng, so that the Jiangxia army will not be able to catch our handle."

All the generals bowed and bowed, "I wish to listen to the arrangements of the governor."

"Very good, then everyone goes back to pack up their belongings. After two hours, we set off and leave Chibi."

The Jiangxia army did not try to keep the Jiangdong army. In the afternoon, several warships of the Jiangdong army sailed out of the water camp, went down the river, and headed towards Zhucheng.

On a large ship, Liu Jing stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the Jiangdong Army silently. If there were any loopholes in his series of plans, or something that he could not grasp, it was the Jiangdong Army.

Although the Jiangdong Army pursued retreat as an advance, if Zhou Yu had the courage to watch the two strong fight and finally came to collect profits, then Liu Jing had no way to do anything. The question is, does Zhou Yu have such great courage?
