While Wang Yong was busy preparing for the special exam and entering the palace to teach Liu Feng, the Jingzhou navy began to dispatch from Jiangling and was about to enter the area of ​​Dongting Lake.

"It's okay if it's cloudy, it's still so foggy early in the morning!" Cai Mao looked at the thick fog on the river and was very dissatisfied. In such thick fog weather, he couldn't figure out the direction.

"Entering Dongting Lake also means entering Changsha County. Do you have to stop and replenish some supplies?" Zhang Yun was next to Cai Mao. He was Liu Biao's nephew, but Cai was Liu Biao's successor. In order to avoid suspicion, he had to stand farther, but the two were also close.

"Take the opportunity to rest and wait until the fog is clear, and then go upstream and strive to arrive at Xiakou as soon as possible!" Cai Mao thought for a while and replied, "By the way, find someone to send a letter to Gan Ning and see where she is. It should also be near Xiakou... Don't let her wait too long in Xiakou, after all, her relationship with Huang Zu is not very good."

When she was like this, Zhang Yun immediately understood. When Liu Biao recruited Gan Ning, he couldn't stand her jumping out of the way, so he had to arrange to go to Xiakou. In fact, he also hoped to use the Jinfan army to deal with the thieves in the Yangtze River, especially Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.

But who knew that when Gan Ning went there, Huang Zu actually fell in love with her and wanted to marry her as a successor. The two of them were just having a quarrel. At this time, Cao Cao threw out an olive branch, and Gan Ning actually ran to Cao Cao without saying a word.

As a result, the people shined brilliantly in Hebei and showed the prestige of the imperial navy. Without Gan Ning's tireless harassment of Yuan Shao, I am afraid that before Cao Cao developed, Yuan Shao had already gone south. At least, in the eyes of many people, Gan Ning's navy actually had indispensable achievements in the Battle of Guandu!

"No matter what, my uncle... the governor is the governor of the court, Gan Ning is the naval general of the court, and everyone is a colleague, so we must get along with each other in a friendly manner." Zhang Yun said with a smile.

"Indeed, I don't know how Qi'er is doing in Xudu..." Cai Mao was a little worried. Although Liu Qi was not as good as Liu Cong, and was her and Liu Biao's biological daughter, he was Liu Biao's son or eldest son, so he still had to care about it as a Xuxian. Two years ago, Liu Qi was sent to Xudu to be an official, and he didn't know how he was in good health.

It is not a reincarnation, but its physique is weaker than that of ordinary people, but it is still alone.

"After all, I am a royal family member. I have given so much money to buy a house and I will not suffer any loss with so many servants." Zhang Yun comforted. From his wife's perspective, Cai did indeed do it well, and he was convinced.

"General! There is a fleet approaching our flank!" At this moment, soldiers reported.

Originally, in order to rest, the army was docking towards the south of Dongting Lake, intending to take the opportunity to rest and rest and replenish supplies. As a result, a fleet came from the side, and it was definitely not the fleet coming from behind, but only the fleet that was flowing upstream from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River!

"Is it the Ganning Navy? Which company is the banner?" Cai Mao frowned, and his sixth sense told her that the situation was wrong. In such heavy fog weather, if you can see it, it must be very close.

"I can't see clearly, the fog is too thick, and the other party has not uttered a flag. I guess it is not a friendly army!" the soldier replied.

"Come on the fight!" Cai Mao did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered the fight. "Go out to fight and test the opponent's feet!"

After hundreds of boats following the army were ordered, they immediately surrounded them. The soldiers on the ship were ready for battle, and then they approached the other party's fleet little by little. The key point was to confirm their identity.

At this moment, the opponent's Clippers quickly approached, and then a large number of rockets shot towards the Walking Boat.

"Avoid!" the officer shouted, and he quickly avoided the boats. There were still many strokes hitting arrows. The ship was ignited, but fortunately it was extinguished soon.

"General!" Aizhuo saw the other party's flag clearly, so he quickly returned to the other side of the flagship. "The other party's ship was hung with the Zhou flag, which was Zhou Yu's Chaisang Shui Army!"

"I actually went upstream and sniped us? Haha, let them see the power of our Jingzhou navy!" Cai Mao was not afraid at all because the other party's fleet was not large.

But at this moment, after the opponent shot a wave, he quickly turned around and left without any intention of confronting him head-on.

"If we beat us, we will leave? Chase!" Cai Mao immediately ordered the pursuit, and the flag bearer immediately sent an order to chase the ship, and the fleet quickly chased. Everyone's speed was about the same, and the other party was close and separated, and he felt that he could catch up at any time.

However, no one expected that another fleet came from another place to fight from the rear of the Jingzhou naval army. It turned out that Zhou Yu had expected heavy fog during this period, so he ambushed the troops in Dongting Lake in advance. With the help of some of the naval army to attract Cai Mao's attention, the main force attacked from the rear.

For a moment, the other party's walking boat and the Clippers were already in front, and there were already flagships and a few small warships behind them. Zhou Yu suddenly broke out with a siege, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers on the Clippers jumped into the water with chisels and hammers and swam towards the flagship.

Chiseling is not just a place to start. The hammer is not easy to exert force underwater, so you need to use a chisel to fix it on the gap of the wooden board and then use a hammer to punch it in. As long as the chisel is inserted, then knock it with a slant force, the wooden board will crack and break, and the hole will be broken!

"Someone is chiseling a boat!" A shout came from the cabin, but the soldiers had no choice. If they stabbed in with a spear, the holes that must not be cracked were larger than those that the other party had chiseled out. They could only stab in with the tip of the gun at the moment the other party was chiseled to see if they could stab it to death.

The trick of chiseling is too sinister and it is not easy to fight against it. If you are not good at destroying your own ship, you will have to. Fortunately, most of the people who can truly carry out the chiseling operation are elite, with more than a hundred people in front and behind, killing one less.

After working hard for more than half an hour, I finally forced the other party to retreat, especially the soldiers above. When they saw a water ghost showing their heads, they shot several arrows directly. The other party chiseled a few times, and they had to come up to breathe. At this time, they would shoot!

"Retreat!" Seeing Cai Mao turning around and attacking, Jiang Qin smiled and announced his retreat.

The main force did not come, after all, we had to be on guard against Gan Ning. The two side troops came over and even brought all the water ghosts. Depending on the situation, the goal was already achieved!

Cai Mao chased Jiang Qin, but the latter quickly escaped into the fog. This evaporating fog will not dissipate in the cold weather, unless the weather clears up and the temperature will only dissipate. Jiang Qin was originally active in this area and used to rely on the fog to tease the Jingzhou navy, so he quickly used his own means to find the correct channel, return along the way, and according to Zhou Yu's wishes, he went to Lukou to camp.

This is not just a camp, but also a stop to the other side here. The Jingzhou navy wants to join the Ganning tribe and the Yangzhou legion, so the first thing to do is to break through the Lukou defense line.

The key is that Lukou is in Jiang Qin's hands, so the other party can't march into Chaisang by land. The only choice is water battle!

"Send this letter to Gan Ning!" Zhou Yu had already written a letter and ordered her confidant to send it out.
