Chapter 346(2/2)
But if this flood was not caused, perhaps in three years, the Ma Butcher could build a huge naval army with the manpower of the two counties of Lujiang and Huainan (some of the Jianghuai are familiar with water) and the strong material and financial resources of the twelve prefectures under his rule.
With Zhou Yu’s understanding of Ma Butcher, he firmly believed that the huge general of this navy army was beyond anyone’s imagination!
Even if this Xiliang naval army is not as good as the elite of the Eastern Wu naval army and is not as good as the Eastern Wu naval army, many ants can bite the elephant to death! Let’s take a step back, even if this huge Xiliang naval army cannot defeat the Eastern Wu naval army, it is more than enough to escort hundreds of thousands of Western Liang iron armor across the Yangtze River. Once hundreds of thousands of Western Liang iron armors cross the Yangtze River, what should the Wu army use to resist?
"Report..."
Just as Zhou Yu was about to look at the turbid water, a general rushed to the deck from the stairs and knelt down and shouted to Sun Quan: "Lord, General Lu Meng urgently reported!"
Zhou Yu's heart thumped, and his right hand holding the female wall suddenly tightened.
Sun Quan couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Zhou Yu, then shouted without looking back: "Tell me!"
The general gasped and said, "The Liang army in the north of the city was prepared for a long time. The 200,000 cavalry and infantry army had all moved to a high place in advance and suffered almost no losses!"
As soon as the generals finished speaking, the civil servants and generals on the deck changed in a flash, and Sun Quan's face became extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, another general rushed to the deck and knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Lord, General Zhou Tai urgently reported!"
Sun Quan slapped the female wall with a palm and said angrily: "Tell me!"
The general said in panic: "General Zhou Tai was caught in a traitor in Liang's army. He was ambushed when he chased the Jinfan thieves to a canyon. More than 30 ships rushed, more than 40 fighting ships were burned, and more than 100 other boats were taken away by the Jinfan thieves in the chaos. More than 3,000 naval soldiers were injured, of which more than 800 were killed. Ding Feng was killed, and General Zhou Tai was also injured by Gan Ning."
"ah?"
"What?"
"how so?"
The civil servants and generals on the deck were in an uproar, and obviously no one expected this to be the result.
I thought that after the flood, the Eastern Wu navy would kill all the remaining soldiers of Xiliang who had been dead for no effort, but I never expected that I would be caught off guard by the Liang army. This was really a mutton that was not eaten, but instead got a stinky smell.
Zhou Yu's face became more and more embarrassing in an instant, and a suffocating annoyance suddenly surged from his chest. Zhou Yu opened his mouth suddenly and spit out a blood arrow. Then his eyes turned black and fell backwards. Sun Quan was close at hand, but he watched Zhou Yu fall to the ground, and did not reach out to help! Only the eyes that looked at Zhou Yu showed special indifference.
"Grandmaster?"
"Grandmaster!"
Taishi Ci, Zulang, He Qi, Quan Cong and other powerful generals of the Eastern Wu hurriedly surrounded Zhou Yu and rescued him. Then Sun Quan shouted loudly: "Sun Kuang, Sun Yu, why are you still standing there? Why don't you help the Grand Commander back to the orphan cabin? Sun Jiao, go and find the Doctor and tell the Doctor to use the best medicinal materials, go quickly!"
It's night.
Zhou Yu woke up from his coma and saw Sun Quan. Xu Shu was standing in front of the couch with anxiety on his face. Seeing Zhou Yu wake up, Sun Quan couldn't help but look happy and asked with concern: "Gong Jin, do you feel better?"
"It's nothing wrong, it's just an old injury, which makes the lord worry."
After Zhou Yu said that, just as he was about to sit up and greet him, Sun Quan gently pressed him back to the couch and advised him: "Your Majesty must not move around, but lie on the couch and talk."
A bitter smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face, and he no longer forced himself and lay back on the couch.
"Oh." Sun Quan suddenly sighed and said, "Gong Jin, Liang's army was prepared for a long time, and the flooding floods would fade within two days. Our army had no choice but to take advantage of it. Now Lu Meng and Zhou Tai's naval forces have all returned, and the entire army is retreating to the waterway to Jiangdong. Gu never expected that the Battle of Huainan would end like this."
After saying this, Sun Quan suddenly looked down at Zhou Yu and asked, "Gong Jin, is the Battle of Huainan really over like this?"
Zhou Yu looked back and said sadly: "Yu is incompetent, you are disappointed, lord."
"No, I know that Gong Jin, you have done your best." A faint haze suddenly appeared in Sun Quan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "The defeat in this battle was actually caused by our army's poor strength. But if you want to say it well, victory and defeat are common in military affairs. If our army loses the battle in Huainan, we may not continue to lose. Gong Jin must not blame himself too much."
Zhou Yu said: "Thank you, lord, for being generous."
"Get well to recover from the wounds." Sun Quan smiled slightly at Zhou Yu and said loudly, "When I arrived in Jiangdong, there are many places where Gu relied on Gong Jin. The Wu army cannot be without their Grand Commander of the Three Army. Haha, then Gu will not disturb Gong Jin's rest."
