King Liang of the Different Family

On the east bank of Feishui, Liang Army camp.

Lu Su and Kuai Yuexing rushed into the tent and said to Ma Yue: "Lord, the iron cable between the river has been built, and the winch wheels by the river have been installed. Now we are just waiting for the Eastern Wu navy to take the bait!"

"Well, okay." Ma Yue said happily, "Zi Jing and Yidu have made great contributions. More than 3 million victims in Huainan have been saved! After returning to the court, I decided to report to the emperor and give him a great reward, haha."

"How dare you?" Lu Su and Kuai Yue shook their heads at the same time, "This credit should be recorded on General Gan Ning."

"Of course." Ma Yue said loudly, "General Gan Ning naturally needs to be rewarded with great rewards."

"Master..." As soon as Ma Yue finished speaking, Li Su suddenly rushed in with sweat on his head, stretching out his hand and shouting, "Great joy, great joy!"

"Oh?" Ma Yue turned around and asked Li Su, "Where is the joy coming from?"

Li Su said: "Just received a news report from Xichuan. Major General, Sima Yi led two thousand cavalry to support Yong'an in time. Cao Cao was killed off guard and was defeated. Most of the 30,000 troops were lost. Cao Cao..."

Ma Yue said anxiously: "How about Cao Cao?"

Li Su shouted: "Cao Cao was also beheaded by the major general!"

"ah?"

Ma Yue was confused and didn't say a word for a long time, but a complex feeling of indescribable slowly surged in his heart, including joy, regret, melancholy, and even sadness.

From the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhu Jun encircled and suppressed the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang to the present, there are countless life-and-death battles between Ma Yue and Cao Cao. When they were in Yingchuan, they even had a face-to-face single fight! In the competition for more than ten years, Ma Yue always wanted to kill Cao Cao, but every time they failed. Today, Cao Cao finally died, but Ma Yue suddenly felt deeply lost.

The river goes east, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes.

With Cao Cao's death, all the heroes of the same era as Ma Butcher had come to an end. Only Sun Quan and Cao Zhen were still barely supporting each other. In the vast land and beautiful mountains, Ma Yue could no longer find his opponent. In almost an instant, Ma Yue felt that his life had lost almost all the fun. From then on, it would be difficult for him to find the feeling of mutual appreciation and deep fear.

A strong sense of loss came to my heart, it was a kind of loneliness from the depths of my soul!

Li Su obviously could not understand Ma Yue's mood at this time, and asked in surprise: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Yue carried his hands on his back, as if he hadn't heard it, and ignored Li Su at all. When Li Su was about to say something else, Jia Xu had already walked up and gently pulled Li Su's sleeve, and then gave another wink. Li Su understood and hurriedly left the big tent with Jia Xu. Lu Su and Kuai Yue understood it, and also followed the two of them to leave the big tent. The curtain fell and the light in the big tent became dim.

Outside the tent, Jia Xu said: "Zi Yan, seeing your expression just now is both happy and worried, I'm afraid it's not all good news, right?"

"That's right." Li Su said, "Although the major general killed Cao Cao, he was caught in the enemy's trick when he was chasing the remaining soldiers in Jingzhou. The two thousand Western Liang cavalry were almost completely damaged. Fortunately, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren led the follow-up army to arrive in time, and then he tried his best to rescue the major general."

"Ah?" Jia Xu took a breath after hearing this and said in a lost voice, "The Major General has experienced many battles and has seen countless conspiracies and tricks. How could he easily fall into the trap? Moreover, isn't Sima Zhongda still around him? How could he be defeated so miserably? Who is setting this trick? It's so powerful?"

Li Su said: "This man's surname is Zhuge's name, his name is Liang, his name is Kongming, and he is only young."

"Zhuge Liang!" Jia Xu frowned and said, "Who is this?"

Li Su shook his head and said, "This is unknown."

"Can this person defeat the major general at the age of twentieth?" Jia Xu frowned, "It should not be underestimated."

He asked again: "What is the situation in Xichuan now?"

"The remnants of Cao's army have been returned to Jiangling." Li Su said, "But the major general was seriously injured and could no longer lead the army. Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren and others dare not make arbitrary initiatives to send troops to Jingzhou, and are currently defending on the vicinity."

"Well, it's right to defend according to the danger." Jia Xu nodded, "Although Cao Cao was dead, Cao Zhen was newly established, the situation in Jingzhou was not determined, which is an excellent time to take the opportunity to attack. However, the situation in Huainan is not determined, and more than 3 million victims are still waiting for our army to provide relief. In a short period of time, our army's strategic focus is still difficult to shift. Xichuan should still take the defensive position first, so as not to succeed in planning a tiger but instead become injured by the tiger."

Li Su said: "Sima Zhongda also suggested this in the letter, but it coincided with the military advisor."

Fat water, strange rocks.

In the thin morning light, hundreds of Dongwu slings rushed forward, and the bucket ship was surging upwards. Lu Meng was wearing a belt in his body and stood on the bow of the ship with his sword. The fresh river breeze blew towards him, and the cold dew had wet his battle robe. On the river surface not far ahead, more than a hundred boats and dozens of slings were evident in the river fog. One of the slings had a striking brocade sail hanging on the mast of the slings.

Jinfan thief, that is Jinfan thief!

In the middle of the night, Lu Meng received news that all the Jinfan thieves had taken off the big village of Xiaoyaojin Naval Army and were following Feishui. It seemed that they wanted to assist the Liang army infantry to cross the river from Feishui. Of course, Lu Meng would not let the Liang army do what they wanted. He immediately led 5,000 naval troops to intercept them. The two armies fought fiercely across the river for half an hour. Jinfan Naval Army was outnumbered and fled in panic.

Lu Meng naturally did not want to miss such a good opportunity and led the Eastern Wu navy to chase him.

When they chased until dawn, they had just reached the strange rock rock. Lu Meng looked at him and saw that the river in front was gradually becoming narrower, and the terrain on both sides began to become more complicated, with grass and rugged rocks.

"General Zhou Tai." Lu Meng couldn't help but turn around and asked Zhou Tai, "You are more familiar with the rivers in Huainan than the governor. The terrain ahead is complicated and the mountains are steep, but I don't know where you are?"

Zhou Tai looked around with a tent in his hand for a moment and replied, "Governor, there is a strange stone rock in front of him."

Lu Meng frowned and said, "Strange Stone Rock?"

"Yeah." Zhou Tai nodded, "The strange stone rock is named after the strange rock in front of him. Feishui turned a big bend here. The river surface at the bend is narrow, the river is covered with reefs at the bottom, and there are vortexes everywhere on the river. Every year, some ships hit the reefs and sank here every year! If it is not necessary, even the thief of Jiujiang River will not be willing to walk through this section of the river."

"Curve? Reef? Whirlpool?" Lu Meng's face gradually became solemn. Seeing that the Eastern Wu naval army was about to enter the strange stone rock, Lu Meng suddenly raised his right arm and shouted sternly, "Send the order, the whole army will stop advancing!"

Xu Sheng, who stood behind Lu Meng with his sword, did not dare to be negligent. He quickly raised his head and shouted at the flag soldiers on the mast: "Tell me the order, the whole army will break down and stop moving forward!"

"Huh?" Zhou Tai said in surprise, "Why did the governor order to stop moving forward?"

"Yes." Jiang Qin also said, "I finally got this opportunity, so I can't let the Jinfan thief go like this!"

"No!" Lu Meng shook his head and said, "The situation is a bit abnormal. This is probably the trick of Liang Jun!"

"Crack?" Zhou Tai said disapprovingly, "What kind of trick can be there? Could it be that the Western Liang Iron Cavalry can kill the water?"

Lu Mengsu pointed to the rugged rocks on both sides of the fat water and said to Zhou Tai: "The terrain here is steep, the river is narrow, and the river is covered with reefs at the bottom, and there are vortexes everywhere. If we want to pass through this section of the river, our army must slow down and pass through this dangerous shoal carefully! I wonder if the two generals have thought about it, our army is easily ambushed when passing through this dangerous shoal."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other and nodded silently.

Lu Meng said again: "In this way, the Liang army only needs to set up a catapult on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to pose a fatal threat to our army."

Zhou Tai asked, "What should I do?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Meng said, "Send a thousand people first to explore the truth and reality."

Zhou Tai clasped his fists and said, "I will go there in the end."

Lu Meng said happily: "Then I'll have a hard time."

Zhou Tai shouted loudly and jumped up. His majestic body floated into the air and fell lightly to the bow of the boat. He immediately led his sword and shouted: "The soldiers of the front army obeyed the orders, attacked at a speed... advance!"

With the order of Zhou Tai, thirty rushes and fifty rushes were separated from the brigade and quickly rushed into the strange stone rock.

Caishiji left bank.

Zhang Yan, who was hiding behind the strange stone, saw that the Eastern Wu naval army suddenly stopped moving forward, and couldn't help but stand up nervously, looked around and said, "What's going on? Why didn't the Eastern Wu naval army move forward? Did he find any flaws?"

"Impossible!" The former general of Black Mountain, Li Damu, had a bull's eyes wide open with a copper bell, and responded, "The brothers are all hidden very well. It is impossible for the Wu army to discover any flaws! If the Wu army really finds any flaws, it must be that the Youzhou soldiers in Jiangyou have exposed their whereabouts."

"Yes, yes, big eyes are right." Yu Du nodded repeatedly, "Su You and Zhang Nan's two bastards are clumsy in their work. They must have leaked their way."

"Okay!" Zhang Yan frowned and shouted, "Is it over?"

"Didn't this mean you're used to it?" Li Damu and Yu Du scratched his head and laughed, "We Black Mountain bandits and Youzhou soldiers have fought for more than ten years. They won't deal with each other when they are under General Yuan Shao's account, but they still won't deal with each other when they are under Prime Minister Ma's account."

"Shut up!" Zhang Yan shouted sternly, "Prime Minister is very talented, how can Yuan Shao be compared? You two dare to say a word in the future. Don't blame me for turning against you for being ruthless!"

Li Damu and Yu Du were so angry that they couldn't help but silence.

At this time, the old general Zuo of Black Mountain suddenly shouted: "General, the Wu army is moving again."

"Oh, is that?"

Zhang Yan turned around when she heard the sound. Sure enough, she saw nearly a hundred large and small warships approaching the strange stone rock. However, the large ships of the Eastern Wu Navy remained in place without any movement. Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a sank. He looked up at the small hill opposite the river and looked at the black triangle flag that had been inserted on the top of the mountain at some point, flirting in the wind.

Zhang Yan drew his sword with his backhand and shouted sternly: "Brothers, hurry up and rack the stone throwing machine and fill it with stone bullets, hurry!"

“Swishy…”

At the command of Zhang Yan, the trees and weeds covered on the catapult were pulled down to the ground. In a flash, hundreds of catapults had already revealed their hideous true appearances. Almost at the same time, on the mountain opposite the river, the Youzhou soldiers led by Tian Yu also took off the disguise on the catapult and began the final preparations before the war.

At this time, the navy team led by Zhou Tai was still confused and plunged into the trap carefully set by the Liang army.

“Annang…”

Accompanied by the intense sound of war drums, dense huge rocks rose from the riverside and smashed down fiercely at the naval army team led by Zhou Tai with a sharp roar. Zhou Tai was shocked and roared quickly: "Return the bow of the ship, change the front team, retreat, retreat quickly!"

However, it's too late.

There were only two loud "boom" sounds, and two huge rocks fell first and smashed into the river hard, and suddenly splashed water columns that were half a day high. The splashing water splashed Zhou Tai into a fallen chicken. Before Zhou Tai could even wipe the water from his face, more than a dozen huge rocks came in and hit him heavily, and suddenly smashed several big holes on the deck of the warship that Zhou Tai was riding.

"General, it's not good." A young school rushed up from under the deck in panic and said hissing, "It's hitting the reef, the cabin has water in, ah..."

Before the school could finish its words, another huge rock fell into the air and hit the head of the school heavily. The school screamed bitterly, and a head suddenly burst out like a watermelon. Blood rain and brains splashed Zhou Tai's head and face. Zhou Tai had no time to feel sad for the dead school. A sharp roar suddenly sounded in his ears, and he quickly dodged. A huge rock almost brushed his ears and smashed the towering mast heavily.

The soldiers who were climbing on the mast basket looked at the river and immediately rolled in and fell into the river, and were soon swallowed by the vortex.

However, the Eastern Wu navy was an elite soldier after all. After the initial panic, it quickly calmed down. Under the strong control of the paddlers and helmsman, the remaining dozens of warships quickly turned the bow and began to retreat in an orderly manner. However, at this moment, an accident occurred suddenly! The hull of the warship that rushed to the front suddenly paused and actually stopped!

Wu Junjiao, who was guarding the bow of the boat, staggered and almost fell into the river. There was a clear sound of wooden boards breaking into his ears. The sound... was clearly the sound of the boat wall breaking!

"What's going on?" The school quickly got up and shouted loudly, "Has it hit the reef?"

"No, it's not a reef!" Some soldiers shouted in panic, "It's the iron chain of the river, my god, it's the iron chain of the river!"

"What? The iron chain of the river!" The school was shocked and said sternly, "Hurry, report to the governor immediately with flag words, we have bumped into the iron chain of the river!"

On the river surface not far from the Strange Rock.

An inexplicable coldness suddenly flashed through Lu Meng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "It's true that there is an ambush!"

"It's still a mastermind!" Jiang Qin couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised, "If the governor hadn't seen the lead, our army would be in danger."

Lu Meng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Although the catapult is powerful, it only smashes a few big holes in the deck. Even if the cabin is penetrated, it is not enough to pose a fatal threat to our army's warships. He sent an order to divide all ships into ten teams, and he went forward to harass and lure Liang's catapults to attack. I want to see when the Liang army can persist in such a strong attack, hum!"

"Governor, it's not good!" As soon as Lu Meng finished speaking, the school crawling on the mast suddenly shouted, "General Zhou Tai sent back the news that the fleet encountered the iron chain on the river and could no longer retreat!"

"Ah? The iron chain on the river?"
