The two ships were getting closer and closer, less than thirty steps apart, and you could clearly see the people on the ship opposite. Liu Jing saw Zhang Yun's ugly face clearly and stared at him with a grim smile. His expression was like a wild beast coveting the prey that had already been obtained.

"Liu Jing, you didn't expect that today would be there!" Zhang Yun laughed on the boat opposite.

Liu Jing was extremely calm and turned around and ordered: "Don't worry, the Jingzhou naval army is not the Jiangdong army, and will not kill each other. Everyone will follow my command!"

He raised his voice and said calmly: "I can tell you the conditions for Jiangxia. There are three in total. If you agree, I can give up Jiangxia."

Liu Jing's voice was not very clear in the wind, but his words were very important. Zhang Yun frowned and said to the left and right, "Get closer!"

The big ship slowly moved closer to Liu Jing's boat, and the two big ships were less than twenty steps apart.

A military marquis next to him found that a row of burly soldiers stood up on the other side of the other ship. He felt something was wrong and quickly reminded: "Captain, the other party has increased its troops, be careful to be a fraud."

Zhang Yun also discovered the changes in the army on Liu Jing's ship and immediately woke up. If Liu Jing wanted to escape the siege, he had to attack the main ship one way, and he really couldn't get too close.

He quickly ordered: "Leave immediately!"

Liu Jing saw that the other party had an intention to leave, and he shouted, "Take it!"

Dozens of burly and strong soldiers picked up the pots under their feet and threw them at the other ship. Zhang Yun saw a dark object flying over, and was so scared that he quickly squatted down.

‘Bang! Bang!’ Dozens of clay pots shattered on the deck and the hull, and light yellow liquid flowed over the deck. At this moment, more than a dozen rockets roared and ignited the tinder oil. The tinder oil immediately burned rapidly, and the fire instantly swallowed the deck. Zhang Yun and his men were panicked, and many people jumped into the river in a hurry in desperation.

Liu Jing was prepared for it. The moment he ordered, he drew out a bow and arrow, and aimed at the flag bearer on the mast. When the string was loosened, a wolf-tooth arrow shot out with a strong force. The flag bearer on the mast screamed and fell heavily from the mast.

Taking advantage of the panic of the enemy's main ship, Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Go forward at full speed and rush over the interception!"

Five large ships lined up to break out to the northwest, and the Jingzhou navy was in chaos. The fire on the main ship burned rapidly and the sails were lit. The entire large ship turned into a fireboat. The fire engulfed the masts, and the soldiers dived one after another. Some soldiers who had no time to dive were crying on the ship and died tragically in the fire.

Zhang Yun dived in time and escaped his life. He tried his best to swim towards another big boat. At this time, the soldiers behind him shouted, "Prince, be careful!"

Zhang Yun turned around and was immediately scared to death. The ship began to tilt, and the mast with fire broke and smashed him like a mountain.

In desperation, Zhang Yun sank suddenly. With a loud "bang!", the mast hit the water heavily, stirring up a wave, and the big ship sank, rolling up a huge water vortex, sweeping more than a dozen soldiers into the bottom of the river.

The sudden fire on the main ship frightened the surrounding warships and did not dare to approach Liu Jing's ships. They thought of the defeat of the Jiangdong army, and they heard that it was defeated by the fire.

Liu Jing's prestige over the Jiangdong Army brought great shock to the Jingzhou Navy. In addition, Zhang Yun did not issue a combat flag order, the Jingzhou Navy did not dare to act rashly, and watched five warships sail through the two fleets.

When Zhang Yun boarded another big ship, he realized that Liu Jing's fleet had broken through the siege of Jingzhou naval army and sailed northwest, turning into five small black dots.

"It's all a group of idiots, bastards!" Zhang Yun was so angry that he cursed.

Xu Du, the night was dark, and a figure hurriedly walked on the corner of the street. He soon came to a big mansion and walked up the steps. The dead air lantern under the door of the big mansion emitted a dim light, illuminating his face. This man was Huang Sho who had lost the defeat.

When Jiangxia was defeated, Huang She did not flee to Nanjun or Xiangyang. He was already disheartened with Jingzhou, and Jiangdong could not go even more. He thought about it and fled to Xudu.

He glanced at the door sign, which read "Guomingting Hou Mansion". This is Cao Hong's mansion. Cao Hong was the prefect of Runan two years ago. At that time, the Huang family and his son had dealt with him.

Huang She also knew that Cao Hong would accept bribes, so he specifically asked Cao Hong for help to introduce him. He had been here once two days ago, and today was the second time he came to the door, but Cao Hong sent someone to find him, which made him nervous and expectant.

Huang She bowed to the doorman, "Please tell Cao Gong, Huang She asked for a meeting!"

The doorman went in, and after a while, a butler came out and laughed, "Please please, Mr. Huang! My general is waiting in the study."

Huang She followed the butler into the mansion and came to Cao Hong's study. The butler reported, "General, Mr. Huang has arrived."

"Come in!"

Cao Hong's voice came from the room, and the sound was powerful and powerful. Huang shot into the study. The light in the room was bright. I saw Cao Hongnian about thirty years old, powerful and powerful. He was wearing a wide-body cloak, wrapped in a headscarf, and holding a book in his hand. Although he was a famous general of the Cao army, he was also both civil and military.

Huang She hurriedly stepped forward to salute and bowed to the ground, "See Mr. Cao!"

"Don't call me Cao Gong."

Cao Hong waved his hand. He didn't like this title, which was disrespectful to his brother.

Huang She hurriedly changed her words, "See General Cao!"

"Please sit down!"

Huang She sat down nervously and was about to speak, but Cao Hong smiled and said, "I have met the Prime Minister today and told him about you. The Prime Minister is very interested and ask me to take you to see him tomorrow morning."

Huang She was overjoyed and quickly bowed, "Thank you General Cao for his strong recommendation."

Cao Hong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You're welcome, we're still a bit of friendship!"

Huang She understood what Cao Hong meant, and quickly took out a pair of white jade from her arms, placed it on the small table, and pushed it to Cao Hong, "This is a little bit of my wish for me, please accept it with a smile."

Cao Hong's eyes were very poisonous. Seeing that the white jade was crystal clear and fine without any flaws, it was an extremely valuable thing. He smiled in his heart. It was said that Huang Zu had treasures, which was indeed good. He immediately said gentlely: "Don't worry, I will try my best to speak for you, and I will definitely let you work in Xudu."

"Thank you, General. I don't know what I need to pay attention to when I see the Prime Minister tomorrow?"

"It's nothing, there's enough etiquette. If the Prime Minister asks, you can just answer it as it should. But I'll warn you first, it's not easy to cheat the Prime Minister. If you lie, you will be blamed."

"I understand!"

Huang She said a few more words to Cao Hong, then said goodbye and left Cao Hong's mansion. Huang She was so excited that he walked to the Xuchang River and stared at the river water that had already formed a thin layer of ice for a long time.

The reason why Huang She gave up Jingzhou and turned to Cao Cao was because he knew that Cao Cao's army would go south sooner or later. When Cao Cao attacked and destroyed Jiangxia, people familiar with Jiangxia would definitely be allowed to serve as the prefect of Jiangxia. If he was valued by Cao Cao, then the prefect of Jiangxia would be his.

At this moment, Huang She was full of expectations for the future. He seemed to have seen the scene of glorious return home. He seemed to have seen Liu Jing tied up and kneeled in front of him. He would deal with it with him. Thinking that Liu Jing would get Tao Zhan, Huang She felt like blood, and her teeth slowly clenched.

It was only half a month since Cao Cao returned to Xudu. The war in Hebei was in full swing. Since Yuan Shao's death, his eldest son Yuan Tan and his third son Yuan Shang fought for the right to orthodox inheritance.

Yuan Tan was besieged in the plain by Yuan Shang's army, and was trapped internally and externally. He was forced to send Xinpi to Cao Cao for help. Cao Cao took the opportunity to advance. In October, the troops arrived in Liyang. Yuan Shang was forced to withdraw his troops. Yuan Tan then surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao recruited Yuan Tan's daughter as his wife for his son Cao, and returned to Xudu.

In the room, Cao Cao was discussing the pacification of Hebei with his counselor Guo Jia. Guo Jianian was about thirty years old. He had a pretty face, a bright gaze, elegant and handsome, and outstanding. He was just a little thin. In the dark light, he would find that he had a morbidity hidden.

Guo Jia is one of Cao Cao's four confidant advisers. He served as a military advisor to sacrificial wine. He was highly valued by Cao Cao. Usually, when he talked to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would listen with all his ears. But today Guo Jia found that Cao Cao seemed a little restless and had lost his mind when talking about Yuan Shang several times.

"What are the lord thinking?" Guo Jia stopped talking and asked with a smile.

Cao Cao was shocked and realized that he was a little rude. He smiled apologetically, "I am thinking about Jingzhou. Please continue to say "

Guo Jia knew Cao Cao very well. He knew that his lord's heart was no longer above Hebei, so it would be useless to say more. He changed the topic and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about Jingzhou."

This sentence made Cao Cao feel energetic and laughed: "I know me for filial piety!"

It’s not that Cao Cao didn’t care about Hebei, but because he had just graduated from Hebei, the situation in Hebei was already under his control. It was as if he knew the ending of a story, and his interest in this story became a little weaker.

On the contrary, he received a detailed report on the Jiangxia War two days ago, which aroused his strong interest, especially Liu Jing's outstanding performance, which made him amazed.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, "My lord has always mentioned Liu Jing to others these two days, and seems to have a heart of loving talent."

Cao Cao nodded and sighed, "I claim to be a deep understanding of people. When I first saw this boy two years ago, I felt that he was extraordinary. He could deceive too much. He was bold and meticulous and extremely tricky. He could escape from my nose. He knew that he would never be unknown in Jingzhou. Sure enough, he occupied Chaisang, defeated Dongwu, and annexed Jiangxia, and had a kingly demeanor. It only took two years to worship Xiao, and I did not misjudgment!"

"The lord's art of knowing people has always admired him. Everyone laughed at Wen and lost to Liu Jing. Only the lord said that he was lucky to die. At the beginning, Liu Jing was just a down-and-out young man, but the lord valued him. Many people did not understand. After a battle in Jiangxia, everyone praised the lord's wisdom of knowing people."

Cao Cao shook his head. He no longer cared about everyone's admiration for his wiseness in knowing people. He cared about Liu Jing. After reading the detailed report of the Battle of Jiangxia, a hint of worry arose in his heart.

Cao Cao never took Liu Biao to heart, nor looked down on Liu Biao's two sons. In his heart, Jingzhou was just a fat pig to be slaughtered. As long as the north was slightly calm, he could go south to sweep Jingzhou at any time.

But now, Liu Jing has emerged in Jingzhou, defeating the strong with the weak and annexing Jiangxia. Cao Cao is very worried that Liu Jing will annexing Jingzhou next and become the lord of Jingzhou, so that his army will have trouble when it goes south.

"Fengxiao, to be honest, I'm a little worried."

Cao Cao couldn't help but worry, "If he becomes the lord of Jingzhou, he will definitely become my strong enemy. Moreover, with his attitude towards Jiangdong, the Sun and Liu families will inevitably unite and affect my southern plan!"

Guo Jia laughed, "The lord is too worried. Liu Jing took advantage of the opportunity of Sun Quan's western expedition to take advantage of the opportunity to annex Jiangxia. Jingzhou is not Jiangxia, and Liu Biao is not Huang Zu. How could he become the lord of Jingzhou so easily?

Besides, Liu Biao was not a person with great ambitions, so he could not pass the throne of the lord of Jingzhou to his nephew. On the contrary, Liu Jing would become a major threat to his son.

If my subordinates are right, there will be civil strife in Jingzhou two years. At that time, the lord should have wiped out Hebei and no longer have any worries. You can take advantage of the civil strife in Jingzhou to wipe out Liu Biao and Liu Jing in one fell swoop."

"This is a great kindness to worship filial piety, which is exactly what I want!"

Cao Cao smiled happily and said, "We might as well help Liu Biao to make Jingzhou more chaotic."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly remembered something and said to Guo Jia: "It is said that Liu Jing used 'temperament' in the Battle of Chaisang. This is a black viscous slurry that can be ignited directly or floated on the water surface. It is extremely powerful in the battle. I heard that it was pouring out from the ground. Fengxiao might as well find it for me to see if there is such temperament in the Central Plains."

"Don't worry, lord, I'll send someone to search everywhere immediately!"

At this moment, someone in the hall reported: "Report to the Prime Minister, General Cao Hong brought Huang She, a native of Jiangxia, to pay homage."
To be continued...
