Zhou Yu brought his soldiers and horses to the bank of the Han River.
Suddenly his face became a little heavy.
At this time, in his eyes, he saw Jiang Qin and Ma Zhong slowly coming to the bank of the Han River with their remaining soldiers. side.
"The Commander-in-Chief is incompetent and encountered Cao Jun's interception on the way.
I hope the Commander-in-Chief will calm down."
Jiang Qin led his troops to Zhou Yu.
Seeing Zhou Yu's heavy expression, Jiang Qin said to Zhou Yu cautiously.
Zhou Yu's face looked a little heavy at this time.
Looking at the soldiers behind them, there were only three or four thousand people left.
Zhou Yu frowned and said to the two of them in a hoarse tone: "I gave you ten thousand."
Soldiers and horses, I ordered you to be the vanguard, but you were defeated.
Now that the attack was unfavorable, someone came and dragged the two of them down and killed them. " At this time, after hearing Zhou Yu's words, the generals' expressions suddenly became a little heavy, and they all begged Zhou Yu in a somewhat bitter tone.
Zhou Yu looked at the generals begging for mercy to the two of them, and said to them with a heavy expression: "If it weren't for the generals begging for mercy for you today, I would have killed both of you.
Please step aside temporarily and change your mind."
The day will make atonement."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief.
Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."
The two of them saved their lives.
They said to Zhou Yu with a somewhat grateful tone, and then slowly retreated with the remaining soldiers.
"Now our army is heading to Nanjun.
I, Zhou Yu, want to fight to the death with Cao Ren."
At this time, Zhou Yu looked at his generals with a heavy face and gritted his teeth.
He held the sword at his waist and his tone was a little hoarse.
He said to the generals.
When the generals around heard what Zhou Yu said, they looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
They had never heard of a war in which a decisive battle was the first step forward.
"Captain, you can't do this, Commander, you can't do this."
At this moment, Gan Ning on the side said with a heavy expression to Zhou Yu in front of him.
"Why not?"
Looking at Gan Ning who stood up to oppose him, Zhou Yu touched his beard and asked Gan Ning in a calm tone.
"Now that most of them have crossed the Han River, we can temporarily capture the Yiling area and use it as a base, and then slowly attack Nanjun."
Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu who looked a little heavy in front of him, and said to Zhou Yu in a hoarse tone. said.
"How about the soldiers and horses in Yiling?"
Zhou Yu looked at Gan Ning with a heavy face at this time, and asked Gan Ning in a hoarse tone.
"I heard that the guard general of Yiling is Wang Wei.
I thought he was a general under Liu Biao at the beginning.
Now he has joined Cao Cao.
There are now three thousand soldiers and horses guarding Yiling."
Gan Ning had already been prepared and said in a calm tone.
He replied to Zhou Yu in front of him.
When Zhou Yu got the news, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his lips.
So he said with a somewhat joyful expression: "Send my order to the whole army and march towards Yiling.
We must capture Yiling today."
Following Zhou Yu's order, Soochow's army, led by Zhou Yu, headed towards Yiling in the west.
In Nanjun City, Cao Ren and Niu Jin slowly returned to Nanjun with their troops.

In this battle, they lost almost four to five thousand troops.
Now Xiangyang City has 20,000 troops handed over to Wenpin for guarding.
With 30,000 troops on the side, almost one-sixth of the troops were lost in one fell swoop.
This made Cao Ren feel a little distressed.
After all, he had heard that Zhou Yu led 50,000 troops to attack him.
"General, the failure of this battle was caused by my carelessness.
Please blame me, General."
Niu Jin looked at Cao Ren in front of him with a heavy face at this time, and said with a somewhat ashamed tone.
"This war has taught you a lesson.
When fighting in the future, remember not to be so reckless and impulsive."
Cao Ren looked at the ashamed Niu Jin in front of him, touched his beard slightly, and said in a hoarse voice to the man in front of him.
Niu Jin said.
"Thank you, general.
I will remember today's failure and will avenge it someday."
After hearing what Cao Ren said, Niu Jin said to Cao Ren with some emotion on his face, and then swore in a heavy tone.
"Today, our army's men and horses are far less than those of Soochow.
Now we still focus on defense.
We must not go out of the city to fight."
Cao Ren touched his beard at this time and looked at Niu Jin with a somewhat calm expression.
He Dong Heng ordered with a somewhat hoarse tone.
"We will obey the general's order."
Niu Jin and Dong Heng listened to their enemy's words at this time, looked at Cao Ren's serious look, and replied to Cao Ren in a serious tone.
As evening approached, far to the west of Nanjun under the Yiling City, Zhou Yu led his Dongwu army to slowly surround the Yiling City.
As the defender of this city, Wang Wei looked at the Soochow army under the city in front of him with a heavy expression, and said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that now we really have to fight to the death."
"General Wang Wei, you are Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng's general, why did you defect to Cao Cao, a Han traitor?
Now that you are surrounded by our army, you might as well defect to our army.
When the time comes, my Wuhou will definitely use you again.
"Zhou Yu was riding on a war horse at this time.
With his profound expression on his face, the Soochow soldiers saw that their soldiers had surrounded the city.
A sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked at Wang Wei with a cold look on the city with a serious expression, and his tone was a bit cold. said hoarsely.
"Haha, my old master Liu Jingsheng has an sworn feud with you Soochow.
Now I have taken refuge with Prime Minister Cao.
Prime Minister Cao Xiang is the Prime Minister who was consecrated by the emperor himself.
You and others are all traitors.
Now you want me to surrender to the traitor.
Zhou Gongjin, you are thinking too much."
Wang Wei was standing on the top of the city, looking at the Soochow army surrounding his city, with a sneer on his lips, and then said in a cold tone to the people under the pond in front of him.
Zhou Yu said.
When Zhou Yu heard this, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, and then he looked calmly at Wang Wei above the city.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a calm tone: "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me.
Zhou Gongjin is merciless."
"Soldiers attack the city."
Following Zhou Yu's order, the soldiers of Soochow took the weapons in their hands and attacked the gate of Yiling City crazily.
"Throw stones and wood at these ignorant Soochow thieves."
Wang Wei looked at the surging Soochow army under the city, his expression suddenly became serious, and then he faced the frightened soldiers behind him. roared.

The soldiers of Cao's army behind him heard the secret of their prime minister, so they used stones and wood blocks from the city to smash the incoming Soochow troops.
Slowly, this siege battle lasted from dusk to dark.
The sun had set and the surroundings were pitch black.
However, Yiling City remained motionless.
The Soochow army was helpless and even lost some men.
"Grand Governor, it's already very late, do you still want to attack the city?"
At this time, Gan Ning, who was beside Zhou Yu, looked at the enemy's crazy defense with a heavy face, and said in a hoarse voice to Zhou Yu who was beside him. said.
Zhou Yu thought for a moment, looking at the frantically defending enemy troops on the sunken head in the darkness.
Seeing that his soldiers were exhausted, after all, they had traveled a long distance today, so he hesitated for a moment, and then said in a heavy tone Looking at Gan Ning on the side, he said: "It is late at night now.
The soldiers are all exhausted today.
I ordered my soldiers to stop attacking the city, camp nearby, and rest for the night.
I will attack the city again tomorrow."
Following Zhou Yu's order, Soochow's army stopped attacking the city, and then slowly retreated, looking for a safer place to set up camp and prepare to rest.
Wang Wei on the city saw the Soochow army giving up the attack and retreating, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he understood that this was just a temporary retreat of the Soochow army, and the Soochow army might attack again tomorrow.
The soldiers on the city were already exhausted.
They put down their weapons one after another and fell next to the city wall, looking extremely exhausted.
Wang Wei gritted his teeth and looked at the dark night.
There were no soldiers from Soochow around, so he looked at the two soldiers beside him with a heavy expression.
"Now you two hurry up and go to Nanjun and Xiangyang to ask Cao Ren and General Wenpin to send troops to support Yiling."
Wang Wei looked a little heavy at this time and said to the two soldiers beside him.
After listening to Wang Wei's words, the two soldiers nodded to Wang Wei, and then took advantage of the darkness to ride their horses toward the east and north
