As the days passed, the battle reports on the front line also changed day by day.
Gan Ning's 20,000 navy troops fought against 70,000 Sun Ce's army, which was obviously a bit difficult.
After Jiangdong's navy experienced a defeat in the first battle, Sun Ce obviously changed his style and no longer hid his selfish interests.
He also moved out Jiangdong's large ships and new stern ships, and began to attack steadily and press forward step by step.
In this way, his true fighting skills finally blossomed, and he even rushed into Gan Ning's navy camp several times.
If Gan Ning hadn't been brave and took the lead several times, Sun Ce's army might have been able to invade Jiangxia. .
It was not until such a critical period that Guo Jia felt that the time was ripe and began to secretly implement his strategy: He first spread the word that Cai Mao's reinforcements were coming, and the navy camp only needed to hold on to calm Jinfan's navy; then he deliberately He sent someone to deliver a message and pretended to be lost in the river, but was captured by Sun Ce's navy.
After Sun Ce read the letter, he sneered, and immediately said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, the enemy is using his old tricks again."
Zhou Yu took the letter and saw that what was written on it was that Guo Jia secretly ordered Taishi Ci to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to attack Lujiang.
His brows furrowed at that moment, then his expression changed, and he shouted to the scout sternly: "It's just a little plot by a suspected soldier, and he wants to defraud my Jiangdong army.
Come on, drag this guy out of the dead zone and kill him."
The scout was originally kneeling on the ground, but when he heard Zhou Yu's words, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
Fortunately, I still had a sense of survival, so I quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, speaking in an authentic Xiangyang accent: "General, please forgive me.
I am just a messenger.
I have no idea what is in this letter."
However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu obviously would not take the life of such a pawn in their eyes.
When the two guards were about to drag the scout away for execution, the scout suddenly turned pale and felt hot between his legs.
Scared to the point of peeing.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both handsome men in the world, especially Sun Ce, who was brave and brave.
They were extremely disgusted with such shameful things, and immediately said angrily: "Why don't you drag him away quickly and leave this courageous man behind?
It just ruined my camp.”
But at this time, Zhou Yu, who had been frowning, stretched out his hand to stop Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, wait a minute," and then said to the scout in a warm voice: "I ask you, and if you can answer it, I will spare your life."
After saying this, Zhou Yu couldn't help covering his nose, but he continued: "The two armies of Cai Mao and Tai Shici have already left Xiangyang."
"Yes, General Taishi led the Ma family's new army out of the city first.
General Cai Mao stayed in Xiangyang for three days to reorganize his troops, and then he also left the city.
However, the two of them went in different directions.
One went by water and the other by land."
The soldier heard Talking about the chance of survival, he hurriedly told everything he knew like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
"Okay, you are very sensible.
I am true to my word.
I will spare your life."
Zhou Yu waved his hand, making the person still feel uncomfortable after lighting the incense.
Looking at Sun Ce's smile, the two of them thought about something at the same time, and then walked out of the tent together.
"Gong Jin, Cao Cao has made some moves this time."
Looking at the dark clouds covering the moon in the sky, Sun Ce felt a little depressed.
He was a man with a high heart, but he was killed by Ma Chao, who was equally famous with him.
When he came back this time, he thought he could have a showdown with Ma Chao on the river.
Unexpectedly, Ma Chao ignored him at all and sat still in Chang'an.
Being humiliated by this, Sun Ce originally planned to fight all the way to Xiangyang to let Ma Chao see how powerful he was.
Unexpectedly, Gan Ning, one of Ma Chao's men, could resist his offensive with only 20,000 sailors.
Such a stalemate has already severely damaged the self-esteem of this young lion.
At this time, he is no longer as arrogant as before.
"It should be," Zhou Yu also sighed, recalling the conspiracy in the cellar of the Xiangyang wine shop, he felt as if it was yesterday but also like a dream: "However, this guy Cao Cao should be afraid of Ma Chao.
And Ma Chao is right Cao Cao's defenses were very tight, and Yingchuan, Nanyang, Luoyang, and Wei counties There are heavy troops of the Ma family stationed everywhere.
If there is any trouble in the Cao family, the Ma family can send out all four armies.

Therefore, he can only control Xiangyang Cai Mao to help us find a way out here.
Otherwise, I think Cao will control it.
With an army of 300,000, I’m afraid they won’t go to war with the Ma family easily.”
"In other words, both the Ma family and the Cao family are not moving, but they are in a situation of containing each other."
"Exactly."
"It turns out that Ma Chao has never regarded me as an equal opponent."
Sun Ce looked up at the night sky and muttered to himself: "The only one who can make him worry is probably that Cao Mengde."
Hearing the loneliness in Sun Ce's tone, Zhou Yu was startled, then patted Sun Ce's shoulder lightly and said with a smile: "Bo Fu, you don't feel inferior, right?"
Sun Ce sighed and did not respond to Zhou Yu's joke.
Instead, he said sadly: "My father passed away many years ago.
I thought that after leaving Yuan Shu and sweeping across Jiangdong, I had become a young hero and lived up to my father's reputation.
But I never thought that I would be able to live up to my father's reputation in a battle with Ma Chao.
Only then did we realize that there is a way out.
This situation in Jiangxia has led to such a stalemate, which is unprecedented.
Such a hero is short of breath.
How will he face his father’s spiritual status and revitalize the Sun family in the future?"
"That's the case," Zhou Yu changed his face in dismay, rolled up his sleeves and turned around: "Then let's withdraw our troops.
In this last decisive battle, Bo Fu doesn't have to go to the battlefield himself."
"The final battle."
When Sun Ce heard this word, cold stars suddenly burst out from his eyes.
He grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and asked, "Gong Jin, you said this was going to be the final battle."
"That's the case."
Zhou Yu stopped and said with an angry face: "Where do you think Zijing has been these days?
Why do you think I am planning every day these days?
Do you think that 70,000 Jiangdong children have a strong heart?"
With a desire to serve, why did I follow you to Jiangxia?"
"It's just for this final decisive battle."
Sun Ce suddenly woke up.
He no longer looked at the dark sky, but cast his eyes on the vast river, as if he saw the fighting on the river in the distance, and the Jiangdong flag rushing into the enemy in the wind.
Shuiying, the scene of him riding to Xiangyang with his spear drawn.
I even saw Ma Chao from Chang'an with a look of shock and regret.
"Of course it's all for this final decisive battle."
Feeling Sun Ce's burning fighting spirit rekindled, a warm smile appeared on Zhou Yu's jade-like face: "Cai Mao left three days later than Taishi Ci, if My guess is correct, he must have laid an ambush in Xiangyang.
It doesn't matter whether Taishi Ci's surprise attack on Lujiang is true or false.
As long as Cai Mao's army reaches the Ganning camp, our army will launch an all-out attack to open up the situation."
"Why is this?"
Sun Ce was a little puzzled: "Guo Jia, under Ma Chao's command, is unparalleled in intelligence and scheming.
It's impossible that he can't even see through Cai Mao's heart."
"Guo Jia will definitely see through Cai Mao's methods, and he may also get rid of Cai Mao in the water camp.
But at this time when our army is attacking in a large scale, he can't advance or retreat at all.
After all, the 30,000 Cai Mao naval troops are still there after the general is killed.
We will resist our army with all our strength.
As long as they retreat, the morale of the army will be in chaos.
No matter how powerful Gan Ning is, no matter how loyal and brave the Jinfan Navy is, they will not be able to save the defeat."
"This" Sun Ce seemed to understand, but as a famous general, his intuition made him feel that there was still a link that had not been solved.

Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and he suddenly said: "No, there is Taishi Ci all the way.
He doesn't know how to solve it."
I won’t make a surprise attack on Lujiang River” "Yes, he will naturally not attack Lujiang by surprise."
Zhou Yu smiled again.
He looked at Sun Ce with relief.
A hero is a hero.
Even if he is sometimes short of breath, once he hears about the opportunity, he will immediately show his enterprising nature and power: "This time I Jiangdong sent 70,000 troops, and the veteran general Cheng Pu led 10,000 elite troops to guard Lujiang.
Even if Taishi Ci made a surprise attack, he could only trap the city and achieve nothing. " "So, Taishi Ci's group is Gan Ning's real reinforcements."
Sun Ce suddenly realized, but after thinking about this, he felt a mess in his mind: "But since Taishi Ci will come to rescue Gan Ning, then our navy Don't look at each other from head to tail.
If so, wouldn't it be playing into Guo Jia's heart?"
"That's true."
Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously.
This kind of smile can only appear on the face of a handsome man like him, and it has indescribable wisdom and charm: "However, Bo Fu, don't forget, Cai Mao is still in Xiangyang."
There was an ambush.
He dared to come to Ganning Water Camp, but he must have had this level of reliance in his heart.
But he never imagined that that level of reliance was just the prelude to the final battle in troubled times
