    Nanjun has always been the inner demon in Zhou Yu¡¯s heart.  Ever since the Battle of Chibi, when he led the Jiangdong army to attack Nanjun, it seemed that all his luck had run out.

    Huo Jun was originally a little-known general, but with a few thousand soldiers and horses, he blocked Jiangdong's tens of thousands of troops with high morale.  And from then on, Nanjun became the strongest city in Jingzhou.  Huo Jun also became the best general in Jingzhou.

    Liu Bei once sent large armies to attack Nanjun twice, but both times they returned with great defeats. This made Huo Jun a famous general in the world.

    This attack on Jingzhou is inevitable for Jiangdong and even Zhou Yu.

    The four counties in Jingnan were determined by Lu Meng's message. Jiangxia, which had caused Jiangdong's army to sink into the sand many times, was also captured by Lu Su without blood.

    However, Huo Jun was still guarding Nanjun City. Facing the confident Huo Jun and Han soldiers on the city wall, as well as the mountains of defensive equipment, Zhou Yu did not fight head-on. He adopted a roundabout tactic and attacked Jiangling first.

    However, what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that Jiangling guard Zhang Xiu was also very difficult to deal with.

    The name of the Spear King of the North is very famous. He once defeated the Northern Hero Cao Cao twice in Nanyang with one county and 10,000 troops.  Zhou Yu used the method of provocation to get Zhang Xiu out of the city, and then planned to capture and kill him, thus taking Jiangling.

    But who could have imagined that he could be so calm and completely ignore the Jiangdong soldiers yelling outside the city, leaving Zhou Yu with no choice but to attack forcefully.

    After five or six days of continuous attack, Jiangling City was impregnable.  Although a lot of defensive equipment and soldiers on the city were also consumed, the losses of Jiangdong soldiers were very large.  Every time the city is attacked, seven to eight hundred people will be killed or wounded. The number of casualties has reached 4,000, but there is still no sign of the city being broken.

    Zhou Yu was a little upset. He had never been so angry since he marched with Sun Ce to fight.

    On this day, Zhou Yu was meditating hard in the commander's tent, when suddenly a soldier broke in.

    "Grand Governor, the scouts sent an urgent report. Gan Ning led the Jingzhou navy to attack Chaisang." The soldier said as he handed over the information.

    "What, attacking Chaisang?" Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this.

    During this period of time, although he was blocked in Nanjun, the entire Jiangdong Army was progressing very smoothly, which surprised him a little, especially the fact that Jiangxia was captured without bloodshed.

    Zhou Yu always felt that something was wrong, but now he immediately understood that during the entire battle, he did not encounter Jingzhou's navy, nor did he encounter Gan Ning.

    Zhou Yu hated Gan Ning very much. He chose Jingzhou instead of Jiangdong, which was an insult to Jiangdong.  But Zhou Yu also knew that this man was very capable in water combat. It was Huang Zu who relied on Gan Ning to cause Jiang Dong to suffer repeated setbacks.

    "It's a good strategy to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, but Ma Liang, I, Zhou Yu, won't let you succeed!" Zhou Yu's face slowly calmed down, and he put down the information, "Come here, send a message to Han as Pan Zhang!"

    "No!"

    Soon, Han, Dang and Pan Zhang came to the handsome tent.

    "Grand Governor!"

    "Two generals, take a look at this information!"

    Zhou Yu handed over the information sent by the scouts to Han Dang and Pan Zhang.

    After Han Dang read it, his expression changed drastically.

    "Grand Governor, Gan Ning raided Chaisang. Chaisang is empty. We must return immediately for reinforcements!"

    "Isn't this Gan Ning too courageous?" Pan Zhang was a fierce general. With veterans like Governor Zhou Yu and Han Dang around, he naturally didn't want to think about the problem.

    "This is Ma Liang's plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. If he returns to the army, he will get what he wants!"

    "But Grand Governor, Chaisang is too important to us. If Chaisang is lost, Yuzhang will be in danger. In the future, the Jingzhou navy will go down the river and soon reach Lujiang, Wujun, and even Guangling!"  Han Dang is one of the four veterans who follows Sun Jian. He certainly knows the importance of Chai Sang.

    "Chaisang is very important, but if we capture Jingzhou, Liu Cong's prefecture can only be located in Luoyang, and his troops will not be able to reach Jiangdong. By then, even if we don't attack, we can still capture Gansu.  I would rather die trapped in Chaisang."

    "What the Governor said makes sense, but the Governor's family members" The family members Han Dang mentioned here are Xiao Qiao.

    Although Xiao Qiao is only Zhou Yu's concubine, the love between the two is well known to the world. They are both proficient in music and are each other's confidants.

    "For the lord's hegemony, even if you give up your life, what does it matter if you abandon her?" Zhou Yu's teeth clenched loudly, and his whole body trembled.

      "Grand Governor" Pan Zhang listened to Zhou Yu's words and looked at Zhou Yu's painful expression. He knelt down and asked for orders, "Grand Governor, let the last general lead a team of soldiers and horses to return to Chai Sang's aid!"

    "No, Wen Gui, you are not familiar with water fighting, so you are no match for Gan Ning!" Zhou Yu shook his head, "General Han, Wen Gui, I have a plan to defeat Zhang Xiu!"

    "The governor has any clever ideas, can you tell me quickly?"

    Zhou Yu whispered to the two of them. They were so impressed that they quickly went down to prepare.

    Xicheng, the Han army has been repairing here for several days. Liu Cong has not made up his mind whether he should continue to advance westward and take Xiliang in one go, or divide his troops into two groups, continue to attack Chencang all the way, and return to Jingzhou all the way.  Of course, he is also waiting for the battle reports from Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

    While waiting anxiously, Tianwang Camp finally sent news about Gan Ning.

    "My lord, Gan Ning has sent out troops and is victorious!" Fazheng rushed into the county magistrate's office with a piece of information, excited.

    "Quick, bring it to me!"

    Fazheng handed over the information, Liu Cong opened it and looked at it carefully.

    "Okay!" Liu Cong was even more excited than Fazheng, "Gan Ning divided his troops into three groups. After capturing Chaisang, he asked Feng Xi to garrison him and use this as a foundation to threaten Jiangdong at all times. Okay!"

    "My lord has a keen eye for talents, and Gan Xingba's move is quite far-sighted!" Fazheng agreed very much with Gan Ning's decision. Shenshui Camp was stationed in Chaisang. From then on, Jiangdong was like meat on the chopping board, and Jingzhou  You can give him a knife whenever you want, "Lord, Feng Xi also captured two very important people!"

    "who?"

    "Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!" Fazheng handed over another piece of information, "Xiao Qiao has been in Chaisang, and Da Qiao happened to go to visit Xiao Qiao during this time. As a result, Feng Xi occupied Chaisang, and the two  Everyone is a prisoner."

    "Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao" These two beauties from Jiangdong are well-known both now and in future generations. There were many beauties during the Three Kingdoms period, but Liu Cong traveled too late and had no chance to meet many of them.  I'm thinking, what kind of beauty does Xiao Qiao have that will captivate the whole country?  "Dongfeng doesn't want to be with Zhou Lang, Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply!"

    When Liu Cong was reciting these two lines of poetry, his eyes were a little blurred, and Fazheng saw it.

    "She is really a graceful lady, what a gentleman!" Fa Zheng thought to himself, and he immediately wrote a letter and asked Tianwang Camp to send it to Feng Xi of Chaisang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
