    After Zhou Yu led his army to the area around Chaisang, he felt very depressed.  Chai Sang had a total of 15,000 Han troops, with sufficient food and grass, and complete soldiers and armor. His former navy stronghold was occupied by Zhang Nan's 5,000 navy troops.  On the other side, Gan Ning built a new naval stronghold, which was also garrisoned by five thousand naval troops. It was like two gates. Even if there were thousands of troops, they would still be locked out.

    "Furthermore, Feng Xi still has five thousand soldiers and horses in Chaisang City. How can he attack it with the few troops under his command?"

    Out of concern for Xiao Qiao in the city, Zhou Yu ignored the dissuasion of veteran general Han Dang and insisted on attacking. As a result, Gan Ning was hit by an arrow.  Although the shot did not hit the vital point, Zhou Yu was angry and furious, and fell ill all of a sudden.

    Han Dang, Pan Zhang, He Qi and others were all anxious, not knowing what to do.

    The air in Zhou Yu's handsome tent seemed very dull.

    "Grand Governor, let's withdraw our troops!" The veteran general Han Dang was depressed. The number of Jiangdong soldiers was no longer as large as that of the Han army. Isn't it a joke that they still insist on attacking the city?  If Zhou Yu hadn't had a plan, he might have left long ago.

    "Wait a minute!" Zhou Yu's face turned pale, but he was still unwilling to give in.

    "Grand Governor, Gan Ning is very cautious. We have already released the news that the Governor is seriously injured, the generals are at odds, and the morale of the soldiers is low. I even drank in the camp and whipped the soldiers, but Gan Ning refused to rob the camp." Pan.  Zhang looked a little helpless.

    After Zhou Yu was injured, he thought of a plan and pretended to be seriously injured. The Jiangdong army was leaderless and the camp was in chaos. He wanted Gan Ning to rob the camp and then set up an ambush in the camp to defeat Gan Ning and conquer Chaisang in one fell swoop.

    However, Gan Ning seemed to have seen through their plan and did not leave the camp at all.

    "Grand Governor, the Jingzhou naval force is not weak. If time goes on, our food routes may be threatened!" He Qi also said, "It is better to withdraw our troops! Wait for us to repair and come back"

    "Grain road?" Zhou Yu suddenly sat up, "No, Gan Ning must have gone to rob our food road!"

    "Grand Governor, we send out scouts every day, but we haven't seen any Han troops leaving camp!" Pan Zhang said.

    "Gan Ning is a Jinfan thief! How could he let our food route go? He must have sent troops from the city!" Zhou Yu was a little panicked, "Wen Gui, you immediately lead three thousand troops"

    "Report" At this moment, a scout ran into the commander's tent in a panic, "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, General Feng Xi of the Han Army, who raided our grain road and 20,000 shi of grain were robbed!"

    "this¡­¡­"

    Zhou Yu was extremely annoyed, and Han Dang, Pan Zhang, He Qi and other three people were also dumbfounded.  Twenty thousand dan of grain is enough to feed their soldiers and horses for one month!

    "Gongmiao, how many days will the food and grass in our camp be available?" Zhou Yu asked He Qi.

    "There are still five days left!"

    "Five days, okay!" A sneer appeared on Zhou Yu's face, "Let the soldiers spread rumors that our grain and grass can only be used for three days, and let the grain officer Xiao Hu distribute the grain. I think Gan Ning can still do it this time.  Can you sit still?"

    "The Governor's plan is very clever. Gan Ning knows that we are out of food now, and without food and grass, the chaos in the army is real. Even though he is extremely smart, he never thought that this was the Governor's clever plan!" Han Dang told Zhou Yu  I admire this plan very much, because if it were him, he would definitely fall into the trap, and probably Gan Ning would be the same.

    After Feng Xi succeeded in robbing the grain, Gan Ning was very happy. He immediately asked his soldiers to inquire about Zhou Yu's camp.

    Sure enough, Zhou Yu learned that there was only enough food and grass left in the camp for three days. In order to alleviate the crisis, he actually adopted the method of dividing food by Xiaohu.

    So, Gan Ning immediately sent Feng Xi and Zhang Nan.

    "Xiao Hu divided the grain. People said that Zhou Yu was unparalleled in resourcefulness, but he didn't expect to come up with such an idea. I'm afraid the soldiers would mutiny in a few days." Feng Xi looked very excited.

    ¡°Many of those who serve as soldiers in this era are common people or refugees who cannot survive.  Sometimes they don't even get military pay when they serve as soldiers, just to have enough food to eat.  If you don't even have enough food in your stomach, why are you a soldier?

    "Xiu Yuan robbed his food and grass, what else can Zhou Yu do? Unless he withdraws his troops, this is the only way he can do it!" Zhang Nan also seemed very happy, "General, should we take the initiative now?"

    "Okay, we are ready to attack, but we still have to wait!"

    "Wait any longer?" Zhang Nan was a little puzzled, "We have been waiting for a long time, and now they are almost out of food. If we wait any longer, the morale of our soldiers will also be affected!"

    "Yes, we are about to run out of food now. If we really run out of food, wouldn't the time be more mature?"

      "Yes, the general is right, then we will wait a few more days!"

    Gan Ning, Feng Xi, and Zhang Nan waited for another two days. Scouts came to report that the chaos in the Jiangdong Army camp was getting worse and there were deserters.

    "Okay, we will defeat Zhou Yu tonight!" Gan Ning also seemed a little excited. He became famous after the battle between Chibi and Zhou Yu. Who in the world doesn't know Jiangdong Zhoulang?  But this time, Gan Ning wanted to use Zhou Yu to prove that he was no weaker than Zhou Yu in water combat.

    In the evening, the soldiers in the two water villages had already eaten their war meals and were inspecting their weapons.  Gan Ning and Zhang Nan each led a team of soldiers and horses, preparing to attack Zhou Yu's camp from the front, while Feng Xi led a team of soldiers and horses to detour to the rear of the camp and attack from two sides.

    The army was ready to set off in the second watch, but in the first watch, everything was ready.

    While Gan Ning was excited, he was also a little nervous and even a little uneasy. Something seemed wrong?  Could it be that he defeated Zhou Yu like this?

    There was no food and grass, the soldiers faced mutiny, and the camp was in chaos. All of this was very beneficial to him, but couldn't Zhou Yu have thought of it?

    Gan Ning suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. With Zhou Yu's wisdom, how could he not have thought of this?  There is no food and grass, and he is still stationed here. What does he want to do?  Is it a siege?  It's simply impossible, then

    "This is Zhou Yu's plan!" Gan Ning suddenly realized that if Zhou Yu refused to leave, his purpose was to lure him to rob the camp.  How could he not think of such a simple truth?

    "Quickquick, inform Zhang Nan and Feng Xi that we must not send troops tonight and set up ambushes in the camp and the city!" Gan Ning said loudly.

    "Promise!" The messenger immediately went to Zhang Nan's camp and Chaisang City.

    Gan Ning also immediately made arrangements, asking the soldiers to ambush in the camp, and then waited patiently.

    The second update has passed and there is no movement.

    The third watch is almost over and there is still no movement.

    "Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Gan Ning was a little confused.

    Just before the fourth watch, the sound of paddling finally came from the river.

    "It's really here!" Gan Ning suddenly became excited.

    The sound of paddling became louder and louder, and in the hazy night, warships were vaguely visible.

    Close, closer.

    Gan Ning discovered that the general of Jiangdong Army on the bow of the ship was Han Dang.  When he arrived at the gate of Ganning Water Village, Han Dang waved his sword and shouted loudly, "Jiangdong warriors, rush in and burn the water village!"
