"Do you even know how to lead the way?" 'Jia Xu, the blabbermouth, kept nagging at the side.
"Yes!" The barbarian man replied with a single sentence.
"Why haven't we left this godforsaken place yet?" There was a reason for Jia Xu to be so long-winded. Ever since they left the mountain outside Xiangyang City, they had been staying in the depths of the mountain. It had been almost half a month and they were either surrounded by trees, beasts, insects and snakes all day long. It would be strange if Jia Xu was happy. Naturally, he would be more talkative.
"Yes, the bird over there is pooping!" The barbarian pointed at a bird flying in the sky in the forest over there.
"Me!" Jia Xu pointed at the barbarian and was speechless.
"Stop talking!" Liu Mang was also helpless. They were surrounded by lofty mountains and steep ridges. It was impossible for them to climb over one mountain after another. Originally, they thought that they would be comfortable after climbing over this mountain. Who would have thought that there would be a lot of things waiting for them in front of them? Liu Mang's expression was also ugly. The clothes of this group of people had become tattered. Jia Xu had started to use leaves to cover his body. This group of people had become barbarians.
Hearing Liu Mang's words, Jia Xu did not say anything on the surface. However, he was still nagging secretly.
"Huzi, how far are we?" Liu Mang also asked the barbarian.
"Tsk!" Jia Xu listened to Liu Mang's words and curled his lips in disdain. "You asked me to stop talking? Didn't you ask yourself?"
To be honest, Liu Mang was really embarrassed to ask such a question. After all, it was Liu Mang who saved him. Without Huzi and his barbarian brothers, Liu Mang would have been barbecued outside Xiangyang City. Would he still be nagging now? However, Liu Mang himself was also tired. How long would it take for them to continue walking? In other words, they could persevere, but Zhou Cang, who was beside them, could not hold on any longer.
Over the past few days, Zhou Cang's original wound had begun to inflame, and his fever had not subsided. If this continued, Zhou Cang wouldn't be able to hold on. That was why Liu Mang said those words.
"Lord Man Ji, we'll arrive after passing through two mountain ranges! Beside him, Huzi still responded to Liu Mang, but this form of address gave Liu Mang a headache.
This was because the title 'Man Ji' was used to refer to the husband of the barbarian princess.
In order to survive, he was basically selling his body.
Liu Mang reported that there were still two mountain ranges between his eyebrows. How long would it take? How many days would it take? Liu Mang asked. Right now, he was suspecting whether or not this Huzi was purposely leading them to take a detour, because they didn't take the official road or the main road. Huzi explained that it was safe, and Liu Mang had nothing to say. Just like that.
"Three days!" Huzi explained to Liu Mang. Indeed, Huzi didn't lead Liu Mang on the official road or the main road because it was safe. After safely leaving Xiangyang City, they would be completely safe after passing through a few mountain ranges. They could still dress up a little.
Huzi walked through the mountains because he was afraid that Liu Mang, the barbarian's Man Ji, would run away. Although Huzi brought three men with him, he also knew that he couldn't defeat Liu Mang's group. Liu Mang's strength was about the same as Huzi's, and with Guan Hai's help, there was basically no chance of winning. If Liu Mang's group took the official road and directly left Jingzhou, what could Huzi do? Therefore, Huzi had been walking through the mountains these past few days to prevent Liu Mang from finding the way back.
"What if we speed up!?"
Looking at Liu Mang's anxious expression, Huzi knew that the man named Zhou Cang couldn't hold on any longer. If he didn't get treatment soon, he might die. Therefore, Huzi thought for a while. "We can speed up, one day! But it's tiring! " It's dangerous, "Huzi explained. This was because the forest was full of dangers. Wild beasts were one aspect of the forest, but the more dangerous ones were insects and snakes. These poisonous creatures were the most troublesome. Even the barbarians who had lived in the forest for a long time didn't dare to say that they would be safe inside. Therefore, they had to keep an eye on things along the way. If they increased their speed, they wouldn't be able to keep an eye on things. If they weren't careful and got bitten by those poisonous insects and snakes, then they would have to wait and see if the heavens would punish them.
"Lord, Lord, don't worry about me. Put me down!" Zhou Cang's voice was very weak. He had fainted several times. This time, he heard Huzi's words as soon as he woke up. He knew his own body very well. He was already very weak due to excessive blood loss. His wound was simply treated. Now, because the wound was infected, it was bleeding and had a high fever. At this time, there were no anti-inflammatory drugs or the like. Once the wound was infected, it was basically a dead end.
Speeding up in the forest was very dangerous. If others were to be implicated, Zhou Cang would feel very guilty.
"It's dangerous. It's tiring. What's the big deal!" Before Liu Mang could say anything, Guan Hai on the side spoke. Although he didn't spend much time with Zhou Cang, they were considered comrades. Moreover, Zhou Cang always called him Brother Guan. It was reasonable that Guan Hai couldn't abandon his brothers. Guan Hai wanted to take revenge on Guan Yu and Liu Bei not because Guan Yu almost killed him, but because Liu Bei treated his brothers badly. In order to win the hearts of the soldiers, Liu Bei had done everything he could to get rid of those who weren't on his side.
Therefore, Guan Hai was angry, and now Zhou Cang was seriously injured.
"Brother Guan, I, Zhou Cang, know that Brother Guan is good to me, but Brother Guan, I, Zhou Cang, can't do it anymore. Please put me down. If you have the heart, come visit me every year on this day and bring me some good wine and food!" Zhou Cang said to Liu Mang and the rest. He didn't want to implicate Guan Hai and the rest. He only wanted to die alone.
"Lord, we can't abandon Zhou Cang. It's dangerous and tiring. Let me, Guan Hai, do it!" Guan Hai's expression was so anxious that it was even more ferocious.
"You'll carry him? How long will you carry him? " Liu Mang glanced at Guan Hai coldly. Guan Hai had been carrying Zhou Cang all this time.
"Lord, you should leave quickly!" Zhou Cang smiled at Liu Mang and the rest. It was getting late. If they delayed any longer, it would rain. Once it rained, it would be even more difficult to walk.
"Zhou Cang, shut up!" Liu Mang glared at Zhou Cang, causing Zhou Cang to shut up. "Guan Hai, you walk in front!" ‘
"Lord, are you really going to abandon Zhou Cang?" Guan Hai couldn't believe it. "Lord, you asked me, Guan Hai, to carry Zhou Cang. I'm not afraid of tiring or danger." ‘
"You shut up too!" Liu Mang turned around and roared at Guan Hai.
"Let's go, let's go!" ‘
"Hmph!" Guan Hai was very dissatisfied, but he had no choice. He could only snort coldly and walk in front.
"What nonsense!" Liu Mang looked at the two of them and stopped them. "Zhou Cang, what did you say before?" Liu Mang looked at Zhou Cang and said.
"Hmm?" Zhou Cang was stunned. He didn't know what Liu Mang was talking about.
'When we were at Luokou, you said that your life, Zhou Cang, belongs to me! It's mine, Liu Mang's! Do you want to die so early? Have you asked me, Liu Mang? " Liu Mang's expression was almost ferocious.
"Lord, me?" Zhou Cang didn't understand.
"Do you think your life is still yours? What a joke. You're my personal guard now. You're taking my salary. You're eating from me, Liu Mang. Your life was saved by me, Liu Mang. If I don't let you die, what right do you have to die? To put it bluntly, you're now a dog raised by me, Liu Mang. Now, I want you to live. Live! " Liu Mang was almost roaring at Zhou Cang.
"Lord, me, me!" Zhou Cang didn't know what to say. Although Liu Mang's words were unpleasant, Zhou Cang knew that it was for his own good.
"Lord!" Guan Hai also stopped. He also knew that he had wronged Liu Mang.
"Come, come up!" Liu Mang shouted at Zhou Cang.
"Hmm?" Zhou Cang was stunned. He looked at Liu Mang and didn't move for a long time.
"What are you waiting for? Come up!" Liu Mang shouted at Zhou Cang.
"Lord, let me do it!" Guan Hai wanted to carry Zhou Cang.
"I'll let you lead the way! Stop talking nonsense! " Liu Mang glared at Guan Hai. Guan Hai's body wasn't good now. He had been carrying Zhou Cang for a long time and had used up most of his energy. If he continued to carry Zhou Cang, there would only be one more injured person.
"Hu Zi, lead the way. We have to get out of here as soon as possible!" Liu Mang said to Hu Zi as he carried Zhou Cang on his back.
"Yes!" Huzi nodded his head and led his men to walk in front of him.
…
In Jingzhou and Xiangyang, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were slowly withdrawing from the fight for power in Jingzhou. Cai Mao was removed from his position as the military advisor and returned to the Cai Family to recuperate. After all, the 30,000 Xiangyang Navy did not return to Xiangyang and went to Fancheng. Cai Mao had the capital.
Although the Kuai Family was not removed from their positions, Kuai Yue rarely spoke in the imperial court.
Right now, in the court, there were only three people who had a say in this matter. One of them was Huang She, the eldest son of the Huang family. He was the one who exposed Lady Cai's adultery. Therefore, when the Cai family and the Huang family vacated their positions, Huang She's Huang family had a share in this matter. Originally, all the credit belonged to his Huang family, but because of the second son, Liu Pan, Huang She couldn't get the position of Jingzhou's military advisor. Instead, he could only get the position of the leader of the bodyguards. He had thousands of troops under his command. Although people were greedy, Huang She naturally wanted more. Although these thousands of troops were a lot, but they couldn't be compared to Liu Pan's 20,000 troops. Therefore, Huang She wanted more.
The second person was Liu Biao's second son, Liu Pan. Liu Pan was a rising star in Xiangyang. At such a young age, he was already a military advisor in the Jingzhou Army. His future was limitless. However, Liu Pan also wanted to climb up the ranks.
Although the position of Jingzhou's Military Advisor is awe-inspiring and because he is in charge of all of Jingzhou's money and provisions, he can get a lot of benefits. However, Liu Pan was a general from the beginning. After all these years of military career, he knew that in this chaotic world, everything is fake. Only military power is real. Liu Pan wanted to take control of the entire Jingzhou's military power. For example, Liu Biao and Sun Ce wanted to deal with Liu Mang in Yangzhou under Yi Ji's suggestion. Liu Pan wanted to go to Jiangxia to command the troops and horses. Jiangxia had 70,000 elite troops. In addition to his own troops, it would be nearly 100,000 troops. Liu Pan had been trying to convince Liu Biao to change his mind and send him to Jiang Xia.
The third person was Yi Ji. Ever since Yi Ji gave Liu Biao an idea, Liu Biao treated him very well. This was because after sending out the Kuai Family and the Cai Family, Liu Biao did not have many strategists that he could use. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang's cold attitude made Liu Biao's heart burn with anger. This deepened Liu Biao's desire to use some newcomers.
"Reporting to Milord, Sun Ce has agreed to our request! Our army is already heading towards Lujiang. "The person who came to deliver the news was one of Wen Pin's subordinates.
"Oh, my 70,000 troops are already on the move!" Liu Biao's face was filled with joy. With 70,000 troops and Jiangdong's Sun Ce's troops, Liu Biao would definitely wipe out the Yangzhou Navy. It would be best if they could take Lujiang and completely cut off the possibility of Yangzhou attacking Jingzhou.
"My army only has 30,000 troops!" The messenger said to Liu Biao.
"30,000 troops?" Liu Biao frowned. "Didn't Jiang Xia have 70,000 troops? Why did they only send 30,000 troops? " There were wins and losses in the confrontation with Jiangdong, but there were no major losses. Therefore, 70,000 troops were still possible. Could it be that Wen Pin underestimated the enemy?
"General Wen Pin said that the troops left behind are Jiang Xia's troops!" The messenger explained.
"Jiang Xia's troops!" Liu Biao was silent. He was not a fool. He naturally knew why Wen Pin did not send out the remaining 40,000 troops. Those 40,000 troops were Jiang Xia's troops. Liu Biao's precondition for attacking Lujiang was to cede Jiang Xia to Jiangdong. He also needed to practice with the Jiangdong Army. It was already good that the Jiang Xia's troops did not rebel. Therefore, Wen Pin did a good job.
"Milord, according to what I know, Lujiang only has 10,000 Yangzhou Navy troops. General Wen Pin has 30,000 troops and with the help of the Jiangdong Army, it should be enough." Yi Ji comforted Liu Biao.
Liu Biao nodded and an urgent report was sent over. "Reporting! Reporting! Reporting! Milord! At Lujiang, our 30,000 troops encountered the Yangzhou Navy and fought a battle!!!"
They started fighting just like that? Someone had just sent over the news of Wen Pin's attack and the Yangzhou Navy and Wen Pin's Army had already started fighting. Everyone in Jingzhou listened carefully. This was because this battle was related to the future of Jingzhou. If the Yangzhou Navy was destroyed, then even if the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, returned, he would not be able to do anything to Jingzhou. However, Jingzhou could still attack Yangzhou. If they lost, haha, how could they lose?
"How are the casualties?" Liu Biao asked anxiously.
"Our army has lost over six thousand men, one thousand three hundred men are wounded, and twenty-four warships are lost!" The official who came from four hundred miles away reported this number carefully.
"So many dead and wounded?" Liu Biao was surprised. Strangely, Liu Biao was not angry. Instead, he was happy. This was because the Yangzhou Navy had 10,000 troops. They also had the record of sending Jiangdong's 30,000 troops to the bottom of the river with 7,000 troops. Therefore, Liu Biao could understand the losses.
"After dealing with the Yangzhou Navy, give up Jiang Xia. However, remember to tell Wen Pin that Chibi and Shiyang cannot be handed over!" Liu Biao instructed the messenger.
"My lord, oh my lord!" The messenger on the other side cried.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you going? "Liu Biao looked at his subordinate and asked.
"My lord, I, I don't know how to write this letter!" The official said awkwardly.
"How to write it? Can't you just write it down? "
"But, but, Milord, the Yangzhou Navy has not been destroyed. Are we going to give up Jiang Xia now?" The messenger continued to ask.
"What?" Liu Biao asked. "The Yangzhou Navy has not been destroyed? Is it the remnants? " Liu Biao thought that it was the remnants. If that was the case, it did not matter. He would leave the remnants for Jiangdong to deal with.
"Milord, it is not the remnants. It is the main force. The main force!" The messenger was about to cry. He did not dare to explain to Liu Biao.
"Main force?" Liu Biao knew that something was wrong. "How could it be? Did they avoid the battle? Is Wen Pin attacking the stronghold? Tell me what you're doing! "
"No, Milord. My army encountered the Yangzhou Navy in the Yangtze River!"
"Encountered?" It was not that Liu Biao did not know about the navy. After all, Jingzhou was a navy. If he did not know about the navy, he would not be able to command the navy. That was why he asked. The Yangzhou Navy only had 10,000 soldiers. Even if the Jiangxia Army was not taken into account, there were still 30,000 soldiers under Wen Pin's command. Of which, 15,000 were given to Wen Pin by Liu Biao. 30,000 against 10,000? They lost more than 8,000 soldiers and more than 20 warships. In the end, the enemy's main force escaped? Liu Biao's face became gloomy.
"How much did the enemy lose?" Liu Biao looked at the messenger and asked. If the main force escaped, it meant that the enemy did not lose much. At most, they lost a few warships.
"I, I, I!" The messenger trembled with fear.
"Speak!" Liu Biao was about to shout.
"The enemy, the enemy did not lose a single warship. Only a few dozen people died!" “
"Pah!" Liu Biao slapped the table. "What did you say?"
Since he had already said it, he would die. "My army under General Wen Pin's command encountered the Yangzhou Navy in Huangzhou. General Wen Pin used 30,000 soldiers to fight, but the enemy used a new warship. General Wen Pin was caught off guard and the enemy took advantage of the opportunity to heavily injure him. We lost more than 20 warships while the enemy only lost a few dozen people." The messenger told Liu Biao everything in detail.
"Wen Pin!" Liu Biao wanted to curse, but he did not know how to curse. After all, Wen Pin was Liu Biao's trusted subordinate. It was Liu Biao who asked Wen Pin to go to Jiangxia. But this was the result he had achieved?
"Father, although General Wen Pin has been defeated, but the morale of the army is still there, the main force is still there, so there is still a chance to salvage the situation. This child is willing to share father's worries and share General Wen Pin's worries. Father, please let this child go to Jiangxia, this child will certainly command Jiangxia's troops to bring back the head of the Yangzhou Navy Commander to you! "Just after Wen Pin was defeated, Liu Pan started to seize power. Liu Pan wants the military power. Previously, Wen Pin was trusted by Liu Biao and his battle record in Jiangxia was good. That was why Liu Pan did not succeed. But now, Wen Pin lost because he had the advantage.
"My lord, it is not a big deal for General Wen Pin to lose once! Young Master Liu Pan is an important military advisor. It is more important for him to plan the overall situation in Xiangyang! " Huang She was trying to undermine Liu Pan. He did not want Liu Pan to have the military power.
"Father, this Yangzhou Navy is still not strong enough. If we delay any longer, once this Yangzhou Navy becomes strong enough, it will be very difficult to eliminate them!" Liu Pan glared at Huang She and said.
"My lord, you can't. If you dismiss General Wen Pin because of one loss, the soldiers at the frontline will be disappointed!" Huang She's IQ had risen sharply. After all, his previous opponent was the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. After playing with Liu Mang for a while, Huang She learned how Liu Mang dealt with him.
"Huang She, what are you trying to do?! I am not going to Jiangxia to punish General Wen Pin. I am going to help General Wen Pin! "Liu Pan shouted angrily at Huang She.
"Help? Then are you in charge of the military power or is General Wen Pin in charge of the military power? "Huang She sneered.
"Of course." Liu Pan was about to answer when he realized that he was led into a dead end by Huang She. If he was in charge of the military power, then what was the point of helping? If Wen Pin was in charge of the military power, then what was the point of Liu Pan going there? Moreover, Liu Pan was the commander of the Jingzhou Army. It was ridiculous for him to let the commander of the Jingzhou Army be his subordinate.
"Enough!" Liu Biao shouted.
Looking at Liu Biao's angry face, Yi Ji quickly stepped forward, "My lord, can I ask this colleague some questions?"
"Ask away!" Liu Biao waved his hand.
"My lord, let me ask you. What about the Jiangdong Army? Did the Jiangdong Army help us? What are the casualties of the Jiangdong Army? "Yi Ji asked directly.
"The Jiangdong Army, the Jiangdong Army did not move at all. They just let us pass!" The messenger said.
"Just let us pass?" Before Wen Pin sent out his troops, he did not expect that he would lose so badly. He thought that although he could not send out Jiang Xia's troops, he could at least send out 30,000 elite troops. Among them were Liu Biao's troops. 30,000 against 10,000 would not be a problem. If he quickly took down the Yangzhou Navy, he would have an advantage in the negotiations with Liu Biao. After all, he was just letting them pass and did not ask them to do anything. He did not even need to hand over Jiang Xia. However, who knew that this battle would stun Wen Pin.
"I heard Daren say that there are new warships in Yangzhou, right?" Yi Ji asked again.
"Yes!" The messenger nodded.
"What are those new warships like?"
"Those new warships don't look very good. They're not as tall as our ships. They're slanted, like a large Taowu. They can ram into our warships. Many of our warships were smashed by them. Also, those warships can carry dozens of ballistae. Our warships are no match for them at all."
The messenger's words made the Jingzhou Civil and Military Officials below silent. If it was a large Bi 'an, it would not matter. However, if there were dozens of ballistae on the warships, it was terrifying. One must know that the Jingzhou Navy only had five ballistae on each warship. The enemy's warship was equivalent to several of their own.
"Milord!" Yi Ji nodded after getting a satisfactory answer. "Milord, if it is really like what this Milord said, then although General Wen Pin lost, but not only did he not make any mistake, but he also did a meritorious deed!" Yi Ji's words shocked everyone.
"Haha, what a joke. How can there be meritorious service after losing a battle? This is the first time I, Liu Pan, have heard of such a thing! "Liu Pan sneered.
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean you haven't heard of it before! Perhaps General Wen Pin is luring the enemy deep into the enemy's territory so that the enemy will lower their guard! "Huang She said.
"Using eight thousand elites and twenty warships? Then I, Liu Pan, have nothing to say. I am really knowledgeable! "
Yi Ji did not pay attention to the two of them. He stepped forward and said to Liu Biao. "I do not know if all of you still remember the Battle of Lujiang? Jiangdong's General Jiang Qin and thirty thousand elite troops were defeated by Jin Fan Bandit Gan Ning! "
Everyone immediately knew about the Battle of Lujiang. The Battle of Lujiang was a disgrace to the Jiangdong Army. Thirty thousand elite troops were sent to the bottom of the Yangtze River by the seven thousand surrendered Jiangxia Army.
"A loss is a loss!" Liu Pan emphasized on the side.
"Everyone, do you know why the Lujiang Navy won?" Yi Ji said to the crowd. "The reason is that the Jingzhou Army used ingenious techniques and mechanisms to design ballistae. It completely changed naval warfare. Our Jingzhou Army spent a lot of effort to buy the ballistae. It was also the Yangzhou Army that completely changed the rules of naval warfare.
"Thirty thousand Jiangdong elite troops? How are they compared to our Jingzhou Army?" Yi Ji asked again, but the people below still did not answer. However, everyone knew that if it was a one on one fight, the 30,000 Jingzhou Navy would not be a match for the 30,000 Jiangdong Army. This was because Jiangdong was poor. As the saying goes, poor villages are desolate. This was why the Jiangdong Army was strong in battle.
"Jiangdong's thirty thousand elite troops were under the command of General Jiang Qin!" "The people of Jingzhou are also very familiar with Jiang Qin. He was a man who risked his life in battle. But he was defeated by Gan Ning. Not only was he beheaded, but he also lost 30,000 elite navy soldiers. Who can be blamed for this?"
"Now, General Wen Pin's 30,000 elite troops are fighting against Yangzhou's 10,000 troops, yet he only suffered a few thousand casualties. Isn't that a sign of ability?" Yi Ji's words made the officials of Jing Province nod in agreement.
In this world, there was nothing to be afraid of in terms of quality, but there was nothing to be afraid of in terms of quality. This was how people were. If someone broke his leg and cried over there, as long as you told him that there was someone more miserable than him, he would immediately fall to his death. Then, it was guaranteed that the person who broke his leg would immediately feel much better. He would naturally think in his heart, "Ah ha, there is someone more unlucky and miserable than me.
Now, the Jingzhou Civil and Military Officials were thinking that the Jiangdong Army had been suppressing the Jingzhou Navy. So what? The Jingzhou Navy had 30,000 troops under the command of the Jiangdong Army and 7,000 troops were annihilated. However, the Jingzhou Civil and Military Officials did not. Although they lost, they only suffered a few thousand casualties.
After comparing the two, their mood was much better. Moreover, Yangzhou was now using a new warship.
"Even if there is no mistake, what about the merit?" Liu Pan did not give up.
"There is naturally merit!" Yi Ji said. "Milord, if we did not attack Lujiang, would we know the strength of the Yangzhou Navy? Would we know about their new warship? "Yi Ji asked the people below.
One by one, they shook their heads. "No!" Liu Biao shook his head and said.
"Indeed, no!" Even if the Yangzhou Navy's new warship appeared, no one would look at it. They would even think that it was ugly and ridiculed it. Was Wen Pin not like this at the beginning?
"Now, we know. Not only do we know that the Yangzhou Navy has a new warship, we also used our own bodies to tell everyone about the terror of the new warship!" Yi Ji added.
"Milord! In Jingzhou, even if Yangzhou attacks, we still have Jiangdong in front of us. I don't believe that Jiangdong didn't have any spies in the vicinity when we fought the Yangzhou Navy. If there were spies, then they would know the strength of the Yangzhou Navy. With such a neighbor, if we had Jiangxia, then we would naturally be afraid. But now, this fear is left to the Jiangdong Army. They are more afraid than us and are more afraid of the rise of the Yangzhou Navy. "Yi Ji analyzed the situation.
Indeed, compared to Jingzhou, Sun Ce was more afraid of the rise of the Yangzhou Navy. This was because the Yangzhou Navy was limited. Now, there were two overlords. One was the Jingzhou Navy and the other was the Jiangdong Navy.
The Jingzhou Navy relied on their numbers to remain undefeated. Sun Ce was not afraid of them at all. At most, it would take a bit of time for him to reveal a flaw. After all, he was always on the offensive side and the initiative was in the hands of the Jiangdong Navy.
However, the Yangzhou Navy was different. They had been lying in ambush. Previously, the Jiangdong Navy had suffered losses, but because they obtained the ballistae, they were able to relax their vigilance against the Yangzhou Navy. After all, the Yangzhou Navy only had ten thousand people. At most, it would be impossible for them to deal with seventy to eighty thousand Jiangdong Navy. But now, it was different. Jing Zhouwen personally proved to everyone that even if they had the ballistae, they were nothing compared to the Yangzhou Navy.
With this, Jiangdong could no longer sit still. If this goes on, the Jingzhou Navy would be consumed. In the end, Jiangdong could only watch as the Yangzhou Navy quietly grew bigger. In the end, even if Jiangdong were to attack Jingzhou, he would not be able to stop it. After all, attacking Jingzhou was a very costly endeavor. It could only be used as a dowry for others.
Right now, it looked like two tigers were fighting with a wolf on the side. The tigers weren't afraid of the wolf because they were still healthy. If the two tigers were to fight, one would die and the other would be injured. In the end, the two of them would become the wolf's food. Compared to Jiangdong, the Jingzhou Navy was better. After all, there was a buffer. Jiangdong was just beside Yangzhou.
Therefore, the Jiangdong Army was more worried about the Yangzhou Navy.
Wen Pin's loss made Jiangdong Sun Ce wary of Yangzhou.
"You mean?" Liu Biao's eyes flashed.
"Milord, it is not that we are anxious to destroy the Yangzhou Navy. Our good neighbor, Sun Ce, is even more anxious!"
Yi Ji's explanation made Liu Biao feel better. Now that he saw the terrifying fighting power of the Yangzhou Navy, it was not only Jingzhou that was anxious. Jiangdong Sun Ce was even more anxious. After all, the Yangzhou Navy was near his home.
"Milord, so my words about General Wen Pin are not wrong. Instead, they are meritorious. I am afraid that I, Jiang Xia, will be in trouble!" Yi Ji smiled and said to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao's eyes lit up and suddenly laughed. "Yes, yes, yes. Wen Pin is not wrong. Instead, he is meritorious!"
