Gan Ning's navy had been mobilized by Yang Rui to Xu Province's Yangtze River from the very beginning and secretly controlled the surrounding Yangtze River. After the Gangdong Sun family's troops crossed the river, Gan Ning completely sealed off the nearby Yangtze River.
After Gan Ning finished sealing off the river, an entire day had passed. At this time, the Gangdong Sun family's navy had begun a fierce battle with Taishi Ci's navy and Liu Qi's navy.
Other than special circumstances, a naval battle would normally last a long time. Moreover, most of the Gangdong Sun family's assets were concentrated in this battle.
This battle lasted for almost an entire day. When the Gangdong Sun family's navy attacked Liu Qi's navy, it was early in the morning. The entire battle ended in the evening.
The bloody scene would be extremely uncomfortable to outsiders, but Taishi Ci's troops were numb to the scene in front of them. They were all in high spirits because after this battle, almost all of the Gangdong Sun family's assets were lost here.
Other than the difference in combat power, Taishi Ci's navy and the Gangdong Sun family's navy were not much different in terms of speed. In the end, the Gangdong Sun family's navy managed to escape more than ten ships.
After all, the river in the game was too wide. With so many ships attacking at the same time, it was inevitable that there would be fish that escaped the net.
If the Gangdong Sun family's navy had planned to attack and escape from the beginning, there would definitely be more ships that escaped. However, they were destined to be beaten up as soon as they came up.
In a situation where they had a big advantage in terms of numbers, the Gangdong Sun family's navy chose to go all out. In the end, they suffered the bitter consequences of their choice. In contrast, this kind of defeat was more acceptable to the people involved than to escape without fighting.
Of course, this was also a result that Taishi Ci's side could accept. Although they also suffered some losses, their losses were much lighter than the Gangdong Sun family's navy. In one fell swoop, the Gangdong Sun family's navy's foundation was almost completely exhausted.
As for the 10 or so Sun family ships that escaped, Taishi Ci already knew the layout of Gan Ning's navy and reported the news. If they continued to return to Gangdong through the water, they might be caught red-handed by Gan Ning.
Thus, after Taishi Ci sent out ten or so warships that had suffered light damage to chase after Gangdong's navy, he began to clean up the battlefield on Xiangshui.
"System Announcement: During the Battle of Xiangyang, Liu Biao hanged himself and committed arson. Liu Qi seized control of Xiangyang City and became the Governor of Jingzhou."
“.....”
On the second day after the end of the Battle of Xiangshui, the battle of Xiangyang also came to an end. Liu Biao did not see the result he wanted and chose to end his life prematurely.
Although Yang Rui did not have a deep friendship with Liu Biao, he remained silent for a while after hearing the news. The Warlords of the gaming world had left one after another. Which one of them was not a person who once commanded a region?
The system announcement made it clear that Liu Biao hanged himself and committed arson. In the end, he ended up in a miserable state. It seemed that the situation in Xiangyang City had reached an uncontrollable state.
In the end, although Liu Qi defeated Liu Cong, based on the chaotic situation in Xiangyang City, Liu Qi did not win easily. Yang Rui did not need to listen to the Hollow Ninja's report to know that both sides were heavily injured.
Because the battle lasted for so long and the situation in the city was so chaotic, it was enough to show the intensity and danger of the battle.
Most importantly, the system only mentioned Liu Biao's death and Liu Qi's becoming the Governor of Jingzhou. It did not mention anything about Liu Cong. According to the Hollow Ninja's report, when the battle was nearing its end, more than one group of people managed to break out.
Perhaps Liu Cong and other important figures in Jingzhou like Cai Mao had already broken out of the encirclement. Without the influence of external forces, Jingzhou's future was uncertain.
"System Announcement: The Governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, has died. The storyline will advance to 208. The background of the game will not change."
“.....”
Yang Rui was thinking about the consequences of the battle in Xiangyang City when another system announcement appeared. It was also repeated three times.
The contents of the system announcement made Yang Rui confused. It had been a long time since the timeline was pushed forward. Although the time was short, it had a different meaning.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Yang Rui looked at the character agreement. Originally, Yang Rui promised the Three Kingdoms Emissary, Zhuge Kongming, that he would protect the Han Dynasty for 60 years. There were still 55 years left. In other words, the system's storyline had an effect on this promise.
Yang Rui promised to protect the Han Dynasty for 60 years. Originally, less than a year had passed. However, the timeline had been pushed forward by more than four years. The agreed time was also shorter by more than four years.
This change made Yang Rui's mind suddenly clear. If the storyline could shorten the agreed time, then Yang Rui had to try his best to shorten the 60 years. Moreover, there were traces to follow.
This was the most exciting news Yang Rui had received in the past year. Through the storyline, Yang Rui could try to shorten the promised time as much as possible.
Under the current situation, Yang Rui suppressed the excitement in his heart. He did not even reveal anything to the "General Staff" and continued to focus on the current situation.
There was internal strife in Jingzhou. The brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong had been crippled. It would not take long for Yang Rui to clean up the mess. The main thing was to have a reasonable excuse. Yang Rui and the "General Staff" had almost discussed this excuse.
When the battle in Xiangyang City ended, Gangdong's troops, who had crossed the river to attack Yuzhou, were in a dilemma. In three days, they had captured five counties and besieged three counties. The number was already quite high.
However, compared to the speed of the King of the East Sea's advance, they were nothing. According to the news sent back by the sentry horses, the King of the East Sea's troops were almost very close to them in Yuzhou.
Unlike Gangdong's troops, wherever the King of the East Sea's troops went, they surrendered at the sight of the wind. The two were very different.
The most important thing was that the retreat route of Gangdong's troops was still cut off at this time. The troops were in contact with each other to discuss the problem of self-preservation first. At the same time, it was also a problem whether to disperse and retreat or concentrate on breaking through.
Moreover, judging from the speed at which the King of the East Sea's troops were advancing in Yuzhou, there was not much time left for them to make a choice. However, Gangdong had not sent any relevant orders.
