    As soon as Lu Meng arrived at the riverside, Lu Su and his army had already arrived at Yuzhang.

    The two discussed and decided to leave Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yuzhang City. The remaining soldiers and horses were divided into three groups to pursue Jianye, Kuaiji, Wujun and Guangling respectively.

    Taishi Ci and Lu Meng marched eastward from the south bank of the Yangtze River. Zhuge Jin and Deng Dang led 10,000 troops and horses to march eastward from the north bank of the Yangtze River. Lu Su and Zhu Ran led 10,000 naval troops and transferred to light battleships to pursue them along the river.

    Because they had already thought that after their lord Sun Quan arrived in Jianye, he would not dare to stop due to Gan Ning's pursuit, and would continue to retreat eastward.  Jianye has three directions to the east, namely Kuaiji, Wujun and Guangling from south to north.

    Gan Ning and Zhang Nan led their armies to Jianye and stopped for half a day, allowing their scouts to investigate Sun Quan and other armies in Jiangdong.

    "General, the armies of Lu Meng and Lu Su are coming very quickly, and they are divided into three groups. They are already within a hundred miles away from us. Sun Quan fled to Wu County, should we pursue him now or not?" Zhang Nan held the scout.  Ask Gan Ning about all the information sent.

    Gan Ning thought for a while and shook his head, "Zhu Huan, the governor of Wu County, is a famous general in the world. He should have been prepared at this time. Even if we catch up, it will be useless, and it will be easy to fall into the siege of Jiangdong's army. Now we  The goal has been achieved, rest here for a day and withdraw the troops tomorrow."

    "General, why do you want to withdraw tomorrow?" Zhang Nan was a little puzzled, "The three armies from Jiangdong, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, are approaching here. If we want to withdraw, we should leave as soon as possible, lest we be surrounded by the opponent later!"

    "Ha" Gan Ning smiled, "Lu Su and Lu Meng not only wanted to save Sun Quan this time, they also wanted to catch us all. But he forgot that I, Gan Ning, was formerly known as the Jinfan Thief. I traveled across the Yangtze River. If I want to escape,  , no one can stop us on this river. If we leave now, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and others will definitely see our movements clearly and deploy in advance. Therefore, we must brake quietly. The waterways in this area are complicated, and they  There¡¯s no way to stop us!¡±

    "The general is wise!" Zhang Nan admired Gan Ning.

    After Lu Su chased for a distance along the river, he received a report from the scouts that Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, had withdrawn to Wu County, and Gan Ning's army was temporarily stationed in Jianye.

    "Gan Xingba, how dare you go deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong, I will definitely keep you! Otherwise, you will come and leave whenever you want. How can I have peace in Jiangdong!"

    After Lu Su thought about it, he immediately wrote a letter to Lu Meng and Zhuge Jin and asked people to send them quickly. Then he ordered the fleet to form a square formation, slow down, and slowly approach Jianye.

    "General, are you going to have a decisive battle with Gan Ning?" Zhu Ran looked at Lu Su's arrangement and asked.

    "good!"

    "Although Gan Ning was born as a bandit, his ability in water warfare was very good. Back then, the eight hundred brocade sails caused chaos in Jingzhou, and Wenpin couldn't do anything about him. Now he has an army of ten thousand, with various warships on board.  There are hundreds of warships like us, how can we be his opponent?" Zhu Ran said worriedly.

    "Yi Feng is right. It is precisely because Gan Ning is difficult to deal with that we must annihilate him this time. If he is allowed to retreat, there will never be peace on both sides of the Yangtze River in the future!" Lu Su's face flashed.  With a hint of sternness, he said, "If we can exchange these fighting ships for the annihilation of Gan Ning's army, do you think it's a good deal?"

    "This of course this is a good deal! Gan Ning's warships include stern boats, walking boats, tower ships, etc., but" Zhu Ran's face was full of doubts, "We are just fighting Gan Ning on the river. We don't have enough troops.  If you have the advantage, the warships don¡¯t have the advantage either!¡±

    "Yes, but we have a geographical advantage. Gan Ning wants to withdraw, but he is going upstream. I want to place these fighting ships across the Yangtze River, blocking the river, and allowing Zhuge Jin and Lu Meng's armies to come from  Surround us from both sides, and Gan Ning will be unable to escape by then. If that doesn't work, set a fire and burn all our fighting ships and Gan Ning's warships!"

    "This is good! The general's strategy is wonderful!" Zhu Ran was excited for a while, "I wonder how Gan Ning can control the Yangtze River?"

    L¨¹ Meng and Tai Shi Ci marched hurriedly. On the way, they received a report from a scout that their lord Sun Quan had withdrawn to Wu Commandery. L¨¹ Meng immediately stopped the army.

    "General, why did you stop?"

    "Ziyi, don't worry, my lord is at ease!" A relaxed smile finally appeared on Lu Meng's face, "With Governor Zhu Huan here, Gan Ning can't attack Wu County!"

    "Then let's do it now"

    "We must not let Gan Ning go this time. If my guess is correct, he will no longer pursue the lord now, but is preparing to retreat to Chaisang!"

    At this moment, Lu Su¡¯s letter also arrived.

      "Ha" Lu Meng burst into laughter, "Ziyi, General Lu Su has thought of a clever plan to annihilate Gan Ning at this time!"

    "Okay!" At this time, all the generals in Jiangdong hated Gan Ning.

    So, Lu Su led the navy to slowly approach Jianye along the Yangtze River. On both sides of the Yangtze River, Lu Meng, Tai Shici, Zhuge Jin and Deng Dang led a group of soldiers and horses respectively, as if two sharp knives were piercing Jianye.  A total of 35,000 troops, with a fierce momentum, wanted to engulf Gan Ning's 10,000 navy troops.

    The next day, Lu Su's fleet was less than thirty miles away from Gan Ning. At this time, a scout reported that Gan Ning's fleet had left Jianye and disappeared.

    "What, missing?" Lu Su was furious after hearing this, "Ten thousand naval troops and hundreds of warships suddenly disappeared, and you said you disappeared. How did you find out the news?"

    The scouts were so frightened that they did not dare to speak.

    "General, this place is not far from Jianye. Gan Ning will never disappear out of thin air. Lu Meng and Zhuge Jin's army is also approaching. We rush over quickly and we will definitely find him!" Zhu Ran suggested.

    "Okay, order the fleet to move forward at full speed!"

    "No!"

    After more than thirty miles of waterway, we traveled down the river and arrived in less than an hour. Indeed, as the scout said, Gan Ning and his fleet were nowhere to be seen.

    "The traces of the camp are still there, where could they go?" Zhu Ran looked confused.

    Lu Su looked around and saw that there were many small water systems around, which could allow boats to sail, but were not conducive to fleet movement.

    "Report to the general, Gan Ning's fleet appears near the Lujiang River!" At this time, the scout suddenly came to report.

    "Near the Lujiang River?" Lu Su frowned and thought, and suddenly a look of annoyance appeared on his face, "I was fooled! This cunning Gan Ning actually dispersed the entire fleet and detoured to the Lujiang River."

    "General, let's chase him quickly!" Zhu Ran said anxiously.

    "It's too late!" Lu Su shook his head, "If we go upstream, we can't catch up at all. Lu Meng and Zhuge Jin are traveling by land, and they have to cross mountains and ridges, so we can't catch up. Just look at the Governor.  and Lu Xun, can they be surrounded and annihilated in Chaisang?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
