    Sun Quan decided to cross the Yangtze River at this moment and go to the south bank to take advantage of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to defend it.

    But Zhang Zhao immediately stepped forward and said: "My lord, think again, the ships collected now are simply not enough to satisfy so many people!"

    “If one trip doesn’t work, then make two trips; if two trips don’t work, then four trips. In short, we must cross the river immediately and cannot delay it any longer!”

    Sun Quan's tone was stern and he had already made up his mind to cross the river, so he asked Zhang Zhao to open his mouth, but he could no longer say anything and had to accept.

    Afterwards, Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "Gong Jin, given the current situation, is it in danger for our army to cross the river?"

    Zhou Yu first asked for the current number of ships from Zhang Zhao, then closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

    Finally opened his eyes and said: "My lord, with the current number of coalition forces and ships, it will take at least three trips back and forth to ensure that everyone can cross the river.

    Judging from the current situation, each round trip will take at least a day.

    In other words, it would take at least three days to cross the river completely!  If there is an enemy that interferes with this, it will take even longer!  "

    Hearing this, Sun Quan and Liu Bei frowned instantly. They did not expect that it would take such a long time.

    But at this moment, Sun Liu had already made up his mind. Even so, he could only bite the bullet.

    "Gong Jin, I will leave the general affairs of crossing the river to you, and you will be responsible for coordinating the order of each team. It must be completed as quickly as possible!"

    At this time, Liu Bei also added: "Xiao Zhi, this matter is important, it is up to you to assist Gong Jin!"

    When Zhou Yu heard this, he raised his brows, but said nothing. He and Fazheng took orders and went down to prepare.

    In fact, with Zhou Yu’s talent, one person can handle it.

    But Liu Bei regarded him as a powerful force in Jingzhou and was worried that all his troops would be used as human shields at the end, so he ordered Fa Zheng to supervise in the name of helping.

    Although the words are not stated clearly, Zhou Yu and Fazheng are both smart people, and it will be clear at a glance.

    With the existence of Fa Zheng, Zhou Yu naturally could not go too far and had to discuss with him to arrange the sequence.

    In the end, after the two discussed it, the order they got was a bit surprising.

    Zhou Yu prepared to order the logistics and baggage troops to cross the river first, but the most elite group stayed at the end.

    Seeing that everyone was puzzled by this arrangement, he explained: "Now that the south bank is peaceful, the threats to us are all on the north bank.

    Although the baggage troops did not play a big role in frontal battles, they were crucial to the entire war.

    And since they move slowly, they naturally have to be transported to the south bank first to avoid being annihilated later.

    Leaving the elite troops at the end is to ensure that if Liu Ke's army catches up in time, they can also fight and retreat, and leave safely.

    Whether this arrangement is appropriate or not, please decide, my lord!  "

    Sun Quan understood that the reason for Zhou Yu's arrangement was more important than what he just said.

    It is to preserve the maximum vitality for a comeback in the future.

    If you are short-sighted, you will definitely leave with your elite troops first, eventually causing all other forces to be wiped out.

    By that time, even if you escape this disaster, it will not be possible in the long run, and you will be wiped out sooner or later.

    Judging from Zhou Yu's current order, it is also the best arrangement for him.

    Therefore, Sun Quan finally nodded and said: "Since I gave this task to Gong Jin before, then Gong Jin's arrangement is also my arrangement. Let's proceed as planned according to this plan!"

    After Zhou Yu’s arrangement was approved, he immediately began the intense work of crossing the river.

    Together with Zhang Zhao, who was in charge of internal affairs, he worked until midnight before sending all the first wave of people on board.

    “The next step is to wait patiently for the ship to return, and at the same time pray that the enemy will come as late as possible.

    "I don't know if their prayers had an effect or for some other reason. When the first group of people crossed the river, Lu Bu and Gan Ning didn't notice any movement.

    Yesterday, Lu Bu was about to be wiped out, but he was able to escape safely after Gan Ning suddenly attacked.

    The two of them were still frightened and ran for dozens of miles before slowly stopping.

    Afterwards, Lu Bu was still worried that the other party would send chasing troops, so he always stayed on guard from a distance and did not dare to approach again.

    So on the way, Zhou Yu took advantage of his unpreparedness to send away the first batch of troops.

    Today, Lu Bu and GanAfter seeing that the enemy had never invaded, he boldly marched towards Jiangjin City again.

    But this time, the situation inside and outside the city suddenly changed drastically.

    Originally, there were various teams distributed around Jiangjin, going to the surrounding villages and towns to recruit ships.

    But I didn’t see anyone along the way today, but I did see a lot of scouts.

    But when they saw Lu Bu's army, they left quickly, not daring to come forward at all, and they reacted so quickly that even if they chased after them, they couldn't catch up.

    All these scenes were so abnormal that Lu Bu and Gan Ning were both very confused.

    “Fengxian, something is wrong here!” Gan Ning was the first to speak.

    Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's true. The changes here from the past few days are really big. I wonder if it's Zhou Yu's fault again. It's better to be careful!"

    Gan Ning nodded solemnly and continued to move forward cautiously. Finally, after passing through the dense forest, he arrived outside Jiangjin City.

    At this moment, Jiangjin City was on guard, with one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps above the city wall, guarding the city airtight.

    "And I don't know if the scouts just returned to the city to report the news. Before Lu Bu's army arrived at the city, they saw the city gate suddenly open.

    Two soldiers and horses suddenly sprang out from the city, leading Guan Yu and Ding Feng to separate.

    After coming out, the first sentence he said was: "How dare you, Lu Bu, raise an army to invade? Come and take my sword!"

    Lu Bu looked at Ding Feng, who was arrogantly provoking him, and frowned, wondering what he was thinking.

    "But he didn't move at all, was not aroused by it, and rashly came on stage.

    After a while, Lu Bu gently said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, why do I always feel that something is wrong?"

    However, Gan Ning had just arrived here, and he did not have such a keen perception as Lu Bu, so he could only agree with him, but he could not explain why.

    On the contrary, Lu Bu's doubts became more and more serious, which made him no longer take action rashly, but began to observe the situation around him.

    This action instantly made Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle on the top of the city, realize that the situation was not good.

    If the other party rushes directly towards him, he is not afraid, he just needs to drive him away.

    But if we linger like this, it seems that if we explore, the plan to cross the river will be discovered sooner or later.

    After all, after the first wave of soldiers and horses left overnight, they have now reached the other side and the ships have begun to return.

    If Lu Bu discovers the returning ship, the other party will definitely stop it even more fiercely.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
