Chapter 128 Predicted my prediction again? The remnants always collapse! Sun Ce: Are you really not going to leave me even a scumbag?

The tea was a little hot, and it made Kuai Yue grimaced. He dropped the tea bowl and jumped up.

"What did you say, say it again?"

Kuai Yue jumped forward and supported his nephew. The composure he had just displayed in an instant was gone, and he almost shouted at him.

"Uncle, Huang Zu is defeated!"

"Not only did he suffer a crushing defeat, but he was also shot by that Jinfan thief with an arrow. His life is in danger!"

Kuai Jun knelt on the ground and repeated the bad news in a crying voice.

Kuai Yue staggered a few steps, then fell down and sat down, falling into a trance and shock.

Liu Cong, who was standing by, was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

"Yi Du, what's going on?"

"Didn't you say that Huang Zu would win without a doubt? How could he be defeated so miserably?"

Liu Cong stepped forward and grabbed Kuai Yue's arm, asking in a trembling and surprised voice.

Kuai Yue's face turned pale as paper, with shame and astonishment twisted on his face. He gritted his teeth and shook his head:
"I don't understand either. There's no reason for Huang Zu to lose, right?"

"He is the best general in Jingzhou. How could he not learn from his mistakes and almost follow in Cai Mao's footsteps?"

"I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out~~"

Kuai Yue fell into extreme confusion.

At this time, the personal guards came again to report that the Jiangxia army had been defeated and returned.

Su Fei and other deputy generals have carried the seriously injured Huang Zu back to the mansion and are providing emergency treatment.

Kuai Yue jumped up, without paying any attention to Liu Cong, and hurried to the prefect's mansion, and Kuai Jun followed closely.

Liu Cong was left alone.

"Now that Huang Zu is finished, how can we defend Jiangxia? Will all of Jingzhou fall into Liu Bei's hands?"

"Then what should I do? Am I going to follow in my father's footsteps?"

Liu Cong muttered to himself, falling into a state of panic, helplessness and fear.

The provincial capital was also in chaos.

When Kuai Yue's uncle and nephew arrived, a famous doctor was coming in and out.

Su Fei and the other survivors were pacing in the outer hall, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Su Ziyi, what happened? Why did you fail like this?"

As soon as Kuai Yue rushed in, he shouted at Su Fei.

Su Fei sighed and could only tell the story of their battle with Gan Ning.

From the direct confrontation with the Fancheng navy, to the attack of Huang Zu's entire army, to the defeat of the enemy, to Gan Ning's sudden attack from the reeds on both sides of the river, to Huang Zu's flagship from the rear, until Huang Zu was forced to jump into the water and was shot by an arrow...

Su Fei silently narrated the entire process of the defeat.

The truth came out.

Kuai Yue took a deep breath, his shocked eyes full of disbelief.

He seemed unable to believe that Gan Ning had such a wise strategy. With such a mysterious strategy, he replicated the decapitation tactics used to defeat Cai Mao.

The only difference was that Huang Zu was slightly luckier than Cai Mao and was not captured alive on the spot.

However, he was hit by a fatal arrow and his life is now in danger. He is only one step away from following in Cai Mao's footsteps.

"Using the main force as bait, you hid the special forces in the reeds on both sides of the river a day in advance, and then launched a surprise attack from the rear of our army to capture the flagship directly?"

"How could this Jinfan thief come up with such a cunning and unpredictable strategy?"

"Uncle, I don't believe he has this ability!"

However, Kuai Jun shook his head violently and looked at Kuai Yue anxiously with a questioning look.

Su Fei sighed and said helplessly:
"That Gan Xingba is proficient in naval warfare and has quite a few clever strategies, I know that."

"But I didn't expect that his wits could be so cunning. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

Kuai Jun became more and more shocked and fell into deep confusion.

"That Jinfan thief definitely doesn't have such a clever plan!"

Kuai Yue's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"That Jinfan thief is just an executor. Who else under Liu Bei could come up with such a trick except that country bumpkin?"

Xiao Fang!

Kuai Jun and Su Fei both exclaimed the name at the same time.

"The Jinfan bandit used this plan to deal with General Huang's attack. It was obvious that he had been prepared for it. Could it be that Xiao Fangyuan in Jiangling had already seen through his uncle's plan and allowed the Jinfan bandit to..."

Kuai Jun was saying this when he suddenly realized that he had touched Kuai Yue's sore spot. He suddenly fell silent and raised his head to look at Kuai Yue.

really.

Kuai Yue's face looked very ugly, the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly, and veins on his forehead were bulging.

It was obvious that Xiao Fang had anticipated his prediction and gave Gan Ning a secret plan in advance to deal with Huang Zu's navy's attack on Xiangfan.

In other words, he, the number one strategist in Jingxiang, was once again fooled by Xiao Fang, that country bumpkin.

Kuai Jun's words really hit the nail on the head...

"Kuai Biejia's plan to rush to Xiangfan can be regarded as a brilliant plan to conceal the truth from the world, but Xiao Fang actually saw through it?"

"Now that our army has been badly defeated and General Chengzong has been seriously injured, how can we resist Liu Bei's army if it attacks us?"

Su Fei's face showed fear again, and he looked worried.

His unintentional words of panic also invisibly touched the heart of Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue interrupted with a dry cough, forcing a look of disdain on his face, and snorted coldly:
"Even if Xiao Fang was cunning and defeated our army in this battle, what does it matter?"

"Liu Bei's main force is still blocked at Chibi. How dare Gan Ning, with only a few thousand naval forces, take advantage of the victory to attack Xiakou?"

"The sky has not fallen yet, don't panic, we still have time to make long-term plans."

The words trailed off.

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and Zhang Shuo, Deng Long and others, covered in blood and panting, rushed into the hall.

"I heard that General Chengzong was shot and seriously injured. How is General Chengzong now?"

As soon as Zhang Shuo and others entered the room, they asked in panic.

Kuai Yue and the other two were surprised, and immediately looked suspicious. Weren't these people in Chibi, following Huang She to guard the iron lock formation and block Liu Bei's main army?
Why did they suddenly run back to Xiakou together?

"Old Deng, Old Zhang, why did you suddenly return to Xiakou? Aren't you going to defend Chibi?"

Su Fei took a step forward and shouted at them.

Zhang Shuo and Deng Long looked at each other, shook their heads, sighed, and lowered their heads sadly.

"Brother Su, Liu Bei used fire to break our Iron Chain Across the River Formation!"

"The young general fell into the water and was captured. His life or death is unknown!"

"We were lucky enough to escape and wanted to report the news to General Chengzong, but when we entered the city, we found out that you had also been defeated and General Chengzong was seriously injured!"

Zhang Shuo had a sad face and tremblingly told the tragic news of the disastrous defeat at Red Cliff.

It was a bolt from the blue.

At this moment, Kuai Yue felt as if he was struck by a bolt from the blue, and he began to feel dizzy.

The Iron Lock Across the River Formation was actually broken!
Or he used fire attack, a method he had never thought of before to break it!
This meant that the comeback plan he had planned for Huang Zu, which he thought was flawless, was completely shattered.

"You actually used fire to break the iron lock formation?"

"It turns out that the weak spot of this iron lock formation is that it is afraid of fire!"

"Could it be that this is another masterpiece of Xiao Jinglue?"

Su Fei gasped and exclaimed.

Kuai Yue, who was already dizzy, was hit on the head with a club by his speculation. He felt so dizzy that he could hardly stand.

"Uncle, all your plans have been broken!"

"Now that the iron chain formation is gone, Liu Bei's main force can move freely and go down the river to the east directly to Xiakou City."

"Then Gan Ning will lead his navy south to Xiangyang to join Liu Bei."

"General Huang is seriously injured, Huang Zirui is captured, the Jiangxia army has suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the army is in chaos."

"How can we resist Liu Bei?"

Kuai Jun was in a panic, screaming and looking at Kuai Yue anxiously.

His nephew's exclamation was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, weighing heavily on Kuai Yue's almost collapsed spirit.

"what--"

Kuai Yue screamed in pain, his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"uncle!"

"Kuai Beijia!"

The government hall was in chaos.

...

To the west of Chaisang, pheasants are found.

After withdrawing from Xise, the 40,000 Jiangdong troops retreated a hundred miles downstream and set up camp here.

Sun Ce did not retreat to Chaisang all at once, but stationed his troops there and watched the battle in Jiangxia.

On the Shuiying Pier, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were fishing.

Zhou Yu's fish basket was already full, including many big and fat fish.

However, there were only a few fish in Sun Ce's fish basket, pitifully few.

"There's fish!"

Zhou Yu showed a look of delight and hurriedly put away his fishing rod.

Another big catch was put into the basket.

Sun Ce looked at him with red eyes and couldn't help but complain:

"This fishing is really boring. I've been sitting here for a long time, but these stupid fish just won't take the bait. I won't fish any more!"

Sun Ce lost his patience and simply threw the fishing rod to the ground.

"Don't worry, Bofu. Fishing is just like the current situation. You must be patient enough."

"If you can be patient, you will catch a big fish. If you can stay calm, you will be able to grab Jiang Xia."

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce was worried about the situation in Jiangxia, which was why he was upset, so he smiled and comforted him.

Sun Ce's worries were seen through, and he looked a little embarrassed.

So he picked up the fishing rod again, pretended to fish again, but said:
"Gongjin, you're overthinking. I'm not upset about the battle in Jiangxia."

"I just think that Huang Zu is just a name for nothing. If he fails to stop Liu Bei and Liu Bei seizes Xiakou, wouldn't our plan of sitting back and reaping the benefits become a joke?"

Zhou Yu calmly put down his pole and said calmly:

"Huang Zu is indeed just a name in vain. The so-called number one water general in the world is just a boast."

"Although Huang Zu's military talent is mediocre, the Jiangxia navy under his command is well-known. It is not an exaggeration to call it the strongest navy in Jingzhou."

"Even if Huang Zu can't defeat Liu Bei's navy, he can at least fight them on equal terms and prevent Liu Bei from controlling the water rights of the Yangtze River."

"I expect that after the two of them test each other and have their own victories and defeats, they will enter a stalemate."

"Now is the time for us to seize the opportunity to move westward and seize Xiakou in one fell swoop!"

Zhou Yu's eyes were not only on the river, but he was talking nonstop, analyzing the situation for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's worries were thus dispelled, and he laughed:
"Gongjin is right. Even if Huang Zu is useless, he can't be defeated in a water battle against Liu Bei."

"Okay, I won't let my imagination run wild anymore. I'm going to get serious next time."

"Gongjin, I won't lose to you!"

Sun Ce sat up straight, focused on fishing, and prepared to compete with Zhou Yu.

When the sound of horse hooves rang out, Pan Zhang came galloping and dismounted from his horse.

"My lord, Xiakou is reporting the secret!"

"Liu Bei defeated Jiangxia's army at the Yangtze and Han rivers. Huang Zu was seriously injured and unconscious, and his son Huang She was captured!"

"Liu Bei's two armies have cleared the way and are heading straight for Xiakou!"

Two fishing rods fell into the river at the same time.
