Chapter 691 The emperor's uncle came here for fairness!
The night wind on the river blew and swayed the water waves.
Some of the noise caused by Zhao Hu and others before has gradually disappeared.
Some of the fireships that were stopped have been burned.
The remaining ships sank into the water.
The fire above has been extinguished.
But there were also some damaged ships, with some firelights flashing on them.
However, it already seems very small.
The smell of burning fireworks filled the air.
Among the big rivers, the water in some places is still red.
But at this time, this blood color also began to smudge and fade towards the surroundings.
In the end, it disappeared without a trace, completely blending into the river.
The surging river water rolled past, as if it could swallow up everything and take everything away.
Making the river calm again...
Gan Ning stood on the warship and looked at the river that had calmed down again. At the same time, he sent out a exploration ship to check further away.
No more thieves were found.
This made him shake his head with regret.
"These guys, they only sent so many people here, it's really not enough!"
When he said this, he seemed a little unwilling to do so.
Obviously he didn't have enough fun killing him.
After standing here and waiting for a while, Gan Ning finally returned to where he was with the steel fork in his hand.
Go to sleep.
As for Zhang Liao, when the commotion sounded, he opened his eyes and looked this way, then closed his eyes again and went to sleep.
He didn't think these people who came to harass and attack could achieve anything.
They can only be destroyed by them.
At this time, the war was over, and Zhang Liao had already been sleeping with the sound of snoring...
Downstream at Jingzhou Water Village, Cai Mao had not slept since Zhao Hu left.
It's not that I didn't sleep.
Instead, he tossed back and forth on the bed, unable to sleep. After suffering for a while, he simply got up and stopped sleeping.
Cai Hao walked in the camp for a while, and then came to the Red Snake Mountain.
Following his gaze, you could see some faint firelight flickering upstream in the night.
Calculating the time and looking at these fires, we can know that this must be Zhao Hu and others arriving at the camp of Zhang Liao and others upstream.
At this time, a sneak attack was being carried out on their camp.
Cai Hao couldn't help but clenched his fists.
This time, we must win!
If you want to win, then you can suddenly gain a great reputation!
At the same time, it will also be a great inspiration for the entire battle situation in Jingzhou against Liu Cheng.
It can very well break the fear among Jingzhou soldiers towards Liu Cheng's troops.
This will allow his soldiers to have a stronger fighting spirit when fighting Liu Cheng Navy in the future.
At the same time, it can also give the Cai family a greater say in Jingzhou!
He stood here watching, expecting the fire upstream to get bigger.
It’s best to be able to burn half the sky red!
However, after standing here and watching for a while, under his expectant gaze, there was always only so much firelight upstream.
And, as time goes by, these fires slowly become smaller and weaker...
Time passed slowly, and the river surged eastward.
The night becomes darker.
A few of the stars in the sky have also faded.
Under Cai Mao's gaze, the fire that brought him hope finally faded away completely.
It was like being wiped out by the surging river water.
He stood here and did not leave immediately, but just looked over there from a distance.
When all the lights disappeared, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Zhao Hu was defeated after all!
Some ambitions and good wishes that I carry.
They all disappeared completely as the fire went out.
Regardless of whether Zhao Hu died this time, for Cai Hao, it was no different from death!
He stood here, quietly looking over there for a while, and then shook his head.
He came down from Red Snake Mountain and returned to his camp.
I shouldn't have listened to what Zhao Hu said, and I lost a lot of warships and soldiers in vain.
The important thing is that not only was this battle not won, but it actually made the opponent more prestigious.
No matter how you calculate this, you will be at a loss this time.
This has already happened, and it is useless to talk about it.
You can only hide some things in your heart.
Not long after Cai Mao came back, Zhang Yun soon sent a clipper to inquire about the situation on the other side of the river...
Time passed quickly overnight.
After daylight, it doesn't seem to be much different from yesterday.
Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, and Tai Shi Ci continued to build water villages.
At the same time, some preparations were made to go downstream to attack.
There are water masters who perform exercises back and forth on the water.
On the one hand, it is to strengthen one's own reputation.
On the other hand, some pre-battle drills were conducted for the soldiers.
Prepare for the subsequent attack.
On several occasions, the warships arrived at a place not too far away from the iron cables blocking the river.
After some practice going back and forth there, I came back again.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun below were also not to be outdone, and also commanded some warships to dispatch from the water stronghold.
Over there through the iron lock, practice downstream.
A few iron cables across the river separate this place into two worlds.
On several occasions, when the warships were relatively close, some arrows were exchanged between the two sides.
However, because the distance was relatively long, only a few unlucky people were hit by arrows and lost their lives.
And this exercise was not without effect.
It can be said that the effect is great.
The reason why the effect is said to be very great does not mean that it really caused much damage to the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou.
It's because, in addition to conducting these drills, the Yizhou Navy also did some other things.
The dozen soldiers from Jingzhou led by Zhao Hu that night were released in public.
These are prisoners.
Moreover, someone shouted to Jingzhou.
"We are the soldiers of His Highness the King of Han. The King of Han is the emperor's uncle, and we are here to punish thieves under the emperor's order!
What it represents is the great righteousness of the world and the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty!
Liu Biao and Liu Jingzhou were named Jingzhou Mu, but in fact, they were independent there.
As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he did not want to repay his kindness to the Han Dynasty, nor did he want to contribute to the Han Dynasty. Instead, he raised troops here to resist the Heavenly Master and aided Zhou.
Help Yuan Shu, a rebellious man who openly proclaimed himself emperor!
This kind of behavior is no different from rebels!
You are the subjects of the Han Dynasty, not Liu Biao’s subjects!
They are the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, not Liu Biao’s soldiers!
The emperor's uncle has a good life and a broad layout.
When we come this time, the emperor's uncle will issue an order.
He said that you were just held hostage by Liu Biao, and that the fault of this incident lies with Liu Biao, not with your soldiers.
If I fight with you and others, it will still be my big Han who will die in the end.
Therefore, we should try our best to commit as little killing as possible.
On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight. If you come to fight, it is impossible for us not to fight back.
However, he will treat the captives kindly.
They will be released and the prisoners will not be killed.
After all, when you fight, you fight, and after the war, you return to the war. They cannot be confused with each other.
Your Highness, the King of Han, asked me to wait and tell you that we are all Han people.
It is not worth fighting among the Han people.
The big man is so messed up now!
We need to get back on track so that everyone can have an easier time.
If a war breaks out, you can't defeat us!
Please don't doubt this.
In the future battles, you must remember one sentence.
Must, must remember!
That means surrendering without killing!
As long as there is no resistance, there will be no bleeding.
And as long as you surrender, we will never kill you again!
Those who are captured will be released to you!"
There was a missionary with a loud voice, holding a big trumpet, standing on the warship, and kept shouting.
On these arms, the missionary officer with red cloth strips was tied, and he was very eloquent.
Although the words mentioned are not elegant words, there are no various quotations from scriptures.
However, what he said was very comfortable to listen to and had some contagious power.
The most important thing to fight is to attack the heart.
Not to mention that this time Liu Cheng went to war with great righteousness.
In this situation, he naturally has an advantage.
Therefore, it is natural to use his advantages as much as possible.
Use your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han also knows that many of you do not actually want to fight.
There are some people among you who want to fight.
Therefore, you can only come here to fight under their orders.
Became a rebellious person.
The emperor's uncle has something to say, let me come and tell you that there are only a handful of rebellious people and they have nothing to do with you.
Moreover, don't listen to those people who tell you how bad the emperor is.
I don’t know if there is anyone around you who has been to Guanzhong or Yizhou. If so, please ask them carefully.
Listen to what the real Guanzhong is like.
I also know what the life of the common people under the emperor's uncle is like.
After knowing that, I don't believe you will still have any hostility toward the emperor's uncle!
Your Majesty, the King of Han, is indeed strict with people.
However, it is those wealthy families who are right, those who invade your land and enslave you, not small people like us!
Wherever the emperor's soldiers and horses passed, they were doing justice and reshaping the world.
The big family in Jingzhou had to come to resist the emperor's uncle because the emperor's uncle would censor them after he came.
All the land they have occupied will be taken out and distributed to the poor for cultivation!
They will get rid of the large amount of money they have collected through improper channels!
They do too many shameful things in their daily lives!
So they were afraid that the emperor's uncle would come and that they would lose their wealth!
What’s more, I’m afraid that their things will come into the hands of slaves like you who never look at them and shout around!
You people must not listen to them!
You can't sacrifice your life for them!
When enjoying the glory and wealth, they did not think of you.
At this time, the emperor's uncle is here and wants to give you their glory and wealth and make you live like a human being. They are really anxious.
They want you to sacrifice your lives for them.
If you are working hard here, who will take care of your family's money?
As for other people, they should eat and drink.
will not be affected in any way.
On the contrary, if you die, no one will take care of your family, including your wife and children, and they will be turned into slaves!
Your farm products will also be harvested and taken away by others.
Why do you have to sacrifice your life for such people?
Really speaking, the emperor's uncle and we are in the same group.
His real enemies are these aristocratic families!
We are here to rescue you on the orders of the Emperor's uncle, so that you can live a life like human beings.
Don’t be a slave to these wealthy families anymore!”
These people are very loud and they keep saying this here.
Very inflammatory.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun originally didn't care at all about the methods Zhang Liao and the others used.
I feel extremely bored.
You don't even fight, you just get some fancy things.
Of little use.
But at this moment, as these people kept shouting and talking back and forth, they gradually became unable to sit still.
His face looked ugly.
These guys really deserve to die!
To actually say such a thing!
Doesn’t this mean digging up their roots?
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun really want these people to shut up and stop talking nonsense here.
I want to send troops and horses to fight and expel them.
But at this time, there was an iron chain across the river. Although it prevented the warships from upstream from coming down, it also prevented them from going up.
Originally, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were very confident in the method they came up with to cross the river with iron ropes.
Be proud of it.
But at this time, what they were proud of had actually become a fetter for them.
After shouting such words, Yizhou began to let people go.
As for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, their faces had already turned livid.
"Fire arrows and kill these people for me!"
Cai Mao gave the order directly.
The general next to him looked a little hesitant when he heard this.
"Captain, I'm afraid it might be a little uncomfortable to do this, right?"
Cai Mao said: "What's wrong?
Letting them come back will only disturb the morale of the army!
Moreover, from the looks of it, they might have been bribed by these damn Yizhou people.
Once they come back to cause chaos, the damage caused to our soldiers and horses will be huge!
At this time, you must not be lenient!
Tell them that they don’t have to worry about their families after they die, I, Cai Mao, will take care of them!"
After hearing Cai Mao's words, the general said no more.
Act according to Cai Mao's instructions.
Over in Yizhou, these dozen people have just been released.
Before these prisoners could return to the camp, they were shot dead by their own people...
