I don’t know if Lao Cao particularly dislikes Erwuzi, who came from aristocratic families?
Since taking over most of the power in Jingzhou, he has no good expression on Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
Just think about it and understand...
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, as the chief and second in command of the Jingzhou naval army, have an extraordinary background and are deeply trusted by the late Jingzhou governor Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng.
It can be said that the Cai family where Cai Mao is located reached its peak during the period when Liu Biao was in Jingzhou.
But that's it. When Liu Biao died and Cao's army attacked, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun couldn't wait to instigate the new leader of Jingzhou Liu Cong to surrender, without any sign of resistance.
Damn, as a military general whom Liu Jingsheng relied on at the time, can he show some backbone?
Lao Cao would not sigh with any sadness. But as a father with children, he would never like things like Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
If the Jingzhou navy had not been unable to do without the command of these two people, he would have probably been found by Lao Cao to solve the problem, which was annoying.
Unexpectedly, the Jiangdong Grand Governor and veteran Huang Gai played the trick of "willing to fight and beating", which made Lao Cao happy to win a Jiangdong veteran.
You should know that Huang Gai had a very old experience. Even during the eighteen princes of the 18th Route Army, he was a general under Sun Jian and had met Lao Cao.
Even if he is a mediocre general who can fight against Dong from the eighteen princes to this day, he is a mediocre person with extremely rich experience in commanding troops.
Not to mention, Huang Gai is the important general who assisted Sun Ce and Sun Quan and dominated Jiangdong. How could he be a mediocre person?
He is a first-class general, and with years of experience in fighting, he can definitely be called a "long-time general".
His experience in water warfare is no worse than Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and he will only be stronger.
Moreover, when Huang Gai arrived, he provided Lao Cao with a suggestion that suited his wishes: the iron ship crossed the river!
What kind of iron chains are connected to the ship, but there are slags in front of the iron ship's suggestions.
Didn’t the Cao army not know the nature of water? Then use ships to build a floating bridge across the Yangtze River and directly run through iron cables to stabilize it. At that time, the elite Cao army’s army can directly pass through the floating bridge and rush to the eastern border of the Yangtze River.
Lao Cao was ashamed of this suggestion, so he naturally looked down on the Jingzhou Navy, who had lost consecutive battles with the Jiangdong Navy.
Then, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun completely fell out of favor...
It was not welcomed at all, so Lao Cao found an opportunity and directly chopped off both of them, and by the way, he dealt with the great families of Jingzhou and asked them to be honest and obedient.
When the news reached the prefect of Jiangxia, Liu Qi just smiled slightly, looking like he knew it would have been so good that his subordinates were curious and inquired.
"What's so strange about this?"
"No matter who becomes the lord of Jingzhou in the future, no one who is a lord like Cai Mao and Zhang Yun can tolerate a high position!"
"By the way, you can knock and weaken the power of the Jingzhou family. What's so strange about this?"
"Prime Minister Cao has many talents, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the Cai and Zhang family. Could it be that the Jingzhou family dares to die and be sad? "
After some words, the civil and military officials of the prefect looked at each other, and they felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox was so sad.
Liu Qi doesn't care about the mood of his subordinates. As long as they follow the rules and do things honestly, they will do it, and there is no hope for anything else.
In this era when aristocratic families were in power, it would be meaningless to think too much.
Besides, Lao Cao got the suggestion of the iron ship crossing the river and immediately began to implement it, and put on an attitude of needing to annex Jiangdong.
Lao Cao also made a big move and directly used all the Jingzhou Navy's ships and laid three floating bridges fixed by iron cables.
Then, tens of thousands of elite soldiers rushed toward the opposite Jiangdong territory through the floating bridge.
At this time, the Jiangdong navy, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly broke out...
The war in the Gaowu world and the ordinary world are all two concepts.
The dark clouds rolled and the wind roared, and the wind rolled up layers of waves like a knife, almost blowing away the Cao army soldiers on the floating bridge.
Cao's army, who had crossed the bridge, was full of military aura, and directly penetrated a big hole in the rolling dark clouds, and the dazzling sunlight shot down from the cloud cave.
Tornadoes connecting the sky and the earth, like loyal guards, guarding in front of three iron ships across the river, isolating the strong wind and waves like swords.
The Cao army masters who temporarily improved their cultivation with the help of military energy flew over and out loud, fierce and domineering sword and gun energy, instantly crossing hundreds of feet away, bombing warships wrapped in military energy continuously.
Rotate in the river.
More than 100,000 elite soldiers of Cao's army passed through three floating bridges made of cross-river ships. The soldiers walking in the front were almost reaching the boundary of Jiangdong.
But at this moment, the Jiangdong Navy took out its killer weapon - the Fire Dragon Talismanship!
This is a treasure left over from the Qi training era.
Two fire dragon talisman ships instantly crossed hundreds of miles of river at an astonishing speed as lightning. They were still more than ten miles away, and suddenly spewed out two long fire dragons.
The fire dragon is amazingly powerful. The air is distorted wherever it passes. Even the cold river water burns, and instantly turns into white mist rising.
The tornado firmly guarded the Hengjiang chain iron ships and dissipated instantly when it encountered a fire dragon.
As for the sword and gun energy waved by the masters of Cao's army, they could not even get close to the fire dragon.
Then, two fire dragons with fierce temperatures and terrifying power directly ignited the Hengjiang chain iron ships.
It seemed as if gasoline had been sprinkled in advance, the Hengjiang iron ship lit by the talisman ship fire dragon melted in the blink of an eye, and two huge flames swept across the left and right sides.
The hundreds of thousands of Cao troops who were on the floating bridge were swallowed by the sudden blazing flames before they even had time to react.
The floating bridge made of three cross-river iron ships has now turned into three huge fire dragons connecting the two sides of the Yangtze River, with an amazing momentum.
Lao Cao and a group of confidant advisers stood on the wall of the water village. Seeing the three fire dragons that were instantly swallowed, their faces became very ugly.
"Hurry, go and put out the fire!"
"Prime Minister, it's too late!"
"Bastard, Huang Gai, Jiangdong actually has treasures like the Fire Dragon Talismanship. Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"The Prime Minister is not good, Huang Gai has already run away in the chaos!"
Lao Cao shook his body and almost fell to the ground, which caused the counselors around him to exclaim and rushed forward to support him.
When Lao Cao saw the three floating bridges that were swallowed by the fire dragon in the blink of an eye, as well as the soldiers on the floating bridge with panic on it, he felt resentful.
This time, he was cheated!
Huang Gai actually surrendered. Don’t expect any good endings from the three chain iron ships of Hengjiang and the dozen elite soldiers on it just now.
"Bastard, this time I'm a little different trick. I'll tell Jiangdong that he won't die well next time!"
As he said that, he took his advisers around him down the watchtower. It would be better to prepare for the situation in an emergency...
