Zhou Yu was preparing hard, but in the face of the powerful deterrence of the Wei army, the Wu army still showed symptoms of Wei's fear of Wei's disease.

The Wu army head-on, facing the Wei army, inevitably thought of the previous defeat and Sun Ce's death, and was afraid of the war.

As time goes by, deserters even occurred in major military camps.

In response to this phenomenon, in addition to killing deserters from major military camps, Zhou Yu also came up with a solution.

The generals of the army showed the suicide notes they wrote to their families, and then burned them in front of the soldiers and delivered a passionate speech to inspire morale.

Then Lu Fan arranged people to spread rumors in the army that Guo Peng would usurp the throne and become emperor. If he lost this battle, the Han Dynasty would be gone. As the defender of the Han Empire, the Wu army would definitely be settled by Guo Pengqiu.

If he loses, Guo Peng will kill everyone in Jiangdong and will never accept surrender. This was what Guo Peng took before sending troops to the north.

All their private property and all their families will become Guo Peng's, and they will be deprived of everything and become pathetic slaves.

At the same time, Lu Fan ordered that all the Wu banners in the army be replaced with Han, proclaiming that the Wu army was fighting for the Han Empire and defending the Han Empire.

Not to mention, the effect is really good. A strange emotion gradually spreads into the Wu army camp along the river.

As a result, the number of deserters decreased, and the fighting will of the Wu army became high, and they were no longer so afraid of the Wei army, so they would not have fled in panic before they even fought.

Only when the morale of the army is stable can there be hope for victory.

During this period, Zhou Yu never gave up asking for help from Liu Biao. He always asked Liu Biao to send troops to help. Otherwise, once the Wu Kingdom perished, the next one would be him Liu Jingsheng.

Although Liu Biao was afraid of Guo Peng Bingfeng, after thinking about it, he felt that what Zhou Yu said made sense.

The two sides have a relationship of losing their lips and cold teeth. If Guo Peng destroys Sun Wu, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous?

At that time, Jingzhou faces enemies three times. Once Guo Peng launches an attack, he will almost be defeated. How can he become the local emperor?

It would undoubtedly be the best if the current situation could be maintained.

Since the Wei army had decided to destroy Wu, Liu Biao had to go out to fight against the Wei army.

So in this situation, in mid-June, Liu Biao ordered the prefect of Jiangxia Huang Zu, to wait for an opportunity to lead the army to attack Lujiang, so as to share the pressure for Sun Wu.

Huang Zu saw that Guo Peng was unhappy for a long time and had always been a staunch anti-Guo faction. Now he had the opportunity and was very happy. He felt that he should show off his strength no matter what, so he rectified the army and prepared to go down the river to support the Wu army.

Just as Huang Zu was preparing for it, when he was about to set off, Liu Biao's backyard caught fire.

Three counties in the four counties in Jingnan resisted Liu Biao's rule under the leadership of Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, and announced that they would recognize Guo Peng's rule over them and would return to the Han Empire, not under Liu Biao's rule.

Lingling County and Guiyang County responded to Zhang Xian. The three counties gathered more than 30,000 troops and stationed troops in Changsha, preparing to cross the Yangtze River to attack Jiangling in the north, so as to surrender to Guo Peng.

This happened very suddenly, disrupting Liu Biao's overall plan. Liu Biao quickly ordered Huang Zu to stop taking action for the time being, and he had more important things to do.

He can't bear it when he starts to fight at both ends.

And just as soon as this was the fierce battle to destroy Wu officially started.

On June 28, the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao sent people across the river to Moling to send Sun Quan and Zhou Yu the last document of persuasion to surrender, and persuaded Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to surrender, but refused harshly.

Previously, Zhang Liao also sent a letter of surrender to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu twice in accordance with Guo Peng's order. He persuaded them to surrender, but they also refused.

After the third rejection, there was no room for negotiation.

On the first day of July of the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao issued an order, Yu Jin, Xu Huang and Zang Ba's three armies agreed on the time and launched an attack almost at the same time.

They ordered the navy, mixed with large and small boats, to cross the Yangtze River and start to launch a fierce attack on the Wu army, and the battle to destroy Wu officially began.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, was really not led by Guo.

Guo himself only later learned that Zhang Xian was in trouble, but he didn't know why Zhang Xian had a cramp in his head and had to resist Liu Biao at this time.

And he has to use his banner.

Are you showing kindness to him?

Even the local Linzi camp spies in Jingzhou were confused about this, not knowing what Zhang Xian’s brain circuit was going on.

In fact, it is well known to the people of Jingzhou that Zhang Xian and Liu Biao are not dealing with each other, and the subtle relationship between the four counties in Jingnan and the three counties in Jingbei is also well known to the locals.

But no one knows why Zhang Xian raised his troops to rebel at this time.

Maybe it is because the two often have conflicts and often argue with each other. Such behavior makes everyone think that even if Zhang Xian rebels, it is normal?

But no matter what, Zhang Xian helped Guo Peng.

Because of his rebellion and rebellion, Liu Biao's reinforcement plan was stranded. Liu Biao had no choice but to start mobilizing a large number of troops to gather in Jiangling, preparing to go south to quell the rebellion.

It was a coincidence that the battle to destroy Wu began at this time.

After the battle in Hefei, Zhang Liao also began to train his soldiers to fight on the water.

After occupying the Huainan land, a large number of water systems in the Huainan land could facilitate the training of the naval army, so Zhang Liao used these water systems on a large scale to practice the army's water combat effectiveness, and also paid attention to storing local people with good water properties to join the army to enhance the combat effectiveness of the water.

The effect is quite good. At least the Wei army can also use a considerable and decent water offensive at present.

And this time, the Wei army still has an advantage.

Faced with the fierce water offensive of the Wei army, the Wu army decisively launched a counterattack.

The Wu army had been tense for a long time, but now the Wei army finally launched an attack, and the Wu army immediately resisted.

The generals of the Wu army ordered the army to carry boats to meet the enemy, and used high-speed maneuvering groups of warships to counterattack the Wei army's warships. The two sides carried out fierce battles on the shore and fought hard on the water.

In ancient times, the main methods of water warfare were bows and arrows shooting, impact warfare and jump gang warfare. Before hot weapons were popularized, water warfare was mainly bows and arrows.

The navy on the ship is divided into combat soldiers, archers, shipmen, and fighting soldiers are responsible for defense and jumping gang fighting after the ship is approaching, with swords, shields and spears, while the archers are responsible for long-range attacks, bows and crossbows, while the ship is in charge of the advance and retreat of the ship, and presides over the collision battle through skillful ship driving techniques.

Before the Jump Gang battle, it is usually a side-to-side impact battle. During the impact battle, the ship has an advantage.

In this battle, because he was afraid of the Wei army's catapults to launch a strike on the Wu army's warships, and even more afraid of the Wei army's installation of the catapults on large building ships, Zhou Yu gave up on the use of large and slow ships to fight and instead used small and high-speed ships.

In this way, the catapult is indeed useless, but the Wu army also lost the advantage of the big ship.

The Wu army dared not use it, but the Wei army dared to use it.

In impact battles, the big ship has an advantage.

Zhang Liao trained a group of capable shipbuilders to recruit Ding Zhuang, who was good at shipbuilding in Huainan area, and then carried a large armed warship to hit the Wu army's boat.

There must be an advantage when a large ship hits a small boat. When it hits, the Wei soldiers will use crossbow arrows on the ship to shoot the soldiers on the Wu army, causing them great damage.

At the beginning, the large ships of the Wei army caused great trouble to the small warship community of the Wu army, and many small ships of the Wu army were sunk.
