Chapter 447

Although he is only a water bandit, he has an army of no less than thirty thousand under his command.

Over the years, Huang Zu often sent troops to fight Qu Xing.

With the elite of the Jiangxia Water Army, the group of unranked water bandits under Qu Xing are naturally not their opponents.

But this fellow Qu Xing is very cunning.

Every time he encounters Huang Zu's suppression, Qu Xing scatters his army and orders the small leaders under his command to take them and flee in different directions.

This led to the fact that although Huang Zu's strength is far superior to Qu Xing's.

But he has no way to get rid of Qu Xing.

Nowadays.

The news that Qu Xing took advantage of the absence of the main Jiangxia Water Army to attack Jiangxia made Huang Zu feel deeply convinced.

Furthermore, this is a letter sent by Pan Jun himself.

How could what is said in the letter be wrong?

"Forget it, this general should return to Jiangxia."

"Otherwise, if this Qu Xing really captures Jiangxia, everything this general has done will be in vain."

In the end, Huang Zu didn't dare to gamble.

After some thinking.

He divided his troops into two.

One part stayed in Xiakou, and the other part returned to Jiangxia with him.

……

However.

When Huang Zu returned to Jiangxia with his men.

He found that there was no such thing as Qu Xing attacking Jiangxia at all!

Furious, he rushed to confront Pan Jun.

As a result, he was killed by the sword-and-axe men Pan Jun had ambushed in advance.

Externally, Pan Jun claimed that Huang Zu died of a violent illness.

And after Huang Zu died.

Su Fei quickly took over the part of the water army Huang Zu brought back to Jiangxia in the capacity of "Huang Zu's deputy general."

Su Fei is kind-hearted.

Although his prestige in the army cannot catch up to Huang Zu, most soldiers love Su Fei.

At this moment, naturally, no troublemaker jumped out to obstruct Su Fei from taking over military power.

Furthermore.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Huang Zu did not inform everyone of the news of Qu Xing attacking Jiangxia.

That is to say, the soldiers didn't know at all why Huang Zu suddenly returned to Jiangxia from Xiakou.

At this moment.

Huang Zu died of a violent illness, although it caused doubts in their hearts.

But under Su Fei's appeasement, most soldiers accepted the statement that "Huang Zu died of a violent illness."

Subsequently.

An even more flamboyant operation came!

In order not to let Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and others in Xiangyang detect flaws.

Su Fei continued to follow Huang Zu's orders, going to Xiakou to order the Jiangxia Water Army to keep everything as usual.

That is to say.

Even if Liu Biao and others realized that there was something strange about Huang Zu's death.

They would never replace Su Fei, a deputy general of Huang Zu with considerable seniority, at the critical moment of the upcoming war.

Even if they wanted to insert a new person in the identity of Jiangxia Administrator, they would only do it after the war ended.

Just like this, Su Fei, with Pan Jun's help, quickly took over the military power Huang Zu had in his hands before his death.

Of course.

This series of plans was not something that could be thought of by Pan Jun alone.

What he relied on was the brocade bag Gu Yi secretly sent to him.

……

And when Pan Jun and Su Fei were plotting to finish off Huang Zu.

Gu Yi also took the ninety thousand troops under his command and embarked on the road of crossing the Yangtze River to launch a southern expedition to Jiangdong.

There are a total of forty-five thousand Jiangdong water troops deployed by Liu Bei on the Niuzhu defense line.

The three leading generals are Chen Wu, Ling Cao, and Dong Xi.

After learning the news that Gu Yi had started crossing the river.

The three generals immediately chose to shrink the defense line.

Attempting to rely on various military equipment deployed in advance on the banks of the Yangtze River to resist Gu Yi.

After all.

For the three generals, their purpose was not to defeat Gu Yi, but just to block Gu Yi.

Because of the full preparations made in advance.

Plus the full support of the Jiangdong aristocratic families as logistics nurses.

The Niuzhu defense line, under the garrison of the three generals Chen Wu, Ling Cao, and Dong Xi, can be called solid as a rock.

In such a situation.

Gu Yi naturally wouldn't let the generals and soldiers under his command go to attack this defense line in vain.

Senseless sacrifice, in Gu Yi's view, was completely unnecessary.

Thus.

Gu Yi simply played "house" with the three generals Chen Wu, Ling Cao, and Dong Xi.

Not in a hurry to break this Niuzhu defense line.

In the blink of an eye.

Seven days had passed.

Seeing that the Niuzhu defense line was still solid as a rock.

The three generals Chen Wu, Ling Cao, and Dong Xi could be called "expanding day by day"!

The world says Gu Gu Gu Linzhi is difficult to deal with.

But in the eyes of the three generals, Gu Yi is just a clown who can't break the Niuzhu defense line, not worth worrying about!

Just like this.

The three generals even started to send soldiers under their command to take the initiative to attack, hoping to kill some generals and soldiers under Gu Yi to expand their military merits.

However.

When the three of them took the initiative to send soldiers to attack Gu Yi.

They suffered a heavy blow!

The three thousand Brocade Sail Thieves under Gan Ning.

And the three thousand Camp-Crushing Battalion under Gao Shun who were already proficient in water warfare.

Like devils, they harvested the lives of the invaders one by one!

Until this moment.

The three generals Chen Wu, Ling Cao, and Dong Xi finally woke up like a dream.

They hurriedly stopped actively provoking Gu Yi.

Honestly guarding their own Yangtze River defense line.

This is called the typical "not remembering the lesson if not beaten."

If it weren't for other plans.

Plus the fear of the soldiers under his command paying senseless losses.

I am afraid Gu Yi would have long ago ordered Gan Ning and Gao Shun to take the Brocade Sail Thieves and the Camp-Crushing Battalion to go ashore to shave those three generals!

But even so.

The good days of those three generals will also come to an end in a few days.
