Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

On the surface of the Hanshui River, there are still countless warships left by the Jingzhou Navy burning, and the rising flames brighten the surface of the river.

However, less than one-third of the remaining warships of the Jingzhou Army ended sadly, leaving in embarrassment, leaving only the back of the Nanyang Army.

"Hahaha!"

Standing on the bow of the ship, Gan Ning shouted to the Jingzhou navy: "Gan Ning is here at any time. Governor Cai and General Wen must come back again!"

Vaguely, a cold snort could be heard from the Jingzhou navy battleship, but the Jingzhou army finally withdrew from the battlefield, naturally it was impossible to fight the Nanyang army again.

"Good job, Xingba!"

Sitting on a small boat, Zhang Jaw came down the river, holding the iron cable and climbing to the stern, and praised Gan Ning.

"General Zhang is absurd!" Gan Ning saw Zhang jaws and hurriedly saluted, but his eyes were filled with excitement: "This time our army's victory, the enemy warship was captured and burned more than two-thirds, Jingzhou The army was killed and injured over ten thousand."

Zhang Jai nodded in satisfaction, patted Gan Ning's shoulder, and solemnly said: "If Xingba had not led the Jinfan army to stop the enemy with all his strength this time, our army would never have achieved such a major victory. It would have been Xingba. When the Ba is demonstrating his merits to the general, Xing Ba first served as a military commander under a certain command, how about?"

Gan Ning bowed in excitement: "Thanks to the general!" What he wanted in his life was to show his strengths. As the saying goes, he learned the arts and martial arts and sold to the emperor's family. Now that he can serve the court, it is naturally better.

In June 196, Zhang Jai defeated the Jingzhou land and water army led by Cai Hao. The captives sank more than two-thirds of the enemy ship. Nearly half of the Jingzhou army was killed and injured. He retreated to Xinye dingyly, and stationed in Fancheng after a short rest.

Cai Hao ordered Wang Wei to lead the army temporarily, and he took Cai Xun and Cai Zhong to go to Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang, Zhou Mufu.

"Ashamed, I was defeated by the enemy, and I am here to plead with the state shepherd!"

In the inner room, Cai Hao was naked, and he used hemp rope to help a few wattles tied behind him, which turned out to be a plea.

"Huh! Cai Degui, you promised me that both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao used troops against Liu Ye, and our army would be able to take down Nanyang County. What about now?"

A very imposing middle-aged man in the seat looked at Cai Tao blankly, but his eyes showed dissatisfaction.

"Zhou Mu! Xie is guilty, please spare Xie Zhou Mu this time, Xie must retake Nanyang for Zhou Mu."

It turned out that the middle-aged man who was sitting on top of the main seat was not someone else, and it was Jingzhou Mu Liubiao. Before Liu Biao appointed Cai Hao as the governor, and commanded a 40,000 land and water army to regain Nanyang, but Cai Hao had lost his army, so Liu Biao became more dissatisfied with Cai Hao.

With a cold sweat on Cai Tao's face, he lowered his head, admiring himself and dared not speak.

But a door curtain in the inner room was gently lifted, revealing half of a woman's face. Seeing Cai Hao kneeling on the ground, he sighed, and then walked out.

"Msang Gong, victory or defeat is a common matter in the military, and my brother's defeat is not because of his reluctance to do his best. You and I are a family. How dare Degui lead his troops without heart?"

Liu Biao turned his head and glanced at the woman who came out and snorted: "Huh, Honshu Mu naturally knows. If Degui intends to defeat the war, Honshu Mu must dismiss him."

This woman is Cai Hao's sister, married to Liu Biao as a concubine. Seeing her sister walked out, Cai Hao was slightly happy, but still did not look up.

"Xiangong, my brother is defeated this time, he must be brave and diligent in the future. He is also your eldest brother-in-law, don't you feel bad?" Cai said softly: "Brother is so sincere, so please forgive him."

Although Liu Biao is quite generous, he can't stand Chua's soft and hard foam. He loves Chua's beautiful-looking Chua very much.

"Nevertheless, Degui was defeated. If there is no punishment, how will Benzhou Mu in the future command the millions of soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou?" Liu Biao frowned.

"Hmph! I knew that you didn't love me at all." Cai pouted: "You don't want to punish my brother, you obviously don't like me."

"Oh, you..." Liu Biao sighed and thought about it for a while, "No matter, Degui, get up. Naturally, this defeat has to be expressed. It will be fined for half a year and will not be able to be confined for three days, you know?"

Cai Hao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly raised his head: "Thank you, Zhou Mu, I will definitely go home to reflect deeply, and in the future, we will reinforce Nanyang again!"

Cai Hao is the patriarch of the Cai clan, a wealthy clan in Jingzhou. In Jingzhou’s fertile fields, his annual income is unknown, not to mention that he is fined for half a year. Even if he is fined for a lifetime, it’s nothing.

"In that case, Hao retire."

Cai Hao slowly straightened up, took off the thorns from his body, put on his clothes and walked out.

Liu Biao sighed and didn't say a word, while Cai was content to give Liu Biao a salute, and then retreated into the inner room.

Not long after Cai Hao went out, someone immediately reported back: "Zhou Mu, Mr. Zirou is here."

"Zi Rou is here?" Liu Biao lifted his spirits upon hearing the words, "Hurry up and invite Zi Rou in."

A middle-aged scholar who was about forty years old, with white hair, and well-maintained walked into the interior room, bowed to Liu Biao, and said, "Quai Liang has seen Zhou Mu."

"Zi Rou don't need to be polite." Liu Biao's attitude towards Cai Hong and Kuai Liang was completely different, and he smiled and said, "Quick, give a seat."

The waiter had brought the cushions, and Kuai Liang sat down slowly: "Thank you, Zhou Mu."

"What's the matter with Zi Rou?"

"Quaumou heard that Governor Cai is back, and is leading a group of defeated generals?" Kuailiang said straight to the point.

Liu Biao nodded and sighed: "Yes, this kid Degui was defeated by the enemy, and many soldiers were damaged."

Kuailiang reluctantly said: "Dare to ask Zhou Mu, how many people did Cai Degui lost in Jingzhou? How many warships did Cai Degui lose?"

Liu's surface changed slightly: "Soldiers died and injured more than 10,000 people, and more than half of them were lost."

Kuailiang suddenly frowned, and said with dissatisfaction: "Cai Hao boasted that he went to Haikou, but now he is ruining more than ten thousand soldiers and soldiers in Jingzhou. I don't know how the state shepherd is going to punish this serious crime?

The Kuai family and the Cai family are both one of the wealthy families in Jingzhou, and they have deep interest in each other. Therefore, Kuailiang naturally came to attack when he heard about it. Although he was selfish, he did have good reasons.

"...Henzhou Mu has fined him for half a year and banned him for three days, how about?"

"What?" Kui Liang was taken aback and didn't dare to say anything: "Cai Hao caused my thousands of soldiers in Jingzhou to die, but now he has only been fined three years of salary. This is simply!"

However, Kuailiang found that Liu Biao's face had become gloomy, and immediately realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly explained: "I dare not offend Zhou Mu."
