Chapter 596 (1/2)

On the surface of the Han River, there are still countless warships left behind by Jingzhou Navy. The rising flames make the river red.

Less than one-third of Jingzhou army's warships ended in dismay and left in confusion, leaving Nanyang army with only a back figure.

”Ha ha ha ha!”

Gan Ning stood on the bow of the boat and yelled to the Jingzhou Navy: ”Gan Ning is waiting here at any time. Governor CAI and general Wen must come back with respect.”

A faint hum could be heard from Jingzhou Navy warships. However, the Jingzhou army finally withdrew from the battlefield. Naturally, it was impossible to fight another battle with Nanyang army.

”Well done, xingba!”

Zhang jaw came down the river in a small boat, held the iron rope and climbed to the top of the river. He praised Gan Ning.

”General Zhang praises me falsely!” Gan Ning saw Zhang jaw and saluted in a hurry, but his eyes were filled with excitement: ”this time, our army's victory, the enemy warships were captured and burned more than two thirds, and the Jingzhou army was killed and wounded more than ten thousand.”

Zhang jaw nodded with satisfaction, patted Gan Ning on the shoulder, and solemnly said: ”if it was not for the Jinfan army under xingba's leadership to intercept the enemy, our army would never have won such a great victory this time. We would have shown our meritorious service to the general for xingba, and xingba would have served as the Marquis of a certain command first, how about that?”

Gan Ning excitedly bowed down: ”thank you, general!” His wish in his life is to show his strong points. It is just so-called that he can learn civil and military skills and sell them to the emperor's family. Now that he can serve in the imperial court, it would be better.

In June 196, Zhang jaw defeated the army of Jingzhou led by Cai Mao. More than two-thirds of the enemy ships were captured and sunk. Nearly half of the Jingzhou army was killed and wounded. They returned to Xinye in dismay. After a little rest, they were stationed in Fancheng.

Cai Mao ordered Wang Wei to take command of the army for the time being and take Cai Xun, Cai Zhong and others to Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang, the prefecture's Pastoral capital.

”Mao is ashamed that he was defeated by the enemy. He has come here to plead with Zhou mu.”

In the inner room, Cai Mao's upper body was naked, and he helped several thorns with hemp rope and tied them behind him.

”Hum! Cai Demi, you promised me that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao used troops against Liu Ye, and our army would be able to win Nanyang County. Now? ”

On the seat, a dignified middle-aged man looks at Cai Mao without expression, but his eyes are full of discontent.

”Zhou Mu! Mao knows his guilt and asks the state shepherd to spare him. This time, Mao must take Nanyang back for Zhou mu. ”

It turns out that the middle-aged man sitting on the throne is no one else, it is the Mu Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Before Liu Biao appointed Cai Mao as the commander in chief and led the 40000 army to recover Nanyang. However, Cai Mao was defeated at the expense of others. Therefore, Liu Biao was more dissatisfied with CAI Mao.

Cai Mao's face was cold and sweaty. He bowed his head and worshipped him. He did not dare to speak.

But a curtain in the inner room was lifted slightly, revealing half a woman's face. Seeing Cai Mao kneeling on the ground, he sighed, and then came out.

”Xianggong, winning or losing is a common thing in the military family. My brother's defeat is not because he is unwilling to do his best. You and I are a family. Do you dare not lead the army with your heart?”

Liu Biao turned his head and looked at the woman who came out and snorted: ”hum, the herdsmen of this state naturally know. If he intends to lose the battle, Mu Fei of this state can not recall him. ”

This woman is Cai Mao's younger sister and married Liu Biao as his concubine. Seeing his sister come out, Cai Mao was slightly pleased, still did not look up.
