Liu Hu left happily. Liu Jing was about to go to the military camp when a loud horn suddenly came from a distance.

The sound of trumpets rang across the river, and soldiers stood by the wall and looked into the distance. They saw a fleet of several large ships sailing towards the Caohe River, with sails flying and overwhelming.

The fleet that transported food and supplies came back, which caused cheers from the people of the boats around him. Liu Jing suddenly thought of his kerosene and walked quickly down the city.

On the last dozen large ships, special supplies were transported. The ship was loaded with rounded altars. The edges of the altars were covered with a lot of black viscous liquid, most of which had been dried by the river wind and turned into a layer of black dry shell. They could be pinched into powder.

This is the ship that specializes in transporting tinder oil for Liu Jing. Of course, it is crude oil that has not been refined yet. Even so, this oil can be burned and used for military purposes.

"Sima, I promise not to drink a single jar." Liao Hua shouted loudly to Liu Jing, who was standing on the shore.

Liu Jing laughed, and he found that there was also a humorous side in Liao Hua's bones. When the big ship approached the shore, Liu Jing jumped onto the big ship.

Liao Hua came up and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Meet Sima"

Liu Jing helped Liao Hua up and praised him for his efforts to combat the bandits. In fact, Liao Hua took action and only the bandits in Yangxin County surrendered. However, when Huang Zu peeked at Chaisang, the bandits played a crisis of bandits trapping Yangxin County under Liao Hua's arrangement.

This time, the upcoming Jiangdong Army attacked Chaisang in the second attack, and Liu Jing transferred Liao Hua back. Liao Hua's ability to defend the city was indeed good. The last time he defended the Jiangdong Army left a deep impression on Liu Jing.

However, Liao Hua also has a weakness, which is that he is better at drinking, which is a habit he developed when he was the Left King of Jiangxia.

Liu Jing stepped forward and lifted the fire cloth. Under the fire cloth was a jar of neatly packed crude oil. These jars were originally jars containing wine and pickled vegetables, and every household had them. Soon, tens of thousands of such jars were collected.

Liao Hua patted the zoo and sighed: "It's a pity that it's not wine. It would be great if more than a dozen ships were loaded with wine."

"Jiu can't help us defeat the Jiangdong army. These black guys are much better than ji. You will know when the fierce battle is over."

Liao Hua smiled, "If it can help us defeat Anxi Army, I will not drink alcohol from now on, and I will drink it specifically."

"A real man's words are as good as he can't pursue him." Liu Jing looked at Liao Hua with a smile.

Liao Hua scratched his head, he was just a joke, how could he drink this thing? "Sima, you can't drink alcohol, but you can avoid drinking this thing."

"My brothers, please listen to me," Liu Jing shouted loudly.

Dozens of soldiers from nearby ships walked to the side of the ship and stared at Liu Jing. Liu Jing pointed at Liao Hua and shouted loudly: "General Liao just swears that if he defeated the Jiangdong Army this time, he will never drink anymore. Please give me a proof."

The soldiers burst into laughter and some soldiers shouted: "Don't worry, General Liao dares to drink secretly, we will complain immediately."

Everyone laughed louder, Liu Jing patted Liao Hua's shoulder, his eyes laughed into a crack, "Brothers, you have high expectations for you."

Liao Hua lowered his head. He actually knew that Liu Jing was helping him quit drinking. He bit his lip and suddenly raised his head and said, "I can promise that as long as I defeated the Jiangdong Army, I, Liao Hua, will never drink a drop of wine."

"very good"

Liu Jing looked into Liao Hua's eyes and said, "Liao Yuanjian has always been a person with a promise of a thousand gold. I look forward to you fulfilling your promise."

.........

At this time, a small boat rushed towards him. A general stood at the bow of the boat. He was tall and burly. It was Gan Ning. He suddenly saw Liu Jing on the big boat and hurriedly said loudly: "Sima, I'm just looking for you."

Gan Ning jumped onto the big ship, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "See Sima"

In fact, Gan Ning was also named Sima of another unit by Liu Biao, but Gan Ning, the official named by Liu Biao, did not take it seriously. He valued Liu Jing more. Like Wei Yan, Liao Hua and others, Gan Ning also bet his future and destiny on Liu Jing. When facing the superior forces of Jiangdong, Liu Jing's indomitableness, neither humble nor arrogant, deeply praised him and convinced him.

But unlike Wei Yan, Liao Hua and others, Gan Ning had his own subordinate, who had been with him for many years, with about six people, and Liu Jing also agreed that Gan Ning had his own music department.

Liu Jing stepped forward and helped him up and smiled, "It's not a war time, just perform ordinary rituals, there's no need to be so cumbersome."

Gan Ning stood up and said solemnly: "There are superiors and inferiors, and etiquette is the rule. Sima cannot tolerate his subordinates."

Gan Ning's advice made Liu Jing feel a little grateful. He smiled and said, "Go and talk later."

The two came to the back cabin, where the crew rested. There was a window on the bulkhead and a small table. The two sat down opposite each other. A soldier served them tea. Gan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "I have a plan, I'll come and suggest it to Sima."

"you say"

"Yesterday, a brother came from Pengze and told me a news that the Jiangdong Army's Pengze Dazhai warships were insufficient. I estimate that the maximum number of troops was 1,000. Sima, this is an opportunity."

Liu Jing pondered and said for a long time: "Actually, I have considered it, but Pengze's military camp has a tight defense and may not be easy to attack."

Gan Ning smiled slightly, "Lu Meng is already cautious enough and has a strict defense. He is still broken through by Sima. I dare not say it on land, but in the water, I think there is no defense that can stop me."

Liu Jing was overjoyed, "Then I will help you with your help."

.........

The queen, the detective, heard the news that the main force of the Jiangdong Army was found on the river fifty miles away, with nearly two thousand warships coming towards Chaisang. The alarm sounded throughout the city. Teams of soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and the catapults and stone cannons were full of young and strong men who were helping the war.

Although some people and materials were not transferred to Chaisang at this time, Chaisang City had completed its combat preparations, and the city was covered with catapults and stone cannons. Seven thousand elite troops and more than 20,000 civilians were devoted to the city's defense.

Liu Jing stood at the top of the city and looked at the Chaisang Wharf. On the wharf, dozens of soldiers were dumping buckets of turmeric oil into the water. There was a circle of floating rope around to ensure that the turmeric oil did not dilute and spread into the river.

Although the oil they dumped has not been purified, many impurities have been removed after precipitation, and are no longer as viscous as they were originally, and are more likely to burn.

Liu Jing looked into the distance again. Although he was only 50% sure to win this battle, he had 100% determination and confidence.

.........

On the river, two thousand warships went downstream, with sails covering the sky and the sun. This was the main force of the Jiangdong Army, with a total of more than 50,000 people. With the remaining power to defeat Cai Mao’s reinforcements and kill Huang Zu, they rushed towards Chaisang.

The situation in Jiangxia is already very clear. As long as Liu Jing's army is defeated, Jiangxia will be officially merged into the Jiangdong territory. Not only Jiangxia, but also Changsha County in the south, will also be sure to win.

On a huge tower ship in the middle, the Wu Hou flag with gold edges fluttered in the river breeze. Sun Quan stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back and stared at the magnificent river surface for a long time, but his face was very serious. He no longer felt as relaxed as last time as he had when he was second-level Chaisang this time. He had a premonition that this time would be a bloody battle.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Quan turned around and asked, "Mingke is here."

Lu Meng walked out of the crowd, stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "The last one is here"

After being released by Liu Jing, Lu Meng came to Wuchang directly and was healing his wounds in Wuchang. He felt guilty and did not dare to see Sun Quan. He didn't get on the boat until yesterday. Sun Quan glanced at his injured arm and asked gently: "How is the injury?"

Lu Meng sighed and said, "The military doctor said that the bones were cracked and it would take at least two months to recover."

Sun Quan nodded, "Then take good care of yourself and don't have any ideas. When you recover from your injury, I will use you as usual."

Lu Meng was moved, "Thank you, Marquis Wu"
