After several breaks and restraints, it seemed that Sun Quan's army was about to escape Lu Bu's pursuit.

At this moment, suddenly a big river appeared in front of Sun Quan, with turbulent waves, not inferior to the Han River.

"Where is this place? Why is it so majestic?"

"My lord, this is Yishui, which is an ordinary water. It just merged with Qishui here, and the torrential rain was raging some time ago.

This led to a sharp increase in the amount of water, making it appear so huge. "

"But it's so big, how can it pass?" Sun Quan asked the key point as soon as he opened his mouth.

The man pondered for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I remember that at the confluence of the two rivers is Qikou City.

There is a bridge connecting the north and the south, we might as well rush to see it! "

Sun Quan heard that other than this method, it might not be possible to pass quickly, so he had no choice but to rush upstream along the water's edge.

Sure enough, after a short walk, I saw a city appearing on the other side of the river, and in front of it, it really looked like a bridge.

However, when Sun Quan's army rushed there excitedly, they found sadly that the bridge had been washed away by the flood, and now only the piers on both sides remained.

Seeing this scene, Sun Quan's face instantly became even uglier.

At this moment, the defenders of Qikou City also saw the movement of the army on the other side of the river, and suddenly a group of men and horses rushed out of the city and came to the river.

The leader shouted loudly: "Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a person behind Sun Quan suddenly squeezed forward, waved at the person excitedly and shouted: "General Liu Ah, it's me!"

Liu Ah took a closer look, and saw that the original Zhu Ran's expression changed instantly, and he was no longer on guard just now.

Seeing that the other party recognized him, Zhu Ran hurriedly said: "General Liu A, the ones in front of you are Lord Inspector and Chief Governor.

Now Lu Bu's army is about to catch up.General, please help me wait to cross the river! "

Seeing that it was Sun Quan and Zhou Yu who came, Liu Ah was so frightened that he got off his horse and saluted.

But Sun Quan couldn't care less, and said anxiously: "General Liu, don't be cautious, it's better to help the soldiers cross the river quickly!"

Liu Ke looked at the rough water in front of him, and it took him a long time to finally come up with an idea.

"Gentlemen, please wait a moment for the villain to build a pontoon bridge to help the army cross the river!"

Liu A was still very responsible in his work, and immediately went outside the city to collect ships and build a pontoon bridge.

Qikou is close to Yishui, fishermen live by the water, but there are quite a few boats, and they can be collected in a short while.

Then it can be used as a temporary pontoon when it is tied up.

However, at this moment, Lu Bu's pursuers were not far away, and they were about to be killed.

Sun Quan couldn't care less about it anymore, and first crossed the pontoon bridge under the cover of everyone, and came to the other side of the river.

Immediately afterwards, armies from all walks of life began to cross the river in an orderly manner. Although there were many people, the speed was not satisfactory at all.

Lu Bu saw the situation here from a distance, and hurriedly speeded up to chase and kill them.

But when he arrived, the last army had finally set foot on the pontoon bridge.

Seeing Lu Bu's soldiers and horses approaching, the army leader cut off the rope tied to the opposite bank.

The rope was originally used to fix the pontoon, but as soon as it was cut, the pontoon inevitably drifted downstream.

Some soldiers could not stand stably and fell directly into the water, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

However, this finally blocked Lu Bu's pursuit at the last moment.

The first thousand 690 chapters and seven forcibly seized Qikou

Lu Bu's pursuers were blocked north of the Yishui River, and he could only watch helplessly as Sun Quan crossed the river and entered Qikou City for repairs.

He knew that he had already chased here, and he didn't want to give up easily, so he had no choice but to look around for ships.

However, almost all the ships were on the opposite bank, and after Sun Quan crossed the river, Han Dang was left behind to lead the army to cross the river to prevent Lu Bu from crossing the river.

Therefore, Lu Bu tried several methods, but still could not break through the defense line, and finally had no choice but to retreat.

At this moment Liu Ke has also completely taken over Xiangyang, and after arranging a garrison of soldiers and horses, he has arrived at Zhonglu with his pursuers.

When Lu Bu told the final news, Liu Ke was not surprised.

"Fengxian has worked hard on this trip! Although he failed to catch Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and other thieves this time.

But taking down Xiangyang City, an important town in Jingzhou, is also considered a great achievement.However, I naturally cannot be stopped by the harvest in front of me.

According to the order, the army will rest in Zhonglu for a day, and will continue to march south tomorrow to completely recover Jingzhou! "

On this day, Liu Ke gave a banquet to all the ministers and rewarded the three armies to celebrate that he was able to capture Xiangyang this time.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu came to ask for a fight again.

"Your Majesty, although Sun Quan is defeated, his foundation is still there. You can't just let him escape like this! Chen Te is here to ask for a fight, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it!"

Liu Ke heard the words, smiled slightly and said: "Feng Xian is still so impatient! But how do you know that I will let the other party go so easily?

I ordered Xingba to lead the navy to enter Yishui from Pang County against the current. Compared with this afternoon, I can reach Qikou.

When the time comes, land and water will be sent together, and the small Qikou County will be broken with a snap of its fingers? "
