Although the Wu army was divided into four routes, there were only 20,000 people on the way to attack Xiangyang, led by Zhu Ran, and the obvious purpose was only to contain the Wei army's soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and prevent it from reinforcing Huainan to the east.

Sun Quan's main target is still in Huainan.

In addition to Quan Cong's attack on Shouchun's troops, Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi were also sent to lead troops to attack Yiyang, Zhuge Ke led troops to attack Lu'an, and Sun Quan was Ju Jiashi to respond, and the governor of Zhulu soldiers and horses.

This time Sun Quan deliberately bypassed Hefei New Town, although geographically speaking, Hefei is closer to Wu realm, the greatest threat to the Yangtze River of Wu State, but repeated attacks made Sun Quan have a fear of Hefei, the battle of Xiaoyaojin that year, Sun Quan with the aftermath of the battle of Chibi, poured up an army of 100,000, pointed at Hefei, and wanted to level the land of Huainan in one fell swoop.

100,000 to 7,000, such a disparity in the strength of the force ratio made this battle of Hefei almost no suspense, Sun Quanzhi was complacent, proud of the enemy, but was killed by Zhang Liao by surprise, three hundred guards all died, even the guard general Chen Wu was also buried on the battlefield, if it was not for Sun Quan to step under a BMW, it is likely that Sun Quan himself also confessed in Xiaoyaojin.

The nightmare of Xiaoyaojin has been haunting Sun Quan's heart for many years, this battle has also achieved Zhang Liao's name, and then the Eastern Wu attacked Hefei several times, in the face of the impregnable fortified city, all of them are broken and sunk in the sand, Hefei has also become a hurdle that Sun Quan can not overcome in his life.

So this time Sun Quan simply gave up attacking Hefei, and put the direction of the main attack on the Huai River line in the hinterland of Wei, and attacked Shouchun, Yiyang and Lu'an at the same time.

This is also a big explosion after many years of accumulation of military strength in Wu, and Sun Quan poured all the country's troops this time to intend to make a gain.

In the eyes of the world, Sun Quan is just sitting back and enjoying his success, and his ability is not enough to compare with his father and brother, Sun Quan seems to be very sensitive to this, in order to show the world his domineering spirit, Sun Quan has provoked the Wu-Wei War more than once, and tried to open a gap on the Wu-Wei border that stretches for thousands of miles, so as to achieve his goal of entering the Central Plains.

He is eager to prove to the world that he is by no means a rule-abiding keeper, nor is he a mediocre and incompetent sit-alike, he wants to carry forward the foundation left by his father and brother, and even he has greater ambitions, wanting to compete in the Central Plains and win the world.

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, Sun Quan has been in power for many years, except for playing a trick to stab a knife in the back to snatch Jingzhou from Guan Yu, and Cao Wei has always not gained an inch of land.

Repeated defeats, but can not wear out Sun Quan's perseverance spirit, as long as there is an opportunity, Sun Quan will launch an attack, Hefei can not take it, then fight Shouchun, Shouchun can not fight, then attack Jingzhou, in short, stretching thousands of miles of Wu-Wei border, there will always be a suitable place to become Sun Quan's target.

And Sun Quan also belongs to that kind of opportunist, if he wins, he will fight, and if he can't win, he will withdraw, and he will never plunge the army into that kind of endless war of attrition.

Then this attack was no exception, Sun Quan took advantage of the young age of the new lord of Wei and the discord of the auxiliary ministers, so he dared to send this great army and attack with all his might.

First of all, he sent Quan Cong to attack Huainan, just to test the reality of Wei, Shaohan battle, Quan Cong won a big victory, which couldn't help but make Sun Quan is happy.

It seems that the conflict between the powerful ministers within the Wei State has spread to the border pass battlefield. Yangzhou Governor, Zhengdong General Wang Ling is a person of Cao Shuang's line, and Yangzhou Assassin Sun Li is Sima Yi's faction, Yangzhou generals are not in harmony, obviously providing an opportunity for the Wu army, Quan Cong defeated Wang Ling in Shaohan, the biggest credit is actually Sun Li, it is because of his slow rescue action, failed to arrive in time to Shaosaka, only to give Quan Cong an opportunity to take advantage of.

The battle of Shaohan made Sun Quan see hope, and immediately personally drove the expedition in person, commanded an army of 200,000 on land and water, and attacked Wei in an all-round way.

In addition to Quan Cong's 50,000 troops set off in advance, after the Battle of Shaohan, the other 150,000 troops all set off quickly, Zhuge Ke set out from Lujiang County and surrounded Lu'an, Zhuge Jin and Bu Vulture set out from Xinchun County to attack Yiyang, and Zhu Ran set out from Jiangling to feint Xiangyang and contain Wei's forces in Jingzhou.

This attack is a military operation that Sun Quan has been planning for a long time, since the death of Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, Sun Quan began to plan this attack, Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming is a difficult opponent, Sun Quan has dealt with once, it is very clear, but this guy died young, which also made Sun Quan overjoyed, thinking that the best opportunity to attack Wei had come.

However, since he wants to play a big vote, Sun Quan must muster enough troops to send tens of thousands of people to fight, at best, it can only be regarded as a small fight, there is not much meaning, if you want to play, play big, this time completely take Huainan, and remove the threat of Wei to Jianye.

Therefore, this time to send troops, Sun Quan was able to gather nearly eighty percent of the army in the country in a very short period of time, and the momentum was like thunder, and the progress was rapid, and the whole world was shaken.

It is foreseeable that the Wei court will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely send reinforcements to come to the rescue, Sun Quan said to the left and right: "As long as Sima Yi does not lead the troops to come, he is alone." ”

This sentence also exposes Sun Quan's weakness, the Wei State is full of civil and military affairs, Sun Quan may not all be in his eyes, only Sima Yi is the person who really makes him jealous, so as long as Sima Yi does not come, Sun Quan is basically unscrupulous.

The reason why Sun Quan dared to say this was also based on the powerful intelligence network of Wu State, those meticulous works lurking in Luoyang City had already made everything in Luoyang City clear, and the auxiliary ministers Cao Shuang and Sima Yi were not happy to fight, and Sun Quan could also wait for the opportunity to be a yellow sparrow.

Cao Shuang gained power and Sima Yi lost power, which made Sun Quan more determined to the heart of the Northern Expedition, since Sima Yi could not appear in Huainan, then even if Cao Shuang personally led troops to attack, Sun Quan did not take him seriously.

But after the news of Cao Wei's reinforcements arrived in Huainan, Sun Quan knew who was the commander, and he was stunned for a moment, he was really afraid of something, the commander of Wei's reinforcements was not someone else, but the only person Sun Quan was afraid of - Sima Yi.
