Lukou.

"Report."

"General Qiqi Deng, in the past two days, on the way from Baqiu outside the city, there have been sounds of fighting every day, as if there are frequent signs of army movements in the Wu army camp."

"In the end, our army scouts secretly sneaked out of the city at night to investigate, and learned of the major military situation."

"It turned out that Zhou Tai converged with the Huanggai Department of the four counties of Jingnan, and attacked back and forth, breaking through Baqiu, and the major general was leading the remnants to move closer to Lukou, but along the way, he was pursued by Zhou Tai and the Wu army outside the city."

"According to the report of the scout who desperately returned, the situation of the major general's headquarters is no longer optimistic!"

At this moment, in the Lukou Military Mansion, his general Sun Wolf was slowly telling Deng Ai the latest information.

"Oh?"

"Baqiu is lost, and the major general breaks through?"

Hearing this, Deng Ai couldn't help but fall into contemplation for a while, and his eyebrows also showed a thick disbelief, and said secretly: "How is this possible? ”

Guan Ping's overall planning ability, he is very convinced.

How could the defenses of Ebach be breached in a matter of days?

"You mean, the scouts saw with their own eyes, and the Wu army surrounded and intercepted the headquarters of the young general?"

"Have they ever seen the Major General up close?"

Immediately, Deng Ai thought for a while, and couldn't help but show strong doubts, muttering and asking.

Hearing this, Sun Wolf said slowly: "General Deng, Scout Yan, they saw with their own eyes the young general who fled in formation, although it was dark and the night was thick, and they couldn't see it very clearly. ”

"But the scout said, the momentum and appearance of the major general will not be wrong!"

As the words fell, although Sun Wolf swore by it, Deng Ai was still puzzled.

He still didn't want to believe that Bachu had really fallen so quickly?

This was also the place where he was most puzzled when he heard that Guan Ping led the remnants to flee to Lukou.

It stands to reason that if Baqiu is really lost, then the Wu army will not need to continue to garrison here and attack Lukou, right?

If Baqiu was recaptured, then the Wu army could naturally go straight down to Changsha along Dongting Lake to Xiangshui, and then cross the Gan River into Yuzhang.

Lu Meng can't be guilty of chasing after Guan Ping's subordinates, and he doesn't have any deep hatred!

This point made Deng Aihu suspicious at this time.

"Sun Dudu, the defense of Baqiu City is strong, it is extremely difficult to be broken, with the overall planning ability of the major general, how can it be broken in a few days?"

Hearing this, Sun Wolf also looked puzzled, so he said slowly: "The wolf is not very clear about this matter, because of the army of the Wu army, although our scouts sneaked out of the city at night to find out the news, but they could not go deep into Baqiu, so Baqiu did not know the situation at this time. ”

"However, the scout learned by chance that the reason why Baqiu was lost was because Huang Gai in Jingnan suddenly led his people north and attacked Zhou Tai back and forth, and the young general was tired of coping with it, and finally had no choice but to lose!"

"Yellow cover attack?"

For a moment, Deng Ai was momentarily shocked, and then his face was worried, his pupils shrank, and he was frightened: "Then this matter is tricky!" ”

"Originally, in our discussions with the major general, we all agreed that Huang Gai would not quickly participate in the news of the capture of Baqiu, and the major general would confidently lead an army of 2,000 to garrison Baqiu."

"Now, in the face of the Wu army's attacks before and after, it is normal to be unable to resist it!"

"Then this matter makes sense, according to this, the one who is approaching Lukou must be the department of the major general."

After thinking about it slowly, Deng Ai thought about it for a long time, and deduced all kinds of situations, although he still had a little doubt in his heart, he still vaguely believed it in his heart.

After all, Wu Jun can deceive himself with treacherous tricks, Baqiu has been lost, but Guan Ping's appearance and momentum can be easily imitated by ordinary people?

"Deng Dudu, what should I do for the sake of today?"

Hearing this, Deng Ai muttered: "Governor Sun, you quickly go and gather the people in the middle of the city to stand by at the head of the city, and wait for the follow-up military situation. ”

"Once it is completely determined that it is the headquarters of the major general, he will instantly kill out of the city to receive reinforcements."

Slowly, nearly a day or two passed.

On the tributary of Baqiu from Lukou, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and Ling Tong was leading the "Jingzhou Army" with broken armor to quickly break through to Lukou.

For two days in a row, "Guan Ping" broke through the encirclement and interception of the Wu army with his own brilliant strategy, went ashore along the land pass, and headed for the land route.

As the night was approaching, and when the dense fog was charming, Ling Tong had already led the crowd closer and closer to the city, and behind him was the sound of fighting that shook the sky, resounding for several miles.

"Kill, this time you must capture Guan Ping."

"Annihilate the Jingzhou army."

"Kill, kill."

On the head of Lukou Castle.

This high-pitched shouting of killing naturally could not hide the Jingzhou soldiers who had already been ready to go and assembled at the head of the city.

After a while, Sun Wolf listened to it from the side, and couldn't help but arch his hand: "General Deng, according to the two days of wait-and-see, according to the wolf, this should be the headquarters of the young general!" ”

"Looks like Bachu is really lost."

"We will not allow the major general to fail, and quickly go out of the city to receive the major general into the city!"

A seat fell.

At this time, Sun Wolf was holding a war knife, and he couldn't help but show a look of urgency, urging Deng Ai to make a decision.

Merely.

At this critical moment, Deng Ai, who had been thinking about it for a long time, couldn't help but feel restless again at this moment, and he always felt like something was going to happen in his heart!

"How can this be, is this really Wu Jun's treacherous scheme?"

For a while, feeling the beating of his heart, Deng Ai's heart was difficult to calm down, and he couldn't help but groan secretly.

However, he thought for a moment, and still couldn't imagine how Wu Jun could pretend to be Guan Ping and achieve the truth with fakeness.

Therefore, after calming down for a long time, Deng Ai forcibly pressed the uneasiness in his heart, and waved his hand and ordered loudly: "The whole army is ........."

"Why did our army gather at the head of the city in the past two days, is something wrong?"

"Hey, I don't know, but I heard that Baqiu was attacked by Huang Gai, and Wu General Zhou Tai attacked back and forth, and the major general's army was insufficient, resulting in the loss of the city, and General Deng was preparing to lead the people out of the city to meet the young general who withdrew to Lukou."

"Huang Gai raided, but Baqiu was not captured by our army, why was the Wu army able to contact him?"

"The whole army continues to wait, and without the general's order, you can't switch out of the city."

At this critical moment, Deng Ai suddenly changed his mind, immediately shouted, ordered the whole army to continue to standby, and canceled the plan that was preparing to go out of the city to respond.

Hearing this, Sun Wolf's face on the side couldn't help but become more impatient and puzzled, so he said softly: "General Deng, why is this?" ”

"Now that the major general has arrived at the periphery of Lukou, the main forces of the Wu army are all besieging and killing, the pressure on the major general must be increasing day by day, if our army does not respond quickly, I am afraid that he will be more auspicious!"

It's just that, having said that, Deng Ai smiled and didn't give the order to attack!
