As the sky gradually brightened, the forward of Xiahou Shangzhen's southern army appeared in the rear of Cao Xiu's headquarters by boat, and Cao Xiu also rewarded his soldiers and led the front army to move south of Shouchun City.

In the south of Shouchun City, there were 500 transport ships brought by Zang Ba, where Cao Xiu could cross the river by boat and participate in the battle on the east bank.

Xiahou Shang's department was divided into two, Niu Jin, Wang Shuang, and Dian Man led the army along Cao Xiu's rear army, and continued to deter Lu Fan's troops in Shouchun City, forcing Lu Fan not to dare to go out of the city to harass; The main force took a boat to Huaishui and circled the north of Shouchun, so as to merge into the Huaishui to participate in the battle.

On the car, Cao Xiu looked left and right, and his own scouts explored the surroundings, waiting for his eyes to find the enemy's tracks...... Then it will be late.

"Prince, there is already war on the east coast!"

The scout rode his horse and galloped, Cao Xiu just raised his hand and waved lightly, he couldn't see the details of the east coast here, and he didn't comment.

It was not long before a military official came to report and present a silk book.

Cao Xiu flipped it and glanced at it, it was the protector Jia Kui who sent a military letter, suggesting that he slow down his march and wait for Niu Jin and other reinforcements to avoid being ambushed.

Not long after, a letter was sent from Runan County Shoumanzhong, still suggesting that Cao Xiu slow down his march.

Man Pet has been unlucky recently, and was kicked under Cao Ren by Cao Xiu, and Cao Ren slapped Cao Xiu back to Cao Xiu's side.

Although Man Zhong and Cao Ren lived and died together in Fancheng, they bought Cao Cao more than ten precious days.

But the world only knows that the general Cao Ren was ready to abandon the city and flee at that time, and it was the persuasion of Manman Boning that he held Fancheng and kept the Central Plains.

Actually?

After getting out of the predicament, Cao Ren realized that he was being fully favored.

As far as Guan Yu's military food reserves, Guan Yu's hands are so many surrendered troops that need to be placed, and there is also a Sun Quan who is eyeing him.

All show one thing, that is, Guan Yu's follow-up is weak, and Guan Yu's goal in besieging Fancheng is only one, which is his Cao Ren's head, not what will go straight to Xu Du after breaking Fancheng.

At that time, Wancheng still had Xu Huang's department, Xu Huang couldn't defend the city, Guan Yu dared to take the tired army to fight Xu Du?

Therefore, Man Chong deliberately exaggerated the consequences of losing Fancheng at that time, intimidated Cao Ren into drowning his beloved white horse, and almost made Cao Ren's head move.

Cao Ren dreamed that Tian Xin was standing on the boat, and he was at the head of Fancheng City, and he would often wake up when he stared at him with big eyes.

Man Favor took the life of the Cao family's clan general to risk his own fame and invite merit, whether he had this mind or not, there was already this fact, and Man Favor's behavior was naturally resisted by Cao Pi, Cao Xiu, and Cao Hong.

Now is the time for the clan generals to serve and use force, and Cao Pi can only suppress his favor.

"Prince, the rear army is waving the flag!"

Not long after, the military officials shouted, Cao Xiu turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the three armies supervised by Jia Kui in the rear waving flags left and right.

Not long after, Jia Kui personally galloped to see Cao Xiu: "The prince is eager to break the enemy, and all the officers in the army know about this urgent heart. ”

Jia Kui boarded the moving green umbrella Gairong car, and pointed to the lush forests in the south of Shouchun City that had been abandoned for 20 years: "Junhou, Wu Jun has been running Shouchun for a year, and it is normal to dig hidden soldiers in the dense forests on the outskirts of the city. This is not a scout who can investigate carefully, and the prince can't be careless! ”

"Our army is strong, the battalion is neat, are you afraid of the rat ambush?"

Cao Xiumu had a wooden face, and also raised his hand to point to the more than 10,000 people in the front army marching in battle formation, including eight cavalry battalions, and his tone was unhappy: "I have more than 3,000 cavalry, all of which are sharp in the world!" If Xiahou Xin is in person, I will still be cautious, what are the Jiangdong rats afraid of? ”

"Yes, the princes and princes are all bears and tigers, and they are not afraid of thieves and captives. However, the rear army was heavy, and there were less than 5,000 capable fighters, but there were 8,000 auxiliary troops. If there is a sudden attack...... It's too late to regret! ”

Jia Kui had a bad temper, Cao Xiu had long wanted to participate in the war to kill people to vent his anger, and the two of them stared at each other, panting, like bullfighting.

Cao Xiu looked sideways at the flag officer beside him: "The herald ordered the Yue to ride eight formations, rest in place, change to the rear army, and guard the baggage!" ”

The flag officer passed the military order, and Cao Xiucai looked at Jia Kui with the whites of his eyes, but Jia Kui didn't say anything, turned around and jumped out of the car.

In Bagong Mountain, Song Qian and his deputy general Sun Xing watched the development of the battle together at dawn, Sun Xing was Sun Ben's nephew and Sun Fu's eldest son.

Among the twelve generals of the new army, there are four Sun clan relatives, and the twenty-four Zhonglang generals occupy exactly half.

In particular, four of the five sons of Sun Jiao, the former Jiangxia County Shou, served in the new army.

Sun Fu was imprisoned and died by Sun Quan, and his close henchmen were all killed.

The Wu army lost too many generals, and the clan of Sun Jian's brother Sun Jing and his family held too much military power, so the clan of Sun Jian's brother Sun Qiang was also used and awarded by Sun Quan.

From here, Sun Xing could see that fifteen miles to the south, the Xuzhou army of Zang Ba's army was fighting with the new army of Great Wu led by Pan Jun.

And Cao Ren personally led more than 10,000 people from his headquarters to monitor Bagong Mountain and defend the retreat of Zang Ba's department.

On the flat east bank of the river, the infantry phalanx of the Tuhuang Wei army and the emerald green phalanx of the Wu army collided and crowded together.

Bows and arrows, throwing stones, and javelins were thrown back and forth, because there was no wind today, and the two sides threw incendiary objects into each other's arrays, and the two sides engaged in the front line repeatedly tug-of-war.

Often, a scuffle breaks out over a corpse, and after separating from the superior, it continues to fight in the form of an array group, consuming materials.

Zhuge Ke did not recover from his injuries, so he sat on a wheelbarrow and watched the battle nearby, and also supervised the battlefield punishment.

"Brother Yuan Xun, our army's strength is not as good as that of the Wei army."

Before Shi Ji rode his horse to the battle, he met Zhuge Ke, and saw that Pan Jun threw two more battalions into battle, and the two replaced battalions barely maintained their formation, carrying the bodies of the wounded and the dead on their backs.

Zhuge Ke looked at it a few more times before he replied: "Pan Chengming is borrowing the Xuzhou Army for military training. Zang Xuangao's headquarters has not moved, and more than 1,000 cavalry troops in his department have not moved. ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid there will be changes."

Shi Ji raised his chin as he said to look at Bagong Mountain in the distance, where Song Qian and Sun Xing blended with the grass and trees, and there was no wind today, their flags stood on the top of the mountain, fluttering and shaking a few times in the forest, as if to prove that they were still alive.

Song Qian had no reason to rebel, but Sun Xing had this motive, and Sun Xing's cousin was Cao Zhang's wife.

If Sun Xing rebelled, killed Song Qian and annexed his army, and took sixteen battalions, one-sixth of the new army, and the Bagongshan position to surrender to Wei, then the new army on the east bank would collapse.

There is no need to wait for Cao Ren and Zang Ba's headquarters to participate in the war, the current Wu army cannot withstand the blow of this kind of battlefield surrender to the enemy, or the Sun clan's relatives surrender to the enemy.

Zhuge Ke also looked up, and could vaguely see the smoke of cooking in Bagong Mountain, and he was eating?

On Bagong Mountain, Wu Jun was dining, and Cao Ren's headquarters under the mountain was also dining.

Wang Lan was once again ordered to climb the mountain and have dinner with Song Qian, Song Qian's expression was low: "Please also tell the general, if there is a Jiangdong general in the formation who raises the flag and rebels, the old man binds his arms and asks the general for guilt." After all, I am an old man, regardless of fame and fortune, only the worries of children and grandchildren. ”

Song Qian also introduced Sun Xing, and Sun Xing also said: "Cao Sun's in-laws, we don't want to be the first to be the first to suffer, and I ask Mr. to tell the general, and implore the general to be considerate of us." ”

Wang Lan pointed to the banner on the mountain: "Can you stop the flag to show your sincerity?" ”

Song Qian and Sun Xing glanced at each other, both embarrassed, Song Qian said: "Let Mr. see and laugh, I don't dare to wait." When the banner of our army is toppled, the army will be suspicious, and the great cause of Jiangdong will collapse, and the reasons for the crime are all here, how can our wives and in-laws survive? ”

Sun Xing followed and said: "But don't worry, sir, our army will not make any moves during the meal." ”

Wang Lan frowned: "Then how long do you want to eat this meal?" ”

Sun Xing pointed to a spring where the sergeants lined up to get water, and said with a smile: "The water source under the mountain has been seized by the Wei army, our army has no water, the soldiers are hungry, thirsty and sleepy, and it is not easy to make food.

Seeing this, Wang Lan's eyes lit up, and he got up and arched his hand: "Those two generals have already prepared. ”

Song Qian and Sun Xingxing sent each other off, Song Qian smiled bitterly, and Sun Xing laughed: "After the matter is completed, I have to rely on Mr. more." ”

"The general is too modest, too modest, now is the time for the court to employ people, and Wang still has to rely on the general."

On the occasion of employing people, after this battle is quickly decided, who will block the knife of the Han army?
