Gao Qian and Shi Jian were both a little stunned after hearing Cao Zhen's words.

The two of them didn't know what was wrong with their own general.

Could it be that there is something else that makes him feel scared?

Cao Zhen is a veteran who has been fighting in the Central Plains for twenty or thirty years.

He is the general of the army who really achieved the collapse of Mount Tai without changing color, the elite of the Cao family, and the Cao Zhen Cao Zidan who dominates the world.

But the two of them can swear that Cao Zhen in their eyes just now is scared!

But at this time, the two of them didn't care about anything, and they couldn't care if Cao Zhen was really scared, and they didn't care if Cao Zhen really thought of anything bad.

Since Shangfeng ordered himself to go to General Cao Ren, then they took advantage of the opportunity to go to Cao Ren's side at this time, and of course they had to rush over as quickly as possible.

"The last general obeys!" The two men shouted almost in unison.

"Remember, go quickly, go quickly, move quickly!"

This is what Cao Zhen explained to the two of them, and they are going to use all means to come to their former commander, Cao Ren, before the start of the war.

"The last general understands!" Shi Jian yelled again, and then bowed to Cao Zhen, "The general of the army can rest assured, if we can't protect General Cao Ren, then we will take off the heads of the two of us!" ”

Looking at these two generals who were once the most brave and reckless and the most clever under Cao Ren, Cao Zhen's heart was also a little relaxed.

"Don't say more, let's go soon!" Cao Zhen said a word, and asked them to take their own soldiers, and then quickly took the path towards the battlefield of Misukou.

Watching the two of them rush away, Cao Zhen also tried his best to calm his mood.

Just listening to the scout's report, Cao Ren seems to be in a smooth situation, but in fact, he is already a little too arrogant, and going to Zhu Huan, the governor of the bearded capital, seems to have these little temptations in Cao Zhen's eyes.

Even if Zhu Huan is a fool, then the people around him are all fools.

Although Zhu Huan's side is the same as Cao Ren's side, they are all a group of unknown guys.

Luo Tong, Yan Gui, and Zhou Shao may have a promising future, but now at least they are really not famous.

But even if they don't have any fame, it is a very important thing to be able to be thrown by Sun Quan to Zhu Huan's side and resist Cao Ren together.

That is, their ability will not be bad, at least in Sun Quan's eyes, it must be like this, if it is really underestimated by their group of people, this is life-threatening!

And now in Cao Zhen's eyes, Cao Ren just doesn't take them in his eyes at all at this time, Cao Ren's current appearance, that is, there is no one in his eyes.

The soldiers were divided into two routes, one way to attack the city of Wetsu, and the other way was to directly attack Zhongzhou under the eyes of the Jiangdong Navy stationed in Wetsu, not to mention their group of people, even Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu together did not dare to do this.

As for why, this one is too risky, a little too risky!

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Zhen's brain couldn't help but swell a little, and at this time he felt that he was too unfamiliar with these people in Jiangdong.

The Zhu Ran who fought against him in Jiangling was a surprise, he dared to directly attack the Zhongzhou Wubao in Nanjun, to put it bluntly, he knew that Zhuge Jin was not his opponent, Pan Zhang, Han Dang and others were all veterans, what level everyone had, everyone knew whom.

Therefore, knowing himself and his opponent, he calculated all the Jiangdong generals in Nanjun alone, not only occupied Zhongzhou Wubao, so that all the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed to help Jiangling could not go to Jiangling, but also made Jiangling directly fall into an isolated and helpless situation.

At this time, Cao Zhen's plan was to take back the important town of Jiangling directly, and then build a defense line from Jiangling and Xinye again, so that he could let Xiahou Shang slowly encroach on Jingzhou in ten years.

It's just that in the end, he underestimated Zhu Ran.

Before that, he had almost no impression of Zhu Ran, and the only thing he knew was that in the twenty-second year of Jian'an, when his father-in-law Cao Cao directly led the army out of the mouth of the river, and then attacked Jiangdong, Zhu Ran had been in Dawu and Sanguan to prepare the army, but in the end he didn't do anything, so Cao Zhen didn't know his ability.

Later, I knew that he was fighting against Guan Yu, Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang killed Guan Yu, this matter was once in an uproar, many people said that Jiangdong was a famous general, but that battle was quite disgraceful in Cao Zhen's opinion, just like when Zhou Gongjin was defeated by General Cao Ren, it was not the ability of both sides, and there were too many factors that affected their victory or defeat in the middle.

But when Wen Qin got the information that the "judge" of the school government had brought back, he completely gave up the siege of Gangneung, or rather, at least he gave up on it.

In the intelligence of the "judge", there is detailed information about the generals of Jiangdongnan County, in addition to Han Dang, Pan Zhang, Zhuge Jin, and other veterans, there is also all the information about Zhu Ran, the guy who gave him a headache.

Here, I have to say that the intelligence ability of the school government is really powerful, and from that request report, he can almost see everything about Zhu Ran's past.

In the first year of Xingping, the little guy who was still called Shi Ran was received under the door of the Zhu family, and then changed his name to Zhu Ran, in order to let him change his surname, many officials from Sun Ce to Danyang County had to use sheep wine as a gift to entertain Shi Ran, which made him determined to change his surname.

Since entering Zhu Zhi, he has been by Sun Quan's side, and together with Sun Quan, he has received the most orthodox education and the best education.

Five years after Jian'an, Sun Quan succeeded Sun Ce to lead Jiangdong and appointed Zhu Ran as the head of Yuyao. Later, he was appointed as the commander of Sanyin, and he was the captain of the school, leading the soldiers and horses and political affairs of the five counties.

But this alone is not enough, Zhu Ran has a lot of ability to govern the army in Jiangdong, which makes Sun Quan very unexpected, and then in just a few years, he has completely entered the realization of everyone in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan was surprised by his talent, divided Danyang into Linchuan County, took Zhu Ran as the Taishou, and allowed him to recruit 2,000 soldiers and horses, which was already a great honor.

And he did not live up to Sun Quan, at that time Linchuan County just caught up with the bandits rampant, the people were not happy, those bandits roared back and forth, constantly killing people and robbing money in Linchuan County, and then when the Jiangdong army was dispatched, they fled into the mountains and forests.

But after Zhu Ran took over Linchuan County, it only took one month to recruit those bandits, or exterminate them, or expel them, in short, it only took him one month to directly pacify this scourge.

("Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Taste the book with Quan's classmates and form a relationship.) To the power of the commander, Yi Ran was the rest of Yao Chang, at the age of nineteen. Later, he moved to Shanyin Order, added a fold to the school captain, and supervised the five counties. Quan Qi Qi can divide Danyang into Linchuan County, but it is too shou, and the case of Chen Song: this county is looking for it, not Linchuan County today. 2,000 soldiers. There will be thieves in full bloom, and then it will be settled, depending on the moon. ）

After that, in the twenty-second year of Jian'an, he transferred from the interior of Jiangdong to foreign conquest for the first time, and it was also the first time he led his soldiers against their Cao clan.

Although he did not receive any actual public achievements, he was recognized.

It was from here that Cao Zhen could understand why Jiangdong made him feel so weird, not because Jiangdong had no famous generals but could survive for so long, but because Sun Quan was really able to endure it.

Others were eager to put their strongest soldiers, the most powerful generals, on the frontier to deter the enemy, but Sun Quan went back to his own way, relying on the Yangtze River to directly turn Jiangdong into an isolated place.

Not only that, but he was also in Jiangdong, using those Shanyue and bandits and the remnants of the Yellow Turban to train on a large scale, talking about throwing out all the generals he approved, and then constantly using those people to train them, until they were good enough, they would be released.

This is why when the two sides were at war, such a group of guys suddenly appeared, Zhu Ran, the Jiangling guard, Zhu Huan, the governor of the city, and Sun Huan, who was not far from him, almost captured Liu Xuande.

This group of generals, who are young or old, but they are not famous, but they still have some means, just popped up one after another.

At this time, Cao Zhen could guarantee that the great Sima Cao Ren, who was attacking the city of Wet Beard, had definitely not seen any information about the many generals in Jiangdong, otherwise he would definitely not be so careless.

With Sun Quan's vision, he would never really let a guy with no name and no ability to guard against this important place.

"Wen Qin!" The only thing Cao Zhen could think of at this time was Wen Qin, "If you find a way to contact the judge behind you, you will have something important to ask him!" ”

Wen Qin didn't know what was wrong with Cao Zhen, and he suddenly wanted to see Han Long, but he knew that this matter was very important, just look at his face, it was very important.

"Don't worry, General, I'll do it as soon as possible!" Wen Qin nodded, and then ran down quickly.

After Cao Zhen watched Wen Qin leave, he turned his gaze to the direction of Hengjiangwu again, he must see the right time to send troops, if it is early, they will not be able to get off the stage, but if they start late, it may be useless.

So this degree is very difficult to grasp, only after getting all the information about Zhu Huan, he will have a chance, and he can have a way to calculate when it is appropriate for him to do it!

"Someone!" Cao Zhen yelled again, and let the two scouts come to his side, "Before sending two teams of people to the vicinity of White Emperor City, remember, even if you can't get the specific news of Liu Xuande, you must tell me the general news, how you are doing, who you have seen, whether there is a doctor who has entered, and how long you have been there, you have to tell a certain family!" ”

"No!" When the two scouts heard this, they hurried away.

After arranging everything in place, Cao Zhen could only wait quietly, and before the person he was waiting for arrived, there was nothing more he could do.

It was already the fifth day when Han Long appeared, and at this time, it was already halfway through March, and Cao Zhen was also very anxious.

"I'm sorry, General, because the distance between the cave entrance is too far, and Jiangdong sent He Qi and others into the battlefield at the entrance of the cave, and there are a large number of warships, and they were actually dragged for a while!"

Han Long knew that if it wasn't for something that was particularly anxious, this general of the army would definitely not take the initiative to come to him, I was afraid that something really happened.

Cao Zhen looked at Han Long, and did not continue to chat with him, and said very bluntly, "All the information about Zhu Huan, tell me, immediately, immediately!" ”

Zhu Huan is one of the commanders of Jiangdong's three routes, so he is naturally the top priority, and Han Long really wasted a lot of thought for his information.

"Zhu Huan, whose name is Xiu Mu, is a native of Wu County, Wu County, and a collateral descendant of the Zhu family among the four major families in Jiangdong, but he has been friends with the Sun family for generations, so he is not treated by the Zhu family.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, after Sun Quan took power, Zhu Huan was enabled, initially as Yuyao Chang, when Yuyao was making a plague, the epidemic was rampant, the people were killed and injured countless times, plus the local thieves and bandits, it can be said that the people are not living, there is news that let him go to be Yuyao Chang, it is the meaning of the Zhu family, it is the Zhu family who wants to borrow a knife to kill.

But Zhu Huan did a good job, because he was worried that the price of grain and grain would rise because of the reduced production, so he pressed everything, and then asked his cronies to personally ask the doctor to treat their patients, and at the same time personally brought food porridge to the mouths of those people.

It was precisely because of this that the plague was quickly suppressed, and although the production of grain and grain was reduced, the price did not increase, nor did it make the people worse again, so Sun Quan appointed him as the captain of the school.

Captain Dangkou originally had a force of 2,000 men, but Sun Quan also asked him to integrate the military forces of Wu County and Huiji County, and at the same time asked him to recruit those soldiers who had been dispersed, and to exterminate all the bandits in the two counties.

It only took Zhu Huan a year to basically control the bandits in these two counties, and at the same time, there were already 10,000 people under his command, and these 10,000 people were still so loyal to him.

However, from the fifth year of Jian'an to the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, his real position in these nineteen years has always been Yuyao Chang, that is to say, he has served in Yuyao for nineteen years, during these nineteen years, he was once left out in the cold, and even got crazy, but because of the timely treatment, he did not leave any troubles, and until now, his body has been very good! ”

("Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Zhu Huan's character Humu, Wu County Wu Ren also.) Sun Quan was the general, Huan was given to the shogunate, except for Yao Chang. In the past, when the epidemic was struck, the grain was scarce, the good officials of the Huan branch, the hidden relatives of medicine, and the porridge were one after another, and the people felt it. Moved Kou Lieutenant, awarded 2,000 soldiers, made the Ministry of Wu Wu, Hui two counties, and dispersed, and more than 10,000 people were obtained between the years. ）

Han Long took a breath and continued, "In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Zhou Tai was seriously ill and really couldn't independently supervise the military in the Wet Beard Governor, so Zhu Huan was sent to the Wet Beard by Sun Quan to assist in the defense of Zhou Tai, the Wet Beard Governor.

However, soon, Zhou Tai's condition worsened, and in desperation, he could only retreat to the rear, and then recuperate with peace of mind.

Before the appearance of General Cao Ren, he was also a little boring, and he did not have any public achievements over the years, and not long ago Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition, Jiangdong dispatched most of the generals and soldiers, but Zhu Huan was not used. ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhen can be regarded as having a great understanding of Zhu Huan.

"I have served in one place for nineteen years, but there is still no dissatisfaction like this, this kind of forbearance and tenacity is rare in the world!" This is Cao Zhen's first impression of Zhu Huan.

"Madness is also excusable, nineteen years in one place, if there is no way to change, depressed, it is inevitable to become a little crazy, but he can actually recover, it shows that this is a very ruthless guy, he dares to face himself and this reality, amazing!" This is Cao Zhen's second impression of him.

"Forbearance, resilience, madness!" This is Cao Zhen's summary of Zhu Huan's character.

"Did you tell Da Sima what you just said?" Cao Zhen looked at Han Long and asked a little nervously.

"Regarding the intelligence information of the commanders and generals of the various Jiangdong countries, we have all sent it to your respective hands!" Han Long first said his duty, and then added, "But General Cao Ren seems to have thrown away the information given to him directly!" ”

When he heard the previous sentence, Cao Zhen seemed to let his heart fall, but when he heard the latter, he felt that his whole person seemed to have entered the abyss.

"Do you know when the Great War in Wet Whisker City began?" Cao Zhen can't hope for scouts now, because it's too late.

"If the general is worried about the battle in Shisu City, then it may be too late." Han Long looked at Cao Zhen, whose face had changed drastically, and said helplessly, "When I rushed over, I had already received news about Wet Whisker City, and at this time, Wet Whisker City should have already started fighting." ”

"Bang!"

Cao Zhen slammed his fist on the table, and then roared angrily, "Waste, waste!" ”

At this time, the city of Wet Whiskers was indeed as Han Long said, and the flames of the war had already burned.

This time, Cao Ren used the old method again, because he didn't want to hear Jiang Ji constantly clamoring in his ears, so he directly sent him to the land of Xianxi again, and then forced Zhu Huan to divide his troops to rescue.

But this time, Cao Ren was no longer just a temptation, when Zhu Huan divided his troops to rescue Xianxi, Cao Tai, who had already been hidden, directly rushed to the city of Wet Whiskers not far away with the army under his command.

At this time, the army under Zhu Huan's command had already divided its troops to rescue the land of Xianxi, and Cao Tai's army had already arrived in the city, as for the reinforcements sent out, it was too late when Zhu Huan wanted to chase them back.

This time, Cao Ren once again took the lead.

At this time, Zhu Ran sent reinforcements to Xianxi again, and only 5,000 men and horses were stationed in Weixu City with him, which was fatal, because there were no less than tens of thousands of people under Cao Tai at this time.

Originally, there weren't so many, but because of the addition of Gao Qian and Shi Jian and the soldiers under their command, Cao Tai had a lot more under his command at this time.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed straight to the city, Zhu Huan's command was completely stunned, at this time they could only do one thing, that is, to ask their own governor, to ask for help from the water army, hoping that they could enter the city by water, and resist the Cao army with themselves and others.

But this request was directly rejected by their governor Zhu Huan.

In order to make his subordinates full of confidence again, Zhu Huan encouraged them and said a lot, but in the end, after many Jiangdong generals summed it up, it was just a few words.

"Whenever two armies face each other, the victory or defeat depends on the ability of the generals, not on the number of soldiers. You have heard about Cao Ren's use of soldiers, how can you compare with me Zhu Huan? The Art of War says that the defender can resist several times the enemy's army with only half of the force, which refers to plain warfare.

In the absence of a castle as a garrison, victory or defeat depends on whether the warriors are brave and whether they advance and retreat consistently. Now the enemy's Cao Ren has neither command talent nor bravery, and his soldiers are very timid, and they have traveled thousands of miles, long distances, and the men and horses are tired and sleepy.

I, Zhu Huan and the generals, together guard the tall city wall, bordering the river in the south and leaning on the mountains in the north. Even if Cao Pi came in person, there was no need to worry, let alone just Cao Ren's generation! ”

After these few sentences were summarized, although many Jiangdong generals under Zhu Huan liked their generals very much and trusted him very much, they really wanted to ask, Zhu Huan, how big did you say these words without changing your face.

The art of war, the siege battle does need ten times to attack, but is it possible that they are not ten times the gap now? There are only 5,000 of them, and there are no less than 50,000 Cao Jun who need to be guarded against.

Besides, Cao Ren has no command talent, and the soldiers under Cao Ren's command are very timid, traveling thousands of miles, long distances, and people are sleepy and lacking.

These generals in Jiangdong really want to ask their own governor, where did he see it, Cao Ren can be regarded as the only remaining veteran general of the Cao family, he has fought in the south and north all his life, and he doesn't know how many strong enemies he has dealt with, even the governor of Zhou Yu has been defeated.

As for Cao Jun's timidity, what he is really afraid of at this time seems to be their Jiangdong army, and it is thousands of miles away, people and horses are tired, and both sides have been fighting in this area for almost half a year, although everyone has been suppressing the experience and not being ruthless, but at this time it is not that Cao Jun is tired.

The city is very dangerous, it is inevitable that it is the Yangtze River, and the north is a high mountain, this situation makes them only need to defend one side, so this is the truth, but they directly look down on the Cao army on the opposite side and even look down on Cao Pi, which makes the soldiers under their command very incomprehensible.

(It wasn't the author who made it up to Zhu Huan before, but Zhu Huan really pulled this kind of calf, just when Cao Ren attacked him on a large scale, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides was very great, he pulled the calf like this.)

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": In the first year of Huangwu, Wei made the great Sima Cao Ren ride tens of thousands of horses, and Ren wanted to attack the state with troops, and the pseudo-first raised his voice and wanted to attack Xianxi in the east. Huan divided his troops to go to Xianxi, and when he was released, he refused to march to ask for seventy miles. Huan sent an envoy to chase back the Xianxi soldiers, but the soldiers did not arrive and were dying. Shi Huan's subordinates and the soldiers under him, there are 5,000 people, all the generals have their own fears, Huan Yu said: "Where the two armies are opposed, the victory or defeat is in the generals, not in the outnumbered." When you hear that Cao Ren uses soldiers to practice as a teacher, who is with Huan and evil? The art of war is called the guest and the master is half, it is said that it is all in the plain, there is no city to guard, and it is also said that the soldiers are brave and cowardly. Jinren is not wise and brave, and his soldiers are very timid, and thousands of miles of walking, people and horses are trapped, Huan and the army, according to the high city, south of the river, north of the back of the mountains, to wait for work, the main guest, this hundred battles and victory also. Although Cao Pi is self-sufficient, it is not enough to worry, and the situation is benevolent and evil! ”

When this kind of big talk comes out, Cao Ren was very arrogant at the beginning, and Zhu Huan was even more arrogant than him, but if you look at his later achievements, it seems to make sense again.

Zhu Huan didn't rely on these words to make the five thousand Jiangdong soldiers confident against those Cao Jun who were ten times his size, but he could reasonably lead Cao Jun deep, in other words, he just wanted to lure the enemy deeper! ）

Zhu Huan's words spread out somehow, not only to the camp in Jiangdong, but also to Cao Jun.

was rushing to the city with a large army, and after hearing these words at this time, he was immediately furious, and the idea of being persuaded by Jiang Ji, who had just been driven back, rushed out again.

"The army stops!" Cao Ren shouted, and then made many Cao Jun stop, "Chang Diao, Zhuge Qian, Wang Shuang!" ”

Cao Ren directly called the names of the three people, and then let Jiang Ji, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, directly feel his heart twitch a little.

"Da Sima can't!" After Jiang Ji heard the names of these three people, he knew what this guy wanted to do, or to attack Zhongzhou, and directly brought Zhu Huan and others from Zhongzhou to all the family members, and then wanted to humiliate Zhu Huan and others.

But the mouth of the water and the Nanjun are completely different, the south county is still inland, although it surrounds the Han River, but what does it mean to surround the Han River, it means that there is not much water in his inland, so Cao Zhen with his foot soldiers and his water army can do whatever he wants in the South County.

Although for so many years, the Cao army has carved out a piece of land in this waterway vertical and horizontal place, and can directly attack the city of Weixu, so as to avoid confrontation with the Jiangdong naval army.

But this premise is to attack the city of Wet Beard in a proper manner, not to fight any Middle Continent, where is the Central Continent of the Wet Beard Mouth? It's a place where the waterways are staggered, and if you're not careful, you'll be directly surrounded by Jiangdong's navy!

"Jiang Ji!" Cao Ren didn't wait for Jiang Ji to open his mouth at all, and directly interrupted him with an angry roar, "Now that the city is in danger, as soon as our army arrives, it will be broken immediately. ”

Jiang Ji was about to say a lot of words, but he was scolded by Cao Ren's stinking scolding, and finally opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Jiang Ji, an annoying guy, had finally learned how to shut up, Cao Ren snorted coldly with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to the few people who rushed over.

"Chang Diao is the main general, Zhuge Qian, Wang Shuang is the deputy general, Yu Er and other 5,000 soldiers and horses, take all the oil tankers and light boats under the command of this general, and directly rush to Zhongzhou in the city of Wet Beard, and remember, be sure to bring me all the family members of Zhu Huan and others!"

"The last general obeys!" Chang Diao, Zhuge Qian and Wang Shuang said in unison, they are generals under Cao Ren, they don't have as much thought as Jiang Ji, and they don't want to listen to Jiang Ji's nonsense.

The three of them have the same idea as Cao Ren, they are all Cao's generals, they are on the battlefield all day long, and they face stormy attacks every day, and they may die directly under the loss of which one at any time, and they come out to fight, where are they completely sure of things, since they are all dangerous, it is not impossible to do this now!

Seeing that the three of them directly agreed so happily, the feeling of uneasiness in Jiang Ji's heart became even more serious.

"General.... Great Sima..."Jiang Ji wanted to persuade him again, but he was glared at him by Cao Ren's fierce eyes, and he took back everything he was about to say.

After Cao Ren gave instructions on Zhongzhou, he turned his attention to the army again, and just as he wanted to lead the army directly to the city again, his son Cao Tai suddenly stood up.

"Father, a little slower!" Cao Tai suddenly stood up and stopped his movements, looking at his son with an unkind face.

Cao Tai and Jiang Ji have a good relationship, and they have a feeling of being both teachers and friends, if it was before, maybe Cao Ren would still think that this is a good thing, but now he is very disgusted with Jiang Ji, if his son dares to speak to Jiang Ji again, he will definitely not be polite.

Looking at such sharp eyes, Cao Tai was also a little empty, but after thinking about it again, he still tried to calm himself down, and said to his father.

"Father, just now that Zhu Huan bullied us so much, and even dared to bully His Majesty, these people should definitely be cut with a thousand knives, but if this kind of jumping clown let his father do it himself, wouldn't it be too cheap for him, it is better to let his son go, so that he can see the demeanor of my Cao family's disciples!"

Cao Ren thought that this guy was trying to persuade him to give up attacking Zhongzhou, but he never thought that this son understood his mind so well, and he also thought about it, it should be like this, a junior who didn't know where he came from, dared to underestimate himself like this.

If it is done by himself, wouldn't it be cheaper for him, it is better to let his son do it, and let him do it is more appropriate.

"You're right, how can such an ignorant junior be worthy of a certain family to kill him personally, today the right to hand over the army to you, Gao Qian and Shi Jian's second generals are also by your side, that Wet City is only 5,000 people and horses to help garrison, Wu'er will definitely be able to fight down!"

"Rest assured, the child will not disappoint the father!" As soon as Cao Tai saw that Cao Ren had promised him, where was there any hesitation, he immediately bowed and saluted, and accepted the matter.

In the end, Cao Ren made a decision from below, sending his son Cao Tai to raid the city of Xu, and sent the general Chang Diao to supervise Zhuge Qian, Wang Shuang and others, and took an oil tank to attack Zhongzhou in the morning, while Cao Ren himself personally led 10,000 people to stay in Lugao as a backup for Cao Tai and others.

For this approach, even if Jiang Ji has a big opinion, he can't change his mind anymore.

In the end, Jiang Ji could only leave one sentence: "The Wu army occupies the west coast and ranks the warships upstream, if the troops are divided to attack Shazhou Island located downstream, it is tantamount to the danger of self-defeat." After that, he didn't care about this matter anymore, he had already seen that at this time, Cao Ren, the great Sima of the Cao family, was no longer the invincible Cao Ren Cao Zixiao who was invincible in the world.

("Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, Jiang Ji Biography": In the third year of the early Huang Dynasty, he and the great Sima Cao Ren conquered Wu, and Ji Bei attacked Xianxi. Ren wanted to attack the middle of the Xuzhou, and Ji said: "The thieves are based on the west coast, and the ships are upstream, and the soldiers enter the continent for the inner hell, and the way to perish." "）

Zhu Huan in the city of Wet Whiskers heard that Cao Tai came to attack the city with a large army, and couldn't help but chuckle, and the expression on his face was even more disdainful, and even staggered back to his mansion in the city of Wet Whiskers, telling his subordinates to call him when Cao Tai attacked the city.

Many soldiers just felt relaxed because they heard that Cao Ren did not come in person, but when they saw that their master was so casual, they suddenly lifted their hearts that had just been put down again.

"This.... General Zhu Huan, what's going on? After seeing Zhu Huan leave, many Jiangdong generals felt a little unclear, and looked at each other one by one.

One of the lieutenants, who knew Zhu Huan well, coughed lightly twice, and then said softly, "Hey, you don't know, once our Lord Zhu Huan, when he was in Yuyao, he had a mad disease, although he said that he was cured, but this kind of thing.... Ay! ”

The captain's words immediately attracted countless eyes, and then a group of people gathered to discuss the matter with each other.

Although Zhu Huan has a crazy disease is not a very hidden secret, it is not so well-known, so everyone just "guessed" this matter with a word from you and me, and then everyone looked at the direction where Zhu Huan left again, and their eyes were not right!

"You say, can we hold on this time?" A lieutenant suddenly whispered, "Now we only have five thousand people, and Cao Jun..."

"It's all the governors, it seems that they have nothing to do but have to garrison troops in Xianxi, what's the use, it's a lonely city, if something happens, we have to send someone to save it, isn't it good to hold a place in the city as before!"

"Isn't it because of madness? All at once crazy! I don't know who suddenly said something weird, and then all of a sudden the atmosphere here was cold, and then they dispersed silently.

After everyone left, a figure did not return to the barracks, nor did he walk on the walls of the city, but turned left and right in the city and came to a mansion, which was Zhu Huan's general's mansion in the city.

"The general is here, just come in, the governor has been waiting for you for a long time!" As soon as the man appeared at the door, the door was opened from the inside, and an old man led him in.

It didn't seem that this was the first time that the person had appeared here, and after entering, he didn't feel any discomfort, and followed the old man all the way to the lobby of General Zhu Huan's mansion, where he saw Zhu Huan, who had been waiting for a long time.

"The last general will see the governor!" As soon as the man saw Zhu Huan, he bowed down directly, very happy and very conscious.

"Get up, what's going on with those people, but they're doing what we planned?" Zhu Huan sat quietly on the main seat, as if he didn't have any thoughts about the person in front of him.

"Don't worry, they were all surprised when they heard that the governor was crazy, and now they don't believe the governor at all!"

"In that case, then keep an eye on them, and when the time is right, you will go and surrender Cao Tai!"

"The villain understands!" The lieutenant left in silence.

After the lieutenant left, a person also turned out behind the screen behind Zhu Huan, who was one of Zhu Huan's lieutenants on this trip, Yan Gui, the general of Jiangdong.

At this time, Yan Gui's face was full of seriousness, and his eyes looking at Zhu Huan were also very solemn, and he bowed to this Governor of Wet Whisker who he didn't like very much, "Governor, the things in Wet Whisker City have also been arranged, as long as Cao Jun dares to enter the city, he can immediately make them a dilemma of life and death!" ”

"Well, then I'll leave this matter to you, remember to be careful!"

"No!" Yan Gui was about to leave after receiving the order, but before leaving, he heard another sentence from Zhu Huan, "Remember, when necessary, don't care about casualties, and don't care if you will hurt anyone by mistake, all I want is victory, do you understand!" ”

When Yan Gui heard this, he couldn't help but slap a spirit, then gritted his teeth, bowed down and said, "The last general understands!" ”

After saying this time, there was no one to stop him from leaving, and after Yan Gui also left, Zhu Huan's head slowly raised up, if anyone saw him at this time, they would definitely be frightened by his eyes.

From the eye sockets to the eyeballs, it is all red, the tragic kind of red, if it is said that Han Long's red is demonic, then Zhu Huan's blood red, that is crazy, extremely crazy.

At this time, Zhu Huan may be because there is no one around, or maybe because no one is watching him by his side, his madness can finally be revealed.

Although it can be seen that his madness is still suppressed by his hard work, which can be seen from the clay bowl in his hand hard, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the brand-new pottery bowl was directly crushed by Zhu Huan, and then as soon as Zhu Huan grasped the bursting fragment, blood flowed down from his palm, slowly, slowly turning into blood.

Without a pottery bowl as his vent, Zhu Huan's madness slowly showed signs of being uncontrollable.

"Roar!" The low roar came from his throat, hideous and terrifying, and if there were still people standing beside him at this time, I am afraid that he would be frightened by his appearance, making such a low roar.

"Crunch~squeak~" The fragments of the pottery bowl had been deeply grasped by him in his flesh and blood, and the blood flowed more and more, faster and faster, but Zhu Huan seemed to be unaware of it, letting his palms become bloody, and letting his blood flow to the table and to the ground.

"Whew! Call! Call! Call! Call! ”

Suddenly, Zhu Huan suddenly deflated, then opened his mouth, panting heavily, his body was constantly rising and falling, his head, back, arms, etc., were sweating violently, making him feel like he had been fished out of the water.

His palm was also released, and the fragments of the pottery bowl had been completely embedded into Zhu Huan's palm at this time, and it was suddenly released, but it did not fall.

Knowing that after a quarter of an hour, Zhu Huan slowly returned to normal, although his eyes were still a little red at this time, but there was no longer the crazy color before, and in the same way, his palms were not so tight and hard at this time.

"Whew, this damn illness is really uncomfortable!" Zhu Huan picked out the fragments and residues in his palm at this time, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Zhu Huan has already made a plan, and at the same time, Cao Tai and others have also started their respective expeditions, Cao Tai didn't say a word, and directly led the army to camp under the city of Misu, he knew that this was a protracted war, he didn't think about it, if Zhu Huan was really so easy to deal with, Sun Quan would not stupidly put him here.

And the three generals under Cao Ren's command, Chang Diao, Wang Shuang, and Zhuge Qian, rushed directly to Zhongzhou behind the city on an oil tanker, wanting to take advantage of the Jiangdong army to take care of them and directly break the dock fort in Zhongzhou, and then take away the relatives and heirs of Zhu Huan and other Jiangdong generals.

Everything seems to be heading in a better direction for Cao Jun.

It's just that what they didn't know was that when Chang Diao and the others rushed to the vicinity of Zhongzhou, the Jiangdong Naval Army, which had been guarding the flank of Wet Beard City on the Yangtze River, ushered in a group of guests.

"General Luo Tong, why are you here?" The general of the navy is Zhou Shao, the son of Zhou Tai, who was on the warship in Jiangdong at this time, looking at Luo Tong who suddenly appeared, he really didn't know what he was doing here.

"Major General Zhou, this time a certain family came here on the orders of Governor Zhu Huan!" When talking about Zhu Huan, Luo Tong was also very embarrassed, and he was also very troubled by this guy who was crazy at every turn.

"A certain Zhou Shao, not a major general!" Zhou Shao really didn't like the title of major general, "Did Governor Zhu Huan bring any orders?" ”

"A certain family with its own soldiers will follow the general to Zhongzhou Wubao, where to intercept Wei General Chang Diao and others, and drag them!"

Hearing Luo Tong's words, Zhou Shao's brows immediately furrowed, he really couldn't understand the current bearded governor named Zhu Huan!

"Damn, he's such a madman, what does he think, now tens of thousands of troops are here, you know? Then Cao Tai and Cao Ren in their rear will launch a general attack on Wet Whisker City at any time, and now Governor Zhu Huan is actually thinking about his own family? ”

"This is General Zhu Huan's order, I'll just follow the order!" Luo Tong directly arranged for his men and soldiers to start boarding the ship, "Naturally, General Zhu Huan is personally guarding here!" ”

"Town guard, what kind of town guard is he taking!" Zhou Shao is also an old man who has been with Zhou Tai for many years, and he doesn't even know how many years he has been stationed in Weixu City, he followed his father, fought with Zhang Wenyuan, fought with Cao Mengde, and fought with the generals of the Wei army who don't know how many.

But never before has I fought so aggrieved like this one.

As the commander of the navy, he had no effect at all, and watched as the tens of thousands of troops asked Zhu Huan to send points to the east and the west, and turned the forty or fifty thousand troops into less than five thousand people to garrison this city.

And now, it seems that there are not even 5,000 people in the city, as one of the several generals under Zhu Huan, the appearance of Luo Tong directly took away nearly 30% of the troops in the city, and it is not bad that there are 3,000 people in the city at this time.

With 3,000 people, and without the flank protection of the navy, can the city be saved, he Zhou Shao really doesn't think that this guy named Zhu Huan can be saved!

"General Zhou Shao, do what you are told!" Luo Tong is not a person who is valued by Zhu Huan, that is, Zhou Tai didn't like this scholar very much.

"You have to think about it, if you leave here, a certain family thinks that this city may not be able to be saved!"

"Someone knows!" Luo Tong snorted coldly, "Who hasn't persuaded the stubborn governor, but who can persuade him, if you don't go and kill me now, what can you do?" ”

When Zhou Shao heard Luo Tong's words, his face also became a little ugly, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, and then saw that many Jiangdong soldiers had already boarded the boat, so he snorted coldly.

"Raise the sails and go to Middle-earth!" Zhou Shao is no longer verbose, since Luo Tong has said this, what else is there to be verbose.

"Gone!" Luo Tong didn't greet Zhou Shao anymore, and took his men to the place where they should go, and after a while, they were going to start a melee with the Cao army who raided their families in Zhongzhou, and they must rest at this time.

Watching Jiangdong's warships leave, Zhu Huan on the wall of the city wall and Cao Tai under the city both showed a smile.

Cao Tai saw the Jiangdong warship leaving, indicating that at this time, the city was at most the five thousand soldiers, and it might not even be enough for the five thousand soldiers.

"The Jiangdong Army brought about its own destruction, and now it is actually letting the Navy leave, in this case, this God-given opportunity I will wait for An Neng to give up!" After Cao Tai saw the movement of the Jiangdong naval army, he did not hesitate, and began to organize the army as soon as possible, and then rushed directly to kill it.

"Army, kill with a certain family!"

Cao Tai not only looks like Cao Ren, but he is even more crazy when he moves, and his posture of slamming and rushing is simply the same as his father's, Cao Tai's face at this time is so hideous, so crazy.

Zhu Huan looked at Cao Tai who rushed up, and also snorted coldly, "Soldiers, meet the enemy!" ”

"No!"

With Zhu Huan's roar, the soldiers also began to respond, but in this loud promise, it can always make people feel what it means to be "strong outside and dry in the middle".

The two sides exchanged hands very suddenly, the madness of Cao Jun followed their main general, and Jiangdong's tenacity was as good as ever.

It's just that this time the attack of the two sides has become a little weird, there is no temptation, no confrontation, it is a desperate fight when it comes up, and both sides seem to have risked their lives.

Cao Tai directly took out all his strength, took all the Cao troops out, and rushed towards the city.

There are high mountains and rivers on the north and south sides of the city, and for the current Cao army, there is no way to attack at all, and what can be attacked is only such a city wall in the east.

As such a castle built by Koto with all its might, it can be said that it is one of the strongest fortresses in Koto, and it can be said that it is one of the most important places in Koto, and the castle is tall and strong.

But even if he was such a tall and strong city, in front of nearly ten times or even more than ten times the number of troops, it would also become precarious in an instant.

The speed at which the Jiangdong soldiers shot out their bows and crossbows was far from catching up with the speed of the Cao army's charge, and the Cao army continued to attack the city and climb the city walls, which made the Jiangdong soldiers feel a strong pressure in their hearts.

"Du Du...."A guard beside Zhu Huan came to him at this time, "The Cao army is attacking too quickly, I'll wait, I'm about to be unable to hold on." ”

"Poof!" As soon as the guard finished speaking, he felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and then lowered his head to see his general, his own governor, stabbing him in the stomach with a sharp knife, and the hand holding the knife was still stirring.

"Du Du...."The guard looked incredulous, as if he couldn't believe why, why he was loyal, but he died in the hands of Zhu Huan.

"Poof!" The guard finally didn't wait for Zhu Huan to give him an answer, the short knife was pulled out by Zhu Huan, and his body fell to the ground.

"Whoever dares to surrender lightly, die!" Zhu Huan roared, and then after this roar, a team of soldiers armed with big swords appeared here, led by Yan Gui, a partial general.

At this time, the partial general Yan Gui's face was full of solemnity at this time, holding a huge ghost-headed knife in his hand, looking so hideous and terrifying, as for the other soldiers, they were also dressed up like him.

"See them?" Zhu Huan walked to Yan Gui's side and looked at the back of the Jiangdong soldiers who were fighting, seemingly talking to himself, but he knew that those soldiers could hear it, "They really can't stop you, but they are not all of the firing squad, and the rest of the people are all arranged near your respective homes!" ”

When this sentence was spoken, Zhu Huan could see with the naked eye, and these soldiers in front of him suddenly had a thrill all over their bodies, just when they couldn't help but turn around and ask Zhu Huan what those words just now meant.

Zhu Huan said again.

"The city is saved, you wait for the family to reunite, the city can't be kept, you can have a family reunion!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Huan no longer paid attention to their soldiers who were fighting bravely, turned around directly and went down the city wall, and when he left the city wall, he looked at Yan Gui and whispered a word.

"If they fail, light a fire and let the city and their families live and die together!"

Zhu Huan left, but the others didn't go, all the soldiers didn't go, not only did they not go, but the soldiers who were fighting on the city wall suddenly went crazy and rushed over, killing the Cao army who rushed up.

They are not afraid of death, and they are not afraid of surrender, but they are afraid that after their death, their families will be implicated, which is why many people would rather die in battle than surrender.

But they're not the only ones now, even if they die in battle, they won't be able to save their families if they don't save them.

This kind of desperate strategy made them fear and hate Zhu Huan, but they were helpless, what they could do was to win, that is, to keep the city.

"With this method, even if you save the city, is it really appropriate?" Yan Gui looked at the Jiangdong soldiers in front of him who were constantly killing one by one, he didn't know what he should say, and he didn't know what feelings to express in his heart about Zhu Huan.

The 5,000 soldiers in the city of Wet Whisker let him directly send more than 1,000 people out and send them to the warships of the Jiangdong Navy, and then went to fight with Chang Diao and others in Zhongzhou, and then he took the remaining 2,000 people to fight to the death with the Cao army.

But now it has only been less than a day, and the Jiangdong army has suffered heavy damage, in Yan Gui's eyes, maybe the Jiangdong army can hold on for another day or two, or longer, but there is no difference, Cao Jun rushed over, it was just a matter of time.

But Yan Gui didn't care much about this matter, because he and Zhu Huan were both waiting for this day, waiting for the day when Cao's army attacked and entered the city.

That night, Cao Jun attacked for a full day without attacking the city, in desperation, Cao Tai chose to temporarily repair, looking at the already crumbling city wall of the city, Cao Tai showed a hideous smile.

Just when Cao Tai was thinking about how to rush up tomorrow and then directly attack this Wet Whisker City, suddenly an exclamation came from his side.

"General, look, look over there!" The guard stretched out his hand and pointed to the light in the distance, it was a light that suddenly appeared, or... Firelight!

On the shore of Zhongzhou, not long ago, Zhou Shao came here with Luo Tong, looking at the Zhongzhou Wubao on the shore that was desperately fighting and desperately resisting Cao's army.

"General Zhou Shao, what do you think now?" After all, Luo Tong is not a serious general, he can only say that he used to be a famous man and a scholar, and then he began to abandon his pen and follow Rong.

For marching and fighting, maybe he is not a failure, but he is also qualified, but at least he is really a lot worse than a veteran like Zhou Shao now!

Zhou Shao didn't have too much entanglement when he looked at the battle on the shore, but asked a question directly, "What is the purpose of that Zhu Huan Governor?" ”

"Let me wait and hold them back, and then try to make as much noise as possible." Luo Tong was also very happy, and he said Zhu Huan's explanation without hesitation.

"That's great!" Zhou Shao looked at those fighting Cao soldiers, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Come on, light the rockets, and burn their ships for me, a group of guys who don't understand anything, in a water war in the wet beard, dare to use oil tankers!" ”

The so-called oil tanker is wrapped in cowhide for armor, and the cowhide is coated with tung oil, which can defend against arrows and stones more effectively, this is a kind of warship newly developed by Cao Wei, compared with the warship style that is now popular in Jiangdong, this kind of oil tanker is the most robust, and it is also the best for the defense of arrows and stone bullets.

But in the end, this kind of thing was also added by them with a heavy weapon "slap stick", which is a kind of big killing weapon with the most important thing to protect against arrows.

The long-range attack was ineffective, and under the close-range attack, the tanker was equipped with a slap rod to avoid the close range of the two sides from rushing and killing.

But in Jiangdong's eyes, this kind of thing is just a joke, what kind of oil tanker with strong defense, sprinkled tung oil on the warship, did he feel that he didn't lose the Battle of Chibi badly enough?

Making rockets is indeed the most time-consuming, but Zhou Shao has been on the road for so long, where can he still get such a thing as a rocket, and he has already thought of a way when Luo Tong said that he would let him and himself come to fight Cao Jun.

Luo Tong saw the groups of Jiangdong sailors bending their bows and arrows, and then one by one the arrows were ignited by the flames, and quickly shot towards the oil tankers of the Cao army.

Soon, the surface of the river was on fire.

At this moment, not only interrupted Cao Jun's attack, but also made Cao Tai and others under the city also see this scene, this sky-rushing fire, this sky-high killing....

"That's Middle-earth? Did the Jiangdong Navy go to Zhongzhou? Cao Tai was not stupid, looking at the sky-high fire, "It seems that this Zhu Huan really cares about his relatives and heirs!" ”

Cao Tai first showed a sneer on his face, and then a little surprised, "But he is such a one, there is indeed some problem, Changdiao They have no baggage supplies, and there is no fortress to defend, if the Jiangdong soldiers are blocked in Zhongzhou, this is not a long-term solution." ”

The guard looked at Cao Tai, and then nodded vigorously, "You're right!" ”

"Tell the soldiers, rest tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow must take the city of Wet Whiskers, and then go to support the General Chang Diao in the Middle Continent!" Cao Tai has directly decided, and they will directly attack the city in front of them tomorrow.

"No!"

Cao Ying slowly fell into silence and silence, and then at this time, the gate of the city of Wet Whisker City slowly opened a gap, and a group of more than 100 people escaped from the Wet Whisker City, and then rushed straight to Cao Tai's camp.

"We are waiting to surrender, we are going to surrender, don't do it, don't do it!"

Holding their hands high and their weapons horizontally to show that they had nothing, the group of soldiers rushed to the door of Cao Tai's camp, and then knelt outside.

Cao Tai, who was just about to rest, was awakened by this group of people, and then ran out directly in his robe, looking at the Jiangdong soldiers kneeling outside him, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Who are you? Why did you come here to surrender, but there was a deception? ”

Listening to such an unskilled question, not to mention the many soldiers in Jiangdong kneeling outside, even those soldiers of Cao Jun were a little embarrassed.

"We are all soldiers of the city, we are waiting because we can't stand Zhu Huan's cruelty, so we came to defect to the general, come to defect to the general!"
