Chapter 275 - Sound East Strikes West

Overnight, the tall and sturdy city of Changsha changed hands. With the dawn approaching, the dilapidated Sunzi banner fell from the city tower, and the Chuzi banner began to rise and hang on the wall.

Under Zhou Bo's orders, the Chu army, after breakfast, continued to march towards Wuling in the southwest.

…………

The warm spring breeze in the past has brought people a throbbing at the moment.

Outside Wuling City, a galloping horse was galloping in the middle of the road, bringing gusts of residual wind, blowing the tender green grass on both sides of the road trembling slightly.

"Report! Liu Bei's army is less than twenty miles away!"

At this time, Sun Ce, who was discussing the tactics with everyone in the hall, received the news of the scout.

When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately put down his work and said, "Prepare the horses quickly!" I want to welcome General Liu into the city in person!"

"No!"

Sun Ce and the generals waited outside the city gate for a while, only to see a large group of people coming in the distance.

Under the blowing of the spring breeze, the big flag of the word "Liu" fluttered. Plumes of smoke and dust flew from under the soldiers' feet.

Walking at the front of the team is naturally Liu Guanzhang and the four people.

"Hahahaha, General Liu, don't come unharmed!" Sun Ce immediately greeted him.

Liu Bei dismounted and said, "Bo Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

"Alas, isn't General Liu telling a joke? In the past few days, brother, I have been defeated in a row......"

Before Sun Ce could finish speaking, Zhang Fei's rough voice came from the side.

"Hey, hey, I said, who is your brother? My eldest brother has come from afar, why don't you welcome my eldest brother into the city to rest?!"

"Third brother!"

"Yide!"

When Liu Bei and Guan Yu heard this, they immediately scolded.

"My third brother's temper is too upright, which makes Bo Fu ugly, and I ask Bo Fu to forgive me." Liu Bei immediately spoke.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's a negligent strategy, the general is about to enter the city, and I have prepared wine and food to wash the dust for the generals. ”

When the people entered the city, they should take their seats.

At the banquet, except for Liu Bei and Sun Ce, everyone else was forced to laugh, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while, making people feel depressed.

Just then, a scout rushed through the door.

Sun Ce was about to scold, but after listening to the scout's words, the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Everyone present was also surprised by the scout's words.

"You, you, say it again!" Sun Ce's body began to tremble slightly.

"General Gong Fu died in battle, and Changsha City was lost!"

The scout's words echoed in Sun Ce's mind over and over again.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Please also ask General Sun to mourn and change, and your body is important!" ”

"General Gongfu! It's Bo Fu who hurt you! Say it, Sun Ce immediately cried bitterly.

Under the persuasion of everyone, it stopped. Then he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiang Yu, I will be inseparable from you!"

"General Liu, I beg you to send troops quickly to help me defeat the Chu army, and I will swear to avenge General Huang!" Sun Ce said, and immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Bo Fu, please get up quickly, you and I are already eating the king's fortune, and we are colleagues."

"Thank you General Liu for your great kindness!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly helped him up. When everyone saw this, they gradually had a good impression of Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.

……

At this time, Cao Cao, who was in Yingchuan, was not idle, and personally led his troops to Changge.

As early as three days ago, Cao Cao got the news that Xiang Yu had entered Changsha. After consulting with everyone, Cao Cao immediately made the decision to march into Lujiang County.

However, the premise of Cao Cao's dispatch of troops to Lujiang was that he had to pass through Changge Pass, where Yue Fei was stationed!

After making a decision, Cao Cao led the generals and 50,000 people to Changge, intending to break through the pass and drive straight in.

The reason why Cao Cao dared to send troops to Changge was naturally to make all preparations. After learning that it was Yue Fei who was stationed at Changge, Cao Cao also relieved a little of his heart, but he was far from taking it lightly.

However, his subordinate generals scoffed at this, in their opinion, Yue Fei's name was unknown, at most he was a middle-level and upper-level general in the Chu army, and his ability was not strong.

After all, if this person had the ability, he would not have been sent by Xiang Yu to guard the pass!

What the crowd doesn't know, however, is that they will regret their contempt at this time! Because this battle will be Yue Fei's famous battle!

Cao Cao took 50,000 people and arrived at Changge Pass in a few days. Due to more than two months of construction, Changgeguan at this time has been different from the past.

After two months of construction, the city tower of Changgeguan has been increased by nearly one zhang, and a few dark holes and sharp knives have been added to the city wall, and even a moat seven feet deep and more than one zhang wide has been dug out under the city.

At this time, Changge Pass is like an iron wall, towering majestically at the junction of Lujiang River and Yingchuan.

After observing the surrounding terrain, Cao Cao first ordered to set up camp, and then discussed with everyone about the siege measures.

…………

In the city, Yue Fei's father and son looked at the Jiujiang Army camp under the city, and Yue Fei couldn't help frowning.

Yue Yun, who was standing on the side, saw that his father was in trouble, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Why should my father worry, I also ask my father to give the child 5,000 soldiers and horses, and let the child rob his camp at night, so as to retreat his soldiers and relieve his father's worries!"

Regarding Yue Yun's request, Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Yun'er is still young, don't talk nonsense!" There are four fierce generals around Cao Cao, all of whom have amazing martial arts and are very invincible. Besides, the soldiers in the city are well fed, so there is no need to go out of the city to fight with them!"

"Oh, okay then." Seeing this, Yue Yun had no choice but to continue to look at the Jiujiang Army not far away.

The next day, Xiahoudun personally brought 5,000 men and horses to call for battle under the city. Yue Fei directly ordered someone to hang out the anti-battle card, and when Xiahou saw this, he had to lead his troops back.

After a day of scolding, Cao Cao learned that Yue Fei was a cautious person. Therefore, it is worth restarting with everyone to discuss countermeasures.

At the suggestion of Zhang Liang and others, Cao Cao resorted to a plan to attack the east and the west, secretly sending Xiahoudun and Xia Luqi to make a detour of 100 miles, directly attack Changge County behind, and ordered people to cast a hill less than 100 steps outside the city.

For several days, the two sides seemed to live in peace, and there was no friction.

Yue Fei watched the hills outside the city continue to rise, and he was also puzzled.

After all, this city wall is so high, even if it really wants to attack the city with mounds, the Jiujiang army will have to dig for at least a month or two, otherwise it will be useful.

But if it takes a month or two, I am afraid that the king has already led people to take down Sun Ce, and then as long as there is a reinforcement, then Cao Cao will not fall short? No, Cao Cao must have other tricks.

Thinking of this, Yue Fei hurriedly called Niu Gao and ordered him to take 5,000 soldiers and horses to Changge County to garrison. I stayed here and continued to hold on.

Unexpectedly, before Niu Gao could lead the army, the Jiujiang army under the city suddenly launched a fierce attack.

Helpless, Niu Gao had to stay with Yue Fei to resist the siege of Jiujiang soldiers.
