"Humu, you take two thousand men out of the city to have a look." Lu Meng was puzzled and said to Zhu Huan beside him: "Remember, after leaving the city, you can't fight all the way to the north, and see if the enemy is going to Chaisang......"

Speaking of this Zhu Huan, after Sun Quan became the commander of Yuyao, he solved the plague for the local people, recruited soldiers, and crusaded against the local bandits, and everywhere he went, the bandits were pacified. Later, he replaced Zhou Tai as the governor of the Wet Beard. Lu Su knew the courage of Liu Pan and Zhang Jaw, and Lu Meng was the commander of the First Army after all, so he sent Zhu Huan to Nanchang to assist Lu Meng.

Although Zhu Huan is brave, he has a problem that he is not ashamed of being a subordinate, and he doesn't like to be sent very much, that is, people like Lu Su and Lu Meng who have proven their abilities, Zhu Huan usually ignores them. However, this time it was a matter of Chaisang's safety, although Zhu Huan was unhappy, he still reluctantly responded.

"The last general commands!" Yesterday, Lu Meng analyzed that the enemy might go to reinforce Chaisang, and Zhu Huan certainly understood his mission, mainly to see the enemy's movements. Lu Meng wanted to give another order, but found that Zhu Huan had already turned around and left, and hurriedly ordered all the men and horses to open the city gate and go north.

After Zhu Huan went out of the city, he found that yesterday was still a lively battlefield, where the main force of the enemy army was, unusually quiet, and his first reaction was, did this Liu Pan go to Chaisang? Although Nanchang is the seat of Yuzhang's governance, Chaisang has gathered nearly half of the naval army in Jiangdong, and the defenders of Nanchang are also transferred from Chaisang after the start of the war.

The importance of Chaisang can be seen, and Liu Cong attacked Chaisang in the north and won successive battles, but Liu Pan made no progress in attacking Nanchang, it is entirely possible that the enemy changed his strategy, first surrounded Chaisang, took Chaisang and then went south to attack Nanchang. At that time, Nanchang will be a lonely city without the barrier of Chaisang!

Zhu Huan has been out of the city for more than ten miles, but he still hasn't found a trace of the enemy, so he can't help but get a little hot! Did you really go to Chaisang? I walked forward for five or six miles according to Lu Meng's instructions, but there was still no movement!

"I have to go back as soon as possible to tell the general that the enemy is going to Chaisang." Zhu Huan sent people back to Nanchang to report the news, and at the same time planned to continue to march north, so as to see how far the enemy had gone. Then just when the messenger had just left the large army and Zhu Huan was about to move on, he found that the situation was not right.

There seems to be something strange in the surrounding grass!

"Kill!" Before Zhu Huan could react, hundreds of arrows flew over. Immediately after that, from both sides what a book countless enemy troops!

"Withdraw!" Zhu Huan knew that he had been ambushed, and he only brought 2,000 people, and Liu Pan said that there were 30,000 people.

Zhu Huan rode a war horse, of course he could run out. Half an hour later, Zhu Huan rushed to Nanchang City, panting and saying to Lu Meng: "General, I have been schemed, I have ...... been schemed."

It's just that I pity those infantry, after a baptism of arrows, followed by the encirclement of tens of thousands of people! When he followed Zhu Huan, there were two thousand people, but only three or four hundred people could return to Nanchang City! This should be the day when Lu Meng and Liu Pan have lost the most against each other.

Lü Meng could not bear to go out of the city, resulting in the loss of fifteen or six hundred soldiers. Of course, Zhu Huan's carelessness is the main responsibility, but at this time, Lu Meng has no intention of blaming Zhu Huan. Since Liu Pan is in Nanchang, it is better than going to Chaisang. Liu Pan deliberately laid an ambush, and it was impossible to find out the information without paying the price.

And the reason why he was not allowed to relax his vigilance and do other things was that Liu Pan's army followed those deserters to the city. A new day actually starts at noon!

The next day, it was very quiet! It was so quiet that the people in the city panicked, the soldiers guarding the city panicked, Zhu Huan panicked, and Lu Meng panicked...... Because of this whole day, Liu Pan's army did not appear near the city gate of Nanchang. When night fell, Lü Meng sent two generals from the West Gate and the North Gate respectively to investigate the whereabouts of Liu Pan's army.

However, this time the number of people brought was not large, only a hundred people in each direction, which was also a last resort. Lü Meng didn't want Zhu Huan to be ambushed again, but the enemy's situation was unclear and he couldn't leave the city in large numbers. But Chaisan can't leave it alone. Although sentries were constantly sent during the day, they rarely came back, and even if they did, they were intercepted back, and there was no information at all!

Half an hour later, the two generals came back in disgrace, followed by only a few horsemen, as for those infantry, without exception, they were ambushed and killed on the spot! And the conclusion is that the enemy's situation is unknown, but at least tens of thousands of people are near Nanchang! The leader is Zhang Jaw, if it weren't for them running fast, I'm afraid they would die on the spot!

Damn it! Although I know that on this battlefield, either you die or I live, I am still a little depressed to see Liu Pan, who has always been known for his bravery, playing such a small trick. However, he knew that this might be Xu Shu's ploy again, just to lure himself out of the city.

After these days of confrontation, Lü Meng also quickly had a long range of crossbows, but it seemed that they could not fully exert themselves in the siege. And if the two sides set up a position to attack in an open field, it will definitely be the Jingzhou soldiers who have the advantage. Moreover, Liu Pan and Zhang Jaw are brave, Lu Meng asked himself that he and Zhu Huan were afraid that they would not be able to resist!

Besides, Lu Meng couldn't afford to give up the cover of the city wall and go to Liu Pan to fight a decisive battle in the wilderness. But without leaving the city, the enemy may march on Chaisang, so he must constantly send people to test it. And Liu Pan grasped this point and was ready to wait for the rabbit!

Don't look at such a little bit of consumption, the original county soldiers in Nanchang City, plus the newly recruited ones brought by Lu Meng, are less than 25,000 people, and the loss is 1,005 a day, what kind of concept is that, in less than 20 days, Nanchang City will change hands! Therefore, you must not fall into Liu Pan's ambush repeatedly, no matter how provocative it is, Lu Meng will not go out of the city easily!

On the third day, Liu Panyi's army did not appear at the north gate of Nanchang, and Lü Meng sent sentry detectives from the morning. But this time they were much more careful, and they just saw the Jingzhou barracks tent from a distance and folded back. And once Lu Meng sends a team of men, he will definitely be ambushed!

After repeating this for several days, listening to the subordinate generals, he didn't see Liu Pan, but Zhang Jaw seemed to be there all the time, and every time he led people to ambush and pursue. As time passed, Lu Meng was a little unable to sit still. Liu Pan's approach doesn't seem like a long-term practice of luring the enemy out of the city?

The loss of dozens of sentry cavalry in a day is still acceptable in Lu Meng's opinion, but as an attacker, can Liu Pan also accept such a result? And Liu Pan hadn't shown up for several days, and Lu Meng began to have a premonition that something was wrong.

"General, Zhongling County (Jinxian) ordered to report that the people of several townships in the north of the county seem to be instigated and are ready to come to Nanchang to rescue Liu Shang......"

"Huh?" Lü Meng seems to have been prepared, Liu Cong has been in Yangzhou for many years, and finally died of illness in Yuzhang, and now Liu Cong sent Liu Shang to be the vanguard, the purpose is to collect Liu Miao's old department. Now although Liu Shang has used it to exchange for Xu Sheng, these old departments don't know that two months have passed, could it be that Liu Pan finally plans to use this card?

Lu Meng was not worried that a few people would come to Nanchang to make trouble, not to mention that they would not be able to enter the city, even if they did, they would have no weapons and professional training, and they would have no combat effectiveness. On the contrary, if Liu Pan encouraged them to go to Zhongling, it would also cause vigilance, after all, Zhongling's garrison was limited, and it was Yuzhang's land passage to Poyang and Wu County.

Of course, since there was movement, Lu Meng naturally had to be prepared, and sent a group of men and horses to prepare to patrol outside the south gate of Nanchang. It turned out that there was a false alarm, and everything was calm in the townships adjacent to Zhongling in the south! Lu Meng once again focused on Liu Pan.

On the sixth day after Liu Pan moved his position to the north gate, Lü Meng finally sent a team of 5,000 men to prepare for a comprehensive search, and the men and horses in the city were ready to meet these people at any time. This time it was unexpected again, and all the way from Nanchang to the north for thirty miles without encountering an ambush!

The enemy is gone! While the general was camping in place, Pegasus told Lu Meng!

Or let them slip away! Lu Mengi's reaction was that Liu Pan was doing drama to paralyze himself, and it was obvious that Liu Pan's goal at the beginning was Chai Sang.

If you extrapolate according to this, in six days, Liu Pan has been gone for five days! What is the concept of five days? The march route from Nanchang to Chaisang is only two hundred and fifty miles! Six days is enough time for Liu Pan to arrive in Chaisang with a large army and a large amount of baggage! Even the jaw that was still near Nanchang yesterday was only afraid that it was ......

Thinking that Zhang Jaw and Liu Pan acted separately, Lu Meng was even more determined that Liu Pan's goal was Chai Sang, and Zhang Jaw was responsible for delaying himself after the break, the purpose was to intercept his pursuers! And the so-called Zhongling people's troubles are afraid that it is also a smoke that has been planned for a long time.

He himself must not be able to wait in Nancheng anymore! The situation in Chaisang is not optimistic, if Liu Cong forms a siege, the pressure can be imagined!

Lü Meng immediately summoned all the generals, leaving Zhu Huan with 5,000 men to guard Nanchang, and the rest of the nearly 20,000 horses went all the way north to pursue Liu Pan! I want to reduce the pressure on Chaisang Lusu as much as possible! Lu Meng looked at the army behind him, constantly urging, he knew that there would definitely be an interception ahead, but no matter what, he had to find Liu Pan as soon as possible and hold it off!

Lu Meng just secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that it was not too late for him to come out! But perhaps he never dreamed that it was these precious five days, the five days of his indecision, that many things happened around Chaisang, the main battlefield in the north!

……

In the temporary military tent of the Hukou camp, Liu Cong had a serious face, and there were constantly heralds coming to tell him.

"My lord, General Guan has already fought the enemy again in Gutang, and the enemy army is about 8,000 people......"

"My lord, General Jiang Qin led his troops into Saihu this morning, losing five hundred men. In the afternoon, he led his troops into Bali Lake......"

"Lord, General Yu is already on standby ten miles northwest of Gutang......"

"Lord, General Huo Jun has crossed Chiwu, and he will be able to reach Chaisang ...... tomorrow"

"Lord, General Liu Pan has arrived at Liling (De'an) with 20,000 horses, and General Zhangjaw has also passed the sea dusk (now Yongxiu) ......"
