Jiangdong, Qu'a County.

Sun Ce led the army north through Xuzhou, and Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing and uncle Wu Jing stayed in Jiangdong. Although the two are not outstanding, they are quite virtuous. After Sun Ce went to war, the two cooperated and handled Jiangdong's government affairs in an orderly manner.

General's Mansion, backyard.

Wu Jing and his sister Mrs. Wu sat opposite each other, Mrs. Wu looked worried, and said slowly: "Brother Jing, in the past few days, my eyelids have been jumping non-stop, and I always feel that something will happen. I wondered if Ce'er was having some difficulties. You send someone to ask, how is Ce'er's condition? ”

Wu Jing smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, the lord is all right." Last night, I met with the scouts who had returned from the front. The scout said that the lord wanted me to send the food as soon as possible. You think, Ce'er is still urging food, it must be good. ”

"That's the same thing!"

Mrs. Wu bowed slightly, and there was still a trace of worry in the depths of her eyes.

"Report!"

Just then, a soldier approached.

Wu Jingdao: "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier replied, "Lord Hui, Lord Sun Jing, please go to the hall to discuss matters." ”

Wu Jing waved his hand and said, "I'll come right away!" Immediately, Wu Jingdao: "Sister, Youtai is looking for me, and it is estimated that it is a matter of grain and grass." I'll have to talk to you about it, and I'll come back to see you when I have time. ”

Mrs. Wu nodded and sent Wu Jing away.

Wu Jing came to the outside of the hall and looked up, only to see Sun Jing pacing back and forth in the hall.

Sun Jing's move was quite anxious.

This scene made Wu Jing feel puzzled for a while. Jiangdong is thriving, Sun Ce is resolute and decisive, and he is a wise lord. Sun Jing, as Sun Ce's uncle, is also infinitely beautiful, how could he show such a posture?

Wu Jing thought to himself, could it be Sun Jing's private matter? Wu Jing had such a thought in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest hint, he stepped into the hall and said with a smile: "Brother Youtai is looking for me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Sun Jing said anxiously: "Brother Xian, something is wrong!" ”

Wu Jing laughed for a while in his heart, and said in his heart: Sun Jing is also a person in a high position, so he can't hold his breath. He waved his hand and comforted: "Brother Youtai, what happened to make you look like this?" ”

Sun Jing said quickly: "Liu Biao sent a naval army along the Yangtze River and went straight to Qu'a. ”

"Ahh

With an exclamation, Wu Jing's body shook and almost fell to the ground.

This news is really amazing.

Wu Jingqiang suppressed the shock in his heart, and said again: "When Cao Cao attacked Wang Lei, Liu Biao had already expressed his support for Cao Cao's attack on Wang Lei. Although Liu Biao did not send troops, his position was still firm. Brother Youtai, is the news you got fake? When such news spreads, it will cause shock. ”

Sun Jing's expression was serious, and he said: "I can tell the weight of this point clearly, the news of Liu Biao's dispatch of troops is not half false, it is accurate." This time, Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to serve as the general of the navy, leading 20,000 sailors along the river. According to the latest news, after the Jingzhou army arrived in Lujiang County, Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang County, directly returned to Shun and supported Cai Mao's army. ”

Wu Jing frowned and said: "In this way, Liu Biao is already on Wang Lei's side. I had received news before that Lu Kang's son Lu Jihe was studying in Jizhou from Sun Lu Xun, so it seems that Lu Kang has long been in contact with Wang Lei. ”

Sun Jing said eagerly: "Brother Xian, now is not the time to analyze. Now the focus is that Ce'er left Jiangdong with a large army, and the counties lacked troops, once the 20,000 water troops in Jingzhou were killed, what could they resist? Moreover, Lujiang was too guarded by Lu Kang and returned to Shun, and Cai Mao's troops increased greatly, probably no less than 30,000 troops. The situation in Koto is very not optimistic. ”

After Wu Jing heard this, his expression was extremely solemn.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Jingdao: "Although the two of us are the people in charge of staying behind, we have to rely on Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong when we encounter something. The two are very talented, invite them to discuss, and then determine what to do? ”

Sun Jing nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!" ”

Immediately, Sun Jing sent soldiers to invite Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two came to the hall.

After sitting down, Sun Jing quickly explained the matter, and then said: "Mr. Zibu, Mr. Zigang, the Jingzhou army is coming, what should we do?" ”

Zhang Zhao's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Biao's character is very weak, and he belongs to an indecisive type of person. According to Liu Biao's character, it is impossible to express his position directly. But Liu Biao suddenly said that something was wrong. ”

Zhang Hong nodded, and then asked, "Jingzhou, is there any news from the spies?" ”

Wu Jing and Sun Jing both shook their heads, indicating that they had not received the news.

Wu Jing was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Two gentlemen, the point now is that the Jingzhou army has been killed, and Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang County, has surrendered again. It's about how to solve it, not about what went wrong. ”

When Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao heard this, they fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhang Hong said: "I think we should adopt a stubborn strategy and not let the lord come back." Now it is in the critical period of besieging Wang Lei, once the lord leads the army to withdraw, Wang Lei's pressure is reduced, and the joint attack on Wang Lei is likely to give up halfway. Moreover, the lord and Zhou Yu left with a large army, but the counties in Jiangdong still had a certain number of troops, and they could also organize soldiers to resist. ”

Sun Jing nodded, quite agreeing.

Wu Jing pondered carefully, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Zhao, looking forward to Zhang Zhao's analysis.

Zhang Zhaodao: "I can understand and understand Brother Zigang's analysis. However, I take the opposite opinion. For Jiangdong, every city and place captured by the lord was exchanged for the blood of soldiers, and no place could be abandoned. The lord fought with Wang Lei's army on the front line, Jiangdong lacked troops, and we transferred the main forces back to defend, and the rest of the cities were in danger. Suppose we defeat Wang Lei, but Jiangdong is thrown into chaos because of the attack of the Jingzhou army, what do we get? ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhao continued: "Not only did I not get any benefits, but I damaged my strength. On the other hand, Wang Lei was not defeated, but there are Xuzhou and Qingzhou in the north of Jiangdong, and even the Yangtze River as a natural barrier, not afraid of Wang Lei. I think that we should focus on the foundation of Jiangdong, and ask the lord to withdraw to Qu'a to resist the attack of Jingzhou. ”

Zhang Hong shook his head and said quickly: "I can understand the meaning of Zibu, and I can understand it." But in the long run, Wang Lei must be suppressed. If you don't suppress Wang Lei now, and when Wang Lei defeats Cao Cao, it will develop a general trend, which will be detrimental to the future development of the lord. ”

Zhang Zhao insisted on his opinion and said stubbornly: "Even the current situation can't be stabilized, what will we talk about in the future?" Although Jiangdong is pacified, there are still mountains and countless bandits. Once the Jingzhou army is killed and Jiangdong is in turmoil, these people hiding in the shadows will definitely add fuel to the fire. Brother Zigang, Jiangdong can't make any trouble, and he must send someone to invite the lord back. ”

Zhang Hong's face was strained, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he fell into deep thought. As Zhang Zhao said, Jiangdong seems to be strong, but it is based on Sun Ce's strength.

Now, with Sun Ce leading troops and the Jingzhou army coming, the hidden dangers in Jiangdong are likely to erupt.

Wu Jing, as the person in charge, pondered for a long time before interjecting and said, "I support Mr. Zibu's analysis and am in favor of sending someone to ask the lord for help." Jiangdong is the foundation of the Sun family, and there is no room for error. ”

Sun Jing said: "I also agree! ”

Zhang Hong sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then focus on the safety of Jiangdong." Send someone to inform the lord and ask the lord to come back for help. Zhang Hong agreed, and there was no disagreement, and Sun Jing immediately sent someone to inform him.

……

Xingyang, located in the east of Luoyang.

Liu Bei led his army to the Tiger Prison Pass, launched an attack with lightning speed, conquered the Tiger Prison Pass like lightning, and approached Luoyang. Uniting to attack Wang Lei, Liu Bei raised his hands in approval. The hatred between Liu Bei and Wang Lei has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. With the opportunity to attack Wang Lei, Liu Bei naturally will not let it go.

After overcoming the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei was full of ambition and looked forward to the day when he broke through Luoyang.

In winter, the weather in the north is getting colder and colder.

In the palace, Liu Bei was chatting with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei cooking wine.

Guan Yu drank the wine, his face became more and more ruddy, and his red face became extremely red. He squinted his eyes slightly, stroked the long hair under his chin, and said slowly: "Wang Lei was besieged and could not escape death." And the eldest brother has conquered the Tiger Prison Pass, and Luoyang must be in the eldest brother's pocket. We occupied this place of Luoyang, and then took advantage of the situation to kill back to Xingyang, and then took Chenliujun as well. ”

Zhang Fei said: "The second brother is reasonable, Chenliu County borders Yuzhou, and taking Chenliu will be beneficial to the development of the eldest brother." Anyway, after defeating Wang Lei, he has to fight Cao Cao, it doesn't matter if he is earlier or later. ”

Liu Bei held the wine bottle and shook it gently. Looking at the clarified wine, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "The matter of attacking Chenliujun is temporarily suppressed, and the first priority at the moment is to defeat Wang Lei." ”

"That's right! Defeat Wang Lei! ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei clenched their fists, and both of them had endless fighting spirit in their eyes.

"Report!"

A shout suddenly sounded outside the mansion.

A soldier quickly ran in, got down on one knee, and said loudly, "My lord, there is an urgent report from Runan. Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent the general Wen Ping to lead an army to attack Yuzhou. Now, the Jingzhou army has approached Runan. ”

In an instant, Liu Bei's complexion changed greatly.

Yuzhou is Liu Bei's foundation and cannot be lost.

Liu Bei slapped the desk and shouted: "Liu Biao is too deceitful!" ”

Guan Yu said: "Brother, Liu Biao chose to stand on Wang Lei's side by doing this. ”

After Liu Bei's anger passed, he quickly calmed down. With a cold expression, he said: "The situation is very favorable to us, but Yuzhou is our foundation. Without Yuzhou and the capture of Luoyang, we are also rootless and difficult to gain a foothold. ”

Guan Yu said: "Does my brother mean to retreat?" ”

"Withdraw!"

Liu Bei clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness. For Liu Bei, who has been in exile for many years, with a place to live, a heart can be steady. It can be said that Yuzhou is Liu Bei's reverse scale.

Liu Biao's entry into Yuzhou has touched Liu Bei's scales.

For the sake of Yuzhou, Liu Bei can let go of everything.

Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Order the three armies, slowly retreat, and return to Yuzhou!" ”

"No!"

The soldier received the order and immediately went to make arrangements.

……

Puyang County, Cao Jun Camp.

The Cao army and the Jizhou army fought a decisive battle, and the fighting between the two sides continued every day. From the beginning to the present, it has evolved into a war of attrition. Cao Cao united all the princes to fight against Wang Lei, and he used the power of the world to fight. Cao Cao only had Qingzhou and Yanzhou under his command, and the foundation was weak, but Cao Cao was still insisting, and he didn't believe that Wang Lei could defeat all the princes of the world.

In the camp, Cao Cao was reading the news from the army.

Cao Cao must be aware of the daily deaths and injuries. When Cao Cao was dealing with military affairs, Xun You and Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked in, their eyes full of worry and anxiety.

After saluting, the two sat down.

Cao Cao frowned when he saw the expressions of the two, and asked, "Military Division, Gongda, you came in a hurry, looking anxious, what happened?" ”

Xi Zhicai and Xun You nodded, their expressions solemn.

Cao Cao chuckled in his heart, it must be a big deal to let Xun You and Xi Zhicai be like this, he put down the brush in his hand and said in a deep voice: "What happened?" ”

Xun You said: "Strategist, come on." ”

Xi Zhicai sighed lightly and said helplessly: "Lord, I just received the news from the scout that Sun Ce from the eastern battlefield led the army to withdraw from the battlefield. At present, Sun Ce hurriedly led the army to Jiangdong. We had just gotten the news, and the news suddenly spread through the camp. When the soldiers learned about it, they all talked about it, and their morale was also affected to a certain extent. ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Why did Sun Ce withdraw? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "We have calculated thousands of calculations, and we have missed Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Before, they all thought that Liu Biao's weakness and incompetence were grass on the wall. But Liu Biao actually chose Wang Lei, and he sent Cai Mao to lead the naval army along the river to approach Qu'a. The Jingzhou army launched an attack, Jiangdong was unstable internally, and Sun Ce retreated. ”

Cao Cao chuckled in his heart, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious.

Battlefield confrontations have always been a trigger.

Jingzhou has made a move, and it is impossible to simply target Sun Ce.

Cao Cao said: "Since Wang Lei planned Jingzhou, his actions will definitely not only be aimed at Sun Ce, Liu Bei and we will also be attacked. Hurry up and find out what else is going on. ”

"Report!"

As soon as the words fell, a soldier ran in quickly.

The soldier hugged his fists and said: "My lord, Xun Yu sent someone to send news that Liu Biao sent the general Wen Ping to lead the army and attack Yanzhou. ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he looked like this.

Up to now, Cao Cao suppressed the horror in his heart and tried his best to remain calm.

"Report!"

Another soldier rushed in and said loudly: "My lord, there is news from Luoyang that Liu Bei led the army to withdraw. According to the news sent back by Liu Bei's soldiers, Yuzhou was attacked by Jingzhou's troops, so Liu Bei withdrew. ”

"Shhh

Cao Cao gasped, Wang Lei was really ruthless.

If you don't make a move, it's just a killer shot.

Cao Cao was also stunned by these two news, and had to marvel at Wang Lei's means. Taking Jingzhou as a breakthrough will affect the trend of this battle.

This trick can be said to be extremely spicy.

"Lord, something is wrong!"

A loud voice sounded, and Xu Chu strode in.

Xu Chu looked anxious and said loudly: "Rumors suddenly spread in the camp that Sun Ce and Liu Bei's rear had been attacked and had withdrawn with their troops. There were even soldiers who said that our rear was also attacked, and even more soldiers said that the lord was about to be defeated. The last general caught a few soldiers who were spreading rumors and killed them on the spot. However, after this incident, the morale of the military was greatly affected. ”

"Alas......"

Cao Cao sighed again and sat down on the ground.

"Defeated, defeated!"

Cao Cao's face was full of endless helplessness. He gathered the princes of the world to attack Wang Lei, but he did not expect that Wang Lei's clever move would cause the princes to collapse.

In fact, Cao Cao still hasn't figured out how Wang Lei persuaded Liu Biao.

But that doesn't matter anymore!

The princes retreated, and Cao Cao faced Wang Lei's forces alone, and it was impossible to stop it. Wang Lei's victory is a matter of time, and his defeat is doomed, and everything has become a foregone conclusion.

……

Fanyang County, Jizhou Military Camp.

Wang Lei arrived at the camp and personally commanded. When the news of Sun Ce and Liu Bei's withdrawal came back, there was endless joy in Wang Lei's eyes. It can be said that Cai Chi's task was completed quite beautifully.

The alliance of princes collapsed, and it was time to defeat Cao Cao.

Wang Lei stood in the camp tent, standing tall, his eyes swept over Lu Bu, Zhou Tai, Zhang Jaw, Tian Feng, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and other generals in the army, and said loudly: "The coalition army gathered by Cao Cao has collapsed, the morale of Cao's army is low, and the time is ripe to defeat Cao Cao in one go. Everyone, fight to your heart's content. Take Cao Cao and lay the overall situation of Jizhou to pacify the world. ”

"Please give the Lord's order!"

Lu Bu looked excited and excited.

"Please give the Lord's order!"

"Please give the Lord's order!"

The military generals all echoed, and the heroic momentum echoed in the tent.

Everyone here knew what kind of situation it would be after defeating Cao Cao and pacifying the world, and they were extremely excited in their hearts. Wang Lei gave one order after another, watching the generals leave, with endless confidence in his eyes.

There is no suspense in this battle.
