The city walls of Fancheng are tall, living in the upper reaches of the Han River, and the city is ancient, but it is firm and hard.

Huang Zu led 20,000 troops and traveled 200 miles for 200 days and nights, stationed in Fancheng, where he waited for Sun Jian's soldiers and horses after occupying Xinye.

"Tell Huang Taishou, Sun Jian led 40,000 troops to occupy Yuyang City!"

"Tell Huang Taishou that Sun Jian will lead 20,000 troops to train in the plain a hundred miles away from Yuyang City!"

Huang Zu was furious and yelled: "Don't report every day, where is Yuyang City, where is Fancheng, Xinye has not arrived yet!" As long as he hasn't attacked the city, don't tell me! ”

Jiang Wen was wearing a thick cloth coat and looked at the snow falling from the sky outside the house, "It's snowing, our army has been in a stalemate with Liu Biao for a month, counting the days, General Cheng Pu should have arrived." ”

Sun Ce poured himself a cup of hot water, "A large amount of grain and grass in our army was taken away by General Cheng Pu, and the current grain and grass can still support it for ten days, if our army is not defeated by Liu Biao within ten days, then we have to retreat." ”

Jiang Wen didn't speak, holding a hot cup in his hand, Sun Ce looked at Jiang Wen's worried look, and knew the worry in his heart at the moment, after all, if this plan is successful, he will directly take half of Jingzhou! But it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

A soldier rushed in from outside the house, "Tell the major general, the military advisor sacrifices wine, Liu Biao's reinforcements have arrived!" ”

"How many soldiers and horses has Liu Biao arrived?!" Jiang Wen immediately looked at the soldier and asked impatiently.

"Seventy thousand, General Sun said, you will be able to reach Fancheng in three days!"

"Seventy thousand!!" Jiang Wen was blowing hot water, his heart was extremely excited, and he let out a long breath, "This plan is done!" ”

Holding back his excited heart, Jiang Wen's fingers were trembling slightly, and he took a shallow sip of hot water, which looked particularly comfortable, "Seventy thousand soldiers and horses, plus the soldiers and horses of Fancheng Huangzu, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. As long as our army marches tomorrow and occupies Xinye, when the time comes, it will march forward to Fancheng, and he Huang Zu will be far away, will Bo Fu be afraid in his heart? ”

Sun Ce shook his head and laughed, "It's just some soldiers and horses composed of thieves, and my family's soldiers and horses have never been afraid of Dong Zhuo's 150,000 army with 60,000 soldiers." How can these 100,000 bandit troops recovered under his Liu Biao make our army afraid?! ”

Wancheng, Yuan Shu collapsed to the bed, Yan Xiang on the side beckoned the doctor to go down, Yuan Shu opened his eyes, "Did Sun Jian and Liu Biao fight?" ”

Yan Xiang bowed and saluted and said, "Tell the lord that the garrison has been in place for a month, and he has captured several cities that Liu Biao has not garrisoned, and he has not fought at present. ”

Yuan Shu sat up and took off the hot towel on his forehead, "Is this Sun Jian child entertaining me Yuan Highway, a month...... It's been a month, and you haven't arrived in Xiangyang yet?! ”

Yan Xiang saluted and said: "Lord, in the opinion of the ministers, Sun Jian may have seen through Yang Changshi's strategy, and deliberately did not move, and the marching speed is therefore so slow, in fact, just wait for the lord to send troops to attack Xiangyang with him." Lord, now that Liu Biao's reinforcements have arrived, there are 70,000 troops in Xiangyang, plus 26,000 soldiers and horses in Fancheng, almost 100,000 soldiers and horses! ”

Yan Xiang continued: "If we don't help Sun Jian, after Sun Jian withdraws, Liu Biaobing Ge will definitely point to our army, and then our army will not only not get half of Jingzhou, but even lose Wancheng!" ”

"Go and send 50,000 stone grain and grass to Sun Jian, and discuss it after the dispatch ......of troops" Yuan Shu sighed, he wanted to sit on the side of the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for Sun Jian to fight with Liu Biao, so that he could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but Sun Jian endured it for a month, but he just didn't fight! This character is not like Sun Jian......

In Lujiang County, the army drove here, but there were thousands of soldiers and horses at the gate of the city, and Cheng Pu's heart was a little vigilant.

Among the soldiers and horses, an unusually handsome young man walked out and saluted Cheng Pu and the others: "The grass people's name is Zhou Gongjin, I heard that the generals are going to march to Jiangxia, so they deliberately sold their family property, and there are 7,000 soldiers and horses here, and I want to help the generals on a journey." ”

"Gongjin?!" Lu Meng suddenly called out among the soldiers and horses, and Cheng Pu, who was originally vigilant, looked at Lu Meng and asked, "Do you know this person?" ”

Lu Meng shook his head and said: "The last general has only had a relationship with him, so he doesn't know him, but he is a good friend of Major General Bo Fu. ”

"Oh?" The look of vigilance on Cheng Pu's face dissipated, and he turned to a little please, carefully looking at the young man in front of him, "How did you know that our army would be here?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "When the general attacked Dong Zhuo, he used his troops vigorously and resolutely, Liu Biao was not as good as Dong Zhuo, but he could make the general stationed, no one in Jingzhou did not covet three feet, the art of war cloud: ten to surround it, five to attack Liu Biao's reinforcements did not arrive, the general decided to be several times that of Liu Biao, but he did not attack, one is because Yuan Shu behind him is eyeing him, and the other is that he has other ideas. ”

Cheng Pu sighed and said, "Even so, what can I do, I think it is very difficult for this plan to succeed, and the final result of this trip should be to occupy Yuzhou." ”

Zhou Yu smiled and saluted and said, "The grass people told the general a good news, Jiangxia's men and horses had already sent troops to aid Xiangyang ten days ago!" ”

"This news can be true!" Cheng Pu's heart trembled and said excitedly.

"It's true!" Zhou Yu nodded unquestioningly.

Cheng Pu laughed and looked around, "Heaven will help us!" ”

Zhou Yu muttered slightly: "You can take Jingzhou if you enter, and you can also take Yuzhou if you retreat, the talent who makes this plan is terrible, and you can get a big help." ”

Lu Meng looked at this Zhou Gongjin carefully, Jiang Wen and Sun Ce mentioned this person to themselves, and most of the words were praised, and Lu Meng naturally became a little sensitive to Zhou Yu's name.

If it was as expected, he also knew that this person would inevitably become friends with Sun Ce, Jiang Wen, and even himself in the future.

Lu Meng sighed secretly, why are all the friends around him more beautiful than him?

The 20,000 elite cavalry also gathered Zhou Yu's 7,000 foot soldiers, and there were 27,000 soldiers and horses heading towards the stone pavilion.

You must know that the garrison army in Jiangxia has already arrived in Xiangyang to support, and if these 27,000 soldiers and horses appear in Jiangxia, they can be taken down directly without blood!

The stone pavilion is a place of water farming, and it is named because of the pavilion. There are fish and shrimp in Shiting Liuhe, and the people eat according to the water, and live in the agricultural mulberry, which is also a kind of living and working in peace and contentment.

The surrounding people who were plowing the fields looked at the soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared, and their faces were slightly stunned, but they immediately appeared excited and joyful, "General, are you General Sun's soldiers and horses?" ”

"Can you still see another lion like this in the whole world?" Cheng Pu smiled and nodded, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Li Er is the head of this village, he is over half a hundred years old, and his gray beard makes Li Er look very old, "The grass people visited the general, General Sun crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and I heard that he saved the Son of Heaven again, so the real heroes who saved the world and saved the people made the grass people extremely admired." ”

"In order to help the general, today's grass people specially offered 50,000 stone grain and grass to the general, and some young men in the village have already heard about General Sun, so they are waiting to join the army in the coming year, since the general is here, it will save trouble, quickly, call those young men to come!"

did not agree to the persuasion of the old people, Cheng Pu said goodbye to these old people with military affairs, and quickly left the stone pavilion.

But once again, I got 4,000 recruits, as well as 50,000 stones, grain and grass, and now I have 30,000 soldiers and horses! This terrifying influence comes from the fact that the general saved the Son of Heaven!

The benefits of the Son of Heaven are competing to be used, and when he thinks that it is a baby younger than himself who came up with this strategy, Cheng Pu can't help but smile, heaven and man are precocious, isn't this the truth?!

At present, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining soldiers and horses in Jiangxia are definitely only 3,000, as long as they capture Jiangxia at a lightning speed, they can continue to march into Jiangling!

When the time comes, Jiangling will be taken, and then Xiangyang will face the situation of being attacked by the enemy. The general can then march head-on and capture Xiangyang!

Cheng Pu's blood boiled at the thought of this, and he ordered Lu Meng and Zhou Yu to chase after him with his soldiers, and he and Huang Gai continued to ride the army and march towards Anhui City, and they must reach Jiangxia directly within three days!

It's all about being fast!
