Hua Wenxuan and Guo Jia inspected the Chinese military camp that was close to ruins, wisps of green smoke rising from the still burning wood and spiraling upward, and the sky was gradually overcast.

Li Dian and Le Jin returned to the camp one after another, offering the captured gold and silver, forged national letters, seals, etc., Cao Pi ordered the forgeries to be burned with disdain, and the gold and silver were all rewarded to the soldiers.

Qin Lang, who was shot twice, was fortunate to be fine, and he was able to get up after bandaging, Cao Pi summoned everyone to wait anxiously for the military report in the direction of Shouchun in the discussion tent, if Xu Huang really robbed Yuan Shu, then Shouchun would really be at his fingertips.

Cao Pi anxiously paced around the sand table, and his soldiers lost more than half of them in this battle, and if Yuan Shu escaped back to Shouchun, his previous efforts would be wasted.

Hua Wenxuan stood beside Guo Jia and asked in a low voice, "How can Feng Xiaogong conclude that the dispute with General Xu Huang must be able to win Yuan Shu's trust?" ”

Guo Jia glanced at Hua Wenxuan, "Since our army left Xudu, the secret agents from all sides have followed closely, Runan is close to Shouchun, how can Yuan Shu's eyes and ears not only follow the process with our army, not to mention that there may be other people's eyes in our army." ”

"Oh? Someone else's eyeliner? Hua Wenxuan looked at Guo Jia in surprise, "What Feng Xiaogong said about others must not be Yuan Shu, right?" ”

"The position of the eldest son of Zihuan has many enemies for him in the court, and now that Cao Gong has died early, the princes of the Quartet are ready to move, and it is not surprising that he has mixed in a few eyeliners." Guo Jia said calmly, "Strategists must make good use of the convenience of others, sometimes the information sent back by the eyeliner is not necessarily the truth, the so-called can strategize more, good judgment is few, if you want to control the world's strategy, you must think about it, do the opposite!" ”

"Feng Xiaogong's words made Wenxuan suddenly open up and be taught! Learn! Hua Wenxuan raised his hand lightly and secretly made a gesture of worship.

Guo Jia did not recognize this modern gesture, and smiled without saying a word.

At this time, a herald broke into the big tent and reported: "General Xu Huang has intercepted Yuan Shu's defeated troops in the west of Shouchun City and is pursuing!" Cao Pi and Guo Jia couldn't help but show a smile on their faces.

"Li Dian, Le Jin, quickly return to the villages to prepare, and after half an hour, start marching to Shouchun overnight!" Cao Pi excitedly ordered.

A big victory made the soldiers of the Cao army rejoice, and all the fatigue under the heavy reward turned into a cloud of smoke, not to mention that if Xu Huang succeeded in forcing Yuan Shu away, Shouchun would be an empty city, and the army would inevitably fall to the wind.

The two generals were about to be ordered to return to the camp, when suddenly another person broke in outside the door and reported: "Countless sparks suddenly appeared on the Huai water in the west of the village, and there are boats going upriver from the south, I don't know how many of them!" ”

Guo Jia looked horrified, and hurriedly asked, "What is the flag of the ship?" ”

"I vaguely see that it is a grandson character"

Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but be surprised, Jiangdong Sun Ce? This Sun Ce didn't stay in Jiangdong, what was he doing in Huainan?

Cao Pi's expression also changed greatly, the fierce battle was resting, and the soldiers were tired, where could he go through another big war?

Cao Pi didn't say a word, picked up his sword and went out of the big tent, and Guo Jia, Hua Wenxuan and others hurriedly followed.

Arrived at the Xizhai Gate, everyone boarded the lookout, only to see the huge river, the lights were bright, countless warships moved in unison, were going upriver and approaching the West Gate, and the center of the earthy red military flag fluttering on the ship was embroidered with the word "Sun" of Douda.

Guo Jia couldn't help muttering, "Why did you come so quickly?" ”

Hua Wenxuan asked, "Did Feng Xiaogong already expect that Sun Cejun would also come?" ”

"Zihuan marched day after day, on the one hand, in order to take Shouchun before Zijian and General Xiahou, and on the other hand, to end the battle before the other forces had time to react." Guo Jia glanced at Cao Pi, "Since I left Xudu, the school government has seized various secret reports one after another, among which there are many secret letters to and from Jiangdong. After Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu in the lower Jiangdong, his strength has become bigger and bigger, and he has long coveted Qingxu, this time taking advantage of the prime minister's new funeral, if Zihuan can be defeated here, then our army will definitely have no time to take care of Qingxu! It's just that our army is galloping, why did Sun Cejun happen to arrive here at this time? ”

Hua Wenxuan took a deep breath, this Sun Ce really wants to be a yellow bird? If there is a war at this time, the Cao army will be defeated, not to mention that the number of people is far from the wind, crossing the river overnight and fighting fiercely for a day, the soldiers have already collapsed from overdraft, where can they withstand the fierce battle?

Hua Wenxuan looked at Cao Pi, and his immature and resolute face also showed a look of fear, however, the arrogance in his bones made him never say such a thing as retreating, not to mention the hardships all the way, fighting hard so far, once he retreated, his previous efforts would be wasted!

Hua Wenxuan looked at the shallows outside the west of the wall, and said in his heart: With such terrain, if I do it like Ganning on the border of Wancheng, I don't know if it will work? But at that time, it was only a few people, and the current situation had to be thousands of people, to say the least, right? But if this method is not followed, when Sun Ce's army rushes to the beach and lands, the land Cao army will have no chance of winning!

Cao Pi frowned, and commanded in a low voice: "Li Dian, Le Jin, quickly raise the troops and horses of the headquarters, and line up along the river, if Sun Ce wants to come, let him cross the corpse!" ”

"The last general commands!" The two turned and went back to their respective barracks.

Guo Jia stood beside Cao Pi and said silently: "There is no chance to win in war, and the best way in front of you is to take a step back and negotiate peace with him." Guo Jia's face became more and more solemn, "But if you want to negotiate peace, you still have to let Sun Ce know, and the war will be a defeat for both sides." ”

Cao Pi looked at Guo Jia and asked, "What does Feng Xiaogong mean?" ”

Guo Jia sighed, "There is still a battle!" Let Sun Ce know that our army still has the strength to fight! At the beginning of Jiangdong, Sun Ce may not be willing to fight with our army, this time he should want to take advantage of the two tigers of our army and Yuan Shu, he came to enjoy the success, if he knows that our army can still fight, it is very likely to avoid fighting! ”

"What's the point?" Cao Pi was surprised and asked, "How did Feng Xiaogong expect that Sun Ce would be this kind of mind?" ”

Guo Jiayao pointed to the warship on the Huai River, "It's only three or five days away from Jiangdong, why bother to sail upstream?" It's here, why don't you stay far away from the shore and the army will come to cover up? Why are you here? Therefore, Feng Xiao expected that Sun Ce's move was a temptation, and there was still a gap between war and non-war! ”

Hua Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, what Guo Jia said was not unreasonable, if he really wanted to fight, why bother to ship to the front of the battle? After all, there were no landing ships during the Three Kingdoms, and the big ships could not enter the shallows, so they could only cross slowly in small boats.

The sky was completely dark, and the bonfires in the barracks slowly lit up half of the sky, Guo Jia secretly instructed to go down and "light more torches, and the military flags should be placed on the walls along the riverbank", and on the other hand, the Chinese army beat drums to warn, and for a time the war drums on the banks of the Huaishui River shook the sky, and the flags were all over the place, and the momentum gradually rose.

Sun Cejun's big ship traveled to about half a mile, and on the bow of the first ship, two young men in brocade clothes were looking at this side, two stood side by side, one pressed the sword and pointed to the shallows with his left hand in the air, and the other stood majestically with his arms crossed, not afraid of the shaking of the warship. Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but secretly admire from afar, when he was really majestic and heroic, he must be the "Jiangdong Shuangbi" that is incomparably simulated by Tao Wulu today: Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Cao Pizheng hesitated, from the big ship of Sun Ce's army, scattered countless sampans, for the first member of the bearded general led hundreds of shirtless soldiers to support the boat and came to the shallows, look at the flag, it is Sun Ce's army general: Ding Feng!

Guo Jia posted to Cao Pi's side and whispered: "If you win a battle, there is still a chance to talk about peace, and the code will be defeated!" ”

Cao Pi responded softly, pulled out his sword, and was about to speak, when Hua Wenxuan pulled Cao Pi's cloak from behind, "Don't panic, let Wenxuan meet them!" ”

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, but Guo Jia showed joy on his face, and bowed his head slightly, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but secretly scolded: Guo Jia, you old fox, haven't you just told me to hear it, first remind me that the method of Wancheng fighting Ganning is used here, and then hint that the battle must be won, and victory can be discussed, where can you find someone to fight in this huge Cao camp?

Hua Wenxuan glanced at Cao Pi, who was still puzzled, and did not defend himself, walked straight down the lookout and walked towards the shallows.

The Huainan breeze in late spring is very cool, and the humidity in the air is high, and it looks like a mountain rain is about to come since the daytime. Hua Wenxuan stepped into the Huai water, and the shallows were full of smooth pebbles, which made the soles of Hua Wenxuan's feet hurt. In the distance, Sun Cejun on the sampan had already jumped into the shallows under the leadership of Ding Feng and waded into the water, and he couldn't help but be surprised to see only a short-haired man standing alone in the water outside the gate of the village. After a little hesitation, Ding Feng didn't care much, pulled out the short knife on his waist, and shouted, "Rush!" Hundreds of Sun Cejun rushed towards the gate of the village, and Hua Wenxuan, who was guarding the door alone, looked like a stumbling block to the mantis arm, and would be swallowed by the crowd in an instant.

Cao Pi on the lookout couldn't help but sweat, only to see countless queues wading in the water like sharp arrows in the shallow water waves and waves, straight into Hua Wenxuan, who was standing in the water like a lone sail.

The drizzle in the sky slowly fell, and there was a faint fishy smell in the air with the wind, and the breeze accompanied by the raindrops slapped on Hua Wenxuan's face.

Hua Wenxuan took a deep breath, the energy surging in his body became more and more difficult to suppress with this panic and nervousness, and his brows slowly twisted together.

On the short knives wielded by people in the distance, the bright moonlight was reflected, there was a burst of lightning in the sky, and the "rumbling" explosion thunder came from the sky, Hua Wenxuan secretly said in his heart: God help me!

He squatted down suddenly, inserted his hands into the water, and a burst of white electric sparks exploded with Hua Wenxuan as the center point like ripples caused by a boulder thrown into the sea, and the energy bursting with pale blue light swept across the entire water surface, and in an instant, the shallows where the original shouting of killing seemed to stand still, and there was no sound!
