In the Jiangdong military camp, Zhou Yu summoned Cheng Pu and others to the tent.

"Gong Jin called us over, did it come to the enemy army that came to help?" Before entering the tent, Cheng Pu asked him.

"Exactly." Zhou Yu said: "Guangling Taishou Chen Deng is also a character, our army has suffered some small losses in his hands before, if the enemy army does not come to reinforce, it is only a matter of time to capture Guangling." Now that the enemy reinforcements have arrived, and if they continue to be entangled in Guangling, it is likely that the retreat will be cut off by the enemy. ”

"Gong Jin means ......," Chen Pu asked.

"Retreat." Zhou Yu said: "Retreating thirty miles, there is still a threat to Guangling, and the only way for the enemy to remove the threat is to keep up." Without Guangling City as a support, our army and them would fight on the battlefield. ”

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang looked at each other.

He nodded and said, "What Gong Jin said is, then we will retreat thirty miles." ”

"Without further ado, please also ask General Cheng to give an order as soon as possible." Zhou Yu arched his hand to Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu said: "I'll go and give the order." ”

Leaving Zhou Yu's tent with Huang Gai and Han Dang.

Han Dang asked Cheng Pu, "General Cheng, do we really want to retreat?" ”

"Gongjin uses soldiers, you two don't know it." Cheng Pu said: "He has always been resourceful, and when it comes to strategizing, the three of us plus one are not his opponents." If you don't listen to him, will you still listen to you? ”

Huang Gai and Han Dang both pouted.

The Jiangdong Army retreated, and Chen Deng at the head of Guangling City breathed a sigh of relief.

Sima Yi, who came here with troops, did not feel relaxed.

Outside Guangling City, Sima Yi personally went to the city to call the door.

"The defenders of the city, hurry up and report to Chen Deng, Taishou." Sima Yi shouted: "It is said that Sima Yi came to the aid on the order of the prince, and asked him to open the city gate quickly." ”

"I'm Chen Deng." Chen Deng poked his head out, arched his hand to Sima Yi and said, "Guangling is in a hurry, thanks to the general who brought the troops here, the enemy army retreated. ”

"If Taishou thinks that the enemy army is retreating, it is wrong." Sima Yi said: "They are just retreating as advancing, hoping to lead the army to a decisive battle. After repelling reinforcements, you will be able to attack Guangling calmly. ”

"Wait a minute, general, I'll let people open the city gates." Chen Deng didn't say anything more, and instructed the guards on the side: "Open the city gate." ”

The guards ran down the walls as fast as they could.

Chen Deng also followed down the city.

Not long after, the city gate was opened, and Sima Yi, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu led a large army into the city.

Sima Yi once presided over the affairs of Xuzhou, and as the Taishou of Guangling, Chen Deng certainly recognized him.

Seeing Sima Yi enter the city, Chen Deng saluted and said: "Guangling guards Chen Deng too much, and I have seen General Sima. ”

"It's not polite to be too conservative." Sima Yi raised his hand, and then asked him, "The two beside me, presumably Taishou also know each other." ”

Lu Bu and Chen Deng can be regarded as acquaintances, and Zhao Yun has also met him.

After saluting Lu Bu and Zhao Yun respectively, Chen Deng greeted: "I've seen General Lu, I've seen General Zhao!" ”

"Jiangdong Sun Ce sent two troops to attack Gongzi's territory." Sima Yi said: "Gongzi went to Lujiang in person, and I came to Guangling with General Lu and General Zhao. I heard that Chen Taishou had won a game before, I don't know how he fought? ”

"Zhou Yu led the troops to Guangling, and while their foothold was not stable, I personally led the troops to attack." Chen Deng said: "Maybe he didn't expect our army to dare to attack, so we picked up a bargain." ”

"It's a bit aggressive, but it's also a method." Sima Yi said: "This time, Zhou Yu remembered the lesson of the last time, and when he saw the reinforcements of our army coming, he led the army to retreat. If I catch up, he will have at least five or more ways to inflict a big loss on my army. ”

"What is General Sima going to do?" Chen Deng asked.

"South of Guangling is the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Zhou Yu's retreat happens to be backed by the Yangtze River." Sima Yi said: "I will let him be stationed there." ”

"Let them be stationed there?" Chen Deng asked, "Isn't General Sima worried about them attacking the place?" ”

"What's there to worry about." Sima Yi said: "Since we have come to Xuzhou, of course we can't be led by them. If they want to fight, they have to do what we think. ”

"Chen Taishou." Sima Yi continued: "Your people are familiar with the neighborhood, find some guides to guide our army." I will order a small group of soldiers and horses to go out of the city, and nothing else, just protect the surrounding villages and towns, so that the enemy army will not be able to obtain food and grass from them. In addition, Gongzi has ordered the navy to enter the Yangtze River, not to fight a decisive battle with the Jiangdong navy, but to cut off the connection between Guangling and Jiangdong. After a few days, Zhou Yu's army will be without supplies, and I will see what they can expect to spend here with us. ”

"The ...... of the navy" Chen Deng frowned: "General Sima, the Huainan navy is newly built, and there are not many warships, and Jiangdong has always been good at the navy...... Childe sent the navy army here......"

"Childe also told me about this before leaving." Sima Yi said: "The Jiangdong Navy not only has many warships, but also the soldiers of the Navy are good at water warfare. In the event of a war with them on the Yangtze River, our army does not have any advantages at all. But it is impossible for the Jiangdong Navy to land in Guangling on a large scale, after all, the Navy only has some ability on the ship, and when they go on land, which of them are the opponents of our Cao family's heavy armor? ”

"Childe has a long-term plan, and he really thinks more thoughtfully than us." Chen Deng asked, "Is General Sima planning to trap Zhou Yu to death in Guangling?" ”

"Zhou Yu is not an easy one to deal with." Sima Yi said: "How easy is it to trap him to death in Guangling? Gongzi only wanted the Jiangdong Sun family, and he didn't dare to covet Huainan, Xuzhou and other places anymore. ”

Approaching Chen Deng, he whispered again: "It's best to take a city south of the Yangtze River from the hands of the Jiangdong Sun family, and in the future, when our army goes south, we don't have to kill you and me on the water with the Jiangdong navy." ”

"Qu'a and other places are suitable." Chen Deng said: "I'm afraid that our army will not be able to cross the Yangtze River at all, and will be blocked on the water by the Jiangdong Naval Army." ”

"The enemy army is still on the border of our Guangling territory." Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said to Chen Deng: "It's too early to think about this, let's follow my strategy and cut off Zhou Yu's back road first." ”

"That's what the general said." Chen Deng responded, and then instructed the officers behind him: "Find some sergeants who are familiar with the nearby terrain and lead the way for the generals under his command." ”

Zhou Yu retreated thirty miles, and news came from Tanma, saying that Sima Yi had no intention of catching up, but led his troops into Guangling City, as if he was planning to fight for a long time.

After receiving the news that Sima Yi led the army into Guangling, Zhou Yu frowned, pinched his chin and looked very bad.

"Gongjin, what's wrong?" Cheng Pu came to his side and asked him.

"This time we've met opponents." Zhou Yu said: "If you are not careful, you may be wiped out." ”
