The Chang'an soldiers jumped over the wall in a hurry, and Gan Ning did not dare to go into the depths again, only wandering away on the edge, killing the enemy. These soldiers who fell into the water would be drowned if they didn't need Gan Ning to kill, and Gan Ning was just harvesting some heads and making some achievements.

At this time, the chain fleet and the south bank were less than 100 zhang, and the Jiangdong naval army went out of the alley and lined up to snipe the people who crossed the river in Chang'an. The fog had lifted, and the two sides were clear.

The first time he saw the enemy's situation, Zhou Yu on the shore was even more anxious, he was taken aback by Lu Bu's handwriting, and secretly hated that he was not strong-willed, he should have lit the warship and burned the boat, but now it was too late, the warship in the alley was separated by the Jiangdong own warship in the rear, and now ignite the warship, wouldn't he burn his own fleet first?

"Ballista, Thunderbolt ready!" Lu Meng of the vanguard fleet shouted angrily.

Before the Jiangdong Army entered the firing range, the thunderbolt on the ship opened fire first: "Leave no firepower, shoot!" ”

Boom, the stone giant arrow smashed up a few zhang high, and there was a water curtain of one or two miles along the river, which frightened the Jiangdong fleet not to approach.

"It's done!" Xu Shu wiped the cold sweat on his face, and finally dared to take a breath.

Frustrated Zhu was also relieved, and the conversation and laughter began: "Lu Ziming's hand is really beautiful. If our army faces the enemy on the river, it will not be the opponent of the Jiangdong Army, even if it is outnumbered. Ziming's hand shocked the opponent, and the opponent didn't dare to come forward. ”

Ballistas, thunderbolts can only hit the enemy at a distance, if the Jiangdong naval army rushes forward to fight hand-to-hand regardless of losses, even if Lü Meng can successfully cross the river, he will suffer heavy losses.

After all the ballistas in the front row were bombarded, not a single crossbow arrow hit the opponent, but the Jiangdong fleet looked frightened, and no one dared to rush first.

"Two teams of ballistas, ready. A team of ballistas intensified their loading of arrows. Don't stop firing, shoot! ”

"Three teams prepare, one team turns, fire covers the flanks, and two teams fill ......"

Lü Meng commanded the soldiers in front to do no use, forcing back the enemy ships blocking the way. The surface of the river is full of floating arrows.

Zhou Yu saw that the general trend had gone, and the enemy brigade was getting closer and closer, and it was impossible to stop Lu Bu from crossing the river: "The crossing of the river by the Chang'an army is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to fight the trapped beasts." Immediately order the fleet to retreat upstream and downstream, preserve strength, as long as the river is cut off, the other army will not be replenished, I see what Lu Bu's army will eat! ”

"All the boats in the alley sailed into the river. The shipyard was burned, and not a single piece of wood was left for Lu Bu. The rest of the personnel, all retreat to Xiangyang, and immediately build the city wall! ”

The white flag beckoned to order the troops to retreat, and Lu Bujun had just crossed the river, and Zhou Yu did not feel that he had been defeated. It's too early to talk about victory or defeat. He insisted on Xiangyang, as long as he cut off the food and grass of Lu Bu's army, he could drag Lu Bu's army down.

Without the Jiangdong Navy blocking the road, the Chang'an Brigade slowly landed on the south bank.

Forcibly crossing the Xiangjiang River, the loss of more than 5,000 men and horses was far less than the loss expected by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was greatly relieved. When he arrived at Xiangyang City, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to attack Xiangyang, and the fortified cities in the world had not been broken from the outside since ancient times. Lu Bu must first ensure that his food and grass are sufficient. The Jiangdong naval army also did not suffer losses, and the grain and grass that Lu Lingqi had hoarded in Fancheng could not be transported across the river, and the only way was to reopen a grain route.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Although the grain and grass in Fancheng on the other side are within easy reach, our army can only look at the river and sigh. I intend to order Chen Gong to step up the transportation of grain from Wuguan to Shangyong, and the front line to take grain from Shangyong, what do you think? ”

Seeing that the overall situation was in his hands, he also thought about the grain and grass route that could be traveled at high speed: "General, the transfer of grain from Chang'an, not to mention the thousands of miles, is our army still able to hold on to the arrival of grain and grass in Chang'an?" The subordinates have a plan, which can be used by Fancheng grain and grass. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and walked to Fu Zhu, bowed down and asked, "Sir, speak quickly." ”

"It doesn't deserve to be a big general. Why didn't the general threaten to run out of grain and grass and want to flood Xiangyang. Then build a dam on the Han River to store water, which can not only intimidate the defenders inside and outside Xiangyang City, but also cut off the river and prevent the Jiangdong Navy from being able to destroy our army's grain transportation from Fancheng on the water! ”

"Sir's clever plan is like an initiation. As far as Mr. is concerned, please let Mr. Handle this matter with full authority. ”

"Dare not to die?" Fu Zhu did not postpone it, and divided the soldiers who had just crossed the river into two groups, one set up camp nearby, and the other went to the Hanshui River to intercept the river and build a dam.

————————————————————

Just when Lu Bu crossed the river, Wen Ping set up a position in ten miles west of the city. When he was about to fight against Lu Lingqi, the bell of Xiangyang rang loudly. Wen Ping was full of bitterness, he didn't withdraw early, he didn't withdraw late, he was at this time. The morale of the army is disturbed, and the war is impossible! Want to quit? Lu Lingqi ordered Zhang Liao to lead a partial division, and he had already been killed from the oblique stab, and if he wanted to return to Xiangyang safely, it was impossible to get out without losing so many one or two thousand corpses, and it was still unknown whether he could return to Xiangyang safely.

Wenpin believes that there is no chance of winning the battle, and it is not a good strategy to retreat immediately.

After thinking about it, he suddenly came up with a strange plan.

"Turn around immediately and retreat to the camp outside the city!"

Wen Ping led the army to retreat to the camp in the west of the city, and ordered all the soldiers in the camp to hide and not make a sound, so that the camp was silent.

Lu Lingqi and Zhang Liao really chased after them. Zhang Liao measured it carefully, and felt very suspicious, so he said to Lu Lingqi: "Although Wenpin is not famous, he is not an idle person. Now that I know that I am coming, but I am unprepared, there must be a lot of cunning in it, otherwise it will be an ambush outside. ”

"What my uncle said is not unreasonable. Just now Xiangyang Mingjin, you and I heard it. Could it be that my father had crossed the river and forced Xiangyang to retreat back to the city? Lu Lingqi was also surprised, she believed that her father could force the river crossing, but it was not necessarily too fast. As soon as Wen Ping left the city, there was a sound of gold, and Wen Ping led the army to retreat to the camp, and there was no half of a figure in the camp, which was too much of a coincidence.

Seeing that Lu Lingqi led the army to retreat, Wen Ping wanted to kill it, but he was worried that there was Lu Bu's army outside the city, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he took his men and horses back to Xiangyang from the south gate.

Wen hired out of the city, returned to the city without a soldier, Zhou Yu was cited as a genius, so he entrusted him with the important affairs of city defense.

Wuhu, Niuzhu.

This is a barren and remote, wisps of water thieves invaded by the Yangtze River beach, the opposite bank is the waters of Chaohu Lake, one side is the Huai River, there are many waters, become the plundering place of water thieves. After Jia Xu and Sun Quan had a stalemate, they built a large project here and built this wild beach into a garrison checkpoint.

It became lively, with a large number of migrant workers working inside and outside the city, building city defenses, building barracks, and building new ports.

Sun Quan's idea is very simple, that is, to hold on to the hard-won military power, and he will not let go of death, and he is even more unwilling to send them to the battlefield to die, which is the capital for him to settle down and seize power from the hands of the family. Jia Xujun on the other side? This is easy to say, as long as Jia Xu doesn't come to attack Jianye, Jia Xu will fight the city if he likes to fight, and it is best to kill all the families in the city. Sun Quan then used this 100,000 army to recapture the city from Jia Xu.

Sun Quan is not afraid that Jia Xulai will not retreat in Jiangdong. These days, he has thought deeply, as long as Jingzhou Zhou Yu is undefeated, Jiangdong is an enclave for Chang'an, beyond the reach of the whip.

After Sun Quan figured it out, Jia Xu was not an enemy in his eyes, but a thug and lackey who came to the door. After the change of mentality, Sun Quan did not have much hostility towards Jia Xu, and as for Han Dang, who was chasing after Jia Xu, he asked Sun Quan to jointly attack several unreasonable requests, but he was rejected by Sun 100,000 on the spot.

The two sides held each other for more than a month, and Jia Xu didn't see Sun Quan have a trace of movement, but there was constant friction with Han Dang's army behind him. Jia Xu didn't know what Sun Quan was going to do, he guarded the camp day by day, and when he saw that the grain and grass were going to the end, Jia Xu couldn't sit still anymore, and decided to abandon Wuhu and order a city to collect grain.

However, Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Yi couldn't stand Sun Quan's inaction. Fierce and fruitful, the temper is very similar to Sun Ce, not only the temper inherited Sun Ce, but also inherited his brother's handsomeness, since arriving at the Chai Qinhuai River, every time he rode a horse to inspect the construction of the project, often asked for troops to attack Jia Xu, which made Sun Quan have a headache.

Sun Yi returned to his own camp from Sun Quan's camp with a dejected face, and a personal guard stepped forward and said: "General Yusan, the spies have come to report that Jia Xu has abandoned the camps in Wuhu and is about to flee south. ”

"What, out of Wuhu? Good, good......" Sun Yi was only excited for a moment before being beaten back to his original form, his brother Sun Quan in order to compete with the family for power, he said that it was impossible to say that he sent troops even if he broke his mouth.

"Is the information accurate?" Sun Yi said again and again.

"The subordinates dare to vouch for the head, and the subordinates have seen it with their own eyes."

Sun Yi was ruthless and decided to bypass Sun Quan and directly use troops against Jia Xu. If Jia Xu is ignored, it is the people of Jiangdong who will suffer in the end.

"Jia Xu uses soldiers like a god, and poisonous tactics are difficult to prevent. I have limited troops, and I have the heart to kill the thief, but I can't fight. Sun Yi sighed unwillingly.

"The subordinates have a plan, please make a clear decision to the three generals."

"Speak."

"There are 100,000 soldiers on the front line of the Qinhuai River in the east, and Jia Xu's troops are only 30,000. Our side is several times larger than him, and his subordinates assert that Jia Xu will never dare to go east, and will definitely go south to Jingxian, Fuchun and other cities. The guard swore an oath.

Sun Yi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Immediately mobilize the defensive forces from Shizigang to the front line of the river, go to Taiping City to ambush, and send a messenger to contact General Han Dang to cooperate with our army to flank Jia Xu." ”

Sun Yi felt that what his subordinates said was very reasonable, and the troops in his hands were not enough to fight Jia Xu head-on, so he decided to demolish the east wall to make up the west wall, and dismantle a section of the defense line in his hand for ambush.

On the way to the Jia Xu Department in the middle of the Taiping Road, a member of the general complained: "Military advisor, Han Dang has caught up with our army since mid-day, and when it comes to sunset, he still does not fight. He fights and doesn't fight, walks and doesn't go, always hangs behind him, is it and his mind? ”

Jia Xu touched his beard and held his mouth, and said in his heart: "It's just to cooperate with the soldiers in Taiping City to flank our army." ”

"Why did the military advisor say this? A few days ago, the last general went to Taiping City to grab grain, and saw that the soldiers in this city were all gone, and Sun Quan ambushed in the east of the Qinhuai River, so there were soldiers to attack our army? ”

Jia Xu finally stopped and hurried, and said, "This time, that time." Now our army has run out of food, and its spirit has been lost. I have heard that Jiangdong Sun Yi has the courage to not reduce Sun Ce, and his nature is also anxious. must not endure humiliation like Sun Quan, and must be quiet and active. My original intention was to divert the first-line military forces of Shizigang defended by Sun Yi. ”

"Immediately change the route, go to Shizigang and get close to Shizigang, and cross the river from Shizigang to attack Jianye!"
