After Jia Xu and Shamoke led the army to retreat, they found a county seat on the border of Danyang County to occupy it, and recuperated by the way, and Sun Ce seemed to be busy appeasing the people, and did not attack, so only more than ten days later, Lu An led the army to this side, Jia Xu and the two hurriedly went out of the city to greet each other, and truthfully reported the previous military situation.

"You say that General Gan's army fell into the enemy's plan, and in order to let the army withdraw, he chose to break off alone?" In a temporary mansion in the county seat, Lu An listened to the battle situation reported by Shamoke and Jia Xu, who had returned from leading the army, and his face suddenly changed color, and he couldn't help but ask again.

"The lord, I was incompetent, I failed to see through the other party's plan in time, and I didn't stop General Gan, and I ask the lord to punish him!" Jia Xu arched his hand, and half-knelt down to plead guiltily. Shamoko on the side also learned and half-knelt down.

"Whew, get up first! I can't blame you for this, Wen He and you even have merit, if you hadn't cracked Zhou Yu's momentum, I'm afraid that very few of these 30,000 troops would be able to come back! Lu An was irritable for a while, but he still suppressed the depression in his heart and spoke. After listening to the detailed situation, Lu An knew that no one could be blamed for this matter, and he could only blame Gan Ning for being too rigid and self-serving, and did not listen to Jia Xu's advice, which led to such a fiasco, but it was easy to obtain a thousand troops, and it was difficult to find a general, especially a first-class commander like Gan Ning, who was brave and strategic, if he folded here, it would definitely be a big blow to Lu An.

"Don't say that, the lord can't see through the other party's plan at the first time, it's already a dereliction of duty!" Jia Xu said with some shame. Although it has a lot to do with Gan Ning's failure to listen to his advice, it is also true that he himself has not completely seen through the other party's calculations before, which is really a thing that makes him feel very humiliated.

"That Zhou Lang is a rare person, but he has never had a good reputation, Wen He and you are defenseless, so he will take advantage of the loophole, if both sides are in the open, there will be no such thing!" Seeing Jia Xu's self-blame, Lu An opened his mouth to comfort him, and then asked Jia Xu and Shamoke to go down to rest.

"Guo Jia, what do you think?" After the two retreated, only Lu An Diao Chan and Guo Jia were left in the entire hall, Lu An first tilted his head and thought about it, and then asked himself the most powerful ghost.

"What can you think? Brother Wen He has always been far-sighted, he is a first-class wise man in the world, as the lord said, the enemy is dark and I am clear, so he did not anticipate the movement of the opposite side and lost the opportunity, but this price is too heavy! Guo Jia sighed lightly.

"Damn, if Gan Ning is really dead, I will definitely take revenge and come back, and I will never stop until I kill Sun Ce's subordinates!" Lu An scolded hatefully. What he did in the past can be regarded as kind, but it is more emotional, not to mention that Gan Ning has been under him for two years, and has made great contributions, just the love of the monarch and ministers in the past two years, Lu An can definitely not ignore it, originally he thought very well before, if he took Jiangdong, see if he could take Sun Ce's gang over, but now he has no idea at all, he just thinks that he must give the other party a cruel lesson, otherwise he will be sorry for Gan Ning.

"The lord doesn't have to be like this, I don't know if General Gan is dead or alive? Maybe General Gan has already fought his way out of the siege and is looking for a place to heal his wounds! General Gan's armed lord is not unaware! Looking at Lu An, who had always had a soft face, showing anger that he had never felt before, Guo Jia knew that he was really angry about Gan Ning's life and death, and while feeling a little moved in his heart, he could only persuade him.

"I hope so, too, it's just too unlikely!" Lu An shook his head lightly, and put it on an ordinary general, it is really possible to kill it with Gan Ning's bravery, but he is facing Zhou Yu, who is the strongest group of people in the entire Three Kingdoms, and the battlefield is still in the water battle that Zhou Yu is best at, even if Lu Bu comes, it is almost impossible to escape under the siege of Zhou Yu's sailors, so he doesn't have any hope in this regard, although he doesn't want to admit it, but now Gan Ning is very likely to have been killed or captured, Of course, there is another situation that Gan Ning is still alive, but he has surrendered to the enemy army, and that situation is even more unacceptable to Lu An.

"Forget it, let's not mention this for the time being, now our vanguard army has been defeated, although the grain and grass have been lost, but fortunately, the casualties are not large, and the army together still has more than 50,000 people, and Sun Ce estimates that it is almost this number, it will be a real decisive battle soon, do you have any good strategy!" Forcibly filtering out the bad news in his mind, Lu An regained his composure and asked Guo Jia.

"The lord once said that Zhou Yu has no one in the world who can compete in the water war, and according to the information brought by Brother Wen He, it does prove that Zhou Yu is strong in the water army, if it is unwise to engage in water war with him again, we should avoid this, change the battlefield to land, and because we are the side of the expedition, this battle cannot be consumed with them for a long time, we must lead them to a decisive battle as soon as possible." Guo Jia thought about it and spoke.

"It's easy to avoid a water war, after all, this Danyang County has official roads in addition to waterways, but what can be done to lead them to a decisive battle?" Lu An nodded, and asked again. Sun Ce's army is still stationed near Qu'a, and the army can be reached by land, although it is a little farther than the waterway, but this is obviously very feasible, so the rest is a matter of leading the opposite side to a decisive battle.

"The best way is to take their grain and grass, so that they can't fight if they want to, but since Zhou Yu is a wise man, I believe that he will also take this into account, I am afraid that under normal circumstances, it is difficult for us to have a chance, and now we still have to see the move, first advance the army and then find an opportunity!" With Jia Xu's experience, Guo Jia also paid attention to the unmasked Zhou Yu thoroughly, and put the other party at the same level as himself, and because of the lack of information now, he had no good way to settle down for a while, so he had to be safe.

"It's okay, let the brothers rest for three days, and then set off for Danyang County in three days!" Lu An narrowed his eyes and said calmly. It's that he is a little anxious, before the match, he expects to have a good strategy to calm the other party, which is undoubtedly very unrealistic, especially if the opposite side is still a top combination, it is even more impossible, as Guo Jia said, now he should go to the city first, and fight against Sun Ce and Zhou Yu first, after all, fighters can only appear in the middle of the war.
