Cheng Pu carried several arrows on his back, completely ignoring it. Raise your sword and shield and fight bravely into the city. The defenders on the wall were shocked, and more than a dozen soldiers moved forward together, each raising their swords to besiege.

Cheng Pu rushed at those defenders, threw the shield in his left hand over, took advantage of the situation to advance, swung his knife and slashed, and immediately beheaded several people.

The rest of the soldiers were terrified and scattered. Yan Yu saw that the situation was not good, and hurried down the city to leave. Cheng Pu was looking at Yan Yu at the head of the city, and without hesitation, his legs kicked suddenly, and he jumped straight down from the city wall several meters high. is impartial, just kicking Yan Yu with one kick.

That Yan Yu received this kick, and immediately spat blood from his mouth. Cheng Pu raised his hand and stabbed Yan Yu to the ground. Turning around, he slashed all the way and killed the guards. Cut the lock and receive the army into the city.

As soon as Yan Yu died, Wu County's soldiers and horses were undispatched, and it became more and more chaotic. Sun Ce led his troops into the city, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and in less than an hour, the four cities were flat. More than 3,000 were beheaded and 20,000 enemies were captured.

When Wang Lang heard that Yan Yu had been killed, he was terrified. Knowing that he was not Sun Ce's opponent, he packed up the soft things overnight, took more than a thousand henchmen, quietly went out of the city, and went to Jingzhou to vote for Liu Biao.

Sun Ce went down to Wu County, first made Zu Mao lead an army as the front, and went out of Xindu to attack Huiji; He led an army of 50,000 and went south out of Wu County to join Zumao.

I didn't want Zu Maobing to arrive at Huiji, Wang Lang had already abandoned the city and fled. The defenders in the city could not find Wang Lang, and they were all frightened and fled. Zu Mao dispatched troops and horses on the spot, and set up pockets outside the four gates of Huiji to catch deserters alone. In one day, more than 5,000 people were captured.

Sun Ce arrived after leading the troops, listened to Zu Mao's description, and scolded Wang Lang's rats. Even if the prisoners surrendered, the defenders in the city rushed out of the city and bowed to the road. Sun Ce ordered the collection of prisoners of war, and more than 20,000 people were gathered.

Yan Yu and Wang Lang were all wiped out, and Linhai, Jian'an, Poyang, Luling and other counties were all outnumbered and scarce, and their conceit could not resist Sun Ce, so they all surrendered in anticipation.

Sun Ce occupied the eleven states in the south of the Yangtze River, stationed troops to accumulate millet, recruited talents, and his prestige was shocked.

Cao Cao knew all about this series of things. At this time, he suddenly heard that Sun Ce led his troops north, and he was very puzzled. Then he asked Xun Yudao: "Wen Ruo, in your opinion, Sun Ce'er, why are you here?" ”

Xun Yu groaned for a moment and said: "The subordinates are also puzzled, since Sun Ce has rebelled out of Xuzhou, he has turned against the Huwei army. If it is extrapolated by common sense, he should have taken advantage of the battle between the lord and the Huwei army to seize the city and expand the territory. But I just heard that Sun Ce has arrived in Huailing, and this route of march is contrary to common sense."

Cao Cao nodded, "Well, go on."

Xun Yu said again: "If Sun Ce wants to take the opportunity to seize the territory, then Huaisi and Guangling are adjacent to the Yangtze River, and they are across the river from Jianye. He may send troops to the east to capture Hefei and Shouchun; Or take the northeast and approach Huaiyin, all of which are in line with common sense. But now he is going to Huailing, and in the humble opinion of his subordinates, Sun Ce's intentions are probably very unkind."

Cao Cao took the case, "Wen Ruo's words are yes!" Sun Ce is a child, capricious! Although he rebelled out of Xuzhou, he was afraid of the power of the tiger army. I was afraid that after Gao Yun swept Hebei, he crossed the river and went south to cut it down. Therefore, at this time he led his troops north to make my enemy. is called rescuing Xuzhou, but in fact, it is showing favors! It's really damnable! Xu Chu'an is here!? ”

When Xu Chu heard that Cao Cao had ordered the general, he hurriedly got up and clasped his fists, "The last general!" ”

"Order you to lead 50,000 troops, go 50 miles south, take the key road and set up camp, in order to stop Sun Ce, and you must not let him pass by one person or one horse!"

"Order!" Xu Chu stepped forward to receive the arrow, turned around and left the tent, and led the troops away.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Guan Yu's soldiers are in Langya, and they are in the same place as Dian Wei, and their momentum is quite large, and I am afraid that Xiahoudun will be difficult to match." Ru Su led 20,000 soldiers and horses to help Xiahoudun intercept Guan Yu! ”

"Order!"

Le Jin received the arrow, turned over and said goodbye, lit up 20,000 elite soldiers, and drove overnight until the camp south of Langya to meet Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun, Xu Huang, Yu Ban and other generals were overjoyed to see Le Jin leading the troops to help, and Xiahou Tang said to Le Jin: "Wen Qian is here at this time, which can be described as a charcoal in the snow!" ”

Le Jin hurriedly thanked him and asked Xiahoudun: "How is the situation of Langya's army?" ”

Xiahoudun sighed, "Alas! This time the soldiers entered Langya, and a certain committee really had the trust of the lord. Guan Yu's army arrived in Kaiyang yesterday and joined forces with Dian Wei, which was quite powerful. Now if you want to capture Langya again, I am afraid that the momentum will be like ascending to the sky. Therefore, the lord issued an order, let me guard the fence, intercept Guan Yu, and not fight."

Le Jin nodded yes, and persuaded Xiahoudun again: "Xuzhou is empty, and the lord is surrounded by 300,000 soldiers and horses, and it will be broken soon." We just need to stick to the camp and stop Guan Yu. When the lord takes Xuzhou and goes north, Langya can be broken with a flick of his fingers, and Guan Yu Dian Wei can be captured alive! ”

Xiahoudun and the others all thought so and laughed.

But they seem to be underestimating Guan Yu too much. At this time, above the lobby of Langya, the main lamppost is bright. Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, Zhou Cang, Zhang Yu, and Hu Che'er all sat around the table.

Guan Yu listened carefully to Dian Wei's description of the military situation, groaned slightly, and said to the generals: "Although the city of Xuzhou is dangerous, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses. Although Xiao Ming's nephew is very wise, he may not be able to hold it for a long time. For today's plan, it is necessary to quickly break through Xiahoudun and rush to the aid of Xiapi. Otherwise, it may be necessary."

Dian Wei and the others all said yes, and asked about the plan to break the enemy.

Guan Yu asked Dian Wei: "The eldest brother learned that Cao Cao Kou had committed Xuzhou, and ordered me to rush here with light soldiers, so he never brought a stone cannon. I don't know if you ordered the stone cannon to be brought here? ”

Dian Wei nodded, "Zhuge joined the army and asked me to move from Xiaopei to Langya, and the military order was very urgent, so I didn't bring all of them." Now there are only ten crosses in Langya City. The rest of the stone cannons were smashed by the time I left Xiao Pei."

Guan Yu retracted his long hair, his eyes slightly closed, "Well, that's enough." There are stone cannons here, and it is easy to break Xiahoudun! ”

When the generals saw that Guan Yu was confident, they were all happy. Guan Yu ordered someone to open the picture book and said to Dian Wei: "Tomorrow, I will lead the army out of the city and fight with Xiahoudun." You led all the way to the army, and then you came out, five miles away from me, looking at each other from afar. If you see that I am in a hurry to engage the enemy, you will not move. If Xiahoudun sees that I have no reinforcements, he will definitely come out of the nest and fight with me. At that time, the enemy village will be empty, you will bypass the battlefield, sneak attack the enemy camp, burn its grain and grass, and Xiahoudun can be broken in one battle! ”

The generals listened to the plan and were full of praise. Guan Yu dispersed the tent on the spot, and the generals got up and resigned, and each went to prepare.

On the second day, 10,000 soldiers and horses were left to guard the city, and Guan Yu led an army of 50,000 to the south, going out of the city to the south, and went straight to the Xiahou Dun camp to fight against the enemy.

When Xiahoudun heard that Guan Yu was coming, he hurriedly dressed up and gathered all the generals until the camp gate. Seeing that the opponent only had Guan Yu and the generals under his command, and did not see Dian Wei, Xiahoudun felt wrong in his heart.

Discussed with Xu Huang and others: "Seeing that only Guan Yu ordered the soldiers and horses here, and there was no Dian Wei army, could it be that there was another ambush?" ”
