In Qu'a City, Danyang County, Sun Ce learned that Lu An's army had come to Danyang, so he hurriedly summoned Zhou Yu over to discuss.

"Gong Jin, this time Lu Xuantong has already gathered the soldiers and horses that Gan Ning defeated and retreated before, and the combined army of more than 50,000 people will arrive at the city of Qu'a in a few days, do you have any good ways to gain some advantages for our army before the war?" As soon as Zhou Yu entered the hall, Sun Ce couldn't wait to ask.

"I've tried to think of a lot of ways before, but after thinking about it, unless they take the waterway, let's not act rashly for the time being!" Zhou Yu shook his head and spoke.

"Why, isn't there even a countermeasure for Gongjin this time?" Sun Ce said with some disappointment.

"It's not that it's nothing, it's useless!" Zhou Yu said lightly.

"What do you mean?" Sun Ce was puzzled.

"If the offender is someone else, I will naturally think of a plan to break the enemy first, but our opponent this time is not trivial, Lu Xuantong himself is a first-class general who is famous in the world, not to mention, his chief military advisor Guo Fengxiao is definitely a powerful person, before that Jia Wenhe can crack my wind has shown that his talent is not inferior to me, such wise men are actually ranked below this Guo Fengxiao, you must know that Lu Xuantong has always been a meritocracy, and I have specially watched Lu Xuantong fight several battles, found that there is the shadow of this Guo Fengxiao in it, it can be seen that this person is definitely a top character, in the face of such a wise man, I am afraid that the ordinary tricks have no effect at all, and it will expose some of our flaws, it is better not to use it! Zhou Yu explained. In the face of such a powerful opponent as Lu An, even if he is as arrogant as Zhou Yu, he has been checking the information about Lu Xuantong's debut since his debut in the past few days, in order to find some weaknesses from it, but in the end, he reluctantly found that in the other party's previous wars, he has never exposed anything that can be used, but it is not all without gains, at least he has a little more understanding of Lu An and his core civil and military affairs.

"So we can only wait for Lu Xuantong to attack the city, and finally fight with him?" Sun Ce was a little unwilling.

"I can't say that, before the battle, it is almost impossible to expect a famous general like Lu Xuantong to show flaws, but it may not be the case in the battle, many times the fighter plane will often appear in the battle, and when the time comes, we can act on the opportunity, and take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Lu Xuantong is cautious and does not have any flaws, then we can also defend the city, he can't consume us." Zhou Yu smiled lightly.

"Gong Jin, what do you mean is that let's wait for Lu An to attack the city, and then see if there is a chance to take advantage of it, if not, we will defend the city, right!" Sun Ce frowned and asked.

"Hmmm! Lu Xuantong came from afar, although he pacified several counties in Yangzhou, but the families in those counties have long hated him, which Lu Xuantong himself knows, so he sent a lot of soldiers in each county to suppress it there, but this is not a long-term strategy, if he can't capture us for a long time to make the entire Jiangdong together, I'm afraid he will have to retreat back to stabilize the situation, not to mention that although Ganning's 30,000 army went back to more than half of it, but the grain and grass were lost, and now Lu Xuantong's grain and grass can't support him to fight a protracted war! Zhou Yu nodded.

"What Gong Jin said is very reasonable, I will do it according to this plan!" Although Sun Ce agreed with what Zhou Yu said, he suddenly said: "But before that, I want to fight with him first!" ”

"Bo Fu?" Zhou Yu frowned, and was about to speak.

"Lu Xuantong and I are the same age, but he became famous in the Tiger Prison Pass back then, which amazed the world, and even his father praised him, so I swore back then, I must aim for him in this life until I surpass him, he has become a hero in Jingnan over the years, and I have achieved nothing, and now I finally have the opportunity to duel with him, if I don't face him head-on, I am unwilling!" Sun Ce interrupted Zhou Yu's words and said to himself.

"I see, Bo Fu, do what you want!" Seeing the fighting spirit that almost burst out of Sun Ce's eyes, Zhou Yu seemed to feel the tenacity and long-cherished wish of his best friend, so he no longer persuaded at the moment, but patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said in support.

"Or Gong Jin knows me, let me be willful this time, Gong Jin is the main general, I am the deputy general, if I really can't fight Lu Xuantong in the front, then I have no regrets, just follow the method Gong Jin said to defend the city, consume Lu Xuantong or wait for him to show his flaws!" Seeing that Zhou Yu did not object, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and also chuckled.

"Bo Fu, you are the lord, how can you be a deputy general!" Zhou Yu said with a frown.

"Hahahaha, do you and my brother still care about this? Gong Jin, your ability to command the army is rare in the world, the previous battle with two bowls of water division directly defeated Lu Xuantong's first general Gan Ning's 30,000 army, although I think the commander is not bad, but compared to you is still a big difference, now the enemy is in front, when we try to improve our combat effectiveness! Sun Ce laughed.

"Bo Fu must not say this again, I have exhausted all my organs, but in the end I couldn't leave Lu Xuantong's 30,000 army not to mention, even Gan Ning let him escape, I am really ashamed!" Zhou Yu smiled bitterly. It was ironic for him that he thought he was perfect in all aspects of his plan, but in the end he failed to achieve satisfactory results.

"Gong Jin doesn't have to mind, although Gan Ning escaped, I am afraid that he is already seriously injured at this time, but it will definitely not be good for some time, and we have captured all his heavy weapons, which is already a rare victory." Sun Ce persuaded in turn. His best friend is good at everything, but he is a little too much in pursuit of perfection, and the battle that could have been regarded as a brilliant victory a few days ago, Zhou Yu himself was a little angry, and felt that in order to do his best, it made Sun Ce a little crying and laughing.

Lu An and Gan Ning's defeated more than 20,000 troops converged, rested for three days and then re-marched, he according to Guo Jia's opinion, did not choose the fast waterway, but from the land steady and steady, slowly marched, after more than ten days of marching, Qu'a City was already in front of him, and at this time Lu An was not in a hurry to attack, but in the same place to set up camp to resume a day, before starting to march again, after less than an hour, finally came to Qu'a City.

"Lu Xuantong, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Unexpectedly, Qu Acheng did not close the city gate, but pulled the army out of the city gate and waited, the leader of this army was a very handsome young man, after seeing Lu An himself appear, the young man immediately had an unconcealable excitement and excitement in his heart, and then calmed down and said coldly on purpose.
