Chapter 839: Xuzhou Confrontation

After staying in Jianye for a while, the boat set off for Shouchun. Jiang Wan finally came to Shouchun after another tiring boat.

When the Huainan area was ruled by Cao Cao, it had already recovered some prosperity.

Now that Kou Feng occupies this place, a large number of Shanyue people, and the people of Jiangdong have been migrated here. Then there are three generals, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and Tai Shici, who are guarded, and that sense of security.

It also attracted the return of some of the powerful warriors who escaped from Huainan and entered Jiangdong.

Today's Huainan is relatively prosperous. As the heart of Huainan, that is, Shouchun, which was guarded by Huang Zhong's 30,000 troops, was even more busy and prosperous.

However, at this moment, Shouchun is very murderous. Because Tai Shici, the former general who was originally sitting in Hefei, led an army of 20,000 to Shouchun to fight Huang Zhong.

The movement of the army, the smell of it. Even the common people felt a monstrous killing opportunity that a great war was imminent.

Therefore, the people were in a hurry.

Jiang Wan was in this atmosphere and came to the Chu army camp by car.

If you want to say that what you feel outside is an overflowing aura of slaughter, then inside the Chu army camp, it is a monstrous murderous machine. A pair of soldiers, a sword, slashed in front of him.

After coming to the camp, Jiang Wan revealed his identity and was immediately welcomed in by the soldiers. came directly to the vicinity of the tent, and Huang Zhong, the general of Chu State, the second member of Tai Shici, also greeted him.

"I've seen Situ." Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci raised his fists.

"Two generals." Jiang Wan also raised his fist and said to Huang Zhong and the others.

After seeing it, Jiang Wan asked, "How is the situation in Xuzhou now?" ”

"At present, there are 100,000 troops in Xuzhou, 30,000 troops in Xiacai, and 40,000 troops led by Xiahoudun in Sicheng. And Xun You personally led an army of 40,000 to sit in Pengcheng. Huang Zhong said without thinking.

"Oh, isn't there anyone sitting in Guangling?" Jiang Wan said a little strangely when he heard this, Xuzhou only had 100,000 troops, but they were all sitting in the north, which seemed to be to prevent them from attacking and sabotaging. But the strange thing is that Guangling in the east is not guarded by a large army.

Xuzhou and Yangzhou are separated by only one river, Yingshui. However, the river is crooked, so there is still a large area of land to the east. That is, Guangling County belongs to Xuzhou.

And the defensive forces prepared by Kou Feng are in addition to Huang Zhong and Tai Shici. also sent Gan Ning to sail the rivers and lakes, but he was afraid that Huang Zhongtai Shici's army would not be enough, so he blocked it with a water army.

And now that there is no one guarding Guangling, Jiang Wan has to be shocked.

"The day before yesterday, Cheng Yu and Le Jin of Yanzhou came with an army of 50,000 and camped in Guangling." Tai Shi Ci next to him said very solemnly.

"An army of 150,000?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but be stunned, although the Chu army was strong in combat and enough to defeat Zhang Lu's army with 50,000 elite soldiers, but it was the Wei army in front of him.

Although it is only a partial teacher, there are fierce generals such as Xiahoudun, Lejin, and Zangba. With Xun Yu and a wise man like Cheng Yu in charge, it is really not comparable to a small person like Zhang Lu.

"Sure enough, our actions still can't be hidden from Cao Cao's ears and eyes." Immediately, Jiang Wan said.

"Lord Situ, is it now that the troops are entering Xuzhou, or are they mobilizing generals Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and other generals in Jiangdong to attack Xuzhou?" Huang Zhong asked.

He is just supervising the Huainan military, and unlike Lu Xun, he does not directly go up and down. But to fight with an army of 150,000, Huang Zhong has no confidence.

If Lu Xun and the others' soldiers were transferred, Huang Zhong would have the confidence to overturn Xuzhou.

"No, our purpose is not to engage the Wei army. It's just a matter of plundering some of the population to replenish itself. By the way, drive away Cao Cao in Wancheng. If it was a battle, it would have suffered heavy losses, and it would have been a reluctant victory. Xuzhou Pingchuan, how to face the revenge of the angry Cao Cao? If Cao Cao was furious, he marched into Huainan. It must be a shaking of the rivers and mountains, and the rear is unstable, which will affect the battle of the monarch in front. Jiang Wan shook his head and rejected the offer.

"Then what should I do, I can't give up my plan." Huang Zhong said a little unhappily.

"Of course, the plan will not change, but it has already turned a corner. Our side is a deputy army, just do harassment. In fact, it's very good, Cheng Yu from Yanzhou, Lejin was actually attracted to Xuzhou. Jiang Wan said with a mysterious smile on his face.

Speaking of which, I really have to thank Lu Xun for his reminder, otherwise they would definitely not be able to get benefits. But now that Lu Xun's army has set off for Jizhou, plundering the population is a matter of nailing to the iron plate.

Even Lejin, Xiahoudun, Xun You, Cheng Yu, etc., Xuzhou's garrison is the same. Moreover, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others transferred Yanzhou's troops to Xuzhou.

Then Jizhou is empty and there are no soldiers in nearby Yanzhou, which is a very favorable signal for Lu Xun's military plan.

"Vice-Army?" Huang Zhong and Tai Shici were a little puzzled. Attacking Xuzhou, what other army can there be besides their combat power? Still stronger than their army?

Lu Xun went to Jizhou by sea. Hit Yecheng directly. Jiang Wan said with a smile.

"By sea?" Huang Zhong, Tai Shici's eyes widened and said incredulously.

"Isn't there any danger in going deep alone?" Immediately, Huang Zhong couldn't help but say.

"Lu Xun and Lu Meng are all talents, they are alone, I am more assured. Even if you are defeated, you can return safely. Jiang Wan heard the words and showed Lu Xun's resolute and resolute face, and said with a smile.

Seeing that Jiang Wan trusted Lu Xun so much, Huang Zhong couldn't say anything more. However, Huang Zhong was a little discouraged and a little unwilling to say that they suddenly changed from the main attack to the secondary attack, and even stopped in Xuzhou to confront Xiahoudun: "Then we will not move?" ”

"No, let's march into Cai, so that Xiahoudun and them feel nervous and nervous. It's eye-catching. Jiang Wan shook his head and said.

"No." Huang Zhong and Tai Shi Ci glanced at each other and saw the battle intent in each other's eyes, and promised loudly.

Immediately, under Jiang Wan's personal supervision, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, the most skilled generals in Chu State, combined 50,000 troops to march to Cai.

……………….

Si Cheng. This is a big city, and there is no danger in Xuzhou to protect, so a big city can be defended if it is improvised.

Xiahoudun led an army of 40,000 to camp here.

At this moment, Xiahoudun is leading some cronies and generals to inspect the city defense, and one of them is a junior valued by Xiahoudun, that is, Cao Xiu.

After Cao Cao sent Cao Xiu to Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun cared for Cao Xiu and often took him with him. However, Cao Xiu's ability is really good, and he has won the trust of many generals.

At present, he is a brilliant young general who rose after Cao Jun.

"General, are we making too much of a fuss. The 150,000 army is entrenched in Xuzhou, and the soldiers and horses under his Yangzhou department are only 50,000, do they really dare to come? At this time, a military general said disapplaudively to Xiahoudun.

The reason why Xiahoudun sat in Xuzhou was not to attack, but to defend was because the area around Shouchun was mountainous, watery, and difficult to attack. Huang Zhong and they were able to rely on 50,000 soldiers and horses to defend the town.

But the terrain of Xuzhou is open, if Huang Zhong and the others dare to come, the Wei army will not be afraid.

Hearing this, Xiahoudun glanced at the general coldly, and suddenly the general didn't dare to speak. Although Xiahoudun was mostly in the rear, his prestige in the army was still unmatched.

"What do you think?" After Xiahou saw that this reckless general was no longer silent, he turned his gaze to Cao Xiu and asked in harmony.

In fact, Xiahou also felt that Huang Zhong and they would not come, maybe they were mainly bluffing, and they wanted to make these actions to increase the pressure on Cao Cao in Wancheng.

However, speculation is speculation, and seriousness is serious.

"Probably coming." Cao Xiu pondered for a moment and said.

"Oh? How so? Xiahoudun was quite surprised when he heard this, and asked.

"The Chu army will take revenge, and it has never been purely defensive." Cao Xiu's eyes were full of wisdom and said.

"Can you still analyze this aspect?"

Including Xiahoudun, all the generals of the Wei army couldn't help but be in a daze. But there's no denying that it's really like that. Looking at some of the wars of Kou Feng, they are generally offensive. Even when there is a defense, it is very short-lived, and then there is a counterattack.

Even if Kou Feng's strength was not good at the beginning, he was in Jiangxia, but he was brazenly attacked by Zhou Yu. He also defended first, and then brazenly counterattacked and captured Jiang's four cities.

Since then, he has embarked on the road of constant domination of the world.

And some of the elites gathered in the Chu State also seem to have been affected by Kou Feng, and rarely did anything purely defensive. Now Wancheng Xu Shu is guarding the city.

It seems that Huang Zhong and Tai Shici are destined to go out of Yangzhou and provoke the big beam to attack.

Xiahou finally paid attention to this matter, and at the same time, his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Cao Xiu. This junior is really unexpected, and he can think of things that no one can think of.

At this moment, someone chased after him from the rear and reported: "General, the spies have sent news, Huang Zhong and Tai Shi Ci raised an army of 50,000 and marched towards Xia Cai. ”

Xiahoudun's eyes froze, and he ordered: "Send more spies, and report every half a day." ”

"No." The man said yes, and immediately went down to do his work.

"It's really guessed. This Chu country is really not a sheep. Xiahoudun glanced at Cao Xiu appreciatively, and then sighed.

An army of 50,000 dares to fight against an army of 100,000, and he is considered a kind of Huang Zhong.

"Leave 10,000 people to defend Sicheng, send 30,000 troops, and we'll meet Huang Zhong for a while." Immediately, Xiahoudun turned his body and ordered loudly.

"No." The generals responded with a bang.

Immediately, Xiahoudun stood at the head of Sicheng, facing the south and looking in the direction of Shouchun, very confident. If you want to fight, I will fight, the 150,000 army is entrenched in Xuzhou, do you want to take advantage of our Wei State?

Xiahou didn't believe it, he didn't believe it at all.

The army of 100,000 is arranged like an iron wall. It's hard to fly with wings
