Jia Xu and Zhuge Mengxue divided their troops in Taishan County, and Jia Xu led a large army to continue eastward, and soon entered Qingzhou, where he joined Cao Zhi to discuss the attack on Beihai County; And Zhuge Mengxue led another army from Taishan County to the south, to Luguo County, when the army was still on the road, the south of Luguo County and Rencheng County have surrendered one after another, Zhuge Mengxue led the army through Luguo County and Rencheng County, until arriving at Fei County, the front of the army pointed directly at Donghai County and Xiapi County, has outflanked Xuzhou from behind.

Cao Pi did not stay long in Beihai County, and 60,000 soldiers and horses left Beihai in a hurry with the supplies they could carry, passed through Changyi County, and retreated to Donglai County. Jia Xu did not continue to exterminate Cao Pi, but went to capture or receive the counties with most of his soldiers and horses, and he himself led 100,000 soldiers and horses directly to the outer village of Donglai County.

Cao Pi saw that Jia Xu only led an army of 100,000 to come, so he poured out of the nest and led 70,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to challenge.

The two armies faced each other, the war drums sounded in unison, and Xu Chu, the general under Cao Pi, came out to shout and challenge.

Jia Xu didn't pay attention to it at all, and ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses to march together! At the front are layers of strong shield spears, with 10,000 hussars on each side ready to attack, and the crossbowmen of the Chinese army are surrounded by catapults and other heavy weapons like moving jungles, and Jia Xu and the generals are in the middle of the army, where the banners are most prosperous.

Seeing this, Xu Chu hurriedly reined in his horse and rushed back to Dao Cao Pi's side, and said urgently: "Lord, attack!" ”

Cao Pi shook his head, "No! The enemy is so strong that a rash assault can only lose soldiers in vain, and the enemy army is more numerous than us! Chong Xu Chu ordered: "Pass the order, retreat into the city immediately!" Xu Chu sighed unwillingly, and went down to give the order.

The 70,000 Cao army did not dare to engage in the battle, and retreated into the city in a hurry.

Jia Xu did not take the opportunity to attack the city, and ordered the army to retreat into the camp. Jia Xu was not in a hurry to capture Donglai County.

In the big tent, Jia Xu assigned tasks to his generals, but he just asked them to guard strictly, but he didn't want them to fight. At this moment, an officer on patrol rushed into the big tent in high spirits, knelt down and said, "Military advisor, we have ambushed the path in the woods on the west side and captured a spy of the Cao army!" ”

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said to the officer: "Good job! Bring people in! ”

The officer immediately stood up and shouted outside, "Bring it up!" ”

Immediately, two military advisors came in with a man dressed in a scribe's robe, and the man shouted angrily: "I am a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, you can't do this to me!" ”

Jia Xu glanced at him, showing a look of surprise, and exclaimed, "Xun Yu? ”

Xun You raised his head and saw a slender man in a scribe's robe, with a goat's beard on his chin, sitting on the head of the big tent, recognizing it as Jia Xu, snorted and tilted his head to the side.

The two soldiers behind him exerted themselves together, how could he, a literati, stand it, and immediately knelt on the ground, wanting to struggle, but how could he do it? He simply raised his head, glared at Jia Xu and shouted, "Jia Xu, you poisonous man, kill me!" ”

Jia Xu sneered: "Do you want to die for all righteousness? But what qualifications does a person who does not speak of morality have to die with full righteousness? ”

Xun You shouted: "If you want to kill, you will kill, don't pour sewage on me!" ”

Jia Xu smiled, "Do you still need me to pour sewage on you?" You've turned yourself into the ugliest clown! Then he suddenly shouted: "Xun You, don't sue me, you really don't know anything about the cause of Cao Cao's death!" Xun You was smart, and his eyes showed a look of panic. Cao Zhi, who was standing on the side and couldn't hold it for a long time, stepped forward and grabbed Xun You's shirt and lifted him up, scolding: "My father took you like a confidant and a brother, why are you indifferent to his death?!" What a wolf-hearted, dog-lunged, ungrateful! Xun You didn't dare to look at Cao Zhi.

Jia Xu stood up and walked in front of Xun You, Cao Zhi pushed Xun You away, and Xun You stumbled and almost fell.

Jia Xu said: "Mr. Xun You is not a mediocre person, and often comes to the control area of my father-in-law, and must have seen how our people live and work in peace and contentment, only my father-in-law can let the people of the world live a happy life, so for the livelihood of the world, Mr. should abandon prejudice, abandon darkness and turn to light; Cao Mengdecheng has a great kindness to Mr., and he treats Mr. as a confidant, for this, shouldn't Mr. repay him; For private purposes, if the general trend has been set today, sooner or later my lord will rule the world, if my husband does not take refuge in my lord as soon as possible, what will happen in the future? In the next heartfelt remarks, please consider carefully, don't make mistakes! ”

Xun You lowered his head and frowned and was silent for a moment, then sighed dejectedly, "You're right. ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and immediately ordered someone to untie the rope for Xun You. Xun You hugged his fist at Jia Xu and said, "Since you have taken refuge in the general, you should give a gift." You may not know yet, Sima Yi and the Lord, well, Cao Pi made a plan to defend the north and attack the south before the war......" When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly asked: "What is the north and the south?" ”

Xun You said: "You must not know that the army awarded to Xuzhou today is actually only 100,000 elites led by my uncle......

What kind of person is Jia Xu, as soon as he heard Xun You's words, his face immediately changed, and he exclaimed: "Good strategy!" Presumably, Cao's sailors and the more than 200,000 army troops all marched along the coast to the south of the Yangtze River! ”

Xun You nodded, "That's right, Cao Ren is the governor, Zhang Jaw is the deputy governor, Li Dian, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are the generals, the army goes straight into Jiangnan from the sea, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, if you don't hurry back to help, the land of Jiangnan is only afraid!" ……”

Jia Xu frowned, and said fiercely: "In this case, I can only do my best to capture Donglai and capture Cao Pi!" Then he returned to the back of the bookcase, wrote a letter quickly, sealed it, and called the herald, who ordered him to deliver the letter to the lord at once, and the herald took the order. Jia Xu immediately ordered to immediately transfer all the soldiers and horses scattered to the receiving counties and prepare to storm Donglai! ”

At about the same time, the southward army led by Cao Ren suddenly appeared on the surface of the Yangtze River estuary. Immediately, the army landed on the shore and stormed Wu County, which had only a few thousand soldiers and horses, could not resist it at all, and fell in an instant! Hurry up and gallop into Jianye.

At this time, Zhuge Ruoxue was in Jianye City, because Jianye was close to the mouth of the Huaishui River, so Zhuge Ruoxue urged officials to transfer materials to Huaishui to support the northern war, and the defenders in Jianye City had 20,000 people.

Zhuge Ruoxue was taken aback when she received a report of the loss of Wu County in Jianye City.
