Lu Su explained Lei Xu's identity and his intentions to Mi Zhu and others in detail. It turned out that after Zhou Yu garrisoned Chibi, because the Jiangdong Army had limited combat power, he concentrated on building warships and establishing a water village. And the Cao army was also unable to continue southward because of the Battle of Xiakou, and the naval army was heavily damaged. As a result, there was a strange silence suddenly on the southern battlefield in full swing. The warring sides unanimously opted for a temporary truce.

Of course, everyone understands that this abnormal peace is nothing more than the calm before the storm. Cao Cao understands, and Zhou Yu understands better. In order to meet the possible big war at any time, Zhou Yu actively deployed defensive forces on the one hand and improved the Yangtze River defense system with Chibi as the core. On the other hand, he sent people to Chaisang to ask Wu Hou Sun Quan to continue to collect soldiers, horses, baggage, grain and grass to prepare for a long-term war of resistance.

But this is just a military deployment on the surface! In private, he was ready to use the hole card of Hefei Lei Xu in his hand to give Cao Jun a fatal blow from behind at a critical time. Think about it, if the two armies on the Yangtze River were in full swing, Cao Cao suddenly received an urgent report from the rear, Hefei was lost, and the rebels were approaching Xuchang. Damn, Zhou Yu can imagine Cao Cao's pig's liver-colored expression at that time.

It is because of this consideration that Lu Changshi, who was supposed to be stationed in Chibi with the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu, appeared in the Lei Xu Mansion in Hefei City and unexpectedly got together with Zhuge and his party.

"Hahaha, this is really a coincidence!" After Lu Su finished explaining, Sun Qian sighed with emotion, "In that case, my brother is Jiangdong's inner line?" Mi Zhu was still a little surprised.

Lei Xu nodded embarrassedly. explained with a smile: "At the beginning, I, Chen Lan, and Mei Cheng met Sun Qiyu and Zhou Dudu when they were young, and later they were also under Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway's subordinates, and they had a good relationship. When Sun and Zhou Dudu went south to conquer Jiangdong, they were afraid that Yuan Shu would assassinate him from behind. So leave the three of us as the inside line. After General Sun pacified Jiangdong, he wanted to go north to conquer Yuan Shu, who was rebellious and emperor, and occupy the land of Lianghuai. I didn't want Yuan Shu to be destroyed by Cao Cao first, and the north of the river belonged to Cao Cao. Our brother had no choice but to turn to Cao Cao, and secretly lurked and waited for the general to come north. It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Sun was killed by the villain, the situation in Jiangdong was turbulent, and he was even more powerless to go on the Northern Expedition. Our brothers have been waiting like this for more than ten years, until today. ”

"I didn't expect it to be like this! My brother is really a person who values love and righteousness! Mi Zhu listened to Lei Xu's narration and sighed.

"Then Uncle Lu came here this time to contact General Sun's old department, Uncle Lei and others, and prepare to secretly plan the incident?" Young Master Zhuge asked.

"Yes!" Lu Su smiled and nodded, "But I didn't expect to meet you here!" By the way, didn't the Governor give you a batch of armor and weapons last time? Isn't that enough? ”

"Hey, don't hide Lu Changshi! In the battle of Gangneung, our army suffered heavy losses, and almost lost all the ordnance, grain and grass. Zhou Dudu's generous gift is touching in the snow, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket. We also know that the materials in Jiangdong are not rich. In desperation, I had to find another way. Su Weng had a relationship with my lord in the past, and got a batch of supplies for us. I thought it would go smoothly. But I didn't expect to know that Hefei City was under martial law. Our supplies are blocked in the city. In desperation, we wanted to use the power of General Hefei to transport our materials out of Lu. As a result, when I came to Lei Mansion, I realized that General Hefei was an old man. What a coincidence is going on in this world! Mi Zhu also explained the cause and effect of this incident.

"Haha, it's okay! Anyway, we all have the same purpose! One thing is done, and two things are also done. Lu Changshi and Mi Xian are at ease. These things are all wrapped up in our old Lei. Lei Xu agreed very boldly.

Seeing that Lei Xu agreed, Mi Zhu and Young Master Zhuge breathed a sigh of relief. The heart said, Lao Tzu doesn't care if you can't get up! As long as our goods can be safely transported out of Hefei City!

Hefei Xicheng, Cao Hong's general's mansion.

"Smack!" A carved celadon bowl fell to the ground and shattered. Above the hall, Cao Hongyuan's eyes were wide open, his hair stood upside down, and his chest was bulging up and down because of anger, which seemed to be not light. "Ge Laozi! Which bastard ate the ambitious leopard? Dare to kill my beloved general. What did the turtle son do? ”

"Woo woo, general! You must avenge my general! My general died so miserably! It's miserable! Dozens of iron arrows were shot all over the body. It's terrible! The pawn cried as he lifted the white cloth that covered the corpse beside him. I saw dozens of iron arrows stuck in the corpse, and the blood stained the whole body red. The corpse's eyes opened in horror, and the fear of the moment before death could be clearly seen in the expression on the face of the deceased. The deceased was the leader of the bandits who intercepted Mi Zhu's convoy outside Hefei.

Cao Hong couldn't help but be furious when he saw that his love was dying so miserably. But when he saw the iron arrow inserted in the deceased's body, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help blurting out, exclaiming: "Zhuge crossbow!! ”

In fact, the Zhuge repeater has only appeared on the battlefield once since its inception, and that is the "Battle of Dangyang". At that time, Cao Hong had been ordered to lead the army to garrison Hefei, and it stands to reason that he should not know Zhuge Lianba.

However, this is where we have to admire Cao Cao. Although he has also experienced a lot of failures. However, he has a characteristic that he always sums up the experience of his failure after each failure. And summarize the experience of failure, organize it into a book and distribute it to his main generals. to avoid their own army from making the same mistake next time.

And the reason why Cao Hong knew Zhuge Repeater was also due to Cao Cao's error summary mechanism.

When Cao Hong recognized the special iron arrow of Zhuge Repeater's crossbow, he was really taken aback. Cao Hong, who had just been besieged by the Jiangdong army for more than ten days and was almost killed by a thunderbolt, really smelled of a frightened bird. If this iron arrow is really the iron arrow of Zhuge Lian's crossbow, then it means that Liu Bei's army, which should have been stationed in Xiakou, quietly appeared in the suburbs of Hefei. And what's even more terrifying is that Liu Bei's army has arrived near Hefei City. But our defenders didn't get any word of it. Isn't that terrible? If that's the case, it's hard to say that when he wakes up one day, Liu Bei will already be standing by his bedside.

The more Cao Hong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but sweat like rain, and his back was all wet.

"General? Checkmate? What's wrong with you? "The pawn at the bottom of the stairs doesn't know why. Why does the general seem to be frightened? He turned his head to look at the guy lying on the ground. Kindness! Death is quite scary! This guy thought that Cao Hong was frightened by the tragic appearance of the corpse.

He ...... How many of them are there? Cao Hong reluctantly settled down.

"Dozens! How many people can they have in a caravan! The pawn thought for a moment and said disdainfully.

"What?" Cao Hong stood up suddenly, walked a few steps to the pawn, and lifted the guy by the collar, "Caravan? What caravan? Isn't it Liu Bei's army? ”
