Panyang City.

A soldier quickly ran to the castle tower with a bamboo slip in his hand, sweating profusely but with an excited look on his face. Looking up ahead, I saw a group of generals in armor, and hurriedly shouted at the top of their voices.

"Lujiang Victory"

"Lu Taishou poured 3,000 soldiers and horses to raid Chengde, and now Chengde has fallen into the hands of Lujiang, and the connection between Shouchun and Hefei was cut off by Lujiang soldiers and horses."

The voices sounded in everyone's ears, and they all showed excited looks.

Deng Dang was stunned for a moment, then happy, but then frowned. The importance of Chengde to Jiujiang County is self-evident, and it is too easy for Lujiang to succeed. Yuan Shu's rapid rise to Yangzhou after the defeat has already shown that this person is not an ordinary person. Wouldn't he be wary of Lu Kang? Or is it a big game of chess, and Chengde is actually just a bait?

Just like this Panyang City under your feet, just a delicious bait? In fact, a hard bow has long been pointed here.

Everyone saw Deng Dang's solemn face, so they put away their smiles one by one, and gradually looked puzzled.

"Why does the general appear sad?"

"Is there something wrong with Chengde?"

A series of inquiries sounded in his ears like a tide, and Deng Dang neither nodded nor shook his head, but frowned a little tighter.

Turn around and continue to look out of the city, looking ahead.

"No matter who it is, they will have heavy troops under Chengdebu, but Yuan Shu is unusual, leaving only a few troops. Was this his negligence or intentional? ”

"After capturing Chengde, the soldiers and horses stationed in Chaohu can form a flanking attack on the Marquis of Hefei together with Chengde, can Yuan Shuyan not know?"

"The 5,000 soldiers of the Sun clan are surrounded by more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the road will be cut off from food, and the army's morale will be weakened only in that night."

"But if you think about it the other way around, why isn't the Lu Taishou Department in the middle of the attack of the Marquis of Hefei and Shouchun?"

"Will the soldiers and horses stationed in Chaohu destroy Sun Ce's troops first, or will Hefei Houguo and Shouchun join forces to recapture Chengde? If the general's expectations are good, Lu Taishou is only afraid that he will lose a lot."

Deng Dang looked ahead and said worriedly to the generals.

The generals pondered these words, and they couldn't help but fall silent.

One said unconvinced.

"Even if the soldiers and horses of Lujiang can't be stopped in Chengde, there is a retreat from the Houguo of Liu'an, and they can retreat calmly."

"With Lu Taishou's ability, he can retreat, but his main force will inevitably be lost. And once they retreat, the soldiers and horses of Shouchun will be able to follow, and they will be able to come to the city of Lujiang County in an instant."

Deng Dang said slowly to everyone.

Holding his hands on the wooden railing, he kept weighing the situation in Yangzhou.

"It seems that Lujiang is in danger"

"Even if the soldiers and horses of Lujiang fell for Yuan Zhoumu's plan, Lu Taishou is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time after all, and he must rely on it all this time to suddenly take Chengde. Moreover, there are 7,000 people under Liu Junshi's department gathered in Chaohu, Mixukou and Anhui County, which can completely rush to the aid of the county government. Is the general's concern a little too much? Besides, although the soldiers of Lujiang are only 3,000, they are all elite, and they are not so easy to swallow."

"If after the capture of Chengde, Yuan Shu divided his troops into 2,000 troops to aid the Hou State of Hefei, will Sun Ce's department be stationed in Liu Junshi's department?"

The voice sounded in his ears, and the generals fell into deep thought at the same time.

One of his lips moved, but in the end he didn't speak. The general did not say that if Yuan Shu increased his troops to Hefei Houguo after capturing Chengde, then the soldiers and horses stationed in Chaohu, Changhe Town and other places would not dare to act rashly.

Didn't hear a reply, Deng Dang sighed.

"No matter how the situation in Jiangbei changes, no matter whether Lujiang County can hold on or not. As long as Changhe Town, Chaohu, Weixukou and Anhui County are not lost, then we will not face the threat to Jiujiang County."

"If the expectation is good, Yuan Shu will definitely order Ji Ling's troops to storm Yuzhang at this time, and the troops will come to Yuzhang County Mansion to share the pressure of the Hefei Marquis."

"Therefore, all of you are good at repairing and waiting for the big war"

"No"

The generals replied loudly to Deng Dang.

The general's inference is reasonable, once it is determined that Chengde is a bait, then Yuan Shu will definitely take this opportunity to regain Chengde, and at the same time, why can't Sun Ce's troops fall into a bitter battle? The soldiers and horses of Anhui County and Weixukou have been assembled and are galloping through the Yangtze River and Chaohu Lake to aid Changhe Town. When the troops rushed to the predetermined location, it was reasonable to launch a fierce attack on the Marquis of Hefei.

Although he was in Panyang City, it could be expected that it would be a large-scale battle.

On the one hand, the Marquis of Hefei had to divide his troops and Shouchun's main force to flank the Lujiang soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, he had to face the attack of 7,000 Yuzhang soldiers and horses, and the pressure he was under was unimaginable.

Then Yuan Shu urged Ji Ling to attack Yuzhang County and open up a second battlefield, which was the most advantageous choice. At that time, the soldiers who were in Jiangbei would inevitably be worried when they heard about it, and their morale would naturally be low or even collapse.

It's just that they never dreamed that those so-called main forces were actually just the old Gepo Yellow Turban in the mountains.

This Yuan Zhoumu's wishful thinking, I'm afraid that he was wrong from the beginning.

"Newspaper"

"Traces of Ji Ling's department were found hundreds of miles away"

A soldier quickly walked up to the castle tower and shouted to Deng Dang.

When everyone heard the news, they dispersed the distracting thoughts in their hearts almost at the same time, and a trace of war intent quietly spread.

"Well, Ben will wait here for a long time"

"General"

"The Last General Asks for War"

"The Last General Asks for War"

A series of voices rang in his ears, and the generals puffed up their chests almost at the same time and said loudly to Deng Dang.

On the way to Panyang Lake, if the Lord does not fight bravely to kill the enemy at this time, how long will he wait?

"Our army is small and cannot take the initiative to attack, just wait to hold on to the city"

"This?"

The generals glanced at each other with a little reluctance.

Is there really a small number of troops? General Gan Ning has already led 5,000 soldiers and horses to come to the aid and ambushed in Panyang Lake. With 10,000 against 10,000, coupled with local combat, it can be said that it has an advantage. It's just that the general has already given a military order, and he can only let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Cheng Yu"

"In"

"You led 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Panyang City, and the general personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses to hide their whereabouts outside the city."

"No"

One of the generals shouted at Deng Dang.

Deng Dang explained to the man.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Ji Ling's department galloped here, although it is understandable that their whereabouts have been discovered, but our army gathering 5,000 people here will definitely make them suspicious. Therefore, he will lead 3,000 people to leave to help him dispel his doubts."

"Let's get started"

"No"

The generals shouted loudly at the same time.

Then, under the leadership of Deng Dang, he walked to the city tower.

Cheng Yu, who was standing in the city tower, gradually fell into contemplation, the lord was about to arrive at Panyang Lake, and General Gan Ning's headquarters were stationed. This Panyang City seems to be crumbling, but in fact, it is solid.

This is a bait, a bait that makes Ji Ling's department bleed profusely.
