Jingzhou, on the official road to Jiangxia.

The two horses galloped side by side, and the people on the horses were none other than the general Lin Shuangyue and her adjutant Zhen Huixian, and behind the two horses were accompanied by two pack horses for carrying bags.

Frost Moon's mind once again recalled the scene of last night. That person's back was too much like the great enemy he was looking for, but in the night, he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Frost Moon was very short of time to go out on a mission this time, and she didn't want to cause more trouble, but she happened to encounter a convoy blocking the road on the road, and the leading knight spoke disrespectfully to Frost Moon. Where had Frost Moon been insulted like this, and in a fit of rage, she slaughtered all the men in the entire convoy. When the killing was rising, he was shocked to find a person hiding on the side of the road, so he chased and killed without stopping.

Shuangyue had no grudge against that person, but because he was red-eyed, he couldn't hide the killing intent in his heart, so he acted rashly.

But that man was also righteous, and he didn't forget to save people while fleeing. Frost Moon heard the girl's exclamation, and felt pity, so she didn't kill her.

Of course, if that person is the great enemy he is looking for, he will not let him live no matter what. However, the sea of people is vast, and with just one back, Frost Moon does not dare to conclude that the person last night is the enemy she is looking for.

At this time, there is no time to delve into this matter, and now that the war is urgent, I must not be blinded by hatred. Anyway, his subordinates are all over the world, and it is only a matter of time before he finds that person.

Liu Sicheng! You wait for me! No matter how deep you hide, I, Lin Shuangyue, will definitely dig you out, and then unload eight pieces and eat them alive, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!

A hint of coldness flashed in Frost Moon's eyes, and she looked up to the sky and roared angrily, venting the resentment in her heart.

※※※※※※※※※

We shifted our attention to Shaxian County, Jiangxia County, Jingzhou.

Shaxian County is the seat of Jiangxia County, where the Han River and the Yangtze River meet, and Wuhan, which is known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces" in later generations, is located here. There is a turtle mountain on the south bank of the Han River, there is a strong military fortress built on the turtle mountain, the name is "the moon city", also called the "glaive base", at this time Huang Zu, who is the Jiangxia Taishou, is living in this city.

With the assistance of the Yunxiao Heavenly Kingdom, Sun Quan personally led the army all the way to the ground, and it only took half a month to hit the city of Qiyue and surround it.

On the battlefield, although Sun Quan did not have the bravery and courage of his brother Sun Ce, he was cautious in handling problems, not greedy for merit, and had the demeanor of a general. As an entrepreneurial monarch who expands the territory, Sun Quan may not be good, but as a monarch who keeps his success, Sun Quan is more than enough.

Frost Moon came to this conclusion through a period of observation.

On this day, Sun Quan urgently summoned Shuangyue to see him.

Hearing the call, Shuangyue did not hesitate at all, and strode straight to the Chinese army's tent.

Sun Quan's Chinese army tent is very particular, and the felt is three layers of thick wool felt, which is windproof and warm; The frame wood is made of good red sandalwood, so that there is often a fragrance in the tent; A birch floor is also laid at the bottom of the tent to completely isolate the cold and damp ground in the southern winter, and the residents feel very comfortable to sit on it.

Surrounded by a group of tiger warriors under the cart, each armed with a halberd, watched vigilantly and vigilantly.

In the big tent, Sun Quan was not wearing armor, but wearing a red Zen robe and a martial arts, sitting alone in front of several cases, frowning, as if thinking about things.

After Frost Moon entered the account, he bowed to Sun Quan and said:

"Wu Hou summoned the contemptible people, I don't know what happened?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan raised his head and raised his hand to signal:

"General Juan is exempt!"

The attendant in the tent immediately brought a bed to Frost Moon, so that Frost Moon, who was dressed in military uniform and was inconvenient to kneel and sit, could sit down.

It wasn't until Frost Moon sat down that Sun Quan continued:

"Gu just received a report from the rear, and an army under the banner of Huang Zu suddenly appeared under the city of Chaisang, making a big noise, intending to attack the city."

Sun Quan's words were full of anxiety.

Frost Moon was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked:

"What? Is there such a thing? ”

Seeing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"It seems that the general doesn't know about this either."

The Yunxiao Heavenly Kingdom powerhouse led by Frost Moon has spread dark sentinels along the way, if there is really an enemy army sneaking up on the rear, the dark sentinel will inevitably warn, but now how can the enemy army quietly kill under Chaisang City?

Frost Moon believed in the strength of the Heavenly Kingdom in her heart, and it was impossible for her elite warriors to make such a low-level mistake.

Then there is only one possibility, and that is if the enemy army has not passed through the area where it has been deployed.

Thinking of this, Frost Moon's sharp gaze fell on an area on the map—the Dabie Mountains.

There may be a possibility that this enemy army has long been lurking in the Dabie Mountains, and after the Eastern Wu army sets out, it will wait for an opportunity to surprise the rear.

Yes, that's the only way! Frost Moon judged.

But the question arises again, if this enemy army is lurking in the Dabie Mountains, then how will its logistics be solved? The Dabie Mountains are scarce in products and the roads are not smooth, so they cannot be used as a place for the army to be stationed at all, so they have always been neglected.

Unless this enemy army is small in number, it can lurk in the Dabie Mountains for a long time.

In this way, the so-called large-scale siege of the city is just a suspicious formation, and the purpose is nothing more than to lure the Wu army back to help. After thinking about this, Frost Moon was relieved.

I saw that Shuangyue arched her hand towards Sun Quan, and took the initiative to explain:

"Wu Hou, as far as people can see, this so-called Huangzu army is just a suspicious army, and it has long been lurking in the Dabie Mountains. Therefore, the contemptible people believe that there is no need to pay attention to this suspicious army at all, and with the governor of Zhou staying behind in Chaisang, the safety of the rear should be ensured. ”

Hearing that Shuangyue said so firmly, Sun Quan was puzzled, so he asked:

"According to the general, this army is only a suspicious soldier?"

"That's right!" Frost Moon said firmly.

Sun Quan shook his head, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid this suspicious army is not simple. There is also the possibility that they are outposts of the great army! ”

"An outpost of the Great Army? Wu Hou's meaning, but this suspicious army is followed by a large army? Frost Moon asked.

"Exactly!" Sun Quan recounted his thoughts with a serious face, "I'm afraid that the enemy of our army is not only Huang Zu in front of us, but also another force is involved. ”

Sun Quan's words were a little unexpected by Frost Moon, she raised her hand to the north, and blurted out:

"Marquis Wu means that Cao Cao is also involved?"

Sun Quan took a few shots of the case, and said in a deep voice:

"Exactly! Cao Cao's use of troops has always been changeable, and it is not ruled out that he sent the Huainan garrison to attack the rear of our army. ”

Shuangyue didn't believe Sun Quan's judgment, so she persuaded her:

"Wu Hou is probably too worried, Cao Cao's current strategic center is still in the north. Fighting a two-front war at the same time, Cao Cao would not be so unwise. ”

Sun Quan insisted on his own ideas very much, only to see his eyes like torches, and said in a deep voice:

"It is precisely because everyone in the world expects that Cao Cao will not use troops on two fronts, so he will neglect to take precautions. What if Cao Cao sacrificed a move to surprise him and attack him unprepared? ”

Frost Moon waved her hand and asked rhetorically:

"Is Wu Hou too careful?"

Seeing that Shuangyue did not agree with his point of view, Sun Quan stroked his purple hair with his hand and continued to analyze:

"Surprise is the characteristic of Cao Cao's use of troops. In the battle of Guandu that year, Yuan Shao gave up rescuing Wuchao because he expected that Cao Cao would return to the camp. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't follow common sense and refused to come back to help, but Yuan Shao was in chaos first. Neither captured Cao Cao's camp nor held the black nest, resulting in great confusion and defeat of the army.

"So we can't completely speculate on Cao Cao's use of troops according to common sense. After a few encounters, Gu knew Huang Zu's strength well, and it was only a matter of time to defeat him. Jiangxia is only a marginal area for Liu Biao, whether he loses it or not, it will not have an essential impact, and the focus of his real defense is in Nanjun. And Chaisang is the foundation of the business for Lone, and the families of the officers and soldiers in the army are mostly in the city, once there is a mistake, it will be a disaster. ”

Sure enough, Sun Quan is still too cautious in using soldiers, this person has such a character, maybe he is more suitable to be a king who guards the land. Frost Moon thought to herself.

Frost Moon's silence was actually an answer, and Sun Quan saw that he couldn't convince Frost Moon, so he could only force his decision. He raised his hand and said in a loud voice:

"The lonely mind has been decided, withdraw the army immediately!"

Now that Sun Quan had made up his mind, Frost Moon didn't say anything more. She suddenly got up from the Hu bed and said to Sun Quan:

"Obey the orders of Marquis Wu!"

After that, Frost Moon took the initiative to retreat on the grounds of returning to the camp to arrange for the withdrawal of troops.

On the way back to the camp, Frost Moon fell into deep thought.

There are new movements on the battlefield, and no matter whether this suspicious army is really Cao Jun or not, she must send someone to verify it so as not to cause miscalculation. If it is really Cao Jun, it means that this troubled hero has already begun to make arrangements for the future southern expedition.

The suspicion is just the beginning, and I am afraid that there will be other means in the future.

Shuangyue remembered Ren Ruyue, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region, at this time.

Someone must be sent to inform Ruyue, I am afraid that Jingzhou will not be peaceful during this time, so she must be more careful.

But after thinking about it, there was also a smart and witty Captain He beside Ruyue. Although this person is not a veteran general in the military world, he has grown rapidly, and he is the most optimistic subordinate of Frost Moon. With her by her side to help Ruyue, it should be no problem. Moreover, Liu Ruyan, the general of the military division, also stayed in the secret camp near Xiangyang, and if Ruyue encountered a problem that could not be handled, Ruyan could deal with it on her behalf. Ruyan is extremely smart, and even Frost Moon herself is so high that she sighs to herself. If it weren't for Ruyan's own weak health and blindness, I am afraid that his military achievements should be far above his own. With these capable people staying in Jingzhou, what do you have to worry about?

The most urgent task at this moment is how to deal with the matter in front of us. After returning to the camp, Shuangyue summoned her adjutant Zhen Huixian to her side and gave him an urgent task.
