In the sixth year of Jian'an, at the end of the autumn of 202 AD, Sun Ce, the general of Jiangdong, led 5,000 generals, out of Baqiu, crossed into the Yangtze River, and went north to Puqi.

Originally, with Guo Jia's idea, this group of people should rush to Tang, attack the public security, and then threaten Nanjun, which just echoed Zhou Yu's army. Surprisingly, Zhang Lang opposed Guo Jia's idea and said: "Although our army now has the initiative in the overall strategic situation, it does not have an absolute advantage. Liu Biao has also been in Jingzhou for more than ten years, and he dare not say that he is as stable as a rock and deeply rooted, but the emaciated camel is no bigger than a horse. We must not want to swallow Jingzhou in one go. ”

Guo Jia was silent for a long time, although he had some thoughts in his heart, he didn't refute anything. Because he also understands the key point: a hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff. Liu Xian said that no matter how he lost, at least he had not shaken his fundamentals, and once he eased his breath, it would inevitably be another bitter battle. And now Zhang Lang took advantage of the initiative in the middle of the hand, first took the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then pushed the war into Nanjun, step by step to dismantle the strongest fortress on Liu Biao's defense line, and hit their confidence, which is undoubtedly a very wise move.

Sun Ce led 5,000 generals to rush into Puqi.

Because Cai Mao's 30,000 soldiers and horses had been firmly nailed to death by Zhou Yu in the Jiangling area, except for the front lines of Ulin and Hanyang, almost all the troops in the counties of Nanjun were drawn into a vacuum. However, in ten years, 5,000 soldiers and horses arrived in Puqi unscathed.

Since then, the Jiangdong Army has become a joint force, and Sun Ce's front is wide, and the official road to the east can not reach Wulin for more than 100 miles; Traveling west for five or six days, it is the supply place of Hanyang. Between advance and retreat, it is like a spring, flexible and flexible.

In Xiakou.

Cheng Yu excitedly raised the letterhead in his hand, his fingertips were still trembling, his face was a little deformed with excitement, and he kept shouting in his heart: It's too timely, it's really timely.

Tian Feng, who was sitting on the side, was a little puzzled, although Cheng Yu had always been flamboyant and fierce, he had never been so impulsive. Faintly, I felt that something big was happening. And Tian Feng is not the kind of person who has to suppress his emotions, he looked at the shaking letterhead in Cheng Yu's hand with straight eyes, and asked out loud: "Master Cheng, what happened?" ”

Cheng Yu suddenly laughed, his voice was full of joy and strength. He slapped Tian Feng on the shoulder, due to the excessive force, there was a feeling of paralysis in the palm of his hand, but this could not make his excitement any less, he withdrew the palm that began to redden, completely ignoring the weak Tian Feng's bitter gourd-like face, and said excitedly: "Good news, great news, Sun Ce has crossed the north shore and pounced on Puqi." ”

Tian Feng stood up suddenly, looked at the pain just now, clapped his hands, made a crisp sound, and said in a deep voice: "Such a big thing can be decided." ”

Cheng Yu smiled, his mood was extremely comfortable, obviously the battle of Xiakou had not made any progress, and he had been suppressed in his heart for too long. He tightened his fists, waved hard, and said loudly: "Sun Ce has made it clear in his letter that he wants the Chibi Navy to cooperate with the actions of their army on the ninth day of the lunar month, take Wulin in one fell swoop, and counterattack Chuyang. ”

Tian Feng obviously couldn't sit still, this news was so exciting, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Don't delay Lord Cheng, in the opinion of your subordinates, it is better to summon all the soldiers and soldiers to assign tasks now, and prepare how to cooperate with Sun Ce to take the small land of Wulin." ”

Cheng Yu only calmed down a little at this time, took a deep breath, calmed down the excitement in his heart, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, according to what Fu Hao said, immediately summon all the soldiers to discuss how to act." However, our army has been grinding with Liu Biao for at least half a year here, and the land of Wulin is really not easy to take. ”

The two old foxes looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at the same time.

Five days later, the fourth watch, Xiakou Fushang.

All the senior generals were assembled, neatly lined up on the left and right, waiting for Cheng Yu's orders.

Because Cheng Yu took the post of Xiakou Taishou on his behalf, although Tian Feng's official position was higher than him, Zhang Lang only asked him to assist Cheng Yu, so the big seat above was still occupied by Cheng Yu. And Tian Feng stood at the bottom of the right row, taking it seriously and without a trace of complaint. Of course, Cheng Yu and Tian Feng are one of the earliest think tanks since the Zhang Lang Group's uprising, and the two also have a deep friendship.

It seemed that the following were discussing what Taishou would do when he summoned them at this time, Cheng Yu coughed lightly, and then immediately quieted down, and everyone focused all their eyes on him without a sound. It can be seen that Cheng Yu has a very high prestige after staying in Xiakou for more than a year.

Cheng Yu's eyes swept over the venue, and seeing that everyone was quietly waiting for him to speak, he was very satisfied, his eyes widened with wisdom, gently stroked the long sideburns, and slowly spoke: "Everyone must be very strange why I called you here at this time. Don't worry, I'll make things clear to you. Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused intentionally, seemed to adjust everyone's appetite, and continued: "However, before the news is announced, I want you to discuss what is a good way to attack Liu Biao's defense line in one fell swoop." ”

The generals look at me, I look at you, and finally focus on Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai has the highest prestige among this group of soldiers, he also felt everyone's eyes, and did not hesitate to go out, but his face was a little confused: "Lord Taishou, how to attack, we have often discussed before, if you want to break through Wulin, it is not impossible, but there are two keys: first, we have to drag the naval troops that Hanyang came down to support; Second, we need to have a team that can fight out of Lower Ulinji and control the whole of Ulinji. Because Wulin is divided into upper Wulin and lower Wulin, and there is only a narrow corridor in the middle, one wall is Honghu Lake, and the other wall is the Yangtze River. As long as Wulinji can be cut off, the army of Huangpengshan will be separated from the naval army of Wulin, and once there is no infantry support, it will be impossible to stop our army's charge with the 5,000 naval army of Wulin and the fewer and fewer warships. Now the first step is still good to say, the key is the second step, if you want to have a surprise soldier to kill Wulinji, I'm afraid we can only wait for the news from the lord's side, otherwise it is impossible for us to take this place at a small price. After Zhou Tai said this, he suddenly sighed and said: "I got the news before, the lord has sent General Zhou Yu to lead 10,000 sailors out of Baqiu, preparing to attack Nanjun Laowo Jiangling. With Zhou Yu's 10,000 troops, I'm afraid of ......" Zhou Tai's words didn't come out, but the implication was already very obvious, and he was not optimistic about Zhou Yu's prospects at all.

Cheng Yu didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and it seemed that he still didn't plan to tell Sun Ce's news.

Chen Wu, who is seven feet long, has yellow eyes and red eyes, and looks very strange, is also out of the ranks, although he is a martial artist and his appearance is very scary, but he is kind and charitable, his surname is straightforward, and he is very easy to get along with. He couldn't help complaining: "After so many years of fighting, I have never been so depressed as now, obviously the enemy is in front, but we can only watch them, but there is no way at all." The lord is really right, why don't you send General Zhou Yu to kill Wulin, so that you can get angry. ”

Although the generals disagreed with Chen Wu's complaint to Zhang Lang, they did not speak out against it, and obviously said that everyone was on the line.

Only Cheng Yu's face sank, a gloomy color, and immediately crawled all over his face, he snorted coldly, and then said: "Since Zilie is depressed in his heart, then the Taishou Ke Te will let you go on vacation, let you go back to Moling to relax first, and then recruit you into the army after the Xiakou offensive and defensive battle is over, so that you will not be depressed." ”

Chen Wu was startled on the spot, and hurriedly said, "Lord Taishou, don't let someone stay at home, it's better to kill me directly." After finishing speaking, he pulled Zhou Tai's armor with his thick hands, concealed and hard, hoping that he could help him say something good. And although Zhou Tai is also a rough man, it is obvious that he has some disdain for complaining about Zhang Lang, tilting his head to the sky, turning a blind eye to Chen Wu's small movements.

Chen Wu was in such a hurry in his heart, the turtle on his face was red, and he almost howled.

The generals saw it in their eyes and laughed in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out to help him.

Chen Wu cried and was very depressed.

Just when Chen Wu was still trying to beg Cheng Yu, the latter was obviously not in the mood to make any more trouble, and said lightly: "Okay, I won't play dumb riddles with you anymore, I just received news that General Sun Ce has taken 5,000 men and horses to Puqi, and made an appointment with us to prepare to attack Wulin, and it was this morning." ”

"Ahh As soon as Cheng Yu's words ended, there was a huge cheer in the venue.

Although everyone was a little prepared in their hearts, the sudden news still made them very happy.

"The lord really knows it." Ichisho sighed excitedly.

"The lord is investigating the heavens, and he has already grasped the wisdom bead." I can't help but pat my ass.

"My lord is amazing, I love you to death." A crazy upside down.

"Quiet." Cheng Yu looked at the soldiers below who were already excited and chaotic, and roared with a slanted face.

"You." Cheng Yu picked up Chen Wu with his hand and roared angrily with red eyes.

"The end will be." Chen Wu's spirit was high, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, should I take the lead? Haha, cool.

"Chen Wu, because you are incoherent and offended the lord, I specially ordered you to bring 3,000 soldiers to guard the big city of Xiakou. If you make a mistake, you will come to me with a dog's head. Cheng Yu's originally tense face suddenly turned into a businessman's appearance, and he kept sneering.

With a "plop", Chen Wu fell to the ground, looking at Cheng Yu in disbelief, stupid for a while. In the middle of the sound, he suddenly came back to his senses from the blow just now, and screamed miserably: "Taishou, his subordinates don't defend the city, and they want to go out of the city to kill the enemy." ”

Cheng Yu sneered: "Chen Wu, if you don't understand your military position, it can be regarded as giving you face, you have to be content and happy." ”

The soldiers who didn't come shivered, looking at Cheng Yu's sneer, goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body, and he decided in his heart that Cheng Yu was an extremely insidious and cunning guy, and he must not be offended in the future.

Cheng Yu didn't care what the soldiers below thought, and continued: "I have already discussed with Lord Tian just now, from now on, all generals will lead their headquarters and be ready for battle at any time." ”

The generals responded with a roar.

"Where is Zhu Ran?" Cheng Yu is majestic.

"The end will be." A young general who never looked older than he stood stood up to the next ranked.

"You immediately order 5,000 elite soldiers on the water, go up the river, and anchor in Shilinji, if you find that there is a naval army coming up in Hanyang, you must not let it go."

"The last will understand." Zhu Ran, who received the order, was beaming with joy and strode out happily.

"Zhou Tai."

"The end will be." As soon as Zhou Tai heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

"You light up 10,000 naval troops, start bluffing the Hanyang defense line from this morning, and after noon, launch a fierce attack on Hanyang, remember, don't get too close, attacking Hanyang is not the goal, but the means, so as to contain them, prevent them from supporting Wulin, and Ben Taishou will personally supervise your battle in the back." Cheng Yu cut the railway.

"The last will be ordered." Zhou Tai should come down without thinking about it, as long as there is a battle, it doesn't matter who is supervising the battle.

"Dong Xi."

"The end will be."

"Among the generals, you are the most calm, I specially order you to take 10,000 sailors, before the fifth watch, you must set off secretly, go up the river bank, and move closer to Chibi, before noon, you must let the soldiers arrive, and ensure that the soldiers are all in good spirits and have high morale. Wait for the hour after Jiang Qin launched a fierce attack on Ullin, and then you join the battle, what problem do you have? Cheng Yu asked solemnly.

Dong Xi shook his head and said that there was no problem.

Cheng Yu nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Then you can go." ”

Dong Xi suddenly responded: "The last general swears to complete the task." ”

With Cheng Yu's generals and passionate voices, all the soldiers became more and more excited, and their eyes turned blood-red with excitement. The ones who were ordered came out to lead the troops, and those who didn't were even more grinding their fists, because they understood that breaking Liu Biaojun's army was between these two days.

At the same time in Chibi.

Jiang Qin stood on top of the pavilion, the dark sky contrasting with the torches in the sky.

Jiang Qinhu's eyes were shining, scanning the water village of His Excellency Lou, the black-pressed soldiers were gathering the warship, and the bright weapons were shining in the firelight, and he roared: "Are you all ready?" ”

"Ready." All the soldiers shouted in response, and their voices resounded through the sky.

Jiang Qin waved his arm fiercely, the spear in his hand shone with cold frost in the moonlight, and he roared again: "Pick up your weapons and stir up your blood, it is a good man from Jiangdong, are you ready to fight the battlefield with blood and return home?" ”

"Ready." The 10,000 sailors shouted in unison, the sound was deafening, and the blood was flying.

Jiang Qin roared again: "Today it is only a victory, not a defeat, all the three armies obey the order and set off." ”

"Let's go." The overwhelming sound of blood, military horns, war drums, and the band sounded at the same time, intertwined a blood-like journey.

All the large warships in the Chibi Water Village base began to start slowly. Small light boats, leading the way.

10,000 sailors began to drive towards Ulin with great momentum.
