The news of the destruction of Shouchun City soon spread to Xuchang City.

Now Xun Yu stays here.

Looking at the rout in front of him, Xun Yu frowned and said:

"What the hell is going on, why did Shouchun suddenly break through, if it is a normal defense, you should be able to wait for reinforcements, right?"

The rout trembled and said:

"Qi Yu Lingjun, it is the enemy army who pretended to be a merchant and hijacked the soldiers of the coastal outpost to open the city gate. The enemy attack was sudden, and there was no time to defend it, and the city of Shouchun was broken. ”

Xun Yu's face sank, and then said:

"Is it the Jingzhou Army or the Jiangdong Army that attacked?"

The rout hesitated and replied:

"Qi Yu Lingjun, it looks like the Jiangdong Army."

The beginning and end of the matter have probably been clarified, and as the soldier said, after the enemy captured Shouchun, he still did not mean to stop, but attacked the city along the coast by boat.

Since he stayed in Xuchang, he naturally couldn't watch the enemy behave recklessly.

Now that the enemy is attacking the defenders, the possible options are nothing more than the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army. If Jiangdong is sending troops at this moment, then its intention is self-evident.

Previously, Sun Quan sent someone to send a letter of surrender, but it was just to confuse the prime minister so that he could make a surprise attack today.

Earlier, the Jiangxia Navy defeated the Jiangdong Navy Army, and the news should be true. But behind them, there may have been some agreement, that now that the prime minister is going south, Jiangdong is attacking Shouchun.

After a while, Xun Yu made a decision.

This matter must be immediately notified to the prime minister, and at the same time troops and horses must be mobilized to stop the invading enemy army.

And the soldiers and horses guarding the stronghold outside Xuchang City, Zhang Liao had received Cao Cao's order to gallop to Jingbei. The only thing that can be mobilized now is the ban on this way.

After considering it, Xun Yu immediately wrote two urgent reports, one was sent to Cao Cao in Jingbei, and the other was for Yu Ban.

Looking at the dark night outside the city, Xun Yu muttered to himself:

"I'm afraid that the prime minister's southern expedition will not go as smoothly as imagined!"

Outside the city of Xuchang.

Yu Ban stationed troops here.

After all, Xuchang, as the current Han capital, is also Cao Cao's hometown, so it would be funny if someone stole it.

When Yu Ban received an urgent report from Xun Yu.

His face suddenly looked surprised.

Because Yu Ban knew very well that if something big didn't happen, Xun Yu wouldn't suddenly send a message, and he didn't dare to slack off.

As a general under Cao Cao, except for the surrender of the flooded Seventh Army, there is actually no stain on Yu Ban.

After reading the emergency report, Yu Ban finally understood what was happening.

Now that the prime minister is marching south to Jingzhou, Jiangdong has raided Shouchun, Runan and other places, and the incident happened suddenly, and now Xun Yu can mobilize only his own troops and horses.

Looking at the messenger, Yu Ban said loudly:

"You go back and report to Xun Lingjun, this matter will already be known, and tomorrow morning you will raise troops to support Shouchun."

The other side.

From after the capture of Shouchun.

Lü Meng advanced all the way, and in the entire Huainan land, Cao Cao actually did not arrange too many soldiers and horses.

The main thing is the fortified city of Shouchun, and Cao Cao didn't expect Lu Meng to play so yin. It was captured without even a major battle, not to mention the subsequent cities.

If Shouchun is not broken, Lu Meng will not dare to move forward unscrupulously.

Under a city.

Lü Meng commanded the troops and horses to attack.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report:

"General, a large number of Cao troops have been found on the flank."

Lu Meng was a little surprised when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:

"Is this the arrival of reinforcements from the Cao army?"

In the current situation, of course, Lu Meng would not be stupid enough to go toe-to-toe with Cao Jun. The purpose of his trip was just to come and harass a wave, and since the main force of the Cao army was here, he should leave.

"Give the order to go down, and the whole army retreats."

Without delay, Lu Meng gave the order directly.

The soldier said yes.

Jiangdong's soldiers and horses were ordered and quickly took action.

They did not dare to go deep into the hinterland.

It is to attack along the waterway, and it is convenient to run away when the time comes, as long as they enter the waterway, it will be their home field.

In the distance.

A large army is coming, and it is Yu Ban who leads the troops.

His gaze fell on the retreating enemy troops, and then he gave the order without hesitation:

"It's so easy to catch up and run."

Cao Jun was chasing after him in the rear, Lu Meng was not worried, there was a waterway ahead, and they could retreat when they got on the boat.

However, the situation was not as simple as Lu Meng thought.

Just as he was running away with his people, he suddenly found many large boats on the river, and these were not his own boats.

Seeing the banner on it, Lu Meng suddenly changed color.

"It's the Jingzhou Water Army, why are they here?"

Almost instantly, a cold sweat broke out on Lu Meng's back, and those big ships were getting closer and closer, blocking his way.

Obviously, the retreat that Lu Meng had prepared was gone.

On top of the big ship.

The first general stood at the bow of the ship, it was Gan Ning, and the river was even shallower here, so he did not drive the treasure ship in.

And with the strength of the Jiangxia Navy, even without the blessing of the treasure ship, the combat power of the Navy is beyond doubt. After all, now the Jiangdong Navy has been crippled, and there are few big ships.

"It seems that Cao Jun has caught up."

Gan Ning was a little funny, looking at the Jiangdong soldiers and horses on the shore at a loss, it was quite funny.

This feeling of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is quite refreshing.

Beside Gan Ning, Su Fei asked with a smile: qδ.o

"So what are we going to do now?"

Gan Ning replied calmly:

"Let's see the situation first, don't worry, just let them eat dogs. Anyway, we have blocked the river, and the people in Jiangdong can't escape, so they can only turn back and fight. ”

Not to mention, it's really interesting.

Su Fei was under Huang Zu and guarded Jiangxia for many years, so he naturally had many major wars with Jiangdong, and there were many grudges.

Now it's finally time to turn over and become a landlord.

At the same time, Gan Ning said calmly:

"The Jiangdong soldiers and horses and the Cao army are all in our pockets."

This happened so suddenly that it was unexpected.

Beside Lu Meng, an adjutant general hesitated:

"General, the river is blocked."

Glancing at the deputy general, Lu Meng said angrily:

"Nonsense, don't you think Ben can't see it?"

The adjutant general hesitated, and finally said:

"So what are we going to do now?"

Lu Meng glanced at the river, and then at the back, they were now in the past, and they didn't even have enough time to board the boat.

Not to mention the fact that the ships are too different.

If they really want to do it, they don't have the slightest advantage.

If you want to evacuate at this moment, it is better to try to defeat Cao's army first, and then you can still walk along the coast.

I saw Lu Meng shouting in a deep voice:

"Pass the order, turn back to meet the enemy, and there is still a way to survive defeating Cao's army, otherwise no one will be able to go."

The generals panicked, but they still obeyed.

Yu Ban led the army in pursuit.

Seeing that the enemy army was about to reach the water's edge, he suddenly stopped, as if preparing to meet the enemy here.

This scene made Yu Ban a little surprised.

At the same time, he also discovered.

In the middle of the river, there were many large boats.

Is this the enemy's reliance?

Yu Ban was even more vigilant in his heart, he obviously felt that the situation was a little abnormal at the moment, what was wrong?
