After the cavalry of the Cao army arrived at the foot of Chaisang City, they did not rush to attack.

While they set up camp, they sent several troops and horses to scatter in all directions to search, so that Jiangdong would not hide his army outside the city.

After a long time, the mighty main force of Cao's army finally arrived.

Seeing the dense and murderous enemy soldiers, Rao is Cheng Pu experienced a hundred battles, and he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.

He turned his head to Ding Feng on the side and said,

"Have you ever sent someone to inform your lord?"

"Back to the governor, the envoy has already left the city!"

"That's good!"

Cheng Pu nodded, slightly relieved.

When Jiangdong fought against Huangzu before, Chaisang was a military stronghold on the front line.

Jiangdong invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this place, and even brought in river water and dug a moat.

Although Cao's army had artillery, Cheng Pu was very confident that he would be able to hold on until Sun Quan's reinforcements arrived.

Once reinforcements arrive, Cao's army may not be able to capture the city!

……

After the water village was broken by the Cao army, in order to prevent the Cao army from entering the Yangtze River, Sun Quan spared no expense and built a new city called Zheqi City on the opposite bank of the Yangtze River.

On weekdays, if there is no major event, he basically stays here.

It can be seen from this how much Sun Quan is afraid of Yang Ling.

The envoys sent by Cheng Pu traveled all the way south along the Yangtze River, and it took only one night to arrive at the city of Zheqi, which was located on the other side of the mouth of the river.

“…… Please also ask Wu Hou to quickly send rescuers to support the governor! ”

Listening to the envoy's words, Sun Quan's face changed.

He didn't expect that Cao Jun would be in such a hurry and launch an attack so quickly!

"Next month is the rainy season, presumably Cao Jun is planning to do it before the rainy season."

Lu Xun on the side slowly analyzed,

"As long as we hold out until the rainy season comes, when the weather is bad, Cao's army will have to retreat."

"You're right, but the question is, how do we support Governor Zuo?"

Sun Quan rubbed his forehead, looking quite helpless.

After so many years of development, the total strength of the entire Jiangdong is about 200,000.

It's just that this number looks huge, but it's fat.

Most of the army was deployed in the area of Chaisang and on the Yangtze River to guard against the attack of Cao's army.

The rest of the army either belonged to the private soldiers of wealthy families, and Sun Quan had no right to mobilize.

Either they were sent to the hinterland of Jiangdong to guard against and suppress the rebellion of the Shanyue people.

Therefore, Sun Quankong has an army of hundreds of thousands, but he is overstretched.

Lu Xun thought about it and proposed,

"Wu Hou might as well transfer half of the naval army and go to support Zuo Dudu."

Sun Quan was slightly stunned, and said with some concern,

"This matter is easy to say, but what if the Cao army attacks from the waterway?"

"Wu Hou and rest assured, even if there is only half of the water army, it is enough for Cao Jun to come and go!"

Lu Xun smiled disappreciatively.

Sun Quan thought about it, but he also felt that what Lu Xun said made sense.

Previously, when Sima Yi was in command of Jiangling, Cao's naval division was almost wiped out by the Sun-Liu coalition army.

Cao Wei is not good at building warships, how many warships can they build in less than half a year?

Leaving half of the sailors to defend the waterways is more than enough.

As long as you can hold Chaisang for January, when the rainy season comes, Cao Jun will naturally retreat!

Sun Quan thought so, but frowned slightly,

"Yang Ling is cunning, what if Cao's army attacks Chaisang is a feint, and he sends troops from Hefei?"

"Chaisang and Ochre only have a one-day waterway, if something really happens, Wu Hou can come back at any time."

Lu Xun analyzed,

"With the strength of our army, even if it is not Cao Jun's opponent, it won't be impossible to hold out for a day, right?"

Hearing his words, Sun Quan stretched his brows,

"It's good! Pass my military order, immediately allocate half of the soldiers and horses, and go to Chaisan with me! ”

"General Yigong, you are in charge of this place!"

Han Dang successively followed Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan, with outstanding achievements and high prestige in Jiangdong.

Let him sit in the city of Ochre, but it is the most suitable!

"Please rest assured that Wu Hou will be handed over to you!"

Han Dang said in a deep voice.

"Good! Pack up and let's go! ”

Sun Quan put his mind at ease and said to Lu Xun, Lu Su, Ling Tong and others on the side.

The war is urgent, and the soldiers of Jiangdong do not dare to slack off.

After a little rectification, they rode the warship upriver and headed towards Chaohu Lake!

After Sun Quan and the others left, Han Dang immediately ordered to enter a state of alert, and asked the soldiers to patrol the Yangtze River and the mouth of the water day and night, so as not to kill the Cao army from Hefei!

After a busy day and inspecting the situation in the city, Han Dang returned to his residence and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to take off his armor and go to bed to rest, he saw a herald rush in.

"General Qiyu, our army captured a small boat on the river, and the person on board claimed to be General Gongfu!"

Han Dang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said,

"Bring him here!"

After a while, several soldiers escorted a big man to Han Dang's room.

When he saw the appearance of the big man, Han Dang couldn't help but burst into tears,

"Brother Gongfu, you're all right!"

Yes, the person who came was Huang Gai!

In the First Battle of Hefei, Huang Gai was captured together with Lü Meng.

After Hefei City was regained and lost, Lu Meng and Huang Gai were both captured.

After the news of Lü Meng's murder came back, although he didn't know Huang Gai's whereabouts, in the eyes of everyone in Jiangdong, Huang Gai and Lü Meng's fate was similar.

Sun Quan not only erected a mound for Huang Gai, but also ordered his family to be rewarded.

Han Dang and Huang Gai followed Sun Quan to raise troops at about the same time, and they were both old men in Jiangdong, but the two had a deep friendship.

After learning that Huang Gai was "killed", Han Dang also cried bitterly and vowed to avenge Huang Gai.

But he never expected that Huang Gai not only did not die, but even appeared in front of him!

"Yigong doesn't need to be excited, I'm very good."

Huang Gai was not as excited as Han Dang, but smiled faintly,

"Please also ask the righteous prince to step back, I have something important to discuss with you!"

When Han Dang heard this, he sensed that something was wrong.

According to common sense, Huang Gai fell into the hands of Cao Jun and was either killed like Lü Meng or imprisoned.

And he came alone tonight, and his words were so mysterious, could it be him......

Han Dang's heart tightened, and he hesitated for a moment before he ordered,

"You all stand down!"

"Whoa!"

The left and right soldiers surrendered their orders.

After there were only two people left in the room, Han Dang stared at Huang Gai with a solemn face,

"Could it be that Brother Gong has already surrendered to Yang Thief?"

Huang Gai sat down, fiddled with the oil lamp on the case, and said lightly,

"What Yigong said is right, I have taken refuge in the general!"

Han Dang didn't expect Huang Gai to admit it so simply, he was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily,

"Yang Ling is despicable and shameless, greedy for money and lustful, why would the public take refuge in him?"
