Zhou Yu really didn't expect that after he came up with such an excellent siege tactic, Lu Meng and the others still couldn't completely break through Hefei City.

After attacking for four or five days, although they broke through the outer city of Hefei and killed and injured many Hefei defenders, the Hefei defenders under the control of Zhang Liao finally retreated to Wengcheng and were still resisting stubbornly.

Zhou Yu cursed Zhang Xi in his heart again, the training method given by this kid must be hidden, otherwise the combat power would not be so great.

Since he couldn't break through Hefei City for four or five days, Zhou Yu thought about it for a while, and suggested that Sun Quan destroy the outer city of Hefei, and then accept it when he saw it, and withdraw his troops.

If the troops are not withdrawn, if Cao Cao's army rushes to support, something big will happen.

But now Sun Quan doesn't want to quit the army.

The outer cities have been breached, Zhang Liao Xiao'er retreated to the urn city, if he doesn't work hard to beat him down and capture Zhang Liao alive, where will he put his face? !

Therefore, Sun Quan insisted on attacking.

But. Zhang Liao withdrew his troops.

Yes, Zhang Liao did not continue to hold on to Hefei, but led the remaining Hefei defenders to take the initiative to evacuate Hefei City and cede this fortified city to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was overjoyed, and immediately planned to pursue with all his strength - it doesn't matter to others, Zhang Liao's goods must die.

Zhou Yu felt that this was wrong, and hurriedly dissuaded Sun Quan and asked him to slow down his actions. But where did Sun Quan listen to Zhou Yu at this time, he only had Zhang Liao in his eyes.

Then, the pursuing troops led by Chen Wu encountered an ambush set by Zhang Liao halfway, and under the death battle, the pursuing troops led by Chen Wu were all wiped out, and Chen Wu himself was killed in battle.

Fortunately, Lu Meng, who was following Chen Wu in pursuit, quickly sensed that something was wrong, and set up troops on the spot, and did not continue to pursue rashly.

Then Lü Meng got the news from the defeated army - the army that ambushed Chen Wu was definitely not only Zhang Liao's defeated army, at least more than 5,000 people.

At this time, Lu Meng finally came to his senses, hurriedly arranged a defensive formation, and then sent a detailed investigation to investigate, and learned that Cao Cao personally led an army of 200,000 troops, which had reached thirty miles north of Shouchun and rushed towards Hefei.

Zhang Liao's retreat was instructed by Cao Cao, in order to attract Sun Quan to pursue, or let Sun Quan occupy Hefei City and not leave, and the two sides fought a decisive battle.

On the Yangtze River, Cao Cao can't beat you Sun Quan, but on the land of Jiangbei, Cao Cao can still be afraid of a Jiangdong child?!

On the one hand, Lu Meng made a defensive posture, and on the other hand, he quickly told Sun Quan the latest situation, so that Sun Quan could make a decision.

At this time, Sun Quan had already entered Hefei City, and when he heard the news of Cao Cao's visit, he was suddenly a little numb.

I'm afraid that Cao Cao led the "400,000" army to attack Misukou a year ago, and in the end, he had no choice but to retreat, Sun Quan is really not afraid.

But the problem is that if you decide the winner with Cao Cao in Jiangbei, it's okay to say if you win, but if you lose. Then Jiangdong may only have to paint to protect himself.

Moreover, seventy thousand against two hundred thousand . Regardless of whether these 200,000 are "claimed" or not, the side with superior forces can be sure that they no longer belong to themselves.

Sun Quan has not lost his judgment in the end, and knows that it is more likely that he will suffer a loss by beating himself like this, so he no longer insists.

On the one hand, he ordered Lü Meng to lead the army to break off, and on the other hand, he began to arrange the retreat.

As for Hefei City. If you can lay the first time, you can lay the second time, so why care about the gains and losses of one city and one place.

I have to say that Sun Quan at this time really has the courage of a generation of heroes, especially this expedition to Hefei, which is far from a failure, and Sun Quan is still full of confidence.

Therefore, Sun Quan decided to arrange for the army to withdraw first, and he personally guarded it at the Xiaoyaojin Ferry.

Second, it is also to respond to Lu Meng's broken troops.

Lv Meng was single-handedly promoted by Sun Quan from the army, from a fierce general who only knew how to charge into battle, and slowly became a general who now has the potential to command, Sun Quan is really optimistic about Lv Meng's growth, so he will never allow Lv Meng to lose, and he must see Lv Meng return to the army with his own eyes.

Even Sun Quan wanted to give Lü Meng a banquet at the Xiaoyaojin Ferry to celebrate his exploits and reward him for his achievements after breaking through Hefei and leading the troops.

Then he was trained by Zhou Yu.

This time, Zhou Yu really didn't give Sun Quan face, because Sun Quan was a bit unreliable in doing this.

What rewards and celebration banquets can't be said back, now it's the current enemy, if Cao Cao sends someone to lead the cavalry to raid, what can we do with the few people we still have?!

Sun Quan was very unhappy, but the reason was still there, under the persuasion of Zhou Yu, there was finally no banquet, and after receiving Lu Meng's return army, he began to arrange for Lu Meng to cross the river first, and he was the last to go.

Zhou Yu really can't do anything about this lord. The person who should go first in the whole army is you, Sun Quan.

But think about it, the lord is trying to buy the heart of the army, and Zhou Yu doesn't have much to say, if he talks too much in this regard, he will be easily annoyed.

Therefore, Zhou Yu was just prepared to deal with Cao Cao's surprise attack, just in case.

As a result, this response was really used - Zhang Liao saw that Sun Quan only left two or three thousand people on the north bank of Xiaoyaojin, so he immediately asked Cao Cao for battle and led his troops to raid Sun Quan's own formation.

Cao Cao had never seen such a wave of the lord of the party, and immediately agreed to Zhang Liao's request.

Then Zhang Liao took 3,000 people this time and raided again.

Sun Quan didn't expect that he had withdrawn from the army, and Zhang Liao would have to raid, and for a while he remembered the horror of being surrounded by 800 people.

But Zhou Yu was not Sun Quan, he had already prepared, on the one hand, he held the camp steadily, and on the other hand, he asked Sun Quan to quickly get on the ship and retreat.

Zhang Liao assaulted for a while, found that the enemy lineup was well-organized, the camp was well defended, and knew that he could not attack it for a while, and then saw that Sun Quan's army had already crossed the river on the boat, and did not continue to attack, and returned to the army to ask Cao Cao for guilt.

Cao Cao didn't care, because he saw the banner of the word "Zhou" in the camp.

"Jiangdong Zhoulang, if you don't waste your name!"

Cao Cao completely forgot that a few years ago, he defended his defeat at Chibi as "burning the ship and retreating", saying that Zhou Yu was "making Zhou Lang'er famous".

After leaving this latest evaluation of Zhou Yu, Cao Cao left Zhang Liao to continue to guard Hefei, and he himself led his troops back north.

In this battle, although Jiangdong captured Hefei, it was quickly lost, and it can be said that the strategic goal was completed, but it was not completed.

But this battle allowed Sun Quan to successfully establish his prestige in the army, and at the same time, it also made the Jiangdong group see the possibility of capturing Hefei and marching to Qingxu, so Jiangdong actually didn't feel that he had failed.

On the other hand, although Cao Cao lost Hefei for a time, he finally recaptured it and thwarted Jiangdong's conspiracy to march into Huainan.

Again, a battle in which both sides felt like they had won.

And this battle, after it was later introduced to Shudi, the people of Liu Bei's group were also amazed.

First, I didn't expect that Sun Quan didn't occupy Hefei in such a tailwind situation, and almost made a big mistake, if Zhou Yu hadn't responded in time, the consequences might have been unimaginable.

On the other hand, Zhou Yu is really not easy to mess with.

The person who felt this the most was Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi really didn't expect that the impact of Zhou Yu's death would be so great.

Zhang Xi knew the original history, and knew that Sun 100,000 attacked Hefei this time, he should have been scared half to death by Zhang Liao's 800 assaults, and then he couldn't beat Hefei for a month.

Then Zhang Liao said, you have set up the stage for me, if I don't go up and sing a few sentences, wouldn't it be a lot of hard work for you? !

Decisively seized the opportunity and led two or three thousand people to launch a surprise attack on Sun Quan's main formation.

Do you think, Zhang Liao's 800 people can force Sun Quan to defend himself with spears on the slope, this time there are two or three thousand people in his hands, and Sun Quan has two or three thousand people in his hands, who wins and who loses, is there any accident? !

Sun Quan was beaten and almost died in Xiaoyaojin, and the generals in the army suffered heavy losses, so that Jiangdong heard the name of Zhang Liao and stopped crying.

This should be the real second battle of Hefei between Zhang Babai and Sun 100,000.

But now, because of Zhou Yu's timely rescue, although Sun Quan was still frightened to go up the mountain to defend himself with a spear, he didn't suffer much loss anyway, and he barely repelled Zhang Liao's attack.

And Hefei City is even more outrageous, Sun Quan actually really laid Hefei with the help of Zhou Yu, although he failed to hold it, but in terms of Sun 100,000's ability, it is normal.

So on the whole, although Sun Quan sent troops this time, although he damaged Chen Wu, it really can't be said to be a big defeat, and Zhang Xi knows the real hero here.

Zhou Yu.

This made Zhang Xi a little numb. If Sun Quan will betray the alliance and attack Jingzhou in the future, the person who will lead the troops is not only Lu Meng, but also Zhou Yu.

Then Jingzhou's defense now is somewhat insufficient.

The guard of the public security city is not Shiren, but Wenpin, and the Taishou of Wuling County is Xu Shu, but Zhang Xi is really bottomless, these two can really block the joint raid of Zhou Yu and Lvmeng? !

Maybe it can work, maybe it can't be done Zhang Xi is now the Taishou of Badong County, and he can't stretch his hand so long for the time being, and he can only take one step at a time to see what happens in Jingzhou.
