Lujiang.

The night before, Dian Wei entered the Lujiang Pass, walked around the land, and entered from the mountains, as Jia Xu said, there was no ambush.

So he knew that Lujiang did not have any defense, or that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses had not arrived here, so he drove straight in, marched in the starry night, broke through the three passes to occupy the road, and returned to the ferry to drop 500 soldiers and horses.

Occupy all the boats at the ferry and use them to pick up the army behind them.

Dian Wei is cavalry marched again and rushed to Anhui County.

Breaking through three levels in one night, killing more than 1,000 enemy troops, Dian Wei continued to make meritorious contributions, fought well, and had the momentum of constant victory, and was even more convinced of Jia Xu's words.

So directly after resting for two hours, he led the troops to continue south to Anhui County, preparing to rest again in Anhui County.

At this time, Dian Wei, as if he had gone crazy, believed in Jia Xu's words.

The prince has great ambitions, and few people know it, if it is ordinary people, it is impossible to see the doorway, but in the Lujiang River, it can be said to be the hub of the future, and it will definitely be able to make a career for the prince...... and even a place to save your life after becoming famous.

Therefore, Dian Wei knew about this and was even more sure in his heart that he would never let the prince have hidden dangers in the future.

In his heart, the reason is also very simple.

If you treat me as a countryman, I will treat me as a countryman.

Not to mention the promise of "fullness" back then, how many layout arrangements Xu Zhen secretly made in Wancheng, and personally went to plead with Cao Chun, it is said to be a plea, Dian Wei can also imagine how embarrassed such a high-minded and arrogant prince who is unwilling to ask for help.

He remembered these friendships in his heart.

Now that Jia Xu has said so, Lujiang must be extremely important to the prince's heart, and it must be taken down.

"General, don't be in such a hurry!"

Jia Xu followed behind him, his face was extremely pale, he really couldn't stand it, although he didn't need to charge into battle, but after all, he was old, and he was not good at marching like this.

I knew that Dian Wei would be so brave and diligent, so I didn't give him advice.

Jia Xu knew in his heart that if he waited for the arrival of the prince step by step, he would actually have the opportunity to take Anhui County first.

After all, Sun Ce's march from Danyang was to bypass the southern part of Shouchun, and he had to take two places to march by land and water, although the distance was short, but it would take about ten days.

And most of them are foot horses, after all, the cavalry in the south is not strong, because the terrain is not conducive to raising good horses in a large area, so the foot soldiers and sailors are more outstanding.

This is their topography.

That's why Lujiang is important.

The Lujiang River is equivalent to the boundary between the land route and the waterway, and if the whole county is properly defended, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can raise a naval army, and it can also lead the horse south.

At this moment, passing by a bamboo forest, it is the fog is majestic, the road is unknown, and this is also a quiet place, and it is estimated that it is not too far from Anhui County.

Lujiang is a quiet residence in many water towns, and many dwellings can be seen around it.

In the bamboo forest, there was a quiet sound of the piano at this time.

The sound of the guqin, melodious and ethereal, endless, Jia Xu just heard it, and felt extremely comfortable in his heart, as if many chaotic emotions were instantly smoothed out, and it was like the dust that was originally raised, and it settled on the ground again.

"General, did you hear that?"

Jia Xu immediately shouted with a drunken face, so it is better to slow down the sound of the piano, stop the movement slightly, and slow down into Anhui County, so that the soldiers can walk and rest halfway.

Dian Wei shook his head and said, "It's hard to hear, hurry up." ”

"What the hell are you talking about in broad daylight, don't stay here, you must make contributions to the prince as soon as possible and take down Anhui County!"

"Left and right, go find out who is playing the piano, scold a few words, and tell them to stop playing!"

"Whoa!"

Dian Wei shouted a few times angrily, beckoned the left and right horses to move forward, and the fast horses came out, and the horses took the lead in the forefront, and the cavalry followed with high spirits.

Jia Xu was dumbfounded, and watched from behind as the two cavalry guards went to someone's house and scolded a few times, the sound of the piano stopped immediately, and then the old man walked out on crutches and watched with his hands behind his back in the distance.

I was speechless for a while.

It's nothing more than playing the piano to a cow!

"Alas! March! ”

Jia Xu walked with tears in his eyes, following Dian Wei, he felt that his buttocks were numb, and there were countless things churning in his stomach, and he still couldn't figure out why he, a man who was nearly sixty years old, wanted to march here.

……

"Alas, Prince! Let's set up camp! Take a short break, and you won't be able to walk again! ”

At this time, in the field near the Lujiang River, the army stopped next to a mountain forest near the river.

The rear army left by Dian Wei had just joined Xu Zhen, and came to report that Dian Wei had led the army to Anhui County in advance, and the three passes on the front road had been captured, which could be used for Xu Zhen to garrison.

Hearing the news, Xu Zhen immediately marched again and chased Dian Wei away.

And Zhuge Liang heard the news of continuing the march, and he was already about to cry.

Recently, the horses have been galloping wildly, chasing the roads of the army, and basically they have not rested, and their feet are almost useless.

"Why, at such an age, I have to carry so many burdens!"

"Heavens!"

Xu Zhen personally took Zhao Yun and Xu Chu to investigate the nearby terrain, and sent a sentry to know the distance from the front to the pass, and immediately decided to march again.

"Kong Ming, catch up with the army first, and look at the situation of Dian Wei, it should be to take Anhui County directly."

"In the south of Lujiang and Anhui County, there must be enemy troops, he is so tired, once he takes Anhui County, he will definitely relax a little, otherwise it is impossible for the army to continue to fight when it is tired."

"It is absolutely impossible to rest, Dian Wei left soldiers and horses at the passes along the way, and after the immediate march, he replaced the troops stationed at the pass with the current cavalry, these soldiers and horses have rested, and their physical strength will be slightly replenished, so that they can continue to march to resist foreign enemies!"

Xu Zhen's face was serious, so that all the surrounding civil and military forces looked at each other, but he didn't dare to say anything, and even his heart was shocked.

After all, Xu Zhen doesn't rest.

Zhao Yun immediately sighed with emotion: "Junhou, Zilong must be with you, there is no need to rest, there are still about two days left on this road to catch up with General Dian Wei's cavalry." ”

"And the so-called foreign enemy is the Jiangdong Sun Bofu mentioned at the beginning."

"We march day and night, and we will surely catch up."

Xu Zhen and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and each other showed a smile of relief.

Zhao Yun is more admired, along the way, Xu Zhen has indeed been leading by example, and what he asked his soldiers to do is not difficult.

Xu Zhen is more demanding of himself, sleeping for less than two hours a day, and even most of the time he is always on the march.

Whenever he stopped to rest for a while, Xu Zhen would straighten his waist and patrol, personally lead the team to investigate the road ahead, and every time he went out ten miles away, he would turn back and lead the army.

In this way, it is equivalent to working harder than everyone else.

Zhao Yun was already cheering up to follow Xu Zhen in the next day, although he could advance and retreat with Xu Zhen, he was accompanied by everything he did, and he never stayed away.

But he found that he himself would feel tired, and there would be times when he was in a trance and slightly tired.

But Xu Zhen has always maintained his spirits.

There is no such person in the world, how can the more tired and excited he is? And every time I take a half-minute break, I smile as if I have gained something.

In fact, it is to use his words and deeds to inspire the soldiers under his command!

This charm is not admirable.

Zhao Yun suddenly realized that being so sincere and pure, taking the lead, and working tirelessly, I am afraid that it is easier to convince people than benevolence and righteousness, and Xu Zhen is also benevolent and righteous.

Not only in terms of Kuang Zheng's marching discipline, Xu Zhen's judgment of the situation is still very clear, which means that this fatigue has not made him sluggish and confused.

For example, changing troops at the passes along the way can allow the current soldiers and horses to rest, and replace them with the sergeants who are resting left by Dian Wei.

"Let's go! Brothers, hold on again, change troops and horses at the front pass and continue to move forward, catching up with Dian Wei! ”

Xu Zhen turned his head and shouted, turned over and continued to pat the horse, his eyes resolute and slightly smiling.

[The march is not five hundred miles! Self-discipline +100]

[Gain additional Commander +1]

[Command:86]

Equestrian Proficiency +2%

[Equestrian: Mastery (67%)]

[Self-discipline value: 6710]

Whether it is marching, patrolling the camp or surveying the terrain, you can get self-discipline points, not only that, but Xu Zhen is constantly consuming, triggering a continuous self-discipline task.

If he continues to exert his stamina and keep exercising every day, he will receive continuous rewards, and the progress is very smooth so far, and it will not be long before he can settle it.

Based on past experience, this is necessarily a completely new feature, and the more you pay, the more you can get!

"Heavenly Dao is like this, not to mention that I still have blessings!"

The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth rose, knowing that this was the best way to improve, not only to make himself more and more powerful, but also to improve all abilities, and indeed to rectify military discipline and improve the morale of the army.

Moreover, with the [Heroic] characteristic, it can make the soldiers and horses under his command continue to work together and raise morale! Of course, this battle is easier to win!

"Cangtian, Master is still smiling?"

When Zhuge Liang saw Xu Zhen's side face, his heart suddenly trembled, and he even felt a little afraid.

"The prince is like this," Xu Chu immediately got on the horse and laughed, squinting slightly at Xu Zhen's back riding the wind, only to feel that among the young people, the high-spirited people were nothing more than the same.

I am afraid that there is no such chic and wanton, dedicated prince in the world, and he has made achievements in all his martial arts, how can such an attitude not be fascinating, "Brothers, march again!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Let's go!! Go to the pass, chase General Dian Wei and rest! ”

"Or everybody! I'll go directly to Anhui County to garrison and rest! ”

"Go, go! Keep up with the prince! ”

Thousands of elite riders, cheering each other, the growth of snakes generally went around the mountains, this road is unimpeded, until the front out of the mountains and forests will not be ambushed.

These have already been investigated by Xu Zhen.

Less than two hours.

When the cavalry arrived at the Lujiang Pass, Xu Zhen quickly changed his troops and horses to follow and continued to move forward, although the people in the camp were still exclaiming that Xu Zhen was marching fast, so Xu Zhen could rest for a while.

However, several generals insisted and immediately changed their guards and horses, and at this time the cavalry of the camp followed and continued to move forward.

For a while, everyone's hearts were shocked.

Xu Zhen didn't rest all the way, and when he arrived here, he actually changed the guard, he just drank a few sips of water and ate some dry food.

Then he hurried to the next pass.

So three levels passed.

Xu Zhen led 3,000 cavalry from the guard battalion, while the eldest prince Cao Ang was still crossing the river halfway.

The difference between the two has become a matter of emotion in the army.

Among the garrisons, it is cited as a good story.

Xu Junhou led the soldiers to take the lead, and the generals in the army all admired him, even if he wanted to complain, he couldn't say it, because the generals in the army did not rest.

Always in the front, and his requirements for a sergeant are lighter than his own.

"Be strict with yourself and be lenient with others".

It has also become the evaluation of Xu Zhen by the major commanders and school officials in the army.

Under such an atmosphere, Xu Zhen's guard camp actually broke out with high morale when it was marching hard, and he moved forward in high spirits, chasing the Dian Wei army on horseback.

After two days.

arrived in front of the gate of Anhui County.

At this moment, Dian Wei had already led the crowd to attack Anhui County for a day and night, broke through the city gate, killed the guards in the city, and killed all the generals under Yuan Shu's command Liu Xun and Lu Kang's subordinates.

Immediately afterwards, the grain in the city pool was placed on the people to calm the people's hearts, and the Xu and Cao flags were planted on the city gates.

As soon as this flag was issued, the people knew that it was Cao Sikong's soldiers and horses who raided Anhui County, although the war disaster broke out suddenly, but the aftermath could calm the people's hearts, so they gradually stabilized.

When Xu Zhen arrived, he saw that the flag had been set up in the city, so he immediately sent someone to inform Dian Wei to repair the city gate, and then continued to go south, heading towards the border, and led people to investigate the nearby terrain.

At the same time, he ordered Xu Chu to take 2,000 soldiers and horses to the mountain road to defend, and he and Zhao Yun took the remaining more than 1,000 people, holding enough bows and arrows all the way to the ferry.

……

Evening.

A few building boats, plus more than a dozen ships, slowly emerged from the river.

There were not many open fires on the ship, there were ambushes everywhere on the deck, and on the high-rise ship in the middle, the soldiers and horses were closely stationed, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stood with their hands in hand, looking at the river bank that gradually became clear in the distance.

My heart suddenly settled.

"Sure enough, Lujiang is not defended, Gongjin is really powerful!"

Sun Ce was full of anger, and in terms of standing up his chest, a smile gradually appeared on his face, if he took the Lujiang River, it would be a cheap pick-up.

You must know that Yuan Shu is arrogant to the Han family, and he must take Lujiang first, when he left, Lu Kang was still too guarded, but at this time, the Lu family should have been suppressed by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu must have ordered his generals to send troops to garrison, but now he is attacking Xuzhou with the Seventh Route Army, and it is precisely when he wants to go all out and try to gain a firm foothold.

How can you have the heart to take care of the inconspicuous Lujiang outside the side sleeper.

"Hehehe!" Zhou Yu's eyes were sharp, looking at the calm of the riverbank in the distance, and his heart gradually became complacent, "Yuan Shu's attention is probably in Jingzhou and Xu Du Cao Cao." ”

"He didn't put Bo Fu in his eyes at all, although he wouldn't wait for Bo Fu to save him, but he wanted to open up the situation and invite Bo Fu to enter the game, Bo Fu thought that if Yuan Shu took Xuzhou at this time and took Lu Bu for his own use, he would have enough capital to oppose Xu Du."

"This year, when Cao Cao's soldiers and horses retreat, he can take the opportunity to collect cities from all over the country, and then loot the money of the scholars and merchants to fund the army, and then use his strength of 400,000 soldiers and horses to coerce Bofu."

"When the time comes, Bo Fu is a plan for life and death, can it still last for a long time?"

Jiangdong Shi clan, there will definitely be people who defect.

Zhou Yu didn't know anything else, but he knew them best, and he was under pressure to descend on Sun at this time.

In the future, when a new master comes, how can he run for a future without descending?!

The corners of Sun Ce's mouth rose, noncommittal.

But I'm afraid that if Yuan Shu wins, it will be like this, and he may have to be attached in the end, otherwise he will be defeated by Yuan Shu, and Jiangdong will not be peaceful, and there will be another disaster.

Yes, he must not be allowed to win.

"Hehehe, fortunately, now that we are on its side, we can hold high the Han flag and kill Yuan Shu by surprise!"

Zhou Yu made a generous statement, and his voice just fell.

Suddenly a row of torches flickered on the bank of the river, and almost the entire mountain forest was there, and near the bank, it was vaguely visible that the strong bow was aimed at them.

A large banner was erected from the woods.

"Koto Sun! Lujiang has entered the hands of the Cao family! Retreat! ”

"If you want to enter the city of Anhui, please send a messenger to talk! lest there be war in vain! The two armies were wounded by mistake!! ”

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were speechless for a moment, and when they said that they were halfway through, their momentum was immediately discharged.

Cao's!?

How so!?

Where does the Cao family still have the kung fu to come to Lujiang!

What a sentence about the accidental injury of the two armies!

At this moment, Zhou Yu's heart was on fire, and he immediately said: "Is this Yuan Shu's plan?!" Falsely claiming Cao Jun, but in fact, he is deceiving us to leave! ”

Sun Ce squinted, put his hands behind his back, and said with emotion: "Send a messenger to ask." ”

At this time, he really didn't want to fight with Cao Cao.
