Liu Qi flooded Cao's army with water in the Baihe River, and when the news reached Chaisang, Zhou Yu immediately made a decision and prepared to send troops.

Sun Quan hesitated and said: "Although Cao's army was defeated, but the troops were not damaged, as long as the grain was transported from Xuchang again, and the troops could be prepared for war, it was too early to send troops at this time." ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Then if Zhuge Liang really has the talent that Pang Tong said, how can he ask Cao Thief to transport grain as he wishes?" Even if Zhuge is short of wisdom and Cao's army grain and grass arrive, it will take half a month to transfer troops, which is enough for me to take Huainan! ”

Sun Quan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "That being the case, Gong Jin led the Poyang Naval Army, attacked Xunyang to take the Lujiang River, and led the army by himself, attacked Chaohu Lake to take Shouchun, attacked from two ways, and killed Cao Jun by surprise." ”

During this time, Sun Quan often discussed military affairs with Zhou Yu, and he also had a good understanding of the situation in Jingzhou and the Central Plains.

Zhou Yu frowned and said: "The lord personally leads the troops, I'm afraid it will ......"

Sun Quan's face suddenly sank, and he said unhappily: "Gong Jin thinks that a certain person will not use soldiers? ”

Zhou Yu hugged his fists and said: "I don't have this intention, the main father-in-law is in danger of Jiangdong's safety, how can he be light?" It is better to sit in Jiangdong, dispatch the rear, and send Cheng Pu and Han Dang to the north. ”

Long before Sun Ce's assassination, he had asked Sun Quan to lead troops to attack Xuzhou, 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guangling, was frightened back by Chen Deng's suspicious tactics, and the Wu army trampled on each other and suffered countless casualties, so that Sun Ce had to personally go to Dantu to transfer troops, and unfortunately died.

Every time he thought of this, Zhou Yu felt a faint pain in his heart, if he changed any general, it might not lead to the current situation, where would he dare to let Sun Quan lead the troops?

Sun Quan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Dispatch the rear, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others are enough, since Gong Jin recommended Cheng Pu and Han Dang, I should use these two as deputy generals to wave my army to the north to strengthen the army." ”

Zhou Yu tactfully persuaded: "The lord has never led the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to suffer from the army......"

"I have made up my mind, Gongjin doesn't need to say much!" Sun Quan was displeased, looked in the direction of Jiangbei with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice: "Liu Qi can still block Cao Cao's 300,000 troops, and he can not take a small Shouchun?" ”

Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't persuade Sun Quan, so he had to hug his fists and said: "Zhang Liao was entrusted with a heavy task by Cao Cao, and he must have extraordinary skills. ”

"It's a deal!" Sun Quan nodded, immediately left Poyang Water Village, and rushed back to Jianye by boat.

The big boat travels in the river, with the wind and water, breaking the waves, Sun Quan stands on the bow of the boat, looking at the rivers and mountains on both sides, and his heart is surging.

Since he took over Jiangdong, Sun Quan has been busy settling the interior, and although the situation is stable, he knows that many people still compare him to his brother.

The heroic and brave Sun Quan of the little overlord is naturally difficult to look forward to, but he is secretly laughed at by people that he is just a conservative person who can't expand his territory, Sun Quan has been holding his breath in his heart, wanting to prove it to everyone.

This time, Cao Cao's army entered Nanyang, Huainan was empty, such a good opportunity, if you don't go into battle in person, when will you stay?

Looking at the ups and downs of Jiang Tao, Sun Quan said to himself: "Liu Qi can set Nanyang, and Lone can also take Huainan." ”

Now that Jiangdong has enough money and food, and the soldiers are brave, am I not as good as Liu Qi, who has just recovered from a serious illness and is in a hurry to fight?

After sending Sun Quan away, Zhou Yu looked at the river and stood for a long time before turning back to Chaisang and dispatching troops.

Although he was not worried about Sun Quan leading the army, after all, he was the lord of Jiangdong, and he urgently needed a big victory to establish his prestige.

The top priority is to speed up the trip, pacify the Lujiang River as quickly as possible, and go to meet Sun Quan.

Zhou Yu ordered the veteran Huang Gai to lead 3,000 recruits, set up large and small warships, and falsely flagged the flag, claiming to be 50,000 troops to kill Xiakou.

He led 50,000 elite soldiers, crossed Peng Lize overnight, entered from Xunyang Ferry, and came to Lujiang and Anhui City.

Huang Gai marched to Xiakou with great fanfare, the defenders of Lujiang were really deceived, and they were not prepared, and the Wu army crossed the river and marched to Anhui City, and the defenders found out.

Zhu Guang, the defender of Anhui City, was shocked, Sun Quan was still bowing to Cao Cao a month ago, the envoys came and went, the relationship was close, Sun Quan was also bent on attacking Jiangxia to take revenge, how could he suddenly see each other?

Wu soldiers approached the city, Zhu Guang did not dare to rush into battle, while reorganizing the troops and horses to defend the city, while sending people to Hefei for help.

Xu Sheng stepped forward to call for battle, Zhu Guang couldn't defend it, Ding Feng had to lead the troops to rush and kill, the arrows on the city rained down, and the defense was very tight, so he had to temporarily retreat and wait for the arrival of the baggage.

When Zhou Yu's soldiers arrived, Xu Sheng announced: "The defenders are well defended, and they must rush to build ladders and rush cars to break the city." ”

Lu Meng said: "Our light soldiers are coming by surprise, and the advantage is to fight quickly, how can we delay the time?" If the soldiers and horses of Hefei are alarmed and the reinforcements are killed, will it not be a waste of all the previous achievements? ”

Zhou Yu did not speak, and went to the city to watch in person, and saw that the defenders were standing still and defending, so he ordered to set up camp and be careful to deploy the defense.

The next day, the three generals Lü Meng, Xu Sheng, and Ding Feng were ordered to take turns to fight, shooting with bows and arrows, while the Wu army cut down trees, built ladders, and rushed carts to prepare for the siege.

Lu Meng was impatient and urged: "In this way, it will be difficult to break the city in ten days, it is better to take advantage of the vigor of the three armies and attack the city with all their might. ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Of course, this method can break the city, but the loss of troops and generals, we intend to Huainan, how can we consume troops here?" ”

Lü Meng had no choice but to wait patiently, and took turns with Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to scold and attack the city, and for two days without success, Wu Jun was a little slack.

On the third day, the siege equipment of the Wu army had been built a lot, and it was in the woods in the east of the city, piled up like a mountain, and the defenders could see it clearly, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and they were a little anxious.

In the evening, Zhou Yu suddenly summoned Dong Xian and secretly ordered him to go out of the camp overnight and act according to the plan.

Early the next morning, Lü Meng sent troops to attack the city as usual, and at this moment, suddenly the east of Anhui City was dusty, as if a large army had arrived.

Zhou Yu immediately withdrew his troops, and then the Wu army hurriedly pulled out the camp and retreated, and the siege equipment built was too late to take away.

Zhu Guang saw it really in the city, and the official road was dusty, and soon saw Cao Jun's banner appear, and said with great joy: "The reinforcements have arrived, follow me out of the city and burn those ladders." ”

Cao Jun poured out of the nest and came to burn those instruments, and just arrived at the edge of the forest, suddenly a drum sounded, and the ambush soldiers came out.

Zhu Guangqing knew the plan and hurriedly ordered to retreat, but the Wu army had already prepared, Xu Sheng on the left, Ding Feng on the right, and the two generals worked together to kill the Cao army.

When Zhu Guang hurriedly retreated, he was slashed by Xu Sheng under his horse, Cao Jun fled in a panic, and the two generals waved their troops to drive them away, and rushed to the city gate together with the defeated army.

There were only 1,000 defenders in the city, and they didn't know whether to release arrows in the chaos, and when they hesitated, the Wu army had already entered the city.

The Cao army at the east gate thought that the reinforcements were coming, and they were preparing to open the city to greet them, but when they approached, they were all stunned when they saw them wearing Wu army armor.

At the same time, the shouting of killing at the west gate was loud, the Wu army had taken the city gate, and the Cao soldiers saw that the general trend had gone, and fled from the north gate.

At noon, Zhou Yu came to Wancheng for the second time, and couldn't help but think that Sun Ce was here, dividing the big and small two Qiao into the two, and couldn't help but have a sour nose.

"Share the weal and woe, the beauty shares, you and I are both brothers and brothers-in-law, kiss and kiss, hahaha!"
