In order to seek a quick victory and a quick return, Liu Xun dispatched more than 30,000 defenders of the Lujiang River to cross the river and attack Shangyi.

The generals from Shouchun, who had more than 100 troops, were all conscripted, and these generals were suppressed, and Liu Xun personally took command.

Hao Meng was lucky to have only a dozen followers, and he escaped by pretending to be sick, while Qin Yilu was left behind because of his loyalty.

Regarding Lujiang's stay, Liu Xun is no more than an outsider.

Before leaving, Liu Xun left more than 10,000 defenders for his wife and brother Cai Ji, and let him take full responsibility for the safety of the rear.

In mid-September, Liu Xun did not choose to take the best route in order to hide people's eyes, that is, to take a boat from the southeast to the mouth of the Yangtze River, then go up the Shuojiang River, and then enter Yuzhang from Peng Lize.

Liu Xun transferred the ship to the north of Peng Lize in advance to stand by, and then traveled 70 miles from the southwest of Anhui County to Peng Lize to board the ship.

Although he acted quickly and covertly, he was like a child's strategy in the eyes of those who cared about him, and Sun Ce was calculating him from the beginning.

At that time, Sun Ce garrisoned Shicheng (now Guichi County, Anhui), claiming to be ready to seek revenge for Huang Zu in the west, but he paid close attention to the movements of the Yangtze River.

Although Liu Xun was sneaky, he crossed the river with thousands of sails and a lot of momentum, and the military information reached the Shicheng camp as soon as possible, and Sun Ce immediately gathered generals to prepare for a sneak attack on Anhui County.

As soon as Sun Ce announced the plan to march into the army, Zhou Yu immediately reminded: "Bo Fu, why don't you divide your troops to stop Liu Xun's retreat? If Liu Xun's main force returns to the army, it will be unfavorable."

"According to the analysis of the number of boats on the river, Liu Xun left tens of thousands of defenders in Anhui County, and we only have more than 30,000 people in Shicheng, if we don't go all out, it will be extremely difficult to succeed, and I also fought for a long time back then..." Sun Ce remembered the past of Lujiang with a serious face.

Zhou Yu admonished: "In order to win quickly, Liu Xun must draw the elite of Lujiang, and the remaining defenders are not to be afraid.

Sun Ce snorted coldly: "Liu Xun doesn't have a city to rely on, I have 30,000 of 30,000, what are you afraid of?

Besides, Liu Xun's back and forth, let alone ten months and months, I must have conquered Anhui County by then."

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, and then put forward a bold hypothesis.

"Liu Xun has a lot of soldiers, if he gives up Anhui County and turns to Wu County by water, it will be dangerous, and there will be no 10,000 defenders behind Wu County..."

"Changing homes? Does Liu Xun have the guts?" Sun Ce's brows furrowed.

Zhou Yu said with a straight face: "It's best to rule out all possibilities, even if we fight slower in Anhui City, we must trap Liu Xun in the sea dusk."

Sun Ce stroked his beard, hesitated and muttered to himself: "The most taboo division of troops is when there are few soldiers, if there are fewer soldiers, we can't stop it, and if we divide too much, we won't be able to attack the city enough..."

Zhou Yu pointed to the map on the case and analyzed: "If there are few soldiers, you can't fight in the wild, the lord can send people to seize Pengze County, and defend the village at Peng Lize Shuikou, as long as Liu Xun is locked up in Yuzhang, and then turn around and join forces to attack it when Anhui County is broken."

"Good."

Sun Ce affirmed it, waved his hand and began to point: "Boyang (Sun Ben), Guoyi (Sun Fu), I and my two brothers have 8,000 soldiers, and immediately go to Pengze to intercept Liu Xun according to Gongjin's wishes."

"Yui."

Sun Ben and Sun Fu hugged their fists to receive the order, and Sun Ce then gave orders.

"Ziyi."

"The end will be."

"Liu Xun will take Zhang Xun, Ji Ling and other generals with him this time, and Ziyi (Tai Shici) will go with the two brothers, if you encounter a vicious fight, you will have to rely on you."

"Rest assured, my lord, Ci will do his best."

"Very good."

Sun Ce was worried that Sun Ben and Sun Fu would not be able to defeat Yuan Shu's generals, so he sent the newly surrendered Tai Shici, and he and Zhou Yu took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals to lead an army of more than 20,000 people to Anhui County.

At this time, Cai Ji, the guard of Anhui County, was like a carrot in the gentle township and couldn't extricate himself, he was very depressed that he had not been able to get the second bridge before, not only instigated Liu Xun to attack Hefei, but also targeted Yuan Shu's widow and concubine.

When Liu Xun was in Anhui County, Cai Ji didn't dare to be blatant, so he could only secretly bring Yuan Shu's women home, and they were all nameless palace maids and maids.

Liu Xun left the city like a tiger leaving the mountain, Cai Ji, a monkey, became the king, he lived directly in the mansion of Yuan Shu's concubine, and indulged in wine all day long

Manage military affairs.

Liu Ye took advantage of this opportunity to transfer his clansmen out of the city in batches, and according to the requirements of Lu Su's letter, he took hundreds of craftsmen along the way.

Seventy or eighty thousand people moved in the previous Shouchun, and there were five or six thousand craftsmen of all kinds, but they were not placed very properly, after all, Hao Meng, who had the title of Marquis of the Pavilion, was not well treated, let alone the craftsmen who served the royal family.

There is no royal palace in Anhui County, let alone the need for large-scale construction, and the craftsmen in the city are already saturated.

Hefei promised to have food and work, and Liu Ye contacted five or six hundred people without bothering.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to leave Anhui County as soon as possible, he could have contacted more craftsmen.

These craftsmen have a friendship with each other, some of them left a message before leaving, those who don't want to run are willing to stay in Anhui County to starve, and those who want to live a good life secretly go out of the city.

In less than three days, the population of Anhui City has outflowed more than 3,000 people.

Due to the large number of people in Lujiang County, the financial pressure is high, and the people leaving can reduce the expenditure of money and food, and Cai Ji, who stayed behind, did not care about it, so the people below did not report it in time.

Until Sun Ce led the army to press the border, Yuan Yin and others fled disguised as craftsmen, Cai Ji finally crawled out of the beauty nest, and more than ten days of indulgence made him yellow and thin, and his eyes were deep.

Cai Ji hurriedly ordered the gate of Anhui County to be closed, and the battalions were transferred to the city wall to defend against the enemy, but unfortunately, these people were as Zhou Yu expected, and Liu Xun picked the remaining old and weak soldiers.

And because of the lack of defense during this time, Anhui County was quickly attacked by Sun Ce, and Cai Ji and Liu Xun's families were trapped.

Cai Ji was tied up in the camp to ask for the crime, Sun Ce had already learned his deeds from the captives, and when he saw the withered "drug-addicted" face, he immediately felt a trace of disgust in his heart.

"General Sun, I am willing to surrender, I only want to spare my life."

Seeing that Cai Ji was as timid as a mouse, Sun Ce said disdainfully: "I heard that General Cai is in good health, and he has played all the concubines of Yuan Shu, I don't have so many women in Jiangdong to show you, if you want to live, give me a suitable reason."

"Ahh

As soon as Cai Ji heard that Sun Ce had murderous intentions, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to explain: "The general spares his life, although I am a little anxious, but in order to take care of my brother-in-law's face, I didn't dare to touch Yuan Shu's wife and daughter, only some concubines who have no name, if the general is intentional..."

"When I came for a woman? Huh?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up.

Cai Ji was so frightened that he wanted to slap his face, but his hands were tied behind him, so he could only knock down heavily, and said with tears in his eyes: "I... I didn't mean that, I just begged the general to spare my life and ask me to do it... You can do anything..."

Sun Ce was disgusted by Cai Ji's humility and was about to order his execution, when suddenly Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped into the tent, leaned over him and whispered a few words.

Sun Ce's face changed, and he hurriedly looked at Cai Ji and asked, "What about Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao, Huang Yi and the others?"

"It's all in the west side of the city, I can take the general to find them..."

Cai Ji was stunned at first, and immediately recommended himself as a guide.

"There is no one in the Chengxi Courtyard at all, if General Cai really wants to live, he will honestly tell me where he is hiding..."

Sun Ce looked at Cai Ji with a gloomy face, he had captured many Yuan Shu's officials after breaking the city, and he needed to use Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao and other Yuan clans to recover these people.

"I... I didn't..."

Cai Ji was rambling to explain, but was interrupted by Jiang Qin, who suddenly broke in.

Jiang Qin clenched his fists and said, "Lord, the whereabouts of Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao have been found."
