Lu Su was sure that Jun Yu was not in danger because of Jun Yu's location.

Junchu is located in the north of Chaohu Lake and east of Hefei, and the northeast of the county is the corridor leading to Quanjiao and Fuling, which has certain topographical advantages.

If Li Shu quietly attacked Junxuan, he would have to go north to Liyang through Xiang'an, bypass the mountains east of Chaohu Lake and enter the north shore of Chaohu Lake, and perhaps further north to Fuling, such a long-distance supply line completely violated the law of using troops.

Lu Su couldn't analyze Li Shu's motives, and Long Xiang didn't know anything about long-distance soldiers.

In addition to asking Cao Xing to send more detectives, Long Xiang also informed Qin Yilu to let Jun Xuan strengthen defensive patrols.

On the second day, the water scouts of the cavalry battalion came again to report that the army of Xiang'an had crossed the Xushui River to the north, and had really gone in the direction of Liyang, and had escaped the surveillance of the sentinels.

Starting from the mouth of Chaohu Lake, there is a mountain range that extends diagonally to the northeast until the junction of Liyang and Fuling counties is interrupted, and it is inconvenient for Cao Xing's rangers to go over the mountains and mountains to track, so Li Shu's partial division has lost its surveillance.

Five days later, on the third day of the ninth month.

In the west and north of Hefei, there are two lines of soldiers and horses approaching Shishui, and their target is obviously Hefei.

The beacon sentinels immediately lit the fire to warn.

Originally, Long Xiang could defend the city, but at this time there were tens of thousands of people outside the city, and there was fertile land to feed the people in the city.

All of them withdrew into the city, and the loss of grain was too great, so Long Xiang decided to take the initiative to defend the crops and the people.

In addition to the cavalry battalion, which has a sentry mission, the left and right city defense battalions, tiger guard battalions, and craftsman battalions are all assembled.

After discussing with Lu Su and Liu Ye, Long Xiang decided to leave Feng Zhong's craftsman battalion to defend the city, and the remaining four battalions to go out of the city to meet the enemy, intending to push the battlefield out of Tuntian District.

Due to the rotational training of troops in the previous months, the assembly speed of the battalions at this time was extremely fast, and the whole army took less than half an hour in total.

Seeing Long Xiang wearing armor and carrying a gun, it seemed that he planned to fight in person.

Lu Su stepped forward and whispered: "Yunqi is the lord of Hefei, how can he personally get involved in danger?" It's better to stay in the city and sit in the town, and I and a few generals will go to break the enemy. ”

Long Xiang held the gun in front of his chest, shook his head and sighed: "I haven't been in battle to kill the enemy for a long time, I see that this gun is about to rust, although I am cautious, I am not afraid of death..."

"Haha, I can testify."

Zhang Fei's ears are very good, and when he heard it, he leaned over: "If Yunqi didn't have the guts, he wouldn't have been able to stop my snake spear at the beginning, and then we would fight side by side to see who killed more enemies?" ”33

"Heh... Okay..."

Long Xiang said this on the surface, but in his heart he didn't think so, there were more enemies with 10,000 enemies than killing enemies, wasn't it unpleasant to find himself?

Lu Su frowned and said: "I know that Yunqi has bravery, but after all, I am not good at battle, if you and I go out of the city to meet the enemy, who will preside over the overall situation in Hefei?" ”

"Uncle Zhong is fine." Long Xiang looked affirmative.

Lu Su reminded: "Feng Dudu is no problem, but this time the enemy came strangely, as if it had been agreed in advance, combined with the disappearance of Xiang'an's troops five days ago, I am worried that not only these two enemies, but also Lujiang's Li Shu will be involved, the situation will become troublesome, and someone will always be in charge of the overall situation..."

Long Xiang frowned when he heard this, and muttered: "Cao Dudu has someone deployed on the periphery of Shu County, as long as there is a military movement on the Lujiang side, we will soon..."

"General... General Dragon..."

Hao Meng's eager voice interrupted Long Xiang's contemplation, the city defense battalion where he was located had just completed the handover with Feng Zhong.

Long Xiang thought that Hao Meng was coming to report on the team, so he nodded and motioned for him to wait beside Xu Ding, but he didn't expect the other party to say something amazing.

"General, the lieutenant of Jun Qin County urgently reported that there are unknown enemy troops fifty miles to the northeast, the number is about four or five thousand, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the afternoon..."

Long Xiang and Lu Su looked at each other in shock, and said in unison: "It's the vanishing soldiers of Xiang'an!" ”

"I never expected that Li Shu was really one of the allies, and he was the first to send troops."

Lu Su swallowed.

Long Xiang's face was full of seriousness at this time, the hand holding the gun was clenched tighter, and there seemed to be fire in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "It seems that they have agreed on a date, Li Shu went around such a big circle to attack Jun Xuan, that is, we can't take care of each other, we should not have received Jun Xuan if we knew earlier, Qin Yilu only has four hundred county soldiers, and there is a tenfold difference in strength with Li Shu's partial division..."

Hao Meng nodded and agreed: "It is definitely impossible to defend it, even if you send troops to rescue it now, the distance is farther than the enemy..."

"Unless Qin Yilu withdraws his troops in advance, he will wait for the enemy to arrive and then retreat, but it is easy to be pursued by the enemy soldiers, which is a bit bad..."

Long Xiang wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his hand, and inadvertently glanced at Liu Ye.

"Qin Yilu is loyal, if he doesn't have your order, I'm afraid he will hold on to the city..."

When Liu Ye analyzed his beard, his solemn expression suddenly softened, and he stepped forward and asked, "General Long, if Jun Xuan can be saved, are you willing to send troops?" ”

Long Xiang hesitated for a while, Hefei can fight more than 4,000 soldiers, if now divide the troops to save Jun Xuan, then according to the northwest two roads of the enemy is afraid that it will not be able to stop, which is contrary to Lu Su's plan.

Seeing that Long Xiang was frowning and silent, Lu Su took the initiative to make a review.

"This matter is all blamed on my carelessness before, I didn't expect Li Shu to go against common sense to enter the army, otherwise the preparation in advance is not as passive as now, at this time, send fast horses to let Jun Xuan soldiers and civilians withdraw, it will definitely bring chaos to Hefei and affect the battle on Hefei's side, if you don't care about it... And it can have a huge impact on reputation..."

"What does Zijing mean, or do you want to save the soldiers?"

Although Long Xiang doesn't care about his reputation, the tens of thousands of people in Jun Yu can't give up, and the honest Qin Yilu can't live up to it.

Lu Su made a difficulty, and said after a while: "If you have time to deploy, it is best to divide a battalion of soldiers to defend, Li Shu's soldiers and horses will march around the road, and the military rations carried will inevitably be insufficient, once they can't quickly conquer the city, they will definitely withdraw their troops due to food shortages... The point is that it's a little too late now..."

"If the general wants to send rescue troops, I think that if the time comes, the speed of Li Shu's army will definitely not be fast."

Seeing Liu Ye holding his beard and his tone confident and firm, Lu Su couldn't help but ask, "How can you see it?" ”

Liu Ye showed three fingers: "Hefei west, north, Jun Yu northeast, about the alliance to invade my realm, although they set a date, but after all, these three roads are their masters, may not be able to do one heart and one mind, we can refer to the battle of Julu that year, if there is no Chu overlord brave and fearless, just rely on those princes who are watching from the wall, how can they defeat Zhang Han and Wang Li?" ”

Everyone has heard of Xiang Yu's name, but the details of the battle of Julu, Tang Yu, Hao Meng, and Xu Chu are not clear.

The main general Long Xiang also didn't know the details of the battle of Julu, but he knew the story of Xiang Yu's destruction of the cauldron and the princes watching from the wall, and he also vaguely understood Liu Ye's hint, that is, those allied troops had their own thoughts, and they might not sacrifice their lives to attack.

After listening to Liu Ye's words, Lu Su was overjoyed.

"If it weren't for Ziyang's reminder, I would have almost forgotten that they were all rabble, as for a fierce general like the overlord, I haven't heard of the second person in the history books;

Li Shu is not capable of controlling Xiang Yu's fierce general, his original master, Xiao Bawang, was assassinated not long ago, and Jun Yu can be saved..."

Some people died, but not completely......
