Xu Chu was not aiming at Xiahoudun, but at Qin Yi, who had resisted Chen Lan after the break, who had been to Hefei as an envoy and had most likely seen Xu Ding or Lei Xu.

If Qin Yi escapes from Zipeng Mountain alive, it is very likely that he will recognize Hao Meng or Lei Xu, and Long Xiang's plan to lead the water to the east will fail.

Hefei soldiers are outnumbered, and the generals who can take out their hands are in addition to the governor of the five battalions, leaving Hao Meng and Lei Xu, among which Xu Ding, Tang Yu and Qin Yi have drunk, Feng Zhong is responsible for Hefei New City and can't leave, so Hao Meng and Lei Xu are the main generals of the two ambushes.

As for why Cao Xuan and Xu Chu hid under the tree, it was also because the two of them were not suitable for battle, Cao Xing's blind Xiahou Dun's left eye was his mortal enemy, Xu Chu led the Tiger Guard Battalion to monitor Qin Yi's delegation back and forth, and the appearance characteristics in Hefei were very obvious.

Lu Su originally only planned to take Cao Xing on the expedition, he needed the cavalry battalion to provide him with information, and Xu Chu was specially sent by Long Xiang to protect Lu Su.

The two couldn't go into battle to fight, so they could only hide on the mountainside and let out cold arrows.

Cao Xing's arrow hit Xiahou Dun's shoulder, and Xu Chu's arrow hit Qin Yi's back.

At the moment when Qin Yi was struggling in pain, Chen Lan decisively swung his knife and cut him off the horse.

Faced with attacks from three sides, Cao Jun fled out of the valley in a panic.

After days of fatigue, I couldn't support it, and soon some people fell to the ground when there was chaos, and countless people were trampled to death.

Xiahoudun was escorted by his own soldiers and rampaged, they had horses to walk and were not as tired as ordinary soldiers, and soon rushed through the flow of people and galloped wildly towards the valley mouth.

The valley was relatively closed, with cries and fighting echoing around, and the desperate Cao Jun was physically and mentally exhausted, and fell down one after another.

In less than two hours, the valley gradually calmed down.

Xiahoudun led 8,000 soldiers out of Shouchun, and finally escaped from Zipeng Mountain with less than 800.

Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Hao Meng were directly beheaded by more than 3,000 people, except for more than 1,000 soldiers and some light and serious wounded, the rest were trampled to death.

Whether he was under Yuan Shu before, or later fell into the grass and became a thief, Chen Lan did not achieve such a big victory, so after the battle, he followed Lei Xu to see Lu Su, and his excitement could not be expressed to outsiders.

Seeing Lu Su's elegant appearance, Chen Lan couldn't help but praise after seeing the salute: "Mr. is like a god in using soldiers, I, Chen Lan, am really convinced, and I will definitely listen to your dispatch in the future." ”

Lu Su Zhengse reminded: "Although the battle of Zipeng Mountain was commanded by me, the whole plan was agreed between General Long and me, and General Chen had to listen to General Long's dispatch if he wanted to, don't forget that he is the lord of Hefei." ”

"Hey, hey." Chen Lan scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, and corrected: "I was too excited just now, and I will look forward to General Long in the future." ”

Lei Xu saw the stitches, hugged his fists and asked for instructions: "There are corpses everywhere in the valley, leaving a lot of armor and weapons, are we here to clean the battlefield, or General Chen."

Lu Su frowned and shook his head: "Immediately order the entire army of all departments to prepare to leave, and leave the loot and the corpse of Cao Jun in place, these are all General Chen's greeting gifts, and let him notify Sun Quan's people to receive them." ”

"Yui."

Seeing Lei Xu lead the order to leave, Chen Lan hugged her fists and asked, "Mr. Lu, what about me later."

Lu Su said: "General Chen continues to act according to the plan, you immediately escort the prisoners to Sun He, he let you stay in Lujiang and stay, but remember not to go to Jiangdong, just say that the soldiers miss the homeland of Huainan, I believe that Sun Quan will not treat the heroes lightly, and the specific details will be discussed with the people of Lei Yuanduan (Lei Xu)." ”

"I can save it." Chen Lan nodded.

The soldiers of Hefei were like traveling to Zipeng Mountain, and soon after completing the ambush, they went out of the valley from the direction of Xiahoudun's escape, and then went to Hefei along the north of Zipeng Mountain.

Cao Bing, who was escorted to the south, mistakenly thought that the army in the opposite direction was going to pursue Xiahoudun's men and horses, and said in his heart that most of you are two-legged, and it is impossible to catch up with General Xiahou.

With the might of a great victory, Chen Lan slowly marched to Shu County in the south with his captives, and sent envoys to Anhui County on the way to report the victory to Sun He.

Sun He was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that Chen Lan's name was so outrageous, and more than 10,000 thieves not only destroyed the Shouchun rice fields, but also almost wiped out the enemy in Zipeng Mountain.

If it was the same force, Sun He asked himself if he couldn't do it.

At this time, Huang Yi and Lu Meng had come to Lujiang with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and Sun He thought that Huang Yi was Yuan Shu's son-in-law, and perhaps he should know something about Chen Lan, so he summoned the two to Taishou Mansion to talk.

When Sun He finished talking about the battle situation in Zipeng Mountain, Huang Yi was immediately stunned, he didn't believe that this was something Chen Lan had done.

Seeing that Huang Yi frowned and said nothing, Sun He anxiously reminded: "General Huang"

"Eh" Huang Yi was woken up and thought about it, and hurriedly replied: "Chen Lan was unknown before, I really didn't know he was so capable."

"Could it be that Chen Lan lied about the military situation? Want to get more benefits? ”

Seeing Sun He pondering, the young general Lu Meng was also eager to express his views, at this time he was young and inexperienced and relatively immature, and Sun Quan sent him to accompany the army mainly for training.

Sun He was noncommittal, and after a while he analyzed: "It doesn't matter if it's fake, if Chen Lan is really so powerful, I am more worried, he led his troops to join Jiangdong this time, and it can't be properly handled It's not good for Jiangdong, and it will also affect the reputation of the lord."

Huang Yi is not a general who can recruit accustomed to war, Sun Quan sent him to Lujiang with a mission, seeing Sun He looking at him with a hint in his eyes, he understood and said: "I have met Chen Lan a few times, this time I am here for him, Taishou can reply to Chen Lan stationed outside Shu County, and Ziming and I will immediately lead troops to meet him." ”

"Very good." Sun He nodded happily, and encouraged Huang Yi: "General Huang and Ziming led the troops first, and I led the people of Lujiang to gather in the nest, if Chen Lan has the intention of plotting Lujiang, you will immediately retreat to Shu County for defense, and you can't afford to spend it if he comes from afar." ”

Huang Yi asked: "What if Chen Lan is sincere?" ”

Sun He replied: "Then welcome into Shu County and station, and I will report to the lord to take it and stay." ”

"I can save it."

Huang Yi motioned for Lu Meng to leave together.

Two days later, Huang Yi met Chen Lan in the north of Shu County.

Compared to the vague feeling under Yuan Shu's command, Huang Yi found that Chen Lan was very imposing at this time, especially after offering Qin Yi's head.

With Qin Yi's first-level evidence, as well as the hundreds of captured Cao soldiers, Zipengshan's victory became more and more real.

Just when Huang Yi was surprised, Chen Lan presented another gift, that is, Zipeng Mountain had not yet cleaned the battlefield, and he said that the soldiers under his command were too tired after the war to take those weapons and armor with them.

Huang Yi immediately looked at Chen Lan with admiration, he sent Lu Meng to Zipeng Mountain to clean up the battlefield, and on the other hand, he asked Chen Lan to lead the troops to Shu County to rest, and at the same time sent people to Juchao to report the good news to Sun He.

Sun He learned the news and rushed to Shucheng overnight to celebrate Chen Lan's achievements.

At the banquet, Sun He, on behalf of Sun Quan, welcomed Chen Lan and asked him to temporarily stay in Gongwei Lujiang, Shu County, and wait for Sun Quan's arrangement in the future, saying that he would definitely reuse Chen Lan.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Chen Lan stood up suddenly, holding a wine glass and said sonorously: "I heard that Wu Hou attacked Shouchun last year, but unfortunately it was a pity that he did not succeed, and now Xiahou is defeated and left, it is estimated that the defenders of Shouchun are only three or four thousand, why not suggest that Wu Hou transfer troops to attack it?" It will be decided by a battle. ”
