Huang Yi looked dazed and asked stupidly: "Cao Cao? Pro-rate? What do you mean? ”

Chen Lan held the horse's neck, leaned over and smiled coldly at Huang Yi: "What else can you mean?" You don't know how Cao Cao used his troops? Huang Juma didn't forget how Yuan Shu was defeated in Kuangting? How did Chen Guo flee in embarrassment? ”

"He" Huang Yi swallowed his saliva: "Didn't he go to a decisive battle with Yuan Shao?" How did you run to Huainan?"

"God knows"

Chen Lan shook her head slightly, and said: "The horse has to wait for Wu Hou to wait, I can't wait, I heard that in Chen State, if Yuan Shu didn't run fast, maybe he would have been caught up by Cao Cao, thinking that tens of thousands of people were besieged in Qi County, I had to set off immediately." ”

Huang Yi was at a loss: "No. Where is General Chen going? Didn't you defeat Xiahoudun? ”

"Xiahoudun is known as a defeated general, can the blind man compare with Cao Cao? In short, I'll avoid it first, and then say, if Wu Hou can defeat Cao Thief, I'll come back to help the fist, but" Chen Lan's words came to an abrupt end at the end.

Huang Yi asked, "But what?" ”

Chen Lan had a bitter face: "I heard that the elite of Jiangdong are all under the command of the Metropolitan Governor, and almost all the soldiers led by Wu Hou are the old Yuan Shu department, so I have no confidence at all."

"Ahh

Just as Huang Yi was speechless, Chen Lan continued to add: "I and my generals are sincerely committed to Jiangdong, but I don't want to die in the hands of Cao Jun so soon, I am tired of apologizing to Wu Hou for me, I want to find a place to temporarily avoid the edge." ”

"What does the general want?"

"The direction of Anhui County is not daring to go, Cao Jun from Zipeng Mountain south, the first to bear the brunt of Shu County, Juchao, Anhui County, I persuade Huang Juma to leave here early, I have no boat to cross the river at this time, I can only walk in the northeast direction, relying on Zhou Dudu to get closer to the safety point."

"General Chen is going to Guangling?"

Huang Yi suddenly realized, and then made a suggestion: "The general has no boat to replace the foot, this long journey is quite hard, it is better to follow me to Xiang'an and wait for a while, Wu Hou's warship should arrive soon." ”

"My Huang Da Concubine, if you really wait for Wu Hou's army in Xiang'an, will these brothers get out at that time? Don't hurt me, farewell! ”

Chen Lan held the reins and clenched her fists, then abandoned Huang Yi and ran away, and soon took tens of thousands of people under her command to the direction of Chaohu Lake in the northeast.

Huang Yi also panicked at this time, the pressure brought by Cao Cao was too strong, he should have sent someone to warn Sun He, but because he was too anxious to forget, Sun He finally had no time to retreat, and was finally besieged by Cao's army in Anhui County.

Less than half a day after Chen Lan and Huang Yi left Shu County, Cao Cao led his army across Zipeng Mountain to the border of the Lujiang River.

The south of the Lujiang River is located in the valley of the two mountain ranges, several large cities are like the Yangtze River, which are located in the valley corridor in the southwest and northeast direction, and are Anhui County, Juchao, Shu County, Linhu and Xiang'an five counties in turn, and Sun River is stationed in the southwesternmost Anhui County at this time.

Due to the evacuation of Chen Lan and Huang Yi one after another, Cao Cao occupied Shu County without much effort.

At the suggestion of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Cao Cao also sent Zhang Liao and Cao Chun to take Xiang'an, Gao Ran and Shi Jian to take Linhu, Xu Huang and Han Hao to take the nest, uproot all the strongholds outside the Sun River, and then use Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Xiu to surround the Sun River in Anhui County.

Cao Cao's tactics in this battle have only one word: speed.

In addition to the many soldiers in Anhui County, the three counties of Xiang'an, Linhu and Juchao fell in less than half a day, especially Xiang'an, where Huang Yi had stayed, lost the fastest.

Huang Yi had just arrived in Xiang'an after Chen Lan, and was about to find the county magistrate to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, but he received an early warning from the rangers as soon as he entered the city.

An army of about 3,000 people went straight to Xiang'an County under the banner of Cao and Zhang.

As soon as he heard Cao Ziqi, Huang Yi was almost scared.

As soon as Huang Yi arrived at the county office, he didn't care about drinking a sip of water, and immediately took his entourage to seize the door.

The defenders of Xiang'an were only a few hundred people, and after thinking for a while, Xiang'an Chang also followed Huang Yi to abandon the city and flee, and Zhang Liao and Cao Chun occupied an empty city.

The county seat of Xiang'an is dozens of miles away from the mouth of the water, and Huang Yi and the defenders of Xiang'an went all the way to the east and crossed to the east bank of the water before they camped and rested, and erected a flag by the river to warn.

By noon on the second day, hundreds of warships slowly sailed towards the mouth of the water, and saw the red flag of Jiangbei in the distance.

The scout who watched reported the news in time, and Sun Quan immediately called Wu Jing to the deck to check.

"Uncle, what kind of flag is this?"

Wu Jing shook his head lightly: "I have been marching for so many years, and I have never seen such a strange flag, but I can go to investigate by speedboat, and there is a water mouth not far in front, maybe Bohai (Sun He) sent someone to greet me." ”

"It's fine."

Sun Quan bowed slightly, and then called the young general Lu Meng and asked him to take the boat to investigate.

Lu Meng left the big boat and walked away, ordered someone to quickly swing the oar upstream, and went straight to the place where the red flag was shaking in Jiangbei and leaned over, only to find that it was Huang Yi when he got to the shore.

Huang Yi couldn't wait for Sun Quan to land, so he hurriedly followed Lu Meng to see Sun Quan, he had already told Lu Meng on the way, and went to the deck again like Xianglin's sister-in-law, telling Chen Lan to Guangling and Cao Cao to go to Lujiang in person.

Sun Quan was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, he had thought that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Half an hour ago, Sun Quan was still discussing with the mastermind Qin Song, guessing where Cao Cao was marching north at this time.

I didn't expect to say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was in front of me.

Perhaps Cao Cao gave people too much pressure, and when Huang Yi finished narrating, he was quiet on the deck, only hearing the sound of the warship breaking against the current.

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull and speechless, Lu Mian, the old general of Yuan Shu, scolded: "Chen Lan, this horseman, I thought he had made progress, but he was still so unreliable, and he ran away without seeing Cao Cao's soldiers."

Huang Yi glanced at Sun Quan and said meaningfully: "Actually, what General Chen said is not bad, Cao Mengde has a very high level of military use, and his maternal uncle (Yuan Shu) has been defeated many times in the past. That's why he's running so fast."

"Chen Lan is so afraid of Cao, but she has caused us to work hard and mobilize the people, and I expect him so much."

Sun Quan half-squinted his eyes, although he talked about Chen Lan and Cao Cao, but in his heart he hated him for believing in Zhou Yu and not believing in himself.

You horseman, don't you know who is the lord of Jiangdong? Wait until after the war to see how I play you to death.

Seeing that Sun Quan didn't say anything, Lu Mian hurriedly clenched his fists and stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Since Cao Cao has appeared in Huainan, the attack on Shouchun will come to naught, I don't know what the lord plans now, whether to continue to move forward or return."

Before Lu Mian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Jing waving his hand: "Return to what?" Even Xiang'an has Cao Bing appeared, I am afraid that there is a problem in the entire Lujiang, Zhongmou, we have to find a way to support Anhui County, otherwise Bohai (Sun He) is in danger. ”

Sun Quan bowed slightly: "Uncle has rich combat experience, you can get an idea for me on how to support Anhui County." ”

"Hmm" Wu Jing thought for a while, pointed in the direction of Xiang'an and said: "According to the current situation, I don't know how many soldiers Cao Cao came, but Xiang'an's army is only 3,000 people, so you can use them to test the strength of Cao's army first." ”
