Sun Quan was the plan to lead the trouble, and he wanted to involve Hefei in the Huainan War, so as to share the pressure on Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu originally didn't have confidence in Sun Quan, but after listening to Sun Quan's words, his heart was alive.

First of all, Hefei is of great strategic significance to Huainan, and Cao Cao can't control the Lujiang River if he can't take Hefei, because Long Xiang can attack the supply line at will; Secondly, Long Xiang is a thorn in Zhou Yu's heart, and there is no way to let him dangle in front of him, and it is in line with his heart to get rid of it with Cao Cao's hand.

"The lord's plan is very good, you can plan it well."

Zhou Yu first readily agreed, and then pinched his chin and said to himself: "Cao Cao and his generals have been fighting in the Central Plains all the year round, and the soldiers under his command should not be familiar with the Hefei generals. ”

"Now it depends on who is impersonating, who is more famous in Hefei, and the general who is worth impersonating."

Sun Quan looked at Huang Yi intentionally or unintentionally when he spoke, as if to say that you have stayed in Hefei for a long time, and you should have the most right to speak.

Huang Yi panicked and didn't know how to deal with it, Han Dang, who was opposite him, stepped forward and clenched his fists at this time and said: "Lord, Metropolitan Governor, if you want to say that there are famous people in Hefei, except for Long Xiang and Lu Su, only Xu Chu may be more famous."

"Xu Chu. Really."

While Sun Quan was talking to himself, Han Dang covered his chest that had been beaten by Xu Chu Feishi, and added: "The last general is all over the generals in the camp, and Dong Yuandai (Dong Xi) is very similar in appearance and appearance, so General Dong can act as Xu Chu." ”

"Yuan Dynasty?" Sun Quan looked at Dong Xi with a deep groan, and echoed Han Dang's affirmation: "Sure enough, there are some similarities, the most important thing is that the martial arts of the Yuan Dynasty are good, so you will pretend to be Xu Chu." ”

"Hmm" Dong Xi glanced at Zhou Yu quietly, and then bowed his head with his fists in a sonorous voice: "The last general will take the order." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and added: "One person in the Yuan Dynasty is weak, and he needs to send more people to respond, that Long Xiang is not well-known, and his age is about the same as Zilie (Chen Wu), so he wronged Zilie to pretend to be Long Xiang." ”

"Yes." Chen Wu came out in response.

Chen Wu's hometown and Zhou Yu are both Lujiang County, his Lujiang elite soldiers fight bravely, and are known as Lujiang Shangjia in Jiangdong, and they are one of the most capable troops under the command of Yuan Sun Ce.

Seeing that Dong Xi and Chen Wu were only looking forward to Zhou Yu, Sun Quan had an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

He thought that he couldn't leave Zhou Yu in Chaohu to command, so that no one would take him as the lord in his eyes, so he smiled and proposed to Zhou Yu: "Since someone is pretending to be Long Xiang and Xu Chu, I think Zijing is also looking for someone to pretend to be, is the metropolitan governor interested?" ”

"The lord wants me to pretend?"

Zhou Yu pointed at himself with a puzzled expression.

Sun Quan nodded affirmatively: "The Metropolitan Governor and Zijing are old friends, they have a deep understanding of their behavior, and they are almost the same in age, you will be able to mess with the truth if you pretend to be true, and the Yuan Dynasty and Zilie are feints, it is best to have a general in the middle to command, so as not to lose anything"

Seeing Zhou Yu frowning and thinking, Wu Jing echoed: "What Zhongmou said is very true, Gongjin can't shirk it." ”

"That's fine." Zhou Yu nodded in response, looked at Wu Jing and said solemnly: "The feint attack should be handed over to me, and the matter of intercepting grain and grass will be done."

"Gongjin rest assured, I have this matter."

"Hmm."

Sun Quan saw that the two generals had reached an agreement, and Wu Jing and Zhou Yu acted separately next, and they sat in Chaohu Lake in the center to command, and it was clear who was handsome and who was the general.

Jiang Dong began to play tricks, and his opponent Cao Cao did not sit still.

After Zhang Liao and Cao Chun won their first victory and the Jiangdong warships disappeared overnight, Cao Cao also quickly began to adjust his military deployment.

On the one hand, a large number of scouts were sent to investigate the whereabouts of Sun Quan's ships, and on the other hand, Xiang'an, Linhu, and Juchao soldiers and horses were transferred back to Shucheng, leaving only 10,000 people to besiege Anhui County without attacking.

This ensures that the forces are relatively concentrated, and the other side does not have the opportunity to break through individually.

Cao Cao's southward movement this time was not to conquer the city, but to eliminate the living forces in Jiangdong, so as to achieve the effect of no longer being able to pose a threat to the Central Plains in a short time.

In front of the thunderous capture of Xiang'an and other cities, in addition to putting pressure on Sun He in Anhui County, but also wanted to replenish some grain and grass for the Cao army, but unfortunately in a few years Lujiang County was in turmoil, and the people in these counties were sharply reduced by seventy percent compared with the Yuan Shu period.

After Cao's army broke the city, they dug three feet into the ground, but they did not scrape enough military food, and the main military food still had to be transported from Shouchun.

Cao Cao likes to cut off people's grain and grass with soldiers, and attaches more importance to the grain road than others, so while transferring Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other soldiers and horses back to Shu County, he also asked Shi Jian to go to Anhui County to exchange for Xiahou Yuan.

Anhui County is dispensable for Cao Cao, but the lifeline of the grain road must be taken care of by absolute henchmen.

Soon after Xiahou Yuan was transferred to protect the grain, he found many unknown cavalry between Lu'an and Chengde, which were obviously sentry agents of hostile forces.

Cao Cao learned that the grain road was being targeted, and was planning to send additional troops to defend it.

Guo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Ming Gong must not be like this, Sun Quan suffered a defeat in Xiang'an, hiding in the shadows and not daring to fight head-on, and now it is hard to show up, we can't plug the hole ourselves." ”

"Feng Xiao means" Cao Cao frowned and asked: "Will the plan be calculated?" ”

"Hmm"

Guo Jia was about to expand in detail, Cao Xiu hurriedly broke in, and reported with his fists: "Lord, a troop of soldiers and horses has come from the direction of Chaohu, which is less than ten miles away from Shucheng, Zhang Wenyuan, Xu Gongming and other generals have asked to attack." ”

Cao Cao frowned: "Sun Quan has been hiding for so long, he finally can't help it?" ”

"It's not." Cao Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It's not Jiangdong soldiers and horses, but Hefei Longxiang." ”

"What? Long Xiang? Cao Cao angrily slapped the case: "In order to win quickly, I deliberately avoided Hefei, and this guy took the initiative to find death?" ”

Cao Xiu saw that Cao Cao was angry, so he lowered his voice and asked: "There are 5,000 soldiers and horses on this road, I don't know which general the lord will send to meet it?" ”

"Pie"

"Bright and slow!" Guo Jia interrupted Cao Cao and reminded solemnly: "Long Xiang only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of Shucheng are far superior to him, and there is also the city as a barrier, the advantage is in our hands, so there is no need to send troops to meet it in such a hurry." ”

"What does this mean?"

Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia with a curious expression.

Guo Jia stroked his beard lightly and replied calmly: "These 5,000 soldiers came too suddenly, according to my superficial understanding of Long Xiang, this person acted extremely cautiously, almost never launched a war with the outside world, and has always treated the imperial court with false grievances, how could he recklessly lead the army to attack this time?" If Long Zhen has bad intentions, he should be allowed to move a distance more to Shu County, so that the battle area can be lengthened as much as possible, so that it is convenient for our soldiers to encircle. ”

"Good."

Cao Cao nodded happily, and then instructed Cao Xiu: "Order the whole army not to act rashly, just let the scouts keep exploring." ”

"Yui."

Cao Xiu hugged his fists and sang to lead the order.

An hour later, the sentinel sent back the message.

The 5,000 soldiers and horses of 'Long Xiang' suddenly stopped moving forward and issued a warning to the Cao army scouts in front, demanding that Cao Cao immediately return to Shouchun, otherwise he would help Jiangdong launch an attack on Cao's army.

"Huh"

Cao Cao laughed dumbly after listening to the report: "I have fought hundreds of battles since I started the army, and I have never seen such a child's threat, does Long Xiang want to laugh me to death?" Hahaha"
