Cao Wu got enough information from You Song, came out of Fuchuan County, and the whole army prepared to continue southward, leaving only the steady Yu Ban with 3,000 people to guard Fuchuan to ensure the smooth flow of the follow-up grain route.

He had just taken a ride here, and Cao Aba, who was the best at cooking in Beifu, caught up with him.

Seeing that she was alone, Cao Wu asked, "What about Jiang Gongyan, didn't he come with you?" ”

Previously, they passed the news that Jiang Wan had agreed to be requisitioned by the Beifu as Cao Yuan, who was 600 stones, and it was said that with Jiang Wan's humble background, it was impossible to leave if he suddenly obtained such a high position.

Ah Ba knew Cao Wu's concerns, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang heard me say that the Northern Mansion was to be laid out in Jiaozhou, so he took people south one step in advance. Mr. Jiang asked me to apologize to the general, and when he made some achievements in Jiaozhou, I will see you again! ”

Cao Wufang was relieved, and at the same time thought that he was worthy of being the four prime ministers of Shuzhong in his previous life, and he was as famous as Dong Yun Feiyi, and after Zhuge Liang's death, he stabilized the pillars of Shuzhong, and as soon as he entered Beifu, he began to consider Beifu's plan.

At this time, Jiang Wan was just twenty, but this heart was already outstanding.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, who were in the same car as Cao Wu, heard this, and there was something strange in their eyes, and they felt that Cao Wuhui knew people, and a little-known little person could also play a role.

The army then went south, need to pass through Linhe, Fengyang two counties, to reach Guangxin, now he 20,000 people to the south, obviously the shadow of the full favor has not been seen, but still in the name of escorting the state pastor full of pet to take office.

Before, when they were in the mountains, the army could still hide, but now they could no longer hide along the river south, so Cao Wusui let the army no longer hide and accelerated the south.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, Cao Wu received a message from Jiang Wan.

The restaurant restaurant run by Ah Ba is a small business in Beifu, but the network is wide, Jiang Wan led people to the south to open a shop, Cangwu did not have a war, the restaurant opened very smoothly, just a few days of work, Jiang Wan heard important news, and sent it over according to the way agreed with Ah Ba.

Cao Wu opened the letterhead and only glanced at it, his brows furrowed and stretched.

He handed the letter to the three Diao Chan, and when they read it, their brows furrowed.

There are only three pieces of news, one of which is that there are indeed people who claim to be Jiaozhou pastors who have entered Cangwu County to govern Guangxin City, but they have disappeared since then.

The second is that there were large boats that once approached the boundary of Cangwu and then left, and according to fishermen, someone robbed their boat, which is suspected to be related to the arrival of large boats.

The third is that there is an army that secretly follows the coastline from east to west, without entering Cangwu, and goes straight to the four counties controlled by Shixie, because the people who saw this army are fishermen, and they do not have the ability to identify the number of troops, so they don't know how many people have left.

"It seems that Jiangdong really made a move, and the situation is so complicated."

Lu Xun sighed.

He had known that Jiangdong was interested in Jiaozhou, but he didn't expect that Jiangdong had already stretched out his hand while stabilizing the northern and western defense lines.

Zhuge Liang echoed: "Our army is only more than 20,000 when it is full, and if there are 10,000 people from Jiangdong, the situation will be uncertain." ”

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that with the current situation in the north, the focus of the attack is on Jiangdong itself, and now is the gap period for spring planting, and it is impossible for the north to send a large army to Jiaozhou beyond the sparsely populated four southern counties, and it is not easy to maintain the current grain and grass of 20,000 people.

But Jiangdong is different, Sun Quan's original focus was in the south, and it was easier to transport troops and grain.

Originally, Cao Wushi wanted to go straight to Jiaozhou during this interval, but now it seems that Jiangdong is not idle.

"It's okay, according to the intelligence, in fact, the Jiangdong Army marched along the coastline with the purpose of hiding traces, but this is Jiaozhou, there are many fishermen on the seaside, and there are many eyeliners, so he actually has nothing to hide. Why, then, did they suddenly go west? ”

Cao Wu analyzed.

As soon as he said it, Zhuge Liang understood what he meant.

"It's because the news of our march in Wuling has been exposed, so we will go west!"

"Yes!"

Cao Wuyang raised the letterhead in his hand: "The Jiangdong Army should have observed Guangxin's deployment and felt that it couldn't capture Guangxin before we appeared, so they simply shifted the target and went to the four counties controlled by Shixie!" ”

"But you can't take one county, how can you attack four counties?"

Diao Chan blurted out.

"Then I don't know, maybe there is a combination of inside and outside, maybe Shixie is interested in Jiangdong, in short, the Jiangdong army must think that it is easier to attack the four counties, so they will leave first."

After Cao Wu finished speaking, he said to Lu Xun again: "If Jiangdong Sun Quan wants to appoint a commander, who else will he choose besides Zhou Yu?" ”

Lu Xun thought for a while and said: "Except for Governor Zhou, there is only Governor Cheng, and it is unlikely that someone else will be the commander of a certain army." ”

Cao Wu nodded: "Cheng Pu will not be as cautious as Zhou Yu in using soldiers, in the face of Guangxin, how can he try to make a decision after fighting." But judging from the intelligence, the Jiangdong Army was hidden in the shadows before, and there was no force. Then, the leader must be Zhou Yu. ”

Although it was not written in the intelligence who came from Jiangdong, Cao Wu had an intuition that Sun Quan would most likely send Zhou Yu to come, and Cao Wu planted a seed of suspicion in Sun Quan's heart, but Zhou Yu's ability was here, and he still had to use it after all.

As soon as Zhou Yu's name came out, the atmosphere in the carriage was depressing, the battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu suddenly counterattacked when he was defeated, dug the river embankment, and almost wiped out Cao Cao's army, that kind of ruthlessness and grasp of the opportunity, everyone has experienced it, if it weren't for Cao Wu and Zhuge Liang in danger, Jingzhou would have been lost, and the current world is not in this situation.

"Kong Ming!"

Cao Wu suddenly shouted Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang looked up, and saw that Cao Wu's eyes were full of war intent.

"In the battle of Chibi, the outcome is uncertain. Today in Jiaozhou, how about we fight Zhou Yu again! ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes immediately lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Two days later, the army arrived in Linhe County, and the county ordered Wang and abandoned the city, and Linhe County was taken again without blood.

More than 20,000 people rested here for half a day, and Li Dian led 1,500 people to garrison Linhe, and the rest went south again.

Originally, Guiyang fierce general Chen Ying and others also wanted to find an errand, but Cao Wu was obviously more at ease with the five good generals, Li Dian died early in his previous life, and he did not become the five good generals, but his ability was not inferior to theirs, and he was stationed in the rear.

Another day, when he arrived at Fengyang County, Fengyang County still abandoned the city and left, and Cao Wu asked the school captain Biqiu Jian to take 1,500 people to guard here and continue to go south.

In the past few days, every day he sent someone to Guangxin to deliver a letter, telling Wu Ju that he was coming to ask for it, but so far, Wu Ju has not sent a reply, but judging from the performance of the county orders along the way, it is impossible for Wu Ju not to know the arrival of the army.

In the past few days, Jiang Wan's secret letters have also not been broken, most of them are some less important news, and only one has attracted Cao Wu's attention.

The news is very simple, except for the necessary defenders in Guangxin City, Cangwu County has not found out where the army is from beginning to end, and Jiang Wan even bribed many scholars to ask, but there is no answer.

When he got the news, Zhuge Liang also secretly went south, and Lu Xun, who stayed by Cao Wu's side, smiled: "It seems to be the same as we guessed." ”

Cao Wu lifted the curtain, and the city wall of Guangxin was already in sight.

He said, "Yes, Wu Ju should be going to do it." ”
