Chapter Seventy-Three: Cao's Movements

After his resignation, Wu envoy Hu Zong also continued to return to the north bank of Jiangxia along Zhangling County non-stop and asked to see Taishou Wenpin.

Hearing that the envoy had returned, Wen Ping also quickly smiled on his face, and greeted him at the city gate with his attendants, and greeted: "Sir, how is this trip?" Can you convince my Lord? ”

"Let's go into the city first."

Unexpectedly, Hu Zong was full of solemnity when he heard the news, and waved his hand in response: "General Wen, there is no need to enter the city, and I have to step up to cross the river south and go down to the public security to meet my lord and return to the details." ”

"The trip went quite smoothly, and it is expected that the general will receive the military order from the King of Wei in a short time."

As soon as he spoke, he picked up the appointment document in his sleeve.

Wen Ping took it and scanned it, and saw that the words "jade seal" were stamped on the payment, so he did not suspect that he handed it back again, and said with a smile:

"Since Mr. has already contributed to this, the general will gather Jiangxia soldiers and horses next, and as soon as the king's order arrives, he will send troops to cross the river south to attack the Jingzhou soldiers."

"Okay, General Wen's words will be relieved."

"We'll have a meeting later, and we'll retire."

After putting the paperwork again, Hu Zong bowed and retired.

set off and left, and with the protection of Cao Bing, he entered Xiashui from Hanjin safely and quickly returned to Gong'an City.

"Qi Wu Hou, Mr. Hu has returned to the city and is now seeing you outside the mansion."

In the military palace, Sun Quan, who was working at his desk, seemed to be covered with clouds on his face due to the unfavorable battle situation in the past few days, and when he heard this, a few points of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he even raised his head and waved his hand:

"Why don't you let Wei Ze come in and see me?"

"Yes,"

As soon as this order came out, the sword-wielding attendant quickly surrendered his hand and left, and after a while, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Hu Zong, who had been running north and south for several days, was tired at this time.

"Meet Wu Hou."

As soon as these words fell, I saw Sun Quan suddenly walking down slowly with excitement, holding his hands tightly and comfortingly:

"Wei Ze has worked hard this time."

Hearing this, Hu Zong's face was full of solemnity, and he responded solemnly: "It is Zong's honor to be able to share the worries of the Lord!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he quickly took out the documents in his sleeve and handed them over, "In summary, it has lived up to Marquis Wu's high expectations, and this has successfully persuaded King Wei." ”

Seeing this, Sun Quan couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, and hurriedly took the documents and checked them. ”

"This great task has been completed very well, and I want to reward you heavily."

"Give 500 gold, and reward more than 100 horses of cloth."

When Hu Zong heard the news, his expression was calm, and he quickly bowed and thanked, "Thank you Wu Hou for the reward." ”

With that, he retreated, Sun Quan slowly sat back on the throne with his palms tightly in his hands, and the anxiety that had faintly appeared before gradually relaxed between his eyebrows.

He was crowned a hussar general and served as the pastor of Jingzhou on a holiday.

"It seems that Cao Cao is more jealous of Guan Yu in his heart than Lonely!"

After pondering for a long time, Sun Quan said with a thick smile on his face.

Quan Cong, a partial general standing tall on one side, quickly echoed when he heard the news: "Yes, the previous Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and broke Cao's army, so Cao Cao almost moved the capital to Hebei to avoid the edge. ”

"From Cao Cao's point of view, he would rather our side occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou than see Guan Yunchang, who is brave and good at fighting and is quite threatening."

As soon as he said that, he paused, and his face also showed a big smile: "But this time, Wu Hou can take the fake festival to receive the Jingzhou pastor, which is also gratifying." ”

"Next, our capture of the counties of Jingzhou will be justified, and everyone expects it."

"This is reasonable~" When Sun Quan heard the news, he waved his hand and responded with a relaxed face: "Zihuang will then spread this document to all the counties of Jingzhou in the name of Lone. ”

"The last general commands."

After hearing this, Quan Cong's expression suddenly became solemn, and he gave up.

Immediately after, Sun Quan thought for a moment and then ordered:

"Zi Ming, who was stationed in Jinkou and Wulin Harbor on the north bank, was ordered to start arming from now on, and when Cao's army crossed the river to the south, he would launch a counterattack."

A command commanded quite aggressively.

Subsequently, there were attendants in the palace who passed on this military order.

When the military information was transmitted to the Jinkou camp, Lu Meng, who had been stuck with the situation on the south bank for many days and had no way to deal with it, received the military information sent by his own Wu Hou, and his expression suddenly changed greatly, and his face unconsciously boosted a few points of confidence.

"Spread this news to the three armies and boost the morale of the troops."

After a little groaning, Lu Meng ordered loudly.

Due to the repeated defeats, and hearing that Chaisang had been lost, the logistics support had been cut off, and the Jiangdong region was still being harassed by the Shanyue tribe, and their own side was unable to recapture the breakthrough, which had already made the generals and soldiers under his command have no heart to fight.

With the fact that Wu Hou had already sent people north to persuade Cao Cao to send a large army south to help, the military information spread throughout the battalions, and it did play a role in boosting morale.

The fighting spirit of the generals of the various units gradually began to recover a lot.

However, because LΓΌ Meng did not intend to conceal the news, the situation that Cao Bing wanted to go south soon spread to the waters of Xiakou.

Xiakou Water Village.

In the main account, at this time, the main general Huo Yi was staring at the map hanging between the screens with Guan Ping and Ma Liang, the military adviser, to discuss the military.

Suddenly, the scouts came to the tent one after another, under the protection of their attendants.

"General Qiqi Huo, according to what our ears and eyes have heard from the Jinkou waters downstream, Jiangdong sent people north to unite with the traitor Cao Cao, and the Cao army seems to have been regrouped and is about to attack south!"

"General Huo, according to the latest military information from the spies on the north bank of the Han River, the Ministry of Civil Employment, which has been entrenched on the north bank of Jiangxia in recent days, has suddenly gathered its troops in secret, and there has been a hidden big move."

"According to General Guan, who besieged Xiangyang north of Hanshui, sent a message that Cao's soldiers, who had withdrawn after relieving the siege of Fancheng, had entered Fancheng under the leadership of Cao Ren, Xu Huang and other generals, and were ready to wait for the opportunity to cross the river by boat."

A few words.

Several scouts truthfully gave the latest military information.

As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the military tent suddenly became unusual.

After groaning for a while, Guan Ping was full of anger, slapped his palm on the desk, and shouted angrily:

"This hateful Wen Ping, and he plans to gather his troops to attack the grain route in my rear and cut off logistics supplies?"

As soon as the words fell, he paused, and then said in a rather neutral voice:

"Previously, when the main forces of our army gathered under Fancheng, Wen Ping successively led his troops to attack our grain routes along the Han River, plundered the baggage hoarded in Hanjin, and burned the warships and siege equipment in Jingcheng, resulting in our lack of powerful siege weapons, and it was difficult to break the city."

"Otherwise, with the strength of our army's offensive battle, Cao Ren will definitely not be able to hold on to Xu Huang's reinforcements, and the city will already be broken."

As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping's expression changed, and he looked at Huo Yi with a solemn gaze:

"Shaoxian, Cao and Sun want to join forces to attack, do you have a way to deal with it?"
