Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"Needless to say, I understand, I understand everything!"

"So you understand?" Cao Cao's words made Xia Houlan murmur in her heart: "But we haven't figured it out yet, how did you understand it?"

Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Zhao Yun cupped his hands in admiration and said to Cao Cao, "Sir, he only sent someone to convey to us the news that the leading army came to support Xuchang. As for what he will do, we actually don't quite understand."

Cao Cao replied with a smile: "Mr. Lu's plan has been told to me through the shadow guard first. There are many people here, let's talk about it slowly after we go back."

"So that's it!" Zhao Yun and others suddenly said.

"The old man has prepared a reception banquet for you, Zilong, Ziheng, General Lu, let's go back and eat and chat!"

Besides, Zhu Ran and Dong Xi have been pretending to attack the city for two days, but there has been no sign of Cao Jun's reinforcements.

Even Zhu Ran couldn't help muttering: "What the hell is Cao Jun doing? Are they really so confident that Zhaoling can hold it?"

Unable to understand, Zhu Ran could only report his situation to Zhou Yu in the end.

Zhou Yu didn't expect that Zhaoling would be so vigilant. He summoned all the generals in the big tent to discuss whether he could send some more troops to take Zhaoling down by force.

However, some people think that it is impossible for Cao Jun to really ignore the situation in Runan County. Maybe Cao Cao or Lu Yan is gathering an army in a certain corner now, and they may rush out to surprise them at any time when Jiangdong Army has a flaw.

Once Zhou Yu allocated more troops, the Jiangdong Army's flaws would really appear.

If at this time, it is really attacked by Cao Jun, with Cao Jun's elite and equipment, Soochow may not be able to stop Cao Jun's attack.

At that time, not to mention Zhaoling's army, even Zhou Yu's main force will be in danger of being overthrown.

But for Zhou Yu, the more it drags on, the more complicated the situation will become, and the consequences will become extremely unpredictable.

Their plan has changed from a quick raid on Xuchang and the next best thing to occupying Runan.If he can't even occupy Runan now, will he lose Zhou Yu's prestige and face?
Zhou Yu thought over and over again, and decided that he must send troops to support Zhu Ran in taking down Zhaoling.

Seeing Zhou Yu's resolute attitude, the lieutenant general stopped persuading him.

In fact, Zhou Yu had no other choice.

If he doesn't send someone there, Zhu Ran's heart will definitely be chilled, and the delay in taking down Pingyu is already hurting morale. If he can't even take down Zhaoling, it will be a major blow to the morale of his own army. harm.

Zhou Yu looked at the bravest person of the younger generation, and called out, "Ling Tong!"

"The last general is here!" Ling Tong stepped forward immediately, clasping his fists.

"I order you to lead [-] soldiers to reinforce General Zhu, and you must take Zhaoling as soon as possible!"

Ling Tong cupped his fists and issued a military order: "If Zhaoling cannot be taken down within three days, the final general is willing to come and see you!"

"Don't underestimate the enemy, go!" Zhou Yu was very satisfied with Ling Tong's attitude.

"Here!"

Ling Tong took the order and left immediately, while Zhou Yu ordered again, "Command the whole army to continue attacking the city after they are full!"

After the generals left, Zhou Yu took up his pen and prepared to write a letter to Sun Quan.

While reporting on the difficulties I am currently encountering, I also want to ask Sun Quan how the battle against Hefei is going. If possible, it would be even better to send some more people over.
It's a pity that Zhou Yu is under a lot of pressure now, and Sun Quan's pressure is not small at all!

Hefei's city defense army is not weaker than Pingyu City, and there are [-] soldiers led by Xia Houdun watching from a distance, Sun Shiwan now feels that Yali Mountain is big.

However, compared to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, who still hold at least part of the initiative, Pang Tong's life in Danshui is really tormented.

Under the repeated attacks of Wei Yan, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan and others, the Jingzhou Army could barely cope.If it wasn't for Xinye's front line strategy that worked and defeated Le Jin's partial division, Jingbei's defense line might have been breached.

When Pang Tong felt that he was going to be unable to hold on any longer, Cao Jun's offensive suddenly slowed down.

Without careful investigation, Pang Tong knew that another plan of his had worked.

At this time, a talented military general recently promoted in Jingzhou handed over a secret letter and reported:

"Military division, report carefully, Jiangdong Sun Quan led [-] troops to surround Hefei and restrained Cao Jun in Huainan; Zhou Yu led another [-] troops, and now has occupied more than half of Runan, but he has been unable to take Pingyu City. "

Pang Tong took the secret letter, read it carefully twice, and then asked, "Zheng Fang, what do you think of the current situation of our coalition forces?"

The person called Zhengfang, surnamed Li, surnamed Yan, and styled Zhengfang, was the same Li Yan who fled to Yizhou to seek refuge after Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao in history.

Li Yan was a full-time official in the county when he was young, and he was famous for his talent very early. He is a person with clear advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, Li Yan is both civil and military, with strong political, military, and legal talents.On the other hand, Li Yan has an arrogant personality and low emotional intelligence. He is a person with a strong desire for power.

For such a person with low social attributes, Liu Biao's side must not be able to get along.

You must know that Liu Biao ruled from the Kuai family, Wu from the Cai family, and the eight great gentry clans are intertwined.If other literati or warriors with foreign surnames or even poor families can't curry favor with these aristocratic families, they can't get along well in Jingzhou.But Li Yan is not a person who can curry favor with others.
Fortunately, after Liu Biao's death, Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong began to vigorously promote young talents.

Li Yan, who was known for his talent but was only a magistrate of any county, was promoted and reused, and became a general in the army, gaining military power.

After being questioned by Pang Tong, Li Yan thought for a while before replying: "We still overestimated the strength of the Jiangdong army. Let alone Hefei Jiancheng, Pingyu in the district can block Zhou Yu's [-] troops. It seems that Jiangdong Zhou Lang is nothing more than that."

Pang Tong also sighed slightly, and said, "It's not Zhou Yu's fault, it's Jiangdong's lack of land training that caused the embarrassment."

"What the military adviser said is very true." Although Li Yan's emotional intelligence is not very high, he is basically a normal Fan Tao.

After a short pause, Li Yan continued: "Sneak attacking Xuchang is impossible. The Jiangdong Army's greatest hope at present is to occupy Runan, link up with his Lujiang River, and our Jingbei to form a new line of defense."

Li Yan's analysis was very pertinent, and Pang Tong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your analysis makes sense. It seems that our next strategy will start to adjust accordingly."

Li Yan faintly felt that his chance to lead an army alone had come, so he clasped his fists excitedly and said, "I am willing to obey the orders of the military advisor!"

Pang Tong looked at Li Yan, who was bowing and clasping his fists, slightly excited, and said to himself, "What a smart man!"
