Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 654 Breaking the grain road, we are good at this

Huainan County, Hefei.

Sun Quan has been besieging Hefei for more than two months, but every time he sieges the city, he hardly makes an inch except for throwing down a thousand or two thousand corpses.

However, Sun Quan is not in a hurry, because his current task is not to capture Hefei, but to keep the Hefei defenders and Shou Chunxia Hou Dun in check.

Sun Quan received news from Zhou Yu today.

Sun Quan was very unhappy about Zhou Yu's delay in taking Pingyu County, and the capture of his confidant generals Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, and Dong Xi.

But Zhou Yu was the commander he relied on the most, and Zhou Yu had a high prestige in the army, and it was not easy for Sun Quan to directly lose his temper with Zhou Yu.

However, before Sun Quan could vent his anger towards Zhou Yu, another news came to him like a bolt from the blue!

The messenger sent by Han Dang arrived.

The messenger went straight in a light boat all the way, and soon arrived at Chaohu Lake in Hefei through the Yuxi River waterway.

When he heard that more than a hundred warships of Cao Jun that could carry a thousand men appeared in the Yangtze River and easily defeated Han Dang's navy, Sun Quan was shocked first, then calmed down quickly, and said to the guards around him Said: "Hurry up, call all the generals to come and discuss the matter quickly!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the atmosphere was a little tense.

Sun Quan inspected the generals in the big tent, and said, "Everyone, General Han Dang has an urgent message. It is said that Hussar General Lu Yan has led a hundred ships and a hundred thousand sailors to invade the Yangtze River basin in the east of our country!"

Sun Quan's news is still very shocking.

"Lu Yan is really here?!" Huang Gai was also surprised when he heard the words, and said: "Isn't his navy in the Yellow River, and how did he come to the Yangtze River? Could it be true that he came from the sea???"

At this time, someone else said: "But it is also possible that the water came from Xuzhou."

Everyone discussed Cao Jun's navy one by one, and finally reached a consensus: Cao Jun's navy should be launched from Xuzhou.Because it is difficult for the current warships of the Jiangdong Navy to sail in the sea for a long time, it is even more impossible for the warships of the Cao Jun Navy.

But the question now is not where Cao Jun's navy came from, but what they will do to Jiangdong.

Now Jiangdong's troops are all in Huainan and Runan, Jiangdong itself is like a completely defenseless beauty facing a group of rude and hungry men
Sun Quan looked at his most important think tank and asked, "Zijing, what do you think we should do now?"

Lu Su had already thought about it. After hearing Sun Quan's question, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, according to my subordinates, although Lu Yan's navy is huge, they dare not really attack our homeland."

Sun Quan leaned forward and asked, "What is the basis?" Obviously he was very concerned about this.

Lu Su continued: "It's very simple. Although Lu Yan's navy is full of people, it only has 10 people. If you want to capture Jiangdong with only 10 people, it is tantamount to a dream!"

It's not that Sun Quan doesn't know this truth, it's just that if he cares about it, he will be chaotic.

Lu Su's words were tantamount to reassuring Sun Quan.

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Then what should we do now, don't we care about them?"

When Lu Su heard the words, he shook his head seriously and said, "No, my lord. My subordinates suggest that we withdraw immediately!"

"What? Withdraw the troops?" Huang Gai looked at Lu Su in disbelief, and asked, "Zijing, do you know how many soldiers' lives we have already paid and how much food and grass we have consumed? Once we withdraw, wouldn't it be all Has all previous efforts been wasted??"

"That's right! And the governor is about to capture Runan soon. We can turn around and deal with Cao Jun's navy after we gain a firm foothold!"

"Lu Yan only defeated General Han by relying on his large number of ships. As long as the main force of our navy comes back to help, Cao Jun's navy will be destroyed!"

Lu Su's words aroused a wave of opposition, and even Sun Quan felt that Lu Su was making too much of a fuss.

"Zijing, since we have no worries in our homeland, why take the huge risk of hastily withdrawing our troops?"

Lu Su waited until the voices of the people in the hall died down, and then he replied: "My lord, when we first captured Lujiang County, there was no one in the city, and there were no grains left. Our current army rations are all relying on Wuhu, It needs to be transported by a line of water at Ruokou.

Now that Lu Yan is here, with his strategic vision, he will definitely control this line of waterways and cut off our army's supply line.May I ask everyone, in the absence of food, which soldier can continue to fight? "

Lu Su's words made everyone fall into silence.

Yes, food!

Hijacking the grain road is the fine tradition of Cao Jun!

Back then, whether it was defeating Yuan Shu, or defeating Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Jun's interception of food and roads was called flying.

Wei Yan's hundreds of cavalry intercepted Ji Ling's army for a few days without food and without a fight; Gan Ning burned Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass on the eve of Guandu, forcing Yuan Shao to be left with Wuchao's last grain storage area.In the end, Cao Cao and Lu Yan came to attack Wuchao at night, and directly burned Yuan Shao's underwear.

"Jianliang Dao is really a headache!" Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

But asking him to withdraw his army and give up Runan, which he was about to acquire, made him extremely unwilling!

After weighing it over and over again, Sun Quan thought of a compromise and said, "How about...listen to what Gongjin has to say first?"

Now that Sun Quan had said so, Lu Su no longer insisted, and replied: "Let the Lord arrange it."

After Zhao Yun's reinforcements arrived, Pingyu City survived another day without any danger.

The arrows of the Dragoon Army had been exhausted, and they also began to try hand-to-hand combat.But only the next day, after adapting to the threat behind him, the Jiangdong Army intensified their attack on the city.

However, seeing that the city was about to be broken, Sun Quan's messenger brought a piece of news that made Zhou Yu almost lose his composure and go berserk!

"Lu Yan led an army of [-] sailors into the Yangtze River. General Han Dang fought with him and returned in a complete defeat!"

After hearing the messenger's report, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Lu Meng and others were all silent.

"It's too bad! Lu Yan's navy will definitely cut off our army's food supply. What can we do?" Veteran Cheng Pu asked, seeing the pain at a glance, and looking at Zhou Yu full of worry.

Zhou Yu's face trembled and twisted uncontrollably.

He spent so much effort and sacrificed so many soldiers and generals. Seeing that the city was about to be broken, he was cut off by Lu Yan's magical soldiers from the sky.

"Lu Yan. Lu Yan!!!" Zhou Yu's voice was almost squeezed out of his throat, full of hatred and unwillingness!
"Send me an order to quickly withdraw troops and return to Hefei!"

"Withdraw the troops?! Commander-in-Chief, no!"

"Governor, we will be able to take Runan soon!"

"Withdrawing the troops now, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted!"

Zhou Yu stood up abruptly, and said with grief and indignation in his eyes: "You think I want to withdraw? Let me tell you, if Lu Yan cuts off the grain road, we can still rely on the grain and grass in Runan for a while, but it won't be half a month, my lord." The army will run out of food and grass!

If the lord is defeated at that time, we will be trapped in Runan alone. Do you all want to bury your bones in a foreign land? "

"Alas!!!" Everyone felt unwilling but could not refute.

Veteran Cheng Pu finally said helplessly: "Gongjin's worries are correct, let's withdraw!"
