Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

After receiving Zhou Yu's reply, Sun Quan pinched his knuckles until they turned white.

Originally, he took some luck and hoped that Zhou Yu, who had always been tough with the outside world, would give him encouragement and encourage them to continue to attack.

But when Sun Quan never expected, this time Zhou Yu replied very simply: Wait for me to come back, and retreat together!

Zhou Yu's reply means that the Northern Expedition has almost failed.Tens of thousands of soldiers died in vain, and hundreds of thousands of food and grass were wasted in vain. It may take two to three years for Jiangdong to recover, and by then, Cao Cao's army is probably under pressure.

But if they don't withdraw, once the 10,000+ army is cut off by Cao Jun's navy and has no food, maybe they will all have to play by then, and it won't be able to slow down in two or three years.

Sun Quan squeezed Zhou Yu's reply letter, and asked Lu Meng who sent the letter extremely unwillingly: "Ziming, can't we send some naval forces to destroy Lu Yan first, or take a step back and keep the food road unblocked?" ?”

Lu Meng was actually not reconciled, but judging from the current information,

"According to General Han's news and detailed information, Lu Yan's navy is all big ships, and equipped with a very strange and powerful weapon.

If our army sends fewer sailors, it will only be Lu Yan's contribution; if it sends more, Hefei will definitely be raided, and there may be a rout. "

Sun Quan fell silent when he heard the words.

Lu Meng's words are very reasonable, but Sun Quan is really not reconciled.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside. It turned out that another messenger came to report.
"Report! Report! My lord! A letter from Chang Shi, please return to the teacher immediately for reinforcements!" After the messenger finished speaking, he presented the urgent letter with wax paint with both hands.

Lu Meng took the letter and strode forward to hand it to Sun Quan.

After Sun Quan opened the envelope, he trembled when he saw the contents of the letter at first sight!
"My lord, what did you say in the letter?" Lu Meng asked in a low voice.

Sun Quan took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his anxiety and rage, and said, "Lu Yan! Lu Yan! That guy actually destroyed our fortifications along the way. He has already destroyed dozens of my defensive fortresses. Nearly ten thousand stone grain and grass!
Not only that, he also blocked the Ruxukou, completely cutting off our army's water and food channels! "

"hiss!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp,
"As expected of Lu Yan, the action is really fast, accurate and ruthless!"

"This guy is such a vicious method!"

At this time, Lu Su finally stood up again, cupping his hands and persuading him, "My lord, Lu Yan is the top general in the world, we can't take any chances. Now that we have no other choice, let's withdraw our troops."

Lu Meng also retreated into the hall, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the governor will return to Hefei by this evening. Let's get ready to retreat!"

All the civil and military personnel in the big tent began to persuade: "My lord, withdraw!"

Sun Quan looked up at the top of the big tent, sighed deeply, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Pass my military order, pack up your luggage in secret, and prepare to evacuate!"

"Here!"

When Zhao Yun led the army to rush into Zhou Yu's camp, he realized that Zhou Yu had already withdrawn, and the withdrawal was clean and tidy without the slightest delay.

Xia Houlan looked incredulously at the barracks with military flags all over the walls, but the camp was empty inside, and murmured, "Zhou Yu ran away? Why?"

The Jiangdong army was still attacking the city in the middle of the night last night, why there was no movement at all this morning.

Zhao Yun felt a little puzzled, so he led the Dragon Cavalry Army to investigate the camp of the Jiangdong Army.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan discovered after this investigation that the army led by Zhou Yu had already withdrawn overnight!

In the city of Pingyu, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, and Man Chong were sitting in the prefect's mansion.

Man Chong, who was wrapped in several blood-oozing bandages, also murmured to himself in disbelief: "Zhou Yu actually withdrew this time, did he just do that?" as if he was still in a dream.

They still can't think of a reason for Zhou Yu's withdrawal.

"Could it be that the lord has sent reinforcements again?" Man Chong looked at Zhao Yun and asked.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Probably not. Before we left the army, Xuchang only had [-] defenders led by General Cao Hong and his wife, and there were no extra troops at all."

"Then maybe General Xiahou defeated Sun Quan, so Zhou Yu had to retreat?"

However, Man Chong quickly vetoed his second conjecture, "It shouldn't be. General Xiahou only has [-] soldiers and horses. It is basically impossible to defeat Sun Quan's [-] troops in such a short period of time."

"That's weird"

At this time, Xia Houlan, who had always been out of her mind, suddenly asked with a strange expression: "You two, I have a guess. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Man Chong heard the words, grinned and said: "We are all old brothers, what else can't we talk about?"

Xia Houlan also laughed, and said, "Sir, didn't you plan to lead the navy to go to war? Do you think that Zhou Yu's sudden withdrawal may have something to do with Mr.? Of course, this is just a guess."

Although Xia Houlan said that he was just a conjecture, these words opened Zhao Yun and Man Chong's thinking, and made their thinking suddenly clear!
Hey!
Man Chong suddenly stood up, and then stared at Xia Houlan with wide eyes. After a long while, he burst out laughing: "Hahahaha! That's right! In terms of understanding Mr., you must be Xiahou Ziheng!! !"

Zhao Yun also became excited. He changed his usual calm image and couldn't help walking back and forth in the hall, "That's right, that's right. It must be Mr.!"

"But how did you do it, Mister?" Xia Houlan asked another question.

"I don't know!" Man Chong and Zhao Yun replied simply shaking their heads.

"Amount..." The corners of Xia Houlan's mouth twitched
At this time, Zhao Yun showed a very sunny smile, and said to Xia Houlan and Man Chong: "Since Mr. has made a move, the news should come soon, let's wait and see!"

Moisturize mouth.

The ten three-masted warships in the front row fired three consecutive bombardments at the Jiangdong Army water fortress on the mouth of Ruxu.

The wooden wall of the water village was almost crumbled, and the soldiers in the water village were wiped out with the water village before they even came back.

Gan Ning fired two cannonballs himself, and finally got over some hand addiction.

After finishing the work, he came to Lu Yan with the smell of gunpowder all over his body, and asked:

"Sir, the fortifications of the Jiangdong Army in Ruxukou have all been dismantled, what should we do next?"

Lu Yan looked at the Jiangdong soldiers who were still fleeing in panic on the shore, and replied in a calm tone: "The Jiangdong Navy should be coming back soon, let's withdraw from Ruxukou first, continue westward all the way, and destroy the Jiangdong Army along the coast. fortifications."

"In this way, our speed will definitely not be able to increase. What if the Jiangdong navy catches up?" Gan Ning asked again abruptly.

Lu Yan turned his head and glanced at Gan Ning, then asked, "Don't you eat the meat delivered to you?"

Hearing this, Gan Ning subconsciously stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his chapped lips, "Hey, sir, you're joking. There's no reason not to eat the meat delivered to you!"
