Han Shimou

Han Dang attended in a hurry, bowing his hands and admonishing.Zhou Tai and other generals also echoed.Zhou Yu's complexion changed rapidly, and his thoughts turned. Sun Ce was not only his lord, but also his sworn brother. Zhou Yu regarded Sun Ce more than his own life, so he would die without saving him.Zhou Yu immediately discussed with a group of civil and military personnel, and decided to send [-] troops to be led by him personally, and Zhou Tai, Han Dang and others would rescue Xuzhou.As for Jiang Yin, he led the remaining soldiers and horses to retreat to Qiao County to guard against the favored Yuzhou soldiers and horses to counterattack.

The situation was extremely urgent, and the Jiangdong army marched that night, and they had already worked carefully to repay Man Chong.Man Chong was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he sent Kuaiqi overnight to inform Cao Ren, who was gathering troops in Chenjun to the west.

Zhou Yu's [-] elite soldiers went ahead that night, while Jiang Yin led [-] soldiers and horses to stay in Dazhai to stop the rear.Man Chong did not take advantage of the situation to send troops. Seeing this, Jiang Yin ordered the army to retreat slowly, and then suddenly accelerated the retreat when it was dawn.

Cao Jun's scouts came to report, saying that Jiangdong's army was retreating at an accelerated pace and was about to withdraw from Chenliu's territory.When Cao Zhang heard the words, he was anxious to remonstrate with Man Chong.

"Sir, you missed a great opportunity last night. If you let the thief go back today, you are really letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

Man Chong listened to the words, but smiled indifferently, and said calmly.

"Last night, if I sent troops to chase after him, the thieves would have fought to the death to save Sun Bofu. In this way, even if our army could gain power, there would be heavy casualties. Now that Zhou Gongjin has sent his troops away, the thieves retreated quickly. This is a good time for our army to pursue it!"

Cao Zhang's eyes lit up suddenly, and Man Chong sent [-] troops to Cao Zhang, ordering Cao Zhang to send his army to cover up and kill him.Cao Zhang listened to the order, and hurriedly gathered ten thousand horses and infantry, and went out of the city to chase and kill Jiang Yin's soldiers and horses.

In other words, seeing that the Yuzhou soldiers and horses did not come to chase and kill, Jiang Yin was quite relaxed.As soon as he left Chenliu's realm, it was already dark, so Jiang Yin ordered the soldiers to cook and rest.

Unexpectedly, just as Jiangdong's army stopped, there was a sudden shout of killing from behind, and countless horseshoe soldiers rushed from all directions.Jiang Yin paled in shock, got on his horse and retreated quickly.The Jiangdong Army dispersed in a panic.

In a short time, Cao Zhang came to him in a flash, swung his 86-jin black iron giant sword and killed the Jiangdong people, rushing left and right, as if entering no one's land.Wang Yue stood by Cao Zhang's side, his sword hair was like thunder, and he simply and quickly killed the Jiangdong soldiers passing by.The Jiangdong army was in great chaos and it was difficult to resist. Jiang Yin led a remnant army to take the road and go to Qiao County.

Cao Zhang seized countless horses and luggage, and ordered a Yuzhou general to lead a troop back to Xuchang.Cao Zhang led eight thousand soldiers and horses to pursue Jiang Yin overnight.Seeing that Cao Zhang was chasing after him, Jiang Yin was frightened and terrified, and only hoped to flee with his life in the direction of Qiao County.

Jiang Yin fled for days and rushed to the foot of Qiao County, where he was anxious to call the door.There was a sound of drums in the city, and the sound of shouting and killing suddenly broke out. A general led the army out, shouting loudly.

"Jiangdong rats, I have taken Qiao County for a long time!"

Hearing Jiang Yin's words, it was like falling into an ice abyss, and he was shocked. It was Cao Zixiao, a general under Cao Cao's command.It turned out that one day ago, Cao Ren sent his army to attack Qiao County. The Jiangdong army who stayed in Qiao County was unprepared, and Cao Ren captured the city.

When Jiang Yin saw Cao Ren, he was so frightened that he pulled his horse and left.Cao Ren waved his army to cover up the attack. Cao Hong stared fiercely and raised his thick eyebrows. He took the lead and charged into Jiangdong's army.Jiang Yin had just fled for a while, and suddenly there was another overwhelming cry of killing in front of him, and it was the pursuers led by Cao Zhang who came to kill him.Jiang Yin hurriedly ordered the soldiers to turn into a narrow path on the right. After walking for five or six miles, suddenly, a cannon sounded.A group of men and horses turned out from the side of the road, and the leading general was none other than Hejian Zhang Junyi!

Zhang Jaw's tiger's eyes twinkled, he shouted loudly, he straightened his gun and slapped his horse, and took Jiang Yin directly.Jiang Yin hurriedly responded, only to see flames bursting into the sky from Zhang Jaw's steel gun, and seven or eight huge flaming snakes rushed over with their bloody mouths open.

Xiangshi's killer move came out suddenly, Jiang Yin was stabbed by Zhang Jaw, and fell off the horse.Zhang Ja then ordered the soldiers to capture him. Seeing that Jiang Yin was captured, the rest of the Jiangdong soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Jiang Yin was captured, and almost all Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Yuzhou were captured and killed by Cao Jun.At this time, Zhou Yu didn't know the great changes in Yuzhou when he rushed to rescue Xuzhou.

And half a month ago, Cao's army besieged Xiapi City on all sides.In addition, Cao Cao successfully trapped Sun Ce to death in Xiapi as expected, and was overjoyed in his heart, so he discussed raising troops to attack Xiapi.Jia Xu bowed in attendance and remonstrated.

"Sun Ce only has a city of Xiapi now. If he is forced too urgently, he will fight against the water to survive. My lord, you should not rush into the attack on Xiapi. It is the best policy to attack slowly!"

As soon as Jia Xu said this, Xun You frowned and retorted.

"However, if Zhou Gongjin knew that Sun Bofu was in danger, he would definitely raise an army every day and come to help quickly. Even if the Jiangdong army arrives, Your Majesty will miss the golden opportunity to kill Sun Bofu!"

"Xiapi City is extremely strong, and there is the danger of Surabaya. It is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the king can't attack, the soldiers will fight hard for days, and when the men are exhausted, Zhou Gongjin leads the army to kill. Our army hastily And blocking, how can there be no reason to be invincible!?"

Jia Xu didn't take it seriously, and refuted it.As a result, the advisers under Cao Cao's command held their own opinions and argued endlessly.After a while, Cao Cao suddenly slapped the table, and there was a loud 'bang', and the originally noisy tent suddenly returned to calm.Cao Cao squinted at the shimmering eyes, and shouted in a concentrated voice.

"After our military camp has made a decision, the lonely general will call that Sun Bofu to answer the question, and we will make a conclusion after seeing how he agrees!"

Cao Cao was determined, and no one dared to refute it.Let's say that Sun Ce is in Xiapi, and he believes that the city is strong and there is danger of Surabaya. In addition, there is no need for rescue troops to come to rescue him. counterattack.

Lu Xun heard the report from the scouts, and the Cao troops who came from various ministries were going down to the village, so they hurriedly came to find Sun Ce to remonstrate.

"Now that Cao's army is coming, you can take advantage of the fact that the fence is still undecided, and use ease to attack labor, and you will surely win a big victory!"

Sun Ce frowned when he heard the words, as if he had made a decision long ago, and after pondering for a while, he replied.

"Our side has been defeated repeatedly, the morale of the army is in chaos, and the morale is low. Don't take it lightly. In addition, the old thief Cao has always been resourceful. How could he be unprepared. I wanted to wait for him to attack, and then he attacked him from behind and drove him away. Surabaya, flood Cao's army!"

When Lu Xun heard the words, his expression changed, and he asked anxiously.

"What if Cao Jun doesn't come?"

Sun Ce grinned.

"Hahaha! If old thief Cao doesn't dare to fight, it's just what I want, and our army will just wait for work. When Gongjin's army arrives and attack back and forth, the old thief will definitely be captured in one fell swoop!!!"

Sun Ce then did not listen to Lu Xun's words, but ordered the soldiers to guard tightly and not to fight lightly.After a few days, it was decided that Cao Bing would go to the stronghold.Cao Cao led the generals to the city and called for Sun Ce to come and answer.

Sun Ce went up to the city and stood there. Seeing that Cao's army was extremely powerful, Cao Cao led all the generals of the Cao family under the banner, just like the great emperors in ancient times.

Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce and saw that he was heroic and handsome, even better than his father's demeanor back then, so he secretly admired him.When he was young, Cao Cao shouted loudly.

"Gu Benyu and Sun Lang became good friends of the Qin and Jin Dynasties, but Sun Lang was instigated by Zhuge Kongming to invade the Guzhizhou County. I think your father and Gu Xiri were the same robes in the same dynasty, and I really can't bear to be with the son of the old man until death. .Now Xiapi City is surrounded by lonely soldiers and horses. If the city is destroyed, it will be too late to regret! If you come and surrender early, and help the royal family together, you will not lose your position as a prince!!"

Sun Ce laughed angrily when he heard the words, and scolded Cao Cao for being a traitor in troubled times, and he would never join him in evil.Cao Cao Huigai was shot by Sun Ce and fell off his horse in shock. The generals rushed to save Cao Cao.In the city, Sun Ce was laughing loudly, humiliating Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's detailed eyes widened, full of hatred, he gritted his teeth, pointed at Sun Ce and shouted angrily.

"Zhuzi doesn't know good from bad, so I swear to kill you!!!"

After Cao Cao finished drinking, he wanted to lead his troops to attack the city.Jia Xu pointed at Surabaya and stopped abruptly, saying.

"Your Majesty can't, Surabaya is extremely dangerous. If Sun Bofu kills from behind when our army is attacking the city, forcing our army to retreat to Surabaya, our army will definitely be defeated!!!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's face changed rapidly, but finally he suppressed his anger and ordered the army to withdraw.As soon as Cao Jun withdrew, Sun Ce gathered his subordinates and military officers to discuss matters in the county office.Lu Su attended and remonstrated.

"Cao Cao came from afar, deployed troops to besiege the city, and consumed a huge amount of food every day. According to detailed reports, Cao's army was short of food, and sent people to the East China Sea to fetch it. In ten days, Cao's army is exhausted, but it can be broken with one drum!"

When Sun Ce heard the words, his domineering eyes lit up, and he nodded in response.

"The public statement is very true. You should follow it!"

That night Sun Ce gathered [-] elite soldiers and wanted to go out of the city at night and cut off Cao Jun's food road.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao had already made a plan, Sun Ce had just left Xiapi city and traveled a few miles, when suddenly fires lit up everywhere, and countless fighting sounds rushed over.Sun Ce's expression changed drastically, and he retreated hastily.Cao Jun evaded the attack behind him, and Sun Ce retreated into the city in embarrassment, losing many soldiers and horses.

Sun Ce was almost besieged and killed by Cao Jun's ambushing soldiers and horses. He was in shock and never dared to leave Xiapi lightly.On the other side, because of the danger of Surabaya, Cao Cao did not dare to attack Xiapi by force, and there was nothing he could do for a while, and the two armies held each other for three or four days.

Seeing that the battle was making no progress, Cao Cao thought that Zhou Yu's troops would be approaching soon, so he wanted to retreat to Pengcheng and recharge his batteries until Zhou Yu's troops arrived before making any plans.

Jia Xu listened to the words and went to report quickly.

"No! Sun Lang's vigor has fallen after repeated defeats. The army is dominated by generals. If the generals are weak, the army has no fighting spirit. The king's four armies besieged Xiapi and gained the upper hand. How can we abandon them? The king should take advantage of Sun Lang's spirit. Come on, make a quick attack, and you will surely capture Sun Lang!"

Cao Cao also didn't want to withdraw his army, but he couldn't plan to attack Xiapi, so he said very distressed.

"But there's nothing we can do right now, how can we catch that Sun Bofu!?"

"The King's treasure is Surabaya. According to my opinion, Surabaya can block our army and also hurt the enemy's army. I have a plan to destroy Xiapi City, which is better than 20 troops!!"

Jia Xu's bright eyes suddenly burst into brilliant light, Xun You suddenly woke up when he heard it, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Could it be that the strategy of Wenhe is to decide on Sishui and flood Picheng!?"

Jia Xu grinned and nodded heavily.

"Gongda is really smart, Xu is exactly what he means!"

At this moment, Chen Deng's complexion changed drastically, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.Jia Xu is worthy of the title of "poison man". The plan of flooding Xiapi is extremely vicious. If the plan is successful, although Xiapi can be flooded, the people in Xiapi city will surely suffer countless deaths and injuries due to the flood!

For a while, Chen Deng was deeply in thoughts. He was also a Xuzhou shepherd and a native of Xuzhou, and the people in Xiapi were his villagers.
