Soldiers come to the world

Sun Quan himself was the chief general, and Lu Meng was the deputy general. He led [-] Jiangdong troops and [-] warships to assist Cao's army in the west.

Although the Jiangdong army is powerful, it seems that it is only stormy and thunderous, without any actual action. It stands to reason that they should take back Wuhu first and form a confrontation with the Han army. However, Sun Quan is not in a hurry to launch an offensive against the Han army. Yang, bide your time.

Sun Quan received information that after the Han army occupied Ruxukou, they did not march north in a large scale, but stationed heavy troops and warships at Ruxukou, seemingly confronting Cao Jun, but Sun Quan knew in his heart that Liu Jing was defending himself.

In this way, the Jiangdong Army will not easily advance westward. Sun Quan hopes that the Han Army will fight Cao Jun first, so that he will have the opportunity to obtain the greatest benefit. However, Cao Jun is not in a hurry to fight the Han Army. Only by fighting fiercely with the Jiangdong Army can they maximize their benefits.

This is a delicate triangular balance, but on Sun Quan's side, there is also a reason for worrying about the future.

Sun Quan had just received the news that Lu Xun had killed the He brothers with tricks and led [-] Han troops to capture Kuaiji County. Although Sun Quan did not know that Lu Xun had marched to Wu County, Sun Quan was shocked by the loss of Kuaiji County.

Danyang, Wujun, and Kuaiji are the three core counties in Jiangdong. He can not care about the gains and losses of the other counties, but these three counties are the only ones that are related to his rule in Jiangdong. No matter which one he loses, he cannot bear it.

Although the He brothers occupied Kuaiji, they still recognized him as the lord of Jiangdong after all, and the Han army occupied Kuaiji was completely different. Sun Quan was anxious and refused to go west and stopped in Liyang Waiting for news from Wu Jun, if another accident happened to Wu Jun, he would not care about the battle in Hefei.

In the cabin, Sun Quan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking very anxious. Sima Buzhi, who was marching beside him, advised, "After all, the Han army only has three thousand troops. Even if all the Kuaiji troops surrendered, they would take at least a few months to integrate. Not so fast, and Wu Jun has veteran Huang Gai guarding him, I think nothing will happen, Wu Hou don't need to be so anxious."

Sun Quan sighed and said: "If it is true that only Han generals like Lou Fa are in Kuaiji County, I don't worry about it, but Lu Xun is in Kuaiji County, and Sun Shao also served as the prefect of Kuaiji, so it is easy to get the support of the Kuaiji army. Support, I also know Lu Xun's ability, it doesn't take a few months, at most ten days and half a month, he can complete the general Ji army, as for Wu Jun, I am even more worried."

Bu Zhi also knew why Sun Quan was worried about Wu Jun, because it was Lu Xun who led the army, and under the banner of Sun Shao, not to mention that the three aristocratic families of Wu Jun would support Lu Xun, more importantly, the people of Wu Jun recognized Sun Shao, with the support of the family and public opinion However, whether Huang Gai can hold Wu County is indeed worrying.

Bu Zhi wanted to comfort Sun Quan again, but the truth was in front of them, and it would be useless to comfort them. They had to find a way to solve the immediate crisis. After a moment of silence, Bu Zhi asked again: "Then how is Marquis Wu going to deal with the crisis in Kuaiji or Wu Jun?" ?”

Sun Quan said: "I have ordered Xu Sheng to lead an army of 5000 troops to rush to Wu County for support, so that Wu County's army can reach [-] people, but Jianye's troops are not enough, so I want to withdraw another [-] troops to defend. Jianye, anyway, I promised Cao Cao to send [-] troops, and I still have [-] after transferring [-] troops, which is not considered a breach of promise."

"But if there are only [-] troops, I'm afraid it will be insufficient to deal with the Han army."

Sun Quan sighed, "There is no other way. After all, I want to keep Jiangdong first. If Wu County falls, I may have to withdraw from the Hefei War. I hope Cao Cao can understand my difficulties."

Bu Zhi could only smile wryly, Cao Cao only cared about his own interests, how could he understand Jiangdong's difficulties?

If the Jiangdong army joins the war, then Hefei will develop, and the Sun-Cao coalition will have a six-point chance of winning, with both offensive and defensive capabilities. But once Jiangdong withdraws, it will only rely on the Cao army to fight against the Han army. Without the navy, the Cao army will only be on the defensive. It is also reduced to [-]%, and the Han army will have a six-point advantage. This is a fact that everyone understands. How can Cao Cao not blame the Jiangdong army?

At this moment, a guard hurried to the outside of the cabin to report: "Report to Marquis Wu, a fleet of Cao's army has arrived, about a hundred ships, and sent [-] barrels of kerosene."

Sun Quan was both pleasantly surprised and apprehensive. The pleasant surprise was that Cao Cao did not miss the appointment, and the kerosene he was looking forward to finally arrived.

Sun Quan was in a complicated mood, so he had no choice but to say to Bu Zhi: "Go and see the kerosene before we talk about it!"

At this time, a fleet of [-] cargo ships stopped in Caohe Nei, Liyang County. The thousands of Cao soldiers in the fleet were all dressed up by Han Jun Qiao, and the leader Ya Jiang was named Wen. Of course, this General Wen was also dressed up by a Han general, as long as they didn't jump out and shout, 'I am the Han army! "Jiangdong Army generally does not notice such details.

Sun Quan brought Bu Zhi, Lu Meng and others to the side of the fleet. Thousands of Jiangdong troops were carrying kerosene to the shore, and [-] barrels of kerosene were piled up like a hill.

At this time, Yajiang Wen Yan stepped forward to salute, took out Cao Cao's autographed letter, and presented it to Sun Quan, "This is a autographed letter from Duke Wei to Marquis Wu, please read it to Marquis Wu."

Sun Quan took the letter and read it again. It was indeed Cao Cao's handwriting. It was written clearly. According to the agreement reached by the two parties, [-] barrels of kerosene will be delivered first, and [-] barrels of grain will be delivered in batches later. Set up troops in Wuhu.

Sun Quan sighed again in his heart, Cao Cao was unambiguous at all, and clearly asked himself to send troops to Wuhu, what should we do?

He then asked General Wen Yan, "Is the journey going smoothly? Have you encountered any patrol boats from the Han army?"

Wen Yan saluted and said respectfully: "The Han army is mainly patrolling around Nanchao Lake, and we enter Baixiashui from Beichao Lake. They don't know that this river has been widened, but we have to go back as soon as possible. Food comes from the sun.”

Sun Quan nodded, turned around and asked Cang Cao Canjun Han Jin, "Han Canjun, is there a problem with the kerosene?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have already checked the humble position. It is exactly the refined clear fire oil. The quantity is [-] barrels, which is completely correct."

Sun Quan immediately sat down and wrote a reply letter to Cao Cao, and handed it to Wen Yan, "General Wen can forward this letter to Duke Wei."

Wen Yan received the letter and said: "In addition, Wei Gong has a message for me to pass on to Marquis Wu."

"General Wen, please speak!"

"Duke Wei said that the Han army may send troops from Chaisang to Xindu County, so please don't be careless with the defenders of Wu County."

Sun Quan was surprised. Cao Cao would never say this for no reason. He must have evidence for saying this. Did the Han army increase troops to Xindu County again?

"Does Duke Wei have any other messages?"

"No more, this is just a sentence, if Marquis Wu has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first!"

Wen Yan saluted Sun Quan, turned around and boarded the cargo ship. Not long after, the hundred cargo ships turned around and sailed slowly towards Lishui in the north.

Sun Quan was confused, thought for a long time, and said to Lu Meng: "I will lead an army of [-] to rush back to Jianye, and the Liyang navy will be temporarily handed over to Commander Lu, and the army will be stationed in Liyang. Without my order, no one is allowed March to Wuhu."

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Lu Meng hesitated for a moment, and then suggested: "Although we can't march to Wuhu on a large scale, we can also harass the Han army on a small scale and intercept the Han army's supplies. This can also give Cao Cao an explanation."

Sun Quan nodded, "Yes, you can discuss the specific plan with Bu Sima."

Sun Quan turned his head and pointed to the mountains of kerosene barrels piled up on the shore and said, "These [-] barrels of kerosene will be transported to Wu County immediately and handed over to General Huang to deal with the Han army. We must leave immediately."

Cao Cao’s first batch of [-] barrels of kerosene was all carried with the army, and Jianye had no stock. Sun Quan was really worried about the safety of Wu County, so he immediately decided to send the second batch of [-] barrels of kerosene to Wu County.

At this time, even if the army does not withdraw to Jianye, Sun Quan must rush back

Lu Xun led an army of [-] soldiers and occupied Qiantang County without bloodshed. He then occupied Fuchun County and Yuhang County, and obtained nearly [-] shi of official rations from these three affluent counties as his army rations.

But Lu Xun was not in a hurry to go north. On the one hand, it took time for Lou Fa to lead the fleet to Songjiang; The county came quickly.

Lu Xun immediately realized that this was the supporting army sent by the King of Han to encircle Wu County from the side. The arrival of 5000 Han troops greatly increased Lu Xun's confidence. In this way, he would have [-] soldiers on the battlefield of Wu County, and The strength of the Jiangdong Army in Wu County is the same. Let's see who has a better strategy and performs better before the battle, and whoever can win the final victory.

But Lu Xun's means were not limited to military. Just five days after he occupied Qiantang County, one of Lu Xun's confidants sneaked into Wu County secretly and found the Lu family.

Although the Lu family has been recognized as having connections with the Han army, Sun Quan did not liquidate the Lu family after he regained Wu Jun. The reason is also very simple. Sun Quan's support rate in Wu Jun is not high.

The Lu family is the number one family in Wu County, and has a close relationship with the Gu family and the Zhang family. The three families are married to each other, and one is prosperous and the other is damaged. Once the Lu family is liquidated, it will inevitably cause turmoil in Wu County. This made Sun Quan wary of taking advantage of the Lu family.

However, Sun Quan couldn't swallow this breath. Although he didn't attack the Lu family, he still ordered Huang Gai to send people to closely monitor the Lu family's every move, so as not to allow the Lu family to cause any trouble again.

It was impossible for Huang Gai to send people to surround the Lu residence, but he deployed two monitors in front of each of the three gates of the Lu residence to see who would visit the Lu residence, or who would Lu Jun visit again?

This is just a low-level surveillance. Sun Quan hates the Lu family deeply, but Huang Gai may not. It is impossible for Huang Gai to offend the Lu, Gu, and Zhang families. Ten thousand households, if tens of thousands of tenant farmers collectively rioted, it would be difficult to calm down. Huang Gai knew this well, so he only dealt with Sun Quan on the surface, monitoring the Lu family symbolically, and did not dare to oppress the Lu family too much.

At night, it began to rain lightly in Wu County, and several people monitoring the Lu family gathered together to drink and chat boredly. At this time, a man in black quickly approached the east courtyard of the Lu residence, and looked around for a while on both sides of the courtyard wall. There is no side door in the area, and naturally no one is watching.

The man in black quickly climbed up a big tree, jumped into the Lu residence.
