Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 556 Fight to Fame

Lujiang County belongs to Huainan, between Jiangxia and Jiujiang. The original government was in Shu County. Xu Huang handed over Lujiang to Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu moved the government south to Wancheng in order to put pressure on Jiangdong. Dabie Mountain, one of the earliest bases, is located in Lujiang.

On March 8000th, Xu Gai led the army across the river to exchange for the Jiangdong flag, and gathered with Lu Meng.Lu Meng led [-] troops out of Danyang, ordered Xu Gai and Pan Zhang to be the pioneers, followed by Zi and Ma Zhong.

With Xu Gai leading the way, Jiangdong soldiers and horses marched extremely fast. The prefect Zhu Guang was still preparing for the spring plowing that year and did not take any precautions. When he got the news, Xu Gai and Pan Zhang had conquered several counties and their troops were approaching the city.

Zhu Guang hurriedly organized the defense of the city with Dong He, who joined the army, and sent someone to ask for help from Li Tong who was stationed in Shouchun, Jiujiang County. As for Wenpin in Jiangxia County, Zhu Guang did not expect Wenpin to rescue him.

He claimed that the walls of Wancheng were solid and thick, and that the late prefect Lu Kang had defended the city against Sun Ce's attack for two years, so he could defend the city for the first half of the year.However, he forgot: one is that Sun Ce has only 6000 people, and there are very few elites, most of whom are old and weak given to him by Yuan Shu; Kang has been an official for many years, with high morals and high prestige, and his soldiers are willing to use their lives. Zhu Guangchu has just arrived, but his military prestige has not yet been established.

Xu Gai suggested to Pan Zhang not to rush to attack the city, but to wait for Lu Meng's army.Seeing that Jiangdong soldiers and horses did not attack, Zhu Guang was lucky again.

On March 22, Lu Meng's army arrived.Xu Gai suggested to Lu Meng according to his father's plan that he should attack with all his strength the next morning, and Lu Meng agreed.

On March 23, before dawn, Jiangdong soldiers and horses were divided into three teams. Xu Gai, Pan Zhang, and Ma Zhong each led a team to launch a fierce attack. Lu Meng personally beat drums in front of the formation to cheer.

Zhu Guang got the report just after he got up and had not had breakfast. Jiangdong attacked the city, and hurriedly organized defense with Dong He and Shangchengtou.However, at this time, there was chaos in the city. People everywhere shouted that the Jiangdong army had entered the city, and several houses and shops were on fire.He hurriedly ordered Dong He to lead 2000 people to put out the fire and arrest the perpetrators.

Under the leadership of Xu Gai, two thousand veterans from Lujiang rushed to Wancheng without hesitation. They crossed the moat and built ladders in front of the city without the defenders and guards in place.That being the case, some old soldiers died under the arrows.

Xu Gai is wearing heavy armor, holding a large shield in one hand and a sporadic hammer in the other, climbing the ladder with arrows.Thanks to the special training in the Independence Battalion, Xu Gai stepped on the ladder without hands, covered his body with a large shield with his left hand to block arrows and stones from the city, and swung the meteor hammer with his right hand to sweep at the soldiers at the top of the city. Jump to the top of the city.

Deng Ai clapped his hands in the city: "Good! Beat the drum!"

The sound of war drums shook the world, and Jiangdong soldiers rushed upwards when they saw someone ascending the city.

Xu Gai wielded the meteor hammer not to kill Cao Jun, but to hold a corner at the top of the city so that the soldiers could climb the city.Using the meteor hammer was Xu Huang's suggestion. Although Zhou Cang's original intention was to only help in the battle and not be a pioneer death squad, but in order for his son to become famous in the first battle, Xu Huang exhausted his mind to build armor for Xu Gai, choose the weapon, and chose the meteor hammer for Open up the battlefield.

The meteor hammered the tiger and the tiger was blown by the wind. Cao Jun could not get close and could only shoot arrows. The arrows were all blocked by the big shield. More and more Xuzhou and Jiangdong troops climbed to the top of the city. When Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong came up, Cao Jun was defeated. Zhu Guang drew out his saber and ordered the soldiers not to retreat.

Xu Gai aimed at Zhu Guang a long time ago. Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, he went straight to Zhu Guang under the guard of the old soldiers. The meteor hammer was thrown out and hit Zhu Guang's shoulder.When he woke up, he had already been tied up. Fortunately, he was not alone. He found that Dong He was a prisoner just like him.

It only took half a day from the fierce attack at the fifth watch to the final victory over Wancheng!

"A tiger father has no dogs." Lu Meng sighed, but also worried, Xuzhou's young general is so amazing!Lu Meng kept his promise and distributed [-]% of the spoils to Xu Gai.

Xu Gai was heartbroken, out of the [-] old soldiers his father had given him, less than [-] survived. He had achieved military exploits, so how would he explain to his father when he returned home.Deng Ai said that the speed of soldiers is very important, and when Cao Jun didn't react, he should attack quickly, which hit Lu Meng's arms.

Lu Meng ordered to rest for half a day. Xuzhou suffered heavy losses and stayed in Wancheng to rest and clean up the surrounding counties; It borders Lu'an.

With Zhu Guang and Dong He in hand, the defenders of Shu County and Liu An were frightened and fled in all directions. The two armies successfully captured the two places.However, Li Tong Dexin, the Shouchun garrison general, came to help, Lu Meng also stopped at Lu'an, and Jiangdong captured most of Lujiang.

Xu Gai did not contribute much to Deng Ai's persuasion in Xiawan City. Lei Xu, the guard of Huangmei, led tens of thousands of people to move to Jingzhou to join Liu Bei, but Xu Gai did not pursue him.

When Sun Quan learned that Lujiang had been acquired, he was ecstatic and ordered Lu Fan to be the prefect of Lujiang, and moved the government office to Shu County again.At this time, excluding the subordinate Jiaozhou scholars, Sun Quan had six counties under his command: Wu County, Kuaiji County, Danyang County, Lujiang County, Yuzhang County, and Luling County.

Xu Gai completed his mission and returned to Xuzhou with a full load of spoils.Lu Meng told Xuzhou that the wisdom and bravery of the two young generals should not be underestimated. Sun Quan couldn't help being vigilant again to Xuzhou, and he couldn't easily make things difficult for Zhou Cang.

When these news reached Cao Cao's ears, how could he not be shocked, Huainan's rich and prosperous land was stolen by Sun Quan, and the situation was getting worse for him.Cao Cao, who was promoted to the Duke of Wei, was no longer the Cao Cao who could humbly admit his mistakes. Jia Xu advised him not to rush to attack Youzhou, and Sima Yi advised him to stabilize Sun Quan first, but they were not accepted. He was caught in a dilemma.

Jia Xu and Sima Yi wisely kept silent.That's all for Jia Xu, Sima Yi's actions undoubtedly aggravated Cao Cao's doubts about him. As he got more and more in touch with Sima Yi, Cao Cao felt that Sima Yi was very thoughtful, even if he seldom looked directly at him while walking, he always Glance around from time to time, while maintaining the original posture.

Xun You proposed to Cao Cao to withdraw troops: First, make peace with Sun Quan, acquiescing to Sun Quan's occupation of Lujiang.The second is to send envoys to show favor to Zhou Cang and explore Zhou Cang's attitude.The third is to denounce Liu Bei, condemn Liu Bei for attacking Yizhou, infringing on the clan, and call on the world to attack him together.Xun You's strategy is nothing more than knocking out his front teeth and swallowing his stomach, swallowing the breath first, and looking for opportunities to get revenge; pointing the finger at Liu Bei, making Liu Bei make enemies everywhere.

Cao Cao had never suffered from being dumb, and he was extremely unwilling, but he had no choice but to agree.In order to guard against Xu Shu's pursuit, he ordered Cao Zhang to ambush Yan Rou and Cao Hong. If there was an enemy chasing, Cao Zhang feigned defeat and led the pursuers into an ambush.
