"Good!"
Sun Fu, the prefect of Yuzhang, surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao's army won Yuzhang county without any effort.
After that, Cao Cao did not hesitate to send more than 35000 troops, pretending to be a hundred thousand troops. The front of the troops pointed directly at Danyang county and Wu County, and he had a joint attack with Xia Houyuan from east to west, and won the momentum of Jiangdong at one stroke.
"Has Cao Jun really crossed the river?"
After hearing the news, Jiang Qin hit his head like a heavy hammer.
"Quick, return to Danyang!"
Jiang Qin was not in a hurry. He immediately led the river patrol division to Wanling city.
"You Tai Gong, Cao's army is already marching into Danyang County, and it's called a hundred thousand troops!"
"100000 troops?"
Sun Jing was anxious to turn around: "now the whole Danyang County, even if you include Gongyi, your river patrol division, but only a few thousand people. How can you resist the hundred thousand Cao thieves?"
"Danyang county must be unable to protect, some has asked the governor of Dadu for instructions, and then it depends on how the governor replies." Jiang Qin said deeply.
...
Wujun, Wuxian.
Over the past few months, Sun Quan has been very happy because Wu county has finally been liberated.
Now, outside Wu County, there are two barracks, one is Cao Jun's camp, the other is Jiangdong barracks.
"Minister Zhou Yu, meet the Lord."
Zhou Yu bowed down and worshipped: "the last general failed to recapture the Lujiang River this time. He defeated the general at the expense of soldiers. He also asked the Lord to order punishment."
Sun Quan burst out laughing and went straight up to hold Zhou Yu up. He looked at Zhou Yu with a sincere face and said, "what do you mean by Dadu? In order to change the situation, the governor of Dadu came back immediately when he heard that someone was trapped in a lonely city. What can be blamed for his loyalty and courage. "
Zhou Yu looked up. Sun Quan's eyes were very sincere. In a trance, this face seemed to be transformed into another person's appearance, which made him crazy for a moment.
"Dudu?"
"Ah, thank you, Lord!"
Zhou Yu firmly said: "please rest assured, my Lord, I will try my best to defeat the Cao army and protect our Jiangdong."
Sun Quan nodded happily: "then Dadu will tell me how to break the thief."
Zhou Yu nodded and clapped his hands. A soldier came forward and showed a map.
"Look, my Lord."
Pointing to the map, Zhou Yu explained: "now a certain army has led 15000 soldiers stationed outside the city, forming a corner with Wu County. Our army has gained advantages in Wuxian county. Xia Houyuan is already at a disadvantage in terms of both strength and situation, but someone thinks that our army can't fight the enemy immediately."
"Why is that?"
Sun Quan was puzzled: "Wu county has been besieged by Xia Houyuan's troops for more than a month. Now, most of the county's supervisors have returned to the army, and the morale in the city is high. Isn't it a good time to defeat Xia Houyuan?"
Sun Quan, after all, was young and full of vigor. He was very dissatisfied with Xia Houyuan. He felt that since Zhou Yu's main force had turned around, it was natural for him to defeat Xia Houyuan.
Zhou Yu explained: "my Lord, although the number of our army is more than that of Xia Houyuan, it is limited after all. Xia Houyuan is a famous general of Cao's army, and it is hard to defeat it urgently. Even if we can defeat Xia Houyuan, our army will certainly lose a lot."
Sun Quan nodded his head and said, "so, do you have a better way?"
"Yes. At present, although Xia Houyuan is strong and powerful, he is a guest army from Guangling, and his potential will not last long. As long as our army has to wait for a period of time, XiaHouYuan's grain and grass will be exhausted and their morale will be exhausted. Our army will defend our homeland and expel Cao's army with justice, and we will certainly achieve twice the result with half the effort! "
Sun Quan was a bit anxious. He inherited sun CE's position, but he was not as prestigious as sun CE. Therefore, he urgently needed a big victory to stabilize people's hearts and stabilize his position. Therefore, he hoped that Zhou Yu would attack immediately to defeat Cao's army.
However, after hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, Sun Quan reluctantly agreed to it. After all, Zhou Yu's argument was well founded, and he was not good at refuting it. He could not say that he did not cherish the lives of the soldiers?
"The soldiers fought hard and had a rest."
Sun Quan again said with a smile: "tonight a banquet will be held for Dadu and other generals of the East army of our river. Don't forget to come here."
"Thank you, Lord."
Outside the city of Wu County, in Cao's barracks.
"Uncle, Zhou Yu is back. At least, there are nearly 20000 soldiers under his command." Xia Hou Shang and Xia Houyuan's way.
Xia Hou yuan nodded: "well, now the number of soldiers and horses in and out of Wu county has exceeded our army."
"If Zhou Yu and Sun Quan took this opportunity to launch a campaign against our army, it would not be good."
Xia Hou Shang said anxiously: "after all, our army has few people and is fighting outside. If the Jiangdong army launches a general attack, I'm afraid our army is not an opponent."
"Bolen, what are you worried about?"
Xia Hou Yuan said coldly, "don't worry. Since Zhou Yu has returned to his master's office, it means that the prime minister has occupied the Lujiang River and will soon come to Jiangdong.""When the prime minister's army comes to Jiangdong and the two armies join forces, the strength is at least three times that of Jiangdong army!"
Xia Hou yuan raised his voice and said: "when the time comes, our army will attack Wujun in an all-out way, and Jiangdong will be pacified. What are you afraid of?"
"Will the prime minister come?"
When Xiahou Shang heard the news, he couldn't help getting excited: "that's really good news."
"However, we should also be on guard against the fact that the Jiangdong army is really fighting back to back."
Xia Houyuan's eyes narrowed: "I will order the whole army to shrink the front and not to continue to besiege Wu County. If the Jiangdong army really comes to attack, it is absolutely impossible to respond to the attack. We just need to defend the barracks instead of attacking."
Xia Hou still embraces the fist way: "Nuo, some this goes to convey the order."
On the same day, Xia Houyuan issued an order, and all Cao troops were not allowed to order or attack without authorization. They took the defensive position temporarily.
For a while, the attack and defense changed. Before that, the arrogant Cao army suddenly became cautious and took the initiative to shrink the front. Jiangdong soldiers and soldiers who had been trapped in the city for a long time all applauded. They even hoped that Sun Quan would order Jiangdong army to rush out and attack XiaHouYuan.
At the time of the parliament, some civil and military generals of Jiangdong army proposed to attack XiaHouYuan and defeat the enemy at one go, but they were all rejected by Sun Quan. The situation around Wu County turned into a confrontation between the Jiangdong army and the Cao army, but this time it was the Jiangdong army that gained the upper hand.
However, the situation changed very quickly, especially with the arrival of a letter in XiaHouYuan's army, the morale of Cao's army became uplifted again.
"The prime minister's army has captured Yuzhang county and is storming Danyang county. It is expected to arrive in Wu County in five days at most."
Xia Houyuan said ambitiously: "gentlemen, the day of decisive battle between our army and Jiangdong army is not far away!"
"The prime minister is majestic!"
"Ha ha ha, it's time to fight!"
