Vol 2 Chapter 370: Pride

In March 23rd of Jian'an, just as Nanyang Cao Cao and Liu Bei converged on the front line of Xinye, a war that might reverse the pattern of the world was about to strike, and Sun Quan, who had been preparing for a long time, finally started to fight in the land of Jianghuai. Lu Meng and Gan Ning led the army First captured the county of Anhui, Wei general Zhu Guang and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who were defending the city were captured, and at the same time opened the prelude of Sun Quan's northward journey to Jianghuai.
Even if Cao Cao had already deployed, but this time Sun Quan was in a fierce situation, 100,000 troops were taking the waterway, and within the first half month, Cao Jun almost fled along the way, giving up the real cities one after another, which also kept the morale of Jiangdong Army rising. In addition, the good news from Wanxian County has increased the morale of Jiangdong Army to a limit.
Hefei, Ya Department.
Zhang Liao and Man Chong carefully studied the marching route of Jiangdong. A general stepped in and saw the two men, suppressing their anger: "Wen Yuan, Berning, and Sun Quan have led their troops to the bottom of the city. Was it even necessary to give up this Hefei City? "
The coming person was Zang Ba, and was one of the eight generals under Lv Bu's army. Later, after he was lowered to Cao Cao, he repeatedly made warfare. This time Cao Cao played with Liu Bei in Nanyang. He was worried that Sun Quan would be moved by Liu Bei to attack Jianghuai. Chong and Zangba came to the court to advocate Liao, but he had to mobilize soldiers from both Qing and Xu, so he came relatively late. When he arrived in Hefei, Sun Quan was about to hit Hefei.
I haven't quite understood why characters like Zhang Liao can make Sun Quan march forward all the way to kill Hefei.
"This is also a plan to lure the enemy. Xuan Gaomo wants to panic." Zhang Liao looked at Zang Ba and smiled.
"Lure the enemy?" Zang Ba stared at Zhang Liao, puzzled.
He came this time, not to send Sun Quan city. At present, the land of Lujiang and Jiujiang is almost defeated by these two people. Together, more than 20 cities are gone, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians from Zhu Guang are added.
Zhang Liao said with some helplessness: "Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army is attacking, and our army has insufficient military strength. If he resists by city, he will only be defeated by that Sun Quan! Zhu Guang does not listen to me. Fight. "
"But when Sun Quan was killed all the way, our army's successive concessions would only make morale more depressed!" Zang Ba frowned.
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "It's true, but it's just a city-by-city defense, where every inch of the land is competing. With the scattered forces, it is easier to be defeated by Sun Quan."
Unlike Nanyang, Cao Cao mainly dealt with Liu Bei this time, and his elite strength was mostly concentrated in the area of ​​Nanyang. On the Jianghuai side, there are few soldiers. Compared with Sun Quan in terms of military strength, it is at an absolute disadvantage. At this time, Sun Quan can Divide the troops, but once they divide the troops, they will only lose faster.
"The cities along the way, the city height is less than two feet, declared that I should keep it?" Man Chong also inserted a sentence, except for the cities around Anhui County, Zhu Guang did not heed the order and died with Lu Meng and Gan Ning. He was caught alive and lost outside Lujiang. Now, their main force, although it seems that the momentum was suppressed by Sun Quan, actually there was not much actual loss. Instead, all the county guards along the county towns along the way were taken back to Hefei.
"But it can also consume some of Sun Quan's vigour. Now Jiangdong's army is full of vigour, and it may not be easy for Hefei to hold it!" Zang Ba sighed.
"That's not necessary!" Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Jiangdong seems to be advancing along the way, but its foundation is not true, I will temporarily withdraw ..."
Zhang Liao said here that he slowly clenched his fists and smiled with a little bit of coldness: "It was his arrogance that gave Sun Quan the slightest record, this time it was actually a mention of one hundred thousand soldiers to fight, I Looking at their formation, each of the three armies has its own unit, but it is not one body. This person's ability to unite is not as good as our lieutenant lieutenant! "
"Wen Yuan wanted to ..." Zang Ba looked at Zhang Liao's clenched fist and raised his eyebrows.
"In these days, I have selected 800 of the most elite warriors in the army with Berning. When Sun Quan arrives in Hefei, I will personally lead 800 dead men and break the thieves before the assembly of his army!" Zhang Liao said to the end , Eyes cold.
When the morale of the Jiangdong military reached its peak, it was beaten down. The damage caused was definitely more effective than that which must be defended in every city, and every inch of the soil must be fought for, but it is also more dangerous. If the other party is a soldier, Zhang Liao Undoubtedly, he made a self-defeating decision, even if the Chinese army could not be broken by 800 people, but Sun Quan personally led the troops. Zhang Liao was not idle these days. He carefully observed Sun Quan ’s march, but Sun Quan was not aware of it. The soldiers made this decision with Manchong and decided to lose their courage in the first battle, making Sun Quan not dare to look north!
"So, I can help Wen Yuan help!" Zang Ba looked at Zhang Liao Road.
"Okay, dare to declare Xuangao to attack me!" Zhang Liao smiled. Although Zangba was formerly known as Lu Bu's eighth general when he was under Lu Bu, he was actually defending himself, but the two were the generals. The friendship is not bad. Zhang Liao is very relieved about Zangba's ability. At the same time, he also needs someone to respond to himself.
...
On the eighth day of March, Sun Quan led the Chinese army to Hefei. Seeing that the city gates of Hefei were closed, it was expected that Cao Jun was now unable to fight. The city of Hefei was strong. Sun Quan consciously could n’t take it down. He ordered people to camp and prepare to wait for several other soldiers to arrive. Then siege.
As Zhang Liao said, this vigorous advancement has encouraged Sun Quan's arrogance, and at the same time underestimated Cao Jun. For the Hefei defending army, it is expected that the other party will not dare to leave the city. After camping, they will feast the generals.
"Wang Wu and Liu Bei sent letters." The military can't drink alcohol. Sun Quan is no longer able to pass the military. These rules are also strictly followed, so today's banquet is mostly to comfort the generals. There is no meat and no wine. Happily, more than half of the banquet, a general came in a hurry and bowed to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was in a good mood at the moment, and he smiled and said, "Presented."
After receiving the letter from the general, Sun Quan did not shy away from the crowd. After reading the letter for a while, he suddenly laughed.
"Why did King Wu laugh?" General Chen Wu smiled.
"Then Uncle Liu underestimated me General Jiangdong and sent General Zhao Yun to help out, let the lonely go!"
"How many soldiers and horses did Zhao Yun bring?" The generals heard that, but they raised their brows, worrying that this was Liu Bei's trick, and wanted to harm them. Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao are fighting in Nanyang, Jiangxia, Jiangling, and Changsha are everywhere. Arming is obviously not trusting Jiangdong, which makes everyone very dissatisfied. At the same time, he is also wary of Zhao Yun ’s coming this time. Liu Bei is now stationed in Jiangxia area with a lot of troops. If he takes advantage of their emptiness and kills them Road, that's not good.
"Only three hundred light rides!" Sun Quan shook his head: "You don't have to panic, Zhao Yun is here to help our army, but this Uncle Liu is also too small to underestimate my Jiangdong Erlang, this battle is called Uncle Huang. Look, I also have strong men in Jiangdong! "
"Wu Wang said very much!" Ling Tong smiled: "I heard that Zhao Zilong was regarded by Liu Bei as a brother and sister, but he has never seen that Zhao Yun has any record. How can he compare with Guan Zhang?"
Without the battle of Changbanpo and the rescue of Dou by cutting the river, Zhao Yun is now well-known and valued by Liu Bei, but his reputation is far less than that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. It is no wonder that Jiang Dong will be underestimated.
Sun Quan also felt that Liu Bei's move was a bit superfluous. Now he can only conquer the city of Hefei by waiting for a large army to gather. By then, the land of Jianghuai will be in his palm, and he can attack Runan in the west and cooperate with the water in the east. The army's attack on the land of Qingxu. The victory here will also have an impact on the battle of Nanyang. Cao Jun's loss of both places will certainly not be as good as before.
Although he suffered a big loss in Liu Bei ’s hands, in the past few years when Jiang Dong and Cao Cao battled, Cao Cao did not take advantage of the battle since the Battle of Chibi. This time, Jiang Dong fought against him, and Sun Quan was right at the moment. Cao Jun's combat power is somewhat despised. Although there is no cavalry, as long as he captures Xuzhou, Jiang Dongjun's momentum is probably to surpass Liu Bei. When the two one east one watermelon divide Cao Wei's land, then, when the two heroes stand side by side, As for who killed the last deer ... Liu Bei is old after all, Sun Quan is confident that he will die!
A banquet lasted until late at night, and Sun Quan had enough wine to eat, before he ordered each to return to the camp and prepare the army and horses. He waited for the follow-up army to come and attack Hefei.
On the other side, Zhang Liao kept watching the movements of Jiangdong Daying, scouting that Tao Quan had a banquet at this time, Zhang Liao couldn't help smiling to Zang Ba and Man Chong: "Heaven help me too!"
Sun Quan now apparently completely ignored Hefei Cao Jun and felt that they dared not leave the city.
"When is Wen Yuan ready to send troops?" Zang Ba looked at Zhang Liao and asked.
"Tomorrow morning, when the sky will be bright!" Zhang Liao laughed. This is also his experience of fighting and fighting in these years. At this time, it is when the night is the most intense, and it is also the most difficult time for people ~ EbookFREE.me ~ That night, Zhang Liao ordered 800 dead men to have enough food and rest early, preparing to leave the city tomorrow morning to attack that Sun Quan by surprise.
When the sky was about to dawn, the closed gate of Hefei City suddenly opened a gap. Eight hundred dead men came out of the gate like a ghost. Through the cover of night, people were wearing horses' hoofs and quietly approaching Jiangdong Camp .
Although Sun Quan did not think that Cao Jun dared to leave the city at this time, General Jiangdong, who was responsible for guarding the camp, was quite responsible, and the camp was quite rigorously guarded. However, it is not only Sun Quan who despised Cao Jun. Most Jiangdong generals have similar attitudes, plus Before dawn, it was the most drowsy day of the day. Many camp guards were drowsy at this time, and Cao Jun came by night.
These dead soldiers are all veterans of the battlefield, killing the fruit, being capable, and capable. The Jiangdong general who guarded the gate was directly in the half-sleep and half-wake room, and the throat was cut directly by the fierce dead. The gate was opened silently, but it was still alarming. Jiangdong generals who went on a night watch.
"Enemy attack!" An angry roar awakened many sleeping Jiang Dongjun, but at this moment the door was opened, Zhang Liao personally armored the halberd, and immediately killed a Jiangdong army who was oncoming ...
