Chapter 185 Zhou Yu Gone Again
Sun Quan thought for a while, and decided to send Cheng Pu as the main general and Jiang Qin as the deputy general, and led [-] sailors to detour to the Huaihe River to Shouchun to relieve the pressure on Hefei.Both Cheng Pu and Jiang Qin are generals of the Huaisi Group, especially Jiang Qin, whose hometown is Shouchun.
However, just as Sun Quan was about to give an order, a scout suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Report! Urgent military situation!"
The scout came in and saluted and said loudly: "My lord, Gan Ning, the prefect of Jiangxia in Jingzhou, led Pang Tong, Wenpin, and Wei Yan to attack Chaisang with [-] sailors. Retreat to Chaisang, please send reinforcements quickly, my lord!"
"What?" Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, and then he became furious, "Zhang Wu, the dog thief, dares to send troops to Jiangdong, I really don't know what to do!"
Sun Quan felt insulted. You should be happy if I don't beat you. How dare you beat me back?
But now is the critical moment to fight for Huainan, Sun Quan can't spare to teach Zhang Wu, and now Sun Quan also knows how powerful Gan Ning is, plus Pang Tong, Wenpin and Wei Yan, Xu Shengzhen may not be able to defend.
If Chaisang is captured by Zhang Wu, Yuzhang County will be in danger. If Zhang Wu is allowed to guard Chaisang, Jingzhou will often harass Jiangdong in the future.
"My lord, Chaisang must be saved!" Zhou Yu also suggested.
This made Sun Quan very passive. He was very nervous about defending Hefei, and he was given a navy to control the Huaihe River.
Sun Quan finally captured Hefei, and he was definitely unwilling to give up. After thinking for a while, he sent Zhou Yu and Dong Xi to rescue Chaisang, sent Cheng Pu and Jiang Qin to lead an army of [-] sailors to Shouchun, and led Lu Su and Zhou Tai. , Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Chen Wu and others defended Hefei, while Pan Zhang led a navy to meet him at Ruxuwu.
Before leaving, Zhou Yu suggested to Sun Quan that it is enough to guard Hefei. As for Shouchun, there is no need to rush to fight. As long as Hefei is guarded and the Huai River is controlled, Shouchun will not be able to escape sooner or later.
However, after Xia Houyuan took the order to rescue Hefei, all the people did not leave the saddle, and ran to Wancheng without stopping, and told Man Chong about the frontline battle situation, and asked Man Chong to send someone to quickly send the news that Sun Quan might attack Hefei to Xudu, and then After preparing food and fodder, his thousand tigers and leopards rested for a while, and immediately set off on the road.
Afterwards, Xia Houyuan galloped all the way. He knew the truth of the speed of soldiers, so in order to avoid wasting time, he didn't even enter Runan City.Lie down on the road for a while when you are tired, and even eat on horseback as long as the horse can hold it.
After marching for half a month, Xia Houyuan finally arrived near Hefei, just in time to meet Jiang Ji and Lei Xu hiding in the nearby forest with more than 100 soldiers.
Xia Houyuan saw the other party's clothes, so it turned out to be his own, but what are these people doing here?
"I am the prefect of Yingchuan, Xia Houyuan, the leader of the army. Who are you? Why are you leading the army here?" Xia Houyuan asked.
When Jiang Ji heard that the reinforcements had arrived, he was both excited and regretful. If only you had come two days earlier!
"General Xiahou, I am Yangzhou, please don't drive Jiang Ji. Hefei City has been occupied by the Jiangdong Army. Liu Inspector Liu retreated to Shouchun. I am here to inquire about the news and wait for reinforcements!" Jiang Ji said with a sad face, not expecting his own strategy It was actually seen through by Zhou Yu, and he failed to keep Hefei.
"What? Hefei is lost? Here, what's going on?" Xia Houyuan was also a little anxious, and I rushed over desperately, almost exhausting the horse, and the result was that the city was lost!
Jiang Ji then told the story, especially when he mentioned that the opponent used a powerful catapult, the defenders on the city wall suffered heavy losses, and Zhou Yu saw through his plan again, and finally failed to withstand the Jiangdong Army's [-] troops attack.
After hearing this, Xia Houyuan couldn't blame Jiang Ji. It was indeed very difficult to defend the attack of an army of 3000 with [-] people. Moreover, Xia Houyuan had personally experienced the Battle of Rangcheng and Fancheng, so he naturally knew the power of the new catapult very well. There are top strategists and commanders like Zhou Yu in the world.
The point is, what now?If the city of Hefei had not been lost, his thousand tiger and leopard cavalry echoed the defenders in the city, enough to threaten the Jiangdong army that was attacking the city.But now there is no city to rely on, no matter how powerful his thousand cavalry are, they will not be able to attack the city. The defenders in Runan went to conquer the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who rebelled.
"How is the situation now?" Xia Houyuan asked again.
"Now that Sun Quan is leading a large army into Hefei City, unless we have [-] infantry, it will be difficult to take Hefei back." Although the Jiangdong Army is not good at land warfare, it can still defend the city.
"The prime minister's army is still in Nanyang, how can there be [-] infantry, and now there are only [-] cavalry from me. It is expected that Zhang He will arrive with [-] cavalry in ten days."
Another [-] cavalry is useless, how can the cavalry attack the city!Although Sun Quan's military ability is indeed mediocre, he is not a fool. He will definitely not be dazzled by the victory and go out of the city to fight Cao Jun's cavalry.
Suddenly, Jiang Ji thought of something, and said: "General Xiahou, I found out that the Jiangdong Army had some unusual behavior in the past two days. After Sun Quan entered the city, a navy army of more than 5000 people was led by Jiangdong General Cheng Pu to go south. There is also a navy of about [-] people led by Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, and also headed south. There are more than [-] Jiangdong navy on the Chaohu Lake, and there are about [-] Jiangdong soldiers in Hefei at this time."
Xia Houyuan was speechless again, let alone 3000 soldiers, even if [-] were defending the city, his [-] cavalry could not defeat him. Could it be that he ran so desperately for half a month, but it was useless?
But this kid named Jiang Ji has a good mind, and the trick of writing a letter to lie that reinforcements have arrived is actually very good, but Zhou Yu saw through it unfortunately.Xun You also said that Jiang Ji was quite scheming, let's see what he can do, if it doesn't work, he has to go to Shouchun.
"Don't drive, Jiang, do you have any other good solutions now?"
Jiang Ji stated his plan: "General Xiahou, the Jiangdong Army has split into two divisions. Something must have happened. Why don't we arrest a few Jiangdong Army and ask about the situation first."
"Okay, you guys wait here first, I'll catch some Jiangdong troops."
Xia Houyuan took a few personal guards to the area where the Jiangdong navy was stationed and lay in ambush for a while. When some soldiers came ashore, he rushed out and captured two alive, and then rode back quickly on horseback.
Through torture, Xia Houyuan and Jiang Ji learned that the water army led by Cheng Pu was going to detour to the Huaihe River, intending to cut off the grain and grass transportation of Cao's reinforcements.Another navy led by Zhou Yu went to support Chaisang, who was being attacked by Jiangxia's navy at this time.
Jiang Ji shouted excitedly: "General Xiahou, the Jingzhou army has really helped us this time! Since Zhou Yu is not here, I have a plan to regain Hefei!"
