Han Xiang

Chapter 341 What went wrong?

"Ah."

Sun Quan nodded in agreement, agreeing to Wu Jing's suggestion.

Cao Cao was a figure in Sun Jian's era, and he stood out in that era and was the best in the battle for hegemony. Sun Quan was nervous when he faced such a strong man so quickly.

When Sun Quan bowed his head in thought, Wu Jing gave orders on his behalf.

"There are only [-] Cao troops in Xiang'an. You should eat them before you are ready. General Lu, you should take your troops and horses to land first, and go around to block the enemy's retreat. Zhongmou and I will arrive later. Ten times as many troops will definitely win."

"Okay, I happen to avenge Ji Ling."

Lu Mian, Zhang Xun, Ji Ling, and Qiao Rui are the four most powerful generals under Yuan Shu's command. Because they stay in Shouchun most of the time, the other three are not famous to the outside world.

Not only are he and Ji Ling in the same robe, but the two families are also related by marriage. At this time, he has the opportunity to avenge his in-laws, so he gladly embraces his orders and goes away.

After all, Wu Jing is a veteran on the battlefield. Even though Jiangdong's military strength is ten times that of Cao's now, he is still not careless in his heart. Just now, he "uttered wild words" to motivate the soldiers.

Lu Mian commanded his troops to leave the brigade, and Wu Jing secretly called Lu Meng to his side, and whispered, "Ziming, Cao's use of troops is not unusual. Even if we take back Xiang'an now, I don't have the confidence to defeat the main force. Go quickly to Guangling and ask Zhou Lang to come to help, such a powerful enemy must go all out."

"Uh yes. Only."

Lu Meng first agreed with all his mouth, and then showed a tangled expression, and asked in a low voice: "My lord often has orders, will the general ask for instructions?"

"No need." Wu Jing stretched out his hand and interrupted: "I will tell Zhongmou that the military situation is urgent now, so Ziming should leave as soon as possible."

"Wei." Lu Meng cupped his fists and accepted the order.

Wu Jing watched Lu Meng walk towards the bottom of the big ship, and said to himself that outsiders would not be able to see Zhongmou's relationship with Zhou Lang. As his uncle, I knew it too well. Back then, Sun Quan had followed his mother to take refuge in him, and he had already seen this child. The mind is not so heavy.

Regardless of Zhou Yu's starting point for leading the army to King Qin, the seeds of doubt will definitely be planted in Sun Quan's heart. In addition, after hearing the rumors that Zhou Yu overthrew Sun Quan's Shiding, Wu Jing can be sure that Sun Quan has an opinion on Zhou Yu.

As for Zhou Yu himself, Wu Jing believed in his loyalty, and both of them followed Sun Ce to conquer Jiangdong, and established a bond of brotherhood with each other.

At this time, Cao Cao attacked Zhou Yu's hometown Lujiang, and Wu Jing believed that Zhou Yu would come to support him both public and private.

From Ruxu Shuikou to Xiang'an County, it takes half a day by land, but only two hours by boat by water.

Because it was going up against the current, Lu Mian led the soldiers of his headquarters to rush to the rear in light boats, and soon left the main ships of Wu Jing and Sun Quan, and landed half an hour earlier.

Wu Jing followed closely as planned and landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River twenty miles southeast of Xiang'an.

When the soldiers of various ministries disembarked and assembled, Wu Jing stopped Sun Quan on the deck of the main ship, and advised him: "These warships are the lifeblood of our Jiangdong, and they cannot be attacked like Shaopi. If you can get it back, please ask Zhongmou to sit on the ship and command it, and I will make a fuss after I have tested the truth."

"also."

Sun Quan nodded in response, and when he saw Wu Jing turned around, he called out again, reminding him: "Uncle, Cao Cao has a well-equipped tiger and leopard cavalry, when you use troops, pay attention to the left and right wings, don't let this cavalry tear up the formation. "

Wu Jing waved his hand lightly: "Don't worry, Zhongmou, we have almost ten times the strength of our troops. If the tiger and leopard cavalry really come to Xiang'an, they will be trapped in the city and useless."

"Anyway, be careful."

"I can save it."

After accepting Sun Quan's "nagging", Wu Jing quickly prepared his troops and marched towards Xiang'an. He has been in the army for many years. When we drove to Lujiang, Jiangdong was at a loss at this time.

In May, the sky on the Yangtze River was clear, and the banks of the Yangtze River were full of vitality and pleasant scenery. The large group of people left the ship and went ashore for a long journey. Sun Quan was like a left-behind child, walking up and down on the deck bored.

Apart from what Huang Yi saw with his own eyes in Xiang'an, the information Jiang Dong had at this time was just a few words left by Chen Lan before. This feeling made Sun Quan doubtful, wondering how many Cao thieves had come?

Sun Quan paced back and forth on the deck, sometimes looking at the hazy scenery on the other side of the river, sometimes gazing at the direction of Wu Jing's march into Xiang'an, and kept repeating the scene of last year's defeat in Shouchun in his mind.

At this moment, Sun Quan suddenly realized, shouldn't Cao Cao fight Yuan Shao?How did you drive the army to Huainan?This is completely contrary to my plan, what went wrong?
Soon, Sun Quan thought of Chen Lan.

It's all on his own initiative, if he hadn't defeated Xiahou Dun in Zipeng Mountain, how could Cao thief go south?

Thinking of this, Sun Quan suddenly saw Huang Yi and his two followers fishing at the stern of the boat on the bottom floor, talking and laughing, feeling very comfortable.

In front of the enemy, they actually want to fish?
So careless, how to compete with Cao thief?The soldiers who stay behind must be tightened.

Sun Quan did what he thought, walked quickly to the bottom and appeared behind Huang Yi.

"Brother-in-law is so at ease."

"Lord!"

When Huang Yi heard that it was Sun Quan's voice, he hurriedly threw the fishing rod aside and saluted respectfully.

Although they are both Yuan Shu's sons-in-law, Sun Quan can call Huang Yi's brother-in-law, but Huang Yi dare not call Sun Quan's brother-in-law, and it seems too kind to call Biao.

Sun Quan glanced at the fish basket next to him, and found that there was nothing in it, so he asked with a half-smile, "What? Is it hard to fish here? Why is there no fish? Brother-in-law, do you want to move to a quiet place?"

"no, I'm fine."

Huang Yi heard that Sun Quan was talking ironically, he waved his hands and shook his head and tried to deny it, and then explained with a smile: "I don't know how to fish in the first place, but I just sat here basking in the sun, and I took a fishing rod to play with. "

"Basking in the sun?"

Sun Quan secretly thought that Huang Yi would not even lie. The sun had already tilted westward at this time, and he should go to the bow of the boat instead of the stern if he wanted to bask in the sun.

Seeing Sun Quan's expression, Huang Yi immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained: "The position of the bow is too conspicuous, I don't want to set a bad example."

Sun Quan nodded slightly: "If you know it's not good, you're right. Don't forget that the opponent is Cao Cao. You can't be careless. If the officers and men of the ships are so slack, they will suffer if they encounter an enemy attack."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Huang Yi lowered his head, admitting his mistake very well.

Seeing Yuan's face, Sun Quan didn't care too much about Huang Yi, but changed the subject and asked: "Before you got the information, Chen Lan withdrew from Shu County as soon as possible, so did he reveal how many soldiers Cao Jun has?" people?"

"No."

Huang Yi shook his head, "However, General Chen has more than ten thousand soldiers. If he abandons the city so resolutely and flees, the total strength of Cao's army should not be small."
