Han Xiang

Chapter 370 Zhou Yu defeated Cao Bing with tactics

Happiness came too suddenly, which made Cao Cao a little worried.

Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao was hesitant and Zhang Liao was still waiting for a reply at the front, so he reminded him: "Ming Gong, the purpose of the negotiation is to delay the time, and it would be best to replace Sun Yi. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Han, I believe we can win in another four or five days, so it’s okay to promise for the time being.”

Cao Cao frowned: "Zhou Yu chose to exchange in Xiang'an, I'm worried he has some plans."

Guo Jia said optimistically: "Maybe it's just to save time? After all, it will be closer to Xiang'an. Zhou Yu asked to maintain the status quo. There is nothing wrong with exchanging by the Yangtze River. After all, the two generals Zhang and Cao once wiped out Lu Mian five thousand in Xiang'an. For the rest of us, he should want to keep an eye on our elites, and is worried that something will happen during the exchange."

"Wenhe, what do you think?" Cao Cao pointed at Jia Xu and asked.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and replied: "Feng Xiao has made a comprehensive analysis, Zhou Yu should mainly consider safety, but Ming Gong doesn't have to worry, Zhou Yu is entangled with our elites, Jiangdong's elites are also trapped, now we just need to send someone to guard Chaohu Lake , to ensure that there are not many boats coming to the Yangtze River that day, so they can be exchanged normally. I believe that neither Sun Quan nor Zhou Yu will take Wu Jing too much."

"Since the two military advisers have no objections, I will send someone to Xiang'an to deliver the prisoners, but there are no capable generals in Shu County, and the defenders are only three thousand."

Seeing Cao Cao frowning, Cao Xiu, a member of the clan beside him, clasped his fists and asked for a job: "My lord, don't worry, the general is willing to lead a thousand people to Xiang'an to ensure the successful completion of the mission."

"Wen Lie's courage is commendable, but you have the important task of guarding, and this matter should be left to others." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I think Han Hao will take Hou Cheng to replace him."

Cao Xiu questioned: "Hou Cheng? Is it worthy of reuse?"

Cao Cao smiled indifferently: "Hou Cheng used to be Lv Bu's cavalry general, so he must have some extraordinary martial arts skills. Although he is not as good as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he is expected to be on par with Song Xian and Wei Xu. There is no problem in doing these small things. Just follow my instructions."

"Yes." Cao Xiu asked, "How many soldiers and horses will you send them?"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and replied, "Then be on the safe side and call in two thousand troops."

"only."

Cao Xiu turned around and was about to go out when Jia Xu stopped him and reminded him: "General Wen Lie, wait a moment. Duke Ming, there are only [-] garrisons in Shu County. It's such a simple matter of changing people. How about transferring [-] garrisons? I think there are hundreds of them." It is enough, we have Wu Jing in hand, I believe the other party will not mess around."

Originally, he obeyed Jia Xu's words, but Cao Cao didn't accept them this time because he had his own ideas.

"It's better to have more people. I heard that Sun Yi is like a big brother. I'm worried that Hou Cheng won't be able to control it. A thousand guards in Shu County is enough. Even if there are any abnormalities, Wen Yuan and Zihe can still withdraw. "

"Yes"

Seeing that Cao Cao opened his mouth, Jia Xu stopped admonishing and obstructing him.

At the appointed time, Han Hao and Hou Cheng arrived at the riverside to line up.

Because it was too close to the river to greet them, there was a risk of being condescendingly shot by the other party on the boat, so Han Hao deliberately left a few feet of space for the other party to land and exchange.

Not long after, the two warships slowly docked.

Then hundreds of people came down one after another, and Han Hao believed that the leader would be Jiang Qin.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries at the beginning, and then each revealed the exchange personnel. Jiang Qin didn't know Wu's second child, but still nodded with satisfaction.

Han Hao and Hou Cheng had never met Sun Yi before, they only knew that he looked like a young general. Seeing the immature appearance of 'Sun Yi' on the opposite side, they could not make up their minds and asked Wu Er Er for confirmation.

Wu Er Er had met Sun Yi before, and now he saw that the person in front of him was a fake, and thought that in the end, he would exchange fakes for fakes. He felt that he would really return to Jiangdong one day.

With Wu's second affirmation, Han Hao immediately signaled to start the exchange. He was worried that the night would be full of dreams.

Hou Cheng escorted Wu Laoer forward, while Jiang Qin asked Ling Cao to lead Ling Tong to meet him.

When the four of them walked to the exchange point, Hou Cheng suddenly saw that Ling Tong had a short halberd around his waist, and his hands were not tied behind his back like Wu's second child, and he remembered that Sun Yi had the style of Sun Ce.

Hou Cheng clasped Wu Laoer's arm with one hand, pointed at Ling Tong with the other and reminded loudly: "Wait a minute, Mr. Sun, first throw away the short halberd around your waist. I will protect you on the road, and you don't need weapons to defend yourself."

Ling Tong moved his hands back, held two short halberds in his hands, and stared at Hou Cheng in a daze.

"All lost?"

"It's all lost."

Just when Hou Cheng nodded in affirmation, Ling Cao also put his hands around his back, grabbed the handle of the halberd and reminded in a low voice: "Do it!"

Ling Cao and Ling Tong each held short halberds, and rushed towards Hou Cheng like a tiger out of the gate.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Hou Cheng hurriedly went to undo the first knife, and at the same time held Wu's second child in front of him, and shouted sharply: "What do you want to do? Wu Jingke is in my hands."

"Go to hell, he's not Wu Jing!"

Ling Cao leaped forward and slashed at Wu Laoer's face, while Ling Tong moved to cut Hou Cheng's back.

Before Hou Cheng could resist, he was hastily cut down by the Ling family and his son.

At the rear, Jiang Qin waved his hand almost at the same time, and rushed towards Cao Jun with three or four hundred people.

Han Hao was caught off guard and was stunned. He had thought about the exchange process, but he didn't expect the other party to "recklessly commit suicide".

Three or four hundred Jiangdong rats, dare to charge two thousand tigers and wolves so forcefully?
'Sun Yi' What did that sentence mean?The Wu Jing I brought is not real?Otherwise, how dare they beheaded on the spot?

Han Hao experienced a brief moment of astonishment, and hurriedly commanded the entire army to rush to rescue Hou Cheng. If he couldn't save him, he would let these hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers die, at least to catch up with the opponent's general Jiang Qin.

Just as Cao Jun rushed forward, Jiang Qin suddenly changed his formation to the rear of the warship after receiving Ling Cao and his son.

Han Haoxin said that he wanted to escape to the boat even in such a panic situation?You, Jiang Qin, are questioning my Cao Jun's strength?He rushed to the front and shouted: "Stop the enemy from boarding the boat and kill them all for me."

clang clang clang.
dong dong dong.
Jiang Qin led the crowd to fight and leave. When they arrived at the riverside, they didn't grab the boat on the springboard. Instead, they jumped into the Yangtze River like dumplings.

Cao's army chased them to the riverside, and the two warships withdrew the gangway at the same time, leaving a distance of one or two feet between the ships and the shore.

At this moment, Han Hao realized that southerners know how to water, while northerners are mostly landlubbers.

I saw that all the Jiangdong soldiers could float and were swimming towards the position of the warship.

Han Hao was furious and shouted: "Shoot the arrows, let me shoot them to death."

Jiang Qin and the others struck down their arrows at the same time. It is difficult for the bow and arrow to hurt people when it meets the resistance of the river.

Since he was quite close to the ship, he swam to the back of the warship in a few strokes and used the ship as a cover to block the bow and arrows. The sailors on the ship dropped ropes from the back and pulled the comrades in the water up one by one.

Hou Cheng died on the spot with more than [-] halberds in his body, and Jiang Qin's men only lost a few people during the escape. This is a fact that Han Hao cannot accept.

Seeing Jiangdong soldiers being pulled onto the boat one by one, the two thousand Cao soldiers could only be helpless and furious by the river.

Just when Han Hao was in a dilemma, the scout suddenly pointed behind him and reminded in a panic: "General Han, there is an army approaching from behind, and the number is estimated to be no less than five or six thousand."

Now that Lujiang is occupied by Cao Jun, Han Hao immediately thought it was a friendly army, so he said to himself: "Could it be Wenyuan?"

Just when Han Hao was surprised, Jiang Qin's ridicule came from his ear.

"Han Hao, those are my Jiangdong soldiers and horses. You fell into the trick of the governor, and Hou Chengcheng is your fate."
