Han Xiang

Chapter 442

Sun Quan saw that he was about to achieve Sun Ce's record, so he urged all the ministries to attack fiercely under the pressure from the rear, and promised that whoever broke the city first would be granted a marquis.

The attractiveness of conferring marquises and conferring titles on princes was strong, and the generals of all the ministries under siege fought bravely to be the first, and many generals came to the front line to command in person.

However, Qiang Lu disappeared.

Ling Cao, the school captain of the bandit-breaker, supervised the battle in the city, but was shot through the throat by Gan Ning and died.

At the cost of his life, Ling Cao awakened those crazy soldiers in Jiangdong, slowing down the entire siege.

Sun Quan wanted to take the opportunity to stir up emotions, but Liu Pan led reinforcements to break through the blockade and arrive at the battlefield, making it meaningless to continue the storm.

At the time of the dilemma, Zhang Zhao believed that Huang Zu had lost a lot, and suggested that he accept it as soon as it was good.

Sun Quan then ordered the troops to withdraw and return to Wu, but there was no response from the generals. It was not until General Zhou Yu ordered the battalions that the troops began to gather and board the ships.

In the two-month offensive and defensive battle, Huang Zu's side suffered heavy losses.

After the renovation, Sha Xian reappeared in ruins. The casualties of Jiangxia's defenders were even higher than those of Jiangdong, and the casualties commanded by Sun Quan were higher in Jiangdong.

Half of the songs that Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao took back from Zhou Yu were all for Sun Quan's ambition and hegemony, and they fell under the city of Shaxian at a young age.

The embarrassment of withdrawing troops at the end of the war showed that Sun Quan's prestige in the army had fallen to the bottom.

Zhou Yu couldn't play with soldiers, and Sun Quan didn't plan to play with soldiers anymore.

Isn't it good to play to your strengths and exercise power?
Although Jiangdong withdrew his troops due to civil strife, he and Huang Zu were still alive, so they had to stay on defense.

In view of the fact that there had been no war in Huainan and Guangling for a long time, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to garrison Chai Sang to guard the Yangtze River, and ordered veteran Cheng Pu to lead his troops to Haihun to replace Tai Shici to resist Liu Pan's harassment, and led troops to Poyang to destroy Shanyue.

Sun Quan put Cheng Pu in Haihun, with the consideration of killing three birds with one stone. Cheng Pu was the hero of Sun Jian's era. In addition to guarding against Liu Pan in name, he could secretly monitor Sun Ben and Zhou Yu at the same time to ensure that Yuzhang would not have any changes.

Sun Yi became the prefect without military power and was unable to cope with the outbreak of the Shanyue Rebellion. At the same time, Sun Quan transferred Han Dang to Danyang to suppress the rebellion, weakening Zhou Yu's strength in disguise.

As for Jian'an, Hanxing, and Nanping in Kuaiji County, Shanyue made the most noise. After Sun Quan returned to Wu County, he still used Kuaiji general He Qi to conquer.

Sun Quan's deployment in Chaisang was completely unaware of the situation in Huainan, so he went straight to Wujun by boat, and passed the Ruxu waters without slowing down.

Tai Shici got the news of Zhao Fan and had to carry out the "military order" to send troops, but Liyang had only a few thousand garrisons at this time, and it was too dangerous to cross Hefei and take a shortcut to Shouchun.

Maybe if he can't wait for Sun Quan's main force, he will suffer a big loss halfway.

After discussing with Zhao Fan for a long time, Tai Shici suddenly remembered that Mei Cheng asked to surrender, so he decisively led the army around Chao Hunan, then went north to Zipeng Mountain through Shu County, and then went west to Mt.

Tai Shici thought that if he could gather tens of thousands of people, he would be more confident in going to Shouchun.

Hefei sentry had a telescope, even though Tai Shici made a big circle, he never escaped Long Xiang's surveillance.

Tai Shici sent Zhao Fan to ask for instructions by boat, but Long Xiang thought that his combined boxing plan had failed, and was planning to let his men pretend to be Jiangdong soldiers to lure Zhang Liao or Mei Cheng's men to Liyang.

At that time, Zhang Liao led his troops to Mount Yan, and Mei Cheng would definitely be unable to stop them with his strength. As long as he led his deserters to Liyang, Jiang Dong would naturally be the one to blame.

Pretending to be a Jiangdong soldier would be risky, mainly because he was afraid of being discovered by Zhang Liao, so Long Xiang was very cautious when choosing people, and finally chose the Tiger Guard Camp.

All battalions in Hefei have no problem defending the city, but if they really encounter a fight in the wild, I am afraid that only the Tiger Guard battalion has the strength to fight.

Seeing Long Xiang's tangled face, Lu Su quickly reminded: "Yun Qi, you must be constantly disturbed by it. You have to believe in the fighting power of the Tiger Guards, not to mention we still have binoculars."

"Although the Huwei Battalion is powerful, the number of people is still relatively small. I am afraid that Zhongkang's trilogy will suffer. Taishi Ziyi is not an ordinary person, so he is not so easy to be deceived." Long Xiang frowned and shook his head.

Lu Su said to him: "Because there are too few troops stationed in Liyang, Tai Shici couldn't help but be careless. Since the emperor asked Yunqi to plot Jiangdong, I think it's time to expand the army, but the immediate problem must be solved first."

"Alright."

Long Xiang nodded slightly, turned to Xu Chu and said solemnly: "Zhongkang, I know you are not afraid of Cao Jun, but Zhang Liao's troops are more than twice that of the Tiger Guards, and he has seen you in the city of Hefei, so there is a greater risk in this trip , we must make more use of the telescope, try not to confront Cao Jun head-on, remember that everything is based on temptation, and we must guard against Tai Shici's sudden attack."

Xu Chu clasped his fists and replied, "General, don't worry, the final general will be cautious."

"Ah."

Long Xiang nodded encouragingly: "Zijing was right just now. We have recuperated in Hefei for several years, and it is time to expand our military equipment. We will start from the Tiger Guard Camp later."

The battalion is the school, and the army has 800 people. Xu Chu's more than a thousand tiger guards are already overstaffed, so he can't help showing doubts.

"How to expand?"

"Directly expand the battalion into an army."

"only."

Xu Chu clasped his fists with a happy face, a regular army of 3000 to 5000 men, but the princes did not strictly follow this rule, and set up other ministries to resolve the excess, expanding the ordinary army to [-] men.

Lu Su told Xu Chu the details of the march as usual, but in the middle of the conversation, he heard noises from the direction of the camp gate.

Xu Chu frowned while listening to the lecture, curious Long Xiang turned to go out to check, and suddenly found Cao Xing running with a whip in his hand.

Long Xiang thought that there must be new information, so he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

Xu Chu's army was relatively strict. Although Cao Xing was at the same level as him, he could not run horses in the Tiger Guard camp.

When Lu Su heard the sound of horseshoes, he stopped talking at the same time. When he and Xu Chu caught up with Long Xiang, Cao Xing had already reported the military situation.

"Zhongkang doesn't need to raise troops anymore, Tai Shici estimates that he will send troops soon."

Long Xiang finished speaking to Xu Chu with a smile, then turned around and told Cao Xing: "If my prediction is correct, Taishi Ci will definitely take a detour to find Mei Cheng, but if he doesn't act according to common sense, we need our intervention and guidance. You and Xingzuo continue to cooperate closely to ensure the smooth flow of information on land and water, go."

"only."

Glancing at Cao Xing's hurried back, Lu Su looked at Long Xiang suspiciously.

"what's the situation?"

"Zijing, you will never guess what the people we followed found."

"If Yun Qi doesn't tell, how would I know?"

"They found a large fleet, and the flags of Sun and Zhou were flying on the ships, which means that the battle of Jiangxia is over. Tai Shici's people turned around immediately when they saw the fleet, Zijing, your plan was wrong. "

"it turns out."

Lu Su swallowed his saliva, with a disbelief on his face, then shook his head and added: "I didn't have confidence in pretending to be Sun Ben, but we are lucky enough. If Sun Quan really came to Huainan for reinforcements, Cao Cao might have to lead his troops south again. It depends. Come to make trouble in heaven."

Long Xiang shook his head lightly: "Tai Shici's people didn't meet with the fleet, Sun Quan may not know that there is a war in Huainan, and it will depend on who is stronger, Zhang Liao or him."

"If my prediction is correct, their two armies will meet at Mount Xun, but Tai Shici is not familiar with the terrain, so he may suffer a big loss." Lu Su said, frowning.

Long Xiang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if he suffers a loss, if he doesn't suffer a little, I have no chance."
