Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 364: The war begins

Cao Cao did not launch any offensive for the time being. Naturally, the coalition forces could not take any action. The army on both sides fell into this quiet state of confrontation. Time passed unconsciously, and a few months passed in a blink of an eye. It was already mid-May.

At noon that day, a knight in civilian clothes rode his horse to the southern county city, took out a token and called the southern county city gate. Just as Ailang and Sun Jian were discussing the current situation in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, Sun Jian’s guards suddenly rushed in to report: "Lord Qi, the meticulous work we sent to Xiangyang is back!" The people present are all in their hearts. As soon as he moved, Sun Jian said anxiously: "Call him in!" The guard promised and ran down. After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in common people's clothing quickly rushed into the hall and bowed to Sun Jian: "The villain pays homage to the lord!"

Sun Jian hurriedly asked, "Did Cao Cao move?"

"Return to the lord, Cao Jun started to take action. Cao Cao was in the suburbs of Xiangyang two days ago, and now he has exhausted his army to go south. At the same time, Cai Hao led the navy to leave Xiangyang and head south along the Han River."

The people present were shocked when they heard this, but they also had a sigh of relief. The time waiting for Cao Jun to arrive was really difficult. Now that Cao Jun is finally about to attack, everyone feels relieved. .

Ai Lang said: "It's up to Zhou Lang now. When he eliminates Cao Cao's navy, our plan can be implemented."

At about the same time, Zhou Yu also received the news that Cao Junzheng was going southward. He couldn't help but feel happy and immediately ordered Huang Gai to pass on the order. All the navy forces immediately left the Chibi Water Village and moved towards Sanjiangkou. All of a sudden, hundreds of boats competed with thousands of sails, and the 50,000 Jiangdong naval forces covered the river and headed down towards the Sanjiangkou. The so-called Sanjiangkou is actually the entrance where Han River flows into the Yangtze River. Because it is a Sancha waterway, it is called Sanjiangkou. While Zhou Yu led the navy to Sanjiangkou, the navy led by Cai Wei was also heading towards Sanjiangkou along the Han River. In this era, the two most powerful naval forces are about to collide at Sanjiangkou.

Before the water war has started, the battle on land has already begun.

Cao Cao led an army of 800,000 to reach the city of Nanjun. Ai Lang and Sun Jian led their troops to attack at the same time, preparing to defeat Cao Cao's forward in one fell swoop to frustrate him. However, more than 100,000 horses surrounded the 60,000 army led by Cao Ren, but they were unable to defeat them. The offensive of the coalition forces, especially that of the Lu Bu army, was extremely fierce, but Cao Ren's army remained motionless like a mountain standing in the stormy waves. When the battle situation was in a stalemate, Xu Chu led 50,000 war horses to the battlefield to launch a fierce countercharge against the coalition forces. Seeing that the opportunity had been lost, Ailang immediately led his troops to resist the Xu Chu cavalry to cover the retreat of other troops. The two sides fought fiercely in the wilderness on the northern edge of the South County. They saw ten thousand horses galloping like a tide, killing lives and shaking the sky like thunder, and the two sides fighting like tigers and wolves fought fiercely, killing the sky and the earth. Although Xu Chu's cavalry was twice as large as Ailang's cavalry, he could only tie with Ailang, and he could never form a decisive advantage! Seeing that the armies had successfully retreated into the city, Ailang didn't want to waste the precious cavalry in his hands, but even led his army to retreat to the South County. Xu Chu led the cavalry to chase down the wall and was shot by the crossbowmen on the wall, and then stopped chasing and retreated temporarily.

Soon after, the main force of Cao Jun came one after another. I saw the forces like tides and flags like clouds. Cao Jun came from the north, covering the sky and the sun. The scene was very magnificent! When the soldiers of the two armies saw this scene, their faces changed slightly.

As soon as the main force of the Cao army arrived, they formed a huge camp that stretched for more than 20 miles outside the city, and then the ding ding dong dong inside the Cao army camp became a sound. It was the sound of the Cao army rushing to make the siege equipment.

Standing on the top of the city gate, Sun Jian looked at the endless stretch of Cao Jun camp outside the city as if there was no end in sight. His brows were frowned, and he looked very worried. At this time, Sun Ce, fully clothed, walked quickly to Sun Jian, clasping his fist and said, "Father, I have sent someone to investigate. Cao Jun's 800,000 infantry troops have all arrived outside Nanjun City and did not divide their troops. This saves money. We have a lot of strength." Sun Jian pointed to the magnificent Cao Jun camp outside the city, frowning and said: "Cao Jun has such a large scale, I am afraid that there has never been such a large army in the past. I only worry about not waiting. When Zhou Lang defeated Cai Hao and raided Xiangyang, we had a big defeat in Nanjun!"

Sun Ce laughed loudly. "Father, don't worry. Our army and Lu Bu's army together have 300,000 people. Although they are no better than Cao Cao's 800,000 army, we have a good place to resist the city. In terms of offense and defense, the victory or defeat is also between five and five! Besides, we don’t need to defeat Cao Jun, we just need to contain Cao Jun to create opportunities for Zhou Lang to make merit! Although I am not talented, we have at least 80% chance of winning against our army! "

Sun Jian could not help but calm down a lot when he heard Sun Ce say this.

Sun Ce clasped his fist and said: "Cao's army is so powerful that Cao Cao must think that our army is afraid to go to war. My son asked his father for orders and led an army to raid Cao Ying tonight, and he will surely catch them by surprise!" Sun Jian felt that this plan was feasible and nodded; "Good! If Ce'er is successful in this battle, although he still cannot defeat Cao Cao, it can greatly damage their morale!"

In the middle of the night, the loud ding ding dong dong in Cao Ying outside the city had calmed down, and the whole Cao Ying seemed to have fallen asleep. At this moment, the east city gate of Nanjun opened quietly. Sun Ce led a 10,000 elite to come out of the city gate. The horse picked up the bell, and the 10,000 horses barely made any eastward. Sun Ce led these ten thousand elites out of the city gate and quickly headed towards the Cao Jun camp that stretched for dozens of miles in the distance.

At this moment, Ai Lang was looking at the report that Xu Shu had just sent in his temporary residence. Xu Shu, Yanliang, etc. and 40,000 horses are currently staying with Liu Bei's army on the east bank of Hanshui River under strict guard.

Jia Xu walked into the room, saw Ai Lang was reading the letter, immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master!"

Seeing Jia Xu coming, Ai Lang handed the bamboo slips to Jia Xu, and said, "Let's take a look. This is the report sent by Xu Shu." Jia Xu took a step forward, took the bamboo slips with both hands, and looked quickly Once again, he folded his fist towards Ailang and asked, "I wonder what the lord thinks?"

Ailang frowned and said: "Although I don't like my soldiers and horses being commanded by others, since they are on the way and I am not there, I have to let Liu Bei lead the whole army! Otherwise, I am afraid that something will be missed!" Jia He clasped his fist and said: "The lord is wise!" Ai Lang asked: "Do you also agree to let Liu Bei lead our army on the east coast of Hanshui?" Jia Xu smiled and nodded, and said: "As the lord just said, now we share the same enemy. , If you can’t work together, I’m afraid you’ll really miss a major event! Even though Liu Bei is treacherous, because of his treacherousness, he will never do anything to frame our army under the current circumstances of the enemy. The lord doesn’t have to worry about this.” Ailang nodded, “Okay. I’ll write a reply immediately and ask someone to take it to Xu Shu.” Then he walked to the back and sat down, holding a pen. A reply was written on a piece of wooden slip. After checking it again, after confirming that it was correct, the messenger was ordered to call the messenger sent by Xu Shu, hand the wooden slip to him, and instructed: "Call Xu Shu and Yan Liang as soon as possible." The messenger took the wooden slip with both hands and promised. With a sound, I hurried away.

Ailang glanced at Jia Xu and asked with a smile: "Old Jia, what's the urgent matter for you to come to me in the middle of the night?"

Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists and said: "The lord is wise!" Then he said with a serious face: "That's it. Just now, Sun Ce led ten thousand elites quietly out of the East City Gate...." Ai Lang was taken aback and then understood. He smiled and said: "This Sun Ce is definitely not willing to be beaten passively. He wants to lead the elite to raid Cao Jun's camp!" Jia Xu nodded, "The lord is wise. Then Sun Ce must have thought that Cao Cao would not have expected that he would dare to lead the army. This is the reason for the attack." Ai Lang glanced at Jia Xu and asked with a smile: "Old Jia, do you have any thoughts on Sun Ce's raid?" Jia Xu smiled: "The subordinates just think that Sun Ce is planning. Although clever, I’m afraid it’s higher than Cao Cao and Guo Jia. Cao Cao has been on the battlefield and Guo Jiazhi is as deep as the sea. How could these two people not guard against an opponent’s raid? I predict that Sun Ce’s raid will not only return without success, It may even be trapped by the enemy!"

Ailang looked puzzled and said, "I said Lao Jia, since you see this, why don't you tell Sun Jian and Sun Ce?"

Jia Xu asked with a smile, "Does the lord think they will listen to me?"

Ai Lang was taken aback, thinking of the proud attitudes of the father and son Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and felt that even if Jia Xu raised an objection in front of them, the father and son would probably not listen, and might even laugh at Jia Xu for being timid and cowardly.

Ai Lang couldn't help but frowned, and said, "It's okay for the father and son to lose weight. But now we need them to deal with Cao Cao. If they lose this battle, it will be bad for us!" Jia Xu smiled: "No battle I will lose." Ai Lang immediately looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "You old fox! I must have come up with some horrible idea! Don't let it go! Say it!"

Jia Xu smiled and promised, and walked to Ai Lang to whisper. Ai Lang opened his eyes wide and looked at Jia Xu in amazement. He couldn't help but said: "Old Jia! You really are so treacherous!" Jia Xu smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise!" Ai Lang said. Laughing. Immediately, Dian Wei was called, and he sent someone to pass the order immediately.

Soon after, Sun Jian, who was waiting anxiously for Sun Ce's news at the Nancheng Gate, suddenly received a report from his subordinates: "Leader, General Lu Bujun Zhao Yunwenchou suddenly led 20,000 cavalry out of the city from the West Gate!" Sun Jian was surprised and couldn't help it. Muttered: "What's going on? Do they want to raid Cao Ying too?"
