"Then, what does the Governor mean?"

Han Dang originally wanted to mention the Second Bridge, but this topic was very unfriendly to Zhou Yu, so he changed it with a very quick response.

Zhou Yu looked towards Hefei with half-squinted eyes:

"Normally, when such a large formation is going to attack Hefei, Cao's troops should be stationed nearby, but Zhang Liao's camp is located ten miles south of the city, and our scouts can't get through at all, so I'm not sure whether there is a battle in Hefei."

"But there are indeed no soldiers in Shu County, and the scouts were seen heading towards Hefei."

Faced with Han Dang's sharp question, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and gave his hypothesis.

"I'm not clear about this either. General Wu has been going north for more than ten days. Has there been any news recently? Will they go to capture General Wu?"

"The last general thinks that the possibility is unlikely. If Cao Cao spends so much effort to capture General Wu, why not concentrate his forces to capture Wan County? I heard that Wan County has not been captured so far."

Han Dangxin said to the Governor, "How dare you think about it? I am afraid that this speculation will not only fail to convince the lord, but also may not be understood by any general."

Zhou Yu nodded in affirmation: "What General Han said makes sense. In short, the current situation is unclear and it is really not the time to send troops."

Han Dang said that he was inspired when he came to Wan County. As a martial artist, he didn't have much city, so he expressed what he thought of immediately.

"Grand Governor, since Wan County is still holding on, if we attack Shu County now, can we surround Wei and rescue Zhao?"

"Yes, yes."

Zhou Yu first affirmed and then denied, and continued to speculate: "But it may be that the Cao thieves spread the news and deliberately lured us to attack Shu County. We don't know what traps are waiting for us."

"But we have been standing still. How disappointed are the defenders in Wan County? I'm afraid that my lord will not be able to explain to his clan members."

At this time, Han Dang used Sun Quan's last "trick", trying to force Zhou Yu to send troops through moral kidnapping. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu had already cleverly responded.

Zhou Yu had a serious look on his face and said sternly: "In the past, when I followed Bo Fu to fight in all directions, how often did he not lead the way? We can't treat Bo Hai specially just because he is a member of the Sun family. He is holding down part of Cao's army in Wan County at this time, which is a matter of life and death for Jiangdong.

doing one's duty;

If something goes wrong if I mobilize my troops, I will be irresponsible to the thousands of soldiers and the lord. Don’t forget the battle of Xiang’an not long ago. Lu Mian has not been buried yet. Even if the defenders of Shu County only have 3,000 people.

, However, Hefei is not far from Shu County, and Zhang Liao can withdraw at any time."

Seeing that Han Dang could not convince Zhou Yu, he asked the last question:

"The Governor's concerns are not unreasonable, but we can't hide in Chaohu forever. The soldiers will slack off if they don't have a goal. You have to give us a chance to send troops, right?"

Zhou Yu said to him: "When the situation in Hefei becomes clearer, or when Zhang Liao leaves his current position, we will take action. I always feel that Zhang Liao has a conspiracy in stationing in that position. Aren't his troops very powerful? Why?

Not sent to the front line to attack the city? Does it take so long to prepare?"

Han Dang stood up and clasped his fists: "Don't worry, general. I will also send people to monitor when I come down. Once I find any changes in Zhang Liao's troops, I will report it to the governor immediately."

“Very good.”

Zhou Yu nodded slightly in greeting and said in his heart that Han Dang would ask the question on behalf of the generals today, which would save him a lot of trouble in the future.

As long as Sun Jian's old troops don't question him, Sun Ce's old troops will not question him either.

Han Dang could not persuade Zhou Yu to send troops, so his lord Sun Quan could only secretly be incompetent and furious. He said to himself that if Zhou Yu continued to act like this, he would wait until his uncle succeeded in raiding Cao's traitor's grain route and forced Cao's soldiers to return to the Central Plains in disgrace. Then I would come back to settle the accounts with you.

.

After a few days of calm, it was early June.

Zhang Liao's troops stationed in the south of Hefei City suddenly broke up their camp and headed northwest, and they were no longer full of banners as usual.

As Cao's army blocking the road left, Jiangdong's detective horses were able to approach Hefei, and the intelligence they found shocked Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers.

Now everyone knows that Cao Cao is cheating, but Zhou Yu didn't fall into the trap because he saw through everything.

Not only did Zhou Yu not lose his prestige because of Gou, but his wisdom made his image even taller.

It was a good thing to be thankful that he didn't fall into the trap, but Sun Quan never felt happy. He comforted himself that Zhou Yu was just a fluke. Maybe the Cao thieves didn't capture Cao Yu and withdrew his troops? You don't have to ask Long Yunqi to know?

Sun Quan was still waiting for good news from Wu Jing, and after Zhou Yu set up camp at Zhang Liao, he not only sent scouts to follow and investigate, but also ordered the fleet to approach the northwest corner of Chao Lake, and ordered Dong to attack and Jiang Qin to go ashore.

Zhou Yu has always been restless these days.

For several nights, I dreamed of Chen Wu, who was standing beside the bed covered in blood.

It was originally suggested that Chen Wu pretend to be Long Xiang, but now there is no news about him.

I don’t know if he and Wu Jing have reunited. If Chen Wu is in danger, wouldn’t Wu Jing be in trouble too?

Thinking of the massive mobilization of Cao's army a few days ago, Zhou Yu frowned and did not dare to think about it anymore. He had long heard that Cao's thieves liked to take risks when using troops, but he was not so unruly, right? Maybe he had really missed a good opportunity.

Except for Zhou Yu who silently reflected on himself, all the civil and military officials on both sides of Sun and Cao thought that he was a wise general.

Seeing that Zhou Yu did not take the bait, Cao Cao retreated and sought the next best thing when Xia Houyuan asked for help. He mobilized troops and horses near Zipeng Mountain to surround and kill Wu Jing, and finally even Zhang Liao's troops were mobilized to encircle and suppress Wu Jing.

Cao Cao laid out a big chess game with several flying knives in Huainan. Even if he couldn't capture Jiangdong's rook (Zhou Yu) and Shuai (Sun Quan), he would at least ensure that he captured the crappy horse (Wu Jing).

Wu Jing, a poor horse, has been like a lost dog these days. He finally made it from the difficult mountains to the plains, and got the cover of heavy rain to escape Xia Houyuan's pursuit.

Luck came relatively short-lived. Not long after the rain stopped and the wind stopped, we were intercepted by Xu Huang, Gao Lan and other troops.

The more than 20,000 Yuan Shu's old troops who followed Wu Jing were like a herd of wildebeests surrounded by lions. Some were killed in attacks during the migration, some died of injuries and illnesses, and in the end they became fewer and fewer until they all collapsed.

This group of poor people who originally belonged to Yuan Shu did not have enough to eat during Yuan Shu's period, and they still did not have enough to eat after Liu Xun. They managed to avoid trouble in Jiangdong and provided for food and clothing, but they still could not escape their fate and died in their hometown of Huainan.

Wu Jing fled in embarrassment to the end, with only two to three hundred people left around him, all of whom were Chen Wu's Lujiang Shangjia.

Cao's troops were attacking along the way, so Wu Jing had no right to choose his route.

In early June, Wu Jing led the remaining troops to flee to the northeast of Zipeng Mountain, twenty miles away from Hefei New City.

Fortunately, we are near Hefei, so can Chaohu still be far away?

Unfortunately, another Cao army came towards us.

The two banners Zhang and Cao stood in front of the military formation, a combination that Chen Wu was all too familiar with.

Two to three hundred remaining troops were defeated, and their opponents were Zhang Liao, Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? The result was obvious.

Knowing that his way out had been cut off, Chen Wu came to Wu Jing with a solemn expression on his face and made a decision.

"General, there are Zhang Liao and Cao Chun in front of us. It is impossible for us to rush through. The pursuers from behind will arrive soon. I want to fight with my brothers one last time to protect your survival and meet the lord."
