Chapter 369 Battle for the Lujiang River ([-])

"what?"

"What did you say?"

After hearing this news, both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu turned pale with shock, with expressions of disbelief.

Lujiang is the springboard for them to enter the Central Plains, and it is also a barrier to protect the safety of Jiangdong. If Lujiang is captured, it means that many counties and counties in Jiangdong will be directly exposed to the opponent's attack. It was a nightmare, so it was a place that had to be saved.

"I didn't expect this Liu He to be so cunning. He aimed at our Lujiang County as soon as he came up, and launched a fierce offensive. If we don't care about it, even if we get Jiangxia, it will not be worth the loss, let alone Jingling, so My lord, although we know that this is very passive, we have no choice but to lead the army to help."

Although Zhou Yu was very angry after hearing the news, he still had to analyze the pros and cons, and then put forward a suggestion to help Lujiang.

"But Gongjin, didn't you just say that Liu He's main force is in Jiangxia? Why is it now in Lujiang? Do you think there is a fraud in this?" Sun Quan's blue eyes flashed, and his heart was full of doubts.

However, Zhou Yu sighed softly: "It's really hard to say, but the general thought it was Liu He's ultimate goal. In fact, my lord, think about it, what's the use of Liu He protecting Jiang Xia? It's not good for him at all. Trying his best, he will suffer in vain in the end, and once he captures Jiangxia, it will benefit him too much. He has gained an extra county out of thin air. Although this county does not seem to border his territory, once he captures Yuan Shu After Huainan, it was connected with Nanyang, and at the same time surrounded Cao Cao's forces on three sides. In addition, getting Lujiang would make him a threat to us at any time. With so many benefits, Liu He must not Will let it go."

Sun Quan thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Gong Jin's words are very reasonable. It seems that this is probably the case. If this is the case, then we will retreat and rush to help Lujiang. However, when we retreat, Huang Zu may lead the troops. Come and chase, this has to be guarded against.”

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard the words and said: "My lord expected it very well, but we have to guard against this matter. In this case, then the general will lead the dead soldiers to lay an ambush. Huang Zu doesn't want to chase him. As long as he dares to chase him, he will definitely call him It's a big loss."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll entrust everything to you, Gongjin." Sun Quan nodded, ordered the troops to retreat immediately, and then led the army to Lujiang.

Zhou Yu led the army to break the rear, and prepared a big pocket formation. As long as Huang Zu dared to catch up, he would definitely be unable to eat.

However, what surprised Zhou Yu was that Huang Zu didn't catch up this time.

"It must be that old thief Huang Zu listened to Liu He's persuasion, that's why he didn't catch up. Hmph, you're wise, otherwise Shandong will definitely give you a big gift this time." Zhou Yu looked in Jiang Xia's direction, resentful After saying a word, he led his army forward at full speed, trying to catch up with Sun Quan.

However, unexpectedly, half a day later, the sound of war drums was suddenly heard from behind, followed by the cry of killing.

Zhou Yu's complexion changed, and when he turned around, he found that the fleet led by Huang She, the son of Huang Zu, had arrived and fired a round of crossbow arrows at Zhou Yu's fleet, causing more than a thousand casualties to Zhou Yu. , Even led the army back like this.

"Damn it..." Zhou Yu yelled, but the overall situation was important at this time, and there was no need to compete with Huang She, so Zhou Yu had to accept this hidden loss and lead the army to move on.

Unexpectedly, half a day later, Huang She led his army to catch up again, and also fired a round of crossbow arrows, causing hundreds of casualties to Zhou Yu before leaving calmly.

Zhou Yu cursed again, but he could only hold back forcibly. At the same time, he personally cut off the rear and set up an ambush. As long as Huang She dared to catch up again, he would definitely recover all the humiliation he had suffered before.

However, along the way, Huang She did not catch up again, which made Zhou Yu feel relieved and aggrieved at the same time. The reassurance was that he finally did not suffer any more losses. Didn't get it back.

What happened next made Zhou Yu even more annoyed, because Sun Quan's army was attacked by Liu He's ambush just after landing.After an ambush, Sun Quan lost nearly 3000 people, and Sun Quan had no choice but to flee in embarrassment. When boarding the ship, the soldiers under Sun Quan's command killed each other in order to snatch the opportunity to board the ship. With nearly 5000 people, the Jiangdong Sun Clan has never experienced such a big defeat since its rise.This made Sun Quan feel ashamed all over his face, and all the soldiers fell silent.

"I thought that I had a heavenly book in my hand, and the abilities of the generals under my command had been greatly improved. They should be invincible and invincible, but I didn't expect that I would fall into Liu and Xiaoer's tricks as soon as I came up. Alas, now our army not only failed It is a shame to save the Lujiang River and lose troops and generals."

After seeing Zhou Yu, Sun Quan said softly to Zhou Yu with a look of shame on his face.

Zhou Yu comforted him lightly: "My lord, there is no need to be like this. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. After so many years of training, Liu and his fellow have a strong army. This is an unjust fact. Not weak, but the main advantage lies with the navy, plus this Liu He has always been cunning, this is the only reason for this defeat, but he has learned a lot of wisdom, I believe that after this time, Liu He will play any tricks Now, our army is newly defeated, and Liu He is besieging Lujiang with heavy troops. We must find a way to break the situation, otherwise Lujiang will fall into Liu He's hands, and it will be difficult to handle at that time gone."

"I wonder if Gongjin has a clever plan?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

Zhou Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Liu He is very cunning, and he has a strong army under his command, but the transportation of food and grass is difficult, and we are eager for a decisive battle, so we will fight Liu He's army in a dignified decisive battle under the city of Shu County, and then Fake defeat, use arrogance, and then deal with Liu He with ambushes, fire tactics, and heart attacks, and then invite General Zhong Yi to send troops from the city to attack from inside and outside, I believe Liu He will definitely lose this time."

"Oh? Haha, I almost forgot, Gongjin, you still have the skill of fire tricks. I believe that as long as Liu and the army are trapped in the valley, your fire tricks will definitely show their power, let them have a good taste, and help us The soldiers who died in this battle took revenge, I would like to see how rich the expressions of Liu and this little thief will be at that time?" Sun Quan's face was full of smiles, and he patted Zhou Yu's shoulder lightly. Said.
