Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Since Sun Ce was attacked last time, he has been in a coma. All the big and small things in the army are all false orders from Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce is the soul of the army, if the news of his unconsciousness spread, the morale of the army would be severely damaged.

But now the situation in Yangzhou has changed suddenly. At this time, some decisions are beyond Zhou Yu's control, such as leading the army back to aid.

As long as Jiangxia's soldiers and horses move, Wei Yan's army will definitely launch an attack. If it is not good to return to aid, they will fall into a two-line battle, or they will have nowhere to return.

Zhou Yu supported his temples, and said slowly: "Yangzhou is the foundation of our army, and there is no room for loss, but Wei Yan will never stop at Jiangxia. I don't know how to choose."

What Zhou Yu has always shown is incomparable self-confidence, which is rare to see.

Cheng Pu said, "Governor, you haven't reached this level yet. Li Jun just took the advantage by surprise. Otherwise, he will lead an army back to help."

Seeing that Cheng Pu and the others hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter, Zhou Yu shook his head and asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you need to take with General Cheng?"

Jiang Xia, at this time there are more than [-] soldiers and horses. It is not a big problem to transfer [-] to [-] troops, but can [-] to [-] troops stop Yangzhou's defeat?

Zhou Yu didn't know what other people thought, but he knew in his heart that [-] to [-] yuan was just to send some military exploits to Li Jun, and it was of no use at all.

Cheng Pu thought for a while and said, "It doesn't take much. If the general takes away [-] troops, he should be able to stop Li Jun's offensive."

"Should?" Zhou Yu said with a helpless smile, "Although [-] soldiers and horses are not many, the governor may let you try, but if Yangzhou loses a few places, no one can bear the consequences."

Hearing this, Cheng Pu fell silent. He was not sure of victory, but he saw Zhou Yu was in a difficult situation, so he took the initiative to invite Ying.

A dead end, a complete dead end.

Li Huiyi had become the real overlord now, and it was impossible for him to survive under his pressure. He had to either be destroyed or surrender.

After a long time, Zhou Yu said slowly, "If you ask Cao Cao for help, do you think he will do it?"

Cao Cao has left [-] to [-] troops in Jingzhou. If he can send troops to drag Wei Yan down, there is really a glimmer of hope.

Huang Gai agreed and said: "It is possible to try this, but it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. I am afraid that Yangzhou will be completely lost by then."

Seeing that everyone had hope for Cao Cao's dispatch of troops, Zhou Yu's face recovered, but his heart remained the same.

Asking Cao Cao for help, Zhou Yu didn't give much hope at all, but just comforted everyone, because Cao Cao had already sent troops to send troops if he wanted to take action.

It is impossible for Cao Cao to understand, but under Li Jun's massive attack, he did not move at all. Either his own troops were insufficient, or he had reached some ulterior agreement with Li Huiyi.

The latter, Zhou Yu was more inclined, because even if Cao Cao had no troops, he would definitely put on a show, and he would never be like this, but Sun Jun needed a verbal ally to help him at this time.

"What about this? General Lao Huang and General Cheng led an army of [-] to rush back to Yangzhou for support."

Eighty thousand?

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai glanced at each other, Jiang Xia's troops had been drawn down by half, if Wei Yan attacked regardless, it would be bad luck.

However, there are too few soldiers and horses, and Cheng and Huang are not sure. In their hearts, Yangzhou's status is naturally higher than that of Jiangxia.

"Yes."

"Yes."

The two took the order to leave, Zhou Yu thought for a while, and ordered the remaining army to spread more flags in order to confuse Wei Yan, and then quietly arranged a large number of flammable materials in some important places in the city, making a double plan.

Outside Jiangxia, a large number of barren hills have been plowed into farmland. Although they can't be planted at this time, there are still some busy tasks such as diverting water into canals.

At the edge of the farmland, Wei Yan was sitting and resting in a long robe with beads of sweat on his face. He felt in high spirits this time without a fight.

Fortunately, there is still ground to dig, otherwise Wei Yan might be suffocated and sick. Yangzhou is very hot, and he is very envious.

"Da da da……"

"General Wei, Jiang Xia sent a message saying that Sun Jun sent troops back to aid Yangzhou." Liao Hua hurried over and told Wei Yan the news he had just received.

"Huh? Really, tell me how many troops have gone?" Hearing the news, Wei Yan stood up and asked excitedly.

"It seems that the number is quite a lot. The news sent back only has a rough idea, at least [-] or more."

[-], that is to say, Jiang Xia has less than [-] soldiers and horses, so he can fight.

With a smile on Wei Yan's face, he hurried back to the Tuntian camp, attracting discussions from everyone.

Being summoned urgently, everyone knew in their hearts that Jiang Xia must have changed.

Wei Yan made a simple and clear statement, and said impatiently: "Everyone, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is just when our army has made great achievements. The general decided to lead the army to attack Jiangxia."

As a general since ancient times, what he thought about was how to make contributions. Wei Yan was so impatient, and no one objected to it in this situation. After all, they were farming and were ready to attack at any time.

But Yan Pu, who was a conspirator, thought a little more than them, and said: "League commander, the army is transferred away, this land can't be deserted, otherwise the painstaking efforts of the past will not be in vain."

Wei Yan replied without thinking: "Just leave this to Zhuge Liang, he should have a solution."

"It's fine, but Zhou Yu may have someone behind him. I'm waiting for a weapon, but I haven't replaced it. I need to be cautious when marching."

Jingzhou is separated by Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and it will be impossible for a while to change their outfits. Besides, they will not be able to turn to them for the time being if they are arranged according to the distance.

Although Wei Yan is anxious to make meritorious service, he also knows that when marching and fighting, he is afraid of being careless. "Don't worry, sir, Yanke doesn't want to regret this final unification battle."

"Mr. Liao, your troops can set off and advance slowly. If Sun Jun comes into battle, just stop and stick to it."

"Yes."

"Cai Tuan Zhang, Zhang Tuan Zhang, your navy will start from the waterway and approach Jiang Xia directly. It will draw Zhou Yu's energy. If you have the opportunity, you can attack on your own."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Chapter 785

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were assigned to lead the navy after Wei Yan took over Nanyang County, but their positions were not high.

This was also Wei Yan's helpless move. If it weren't for the fact that no one in the navy was available, he would not have used Cai Mao, so he could only suppress them in position as much as possible, so as not to threaten Li Shu in the future.

And Cai Mao and Zhang Yun didn't complain because they were new voters. Although their official positions are small, they can at least lead an army. It's good that they haven't been left idle.

Even if Zhou Yu has a brilliant plan, in the face of absolute strength, he should not be able to make waves, and besides, he is not incompetent on his side.

In order to be on the safe side, Wei Yan thought about it, and decided to let Huang Xu lead another army to set off first, and he was at the end, ready to respond to emergencies.

Wei Yan's army moved quickly, Zhou Yu also heard the news, and did not send troops to fight, but kept the original state and stopped quietly.

In this way, Li Jun naturally arrived at Xiling City in Jiangxia County without hindrance. Faced with Sun Jun's unmoved, the vanguard Liao Hua did not dare to attack rashly, for fear of falling into the trap.

The two sides spent several days in peace, and with the arrival of Wei Yan and others, the siege battle officially started.
