Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 759

"Great!"

Yuzhang prefect Sun Fu surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Jun took the Yuzhang County without any effort.

After that, Cao Cao did not hesitate to send more than 35,000 troops, falsely claiming that the 100,000 troops were moving, and the soldiers pointed directly at Danyang County and Wu County, and they were able to attack with Xiahouyuan in one fell swoop and took the entire Jiangdong momentum in one fell swoop.

"Cao Jun has really crossed the river?"

After Jiang Qin heard the news, he knocked on his head like a heavy hammer.

"Quickly, return to Danyang!"

Jiang Qin was anxious, and immediately led the Xunjiang navy to gallop towards Wanling City.

"Duke Youtai, Cao Jun is already advancing to Danyang County, and it is known as a hundred thousand army!"

"A hundred thousand army?"

Sun Jing anxiously turned round and round: "Now in Danyang County, even if you count Gongyi your navy, there are only a few thousand people, how can you stop the 100,000 army of Cao thief?"

"Danyang County must not be able to keep it. A certain has already asked the chief governor for instructions, and then it depends on how the chief governor responds." Jiang Qin said deeply.

...

Wu County, Wu County.

Sun Quan has been very happy for the past few months, because Wu County has finally cleared the siege.

Nowadays, there are two camps outside Wuxian County, one is Cao Junyingzhai and the other is Jiangdong Military Camp.

"Chen Zhou Yu, meet the lord."

Zhou Yu bowed down and bowed: "At the end, the general failed to retake Lujiang this time. He lost his troops and lost his generals. He also asked the lord to order punishment."

Sun Quan laughed loudly, walked forward, and held Zhou Yu in a hand. He looked at Zhou Yu and said sincerely, "What did the chief governor say? It's an opportunity to be a general. Now a certain person is trapped in an isolated city, and the chief governor comes back as soon as he hears of it. Jian, what is to blame."

Zhou Yu looked up, Sun Quan's eyes were very sincere, and in a daze, this face seemed to be transformed into another person's appearance, which made him fascinated for a while.

"The Governor?"

"Ah, thank you lord!"

Zhou Yu resolutely said: "Please rest assured, you must do everything possible to defeat Cao Jun and protect my Jiangdong."

Sun Quan nodded happily: "Then the general governor will tell me how to break the thief next."

Zhou Yu nodded and clapped his hands. Some soldiers stepped forward and showed a map.

"Lord, please see."

Zhou Yu pointed to the map and explained: "Now a certain person has led 15,000 soldiers to station outside the city, forming a squabble with Wu County. Our army has gained an advantage in Wu County. No matter in terms of strength or situation, Xia Houyuan has already At a disadvantage, but someone thinks that our army cannot immediately engage the enemy."

"Why is this?"

Sun Quan was a little puzzled: "Wu County has been besieged by Xia Houyuan for more than a month. Now that the chief governor returns to his division, morale in the city is high. Isn't it a good time to break Xiahouyuan?"

After all, Sun Quan was young and energetic, and he was very dissatisfied with Xia Houyuan. He felt that since Zhou Yu's main force had turned around, it was natural to break Xia Houyuan.

Zhou Yu explained: "Lord, although our army now has more numbers than Xia Houyuan, it is limited after all. Xia Houyuan is a famous general of the Cao army, and it is difficult to defeat it urgently. Even if we can defeat Xia Houyuan, our army will definitely suffer serious losses."

Sun Quan nodded, and then said, "So, does the general governor have a better way?"

"Yes. Right now, although Xia Houyuan is strong and strong, he came from Guangling. It is a guest army, and its strength must not last. Our army only needs to wait for a while, when Xiahouyuan's grain and grass are exhausted and morale is exhausted, our army is just Master, defend your homeland, and expel Cao Jun, you will surely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Sun Quan was a little anxious. He inherited the position of Sun Ce, but he did not have the lofty prestige of Sun Ce. Therefore, he desperately needed a big victory to calm people's hearts and stabilize his position. Therefore, he hoped that Zhou Yu would attack immediately and defeat Cao Jun in one fell swoop.

But when he heard Zhou Yu’s explanation, Sun Quan had to reluctantly agree. After all, Zhou Yu’s words are well-founded and he is not easy to refute. Can't he say that he does not care for the lives of his soldiers?

"The soldiers have worked hard, so it's okay to take a break."

Sun Quan smiled again: "A certain banquet tonight is the general governor and the generals of my Jiangdong army, the general governor should not forget to come over."

"Thank you Lord."

And outside Wu County, in Cao Jun camp.

"Uncle, Zhou Yu is back, and Ma Shao said his army has nearly 20,000 people." Xia Houshang said to Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan nodded: "Well, now the number of soldiers and horses inside and outside Wuxian City has exceeded ours."

"It would be bad if Zhou Yu and Sun Quan took this opportunity to attack our army."

Xia Houshang said anxiously: "After all, our army has few people, and it is fighting outside. If the Jiangdong army launches a general offensive, I am afraid that our army is not an opponent."

"Boren, what are you worried about?"

Xia Houyuan said coldly: "Don't worry, since Zhou Yu has returned to his teacher, it means that the prime minister has already occupied Lujiang and will soon come to Jiangdong."

"When the prime minister's army comes to Jiangdong, after the two armies are combined, the strength of the army will be three times that of the Jiangdong army!"

Xia Houyuan said with a high spirit: "When our army is ready to attack Wu County, Jiangdong will calm down. What are you afraid of?"

"The Prime Minister will come?"

When Xia Houshang heard the news, he couldn't help but get excited: "That's really good news."

"However, we have to beware of the Jiangdong Army's real backlash."

Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes: "According to me, I will order the whole army to shrink the front and not continue to besiege Wuxian. If the Jiangdong army really comes to attack, it must not be challenged. You only need to hold on to the camp to defend and attack."

Xiahoushang clasped his fist and said, "No, this is going to deliver orders."

On the same day, Xia Houyuan issued an order, and all Cao troops were not allowed to order, and were not allowed to attack without authorization, and temporarily took a defensive position.

Suddenly, the offensive and defensive changes, and the arrogant and domineering before, the invincible Cao Jun suddenly became cautious and took the initiative to shrink the line. The Jiangdong soldiers who had been trapped in the city for a long time all applauded and even hoped that Sun Quan would order the Jiangdong army to come out and attack Xiahouyuan.

At the time of the assembly, some Jiangdong army civil and military generals proposed to attack Xiahouyuan in one breath and defeat the enemy, but they were all rejected by Sun Quan. The situation around Wu County turned into a confrontation between the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army, but this time the Jiangdong Army had the upper hand.

But the situation changed quickly, especially after a letter arrived in Xiahou Yuan's army, Cao Jun's morale became excited again.

"The prime minister's army has taken Yuzhang County and is attacking Danyang County. It is expected to arrive in Wu County in five days at most!"

Xia Houyuan said ambitiously: "Everyone, the day of the decisive battle between our army and the Jiangdong army is not far away!"

"The prime minister is majestic!"

"Hahaha, it's time to fight long ago!"
