Wait until daybreak, dawn.
As Zhang Liao led eight hundred tigers and horses back to the city, Wu Jun's camp finally returned to tranquility. To be precise, it should be dead silence!
Countless skeletons filled the camp with principles. A large amount of burned baggage was still crackling and burning.
There was silence in the camp for a long time! a long time!
Someone suddenly cried out, and immediately after, countless hoarse screams and cries of pain resounded over the Wu Army camp.
When Sun Quan, whose face was full of smoke and dust, fled and returned to the camp, he felt as if he had been cut off from a large piece of flesh and blood.
But after all, Sun Quan was worthy of being a hero in troubled times. In an instant, he supported his tired body, took the initiative to climb up to the high platform, and raised his arms.
He delivered an impassioned speech in an attempt to arouse the fighting spirit of the Wu soldiers.
However, Wu Jun, who was defeated by Zhang Liao, had already lost his fighting spirit, so there was no hope of rekindling his fighting spirit.
The result is obvious. No matter how hard Sun Quan tried, the morale of those Wu soldiers was still low and they were restless all day long.
Seeing that he could not arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the camp, Sun Quan tried another plan after his first plan failed.
Although nearly ten thousand of the one hundred thousand Wu soldiers were slaughtered by Zhang Liao and others, thousands of soldiers and horses took advantage of the night to abandon their helmets and armor and fled to the mountains and became deserters and bandits.
Even if he loses two out of ten, Sun Quan still has a total of 80,000 Wu soldiers under his command.
Therefore, Sun Quan wanted to rely on the human sea tactic to quickly capture Qu'acheng to avenge the bloody attack on the camp and revive the morale of the Wu army.
Unexpectedly, when they attacked the city, they discovered that Zhang Liao had already set up defenses in Hefei City for a long time, preparing a large number of rolling wood, stones, and golden arrows.
Even if Sun Quan used 80,000 Wu soldiers to attack the city, it was difficult to capture Hefei for a while.
This fierce offensive and defensive battle in Hefei lasted from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, over and over again, lasting three days and nights.
Both of them suffered heavy losses.
The east gate tower of Hefei City was captured several times by a large number of Wu troops, but was recaptured by Zhang Liao's army many times.
The bones of both sides were piled up like tombs.
Rivers of blood flowed from both sides, and the blades were still fishy.
The entire city of Hefei shrouded in flames of war was like a ghostly and bloody city, with the wind howling during the day and ghosts crying and wolves howling at night.
In the Wu army's formation, Sun Quan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, looking at the city of Hefei shrouded in blood.
It made him feel exhausted physically and mentally, because he knew that his chance of going north to the Central Plains had almost been completely cut off.
Even if he now uses all his troops to capture Hefei City at all costs.
But what happens after that?
How many troops do you have left?
Sixty thousand?
Or fifty thousand?
Or forty thousand?
With this small number of soldiers and horses, he wanted to cross the Yangtze River and invade Xuzhou, which was Gaoyi. This was tantamount to seeking death.
Zhang Liao, who guarded Hefei City, was just an unknown member of Gao Yi's army.
What if we encounter Gao Shun's trapped camp, Yuan Zuozong's Snow Dragon Cavalry, or Chu Lushan's three thousand light cavalry?
After weighing the pros and cons, Sun Quan finally gave up and decided to preserve his strength and withdraw his troops from Jiujiang County for the time being.
But before that, Sun Quan came up with a brilliant idea, which could minimize the losses of this expedition and even make a slight surplus.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but secretly glance at Liu Kai next to him from the corner of his eye.
"Master Liu, Hefei City is an important town in Huainan. The city is high and the city is strong. It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now that we have been fighting for days and cannot attack for a long time, the morale of the army is low. Why don't we retreat temporarily?"
Liu Kai smiled bitterly and said: "Marquis Wu, Hefei City is the fortress of Jiujiang County and is adjacent to Lujiang County. If we abandon it, the enemy will definitely use Hefei City as a base to invade our Lujiang County from the south!"
Sun Quan shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Liu, please don't misunderstand me. My intention is to temporarily abandon Hefei City, and our two armies will cross the Feishui River together and head for Qu'a City."
"At that time, we will merge with Zhou Yu. We only need to besiege but not attack, and adopt the strategy of encircling the point and calling for reinforcements. Then we can wait for work and wipe out all the reinforcements from the high-ranking thieves."
"When the high thief is isolated and helpless, and the food and grass in the city are exhausted, it will be the time for the high thief to die. Not to mention seizing the city of Hefei, even seizing the entire Jiujiang County, or even the entire Xuzhou, will be easy. "
After listening to Sun Quan's deception, Liu Jie suddenly felt like he was enlightened and enlightened.
"Okay! Then according to Wu Hou's words, let's cross the Feishui River together tomorrow, rush to Qu'acheng, encircle the point to provide reinforcements, and kill the high-ranking thieves."
…
The next morning, Xiaoyao Jinkou.
Sun Quan was sitting on his horse, standing on the rocky beach, looking at the tens of thousands of horses preparing to cross the river.
This river crossing was divided into ten batches.
When Liu Kai arranged for the Lujiang soldiers in the camp to cross the Feishui River by boat, Sun Quan suddenly invited him to go, saying that he had important matters to discuss.
"Marquis Wu, you just ordered someone to send a message saying that you have military affairs to discuss. What's the important matter?"
Before Liu Kai could finish speaking.
I saw hundreds of Wu army officers and soldiers surrounding them, who had already taken the initiative to move closer and formed a circle, surrounding Liu Kai.
Liu Kai's heart suddenly suddenly felt bad.
"Wu Hou, what do you mean by this? If there is nothing important, I will return to the camp and organize a large army to cross the river."
Sun Quan smiled warmly and said: "Crossing the river is a major military matter, why should we rush it? I heard that Mr. Liu has a treasure that he always carries with him. I happen to be short of money recently. I wonder if you can give it generously?"
"Marquis Wu said that it doesn't matter. As long as it is something I own, I will give it to you with all my money. Not to mention a treasure, even if it is a concubine that Marquis Wu wants to take, I will give it to you!"
"Just a concubine! What I want is not something else, but the head on your neck."
Hearing these words, Liu Jie suddenly felt a biting chill in his heart.
Just when he was about to call for help, a cold light suddenly appeared and passed through Liu Kai's neck.
Suddenly, a dead head rolled down from Liu Kai's body and hit the ground heavily.
Looking at Liu Kai's head, Sun Quan said with a sinister smile: "Master Liu, actually I don't want to kill you. It's just that the high thief's soldiers are so fierce that I can't defeat you. I really can't defeat you!"
"When I subdue the more than 30,000 Lujiang soldiers under your command, I will give you a few sticks of incense on every Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival to express my gratitude for your gift of your head today."
"Commander, you rush to the camp of the Lujiang soldiers and tell them that a small group of enemy troops just came for a sneak attack. Unfortunately, Mr. Liu Kai was killed and his head is missing."
"Let all the generals in their army come and collect the body for Mr. Liu."
Just after the messenger left.
Sun Quan put on a gloomy face and shouted to the hundreds of guards around him:
"Later, you all prepare your strong bows and crossbows. When the generals from the Lujiang army arrive in this open area, shoot them all with random arrows and kill them all here."
"Remember... leave no one behind!"
Just as Sun Quan was plotting to kill the Lujiang generals.
Little did they know that the scene of their actions had already been seen by the wolf mounted scouts who were hiding in the dark.
Not long after, Zhang Liao learned the news after galloping all the way to report.
I want to attack, but I am afraid that there is some fraud involved.
In the end, Zhang Liao decided to lead eight hundred tiger cavalry to Xiaoyaojin for another trip.
When Zhang Liao came to Xiaoyaojin Ferry.
By chance, he saw many generals from Lujiang County being led by Sun Quan to an open area and collecting Liu Ke's body for burial.
During this period, a Lujiang general felt that something was fishy. When he was about to question Sun Quan, he found that Sun Quan had sneaked away while they were collecting the body.
Only the remains of them and Liu Kai were left here.
