Jingzhou, Lingling County.
Wenpin led a team of 30,000 people on the mountain road.
These 30,000 people all had solemn expressions and were well equipped with armor. Due to their high morale, they were marching very fast.
Wenpin looked back with satisfaction and felt happy in his heart. Beifu General Cao Wu decided to provide disaster relief. There were countless people alive in the northern part of Jiangxia. This was really a good thing that benefited the country and the people. Now he raised his arms, and there were thousands of followers from several counties in the northern part of Jingzhou. Let him do his job as the governor of Jiangxia extremely smoothly.
Zhao Yan, the governor of Jingzhou, personally accompanied the army and marched alongside Wenpin. He was more satisfied with this situation and knew that the moment he led the seven armies from the capital to meet Cao Wu, he had truly met a noble man.
The governor, who was in his thirties and in full swing, chatted with Wenpin about some interesting things while walking.
Zhao Yan knew that Wenpin was a surrendered general in Jingzhou and had no foundation, so he tried his best to win over him and tried to make him follow Cao Wu's lead like himself. Now that he had some success, Wenpin really took Cao Wu's matter as a big deal. .
Once the 30,000 reinforcements enter Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou will be in a different situation.
At this moment, suddenly, a shout came from the forest in front.
Wenpin was experienced in many battles, and Zhao Yan was good at supervising the army. The two immediately knew that the situation had changed and waved to stop the marching team.
Wenpin frowned and said, "This place is close to Jiangdong Yuzhang. Could it be that Jiangdong's troops are ambushing here?"
Zhao Yan nodded and said: "Our army has a large number of people and we cannot conceal our march. I am afraid Jiangdong will see through the itinerary."
"Captain Cheng Pu is in charge of the Jiangdong defense line. I wonder if he has arrived."
"However, the road above these two mountains is difficult. If I lead my army to ambush here, I am afraid that many people will die when we climb up. If I were the commander, I would definitely not choose this place."
The two of them were on alert, and while they were discussing, they saw a horse walking out in front of them, and a man dressed as a scholar sat down immediately.
When the man saw the two generals, he laughed loudly and said, "Lu Zijing has been waiting here for a long time."
"Lu Su?"
Zhao Yan and Wenpin looked at each other. Although Lu Su did not actually command the army in Jiangdong, he had a transcendent status and was a close confidant of Sun Quan. Both sides worked closely with each other. They both knew that Lu Su's main responsibility now was to build the bridge between Yangzhou and Jingzhou. The fortifications, somehow got here.
"Are you waiting for us? Can you stop my 30,000-strong army with your craftsmen?"
Wenpin narrowed his eyes and glared coldly.
"Of course not."
Lu Su smiled and said: "Lu only needs to stop you for three days. After three days, Jiaozhou will decide for itself. You two can go or stay as you like."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yan and Wenpin both looked serious. It seemed that Lu Su should know some news. Perhaps the battle of Jiaozhou had reached the most critical moment.
However, although the two of them looked wary, they did not spare their words, especially Wenpin. He laughed loudly and said: "Let Mr. Cheng Pu come here, maybe you can stop me, but you are far behind!"
After saying this, he was about to lead his army to charge. Zhao Yan was used to being a governor and was always cautious. He grabbed his armor and said, "General, don't be impatient. Let's see what he plans!"
As he spoke, Lu Su clapped his hands lightly. Countless figures appeared on the cliffs on both sides, and many figures had things like wood and rolling stones in their hands.
"Are you actually ambushing me here?"
Zhao Yan felt his scalp numb. With so many people climbing up such a cliff and transporting things up there, how many people would have died during this period?
And how much careful planning is required to accomplish this secretly?
"Lu Zijing..."
Wenpin exclaimed, stroking his long knife, and for the first time he showed respect for the scholar in front of him.
Lu Su shook his head and said with a smile: "You two only need to wait here for three days. We will not interfere with the river. After three days, I will retreat. In this way, there will be no need for swords to cross between the two sides. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"
Wenpin Jiangdao raised his sword and interrupted him: "My benefactor's troops are waiting for reinforcements. I must go. No nonsense, if you want to fight, we will fight!"
This time, Zhao Yan didn't even stop him, Wenpin had already rushed out.
"General!"
Zhao Yan had no choice but to lead his army to follow him.
In this period of history, there were two famous peacemakers, one was Lu Su and the other was Zhao Yan. Now the two are about to meet.
The smile on Lu Su's face remained unchanged, he stopped talking nonsense and just clapped his hands again.
Behind him, many Jiangdong soldiers and horses also emerged.
Zhao Yan analyzed in his mind as he rushed: "Lu Su is here, where is Cheng Pu? Could it be that this ambush was the work of Lu Su alone? How could Lu Su be so powerful if he is not good at military affairs?"
When he looked up again, Lu Su had already disappeared into Jiangdong's army and horses with a smile on his face, as if a drop of water had merged into the sea.
"A troublesome opponent."
Zhao Yan sighed and raised his sword. Although it was troublesome, he was not afraid. He was a governor who fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield. Infected by Wenpin, he suddenly became heroic.
"Boom!"
On the mountains on both sides, rolling logs and stones rolled down, and Wenpin went straight to Lu Su as if he didn't know.
And Lu Su had long since disappeared.
Wenpin was halfway through his charge when the road was finally blocked. He had to rein in his horse and sigh.
Zhao Yan came over, and the two of them looked at the broken road in front of them with solemn expressions.
I'm afraid, as Lu Su said, it will take three days to pass here.
…
Later generations, far-fetched, believed that there were four heroes in Soochow, namely Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun.
Now the other three are commanding the battle on the Jiaozhou battlefield, and Lu Su has also taken action.
As soon as he took action, Cao Wu's reinforcements were cut off.
At this moment, Cao Wu didn't know this yet. He looked at the Jiangdong reinforcements flag rushing in the distance. He was shocked at first, then smiled, and then shook his head, and said helplessly: "What a big deal, Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou, it turned out that he made such a move." It was a big game of chess that deceived everyone.”
Diao Chan bit her lip, looked into the distance worriedly, and murmured to herself: "He is actually the leader."
It's him. The flag hanging high in the reinforcement formation means that the person coming is Cheng Pu, the right governor of Jiangdong during the Battle of Chibi. Now he is supposed to lead the army to defend Cao's army's Jingzhou and Jiangxia defense lines!
"It turns out that the feud between Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu is fake, and the checks and balances are also fake. Sun Quan made up such a lie, all to deceive me and everyone in Cao Ying, making us think that Cheng Pu was in the Yangtze River and not in Jiaozhou. .”
Cao Wu laughed, but immediately felt something was wrong.
"No, it is true that Zhou and Cheng are at odds. From what I saw in Jiangdong, Cheng Pu would not obey Zhou Yu's orders. It must have been Sun Quan who suppressed him. It is also true that checks and balances are just for the sake of Jiaozhou. Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Cheng Pu are temporarily United. I'm afraid all the elites in Jiangdong are here, so we can attack the east and the west with one move. This time, we have fewer people with us."
Diao Chan was still thinking, but after hearing Cao Wu's analysis, she immediately said nervously: "All the elites are here, what should we do now? What should we do?"
She was obviously very worried and asked twice.
Both of them figured out that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, but Xing Daorong's death proved Cao Wutian's strategy of avoiding horse racing, and also proved that he had no other available generals on the West Bank.
Except for Zhang He, Zhou Yu had seen the flags of all the famous generals in Cao's southern expedition. However, Jiangdong's army must know that Zhang He was seriously injured before and was forced to come this time, so he may not be able to do it.
As the death of Xing Daorong exposed the problem that Cao's army had no other famous generals, Zhou Yu finally took out his trump card and asked Cheng Pu to lead the elite cavalry and the cavalry that had been recruited from Hepu County to charge together.
But here in Cao Wu, on the surface, there are only the strawberry soldiers left in Cao Wu's mouth. Those soldiers from Cangwu have hardly fought in a battle, and they are much worse than the soldiers and horses of the four counties of Jiaozhi who have fought against the barbarians.
Diao Chan worried that people like her would be defeated by Cheng Pu.
In comparison, the war on the west bank no longer seems important. At first, Zhou Yu had a big appetite and wanted to eat all Cao's troops on the west bank. Now Zhou Yu has a small appetite and just wants to eat the soldiers and horses on the east bank. However, his ambition is Very big.
Because Cao Wu was on the east bank, killing Cao Wu seemed to be more valuable to him.
Cao Wu still did not move his position on the hillside. He smiled and said: "The elites are the ones I fight. Today we will see how many famous generals I can bury here!"
There are many rats in Jiangdong, but there are also many talents.
"Since the elite are here and their generals are also here, let's see who has more schemes."
Cao Wu stood up from the hillside and stretched out a finger.
Compared with trump cards, it's not like Cao Wu doesn't have such a thing.
The first trump card is played.
