Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 615
"It's so radical, there must be something strange."

On the tower of Xiapi City, watching Sun Jian's army attack successively, Yue Fei felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Could it be that Sun Jian knows that we have sent [-] troops to support Liang, and there are only [-] soldiers left in the city, so he wants to take this opportunity to attack Xiapi?"

Qin Qiong guessed suspiciously, but it was wrong to think about it carefully. The city of Xiapi is strong, and the army and the people are loyal. Although Sun Jian has an army of nearly 20, it is not easy to capture Xiapi.

"If I'm not mistaken, Sun Jian's aggressive actions are just a feint. Their real purpose is for Liang Guo and for the navy."

Wang Meng remained unfazed and continued: "Liang Guo is safe with the support of our army, but Governor Qi, on the other hand, may be in a situation of being attacked from both sides."

In order to guard against Sun Jian and Liu Bei's army in Xuzhou, almost all soldiers and horses gathered in Xiapi, leaving only standing troops and horses to maintain basic defense.

Although Guangling had [-] troops to guard against Jiangdong, but because of the presence of Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning, there were no other generals. According to what Wang Meng said, Guangling might be at a loss, and the navy was in a very dangerous situation.

It's not that they don't have confidence in Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning, but Jiangdong Navy, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are not easy people. Once Qi Jiguang fails to react in time, he will easily lose his head.

"Don't worry, everyone. Commander Qi can be worshiped as the Commander of the Navy by our lord. He naturally has his own merits. Although the situation of the Navy is dangerous, it is not fatal. The most urgent task is to defeat Sun Jian early. If Sun Jian is defeated, the Navy The teacher's danger will be solved by himself."

Wang Meng smiled slightly, his slender figure swaying with the wind.

That night, Yue Fei ordered generals Qin Qiong and Chen Dao to lead [-] troops to attack the camp. The Jiangdong Army was unexpectedly defeated and more than [-]% of the grain and grass in the army were burned to the Xuzhou Army.

Sun Jian was furious, and Lu Su and others were speechless. No one thought that the Xuzhou army would dare to go out of the city to attack the camp at this time.

"The army's grain and grass have suffered a lot. Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong, you, the second general, will go to Hefei to escort the army's grain and grass."

Hefei is the transportation hub of Yangzhou. Both water and land routes are extremely spacious and smooth, and it is the key business place in Jiangdong.

This time when Sun Jian's army attacked Liu, he used Hefei as a transit station. Whether it was from Jiangdong or Jingzhou, the grain and grass were stored here and sent to the armies.

Sun Jian sent three generals, Lu Meng, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi, to garrison such an important place.

That night when Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong were ordered to leave Xiapi, Yue Fei sent generals Qin Qiong and Chen Dao to attack the camp.

Unexpectedly, this time the Jiangdong army had already been prepared. Lu Wenlong, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others all rushed out to stop the Xuzhou army and fight.

Qin Qiong and Chen Dao didn't dare to fight, and wanted to lead the troops back immediately.

There were many soldiers in Jiangdong, and Lu Wenlong was even more brave. With a long spear, Chen Dao couldn't even beat Chen Dao, and soon he led the Jiangdong army to surround the [-] Xuzhou regiments who attacked the camp.

At a critical moment, with the sound of horseshoes, Cheng Yaojin and Li Tong led troops to kill them.

"Hejian Zhang He is here, the enemy generals are going to be reckless!"

"Wen Chou is here, the two generals don't panic!"

There were two more energetic shouts, and Zhang He, Wen Chou, and Chang Yuchun also led troops to help.

In the dark night, Xuzhou's army could not see how many people there were as they advanced. Jiangdong's army did not dare to fight. After a period of fighting, they could only watch helplessly as Qin Qiong and Chen Dao led the army to break through and escape.

However, this battle was a small victory, avenging the burning of food and grass, and the morale of the Jiangdong Army rose. Sun Jian, Lu Su and others were already extremely satisfied.

More importantly, they were finally able to confirm that Liu Xie had not failed to provide support to Xuzhou. Zhang He and Wen Chou were so brave. If they hadn't been forced out by accident tonight, it would have been terrible to hide behind them.

"You generals have worked hard, but is there any result?"

Xiapi, Yue Fei escorted the generals into the city, Wang Meng stepped forward and asked.

"As expected by the military adviser, Sun Jian has already dispatched generals to transport grain. All the generals from Jiangdong will go to battle tonight, except Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong. Presumably they are going to transport grain."

Qin Qiong showed no sign of defeat or frustration on his face. From the very beginning, Wang Meng had told them that there would definitely be an ambush before attacking the camp tonight, and defeat was expected.

"Did the two generals Zhang He and Wen Chou ever get famous names?"

Wang Meng looked at the two of them and asked.

"The military division ordered, dare not disobey."

"In this way, great things can be expected. Next, it will be up to General Yue."

"Military advisor, don't worry, Yue Fei will never teach you to be disappointed."

Yue Fei surrendered, Wang Meng had already laid out so much for him, and now it was time for him to take action to settle the matter.

At dawn, the city gate of Xiapi opened, and Qin Qiong led [-] troops towards Guangling County.

After Sun Jian learned about it, he immediately ordered generals Ling Tong and Ding Feng to lead troops to intercept them. The two sides fought fiercely, and the Xuzhou army was split into two.

Ling Tong and Ding Fengzheng wanted to continue the pursuit, but Sun Jian sent people to stop them.

Obviously, the Xuzhou army has realized that their target is Qi Jiguang's navy, but it is too late. As long as they block the Xuzhou army in Xiapi, it will be considered a success.

As for the soldiers and horses who fled to Guangling County, there were only 5000 people, and there was no general to command them, so it was difficult to have an impact on the battle situation in Guangling.

What Sun Jian didn't know was that the five thousand troops didn't really go to Guangling County, nor was there no general commanding them as he thought.

"Gongming, General Yue has entrusted such an important responsibility to you and me. We cannot let everyone down."

Zhang Liao looked at Xu Huang, his copper-colored face was full of fortitude.

The two led five thousand soldiers and horses, put on the armor of the Jiangdong Army, and rushed along the marching route of Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong.

It was cloudy and rainy, and the marching route of Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong was very clear. In addition, Zhang Liao asked the people along the way, and soon deduced that the grain and grass of Sun Jian's army were hidden in Hefei!

"You and I are newly surrendered. Fortunately, we are favored by my lord to become generals again. Although the generals in Xuzhou have no differences between us, the world calls you and me greedy for life and afraid of death. This raid will not be won without victory."

Xu Huang said in a deep voice, this big man from the east of the river is also eager to wash away his humiliation by virtue of his military exploits.

The two looked even more determined. They led [-] soldiers and horses to take shortcuts and seldom rested. Although they set off late, they arrived in front of Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong after five days, which was only a day's journey away from Hefei.

It's also fortunate that the five thousand soldiers under their command are elite Danyang soldiers who are best at mountain battles and rapid attacks, so they can be so fast.

When Tao Qian died of illness, the Danyang elite soldiers were under the command of Chen Deng. Later, Liu Xie led the troops to break Xiapi, Chen Gui surrendered, and the Danyang elite soldiers were handed over to Xun You.

This time, in order to sneak attack Hefei, Yue Fei deliberately recruited Danyang elite soldiers from Xun You, and ordered them to go with Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.

A day later, the two finally came to Hefei.

The walls of Hefei are solid, not to mention that Zhang Liao and Xu Huang only have [-] soldiers and horses, even [-], it is difficult to capture Hefei.

What's more, the guard of Hefei is Lu Meng, the general of Jiangdong. Although Lu Meng's reputation is not known, he runs the army strictly and never makes mistakes, which is highly valued by Sun Jian.

Even though Zhang Liao didn't know how powerful Lu Meng was, Sun Jian knew that he must be superior if he allowed Lu Meng to guard Hefei.
