Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 451
The two soldiers had already understood Fei Yi's intentions, and they clasped their fists together and said, "Sir, please rest in the tower, and I will be in charge of the fire horn in the second half of the night!"

Fei Yi nodded and said, "Observe the movement of the enemy camp, seize the opportunity, and don't let Wu Jun rest in peace."

"Obey!" The two took the order and left. They were very happy to see Wu Jun panicking outside the city.

Su Fei woke up the next day and heard that he had been harassing Wu Jun last night, beating drums a dozen times to scare him, and he was able to line up in time the first few times, but later on he gradually became impatient and slacked off a lot, obviously unbearable.

Su Fei laughed and said: "I didn't expect that Wen Wei was so good at harassing us. The drums and trumpets sounded all night last night. Wu Jun is exhausted. You all go and have a good rest. Leave it to us during the day!"

In the Soochow camp, Lu Meng and others were disturbed all night, but they were falsely alarmed and furious. They all asked to fight, and prepared to take Anlu with all their might.

Zhou Yu ordered Pan Zhang and Jia Hua to lead the army to attack the city first, to see how the city was prepared before making any plans.

Zhou Yu paced back and forth in the tent of the Chinese army, frowned and said, "I thought this Su Fei was a fool, but unexpectedly he knew the tricks of exhausted soldiers. Could it be that there are other experts in the city to help?"

Lu Meng said loudly: "It doesn't matter who is in the city, it's just a few soldiers and horses, if they break through the city gate, they will naturally be found."

"Mengzheng, you suffered a great loss when you attacked Jiang Xia earlier, and you should have a better memory!" Zhou Yu turned around, looked at Lu Meng and said, "A general is a general who commands troops and plans. You know how to fight bravely, but you are nothing more than a warrior, you must keep it in mind!"

Lü Meng fought bravely, took the lead in battle, always took Sun Jian as an example, and wanted to be the first in everything. At this time, he was stunned by Zhou Yu's words, and said in astonishment: "The general has taught you well!"

Zhou Yu could see dissatisfaction in his eyes, but the battle was imminent, so it was hard to teach him a lesson, and he couldn't kill Lu Meng's spirit, so he said, "Hurry up and oversee the army, it's best to break the city today."

"Obey!" Lu Meng was overjoyed and took the order and left.

The tent was quiet for a while, but Zhou Yu frowned. He could tell that Anlu was heavily guarded, and he might not be able to take it down in one day. The target of this dispatch was Jiang Xia, and he couldn't be dragged in this little Anlu.

Lu Meng personally supervised the battle in front of the army. The Wu army launched several attacks, but they were all forced to retreat. go up.

In one morning, more than a thousand people were injured, thick smoke billowed outside Anlu City, corpses littered the ground, and the city was still standing.

As the day passed, Lu Meng became even more annoyed. He personally selected [-] dead soldiers from the army, and prepared to go to the city personally in heavy armor.

When Zhou Yu heard the news, he immediately called Lu Meng back, and ordered the whole army to retreat, rearrange their troops, and continue to attack the city tomorrow.

Lu Meng's face turned red: "General, you only need to charge one last time to break through Anlu, why are you retreating?"

Pan Zhang also said anxiously: "We can't break the city today, and we will be harassed by them at night. We don't know what's true, let alone relax our vigilance. If we can't rest day and night, I'm afraid that morale will be low and good opportunities will be missed."

Zhou Yu's eyes were deep, and he told the generals: "Everyone go to rest first, I have my own plan!"

Just as he was thinking about how to break the city, Yu Fan suddenly came to see him. He was in charge of monitoring the movement of Jingzhou. Liu Biao gave up Jingzhou Mu and was about to go to Luoyang to take up his post. The new governor of Jingzhou was Zhong Yao from Yingchuan.

"Not good!" Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard the news, "If Liu Biao gave up Jingzhou, wouldn't Liu He want to send troops to Jiangxia?"

Yu Fan sighed: "This matter is really unexpected. If Liu He wins Jingzhou, wouldn't I, Jiangdong..."

Zhou Yu frowned. The purpose of attacking Jiangxia this time was to take advantage of Liu He's troops in the Central Plains and Nanyang to block them, so as to take down this important town in one go and control the defense line of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao surrendered without a fight, which would be very detrimental to Soochow. .

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu said: "Now that the arrow is on the string, we have to launch it. Lao Zhongxiang will continue to monitor the movement in Jingzhou. We must take Jiangxia as soon as possible."

Yu Fan took the order and left, Zhou Yu walked out of the tent, looked up at the stars in the sky, and sighed: "Time, fate?"

At about the second watch, suddenly there was another sound of drums in the mountains. Wu Bing wanted to ignore it, but also feared that the enemy would really come to steal the camp.

In a daze, he was forcibly called up countless times, and everyone was furious. At dawn, Zhou Yu suddenly ordered the whole army to retreat and meet at Xiakou!

The movement of the Soochow camp was soon discovered by the defenders. Su Fei was assigning defense tasks in the camp. Hearing the news, he went to the city to check and saw that the Wu army was indeed pulling out the camp.

County magistrate Wang beamed: "This must be Zhou Yu, otherwise he would be disturbed. I also heard that Liu He has sent troops to reinforce him, so he retreated on his own initiative."

"That's right, now that the Lord of Jingzhou has changed, Wu Bing can't let him act recklessly." Su Fei's eyes flickered, and when he thought of Liu He controlling Jingzhou, he felt excited and proud for no reason.

Last night, Xiangyang sent news that Liu He had promised reinforcements and asked all places to guard carefully and wait for reinforcements to arrive. This greatly boosted the morale of the defenders in the city, and they were ready to fight hard today, but Soochow retreated.

"Hmph, how could he be asked to retreat so easily?" Su Fei was full of fighting spirit, and immediately sent an order: "Come on, send me an order to kill with me!"

The county magistrate Wang was shocked and said: "No general, Zhou Yu has many soldiers, if something happens, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?"

Su Fei sneered and said, "When Zhou Yu heard the report and retreated, I guess they must concentrate their forces to attack Jiang Xia. How could they succeed?"

County magistrate Wang thought the same thing. If Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were to join forces, Huang Zu's pressure would suddenly increase, and he might not be able to withstand it. Just let Su Fei take advantage of the retreat of Wu soldiers and kill them by surprise.

Not long after, [-] soldiers and horses gathered in the camp, and Su Fei went into battle. As soon as he arrived at the north gate, he saw Fei Yi rushing over and advised, "General, Zhou Yu suddenly retreated. I'm afraid there may be some deceit, so don't fall for it." count."

Su Fei laughed and said, "Sir, you are worrying too much. Zhou Yu is eager to retreat to attack Jiang Xia. I happened to be following and chasing after him. If I can take Xiakou along the way, Jiang Xia's siege can be relieved."

Fei Yi paused and said, "Zhou Yu is good at using troops, how can he retreat without fighting? If the general pursues rashly, he may lose!"

Su Fei sneered and said: "Mr.'s plan to defend the city is indeed ingenious, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, this general is unequivocal. Just wait for the good news!"

Regardless of Fei Yi's efforts to stop him, Su Fei led his troops out of the city. After all, Fei Yi was a scholar and didn't know how to lead troops. This time he sent troops not only to save Jiang Xia from the siege, but also to prove his own strength.

Now that Liu He has taken over Jingzhou, there must be a huge personnel transfer in the future. The promotion and promotion of officials will all depend on their past performance and merit.

If Zhou Yu can be defeated this time, and the generals and soldiers of Soochow Wu can be captured and killed, they will become famous in one battle, and the rewards are naturally not a problem!
