"Even if they succeed in the way, they may not be able to return to Qi."

"The governor seems to have a countermeasure?" Sun Kuang asked with a smile.

"The Qi army has passed the Huai River, but they still need to continue eastward. In my opinion, Wei Guo cannot trust [-]% even if he borrows a way. Therefore, I am afraid that Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning will not be able to reach Ping'a, and they will not be able to enter the city. As long as we lead The army intercepted before Ping'a, the Qi army was not allowed to pass through the state of Wei in the north, and the raging Huai River was in the south, and it was impossible to advance or retreat. If our army is all pressed up, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Qi army in Ping'a."

Zhou Yu had already said a word, and when he saw a few more people, he immediately burst into smiles.

This is the fate of those who have gained the Dao and those who have lost the Dao have little help.

"The governor must be sure that Wei Jun will never let them pass Ping'a?" Sun Yi was still a little worried.

"nature!"

"What evidence?"

"Just because Ping'a's guard, Xia Houjie, is Cao Cao's nephew. In the first battle of Xuchang, the Cao family was disgraced. At such a time, how could the enemy pass through his territory easily. Moreover, this person is not as thoughtful as Cao Zhen , this person is a reckless man. It’s okay if Qi Jiguang doesn’t go, but once he passes, I’m afraid he will personally lead the army to besiege him.”

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

"Everyone, if this is the case, immediately order Qi soldiers and horses to cross the Huai River to chase and kill the Qi army."

"Kill!" Zhou Yu gave an order, and the [-] Wu troops moved quickly, divided into several groups, and headed towards the north bank of the Huai River.

Chapter 619 Crossing the Huai River and attacking Shouchun

It was more than ten miles away from Ping'a City, and at a glance, the outline of the city could already be seen clearly.

"Deputy governor, Ping'a is ahead, why don't we speed up our pace and prepare to make an excuse?" Gan Ning looked eager to try.

Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "Before we went to Cai, we just gambled and passed the pass by chance because the general guarding the city was Cao Zidan, and the guard Xia Houjie in this city may not only not let us pass the pass, but if we get too close, I am afraid he will send troops Come attack."

Hearing this, Gan Ning drew out his big sword and said viciously, "It's just right here, wait for me to cut him off the horse with one blow."

Qi Jiguang was about to speak, when a fast horse suddenly came from behind, cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "I report to the deputy governor, the Wu army has already crossed the Huai River, and Zhengbing is chasing and killing us from three directions."

All the generals were shocked when they heard the words.

Now that they are trapped in Wei soil and blocked by several Wu troops, they are more dangerous than at any time in history.

"It doesn't matter so much, let's conquer Ping'a first. If there is no city to defend, the Wu army will encircle him from several roads, and we will be short of soldiers and food. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to resist stubbornly?" Gan Ning rode on his horse and prepared to lead the army. March towards Ping'a.

"No!" At the critical moment, Qi Jiguang grabbed Gan Ning's horsewhip.

"Captain, at such a critical juncture, Wu Jun is coming soon, and if you delay for a moment, the danger will be even greater."

Qi Jiguang did not let go, but looked at the messenger and asked, "Did Wu Jun cross the river first and then launch a pursuit?"

"Wu Jun, under the leadership of the governor Zhou Yu, more than 5 people have already crossed the Huai River. When the younger ones were inquiring, they were still crossing the river."

Press people with power!

Although Cao Zhen is strong, he has few people after all. Facing Wu's tens of thousands of troops, even if he wants to stop him, he can only defend the city.

In this way, no one can help them escape the predicament right now. If they want to get out of the predicament, they can only rely on themselves.

"Pass down the order, all the ministries will quickly cross the river and go to Shouchun!"

"Shouchun? Are you crazy?" Gan Ning jumped off the horse with a look of surprise on his face.

Shouchun is an important stronghold of Wu State in Jiujiang, and it could not be broken by a strong attack before, let alone now.

"If Wu Jun came after him, he would definitely be out in force. Shouchun at this time must be extremely empty. Think about it, since Wu Jun is chasing, he must move lightly. He must not have much food and supplies with him. We are taking the city now. Not only can you supplement yourself, but you can also defeat the Wu army's logistics and defeat the enemy's spirit. You don't need to say too much, let's set off quickly."

Every time Qi Jiguang predicted the enemy beforehand, even though Gan Ning was dubious, he could only follow his general orders at this moment, choose a suitable position on the Huai River to cross the river quickly, and move to Shouchun.

As Qi Jiguang expected, Zhou Yu went all out to hunt down the Qi army.Not only the 5 troops in the headquarters were mobilized, but even Lu Wenlong's troops in the city were all mobilized out of the city, leaving only [-] infantry to guard the city.

Even though these people tried their best, Qi Jun sneaked back to Shouchun quietly.

The gate of Shouchun City was opened, and several Wu soldiers were basking in the sun leisurely there.

They are all downsized soldiers, and their job change is to clean up the battlefield and transport supplies.If it hadn't been for this time, Zhou Yu would have mobilized all his troops to avoid future troubles, and I am afraid that the responsibility of defending the city would never have fallen on them.

The guard guarding Shouchun was also replaced by Zhu Xuan from the Jiangdong Zhu clan from Lu Wenlong.

The Zhu family is a prominent family, and there are also a large number of talents within the family.

But Zhu Xuan is just a guy whose mud can't support the wall.If it is not for Zhu Huan's face, Zhou Yu would not let him join the army as a general at all.

Right now Qi Jiguang and the others are already under heavy siege, Zhou Yu thinks that the situation is settled, and there is no one around him who can be idle, so he has no choice but to leave Zhu Xuan to guard Shouchun.

Poor Zhu Xuan drove the ducks to the shelves, and it was her first time as the main general but she didn't know what to do.Hand over all military affairs to the lieutenant general, and hide in the house and sing and drink happily.

"Brothers, I'll slip away later."

"You brat, you want to slip away again. Last time you were discovered by the head, if you are discovered again this time, I will not help you cover up."

"Brother, brother, don't worry, the head will definitely not come today. Several centurions have gone to drink, and the head must have gone with him. Help!"

The older soldiers were already used to it. Although they said they were unwilling to help cover, they had actually acquiesced to each other.

Although Wu's total military strength has been continuously expanded, it has almost 20 people.But in addition to the 5 people under the command of the governor Zhou Yu, what really belongs to King Wu is the 1 soldiers and horses stationed along the Yangtze River, plus the [-] people in Jianye City.

The remaining [-] troops are all in the hands of numerous generals and aristocratic families.Either as a government soldier, or as an army under his command.

All the armies are nominally under the jurisdiction of the state of Wu, but in fact there are many factions among them.Military laws cannot be fully implemented among the various armies, resulting in confusion in laws and regulations, and military regulations are like child's play.

"Okay, remember to bring back some good wine for our brothers."

"Okay, okay!" The soldier who was about to slip away suddenly sensed something was wrong, and quickly lowered his voice to listen carefully.

Seeing his serious appearance, the surrounding soldiers were taken aback for a moment, and burst out laughing in a blink of an eye.

"Brothers, listen up, listen up, it's shaking, there seems to be the sound of galloping horses."

"War horse! You are not mistaken! Our cavalry has already left. I am afraid that there are no soldiers in this area for dozens of miles. Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be the sound of some caravan!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The soldier turned his head and looked, only to see smoke billowing in the sky.

A troop of cavalry was galloping towards Shouchun at high speed, and the flags were too far away to see clearly, but it didn't seem to be Wu Guo's troop.

"Brother Wang, go up and have a look!"

An elderly soldier quickly went to the city to check, and before he had gone a few steps, several arrows flew over suddenly, and one of them hit the soldier surnamed Wang in the back.

The soldier surnamed Wang fell to the ground and died instantly.

Enemy attack, it is enemy attack!
