Jia Xu said: "Zilong expected that it was not bad. Only Guangling was the only major town to go east. Guangling prefect Wu Jing was Sun Jian's wife's brother-in-law. Sun Jian would never let Guangling go."

Ailang frowned and said, "Do you want to send troops to reinforce Wenyuan?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Lord is lenient, Wen Yuan can't help but be brave. What's even more rare is that he understands the essence of military strategy. He is a rare talent of a general, and he can stand alone! Although Huang Gai is brave, he is not the opponent of the clerk!"

When Ailang heard him say this, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Liao's deeds in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that defeated the Wu army with less victory and more, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Jia Xu said: "The Sun family has just occupied Lujiang but has not yet established a foothold, and is eager to occupy Danyang and Wujun. Half of the troops go east. This is a great opportunity for our army to seize Lujiang! The lord should not hesitate, and should immediately lead the main army to Lujiang south and defeat Sun Jian in one fell swoop!"

Ai Lang couldn't help but feel full of enthusiasm and shouted: "Okay! I'll order the army to rest for one night and go south to attack Lujiang early tomorrow morning!"

The next morning, Ailang led an army of 60,000 southwards, and the long line winded southward like a giant dragon between the mountains and rivers.

At the same time, Sun Jian received a report from the scout and learned that Lu Bu's 60,000 troops were coming in a fierce manner. He immediately ordered all 35,000 troops to retreat into the city and prepare to defend the city. The food and grass transported from Chaisang arrived, which greatly boosted the morale of Sun Jian's army. Although Lu Bu's army was about to arrive, Sun Jian's army had no fear from the top to the bottom. Instead, he was eager to make a contribution in this battle, because everyone knew in his heart that although his troops were only more than half of the opponent's troops, he had a strong city to rely on and had sufficient food and grass, and they had a greater chance of winning in this battle. Sun Jian's army's idea was not wrong. In ancient times, the forces of both offensive and defensive sides often had to reach three to one, and only one attacking one side had a chance of winning. Judging from the current situation, Lu Bu's army had 60,000 to Sun Jian's army for 35,000. In fact, it was almost impossible to break Lujiang in general.

And there is another point. If the main force of Lu Bu's army cannot capture it for a long time, then Sun Ce will return to the aid immediately after capturing Danyang and Wujun. At that time, Lu Bu's army has become a tired army and will inevitably be unable to resist Sun Jian's army's internal and external attacks and suffered a major defeat. If the main force of Lu Bu's army was defeated in Lujiang, it would be fine if it would not have suffered much loss. If the loss is heavy, it would be afraid that Sun Jian's army would take advantage of the situation to advance north, and I am afraid that even Shouchun would not be able to be saved in the end. Therefore, in terms of the current situation, although Lu Bu's army is coming.

The turbulent ones were more calm. The key to this battle was whether Lu Bu could capture Lujiang in time, and how much time would Sun Ce spend to capture Danyang and Wujun. With Liu Yao's ability, it would be good if Sun Ce, who was known as the little overlord, was not defeated immediately, but it would be difficult for Ailang to break Lujiang in a short time, and even the biggest possibility was that the attack was damaged and the soldiers were defeated. Therefore, in terms of the overall strategic situation, the Sun family was far better than Ailang.

Just as the army of both sides was about to fight, the people near Lujiang fled into the nearby mountains after hearing the news, for fear of being affected by the war. Qiaojia Manor in the mountains near Wan County, southwest of Lujiang said that thousands of refugees who fled from the north were leaked, while new refugees were still fleeing.

In the evening of that day, Mr. Qiao returned to the backyard. Mrs. Qiao led a pair of daughters wearing moon-white trousers and long skirts with a beautiful and beautiful temperament to the front of Mr. Qiao, and asked worriedly: "Master, are there many refugees coming today?"

Mr. Qiao sat down, nodded, and frowned and said, "Lu Bu and Sun Jian are about to start a big battle in Lujiang! Alas, I really don't know what our Lujiang will look like! I just hope they will decide the winner soon!"

The younger daughter couldn't help but say, "It's better for Lord Sun Jian to win! Lord Sun Jian is famous all over the world and is a rare wise minister. If he manages our Lujiang, everyone's life will never be too bad!" Then she frowned slightly and said with disgust: "Then Lu Bu was originally a lackey of Dong Zhuo and a jackal. If he wins, wouldn't our Lujiang villagers all become fish on his chopping board? That's when the people were to live in poverty!"

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and the older daughter frowned slightly and said, "I just hope Lord Sun Jian doesn't be careless. Then Lu Bu is not a simple person! When he fought against the eighteen princes under Hulao Pass, he was really brave and invincible!"

The younger daughter scoffed and said, "It's just that the courage of a common man is, what's the great thing about it! I believe that Lord Sun Jian's wisdom will definitely defeat that ordinary man Lu Bu!"

Mr. Qiao sighed and said, "I hope so." Then he reminded the pair of daughters: "Now a large number of refugees are coming to our Qiaojiazhuang, and you are mixed with fish and dragons. Just stay in your boudoir and don't go in front of you at will." The pair of daughters nodded, and they understood their father's worries.

The sight returned to Lujiang.

The army led by Ailang approached the city of Bolujiang and then launched a fierce attack. The officers and soldiers of Lu Bu pushed various siege equipment to attack the city walls. The arrows kept flying towards the city head, and the car continued to hit the city gate. On the ladder, brave soldiers rushed straight to the city! The Lu Bu army launched a fierce attack like a huge wave as soon as it came up, with a very amazing momentum! However, under the command of Sun Jian and Zhou Yu, the Sun family defended without losing a single day and resolved the crisis. Lu Bu's army attacked for a long time and lost more than a thousand officers and soldiers, but could not even get up the city head.

As night fell, Lu Bu's army suspended its attack and retreated five or six miles to set up camp.

Ailang walked into the tent and cursed in anger: "Damn it, I've been attacking all day and lost so many people, but I haven't even caught the hair!"

Jia Xu said: "It is said that although Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are young, they are well-read and have extraordinary strategies. I didn't believe it. Today, I saw it. It is indeed worthy of its reputation! It is arranged like an iron barrel, and the army under its command is good at attacking, killing, fighting and defending! This Sun family army is far from comparable to Yuan Shujun!"

Ailang said angrily: "Now is not the time to appreciate him! Wenhe, do you have any good ways to break through Lujiang?"

Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Don't be anxious. Although the attack today has no effect, I found that they had a loophole in the corner of the west, and the number of enemies there is limited. Tomorrow, our army can deliberately attack the front. When the war is in a stalemate, an elite soldier will suddenly attack the corner of the west! We can definitely break the city with one battle!"

Ailang nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
