In the face of the challenges of Lu Bu's army, the plains adopted a strategy of not being able to stand firm. The prefects of both counties strictly prohibited their officers and soldiers from fighting rashly, and those who violated the situation would be severely punished.

His vision temporarily turned to Huainan.

Sun Jian's army gathered in Poyang Lake with a huge momentum, obviously intending to cross the Yangtze River to attack Lujiang.

In order to deal with the upcoming war, Jia Xu retreated all the officers and soldiers guarding along the river into Lujiang, gathered 50,000 troops in Lujiang, and ordered Zhang Liao to be responsible for the guards and prepare to resist the attack of Sun Jian's army. At the same time, Jia Xu sent a messenger to Liu Biao for help back and clasped his fists to Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Qi, Liu Biao accepted the letter of help from Mr. Liu Biao, saying that he would ease the discussion and told us not to worry!"

General Yang said angrily: "Now the military situation is so hot, how can we slow down the discussion? He is obviously afraid of the war and wants to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight!" General Yang was originally the first strategist under Yuan Shu. After Ai Lang occupied Huainan, he was going to die for the death of Quan Zhong, but was scolded by the annoyed Ai Lang. He woke up on the spot and became accused of Ai Lang. Now he is staying in Huainan as Jia Xu's deputy, helping Jia Xu manage Huainan.

Jia Xu sneered and said, "I originally thought Liu Biao was still a character. I didn't expect that he was so cowardly. Forget it, we can still defend Huainan without him! Our army has 100,000 elite troops and has a good geographical position and people. It is not that easy for Sun Jian to succeed!" General Yang nodded deeply with consent.

A dusty commander rushed in and reported: "Sir, Sun Jian has led his army across the river and marched towards Lujiang. General Zhang Liao ordered villains to report to him that General Zhang Liao and 50,000 soldiers have prepared for battle and are just waiting for the enemy to arrive." Lu Bu's army had no naval army, and the Sun family's naval army was arrogant. Therefore, Lu Bu's army could not stop the enemy from Jiangnan at all, and could only gather troops at key points and wait for them to attack.

Jia Xu nodded. General Yang said with some concern: "Sun Jian and Sun Ce are definitely not Yuan Shu. I am worried that General Zhang Liao's 50,000 troops will not be able to defend Lujiang. If Lujiang is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Jia Xu thought for a moment, immediately wrote an order, stamped his seal, handed it to the messenger, and ordered: "You should immediately take my order to go to Guangling, and transfer 20,000 troops to reinforce Hefei west!" The messenger agreed with his fists, stepped forward to receive the military order, and hurried away. Jia Xu walked to the door with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside the door, and thought to himself: I guess he could defend Lujiang with 70,000 troops. When the Jiangdong army was exhausted, he asked Xu Huang to lead his army out of Guangling to cross the river and attack Wujun, and caught them off guard!

At this time, Sun Jian and Zhou Yu were leading an army of 100,000 to march towards Lujiang. When passing Wan County, Sun Jian saw that Zhou Yu was a little absent-minded and looked into the distant mountains and forests frequently, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "What are Gongjin thinking?" Zhou Yu came back to his senses, put down his children's love for the moment, and clasped his fists and said, "I didn't think about anything."

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Your thoughts are written on your face. Since ancient times, heroes love beauty, which is also a natural human nature. When this war is over, I will take you to propose marriages in person. I will always let you and Ce'er fulfill this wish." Zhou Yu had met Xiao Qiao, so he is still dreaming about it. However, Sun Ce has never seen Da Qiao, but why is he obsessed with Da Qiao? It turned out that after Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang that day, he painted a portrait of Da Qiao for Sun Ce. Sun Ce fell in love at first sight and immediately asked his father Sun Jian to send someone to propose marriages. This was why the Jiangdong officials secretly crossed the river to Qiaojiazhuang to propose marriages.

Zhou Yu said gratefully: "Thank you lord!" Sun Jian smiled and patted his shoulder.

A scout hurriedly, strangled the horse in front of the two, clasped his fists and said, "Qi lord, Qi gong magistrate, 20,000 people came from Guangling and entered Lujiang!"

Sun Jian and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled. Sun Jian said, "Tap again." The scout clasped his fists and agreed, turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Everything was as expected by Gongjin. Jia Xu was indeed worried about the safety of Lujiang and transferred 20,000 reinforcements from Guangling. They would never have dreamed that this happened to fall into Gongjin's plan. In this battle, they would annihilate their 70,000 troops in Lujiang and capture Huainan in one fell swoop!" As he said that, he grabbed the five fingers, and was very arrogant as if he was as angry as a tiger.

Gongjin clasped his fists at Sun Jian and said, "Lord, the enemy must have nothing to do. You can send an order to the old general Huang Gai!" Sun Jian nodded and immediately called the commander, handing an arrow to the commander, and ordered him to immediately rush to Niuzhu to order Huang Gai to lead a 50,000 army across the Yangtze River and penetrate directly into Hefei. It turned out that Sun Jian's army had been making great efforts in the west to attract Jia Xu's attention, which made Jia Xu think that Sun Jian's army would concentrate its main force to attack Lujiang from the direction of Poyang Lake, and thus concentrate its forces to prepare for the battle in Lujiang. In fact, Sun Jian's 150,000 army and 30,000 naval troops were already

The troops were divided into two groups, of which the 100,000 army was led by Sun Jian and Zhou Yu to come from Poyang Lake with great fanfare. It was easy to create a 180,000 army. No one could tell whether the current army was 100,000 or 180,000. It could only be determined based on the other party's banner. In fact, at the same time, the 50,000 army had already been riding the navy warships of the navy and followed the 30,000 navy and led by Huang Gai to hide at Niuzhu. The 50,000 army and the 30,000 navy were the 80,000 army, which was also a killer arranged by Zhou Yu to seize Huainan in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yu's plan was to attract the main force of Lu Bu army in Huainan to Lujiang. At the same time, Huang Gai led an army of 80,000 from Niuzhu to cross the river west, and then rushed westward to seize Hefei 300 miles away. At this time, there were not many defenders in Hefei, and Huang Gai's 80,000 army was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top of the mountain, and it would be easy to take it down. In this way, the 70,000 Lu Bu army in Lujiang was cut off from the rear, and the morale of the army would inevitably be in chaos. Zhang Liao had no choice but to lead the army to break through. Zhou Yu had already done it. After Huang Gai succeeded in capturing Hefei, he immediately attacked Lujiang from three sides of the east and west. Zhang Liao would definitely lead the army to travel north, and Huang Gai would lead the army to set up an ambush south of Hefei. As long as Zhang Liao's army arrived, the entire army would be wiped out. After this battle, the main force of Lu Bu army in Huainan was wiped out, and several counties in Huainan were at their fingertips.

Zhou Yu's plan this time was very detailed, almost a net of heaven and earth. Jia Xu obviously did not see Zhou Yu's plan, and he planned to defend Lujiang.

Ah! Jia Xu woke up from his dream with a scream. Seeing that it was just a nightmare, he couldn't help but feel relieved. However, he still felt inexplicably panic in his heart and could not sleep at all. So he got off the bed and walked to the map hanging by the bed. Looking at the situation of both sides on the map, Jia Xu frowned. Since Sun Jian's army gathered in Poyang Lake, Jia Xu has been feeling uneasy. This was something he had never encountered before. He felt that he had missed something important, and his eyes were patrolling back and forth on the map.

Jizhou City is located in Anping County north of Qinghe County and is also the location of Anping County. Anping County is separated by a Qinghe and a Jiangshui County. From Qinghe County, go north from Qinghe County, cross Qinghe County first, then pass Jiangshui, and then walk not far away to reach the famous Xiongcheng of this era, Jizhou City. This area may be the second second most abundant area in this era than Luoyang. It has dense population, farmlands like the sea, and various handicraft industries are also very developed. Therefore, Yuan Shao set his capital here.

Now Yuan Shao is gathering a large army in Chaoge in the southwest, trying to block the Cao army's troops in order to regroup. However, as Yuan Shao's capital, Jizhou still has 20,000 elite troops at this time. The person responsible for guarding Jizhou was originally Yuan Shang, but Yuan Shang led his army to reinforce Yuan Shao not long ago, so now the person guarding Jizhou is Yuan Shang's confidant Shen Pei.

Shen Pei took out the envelope, took out the bamboo slips, and looked through it. Seeing that the lord told him to execute Tian Feng and Ju Su immediately in the letter. Tian Feng tried several times to prevent Yuan Shao from fighting with Cao Cao in full, but was sent to the Jizhou prison by Yuan Shao. As for Ju Su, he was arrested because he made a suggestion that Yuan Shao didn't like to listen to in front of the army. He was taken back to Jizhou before the Guandu Battle and imprisoned Tian Feng in the same place. Yuan Shao was defeated by Guandu, and the 700,000 army was defeated, but he became angry with Tian Feng and Ju Su. In addition, Feng Ji and others added fuel to the fire. Yuan Shao believed that it was because Tian Feng and Ju Su and the two of them said unknown words before the war, which made their 700,000 army defeated, and the culprit was truly unforgivable. Therefore, he ordered Shen Pei, who stayed in Jizhou, to execute Tian Feng and Ju Su immediately.

After reading the letter, Shen Pei couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't like Tian Feng and Ju Su, he still admired their talents. Suddenly, Shen Pei felt sad in his heart.

A Yuan army cavalry with nearly 10,000 people came to the gate of Jizhou. A general-looking man shouted at the city gate, "We are sent by the lord to extract food and grass, open the city gate!" Although Cao's army and Lu Bu's army are still far from Jizhou, Shen Pei has ordered martial law to be on the grounds of caution. The gate of Jizhou is closed, and no one can enter and exit without Shen Pei's orders or Yuan Shao's orders.

The lieutenant in charge of guarding the city gate looked out and looked it out. Seeing that the flag and clothes were all his own people, he did not dare to open the city gate rashly because he was given a strict order and said loudly: "Now that Jizhou is martial law, no one is allowed to enter and exit at will! Can the general have the lord's order arrow?"

The general-looking man raised his command arrow high and sang: "The Lord is here!"

The captain looked at him from a distance and felt that it seemed to be the lord's command arrow. However, for the sake of caution, he sang: "God, please forgive me. Now the situation is tense, and the villain dare not be surprised. Please put the command arrow into the hanging basket so that the villain can carefully examine it!"

The general was very generous and said loudly: "It should be like this. Put down the hanging basket."

The lieutenant immediately ordered his soldiers to put down the hanging basket. After a while, the lieutenant pulled the hanging basket up. The lieutenant quickly took out the command arrow from the hanging basket, carefully examined it, and immediately ordered the city gate to open. He ran down the city gate and prepared to return the command arrow to the general himself.
