Chapter 202 The counterattack came so fast
As the saying goes, "I don't blame you for being used to, but you will lose your own mistakes." After the officers and soldiers of Cai Mao learned that the sounds outside the camp were all the enemy's plan to disturb the enemy, they all rested with peace of mind. The sounds of war drums and shouts came from outside the camp, and everyone turned a deaf ear. In order not to be disturbed, some officers and soldiers even blocked their ears with cloth strips in order not to be disturbed. For a moment, the sounds of war drums and shouts outside the camp still rang out loud from time to time, but they no longer had any impact on the officers and soldiers of Cai Mao. The Cai Mao army in the camp and the Lu Bu army outside the camp seemed to be doing their own things, and the well water did not interfere with the river.
"Grandmaster! Grandmaster!..." Cai Mao, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by Wei Yan.
Cai Mao sat up and cursed angrily: "What the hell is going on in the middle of the night?"
Wei Yan said anxiously: "It's bad, the Grand Commander! The enemy is coming in!" As if responding to Wei Yan's words, there were a lot of fighting shouts and screams mixed with the sound of rumbling war drums.
Cai Mao was not fully awake yet, but just thought it was the enemy still bluffing and said angrily: "I have said this long ago, ignore their plan to disturb the enemy! Why are you still taking it seriously?" Wei Yan said anxiously; "No, the Grand Commander! Just now, Zhao Yun suddenly led his army to attack the camp, and our army was caught off guard, and the officers and soldiers were already in chaos! The Grand Commander should leave quickly, otherwise it would be too late!"
Cai Mao was stunned for a moment and rushed out of the tent. He saw the fires flashing everywhere in the camp, and the sound of earth-shaking killing sounds and rumbling horse hooves came. It was the Lu Bu cavalry who was sweeping the soldiers in the camp, slaughtering his officers and soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. The officers and soldiers under his command rolled and crawled without any resistance at all. Not far away, countless Lu Bu infantry rushed up like a tide. His officers and soldiers were defeated like mountains, and they escaped slowly and were cut to death on the spot. Those who escaped quickly were also scattered in a panic. The army of his own was completely in chaos.
Cai Mao looked at everything in front of him in disbelief and kept saying in his heart: 'How could this happen? Isn't it a bluff?' His man hadn't fully reacted at this time.
At this moment, the general who thought the white horse and silver spear led a team of cavalry to rush towards this side. A man shouted loudly: "Cai Mao surrender quickly!" Cai Mao was shocked and came back to his senses. At this time, Wei Yan said anxiously: "Governor quickly get on the horse!" Cai Mao saw Wei Yan riding a horse and another horse, and quickly ran over and stepped onto the horse's back. The two of them waved their horse whips and rushed towards the darkness in the south.
Zhao Yun led a cavalry to the tent, and the officers and soldiers under him set up torches to take care of him everywhere, but no one was seen. Zhao Yun laughed and scolded, "Cai Mao escaped quickly!" Then he shouted to the messenger beside him: "Send the command, the army does not need to chase and kill, clean up the camp immediately!" The messenger bent his fists and rushed down hurriedly.
Speaking of which, when Sun Ce heard the constant shouts and war drums coming from the west at night, he thought it was just Zhao Yun's disturbance to the enemy, so he laughed it off and lay down on the marching couch to rest. However, in the middle of the night, a huge sound of killing suddenly came. Sun Ce woke up in horror and ran out of the tent to look at the Cai Mao army camp in the west. Seeing the fires flashing in the camp, he couldn't help but curse in annoyance: "Damn it! I've fallen into a trap! This is not a plan to disturb the enemy but a plan to exhaust the enemy!" Then Sun Ce called Dong Xi Chen Wu, and ordered them to gather 5,000 troops to support immediately. However, before they had time to set off, the scout had already heard the news: "Grand Prince, Cai Mao's army was defeated, and Zhao Yun has occupied their camp!"
Sun Ce couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! Cai Mao, this trash! He was defeated so quickly!"
Then another officer rushed to report: "The eldest son, Cai Mao led more than 100 defeated generals, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and escaped to our army's camp."
Sun Ce quickly went out to greet him, welcomed Cai Mao and Liu Bei and the other two into the tent, which made them shocked by bringing wine.
Cai Mao took a few big sips of wine and calmed down a lot. He said with lingering fear: "That Zhao Yun is too cunning! I, I thought he was going to disrupt our morale, but I didn't expect that he actually led his army to raid!" Then he cursed angrily: "Zhao Yun did not dare to fight me with a clear sword and a spear, but used such despicable tricks, which is really hateful!"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but mocked him: "It's funny that I can't beat others but blame the opponent on the head. My second brother has long asked you to be wary of Zhao Yun's army that he would really lead the raid. Who told you not to listen!"
Cai Mao was furious and was about to attack. However, when he saw Zhang Fei's fierce and fierce image, he couldn't help swallowing the words he said, and said nothing. Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei grinned, stopped talking, and drank wine on his own. Judging from his expression and attitude, he was obviously still laughing at Cai Mao.
Sun Ce looked at Guan Yu and asked, "Brother Yun could actually predict Zhao Yun's trick?"
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Sun Ce and said lightly: "That's nothing great. If I were Zhao Yun, I would have done this. I have seen Zhao Yun. I am wise and brave. I am definitely a hero." Sun Ce thought and nodded.
Cai Mao said angrily: "What are you talking about now? The most urgent task now is how to deal with the current situation! Master, just make an idea!"
Sun Ce smiled slightly, but was not anxious. He looked at Guan Yu and asked, "Brother Yun, what do you think we should do next?" Guan Yu did not answer immediately, but instead turned to Liu Bei to question, obviously asking Liu Bei for Yunke, so he would say. Liu Bei smiled and said, "Second brother, Grand Master Sun asks you, just say whatever you have." Guan Yu responded and said to Sun Ce: "There is only the way to retreat now."
Cai Mao agreed and said, "Yes, yes, let's go!"
Sun Ce smiled and said, "Brother Yun is really concise!" He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and smiled bitterly; "It seems that this is the only thing now! It is better to retreat early than to retreat late. We will immediately withdraw the camp and retreat!"
Not long after, Zhao Yun and Ju Su both received reports from scouts, saying that Sun Ce's army had withdrawn overnight. The three of them were a little surprised. They had originally planned to attack Sun Ce's camp the next day, but now it seems that this plan cannot be implemented.
...
A large sea ship was heading south along the coast. This was a merchant ship that traded south and north, and belonged to the Qin family, a large merchant in Luoyang. Although the Sun family in Jiangdong is fighting with Lu Bu, it has not had much impact on this large merchant from Luoyang. His merchant ship went south and north and went smoothly, without anyone stopping it. At this time, Huang Yueying, who was dressed as a man on the deck, and her close maid was looking at the endless sea view in front of her. The maid exclaimed: "I have heard people talk about the sea for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing!" Huang Yueying had never seen the sea before, and she was as shocked as she was, but after the shock, she became curious about the other side of the sea. Is the sea still the other side of the sea? Or is it another endless land? She couldn't help but imagine that she had the urge to find out.
However, this idea was just thinking about it after all. She knew that it had been too long for her trip to go out, so her father must be very anxious, so it would be better to go back to Xiangyang as soon as possible.
More than ten days later, the sea boat was sailing into Songjiang and heading west along Songjiang until Wujun, which is now the port outside Suzhou City. The two masters said goodbye to the boss of the ship and took their horses to the shore. After sitting for more than ten days, the two men felt dizzy and uncomfortable. They rested on the road for a long time before they recovered. Then the two masters and maids entered Wujun City along the broad road connecting Wujun. As soon as they entered the city, different Jiangnan styles immediately came into view. Huang Yueying was very interested in all the novel things, and was attracted by many things he had never seen before selling on both sides of the street, and kept asking different bosses for questions. If the maid had not pulled her away hard, she would not know how long she would have to delay on the street.
The two masters and maids rested in an inn and prepared to rest for one night. They would go to the port to return to Xiangyang early tomorrow morning. Although Wujun is high and far away from Xiangyang, there are waterways connected. Moreover, because Xiangyang and Wujun are both prosperous places of this era, unless the two places start war, there will be merchant ships and passenger ships going between the two places. Now that the two masters and maids have arrived in Wujun, they are not worried about the way back to Xiangyang.
The master and maids were exhausted all the way, and they were very tired at this moment, and they had no intention of going to visit Wujun City, so they went to bed early to rest.
When they slept until midnight, a huge shouting came from outside. The master and his maids woke up in shock and rubbed their sleepy eyes. Huang Yueying asked the maid: "Why are there so noisy outside?" The maid said in a daze: "Who knows! It must be that the people here have some strange customs!" As he said that, he turned his body sideways and fell asleep again.
Huang Yueying said angrily: "What a lazy girl!" Then she got off the couch, walked to the window, opened the window and looked outside. Only then did she realize that other rooms in the inn had opened the windows, and many people looked outside like her. They were all silently talking.
