Chapter 394 Aggression is like fire

Wu Jing suddenly heard that Lu Bu's army had captured Niuzhu again, and felt a bolt from the blue and was completely at a loss! Dong Xi was still calm and said anxiously: "Niuzhu is lost, Danyang is in danger! We have to return to Danyang quickly! Otherwise, if Danyang falls again, the consequences will be really unimaginable!" Wu Jing then reacted, nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly ordered the army to stop advancing and return to Danyang. The 25,000 troops left Danyang for only more than a day and hurriedly turned around and rushed back to Danyang!

They rushed away so quickly that they were out of breath. In just over half a day, they had already arrived at a place only ten miles away from Danyang. But at this moment, the scout who had investigated the news first ran back in panic, rolled off the saddle, and said anxiously: "Not good! No! Danyang, Danyang was occupied by Lu Bu's army!" Wu Jing and Dong Xi were shocked. Wu Jing shouted in disbelief: "How is this possible? Why is it so fast?" The scout said anxiously: "Yes, it's Lu Bu! He personally led the war cavalry to attack Danyang! Danyang has no soldiers, so they were seized in an instant!" Wu Jing was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Dong Xi clasped his fists and said: "Sir, for the sake of the current plan, you can only withdraw from Kuaiji immediately, and send someone to Chaisang for help!"

Wu Jing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's it!"

However, at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the west. Wu Jing had not yet reacted, but Dong Xi changed color and said, "No! It's the enemy's cavalry!" Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion in front of him. Wu Jing and Dong Xi couldn't help but look up and saw that the officers and soldiers in front were running down in chaos. Behind them, the horses and tigers were riding their horses and chasing them like wolves and tigers, were the Lu Bu's cavalry. The leading generals, the white horse and silver spear, rushed to the front as if they had entered a no-man's realm. No one on his own officers and soldiers were all his generals.

Dong Xi glared at his eyes and shouted: "It's Zhao Yun!" Then he rushed to Wu Jing, who was panicking and wanted to escape, shouting: "Sir, lead the brigade to retreat! I will lead people to resist him!" Wu Jing quickly turned his head and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!" In fact, he didn't need to shout, the 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command were already running for life like a rush.

...

Wu Jing panicked and fled south, and finally fled to Kuaiji a few days later. As soon as the shock was settled, a scout rushed over. Wu Jing thought it was Lu Bu's army chasing him, so he couldn't help but panic and asked, "Is Lu Bu's army chasing him?" The scout clasped his fists and said, "Report to the Lord, Lu Bu's army did not chase him, it was General Dong Xi who was back!" Before he finished speaking, footsteps came from the door. Wu Jing looked up and saw Dong Xi's blood covered in blood.

The officer helped him and walked in, knelt down on one knee, and bowed, "Sir, I'm back!" Wu Jing was moved, and hurriedly left his seat and ran to help Dong Xi up, and said excitedly, "That's great! I'm still worried about you!" Dong Xi sighed, "Although I was lucky enough to break out of the siege, my five thousand troops!" When he said this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and he could no longer say anything, his eyes were filled with tears.

Wu Jing couldn't help but sigh and said, "I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! How could Lu Bu mobilize so many troops to attack us? No abnormalities were found in Xuzhou?" Wu Jing looked a little annoyed. He thought that the Lu Bu army that attacked his side had at least 100,000 troops, and he had no idea that the Lu Bu army had a total of only 40,000 troops.

After hearing Wu Jing's words, Dong Xi couldn't help but look confused. Then he remembered something and asked with his fists: "Sir, I wonder how many soldiers there are here?" Wu Jing sighed and said: "It was in chaos at that time, and there were only about 15,000 officers and soldiers who escaped. It is hard for us to achieve this little bit of soldiers. Now it depends on whether the lord and the others can lead the army back to the rescue in time!" Dong Xi frowned and nodded.

Lu Su, who was in Chaisang, suddenly received an urgent report. He was shocked when he learned that Lu Bu's army had suddenly attacked and seized the news of Wujun and Danyang in one fell swoop. Zhang Zhao, who was present, looked shocked, and then shouted in anger to the officer who came to report the news: "Is this news true? Why did Lu Bu's army suddenly cross the river?" The officer said anxiously: "It's true! The specific situation is not very clear, but only knows that Wujun and Danyang have indeed been lost! Lord Wu Jing and General Dong Xi sent villains to report the news and requested Lord Lu Su to quickly dispatch a large army to reinforce! Now Lord Wu Jing and General Dong Xi have retreated to Kuaiji, but if Lord Lu Su cannot send reinforcements quickly, Kuaiji will be in danger!"

Zhang Zhao said anxiously, "Zijing, you must send troops to help immediately!" Lu Su showed hesitation, paced back and forth, frowned and said, "That Xu Shu was extremely deceitful. This person's strategy was definitely not inferior to Jia Xu. I was worried that he would expect that the Chaisang defender would rush to help Kuaiji? If so, I am afraid that somewhere on the way had already prepared a trap and was waiting for us to jump in! Or maybe a soldier was ambushing near Chaisang, and waited for the army to leave and take the opportunity to seize Chaisang!" Zhang Zhao and the officer were both shocked and felt at a loss. Zhang Zhao asked, "Then, what should we do?"

Lu Su paced back and forth, frowned tightly. He stopped and said in a deep voice: "Chaisang cannot make any mistakes. Therefore, the defenders of Chaisang must not move..." Zhang Zhao was silent for a moment and frowned, "If this is the case, what should I do with the membership?" Lu Su sighed and said, "You can only rely on Wu Jingdong Xi and others!" Then he walked to the back of the desk and sat down, picked up his pen, unfolded a blank bamboo slip, and quickly wrote a letter. After checking, he got up and walked to the officer in the hall, handed the bamboo slip to him, and said, "You should hurry back to your membership immediately and hand my letter to Wu Jingdong Xi." The officer took the letter, bowed and agreed, and then hurried away.

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but say, "Zi Jing's decision should be correct. But in this way, the membership will be like falling!"

Lu Su turned around and shook his head and said, "This may not be necessary. Although the report of Wu Jingdong's attack on Dong's attack said that the Lu Bu army was powerful and had more than 100,000 people, I don't think so much. The Lu Bu army should be the 20,000 naval army plus the army of Lujiang and Guangling...." Zhang Zhao couldn't help but say, "This is not right! According to the report of Wu Jingdong's attack on Dong's attack, the Lu Bu army clearly used a large army to detour the sea to raid Wujun. It is speculated that there were 50,000 or 60,000 troops. Soon after, another army raided Niuzhu and attacked Danyang. There should be 50,000 or 60,000 troops. Didn't these two armies add up to more than 100,000 casually?"

Lu Su shook his head and said, "These are all illusions! I will never believe that Lu Bu can transfer their army from the north without knowing it! If Lu Bu's army really does take such actions, how could it be unaware of so many fine works in Xuzhou? Lu Bu is not a god! As for the loss of Danyang in Wujun, it is because we were negligent and the opponent is too cunning! Attack Wujun first and then Niuzhu, this is a sound attack and another sound attack! Xu Shu's method is really amazing!" Then he said to Zhang Zhao: "Brother Zibu, although the situation is critical now, our army still has a chance to turn defeat into victory! As long as the lord and the others immediately lead the army to turn around, we may take advantage of the real main force of the enemy to cross the river to drive out and even annihilate the enemy that invaded our territory before crossing the river!"

Then he ran back to the back of the book case, picked up the pen and wrote a letter quickly. He put the letter into a cloth bag and packed it, shouting, "Come here!" A general came in immediately, bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Sir!" Lu Su stood up with the cloth bag and walked to the general, handed the cloth bag to his hands, and ordered, "Send the most reliable command officer immediately and handed the letter to the lord as quickly as possible! Remember, it is important, and you must not delay, nor do you make any mistakes!" The general took the cloth bag, responded to promise, and hurried away.

Lu Su looked at the general's back as he was leaving and couldn't help frowning.

At the same time, in the forest opposite Chaisang, the five thousand men led by Ailang and Xu Shu were hiding in it. The camp tent was scattered in the dense forest. Under the cover of the woods, people outside the woods would never have dreamed that there would be a soldier hidden in it. Ailang and Jia Xu were standing in front of the map discussing the current war. At this moment, Dian Wei led a young man dressed as a fisherman and walked in quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the fine work sent to Chaisang is back!" Ailang and Jia Xu immediately raised their heads. The young man immediately stepped forward and said, "God of the General! Meet the Military Advisor!"

Ailang said: "No need to be polite, get up and talk." The young man stood up and clasped his fists and said: "General, Sun Jianjun of Chaisang did not move anyway. He only had some fast horses in and out not long ago."

Ailang was surprised and looked at Xu Shu and said, "Old Xu, Lu Su was not trapped?"

Xu Shu smiled slightly and thought, "I heard that Lu Su is the second most intelligent figure in Jiangdong after Zhou Yu. I believe our strategy has been seen through by him..."

Ailang nodded and asked, "What should I do now?" Xu Shu thought, "Since the other party has seen through our plan, he will definitely make an emergency to Sun Jian. At most ten days, Sun Jian will definitely lead the main force back..." Then he clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "Lord, we will destroy the membership Sun Jianjun first, and then fight Sun Jianjun in Danyang!" Ailang smiled, "Okay! Let's kill the membership enemy first, and then concentrate on dealing with Sun Jian's army!" Then he said with a teasing voice: "Sun Jian will be furious when he learned that we touched his butt!"
