Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 445 Yangzhou War, Guo Jia, Jia Xu Fighting Zhou Yu



Guo Jia's [-] troops in Guangling County received Cao Shuo's military order to capture Guangling County before winter, and joined Tang Mao in Kuaiji County.

Generals Zang Ba, Cao Bao, Yan Liang, Hua Xiong, counselors Guo Jia, Xu You, Guo Tu and others left behind in Xuzhou divided their troops into three groups to attack Huaiyin, Huaipu and Yandu counties.

Sun Ce's generals Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Chen Wu who stayed in Guangling County were in emergency one after another and asked Sun Ce for help.

In Wujun, the capital of the state of Wu, Sun Ce summoned his generals to discuss state affairs.

Zhang Zhao said: "Guo Jia of Guangling County has already started mobilizing troops to station on the bank of the Huaihe River, and he intends to cross the river."

"Outside Yandu City, Gan Ning transported no less than [-] soldiers. General Cao Shuo, Hua Xiong, and counselor Guo Tu led a large army to besiege Yandu. General Chen Wu may not be able to support him alone."

"hiss!"

All the ministers gasped, they didn't expect Cao Shuo to move so fast, and even three roads marched in parallel. Are they planning to drive them out of the south bank of the Yangtze River before winter?
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "Gong Jin, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty, right now we must prevent the opponent from crossing the Huaihe River. Although Cao Shuo's navy is powerful, it relies entirely on large ships. Large ships cannot sail in the Huaihe River. We can send small boats to block the Huaihe River."

"In addition, send generals to contain Gan Ning on the sea to support Yandu City."

Sun Ce asked, "Who can take on this job?"

Zhou Yu suggested: "Lu Zijing has a great strategy and can stop Guo Jia. It is better to let Zijing command the Guangling army, and send Quan Rou and Quan Cong to assist."

"it is good!"

Sun Ce looked at the three of them and said, "Zijing, Xiaozhen, and Zihuang, you three will lead an army of [-] to support Guangling County."

"promise!"

Zhou Yu also said: "Although Gan Ning and Zhou Tai are brave, they are both reckless men. If you want to contain them, you need to be brave and resourceful to complete the task. I recommend Zhu Huan to lead an army of [-] and a thousand ships. , at sea, dealing with Gan Ning's army."

"Huu Mu, go to Lou County immediately to mobilize warships!"

"promise!"

Yan Jian worried, "Your Majesty, we have invested so many troops in Guangling County, if Tang Mao from Kuaiji County suddenly attacks, how should we respond?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty Mancai, don't worry. Zhejiang is blocked by our warships. Wu County is full of checkpoints and traps. As long as Tang Mao's cavalry dares to come to Wu County, he will never return."

In order to guard against Tang Mao's cavalry, they set up many small checkpoints and camps in Wujun, which were specially used to guard against cavalry raids.

Especially in Qiantang and Fuchun counties, where the stone city walls are connected together, it would be foolish to attack them.

Zhou Yu is quite confident in his arrangement, even if Jia Xu has supernatural powers, he would not even think about stepping into Wu County.

Moreover, Tang Mao's navy did not develop so quickly, which made him more confident. As long as Tang Mao came to Wu County, he would be sure to break through the coastline of Kuaiji directly.

However, as soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, a guard ran in hastily.

"My lord, Tang Mao's general Huang Zhong led [-] cavalry and stationed at the Zhejiang side on the other side of Fuchun."

Zhou Yu frowned, did Tang Mao team up with Guo Jia to attack their country of Wu?

Sun Ce's expression darkened, and he said, "Huang Gai, Gong Qiu Cheng, and Zhu Zhi, the three of you go to the barracks to count [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. Come with me to Fuchun."

Zhou Yu dissuaded, "Your Majesty, Huang Zhong's troops are all cavalry, and it is impossible for them to pass through Zhejiang. We should guard against them using their navy to send troops toward Haiyan."

"Huang Zhong's cavalry is just a bait to attract the main force of our army, and then send the navy to attack Haiyan."

Sun Ce felt that Zhou Yu's analysis made sense, Huang Zhong only brought cavalry, and that purpose was too obvious.

"Gongjin thinks how many soldiers we should send?"

Zhou Yu said confidently: "I personally lead an army of [-] troops stationed in Qiantang County, in charge of the defense line on the west coast of Zhejiang. My lord is in Wujun County, just to guard against Tang Mao's sneak attack."

After Zhou Yu led an army of [-] troops into Qiantang, Zhu Zhi, the guard of Qiantang, asked worriedly: "The governor, Huang Zhong is brave and invincible. If there is no master to stop him, who can stop Huang Zhong?"

Zhou Yu said slightly angrily: "My Eastern Wu navy is invincible. Could it be that Huang Zhong can't be stopped above Zhejiang?"

Seeing that Zhou Yu was angry, Zhu Zhi didn't ask any more questions.

All they can do now is to block Huang Zhong from crossing the river with warships.

Zhou Yu stayed here for two days. What made him puzzled was that Huang Zhong had only stationed a large camp here, and the army had never come out of the camp.

He frowned and asked, "Zhu Zhi, are you sure there are [-] cavalry in this camp?"

Zhu Zhi said embarrassingly: "There were indeed [-] before, but after so many days, it's hard to say whether they left at night."

"Send someone to check immediately!"

Zhou Yu had a bad idea, and always felt that Huang Zhong had some purpose.

The spies came back in less than two hours.

"Reporting to the governor, there is no one in the opposite camp, and there are scarecrows inside."

Zhou Yu asked incredulously, "What's the matter with the cooking smoke in the camp?"

"The opponent used green grass and green wood, which burned very slowly and smoky."

"hateful!"

Zhou Yu's face was livid with anger, an empty camp had confused him for two days.

Zhu Zhi suggested: "Gongjin, are we going to cross the river and occupy the camp?"

"Just send soldiers to burn it, we don't need to send a large army across the river."

Zhou Yu didn't want to expose his army to the wilderness, so it was better to stay in Wu County.

However, as soon as Zhou Yu burned down the camp, some soldiers came to report.

"Reporting to the governor, Huang Zhong's [-] troops suddenly appeared in Yuji, built a large camp by the river, and started making ships at the same time."

"what?"

Zhou Yu was terrified. What did Huang Zhong plan to do? Could it be that he had to cross the river from Yuji?

"Xu Jiao, you lead [-] soldiers to patrol the west bank of Yuji, and don't let any of the opponent's ships cross the river."

"promise!"

"Report, Huang Zhong's army suddenly divided into five thousand, and built a big camp near Xiaoshan."

For five days in a row, Zhou Yu received news of Huang Zhong building camps. In five days, Huang Zhong built ten camps, but he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Zhu Zhi asked worriedly: "Commander, Huang Zhong's ten camps are all twenty miles apart, so it seems to be of some use."

Zhu Ran, Zhu Zhi's nephew, said: "The opponent's ten camps are guarded by soldiers, and Huang Zhong has only [-] troops. If we pretend to attack nine of them and focus on one of them, we will surely destroy one of their camps and slowly eat away at them. His army."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn't have many cavalry, and he was not as strong as the opponent's. Let alone cannibalizing the opponent's cavalry, he might be nibbled by the opponent one by one.

"No, this is probably Jia Xu's scheme, trying to lure us across the river, and then wait for an opportunity to attack our army."

He, Zhou Yu, is not that stupid, just stick to it now, there is no need to risk crossing the river.

After waiting for another day, Zhou Yu received a piece of news that moved his heart. Tang Mao sent Tai Shici to replace Huang Zhong. At the same time, he took away [-] cavalry and let Tai Shici's [-] infantry take over the camp.

Zhu Zhi said excitedly: "Governor, don't miss this opportunity. This is the best time to defeat the opponent and weaken the opponent's strength."

Huang Zhong's camp was only [-] steps away from the river. Although their bows and arrows couldn't reach it, they could see the situation in the camp from the boat.

There are indeed not many horses in the camps, and the ten camps add up to more than 1000 horses. These are the war horses of generals, and they will not play much role at all.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "3000 people in each camp seems to be a lot, but in fact the attack power is limited. Tonight we..."

Zhou Yu stopped suddenly, then shook his head and said, "Not right, not right!"

After waiting for another day, Wang Lin, the guard of Tonglu, suddenly sent soldiers for help.

"Report to the governor, General Tang Mao, Huang Zhong, who suddenly led the cavalry to build a ferry in Tonglu!"

"what?"

Zhou Yu wiped off his cold sweat. This Huang Zhong left ten camps to confuse himself, so he went to attack Tonglu.

Zhu Zhi said: "Gong Jin, if there is a mistake in Tonglu, our defense by the river will be useless."

"Zhu Ran, you lead [-] soldiers and rush to Tonglu as quickly as possible, and defend Tonglu to the death. You must not let the other side cross the river."

"promise!"

Zhou Yu became serious. If Huang Zhong couldn't cross the river in Tonglu, where would he go next.

Should we go back to Yuji, or continue to the south and cross the Gushui!

Is this forcing yourself to cross the river?
If he doesn't pull out several large camps on the opposite side, his forces will soon be dispersed.

"Notify the navy Dazhai in Haiyan County to send [-] sailors to harass the north of Yuji. I don't believe that Huang Zhong won't return to the army."

However, what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that all the camps by the seaside of Yuji were empty, and Wu Jun occupied many camps.

After Zhou Yu got the news, he looked terrified. Could it be that he was repeating his old trick, trying to trick himself into fighting them on land?

"I ordered them to burn the camp and withdraw from Kuaiji County."

"Report, the navy that attacked Kuaiji was suddenly blocked in the camp by the opposing cavalry."

"This……"

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes angrily, this group of wastes went to rob the other party's camp.

Zhu Zhi said: "Commander, [-] troops have to be rescued. They are forcing us to cross the river to rescue them."

"Report!"

Zhou Yu's legs went limp. Although the soldier who came to report didn't say anything, he knew this person. This was his brother Zhou Hui.

Seeing his bloodstained and distressed appearance, Zhou Yu felt that he had to cross the river.

"Great governor, the last general is incompetent and lost Jiande."

Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "Who leads the army?"

"Tang Mao's military advisor Jia Xu, generals Dong Xi and Wen Ji."

Jiande is the southernmost town in Wu County. Tang Mao's army broke through Zhejiang, and the next stop was to attack Tonglu from land.

If they gain a firm foothold in Tonglu, Huang Zhong's army will abandon Tonglu and cross the river in the direction of Jiande.

In Jia Xu's camp at the foot of Fuchun Mountain, Huang Zhong laughed and said, "Thanks to Mr.'s ingenious plan, our [-] troops crossed Zhejiang."

Jia Xu said slowly, "General, don't be too happy. If Zhou Yu breaks through Yu Ji's camp, we will have to retreat."

Wen Ji on the side said: "Since the military adviser has already thought of this step, is there no follow-up arrangement?"

Jia Xu narrowed her eyes, pointed at Fuchun Mountain and said, "General, how many soldiers and horses can be hidden in this mountain?"

Huang Zhong was taken aback, did Jia Xu pretend to withdraw his troops, and then set up an ambush here?
Great plan, if they retreat, Tonglu's defenders will definitely send troops to take Jiande, if they sneak attack from behind, can they escape?

Huang Zhong reminded: "If I don't show up in Yuji, I'm afraid Zhou Yu won't be fooled either."

Jia Xu said: "Among Sun Ce's army, there are not many who can fight against General Wen Ji."

As soon as Wen Ji heard this, he understood Jia Xu's meaning. He wanted to let himself lead the army and deal with Sun Ce's army in Wujun.

"The final general asks the two to help each other."

Jia Xu said: "Look at who you want, as long as it's not General Huang and Dong Xi, you can pick anything else."

"He Qi, Gu Yong!"

"it is good!"

"Gong Miao and Yuan Tan stay here. The three of you discuss and act. I will give you two thousand elite soldiers, all equipped with the second generation of Xuanjia, equipped with Liannu, Hengdao Modao, and four thousand horses."

Wenji was startled, the lord distributed [-] sets of second-generation Xuanjia armor, but Jia Xu unexpectedly left them all.

"I will definitely turn this Wu County upside down."
