"Um."

Sun Quan nodded in response and agreed to Wu Jing's suggestion.

Cao Cao was a figure in the Sun Jian era, and he was the best player who stood out in that era and emerged as a champion in the competition for hegemony. Sun Quan was nervous when facing such a strong man so quickly.

While Sun Quan lowered his head and pondered, Wu Jing issued an order on his behalf.

"There are only three thousand Cao troops in Xiang'an, so you should eat them before they are unprepared. General Lu, you should take the troops in your headquarters to land first and block the enemy's retreat. Zhongmou and I will arrive later. Ten times the troops will definitely win."

"Okay, I'm just right to avenge Ji Ling."

Lu Mian, Zhang Xun, Ji Ling and Qiao Rui are the four most powerful generals under Yuan Shu. Because they stayed in Shouchun most of the time, they were not famous for the other three.

Not only did he have a comrade-in-law relationship with Ji Ling, but his two families were also in-laws. At this time, he had the opportunity to avenge his in-laws, so he happily took the order and left.

After all, Wu Jing is a long-time general on the battlefield. Even though Jiangdong is now ten times more powerful than Cao, he is still not careless at all. He just said "crazy words" to motivate the soldiers.

Lu Mian commanded his troops to leave the brigade, and Wu Jing secretly called Lu Meng to his side and whispered: "Zi Ming, Cao's thief is very powerful. Even if he takes Xiang'an back now, I don't have the confidence to defeat his main force. You can go to Guangling and invite Zhou Lang to help. Such a strong enemy must do its best."

"Uh yes. Just."

Lu Meng first agreed, then showed a tangled expression and asked in a low voice: "The lord often has instructions, should I ask for instructions?"

"No need." Wu Jing reached out to interrupt: "I will talk to Zhongmou. Now that the military situation is urgent, Ziming will set off quickly."

"Vei." Lu Meng held his fists and took the order.

Wu Jing watched Lu Meng walk towards the bottom of the ship, thinking that outsiders can't see the relationship between Zhong Mou and Zhou Lang. As his uncle, I know very well. Sun Quan once followed his mother to surrender to him, and he had long seen that this child was very serious.

No matter what starting point is Zhou Yu leading troops to help the king, he will definitely plant the seeds of doubt in Sun Quan's heart. In addition, he later heard the rumors that Zhou Yu overturned Sun Quan's food cauldron, Wu Jing could confirm that Sun Quan had an objection to Zhou Yu.

As for Zhou Yu himself, Wu Jing believed in his loyalty and righteousness. Both of them followed Sun Ce to conquer Jiangdong and established a love affair with each other.

At this time, Cao Cao attacked Zhou Yu's hometown Lujiang, and Wu Jing believed that Zhou Yu would come to support him both public and private.

It takes half a day to travel by land from Ruxu Shuikou to Xiang'an County, but it only takes two hours to travel by water.

Because he was going upstream, Lu Mian led his soldiers to rush around and quickly left Wu Jing and Sun Quan's main ship and landed half an hour in advance.

Wu Jing followed closely as planned and landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River twenty miles southeast of Xiang'an.

When the soldiers of various troops were disembarking, Wu Jing stopped Sun Quan on the deck of the main ship and advised him: "These warships are the lifelines of my Jiangdong. They cannot be attacked like Shaopi. Cao's army came from afar and had not yet established a foothold. I believe they will be taken back soon. Please ask Zhongmou to take command on the ship and make a decision after I have tested the truth."

"It's OK."

Sun Quan nodded and replied, seeing Wu Jing turn around and shout, reminding him: "Uncle, Cao Cao has a well-equipped tiger and leopard cavalry. When you use troops, you should pay attention to the left and right wings, and don't let this cavalry tear the formation to pieces."

Wu Jing waved his hand gently: "Don't worry Zhongmou is almost ten times our troops. If Xiang'an really comes to the tiger and leopard cavalry, he will definitely be trapped in a useless place in the city."

"Be careful anyway."

"I can save it."

After accepting Sun Quan's "nagging", Wu Jing quickly prepared his troops to advance towards Xiang'an. He had been in the army for many years and knew that the speed of troops was the most important. He was worried that the rear army would not receive timely enough, which would put Lu Mian's five thousand vanguards in trouble. After all, how many Cao Cao had gone to Lujiang, and at this time, Jiangdong was confused.

In May, the Yangtze River is clear and the two sides are full of vitality and the scenery is pleasant. A large group of people left the boat and traveled ashore. At this time, Sun Quan was like a left-behind child walking around the deck, bored.

The information Jiangdong had at this time, except for what Huang Yi saw in Xiang'an, which was the only words left by Chen Lan before. This feeling made Sun Quan feel unsure, and he thought how many people had come to Cao's thief?

Sun Quan paced back and forth on the deck, sometimes looking at the hazy scenery across the river, sometimes gazing at the direction of Wu Jing's march into Xiang'an, and constantly repeating the scene of the defeat of Shouchun last year in his mind.

At this moment, Sun Quan suddenly realized, shouldn't Cao Cao go to fight Yuan Shao? Why did he drive the army to Huainan? This is completely contrary to his plan. What went wrong?

Soon, Sun Quan thought of Chen Lan.

It was all this guy who made his own decisions. If he didn't defeat Xiahou Dun in Zipeng Mountain, how could Cao's thief go south?

Thinking of this, Sun Quan suddenly saw Huang Yi and two followers fishing at the stern of the boat on the bottom floor. Several people were talking and laughing and feeling very comfortable.

With the enemy in front of them, they actually have the intention to fish?

How can you compete with Cao Zhe? You must tighten the left-behind soldiers.

Sun Quan did what he thought of, and he quickly walked to the bottom and appeared behind Huang Yi.

"My brother-in-law is so comfortable."

"Master!"

When Huang Yi heard that it was Sun Quan's voice, he hurriedly threw the fishing rod aside and saluted respectfully.

Although both of them were Yuan Shu's son-in-law and Sun Quan could call Huang Yi's brother-in-law, Huang Yi did not dare to call Sun Quan's brother-in-law, and it seemed too friendly to call him the word "天子卡".

Sun Quan glanced at the fish basket next to him and found that there was nothing inside. He asked with a smile: "What? Isn't it easy to catch here? Why don't there be a single fish? Do you want to change to a quiet place?"

"No, no."

Huang Yi heard Sun Quan was talking sarcastically, waved his hand and shook his head and strongly denied it. Then he explained with a smile: "I didn't know how to fish, but I just sat here to bask in the sun, and took a fishing rod to play with it."

“Battle the sun?”

Sun Quan thought to himself that Huang Yi would not even lie, but the day had already tilted westward. To bask in the sun, you should go to the bow rather than the stern.

Seeing Sun Quan's expression, Huang Yi immediately realized something was wrong and quickly explained: "The bow of the ship is too conspicuous, I don't want to set a bad example."

Sun Quan nodded slightly: "You know it's wrong, so don't forget that your opponent is Cao Cao, and you can't be careless at all. If the soldiers of each ship are so lazy, they will suffer losses if they encounter an enemy attack."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Huang Yi lowered his head and had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes.

For the sake of Yuan's face, Sun Quan did not argue with Huang Yi too much, but instead asked: "You Chen Lan had obtained information before and withdrew from Shu County as soon as possible. Did he reveal how many people there were in Cao's army?"

"No."

Huang Yi shook his head, "But General Chen has more than 10,000 troops. He abandoned the city and fled so resolutely. The total strength of Cao's army should not be short."
