A few days later,

Yizhou,

Zhang Ren was sitting in the camp, falling into deep thought. The people below were discussing fiercely.

"In recent days, Zhou Yu's reaction has been a bit abnormal."

"Didn't the Jiangdong Army have no food? Why not only did it not retreat? It also became more and more courageous in the battle?"

"Is it possible that I lied to us when I said I had no food?"

"No need to panic." Zhang Ren spoke, interrupting his subordinates' unreasonable panic. "If food shortage is a plan, then there will be deception and surrender in the future. But when did you see that the Jiangdong army retreat? Therefore, the lack of food must be true. At this time, Zhou Yu was either fighting for a trapped beast or..."

"General, is the news true?" The person below suddenly said weakly.

"How is that possible?!" Zhang Ren suddenly became angry, "More than 10,000 people disappeared and they disappeared. Do you believe it? Don't worry about the morale of the army here again!"

For a moment, everyone was silent. However, everyone was familiar with Zhang Ren. They knew that if they didn't really care about the news, Zhang Ren would never have had such a big reaction.

Of course, what these people don’t know is that in addition to worrying about this, Zhang Ren is also worried about something unusual in the Southern Barbarians recently. If he cannot withdraw from here in time, he still doesn’t know what chaos will happen to the Southern Barbarians. In order not to affect the morale of the army, this matter is still hidden for the time being.

At this time,

"General! There is an urgent report!"

“How to say it?”

"Sun Quan broke the pieces into pieces, dispersed more than 10,000 soldiers among the people, and was lurking towards us!"

"What?!"

Zhang Ren suddenly stood up,

"This is serious?"

"It's true!"

????????

Jingzhou,

Cihang Jingzhai Outer Gate,

"Sun Quan is probably trying to be careful."

"oh?"

"He broke the army into pieces, and part of it continued to stay near Xudu, disturbing the audio-visual, while the other part sneaked into our Jingzhou. If we hadn't arranged an insider in advance, we might not have discovered it."

"Sun Quan was indeed trying to seize Yizhou. He didn't even want to really hit Xu Du!"

"Yizhou? Xudu? Sun Quan divided his troops into two, half near Xudu north of Jingzhou, and half have penetrated into Jingzhou. How do you determine that Sun Quan's target is not us?" An elder suddenly said.

“?!”

"How dare he!"

"Sun Dengke is still in our hands!"

"The news just came from Jiangdong that a maid from the Sun family was pregnant and was taken by Mrs. Wu to take care of her."

"Sun Quan's?"

“It’s hard not to associate it so much.”

"What should I do now?"

"First let all localities stick to their feet and be prepared for war. At the same time, we will strictly investigate the internal situation and first find out the people!"

????????

Guandu, Caoying,

"I heard that Sun Quan broke the soldiers into pieces and scattered around Xudu. Xudu has become an isolated city."

"Now, no one of us can grasp Sun Quan's movements. We can only get some sporadic information. We can support Xu Du from any direction and transport grain to Xu Du. We may be intercepted by Sun Quan!"

"Yes, this is the most difficult place at present. The visible enemy is not scary, the invisible enemy is the invisible enemy. I am worried that Xu Du will collapse soon after he breaks off contact with the outside world. And when Xu Du surrenders, Sun Quan scatters people everywhere, and it is definitely not aimless. It is estimated that soon, with Xu Du's defeat and the imperial edict, the Jiangdong Army will immediately take over all the neighborhoods of Xu Du!"

"What is most worrying is the unstable rear, and the soldiers on the front line are panicked."

"...Xu Du, even if there is no such thing, we can't help but care. Let's believe Xun Yu. As long as Xu Du is not in chaos, it will take several months for Sun Quan to capture Xu Du!" Cao Cao said, "So, the most important thing now is our side, the morale issues of the army, and the food and grass issues!"

That's right, Cao Cao is also facing the problem of food and grass. In fact, as a whole, Cao's camp should not be short of food at present. However, Xun Yu was originally helping Cao Cao to provide reserve guarantees in the rear, but now Xun Yu is too busy to take care of himself. Cao's camp has no center, and the food and grass from various places cannot be collected and cannot be transported to the front line in time, so there is a shortage of food.

"Lord, someone outside the camp asked for a visit."

"who?"

"It's your old friend from the north."

????????

Xuzhou,

"General, there are only a group of new recruits on the opposite side. They are about to defeat them, so why did they suddenly recall me?"

On the surface, the Yuan family was a young general leading the troops this time, but in fact, it was Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang hiding in the dark to make the decision. Therefore, no matter what the situation ahead is, once Yan Liang's order is received, the young general dare not refuse to obey.

Yuan Shao is not stupid. Maybe he took the risk of attacking Jiangdong because of his son Yuan Tan, but since he had already borrowed the road, why didn't Yuan Shao take Xuzhou directly?

In Guandu, he had been stalemate with Cao Cao, so Yuan Shao naturally secretly had the idea of ​​attacking from the side. In order not to attract Cao Cao's Sun Quan's attention, Yan Liang, with a group of elite soldiers, kept pretending to be logistics and hiding in this inconspicuous team.

"Look at this." Yan Liang handed the young general a piece of information.

The young player took it and his face changed drastically.

"Sun Quan is coming to Xuzhou?!"

"Don't be nervous." Yan Liang stood up and patted the young general on the shoulder, "It just was this trend that doesn't mean that people are coming."

"But since there is a trend, who else in Xuzhou is worth Sun Quan doing this besides us?" The young general was puzzled.

Yan Liang preached,

"You don't understand now. What Sun Quan is best at is to suppress others with power. If you fight urgently, he may come over at any time. Otherwise..."

The young man's eyes lit up.

"On the contrary, if the stalemate cannot be reached here, Sun Quan believes that Xuzhou Wuyou will not lead troops!"

"You can teach me." Yan Liang smiled slightly and patted the young general's shoulder. When it comes to military use, his Yan family may not be worse than the Sun family!

"Don't be impulsive when encountering problems, slow down and be prepared for a long-term battle. Sun Quan's ability to suppress others with power also means that we can control Sun Quan in turn for the lord. We should practice our skills soon. Once Sun Quan relaxes his vigilance, it is our real opportunity to take action!"

"yes!"

????????

Jiangdong,

"Mr. Zhang, recently some unknown people have flocked to all over the place. We secretly checked it, but found that it was the lord's man."

Zhang Zhao frowned,

"You mean, the lord secretly sent half of the soldiers on Xudu front line back?"

"Is that lord really unwilling to hit Xu Du?"

"Don't think about it!" Zhang Zhao's face darkened and he said seriously, "I would like to remind our people to talk less recently, do more, stick to their posts, and not take extra actions."

"clear!"

Although Sun Quan always smiles on weekdays, Zhang Zhao knew that Sun Jian's lineage was a decisive and ruthless man! This time, all officials asked for the order, but Sun Quan did not intend to agree. Then Sun Quan secretly sent the front-line soldiers back without telling all the officials, including him, Zhang Zhao. The purpose is self-evident.

At this time, if there are still people who don’t have eyes, they may be held on their necks with a knife in their sleep!

Don’t think that just as Cheng Pu and others led their troops away, Jiangdong would become empty at this time!
Chapter completed!
