Liu Xian frowned and said, "Although Yanran and the others fought beautifully in this battle, they won a lot of luck. The situation between the two sides has not changed now, and Cao Cao may still turn defeat into victory!"

He turned around and looked at Diao Chan and asked, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

Diao Chan said: "My husband should know better than me. Even if all parties start to act immediately after receiving the order, it will take at least half a month to arrive at the Huainan battlefield!"

Liu Xian naturally knew this, but he was worried that he would ask this question.

Diao Chan glanced at Liu Xian and couldn't help but fight: "Husband, don't worry. Although there are many enemies in Jiangdu, they are inferior to ours in any way.

Therefore, although the forces of the two sides are very different, their overall combat power should be quite similar. Sister Yanran has occupied the local area and defended it, so she can definitely be safe."

Liu Xian frowned and said, "After that being said, this man, once he fights his life in a desperate situation, it is quite terrifying! Now Cao's army is like a trapped beast in a difficult situation! It is hard to say what can happen!"

Diao Chan felt that what Liu Xian said made sense, and couldn't help but worry.

Liu Xian thought of something and asked: "Is there any news about Wei Yan?"

Diao Chan shook her head and said, "I haven't received a report from General Wei Yan."

Liu Xian couldn't help but say annoyed: "Why hasn't this guy heard yet? If you count by time, there should be news at this time!?"

Hailing is a city located seventy or eighty miles east of Guangling. It is now Taizhou City. Although it is nearly a hundred miles away from the coast, it is a city developed by the ocean and by ocean trade.

In this war-torn years, Hailing City is in peace. The war is taking place in the west at this moment. For the people of Hailing City, it seems that it has nothing to do with them.

At this moment, the guardian of Hailing was Cao Cao's daughter Cao Xian, with only 5,000 soldiers and 6,000 horses. As for the current situation, it should be enough to have these 5,000 or 6,000 people.

Cao Xian stood on the city wall in military uniform and looked at the west, frowning tightly, looking worried.

At this time, an officer hurriedly came and reported to Cao Xian: "Miss, I just received the battle report..."

Cao Xian asked hurriedly: "Haven and the others have already captured Jiangdu?"

The officer looked solemn and clasped his fists and said, "According to the war report, our army's actions were not successful. A big battle last night not only failed to break through the city, but also lost a lot of people..."

Cao Xian felt anxious, and then a depressed feeling surged up, and he couldn't help but sigh.

An officer hurriedly climbed the city wall, came straight behind Cao Xian, and bowed: "Miss Qi, the Wu army sent a messenger to say that their reinforcements were landing on the east coast and were coming here."

Cao Xian was surprised and asked, "Reinforcements from Eastern Wu?"

The officer nodded.

The officer standing next to Cao Xian said with joy: "This is really a timely help! Our army is in a critical moment, and they are here!"

Cao Xian looked at the officer who came to report the news and asked, "Where is the messenger?"

"Awaiting the news under the city!"

Cao Xian said: "Bring him up immediately."

The officer shouted and ran down, and after a moment he led a young Eastern Wu officer with a poor appearance and purple skin like ordinary fishermen.

The Eastern Wu officer saw Cao Xian and immediately folded his fists and said, "Little man, General Huang Gai's subordinate, I have seen the lady!"

Cao Xian looked at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

The officer of the Wu army said: "When you come back to Miss, the Grand Governor and the King of Wu consider the dangerous situation in Huainan and the powerful force of the bandit army. Just in case, they specially ordered General Huang Gai to lead our navy army to reinforce!"

Cao Xian smiled and said, "The Grand Commander and the King of Wu are really righteous! The Eastern Wu naval army suffered heavy losses in the previous Battle of Sanjiangkou. Now only the naval army formed later is left, barely defending the Yangtze River.

Unexpectedly, the Grand Governor and the King of Wu were worried about the trouble and sent you here at this time!"

The officer Wu Jun looked like he didn't know how to answer.

Cao Xian looked at the officer and asked, "How long will it take for General Huang Gai's reinforcements to arrive?"

The officer of the Wu army clasped his fists and said, "We will arrive at night today. The Grand Governor and the King of Wu meant that we would go to the main battlefield of Jiangdu, so our army could not stay for more, and would only stay here for one night. Please ask the lady to prepare food and grass for our army."

Cao Xian nodded and said, "Of course, go back and tell General Huang Gai, please rest assured that the friendly troops of the Eastern Wu are so righteous, we will never neglect our friends!"

The officer of Wu Jun clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, the villain went back to report his life."

Cao Xian nodded.

The Wu army officer bowed to Cao Xian and hurried away.

That night, just as the sun set, 20,000 Wu troops arrived at the city of Hailing. A general with full clothes came out and shouted to the city wall: "I am Huang Gai, deputy governor of the Wu Navy. Please open the city gate immediately!"

Cao Xian stood on the city wall and whispered: "General Huang Gai and all the brothers from the Eastern Wu have worked hard all the way. I will open the city gate."

Huang Gai said, "I'm working hard."

Cao Xian said to the officer beside him: "Open the city gate."

The officer replied, rushed to the city gate and directed the soldiers to open the city gate.

Seeing that the city gate had opened, Huang Gai immediately led a large army into the city.

The team entered the city gate in a marching shape.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong...! The rapid sound of war drums suddenly sounded. Countless Cao army officers and soldiers immediately appeared on the surrounding houses and city walls, and everyone held strong bows and crossbows to aim at the Wu army who had entered the city!

Seeing this, Wu Jun immediately took a fighting posture. Huang Gai turned his head and asked Cao Xian who was standing on the city wall: "Miss Cao, what do you mean?"

Cao Xian snorted coldly: "Damn thief, you dare to pretend to be the Wu army and make money from my city! You must not know yet. Not long ago, news came from the Eastern Wu that they had transferred the navy back to Poyang Lake, how could they appear here at this moment?

You are not Huang Gai at all!"

'Huang Gai' smiled and said jokingly: "I am worthy of being the daughter of that hero of Cao Cao! You have actually seen through it! You are right. I am not Huang Gai, but Wei Yan, the navy general who was conferred the title of His Majesty the Emperor of Han!"

Cao Xian opened his eyes and shouted, "It's you! Humph, this time you are really throwing yourself into the trap and seeking death!"

Although Wei Yan was surrounded, he was not nervous at all. He smiled and joked: "Ms. Cao is smart, but he doesn't understand that any strategy requires strength as a backing! If you open the city gate and let me enter the city, it will be your biggest miscalculation!"
