Zhao Yun nodded, looked at the map in front of him and thought: "I originally hoped that this round of raid would be able to take Chaisang, but I didn't expect that it would finally fail!

It seems that Sun Quan is quite popular in Jiangdong, otherwise Chaisang City would not have gathered so many civilian troops in such a short time!”

A general clasped his fist and said, "General, the city of Chaisang is high and the river is wide, and there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and more than 100,000 civilians defending it. Now the advantage of the surprise attack is no longer there. With more than 20,000 cavalrymen, we may..."

Zhao Yun glanced at everyone and said, "We all think so, and the enemy naturally thinks so too. So we still have a chance."

Everyone looked at each other and felt that what Zhao Yun said was unfathomable.

At this moment, a scout hurried in and reported to Zhao Yun: "General, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao's army have returned to Xiazhi Pass. The vanguard is rushing to Chaisang, which is only fifty miles away from Chaisang!"

All the generals present were shocked and said in disbelief: "How fast is it?!"

Another general couldn't help but clasp his fists at Zhao Yun and said, "General, it seems that we have no chance to break through Chaisang!"

Zhao Yun frowned and said nothing.

At this moment, Lu Xun and Bu Lianshi in the city also received a report: "General Qibing, Qibing, the King of Wu and the King of Wei have led the army on the way back to aid. General Jiang Qin led 30,000 vanguards, less than fifty miles away from Chaisang!"

Everyone present was overjoyed when they heard this. Zhang Zhao said excitedly: "It's great! Reinforcements are coming, and our Chaisang's crisis is lifted!"

Lu Xun frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too early to be happy now, but his opponent is Zhao Yun..."

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "General is too worried! Although Zhao Yun is a famous general in the world, what can he do under the current circumstances?"

Lu Xun couldn't say it, but he always felt that Zhao Yun would never give up.

Later that day, Lu Xun and others who were discussing the matter suddenly received an urgent report, saying that Zhao Yun's army outside the city had retreated. Everyone was surprised and happy, and rushed to the Dongcheng Gate Tower to watch.

Sure enough, I saw that Zhao Yun's troops, who were originally camping outside the city, had already set up camp and retreated!

Zhang Zhao and Bu Lianshi both showed extremely happy expressions, and Zhang Zhao said excitedly: "It's great! The enemy retreats, and we, Chaisang, are safe!"

When Mr. Bu saw Lu Xun frowning, he couldn't help but feel strange and asked with a smile: "Why are the general so worried when the enemy retreats?"

Lu Xun immediately clasped his fists and said, "The general just felt that with Zhao Yun's reputation, it seemed that he shouldn't give up so easily..."

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "General Lu Xun is good at everything, but he is too cautious. He, Zhao Yun, must have learned that our army's main force is returning to defend Chaisang. If he is only tens of thousands of cavalry, he will be trapped in the encirclement of our army!

With Zhao Yun's shrewdness, he would naturally make a quick decision, give up attacking Chaisang and retreat quickly!"

Lu Xun nodded, then clasped his fists at Bu Lianshi and said, "Empress, although Lord Zhang is right, the general still feels that he shouldn't relax his vigilance!"

Mr. Bu Lian heard Lu Xun’s implicit meaning and smiled and said, “The general is the left-behind general who accepted his fate. These things are naturally the general!”

Lu Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that the princess would interfere with his command. Seeing Mr. Bu express his opinion like this, he felt most of his concern. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little sincere respect for the young princess!

Reinforcements were coming, and the news that Liu Xian's army had retreated soon spread throughout Chaisang. The officials and civilians who were originally in panic finally breathed a sigh of relief, and many people couldn't help but cheer. The city, which was originally terrifyingly quiet, became noisy.

Lu Xun was not as happy as others. He did not dare to relax his vigilance and came to patrol the city wall. Seeing that the officers and militias responsible for the alert had relaxed, he couldn't help but become furious and ordered the troops to remain vigilant and not make any mistakes!

Some officers were dissatisfied and even openly spreading words to fight against Lu Xun. Seeing this, Lu Xun immediately sent someone to take it down and prepare to be executed.

The officer was shocked and angry and shouted loudly: "Lu Xun, I was the first veteran to follow the Sun family. You are not qualified to kill me yet!" The officers and soldiers around were watching here, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little strange.

Lu Xun said with a stern expression: "In my eyes, there is only military law, nothing else. Since you are a veteran, you should abide by military law and serve as an example for officers and soldiers! Now you are openly disobeying military orders and inciting other officers and soldiers to be punished first, so you cannot be kept!

Come on, cut it for me!”

The two personal soldiers who grabbed the officer immediately pressed the officer down. The third personal soldiers raised their swords and heard a crack. With a rush of blood, a head rolled to the ground.

When the officers and soldiers around saw this scene, everyone was terrified and changed their colors and could not make any noise. Many people seemed to have met Lu Xun for the first time in their hearts.

Lu Xun glanced at the officers and soldiers present and shouted: "The situation is now serious, and anyone who disobeys the military order is such a consequence! Everyone obeys the order and continues to be on guard, and no mistakes are allowed!"

Everyone quickly agreed and did not dare to disobey at all.

At this time, an officer quickly came to Lu Xun's side and bowed to report: "General, reinforcements have arrived!"

Lu Xun was delighted and immediately rushed to the west gate with everyone.

Not long after, I came to the west gate tower and looked outside the city. Sure enough, I saw an army of about 5,000 people coming from outside the city, waiting to enter the city.

Lu Xun estimated the time. He received news before that the forward led by Jiang Qin was only fifty miles away from the city. Now that he has arrived, it is almost the same.

He glanced at the army outside the city, but did not see Jiang Qin, so he sang: "Forgive me, brothers under the city. Now that the enemy is in front of me, I cannot open the city gate casually. I must say a few words to the leader among you to let go. Where is the leader?"

A general-looking figure immediately appeared in the army outside the city, and he clasped his fists and said, "General Lu!"

Lu Xun looked at him, but didn't know him, so he asked, "What do you call him, whose subordinate you are?"

The general said loudly: "The last general Deng Bin is the subordinate of General Taishi Ci. He is now temporarily assigned to General Jiang Qin's command. He will come first. Please open the city gate and let us enter the city."

Seeing that the other party had no questions about the answer, Lu Xun nodded and asked again: "Does the general have the command arrow from the King of Wu?"

Deng Bin sang: "No! Because the matter is urgent, the King of Wu did not issue an order!"

Lu Xun felt that what the other party said made sense, but he believed that the other party did not have the command arrow from the King of Wu, and was not someone he knew. In this case, if the door was opened and allowed to go, there would still be many risks.

After thinking for a while, he clasped his fists and said, "God, General, I don't know the general, and the general does not have the command arrows of the King of Wu, so for the safety of Chaisang, I cannot open the city gate! I ask the general and his brothers to wait outside the city,

When General Jiang Qin arrives, I will open the city gate immediately!"
