I haven't seen him for several years, but Guan Yu still looks like a handsome man, with a ruddy complexion and bright eyes. At this time, Guan Yu, dressed in commoner clothes, stood in front of Huang Zhong. Seeing Huang Zhong's slightly surprised expression, he said: "Don't be messy.
The injuries on your body are too serious. If you don’t take good care of yourself, your right arm will most likely be useless from now on.”
Huang Zhong lowered his head and looked at his right arm, sighed heavily, and said: "I'm old and useless. I was just hit by an arrow and it was injured like this..."
Guan Yu also heard some sadness from Huang Zhong's mouth, and comforted him: "General Huang is getting stronger and stronger. Such a minor injury is definitely not harmful. He only needs to rest for a while. This place is remote and few people know that Huang
The general is here to recuperate from his injuries. After the injury is healed, Guan will personally escort General Huang out of the valley."
"General Guan..." Huang Zhong slowly sat up and opened his mouth to shout.
Guan Yu hurriedly interrupted Huang Zhong and said: "Guan is no longer a general, he is just an idle man living outside the country, living a quiet life. General Huang just call me Yunchang
.”
Huang Zhong then changed his words and said: "Yun Chang, where exactly is this place? I remember that my army was surrounded by the Wu army. By the way, where is my army?"
Guan Yu said: "This is an unknown mountain on the outskirts of Shouchun City. It didn't have a name originally. After I came here, I called this mountain Wangyou Mountain, and the valley we are in now is called Wangyou Valley.
, this cave is called Wangyou Cave. As for the general’s subordinates..."
"How are they?"
"I don't know about this. It's just that Dong Zhao, who escaped with the general, went back and said he was going to rescue the besieged Chinese army. I don't know what happened after that."
Huang Zhong felt very grateful to his subordinates. After all, he brought out 20,000 soldiers, but was ambushed by the Wu army once. The remaining people at this time must have been resisting the Wu army tenaciously, and they must be in danger. But he is like this now.
, we are really powerless, how can we save them.
He looked at Guan Yu and said in a low voice: "Yun Chang, Huang Zhong and you used to have a hostile relationship, and they were forced to fight on the battlefield. If there is any offense, please forgive me. I have become like this, and I must be like this."
yes
You saved me. Since you can save me, you must be willing to save those hundreds of soldiers. The Wu army is too strong. My army is probably defeated now. I want to ask you for something.
I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
"General, just say it."
"Sun Ce has Zhou Yu to help him, and he is even more powerful. Unless he asks my emperor to lead the expedition, it will be difficult for him to defeat the enemy. I just ask Yun Chang to convey this news to my emperor's ears for me. After hearing this, my emperor will definitely come to conquer Sun Ce personally. Zhou Yu
, as long as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are eliminated, Wu will not be far from surrendering."
Guan Yu nodded and agreed to Huang Zhong's request. So, Huang Zhong told Guan Yu how to find carrier pigeons and use carrier pigeons to deliver messages. After Guan Yu heard this, he comforted Huang Zhong for his kindness in recuperating here, and went out to find carrier pigeons to deliver messages.

In the battle on the outskirts of Shouchun City, although the Wu army failed to completely annihilate the Chinese army, it did inflict a heavy blow on the Chinese army. At the same time, they themselves paid a heavy price. Moreover, Huang Gai was killed in battle, and Gao Lin, Guo Jia and others escaped.
The news is also extremely bad news for Wu Jun.
Shouchun City has become a ruin, with the smell of death everywhere, and the people of Shouchun also hate the Wu army, so Sun Ce and Zhou Yu decided to temporarily withdraw from Shouchun City and retreat to Hefei after discussion.
Wu Jun was preparing to retreat, and the soldiers pushed the captured Chen Deng in front of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. After Sun Ce saw Chen Deng, he asked: "You have never asked about political affairs. I sent people there many times back then."
I asked you to be an official, but you rejected them one by one. Why did you change your past attitude and switch to the Central Plains to become an official and become the governor?"
"When others put knives on the necks of tens of thousands of people in the city and came to threaten me, how could I take so many lives for my own sake?"
"That's good. But why do you still refuse to surrender in Kaicheng even though you know clearly that you can't withstand my army?"
Chen Deng replied slowly: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. This is a loyal minister. Since I have agreed to submit to the Huaxia Kingdom, how can I go back on my words? So, this is the only way."
Sun Ce saw that Chen Deng was answering questions fluently and showed no fear at all, so he asked Chen Deng, "Are you afraid of me?"
Chen Deng remained silent.
Because of Chen Deng's reputation, Sun Ce deliberately recruited Chen Deng to surrender, and asked again: "Are you willing to submit to my country of Wu?"
"If a loyal minister does not serve the two masters, it will be difficult for him to obey his orders."
When Sun Ce heard that Chen Deng refused to surrender to him, murderous intent appeared on his face. He opened his mouth and roared: "Come here, push Chen Deng out and behead him in public."
Zhou Yu hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, you must not kill Chen Deng. Chen Deng is a very famous person in Shouchun. If you kill Chen Deng, I am afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Sun Ce said: "What's the use of keeping a stubborn man? Push him out and behead him in public."
The soldiers hurriedly pushed Chen Deng out and beheaded him on the spot, and a head rolled down instantly...
Seeing that Chen Deng was killed, Zhou Yu felt very sorry and said to Sun Ce: "Since your Majesty has killed Chen Deng, you should immediately withdraw from Shouchun and then retreat to Hefei. At the same time, you should not make any announcement to the outside world, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Seeing that Zhou Yu said something so mysteriously, Sun Ce nodded and agreed directly.
Afterwards, Sun Ce withdrew the remaining 10,000 troops from Shouchun City, burned all the fallen soldiers, and took their ashes back.

Lujiang County, Xunyang City.
It has been a day since Gao Fei arrived here with a group of civil and military ministers, and the battle reports on the frontline battlefields are also being collected one by one. Zhang He's group army is progressing smoothly, and the counties and counties of Wu State are watching the wind as they pass by. Every time Zhang He passes a county, he will
Some troops will be retained and local officials will be replaced. Gan Ning's army group has also gone to sea, but the specific news has not been conveyed.
Gao Qi used his wisdom to win the important city of Changsha, and Gao Peng also captured the southern area of the Lujiang River. The only unhappy thing was that Zhuge Liang and others were blocked at the mouth of the lake. Although Zhang Liao used the navy as a cover to launch a fierce attack, the defense of the mouth of the lake was not good.
The fortifications were very well repaired and I tried to rush through several times, but all ended in failure, and in the end a confrontation had to be formed.
When the news about Huang Zhong's army reached Gao Fei's ears, Gao Fei was shocked. Zhang Liao was left behind, and Zhuge Liang was solely responsible for the attack on Hukou. He led an army of 30,000 to gather the most elite civil servants and generals.
, go east along the Yangtze River mightily, then enter Chaohu Lake from the Yangtze River, then enter Feishui River from Chaohu Lake, and then land in Hefei to capture the city of Hefei.
At this moment, the all-out war launched by the Huaxia Kingdom has completely broken out, and none of the four major group armies is no longer fighting. Among the group armies commanded by Zhang He, Gao Qi, Zhang Ren, Shamoko and others are overwhelmingly powerful. Wu Jun's strength on the western front is
Although the land is very vast, the population is relatively sparse. Therefore, wherever the Huaxia army went, they all surrendered upon hearing the wind. They did not encounter any decent resistance at all. A barbarian army commanded by Samoko had already begun to attack.
Entered the boundary of Jiaozhou.
Gan Ning's group army was divided into two groups. Gan Ning led the Chinese navy to detour from the sea, and then landed from Qiantang. He used the marines to harass the Wu army in the rear of Wu. Zang Ba stormed Qu'a in an effort to break through Wu.
Qu'a, the country's military stronghold, and thus invaded the imperial capital in one fell swoop.
In such a precarious situation, Sun Quan, the king of Song Dynasty, has been hesitant to follow Sun Ce's instructions and proclaim himself emperor. Instead, with the help of Gu Yong, he actively mobilized grain and grass to meet the needs of the war.
At this time, Wu Ting was already in unprecedented shock. It was really too much to deal with the fierce attack of the Chinese army. At the same time, it also lost contact with Jiangbei and could not figure out the movements of Sun Ce and others.
Lu Xun set up defenses layer by layer at the entrance of Hukou, with deep trenches and high forts, and held his position. No matter what method the Chinese army used, he did not allow the soldiers to go out to fight. Although he knew that the Chinese army had powerful weapons, this method of holding the position was very effective.
As for the regular attacks of the Chinese army, most of them returned without success, and sometimes many soldiers and horses were lost.
When the entire southeast fell into endless fighting, the Huainan area calmed down slightly. After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu retreated to Hefei, they also began to implement a key defense policy, building the small town of Hefei like a hard fortress, and attacking from all directions.
Stones were moved and piled in the city, and preparations were made to defend the city early in the morning.
A few days later, Gao Fei and his party landed at Feishui and set up camp not far from the shore. As evening approached, the soldiers were tired and hungry, so they began to sit around and eat and drink.
After the soldiers had eaten and drank enough, they fell asleep.
After nightfall, the camp was silent. Even the soldiers guarding the camp were dozing off, and the number of patrols patrolling was getting smaller and smaller.
But in a dense forest outside the Chinese army's camp, Sun Ce led Wu's elite cavalry and waited there quietly. As soon as the time came, he would attack immediately.
When it was time, Sun Ce waved his golden spear and made a powerful move forward. Three thousand elite cavalry behind him emerged from the woods one after another. Sun Ce took the lead and rushed to the front.
At this time, the camp was still silent, but Sun Ce and his men rushed into the camp after removing the antlers and horses. He opened the curtain with a golden gun, but saw the situation inside the camp.
Afterwards, he was shocked. Because there was no one in the camp, he realized that he had been trapped in a trap. He quickly turned his horse's head and shouted outside: "We've been trapped in a trap. Get out of here! Get out!"
