In Qian County, Cao Xiu knelt quietly in front of his mother's new grave at night.

The horses that galloped all the way were neighing not far away, and a great horse given by Cao Pi had already lay on the ground and could not get up again.

The more than 20 horsemen who came with Cao Xiu were all paralyzed on the ground, eating cold food.

The war against Huainan has begun, Cao Zhi led the Xuzhou army to feint to attack Guangling, the general Cao Ren mainly attacked Shouchun, and Cao Xiu, who was responsible for interspersing, had handed over the army to the protector Jia Kui due to the death of his mother, and he abandoned the army and returned to Qian County for funeral.

Zhou Wei and other riders who came with him also wore filial piety and guarded filial piety together.

How dare Cao Pi let Cao Xiu keep filial piety, only after dawn, Su Ze and Fu Xun arrived here from Luoyang.

Cao Xiu took refuge with his parents when he was a teenager, and soon lost his father, and a doorman followed him, borrowed a cemetery to bury his father, and then took his mother to Wu County for refuge.

Until he heard that Cao Cao had gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains, he and his mother crossed the chaotic Yuan Shu jurisdiction and successfully returned to the Central Plains, and was praised by Cao Cao as a thousand-mile horse.

Cao Xiu once beat his chest with his fists in pain, and he couldn't be dissuaded by being close to the left and right.

In this case, Su Ze and Fu Xun still conveyed Cao Pi's edict of seizing love, Su Ze and Fu Xun were edicted to strip off Cao Xiu's filial piety clothes, and the other edict forced Cao Xiu to eat meat to replenish his physical strength.

Cao Xiu was already numb, and since he returned from Wu County that year, he got along with Cao Pi day and night according to Cao Cao's orders, and the relationship was naturally excellent.

But now Cao Pi's anxiety, urging and oppression make him confused and feel that the whole world is strange.

Without a mother, everything is strange.

Cao Zhao and Cao Su were sad, but they were also worried about Cao Xiu's health.

After only staying in Qian County for less than a day, in the evening, when the horses had been prepared, Cao Xiu was helped to the horse, and said to the two sons who came up: "For the father's unfulfilled filial piety, your brother must fulfill it." ”

"Yes."

The two sons were concerned and hopeful, Cao Xiu endured his sorrow, his face was calm and slightly bowed, and he had a tiger to lead the horse.

Like a prisoner, he was sent back to the front-line army by Hu Ben and Yu Lin, and Fu Xun accompanied him to supervise Cao Xiu's three meals a day.

When Cao Xiu returned to the army, Xiahou Shang, the general of Zhennan, also led an army of nearly 30,000 to Huaishui to participate in the battle, the Wei army of Huainan gathered four armies, Cao Zhi more than 10,000 people were feints, Cao Ren had more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 people gathered in Xia Cai to attack Shouchun from the north; More than 20,000 people from Cao Xiu's department walked Feishui straight to Chaohu Lake, intending to block the Feishui estuary.

The total strength of the Wei army in the war was nearly 100,000, but it was divided into four divisions and had not yet been assembled.

And because Cao Xiu suddenly returned to Qian County to mourn, the Zhennan Army of the Department did not intersperse to cut off Feishui under the command of the escort Jia Kui, so the main force of the Wu army smoothly went north through Weixushui, Dongguan, and Chaohu, and took Feishui to reinforce Shouchun and seize the position on the east bank.

Pioneer veteran Song Qian more than 10,000 people seized the upper reaches of Feishui, the north of Shouchun City, Song Qian is Sun Ce's rider from the background, brave name, seniority far above Pan Zhang.

Sun Quan worshiped Pan Jun as the front governor, Pan Jun led 30,000 new troops trained by the Jingzhou military law as the front, followed by more than 10,000 people in the left governor Teng Tan, more than 10,000 people in the right department, and the entire forward force of 60,000 people, all of which were the new army of Dawu that Pan Jun mainly focused on training.

Huainan Governor Lu Fan had more than 10,000 troops to defend Shouchun, and Sun Quantong's army of 60,000 followed the warships to Chaohu Lake to watch the battle.

Zhuge Jin served as the long history, and the Chinese army had the right Sima Zhu Huan, the Yushi Zhu Zhi brothers, Zhu Zhi's second son Zhu Cai as the governor of the trouble, Han Dang's son Han Cong as the governor of Wuyi, Sun Huan as the left Sima, and the general Sun Shao; In the rear, there were more than 20,000 people in the three armies, including Jiang Qin, Sun Yin and Sun Mi, the son of Sun Yu.

The total strength of the entire Jiangbei Wu army is 150,000; Buqi, the crown prince Sun Deng, Wu Jing's son Wu Fen, and Wu Qi guarded Danyang, Huiji, and Wu County on the south bank, and there were about 20,000 garrison soldiers.

The 20,000, plus the 150,000 in Jiangbei, is currently Sun Quan's direct subordinate, and it is the army he can command.

In addition, the more than 10,000 people of Lü Dai, the governor of Guangzhou, were too far away, and there was no difference between having and not, and if the Han army supported Jiaozhou from Nanzhong, it was inevitable that Shixie would expel Lü Dai.

It's just that at present, Zhuge Liang doesn't want to stimulate Nanzhong, and he has no willingness to cross Nanzhong to send military officials to Shixie; Shi Xie didn't want to do anything extra, and he was happy to be separated from the Han Emperor in Guangzhou.

In addition, the 40,000 people of He Qi, the governor of Wuchang, and the 20,000 people of Pan Zhang, the governor of Jiangxia, these 60,000 or 70,000 people are no longer the troops that Sun Quan can easily command.

He Qi and Pan Zhang did not dare to easily obey Sun Quan's command, maintaining their current status as governors, and treating each other well.

Since the attack on Jingzhou, the Wu army has suffered heavy defeats one after another, and in the hands of Sun Quan, a total of 100,000 people have been killed and captured.

He Qi was no longer willing to listen to Sun Quan's command, and Pan Zhang did not dare to listen anymore.

If you listen to it again, He Qi will not necessarily die, Pan Zhang will definitely die.

This time, Sun Quan poured out of the nest, it was good to win anything, and it was really a dead end if he lost, just let people support the crown prince Sun Deng's succession, no matter how many things he did, he couldn't control or help.

Even the command of the front line was handed over to Pan Jun, and the command of Daxu was also handed over to Pan Jun.

The only thing that interfered with Pan Jun was to send Zhuge Ke and Shi Ji to Pan Jun's side as military judges...... He has no military power, nor does he have the power to supervise the army or protect the army, and he is completely a simple military judge who impeaches military discipline and enforces military law for Pan Jun.

On the twelfth day of the eighth month of the summer calendar, 30,000 people under the command of Pan Jun arrived at the predetermined battlefield, and Quan Zong and Teng Tan were the successors, and camped along the east bank of Feishui and the south of Shouchun.

And Shouchun was on the west bank of Feishui, that is, the Wu army that came from the reinforcements was not in the same war zone as Shouchun, and belonged to watching the fire from the other side, except for Song Qian's troops who seized Beishan, the rest of the armies did not directly confront the Wei army.

The benefits of Sun Quan's annexation of the Wei State Dengsai Water Division were revealed, and at this moment, the Wei army had no way to transport grain and troops with the Wu Army's water division.

And the overall uniform color and banner of the Wu army advocate emerald green, as if it is the country of Mude, which is from the Great Wei of Ketude.

Cao Xiu also returned to Yangquan at this time, which is in the north of Shaobi and Hefei, and a little south of the west of Xia Cai and Shouchun.

From Yangquan to Xia Cai, it is only eighty miles away; Sixty miles from Yangquan to Shouchun, thirty miles south of Xiacai is Shouchun...... All have water connections.

Forced to endure his grief, Cao Xiu threw himself into the war, and led more than 100 elite cavalry to appear in the south of Shouchun City, on the west bank of Feishui, where he observed the Wu army camp on the east bank.

One relied on the benefits of boats and ships to transport soldiers and materials unscrupulously; One has the advantage of cavalry, sealing the transmission of information outside the absolute square waterway.

The Wu army's vision was limited and it was impossible to observe the movements of the main force of the Wei army.

Because of the inferiority of the cavalry, he could only watch Cao Xiu calmly observe his own reality in the place on the west bank of the south of the city.

"About two days later, General Zhennan will join forces with me, and General Zhen will also go south from Xia Cai."

Cao Xiu's horse whip pointed to the North Mountain, the North Mountain is in the north of Shouchun, and there is Feishui in the middle, so the North Mountain is on the east bank of Feishui: "The thief who broke the North Mountain, our army can go out in three ways, and the general will invade Pan Jun's new camp from the north of the east bank of Feishui; Our army will go down the old road again, cut off the fat water and cut off the passage of Wu thief's boat! ”

"General Zhennan went straight to Shouchun by Huaishui, Lu Fan was trapped in the lonely city and didn't move, if he moved, it would be broken by General Zhennan. If Lu Fan does not move, General Zhennan will lead his generals to succeed the general, and accompany the general to break the Wu thieves on the east bank. ”

The horsewhip pointed to the place where the smoke was in the north, and Cao Xiu looked at Zhou Wei who was following beside him: "Sun Quan is perverse, and the Jiangdong generals have their own ways to retreat." The general intends to persuade Song Qian to surrender, this Jiangdong veteran is also, Ziyu is willing to go to Beishan to talk to Song Qian? ”

Zhou Wei came out of the ranks, full of smiles, and took a deep breath: "The lower officials are willing to go, but Song Wenxin is an old man in Jiangdong, I don't know how to promise?" ”

"If he raises the people of the northern mountains to surrender, he will be a marquis and a thousand households, and he will be worshiped as a general."
