Chen Gong and Le Jin were leading their troops to storm An Lu, seeing that there were more and more of their own troops on the top of the city and the resistance of the Jingzhou army was getting weaker and weaker, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Suddenly, I saw a scout come to report: "General, Huang Zu is here!" ”

Seeing the top of the city, the Jingzhou army suddenly cheered in unison, and couldn't help but be angry: "Huang Zujun is here, who is the person who fought with Wen Lie?" There were two reinforcements coming, and Chen Gong couldn't help but be shocked. If the secret path is that Huang Zu set up a trap to earn me, wouldn't it be bad. Seeing countless big ships on the water from afar, speeding up, Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh and said to Le Jin: "Wen Qian, retreat." ”

Seeing this, Le Jin could only secretly say that it was a pity, if Huang Zu came slowly for an hour, this An Lucheng would already be surnamed Cao. Here, Chen Gong and Le Jin led the troops to retreat, and Cao Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Huang Zu was also coming. He's not a bad guy. Seeing that there was Liu Pan here and Huang Zu in the rear, he was afraid of being attacked by him, so he led the army to retreat and went to find Chen Palace.

When Huang Zu saw Cao's army retreating, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he led the army to chase after him. Halfway through, suddenly the drums and trumpets sounded, the sound of killing was loud, and then I saw again, a Cao character flag fluttered in the wind, and the current one will be across the road. It was the general Cao Ren.

After Cao Ren and Xu Yu were ordered to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to press Chen Gong and others, they waited for a long time and did not see half of the reinforcements from Jingzhou. So he and Xu Yu went to Xiangyang and went up the official road to Jiangxia.

In the middle of the line, suddenly the scout came to report, saying that the two families in front of him were fighting. Cao Ren brought troops to help. When he met Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu was overjoyed when he saw Cao Ren, and shouted: "Uncle can see Chen Gongtaihu? ”

Cao Ren said: "I haven't seen it, you will look for it, and I will cut it off." ”

Cao Xiu said, "I'm with my uncle." ”

Cao Ren didn't care about him, and waited here for a while, Chen Gong and Le Jin also led the army, and Huang Zu came to chase after him. Cao Ren asked the generals to hide first, so as not to scare Huang Zu away.

Huang Zu saw Cao Ren, but he was suspicious in his heart, this Cao will retreat first and then stop, he will be deceitful, and he will think of it here. and led the army to retreat. When Cao Ren saw Huang Zu retreating, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "The old thief is as treacherous as oil!" So with a wave of his hand, the ambush soldiers came out to chase Huang Zu.

As soon as Huang Zu saw it, Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Chen Gong, Le Jin, Cao Xiu and others would come out together, and there were countless soldiers and horses in the mountains and forests beside the road. couldn't help but bluff the soul into the sky, where did he dare to stay for half a minute, so he led the army to shoot the horse and leave.

Where Cao Jun is willing to let go, he will chase after him. Halfway through the chase, Liu Qi and Iraq led troops to help. The two armies fought a chaotic battle and retreated.

Huang Zu suffered a big loss, and the people he led suffered a lot of losses. But fortunately, it was supplemented by 10,000 people here from Liu Qi, so I let out my evil anger a little.

When he arrived in Anlu, Huang Zu allocated a part of the naval army to Liu Qi, and gave another 5,000 soldiers, so that he and the Yi people could guard Anlu, but he also led his men and horses back to Xiakou.

With Liu Qi's help and the support of the navy, An Lucheng was stabilized in an instant. Cao Ren and others saw that Anlu was difficult to attack, so they sent cavalry to attack and plunder. And he took the people captive and forced them to take the city. Liu Qi was merciful and wanted to open the city to save the people, so Yi Ji persuaded: "No, this Cao army's plan is also." ”

Liu Qi was furious and said: "My father is the pastor of Jingzhou, how can he not save his people?" ”

Yi Yuan sighed and said, "The eldest prince, if you open the city to save the people, the city will fall; If the city falls, the river is in danger; Jiangxia is in danger, and Jingzhou is dead. ”

After Liu Qi heard this, he was stunned at first, and slapped the battlements fiercely, but he couldn't bear to see the tragic situation under the city, so he flicked his sleeves and went home.

This trick didn't work, and Cao Jun had another plan and began to plan to dig tunnels. As a result, after a few digs, the groundwater gushed out, and the big pit dug became a small pond in an instant. I could only see the Jingzhou army on the city tower laughing and fell. Jiangxia has a dense water network, and if you come with a few shovels, water will seep underground. Isn't it funny that this Cao Jun is so stupid as to go to the tunnel?

Cao Ren was furious, and ordered his soldiers to build a mountain of earth, wanting to attack from the heights. But he was disturbed by the sailors on the water day and night, and he couldn't do it. wanted to lure Liu Qi out of the city, but Liu Qi didn't care what you did, he was sitting in the city anyway, and he only protected Lu without losing it. The Anlu garrison also because he was the eldest son of the state pastor, he defended the city with special care.

Cao Ren's progress here was slow, and Cao Cao knew about it, and Cao Cao sighed: "If I have a general who is proficient in water warfare, why worry about Jiang Xiahu?" ”

Look at Sun Jian's fight against Jiangxia, he came directly by boat, saving time and effort, if it weren't for the light army's rash advance, this Jiangxia would have become Yangzhou's bag. To say that Cao Cao does not envy the sailors of Yangzhou, then how is it possible. Thinking of Liu Bei's conquest in the north, but still magnifying Guan Yu to train the sailors in the south, his heart was a pang. Liu Bei already had the intention of Nantu, so he started training the water master early, and if he could get Jingzhou, he would have to speed up. Otherwise, how to compete with Liu Xuande.

The progress of the Jiangxia war was slow, but it was known to Cao Cao's generals. This person is Li Tong.

Li Tong, the word Wenda, Jiangxia Pingchun people, less famous for chivalry, between Jiang and Ru. Later, due to the war, he and Chen Gong, a native of the same county, raised troops in Langling to protect themselves. Cao Cao won Yuzhou, and he led his army to surrender. Cao Cao ordered him to be the general of Zhenwei Zhonglang and guard the western boundary of Runan. Cao Cao first conquered Jingzhou, fought against Zhang Xiu, and Li Tong also contributed. After Cao Cao retreated, Li Tong was still in Tunlangling.

Li Tong was in Runan, pacified the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and suppressed bandits and bandits, which was quite meritorious. Liu Biao once heard his name and sent an envoy to recruit him, but was rejected by Li Tong, who believed that with Liu Biao's ability, he was definitely not Cao Cao's opponent. Sure enough, in Jingzhou at this time, Zhang Xiu left and Cao Jun came south, which was already in danger. He was in Langling, and when he heard that his army had been fighting Huang Zu for a long time, he couldn't help but think: Huang Zu is old and decrepit, and he can only deal with our army by fighting in a favorable location. In this way, Fang Xian's husband's name is also.

Cao Cao was annoyed by himself, and suddenly heard that there was a letter from Li Tong in Runan, Cao Cao was stunned at first, and then patted his forehead and said: "How did you forget Li Wendayan!" ”

Reading Li Tong's letter, sure enough, Li Tong recommended himself in the letter as going to Jiangxia. He said to himself: "The minister travels to the river and you, and knows the geography of Jiangxia very well. Since the beginning of the rebellion and self-protection, the people of the tribe have been well aware of the water war...... I am willing to be the striker of the Lord and break Huang Zuye! ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed by the letter, so he moved Li Tong to be a general, making him a striker, and served under Cao Ren in Jiangxia.

Li Tong's hometown is Jiangxia, when the world was in turmoil, he brought his friends to lead his family soldiers to support himself and protect himself, and he has been fighting with bandits over the years, so the combat effectiveness of the army is not weak. At this time, Huang Zu didn't know that his Jiangxia had rebelled against the bones and was on his way to lead troops to attack him.

When Li Tong went to Jiangxia. Sun Ce was also thinking about fighting Jiangxia again to avenge his father. After Sun Jian fainted that day, he woke up after a few days. After many days of conditioning, it was only after seeing improvement. But looking at this situation, if you want to get better completely, I'm afraid it's no show. Seeing that his father, who was originally a dragon spirit and a tiger, had lost weight like this in a short period of time, and he would linger on the sickbed in the future, Sun Ce couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
