What Sun Ce wanted most in his heart was that after mobilizing troops and horses to surround Shouchun, Peng Chengwen hired to help, and then Xiahou Yuan of Yuzhou attacked Pengcheng. In the end, after Guan Yu weighed the gains and losses, he retreated to Jiujiang and saved Pengcheng. If this is the case, then the Yangzhou soldiers don't have to fight with Guan Yu, and they can easily get Jiujiang County. But in the current situation, this is no longer possible.

When Guan Yu's troops arrived in Hefei, Sun Ce stopped besieging the city, retreated ten miles, and set up a large camp to confront Guan Yu. The shadow of the famous tree, Guan Yu has been in Jiujiang for many years, so Sun Ce knows that Guan Yu is not in vain. If he continues to encircle Hefei, the Hefei soldiers and Guan Yujun will attack him together, and he will definitely not be able to resist it. Then let's go back first.

Guan Yu relieved the siege of Hefei, but the Yangzhou army was still close at hand, so he naturally refused to let it go. So he led the army to attack Sun Ce. The two armies fought a scuffle, and then each withdrew its troops. Sun Ce had the opportunity to fight Guan Yu in person, so he naturally refused to let it go, and rushed up, but he had to retreat to avoid Guan Yu's sharpness. When it comes to fighting, no one in Sun Ce's army is Guan Yu's opponent at present, including Sun Ce. However, Guan Yu couldn't fight the Yangzhou army. Because in addition to Sun Ce, there are also fierce generals such as Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Han Dang in the Yangzhou army. Guan Yu is not afraid of fighting alone, but as soon as the other party rushes up, he is a little overwhelmed, after all, two fists are difficult to beat four hands.

Guan Yu's desire to quickly break through the Yangzhou army was unsurprisingly frustrated. He knew he couldn't stay here for long. The army is fighting outside, and Shouchun in the rear is surrounded, and this food supply is a big problem. In addition to himself, there are also sailors outside, people eat horses to chew, and Hefei does not have so much grain and grass. If he retreats like this, Guan Yu is also very unwilling. Retreating is tantamount to giving Hefei to Sun Ce for nothing.

Up to now, Guan Yu has to admit that the strategy of the Yangzhou army is very annoying. It's not that he has no way to crack it, such as transferring troops from Xuzhou. But if this is done, I am afraid that Lu Su will lead the army to cross the river in Yangzhou. Guan Yu felt at this time that the troops in his hands were really stretched.

Zhou Yu was in Shouchun, besieging but not attacking. When Wu Kuang and Liu Ye saw this, they immediately felt that there must be a conspiracy in Yangzhou, but they couldn't guess what Yangzhou wanted to do for a while. So he had to send a letter to Guan Yu at the same time, guarding the four gates, and martial law in the city. Chen Jue was in Xiapi, and after receiving Guan Yu's order to raise grain and grass, he planned to transport it to Hefei for the use of the army.

After Zhou Yu surrounded Shouchun, he sent four sentinels and learned that there was an army coming from Xiapi, so he sent Lü Meng to investigate it. Lu Meng thought that Chen Jue was coming to Shouchun, but from a distance, this direction was completely wrong, and Chen Jue was transporting grain to Hefei. When Lu Meng saw this, his heart moved, so he asked a guide to guide him and walked the path, and he fell in front of Chen Jue.

Chen Jue took grain all the way, worried, he didn't have to come in person, but he is a big local in Xuzhou, and the news has been a little wrong recently, with his keen sense of smell, he thinks that something big may happen in Xuzhou. So he wanted to go and persuade Guan Yu to temporarily give up the-for-tat confrontation with the Yangzhou army, retreat to Shouchun at the same time, and write to the lord and let Linyang make a decision.

From Dongcheng to Hefei, a horse and a flat river, both sides of the official road are plains, looking at it, it is clear at a glance, so after spreading the scouts, Chen Qi also put his mind at ease, feeling that it is impossible for the Yangzhou army to come to find him trouble.

After Lu Meng walked to the front of Chen Qi, he also felt that this official road was too flat, and there was really no place to hide the soldiers, so he reluctantly hid, but he was afraid that he would not be able to hide the scouts of the Han army. Thinking about it, he actually came up with a way. He divided the troops into ten groups, and then each went to the banner armor, pretended to be a caravan, hid all the blades in the cart, and then went to meet Chen Qi like this. It was agreed that when we met Chen Qijun, we would do it together.

This method did hide from the scouts of the Han army. After all, it is not a field army, but a county soldier in Xiapi. Therefore, he is not so serious and attentive in the investigation. After seeing these caravans, he didn't care. Lu Meng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he had successfully concealed the scouts who were galloping back and forth on the official road.

At this time, the caravan at the front was already less than five hundred meters away from Chen Qi. Chen Qi was riding on a horse, thinking about things in his heart, when he suddenly looked up and saw the caravan in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is coming?" ”

Left and right said: "Yufu Jun, the scout has returned, but it is a businessman." ”

Chen Qi sighed, after a while, looking around, I saw that after the caravan, there were several more groups of people and horses coming, this distance, this pace, Chen Qi's heart jumped and immediately reacted, what kind of caravan is this, this is clearly a well-trained army. Chen Qi immediately turned over and dismounted, shouting: "Enemy attack! At this time, Lü Meng was less than three hundred meters away from the Han army.

Chen Jue suddenly shouted, startling the Han army, but the instinctive reaction still made them immediately form their own formations, and then raised their blades to guard the surroundings.

At this time, Lu Meng was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he could catch the Han army by surprise, who would have thought that he would succeed when he saw it, but he was ruined by Chen Jue's shout. Lu Meng secretly cursed. Seeing that the Han army was moving, he couldn't care much, so he hurriedly picked up the blade in the car, and then rushed forward with his knife. When the soldiers behind him saw it, they also took their swords and attacked the Han army.

Lü Meng made great sacrifices in order to hide from the eyes and ears of the Han army. Except for a few soldiers who were disguised as caravan guards with leather armor, everyone else went to armor. And long weapons such as spears are discarded. In this way, the two armies suffered a big loss in the confrontation.

After the Han army formed a formation, he saw that the caravan in front of him suddenly took out his blade from the army and came agitated, and immediately knew that this was the enemy army. So a round of arrows was fired. The group of Yangzhou troops led by Lu Meng at the front was already rushing in front of the Han army, and they couldn't help but fall down screaming when they were attacked by the Han army. Lu Meng shouted: "Raise your shield, assault!" ”

Lu Meng had a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and was brave and unparalleled, first rushed to the front of the Han army, used the shield to open several spears that were stabbed together, and then the big knife was erected, and the screams sounded. The Yangzhou army that followed behind also rushed over with their lives, using human lives and flesh and blood to squeeze out the formation of the Han army. However, Lu Meng's group also paid a great price, and before the arrival of the following groups, there were only more than ten people left here in Lu Meng. Everyone was also injured.

When Lü Meng desperately rushed out of the Han formation, the encounter was doomed. The fierceness of Lü Meng and others brought a great impact to the Han army, and Chen Jue was just a civilian official, who was too far behind Lü Meng in commanding and grasping the fighters. When Lü Meng led his troops to break through the array, Chen Jue did not order the troops behind him to fill the gap and fight Lü Meng, but gave an order to retreat and fight again. On the battlefield, in fact, many times, you can't retreat a single step, especially when the two armies are in a confrontation.

As a result of this retreat, the Han army was defeated by Lü Meng and the Yangzhou army that came after him and fled. Chen Jue's personal guards couldn't care about the food and grass, and desperately protected Chen Jue and led the remnants to flee away. Lu Meng has bravely survived until now with a stream of blood, and when he saw the Han army retreating, he couldn't help laughing. He couldn't afford to chase anymore. So after burning all the grain wagons with a fire, he led the army back to Shouchun and reported to Zhou Yu for his victory.
