Yu Ban and Huang Gai fought under Huarong City, and there was no idle place else. Under Jingling City, a mountain of earth is piled higher and higher, Zang Ba and Li Tong decided to build the soil into a mountain, condescendingly, and attacked Jingling City.

Xu Sheng saw him in the city and led his troops out several times, intending to destroy Cao Jun's plan, and Cao Jun also fought back. The two armies fought and stopped, and reached a stalemate.

It was in such a situation that Cao Hong and Li Dian led their troops to Hanshou. After Yu Ban was deceived by Huang Gai in Yunmeng, he also camped north. The Wu army was not suppressed by the Cao army, and the materials of the three counties of Jingnan continued to enter the river along the waterway, and then went down the river to Xiakou.

When Li Dian was a teenager, he didn't like to fight, so he worshiped under the Confucian sect and specialized in "Spring and Autumn". Later, the world was in turmoil, and his uncle Li Gan took the whole family to join Cao Cao, and after Li Gan and his son Li Quan died in battle, the Li clan was led by Li Dian. At the beginning, Li Dian was trained by Cao Cao as a civil official. Now, he has become a general step by step.

Li Dian and Cao Hong arrived in Hanshou. The two discussed the military aircraft, and Cao Hong said: "Our army is here today, and the enemy is unprepared." It is better to surround Yiyang and pull it out. The enemy will be terrified. Then raise troops to attack Changsha, Jingnan can also be determined. ”

They marched all the way, and with the intelligence speed at this time, even if Yangzhou's spies in Yuzhou knew that the Yuzhou army was retreating south, it was estimated that it would not be as fast as them. That's why Cao Hong has this proposal.

Hit Yiyang first, and then Changsha, and the strategy is also normal. Yiyang, as a city on the banks of the water, will naturally be shocked if it is lost. And the elite of the Jingnan Wu army, and followed Huang Gai to the north, with the spirit of Cao's army, it was not difficult to capture Changsha.

However, Li Dian looked at the map and shook his head. Cao Hong said: "What is Mancheng's opinion? ”

Li Dian pointed to a place and said, "Why don't you sneak here to attack it, burn the enemy's grain, and then go upstream, or attack Changsha, or attack Yiyang." ”

Cao Hong took a look at it, but it was Luo County. Zishui and Xiangshui converge near Luoxian and then flow into Yunmengze. The materials of the three counties of Jingnan were also collected in Luo County, and then escorted to Xiakou.

Li Dian's meaning is very clear, if he wants to fight, he will beat Wu Jun painfully. In the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha, money and grain were continuously transported to Xiakou for blood transfusions for Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others. Since he came, he simply knocked Luo County down. took away Wu Jun's money and food. If Yiyang is attacked first, Changsha will definitely take precautions, and then the materials from Luo County will definitely be transported to Changsha first. In this way, wouldn't it be cheaper for Wu Jun in vain.

The city is there, and it won't run, but the supplies can. At the beginning, Luo County and Baqiu had Huang Gai soldiers and horses guarding the town, so Yu Ban had no choice. Now there is no defense here, but it is a good time for them to sneak attack.

Cao Hong turned his head and understood. Cao Hong likes this kind of good thing like grabbing money and food. He is rich, and when he hears that there is a chance to make a fortune, his eyes light up. immediately clapped his head and said: "Then what are you waiting for, even if you raise troops to Luo County!" ”

After the three armies finished resting in Hanshou, they assembled and quietly went to Luo County. As soon as Huang Gai left, Changsha was ruled by Pu Yangyi, the former Wuling Taishou. Pu Yangyi is a good political officer, but he doesn't understand military affairs. Otherwise, he would not have been easily defeated by Yu Ban at the beginning.

Although Huang Gai left men and horses in Changsha to assist Puyangyi, the captain was only ordered to be responsible for the safety of Changsha City, and he was not very clear about many situations outside the city.

Li Dian and Cao Hong led the men and horses all the way, and the people and caravans they saw along the way were directly detained. The Wu army stationed in the post pavilion of a small unit, in front of the Cao army with more than 10,000 horses, how could they be the enemy, those who resisted were directly cut down, and those who knew the current affairs obediently laid down their arms and surrendered.

In this way, when Cao Jun traveled all the way to Luo County, Changsha City still did not know.

The wharf outside Luoxian County, where people come and go, is very prosperous. Countless ships have gathered here, and supplies have been piled up on the docks. Because of the transfer of materials, a small market was born.

Soldiers and officials always have to eat and drink, so small merchants and hawkers automatically gather and sell goods here, and even Qinglou women also come here. With his gentle heart, he drove away the pain for the soldiers who fought in troubled times.

After the scout came back, Li Dian, who was hidden on the other side of Xiangshui, said to Cao Hong: "Zilian, the defense on the other side is very strict, and it is not easy to fight. ”

Cao Hong glared at me, with an expression on his face: "Man Cheng, how many soldiers and horses can there be in Xiaoxiao Luo County, could it be that there are still tens of thousands of people?" ”

Li Dian smiled bitterly: "Although there are not many enemy troops, I am afraid that if our army moves, after the enemy knows about it, they will set fire to the materials. ”

Of the 20,000 horses, only 5,000 people were left to guard Hanshou, and 15,000 people were brought to Luo County. Certainly not for the sake of war. A small Luo County, where is there a need for so many people. brought so many people, it was to rush to transport the money, food and materials of Luo County. Otherwise, just follow what Li Dian said before, just burn it.

Cao Hong reacted at this time, and he proposed to rob the materials. At the beginning, Li Dian said that he would send people to burn the grain and then attack Luo County. When Cao Hong heard that there was a large amount of baggage in Luo County, he refused to burn it. His reason was that after years of fighting, farmers from all over the country fled. Grain production has been decreasing year after year, so why burn it when there is ready-made food? It cannot be wasted, this is to reduce the pressure on the logistics of our own army.

Well, although he knew that Cao Hong was talking serious nonsense, Li Dian would not believe that Cao Hong would return all the money and grain to the public, but when Cao Hong said this, Li Dian was still moved. That's right, what a pity to burn it. Then find a way to grab it.

Cao Hong heard Li Dian say that the enemy might set fire to the grain, and he was very anxious. This will make him already regard the materials in Luo County as his own. If the enemy wants to destroy it, what can it do?

So he asked Li Dian: "Why don't you let the elite sneak in and raid it?" ”

Li Dian nodded, he also meant the same. He wasn't going to sneak in at night, though. The black lights are blind at night, and when the fight starts, it must be lit everywhere, and when the fire is extinguished after the fight, it is estimated that it will be a chicken feather.

What to do, Li Dian already has a plan in his heart. So he said to the left and right lieutenants: "Bring me the military officer Wu who was searching along the way." ”

After a while, several Wu military captains were tied up by Wuhuada. Li Dian squinted his eyes and said, "Do you want to die or live?" ”

When Captain Wu heard this, he all fell to his knees: "General, the villain wants to live!" ”

Since you still want to live, it's easy to do.

Along the way, when Cao's army marched in a hurry, the chaotic people didn't know how many were caught. So he summoned these captains who wanted to live, as well as the stewards of several caravans.

Then he ordered the army to rush to make the banner of the Wu army, and after a lot of busyness, it was almost ready.
