Ma Tan knew that he led the town to defend here, and the defense of Xiakou could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai, but Lu Xun still led his troops over, if he directly attacked Xiakou, it would not play any role in the Nanyang battle at all, so Lu Xun was likely to have other moves.

It's just that Ma Tan couldn't guess Lu Xun's thoughts for a while, so he could only order the soldiers to take strict precautions and patrol the river with multiple steps on the river to prevent Lu Xun's sneak attack.

It's night.

Lu Xun has also built a camp here.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

Lu Xun said to the generals: "Now that it has been two days since we discussed the plan with General Wen, it is estimated that General Wen has returned to Jiangxia and rushed to the edge of the Han River with his troops.

Now that the situation in Nanyang is not optimistic, and there is no delay in sending troops to relieve the siege, I intend to send someone to send the warship over tonight, so that General Wen can send troops as soon as possible. ”

All the generals nodded when they heard this.

Immediately, Lu Xun ordered: "Tonight, the governor of Pontus will lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Shu army's water village and attract the Shu army, General Ding Feng, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, take a boat, take advantage of the time when I drag the Han army, quietly cross into the Han water, hand over the warship to Wen Ping, march from the north bank and detour to the opposite side of my camp, and I will send someone to pick you up at that time." ”

"No!" Ding Feng gave his hand to receive the order.

That night, after the Jiangdong soldiers and horses had dinner, Lu Xun led 30,000 sailors to the upper reaches of the army, but Lu Xun was very smart, although he led the 30,000 troops to march, but he still let the soldiers carry fewer torches, and every few miles forward, he first sent clippers to patrol the river to solve the patrol team of the Han army, and made a gesture of quietly marching and planning to sneak attack.

And Ding Feng led 10,000 soldiers and horses to ride away, and did not carry torches, and followed Lu Xun's army far away.

Lu Xun's march was soon discovered by the Han army's patrol soldiers, and the soldiers hurriedly rushed to Xiakou to inform Ma Yan.

Ma Tan got the news and asked the soldiers: "Are the Jiangdong soldiers and horses directly pulled out and come over with great fanfare, or are they cautious and step by step?" ”

The soldier replied: "General, Lu Xun was very careful in his march, they didn't light many torches, and we don't know how many people he came, and he sent people to take small boats to solve our patrol on the river before he drove over slowly."

If it weren't for the general who sent more patrol soldiers, I am afraid that we would not be able to come back to report the news, and we would not know that Lu Xun was killed at the doorstep. ”

The first general asked: "General, Lu Xun came over and asked the brothers to prepare for the war directly, ask what is this!" ”

Ma Tan muttered: "Lu Xun marched in the middle of the night, if there is a lot of fanfare, there must be a plan, if you are cautious and take every step of the camp, it can be regarded as a real sneak attack." ”

Hearing this, the first general said: "Lu Xun was cautious when he marched, for fear of being detected by our army, it can be seen that he is planning to sneak attack, so I will go to order Shuizhai to prepare them." ”

Ma Tan watched the general leave, his brows furrowed, and he always felt that something was not quite right.

Ma Tan couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it, shook his head, and went to the city, waiting to arrive one after another, so that he could command in the center.

Soon Lu Xun led his troops to Xiakou and launched an attack on the water village built on the side of the Han River.

The Han River and the Yangtze River meet, forming a corner, Xiakou is located on this corner, the two water villages, are built by Xiakou, and you can send troops from Xiakou to directly enter the water village.

Lu Xun sent troops to attack the water village on the Han River, and after Ma Tan got the news, he led a part of the soldiers and horses in the city to the water village to command.

In the dark night, there were bursts of shouting and killing on the river, and the sound of arrows flying back and forth was endless.

At this time, Ding Feng took advantage of the Han army being attracted by Lu Xun, quietly led 10,000 soldiers and horses, rode on a boat, and quietly touched the north bank of the Han River.

Under the river, there are all hidden piles and sunken ships, which can prevent large ships from passing, but they can't stop small boats.

At this moment, Ma Tan was leading the army to fight against Lu Xun, and Ding Feng's army did not light torches, and no one found him.

Soon, the fleet passed through this water, and when I looked back, I could see that the direction of the Han army's water village was brightly lit, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

"Sail forward at speed!"

Ding Feng did not stay here for long, and ordered the soldiers to continue forward.

After traveling about 20 miles up the river, Ding Feng ordered people to light torches so that the soldiers and horses on the north bank of the Han River could see them.

Jiangxia is divided into three parts, Jiangxia County occupied by the Han Dynasty, bordering Jiangdong in the east and Cao Wei in the north, and the north of the Han River is Cao Wei's territory. However, the Han River is shrinking, and if it continues to penetrate into the Han River, it will be the hinterland of Jiangxia South County.

After sailing along the river for a while, Ding Feng heard a call from the north bank: "But the Jiangdong Navy? ”

When Ding Feng heard this, he hurriedly ordered: "It's General Wenpin, quickly dock!" ”

When the fleet landed, Ding Feng saw that a large number of torches were suddenly lit on the shore, and Wen Ping led his troops to rush over. Although Jiangbei is the territory of Cao Wei, the Han army controls the Han River, and the Wei State has no warships, so Wen Ping has to be careful here, for fear that the Han army will find out.

"The general has arrived early!" Ding Feng got off the boat and bowed to Wen Ping.

Wen Ping arched his hand and said, "I went back to Jiangxia that day, selected 10,000 elite soldiers, and arrived here this evening. ”

Ding Feng nodded, pointed to the boats on the river behind him and said, "I have come here to bring 2,500 boats, all of which have been handed over to the general!" ”

Wen Ping bowed his hand: "Thank you, general, this time I am accepting your Jiangdong's love." ”

Ding Feng helped Wen Ping up, and said with a solemn face: "General Wen, it's really not a secret, the scouts of the Shu army patrolling the river have increased greatly today, and you rush to Fancheng along the Han River in a boat, I am afraid that you will be discovered by the scouts patrolling the river in the morning."

Those scouts patrolling the river were naturally not worried, but Ma Tan learned that he would definitely send troops into the Han River to pursue you, and the speed of the big war ships was far faster than that of the boats, and if you didn't go far, they would catch up.

Therefore the governor gave five hundred more boats, and you took them with you, and when they reached the narrow river, they sank the extra boats, so as to prevent the horses from pursuing. I, Jiangdong, can only help you get here, and the rest of the enemies can only be solved by yourself. ”

Hearing this, Wen Ping bowed to Ding Feng again: "Thank you to Lu Dudu for me, and say that if I can come back alive, I will definitely invite him to drink!" ”

"General, take care!" Ding Feng picked up Wen Ping and patted his palm.

Wen Ping nodded, and at this moment, the Jiangdong soldiers had already disembarked from the warship, and Wen Ping commanded the Wei army to board the ship.

Ding Feng stood on the shore, watching Wen Ping lead his troops away, and seeing that Wen Ping was far away, he led his troops along the river. This time it is the territory of Wei, and if you continue to move forward, you will enter the Jiangdong territory and return to the camp.

Wen Ping led the boarding of the ship, and then led the troops along the Han River, ordering the soldiers to row desperately in order to reach Fancheng as soon as possible.
