Su Zhe's iron cavalry division ran all the way south and arrived at Hefei City in a few days.

At this time, the Jiangdong defenders in Hefei City, but more than 2,000 people, naturally did not dare to go out of the city to confront Su Zhe's iron cavalry.

Su Zhe blocked the coast of Hefei and waited for Zhou Yu to come.

The horse was faster than the boat, and after a whole day, Zhou Yu's sailors arrived late and arrived in the waters of Hefei.

It's a pity that Su Zhe has captured the river bank at this moment, and if he wants to enter Hefei City, he must first land on the shore to repel Su Zhe's three thousand iron horsemen.

Of course, Zhou Yu didn't have the guts.

Even if there were ten Su Zhe in the water battle, he didn't care about it, but with thousands of remnants defeated, Zhou Yu didn't have that confidence if he wanted to defeat Su Zhe's three thousand iron cavalry in a land battle.

Therefore, Zhou Yu could only drift on the Huai River, and stayed up for two days, until Su Zhe's follow-up army arrived in Hefei City, and then had to give up Hefei City painfully, and the warship continued to go south, going to Chaohu Lake, and joined Sun Ce.

As soon as Zhou Yu's army left, how could the defenders in Hefei City have the courage to defend it any longer, so they naturally surrendered in Kaicheng.

Su Zhe effortlessly planted his banner at the head of Hefei City.

……

South of Hefei City, on the shore of Chaohu Lake.

Sun Ce immediately went ashore and watched his warships sail out of the water camp and into Feishui, his heroic face was full of spirit.

The news came back from the front that Zhou Yu had conquered Hefei, and the army drove north and went straight to Shouchun, which was enough to make Sun Ce extremely excited.

Cheng Pu on the side stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As long as the lord can snatch Shouchun from Su Zhe, Huainan is the lord's, and the lord can replace Yuan Shu, all according to Yangzhou, the lord's ambition, why worry about not being able to achieve it." ”

Sun Ce smiled proudly, and raised his horse's whip: "I hope Yuan Shu can help me consume Su Zhe as much as possible, and order all the troops to land as soon as possible and go to join Gong Jin as soon as possible." ”

With that, Sun Ce set off on the trestle and prepared to board the flagship and set off.

At this moment, a sentry ship galloped into the water camp, and the scout went straight to Sun Ce, and shouted: "My lord, the governor of Zhou has reported urgently, Su Zhe has broken through Shouchun a few days ago, and went south with light horses, and attacked our army by surprise. ”

This piece of information, like thunder and thunder, instantly shocked Sun Ce's body violently, and his face changed in shock.

His high spirits and his wishful thinking were blown away by this urgent report in an instant.

"Shouchun is the first fortified city in Yangzhou, so how could Su Zhe break through it so quickly and surprise Zhou Gongjin's department?" Cheng Pu was also shocked, with doubts on his face.

Sun Ce's face was gloomy, and he snatched the urgent report from the scout's hand, and after reading Zhou Yu's handwriting, he was sure that what he said was true.

Su Zhe broke Shouchun, killed Yuan Shu, defeated Zhou Yu, and the iron-clad facts couldn't help but believe it.

Sun Ce's brows deepened more and more, he held the emergency report tightly, and said in a deep voice: "This Su Zhe is worthy of being the head of the Nine Wonders, and when he is a Wolong, it seems that Gong Jin and I have seriously underestimated him." ”

Cheng Pu also sighed: "I don't want this Su Zhe to rise so quickly, and now even Yuan Shu has been destroyed, now Shouchun City has been lost, lord, what should we do?" ”

Sun Ce pondered for a moment and snorted coldly: "According to the original plan, the army will continue to rush to Hefei City, meet with Gongjin, and hold Hefei first. ”

At that moment, Sun Ce hurriedly boarded the ship, led his 20,000 sailors, and continued north along Feishui, heading to Hefei to meet Zhou Yu.

Within a day, Sun Ce was twenty miles south of Hefei and met the defeated Zhou Yu's navy.

Only then did Sun Ce learn that Su Zhe not only got Shouchun, but also Hefei City.

This news was enough to shock Sun Ce again.

So he had to give up going north, and after the two armies met on Feishui, Sun Ce couldn't wait to summon Zhou Yu to come.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yu came on a boat and boarded Sun Ce's flagship.

As soon as the two met, Sun Ce just wanted to ask him what was going on, but he saw the scar on Zhou Yu's face, and couldn't help but wonder: "Gong Jin, what's the matter with the injury on your face?" ”

Zhou Yu stroked the long scar on his face with his hand, and there was a heart-piercing pain in his heart, and he said hatefully: "This arrow of mine was shot by Huang Zhong, a general under Su Zhe!" ”

"Huang Zhong, is the original Liu Jingsheng's command, the Huang Zhong who is good at shooting?" Sun Ce asked in surprise.

Zhou Yu snorted and nodded helplessly.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu's handsome face that had been broken, and his heart ached, he gently stroked Zhou Yu's face, gritted his teeth and said: "Gongjin, don't worry, I swear to you, this revenge of yours, I, Sun Ce, will definitely avenge you!" ”

Zhou Yu's face showed a little relief, but he sighed lightly: "With your words, I will feel at ease, but now Hefei has been lost, we have no danger on land, and it is not easy to defeat Su Zhe on land. ”

Sun Cejian frowned, clenched his fists and said: "Hefei City is the throat of Huainan, can we just give it up, and this God-given opportunity to seize Huainan, don't we want it?" ”

Zhou Yu sighed softly, and his handsome face was full of helplessness.

Cheng Pu, Pan Zhang and other Jiangdong fierce generals were all indignant, shouting that they would continue to go north, recapture Fei, and fight Su Zhe to the death.

At this time, in the midst of the shouts of war, a Confucian man in a green shirt said lightly: "It's not that I underestimate the generals, you swept across the Jiangdong and the Yangtze River, naturally you are invincible and invincible, but if you want to land and fight with Su Zhe on land, with all due respect, you can only kill yourself." ”

The sound of battle was abrupt, and a pair of annoyed and complaining eyes looked at the green-shirted Confucian warrior, clearly dissatisfied with the Confucian scholar's underestimation of their land combat ability.

"Xu Yuanzhi, what do you mean by this, you also underestimate us!" The veteran Cheng Pu asked dissatisfiedly.

The green-shirted Confucian is Xu Shu.

On the eve of Liu Biao's destruction that day, Xu Shu left Liu Biao in the name of moving rescue soldiers, but he never returned, and went to Jiangdong to defect to Sun Ce.

In Sun Ce's war to pacify Jiangdong, he also made many suggestions, although his merits and wisdom were not as good as Zhou Yu's, but he also won Sun Ce's trust.

Sun Ce was not annoyed, and motioned to Xu Shu for him to continue.

Xu Shu said: "It's not that I underestimate anyone, this is an ironclad fact, Dong Zhuo Cao Cao and Lu Bu are the best examples, I don't need to explain too much." ”

Cheng Pu was speechless, but said: "Then what do you say, can we give Huainan to Su Zhe?" ”

Xu Shu said disapprovingly: "Su Zhe rose in the cold, in a short period of time to capture the three states of Yanjing and Henan, and now he has captured Huainan, it can be said that most of the Central Plains are under his control, he dominates the Central Plains, coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes look beautiful, but in fact he has offended the princes of the world, and he is his enemy in all directions. ”
