Xu Shu was shocked, and in a trance thought that his ears had heard it wrong.

He originally thought that Sun Ce planned to abandon the mouth of the water and retreat to the front line of quarrying and construction, but he did not expect that Sun Ce would retreat to Hefei.

Once occupied by the Wei army, it was equivalent to cutting off the north-south passage and closing the city of Hefei to the north of the Yangtze River.

Isn't Sun Ce's decision to put himself in a desperate situation?

"Lord, forgive me for being disrespectful, you're not joking with me." Xu Shu looked at Sun Ce in surprise.

Sun Ce's face sank: "When is it, do you think I'm joking?" ”

Xu Shu gasped and said hurriedly: "But once we retreat into Hefei, we will be surrounded by the Wei army, and the lord is the survival of Jiangdong, how can he be in a desperate situation?" ”

Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that retreating to Hefei is equivalent to being in a desperate situation, but if Hefei is lost, the two armies of the Su thieves will meet, and the 150,000 or 60,000 troops will be in Jiangdong, do you think we can still resist it?" ”

Xu Shu was dumbfounded.

Sun Ce continued: "Therefore, I have to block it, I want to use Hefei City to hold half of the Su thief's troops, so that he is unable to capture Hefei and Jianye, and drag it until he is forced to return to Jingzhou to deal with Liu Bei." ”

Sun Ce explained the reason for his move, and Xu Shu was completely silent, not saying a word, just sighing helplessly.

He understood the hardship, and he also understood why Sun Ce took the risk.

Everything was forced by Su Zhe, and in desperation, he could only risk his death.

"What if Hefei loses and the lord has a mistake?" Xu Shu asked.

Sun Ce pondered for a moment, and said silently: "I will repair a letter to Zhongmou and Gongjin, telling them to guard Jianye no matter what, no matter what Hefei is, they must not send troops to rescue, in case I have a mistake, I will ask Gongjin Zibu to support Zhongmou as the lord of Jiangdong." ”

Xu Shu's expression was slightly dark, and he understood that Sun Ce was planning to break the kettle and gamble with his own life to make a last stand.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Shu resolutely said: "Since this is the case, I, Xu Shu, will accompany the lord to Hefei, and the success or failure of life and death depends on this battle." ”

Sun Ce persuaded Xu Shu, so he no longer hesitated, while repairing the book and sending it to Jiangdong to Sun Quan, on the other hand, he ordered to abandon the Xuwu, led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and met with 10,000 soldiers and horses of Han Dang's department who were already halfway through, and quickly returned to Hefei.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Spring Valley City.

In the bedroom of the county government, Su Zhezheng and Pang Tong turned over the clouds and enjoyed the joy of fish and water.

Anhui mouth is broken, Jianye City is close at hand, the defeat of the Sun family has gone further, Su Zhe is spring breeze is proud mood, on a whim, naturally take advantage of the rare leisure, enjoy it.

After several clouds and rains, I don't know how many times Pang Tong was sent into the clouds, Su Zhecai was exhausted, lay down on his back facing the sky, gasping for breath, and reminiscing about the thrilling of Shicai.

Pang Tong was drenched in sweat, curled up in Su Zhe's arms, delicate and delicate, extremely soft son-in-law, and it was difficult to hide the sense of satisfaction on his red face.

"Husband, you haven't told me yet, why do you plan to get a beard without a fight?" Pang Tong was still thinking about this speculation and couldn't help asking.

"Tong'er, you're a phoenix, can't you guess it?" Su Zhe said with a smile.

Pang Tong sighed: "I, a phoenix, how can I match the resourcefulness of your dragon, don't laugh at me." ”

Su Zhe smiled: "What's the hurry, I believe we'll see you soon." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Xu Chu's knock sounded outside the door, saying that there was an urgent military intelligence in Jiangbei.

Military affairs are the most important, Su Zhe had to get up from Pang Tong's fragrant body and crawl out of the gentle township.

Pang Tong also got up busily, first dressed himself neatly, and then helped Su Zhe put on his clothes.

After a while, Su Zhe opened the door and asked lazily, "What is the emergency military situation on this big night?" ”

Xu Chu said excitedly: "Lord, I will send back the news carefully, Sun Ce has abandoned the Whisker Dock and ran." ”

"Oh, so fast." Su Zhe's tone was calm and calm, as if this information had been expected by him.

Pang Tong's eyes flickered, and he looked at Su Zhe with admiration: "It turns out that the husband really has a clever plan in secret, this time the husband doesn't have to hang our appetite anymore, you can tell me what kind of trick you have." ”

Su Zhe laughed, and no longer concealed it, so he explained his plan to secretly lead the cavalry south from Yuzhou, bypass Cheng Pu's department in Chengde City, and obliquely approach Hefei City.

Pang Tong suddenly realized at this time, and sighed with admiration: "It turns out that before the husband set off from Anhuikou, he expected that Sun Ce would send troops from Hefei to reinforce the mouth of the river. ”

Su Zhe smiled faintly: "Tong'er, you don't have to compliment this king, since Sun Ce has abandoned the wet beard and fled to Jianye, then let's immediately raise troops and collect the wet beard." ”

At this time, Xu Chu said: "I forgot to report to the King of Wei, then Sun Ce did not flee to Jianye, but led the army to flee to Hefei." ”

This information made Su Zhe look shocked, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes.

Pang Tong was also surprised: "Sun Ce, is he crazy, he actually fled to Hefei, is he not afraid that Hefei will be surrounded by us as an isolated city, and he himself will be in a desperate situation?" ”

After a blink of an eye of surprise, Su Zhe suddenly realized, and sneered: "Sun Ce, he is not crazy, he is gambling with this king, betting that this king will kill him first, or Liu Bei will force this king to withdraw back to Jingzhou." ”

Pang Tong realized at this time, and couldn't help sighing: "This Sun Ce is worthy of being a little overlord, but he is a little bold, I don't know how my husband plans to deal with it?" ”

Su Zhe sneered: "If he wants to gamble, this king will accompany him to gamble, pass the order, divide 10,000 troops to guard the mouth of the water, cut off Sun Ce's way back to the south, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will follow the king to the east of the river immediately and take Jianye directly!" ”

When the order was passed, the soldiers of the Wei army, who had fallen asleep, were immediately awakened and took action in full swing.

10,000 Wei troops were transferred to the north bank and collected the Wuxuwu left by Sun Ce, while the remaining 70,000 land and water troops continued eastward and quarried the last fortress upstream of Zhijianye.

……

Jianye City.

At the head of the West Gate, Sun Quan, who was blue-eyed and purple-haired, was standing with his sword in his hand, looking down at the city gate, and a steady stream of soldiers drove away to the riverside water camp.

At this time, he tried his best to cobble together more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from various counties, and prepared to send them to the front line of Misuwu to assist his brother in resisting Su Zhe's invasion.

"Gong Jin, this time, do you really have the confidence to defend the Whisker Dock?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu beside him, and his eyebrows could not hide his worry.

Zhou Yu said proudly: "Zhongmou, don't worry, this time we will learn the lessons of the previous defeat, so as not to respond to all changes, no matter what, we will not fight with Su thieves again, with the current strength, I expect to be able to defend Su Zhe and return to Jingzhou." ”

Sun Quan nodded slightly, and only sighed lightly: "I hope so." ”

Before the words fell, a messenger rushed into the city, arrived at the head of Jianye City, and presented a letter written by Sun Ce.

Sun Quan vaguely felt a trace of unease, took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but change his face greatly.
