After the Cao army's cavalry arrived at the city of Chaisang, they did not rush to attack.

While setting up camps, they sent several troops to search everywhere, so as to prevent Jiangdong from hiding troops outside the city.

After a long time, the mighty main force of Cao's army finally arrived.

Seeing the densely packed enemy soldiers with murderous aura, even though Cheng Pu had experienced many battles, his scalp was numb.

He turned his head to Ding Feng beside him,

"Have you ever sent someone to notify the lord?"

"Report to the Governor, the envoy has left the city!"

"That's good!"

Cheng Pu nodded and felt relieved.

When Jiangdong fought with Huang Zu, Chaisang was the military important place on the front line.

Jiangdong invested a lot of manpower and material resources here, and even introduced river water to dig a moat.

Although Cao's army had artillery, Cheng Pu was very confident that he could hold on until Sun Quan's reinforcements arrived.

Once reinforcements arrive, Cao's army may not be able to capture the city!

...

After the Ruxu Shui Village was captured by Cao's army, in order to prevent Cao's army from entering the Yangtze River, Sun Quan spared no effort to build a new city called Zheqi City on the other side of the Ruxu Shui River flowing into the Yangtze River.

If there is no big deal on weekdays, he will basically leave it here.

This shows how afraid of Yang Ling is.

The envoy sent by Cheng Pu went south along the Yangtze River. In just one night, he arrived at Zheqi City, located on the other side of Ruxukou.

"...I'll ask Mr. Wu to send out reinforcements quickly to support the governor!"

After hearing the envoy's words, Sun Quan's expression changed.

He did not expect that Cao's army would be so anxious and launched an attack so quickly!

"Next month is rainy season, I guess Cao's army is planning to take action before the rainy season."

Lu Xun, who was standing beside him, slowly analyzed,

"As long as we persist until the rainy season comes, the weather is bad at that time, and Cao's army will have to retreat."

"You're right, but the question is, how should we support the left governor?"

Sun Quan rubbed his forehead, looking quite helpless.

After so many years of development, the total force of Jiangdong has been around 200,000.

But this number looks huge, but it is fat.

Most of the troops were arranged in the Chaisang area and on the Yangtze River to guard against Cao's attack.

The remaining army was either private soldiers from wealthy families, and Sun Quan had no right to mobilize them.

Or they were sent to the hinterland of Jiangdong to guard against the rebellion of the Shanyue people.

Therefore, Sun Quan had only hundreds of thousands of troops, but he was in a short position.

Lu Xun thought for a while and suggested,

"Wu Hou might as well transfer half of the navy and go to support the left governor."

Sun Quan was slightly stunned, and said with some concern.

"This matter is light, but what if Cao's army attacks from the water?"

"Don't worry, even if there are only half of the navy, it will be enough to keep Cao's army from coming and going!"

Lu Xun smiled discontently.

After thinking about it, Sun Quan thought that what Lu Xun said made sense.

When Sima Yi was in command of Jiangling, Cao's navy was almost wiped out by the Sun and Liu coalition.

Cao Wei was not good at building warships. In less than half a year, how many warships could they build?

It is more than enough to leave half of the navy to defend the waterway.

As long as you can defend Chaisang for January, when the rainy season comes, Cao's army will naturally retreat!

Sun Quan thought this way, but frowned slightly.

"Yang Ling is a cunning man. What if Cao's army attacked Chaisang in a feint attack and he sent troops from Hefei again?"

"Chaisang and Zheqi only have one day's waterway. If something really happens, Wu Hou can support him at any time."

Lu Xun analyzed,

"With our army's strength, even if it is not an opponent of Cao's army, it will not be impossible to hold on for a day, right?"

After hearing his words, Sun Quan stretched his eyebrows.

"Okay! I'll pass our military order and immediately allocate half of the troops and go with me to Chaisang!"

"General Yi Gong, you will be in charge of this place!"

Han Dang followed Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan one after another, and made outstanding achievements and had a high prestige in Jiangdong.

Let him sit in Zheqi City, but it is the most suitable!

"Please rest assured by Mr. Wu, just hand it over to me!"

Han Dang said in a deep voice.

"Okay! Get rid of it and let's go immediately!"

Sun Quan felt relieved and told Lu Xun, Lu Su, Ling Tong and others beside him.

The war was urgent, and the soldiers of Jiangdong did not dare to neglect them.

After a little rectification, they rode the warship upstream and headed towards Chaohu Lake!

After Sun Quan and others left, Han Dang immediately ordered to go to alert, allowing the soldiers to patrol the Yangtze River and Ruxukou day and night to prevent Cao's army from coming out of Hefei!

After a busy day and after inspecting the situation in the city, Han Dang returned to his residence and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to take off his armor and go to bed to rest, he saw a messenger running in in a hurry.

"Report to General, our army captured a small boat on the surface of the river, and the people on the boat claimed to be the Overthrow General!"

Han Dang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said,

"Bring him here!"

Not long after, several soldiers took a big man to Han Dang's room.

When Han Dang saw the appearance of the man, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Brother Gongfu, you're fine!"

Yes, the person who came was Huang Gai!

In the battle in Hefei, Huang Gai and Lu Meng were captured together.

After the gains and losses of Hefei City were previously lost, Lu Meng and Huang Gai were both captured.

After the news of Lu Meng's murder came back, although he did not know where Huang Gai was, in the eyes of the Jiangdong people, Huang Gai and Lu Meng's fate were similar.

Sun Quan not only set a tomb for Huang Gai, but also ordered his family to be highly rewarded.

Han Dang and Huang Gai rose up at about the same time, following Sun Quan and being both old men in Jiangdong, but they had a deep friendship.

After learning that Huang Gai was "killed", Han Dang still cried bitterly and vowed to avenge Huang Gai.

But he never expected that Huang Gai not only did not die, but even appeared in front of him!

"Your Majesty does not need to be excited, I am very good."

Huang Gai was not as excited as Han Dang, but smiled faintly.

"Please also ask the public to leave the left and right. I have something important to discuss with you!"

When Han Dang heard this, he realized something was wrong.

According to common sense, Huang Gai fell into the hands of Cao's army and was either killed like Lu Meng or imprisoned.

And he came alone tonight, and his words were so mysterious again, could it be him...

Han Dang was nervous and hesitated for a moment before he ordered,

"You all retreat first!"

"Here!"

The soldiers on both sides bowed and took the order.

After only two people were left in the room, Han Dang stared at Huang Gai with a solemn expression.

"Could it be that Brother Gongfu has surrendered Yang Zhe?"

Huang Gai sat down, fiddled with the oil lamp on the desk, and said lightly,

"Yi Gong said it well, I surrendered to the general!"

Han Dang didn't expect Huang Gai to admit it so simply. He was stunned for a moment and then said angrily,

"Yang Ling is a despicable man, greedy and lustful person. Why did he surrender to him?"
