In May of the third year of Jian'an!

Cao Cao sent troops to Xuchang. After learning the news, Chu Feng immediately led his troops back to reinforce, leaving Liang Gang and three thousand troops to guard Piling.

————

Wuxi, inside the general's mansion.

Sun Ce was overjoyed after hearing what the scout in the hall had said. He slapped the case and laughed loudly: "Haha, Chu Feng, Chu Feng, do you know what it feels like to have your hometown be attacked this time?"

When Wu Jun was attacked, he immediately came back to help.

"My lord, Chu Feng has withdrawn more than 10,000 troops. At this moment, the opportunity to fight has arrived. Liang Gang, the general with wine and rice bags, is willing to be the vanguard and defeat Piling himself. For my lord, I will kill the generals, seize the flag, and regain the lost territory."

Cheng Pu clasped his fists and said loudly.

"My lord, the Chu thieves have withdrawn their troops. They should take advantage of the situation to take back Wu County, drive their troops out of Wu County, and then recover Danyang and other places to prevent Chu Feng from crossing the river again."

Han Dang also suggested.

"Haha, okay, send an order to the three armies. Let me tell you that Cao Cao and our army are jointly attacking Shouchun. Let's light a fire at the third watch tomorrow and set off at the fifth watch. Follow me to recapture the entire territory of Wu County in one fell swoop and protect the territory and the people."

Sun Ce laughed loudly and shouted.

These days, he kept hearing that this side was out of control and that side was out of his control. Finally, he finally heard the good news. Cao Cao was still reliable.

Obviously Cao Cao is worried about Chu Feng becoming bigger.

Zhou Yu, who was next to him, frowned slightly, but still said: "My lord, Chu Feng is deceitful and definitely not kind, so be careful!"

"Captain Zhou, are you scared out of your wits by Chu Feng?" Cheng Pu said dissatisfied. After all, Chu Feng's people had withdrawn, yet you were still so worried.

"Haha, the world says that Chu Feng is deceitful, but in my opinion, although he is deceitful, what makes the world more afraid of him is that the world thinks that he is too predictable!"

Han Dang also added with a sneer.

Zhou Yu frowned, and when Sun Ce saw this, he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Gong Jin's worries are not unreasonable, but this time he has returned to Shouchun's aid."

"The people of Chu Feng have already left. If our army is still afraid of Chu Feng and dare not march, then will the world not laugh at me, Sun Cehu? I will be even more sorry for such an opportunity."

"But..."

"Okay, I have made up my mind. I will set up camp at five o'clock tomorrow. The three armies will follow me to capture Piling. We will go down to Piling on the 15th day. Within 30 days, we will capture Dantu and occupy Wu Commandery."

Sun Ce shouted with great enthusiasm.

"Okay, everyone, go down and get ready!" Sun Ce waved his hand.

"promise!"

All the generals drank in unison.

Every one of them was still eager to try. This time they were able to attack the city first and behead the generals and perform meritorious deeds. The main reason was that they were annoyed by Chu Feng.

It's time to let them feel refreshed.

————

In the third year of Jian'an, it was late May.

Cao Cao divided his troops to surround the water stronghold of Lu Su and crossed the Huaihe River to the south. Soon he would surround Shouchun. As a last resort, Lu Su led his guards to withdraw from the water stronghold and go to Shouchun to take charge of the overall situation.

Sun Ce marched into Piling and began to build siege equipment and prepare to attack the city. However, a troop wearing Sun's army armor was lying around day and night.

Rapidly approaching Wuxian County.

————

At this moment, in General Shouchun's mansion.

Lu Su was pacing back and forth. He had been very busy these days. He asked anxiously: "Where is General Ji Ling?"

"Back to the general, General Ji Ling sent a message saying that he has passed Hefei and will arrive in five days," the guard replied.

"Five days? No, it's too long. Cao Cao will have surrounded Shouchun in five days."

"Go and ask Ji Ling to abandon all the baggage and move the whole army quickly. They must reach Shouchun within three days." Lu Su frowned and directly gave the death order.

Lu Su knew that once Cao's army besieged the city, Ji Ling's lone army would be in danger outside the city. Instead of doing this, it was better to abandon the baggage and return to the army quickly.

Grain Drum

"No!" the guard responded and retreated.

"Is there any news from my lord?" Lu Su couldn't help but ask.

"Return to the general, not yet!" Another bodyguard replied.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a messenger rushing from outside the mansion, shouting: "General, there is an urgent message from the Lord."

Lu Su looked stern, and immediately stepped forward to take the envelope. He glanced around and his pupils suddenly trembled. Chu Feng sent someone to pretend to come back for reinforcements. He wanted to capture Wu County?

Although the specific situation is written in great detail below, and the pros and cons are even analyzed, Shouchun's military strength is only 5,000.

If Ji Ling fails to come back in time, Shouchun may be lost!

"Hi!" Lu Su sighed.

Since Chu Feng had made up his mind, he had no choice but to say immediately: "Send the order, my lord has led his troops to return for reinforcements and will arrive soon. The three armies must defend the city."

After saying that, he decided to go to Qiaofu again.

Whether Shouchun can be defended this time depends on Qiao Rui. He has a good relationship with the aristocratic families in the city. If necessary, he may need the help of the aristocratic family to defend the city.

————

A few days later, Cao's army came to the city.

Ji Lingjun was a step too late and could only camp fifty miles south of the city to protect Shouchun.

Under the city, Cao Cao led his troops to inspect.

Looking at the expanded Shouchun, Cao Cao said with emotion: "Shouchun was still in dire straits a year ago. I didn't expect that such a big change would occur in just one year."

Guo Jia and Xun You also nodded.

After crossing the Huaihe River, they could see continuous roads, ditches, and official roads everywhere. They were also in good condition and tidy. This was definitely not the predicament that Yuan Shu had when he was in power.

"Mr. Cao, I think Chu Feng is already on his way back to the army. Without further delay, we should order the construction of siege equipment to attack the city first," Liu Bei said, cupping his fists.

His two wives are still in the city.

I don’t know what happened to them!

"Haha, that's right!" Cao Cao chuckled and said perfunctorily.

Although there are not many defenders in Shouchun, Shouchun is outnumbered by Yuan Shu and is a fortified city. A normal attack on the city will inevitably result in countless casualties, not to mention that he came to force Chu Feng to retreat.

Rather than this, it doesn't matter whether you attack the city or not.

After a tour of the camp, all the troops left.

Guan Yu followed Liu Bei, hesitated for a long time and finally said: "Brother, Cao Cao obviously doesn't want to attack the city. I think he just came here to let Chu Feng return to the army."

Liu Bei's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what was happening in his heart.

"Hey, it doesn't matter whether he attacks the city or not, as long as that old boy Chu Feng comes back, I'll see if I don't poke 10,000 transparent holes in him!"

Zhang Fei glared fiercely and shouted.

"Third brother, don't underestimate the heroes of the world!" Liu Bei scolded with a frown, Zhang Fei was good at everything, but he was too reckless.

"Brother, let me tell you, you are too cautious!" Zhang Fei retorted. In his opinion, Liu Bei was too cautious in his conduct.

When he was in Xuchang, Liu Bei didn't even dare to take a breath and farmed all day long, which made Zhang Fei very depressed.

"Third brother, don't be rude!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and scolded him, but he was more aloof and arrogant than Zhang Fei. Guan Yu never looked down upon people like Chu Feng, and he killed them like chickens and dogs.

This man occupied his sister-in-law. In Guan Yu's eyes, Chu Feng was already dead, but he just hadn't had time to kill him!

Liu Bei lamented that although his two brothers were extremely brave, they each had their own character flaws. Zhang Fei was reckless, but his relatives were humiliated, Guan Yu was arrogant, and his relatives were soldiers from a distant family.

When can he help the Han Dynasty?

When will I stop living as a sojourner?
