In the room, Ms. Xie was sobbing.

Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and there was even more sadness on her beautiful cheeks. This battle was very dangerous. Chu Feng had strong soldiers and horses, but Sun Quan had few soldiers and generals. How could he win?

She doesn't want to become a widow just after getting married!

Sun Quan was arranging his armor and sword when he took off a stiff bow. Although he was not as young as Weak Guan, he was still brave enough to draw the bow to its full string.

Sun Quan chuckled lightly, but from the corner of his eye he saw Mrs. Xie crying, and immediately said: "Madam, don't worry, this trip is just to guard Piling and wait for the return of eldest brother and Gong Jin."

"What's more, Chu Feng has a deer head and rat eyes. I regard him as a dog or a dolphin. He can be easily broken. It's nothing to worry about. Madam, please don't worry anymore."

Ms. Xie swallowed harder and just lowered her head silently.

War has always been the most dangerous place, so why not worry!

I just hope that everything goes well and that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can return to the defense as soon as possible and drive Chu Feng out of Wu County.

————

It was late February in the third year of Jian'an.

Sun Quan led He Qi, Pan Zhang, and Zhu Ran with an army of eight thousand, known as thirty thousand elites, and stationed in Piling, which also gave the frightened Piling City a reassurance.

In Wu County, Zhu Zhi shocked all ethnic groups, and Sun Jian's third son, Sun Yi, led an army to strictly investigate and defend, and his wife, Mrs. Wu, comforted the families, and finally calmed down the unrest in Wu County.

————

At this moment, outside Piling City.

Chu Feng led seven thousand infantry to camp outside the city, while Chen Ji and Liang Gang camped on the left and right sides in the southwest and northwest, as if to guard against the intrusion of Zhou Yu's army.

On the top of the city, Sun Quan stood with his sword in hand, looking at the busy Chu army outside the city. His face was worried, and he was not good at fighting. Instead, he was trained by Mrs. Wu to be proficient in the art of balancing.

This time he is stationed in Piling, and the more important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Lord, the Chu army has not set up defenses. It is better to let the last general lead his troops to fight and destroy his prestige first!" Pan Zhang said sonorously, patting his chest.

"No, our army will focus on defense in this battle, and we must not take the initiative to attack. What's more, Chu Feng is deceitful, and he is still so lax even after his troops are approaching the city. There must be an ambush in this!"

Sun Quan said in a deep voice.

He had heard that Chu Feng was brave, and if Chu Feng defended Piling, he would not be able to invade Wu County, so there was no need to take risks and fight to kill the enemy!

"Hey! What a great opportunity!"

Pan Zhang muttered, as if it was a pity.

At this time, a crisp shout sounded.

"Second brother, as a general, you must learn to assess the situation. Now Chu Feng's military discipline is lax. He has clearly conquered several counties in a row, and his soldiers have become arrogant soldiers."

"An old saying goes: An arrogant soldier will be defeated!"

At this moment, as long as a general is sent to attack them quickly, they will definitely be able to defeat their edge and destroy their camp. This is also to better defend the city."

Sun Shangxiang strode forward with his sword in hand,

However, she was wearing an ordinary soldier's armor and was followed by several attendants. If you look closely, you can see that these are also girls.

"Little sister? Why are you here? Who asked you to come? He Qi, immediately send someone to take her back to Wu County." Sun Quan frowned and rolled his sleeves to scold,

"I think he dares!" Sun Shangxiang shouted.

"Uh, this," He Qi muttered in his heart. This little ancestor was not an easy man, and he was quite skilled in martial arts, just like his father and brother.

"Little sister, military disputes are nothing to play with. Listen to my brother and go back quickly." Sun Quan saw his sister coming forward fiercely, so he had to persuade him politely.

"I practice martial arts diligently just to protect the country and the people, so why not die in battle?" Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly and said with great force.

"Eh," Sun Quan was helpless.

He rolled his sleeves and looked at Zhu Ran, and said sternly: "Zhu Ran, I'll leave her to you. I'll protect her every step of the way. If anything happens to her, come and see me!"

"No!" Zhu Ran nodded.

"He Qi, guard the city gates. No one is allowed to leave the city without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Sun Quan looked at He Qi again and said in a deep voice.

After saying that, Sun Quan strode down the city wall.

He went out to fight Chu Feng, but his brain was not working well. Why not just sit back and wait for Zhou Yu to come to help? After all, Zhou Yu was guarding Niuzhu, which was only four to five hundred miles away!

Counting the courier, it should arrive in half a month.

When the time comes, we can unite with Zhou Yu's army to attack Chu Feng. If nothing happens, we can wait for Sun Ce to return to the army and drive Chu Feng out of Wu County in one fell swoop.

——

at night,

Outside the city, several camps rose from the ground.

However, it still needs to be repaired and reinforced. This time, it has been densely packed with antlers and other materials to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp at night.

In the camp, at the commander's tent.

Zhao Fan said with emotion: "My lord, this Sun Quan has some strategy. Our army was so lax during the day and he didn't fall for it. He obviously saw through our ambush."

As soon as the words came out, the generals nodded frequently.

This Sun Jian has something for giving birth to a child, so let Sun Ce be fierce, and Sun Quan is so proficient in the art of war, I'm afraid this battle won't be resolved quickly!

Chu Feng stared at the map and thought about countermeasures. At this moment, without raising his head, he said slowly: "Sun Quan is not proficient in the art of war, he is just a coward!"

"Cowardly?" Everyone was surprised.

"This man is the exact opposite of his brother Sun Ce. His brother is a brave champion of the three armies and is famous for his chivalry. However, he is good at power checks and balances, but he does not know how to fight with soldiers!"

Chu Feng moved his fingers on the map and said to himself.

Of course, when he said that Sun Quan didn't know how to fight, he was just exaggerating to boost morale. Although Sun Quan later gave General Cao Wei numerous food fiefs,

He even became a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households for Man Chong, but this person must know the military, but he is far behind his brother, and he has never been able to make a step beyond [Hefei]!

"Master, why did you say this?" Liu Ye frowned.

"I just heard about it a little bit!" Chu Feng chuckled, but at this moment he frowned and said: "We must capture Piling in this battle, otherwise we will take a detour to Yangxian, Wucheng is too far, and the lone army will go deep!"

Liu Ye nodded, "Yes, it may take more than half a month to make a detour to attack the enemy. By then, Zhou Yu of Niuzhu will definitely lead his army back to defend, and he will be in danger alone."

"However, there are thousands of troops defending Piling City, which is comparable to our army. The art of war goes like this: if you are ten, you will surround it, if you are five, you will attack it. If you double it, you will divide it. Then the enemy will be able to fight."

"Now Sun Quan can't hold on and lures the enemy to no avail. It's so difficult to defeat him!" Liu Ye also looked helpless. After all, the two armies were similar in strength and it was difficult to win.

Unless they fight in the field or attack their food routes.

"When will the reinforcements arrive?" Chu Feng frowned. He did not think that Sun Quan would dare to come out to fight with him in the field. He had to think of countermeasures and send additional reinforcements.

The safe way this time is to take root in Wu County and let Sun Ce and Zhou Yu fight with him at home. The greedy one is to make progress in Wu County, and try even if it is difficult.

Chu Feng is planning to try it now,

Even if it doesn't work, just retreat to Qu'a.

"Zijing has sent Gan Ning and eight thousand elite troops to come for reinforcements. It will arrive in more than ten days." Liu Ye said solemnly, cupping his fists.

"Deployed eight thousand?" Chu Feng frowned, "Tell Lu Su that Niuzhu's troops are empty, and ask him to guard Niuzhu. He must not fall into the trap."

"No!" Liu Ye nodded.

"Chen Ji, Liang Gang, you two have set up a strong camp for me. Place extra antlers and don't be careless." Chu Feng specifically warned.

These two camps were used to guard against Zhou Yu.

"Okay, everyone, please retreat!" He waved his hand, and Chu Feng himself was the only one left in the tent. He once again looked at the map, studied the troop movements, and wanted to find a strategy to defeat the enemy.
