Huo Jun hesitated for a moment and then said, "My lord, the general thought that our army was surrounding the city on all sides but had dispersed its strength. It would be better to block the entire army directly in the east of the city."
As he spoke, Huo Jun stepped forward and fiddled with the bamboo slips on the table, "Master, please see, if Zhou Yu wants to return for reinforcements, he can only go to the east of the city. If he dares to go to the west, he is seeking death. If nothing else, Liu
If the army of ten thousand does not return, the food and grass will be gone."
"Therefore, the general thought that it would be better to station all the army in the east of the city to prevent Zhou Yu from retreating."
Liu Cong touched his chin and thought for a while, then looked at Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan, what do you think?"
Pang Tong cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I think what General Huo said is true. The so-called short-sightedness of one person is because I didn't think carefully."
Huo Jun quickly raised his hands to Pang Tong and said, "The governor has defeated the last general."
"Well, you two don't have to be like this anymore. You are both working for Gu. Gu is very pleased. Just do as Zhong Miao said. Tomorrow Gu will move his army to Pang Tong!"
"My lord is wise."
The Wu army in Yuzhang City was already on the alert, and after midnight, Dong Xi took the lead in leading five thousand troops out of the city from the east.
"Soldiers, follow me and charge!"
With such a huge momentum, Liu Jun's scouts did not need to investigate, and he was exposed.
The scout quickly rode to Huang Zhong's camp and reported the matter to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong didn't fall asleep late at night, he was thinking about his son!
Yes, it was a son. Mr. Gao gave birth to a son for him! He adopted him to his wife, Ms. Liu. He promised that Mr. Gao would have another son and the two sons would share the family property equally!
Since Huang Xu's death, Huang Zhong has devoted himself to assisting the Ming Lord. Even if he dies in battle, his life will not be in vain.
But since Mr. Gao gave birth to a son for him, he was even more hopeful for this day. He wanted to build a good career and earn a big family fortune for his son.
I remember that when they were discussing matters in the Marquis Mansion, Liu Cong teased him for being so strong, but he didn't know why at first. Liu Cong teased him for giving birth to a son, but he actually didn't invite everyone to a drink.
At that time, he had just followed Pang Tong to conquer Wancheng and returned to Xiangyang. He also learned about the family affairs through letters. He was happy to have a son, but he did not expect this.
After Liu Cong finished teasing, he wanted to name his son. Naturally, he was very happy, no, honored. His son was called Huang Yuan!
The Yuan, the beginning of all things, is the great Qian Yuan. Liu Cong wishes that the Huang family will have prosperous descendants and endless incense starting from the Huang Yuan!
Huang Zhong is very satisfied with his current life. He has a master to be loyal to and a family to care about.
"General! The enemy troops have left the city! They are coming straight to our camp!"
Huang Zhong looked away from the starry sky, stood up suddenly, stared at the scout and asked, "How many enemy troops have come?"
The scout knight shook his head and said, "It's too dark to see clearly, but there are too many torches and flags. I estimate there are no less than 20,000 people!"
"Haha, if I don't hit him, he still dares to attack me?" Huang Zhong sneered.
"Go, wake up Samoko, who is sleeping like a dead pig, wake up all the soldiers. I want to see why this Jiangdong thief attacks me!"
"promise!"
Huang Zhong returned to the tent, took out his sword, and walked out of the tent again, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
Make great achievements now!
"General Samoko, please pay homage to the general." When Huang Zhong came to the camp wall, Samoko also arrived.
Huang Zhong just waved his hand.
Shamoko said again, "General, I am willing to go out to fight against the enemy."
Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly yet. The enemy army is coming fiercely, and we don't know how many there are. Just wait."
"promise."
"kill!"
"Kill...kill, kill..."
A fire shone in the distance, quickly heading towards the camp, but stopped eight hundred steps away from the camp and stopped moving forward.
Jiangdong's soldiers kept holding torches and galloping their horses. Zhou Yu gave all 5,000 cavalry in the army to Dong Xi, just to let him doubt the formation.
Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes, "These torches are too dense. I'm afraid one person is holding two fires. There are too many flags, but the military formation is not that huge."
"What do you mean, old general?" behind him, a lieutenant colonel asked.
Huang Zhong thought for a while and said, "This may be a trick by the enemy to lure them. When our army leaves the camp, their army will attack. Taking advantage of the chaos of fighting the general at night, it may not be impossible to break through."
"Pass my order. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Don't go out to fight the enemy yet. Send someone to report to the lord that Zhou Yu is preparing to escape!"
"promise!"
"Reporting to my lord, Military Advisor Pang is asking for an audience."
Late at night, Liu Cong had already fallen asleep, and Xing Daorong's shouts came from outside the big tent.
Liu Congxin opened the quilt, rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "What's the matter?"
"Zhou Yu's army is preparing to break out."
Liu Cong stood up directly from the bed, stepped on the wooden board with his bare feet, and walked out of the tent, "How is the battle going?"
Pang Tong was outside the tent. When he saw Liu Cong coming out, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Huang Zhong just came to report that Jiangdong's army left the city from the east of the city in Zishi, about ten thousand people."
"How did Huang Zhong deal with it?"
"He did not go out to meet the enemy, but guarded the camp and sent people to report to the lord."
"Well done! Shi Yuan, you immediately lead 15,000 troops to support Huang Zhong, and send someone to inform Wei Yan and Huang Zu. We must not let Zhou Yu run away so easily!"
"promise."
"Xing Daorong, come in and wear armor for me!"
"promise."
Yuzhang City, the west wall of the city was almost full of people, but there were no fires, and it was pitch black.
"Captain, Liu Jun has left the camp."
"How many soldiers have gone down?"
"Twenty thousand people have gone down."
Zhou Yu fished people down from the top of the city and prepared to march into the army early!
"Okay, wait a little longer, and when Liu Jun's army has gone far, we will attack from the city!"
"promise."
Liu Jun, who was lighting torches, shuttled past the north of the city. Zhou Yu finally ordered, "Open the city gate!"
Zhou Yu is already sitting on a war horse in class. He is dressed in white clothes and white armor, and his mount is also a white horse. Unlike Zhao Yun, who is cool and handsome, his temperament shows the style of a Confucian general.
"rush!"
"Kill! Kill..."
In Liu Cong's tent, he had already put on his armor and sat in front of the desk, waiting quietly.
"Isn't there a fight over there yet?"
Before Xing Daorong could answer, Liu Cong smiled again and said, "Oh, they have only been gone for a long time, so Gu Tai is a little impatient."
"After this battle, Jiangdong will definitely be destroyed by Gu!"
Xing Daorong is not good at other things, but his ability to flatter and observe people's emotions can be said to be self-taught. "General, I congratulate my lord. After destroying Jiangdong, my lord will be even more powerful than Cao Cao!"
Liu Cong was a little confused, "Why?"
Even if he destroyed Jiangdong, he only occupied a few states. Compared to Cao Cao, he was still far behind.
Xing Daorong chuckled, "My lord, Cao Cao can't pacify the south, but my lord can. Isn't this better than him?"
"Hahaha!" Liu Cong laughed and said, "Xing Daorong, Xing Daorong, I will definitely make you a flatterer in the future!"
Xing Daorong was not happy now, "The last general also has military merit, how can the lord make the last general a sycophant?"
"What are your military exploits?"
"Resist Cao Cao, drive away Liu, capture Chen Dao alive, destroy the barbarians, and protect the lord. How come the last general has no military merit?"
