- "My lord, what you mean is" Zhang Liao could already feel that Yan Liang's body was filled with murderous aura.
Yan Liang stood up suddenly and sneered: "Give me the order. Tomorrow I will order Gan Xingba to lead 10,000 naval troops to attack. I will go and frighten that Biyan'er."
At this time, Sun Quan still had 30,000 naval troops in his hands. If Ai County could not be captured for a long time, Sun Quan would probably send more troops to Yuzhang.
Although Wei Yan's ability to defend the city was outstanding, he was deep into Wu territory after all. Although Yan Liang was full of confidence in him, he could not let Wei Yan bear all the pressure alone.
Therefore, Yan Liang wanted to change his tactic of not fighting and take the initiative to order the navy to attack. Even if he did not engage in actual battle with the enemy, he could put pressure on Sun Quan and make him dare not easily deploy troops again.
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then understood the intention, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "My lord is very flexible in using his troops, and his ability to adapt to changes seems to be on par with Duke Cao. It is really commendable."
¡¡
Twenty miles downstream, the Wu army camp was located.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Sun Quan was pacing back and forth, his brows furrowed and his expression full of anxiety.
Regarding Ai County, Sun Quan has already learned the news that Lu Su's army will not be able to capture it for a long time.
Sun Quan really couldn't believe that there was something so special about that unknown man named Wei Yan that he could make the 25,000-strong army led by Lu Su helpless.
Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, and now Wei Yan, these were not well-known people who were originally under Liu Biao, but now in the hands of Yan Liang, they have all become headaches for Sun Quan.
That dog thief Yan Liang. What method was used to make every piece of rotten iron in his hands glow with the light of gold?
Sun Quan couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it.
But these are not the point. The point is how to capture Ai County as soon as possible. If we continue to delay this war, it will only become more and more beneficial to him.
Sun Quan originally wanted to mobilize another part of Shouchun's army to go south, but unfortunately, an urgent report from Cheng Pu just a few days ago stated that the enemy general Zhang He was leading 5,000 elite infantry and cavalry. Go south along the Ying River and head toward Shouchun.
After receiving the news, Sun Quan naturally hated Yan Liang even more.
Sun Quan knew very well Yan Liang's purpose of using troops in the north. Although a mere 5,000 infantry and cavalry were not enough to capture Shouchun, they were enough to pose a considerable threat. Yan Liang's move was clearly intended to hold back his army in Shouchun and make him We dare not send a single troop to go south.
obviously. Yan Liangzhi's goal was achieved.
Even though Sun Quan knew Yan Liang's intentions, he did not dare to take the risk. After all, Shouchun was too important to him at this time. If anything went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.
Pacing back and forth, the cloud on Sun Quan's face became heavier and heavier.
All the generals in the tent held their breath and did not dare to take another breath of air.
In the silence, Xu Sheng suddenly said: "My lord, since Ai County cannot be attacked for a long time, the general thought that it would be better to transfer another 10,000 troops from the camp to the Governor of Lu. I don't believe it. If we combine 35,000 troops, we can still defeat them." A mere Ai County cannot be conquered."
Sun Quan stopped and looked back at Xu Sheng, his frown slightly relaxed, as if he had received some reminder.
"Since more than 20,000 troops have been mobilized, if we cannot recover Ai County as soon as possible, it will be a waste of effort. If so, it is better to simply mobilize another 10,000 troops and annihilate the enemies of Ai County in one go"
Sun Quan's thinking quickly turned around. He weighed it for a long time, his frown gradually relaxed, and he seemed to have made a decision.
"Wen Xiang's words make sense. It's useless for 30,000 troops to sit here. It's better to mobilize another army"
"Report¡ª¡ª"
Before the words were spoken, a scout hurried in and shouted: "Your Majesty, the sentinel ship upstream has reported urgently and found that Yan Jun's navy was out in force and was heading towards our camp."
As soon as these words came out, all the Wu generals in the tent, including Sun Quan, looked shocked.
No one expected that Yan Liang, who had been holding on, would choose to attack at this time.
After the shock, Sun Quan's blue eyes immediately burst out with a look of ecstasy, and he laughed and said: "Yan Liang, the thief, finally couldn't hold himself back anymore. Well, it would be better for him to take the initiative, and I will take this opportunity to kill him." The navy took advantage of the situation and annihilated it."
Sun Quan, who was in ecstasy, thought that Yan Liang had finally made a defeat. In excitement, he immediately ordered Xu Sheng, Chen Wu and others to lead the navy out in full force, trying to annihilate the main force of Yan Liang's navy in one fell swoop through a decisive battle on the water.
Thirty thousand Wu troops and 600 warshipsThe boats came out of the killing water camp in a mighty manner, went up the river, and rushed towards the 10,000 navy troops commanded by Gan Ning.
When the Wu army left the camp in a fierce manner and was still seven or eight miles away from Gan Ning's fleet, the sentinel ship reported the news to Gan Ning.
Looking at the overwhelming cloud sails coming downstream from a distance, Gan Ning revealed a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"As expected, my lord, Sun Quan is so impatient that he wants to fight us, so he sent out his entire army so quickly, huh."
The enemy army was approaching, but there was no trace of murderous intent on Gan Ning's face except for the mockery.
He just sneered and said disapprovingly: "The Wu people have left their nest, it's time for us to go back. Send an order to the entire army to withdraw troops and return to camp."
The flag was waved and the order was given. Hundreds of Yanjun warships turned around and retreated towards the Fankou camp more than ten miles away.
When the 30,000-strong Wu army arrived in a hurry, Gan Ning's navy had already fled far away.
Xu Sheng and other generals saw that Yan's army was retreating and the battle failed, but they did not dare to pursue and attack Fankou, so they had to return to their base camp with an unhappy mood.
However, in the next three days, Yan Liang ordered Gan Ning to lead his army to attack three times in the morning, afternoon and evening, making it look like he was about to launch a large-scale attack.
Sun Quan, on the other hand, was eager to fight decisively and sent out 30,000 troops every time, but every time he rushed to nothing, not even a hair on Yan Jun's body was touched.
After several feints, Sun Quan finally came to his senses after being teased.
It turns out that Yan Liang has no intention of fighting you decisively at all. The feigned attacks he made several times are just harassment tactics. The purpose is only to hold back Sun Quan's main force and prevent him from dividing his troops to reinforce Aixian County.
After being teased several times, Sun Quan's hatred for Yan Liang could not help but increase.
However, Sun Quan was helpless, because he could not be sure which of Yan Liang's feints was true. If one of the ten feints was true, at that time his troops were transferred to Ai County, and then Yan Liang came to attack in large numbers. , if the main business makes a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.
In desperation, Sun Quan could only give up the plan of sending more troops. At this time, he could only hope that Di Lusu could conquer Ai County as soon as possible with his military skills.
¡¡
Dusk.
In the big tent, Sun Quan had a sad face and stared at the map in trance.
The self-confidence and domineering spirit that Moling had when he went on the expedition have now been wiped away by Yan Liang's clever tricks one after another. At this time, Sun Quan has lost the high spirits he once had.
The curtains of the tent were raised, and a gust of cold wind penetrated into the tent. Sun Quan trembled and shuddered.
When I looked up, I saw a young man with delicate features walking into the tent.
"It's Boyan. Aren't you in Wuzhong? How come you are here?" Sun Quan asked.
That young Confucian scholar was Lu Xun.
Lu Xun cupped his hand and said calmly: "Xun came from Jiangdong to escort grain and fodder under the order of the lord. He came here to report back to the lord."
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered this matter.
"I've been busy with military affairs recently, so I forgot about it." Sun Quan patted his forehead gently and laughed at himself with a wry smile.
Lu Xun hesitated for a moment and then asked cautiously: "When Xun was in Jiangdong, I heard that the military situation on the Chaisang front line was not going well. I wonder if Xun can share the Lord's worries?"
Lu Xun was just a newborn calf with little qualifications, but now he wanted to share Sun Quan's worries. This confidence was commendable.
Sun Quan thought of Zhou Yu who was recovering from illness and wrote to him to recommend Lu Xun, saying that although Lu Xun was young, he was very resourceful. Sun Quan thought that since there was no other way now, he might as well listen to the opinions of this young man in front of him.
At that time, Sun Quan followed Yan Liang's various tricks and dealt with the young man.
After Lu Xun heard this, he was silent for a long time and said calmly: "Our army is being led by Yan Liang in every aspect. The situation is indeed somewhat passive. However, Xun has a plan that may help our army reverse the passive situation."
Hearing these words, Sun Quan was shocked, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his brows.
¡¡
Fankou.
Yan Liang in the tent was drinking wine by himself and listening leisurely to the reports of the generals.
In the south of Ru, Zhang He's infantry and cavalry went south along the Ying River, and successively captured Ruyin and other counties, and their troops were approaching Yingkou.
Zhang He's move south put considerable pressure on the Wu people on the Shouchun front line. Cheng Pu, the governor of the northern front, had to mobilize all the troops in Huainan and garrison them on the Yingkou line to prevent Zhang He's army from crossing the Huaihe River defense line.The Wu army in Shouchun is no longer able to move south and there is nothing to fear.
As for the Wu camp, Gan Ning's repeated feint attacks had forced Sun Quan to not dare to mobilize any more troops.
South of Chaisang, Huang Zhong, who was good at mountain warfare, also put considerable pressure on Sun Yu with his attack in the Mufu Mountain area.
As for Ai County, let alone Lu Su, who had no reinforcements from Sun Quan. Although he had more than 20,000 troops, he besieged Ai County for many days and launched several fierce attacks, but he was still unable to do anything to Wei Yan.
All kinds of intelligence are developing in favor of Yan Liang, and what Yan Liang has to do now is to wait for his chariots and ships to be armed, and then look for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Sun Quan.
"Very good, send people to break into Ai County and tell Wei Wenchang to pin him to Ai County for me. If he can hold on until I defeat Sun Quan's main force, he will be the first minister who contributed to the pacification of Soochow."
Yan Liang was in high spirits, and all the generals in the tent were also deeply encouraged by the current situation.
At this time, Zhou Cang hurriedly entered the account and handed the toilet paper and silk book to Yan Liang, "My lord, there is an urgent report from Jingzhou."
Yan Liang took the silk book and glanced at it roughly. The two blade-like eyebrows could not help but condense slightly.
