Xia Houyuan barracks in a cry, the prime minister''s army is about to arrive, take small Wu county is not easy?


    Compared with the cheers of XiaHouYuan''s army, the atmosphere in Wu County suddenly became solidified.


    Palace City, Wu County, in the conference hall.


    Sun Quan was sitting on the throne, his young face frowned and his face heavy.


    "Governor, is this news true?"


    Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu at the top of the left.


    Zhou Yu nodded and confirmed: "this is a letter jointly signed by Gong Yi and Youtai Gong. It should be true. Moreover, Cao Cao is afraid that the Bing Feng has already pointed to Danyang and will arrive in Wujun in a few days."


    "That is to say, there are at least 560000 Cao soldiers gathered in Wu County?"


    "My God, what can I do?"


    "It''s over. This is really a disaster."


    Many Jiangdong civil and military officials were frightened. Today, a letter was sent from Wanling City, Danyang county. It was signed by Fu Bo Zhonglang, Jiang Qin and Danyang prefect Sun Jing.


    It is said that there were 100000 Cao troops coming through Yuzhang county. Sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang County, had already surrendered to the enemy. Therefore, Yuzhang county was directly in the hands of Cao''s army, and Cao''s army, which marched eastward with great fanfare, is now storming Danyang county.


    Sun Jing resisted with difficulty and sent the letter to teach Sun Quan to make a decision early.


    "You can rest assured that a certain army once fought against Cao''s army in Lujiang River. The number of Cao''s troops is between 30000 and 40000 at most, and there is absolutely no possibility that there will be as many as 100000." Zhou Yu said.


    After listening to Zhou Yu''s words, some people are relieved. After all, 30000 or 40000 people are better than 100000 people.


    Some people are still worried. There are 340000 Cao Cao and 15000 XiaHouYuan people outside Wu County. The total strength of Jiangdong army is only about 20000.


    What''s more, Danyang county''s military strength is weak, so it can''t resist the fierce attack of Cao''s army, which means that most of Jiangdong''s territory is now in the hands of Cao''s army.


    It can be said that this is the biggest crisis in Jiangdong.


    "Lord!"


    Tai Shici suddenly stood up and clasped his fists. His eyes were firm and he said, "you Tai Gong is holding fast in Danyang county. No matter how fast Cao''s army is, it will take at least a few more days before we can reach Wujun. Our army is not without a chance!"


    "At present, our troops in Wu County are more than Xia Houyuan''s, and the people''s hearts are against him. We can completely defeat Xia Houyuan and cut off one of Cao Cao''s arms."


    "Once the main force of Cao Cao arrives in Wu County and joins forces with Xia Houyuan, then even if our army wants to fight against Xia Houyuan, we will not have this opportunity."


    "Please order the Lord to personally supervise the army to attack XiaHouYuan''s barracks. The last general is willing to be the vanguard and defeat XiaHouYuan in one fell swoop!"


    Tai Shici said boldly.


    He said so, many Jiangdong army generals applauded one after another.


    Chen Wu got up and said, "my Lord, order me. Even if Chen Wu is going to spare this life, I will break through the camp gate of XiaHouYuan."


    Huang Gai clasped his fist and said: "Huang is not old enough. Please give me an order. I''m willing to lead the troops to rush into the array."


    "My Lord, it''s better to fight with Xia Houyuan than to wait for death!"


    Hearing so many calls for war, Sun Quan couldn''t help but shake his fist. After all, he was a young man, and his heart also gave birth to the idea of fighting to the death with Xia Houyuan.


    However...


    Sun Quan still looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Dudu, how about a decisive battle between our army and Xia Houyuan?"


    "My Lord, your courage is commendable."


    "But has the Lord ever thought about whether our army can defeat Xia Houyuan? Even if we can defeat Xia Houyuan, how many soldiers can we have left to cope with Cao Cao''s army? "


    Zhou Yu stood up, looked around the generals, and said in a loud voice, "you are all powerful generals. I have no doubt about your courage. However, military affairs can not be solved by courage and blood."


    "Tens of thousands of troops of Cao Cao came to the East. If our army had a decisive battle with Xia Houyuan, the remaining soldiers would not be the opponents of Cao''s army. Do you want to be brave men?"


    Zhou Yu poured cold water on the generals, but Sun Quan couldn''t help saying, "what can we do with our army? Can''t we wait for Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan to join forces? Isn''t that more difficult? "


    Zhou Yu went to Sun Quan and whispered a few words to him. At first, Sun Quan''s face changed greatly, but Zhou Yu still said a few words with him calmly. Sun Quan''s face was very complicated, and finally he nodded his head.


    "All right..."


    with a long sigh, Sun Quan looked around the generals and said slowly, "ladies and gentlemen, our army will withdraw from Wu County today and retreat to Kuaiji county."


    "What? Will our army retreat without fighting? "


    "What does that mean? Waiting for Cao Cao to join forces with Xia Houyuan


    "This..."


    "cough, cough!"


    A burst of coughing, Zhang Zhao, who was at the head of the minister, slowly stood up and bowed to Sun Quan."Dare to ask the Lord, but do you want to give up Wu County?"


    "Now our army only has Wu County, Danyang county and Kuaiji county. I''m afraid Danyang county will not be able to resist for a long time. As a result, our army has little territory left. Now the Lord wants to give up Wu County on his own initiative. Is this OK?"


    After listening to Zhang Zhao''s words, many Jiangdong officials nodded in succession. They had never seen such a war.


    Zhou Yu replied, "Zi Bu Gong, ladies and gentlemen, what can''t our army lose now?"


    He said with bright eyes: "Cao''s soldiers are numerous and powerful. If we want to fight hard, our army is definitely not an opponent. If we want to defend the city, our army does not know when to defend it."


    "Today, the only way to determine the world is through the first World War, which can not be fought in Wu County, but in Kuaiji county."


    When Leyi conquered Qi, there were only two cities left in more than 70 cities under the state of Qi, while Tiandan held fast for more than a year. However, Zhou Yu knew that the Jiangdong army could not do so, because the sun family''s foundation in Jiangdong was not stable, and the Jiangdong scholars were not willing to support Sun Quan, and they might turn to Cao Cao instead.


    When sun CE quickly settled down Jiangdong, he did not deal with the contradictions with many Jiangdong aristocrats. If the Jiangdong aristocrats turn against each other, the Jiangdong army will never continue.


    "Well, a has decided to go back to Kuaiji County!"


    Sun Quan made a final decision. Although the generals disagreed, they could not refute it.


    In the evening of that day, nearly 20000 Jiangdong troops escorted Sun Quan to withdraw from Wuxian county and all the way south to Kuaiji county.


    "What? The Jiangdong army gave up the city and retreated to the south? " Xia Hou yuan was surprised.


    "Yes, it seems that Jiangdong army may also know the news that the prime minister led the army to the East, so they were scared to retreat." Xia Hou Shang had a natural expression.


    "Not necessarily."


    Xia Hou yuan waved his hand and ordered: "send more sentries to make inquiries, and send another detachment to the city of Wu county to explore the enemy''s actual situation."
