    Outside Wujun City, 50,000 troops gathered here. In order to hide from the scouts of the Han army, they were stationed in ten military camps.

    In the commander's tent, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun were still discussing the details of sending troops.

    This time the troops entered the Central Plains, which was a big event for Jiangdong. They almost used more than 70% of their troops.  There are 50,000 troops gathered here, 20,000 more in Lujiang, and 10,000 in Shouchun, for a total of 80,000 troops.

    "My lord, Sanjiangkou Heqi has 10,000 troops and Yuzhang Lu Fan has 10,000 troops. The general feels that it is still a little short. It is better to leave another 10,000 troops and we can lead 40,000 troops!" Lu Xun said with some worry.

    "Zhuge Jin has recruited 10,000 Shanyue soldiers and horses and is training. This should be able to supplement the lack of troops in Sanjiangkou and Yuzhang. Furthermore, now that we and the King of Wei's army are pressing on the border, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses do not dare to move. They will be ready at any time.  Reinforce Luoyang and Yuzhou." Sun Quan seemed very confident this time.

    "My lord, the King of Han has always been eclectic in his military use. Gan Ning is proficient in water warfare, and Jingzhou has an army of 50,000." Lu Meng was also a little worried.

    "Ziming, Boyan, you don't have to worry!" Zhang Zhao smiled, "Jingzhou has 50,000 troops. But their navy only has 20,000. Even if they all move to Jiangdong, we still have 30,000 troops, and  We are defending the city, and Gan Ning cannot get any advantage. What's more, we and the King of Wei are sending troops from five directions, does Gan Ning dare to start another war?"

    After listening to Zhang Zhao¡¯s words, Lu Meng and Lu Xun thought for a while and nodded.

    At this moment, a scout hurriedly came to the handsome tent.

    "Report to the King of Wu, General, this is information from the Central Plains!"

    The scout handed the information to Sun Quan. After reading it, Sun Quan frowned.

    "With an army of one hundred thousand, how come the Han army has so many troops?" Sun Quan handed the information to Lu Xun and Lu Meng.

    After Lu Xun and Lu Meng read it, they handed it to Zhang Zhao.

    After everyone had finished reading, Lu Meng smiled and said to Sun Quan: "My lord, don't worry, this is just a bluff by the Han army!"

    "Bluffing?"

    "My lord, just imagine that in the battle of Maling, King Liu Cong of Han Dynasty defeated the 100,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Liu Bao, and the Han army also suffered heavy losses. When Liu Cong withdrew from Beidi County to Luoyang, he only brought 3,000 imperial guards with him. And Zhuge Liang and  Li Yan also paid a heavy price in the Battle of Xiping City, and they only had 10,000 troops withdrawn to Luoyang at that time."

    "My lord, Ziming is right." Zhang Zhao took over the words, "Li Yan and Zhuge Liang's Xiliang regiment of the Han army only had 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and there were also some injuries among these soldiers and horses. Later, the Chinese  It was originally a severe drought, and then there were floods. Although the students of Luoyang Academy claimed that their people were not harmed, this is not the case. After any natural disaster, the population was greatly reduced! Moreover, it may also cause a plague.  , my subordinates had heard that Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo of the Luoyang Medical Clinic led their disciples to various villages at that time. One can imagine how serious the situation was. In this case, how could the Han army replenish its troops? Where?  Can there be an army of 100,000?"

    "Oh" After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

    "My lord, the maximum number of Zhuge Liang and Li Yan's troops is 10,000. And Liu Cong led his army to Hongnong, which means that the King of Wei has sent troops! We should take action too!" Lu Meng's eyes showed great excitement.

    "Okay, immediately send a message to Taishi Ci Feige of Lujiang, asking him to lead 10,000 troops to secretly march towards Runan!"

    "No!"

    "Ziming, Boyan, your army is ready to march!" Sun Quan stood up, "From now on, I will also fight in the Central Plains!"

    Lu Meng immediately issued an order, and Ding took Xu Sheng as the vanguard and led 10,000 soldiers and horses to immediately advance towards Shouchun and Hefei.  L¨¹ Meng and Lu Xun personally led an army of thirty thousand as the central army, with Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai as generals, and set off one day later.  Lu Dai and Zhu Ran escorted the grain and grass.

    Although there were 50,000 troops marching out, they all followed a narrow path, and even many people in Jiangdong didn't know it.

    In Lujiang, Taishi Ci was walking around the military camp, feeling both excited and impatient.  In troubled times, which military commander doesn't want to make contributions?  What's more, Taishi Ci is now the top general in the world.

    However, his life was not satisfactory. First, he served under Kong Rong of Qingzhou. Kong Rong had no intention of competing for hegemony.  Later, he voted for Liu Yao, but Liu Yao also had nothing to show for his appearance.  After arriving under Sun Ce, Taishi Ci felt that an opportunity had come and the hero finally had a place to use.  But who would have thought that Sun Ce would be harmed by a few villains.  After Sun Quan took control of Jiangdong, he only wanted to defend his father and brother's inheritance and had no ambition to expand the territory, which made Taishi Ci feel discouraged again.

    PresentFinally, the opportunity came. The Lord Wu King was going to march into the Central Plains. How could he not be happy?

    "General, a message from King Wu Fei Ge!" A soldier ran into the commander's tent.

    "Hurry up and bring it up!"

    "Promise!" The soldier handed over the letter.

    Tai Shici opened it, took one look at it, and then stood up excitedly.

    "Zhou Shan, quickly unite your troops and get ready to go!"

    "No!" Zhou Shan used to be Zhou Yu's personal commander. After Zhou Yu's death, he became Taishi Ci's deputy general.

    Ten thousand soldiers and horses have been prepared for a sneak attack on Runan, so Taishi Ci has carefully selected them. They are all young and strong, and they are veterans, and they have brought enough food and grass for a month.

    In less than half an hour, the army set off.

    After arriving at the bank of the Yangtze River, the ferries were already ready. In order to be concealed, they assembled fewer ferries and waited until dark before starting to cross the river.

    About three hours later, all the soldiers and horses crossed the Yangtze River.  Taishi Ci did not let his soldiers and horses rest, and took advantage of the night to head towards Runan.

    Yecheng, in the palace of the King of Wei.

    Jia Xu took several pieces of information and came to Wei King Cao Cao's study.

    After reading it, Cao Cao put the information on his desk.

    "A hundred thousand troops are heading to Yanzhou and Yuzhou?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, then laughed, "Ha Liu Cong's bluff, where did Luoyang get so many soldiers and horses!"

    "My Lord guessed it right. His subordinates sent ghost soldiers to conduct further investigation and found that the Xiliang Corps of the Han Army led by Li Yan and Zhuge Liang indeed only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but there were more than 30,000 war horses. Therefore, from a distance,  Go, make a big noise!"

    "Thirty thousand war horses?" Cao Cao was surprised when he heard Jia Xu's words.  There is a serious shortage of war horses now. How come Liu Cong has so many?

    "My lord, Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo, has 100,000 cavalry. The Battle of Maling is a siege battle. Although Liu Bao used the method of filling the city with sand, he did not use many horses to charge, so the Han army got an advantage!"

    "Did the Han army get an advantage?" Cao Cao had a greedy expression on his face, "Since he sent the horses to Yanzhou, we have to take them back! Ha" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel  .com
