    "Hahahahaha!! Okay! Okay!! Okay!!! What Yao Yi said is wonderful. He is indeed my most beloved general!!"

    As soon as Cao Cao said this, all the generals also came out one after another, cheering in all directions.  Cao Cao waved his hand, his eyes sparkling and eye-catching, and said in a deep voice.

    "At present, the three armies have finished resting and recuperating. The so-called military speed is so important that there can be no further delay. Send my order, all the generals prepare their subordinates and deploy them. They will set off immediately at the beginning of tonight. We must reach the gate of Nanchang within three days. Who dares to do it?  Those who delay will be killed #Þ™w."".

    When all the generals heard this, their faces were shocked and they all accepted the order.  Cao Cao then wrote another letter and sent people to Xuzhou to teach Jia Xu to prepare troops and horses in Hefei and garrison troops to wait!

    Cao Cao had finished allocating the troops, and all the generals went to prepare. They moved out of the stronghold that night. He also ordered Zhang Zha to take a third of the baggage and lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to set off first for the front army.  Cao Cao himself led 150,000 soldiers and horses as the center army, and then advanced. Xiahou Yuan led 50,000 soldiers, carrying the remaining baggage, weapons and other armaments, and advanced for the rear army.  Hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers followed the order and joined forces one after another. Flags were everywhere, the troops were neat and powerful, and they looked over the mountains and plains to see Nanchang City advancing.

    At the same time, it was said that Sun Quan was defeated and fled to Nanchang to recover the remnants. Later, he transferred troops and horses from Changsha, Linchuan and Luling, and also transferred 20,000 brave men from various cities and counties in Yuzhang. After the integration  , about 50,000 troops gathered.  In order to prevent the Wei army from crossing the Yangtze River, Zhang Zhao ordered a large number of men to deploy defenses in Nanchang City several months ago.  After months of hard work by nearly 70,000 to 80,000 people, Nanchang City's female walls were towering. All walls were reinforced. There were deep ditches and earthen ramparts outside the city, and the moat was three feet wide. It can be said that it was an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-defend city.  Attack the solid city.  Zhang Zhao personally supervised the situation and after the defense was completed, he once said that even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses attack Nanchang City today, it will definitely be possible to break through the city in less than half a year.  Nanchang City has a steep terrain and is surrounded by mountains, making it an important location.  If Wei soldiers cannot capture Nanchang, it will take at least several months to go deep through other routes.

    Therefore, Sun Quan expected that Cao Cao would march to Nanchang, so he stationed a heavy army to guard it. He wanted to take advantage of Nanchang's strength to slowly entangle the Wei soldiers, delaying the time until the Wei soldiers ran out of food and had to withdraw, and then launched a large-scale attack.  .

    The country was about to be destroyed. Although Sun Quan knew that Gan Ning and Ling Tong would die in battle, he endured his grief and anger and wanted to turn his grief into motivation. He led a group of heroes from Soochow to defeat the Wei invaders in Nanchang to avenge his great revenge!  Therefore, Sun Quan not only temporarily absolved Lu Su and Lu Xun of their faults, but also continued to entrust them with the important task of teaching them to perform meritorious service for their crimes!  Lu Su and Lu Xun were extremely grateful. All the generals were grateful for Sun Quan's kindness and worked together to dare to fight hundreds of thousands of Wei bandits to the death. They would fight to the death to protect their home and country!

    One day, Sun Quan was discussing with a group of civil and military officials in the county government hall how to resist the enemy.  Suddenly, scouts came to report that a group of Wei bandits were heading towards Nanchang City within a few dozen miles of Nanchang. The general who led the army was none other than Cao Cao's general, Zhang Junyi.  When Sun Quan heard that he was about to open his jaw, he couldn't help frowning and said in a solemn voice.

    "Zhang Junyi is not an ordinary person. Our army suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of this man in the past. Now that the Wei invaders have arrived, they must hope to set up camp early and stand firm. Do you have any advice?"

    The Wu generals opened their jaws upon hearing this, thinking that he was not only brave and difficult to deal with, but also highly strategic, so they did not dare to give advice rashly.  At this moment, a general stood up with emotion and shouted sternly.

    "The Wei invaders first arrived and traveled a long distance. The camp was not set up yet. It was a time of emptiness. The three armies also moved ahead without moving food and grass. Zhang Jiao was the front army, so he must have brought grain and grass. If our army can burn their food, the Wei invaders will surely  Morale is greatly reduced! How can we neglect this opportunity?¡±

    When everyone heard the words, they stared at him, it was Lu Meng.  Just listen to Lu Meng's voice like a loud bell, and his eyes are filled with rainbow light.  After hearing this, Sun Quan became emboldened and shouted with enthusiasm.

    "What Ziming said is absolutely true!! Our army has repeatedly fallen into the Wei bandit's tricks in the past, and now we are in need of a victory, which will anger the three armies!! What should we do if Ziming goes?"

    "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Zhang Junyi leads the troops, and the grain transport team is the other generals. I see that many of the young officers and soldiers under Wei Kou's command are young and energetic. Except for Jiang Boyue, they are all schemers.  . I can send scouts to find out who is protecting the food, and then we can plan for the funeral."

    Sun Quan heard that L¨¹ Meng was very steady, and what he said was reasonable. He was convinced, so he asked L¨¹ Meng to lead an army of three thousand horses out, and sent Zhu Ran and Quan Cong as deputy generals to go with him.  Lu Meng accepted the order and resigned, preparing to leave with Zhu Ran and Quan Cong.

    At noon, Lu Meng led his army to a hillside outside Nanchang City. Suddenly a scout came to report and said that the general of the grain transport team was a young major general. Looking at the flags in the army, he should be a general named "Cao".  Lu Meng's face darkened when he heard this. Based on the information he had obtained earlier, he quickly guessed that the major general was Cao Zhen.  Lu Meng was overjoyed, his mind was spinning, and he came up with a plan to do this with Zhu Ran and Quan Cong behind him.  The two generals' faces were shocked, and they took the order and left angrily.

    I don¡¯t know how long has passed, but the sky is getting darker??Dim.  However, he opened his jaws and led the troops forward. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing at the forest entrance in front. Where the wind and dust started, a young soldier was seen, leading more than a thousand soldiers and horses to block the way and roared sternly.

    "Zhu Yifeng is here!! Where is Zhang Junyi!? You dare to fight me!!?"

    Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and when he looked around, he saw a young man who was over twenty-five or six years old. He immediately laughed angrily, secretly thinking that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. A few years ago, Zhang Junyi was  Tens of thousands of Soochow soldiers and horses were killed until they were frightened and fled in panic!  !  Now he is being robbed by this fledgling young man!  As soon as the thought of opening his jaw fell, a general in the army roared angrily, and he was the first to ride out to meet him, shouting in his mouth.

    "You little boy, if you want to fight with my general, you must first ask me about the sword in my hand!!"

    I saw the Wei general with a sturdy figure, carrying a 16-foot sword, flying towards Zhu Ran on horseback.  Zhu Ran's face turned cold, he clamped his legs together and galloped away.  Between the lightning and flint, the two horses crossed each other, and General Wei struck with his sword. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ran was extremely agile, and he dodged past them with a single movement of his body.  Then he shouted loudly, the sound was like thunder, and a spear suddenly stabbed out, hitting the Wei general in the heart.  With a scream, Zhu Ran immediately attacked the Wei general and knocked him off his horse.  He opened his jaws furiously, slapped the horses, galloped out of the formation, and shouted angrily.

    "Shuzi, don't be so arrogant, Zhang Junyi is here!!"

    Zhang jaw picked up and rushed, which was amazing.  Zhu Ran twisted the gun to catch it, and the two fought for several rounds. Zhu Ran suddenly reined in his horse and ran away. His subordinates dispersed and fled backwards.  The Wei soldiers were overjoyed when they saw this, and were about to use their strength to cover up the killing.  After chasing for a while with his jaw open, he suddenly reined in the horse, raised his hand, and shouted sternly.

    ¡°Slow down!! Don¡¯t pursue without permission!!¡±

    Hearing this, a general under Zhang Zha¡¯s command came over on horseback and asked suspiciously.

    "Wu Gou is timid, why doesn't General take advantage of the situation and pursue him!?"

    "Hmph. Although Zhu Yifeng is young, he has good martial arts skills. He just fought with me for a few times, and then he pretended to be defeated and ran away. There must be some deception in this! We are new here, so we are not familiar with it.  The terrain, if we attack rashly, what will happen if we are ambushed?"

    He opened his jaw and let out a cold snort, his sharp eyes shining brightly. When the general heard the words, his face changed continuously. Only then did he realize the pros and cons, and he quickly praised respectfully.

    "The general is very wise, but I am not as good as him."

    He opened his jaw but ignored it, squinted his eyes, and pondered for a while, then his face suddenly changed and he spoke to the general anxiously.

    "There are many scheming people under Wu Thief, I'm afraid they will come to rob the food!! You hurry up and tell Cao Zhen to teach him to be careful!! After I organize the troops and horses, I will come immediately to take over!!"

    He opened his jaw and spoke harshly. The general was so frightened that he reined in his horse and left without hesitation.  Let's say that at the back of the army, there was a sudden cry of killing, and a group of men and horses came quickly. The leader was a general with a heavy back and a broad-mouthed sword in his hand. He was Quan Cong.  Quan Cong stared with his huge copper bell-sized eyes and shouted angrily.

    "Wei Kou suffers death!!"

    As soon as Quan Cong finished speaking, the rear army ration convoy was in chaos, and the soldiers rushed to attack.  At that time, Quan Cong had already rushed into the rebel army, rushing left and right, with the sword in his hand dancing tightly. The Wei soldiers were caught off guard and were killed and fell back.  When Cao Zhen saw this, his face was furious. He was so angry that he pulled his horse and shouted.

    "Wu Gou, don't be so presumptuous!! Cao Wenlie is here!!"

    Cao Zhen galloped his horse, drew his spear, and suddenly came to kill him.  Quan Cong greeted him enthusiastically, and the two clashed with each other with swords and guns, hacking and stabbing indiscriminately, killing each other violently.  Cao Zhen's eyes were cold, he twisted his spear and stabbed violently, his spear movements were extremely fast, and his Congdao movements were gradually chaotic.  Cao Zhen saw this with keen eyesight and quickly stepped up his offensive.  Quan Cong was defeated, so he cut off Cao Zhen's gun with his sword, reined in his horse and fled.

    "Hmph! Wu Gou didn't overestimate his ability and dared to rob my food and grass. This time I will teach you how to go back and die in the place of burial!!"

    When Cao Zhen saw Quan Cong wanting to run away, he would chase Quan Cong wherever he was willing to give up.  It turned out that Cao Zhen had seen Jiang Wei repeatedly making great achievements and being in the limelight, and he was not angry. He also relied on his bravery, so he didn't think too much at the moment, so he used his spear and led his troops to pursue him.  Quan Cong, wielding his sword, rushed around and yelled to retreat. The more than a thousand Wu soldiers and horses who came to attack them retreated one after another.  Cao Zhen led his troops in pursuit and pursued them closely.  And about half an hour after Cao Zhen left, the sky became dark.  The general sent by Zhang Zhi arrived and was about to report, but when he saw that the rear army ration team was in a mess and Cao Zhen's troops and horses were missing, his heart suddenly trembled and his expression changed drastically.

    At this moment, suddenly flashes of fire flashed on the east path, accompanied by bursts of shouts of killing.  I saw a group of men and horses coming at full speed with murderous intent.  Cao Zhen pursued Quan Cong and took away more than half of his troops. There were only a few thousand soldiers and horses around the grain convoy. When he saw Wu soldiers attacking again, he was frightened and panicked.  Under the fire, I don't know how many soldiers and horses came.  I saw a general galloping on horseback, with turbulent momentum, flying like a thunderbolt. The general with open jaws rushed to meet him. Before he even lifted the big knife in his hand, he heard a roar like a lion's roar, deafening, and then he feltA hurricane rushed towards him, his throat hurt, and he fell off his horse, looking at death.  The surrounding Wei soldiers saw this and hurriedly came to block him.  The Wu general was like a god of enemy killing, with a bronze lion-headed spear in his hand, picking, stabbing, chopping, sweeping and gouging, like a hundred flowers blooming, killing more than ten people in an instant.  Wei generals, who had several eye problems, immediately recognized the general's identity and shouted out Lu Meng's name in horror.

    At the same time, Wu soldiers rushed over in droves, waved torches and began to burn food.  When the Wei soldiers tried to stop him, L¨¹ Meng glared wildly, waving the spears in his hands wildly, and clashing with his horses. The Wei soldiers were timid. Although there were thousands of men and horses, no one dared to meet them, but they were killed by L¨¹ Meng single-handedly and retreated steadily. They were extremely panicked!
