    After Sun Ce was seriously injured and fell into coma, now Zhou Yu, as the governor, led the army and decisively fled Wancheng.

    When the opponent entered Wancheng and saw that the opponent was defeated, he immediately pursued him.

    However, they were blocked by the mechanisms set up by Zhou Yu. After breaking through, Zhou Yu had already run away.

    Liu Ke led the remaining soldiers and horses to guard outside the city. When he saw Zhou Yu's army escaping from the south gate, he immediately sent troops to pursue it.

    Together with Lu Bu, who struggled to get out of the city, they pursued him in two directions.

    However, at this moment, the roads around Wancheng have been soaked in water for a long time, and the roads are muddy.

    Horses cannot walk at all, and their speed is even slower than that of humans.

    Therefore, Liu Ke¡¯s pursuit speed cannot be increased at all.

    On the contrary, Zhou Yu¡¯s soldiers were basically locals from Jingzhou and had been accustomed to such an environment since childhood.

    Therefore, walking in the mud did not suffer much.

    ¡°Plus, this time they were just escaping for their lives, so how could they dare to be lazy?

    Therefore, Liu Ke¡¯s chasing army was never able to catch up with the opponent, and was even pulled away by Zhou Yu.

    However, Zhou Yu still dare not relax, because now that Sun Ce is comatose with a heavy reward, as the commander-in-chief of the army, every move he makes is related to the safety of everyone.

    Especially now, the most pressing question before him is how to escape?

    Although Nanyang is flat, Liu Ke has basically captured several big cities now.

    If we still go south along the Tuo River to return to Xiangyang, we will inevitably be blocked by enemy forces in Tuoyang, Xinye, and Chaoyang along the way.

    "If we add the pursuers behind us, we might be blocked along the road and the entire army will be wiped out."

    Therefore, after thinking hard, Zhou Yu decided to do the opposite and return to Xiangyang through another road.

    Although this road is a long detour, it will catch the enemy by surprise, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.

    Therefore, after marching for thirty miles and completely leaving the area affected by the flood, Zhou Yu immediately summoned the generals.

    "My generals, the situation is critical now and we have no choice but to retreat to Xiangyang. However, the enemy will definitely pursue us and intercept us, and will not let us go south easily.

    Therefore, in order to retreat safely, the governor planned to turn westward, reach Champion County, and then go south straight to Xiangyang.  "

    Zhou Yu¡¯s resourcefulness won the admiration of all the generals. Naturally, everyone said in unison: ¡°We all rely on the governor¡¯s arrangements!¡±

    Zhou Yu calmed down and began to make arrangements.

    "Although the army is heading west, the enemy is not stupid and will definitely notice it.

    So I need two generals to come forward and act as suspects to mislead the pursuers.  I wonder who is willing to do it?  "

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the blue, it is almost the same as Duan Hou. It is definitely a narrow escape.

    However, none of the generals in Jingzhou flinched, and they all took the initiative to volunteer.

    When Zhou Yu saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

    He then arranged: "In that case, this task will be carried out by the two generals Han Dang and Zu Mao!

    The two generals each led a thousand cavalry, and one group continued southward, with great fanfare, to harass the cities along the way.

    The other branch is galloping around at will, creating the illusion that our troops are still around.

    However, you must not engage in battle with the enemy, and you must return to Xiangyang to rendezvous after fifteen days!  "

    Then Zhou Yu no longer hesitated and immediately set off to the west, parting ways with Han Dang and Zu Mao.

    Sure enough, not long after Zhou Yu's army left, Lu Bu's pursuers arrived.

    He stayed here for a while to explore the direction of the other party's escape.

    Suddenly seeing thick smoke burning far to the south, Lu Bu was immediately attracted and chased after him.

    The thick smoke was naturally an illusion created by Han Dang, who immediately continued southward after completion.

    Going forward, I went to Puyang. Here is Liu Ke here, and the guard is Cheng Lian.

    This man was brave in battle and cautious. When he saw the smoke and dust billowing from the north, he immediately led his troops out of the city to deal with it.

    "Who is coming?"

    "I am Han Dangshi, a subordinate of the King of Xiangyang, and I have been ordered by the King to recover Juiyang.

    "If you know what's going on, you can surrender quickly and avoid death!"  "

    Cheng Lian was furious when he heard this and immediately rushed forward.  The two sides fought for a while, with no winner or loser.

    " However, Han Dang has a mission, so it is naturally impossible to actually attack the city.

    So, Han Dang returned to the formation, and before leaving, he said: "Huh! Since we are stubbornly resisting, we will wait until tomorrow for the Japanese generals to come with their troops."?Your life!  "

    After finishing speaking, Han Dang led his troops and left in a swaggering manner.

    Cheng Lian was at the rear, so naturally he didn't know the battle situation in Wancheng.

    He really thought that Sun Ce's large army had already arrived, so he did not dare to take the initiative to pursue them, and could only watch Han Dang leave.

    However, Cheng Lian was still uneasy. He was afraid that the other party would really raise an army to attack the city tomorrow.

    So he immediately wrote a letter asking for help in person, handed it to his confidants, and quickly sent it to Liu Ke¡¯s base camp.

    The messenger did not dare to delay and marched overnight.

    Unexpectedly, he was captured by Lu Bu's night patrol scouts just twenty miles out of the city.

    When the messenger saw that they were Lu Bu's troops, he quickly told him so.

    Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought that the enemy's move was probably a trick to suspect the enemy.

    First, they pretended to attack the city. The frightened defender had to stick to the city and did not dare to go out to pursue. Then he took the opportunity to retreat.

    Therefore, Lu Bu immediately chased towards Juoyang.

    In this way, Lu Bu made more mistakes and was led further and further away by Han Dang's suspicious soldiers.

    The other suspect soldier also performed well. Zu Mao appeared in the surrounding cities, causing his pursuers to run here and there.

    In this way, Zhou Yu could finally retreat safely. After several days of rapid march, he finally arrived at the Champion City.

    If you want to go south, you can only go through the turbulent water next to Champion County. Moreover, after several days of marching, people and horses are exhausted. The most important thing is that they are running out of food and grass.

    " Champion County used to be a grain storage place, so it could be replenished nearby.

    It¡¯s just that the champion county at this moment has already changed hands and is guarded by Liu Ke¡¯s subordinate Hou Cheng.

    When the other party saw the army coming, they didn't know whether they were friends or foes, so they quickly sent people to check.

    When the scout reported back, Hou Cheng was shocked.

    He never imagined that Jingzhou soldiers and horses would appear under his city.

    But not long after, Zhou Yu personally led the army.

    Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were arrayed under the city, and the momentum alone made Hou Cheng feel breathless.

    But he had some backbone and did not surrender on the spot.

    In this case, Zhou Yu did not hesitate and attacked without hesitation.

    After half a day of fighting, Champion County was defeated, which can be said to be very fast.

    The only flaw is that when the city was broken, Hou Cheng also took advantage of the chaos to leave the city and join Liu Ke.

    After learning about it, the soldiers were worried that he had revealed their location, and immediately volunteered to hunt down Hou Cheng.

    However, Zhou Yu was not too anxious after learning about it.

    He advised in a calm tone: "Generals, don't be impatient. Although Hou Cheng escaped, it is not in the way.

    The champion is a hundred miles away from Wancheng, and the opponent will not be able to arrive until tomorrow at least.

    Then when Liu Ke got the news and led his troops to pursue him again, our army was already close to Xiangyang.  Are you still afraid of him?  "(Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
