Sun Huan thought that Cao's army would attack Wuhu, but he did not expect that Jianye's army would arrive suddenly. It was less than twenty miles apart. He was really surprised. After a moment of contemplation, he immediately ordered: "I ordered the entire army to withdraw immediately from Wujun and withdraw immediately."

Sun Huan knew very well that Wuhu city was low and could not defend against the attack of 20,000 people. Once Zhou Tai cut off their retreat, they would not even have the chance to withdraw their troops.

Sun Huan was anxious and said to a personal soldier: "You should hurry to Likou Town immediately and tell General Zhong about the situation. The situation is critical. If the Han army is willing to enter Wu, you can evacuate with us."

The personal soldiers ran away, and Sun Huan also turned over and urged the horse to run into the county town.

The recapture of Wuhu was the first major decision made by Sun Quan after meeting with Cheng Yu. Since he wanted to cooperate with Cao's army to defend against Hefei, the Jiangdong army must have a strategic fulcrum, which is Wuhu on the other side of Ruxukou.

In fact, the occupation of Wu County's army by Sun Quan has always been a tragic problem for Sun Quan. Previously, because the Han army was stationed in Likou Town, Sun Quan did not dare to act rashly. This time, since he decided to form an alliance with the Cao army and jointly deal with the Han army, Sun Quan no longer had any worries and immediately ordered Zhou Tai, who was stationed in Danyang County, to lead a 20,000 army to attack Wuhu.

Although Sun Quan's order was to march secretly and wipe out Sun Huan's army, Zhou Tai did not strictly implement Sun Quan's order. He led the army to march slowly along the official road. In Yuhu County, about 40 miles away from Wuhu County, he was discovered by Wujun Investigators. The Investigators rushed to Wuhu to report the enemy's situation.

Although the Sun family turned against each other and divided Jiangdong into one another, Sun Quan wanted to capture Wujun overnight and kill Sun Yu and others, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army did not work hard. They generally hoped to unify Jiangdong in a peaceful way.

Last fall, Sun Quan led tens of thousands of troops to attack Wujun, but was widely opposed by the military. In the end, the plan to attack Wujun turned into a slight start and a slight start, and Cao Caocao retreated.

The same was true for Zhou Tai's attack on Wuhu this time. Wujun and Danyang County were in blood. He didn't want to see the Jiangdong people kill each other, so Zhou Tai rushed to alert the snake and let the Wuhu defenders evacuate themselves.

At the first update of the night, Zhou Tai led an army of 20,000 to Wuhu County. At this time, Sun Huan had already led his army to evacuate, and the Han army in Likou Town on the other side also retreated to Wujun. There was no more soldiers in Wuhu City.

When Zhou Tai led a large army to the north gate of the county town, the city gate was wide open, and the county magistrate Zhang Qi welcomed him. Zhang Qi was the younger brother of the Zhang Wen clan and an important brother of the Zhang family of the famous Wujun. He knelt down in front of Zhou Taima and begged: "Sun Huan's army has withdrawn from Wujun. The lower officials closed the treasury and appeased the people. Now the peace in Wuhu County is here. I hope General Zhou will protect the civilians and not harass the troops."

Zhou Tai quickly dismounted and helped Zhang Qi up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang doesn't have to worry. There are many Wuhu brothers in our army, so they will naturally not rush to disturb the people. It is really admirable that Zhang County Magistrate can close the treasury and protect the official grain. I don't know how much food there is in the official warehouse."

"About 20,000 stones."

Zhou Tai was overjoyed. The food was enough for his army to use, but he was a little surprised and said, "Didn't Sun Huan take away the food when he withdrew his troops?"

"General Sun's withdrawal was in a hurry and he had no time to move out the food. Some generals advised him to burn the food, but General Sun did not agree and ordered the subordinates to close the treasury and not allow civilians to loot."

Zhou Tai sighed in his heart that if the Han army was stationed in Wuhu, he would never leave so much food for himself. He looked at the other side of Lishui again, and Zhang Qi hurriedly said: "The Han army has also withdrawn, and the fleet and General Sun have retreated to Wujun. As far as Xiaguan knows, there are no garrisons in Likou Town."

Zhou Tai nodded and turned around and said, "Report to Mr. Wu immediately, we have successfully occupied Wuhu."

Ten days later, Sun Quan and Cao Cao officially joined the alliance in Wuhu County. Since a large number of consensus had been reached between Cheng Yu and Zhang Zhao, the meeting between Cao Cao and Sun Quan was very smooth. The two sides officially signed an alliance in Wuhu County. Sun Quan promised to send 50,000 troops to participate in the battle of Hefei between Cao and Liu.

Cao Cao also fulfilled his promise and, after signing the covenant, sent a fleet to deliver 100,000 stones of grain to Wuhu.

On the Wuhu Wharf, cargo ships loaded with grain slowly landed. The giant-like crane tower began to lift the grain bags on the cargo ship to the ashore. A crane was pulled by twenty cows, and ten soldiers were responsible for controlling the rotation of the crane and the advance and retreat of the cattle.

When the food landed, a team of ox carts transported the food back to the city. The dock was very lively and the convoy flowed through it.

At the welcoming pavilion, surrounded by more than a dozen generals, Sun Quan looked at the tower with his hands behind his back and lifted the food out of the ship. He felt really proud.

Sun Quan smiled and said to everyone behind him: "Last year in Jianye, Cao Cao promised us 100,000 stones of grain, but he relied on his own words. This time he took the initiative to deliver the grain to his door without us urging him. He was arrogant at first and humble at the end, which shows that he really needed our assistance."

Lu Meng next to him said worriedly: "Wu Hou, this actually shows that Cao Cao is not sure about the battle in Hefei. Is it wise for us to participate in this hasty?"

Sun Quan looked back at Lu Meng and smiled faintly, "I must understand that we are not fighting for Cao Cao, we are fighting for our own destiny. Once the Han army seizes Hefei, we will face a catastrophe. On the contrary, as long as we can defeat the Han army in the Hefei battle, the national tyrant will become a feud, at least in the southeast direction. As for the northern dispute, we just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. If we don't fight, we have to watch the tiger fight, but we can't sit on the mountain. We must take advantage of the war in the north to destroy Liu Bei, occupy Jiaozhou, and revive our Jiangdong country."

Everyone bowed and bowed together, "Lord, the Lord, the Lord, the Lord,"

Sun Quan smiled proudly. Although he was full of complacent, his rationality was not lost. He knew that he still had future troubles. If the Wujun problem was not solved in time, it would be the root of his defeat.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan said to everyone: "It takes time for the Han army to prepare for war, so we can take this opportunity to capture Wu County in one fell swoop and unify Jiangdong. Which general is willing to command the army to pacify Wu County?"

All the generals were silent, Sun Quan's face suddenly sank and said coldly: "If the Jiangdong Army refuses to send troops to Wujun, then I have to rely on the power of Cao's army. Cao Cao is willing to send troops to purge Wujun for me. Are you willing too?"

Sun Quan was threatening everyone. Once Cao Cao sent troops, Wujun might suffer the consequences. He was determined to unify Jiangdong before the Hefei War.

Everyone looked at each other. At this moment, the generals Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng stood up almost at the same time, bowed and bowed to each other and said, "I am willing to lead troops to pacify Wu County."

Sun Quan was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Xu Mu led 20,000 troops to the north line, and General Xiang led 15,000 navy troops to the east to the lake. In addition, I will order He Qi to send troops from the south to attack Wujun. Before the moon arrives, the army must capture Wuxian."

When Cao's army captured Ruxukou, the news of Wei and Wu's alliance was transmitted by Fei Ge's message, one stop at a time, and the fastest speed was sent to Chang'an and Liu Jing's table.

This news made Liu Jing feel very heavy. Cao's army took the initiative to attack Liyang, seized the mine ship, and occupied Ruxukou, opening up the connection between Hefei and the Yangtze River. Zhang Liao's military ability was fully displayed in this series of actions, but this was just beautiful tactics and did not affect the overall situation.

However, the alliance between Cao Cao and Sun Quan was a strategic change, which would affect the overall situation. Liu Jing walked back and forth in the official room with his hands behind his back and forth with great worries. He had to admit that Cao Cao's move was very clever and joined forces with Sun Quan to make the Han army face a situation of being attacked from both sides in the upcoming Battle of Hefei.

Not only that, the alliance between Wei and Wu will also make Jingzhou unstable, affecting the Han army's semi-encirclement strategic pattern of Wei. Once a squad is formed, Cao Cao will likely break the deadlock in the southeast direction, and Guanzhong will face the threat of Cao's army from Luoyang and Bingzhou.

At this time, Liu Jing also realized that he had made a big mistake. He should not support Wujun. It was his secret support for Wujun that made Sun Quan suspicious and distrust him, and the bond formed by the Sun and Liu families for a long time was broken.

It was also under this situation that Cao Cao's enlistment of Sun Quan was ultimately successful. As for the Han army that would continue to destroy Jiangdong after the Hefei War, it was actually just a far-immature idea that Liu Jing was far from being immature. After all, the root cause of the alliance between Wei and Wu was the support of the Han army for Wu County.

The question now is that Cao Cao and Sun Quan have formed an alliance. How should he deal with this situation? It is not only the upcoming Hefei war, but also the long-term impact in the future.

Liu Jing paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. The way he thought of was to increase his support for Wujun, so that Wujun would restrain Sun Quan's army in the Hefei War, so that Sun Quan would not dare to act rashly, thus eliminating the situation of the Han army being attacked from both sides. But can Wujun bear this important task? Liu Jing was really a little suspicious.

At this time, a guard reported at the door: "Report to Your Highness, Military Commander Jia urgently asked for a meeting."
