Looking at the map in front of them, all the generals were extremely anxious:

"Former General, Lu'an City is small and I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on to it. We will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

Man Chong’s eyes flickered and he stared at the map, but he did not speak immediately.

If Lu'an City falls into the hands of Lu Xun, then the Wu captives can enter Shaopo Lake from Lu'an City and invade Shouchun.

 This is a complete replica of entering Chaohu from Ruxukou to attack Hefei.

 The only difference is that the Yangzhou defense line that the Wei Dynasty had worked so hard for so many years completely fell.

 At that time, most of Yangzhou will fall into the hands of Wu Lu.

 The door to the Central Plains is now wide open!

"We must rescue, but we cannot send reinforcements directly from Hefei. After all, who knows whether Sun Quan will really lead the army over from Ruxukou?"

 After thinking for a long time, Man Chong said slowly:

“The governor Wang is a brave general, so there is no need to worry about letting him guard Hefei to block Sun Quan. Shouchun City has gathered a lot of troops, and it is time to send reinforcements now.”

 Speaking of this, Man Chong paused for a long time before continuing:

"It's just that the reinforcements cannot go to Hefei. Since Lu Xun dared to attack Lu'an City, he couldn't be prepared for Hefei to send reinforcements."

When the subordinates heard this, they were even more anxious and puzzled:

"General, if you want to reinforce Liu'an City, the fastest way is to Hefei. If you don't go there and delay for too long, Liu'an City will be in danger!"

Man favored but unmoved:

"Although Liu'an is small, its walls are strong and the soldiers in the city are well-equipped. As long as the soldiers are united and wait for reinforcements, they can defend it for a long time."

"Although Lu Xun is good at using troops, Wu soldiers are not good at land warfare, let alone attacking cities, so there is no need to worry about Lujiang for the time being!"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with cold light, "Wu Lu is good at boat battles. Before he didn't come, he wanted to lure him. He abandoned his boat and came two hundred miles away. It's time to destroy him!"

"Immediately send out fast horses and say that I will personally lead the army to rescue, so that the Lujiang soldiers can defend the city with peace of mind."

After urgently reorganizing the troops and horses in Shouchun City, Manchong personally led the army westward against the Huai River. Then at the intersection of Jueshui and Huai River, he went south along Jueshui and circled to the west of Lujiang River.

At this time, the offensive and defensive battle in Lu'an City had reached a fever pitch.

The moat has long been filled in, and a layer of corpses has been laid under Lu'an City.

Lu Xun’s initial fears became reality.

Although Liu'an City is small, it is difficult to attack.

Now we have begun to send all the generals in the army to fight in person, but no one can still stand firm on the wall.

 The closest we got was that we were able to storm the city and then be driven back.

Lu Xun did not care about the situation below Lu'an City. His eyes turned more and more to the east.

 As long as there is enough time, Liu'an City can definitely be taken.

 But the east side in the direction of Hefei is really too quiet.

 It's so quiet that it's a little unnerving.

 After all, based on days, if the Wei thieves wanted to reinforce Lu'an, there would have been movement by now.

This somewhat abnormal situation made Lu Xun feel a little uneasy.

Lu Xun felt helpless when he remembered that His Majesty was still stationing troops in Ruxukou and had not entered Chao Lake at all.

Although it is said to be luring the enemy, the fighting situation in Liu'an City is so fierce. It would be better if someone could lead the troops into Chaohu, advance to Hefei, and put pressure on the Wei thieves.

While thinking, he loosened his down jacket a little warmly.



 Unusually calm, an opponent that cannot be underestimated, and the sensitivity of a perennial leader, Lu Xun's uneasiness turned into suspicion.

 “Comer.”

 “Come on to the great general.”

“I’m sending you the order to attack the city today and withdraw your troops in advance.”

 “No!”

When the siege of the city was in full swing, it suddenly slowed down, which was a good thing for the defenders, because they could seize the time to repair the city wall and give the tired soldiers some breathing space.

But for the Wu army who was eager to capture Liu'an City, it was like using more lives to fill the gap later.

“General, the thieves in the city seem to be exhausted. Why do they suddenly withdraw their troops?”

 “I’m afraid the thieves have some agenda.”

“Could it be that there’s something going on over there in Hefei?”

“It is precisely because there is no movement in Hefei that I am worried.”

 “Why worry, general?”

“How can I not worry if there is no trace of Man Chong in Hefei?”

Lu Xun sighed and looked at the scarred walls of Liu'an City, inexplicably reminded of the Battle of Xiaoguan the year before last.

I heard that after Feng Yong led his army out of Xiaoguan, he defeated several cities in succession, and after annexing Anding, he was able to turn around and win with a small number, defeating a large number of Cao Zhen.

 The Shu people have continuously expanded their territory over the years, and now they have opened the gate to Guanzhong and are advancing in full force.

On the Wu side, although Shiting had a great victory, it was still pinned down by Hefei in the south of the Yangtze River and could not break through.

Lu Xun felt depressed and anxious.

 How did Feng Yong manage to defeat several cities in a row?

“Is it possible that your Majesty has attracted the Wei thieves in Chaohu and made them afraid to divide their troops?”

Hearing this, Lu Xun twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at the general who said this.

 Others may believe this, but how could Lu Xun not know the truth?

 Ever since His Majesty was forced by Zhang Liao to "walk to the high tombs" and "jump horses to go to the Jin" in Xiaoyaojin, he really hates and is a little afraid of Hefei in his heart.

Those whom I hate, I don’t want to go to Hefei every day.

Those who are afraid of it will not dare to approach Hefei without an army of 100,000.

Now Ruxukou is just to lure the enemy. Where can we get a hundred thousand troops?

 That’s why Your Majesty stayed at Ruxukou and did not enter Chaohu Lake.

On the second day, Wu Jun finally arrived and brought Lu Xun the news he wanted most:

“Urgent report! General, there seems to be Wei troops in Anfeng County to the west!”

Before the spies could tell the details of the news, Lu Xun suddenly woke up:
Chapter completed!
