Before, it was because the coalition forces could move quickly on the water, and their siege coalition forces could also intervene.

But now that the coalition forces are surrounded, they will be able to drive straight in.

After following Pang Tong's advice, Cao Cha immediately let the army open the city.

They were on the north bank and did not need to cross the river. At this time, he ordered people to pass the news to the advance troops quickly.

This 4-strong army was sent by him long ago to support it, and now it has reached the south bank. It will take Xianning from the south bank, and then go north to Wuchang.

They attacked Shiyang from the north bank and then went to Xiakou, and another army went north from Wuchang to Xiakou.

The two armies acted separately, and after taking Xiakou completely, the two armies converged and took Xiling directly.

Winning Xiling can turn defeat into victory, which can be said to be a plan to turn the tide!

……

But one day.

The army going to support Cheng Yu was stopped by people sent by Cao Cao.

The commander-in-chief of this 4-strong army was a tall man who looked like a general, but he was clearly a Confucian scholar in his Confucian robes.

The messenger got off his horse and knelt down and said, "General Kuai, the Prime Minister has orders!"

This person was Kuai Yue who surrendered to Cao Cao with Liu Cong after Liu Biao died of illness. This person was not only good at stratagem, but also quite famous in Jingzhou.

After Cao Cao took Jingzhou, he heard that Kuaiyue had taken refuge in him, and even happily wrote to Xun Yu, saying: "I am not happy for getting Jingzhou, but for getting Yidu."

This sentence proves that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Kuai Yue, even comparable to the entire Jingzhou.

Since he took refuge in Cao Cao, Cao Cao also treated Kuai Yue with courtesy.

He took the letter and read it carefully, revealing the original expression.

"The Prime Minister actually wanted to surprise Xiling. That's right. Those rebels have already hidden in the dense forest. Even if I go, it will be difficult to deal with them."

At this time, there are several people around Kuai Yue.

They are Kuai Liang, Wen Pin and Lu Jie.

Kuai Liang is the elder brother of Kuai Yue, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to Kuai Yue.

He also read the letter and said, "The prime minister's plan is very ingenious. At this moment, Xiling City is completely unprepared. Let's go fight and take it easily!"

"This is a great achievement!"

Fang Wenpin's British capital is flourishing, his body is like a tiger, and his eyes are fierce and breathtaking.

He said: "Sun Wu also has countless capable ministers, so don't be careless. If the prime minister's plan is broken, someone will be the first to kill him."

After Wenpin accepted Zhao'an, he also received the courtesy of Cao Cao, so Cao Cha was kind to him.

Lu Jie is eight feet tall and looks equally powerful, but he is like a little chicken in front of Wen Pin.

Lu Jie is often referred to as Lu Gong, when he was Huang Zu's subordinate, Sun Jian was shot to death by him!

He said: "Don't worry, in order to avenge General Huang, I will definitely push Jiang Xia to the level and cut off Sun Quan's head!"

Kuai Yue ordered: "You also need to inform Cheng Tinghou about this matter, and just send someone there!"

The 4-strong army immediately turned around and headed east!

……

Chapter 65 Burning Sand Xian

sand envy.

Cheng Yu also had to admit that he was getting old.

Especially in this battle, he failed to analyze many aspects, which led to the defeat of the entire battle.

He is now sixty-seven, shivering a little in the cold wind.

"Sir, let's go back to the military tent and rest!"

Le Jin just walked out of the tent.

The cold wind came slowly, even he felt a little cold.

After all, this is the riverside. Under the influence of humidity, the body temperature is lower than the actual temperature.

Seeing Cheng Yu stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"It's freezing cold, sir, you have to pay attention to your health!"

Of course Cheng Yu was also shivering from the cold, but he felt that his thoughts would be clearer this way.

His lips trembled, and Shentai said weakly: "The defeat of the army is all up to me!"

Le Jin sighed: "If something bad happens to you, we won't be able to explain it to the prime minister."

"Don't worry about me, let me calm down for a while!"

The older a person gets, the more stubborn he becomes, Cheng Yu is like this.

In this case, Le Jin had no choice but to order someone to watch Cheng Yu.

The other soldiers just looked at each other after seeing it, and they could all see the helplessness on each other's faces.

In the army tent, Xun You held a bowl of ginger soup and swallowed the hot soup whole. He said, "Tomorrow is the third day. The coalition forces have fully recovered. We have to be careful before they break through!"

The current situation is different from the previous one. If Sun and Liu Lianjun really choose to break through, they will not be able to stop them by relying on the Jingzhou navy.

Zhang Liao rested his hand on the hilt of the knife, and said, "Actually, Marquis Ting, don't worry."

"The coalition forces have suffered heavy losses now. If they launch a charge, it is unacceptable for them to die thousands of people."

Judging from the current situation, the coalition forces should have won a big victory.

But if there is a conflict with their Jingzhou navy and there are casualties, the situation of this great victory may be reversed.

Still the same problem, the number of coalition forces is too small!They can't afford to lose.

So Zhang Liao felt that the coalition forces might intend to hold on.

"There is this problem, but we can be more prepared, and we can't take it lightly."

"Zhuge Kongming and Zhou Gongjin are both cunning soldiers, and no one can understand their thoughts." Xu Huang said.

He reminded everyone that although the coalition forces can't afford to lose, why can't they?

Originally a good hand, it was broken by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu like this!Tens of thousands of troops died, and their faces were ugly.

And it's not easy to explain this to Cao Cao!

If there is another accident...

Xun You thought for a while, and thought that they still couldn't be so passive!

If you stay passive, you can only get beaten!

"Continuing this confrontation is not an option. In my opinion, we can attack with fire!"

"fire?"

Everyone was taken aback.

At this time, Sha Xian is not what he will look like in later generations, but is still surrounded by green hills and countless hills.

Could this fire be a wildfire?

Zhang He agreed with Xun You's strategy very much, saying: "This strategy is good, don't they like to use fire to attack? Repay them in their own way."

They have been burned twice by the coalition forces!

More than 1 people were lost.

"This seems to be the current plan. They can burn tens of thousands of us, why can't we burn them?" Xu Chu said in a muffled voice.

Xun You thought about the feasibility of the plan, and then said: "If you want to burn it, you have to plan how to burn it. If you can't surround the coalition forces, the fire will be burned in vain."

"The two of us are fairly familiar with Sha Xian, and we can burn it from these places. If the coalition forces want to leave, these places must be passed through."

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were very familiar with the landforms on both sides of the river, so it was not difficult to discuss where to burn.

Cai Mao pointed out a few places, and then set fire to it.

"Well, let's start with these points!"

Xun You just made a decision.

……

In the sea of ​​sand envy, the [-] coalition forces did not cause any waves.

A shallow camp was built with only some simple fortifications.

That alone is enough.

They didn't want to defend Cao Jun. If Cao Jun dared to enter this forest, they felt that Cao Jun would be able to leave unforgettable memories for a lifetime.

In the camp, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu met as early as yesterday.

Zhuge Liang took a long circle to avoid Cao Jun.

After all, he was not in the three-way army at that time, but only brought a pair of hundred cavalry.

The generals of both sides were still tied with something at this time, even if their physical strength recovered, their physical injuries were far from being able to recover in just a few days.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu sat opposite each other.

"According to the report from the scouts, it seems that Cao Jun is planning to besiege us." Zhuge Liang said.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Shaxian is full of hills here. Although it is small, it has many advantages. The terrain is complicated. They can't completely surround us."

"They have no way to advance now. Of course, it is best to retreat! But if they continue here, can Cao Cao's military rations last?"

Gan Ning beside him couldn't help reminding Zhou Yu, "Sir, we don't have enough food!"

Zhou Yu spread his hands and said, "So now we will see who can last longer."

"I've already sent someone to Jiang Xia, and I won't be waiting for long!"

Zhou Yu is very confident that they have won this battle.

Here is close to the river, as long as the people from Jiangxia bring food and grass, they can stay here as long as they want!

At this time, several white smoke rose up, and it seemed that it was still gradually getting bigger.

Someone came to report and said: "Generals, Cao Jun is setting fire in the forest, and we are surrounded by fire!"

"what?"

Everyone stood up, opened the military tent and looked outside.

Sure enough, there are groups of smoke pillars in the sky, all around, like a circle enclosing them in the center.

Zhou Yu's face changed from cloudy to sunny, and he said, "What a fire plan!"

He has resorted to fire so many times, now it is his turn to bear the fire attack!

"What should we do?"

"This fire is coming. If we don't evacuate as soon as possible, we will be surrounded by fire and burn to death."

Cheng Pu said, "Sir, why don't we lead the army out!"

Zhou Yu shook his head, not agreeing with Cheng Pu's proposal, he said: "This is Cao Jun's plan, they must have prepared it long ago."

"If we rush out rashly, even if we can break through their siege, there will be heavy casualties."

So it cannot be confronted head-on.

"Aren't we stuck here then?"

"I don't want to be burned to death!"

Some people's faces were pale, and their confidence just now completely collapsed.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang, but saw that Zhuge Liang seemed to have a plan in mind, and he didn't panic at all, so he asked, "Mr. Kong Ming has a solution?"

Zhuge Liang nodded lightly and said: "When marching and fighting, we pay attention to the right time, place and people. We don't occupy the right place now, and the geographical advantage will be destroyed."

"Then we can only watch the weather!"
