Chapter 630 The News From the Humble Position...

Chaohu.

The place where Zhou Yu's suspected soldiers arrived.

Also known as Nanchao Lake and Juchao Lake, it is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Surrounded by Hefei, Chaohu Lake, Feidong, Feixi, and Lujiang River, it is hundreds of miles long from east to west and more than fifty miles wide from north to south. It has a very large area.

Chaohu Hunan can cut off the Yangtze River, and North Controls Hefei, the "right throat of the Huaihe River", forms a corner with the Dabie Mountains on the left, and threatens the ancient capital Nanjing, which is now Jianye, on the right.

The military status has always been "a place where everything in the world must be contested."

Cao Wei's heroic journey was invincible in the north, but he couldn't cross the river from Hefei because of Chaohu Lake.

Because Chaohu Lake is connected to the Yangtze River, if you cross the river from Hefei, the most elite navy in the world of Soochow can pass through Chaohu Lake and threaten Cao Wei's back.

Therefore, because of Chaohu, Cao Wei is always on the defensive in Hefei.

Of course, because of the existence of Hefei City, Soochow was unable to use Chaohu Lake and attacked Hefei six times before and after, but it was still unable to get close to the Central Plains.

Yuan Tan took it very seriously when he learned that Zhou Yu's army was running to Chaohu Lake.

Ten miles east of Chaohu Lake, there is a camp of the Shence Army.

The big account of the Chinese army.

At the same time, it was very smoky and sweet, causing people to keep breathing vigorously.

Old Jiaxu imitated Yuan Tan's appearance, first cut off the small stick in his hand, and tidied it up. Then he took out the oil lamp next to him and leaned over to suck it.

I spit out a mouthful of light mist, and felt a little overwhelmed, "Ahhhh..., this cigar is really a good thing. I felt dizzy at the beginning, but after a while, I feel refreshed."

Ever since, Yuan Tan took Jia Xu and Guo Jia, the old and young military advisers, to blow clouds and mist, and Xu Chu and others looked at him with greedy eyes.

The small circulation of the cigar does not enter the lungs, and world-class athletes who are strict with themselves often take two sips.

Yuan Tan flicked the cigarette ash, "Zhou Yu is really cunning and bold."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia also learned how to play.

At this time, Zhao Daniu ran in, "My lord, news came back from the scouts ahead. At this place on the east bank of Chaohu Lake, we found the Soochow Alliance Camp hidden on the shore." After speaking, he ran to the map, picked up a pen, and drew carefully. made a circle.

Yuan Tan wasn't bored smoking a cigar here, but was waiting for news.

Hearing this, he immediately extinguished the cigar, "Give me an order, the army will come out, follow me to find out."

...

Two hours later.

By the side of Chaohu Lake, the military camps of Soochow can already be seen, and the military camps of 100,000 people are endless.

However, Jia Xu and Guo Jia already had a bad feeling.

The same is true for Yuan Tan.

Along the way, facing one hundred thousand enemy troops, one must be cautious.

Yuan Tan also sent out a search team of thousands of people to avoid ambushes in places he could not take care of.

However, the strange thing is that he didn't meet a single enemy.

There is an army of 100,000 on the opposite side, and there is no movement at all, which is unbelievable.

Just when he was considering whether to move on, there was finally movement in the Soochow camp.

On the contrary, Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

Shaoqing.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led their troops out to meet them and stood in front of the battle.

"Hehehehe..."

The smiles of the two made Yuan Tan feel creepy.

"What are you laughing at?" Can't help asking.

"Hehehehe..."

The two looked at each other.

Zhou Yu smiled and said coldly: "I believe that with the cunning of the eldest son, we will be able to receive information from the people soon."

The voice just fell.

Information is coming from everywhere.

"Eldest son, the camp where I went to the humble position only came out with a dozen people, so it was empty..." said a horse inspector officer.

The rest of the news is the same.

Sun Ce rode out at this moment, with a relaxed expression on his face, "My lord, Gong Jinsheng is afraid that you will see through this suspicious strategy, so he and I personally lead this ten thousand suspicious soldiers. Everything about your lord has long been in our calculations. , Calculating the time, Hefei has already entered the hands of our army."

Yuan Tan's side was in an uproar when they heard the words. Although the soldiers didn't make a sound, their eyes widened.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and they fell for it.

This Zhou Yu really cannot be underestimated.

Yuan Tan was extremely surprised, the bad feeling in his heart made him a little weak.

However, in the end, I am used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and if I can let others fall into the trap, I have to accept that one day I will fall into the trap too.

Now was not the time to hesitate, and the big gun in his hand was immediately raised.

Unexpectedly, the order for the whole army to charge has not yet been issued.

Zhou Yu immediately raised his hand as a signal, and said disdainfully: "Young Master, there is no need to mobilize the army, we will leave now, goodbye."

"My lord, the green mountains will not change and the green waters will flow forever. I believe that although you are hurting your muscles and bones this time, we still have a day to meet. Let me say goodbye!" Sun Ce clasped his fists, showing thoughtful etiquette.

This kind of behavior was too sudden, while Yuan Tan and the others were still in a daze.

The sound of Mingjin sounded in the Soochow Army.

The Soochow soldiers disappeared extremely quickly, that is, they retreated a bit, and when they stretched their waists, they disappeared into the reeds.

In a daze, Yuan Tan didn't give Yuan Tan any chance to vent his anger.

...

An hour later.

Yuan Tan squatted on a relatively dry and hard ground beside Chaohu Lake, staring at the rippling lake surface in a daze, obviously preoccupied.

As Sun Ce took the initiative to retreat, he naturally sent troops to pursue him immediately.

However, Zhou Yu's 100,000-strong camp was not empty, it was full of traps.

This greatly hindered Yuan Tan's pursuit.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were therefore able to retreat unharmed.

When Yuan Tan chased to the water's edge, he only saw the last Soochow soldier disappearing into the water.

Zhou Yu specially selected soldiers with good water skills this time, and retreated into Chaohu Lake, where they were all preserved.

They were driven into the water by Yuan Tan, and escaped in a very difficult and embarrassing manner.

But the heart is warm.

Compared with capturing Hefei, this is nothing.

The gains and losses of Hefei, for Yuan Tan, are related to the general trend of the whole world.

With the existence of Hefei City and the Chaohu Lake connected to the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong navy cannot really threaten the Central Plains.

Without Hefei, things would be quite serious.

For the Yuan family, because of the existence of Chaohu Lake, a defense line of thousands of miles around Chaohu Lake had to be defended.

As a result, Soochow has almost doubled its power when the country was founded in history.

Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou will all be threatened by Soochow, and the entire Central Plains region seems to have been bitten into an apple.

Yuan Tan knew that it would be even more difficult to get it back.

"Young Master has been squatting there for an hour, shouldn't you be reminded to move your body?" Dian Wei said.

"Go." Xu Chu said directly.

"I won't go." Dian Wei was also straightforward.

"Young Master, Hefei's messenger!" Er Gouzi's voice came from a distance.

Yuan Tan stood up, his body shaking for a while.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu rushed over to help him.

Yuan Tan just moved around casually, pushed the two away, and took the initiative to greet them.

"My lord, the Eastern Wu army has 100,000 troops and is attacking Hefei!"

Yuan Tan's face turned pale, sure enough Zhou Yu didn't lie to him, "How about victory or defeat?" He asked with difficulty.

"The villain doesn't know yet."

Yuan Tan was even more preoccupied. He looked at the sky that was about to dusk, but said: "Immediately send an order, and the three armies will immediately return to Hefei City overnight!"

Looking back at Chaohu Lake again, the sparkling lake water seems to be floating with the invincible water army of Soochow.

...

vertical sun.

The sun rose from the horizon, shining on the Shence Army who was marching in a hurry.

All the soldiers in the army looked depressed and tired. Rumors have already spread that Hefei will be defeated, and it is too late to rescue.

Zhang Liao, the deputy commander, and Gao Shun, the deputy commander, are uncertain.

At this time, a rider arrived with a small flag of Shence Mansion on his back.

"Who is coming, but the messenger from Hefei?"

Guo Jia immediately rushed out from the front army.

"My lord, who are you? This villain is Hefei's messenger." The little principal said excitedly.

Guo Jia was also very excited, he was waiting here just for the news.

Morale is low now, so we must control the small school's words and deeds in advance.

Guo Jia immediately said: "I am Guo Jia, did you bring the news of Hefei's defeat?"

"..." The principal became even more excited, "It turns out that you are Master Guo, and the news from your humble position is completely different from what you said."
