At the head of Kaiyang City, yelaixiang and xizhicai stood on the top of the city, watching the second group of 10000 elite soldiers marching towards the south of Jiqiu. They were silent.

After a long time, Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, the troops are gradually in place, the 1000 crossbows of the eastern army have been distributed, and the crossbow soldiers have been selected from all the troops."

"Well, how long will it take?"

"General Xu said that it will take two months at the fastest. If time permits, it's better to give him another half a year."

Nocturnal fragrance burst of wry smile: "half a year, where come half a year?" Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the direction of the army leaving the city: "tell Xu Sheng that he doesn't have to ask. These 1000 crossbow soldiers can only be used as surprise soldiers at that time. What's more, military division, all the troops are getting ready, right

"Don't worry, my Lord. Everything is going on according to our agreed plan."

"Well, I hope we can get as many benefits as possible this time. This is our only chance!"

In Jiangdong, Jianye city and Wu Cheng Marquis's residence, sun CE is also discussing with Zhou Yu about sending troops. Since Zhou Yu took refuge with him, sun CE's situation is much better than before. First, he captured several cities in the north of Wu County, then he captured Guangling, and then he controlled more than half of Jiujiang county.

Today's sun CE army is no longer the vagrant army that borrowed troops to settle in the east of the Yangtze River. Nearly four counties, dozens of cities and more than a million people have emboldened sun CE. However, in the first World War of Huainan, sun CE failed to take back the jade seal that belongs to his family. Therefore, after hearing Huangfu Chaobo's proposal to jointly attack Cao Cao, sun CE agreed without hesitation It's too late.

Cao Cao has a strong army now, which is not what his sun CE can shake. If Huangfu Chaobo comes out, it would be the best. As soon as the eastern expedition troops are dispatched, the Yuzhou army will certainly send troops. Although we are not ashamed of the weak win of the Yuzhou soldiers, after all, Yuzhou has a vast territory, many people and sufficient troops. It's better to use them to attract Cao Cao's attention.

Now that the new year is over, sun CE can't wait to recruit Zhou Yu to discuss sending troops.

He had already begun to prepare to send troops, but he didn't know why. There was no news from the East army. So sun CE had to follow his impulse to send troops, and first asked Zhou Yu to discuss the issue of sending troops.

After nearly half a day's discussion, the two men basically decided on the strategy of sending troops. First of all, they had to send troops to the East army first, that is, only after the East army and Cao Cao's army had started a war would sun CE's army send troops. Moreover, Zhou Yu's idea was to divide the army into two routes: one was from Guangling, and the army pointed to the East China Sea; the other was from Jiujiang, where Cao Cao's army in Jiujiang was annihilated first, and then he crossed Hebei to attack xiapi.

After the two reached an agreement, they began to recruit officers and generals for discussion, and then decided on the dispatch of troops, followed by the mobilization of troops and supplies.

The flood season of Dajiang is different from that of Dahe, which is mainly concentrated in July and August every year, and there is no ice in winter. Therefore, in addition to the danger of sailing in the flood season, Zhou Yu can sail all the year round, so he almost spent the whole winter in the water army to train the water army. Moreover, since he occupied Shouchun last year, Jiangdong's material personnel have been transported to Jiangbei in an endless stream.

Every day, the movements of the princes in the world are collected by shadow guards distributed everywhere, and then sent to Luoyang with pigeon letters. Shi a arranges people to sort them out, and then gives them to Guo Jia, who is in charge of intelligence, for analysis. Finally, the final results are handed over to Huangfu Chaobo.

The movements of Cao Cao Jun, sun CE Jun and Langya Jun were all expected by everyone, but Cao Charlie, the Taishan prefect, made an action that surprised everyone. On the night of the second day of the lunar new year, Cao Charlie ordered Xu Zhu to lead the 5000 Huwei camp and Cao Anmin's 5000 Qingzhou soldiers to set out overnight.

Three days later, ten thousand Cao troops appeared outside the city of Mu County, and then launched an attack on Mu county. Zang BA was defeated by ten thousand Cao troops. In the end, there were less than two thousand Taishan soldiers and more than one thousand personal guards in ten thousand garrison. They fled from Mu County to Laiwu County, the last city of Zang Ba army.

At this time, Laiwu county was also in the middle of war. Under the constant division of Cao Charlie and yelaixiang, only mu county and Laiwu were left in the Taishan County of Zang ba. The troops were no more than 10000, including five thousand Taishan bandits, Zang BA's younger brother, Zang Quan, and Zang BA's eldest son AI's two thousand, Yin Li's three thousand, and sun kangsun Guan's three thousand.

Since he retreated to the two cities, Zang Ba ordered his younger brother and son to lead 5000 troops to Laiwu, while he personally led 5000 elite soldiers and 6000 troops in the hands of the rest, with a total of 11000 troops stationed in Mu county. However, he did not expect that Cao Charlie would once again use the winter snow as a cover to raid Mu county.

Caught off guard, Zang BA's army was attacked by Qingzhou soldiers in less than two hours. If it wasn't for Zang BA's Taishan soldiers, they were also special arms, and their abilities were relatively strong in all aspects. The home battle was as good as Qingzhou soldiers. Finally, Zang Ba led Yin Li and the sun brothers to break through under the attack of more than 3000 disabled soldiers. However, a few people also suffered heavy losses. The elite Taishan army that Zang Ba relied on to settle down almost did not exist in the first World War, and only 1672 of the 5000 soldiers finally escaped. The six thousand troops of yin and sun left only a few thousand bodyguards to survive.Zang Ba led 3000 disabled soldiers to Laiwu in a hurry. In his opinion, Cao Cao's army would either not send troops. Once it sent troops, it would definitely be to wipe out Zang ba. Now Mu county has been lost. If Laiwu can't keep it, his Zang Ba will be a lost dog.

It's a pity that God seems to be against him. When Zang Ba led 3000 disabled soldiers to the southwest of Laiwu City, he met with hundreds of soldiers and family members of Zang Quan Zang AI, who was defeated and broke through from the county. When he got the news of the loss of the county seat, Zang Ba felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, which made him numb and unresponsive for a long time.

After a long time, Zang Ba Cai woke up from the shock and was worthy of being a decisive general. After a quick analysis of the situation of our enemy forces, Zang Ba led more than 3000 disabled soldiers to guard hundreds of family members, bypassed Laiwu county and headed for the southeast direction of Qingzhou Beihai state. With a great familiarity with Taishan County, Zang Ba and his party soon disappeared in the vast mountains.
