Outside Wu County, 50,000 troops were gathered here, and in order to be able to conceal the Han army's scouts, they were stationed in ten military camps.

Among the marshals, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Lü Meng, Lu Xun, and the four were still discussing the details of sending troops.

This time the troops entered the Central Plains, for Jiangdong, it was a big event, and they almost used more than seventy percent of their troops. Fifty thousand were assembled here, 20,000 in Lujiang, and 10,000 in Shouchun, a total of 80,000 troops.

"Lord, Sanjiangkou He Qi 10,000 soldiers and horses, Yuzhang Lüfan 10,000 soldiers and horses, the last general feels that there are still a little less, it is better to keep another 10,000, we can lead 40,000 soldiers and horses!" Lu Xun said with some worry.

"Zhuge Jin has recruited 10,000 Shanyue soldiers and horses and is training, which should supplement the lack of troops in Sanjiangkou and Yuzhang. Moreover, now that we and the army of the King of Wei are pressing, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou do not dare to move, and they must reinforce Luoyang and Yuzhou at any time. Sun Quan seemed very confident this time.

"Lord, the King of Han has never used troops in an eclectic manner, Gan Ning is proficient in water warfare, and Jingzhou has an army of 50,000." Lu Meng was also a little worried.

"Ziming, Boyan, you don't have to worry!" Zhang Zhao smiled, "Jingzhou has an army of fifty thousand. But their army was only 20,000. Even if we all drive to Jiangdong, we have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and we are defending the city, and Gan Ning can't get a bargain. What's more, we and King Wei sent troops in five ways, would Gan Ning dare to start a war again?

After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, Lu Meng and Lu Xun thought about it and nodded.

At this moment, a scout hurried to the marshal's tent.

"Report King Wu, General, this is intelligence from the Central Plains!"

The scout handed the information to Sun Quan, and after Sun Quan read it, his brows furrowed.

"An army of 100,000, how can the Han army have so many troops?" Sun Quan handed the information to Lu Xun and Lü Meng.

After Lu Xun and Lu Meng read it, they handed it to Zhang Zhao.

When several people had finished watching, Lu Meng smiled and said to Sun Quan: "Don't worry, this is just a bluff of the Han army!" "

Bluff?"

"Lord Gong imagined that the battle of the Han king Liu Qiangmaling defeated the 100,000 iron horses of Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian king, and the Han army also suffered heavy losses. When Liu Wei withdrew to Luoyang from Beidi County, he took only 3,000 imperial troops with him. And the battle of Zhuge Liang and Li Yan Xiping City also paid a heavy price, and they withdrew to Luoyang at that time with only 10,000 soldiers and horses.

"Master, Ziming is right." Zhang Zhao took the words, "The Western Liang Corps of the Han Army Li Yan and Zhuge Liang only has 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and there are also some injuries among these soldiers and horses. This was followed by a major drought, followed by floods. Although the students of Luoyang Academy advertised that their people were not harmed. But this is not the case, after any natural disaster, this population is not greatly reduced! Moreover, it may also cause a plague, and his subordinates have heard that Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo of the Luoyang Medical Hall led their disciples to various villages at that time, and you can imagine how serious the situation is. In this case, how did the Han army replenish its troops? Where can there be an army of 100,000?

"Oh..." After Sun Quan heard Zhang Zhao's words, he let out a long sigh of relief and nodded.

"Lord Lord, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan's army is up to 10,000 people. And Liu Jun led his army to Hongnong, indicating that the King of Wei had already sent troops! It's time for us to act! Lu Meng's eyes showed great excitement.

"Okay, immediately pass on a letter to Tai Shi Ci Fei Ge of Lujiang, and let him lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to secretly march to Runan!"

"No!"

"Ziming, Boyan, your army can be promoted!" Sun Quan stood up, "After being alone, you will also chase the deer from the Central Plains!" Lü

Meng immediately gave an order, and Ding took Xu Sheng as the vanguard, leading 10,000 soldiers and horses to immediately advance towards Shouchun and Hefei. Lü Meng Luxun personally led an army of 30,000 as a Chinese army, with Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai as a general, and set out a day later. Lü Dai and Zhu Ran escorted grain and grass.

Although it was the beginning of an army of 50,000, it was a small road, and even many people in Jiangdong did not know it.

Lujiang, Tai Shici walked around the barracks, his heart was both excited and impatient. In the chaotic times, which martial general does not want to make meritorious achievements? What's more, Tai Shici is a top general like today.

However, his life was not satisfactory, first under the command of Kong Rong in Qingzhou, Kong Rong had no intention of fighting for hegemony. After casting Liu Yi, Liu Yi is also empty. After arriving under Sun Ce, Tai Shici felt that the opportunity had come, and the hero finally had a place to play. But who would have thought that Sun Ce was actually killed by several villains. After Sun Quan sat down to lead Jiangdong, he only wanted to keep his father's and brother's inheritance, and had no ambition to open up the territory, which made Tai Shici frustrated again.

Now that he finally waited for the opportunity, Lord King Wu was going to enter the Central Plains, how could he not be happy!

"General, King Wu Feige passed on the book!" A soldier ran into the marshal's tent.

"Present it quickly!"

"No!" The soldier presented the letter.

Tai Shici opened it, only glanced at it, and stood up excitedly.

"Zhou Shan, quickly order the soldiers and horses, and prepare to go!"

"No!" Zhou Shan was previously Zhou Yu's personal commander, and after Zhou Yu's death, he became Tai Shici's deputy general.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses had long been ready, because they were going to attack Runan, so Tai Shici had been carefully selected, all of them were young and strong, and they were veterans, and they brought enough food and grass for a month.

In less than half an hour, the army was up.

After reaching the bank of the Yangtze River, the ferry boats were already ready, and in order to make it hidden, they gathered fewer ferries, and waited until after dark to start crossing the river.

About three hours later, all the soldiers and horses crossed the Yangtze River. Tai Shici did not let the soldiers and horses rest, and took advantage of the night to go towards Runan.

Yecheng, King Wei's mansion.

Jia Xu took a few pieces of information and came to the study of Cao Cao, the king of Wei.

After Cao Cao read it, he put the information on the table.

"A hundred thousand troops to Yanzhou and Yuzhou?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, and then burst out laughing, "Ha... Liu Jun Xiao'er bluffed, where did Luoyang come from so many soldiers and horses!

"The lord guessed correctly, and his subordinates sent ghost pawns to further investigate, and found that the Western Liang Corps of the Han Army led by Li Yan and Zhuge Liang really only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but there were more than 30,000 war horses, so from a distance, it was huge!"

"Thirty thousand war horses?" Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard Jia Xu's words. Now that there is a shortage of war horses, how can Liu Jun have so many.

"Lord, the Zuoxian king Liu Leopard has 100,000 cavalry, the battle of Maling is a siege battle, although Liu Leopard used the method of filling the city with sand, but he did not use many war horses to rush, so let the Han army get cheap!"

"The Han army got cheap?" A greedy expression appeared on Cao Cao's face, "Since he sent his war horses to Yanzhou, then we will take them down!" Hah..."
