PS: Chapter Anti-theft, Correction tomorrow morning……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

If the reinforcements of the Wu army arrived, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But the reinforcements of Wu will definitely come. Dongxing is a newly built fortress of Wu. When Dongxing is attacked, it is impossible for Wu to send reinforcements to rescue him. The only uncertainty is whether the reinforcements come early or late.

It was snowing heavily and the road was blocked. Zhuge Dan thought that it was not only the Wei army that was affected, but at least the reinforcements of the Wu Kingdom would also be greatly affected. It would definitely take several days later than the original plan to arrive in Dongxing.

In fact, Zhuge Dan was wrong. Although the Wu army was affected to a certain extent, it was not very affected, because the Wu army did not take the land but the water route. Heavy snowfalls and the most affected is the visibility of the river surface and will not affect the speed of the ships.

After receiving the news that the Wei army invaded Dongxing, Zhuge Ke immediately summoned the army and rushed to the Dongxing front.

It was not a matter of one or two days that Zhuge Ke wanted to send troops to the Northern Expedition. For this reason, he had carefully prepared the Northern Expedition strategy and had already raised the army. Originally, Zhuge Ke planned to launch an attack on the Wei State in a short period of time, but unexpectedly, the Wei army came forward one step ahead, which saved Zhuge Ke the time to summon the army.

Now Zhuge Ke urgently needs a victory to boost his reputation. Whether it is going to attack or defend, as long as he can win the battle.

When Sun Quan was alive, the most criticized thing was that he was a military force and constantly sent troops to provoke the Wei State, but he often returned in great defeat and rarely won.

Therefore, before sending troops, Zhuge Ke also had to consider it. If he did not achieve the ideal result, he would not only not be able to gain the reputation Zhuge Ke wanted, but would instead affect his current status. Therefore, the army had almost been assembled, but Zhuge Ke was still hesitating.

This Wei army's attack gave Zhuge Ke a reason to send troops no longer hesitated. They all attacked at the doorstep. Will it be reasonable if they don't send troops again?

We cannot hesitate to send troops this time, and we must be quick and decisive. We must rush to Dongxing before the fall of the second city of Dongxing.

The two cities of Dongxing have invested a lot of effort. From a strategic perspective, the two cities of Dongxing are related to the gains and losses of Jiangbei. Once Dongxing is lost, Ruxukou will definitely not be able to be protected. Once Ruxukou is broken by the Wei army, the Wei army can drink horses and Yangtze River, which directly threatens the safety of Jianye. The foundation of the entire Jiangdong will be shaken. Therefore, the major events related to the Jiangdong country are not only Zhuge Ke, but the entire Dongwu will be affected. This affects not the interests of one person and one family, but the interests of the entire Jiangdong class, and everyone will fight for it.

Therefore, the Wu army's rescue operation was very fast. In just four days, the 40,000 troops arrived directly to Xutang, which was far away from the Wei army.

The rapid action of the Wu army caught Zhuge Dan off guard. According to past experience, the Wu army's military operations have always been relatively slow. It is impossible to reach Huainan without ten days and half a month of transfer from Jianye.

And this time's speed is indeed unexpected. Logically, it is impossible to complete the army by mobilizing the army in three or four days. Unexpectedly, the Wu army's actions were so vigorous and vigorous this time, which completely disrupted Zhuge Dan's plan.

Zhuge Dan estimated that the time for the Wu army to reinforcements was about ten days. Under normal circumstances, it would be great that the Wu army could arrive in Dongxing in ten days. In Zhuge Dan's plan, he had to take down the second city of Dongxing within ten days.

But now the plan is completely in chaos. After the Wei army sent troops, it encountered wind and snow. The siege operation was repeatedly set. Dongxing, which was originally won in ten days, is now in a distant future.

What's even more difficult is that the reinforcements of the Wu army actually arrived in advance, which made Zhuge Dan wonder. In such a bad weather, it would be nice that the reinforcements of the Wu army would not be late, so how could they be in advance? Unless Zhuge Ke prepared the army in advance and made all preparations before the expedition, he could be so decisive.

However, how could this situation be possible? The Wei army's military operation has always been secretly announced. Although a plan to send troops was formulated six months ago, all preparations were carried out in secret, with the purpose of catching Wu off guard.

But according to the current situation, the Wu army was so well prepared that it was clear that the Wei army's plan to send troops had long been leaked, but how could this plan be leaked?

Zhuge Dan was puzzled.

Because of this military operation, only the senior officials of the Wei State knew the real details. All military mobilizations and food preparations were carried out under a secret situation. Few people knew about it and few people knew about it. Even on the Huainan front line, the generals under Zhuge Dan received the order the day before departure, and they had no idea in advance. Even if there were spies hidden in the Huainan army, it would not be possible to pass the news to Jiangdong so quickly, so that the Wu army would have prepared a long time ago.

Zhuge Dan couldn't think of this reason even if he wanted to break his head. However, even if he thought about the reason, it was not that important. After all, the reinforcements of the Wu army had arrived in Dongxing, and the Wei army had to readjust the tactical plan. The first thing he was to target was no longer how to break through the second city of Dongxing, but how to repel the reinforcements of the Wu army. Now the Wei army's top priority has changed from besieging the city to how to attack reinforcements.

What made Zhuge Dan feel a little relieved was that the reinforcements of the Wu army were not as many as he had imagined. He only sent 40,000 troops. Compared with the Wei army's 70,000 troops, the number of the Wu army was less than half. With such a force comparison, the Wei army had a clear advantage, and Zhuge Dan had no reason to be afraid of the Wu army.

Anyway, we will have to fight the Wu army sooner or later. Even if we don’t fight in Dongxing and fight under Jianye City, this battle will inevitably be avoided. It would be better to fight early that night. If we can deal with the main force of the Wu army in Dongxing, wouldn’t it be smooth sailing to attack Jianye next?

However, now the decisive battle with the Wu army seems to be a little unbeatable. The heavy snow in the sky affects not only the Wei army, but also the Wu army. It seems that fighting is impossible now. Only when the snow stops and the sky clears will the two sides be able to fight well.

Zhuge Dan was full of confidence in this battle. Now everything is ready. It’s just that snow is over. If you want to fight this battle, you can only look at God’s expression.
