On the head of Runan City, Zhou Yu was calm and composed. Looking at the battle situation in the city, he was as calm as he commanded the world.

Guan Yu broke through several times, although he defeated Huang Gai and others, the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry, who lacked siege equipment, could not rush out of the city in front of the city gate specially reinforced by Zhou Yu.

The stairs that climbed the city tower were blocked tightly by Zhou Yu with various supplies, and then cooperated with strong bows and crossbows. Even though Guan Yu was very brave, he could not rush up to capture the thief and first to capture the king.

Many purple gold dragon knight soldiers have suffered casualties. Although some of them are fine, their war horses have been buried in the raging fire. The cavalry lost their war horses, and their combat effectiveness is naturally greatly reduced.

Seeing that the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry was about to be destroyed, Guan Yu, a powerful general who had been famous in the world for nearly 20 years, was also defeated by himself. Zhou Yu, a general who has always been elegant, couldn't help but show a bit of self-satisfaction.

He turned his head and said to Lu Su with a three-point teasing point: "Zi Jing thinks, what's the situation now?"

Lu Su said without hesitation: "In less than three hours, the fire can spread throughout the city at dawn. At that time, no matter how brave Guan Yu and others are, they will be buried in the sea of ​​fire. Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye's army led the army to resist for the lord himself, so it would be difficult to come in time. Now the battle situation is in the hands of our army, and we can be said to be sure to win."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and smiled and said, "No, Zijing's words are wrong."

"Oh? What's the solution?" Lu Su didn't understand why.

Zhou Yu patiently explained: "Now all the generals in the Luoyang army, Cheng Liang is dead, Guan Yu, Zhang Yong, and Zhu Ye are all here. Xu Huang and Liu Bei are still in Xuzhou, and Qianzhao is in charge of Yanzhou. These two must-pass routes to Yuzhou have ambushed soldiers I have. I wish they would find it difficult for them to come to help in a short period of time."

"In addition, Zhao Yun went to Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion of several small countries in the Western Regions that he did not want to surrender. Ye Xiang recently led the Shenji Camp to send troops into Shu."

Hearing this, Lu Su understood a little.

"Gongjin is worried that Gao Shun will come to the back soon and will be unable to resist our army?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes. Gao Shun is the best at siege. Even if our army annihilated the Zijin Dragon Cavalry here and temporarily blocked Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye, after Gao Shun arrived, he would inevitably fall into a tough battle. At that time, the enemy troops in Xuzhou and Yanzhou will also break through the ambush set up by us and rushed to help. Our army will still be difficult to defend the land of Yuzhou."

When Lu Su heard this, his brows frowned, but he soon stretched out again.

"Haha, since Gongjin had expected it, he had already had a way to deal with it. Don't keep it from hiding me."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Yu laughed loudly: "It's not just a secret, but just a clever thing that can't help you. Why not guess?"

"This..." Lu Su showed some difficulty, and then smiled and said, "Since Gongjin is interested in taking the school, Su might as well guess, but Gongjin doesn't want to laugh at me."

Then, he looked down and thought for a moment and seemed to have an idea.

"The trapped camp was a heavy armored cavalry, so the march was naturally much slower, and the food and grass needed was more than the Jindao camp. Gao Shun wanted to lead troops to capture Yuzhou, and his food and grass were only supplied with two routes. One was transported from Jizhou and arrived through Yanzhou. The other was from Sili area and went to Yingchuan here."

"If our army can cut off these two grain channels, Gaoshun's army will retreat without fighting. At that time, our army's morale will be greatly boosted, and many oppositions from the gentry in Jingzhou can also be suppressed. In this way, the lord can recruit tens of thousands of troops and more than one million grains within half a year, wait for the battle in Yuzhou, build fortresses and dig deep trenches. If so, our army will be able to stick to the land of Yuzhou."

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Yu was very happy: "While people say that Zijing is generous and virtuous, he is not good at military affairs. From my perspective, this is a big mistake."

Lu Su looked ashamed: "Gongjin was too proud, and Su could only think of this place. It was not easy for us to ambush two grain channels at the same time with our army's strength, and we were helpless."

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "I had expected that the food and grass of Gaoshun's army would be supplied from Luoyang. The food in Jizhou should be combined with Qingzhou to supply it to the Liu Bei army in Xuzhou. Xuzhou has been warned for years, and the wealthy lands such as Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Donghai have been repeatedly guided by Cao Mengde. Now Liu Bei is in charge of more than 100,000 troops, and the food and grass are very large, so it is impossible to support himself."

Lu Su was enlightened: "It's good, good, Gongjin's thoughts are indeed comprehensive. In this way, our army only needs to send a strong brigade to ambush Luoyang's food route, and then we will be free of worries. When the enemy army raises grain and grass again and transports it to this place, it will take two or three months to three months or six months to half a year to stabilize the hearts of the people in Yuzhou, and carry the gentry and build high cities. We can rest assured."

He suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Ah, yes, yes, it's no wonder that he never saw the veteran General Huang Hansheng in this battle. The veteran general was the best of the three armies and the art of shooting skills was second only to Lu Bu. If he ambushed the enemy's rations, carriages and supplies, it would be the most suitable."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Those who know me are Zi Jing, hahaha..."

There are three cities at the northwest corner of Runan County, at the intersection with Yingchuan County: Dingying, Zhaoling, and Xihua.

These three cities have not yet been affected by the war in the Eastern Wu army. The three county magistrates led the county soldiers to patrol the city gate day and night, and they even communicated with each other, ready to use the momentum of striking the horn to deal with the invading enemies.

Yesterday, Guan Yu led the Zijin Dragon Cavalry to pass through Dingying County and heading to the front line, which made the three county magistrates breathe a sigh of relief.

Just a few hours ago, a 800,000 stone of grain and supplies escorted by General Gao Shun had just passed through Zhaoling County and marched overnight, preparing to rush to Pingyu City.

When they learned that Gao Shun was leading the army less than a hundred miles behind, the three of them were completely relieved.

Regarding the matter, the second general of the senior high school work together and is invincible in the world. These three counties should be spared from the war. With this kind of persistence, I believe that my career will be promoted.

When it was dawn, a brigade of grain trucks and baggage teams were slowly moving forward on the flat official road more than 20 miles outside Zhaoling County.

The leader, whose surname is Hai Luo, looks like a twenty-six or seven years old, is quite brave and has been following Gao Shun for many years. He relies on military merits to be promoted to the post of a lieutenant. Now he is ordered to carry food and grass, and dare not neglect at all.

He yawned, rubbed his eyes, looked up from afar, and then called the guide.

"Where is ahead? How much road is there to Pingyu City?"

The guide hurriedly replied: "Report to the general, there is a river ahead, which is a tributary of the Ru River, called Qianxi. On the left side of this stream is the official road. The road is flat and about thirty miles to reach Pingyu. However, this road requires crossing the river, and the wooden bridge is narrow and disrepaired for a long time, so it is inconvenient to march. There is a small road on the right, so there is no need to cross the river. You only need to pass a piece of apricot forest and march for about 40 miles to reach Pingyu County."

Heluo frowned slightly and said, "The General ordered me to arrive at Pingyu City before tomorrow. If I want to cross the river, such a baggage team will be able to pass through this wooden bridge. Isn't it a waste of military orders? Isn't it a waste of military orders? I'll send me the order, before the Xinglin in front, take the water and rest for an hour, and then take a small road to Pingyu."

"Affect the order."

The apricot forest is only three or four miles away, and the grain convoy will soon arrive here. In spring, apricot flowers bloom, swaying in the rising sun, and the petals fly like snow. It is really a beautiful scenery.

"Haha, the general is a bit elegant. I chose to rest here, it is a good place to go."

A driver driving a donkey cart joked with a smile.

Hero smiled slightly: "I am a rude person, so I have no elegance, just for convenience."

He took out some dry food from a cloth bag on the horse's back, and as soon as he handed it to his mouth, he suddenly looked shaking and rolled to the side.

When the civilians and soldiers next to them were still unclear, they could only hear a "whisper" sound, and a sharp arrow shot on the shaft of the donkey cart.

"Ah...there are...there are enemies attacking..."

The villagers were shocked and hurriedly jumped out of the car and fled backward.

"Enemy attack, the whole army is on guard!" Hero shouted, and the three thousand guard soldiers took their weapons in a few breaths, lined up their formations, hid behind the cover, and looked ahead alertly.

In the apricot forest, a team of people slowly appeared in everyone's sight. The leader was a little gray-bearded, but he was in good spirits. He had a long bow in his hand. Obviously, the arrow just now was from his hands.

When Hero saw this person, his face changed slightly.

"Huang Zhong!"

"Haha..." Huang Zhong put away his longbow, held the phoenix-mouth knife, and smiled: "I didn't expect that I would recognize Huang, so that would be the best. If you can surrender and offer food and grass, Huang will not only spare you but also protect you from the lord. Otherwise, my phoenix-mouth knife will not save you from your life."

However, Heluo quickly recovered his calmness and said with some contempt: "Don't be rampant in the old thief. I think you are only seven or eight thousand people. Although there are ambushes, what are the fears of me trapping in the camp?"

Huang Zhong was not upset when he heard this: "Okay, okay, I heard for a long time that everyone in the Luoyang army is a hero. You, a little captain, have such courage, but Huang underestimated it. Well, killing you is not considered as insulting a certain family's sword. You should die..."

After saying that, he waved his sword forward, led the army to lead more than 7,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses behind him, and launched a charge.

At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded: "General Huang, wouldn't you ruin your wisdom by bullying the small like this? Your Majesty often mentions that the generals in Jiangdong are not worth worrying about. Only General Huang is loyal and has extraordinary martial arts. Zhang is just a minor scholar in Hebei. Today, he would like to ask the old general for advice."

At the same time as this sound, three feather arrows were shot at Huang Zhong's face one after another.
