In the Jiangdong military camp.

The atmosphere seemed a bit depressing, because the spies had just reported that Wenpin's army had arrived and had landed at the ferry north of Chaisang.

After Zhou Yu received the news, his heart suddenly sank. Since Wenpin really came, it meant that Lu Xun had really failed.

It actually failed!

Zhou Yu clenched her fists tightly, still unwilling to believe it, but the facts are here.

"Everyone, now that Lu Xun has failed, and the Wenpin army has also arrived at Chaisang, I wonder if you have any concerns about how to make the next decision? Zhou Yu glanced at everyone one by one and asked in a deep voice.

Everyone was silent for a while. The situation could not be more obvious now. It would be difficult for an army of 30,000 to attack Chaisang. Their original plan was that Lu Xun could Get rid of Liu Jue as soon as possible, and then go north to attack them from both inside and outside.

But Lu Xun has failed now, and he doesn’t know whether he is alive or dead. With their current strength of less than 30,000 troops, they may not be able to capture Chaisang.

Zhu Zhi was the first to speak:"Commander, now that Lu Xun has been defeated and Wenpin has arrived with a large army, the situation is very unfavorable to us. According to my opinion, it is better to retreat as soon as possible."

"What Jun Li said makes sense. The situation is not good for us now. If we don't retreat as soon as possible and spend time with them here, if they attack the hinterland of Jiangdong again, I'm afraid we will be unable to bear it."Dong Xi had a look of reluctance on his face.

"Commander, it’s time to retreat!" Taishi Ci also said in a deep voice.

It's not that Taishi Ci was afraid, but that Jiangdong had completely lost its advantage. Liu Jue's soldiers were not soft persimmons, and the weapons in their hands were very sharp. This kind of battle with no chance of winning would be difficult to fight again. Going forward will only increase casualties.

If you retreat to Nanchang as soon as possible, you can still preserve your strength. When the next opportunity comes, it will not be too late to raise troops again.

"You are right, it is time to retreat."Zhou Yu sighed, his face full of unwillingness. The good situation was ruined like this.

This time he raised troops to attack Chaisang, it was completely anticlimactic, and it also caused Moling to fall. Not only did he not get any benefits, but Jiangdong also suffered losses. A lot

"Send the order, move the camp ten miles back, and retreat tonight!"Now that he has made a decision, Zhou Yu becomes very decisive.

"tonight? Commander, is this a bit hasty?"Zhu Zhi couldn't help being surprised when he heard Zhou Yu's words.

"Wenpin has landed north of Chaisang. If we don't retreat tonight, it will be very difficult for us to leave when their army comes to attack tomorrow. What's more, the weapons in their hands are very sophisticated. The only way is to take advantage of the fact that they have no time to react today. Our best chance to retreat."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh. When Sun Ce was alive in the past, Jiangdong was so arrogant, but now it has suffered at the hands of Liu Jue again and again.

"Here!"Zhu Zhi and the other three responded silently after hearing the words. As the order was passed on, Jiangdong's army immediately retreated ten miles, and this news was soon known to Zhuge Liang.

"Yang Jiye, lead three thousand people to ambush here as I said. Zhuge

Liang first arranged a task for Yang Jiye, then looked at Huang Zhong and Wenpin, and said with a smile:"Two generals, which one of you is responsible for supporting Yang Jiye?""

Wen Pin said with a smile:"Wen is a guest, so the host's family will naturally make arrangements."

"General Wenpin is joking!

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said:"In that case, General Wenpin will lead 10,000 troops. When the horn sounds from Yang Jiye's side, he will immediately go to support Yang Jiye and be sure to severely damage the Jiangdong army."

Huang Zhong shook his head and said with a smile:"It seems that it has nothing to do with me." Zhuge

Liang immediately said:"General Huang is joking. I still have an important task here that I want to give to General Huang."

Huang Zhong suppressed his smile and said,"Please tell me, military advisor."

Zhuge Liang said:"I have notified Gan Ning and asked him to come over to meet General Huang. Taking advantage of the opportunity tonight, you will lead the army to sneak attack Nanchang along the waterway."

Huang Zhong frowned and said,"Would it be too dangerous to travel by land and water at night?" It was so dark that it was impossible to see unless they were all lit with torches, in which case they would be easily discovered by Dong Xi's navy. Zhuge Liang smiled and said,"

General, has he forgotten that today is the fifteenth day?" The weather will be fine during this period, and there will definitely be a full moon at night. Then it will be enough to follow the moonlight.

Huang Zhong slapped his thigh and said,"I almost forgot about this!" In this case, I will do as you say, military advisor."

……

Before I knew it, it was already late at night, and it was about an hour before dawn.

In the Jiangdong military camp, the army had gathered silently, and all kinds of baggage and food were also loaded on the carriages.

Not long after, the army was assembled in the school grounds.

Zhou Yu was wearing light armor and was already riding on a horse. After a period of recuperation, riding a horse was no longer a problem for him.

In front of him were more than 20,000 troops, as well as generals such as Zhu Zhi and Taishi Ci. Dong Xi led the navy to retreat along the waterway to Nanchang.

But they didn't expect that just an hour ago, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong had led an army of 7,000 people and went to Nanchang under the cover of night.

"Set off!"Zhou Yu glanced at the empty camp, gave a soft drink, and led the army towards the vast night. Retreating without a fight, although it was a bit of a blow to morale, each of these Jiangdong soldiers seemed very relaxed. After all, they were not fighting. Who would be unhappy?

Zhu Zhi cleared the way in front, Zhou Yu walked in the middle, and Taishi Ci was in charge of the rear. About an hour later, the sky was already slightly bright.

Zhou Yu sat on the horse, looked at the fish-belly white sky, and breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from that, he felt more unwilling to accept it.

After losing to Liu Jue twice in a row, Zhou Yu hated Liu Jue, but he was also afraid. If this person continued to grow, he would be more difficult to deal with in the future..

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu felt a little heavy in his heart.

At the same time, on a densely forested hill ahead, Yang Jiye had already led three thousand elite soldiers and had been lying in wait here for several hours.

In order to prevent missing the time, Zhuge Liang was in the sky Not long after dark, Yang Jiye led the army to set off. They followed a difficult path and bypassed the camp of the Jiangdong army. It took more than an hour to get here.

Since the ambush, Yang Jiye followed Zhuge Liang's instructions. He ordered an ambush to be arranged around him, and then ordered the soldiers not to make any sound, for fear that the sound would expose him.

At this time, Yang Jiye was wearing armor, and the water vapor condensed on the iron plates of the armor into droplets of water, which appeared from time to time. The ground dripped into his neck, making him feel uncomfortable.

This was nothing but fear of poisonous insects and snakes nearby.

However, the soldiers were well ambush, and no matter what situation they encountered, they would die. Silent and silent, the three thousand ambush soldiers quietly waited for Zhou Yu to take the bait.
