The date of the mourning is set in three days. The long journey team will fill the road to Lingyan Mountain. Sun Quan dressed in white and stared at the coffin beside him, with tears in his eyes.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Fan and other generals wanted to stay in Wujun to see the funeral, but Sun Quan persuaded him to go back because of the urgent war. Zhou Yu is now standing on the Shenting Ridge. If Gao Chong saw through the reality and attacked with all his might, the depressed Sun Jun would not be able to stop him.

Sun Quan was also not sure whether he could curb Gao Chong's aggressive offensive after returning to the camp.

"Brother, do you just keep me off like that?" Sun Kuang, who was underage, burst into tears and fell on the coffin.

"Bo Fu, brother, you can walk the way on Huangquan Road!" The young and beardless Sun Yi's eyes were covered with bloodshots, and there were also multiple blisters on his lips.

Sun Quan closed his dry eyes, drew his sword with his trembling hands, and shouted: "Don't cry, Sun's family man only died in battle, but not in tears!"

After saying that, Sun Quan walked around the white banner, walked to the coffin that was about to be buried, and pushed the coffin lid hard. The sandalwood coffin lid gently shook, revealing a small gap.

In the coffin was a bloodless, pale face, without words or movement, without sorrow or joy. Sun Ce, who was once full of energy and righteousness, has disappeared. This face once smiled like spring, brilliant and charming; it was also like the terrible cold wind swept through everything in the severe winter, making people's knees weak. Now, Sun Lang, who was so powerful that the six counties in Jiangdong, has completed his short life. Although the overlord is brave, he has no life!

"Shubi, Ji Zuo, you two look at the elder brother with wide eyes. This is the last side. As descendants of the Sun family, we three must not lose faces with our father and elder brother, do you know?" Sun Quan pulled Sun Yi and Sun Kuang over with blue eyes wide open. His voice was so firm and calm, just like the tone of Sun Ce's previous speech.

"No one of the Sun family's sons is a coward. The eldest brother is gone. We still have a second brother. Jiangdong's foundation will never be done like this." Sun Yi replied proudly.

At this moment, his eyes were no longer confused.

Sun Quan looked up at the sky again, and only a thought flashed in his heart: God has no eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly pulled over the lid of the coffin and carefully closed it with Heji. When the coffin was sealed with soil, Sun Quan saw that there was a cloud of bright red in the western sky, just like the life Sun Ce once had.

Shenting Ridge and Lu Xun's main tent are brightly lit and are heavily guarded.

The generals of Gao Chongjun were separated from each other, with a solemn expression. At this moment, it was not Lu Xun who was sitting upright in the position of commander, but Gao Chong, the governor of Yangzhou.

Since learning that Xu Wuming had successfully sent an assassin to assassin Sun Ce, Gao Chong ordered Huang Zhong and Liu Fu to defend the city in Hefei area, and on the other hand, he led the reinforcements that had just been recruited in Danyang County to Shenting Ridge.

Danyang's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but after Taishi Ci lost all their elite troops, Gao Chong's command had no shadow of this powerful force for a long time. Now with Taishi Ci's recovery, it is reasonable to rebuild.

"What's the direction of the enemy camp?" Gao Chong's voice was faint and calm.

Sun Ce's heroic life was a hero, but the ending was a death-death assassin. Gao Chong felt a little regretful in his heart. With Sun Ce's temperament, death on the battlefield should be the best destination, but those who accomplish great things should be careful. The two armies fight and assassination are certainly disgusting, but if the war in Jiangdong can be ended as soon as possible and the people will be in a peaceful and prosperous era, although Gao Chong has grudges in his heart, he has to do it.

Hearing Gao Chong's question, Lu Xun stepped out and bowed: "Report to the commander of Chong, the enemy camp has closed the gates since yesterday, and no matter how our army provoked, we will not go out to fight."

Gao Chong stood up slowly and asked, "Is there any abnormality in the flags hanging in the enemy camp?"

Lu Xun said: "Zhou Yu's central army's flags are still high. There is no difference in the past few days. I also ordered General Zhu Huan to test the attack several times, but the enemy camp has quite a rule to defend, so I was worried that the strong attack would be too great, so I gave up."

Hearing this, Xu Shu, who was standing beside Gao Chong, smiled slightly and said, "Boyan still fell into Zhou Yu's plan. If Shu was not wrong, except for him, several generals in Zhou Yu's camp have been gone in the past few days!"

Gao Chong suddenly turned around and nodded to Lu Xun. His eyes were bright and he said in a deep voice: "Just on the way to come, the secret spy who had sneaked into Wudi had just learned that the enemy general Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai and others had indeed rushed back to Wu County to worship Sun Ce two days ago, but the time was only two days ago. That day, there was no other general in the enemy camp except Zhou Yu."

When Lu Xun heard this, Gan Ning and Zhu Huan looked at each other and regretted it.

Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Zhoulang of Jiangdong is indeed amazing. I sent the scouts several times to inquire, but I still failed to find out the reality of the enemy camp."

Gan Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Yu is treacherous. A few days ago, I sent a navy army out of Piling to try to harass Sun's rear. I was ambushed by Zhou Yu and suffered heavy losses. I didn't expect that he would tease him again this time!"

Gao Chong spread his thick eyebrows, smiled at Gan Ning, and said, "Xingba, do you have the confidence to step onto the enemy camp again with me!"

Gan Ning was ecstatic on his face. Gao Chong's words suddenly reminded him of the scene of the hundreds of cavalry breaking through Sun Ben's camp in Fanyang. At this moment, why didn't Gan Ning excited under the gaze of the generals?

"Just ask the commander to Gan Ning and order his troops to fight!" Gan Ning laughed.

"Okay, Xingba is like this, all the generals are willing to go with me!" Although Gao Chong's voice was not loud, it was clearly heard into everyone in the tent.

"I'd like to go!" the generals rushed to answer.

"Personal soldiers, go and lead Lieyan over. Generals, please order troops to fight with me." Gao Chong shouted.

When Sun Cexin is lost, the morale of the enemy will inevitably be hit. At this time, launching a full-scale attack is not easy. Although it is not easy for generals such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Lu Fan to be away, it is also a good choice. It will be difficult to delay the time and wait until Sun Quan successfully handed over.

Gao Chong firmly believed that even if Zhou Yu was brave and resourceful, he could not turn the tide in an instant. Moreover, this time, he also brought elite warriors who were recruiting from Danyang.

A few shrill crows slowly cut open the dim sky. After the shower, a few cool breezes blew across the mountainside, swaying a clump of treetops left and right, and even more shocked the crows that were lying on the branches and swaying.

Zhou Yu stood in front of the central army tent with a steady expression, murmured: "What should be come, finally here!"

"Gong Jin, what did you find?" Lu Fan, who had Qi Rong, stroked his hand and asked heavily.

"Ziheng, look at that direction--." Zhou Yu pointed his finger at the place where the crow was shouting.

Lu Fan's face changed and he said in a dismay: "It's the enemy!"

Zhou Yu nodded heavily, turned around and walked into the main tent, and ordered: "Ziheng, go and notify the battalions and quickly gather the troops of our troops to retreat to Wujun. Do not hesitate at all."

Lu Fan paused and said hesitantly: "Gong Jing, retreat before the war. Doing this will leave people behind?"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Instead of the fall of the entire army, it is better to preserve its strength and wait for the opportunity. The scout sent the news that Gao Chong had arrived in Lu Xun's camp. Gao Chong would definitely come with all his strength in this battle. Now all the soldiers in the camp are depressed and panic. They will definitely lose in the battle. As the head coach, we cannot lose all our troops just for the sake of our own selfishness."

Lu Fan was speechless, and his admiration flashed through his expression. He stomped his feet and lifted his armor and turned around and left.

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Fan's back and bit his lower lip hard. His right hand subconsciously touched the sword on his waist. At the height of the scabbard, the sharp sword body had cut his fingers. Blood fell down one drop after another, condensed the dust at his feet into little by little.

Zhou Yu lowered his head, looked at the blood spots on the ground, and then raised it up again. His eyes already had a decisive meaning: "Bo Fu, you and I will be together after this battle!"

Sun Lang and Zhou Lang were originally unable to separate.

Gong Jin, do you still remember the days when I was a teenager? Do you still remember the scenery of you and me sweeping across Jiangdong? In Zhou Yu's heroic and hearty laughter seemed to sound in his ears.

In the camp, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing came. Zhou Yu knew that the soldiers who received the order were preparing to retreat. After waiting for a while, the entire camp would become empty.

Suddenly, a loud shout in his ear: "Gong Jin, why did you order retreat!"

Zhou Yu slowly turned around, but saw Cheng Pu walking with a big stance on his face, holding a bright long sword in his hand. Although his temples were frosted, Cheng Pu's every move was still so capable and simple. The shiny mail, wide and solid back, and a pair of rock-stable legs. All of this showed that Cheng Pu was a standard soldier all the time.

Cheng Pu's voice was filled with great sorrow. He was eager to avenge Sun Ce's shame in one battle, and he could not understand Zhou Yu's orders.

"Demou, Gao Chong has arrived with reinforcements. Now the total number of enemy troops is twice that of me, and the morale is strong. All our soldiers are depressed and have no intention of fighting. If they fight, they will be hard to win. Now the enemy's vanguard has probably leaped over the northern foot of Shenting Ridge. You will withdraw from the south side with your troops. If you are too late, you will be trapped in a heavy siege!" Zhou Yu's tone was calm, as if all this was expected.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Pu's cold face looked even more astonished. He originally wanted to denounce Zhou Yu but he didn't expect the military situation to be so serious. He, who had been through the battle for a long time, understood what the result of the tough battle would be?

Cheng Pu turned over without saying a word and jumped onto the red-maned war horse, urging the horse to leave with a spear. After taking more than ten steps, he suddenly pulled his head and walked back slowly.

"Gong Jin, why haven't you left yet?" Cheng Pu said.

Zhou Yu smiled silently, a bloody flower emerged from the corner of his biting lips, and said, "I'll stay here, will I meet an old friend I haven't seen for a long time?"

Cheng Pu suddenly stopped the war horse and said loudly: "Kung Jin, don't hide it from me. Cheng Pu is a rough man. Just do things straightforwardly. Gong Jin stays in the empty camp, which must be to attract the enemy to cover the entire army to retreat safely. In this case, please let me block Gao Chong!"

Zhou Yu showed a hint of relief on his face and said, "I have a virtuous plan to know that even if Yu dies, he will have no regrets!"

"No. Gong Jing, you must not die. When your lord died, he asked you and Zibu to assist Zhongmou. If you die today, the lord will blame me for not doing his best when he knows it. Therefore, I should be the one who stays here!" Cheng Pu shouted loudly.

While he was talking, a blood-covered scout rushed in from outside the gate, sat down and spitting out red blood foam, and his nostrils were filled with heat like fog.

When Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were in front of Zhou Yu, the horse could no longer bear it. The front legs became weak and fell straight down. The fragile neck hit the ground and broke with a snap. The scout immediately jumped up and flew up a few feet away.

"General——, there is an enemy!" As soon as he finished speaking, the scout was already squirting blood.

"Boys, follow me!" Cheng Pu did not hesitate anymore, raised his spear and shouted, and a strand of white hair danced in the wind along the helmet.

After saying that, Cheng Pu waved the iron spear, and a light blue light flashed at the tip of the spear, like a lightning bolt that cut through the sky, and the red-maned war horse shot out of the camp gate like an arrow. Then, hundreds of confidants rushed to the place where Gao Chongjun raised smoke and dust after Cheng Pu.

Wujun, the Hou Mansion is busy.

The news of the front-line defeat soon reached the rear. Before Sun Quan could hold his position, he had to face a panic of falling apart. Among the civil and military officials, some of them were already preparing to retreat. The targets they defected were Xu Du Sikong Cao Cao, Yecheng General Yuan Shao, Xuzhou Prime Minister Lu Bu, and even Gao Chong from Moling.

The war horses neighed outside the mansion, and Huang Gai stumbled in. After seeing Sun Quan, he couldn't help but feel sad and cried, "Lord, Demou is dead in battle!"

Looking at Huang Gai's exhausted face, a feeling of sadness flashed through Sun Quan's heart. Cheng Pu is the most powerful general under his father Sun Jian. He has made countless military achievements. He does not want to be lost to Gao Chong today. In fact, since Lu Meng's death, Sun Quan always has an ominous feeling in his heart. Over the past few years, Zhou Tai, Han Dang and other generals have died in battle one after another. This time it is Cheng Pu's turn, and I don't know who will be next time?

Perhaps, struggle is futile, and the situation in Jiangdong is really irreversible.

But no matter what, no matter how heavy the burden is, I, Sun Quan, will never retreat, because I have made a great oath in front of my elder brother's tomb.

"How many soldiers are there?" Sun Quan's voice was filled with helplessness.

Huang Gai looked at Sun Quan's indifferent and cold eyes and couldn't help but feel cold. The biggest difference between Sun Quan and Sun Jian and Sun Ce is that his indifference to his subordinates' lives. Perhaps Cheng Pu was originally an old minister who followed Sun Jian, not Sun Quan's confidant.

"Fortunately, the retreat was quick, except for Cheng Pu's army, the main force did not suffer any losses!" Huang Gai said.

Sun Quan felt a little relieved. As long as Zhou Yu had more than 10,000 troops in his hands, he still had a chance to make a comeback: "Where is the troops stationed now?"

"Peng Jin is now stationed in Wucheng!"

Wucheng is located in the southernmost part of Wujun and close to Kuaiji. Wherever Zhou Yu led his army to retreat, would he have to completely give up Wujun?

"What should I do if Wu County?" Sun Quan said angrily. If Wu County is maintained and the wealth of Wu and Yue is the one who is in the country, it will be able to compete with Gao Chong. If Wu County is lost and Kuaiji County is supported only, it will only be an ending of annihilation.

Seeing Sun Quan angry, Huang Gai advised: "Lord, Gao Chong's army is very sharp at the moment, and Wu County has no danger to defend. Only by retreating to Kuaiji area can our army get a chance to breathe. Gong Jin's decision is not wrong."

"It's just that, Jiangdong, Jiangdong will never be protected!" Sun Quan sighed. Zhou Yu's decision was not wrong. If he had changed himself, he would definitely do this.

"Lord, as long as we have a breath, we will have a chance to make a comeback. His Gao Chong is not a god, and he will fail. What we have to do now is to endure the burden and wait for the opportunity." Huang Gai said.

"Publicly, I will give you the order to withdraw from Wujun. When you leave, a torch burned the city!" When Sun Quan said this, a cruel smile appeared in his eyes.
