Chapter 199: Battle in Hefei (8)

Two days later, Ji Ling's 30,000 army arrived in Hefei and joined forces with Zhang Xun. The total force reached more than 50,000, and the camp was in full swing, which boosted its morale for a while.

In the past two days, Zhou Yu made Zhang Xun suffer enough. He kept sending small groups of cavalry to harass him day and night. All the scouts sent were either killed or captured. The cavalry also fired crossbow arrows from a distance, occasionally shooting rockets, making the soldiers in the camp busy putting out the fire all day long. Either a dozen of them died or that camp injured dozens of them. Zhang Xun was very troubled.

Zhang Xun once sent troops to retaliate. When the cavalry saw a large group of people coming out of the camp, they dissipated like a wind. Zhang Xun sat in the tent waiting for the good news, but what he sent back was a message that made him sad. One thousand cavalrymen were sent out in the camp, but only five hundred were returned, and the rest were ambushed and buried in a foreign land. From then on, Zhang Xun ordered that he would not leave the camp to pursue the enemy.

After Ji Ling and Zhang Xun joined forces, Ji Ling took over the command of the army. Then, Ji Ling led his troops to the city of Hefei to challenge Zhou Yu, and fought with Xu Sheng for more than 100 rounds without any victory or defeat. Both sides each called for their own gold and retreated.

After withdrawing the troops, Ji Ling returned to the camp with a big axe and riding a horse, and almost sang songs while eating hot pot. Seeing Zhang Xun waiting for him in the camp, Ji Ling said loudly to Zhang Xun: "Haha, Zhou Yu's child is just like this, and Xu Sheng's martial arts are also ordinary. I have only used 60% of my skills today. It seems that there is hope for breaking the enemy."

Zhang Xun and Ji Ling have been competing for favor in front of Yuan Shu. He knew that Ji Ling's words were deliberately stimulating him, so he whispered: "General, don't underestimate the enemy. As far as I know, although Xu Sheng is quite brave, he is not the most powerful martial arts under Zhou Yu's tent. Others such as Wang Yue, Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, Gan Ning are far better than him in martial arts."

Ji Ling glared at his leopard eyes and said sternly, "General Zhang, what do you mean? Don't be more ambitious and destroy your own might. Let's see how I will defeat the enemy tomorrow!" After that, Ji Ling ignored Zhang Xun, snorted coldly, and went back to the tent alone.

A few helplessness appeared on Zhang Xun's face. He smiled bitterly and had to go back to the camp to rest.

Hefei city, backyard of county government office.

Zhou Yu handed the sealed letter in his hand to a man in black who was potentially in the dark and reminded him: "These two letters must be delivered to General Zijing and General Xingba tonight. Remember."

"Here~~" the man in the dark agreed, picked up the secret letter and put it in his arms. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared, just like he had never been there, leaving no trace.

A slight wind blew past outside the house. Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction. This was a group of spy elites he personally trained. The members were carefully selected from the Jingwu Guard, specializing in spying on advanced military and political secrets, conveying important intelligence, and some assassinations.

Zhou Yu named this secret team "Ye Yu", which means that the feathers in the dark night are not at all eye-catching and can lurk around the investigative target for a long time.

Many people in Ye Yu contacted Zhou Yu alone, and they didn't even know each other, which provided a guarantee for the security of Zhou Yu's transmission of confidential information.

Chen Gong walked out of the wing room and said to Zhou Yu with a smile: "Gongjin, once your plan is made this time, Ji Ling is really hard to compete, haha."

Zhou Yu smiled and replied, "Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers, I am really not afraid of him. It's just that our army is not strong yet and cannot eat him in one breath. The person I really fear in my heart is still a distance from Yangzhou at this moment..."

Chen Gong frowned slightly and said, "Gongjin, you have talked to me. I know who the person you can call his opponent in your mind, but... are they really that powerful?"

Zhou Yu turned around silently and sighed softly. Yes, because of his appearance, will the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty still be the same as those recorded in historical books?

Judging from the information sent by Jingwuwei, Liu Bei was currently in the hands of Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan was afraid of Liu Bei's ability and did not dare to use it. He just put him beside him and made a false reputation as a general of a storm, calling Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to charge for him. However, Liu Bei won the trust of the gentry and people in Youzhou in a short time. Liu Bei was a hidden dragon at this moment, and once he ascended to heaven, it was unlimited.

Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son occupied most of Yuzhou. However, Yuzhou was already in poverty due to years of war and could not support a huge army. There were strong enemies around him. It would be good to gain a foothold in Yuzhou with their courage alone. As for Sun Quan, he was still young at this moment and had not yet shown his extraordinary ability.

The most terrifying thing is Cao Cao. Since he decisively moved his troops to Qingzhou, he has eliminated the Yellow Turban Army while consolidating the territory he captured while consolidating the territory he captured. Now he has occupied the three counties of Jinan, Le and Qi. Cao Cao has selected his young and strong troops from the captured Yellow Turban Army and organized 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers. It is said that he has strong combat effectiveness and is a powerful force. In terms of internal affairs, Cao Cao has been respectful to the wise and humble, and has continued to seek refuge in civil and military officials. Now Cao Cao has a lot of talents under his tent, and Cao Cao has also followed Zhou Yu's method of farming, greatly improving the shortage of food in Qingzhou.

When Zhou Yu thought of this, he felt a little irritable. He saw Cao Cao's strength getting stronger and stronger, but there was no good way. Perhaps the best way was to make himself stronger quickly, surpass Cao Cao, and then take the opportunity to fight him.

As for Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Yan, Zhang Lu, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao and others, they were all heroes of their lives. However, since they were losers in history, Zhou Yu did not elevate them to the height of important opponents, but he still attached great importance to them. The tentacles of Jingwuwei had already extended to various places, and they were constantly reporting their situation.

The second day.

Zhou Yu sent troops to continue to line up under the city to fight Ji Ling. Ji Ling jumped into the horse formation and demanded a one-on-one challenge. Zhou Yu sent two generals Pan Zhang and Lu Dai in succession, but were both defeated by Ji Ling. Then Xu Sheng went to fight. After fifty rounds of battle with Ji Ling, Ji Ling exerted his strength, but Xu Sheng failed to support him and fled in the northwest direction of the city. Ji Ling was not willing to let Xu Sheng escape. He thought Xu Sheng must have been panicked and just caught up and captured alive. So Ji Ling stepped forward and chased Xu Sheng tightly.

After chasing for three or four miles, there was a small hill ahead. Ji Ling was worried about ambushing, so she wanted to give up chasing him. However, Xu Sheng turned around and teased him, and fought with Ji Ling for more than twenty rounds, then turned around and ran away.

Ji Ling was able to kill, and urged the horse to raise his axe to chase Xu Sheng.
