Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Sun Jian was advised to fake his death and plot to seize Jingzhou.

In the early morning, the mist above the river has not dissipated, and a naval army is moving south along the tributaries of the Han River and merging into the main road of the Yangtze River.

Not far away, the army is going straight along the coast, echoing with the navy.

On the leading boat, Cai Mao was dressed in military uniform, looking at the riverbank in the distance, her eyes were full of worry.

He was born in the Cai family, a wealthy family in Xiangyang, and was in the prime of life, because Liu Biao married his sister, so he helped Liu Biao control Jingzhou and was appointed as the Taishou of Nanjun.

In his opinion, Jingzhou has Liu Biao in power, which can at least keep the prosperity of his Cai family for more than ten years.

But I didn't expect Liu Biao to be in power for less than two years, and there was a Sun Jian, who wanted to send troops and horses north to besiege him, but Sun Jian came to a golden cicada and took Xiling with his backhand.

And now, Huang Zu is dead, and he has become the commander-in-chief of Nanjun and Jiangxia soldiers and horses.

If it had been in the past, he would have been overjoyed to have gained such great power.

But now, facing a big enemy like Sun Jian, it makes him full of pressure, and if he is not careful, it may lead to the defeat of the overall situation in Jingzhou, so he can't help but worry!

Thinking like this, he turned around and beckoned Su Fei to ask

"General Su, where is our army now?"

Su Fei was originally the governor of the navy under Huang Zu, but now he is under the command of Cai Mao.

As soon as he heard this, he smiled and said:

"I haven't come to Jiangxia for a long time, and I don't want to forget the road. "

"Ahead is Zhangshan, through which our army can go to Jingling and Yunshe. "

"When you come here, you will enter the territory of my Jiangxia!"

"I don't want to have traveled to Zhangshan, I will be in a trance, and I don't realize that I have entered Jiangxia. "

Seeing this, Cai Mao also smiled dryly and asked

"What anomalies can our spouts find in the past two days?"

"Sun Jianjun didn't find anything abnormal!".

Su Fei thought for a while and hesitated

"However, it is said that according to the fishermen on the shore, it seems that some water thieves sailed south last night and went to Dongting Lake!"

"Just a little water thief, leave him alone!".

Cai Mao was a little unimpressed, Jingzhou water thieves are not a day or two, there are a large number of water thieves inhabiting Dongting Lake alone, it is difficult to arouse his vigilance.

"The key now is to detect the enemy's movements!"

"And send more sentinel ships to the east, carefully probe Sun Jian's movements, and report the slightest change!"

"No!".

Su Fei arched his hand and took the order.

After Su Fei left, Cai Mao raised his hand and said:

"Set sail, speed up the march, our army will arrive at the city of Anlu within tomorrow!".

At the sound of his command, a large number of ships hoisted their canvases and followed the wind and marched eastward along the river.

...

Jiangxia, in Xiling City.

In a small courtyard under the city wall, Cheng Pu and Sun Ben were digging a tunnel in the courtyard with dozens of sergeants.

Watching the tunnels being dug out, Sun Ben was a little puzzled and said:

"General Cheng, now that the enemy army may arrive at any time, why should our army waste time digging these tunnels?".

Facing Sun Ben's doubts, Cheng Pu shook his head and smiled:

"This is the order of the military advisor, let me dig the tunnel outside the city within five days. "

"This is the retreat of our army!"

Sun Ben listened, instantly understood the deep meaning of this move, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The actions of the military advisor are really mind-blowing. "

"While taking risks, we are also fully prepared. "

What are the pits dug for? Of course, they are used as secret passages for siege.

Xiao Zhe's order was to prepare for the capture of Xiling again.

Even if the capture of Gangneung is unsuccessful, they can take Xiling by surprise again through the tunnel.

"I hope this tunnel doesn't work!"

He looked at the pit and silently prayed in his heart that this time the capture of Nanjun could be completed.

Unlike Sun Ben's worries, Cheng Pu smiled:

"I hope this tunnel will be used in the future, and it will be of great use!"

"This Xiling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can the tunnel not be used!".

As he spoke, he looked at Sun Ben and asked

"I don't know where Boyang came from this time?"

Originally, digging the pit was his job alone, but unexpectedly, Sun Ben came in person and said that there was something important to report, so he let him in.

When Sun Ben heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, and arched his hand:

"Returning to General Cheng, it was Guoyi who sent a letter to come, saying that he had found traces of the enemy. "

"Now there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses marching towards our army!"

Hearing Sun Ben's words, Cheng Pu stroked his beard and smiled:

"The enemy is coming really fast!".

"If it weren't for the early movement of our army, I am afraid it would have been blocked by the enemy!"

"Yes, it's not much different from the military advisor's prediction!".

Sun Ben nodded and said with emotion

"The enemy army probably marched as soon as they received the news of the fall of Xiling!".

"As long as our army is a day or two at night, it will be discovered by the enemy!"

Seeing this, Cheng Pu agreed, and then said in a deep voice:

"Since the enemy army is coming, order Guoyi to withdraw his troops, if they want to be safe, let them go!"

"Under the command!".

When Sun Ben heard this, he immediately took the order and sent a letter to Sun Fu.

That night, Sun Fu escorted An Lu's heavy grain and grass and withdrew directly in the direction of Xiling.

......

The next day, Cai Mao's army marched outside Anlu City and sent spies to investigate, only to find that Anlu had been emptied.

When Cai Mao heard the news, she was a little incredulous

"You say the enemy withdrew from Anlu last night?"

The spy hurriedly replied

"General, this is true, the enemy army has indeed withdrawn from Anlu, and now the city is empty!"

Seeing that the matter was confirmed, Cai Mao turned around and looked at each other with Lu Gong Su Fei, and they all looked at each other.

Lu Gong thought for a while and said busily:

"General, the enemy army is like this, what tricks can't be done?".

Cai Mao listened, her two brows almost came together, pondered for a moment, and then said coldly

"Quickly order the spies to move eastward, and be sure to find out the enemy's movements. "

"At the same time, send people into the city to carefully investigate, and after making sure that there is no ambush, our army will enter the city again!"

When the second general heard this, he hurriedly took the order and left.

After leading the army to search carefully in the city and confirming that there was no ambush, Cai Mao led the army into the city.

Until he entered Anlu City, Cai Mao was still in a trance.

He had already prepared to confront Sun Jianjun here and prevent Sun Jian from advancing westward.

The result has not yet arrived, and the enemy army has taken the initiative to abandon the city, what is going on!

In confusion, he ordered his generals to strictly guard the city defense to prevent the enemy from returning and at the same time reported the matter to Liu Biao's side.

As a result, at night, I saw Su Fei returning to the city with an anxious face

"General, our army spies have detected that the enemy army is transporting a large amount of supplies to cross the river into Exian!".

"Hmm, the enemy also transported the supplies!"

Hearing this, Cai Mao hurriedly came to the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with a confused face

"What are the enemy trying to do?"

"Aren't you going to evacuate to Exian?".

Saying this, as smart as he was, he couldn't figure out what Sun Jian was going to do for a while.
