The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Song Qian led his soldiers to Yinling.

This place is the main road from Huainan to Guangling, and it is also the place where Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, got lost.

Song Qian rode here on horseback, and saw that the vegetation was lush, and there were rivers and lakes reflecting the sky from time to time. He sighed: "This place is really like a fantasy! No wonder the Overlord Xiang Yu got lost here!"

The rest of the soldiers also remembered the events of the Chu-Han contention by heart.

When Xiang Yu arrived at Yinling and got lost, he went to ask an old farmer how to get back to Jiangdong.

The old farmer guided Xiang Yu to the left, but he unexpectedly fell into a quagmire, which led to him being caught up by the Han army, and the remaining elite troops were completely destroyed...

"Don't just seek fame by learning from the Overlord!"

Song Qian suddenly thought of the poem that the emperor chanted by the river that year, and it also made the soldiers around him alert!
"Now we come here to fight not the King of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, but the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin!"

"We must wipe out Wei Yan here this time and prevent him from rushing to support us!"

"Here!"

The soldiers of the Wu army hid in the bushes and water, quietly waiting for Wei Yan.

Waited until the date agreed in the letter.

As expected, the Wu army scouts discovered that a large group of troops were rushing towards Hefei from the direction of Guangling!

"It's Wei Yan's banner!"

Seeing that Wei Yan had indeed sent troops, Song Qian was overjoyed!
When Wei Yan's army arrived at Yinling, the Wu army beat the war drums and rushed forward!

Wei Yan had not expected an ambush here, and he shouted, "I was ambushed by rats!"

After shouting, Wei Yan did not dare to resist and led his troops to retreat. Even the flags became scattered and began to fall to the ground!
"Catch up with Wei Yan and annihilate the enemy!"

When Song Qian saw that Wei Yan was really ambushed, how could he let him go so easily!
Continuing to chase forward, the troops of both sides soon fell into a swamp.

Facing the obstacles of the swamp, Song Qian did not hesitate at all.

"Keep chasing!"

All the soldiers of Jiangdong were trapped in the swamp and desperately chased Wei Yan in front of them.

When Wei Yan saw that Song Qian actually ordered his soldiers to go to the quagmire, an extremely strange smile flashed across his lips.

"attack!"

The reed bushes on both sides, which had been silent, began to shake wildly!
The next moment, countless Han soldiers emerged from the swamp and surrounded the Wu army in the swamp!

Wei Yan also stopped fleeing at this moment, turned around and ordered the soldiers who were fleeing with him to fight back!
The sudden influx of Han troops from both sides and Wei Yan's sudden toughness shocked the Jiangdong soldiers!
Song Qian even lost his voice and asked, "How is that possible?"

Looking at the soldiers on both sides, it is clear that the Han army has been ambushing here for a long time?
If they had been lying in ambush here...

At this moment, Song Qian not only felt that the battlefield was in chaos, but his mind was also in chaos.

Song Qian now seemed to be fixed firmly in place by something, unable to issue even a military order. He just stood there in the middle of the battlefield...

Wei Yan led the troops and was extremely brave.

The Han troops on both sides also used bows and arrows and crossbows to suppress the Jiangdong soldiers.

The Jiangdong soldiers who were fighting with Wei Yan in the front soon collapsed and ran to the rear crying for their parents.

But the swamp undoubtedly slowed down the escape speed of the Jiangdong soldiers.

When fighting in such terrain, the attacking side always gains while the defending side suffers!
Just like when Xiang Yu was caught up by the Han army here, no matter how bravely Xiang Yu fought, he could not escape the cage set by heaven and earth!

"General!"

It was only after his personal soldiers shook him desperately that Song Qian finally reacted.

"oh oh……"

Song Qian raised his head and glanced at Wei Yanhou, who was rushing towards him desperately, so excited that he looked like a human being... The fear in his bones then came up like a rumination.

"vomit!"

Song Qian retched a few times and immediately ran back, not caring about the remaining soldiers.

A general is never braver than his soldiers.

When it was confirmed that death was approaching, Song Qian forgot his identity as a general and fled desperately!

Song Qian fled backwards, but he heard the sounds of the Han army from all directions.

Most of the soldiers under Wei Yan's command were from Guangling, and their accent was similar to that of Jiangdong.

After hearing these voices, even Song Qian felt a little dazed——

"Has the imperial court already conquered Jiangdong?"

Every time the grass and trees beside him swayed, Song Qian's body trembled unconsciously, thinking that there were Han soldiers hiding inside...

The enemy was everywhere.

Song Qian never thought that one day he would have the same experiences and insights as Xiang Yu.

Just a pity.

Not only was Yu Ji not with Song Qian, he didn't even have the horse that could carry him to escape...

Wei Yan, who was chasing behind him, saw that he was getting closer and closer to Song Qian, so he immediately took out his bow and arrow and aimed at Song Qian.

"Go!"

Like a white rainbow piercing the sun!
A sharp arrow accurately shot into Song Qian's armpit and pierced his chest.

By the time Wei Yan arrived in front of him, Song Qian was breathing out more than breathing in and was unable to speak at all.

"Since we are both Han Chinese, I will give you a quick death!"

"Next time, be more careful and don't follow people like Sun Quan to cause trouble!"

Wei Yan cut off Song Qian's head with one knife, and then ordered his soldiers to gather the Jiangdong soldiers and rest on the spot!
……

Song Qian's defeated soldiers fled back to Sun Quan's camp one after another.

"What did you say?"

Sun Quan was dumbfounded. "The whole army was destroyed? And Song Qian died in the battle?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Song Qian is our Jiangdong general! Wei Yan is just a nobody, how can he kill Song Qian?"

Sun Quan was somewhat mentally disturbed.

Fighting a war... This isn't the way it should be fought!

Fighting a war...shouldn't you be like the emperor, crushing enemy troops with ease and then winning?

Fighting a war... when did it become such a complicated matter?

Xu Xiang, Hu Zong and Quan Cong were all horrified when they heard that Song Qian's entire army was wiped out!
"Wu Hou! Retreat!"

Huainan is not something Sun Quan can get his hands on now!

Rather than staying here and suffering a major defeat, it is better to stop the loss in time to avoid damaging the foundation!

The soldiers in Sun Quan's hands today are the last field forces in Jiangdong!

If they all die here, Jiangdong will be completely finished!
"no no!"

Sun Quan tried hard to sort out what was going on.

"The letter must be a fraud!"

Isn't this nonsense...

Everyone around me thinks the same way...

If they still can't see that the letter is a trap set by Zhang Liao, they might as well just kill themselves collectively!
"The letter is fake, Wei Yan's plan to come to support Hefei is fake, and similarly... the arrival of the imperial reinforcements in Hefei must also be fake!"

Sun Quan suddenly became excited and looked up at Hefei again!
"Yes!"

"Zhang Liao did this just to get Wei Yan to disperse our forces under the city of Hefei."

"But if the imperial court really sent reinforcements, Zhang Liao wouldn't have to do this!"

Sun Quan's ideas gradually became clear!
"That's right! According to Zhu Ran's report, the imperial court didn't even send reinforcements to Jingzhou, so how could it possibly send reinforcements to Huainan!"

Sun Quan discovered the blind spot!
"attack!"

"Attack Hefei!"

Hefei must be empty now. As long as we take Hefei, the loss of troops will not be worth mentioning at all!
"Wu Hou! Retreat!"

Quan Cong finally couldn't stand Sun Quan anymore.

As a member of the Jiangdong noble family, he now had no reason to continue supporting Sun Quan militarily.

"News just came from Hefei today, saying that reinforcements from Shouchun have arrived in Hefei!"

"Are all those soldiers who entered Hefei fake people?"

impossible!
Sun Quan didn't think his judgment would be wrong!
The imperial court would never send a large number of reinforcements to Huainan!
Sun Quan understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor is now quietly accumulating strength, just as he did when he launched the Battle of Hebei and the war against Cao Cao, hoping to destroy Wu and pacify Jiangdong in one fell swoop.

If a large army were sent to Huainan, this round trip would very likely delay the emperor's large-scale attack on Wu by one or two years.

But that emperor...either out of pride, conceit, or some other reason, would not allow Jiangdong to linger under his nose for so long!
"Those reinforcements are just Lu Meng's troops that Zhang Liao sent to Shouchun earlier!"

"The imperial court's military force in Huainan can only be Lu Meng's!"

"From now on, there will be no more reinforcements entering Hefei City!"

……

But Sun Quan's confidence was soon shattered by reality.

The base scouts reported that thousands of soldiers entered Hefei the next day.

The same thing happened on the third day.

The fourth day is also...

Adding these numbers together, the military strength in Hefei has reached a terrifying 30,000!

These troops are enough to engage in a head-on battle with Sun Quan!

Sun Quan's eyes were dull.

"No...impossible!"

"How could that conceited emperor send reinforcements to Huainan at this time..."

But the facts were already before him, and even if Sun Quan didn't believe it, he could do nothing about it.

In Hefei, Zhang Liao praised Lu Meng, saying, "Sun Quan did not attack Hefei for three days, which shows that he was indeed frightened by Ziming's plan!"

After receiving Zhang Liao's praise, Lü Meng felt a little embarrassed: "No, no, it's just some trivial tricks."

The imperial court did not send any reinforcements.

However, Lu Meng ordered his soldiers to sneak out of the city at night, head north, and then enter Hefei city with great fanfare during the day.

In this way, the illusion was created that reinforcements from the imperial court were constantly rushing to Hefei!
Zhang Liao glanced outside the city.

"If Sun Quan doesn't attack Hefei in three days, he must have been frightened."

"Now the people in Jiangdong are in panic, and the battle in Jingzhou has already been lost. If Sun Quan is not stupid, he will definitely choose to retreat."

How could Sun Quan, who was able to usurp the Jiangdong regime and become the last anti-Han prince in the Han Dynasty, be a fool?
"But Hefei is not a place where he can come and go as he pleases!"

Just as Zhang Liao had said before, to the south of Hefei, there was a plain divided by a river.

Sun Quan’s 100,000-strong army is now all crowded on this plain!

If you want to evacuate from here, there is only one exit!
Zhang Liao turned sideways and faced the southeast direction of Hefei.

"Sun Quan, you must evacuate from Xiaoyaojin!" (End of this chapter)
