Jinyi Nanwei's most affectionate news about Peng Ze and Wu Jun soon reached the hands of the potters.

According to the intelligence, just a day ago, Sun Ce was also assembling a large army, and he was arrogant, and he was preparing to launch an attack on the Chaisang army again.

Moreover, according to the detailed intelligence, the Wu army was already equipped with a large number of heavy shields, apparently prepared to restrain the strong bows and crossbows of the Wei army.

However, immediately after Xizuo sent back information, the long-brewing attack of the Wu army was not heard from that day, but the Wu army, which had 15,000 people, hurriedly left Pengze under the leadership of Han Dang, and went all the way south to the hinterland of Yuzhang.

Seeing this information, the potter smiled.

The situation was already obvious, Sun Ce learned that Haiyang had fallen, and he couldn't wait, so he could only give up the attack on Chaisang, draw more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and send Han Dang to rush to recover Haidu.

Such an exciting news was soon bigraphed throughout the battalion, not only the potters, but also the soldiers of the battalion, all of whom breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Liang's strategy finally had the desired effect, containing Sun Ce's attack on Chaisang and gaining valuable time for Tao Shangxi.

"King, I think that if we want to drag the Wu army even more, we have to sprinkle some salt on Sun Ce's wounds, and our cavalry should also move their muscles and bones." Zhang Liang said with a smile, the corners of his mouth were already a little weird.

"The ovary means ......" The potter's eyes lit up, and he motioned for him to continue.

Zhang Liang stood up and walked to the map, "Although Sun Ce has transferred 15,000 soldiers and horses, there are still 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command, which is still a big threat to our army, so Liang thinks that it is necessary to contain some of Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, so that the Wu people will not be able to attack our Chaisang at all." ”

The potter nodded and asked with a smile: "You said so, there must be a way, don't sell Guanzi anymore." ”

Zhang Liang smiled, raised his hand and pointed to the map, and landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, "In fact, this plan is also simple, the main force of the Wu army is now concentrated on the south bank, but the first line of troops in Lujiang County on the north bank is empty, and the king can send thousands of iron horsemen to take Anhui County along the north bank, and he will definitely be able to force Sun Ce to rescue again." ”

The potter stared at the map, his thoughts flipped, and he couldn't help nodding again and again, Zhang Liang's plan was exactly what he wanted.

He glanced around at the generals and immediately shouted: "Where is Meng Tian!" ”

"The end will be." Meng Tian came out of the ranks.

The potter raised his hand and pointed to the north, and ordered: "This king ordered you to lead three thousand light horsemen to the north bank of the Yangtze River and go straight to Anhui County. ”

Meng Tian is good at riding and foot fighting, but not good at water warfare, since the southern expedition, has been suffering from no opportunity to show his face, and now he is entrusted with a heavy task by the pottery merchants, naturally he is excited.

"The king can rest assured, the last general will go to the north shore, and the killer Sun Ce will be restless, so that he will not be able to live in peace." Meng Tian accepted the order and retreated excitedly.

After using Zhang Liang's plan, the potter exhaled, his mood was even more relieved, and he picked up the cup again, drank a little wine, and looked relaxed.

"There are two knives in the north and south, we have already stabbed Sun Ce, just wait to see Sun Ce's hurried performance." Raising his head to drink a glass of wine, the potter laughed.

In the lobby, the relaxed laughter of the generals rang out.

……

North of Haiyang City, Liling City.

In the early afternoon, Han Dang led 15,000 Wu troops to the north of Haidun City, which was less than a hundred miles and the nearest city.

When Han Dang rode his horse into the city, he looked up, but what he saw was the mess and blood of the city.

Just one day before he arrived, Cao Shenqin led a thousand soldiers and horses to the north, and with the momentum of thunder, he killed under the city of Liling.

There are only 300 soldiers and horses in Haiyang City, not to mention the Liling City, which is not very important in terms of geographical location, at that time there were only 100 soldiers and horses in the city, and they were all local soldiers with low combat effectiveness, and only 100 weak soldiers could resist the onslaught of Cao Shen's tiger and wolf division, and they were killed in a blink of an eye, and the city fell.

After Cao Shen entered the city, he did not kill again, but scavenged all the grain and grass in the city's treasury house, and after some looting, the grain, grass, cattle and sheep, etc., all that could be eaten, were transported to Haiyang City.

Therefore, when Han Dang hurried to Liling, what he saw in front of him was already a city that had been sacked and abandoned by Cao Shen.

"Cao Shen, this thief, the old man must kill him-" Han Dang gritted his teeth, and his old face was full of hatred.

At this time, the deputy general Chen Wu was puzzled: "Old general, since the Wei army has captured the Liling Land, why did they abandon it without a fight, and just looted some grain, grass and goods?" ”

Han Dang pondered for a moment, suddenly realized, frowned and said: "Cao Shen's dog thief is attacking from afar, it must be a light march, and there is not much ration with them, so after they capture the sea dusk, they will go around to scavenge for grain and grass, the old man expects that he has few soldiers, and he will not dare to divide his troops to defend the city, and wantonly collect grain and grass to the sea dusk, just to prepare for the death." ”

"I see." Only then did Chen Wu understand, "Then how should we deal with it?" ”

Han Dang snorted coldly and said proudly: "Cao Shen is just a nameless man, he was only a sneak attack at the beginning, so he could take Haiduan and capture my Zong'er, now the old man's army is five times that of coming, taking advantage of it, naturally he is going to take back Haiduan in one go, and destroy Cao Shen and his three thousand Wei dogs!" ”

His words also aroused Chen Wu's confidence, and he also said generously: "What the old general said is that the last general assisted the old general, destroyed the Cao Shen in one fell swoop, and regained the prestige of the Han family, the veteran general's family." ”

On Han Dang's old face, the flames of revenge became even wilder, and he raised his whip and pointed to the south, "Order the whole army to speed up the march and follow the old man to the sea dusk!" ”

……

Peng Zecheng.

In the palace, Sun Ce was looking at the map, his eyes were changing, and his heart was brewing again about the attack on Chaisang Wei's camp.

At this moment, the 15,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Han Dang have penetrated deep into Yuzhang, and Sun Ce believes that with Han Dang's strength, the commander is five times the enemy's army, and with the assistance of Chen Wu, a fierce general, it is enough to defeat Cao Shen's 3,000 soldiers and horses and recapture Haidu.

Although Han Dang's first army was transferred, there were still 40,000 available naval troops under Sun Ce's command, and purely in terms of the number of naval troops, he still had an advantage over the Wei army.

Therefore, Sun Ce planned to march in two directions, Han Dang in the south to regain the lost territory, and Peng Ze on the front line, he would continue to lead the main force to launch an attack on the Chaisang Wei camp again.

Staring at the map for a long time, the confident look on Sun Ce's face became stronger and stronger.

Pang Tong beside him saw Sun Ce's thoughts, and reminded: "Great King, although the pottery thief is insufficient at the moment, according to careful reconnaissance, he still has thousands of sailors in Baqiu, and he has not been used. ”

Pang Tong expressed some hidden worries, and after a series of miscalculations, he became more and more jealous of the potter.

"Even if he is transferred to the reserves, this king is still afraid that he will not succeed." Sun Ce snorted disappreciatively, "It would be better for him to transfer those thousands of sailors, and this king will annihilate one of them on the front line of Chaisang." ”

Sun Ce is as confident as madness, and he is not blindly confident.

Although the pottery merchant succeeded in Cao Shen's surprise attack on Haidu, and slapped him in the face in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, his substantial loss was still only 300 soldiers and horses in Haidu, and it was just a mediocre general with such ability as Han Zong.

In the absence of major losses in troops, any means played by the potter, in his opinion, were nothing more than small skills of carving insects, and could not stop the attack of his absolute superiority in the naval army.

Just when Sun Ce was confident, Lu Su hurriedly entered, with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Your lord, make an urgent report, the pottery merchant has sent the enemy general Meng Tian in the starry night, led three thousand light horsemen to the north bank, and marched east along the river, it seems that he clearly wants to bypass the Peng Ze defense line of our army and go to capture Anhui County." ”

Hearing this, Sun Ce's confident face suddenly changed, and a layer of stunned clouds were instantly covered.

This astonishing information, in an instant, shattered Sun Ce's arrogance, made him fight a cold shiver on his back, and felt a deep chill for the potter's anticipation of the enemy's opportunity.

What made him creepy was that the potter's insight was so mysterious and amazing, as if he had seen through his own thoughts, and every time he used a strategy, he restrained him step by step and led him by the nose.

"Pottery thief, you actually ......" Sun Ce clenched his fists and struck the case again hard, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on his fists.

Pang Tong sighed and persuaded: "I don't want the pottery thief's means, it is so treacherous, my army is all here, the front-line troops in Anhui City are weak, if it is attacked by the pottery thief, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Sun Ce's heart was shocked, and although he was angry, he had to accept this cruel truth.

You must know that Anhui County is a key city in Lushan County, which is very close to Hefei City, and can be said to be the belly of Hefei.

At this moment, Zhou Yu is facing Le Yi's attack, if Anhui County is lost, Zhou Yu will face the Wei army's north-south attack, and Hefei is in danger of being lost.

Once Hefei is lost......

Sun Ce was so frightened that he didn't dare to think about how serious the series of consequences would be after the attack on Wancheng.

In Hefei, he transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses before, and Zhou Yu's troops were less than 15,000 people, so he didn't dare to take the risk, and then transferred the Hefei army to help defend Anhui City.

After thinking about it, Sun Ce had no choice but to transfer troops from Peng Ze again.

What annoyed Sun Ce was that he had just drawn 15,000 soldiers and horses, led by Han Dang, to recapture Haidu, and if he transferred troops again, his military advantage over Chai Sang would be greatly weakened.

In this way, Sun Ce had no certainty of victory, and if he attacked Chaisang again, he could only wait for Han Dang to capture Haidu, and then lead the army to the meeting, and then he could attack Chaisang again.

But right now, what Sun Ce can't afford to delay the most is time.

The 20,000 main infantry of the pottery merchant has rushed to Jiangling, Liu Zhang's Shu army may not be able to withstand it at any time, and return to Yizhou, once the Shu soldiers retreat, nearly 30,000 Wei land and water troops on the front line of Jiangling can go down the river and go straight to Chaisang.

Once the two Wei armies met, even if Sun Ce gathered all the forces of Wu, he would no longer have an advantage in recapturing Chaisang.

At this moment, Sun Ce finally understood that this guy was determined to stumble on him, so that he could not attack Chaisang with all his strength.

That's exactly what the potters are happy to see.

In front of Sun Ce's eyes, the hateful face of the potter seemed to appear, how triumphant he was at the moment, looking at him sarcastically and laughing, and he was in a dilemma and helpless.

"Tao thief, you treacherous fellow......" Sun Ce's fist clenched fiercely again.
