Chapter 154: An Unexpected Result

Could it be that Sun Ce knew that there was no solution to the poison in his body, so he chose to die on the battlefield as his final destination?

The first wave of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had penetrated the Jiangdong Army's central army, and then Zhang Xiujun's heavy cavalry divided the Jiangdong Army into two parts of their respective battles.

Of course, the tactical arrangement of the Jiangdong Army's weak center and strong wings was the main reason why the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was able to easily tear apart the Jiangdong Army's formation.

In this battle, the strength of Sun Cejun and Zhang Xiujun was very different, Sun Cejun was bound to lose before the war, but this battle had to be fought.

If he was reluctant to give up the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, most of whom were wounded, then Sun Ce had to lead the main force of the 40,000 Jiangdong Army, which had just experienced the Battle of Wanling and had not yet recovered its commanding strength, to have a life-and-death decisive battle with Zhang Xiu.

However, the current situation is that Sun Cejun's military supplies and grain and grass supply have been cut off as early as more than a month ago when Zhang Xiu attacked Niuzhu. If it weren't for the fact that he took Yuzhang County, which had a lot of land and grain, without spending a single soldier at that time, Sun Cejun might not have been able to go to Danyang Wanling when he returned to Jiangdong.

Although Zhang Xiu's sneak attack on the alliance made the Sun Group's civil and military collectives disgusted, from Sun Ce himself, down to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Jiangdong civil and military forces, no one did not exclaim that Zhang Xiu was ruthless. If you don't do it, it's enough, but if you do it, it's a direct hit to the vital place.

In the first battle of the first expedition to Jiangdong, he took Niuzhu, the throat of Jiangdong, and controlled the waterway connection between Jiangdong and Yuzhang. On the other hand, it also revealed the sinister intentions of recruiting Zu Xun and Tai Shici at the beginning. He used Zu Xun, who was familiar with the Danyang Prefectures, to cut off the possible connection between Wu County and Sun Cejun's main force, and also took advantage of the good relationship between Tai Shici and Shanyue at the beginning, and lured the Shanyue tribe who had always been dissatisfied with Sun Wu to attack and block the connection from Huiji County to Yuzhang County.

There is no doubt that Zhang Xiu is an enemy who thinks far and does not care about the means. An important part of his plan to lure the tiger out of the nest was to cut off the supply of grain and military supplies to the main force of the Jiangdong Army. You retreat and I chase, you fight and I defend, wait until your grain and grass are almost consumed, wait until the Jiangdong lands are lost, and wait until the 20,000 rear army of Qiaorui arrives, Zhang Xiu will directly solve the main force of Sun Cejun at one time with an absolute advantage!

Therefore, don't say that it is not necessary for Sun Cejun to abandon these 10,000 soldiers and horses in Lingyang, although it can only be exchanged for a few days, it is enough for Sun Cejun's remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses who are still healthy to withdraw to the area of Yuzhang County that has not yet been occupied by Huang Zu. After all, Sun Ce also left Sun Ben and Sun Fu brothers in Yuzhang County, just to prevent a situation like today's. Otherwise, if he was attacked by Zhang Xiu and Sun's old feud Jingzhou Huangzu back and forth, it would really be over.

The only thing that Sun Ce's army did not need was that Sun Ce personally led this battle, and Huang Gai, Chen Wu and several other Jiangdong Dongliang generals would rather die than flee in this defeated battle!

There is really no need, unless the rabies virus in Sun Ce's body has entered the onset stage from the incubation period, there is really no need for Sun Ce to stay and fight Zhang Xiu.

Because in the eyes of Zhang Xiu and even Zhang Xiujun and Sun Cejun, Sun Ce is the hope that the Sun family can compete in the world.

While panting, Zhang Xiu kept looking at Sun Ce, who was fighting with Li Feng in the field.

I couldn't observe it before. But by now, Zhang Xiujun has achieved an overwhelming advantage. The entire central area of the battlefield was controlled by Zhang Xiujun. Li Feng and Sun Ce are now surrounded by hundreds of Zhang Xiujun's heavily armored shieldmen kneeling inward, holding their shields inward to form a warning circle with a radius of ten meters, and hundreds of crossbowmen are standing behind their shields, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The so-called emergency situation is that Zhang Xiu was afraid that Li Feng would lose to Sun Ce, so Sun Ce hurt his cronies and loved generals.

But Zhang Xiu seemed to be too worried, although the two armies on the entire battlefield had decided the victory, although Sun Ce's cadres were either dead or captured, but this Sun Ce still has not been able to play the level he should have, fighting from the horse to the ground, but he has never been able to defeat Li Feng.

Even, Li Feng is becoming more and more courageous, from the cautious and cautious horse battle at the beginning, to the two of them holding each other's spears and falling off their horses and fighting, Li Feng is fighting more and more fiercely, and the more he fights, the more he opens.

Li Feng can fight like this, and fools have to wonder if Sun Ce himself is behind the bronze mask.

It is true that Sun Cejun Daxu, who had just been cut down not long ago, but this does not mean that Sun Ce is in Lingyang.

Thinking about the generals of the Jiangdong Army in this battle, most of them were generals of the local factions in Jiangdong. For example, Song Qian, Dong attacked, Chen Wuling, and Deng Dang, all of whom seemed to be from Jiangdong Haoqiang, and the only one who was a veteran of Sun Cejun was only Huang Gai, as for Cheng Puhan, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other Jiangdong tiger ministers, they had never met in this battle!

At this time, Tai Shici, who had just been exhausted from fighting Chen Wu, ignored several knife wounds on his body and insisted on rushing into the shield array to compete with Sun Ce. It's just that he glanced at the masked Sun Ce, who was fighting with Li Feng, but scolded loudly: "This guy is not Sun Ce at all, no matter how bad Sun Bofu is, he won't be exhausted and short of breath after fighting for half an hour!" ”

Li Feng in the field heard Tai Shici's shout, but he was in his heart. After a few more deliberate strong attacks, he finally picked off Sun Ce's copper mask.

A face as old as Sun Ce appeared in front of everyone. Zhang Xiu and Tai Shici exclaimed together at the first time: "Sun He!? ”

That's right, the bright armor and golden helmet wearing who commanded more than a dozen Jiangdong generals such as Huang Gai Chen Wu and tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers were actually not Sun Ce himself, but Sun Ce's brother and confidant Sun He!

Zhang Xiu rode alone to Jiangdong and saw Sun He in Sun Ce's mansion. But Tai Shici dealt with Sun He under Liu Xuan.

Seeing that behind the copper mask was Sun He, who was similar in figure and appearance to Sun Ce, Tai Shici's first reaction was just disappointment, while Zhang Xiu closed his eyes and muttered in his mouth: "It's time for Huang Zu to be unlucky!" ”

Sun He was finally killed in battle by Li Feng, the first general of Huainan. When he was dying, Sun He only said two words.

The first sentence was said to Li Feng, who was fighting: "Isn't it that the rebellious general has very heavy armor and wears this foot-holding mask, I will definitely be able to defeat you!" ”

The second sentence was a clean shot by the angry Li Feng, Sun He tried his last strength to take out a silk letter from his chest, and said to Zhang Xiu: "Before the rebellious general marched eastward, he said that the Jiangdong foundation was taken away, he didn't blame you, but it's a pity that your means of killing him were too ......."

Zhang Xiu took the silk book in Sun Ce's handwriting with one hand, but he only read a paragraph hastily, but his expression suddenly frowned, and he held the silk book tightly with both hands, and he didn't dare to read it word by word. When I saw the end, I was covered in cold sweat.

If there is one word that can describe Zhang Xiu's mood at this time, then this word must be "liver and gall split"!

Because the content of Sun Ce's book on silk is too shocking. The degree of shock is second only to Zhang Xiu's knowledge that there are traversers like him in this world.

The general meaning in Sun Cebo's book is that, in fact, he did not really ally ally with Zhang Xiu to go west to Liu Biao! Sun Ce's real intention of meeting with Zhang Xiu on the north and south banks of Peng Xinze (Poyang Lake) was that when Zhang Xiu's main force attacked Jiangxia Huangzu, he would cross the river and go north to destroy Zhang Xiu's main force of 120,000 troops in one fell swoop, so as to easily take the land of Huainan!

However, this is not all that makes Zhang Xiu's heart break. What really made Zhang Xiu's heart break was that Sun Ce also told Zhang Xiu in the silk book that in fact, the initiator of his attack on Huainan was Yuan Shao who was far away in Hebei!

As the saying goes, people are dying, and their words are good! There is no doubt that Sun Ce opened up to Zhang Xiu when he knew his fate soon and the situation in Jiangdong was irreversible.

Sun Ce bluntly expressed his thirst for the cause of the king in the silk book, and bluntly expressed his desire to enter the Central Plains in the north, raid Xuchang, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Therefore, although the strategy of advancing west into Jingzhou and using Zhang Xiu as a northern barrier was safe and supported by most of the Jiangdong civil and military forces, Sun Ce still chose the plan of crossing the river north to attack Huainan when he gathered troops in Yuzhang County.

This bold decision is due to Sun Ce's own ambition. Second, it was because Yuan Shao extended an olive branch to him!

That's right, in fact, Yuan Shao directly contacted Sun Ce with one million Hu grain and grass that had been shipped to Huainan and another two million Hu grain and grass promised, asking him to go north to the Central Plains and create a flank attack on Cao Cao with Hebei.

If he can obtain 3 million grains and grass without much effort, Sun Ce will be able to rely on the vast Jiangdong Huainan armed army of 100,000 people! Race the world, just around the corner!

It's just that Sun Ce has made a lot of calculations, but he still missed a little. That is, he didn't expect Zhang Xiu to be "invariably" the same as him, and at the same time fell in love with the other party's territory! And Zhang Xiu's hand is even darker! Faster! More ruthless!

Of course, Zhang Xiu, who thought she had experienced growth, did not count this.

Zhang Xiu knew very well at the moment that if this silk book was given to others. Then most of the others will only think that Sun Ce is an "afterthought", and he is deliberately sticking gold on himself after being defeated. There is no such coincidence in the world, as if two people who have no vendetta form an alliance that would have been happy for all, but the two people were all thinking about how to get each other's property from the beginning. How can this kind of thing happen in reality, the so-called human nature is inherently good, and if you want to be evil, at most one person is evil, how can it be that both people have ghosts in their hearts.

But at this moment, Zhang Xiu is determined to be a hardcore believer in Xunqing.

Everyone in this world doesn't know, but what Zhang Xiu knows as a traverser is that the reason why Liu Xun, who was entrenched between Jianghuai and Huai in history, lost the territory of Lujiang County. It was because Sun Ce sent people to contact Liu Xun to send troops to attack Yuzhang to seize the money and grain, and when Liu Xun led his troops to cross the river, Sun Ce directly blitzed Liu Xun's old nest Lujiang halfway!

I thought I was a smart person, but in fact, in the end, I could only be regarded as a person with shit luck this time. A really smart person is afraid that when he dies, he will also bear the name of a careless loss of Jiangdong's foolishness.

In the silk book, Sun Ce also mentioned the battle of Lingyang today, and mentioned the tactical deployment of the Jiangdong Army today.

The 10,000 Jiangdong Army was defeated in less than an hour. In fact, it was not that Sun Cejun couldn't hold out for an hour, but because Sun Ce's lineup layout in this battle accelerated the speed of Sun Cejun's defeat.

The tactical arrangement of the Chinese army with many wounded and weak soldiers and many elite soldiers and spearmen on both wings will make Zhang Xiujun's iron cavalry better break through the Chinese army and tear Sun Cejun's army into left and right halves. However, because Zhang Xiujun's army generally adopts the elite of the Chinese army and the ordinary formation deployment of the two wings, the Jiangdong Army's method of responding to the battle can make the Jiangdong Army on both wings unexpectedly cause greater damage to Zhang Xiujun.

Imagine, if Sun Cejun and Zhang Xiujun fought a decisive battle under the equal military strength, Sun Ce used this "Tian Ji Horse Racing" method to deal with Zhang Xiujun, but it could be miraculous, and even win in the absence of effective cavalry to suppress the charge!

It's like this. The Jiangdong Army, which has only 10,000 soldiers and horses, no matter how it is deployed, the Chinese army will always be broken by Zhang Xiujun's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Zhang Xiujun's consistent combat method is to strive to tear the enemy apart. So instead of competing tough, it is better to put the disabled and old division in the Chinese army and let it pierce and tear. However, relying on the elite soldiers and strong generals of these two wings, against the two wings of Zhang Xiujun's mediocre combat strength, it was possible to achieve ideal results. If the troops are sufficient, they can form a left-right flank attack, so as to defeat Zhang Xiu's army.

Sun Ce bluntly said in the silk book that this tactic was originally left in the Central Plains to fight against the infantry and cavalry army with all the northern forces when fighting the world, and it may also be used for Zhang Xiu, but now it seems that there is no chance to win Zhang Xiu.

Therefore, at the end of the silk book, Sun Ce opened the skylight and said to Zhang Xiu when he clearly said that he relied on Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in Changsha, to solve Zhang Xiu's Gu poison in the Western Regions, but he couldn't cure another strange poison planted by Zhang Xiu and knew that he would die:

He doesn't blame Zhang Xiu for taking away his Jiangdong foundation, nor does he blame Zhang Xiu for robbing him of his dreams and ambitions to compete in the world, and he doesn't blame Zhang Xiu for putting him to death, he just hopes that Zhang Xiu will take into account everything he got today, including the silk book that Zhang Xiu is holding in his hand now. In the end, he, Sun Ce, only made an unreasonable request to Zhang Xiu for the bloodline of the Sun family.
