Chapter 527: Gathering Together
As Zhou Yu expected, when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu got the news that they were withdrawing from Wanling, Yuan Yao had already led his troops to Huiji County, and Yuan Yao arrived in Huiji with Li Ye, Liu Ye, Wei Yan, Pan Feng, Gan Ning, Yu She, Wen Ping and other civil and military forces and 20,000 troops. Moreover, according to the news, the 10,000 army led by Zang Ba has already arrived in Jiangxia, and in just a few days, he can follow Yuan Yao's route into Jiangdong to Yuan Yao's side, and Yuan Yao, who has 30,000 troops in his hand, is confident that Jiangdong will be taken.
Even if he couldn't take Jiangdong, Yuan Yao could beat Jiangdong to pieces, making it difficult for Sun Ce to get help from many counties in Jiangdong.
However, Yuan Yao also knew that the news that he had taken down Chaisang could not be concealed from Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the strength of the Jiangdong Shuangbi should not be underestimated, Yuan Shu was because he underestimated Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, thinking that these two people were still very young and couldn't afford to turn over any strong winds and waves, so they capsized in the gutter, and once the boat capsized, there was no chance to make up for it, and they were directly calculated and killed by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Yuan Yao honestly didn't expect that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in this time period would become so strong because of their arrival, logically speaking, it is not the peak of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but because of Yuan Yao's arrival, it has brought too many variables to this world, making Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's growth faster than others imagined, and also beyond Yuan Yao's imagination.
According to Yuan Yao's calculations, this should be the place where he and Sun Ce will fight, Yuan Yao knows that it is impossible for him to drive all the way to Wu County, because Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will not sit idly by and watch him go all the way to Wu County. Wu County is Sun Ce's fundamental place, once Wu County is lost, and even as long as Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses can threaten Wu County, Sun Ce's ruling foundation in Jiangdong will be greatly weakened and lose the support of the people.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, once Wu County is threatened, it will be difficult for the people in Jiangdong to believe that Sun Ce can protect them, and their support for Sun Ce will become smaller. Sun Ce couldn't see this, but Zhou Yu could see it, and Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong could also see it, so Yuan Yao knew that he could only successfully reach Huiji at most and start an extremely fierce battle with the Jiangdong Army.
This time, it will be a bloody battle. At the same time, this time Yuan Yao also had the attitude of not beheading Sun Ce and vowing not to return to his teacher. Yuan Shu died at the hands of Sun Ce, whether it was for public or private purposes, Yuan Yao had to bring back Sun Ce's head to enhance his prestige.
Although many of Yuan Shu's subordinates have a close relationship with Yuan Yao, they are not Yuan Yao's people after all, but Yuan Shu's people, and if Yuan Yao wants to take over Yuan Shu's forces, he must get the support of these "old men" under Yuan Shu, so Yuan Yao needs to kill Sun Ce to enhance his prestige.
In the past, Yuan Yao wanted Yuan Shu to sit in that position, but now, Yuan Shu is dead, and all Yuan Yao can do is to fight for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme by himself.
"Ziyang, Shi'an, do you think that Sun Ce is coming soon?"
Liu Ye and Li Ye are both first-class sages in the world, although there is a little gap compared with the top group of people, but they have not been pulled away too much, this time, in order to deal with Zhou Yu, Yuan Yao asked Liu Ye and Li Ye to give advice to themselves, and at the same time let Danyang's Kuai Liang assist outside.
According to Yuan Yao's knowledge, there is only Zhou Yu who can be called a strategist around Zhou Yu now, and as for Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, it is more good at internal affairs, and it is difficult for them to go to the battlefield to give advice. And now, what Yuan Yao has to do is to use Liu Ye and Li Ye as the main players, supplemented by Kuai Liang, to deal with Zhou Yu together.
One-on-one, these three may not be Zhou Yu's opponents, but now that they are on the battlefield, there is never any fairness to talk about, so Yuan Yao just wants to fight three against one.
Liu Ye said: "Calculating the time, it should be these days, but General Huang and General Xu may send troops to contain them, so it may be a little slower, but it won't be too long." ”
Yuan Yao looked at Li Ye again and asked, "Shi'an, have you ever prepared, have you sent the order to Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, and Kuai Liang, and are the three of them willing to obey the order?" ”
Li Ye is now in charge of Yuan Yao's intelligence system, and when Yuan Yao entered Lumenshan Academy to cultivate, he handed over the intelligence work to Li Ye, and Li Ye did not live up to Yuan Yao's expectations, and did a good job of intelligence work.
"Lord, the information has been sent, General Huang, General Xu, and Kuai Taishou are all willing to follow the lord's orders."
"Okay, I'll see what Sun Ce is going to do this time."
Liu Ye's eyes were focused on Li Ye at the moment, and he found that he had underestimated Li Ye a little, judging from the clues that Liu Ye had observed in recent days, Li Ye's intelligence organization had already entangled Yuan Shu's forces, and even many of Yuan Shu's civil and military forces had Li Ye's people around him.
And according to Liu Ye's observation, although Li Ye seems to be quite kind, he is extremely ruthless and ruthless in his heart, and such a person is actually the most suitable person to be in charge of an intelligence organization.
Just when Liu Ye began to think about other things, a knight suddenly rode a horse to Yuan Yao's side and said to Yuan Yao: "My lord, I found the soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong Army in front, waving a banner of 'Sun'. ”
"The word 'Sun' is the banner, it seems that it must be Sun Ce, Wen Chang, you lead my troops to alert me and see if this Sun Ce wants to have an encounter with us."
The knight who came to report the news was Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, Yuan Yao's cronies, and when he heard Yuan Yao's order at this moment, Wei Yan seemed very excited, and quickly rode away. However, Sun Ce's reaction was a little disappointed for Wei Yan, this Wei Yan originally wanted to have a head-on encounter with Sun Ce, but after Sun Ce discovered the whereabouts of Yuan Yao's army, he did not attack immediately, but retreated some distance and set up a large camp, seemingly not wanting to fight Yuan Yao immediately.
Although this is Sun Ce's home field, Yuan Yao is now in the situation of Yuan Shu's death, and even the soldiers and horses led by Yuan Yao are also a mourning army, and Zhou Yu is not willing to start a war with Yuan Yao rashly at this time.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not take the initiative to attack, and Yuan Yao did not take the initiative because of the importance of this battle and the opponent, but like Sun Ce, he chose a suitable place to set up a large camp. However, whether it was Yuan Yao or Sun Ce, they all knew that in the next few days, the bloody battle between them would begin.
