Chapter 172: Best Partner
Han Xuan's army marched for more than a month, and finally arrived in Danyang County, Han Xuan led the army to Jing County to join Chen Wu, and Gan Ning also led the army to Wuhu to join Jiang Qin's army.
Chen Wu was taken aback when he saw Han Xuan bring so many soldiers and horses, and said with great joy: "Big brother, are you going to fight Sun Ce in a decisive battle?" Great, I've wanted to do it for a long time! ”
Han Xuan nodded and said, "Sun Ce is a thorn in my eye, this time I want to beat him to death!" ”
Han Xuan convened his strategists and generals to discuss how to contain Sun Ce's pace of attacking Huiji.
Gu Yong pointed to the map to explain the current situation in Jiangdong to Zhong Xuan and Chen Qun, Chen Qun thought for a while and said: "Lord, I thought that Tai Shici could send troops from the end of the day to guard Wusheng County to block Sun Ce's army. The lord led a large army to besiege Wanling from Jing County. ”
Han Xuanyong walked to the front of the hanging map, pointed to Wanling City with his finger and said, "Although Wanling is strong, the moat is wide. However, my tens of thousands of troops pressed the border, and there was no talent of Zhou Yu that week, so I could only use my mantis arm as a car. Sun Ce's heavy troops were in the northern counties of Danyang, and he sent people to send orders to Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, asking them to lead the naval army to stop Sun Ce's army from supporting Wanling in the south at all costs. Wanling City, this time I am bound to win! ”
Zhou Shan also deployed carrier pigeon communication networks in various parts of Danyang during this time, and quickly passed Han Xuan's military orders to Gan Ning and Tai Shici at this time. The two immediately deployed separately, Gan Ning ordered his soldiers to wait for the day to closely monitor the surface of Lishui, and Tai Shici also received the military rations obtained from Tuntian to the wounded.
The latest battle report came that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led the army to capture the county town of Huiji, and because Yan Baihu desperately led the crowd to resist, Sun Ce's army suffered heavy casualties. Yan Baihu led the defeated army to retreat to Shangyu, and stationed in a deep ditch and high fortress. Sun Ce was furious and prepared to slaughter the city in Huiji County.
Zhou Yu dissuaded: "Brother Bofu, don't do this. If the city is slaughtered today, it will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack the counties of Huiji in the future! ”
Sun Ce pushed Zhou Yu away: "Gong Jin, don't say much." Now that Han Xuan's army is attacking our rear and slaughtering one city and descending ten cities, only by slaughtering the city will make the counties of Huiji frightened and dare not fight against our army, can we quickly end the war in Huiji and return to the division to rescue. ”
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have always felt very tired when they march and fight together, and Sun Ce has taken the lead to boost morale, although he also uses some second-rate tactics from time to time, which Zhou Yu can see through at a glance. It's just that Sun Ce always likes to pretend to be profound, and Zhou Yu has no choice but to forcibly lower his IQ and echo Sun Ce.
The two of them fought in Jiangdong with one article and one martial arts, and they were all facing small roles, and Sun Cejun should have broken everything. Sun Ce has always been very open-minded, but why is his IQ not online when he meets Han Xuan at this time?
Zhou Yu no longer forcibly dissuaded Sun Ce, and said to Sun Ce: "Han Xuan's army will inevitably take Wanling first, and then occupy all the counties of Danyang. My uncle only had 8,000 soldiers and horses to defend Wanling, and Yu asked to lead his troops back to rescue my uncle. ”
Sun Ce kept Zhou Yu and said: "Gong Jin, now that the counties of Huiji are about to be broken, our army has suffered heavy losses in soldiers and horses, and it is not appropriate to storm it, Gong Jin, please stay and offer advice to help me attack the city and pull out the village." Don't worry, my cousin Sun Benzi in Danyang counties will send troops to rescue! ”
Sun Ce ordered the slaughter of the city, Huang Gai ordered people to close the city gates, and the thief captain Ling Cao and Sun He and others led the army to slaughter in the city, men, women and children. The wails in San'in City were endless, and Sun Ce's soldiers laughed wildly to vent their bestiality on the women, and then killed them.
The people in the city watched in horror as Sun Cejun, the so-called benevolent and righteous army, actually slaughtered the city here. They thought that Sun Ce led the army to drive away Yan Baihu and the other thieves, and they could live a good life for a few days, but they didn't expect Sun Cejun to be the real bandits!
"Twins! No! An old man tried to pounce on her ten-year-old granddaughter, but two Sun Ce soldiers stopped him, and he watched his granddaughter be defiled by the demons. Sergeant Sun Ce killed the old man and his granddaughter, then set fire to their house and continued to run to the next house to do evil.
Sun Cejun slaughtered the city for two days, and all the chickens and dogs in the city were exhausted, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses were piled up in mountains. More than 20,000 civilians were killed. When the people of the counties of Huiji County heard that Sun Ce used the slaughter of the city to coerce the counties to surrender, the people were panicked, some advocated the surrender of Kaecheng to avoid being slaughtered, and some shouted that they would fight to the death with Sun Ce's army and resist to the end.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led their troops to Shangyu, and Yan Baihu sent his brother Yan Yu to sue for peace, and Sun Ce agreed. When Yan Yu met with Sun Ce, Sun Ce pulled out an ancient ingot knife and slashed at Yan Yu's seat, Yan Yu's body shook when he saw it, and he dodged.
Sun Ce looked at him with an embarrassed face, and said to Yan Yu with a smile: "I heard that you can sit and jump and be agile, so I'm just joking with you." ”
Yan Yu let out a cold sweat and replied to Sun Ce: "If you see a blade, you will become like this." Don't blame General Wangbofu. ”
Sun Ce heard his words, and snorted coldly in his heart, I wanted to accept you to fight for me, but I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, and you are really a useless person. Sun Ce quietly took out the halberd and threw it at Yan Yu, who was hit by a halberd on the head and fell to the ground and died on the spot.
After Yan Yu was killed by Sun Ce, Yan Baihu and his generals were very frightened when they heard about it. Yan Yu is known as having the courage of ten thousand people in the army, he was actually killed by Sun Ce, how powerful Sun Ce is, Yan Baihu's soldiers are so frightened that they have no heart to fight.
Sun Ce ordered Zhou Yu to lead an army to attack the city, but Yan Baihu couldn't resist it, so he had to abandon the city and go to Yuhang to join Xu Zhao. Cheng Pu said to Sun Ce: "Lord, the Yan Bai Tiger Thieves are gone, when will they wait if they don't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time?" ”
Zhou Yu retorted: "General Cheng Pu's words are wrong, there are only more than 1,000 people left in Yan Baihu's army, and Xu Zhao has few soldiers, so there is no need to worry. The top priority of our army is to pacify Huiji County as soon as possible, and then return to the division to fight a decisive battle with Han Xuanjun. ”
Cheng Pu squinted at Zhou Yu and snorted coldly: "The erection is not enough and the plan!" ”
"That's enough, don't argue anymore. A certain has its own calculations. Xu Zhao is righteous to the old monarch, sincere to the old friend, and the ambition of this husband. I will not lead the army to attack it, and appease its heart, so that Xu Zhao and Yan Baihu are suspicious. Our army continues to advance, and the troops are sent to Yuyao! Sun Ce stopped the argument between Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu, and then made his decision.
Sun Ce led the army to Yuyao County twenty miles away, this place is called Gaoqian Pavilion, Sun Ce saw a strong man leading hundreds of people in front of them to block their way, specially came to report to Sun Ce. After Sun Ce met with that person, he learned that he was Zhu Hao's old general Dong Xian, who returned to his hometown Huiji after Zhu Hao was killed by Zhen Rong, and when he learned that Sun Ce's army had arrived, he led his troops to defect.
Sun Ce saw that Dong attacked the five major and three coarse, and his courage was outstanding, so he accepted him as a general, appointed him as a thief Cao, and crusaded against the Shanyue departments in Huiji County for him.
Sun Ce slaughtered the city and established his authority, Yuyao, Juzhang and other counties surrendered one after another, and Cao Yu, a subordinate of Wang Lang, said in the future: "Sun Ce is good at using troops, so it is better to avoid his front for the time being." ”
Wang Lang said righteously: "Sun Ce slaughtered innocent people, how can I, as a county guard, sit idly by? Zhou Xin was ordered to send troops to Guling to resist Sun Ce. ”
Sun Ce's massacre of the city aroused the anger of the people of Huiji, who supported Wang Lang's army for money and food, and young and middle-aged people joined the army to resist Sun Ce's army. The people of Huiji and Wang Lang shared the same enemy, Sun Ce's army fell into the quagmire of the Huiji battlefield, and Sun Ce crossed the water several times and fought but could not capture Guling.
Han Xuan laughed when he heard the news of Sun Ce's slaughter of the city: "Sun Ce is a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, although he slaughtered the city, several cities surrendered at one time. However, the eyes of the masses are bright, and after the people recognize Sun Ce's true face, they will fight to the death. ”
Chen Wu also smiled: "This Sun Ce still wants to imitate Xiang Yu and slaughter one city and descend ten cities." The good ones didn't learn, but the bad ones he did. Big brother, you said that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are the best partners, I think they are not as good as you and me, no matter how powerful Zhou Yu is, there is a pig teammate! ”
