Chapter 111: The wall falls down and everyone pushes it
Crossing is awesome, and the heroes of the world will bow down? The ancients taught you how to be a man in minutes.
Anyway, the more Sun Ce thought about it, the more scared he became. If it weren't for the fact that he had been a little hesitant about whether to let Cao Cao go, watching him go down the mountain, and not giving Cao Cao a chance to attack, even if he had the golden silk brocade armor, he would not be able to carry an arrow from the three-stone crossbow, and he would have become a member of the list of the dead army of the traversers at this moment.
Seeing that Sun Ce's face was not good, Yuan Shu did not say any more. "So, the dwarf won't come down?"
Sun Ce retracted his mind and shook his head.
"It's a bit of a problem." Yuan Shu tugged at his short beard and frowned. "Wancheng is strong, but it is not comparable to Xiangyang. There were originally more than 10,000 people in the city, and now there are more than 5,000 of Cao Cao's troops, and the number of troops is only a lot more than ours. How can this be played? ”
Sun Ce didn't think there was anything difficult about Wancheng, he and Zhou Yu had already prepared, but he didn't want Yuan Shu to think that he was too powerful, and it was better for Zhou Yu to show up for this kind of thing. Talent like **, must have, but it does not have to be exposed to others, let alone anytime and anywhere, lest people do not know.
Yuan Shu was obviously more inclined to listen to Zhou Yu's suggestion, and immediately sent someone to invite Zhou Yu in. After Sun Ce returned to the camp, he saw Zhou Yu for the first time, and Zhou Yu also knew that Yuan Shu would summon him, so he had been waiting in the tent for a long time. came to Yuan Shu, in front of Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun and others, he talked eloquently.
In fact, the plan is not complicated. Sun Jian had already rushed to Yuzhou, and would control Yuzhou with the cooperation of the Yellow Turban Army, unite with Tao Qian in Xuzhou in the east, and focus on controlling the two counties of Yingchuan and Runan in the west, cutting off Cao Cao's retreat. Yuan Shu's task is very simple, in addition to arranging people to take over the counties of Jingzhou and stabilize the base, the rest is to recapture Wancheng.
Wancheng is very strong, but no matter how strong the city is, it needs people to defend it. It was not Cao Cao who decided the gains and losses of Wancheng, but the powerful family of Wancheng. Yuan Shu has long been dissatisfied with these families. These people relied on their own strength, ignored Yuan Shu, did not give food or soldiers, and made Yuan Shu sit in a large county with a population of more than 2 million, but only 20,000 county soldiers in his hands, which could not be compared with Yuan Shao at all, and was a little stronger than Cao Cao.
In the past, he couldn't tear his face, but now that the opportunity has come, Nanyang's family Haoqiang tore his face first, and Yuan Shu was naturally happy to throw the mask aside, take out the true colors of the ghosts in the road, and rob them well.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were designed by others and tried their best to encourage Yuan Shu to do a big job. Their plan is very simple, didn't the family of Wancheng betray Yuan Shu, support Cao Cao, and occupy Wancheng, you are hiding in Wancheng, I can't catch it, but most of your industry is outside the city. What is the foundation of the family's strength? Manor. Do you have what it takes to move the manor to Wancheng? No.
Well, one counts as one, and those who surrender are not to blame for the past. If you don't surrender, I will occupy your estate, capture your family and your tribes, and forcibly conscript them into the army. If you dare to kill one, I will kill ten, and see who is ruthless.
This strategy is very temperamental to Yuan Shu, and the only question is whether he can break through the manor in time.
Nanyang's family is stronger than Xiangyang's family, and the heritage is thicker, and the century-old family Xi is considered a top family in Xiangyang, but it is inconspicuous in Nanyang. Most of the heroes who founded the country from Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu were Nanyang people, and their estates were not only large, but also sturdy, and by no means comparable to the manors of the Cai family. To put it mildly, it was simply a small city, even if the Yellow Turban Army swept the world, even when Wancheng was occupied by them, the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to attack those manors easily.
There are too many troops to take care of. There are fewer troops, and they can't be defeated. The Yellow Turban Army of more than 100,000 people finally occupied only one Wancheng, and now Yuan Shu only has more than 10,000 people, how can he divide the troops?
In this regard, Zhou Yu had already prepared, and Sun Ce made a grand appearance. In front of Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang and others, Sun Ce patted his chest and said, don't worry, give me ten days, and I will guarantee to capture the strongest manor in Wanxian County.
Yan Xiang looked at Sun Ce silently, his eyes looked like idiots.
Yuan Shu was also a little suspicious. "How many people do you want?"
"Just let Huang Zhongbu follow me, and the rest of the people will be commanded by the general."
Sun Ce's generosity touched Yuan Shu very much. When Sun Jian went to Yuzhou, he only took with him the 10,000 people he brought from Changsha, and the more than 10,000 people he stole from Wang Rui and Zhang Zhi were all left. Sun Ce brought more than 3,000 people from Xiangyang, and Huang Zhongbu plus the 2,000 people under his direct command, he only needed less than 4,000, and the remaining 8,900 people were all given to Yuan Shu.
"This ...... Is it enough? "Yuan Shu is worried." The largest manor in Wan County also has two or three thousand people. ”
Sun Ce was confident. "A rabble, no matter how much you come, it's also a dish. General, tell me who to hit first. ”
Yuan Shu didn't think twice. "Of course that's the He family."
Sun Ce was slightly stunned, and then remembered what Cao Cao said. "So the great general He Jin?"
Yuan Shu sighed. "Although He Jin's time of being a dignitary is not long, it is not a small disaster, and he cannot escape the blame for the fact that the big man has come to this point. If it weren't for his indecisiveness and entanglement with the eunuchs, why would he lead Dong Zhuo and others into Beijing, and how could Luoyang be burned to the ground by Dong Zhuo. He Jin died innocently, but his son He Xian blamed me Yuan. When I first arrived in Nanyang, I sent someone to invite him, but he closed the door, and now Cao Cao entered Wancheng, but he was the first to respond. Since you want to make an example of a hundred, let's start from the family. ”
Sun Ce looked around and saw that Yan Xiang and the others were silent, not even a single one of them spoke, and he seemed to have a mirror in his heart. Don't look at Yuan Shu's seriousness, but there is actually only one reason why He Xian really deserves to die: the He family is from a poor family. He Jin actually died at the hands of the Yuan family, and now that he has the opportunity to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of the He family, how can Yuan Shu let it go. said that it was a blow to the family Haoqiang, who would have thought that the first to move was a nouveau riche, and no one mentioned the real family Haoqiang.
The trees fell and scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them. He Jin is dead, and the young emperor is also deposed, so there will be no trouble with the He family. No wonder He Jin's grandson He Yan didn't go to Yuan Shao, but became Cao Cao's fake son, it's all fate. Sun Ce suddenly felt that it was right to let Cao Cao go. He wants to deal with the family Haoqiang only out of the consideration of the general trend, but Cao Cao has personal feelings to deal with the family Haoqiang, and he is more urgent than him.
"Okay, I'll go at once. Within ten days, I will break through the He family and bring the people, wealth, and goods of the He family to the general. ”
Yuan Shu was very satisfied, stood up, pressed Sun Ce's shoulder, and his eyes were strange. "Bo Fu, I am waiting for your good news. Be careful, although He Jin has only been a general for a few years, he is very greedy for ink, and the manor is very strong. You do your best, don't force it. If the troops are insufficient, send someone to deliver a message, and I will personally lead troops to reinforce you. ”
Sun Ce smiled and nodded, looked around, and was about to impassionedly express his determination to win, but found that Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun and others had complicated eyes, some were indignant, some sighed, and some shook their heads with regret.
Sun Ce didn't know why. I didn't see you talk just now, but now what's wrong with them one by one, my conscience finds out, why do I regret it? He arched his hand.
"General, I have a request."
"Speak."
"When attacking Wancheng, I must come."
"Why?" Yuan Shu was curious.
Sun Ce gritted his teeth. "I'm going to cut that bastard Cao Cao with my own hands."
Yuan Shu exchanged a look with Yan Xiang and the others, and laughed proudly. "Okay, I promise you."
