Chapter 458: Sun Jian's counterattack
Danyang County, Jiangdong Army Battalion.
The battle flags with the word "Sun" fluttered in the wind, and the black and red blood stains stained on them were like flowers blooming in the wilderness, which was strange and fascinating.
At this time, in the Jiangdong Army camp, nearly half of the soldiers were wounded, and almost every soldier had a tired look on his face.
A month ago, Yuan Shu suddenly led 30,000 troops, with Yan Xiang as his military advisor, and took Ji Ling, Xu Chu, Xu Ding, Niu Jin, Xing Daorong and other generals to the south, brazenly broke into the border of Yangzhou, and killed all the way to Danyang County. And Sun Jian after getting the news that Yuan Shu entered Yangzhou, he also immediately led 20,000 troops to kill, this month, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu fought several battles in Danyang, in general, Yuan Shu has a first-line advantage, but Sun Jian has also been blocking Yuan Shu in Danyang, and did not let Yuan Shu take another step south.
And this month's fierce battle, Sun Jian's soldiers were also seriously damaged, although he continued to mobilize troops and horses from all over Jiangdong to Danyang to support him, but at this time Sun Jian's soldiers were less than 20,000, and although the opposite Yuan Shu side also suffered a lot of losses, the number of soldiers and horses was still more than 20,000.
In the main tent of the camp, Sun Jian, who was on the back of the tiger, sat on the main seat, and the ancient ingot knife of the holy weapon was placed horizontally beside him, and in front of Sun Jian, there were a group of civil and military officers under his command.
Wu Jing, Zhu Zhi, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao······
In order to be able to block Yuan Shu this time, Sun Jian can be said to have brought most of the civil and military forces under his command, and only Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, Gu Yong and others stayed in the rear and raised grain and grass for Sun Jian's army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Yuan Shu's fang is menacing this time, we have been fighting with him for a month, but he still hasn't retreated, it seems that this time he wants to take Jiangdong and even Yangzhou in one fell swoop, I don't know what you think is good?"
"Big brother, what are you afraid of, our Jiangdong Erlang is also muddy, if he wants to fight Yuan Shu, we will accompany him to fight." As soon as Sun Jian's words fell, Zu Mao stood up and expressed his opinion.
Zu Mao's remarks also aroused the hatred of many generals in the tent at this moment, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Ling Cao and others supported Zu Mao one after another, looking like they were going to fight to the death with Yuan Shu in Danyang this time.
The generals under his command all have the heart to fight to the death with Yuan Shu, which makes Sun Jian feel good, but at this time he is no longer the Jiangdong Tiger who didn't know anything back then, after getting the jade seal of the country, Sun Jian has been participating in the power contained in the jade seal, these years of time finally let him understand a point of mystery, so that his cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, and because of the influence of the jade seal, so that Sun Jian is not only brave, but also calm down and think about some things.
To be honest, in a battle with Yuan Shu, even if Sun Jian is killed in battle, he is not afraid, but now he is not only a Jiangdong Tiger, but also the lord of Jiangdong, and some things cannot be relied on just by his own whim.
Even if Zu Mao and the others looked like they were going to fight Yuan Shu to the death, Sun Jian didn't speak, at this time Wu Jing stood up and said to Zu Mao and the others: "Generals, I know your feelings, but Yuan Shu is not so easy to deal with, if Yuan Shu can be beaten out of Jiangdong with just one blood, we will not fight so many games with him in Danyang." And the most important one now is that Yuan Shu can afford to lose, but we can't afford to lose. ”
Seeing that Zu Mao and the others were about to break out, Wu Jing was not angry, and said: "Yuan Shu now holds most of Yuzhou and Jingzhou and Xuzhou, which are all rich lands, and there is no need to worry about food and grass at all, and we can't, the land of Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and it is a big deal for Yuan Shu to withdraw from Jiangdong if he loses, but once we lose, Jiangdong will fall into the hands of Yuan Shu, which is not what we want to see, so what we have to do now is to do everything we can to ensure victory, instead of fighting Yuan Shu to the death with just blood." ”
Zu Mao was also angered by Wu Jing's words at this time, and said unkindly: "Lord Wu, what do you mean?" ”
Zu Mao is Sun Jian's sworn brother, and Wu Jing is Sun Jian's brother-in-law, and the relationship between the two parties is actually not bad, but now Zu Mao uses an honorific title for Wu Jing, which shows that Zu Mao is really angry with Wu Jing's words.
Wu Jing glanced at Sun Jian at this time, and then said: "Jiangdong is our territory, although Yuan Shu has more troops in Danyang than us now, but we are definitely not familiar with Danyang, let alone the hearts of the people in Danyang, this is our advantage." In my opinion, we should use our familiarity with the terrain of Danyang to lure Yuan Shu to divide his troops and break them one by one, and it is best to lure Yuan Shu out and kill him. ”
Zu Mao said with some disdain at this time: "After all, it's not about fighting. ”
Wu Jing glanced at Zu Mao with some annoyance, as if he was dissatisfied with Zu Mao's demolition, and said: "Of course we want to fight, how to expel Yuan Shu from Yangzhou if we don't fight, but how to fight this and where to fight, that is, we need to plan well and maximize the chances of victory before the war." ”
Sun Jian also saw at this time that there were only a few people such as Wu Jing and Zhu Zhi who could provide him with advice at this moment, and others like Zu Mao could not play any role in this kind of occasion for discussing the battle plan except for making trouble.
This time, Yuan Shu entered Jiangdong without saying anything, which made Sun Jian very angry, and after fighting with Yuan Shu in Danyang for a month, Sun Jian began to prepare to fight back. Jiangdong is his territory, how can he let the initiative be in Yuan Shu's hands all the time?
And the other reason that made Sun Jian determined to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shu was that the news that Yuan Yao led his troops into Jiangxia had reached Sun Jian. Only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were in Jiangxia, and the lineup in Yuan Yao's hands was even stronger than the army led by Yuan Shu, so in order to be able to solve the danger of Jiangxia, Sun resolutely decided to defeat Yuan Shu first, and then diverted to Jiangxia. Otherwise, if the time is dragged down, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu alone will definitely not be able to hold Jiangxia.
What Sun Jian didn't know was that now Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had retreated to Chaisang to hold on, but due to the distance, the news had not yet reached Sun Jian, otherwise Sun Jian might not be in a hurry to fight Yuan Shu at this time.
But no matter what the reason is, now Sun Jian has made up his mind to launch a counterattack against Yuan Shu, knock Yuan Shu out of Jiangdong, and then go to Jiangxia to support Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, defend his rule over the land of Jiangdong, and let the people of the world know that the master of the land of Jiangdong is himself. Anyone, no matter who it is, dares to think about the land of Koto, and he must bear his own wrath.
