Chapter 471: The Battle of Danyang Ends
Zhou Tai could naturally hear the threat in Ji Ling's words, if he Zhou Tai didn't see a good situation, he would accept it and leave with the corpses of Sun Jian and the others, but choose to continue fighting here, Yuan Shu's side would turn himself into a cold corpse.
Zhou Tai knew that Ji Ling's words were not false, with the strength of Yuan Shu's side, to be honest, it was not difficult to keep him Zhou Tai here, and even as long as Yuan Shu's side was willing to pay a little price, he could be completely besieged here.
Placing the bodies of Sun Jian, Huang Gai, and Han Dang on the back of the black-armored crocodile, Zhou Tai carried the wave-breaking knife, forcibly suppressed his desire to make a move, jumped on the black-armored crocodile, and then drove the black-armored crocodile to turn around and leave without saying a word. Yuan Shujun's soldiers did not stop Zhou Tai's movements under Ji Ling's orders, and even made way for Zhou Tai.
After Zhou Tai left with the corpses of Sun Jian, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, Ji Ling also let down his guard and ordered loudly: "The whole army listens to the order, cleans the battlefield, and rescues the wounded." ”
Although Yuan Shujun can be said to have won a big victory this time, the losses are not small, especially when Sun Jian led the Tiger Guard to break out, Yuan Shu directly sent a large number of ordinary soldiers to block in front of the Tiger Guard, just to buy time for the raid of the Golden Blood Cavalry, although the final plan was successful, but Sun Jian and the Tiger Guard also made Yuan Shujun lose a lot, it is estimated that after this battle, Yuan Shujun can immediately go to the battlefield There are only more than 10,000 people left. Nearly half of the casualties were killed, and although there were not many soldiers who actually died on the spot, there were still many soldiers who lost their ability to fight.
However, Yuan Shu didn't care about these casualties, as a son of a family who thought he was noble, Yuan Shu didn't care about the casualties of his subordinates, he cared about when he would be able to take the entire territory of Danyang. Although Sun Jian has been killed by them, and the Jiangdong Army's troops in Danyang have also suffered heavy losses, there is still a lot of strength on the side of the Jiangdong Army in Danyang, and it is not easy to take it.
On the land after the bloody battle, Yuan Shu rode the Snow Shadow Horse and walked on this land soaked in countless blood, and Yan Xiang, Ji Ling, and Xu Chu also accompanied Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang and asked, "Zixuan, you said that if we drive straight in and kill Wu Jun now, will we have a chance to take Wu Jun?" ”
Yan Xiang shook his head slightly after thinking about it for a while, and said: "Lord, this matter is not easy, although most of the main force of the Jiangdong Army has been lost now, and Sun Jian has been beheaded by our army, but it is precisely because of this that if our army persecuts too much at this moment, I am afraid that it will arouse the hatred of the same enemy in Jiangdong, and then our army may encounter unimaginable resistance." ”
Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Zixuan, do you mean that even if we defeat Sun Jian here, we can't take advantage of the victory to pursue it?" ”
Facing Yuan Shu's question, Yan Xiang smiled slightly: "Lord, this is not the case, although at this time, increasing the offensive against Jiangdong may arouse the common hatred of all the forces in Jiangdong, but if we are not bad, it is not a good thing, the subordinates mean that we take advantage of the great victory to take Danyang, and then make a posture of entering Wu County, but do not send troops, causing a kind of pressure on the people of the rest of Jiangdong." ”
Yuan Shu somewhat understood what Yan Xiang meant, but he didn't know very well, so he had to look at Yan Xiang again.
Yan Xiang also understood Yuan Shu's doubts at this time, and explained: "Sun Jian's territory is the land of the six counties of Jiangdong, namely Wu County, Danyang County, Huiji County, Yuzhang County, Lujiang County and Luling County. ”
Yan Xiang glanced at Yuan Shu at this moment, and continued: "The lord is the concubine of the Yuan clan in Runan, with the prestige of the lord now, the major families in Jiangdong do not say that they welcome each other, but in the case of the lord attacking Jiangdong, unless these families are Sun Jian's diehards, they dare not openly oppose the lord. ”
"Sun Jian's ability to sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jiangdong is inseparable from the support of the four major families in Jiangdong, and now that Sun Jian is dead and the lord is overwhelmed by the army, I don't believe that these four great families can still serve Sun Jian's heirs wholeheartedly."
The Lu family, the Gu family, the Wei family, and the Yu family.
The four great families of Jiangdong, when Sun Jian entered Jiangdong, it was with the support of these four families that he finally sat firmly in the position of the lord of Jiangdong, but it also left a lot of hidden dangers, that is, Sun Jian did not cause much killing when he entered Jiangdong, so although the four major families of Jiangdong were mainly regarded by Sun Jian, they did not have much fear of Sun Jian, but thought that Sun Jian's ability to occupy Jiangdong was completely due to the full support of their four major families. Moreover, in order to repay the support of the four major families in Jiangdong, Sun Jian made the children of these four families hold many important positions in Jiangdong.
Now that Sun Jian is dead, Yan Xiang feels that the four great families of Jiangdong may not continue to support Sun Jian's descendants, but the four great families of Jiangdong are also a trouble, but if they are used well, they can help Yuan Shu quickly take Jiangdong, but if they are not used well, even if Yuan Shu takes Jiangdong, it will be difficult to have too strong control over Jiangdong.
Of course, this trouble is also a matter later, if the four great families of Jiangdong can help Yuan Shu take Jiangdong, Yan Xiang feels that he can still contact it. As for the possible troubles, it is not that there is no chance to make up for it, and at this time, taking Jiangdong is the most important thing for Yuan Shu's side.
After listening to Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Shu also nodded, and then ordered: "Zixuan, since this is the case, this matter will be entrusted to you to be responsible, and send people to contact the Lu family, the Gu family, the Wei family, and the Yu family, and it will be the best for you, but it doesn't matter if you don't succeed." ”
"Yes!"
In the battle of Danyang, the Jiangdong army was defeated, the Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian was killed, the Jiangdong fierce generals Huang Gai, Han Dang, Ling Cao and others were killed, and the nearly 20,000 army finally only a few thousand people fled back to the Jiangdong army base camp, and Wu Jing and Zhu Zhi, who stayed in the camp, after understanding the battle situation and receiving Zhou Tai, who recaptured the bodies of Sun Jian, immediately chose to withdraw from Danyang and return to Wu County, and at the same time suppressed the news that Sun Jian was dead to avoid chaos in Jiangdong.
Wu Jing Zhuzhi led the remnants of the Jiangdong Army to withdraw from Danyang, and Yuan Shu saw this, and quickly sent troops to occupy the entire territory of Danyang, and at the same time made a march to the rest of the counties in Jiangdong, and then asked Yan Xiang to send people to have private contact with the four major families of Jiangdong.
Since then, the battle between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian in Danyang has come to an end, ending in Sun Jian's defeat, and even Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, has taken his own life.
