However, in recent times, the central and northern areas of Lingling County and the central and western parts of Guiyang County, Nanping County and Linwu County, have become extremely unstable.

I don't know who did it, but he actually set fire to all the crops in the cultivated land in the above-mentioned place at night.

Before, in the face of this situation, Cheng Pu had to divide a part of the siege troops and let Han Dang lead a large army to the place where the incident occurred to investigate and clear up, as a result, in the short term, Han Dang was able to stabilize the situation in his county, but in the county where he couldn't take care of it, the situation suddenly deteriorated.

Once Han Dang left the county with his troops, the situation in the county would immediately deteriorate again.

This is the relatively rudimentary guerrilla warfare that Jin Jue handed over to his subordinates.

This method of warfare has great limitations in the Central Plains, because after all, there are many plains in the Central Plains, and besides, the guerrilla troops are not locals, so they can easily be wiped out by local forces.

However, in the south, especially in the four counties of Jingnan, this tactic was fully displayed by the guards trained by Fu Tong and Zhang Long.

There are two reasons for this,

First, the four counties of Jingnan are mountainous and watery, which is very conducive to the movement of small troops and the concealment of their whereabouts.

Second, before the war, Fu Tong had already sent Pang Shanmin to the Wuxi barbarian settlement in Jingnan to meet with the barbarian tribal leaders there, and reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.

When fighting against Sun Cejun, Fu Tong did not force the leaders of the barbarian tribes to send troops to help them, but only needed to send people who were familiar with the road to guide the way for each small unit.

In this place of the four counties of Jingnan, if you want to ask anyone who is familiar with the mountain roads in the counties of the four counties, it is naturally the Wuxi barbarians.

It was with the guidance of these barbarians, who were very familiar with the local roads, that Zhang Long's guards were able to avoid the encirclement and suppression of Huang Gai's army. The same situation also occurred in Nanping County and Linwu County in the central and western part of Guiyang County.

Because of the rapid action, it took less than ten days for fifty guards and fifty squads to completely destroy all the cultivated land in these two counties, and then before Huang Gai reacted, these fifty guards had already left Guiyang County with their troops.

This is also a strategy, Guiyang County's two closest counties to Lingling County are Nanping County and Linwu County, and the rest of the counties under its jurisdiction are all concentrated in the north-south direction with Guiyang County as the main axis, and there are not many counties in the east-west direction of Guiyang County. Now that the sabotage mission has been completed, it is dangerous to continue to keep small troops here, and the benefits are very small.

At this time, Cheng Pu also saw that the crux of the dilemma did not seem to be in the Taishou of Lingling County, which was besieged by him in Shi'an County, but seemed to be in Wuling County, so he resolutely gave up continuing to attack Shi'an County and led his troops north.

……

As soon as he received Sun Quan's urgent report, Sun Ce didn't care too much.

This is because, after this period of secret observation of the county seat of Linyuan County, Sun Ce has found the weak link in the defense of the county, as long as the battle plan is properly, he believes that he will soon be able to break the city, kill the enemy Huang Zu, and then seize the entire three counties of Jingnan, and the next step after breaking the city depends on what Liu Biao or Zhang Xian does.

However, after the general Lu Fan and the two strategists Qin Song and Chen Duan, who were standing beside Sun Ce, took Sun Quan's urgent letter and read it, they glanced at each other, and they could see that each other's eyes showed deep doubts and uneasiness.

Although Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were also Sun Ce's masterminds, they were both older and both scribes, so they were slightly lacking in intelligence, so Sun Ce ordered the two to be responsible for staying in Jiangdong, and he only took the strategists Qin Song and Chen Duan with him.

At this time and space, Lu Su also became an important minister by Liu Bei's side, while Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi, both of them were recommended or promoted by Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan respectively during the Sun Quan period.

In the end, it was Lu Fan who spoke first, because he had the closest relationship with Sun Ce.

Lu Fan admonished Sun Ce: "Lord, there are dry bones in Huang Zu's tomb, it is only a matter of time before you kill him." The letter sent by the second son to be sent urgently, you should pay attention to it! ”

"Oh! Why is that? When Sun Ce heard this, he looked at Lu Fan with a heavy face and asked puzzled.

"Lord Qiqi, you led the troops all the way to Linyuan County this time, although the speed of the troops was very fast, and there was not enough reaction for Liu Biao, but until today, it seems that the Nanjun side has not sent any reinforcements to rescue Wuling County and rescue Huang Zu. Logically speaking, this is simply not something that can happen.

However, during this period of time, the scouts sent by our army to the north have not found any news related to the reinforcements sent by Liu Biao, and the county commanders of the four counties in the north of Wuling County have only been doing two things - strengthening the city defenses of the four counties and moving the people in the four counties to the north. Don't you think that's very strange? Lu Fan asked boldly.

"This ......!" Hearing this, Sun Ce nodded, pondered for a moment, looked at Qin Song and Chen Duan, and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

When Chen Duan heard this, he immediately replied: "Lord, Huang Zu is as timid as a mouse, although there are many soldiers in Linyuan County, but they have already broken their courage under your tiger power. Therefore, your subordinates thought that you only needed to leave one or two generals and half of the soldiers to continue the siege, and you yourself led half of the main force to take the four counties north at once. Once you take the counties of Jingzhou south of the Yangtze River, you can protect the entire three counties of Jingnan without losing it. ”

"My subordinates also agree with Brother Chen's suggestion!" After Chen Duan finished speaking, Qin Song immediately echoed.

When Sun Ce heard this, he frowned, looked at Lu Fan, and saw that he didn't seem to have any disagreement, so he wanted to agree. At this moment, he seemed to see the guard beside him shaking his head, and when he turned his head, he saw that he was a very young general.

This young general was almost abducted by Liu Shan, another time and space Sun Wu general Lu Meng. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's meticulous work, he found something strange from Deng Dang's refusal of Liu Shan's solicitation, and asked Sun Ce to start paying attention to Lu Meng in advance, and recruited him to his side as a personal guard. Otherwise, Lu Meng might really be abducted by Liu Shan.

In fact, Liu Shan also abducted several generals from Dongwu in the future, and there were three people, they were Xu Sheng, a native of Langya County, Pan Zhang, a native of Fagan, Dongjun, and Ding Feng and Ding Feng, who were also very young.

"What, Lu Meng, do you have a different opinion?" Sun Ce saw that it was him and asked curiously.

When Lu Meng heard this, his face froze, and for a while, he didn't know how to exit.

It was Lu Fan who saw the scruples in this child's eyes, and he said bluntly to Lu Meng: "In front of the lord, big things are important, and Lu Xiaozi doesn't have to worry about our face. ”
