No. 556 The Third General Reports 3
Originally, when Lu Xian heard the comments about Li Shu in his words, Sun Ce didn't take it to heart, because Li Shu was the Taishou of Jiujiang County appointed by him personally, and he thought that he knew this person very well, and there was a little problem, but it might not be so explicit, colluding with the local wealthy clan to bully a small guard in a county town.
Liu Hu's father Liu Hu is only a guard of Liyang City, not a county lieutenant.
The county lieutenant was appointed by Yuan Shu, and before Sun Ce's army captured this place, he had already disappeared. Because Liyang City was not occupied by Sun Ce with his troops, he himself had not personally seen Liu Hu.
Therefore, Sun Ce thinks that it is normal for Li Shu and Zhang Xian to intersect. After all, if Li Shu wants to gain a foothold in the local area, he must make friends with the local family, and the removal of Liu Hu may not be the result of Zhang Xianjin's slander, maybe Liu Hu himself has a problem. As for the fact that the eldest son of the Zhang family likes to lead people to snatch beautiful women, for a person like Sun Ce, he doesn't feel anything.
In fact, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, what kind of family did not do this?
The second and second Qiao, is it really his father Qiao Gong who sincerely dedicated it to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu? In fact, it is not intimidated by the power of the two of them.
However, when Sun Ce heard Zhu Heng say that Wei Yan actually put Li Shu back to Jiangnan with all his beards and tails, Sun Ce couldn't help but ask, "What, boy, are you sure Li Shu is still alive?" ”
"Enlightened Lord, this matter is absolutely true. Moreover, it is rumored that when Wei Yan attacked Liyang City, because the speed of the siege was too fast, after Li Shu got the news, he still had time to gather his subordinates, so he was blocked by Wei Yan with his troops in the county office.
Of course, this is just one of the rumors that the kid heard, although the kid was in the city at that time, but because the enemy's attack speed was indeed very fast, therefore, when the villain heard the movement, the enemy army had already begun to arrange soldiers to patrol the city and capture the deserters! Among the three generals, Zhu Ran, who had not spoken just now, interjected and replied.
The generals under his command are still alive, which is naturally a good thing, not to mention, the rumors that Zhu Ran heard, he himself said, he can't be sure whether this rumor is true or not, but one thing is certain, Li Shu must have surrendered, otherwise, with the archery skills of that young general Wei Yan, if Li Shu resisted when the city had not fallen, there was a high probability that he would be shot directly by Wei Yan like Sun He, who was responsible for guarding Wuwei Village.
The surrender of his generals to the enemy army in this way is disloyal in the eyes of any lord, and any lord does not say anything about this kind of thing, but in their hearts, they actually hope that the generals can choose to commit suicide before being defeated and captured.
Sun Ce did the same to Li Shu, and Cao Cao did the same to Ban.
After Wei Yan unsuccessfully assassinated Sun Ce under Liyang City, but accidentally shot Ling Cao, Sun Ce has now determined that his cousin, Sun He, who has been working hard to follow him to conquer the entire Jiangdong, must have been shot by Wei Yan.
After that, the three generals had nothing more to say, and Sun Ce drove all three of them away.
Sun Ce convened the generals in the conference hall, firstly to listen to the report of the three generals, and secondly, to discuss the follow-up of the battle of Xuzhou.
In a word, what should Sun Cejun do next?
By this time, Sun Ce didn't know that his Lujiang County was about to fall.
"Lord, since Jiujiang County is already unstoppable here, then, the last general thinks that in addition to our army continuing to hold on to Fuling County, it is best for you to immediately lead the main force to Guangling County, and gather with Zhu Taishou to take Guangling City as soon as possible. Once our army captures Guangling City, at least in Guangling County, the area south of the Huai River will be all owned by you.
Of course, the Chen family has now completely broken with Liu Bei, the lord you can first send an envoy to the city to persuade Chen Jue Na Lao'er, if it is successful, it will not be difficult for you to take all Guangling County, or even part of the Xia Pi Kingdom? Cheng Pu was the first to stand up and offer advice.
After Cheng Pu finished speaking, most of the generals agreed with this.
To be sure, Cheng Pu's strategy seems to be correct for now.
The Chen family suddenly raised troops, which was somewhat beyond Sun Ce's imagination.
It's a pity that the Chen family's plan to sneak attack the Xia Pi State somehow fell short.
And Cao Jun didn't know what the reason was, and suddenly withdrew his troops without greeting his temporary allies, which somewhat overwhelmed Sun Cejun and the Chen family. Therefore, both Sun Cejun and the Chen family were faced with two choices at the same time.
First, the Chen family accepted the persuasion of the envoys sent by Sun Ce and surrendered to Sun Ce, so that it would be difficult to gather the forces of the Chen family and Sun Ce's army to attack Jiujiang County or Xiapi State, but it was not difficult to take the entire Guangling County.
Second, the Chen family will stubbornly resist, and Liu Bei will send troops to rescue for sure, after all, Guangling County was originally his territory, but the crux of the problem is that he, who has been betrayed by the Chen family, when will he send troops to rescue Guangling City, which is occupied by the Chen family?
Even with Liu Beijun's assistance, Sun Cejun ultimately failed to capture Guangling City and had to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, but another problem would arise - Sun Cejun retreated, and the Chen family had to worry about what Liu Bei would do with them. Even if Chen Deng is capable, Guangling City, which has now lost half of its troops, cannot withstand the two consecutive sieges of Sun Cejun and Liu Beijun.
The reason is very simple, after the great drought and famine last winter, a large number of southern Guangling County gathered in Guangling City, there is no shortage of people in the city, naturally there is no shortage of soldiers who can be recruited temporarily, but there is an extreme shortage of food and grass in the city! Coupled with Zhu Zhi's previous attacks, Guangling City can be said to have no harvest in this year's summer and autumn harvests.
Sun Ce and his subordinate generals had reason to believe that the grain stock in Guangling City would definitely not last more than a year.
"Let's do it!" At this time, Sun Ce also couldn't think of a better proposal than Cheng Pu, so he decided categorically.
The next day, Sun Ce left 10,000 troops and asked Huang Gai and Han Dang to divide their troops into 5,000 respectively, responsible for guarding Fuling County and Quanshu County, while he himself led the remaining generals and soldiers to march east in the direction of Guangling City.
This time, Sun Ce made up his mind to take Guangling City and the entire Guangling County, otherwise, since he only raised troops in Jiangdong, this battle of Xuzhou would become a shame that would be difficult to wash away in his life.
