Chapter 1280: Zhou Yu's plan
Sun Ce walked towards Dianjiangtai under the arch guard of the guards on both sides.
The phalanx of 100,000 Jiangdong disciples cracked to both sides like waves, giving way to a wide corridor, revealing the high platform in the center of the phalanx. Behind Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and Zhou Taizhu will line up in a crescent formation and protect him behind him. The officers and men of the three armed forces shouted like a tsunami.
Huang Zu's face was a little gloomy, but he didn't show more emotions. Seeing Sun Ce's super popularity and charm, he was also a little stunned for a while: Perhaps, the choice he made is not very ridiculous and wrong, right?
Standing on the high platform, Sun Ce raised his hand slightly, and in an instant, all the sounds disappeared. Between heaven and earth, there was no movement except the whirring wind - the murderous aura of the soldiers was enough to change the color of heaven and earth, and the surrounding area of Dianjiangtai condensed into a frozen sea of fire.
Sun Ce raised the order flag on the stage and waved it gently: "Sacrifice the flag, send troops!" Straight into Yangyang! ”
This day is August 16, that is, the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Sun Ce didn't understand why Zhou Yu had to make such a flashy mobilization when he had to let Xiangyang City be visible at hand. After sending troops from Lujiang, the army sang all the way, and successfully received the 30,000 combat power of Jiangxia Huangzu. The 130,000-strong army was united in one place, mighty and irresistible. In just seven days, they have already arrived in Weiyang, and in only three days, the army can come to Xiangyang City.
Afterwards, Sun Ce also asked Zhou Yu why he did this, but Zhou Yu did not give any reply. Until another day of marching, after camping, Sun Ce came to Zhou Yu's camp again. This time, he must find out what the hell Zhou Yu is doing.
"Jingzhou has changed." Sun Ce just lifted the curtain of the door, and before he could speak, Zhou Yu gave this sentence without a beginning or an end.
"What?"
"We need more troops!" Zhou Yu's second sentence was even more groundbreaking, making Sun Ce completely confused.
"Gong Jin, your old injury has not healed, and you have been tired of saddle horses all the way, isn't it ......" Sun Ce felt that Zhou Yu was joking, but looking at his dignified face, it didn't look like it at all.
"Lord, Gong Jin is not alarmist, but an important matter related to whether we can overcome Xiangyang this time!" Looking at Sun Ce's look of disbelief, Lu Su beside Zhou Yu explained: "According to reliable news from the spies, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was chaos in Xiangyang City, and someone saw the figures of Ma Chao's personal guards and Cao Cao's tiger guard camp appear. ”
"And then?" Sun Ce couldn't understand what Zhou Yu and Lu Su were saying: "So Jingzhou has changed, and we are going to increase our troops?" ”
Zhou Yu and Lu Su glanced at each other, they both knew it. Sun Ce is not a scheming leader, but in the passionate excitement of the imminent revenge for killing his father, he temporarily blinded his rational thinking. And this is also worrying for them. As a result, Zhou Yu calmed down, pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Sun Ce to sit down first, before he spoke: "Bo Fu, you know, since Miss Qiao Yan suddenly disappeared, our Jiangdong has become a weakness in the area of intelligence. We don't know what happened in Xiangyang City on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but we can imagine how much impact Ma Chao, King of Yong, and Cao Cao, King of Wei, personally entered Xiangyang! ”
Seeing Zhou Yu's serious words, Sun Ce couldn't help but pay attention: "Brother Xian, are you saying that this time we will not only face Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but also possibly face King Yong or King Wei?" ”
Zhou Yu nodded, and said with some regret: "We are still a step late, if we can ...... before Xiangyang changes the sky" Saying this, Zhou Yu immediately looked at Lu Su and continued to fall into contemplation: "This Xiangyang **** is extremely secretive, except for a rebellion of thieves in Xiangyang East City, there is no sign of infighting and fighting." From this point of view, Ma Chao, the king of Yong, or Cao Cao, the king of Wei, have a tacit understanding on this point, so that the foundation of Xiangyang has not been shaken by half a point, and the combat strength of each army still exists......"
But as soon as the words came here, he heard Sun Ce smile freely, blooming like a spring flower: "King Yong or King Wei have fought several times, the country is poor and weak, and they are all in recuperation, even if Jingzhou is obtained, can they send troops to defend Jingzhou?" If you only rely on the soldiers of Jingzhou, how can you defeat my 100,000 Jiangdong soldiers?! ”
Zhou Yu and Lu Su couldn't help frowning when they saw Sun Ce so lightly attacked. But then Sun Ce smiled brighter and brighter, and said what he thought in his heart: "And in this competition, one of the two must be the commander." Both of them are immortal military wizards, and it would be an honor for me to fight with them! ”
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, it turned out that Sun Ce didn't know the ability of the two, but because of this, the fighting spirit became stronger. At the moment, he couldn't help but be a little dignified, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Bo Fu must not be like this, although the current situation seems to be like this, but we don't know anything about what is going on in Xiangyang City." Today, I want Ancestor Huang to be the pathfinder, and we will move with the camera ......"
Sun Ce suddenly realized that now Huang Zu had betrayed Liu Biao, but the army was like a broken bamboo along the way, and Huang Zu did not make an inch. If he still wants to take charge of Jiangxia County alone, he must show some merits - he, Sun Ce, is not a soft-hearted Liu Biao, and he will definitely not let Huang Zu still be so free!
He was in the game, so he didn't see through Zhou Yu's intentions, but as long as Huang Zu was not a fool, he would know the implication of this move. Sun Ce couldn't help but nod his head at this, he admitted that sometimes as soon as Zhou Yu's clever plan came out, it was like the ringing of strings, playing a heart-shaking song of slaughter, which was better than going straight and fighting a hundred times.
But this time, he didn't have the mood to listen to Zhou Yu's song of conquest. Facing the two military masters in the troubled times, Sun Ce's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he said categorically: "Gong Jin, this time I sent troops, I have always listened to your good words, and I have never killed indiscriminately everywhere I passed. However, in the current battle of Xiangyang, I must meet one of the two kings for the first time! ”
"Lord!" Lu Su saw that Sun Ce insisted on going his own way, and was a little angry: "The enemy does not move, it is convenient for me to show my hole cards first, which is really a taboo for soldiers!" Sun Ce changed color when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yu suddenly waved his hand again: "Not necessarily ......"
"Gong Jin, you ......" Lu Su wanted to persuade again, but at this time, Zhou Yu bit his lower lip and looked at the map, his eyes shining with the same brilliance as Sun Ce, but what was in Sun Ce's eyes was the light of battle that would never be extinguished, but in his eyes was the divine light of wisdom.
"It's not impossible for the army to pour out, whether it is King Yong or King Wei, they only took Jingzhou yesterday, and their foothold is unstable. Our army is full of strength, which will definitely make the people of Xiangyang panic. The wisdom in his eyes was undiminished, and Zhou Yu was charming at this time, and continued: "Today's oath has already planted seeds in Huang Zu's heart, and he will only be more urgent to make meritorious contributions. ”
"Finally, as Bo Fu said, King Yong or King Wei are both in recuperation. I can't go south, this is my God's opportunity to give me Jiangdong, if I don't hold it, I really live up to the will of God! ”
"Those who know my heart, Gong Jin also!" Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Order, have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow the army will march together and enter Xiangyang!" ”
After that, the development of things turned out as Zhou Yu expected, as soon as the day dawned, Huang Zu entered the account and asked to be a pioneer, and after being rejected by Sun Ce, his face became even more anxious. After another day of marching, after entering the Weijiang River, Xiangyang City's reaction was belated.
However, although Xiangyang's reaction was a little late, it should not be underestimated for the lineup. This time, it was a pair of enemies in Xiangyang City - Liu Bei and Cai Mao. Liu Bei rode out of 20,000 steps this time, and Cai Mao also led an army of 30,000 descendants, and a total of 50,000 troops to resist Sun Ce.
Facing Liu Bei and Cai Mao, Sun Ce was a little unimpressed, and launched a general attack in the first battle, but Liu Bei and Cai Mao could not stop and were repelled for twenty miles. But that night, Liu Bei took advantage of the unstable establishment of Sun Ce's army, and attacked Cai Mao with both sides, attacking Huangzu's camp. Huang Zu was depressed and drunk that night, and was killed by Liu Bei to the point of routing and bombing the camp, and the Jiangxia rebels poured into Sun Ce's camp. If it weren't for the little overlord who immediately made a decision and retreated, I am afraid that he might really be affected by Huang Zu.
After this battle, Sun Ce had a little understanding of Liu Bei, swept away his previous arrogance, and attacked several times like thunder and fire, and the powerful troops overwhelmed Liu Bei and Cai Mao at all, and retreated in defeat after defeat. But no matter how brave Sun Ce was, Liu Bei and Cai Mao defended to the death according to the geographical advantages of the city, and finally contained Sun Ce's previous overwhelming offensive. The two sides are on the battlefield only a day away from Xiangyang, you fight for me, and the sky is dark.
However, on the whole, although the combined forces of Liu Bei and Cai Mao bought a lot of time, the battle still lost more than it won, and letters asking for help came to Xiangyang like snowflakes. made Ma Chao in Xiangyang City feel powerless to even sigh, and finally it wasn't until Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci came that Ma Chao's anxious face showed a smile: "Jiangdong Little Overlord, we, the heroes of the north and south, will start to show our style!" ”
