Chapter 366: Another War of Atrition
After Sun Yang gave the order to prepare for battle, although the soldiers were very tired, but this time in order to protect their homeland, the morale of the army was still very sufficient, batches of soldiers went to Liyang through Wu County, and batches of grain and grass were also quickly concentrated in Liyang, this time Sun Yang wanted to see what the real swords and guns were doing on the battlefield, in the end they were strong, or the Jingzhou army was strong!
Although the direction of Liyang is now the number one important place in Jiangdong, Wu County cannot ignore it, after all, in their north, Yuan Shu is also about to move, but Sun Yang is not too worried that Yuan Shu will raise troops at the same time as Liu Biao, because Yuan Shu still cares about the jade seal in his hand, before he is absolutely sure, Sun Yang dares to be sure, Yuan Shu will definitely watch the fire from the other side!
It is precisely because of this that Sun Yang took a risk, in the direction of the river in Wu County, although he still sent the veteran Cheng Pu to guard the town, but Dian Wei did not follow, and nearly 10,000 soldiers under him were also transferred to the Liyang camp, Sun Yang thought very clearly, this time in the face of the menacing Jingzhou army, they not only want to next, but also to fight beautifully, so Sun Yang can be regarded as pressing Jiangdong's net worth to Liyang, the entire 70,000 army, and the main force of 50,000 Jiangdong Army are all concentrated in Liyang!
Since he had blocked all his net worth, Sun Yang should have gone to the front line to supervise the battle in person, but Sun Yang couldn't leave Wu County, because Jiangdong was now facing a big enemy, and the people in the territory were panicking, and now that the army was gone, the rest of Jiangdong was empty, plus they had just occupied these places, in order to worry about the rear, Sun Yang still decided that he would stay in Wu County and sit in the town, so that the front line could fight with peace of mind.
The army left, but Guo Jia did not follow, but postponed it for a day, the reason was naturally that the group of mysterious people had made a new discovery!
"Senior brother, is the news reliable? Did those mysterious people really appear in Liu Biao's mansion? After reading the secret letter handed to him by Guo Jia, Sun Yang couldn't believe it, he didn't believe that Liu Biao would expose this group of mysterious people at this time, and it was hard to imagine that this group of mysterious people really appeared!
"Reliable, this is the news that I personally arranged for the secret agent to come back, she saw with her own eyes, Liu Biao's side suddenly had two more mysterious people dressed in black, and they were almost inseparable from Liu Biao's side for a period of time!" Guo Jia nodded, he was still confident in the secret agent he personally arranged, after all, she was already Liu Biao's side, and it was not strange to see this.
"Check, senior brother, let your subordinates check as much as possible to see if they are protecting Liu Biao or if they have other purposes!" Now that the mysterious person has appeared, of course Sun Yang wants to track it down, after all, this is the only breakthrough they can find now, and Sun Yang is still a little suspicious, Liu Biao's side has not appeared for a long time, but there are two more mysterious people at this time, and this matter itself is very suspicious!
"It's been ordered, don't worry." Guo Jia naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and almost as soon as he received the news, he immediately replied and asked his secret agents to continue to investigate.
After saying this, Guo Jia did not leave immediately, but continued to say another thing to Sun Yang.
"Senior brother, there is one more thing, there is something about Nanyang, according to the report of the secret guard spies in the direction of Nanyang, in recent times, there have been a lot more Jingzhou spies in various parts of Nanyang, and all of them are confidential information such as Nanyang's current military strength and grain reserves, I suspect that Jingzhou should do something to Nanyang!"
Nanyang? After listening to what Guo Jia said, Sun Yang also suddenly became alert, that's right, according to the posture of the Jingzhou army, it seems to be fighting to the death with them, but in fact, it is not true, if the Jingzhou army really wants to take Jiangdong in one fell swoop, I am afraid that the army is now in Liyang, and it will not be that it is still near Xiangyang until now!
"Senior brother, this information is very important, I have some suspicions, Jingzhou is making a show, feintting to attack Liyang, but the actual target should be Nanyang! Liu Biao's old boy has been coveting Nanyang for a long time! ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, junior brother, you better let Nanyang be careful, maybe one day the Jingzhou army will suddenly appear in Nanyang!" Guo Jia also has this concern, after all, this Jingzhou army is indeed a little abnormal, knowing that the main force of the Jiangdong army has been concentrated in Liyang, do they still dare to come?
"Okay, I know, but senior brother, you must also be careful, the news that the Jingzhou army is going to attack Nanyang is just speculation now, you must not let your guard down there." In the end, Sun Yang still reminded Guo Jia, after all, they are not sure now, both sides must be careful!
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention, people are here, Liyang is here; The sun is ruined, and people are destroyed! Guo Jia also made a guarantee, no matter what, Liyang must not be lost, if it is lost, Jiangdong will have no danger to defend, and the Sun family will be finished!
"Do your best, no matter what happens, senior brother, you must give me a safe return!" In Sun Yang's heart, he didn't want Guo Jia to have any accidents, after all, Guo Jia's talent couldn't be exchanged for a state!
Guo Jia nodded, didn't stay any longer, and also left Wu County to join the army......
After Guo Jia left, Sun Yang immediately wrote a letter to remind Han Chun to pay attention to the direction of Jingzhou, Nanyang is not like Jiangdong can still defend against danger, and if you don't pay attention to Nanyang, you may lose your ......
Time flies, it has come to the New Year, although it is a festive day, but the whole Jiangdong has no festive meaning, because at this time on the Liyang front line they have already fought a few battles with the Jingzhou army!
Although it was a few battles, they were just a test, and no one dared to bet on any all-out attack, so the losses on both sides were not large, and the Jiangdong army on the defensive took advantage of it a little, in general, they were in a stalemate with the Jingzhou army in Liyang, and no one could help anyone!
Although the situation on the front line is quite optimistic, but the rear is not so good, Sun Yang is tired during this period of time, because due to the war, most of the people who used to do business in Jiangdong have left Jiangdong, and Jiangdong's economy has been hit hard, that is to say, Sun Yang has no money in his hands now.
But the money is gone, Sun Yang doesn't care too much, as long as the current war is resolved, the merchants who left will come back, what's even worse than this is that the grain and grass in Jiangdong's treasury are almost at the bottom!
This year, the Jiangdong Army has been fighting almost every day, and the supply of grain and grass in Jiangdong is already extremely good. In order to be able to raise grain and grass, Sun Yang can be regarded as exhausting all means, it is impossible for him to grab the grain of the common people, he can only buy it with money, plus the grain and grass "extorted" from those big clans, he can barely supply it!
But there is no way to go on like this, after thinking about it, Sun Yang finally reluctantly sent a letter to Guo Jia, asking him to find fighters as much as possible, not to annihilate the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop, but to solve this war as soon as possible, Jiangdong can no longer be consumed!
