408. A fire broke out in the backyard of Jiangdong
Probably not long after Zhu Wei sent troops to Nanjun, Sun Ce, who was entrenched in Guangling County, actually crossed the Yangtze River and entered Wu County under the response of Yan Baihu, a thief from Wu County.
Now Sun Ce and Yan Baihu have joined forces to capture Wu County, which guarded Xu Gong, and Xu Gong was also killed, and then Sun Ce led the army to the west to attack Danyang, the main city of Jiangdong where Liu Miao was located, and Yan Baihu led his troops to the south, preparing to attack Qiantang County, which is now controlled by Wang Lang of Huiji.
Yan Baihu probably had an agreement with Sun Ce that he would be responsible for attacking the areas of Qiantang and Huiji, but Yan Baihu's side could ignore it for the time being, and Sun Ce's attack on Danyang City really made Zhu Wei a little worried.
Now that Liu Miao is seriously ill and can't preside over things at all, Danyang City lacks a principal, and in the face of Sun Ce's attack, I'm afraid it will be a little precarious, and Danyang City is broken, if Liu Miao falls into the hands of Sun Ce, then Jiangdong will have no power to suppress Sun Ce.
At that time, Jiangdong may be easily swept away by Sun Ce like the original history, which is by no means a good thing for Zhu Wei, it can be said that although Zhu Wei successfully won Xiangyang City in Jingbei Nanjun, there are some backyard fires in Jiangdong.
It is estimated that Sun Ce has also been staring at Zhu Wei's movements, that is, taking advantage of the opportunity for Zhu Wei to send troops to Nanjun, waiting for an opportunity to attack Jiangdong, although Sun Ce's offensive in Jiangdong this time is not as smooth as in the original history, but now Jiangdong Danyang Liu Xuan's army is once again in a state of being unable to react.
Moreover, when Zhu Wei received the news, it was already the time stage when Sun Ce and Yan Baihu captured Wu County, and then marched to Danyang, it can be said that the news was transferred from Danyang to Yuzhang, and then to Zhu Wei of Xiangyang City, and it had taken nearly two days.
In other words, now Sun Ce may already be attacking Danyang City, and it is even possible to defeat Danyang City without hosting.
Zhu Wei is really worried about the situation in Jiangdong, fortunately, Zhu Wei also has a detailed scout in Danyang, so Zhu Wei checked the situation through the map of the Three Kingdoms game system at the first time, and now Danyang City has not yet fallen, and it seems that someone has replaced Liu Miao to preside over the defense of Danyang City.
But the army brought by Sun Ce has been blocked outside Danyang City, and several rounds of attacks have been launched against Danyang City, and it is obvious that Sun Ce also understands the importance of controlling Liu Xuan.
Sun Ce's idea is obviously the same as Zhu Wei's idea of the first battle of Xiangyang, and he is also preparing to use decapitation tactics to take down Liu Miao with one blow and then deal with Zhang Ying, Chen Heng, Yu Su and other generals who Liu Miao left in Niuzhu's camp and Liyang.
Of course, from the perspective of the scouts, he couldn't see the city defense of Danyang City, Zhu Wei just knew that Danyang City was still resisting Sun Ce's siege, which made Zhu Wei feel a little relieved.
Such a sudden situation in Jiangdong really made Zhu Wei a little nerve-wracking.
After receiving this news, Zhu Wei immediately invited Wang Yuyan to discuss, he must immediately send troops to rescue Jiangdong, even if he can't save Liu Xuan, he must also seize some strategic places in Jiangdong, so as to delay time, so that Zhu Wei's army can fight with Sun Ce in Jiangdong after turning back from Jingzhou.
But the problem is that the situation in Jingbei is not completely stable now.
Xiangyang City has just been taken, someone must preside over the overall situation, although Cai Mao on the Jiangling side said that he surrendered, but how to deal with it must also be discussed, in addition, Nanyang County's Wen Ping and Zhang Xiu still need troops to oppress, so that they can really submit, otherwise they are likely to maintain the current state of military separation.
Therefore, if Zhu Wei's side transfers troops back to Jiangdong, it will be useless if there are less, but if there are more, it will affect Zhu Wei's situation in Jingbei.
I have to say that Sun Ce grasped this opportunity very steadily, and it is estimated that it was also Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, two good friends, plus Zhang Hong's help to discuss it together.
Zhu Wei, who also lost money, captured Xiangyang in the shortest time, if Zhu Wei was still in Xiangyang and Liu Biao at this moment, then Zhu Wei would not be able to make any moves, otherwise even if Zhu Wei wanted to withdraw his troops, Liu Biao would not easily agree.
Besides, Zhu Wei used troops in three places in Jingbei, and the stall was so big, even if he wanted to stop it, it was not easy to accept it.
That is equivalent to the balance of Jiangdong in one hand and Jingbei in the other, and it depends on whether Zhu Wei will protect Jiangdong at any cost, or abandon Jiangdong first and seize Jingzhou.
Of course, the situation on Zhu Wei's side is slightly better now, but there is still a problem in front of Zhu Wei, who to send to rescue Jiangdong and how many troops to send back.
After the discussion between Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan, Zhu Wei decided to let Wang Yuyan take the 5,000 sword and shield men of the Chinese military camp and Tai Shici's magic arrow battalion down the river and go to Jiangdong for emergency relief first.
Now there is no need to consider whether Sun Ce has captured Danyang or whether he has captured Liu Xuan, as long as he can take the Niuzhu camp before Sun Ce, he can restrict Sun Ce's development in Jiangdong.
After all, all the grain, grass, weapons and other materials of Jiangdong Liu Miao were piled up on the side of the Niuzhu camp, whether it was for Sun Ce or Zhu Wei, this was a piece of fat.
And now Zhu Wei found through the map of the Three Kingdoms game that the Niuzhu camp was still in the hands of Liu Xuan's subordinates.
As for choosing Tai Shi Ci's Divine Arrow Battalion to return to Jiangdong for rescue, it is also considering that Tai Shi Ci's identity still belongs to Liu Xuan's establishment, coupled with the relationship between Tai Shi Ci and Liu Xuan, if Tai Shi Ci is not sent back now, it is estimated that Tai Shi Ci will also take the initiative to ask Zhu Wei for help.
Of course, Zhu Wei is not worried about Tai Shici's ability, but he is a little worried that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will come up with some strategies, so that Tai Shici will not be able to deal with it.
Therefore, after Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan discussed, they decided to let Wang Yuyan go to Jiangdong.
In fact, theoretically speaking, if Wang Yuyan is sent back to Jiangdong with more than 15,000 troops from the Taishi Cishen Arrow Battalion, it can already be regarded as a not weak force, and it is even enough to be regarded as an army that can pacify Jiangdong.
How can it be said that Zhu Wei can also be regarded as a force on Liu Xiang's side, so after Wang Yuyan returns to Jiangdong, he may be able to use Zhu Wei's name to control the forces of Zhang Ying, Yu Su, Chen Heng and other generals on Liu Xiang's side.
If everything goes well, with these forces under Wang Yuyan's control, it will be enough to deal with Sun Ce's existing forces in Jiangdong, and even wipe out Sun Ce in Jiangdong.
According to Zhu Wei's previous intelligence investigation of Guangling County, Sun Ce had more than 8,000 troops at most before crossing the river.
Even if Sun Ce did have a lot of generals under him, and Sun Jian's old generals were still new generals like Zhou Tai, the development level of Guangling County was limited, and it could not provide Sun Ce with much potential for development, and Sun Ce naturally couldn't recruit many troops.
Now I just don't know how many troops Sun Ce will increase after entering Jiangdong......
