With the marriage of Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan, Wang Lang, who also belongs to the Langya Wang family, can naturally be regarded as Zhu Wei's own person.
Wang Lang didn't have much ambition originally, and he wouldn't have the intention of competing with Zhu Wei for Jiangdong, and he had already received a letter from Wang Yuyan, knowing that Wang Yuyan had brought troops to aid Jiangdong.
Therefore, Wang Lang will naturally do his best to cooperate with the Jiangdong strategy formulated by Wang Yuyan, although there are not many troops in Huiji now, it is enough to unite with Cai Mao's army to deal with Yan Baihu.
Before, Zhu Wei helped Wang Lang attack Zhu Zhi in Qiantang County, and Wang Lang also incorporated a lot of soldiers who were originally trained by Zhu Zhi, so now the troops of Huiji under Zhou Xin's command are not very weak.
In addition, now Wang Lang has two strategists with military advisor qualifications, which allows Wang Lang to use his intelligence to crush Jiangdong thieves like Yan Baihu.
Needless to say, although the military command ability is not good, there is no problem in helping Wang Lang deal with logistics and government affairs.
As for Kan Ze, he originally came to Wang Lang like Zhang Hong, hoping to get an official position on Wang Lang's side, Kan Ze was originally a native of Shanyin County, Huiji County, and he was also studying and traveling abroad before, but now that the world is in chaos, Kan Ze has plans to return to his hometown.
And Wang Lang, as a master of scripture, naturally belongs to acquaintances with Kan Ze, who is also a celebrity, so after Kan Ze returned to Huiji, he quickly became Wang Lang's guest, and then Wang Lang originally wanted to introduce Kan Ze to Zhu Wei's side.
didn't just catch up with the current Jiangdong chaos, so Kan Ze temporarily became Wang Lang's military advisor and strategist.
This Kan Ze's ability is similar to Yu Tuo, but his military ability is stronger than Yu Tuo, so this time Kan Ze also helped Wang Lang deal with a lot of military matters.
In fact, when defending Yan Baihu in Qiantang County before, the soldiers of Huiji were already enough to resist Yan Baihu's invasion.
It can be said that Yan Baihu did not take much advantage of Qiantang County, and then after the old nest Wucheng was threatened by Cai Mao's army, Yan Baihu naturally withdrew at the first time.
However, Yan Baihu withdrew from the army, and Wang Lang naturally wouldn't think that nothing had happened before, so Wang Lang also took the initiative to send Zhou Xin and Kan Ze with the soldiers of Huiji to prepare to join Cai Mao's army and help Zhu Wei recover the land of Wu County in one fell swoop.
Okay, let's not talk about the matter of Wu County for the time being, anyway, according to Wang Yuyan's military order to Cai Mao, Cai Mao's Jiangling Navy will focus on Wucheng Yan Baihu's side this time in Jiangdong, mainly to let Cai Mao recover Wu County, and did not let him join the battle to rescue Danyang City.
So let's go back and talk about the situation on the side of Danyang City, why did Liu Miao withdraw to Dantu County?
It turned out that Hua Xin and Zhang Ying, who had been guarding Danyang City before, faced Sun Ce's strong attack completely regardless of the damage, and they were becoming more and more overstretched in defending the city, so Hua Xin and Zhang Ying had to find Liu Xuan, who was seriously ill, to discuss where they could retreat after the city was broken.
It's just that at that time, Sun Ce's army had already besieged Danyang City and blocked the news outside Danyang City, so Liu Miao and Hua Xin considered the information they knew before, and Wu County and Huiji, which were close to Danyang City, were probably unable to withdraw, because Sun Ce came from this direction.
In this way, the original plan of Liu Xuan's side was to retreat in the direction of Moling and Niuzhu Daying, after all, there are still some of Liu Xuan's troops here, and then Liu Xuan can also find an opportunity to withdraw to Yuzhang.
Although I don't know now if there are reinforcements from Yuzhang and Zhu Wei's side to rescue Danyang, or whether they still recognize Liu Xuan, the Yangzhou pastor, anyway, they withdrew to Yuzhang, and Zhu Wei will not completely ignore them.
Even if it comes to Zhu Wei's side, there will be a lot of troublesome things, but it is definitely much better than falling into the hands of Sun Ce.
It's just that the strong threat of Sun Ce's army outside Danyang City also makes them worry about whether they can withdraw safely under Sun Ce's pursuit after withdrawing from Danyang City.
After all, Liu Miao is still seriously ill now, and the troops defending the city on the side of Danyang City are also a little crippled, relying on Danyang City to defend it, if there is no protection of the city wall, they may not be able to block the pursuit of Sun Ce's soldiers.
If you want to withdraw from Danyang City to Moling and Niuzhu camps, but there is a long way to go, if you are pursued by Sun Ce's army halfway, then everything will be over.
To be honest, Liu Miao was already a little desperate at that time, and analyzed the current situation, which almost caused him to faint directly.
It was also at this time that Tai Shici finally shot the arrow letter into Danyang City through meticulous work, which let Liu Miao know that Zhu Wei's reinforcements had come, but the army was blocked by Zhou Yu sent by Sun Ce and his troops in Moling County.
Therefore, it is still necessary for Danyang City to hold on for a while before reinforcements can arrive.
Although this kind of news makes Liu Miao a little excited, the problem is that far water can't quench his thirst, and now Danyang City is already in danger, and Liu Miao is afraid that he can't wait for reinforcements.
Fortunately, in the arrow letter sent in by Tai Shici, it was also said that if Danyang City really could not be defended, Liu Miao could withdraw to Dantu County.
This is Dantu County under the control of Cai Mao's army, which can be regarded as the closest retreat route to Danyang City, as long as Hua Xin and Zhang Ying take the remnants of Danyang City to protect Liu Miao and forcibly assault, they may still be able to protect Liu Miao to retreat to Dantu County.
Judging from the map around Danyang City, Dantu County is close to the Yangtze River, if it is not answered, it will be a dead end, and Sun Ce is not worried about where Liu Miao can run to the river.
Therefore, Sun Ce's army surrounding Danyang City may indeed be slack in the direction leading to Dantu County.
As for the news that Cai Mao's water army has taken control of Dantu County, Sun Ce's side may not already know about it, after all, when Tai Shici sent an arrow letter to Danyang City, it was also a matter not long after Dantu County was occupied.
Therefore, considering the success rate of Liu Xuan's breakthrough, Dantu County can be regarded as the only retreat that Liu Xiang can choose.
At the same time, as long as they can break through to Dantu County, they can get the support of Cai Mao's army, and at a critical time, they can use Cai Mao's army to directly go to the Yangtze River, which Sun Ce's army can't catch up with, then it will be completely safe.
Although Liu Miao and Hua Xin were also worried that this might be Sun Ce's strategy, but now Danyang City has really reached the limit, so Liu Miao can only believe in this arrow letter.
At the same time, another thing requested on this arrow letter also made Liu Miao feel that this arrow letter was still credible.
Because the arrow letter also said that if Liu Miao really couldn't hold Danyang City and was ready to break through and retreat, then I hope that Liu Miao could destroy the grain storage and stored weapons in Danyang City before breaking through, and not give Sun Ce too many opportunities to replenish supplies.
Such a request made Liu Miao believe that this arrow letter should not be Sun Ce's strategy, if it was Sun Ce's strategy, then Sun Ce definitely didn't want Liu Miao to do this, and he wouldn't remind Liu Miao to do so.
In this way, Liu Xuan's side has determined this retreat......
