Chapter 51 - Recapture of the Lujiang River

Liu Ye, who was stationed in Lujiang, was worried, he didn't believe that Sun Ce would let go of such a good opportunity and not seize Lujiang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that for several days, he has not heard the news of Sun Ce's attack, which makes Liu Ye even more uneasy, and can only make the soldiers under him more vigilant.

But the soldiers who were left by Liu Xun to defend the city were only old and weak soldiers after all, and the tense nerves for several days could no longer support it, and many soldiers leaned directly on the walls of the city tower, looking drowsy.

In the eyes of these people, what Liu Ye did was just a superfluous move, if people wanted to come to capture Lujiang, they were afraid that they would have come a long time ago, how could they wait until now.

Just as the guards yawned at the gates, the sound of horses' hooves began to sound.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the soldiers immediately cheered up and raised their guns at the approaching horses.

The soldier riding on the war horse suddenly tightened the reins, drove the horse to a stop, and said with a tired face to the soldier standing by the city gate with a gun: "Go and tell Mr. Liu that Anhui City is besieged by Sun Ce, and it is about to be unable to hold on, and I hope to send troops to help!" ”

After saying that, the soldier who had come to tell the news fell from his horse and fell to the ground.

After hearing the news brought by the comer, the soldiers guarding the city gate were shocked, and hurriedly commanded everyone to settle down the soldiers who came to report for help, and they were busy running to the city, preparing to report to Liu Ye the news they heard.

At the moment when the soldier turned around, no one noticed that the corner of the soldier's mouth was slightly upturned, and a cold smile appeared.

In the Taishou Mansion, Liu Ye was suddenly shocked after listening to the return of the guards guarding the city.

What he had feared finally happened.

After sending the guards of the city later, Liu Ye frowned, he didn't consider whether the news of Sun Ce's siege of Wancheng was false, his only worry was that the other party had already broken through Wancheng when the defenders of Wancheng broke through and came to ask for help.

As for whether the soldier who came to report the news was the defender of Anhui City, Liu Ye didn't doubt it much.

After all, when listening to the report of the guards guarding the city, it was clear that he was in the dust, and there were still many wounds on his body that were still bleeding out, and at a glance, it made people feel that he was seriously injured.

However, if he wanted to send troops to rescue Wancheng, Liu Ye couldn't get so many troops in his hands, and almost all the troops of the entire Lujiang County were taken by Liu Xun to attack Shangyi City.

In a hurry, Liu Ye kept pacing back and forth in the Taishou Mansion, and he knew in his heart that if Anhui City was lost, Sun Ce's next target would definitely be to go straight here.

It's just that he really has more than enough heart and strength, and Lujiang at this moment can no longer divide his troops.

In desperation, Liu Ye could only make a decision in his heart, give up Anhui City, stick to Lujiang, and at the same time send someone to inform Liu Xun of the situation in Lujiang and wait for help.

It's just that Liu Ye is not sure that he can support it until the moment when Liu Xun leads the army back to help.

Liu Ye would never have thought that in fact, Liu Xun had already heard the news at this time, and led the army to rush towards the Lujiang River, ready to give Sun Ce a little color.

Sun Ce and the others nested in the woods, waiting left and right, until the end of the day, but they still did not see the reinforcements from Lujiang.

Spit out the weeds in his mouth, Sun Ce glanced up at the dazzling sunlight, and after confirming the time, he said hatefully: "It can't be that Liu Ye saw something, why can't he see reinforcements now!" ”

"Didn't Song Qian have an accident?"

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu touched his chin with his hand, frowned on his forehead, and said, "General Song is also a veteran in the army, so he should be fine!" ”

"Reinforcements are still coming at this moment, I guess there are only two possibilities!"

Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's words, and hurriedly asked him, "Gongjin, what are the two possibilities?" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce, and after muttering for a while, he said to him: "One is that Liu Ye has already known in advance that Anhui City has been broken, and has seen our plan, and knows that there must be an ambush here!" ”

"If this is the case, then I don't dare to say whether General Song's situation is good or bad, but I believe that General Song should have a way to avoid this situation!"

"As for the other possibility, I'm afraid it's extremely beneficial to us!"

"If you hadn't seen the plan, Liu Ye still hadn't sent reinforcements, it would only mean that the garrison of the entire Lujiang County was extremely weak at this time, and there was no force for Liu Ye to divide his troops!"

After a pause, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, and his heart seemed a little excited: "Bo Fu, if this is the case, then as long as Zigang's plan is slightly modified, it is very likely that we will take the entire Lujiang County within one day!" ”

"You can take the entire Lujiang County in one day? Gong Jin isn't lying to me! ”

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce smiled at him, and then set his eyes on Zhou Yu's body, quietly waiting for Zhou Yu's explanation.

Zhou Yu chuckled lightly when he saw Sun Ce looking at him, and then said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu is laughing, how dare I deceive Bo Fu!" ”

"Do you remember the bluff strategy that Zigang proposed?"

Sun Ce frowned and responded: "Gong Jin is saying that Zigang said that the strategy of tying branches on the tail of the horse, making people mistakenly think that we have a lot of soldiers and horses, and creating the illusion of a large army attacking the city?" ”

"That's exactly what you want!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce, "What Zigang said is just to use a cavalry to pretend to be a large army to press the border and force Liu Ye to abandon the city and leave!" ”

"However, at this moment, the Lujiang garrison is insufficient, so we can continue to divide our troops and use Zigang's bluff to besiege the rest of the counties in Lujiang County, and the army in the middle will go straight to the Lujiang Governor's Office!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "It's not appropriate! Our forces are not enough to capture the entire Lujiang River in a short period of time, so how can we divide our troops into several ways to attack together! ”

Regarding what Sun Ce said, Zhou Yu chuckled: "Bo Fu, when did I say that I must fight!" ”

"Didn't you say it yourself, Gongjin? It is necessary to take advantage of the lack of defenders in Lujiang to divide the troops into various directions, and use Zigang's bluff to besiege the rest of Lujiang County as county seats......"

Sun Ce was speechless as he spoke, and he found that Zhou Yu really hadn't said that he must attack these county seats, but just to besiege them.

Zhou Yu laughed out loud and said to Sun Ceyan: "Just besiege but not attack!" ”

"You only need to pretend that the army is going to attack the city, when the defenders of the counties in Lujiang see the 'army' coming from the smoke and dust, will they not panic?"

"When this oppressive atmosphere of confrontation between the two armies reaches a certain level, Lujiang will naturally be broken without attacking!"
