Sun Ce and Zhou Yu seemed to have discussed a ruthless plan in Danyang City.

Soon after, the entire Danyang City became chaotic, Sun Ce sent troops to carry out a thorough ransacking of Danyang City, and organized all the ordinary people into a new army of young and strong people, old and weak women and children according to the difference between men, women and children, so it is tantamount to using his family as a hostage, forcing the young and strong in Danyang City to work hard for Sun Ce.

At the same time, all the wealthy families in Danyang City were also directly raided, and all the direct members of the rich families were killed, and the family wealth and grain were plundered into Sun Ce's public treasury, and other servants and private people who were attached to the homes of these rich families were also incorporated into Sun Ce's new army or auxiliary camp.

Originally, although Sun Ce said that he would slaughter the city if he captured Danyang City, but for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the future, it was naturally impossible to really do it.

Therefore, after Sun Ce invaded Danyang City, he just found some big families to open the knife and rewarded the soldiers with the money of the big families.

It can be said that the ordinary people and most of the wealthy families in Danyang City can still be safe and sound, but now Sun Ce completely disregarded the impact and showed his cruel side.

In this way, he controlled all the manpower and financial resources in Danyang City in his own hands, and after that, there was no free body in Danyang City, and all of them became pawns under his Sun Ce's control.

Danyang City was originally under the control of Liu Xuan, but it was also a stable city in Jiangdong, with a population of at least more than 200,000.

Previously, Sun Ce came to attack Danyang City, maybe 20,000 or 30,000 people fled from Danyang City, and then Hua Xin and Zhang Ying also recruited 10,000 or 20,000 young men to defend Danyang City, and naturally there were a lot of losses, but after Sun Ce attacked Danyang City, the population of Danyang City was at least about 150,000.

Now the men in Danyang City who were coerced by Sun Ce from the age of fourteen to fifty were all incorporated into the new army, which suddenly made Sun Ce add nearly 50,000 new troops to the original 20,000 troops.

Although these 50,000 young and strong new soldiers are basically a rabble with unstable hearts, the families of these new army soldiers have been incorporated into the auxiliary camp by Sun Ce and controlled by Sun Ce, which makes them have to be driven by Sun Ce to a certain extent.

At the same time, after Sun Ce attacked all the rich families in Danyang City, he also killed at least 10,000 direct members of these rich families, but after looting the family wealth of these rich families, he actually got enough grain and grass for Sun Ce to feed his current army of nearly 70,000 for two months.

Although Liu Miao burned the grain stored in the city when he withdrew from Danyang City before, these grains hidden in the homes of wealthy families still gave Sun Ce some time to ease his breath.

However, these grains and grasses can only meet the needs of Sun Ce's army, and if they have to supply the so-called auxiliary battalion composed of nearly 80,000 old and weak women and children, I am afraid that they will not be able to meet the needs of January.

Therefore, Sun Ce quickly asked Zhou Yu to lead Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Chen Wu, with about 8,000 elite soldiers from Guangling, 5,000 elite soldiers from Jiangdong, plus 20,000 Danyang New Army and 50,000 auxiliary battalions from the old and weak to leave Danyang, and it seemed that he was going to Wucheng to support Yan Baihu.

In this way, Sun Ce left the veterans Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu on the Danyang side, as well as more than 8,000 Jiangdong new troops, 30,000 Danyang new troops, plus 30,000 old and weak auxiliary battalions, which can be regarded as preparing to stay in Danyang City.

However, Sun Ce did not leave too much grain and grass in Danyang City, but only left grain and grass that could be eaten for about half a month, and other grains, including all kinds of property looted in Danyang City, were handed over to Zhou Yu to take away.

It can be said that Sun Ce's actions completely regarded himself as the original Yellow Turban thief, and made the entire Danyang City empty.

But this method was also very effective for a while, so that Sun Ce had a lot of manpower to control, so that Sun Ce still controlled a combatable army in his hands, so that Sun Ce could continue to carry out the next plan.

Of course, although Wang Yuyan didn't know what was happening in Danyang City, she naturally found out about Zhou Yu leaving Danyang City with so many people at the first time.

Wang Yuyan immediately sent someone to investigate the situation, but because Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had tightly controlled the population under their coercion, even if there was a detailed presence sent by Zhu Wei in the new army and auxiliary battalions they were coercing, there was no way to send the news out.

Therefore, Wang Yuyan only knew that Zhou Yu brought a lot of troops and seemed to have gone to support Yan Baihu in Wucheng, but Sun Ce still had a lot of manpower in his hands and stationed on the side of Danyang City.

At first, Wang Yuyan thought that this was Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's plan to get rid of the golden silkworm, so while sending scouts to keep an eye on Zhou Yu's whereabouts, she also mobilized the army at the first time and made a gesture to attack Danyang City.

After Wang Yuyan laid out the overall situation of Jiangdong, she was naturally also considering the possible changes and responses of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Wang Yuyan believed that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were not characters waiting to be killed, so now should be the time for them to respond.

It's just that Wang Yuyan is not an immortal, so naturally it is impossible to completely anticipate Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's coping methods.

At this time, according to the information of Zhou Yu's army from the scouts, Wang Yuyan knew that Zhou Yu had actually taken away nearly 100,000 people, which was to empty the population of Danyang City.

In this way, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but wonder if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were ready to retreat to Guangling County, but they wanted to coerce the population of Jiangdong to fill the population of Guangling County.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Yuyan to agree to such actions as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

However, Wang Yuyan is not very worried about this matter, with Cai Mao's Jiangling naval army blocking the Yangtze River, it is almost impossible for Zhou Yu to secretly cross the Yangtze River with nearly 100,000 people.

Therefore, Wang Yuyan just sent a message to Cai Mao, whose troops were all in Zhenze (Taihu Lake), as soon as possible, asking him to be careful of Zhou Yu's attack, and to take care of the Yangtze River waterway, especially the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River, and not to let Zhou Yu take advantage of the situation to cross the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Wang Yuyan also sent a message to Wang Lang, asking Wang Lang to be careful that Zhou Yu led his troops to attack Huiji, and if necessary, he could first transfer Zhou Xin and Kan Ze's troops to attack Wucheng back to Qiantang to defend the main road to Huiji.

Then, Wang Yuyan was ready to concentrate on dealing with Sun Ce who stayed in Danyang City.

Of course, Wang Yuyan first had to determine whether it was Sun Ce on the side of Danyang City, so on the day Wang Yuyan found out that Zhou Yu's soldiers had left, she ordered the army to move together, and took Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhang Ying, and Chen Heng to send troops to Danyang City.

In a short time, Wang Yuyan had already set up a military formation about a mile away from Danyang City, and then Huang Zhong and Tai Shici went to Danyang City with 3,000 sword and shield men and 2,000 crossbow archers to challenge.

The main purpose of this time was to determine whether Sun Ce was in Danyang City, but now Wang Yuyan also knew that after Sun Ce was disfigured, he had been wearing a bronze mask on his face, so if someone else pretended to be Sun Ce, it would be difficult to tell the difference.

Therefore, Wang Yuyan can only be verified through the martial arts of Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, if Sun Ce dares to come out to fight, he can immediately judge whether Sun Ce is the real Sun Ce......
