Dong Zhuo was naturally happy when he got Qin Guan's report; He was happy not only to get rid of Yuan Shu, but also to let him know the strength of Qin Guan, tens of thousands of troops against Yuan Shu less than 20,000 people, it took half a year, and the casualties were so heavy, when he pacified Jingnan, the strength of Jiangdong Qin Pass was so weak, it would definitely be taken advantage of the situation.

In order to make Qin Guan and Sun Ce fight, Dong Zhuo adopted Li Ru's suggestion, declared Sun Ce a thief, and canceled his inherited Marquis of Wucheng; Changed the seal of Qin Pass to Wucheng Hou, hoping to intensify the contradictions between the two sides.

Qin Guan had long intended to recover Yuzhang County, and Dong Zhuo's move could only help Qin Guan stabilize the place and boost morale.

In August of the fourth year of Xingping, Liu Ye led 5,000 junior cavalry and 20,000 recruited infantry, as well as Ji Ling's 2,000 cavalry and 20,000 recruited infantry to take the lead in setting off from Wuhu; Prepare to go to Yuzhang County; He was accompanied by two divisions, Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong, who were mainly responsible for scouts and special missions.

Qin Guan led 800 trapping camps, 3,000 crossbowmen, 1,500 senior cavalry, 10,000 junior infantry, and 3,000 senior infantry to wait for Liu Ye to occupy Pengze County and then take ships to support. ，

Qin Guan is ready to arrange 3,000 junior cavalry, 10,000 junior infantry and 15,000 recruited infantry to stay in Dantu, and the remaining Zhonglang will be Ling Cao; Even among the recruited infantry, there are also system military attachés serving as officers at all levels, and most of the civilian officials who stay behind the Dantu are also system civilian officials, so Qin Guan is not worried about the safety of the Dantu or Ling Cao's loyalty.

Qin Guan ordered Zhonglang to garrison Zhang Ying and Jun Sima Di in Wanling City to prevent the safety of Xin'an County, after all, Xin'an County had just been occupied, and the people's hearts were not attached, and the four western counties such as Lingyang County and Jing County were all controlled by Shanyue, and the people were fierce and difficult to manage; At the same time, he was responsible for recruiting Shanyue people as soldiers.

The so-called Danyang soldiers with super combat power are from the four counties in the west of Shanyue Qingzhuang, where all are mountainous, the land is barren, the output is very small, the life of Shanyue people is very hard, but also created their good physique and perseverance spirit; They can restrain the tiger and shoot at a certain point, but they are not familiar with the battle formation cooperation, and with a little training, they are strong soldiers.

Although the Shanyue people in other places are also a good source of soldiers, they can fight to the death, and the spirit is much worse than that of Danyang soldiers.

Tao Qian relied on Danyang soldiers to stabilize his rule over Xuzhou.

In history, there were 5,000 Danyang infantry against 80,000 Hun cavalry, which achieved the traitor Li Ling, who had the best reputation in history, and also achieved the prestige of Danyang soldiers.

Because the four western counties were occupied by Yuan Shu and Zhenrong before, there were no Danyang soldiers in Qinguan's army in recent years, which was a big regret for him, and now he had the opportunity, so he made Zhang Ying specifically responsible for recruiting Danyang.

Jun Sima Liaohua was responsible for transporting the baggage.

Zhonglang General Dong Xi, Jun Sima Liu Pi and others also had to go out with Liu Ye's army.

The army led by Liu Ye did not take the waterway, but traveled westward along the south bank of the Yangtze River, setting up a fort every ten miles, building a castle every fifty miles, juxtaposing a county, and gradually advancing, step by step.

Yuzhang County is equivalent to Jiangxi Province in later generations, and its geographical location is extremely closed, surrounded by mountains, and only the plain area in the north or through Poyang Lake in the north can be accessed.

Between Danyang County and Yuzhang County, there are Wulong Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, Baiji Mountain, and Wu County, Huiji County and Qiantang County are also far away from the mountains.

Sun Ce also understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, the reason why he did not support Yuan Shu at the beginning was also due to the limitation of geographical location, and his naval army was really weak compared to the naval army of Qin Guan, and he could not support it from a distance, otherwise it would inevitably lead to the annihilation of the reinforcements.

It was the navy that was the first to strike, and it was the navy that was the first to have a big war.

Gao Shun was a naval officer left behind by Qin Guan, although his ability was not particularly outstanding, but he was loyal and steady.

At this time, Pengze Lake covers a vast area, spanning the north and south of the Yangtze River; In later generations, Poyang Lake had not yet appeared, and the location of Poyang Lake was the Xiaoyang Plain at that time, which was a relatively developed agricultural area.

In order to ensure the victory of the water battle, Gao Wei, who had itchy hands, also led some warships to participate in the battle in the name of Qin Guan's subordinates after putting on makeup; However, the new warships were not brought, and he only led the warships built by the Guangling Shipyard to participate in the battle.

Because the Dantu Shipyard, Guangling Shipyard and Chaohu Shipyard in Qinguan produced similar ships, outsiders could not distinguish them at all, and they only needed to change the flag, and they didn't even need to disguise themselves.

Sun Ce's army was too small to be able to resist the enemy, so he hurriedly withdrew to Ganshui to prepare for the defense of Nanchang City.

With the cooperation of the navy, Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong easily occupied Pengze County, and the navy used Pengze County as a base to patrol on Pengze Lake, and transported Ji Ling and his infantry to Pengze in advance to station, opening the door to Yuzhou County.

According to the situation, Sun Ce promptly put forward the strategy of retreating as advance, lengthening the logistics supply line of the Yellow Turban Army, and leading them to fight in the plain area outside Nanchang.

The people were very supportive of Sun Ce's opinion, they did not have the assistance of the naval army, and avoided fighting on the east and west shores of Pengze Lake, which was easy to be broken by each one, so the strategic retreat could instead concentrate superior forces, give full play to their strengths, and fight in the plains to defeat the enemy.

And this has many benefits, such as lengthening the enemy's logistical supply line, paralyzing the enemy, and other effects.

As a result, detailed rules were quickly drawn up and immediately implemented.

First of all, in the western defense line, abandon the city of Chaisang, which could not be defended, and retreat to Liling County for defense; Liling County is Lushan Mountain in the east, Mufu Mountain in the west, the middle passage is extremely narrow, Liling City is the necessary place for the traffic in the southwest and north of the lake, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In Haiyang County, south of Liling County, a second line of defense was established relying on Jiuling Mountain.

The third line of defense is to deploy along the east bank of Ganshui in the west of Nanchang City.

Sun Ce and the others believed that with these three lines of defense, the army that would ensure that Qin Pass could not attack from the western front.

The difficulty of defense is the eastern front, east and south of Pengze Lake is the plain area, a horse and a flat river, there is no danger to defend, and the division of troops to defend those counties can not have the effect of blocking the enemy at all, so Sun Ce abandoned the eastern counties and established a defensive position with Yuhan City as the center and along the west bank of Yushui.

Before retreating, Sun Ce also forcibly relocated the people of Chaisang, Poyang and Wuyang counties to the vicinity of Nanchang; Population is an important strategic resource, especially in the sparsely populated Yuzhang County; In addition, the three counties were cleared of the wilderness, and all useful materials were transported away, and those that could not be transported were destroyed and burned, destroying roads, houses, cities, etc., making it more difficult for the enemy to advance.

At the same time, Sun Ce also ordered people to block the downstream channels of Ganshui and Yushui, so that the enemy's warships could not go upstream, and he arranged warships in the two rivers to prevent the enemy from crossing the river.

Sun Ce believed that even if the enemy was lucky enough to cross the Ganshui or Yushui, he would suffer heavy losses, and he could rest and use his cavalry superiority to defeat the enemy in the plains between the two rivers.

Now Sun Ce, while preparing for war, is extremely depressed, Jiangdong is his optimistic territory, after breaking away from Yuan, he has the intention of defeating the Yellow Turban Army and occupying the counties of Jiangdong.

Sun Ce's family and Qin Guan's Yellow Turban Army were inseparable enemies, not to mention that Qin Guan confiscated their family's assets and drove them away from their hometown, just to say that Qin Guan paid taxes to the imperial court and handed over Dong Zhuo, it would not be tolerated by Sun Ce.

Before he could act, the Yellow Turbans took the initiative to attack.

At the beginning, he still looked down on the Yellow Turban Army, thinking that the Yellow Turban Army was just a group of rabble, but he didn't expect them to be so powerful and quickly eliminated the two major forces of Yuan Shu and Zhenrong.

What makes Sun Ce even more incomprehensible is why the strength of the Yellow Turban Army's naval army is so strong?

Sun Ce's subordinates were worried, feeling that they were in a state of isolation and helplessness, surrounded by enemies on all sides, they could not tolerate the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo, they were declared anti-thieves, and they had a relationship with Liu Pan in the west who killed their father, and they would never get Liu Pan's support.

And Liu Pan is now difficult to protect himself, and after Dong Zhuo eliminates Liu Pan, he will never let Sun Ce go.

The forces of the Yellow Turban Army in the east and Jiaozhou in the south have all taken refuge in Dong Zhuo, who controls the imperial court; They were also separated from the Lusu forces in the north by the Yangtze River.
