It was also thanks to Hua Xin's timely deployment of troops, so before Sun Ce attacked Wu County and transferred troops to fight Danyang City, there were already defensive preparations in Danyang City.

Zhang Ying brought back 8,000 troops from Liyang and Niuzhu's camp, plus Liu Xuan had more than 7,000 troops stationed in Danyang City, and for a while, Hua Xin also gathered about 15,000 troops in Danyang City to guard.

Even if the combat effectiveness of Liu Xuan's soldiers is not very strong, with these trained regular soldiers, plus some temporarily recruited young soldiers, there is still some foundation for guarding Danyang City.

As for the defense line of Liyang Military Town and Dangli, Hengjiang, and Niuzhu camps, they were handed over to Liu Xuan's generals and Chen Henglai to guard, lest Yuan Shu take the opportunity to attack Jiangdong.

Of course, Hua Xin also knew that Zhu Wei, who had a strong military on Yuzhang's side, was also nominally subordinate to Liu Xuan.

Therefore, after clearly getting the news of Sun Ce's attack on Danyang City, he sent a letter asking for help to Yuzhang in the name of Liu Xiang as soon as possible, which led to the situation that the news was later transmitted to Zhu Wei's side.

After that, Sun Ce really led troops to attack Danyang City, that is, he wanted to capture Danyang and control Liu Wei before Zhu Wei on Yuzhang's side could react, so that even if Zhu Wei reacted, Sun Ce could use Liu Miao to restrain Zhu Wei.

However, Danyang City is on guard, even if Liu Miao is seriously ill, Hua Xin can help with the transfer of affairs, and Zhang Ying is in charge of defending the city, so that Danyang City has not been captured by Sun Ce so far.

These are almost the intelligence information that Wang Yuyan can know, because there is no Zhu Wei's Three Kingdoms game system that can intuitively detect Sun Ce's military situation, so Wang Yuyan can only slowly investigate Sun Cejun's situation through other methods.

But what is going on in Danyang City now, Wang Yuyan is not very clear, Sun Cejun has completely cut off Danyang City's external connection, maybe Danyang City has been captured by Sun Ce, maybe Danyang City is still struggling to support.

These can only be known by Sun Ce himself.

Well, let's take a look at the situation on Sun Ce's side, of course Sun Ce knows his current situation.

This time, Sun Ce crossed the river and attacked Jiangdong, but he also brought more than 8,000 elite troops that he had previously recruited and trained in Guangling County, which was much better than the more than 1,000 old troops that he only had to recover from Yuan Shu's department in the original history.

But all he can use is these more than 8,000 elites, and there is no way to gather more troops all the way as he went east like the original history.

Therefore, with the help of Yan Baihu, Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River from Guangling County into Wu County, and could only rely on the method of coercing young people to temporarily expand the army by coercing more than 20,000 young people in Wu County, but the more than 20,000 young people were basically a rabble, and they could only follow the wind and help Sun Ce make a momentum.

At the same time, these young men and women are also a big burden on the consumption of grain and grass materials for Sun Ce's army.

Even if Sun Ce defeated Wu County Taishou Xu Gong in Wu County, and also captured some grain and grass materials from Wu County controlled by Xu Gong, it still made Sun Ce feel a little nervous.

After all, it was not only Sun Ce who captured Wu County, but also Yan Baihu, who was Sun Ce's ally, and Yan Baihu naturally had to share some of the captures.

After that, Zhou Yu finally took advantage of the Zhou family's background in Danyang County, and contacted some local scholars and powerful families, and got some private soldiers and food supplies, and also added more than 5,000 troops and grain supplies to Sun Ce, which was considered to have some combat experience.

But in fact, now Sun Ce's name in Jiangdong can no longer be compared with the original history, Sun Ce in the original history is with the help of Yuan Shu's name to conquer Jiangdong, so it can have a response effect.

But now because Yuan Shu is the emperor, Yuan Shu's name in Jiangdong has become no longer so useful, originally many Jiangdong scholars, Haoqiang families are willing to rely on Yuan Shu, just thinking of the Yuan family's fourth and third princes, so to the Yuan family is looking forward to the future to be able to rely on the Yuan family's big tree in the court to obtain an official and a half position, to maintain the status of the scholars.

But now that the Yuan family has been made by Yuan Shu and has become a traitor in the world, and now the Han family is still the vane of the people's hearts, and these local scholars and powerful families in Jiangdong are naturally a little hesitant to choose.

What's more, now Sun Ce has not relied on Yuan Shu's name, Sun Ce himself has been clearly separated from Yuan Shu, indicating that he will not support Yuan Shu, a traitor, so Sun Ce can only rely on his Sun family's reputation in Jiangdong.

Of course, Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, did have some prestige in Jiangdong, coupled with the secret influence of the Zhou family to which Zhou Yu belonged in Danyang County, these factors also gave Sun Ce great convenience when Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong in the original history.

But now it's different, Sun Ce was defeated in Liyang before, but Zhu Wei rose thriving in Jiangdong, so Sun's prestige in Jiangdong has lost a lot.

In addition, under the reminder of Zhu Wei, Liu Miao also suppressed the influence of Zhou Yu's uncle Danyang Taishou Zhou Shang in Danyang, so the Danyang Shi clan and the Haoqiang family, who originally had some contact with Zhou Yu, could not help but start to wait and see the situation.

Zhou Yu can also help Sun Ce get these manpower and supplies of food and grass materials, which can already be regarded as Zhou Yu's connections and work ability.

So in fact, even if Sun Ce crosses the river and enters Jiangdong this time, there are really few scholars and powerful families who can correspond to Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and more people are still looking at the wind direction and the situation, and they will not end the investment so soon.

In this way, Sun Ce was even more eager to capture Danyang City.

Only in this way can Sun Ce re-erect the Sun banner in Jiangdong and climb on the name of Liu Xuan, so that the scholars and powerful families in Jiangdong can be attracted by his strength and give him more support and help.

In fact, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also found out that Liu Miao was seriously ill and could not preside over the matter, so they dared to set the decapitation tactic of attacking Danyang.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xin got a Hua Xin to come out to preside over the affairs, and then Hua Xin actually recruited Zhang Ying to bring back the troops to guard Danyang City.

Therefore, Sun Ce's battle against Danyang City encountered obstacles at the beginning, which was much more difficult than he originally imagined, but Sun Ce was still ready to continue his Jiangdong strategy and forcibly capture Danyang City at any cost, so as to erect the banner of the Sun clan in Jiangdong.

Although Sun Ce also knew that Liu Miao had stored a large number of weapons, grain and grass in the Niuzhu camp, it was a pity that he could not use many troops, and if he divided his troops to conquer the Niuzhu camp, it would be even more difficult to attack Danyang City.

Besides, compared to his current location, Niu Zhu's camp needs to bypass Danyang City and continue to go deep into Danyang.

At the same time, Liu Miao still retained some guarding forces on the side of the Niuzhu camp, so Sun Ce sent fewer troops, and he may not be able to defeat them, and if he sent more troops, it would not be enough to threaten Danyang City.

Therefore, Sun Ce wanted to concentrate all his efforts to capture Danyang City, so after controlling Liu Xuan, the Niuzhu camp, the two ferries of Jiangbei Hengjiang and Dangli, which originally belonged to Liu Xuan, and even the Liyang Military Town, may be surrendered and surrendered.

In this way, Sun Ce can take over all of Liu Xuan's foundation, and then face Zhu Wei's possible counterattack......
