Yuan Shu sent Lei Shu Chen Lanle to resist Sun Ce and prevent him from crossing the river, Lei Shu knew that Sun Ce was not easy to deal with, and personally sent 50,000 soldiers to garrison Liyang to strictly prevent Sun Ce from crossing the river from Shicheng.

Lei Shu asked Chen Lan to lead 30,000 troops to garrison Shucheng, and Le divided 20,000 troops to garrison Linhu, the purpose was to prevent Zhou Yu from rushing to Sun Ce's aid.

It's just a pity that Anhui County has always been in the hands of Xu Sheng and Lu Dai, and there are 20,000 elite Qingzhou soldiers stationed in Anhui County.

Zhou Yu crossed the river from Chaisang, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses in Chaisang to guard against Jiangxia's Zhang Yun, and then led Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng to join forces, totaling 30,000 soldiers and horses, which was on a par with Chen Lan.

Sun Ce was unable to cross the river for a long time, if Zhou Yu rashly attacked Chen Lan, it was likely to attract a counterattack from Le Yu and Lei Shu's army, not to mention capturing Shucheng at that time, I was afraid that even Anhui County would not be able to keep it.

The 100,000 troops under Lei Shu are the soldiers and horses recruited by Yuan Shu in the early stage, and they are well-trained, this is already the last trump card force in Yuan Shu's hands, they are only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they really can't fight hard with the other party, not to mention that they have to guard against Zhang Yun in Jiangxia, and strictly prevent the other party from taking advantage of the fire to rob Yuzhang.

This is not an impossible thing, if Zhang Yun sent troops from Jiangxia and Liu Pan sent troops from Changsha, then Yuzhang was in danger, so he didn't move any of Yuzhang's county soldiers, and left 10,000 elite Qingzhou soldiers stationed in Chaisang, just in case.

Fortunately, Zhuge Xuan of Yuzhang County is a trustworthy person, Zhuge Xuan is the uncle of Zhuge Liang's brother, after Zhuge Liang's father died, Zhuge Xuan went to Liu Biao to seek development, but he was not reused, and later accepted the recruitment of Yuzhang Taishou and became Yuzhang Juncheng.

When Sun Ce attacked Yuzhang, Yuzhang County Guard fled, leaving Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Xuan originally had the heart to resist, and later learned that Sun Ce turned out to be a secret son of Yanhou, so he returned to Yanhou, and it was with his assistance that Yuzhang was able to settle down so quickly, and there was not much change because of the change of ruler.

Sun Ce couldn't cross the river from Shicheng, where Lei Shu's army was garrisoned, and it was easy to be attacked by half-crossing, so he had to find another way.

At this time, one of Sun Ce's subordinates gave him an idea: "Why don't the general cross the river from Wuhu downstream, although the water is turbulent and dangerous, there is still a long distance from Lei Shu and Le, if the general crosses the river from here, he can just take it by surprise and attack it unprepared." ”

It was Zhu Zhi who spoke, Zhu Zhi followed Sun Jian to discuss Dong in his early years, after Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce went north to Youzhou, Zhu Zhi returned to his hometown Danyang to live in seclusion, after Sun Ce captured Danyang, he specially asked his uncle to go out of the mountain to assist, and Zhu Zhi also agreed to Sun Ce's request.

After Zhu Zhi left the mountain, he also recommended his friend Ling Cao to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce relied on the two a lot militarily.

"Crossing the river from Wuhu?" Sun Ce felt that this method was feasible, but to overcome the situation of the rapid current, it was necessary to cross the river in a big boat, but the two boats under Zhou Yu's command were in Chaisang, and even if he sent a letter, it would take some time.

Zhu Zhi took the opportunity to say: "The general is worried about the ferry? ”

"Exactly!" Sun Ce did not hide it, and said: "If our army crosses the river from Wuhu, it must be a building boat, but now Danyang is full of small boats, and there are no building boats, so I am sad about this." ”

"Why should the general be sad, others may not be able to do anything about this matter, but Lingyun Gongzi must have a way, why didn't the general let him handle the ferry."

"Lingyun? That's right, how did I forget him, he is the eldest son of the lord, and there is still a boat of the Qingzhou Navy Master in Guangling, and Lingyun will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Now the Qingzhou Navy Division is also the commander of the Navy Governor's Mansion with Tai Shici, Zhou Yu is no longer the general of the Qingzhou Navy Division, Sun Ce told Ling Yunyi about the ferry, and Su Jin swore that he would get two building ships within five days.

After Su Jin accepted the task, he directly asked Guan Xing to take his letter to Guangling to find Zhang Hong, and asked Zhang Hong to temporarily lend him the two building ships parked in Guangling.

Of course, Zhang Hong could not refuse Su Jin's request, and after consulting the lord Su Chen, he ordered the two boats to sail to Wuhu, and Sun Ce immediately crossed the river in Wuhu.

The two building ships parked in Guangling are large ships that have just been built by Qingzhou Shipyard, which were originally prepared for the Battle of Yangzhou, and now they are just in handy.

Sun Ce led 30,000 elite soldiers to cross the river in Wuhu, and after crossing the river, Sun Ce immediately sent a messenger to contact Zhou Yu, preparing to attack Chen Lan in Shucheng and Le in Linhu first.

Zhou Yu received Sun Ce's secret letter, convened the generals to discuss the matter, and soon determined the combat policy, Zhou Yu led the troops to attack Shucheng, and then the music of Linhu was bound to come to help, Sun Ce just took the opportunity to occupy Linhu, and then the two joined forces to besiege Shucheng, as long as Shucheng was breached, Lujiang fell into their hands, at that time, I was afraid that the attack and defense would be easy to change, and what I should worry about was the thunder book.

Sun Ce gave Su Jin an order, that is, to let the two thousand eagle cavalry guards and the ten thousand Danyang soldiers under his command stay in Xiang'an to resist the Lei Shu army that might come to help.

After Su Jin received the order, he immediately convened everyone to discuss how to resist the support of Lei Shu, you must know that the other party has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, fortunately, they have a cavalry, which can come in handy at a critical time.

Han Hao suggested: "General, instead of sitting in Xiang'an, let's take the initiative to attack, we have a cavalry force like the Eagle Cavalry Guard, which comes and goes without a trace, why not directly insert this sharp knife into the heart of the enemy, at that time, Lei Shu will not be able to take care of himself, how can he still have the strength to support Shucheng." ”

"Captain Han, can you elaborate on the plan?" Han Hao's proposal was very constructive, and Su Jin listened to it very heartily.

"Yes." Getting Su Jin's affirmation, Han Hao continued: "I mean we only need to use infantry to defend the city, as for the Eagle Cavalry Guard, we can move to Hefei for a generation, and even threaten Chengde Shouchun, at that time Yuan Shu will not tolerate such a cavalry flowing around Jiujiang, and now the soldiers and horses that can be used under Yuan Shu's command are only Lei Shu, we only need to drag Lei Shu's soldiers and horses, and wait for General Sun and General Zhou to conquer Su Chen, and then break through each of them, Lei Shu will not be worried." ”

"What does Kong Ming think?" Although Su Jin agreed with Han Hao's proposal, he still wanted to ask Zhuge Liang's opinion.

"This plan works!" Zhuge Liang said: "However, the general can't personally lead the troops, so it's better to hand over this battle to Captain Han and Captain Guan, both of whom are battle-hardened people, and I believe they will definitely live up to the general's expectations." ”

Su Jin also knew that as Su Chen's eldest son, it was impossible for him to carry out such a dangerous task in person, so he could only stay in Xiang'an to defend the city.

Although there was some regret in his heart, after all, the Eagle Cavalry Guard was formed by him, and it was also his achievement that he made a contribution, so he ordered: "Han Hao, Guan Ping listens to the order, and orders the two of you to lead the Eagle Cavalry Guard out of the city to find an opportunity to fight, with Han Hao as the main body, Guan Ping as the auxiliary, and be sure to delay time for our army to conquer Shucheng." ”

"The last general obeys!"
