Youzhou, Yuyang County. ￡∝，

Lu County.

Lu County is in the south of Yuyang, relying on the Lu River, one of the best long rivers in Youzhou, and named after the Lu River, it is the gateway city in the east of Jicheng.

In the Warring States Period, it is a pass city of Yan to resist the invasion of nomads, as long as the Lu River is crossed, Lu County is taken, and the back can be a horse Pingchuan, directly to Jicheng.

Gongsun Zan retreated, tens of thousands of cavalry counterattacked Jicheng, sweeping the soldiers and horses of Wu around Jicheng, Yan Gu and Zheng Dong were unwilling to pay casualties before the main force arrived, hurriedly retreated to Jicheng, returned to Yuyang, and then cooperated with Gongsun Du Huang Zhong to take the entire Yuyang County in one fell swoop.

Now Yuyang County, up and down the city, has basically been captured by the Wu army, Gongsun Zan hurriedly retreated, even Lu County has given up, here has naturally become the Wu army captured the base camp of Jicheng.

Today's Yan Kingdom, Dai County and Zhuo County in the south have been lost, and several counties in the east have also been lost, only Shanggu and Guangyang remain, Guangyang County has been besieged, Shanggu leads to the prairie, and there is no way to go.

Gongsun Chan can only defend Jicheng.

If Jicheng can be defended, Yan Guo still has a glimmer of hope, can clean up the mess, recover the lost territory, if Jicheng is lost, Yan Guo will be wiped out.

In the middle of May, the temperature in the north soared, and the sun's rays were fierce.

The city of Lucheng is not big, and there are too many soldiers and horses of Wu State, and it cannot be placed in the city, so the soldiers and horses of the main force of Wu State did not enter the city, but camped in a place outside the city.

On a plain surrounded by mountains and rivers, the gate was erected, and the battle flags of the Wu Kingdom were set up to fly in the wind, hunting sounded, and the battle flags were under them. It is a top camp tent towering, even the camp for several miles, and the momentum is extraordinary.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

The generals of Wu gathered together, the two major military Chen Gong Pang Tong sat left and right, and the burly body of the rear general Huang Zhong sat down steadily, Gongsun Du. Yan Gu, Zheng Dong, Gu Bai...... Even Gu Yong and other officials in Pingzhou who prepared grain and grass for the army were all sitting in it.

Sun Ce did not leave his armor, his cloak exuded a silver light, his tall body sat on top of the golden sword, his face was gloomy as water, his eyes were cold as electricity, and he stood not far in front of him. Sun Yi, who was obviously trembling.

At this moment, Sun Yi faced the sharp gaze of his brother Sun Ce, and the whole person cowered, and he didn't dare to come out.

Sun Ce looked at it, and there was a glint of anger in his eyes.

"Third child, is it so terrible? What are you shaking? The man of the Sun family, whether it is wrong or right. If you dare to do it, you dare to do it, look at your cowardice. Is it worthy of being the younger brother of He? ”

Sun Ce was already angry with his private automators, but now when he saw him like this, he felt a little angry in his heart.

In his eyes, in fact, Sun Yi's mobilization of troops is forgivable, although Sun Yi's mobilization made Wu Guodi pay a heavy price, but as his younger brother. He can afford to pay the price.

But after Sun Yi made a mistake, he didn't dare to admit it, and this cowering appearance made him very angry.

Compared to Sun Quan. Sun Yi still has deep feelings in Sun Ce's heart, Sun Yi's personality follows him, he loves to stick to him since he was a child, and he still teaches him martial arts.

Compared with the demonic Sun Quan, this is his younger brother.

As his younger brother Sun Ce, he is not afraid that he will do wrong, but he is afraid that after he does something wrong, he will not dare to admit it.

"Big brother, I know it's wrong!" Sun Yi raised his head, looked at his brother, took a deep breath, stabilized his mood in front of him, and said in a low voice.

"Know it's wrong?"

When Sun Ce heard this, he smiled coldly, his eyes flickered coldly, and said: "You know that private soldiers and other complicit conspirators rebelled, and now there are many people in the court who want to ask the king to establish your crimes!" ”

"Brother, please believe in Yi, Yi has never thought of rebellion, although he is a little anxious to send troops this time, but Yi's heart is just to open up territory for Wu and solve problems for his father."

When Sun Yi heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly analyzed loudly.

Conspiracy?

This is a big crime, if it is confirmed, even if he is Sun Jian's son, he will definitely die.

"Humph!"

Sun Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer, and said: "At this time, you know how to be afraid, what is in your mind, isn't it clear to a certain family?" It's right that you have a heart, and it's not wrong to want to show Xiàn in front of your father, but next time you use your brain, you can know that because of your private army, the court has to change its strategy against Yan State, and we not only betray the name of our allies, but also pay huge casualties, can you afford this responsibility? ”

"My father is exposed because of this, and you must be severely punished."

Sun Ce looked at Sun Yi, whose face was already pale and without a trace of blood, and added coldly, "You can think clearly, how many lives do you have for your father to kill?" ”

"I ......"

Sun Yi trembled, gritted his teeth, and there was a thick fear in his eyes, and he quickly knelt down and looked at Sun Ce with blank eyes.

At this time, he was a little really scared, and of course he was a little unwilling.

This battle was too cowardly, and he hurriedly dispatched troops, coming with a majestic momentum, but in the end he ended up like this, so that he always had some unwillingness in his heart

"Someone!"

Sun Ce looked at Sun Yi, sighed helplessly, and shook his head, this kid is still not mature enough, he can be scared like this in two sentences, he must be polished and polished, otherwise it will be difficult to become a big tool.

"In!"

"Immediately escort the third prince to Pingzhou, board the ship three days later, return to Jinling, and hand it over to Zongzheng!" Sun Ce said coldly.

"Big brother, save me!"

When Sun Yi heard this, there was a slight chill in his heart, and he hurriedly called out.

"If you want to save you, you have to save yourself!"

Sun Ce squinted his eyes and said coldly: "After you return to Jinling, you must have a good attitude of confessing your sins in front of your uncle, and you must bear it if you make mistakes, and this battle is yours to do, so in front of your father, you are not allowed to have any quibbles, understand?" ”

"Yes!"

When Sun Yi heard this, his eyes were slightly happy, and he hurriedly responded.

Sun Ce promised to help him. He knew very well that if Sun Ce didn't make a move, depending on what he committed, he didn't have to die, but the best result was not exile. It's that he is afraid that he will have to sit on the cold bench for the rest of his life.

If Sun Ce came forward to help, he would be snubbed by his father for a few years at most, and he would have a chance to make a comeback.

"Cooper, are you guilty?"

After solving Sun Yi, Sun Ce turned his head, and a cold glow shrouded the big man in battle armor in front of him, and said coldly.

Sun Yi has such a big courage, which is supported by these generals who control the military power.

"The last will be convicted!"

Cooper knelt down and whispered dejectedly.

"You and the others privately cooperated with the third prince to send troops. The third prince is young and ignorant, which can be forgiven, but you are still a general of Wu **zhong, commanding more than 10,000 troops, can't you still tell the difference? ”

Sun Ce took a deep breath, and his eyes fell sharply on Gu Bai's body.

Gu Bai and Zhong Limu cooperated with Sun Yi to send troops, and they should be beheaded according to their crimes, and Zhong Limu was already dead. But Gu Bai, a man, Sun Ce was reluctant to kill him.

Zhong Limu escaped from the battle. Killing is the right thing to do, but although Gu Bai touched the military law, but in times of crisis, he did not retreat to the death, and did not lose the face of Wu Jun, and he was regarded as an iron-clad man.

"Prince. The last general is willing to die to correct Wu** law! Cooper was also neat, raised his sword with both hands, and said in a low voice.

Sending troops without permission was originally a capital crime, even if Sun Yi was from the Wu royal family. It is difficult to protect himself, at most he will escape with his life, and it is impossible to protect these generals who assisted him in sending troops.

Sun Ce's eyes looked at him, a little gloomy and uncertain, he didn't want to kill him, but if he didn't kill, it would be difficult to correct the military law.

"Prince!"

At this time, Chen Gong, the military advisor next to him, walked out, and in his ear, he whispered: "Although General Gu Bai is a capital crime, but now the big war is imminent, if it is a general who kills himself before fighting, it is not a omen, and his subordinates are brave, and I implore the prince to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Guilty of meritorious service?"

When Sun Ce heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, this is a good note, he turned his head, looked at Chen Gong, and asked in a low voice: "Can you make it clear!" ”

"Junhou, we are about to besiege Jicheng, and Jicheng is the capital of Yan Kingdom, the army of Yan Kingdom still has tens of thousands of elites, the city walls are thick, and there are countless grain and grass reserves in the city, it must be a tragic battle!"

Chen Gong's eyes were sharp, and he said loudly: "This battle needs a vanguard army, and the thousands of soldiers under the command of General Gu Bai are all elite soldiers in Pingzhou, and they can be pioneers. ”

This vanguard is not the vanguard of the other, to put it bluntly, to attack such a fortified city, you must be cannon fodder.

"Cooper, are you willing?"

Sun Ce thought about it, Jicheng is indeed not easy to fight, there must be sacrifices, and this can be regarded as giving Gu Bai a chance, he agreed with the construction of Chen Palace in his heart, Gu Bai, who was looking at it, asked coldly.

"The last general is willing!"

When Gu Bai heard this, his spirit was greatly lifted, he raised his head, and glanced at Chen Gong without leaving a trace, with a touch of gratitude, for a soldier, dying on the battlefield is more different than being killed by military law.

And the reason why he agreed to send troops with Sun Yi was because he had an unforgettable hatred for Gongsun Zhan, and now he could become the vanguard of the attack on Jicheng, even if it was cannon fodder, he was willing.

"Okay, this matter is over, you and the others sent troops privately, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers under your command, let's discuss, now before the Jin army, take Jicheng!"

After Sun Ce solved a few people, he immediately stood up and moved to a connected military tent on the left, on top of the big tent, there was a battle map, and in the middle was a detailed sand table of Jicheng.

Jicheng, this battle is very troublesome, facing not only the army of Yan State, but also the soldiers and horses of Jin State, Yuan Shao is the big head, whether he can capture Youzhou, he is very confident, but there is also a touch of melancholy.

"Junhou, from Jizhou, the message of Donghou!"

At this time, a brocade-clothed guard messenger spy came in a hurry, knelt down on one knee, and handed the envelope in his hand.

"Jizhou, Jiangdong where Zhongmou hasn't returned yet?"

When Sun Ce heard this, his expression was slightly surprised, as far as he knew, the millions of Black Mountain Yellow Turban people had now resisted all parts of Wu State, and Sun Quan's task should have been completed.

The navy has also been classified as, and Gan Ning has also withdrawn from Qingzhou, and Sun Yi should have returned to Jinling.

He opened this letter sealed with fire paint, and the handwriting with a strong handwriting on it was Sun Quan's own handwriting.

"Zhongmou is so bold!"

Sun Ce looked at it. His face became more and more gloomy, his eyes widened instantly, he gasped, and screamed out involuntarily.

Sun Quan actually dared to take tens of thousands of troops, and entered Jizhou, the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, alone, and wanted to go north. Attacking the camp and Jin army, isn't this bold?

"Donghou is too reckless!"

"It's too dangerous!"

All the soldiers also saw this letter, and some of them had some eyes and some surprised lights flowing, and Pang Tong Huang Zhong's face changed in shock, and one of them called out in a low voice.

"Is there any news of the conspiracy now?" Sun Ce took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked in a cold voice as the Jinyi Wei who was looking at him.

"Since Donghou led his troops to leave Wusui, there is no trace now. Even the Jinyi Guards could not find any trace of their march. ”

Jinyiwei's herald spies hurriedly said: "The generals of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Jaw, Gao Gan, and Chun Yuliang, add up to nearly seventy or eighty thousand elite soldiers, and now they are all searching for Donghou's whereabouts. ”

"It can't be without news!"

Pang Tong's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately turned over a map of the new army in Jizhou, and several people went up to study the terrain around Wusui City.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even if they meet the eyeliner of our Jinyi Guard, they can't hide the eyes of the Jin Kingdom!"

"Disappeared into thin air?"

"Unlikely!"

"The question is, where is Donghou's goal?"

The generals will say a word to me. Some of them are constantly being debated.

"There is a possibility that it can disappear!" Chen Gong also looked at the map of Jizhou. His eyes flashed with a glint of essence, and he suddenly whispered: "Their tens of thousands of troops have been reduced to zero, and they can enter Youzhou day and night, but they can cross the sea and enter Youzhou!" ”

"Rounded to zero?"

Everyone heard the news. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at each other.

"Chen Junshi!" Sun Ce pondered for a moment and said, "What you mean is that at this time, they have already entered Youzhou!" ”

"They have never been able to catch the traces of Donghou. Therefore, I suspect that at this time, Donghou's soldiers and horses have indeed entered Youzhou unconsciously! ”

Chen Gong nodded and said analytically: "Donghou's purpose should be to assist us in capturing Jicheng, you know, isn't our biggest enemy now Gongsun Zhan, but ...... Yuan Shao! ”

"Surrender Yuan Shao?"

Someone exclaimed, and everyone was in an uproar, which was obviously too bold.

"The Jin Kingdom owns Dai County and Zhuo County, and it can be regarded as winning half of the Yan Kingdom, and now everyone is staring at Jicheng."

Pang Tong began to calm down from his worries about Sun Quan, his eyes flashed, and a somewhat ugly face had a sharp expression, and said: "If anyone can win Jicheng, who can justifiably stay in Youzhou, if Donghou's surprise attack is successful, Yuan Shao will inevitably be difficult to care about, and if we want to capture Jicheng, it will be much easier!" ”

"Jicheng!"

Sun Ce put his hands behind his back, looked at Jicheng on the sand table, and the corners of his mouth outlined a strange arc, and said: "Originally, I was still a little worried, but since I am helping each other, this battle, a certain will win!" ”

"We will definitely assist the prince and marquis, seize Jicheng in one fell swoop, and stay in Youzhou."

Everyone felt the unparalleled domineering in Dao Sun Ce's words, and the confidence in his heart ignited by his voice.

"Huang Zhong!"

"In!"

"You lead 30,000 soldiers, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers, within three people, go to the north city of Jicheng first!"

"No!"

"Gongsun Du!"

"In!"

"The first battle of Youbeiping, well done, the East City Gate is the silence of our army's main attack, you lead 10,000 troops to come first, and then take local materials to build engineering equipment!"

"No!"

"Gu Yong!"

"In!"

Sun Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "This battle is not simple, the city of Jicheng is thick with high walls, Gongsun Zhan's elite plus the remnants of the army, there are seventy or eighty thousand, if the people who defend the city are recruited, with the strength of the Yan Kingdom, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses can be gathered, and then it will be a hard battle, not two or three months, you can't take it, and you must manage it well in the later stage!" ”

He is not a hairy boy anymore, he will not be like before, he always wants to attack such a fortified city overnight, even if it is hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, he must come step by step, step by step, in order to break through.

Moreover, when fighting a war, it is a matter of logistics, and because of the lack of food and grass, there are many people who retreat.

"Rest assured, even if you do your best to Pingzhou, you will definitely ensure that the food and grass of the army are not missing!" Gu Yong's face was firm, and there was a touch of respect in his tone, and he said. (To be continued......)
