Chapter 487: Plotting to Pacify Jiangdong (16)

Compared with Lu Su's current tragic situation, Sun Ce's situation is much better. The strategy of going all the way north to "drive away" the Yan generals is undoubtedly correct, according to the report of the exploration horse, the traces of the vanguard and Qin Xu's army have appeared, and the opponent is the old partner of the righteous spirit in history, and the current "number one" enemy Tai Shi Ci.

Sun Ce understood very well in his heart, the town of Wangu County was small and thin, and for Qin Xu's army of nearly 30,000, it would not be too difficult to attack Wangu and attack Yuzhang directly, after he had withdrawn nearly two-thirds of his troops. Although the county city that sits in Wangu is highly recommended by Zhou Yu and called it the style of a wise man, and Sun Ce also knows that he can and intends to leave it for Lu Su who will be of great use in the future, but the feeling of anxiety in his heart does not fade in the slightest.

The combat power of Qin Xu's army, as well as Qin Xu's own ability, will definitely not be contacted a few times now, and Sun Ce, whose "feelings" are quite complicated, is underestimated.

When life is at stake, all ideals and futures are empty. Now Jiangdong is different from the previous few years, under the pressure of the army of Lu Bujun, and vigorously support Liu Xuan, who is quite famous in the Jiangdong Shi clan and is a relative of the Han family, for his own use, and at the same time vigorously express the Jiangdong Shi clan as a noble official and other relatively peaceful ways to express "sincerity", and maintain a temporary, at least superficial peace with the wealthy family, so that the chaos in Jiangdong has gradually calmed down, and the people's minds are determined, and there is already a lack of innate conditions for Sun Ce's personal bravery, vertical and horizontal, Without a place to use, he, Sun Ce, can only be regarded as a martial artist at best. And under the advantages of one another, coupled with the scabs of those wealthy families who once looked down from the wind, they want to make a difference. Even to make a comeback and unify the six counties of Jiangdong, I am afraid it will only be more difficult.

Therefore, Sun Ce can't afford to lose! It's no longer the same time than when he defected to Yuan Shu. At present, the world is in turmoil, and the borderless land has its own basis, and it has fallen into a war, except for Xichuan Liu Yan and his son, Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui and Sichuan Shu, Yongliang land because it is far away from the Central Plains. Relatively stable, the world has long been in chaos. Needless to say, Hebei, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and even Black Mountain thieves. Even Liu Bei, who slipped away, had already taken control of the city and fought for more than two months, without a winner. Even the Central Plains have been affected. Although LΓΌ Bu and Cao Cao privately reached an agreement to "divide Hebei" equally. However, Qingxu, Yanyu and other four prefectures in the Central Plains have already entered the stage of strategic preparedness. And occupy the nine counties of Jingxiang, known as one of the eight horses of Liu Biao, is also unwilling to be lonely, although he has always flaunted the righteousness, but taking advantage of the chaos in Yangzhou, occupied a county in Lujiang, and at the same time with the past two years without much action, the Xiliang defeated soldiers Li Guo and Zhang Ji, who fled from Chang'an and trapped Wancheng in Jingzhou, have great friction. There is a great opportunity to unify Jingxiang's posture in one fell swoop. In this situation, Sun Ce thought about it. Unless it is the wild words that Qin Xu said that day, which was called crazy by the veteran generals in his own army, come true, otherwise within the Han Dynasty, Sun Ce lost this battle, which means that it is very likely that the Sun clan in Jiangdong will completely disappear in Jiangdong, although there is only one county in Yangzhou, but the territory is governed by one-third of the territory of the Great Han. This price, but Sun Ce didn't dare to gamble, he couldn't afford to lose!

"Lord, it's Tai Shici! Tai Shici, who only relied on 4,000 soldiers to block our army's 30,000 troops in Fuguan! "The battle of Fuguan, although it has always been the Sun generals who have the upper hand, almost using the superior forces to suppress the Qingzhou soldiers who are bent on defending the city, and finally forced by the arrival of Qin Xu's reinforcements, they are unwilling to escape, but Tai Shi Ci's tenacity and perseverance of the Qingzhou soldiers have also left a very heavy impression on the Sun generals, so when he learned that the opponent was Tai Shi Ci again, he was still because he was like driving pigs and sheep, and he was chasing after the Sun soldiers behind the Yan soldiers, but there is a bit of timidity in his words at this moment.

"Panic what! Is it possible that Tai Shi Ci is not capable of three heads and six arms? Hurry up and report the geometry of its military strength, it is the Qin thief who has a soldier and a horse to find out! "In the Battle of Fuguan, the most shameful thing is Pan Zhang, who emerged in Sun Ce's army. Pan Zhang, who took Zhou Yu's path and appeared as an old minister of the Sun family in front of Sun Ce, was also frightened by Qin Xu's 30,000 army in the Battle of Fuguan, and it can even be said that it indirectly prompted Sun Ce to make a plan, making Sun Ce a little unable to raise his head in front of the old ministers of the Sun family, who were still called "young masters". This time, Sun Ce did not continue to study further, but still brought Pan Zhang to attack, although it was largely for the heart of Zhou Yu, who still insisted on controlling the rear of Yu Zhang, when he was seriously ill, but it still made Pan Zhang happy. At this moment, seeing that these generals under Sun Ce's command who had fought all the way to the wind showed their cowardice before they saw Tai Shici's face, Pan Zhang only felt that his opportunity to win back his previous face in front of Sun Ce had come. Before Sun Ce could get angry at his generals, Pan Zhang first said angrily.

"This ...... Promise! Seeing that Pan Zhang's overstepping his bounds, Sun Ce didn't even mean to object, but just stared at the direction of Taishi Ci's army formation with a frown, and did not speak, and was reprimanded by Pan Zhang.

"Silicon! Tai Shi Ci is not under Sun, and his troops are fierce, and their strength should not be underestimated, although they were almost defeated in the hands of our army, but it was also because of the lack of troops at that time, you don't have to be too harsh on the soldiers! Pan Zhang's movements were all in Sun Ce's eyes, and Sun Ce was noncommittal, only said lightly.

"Don't worry, lord! The last general has already known about it before. This time, the Qin thieves crossed the border by taking advantage of the Dao Mountain, and the lone army went deep, with the intention of raiding Yuzhang, although it was a great surprise to us, but in fact, there was no need to worry! Pan Zhang didn't hear Sun Ce's voice, he only thought that Sun Ce was worried that Qin Xu and Tai Shici of the "broken queen" were not easy to deal with, and grinned and said: "Then Qin Thief is also a little bigger, although this move really caught our army a little off guard, but it is far away from the mountains, and the grain route must be gone, otherwise it can completely avoid the county town of Wangu and directly attack Yuzhang, in that way, Yuzhang is the real danger." But the Qin thieves first opened up Wangu County, which is connected to Tongfu Pass, so it can be seen that there must be a shortage of military rations! However, Wangu City is small, and although there is some grain in stock, it will never support it for too long, so after it captures Wangu and supplies it for a while, it is the original intention of the Qin thieves to quickly attack Yuzhang. Therefore, although it is left after the Tai Shi Ci is decided, it can be concluded that the number of troops will not be very large, and it will never exceed 5,000, otherwise it is not to say that Yuzhang has a Zhou army division in charge, just besieging the city and fighting, there is also a risk of insufficient troops. Or, the Qin thief didn't know that the lord was here now, and we were about to cut it off and attack him, so Tai Shi Ci was just a lack of troops, and he deliberately let me know and bluff. ”

"Huh?! Wen Si's words won my heart! The original intention of Sun Ce's previous words was to see Pan Zhang, who had a somewhat restrained temperament after being selected by Zhou Yu before, and his arrogant temperament in front of the soldiers had the intention of raising his head, so he casually said a few words that did not hurt or itch to warn him, but he didn't expect that Pan Zhang, who has always been famous for his brave generals, also had such an opinion.

Oh, yes! Qin Xu's army of attackers this time was only nearly 30,000 people, and many of them were in Fuguan after more than ten days of hard work, and the morale and body of the soldiers were among the soldiers who had not yet recovered. And Sun Ce's habitual thinking, including Tai Shici, is absolutely impossible to fully recover in such a short period of time. This also explains very well why Qin Xu's army, which has no fierce generals in the army, does not use a good general who can be comparable to Sun Ce to be a striker, but is used to break the back, which is enough to show that Pan Zhang's words just now are actually valid in reason. In other words, it is very likely that the troops led by Tai Shi Ci, who shook the hearts of the soldiers of this army, may be those who have fought with his own army in Fuguan and may have been placed by Qin Xu in the rear army to recuperate!

So what are you afraid of? Sun Ce is now eager to tell the soldiers under his command who are wavering in their hearts that Pan Zhang's words are more and more reasonable the more he thinks about them.

"My lord! When he was in Fuguan the previous time, the last general was incompetent, and he lost face by dragging the lord! This is an unpardonable sin that will last forever. This time, I also ask the Lord to disclose his grace, and General Rong Mo will lead two thousand soldiers and horses from his headquarters to meet this Taishi Ziyi one step ahead, one to listen to the truth for the Lord, and also to temporarily calm Pan Zhang's shame! Pan Zhang saw that Sun Ce was moved, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his previous miraculous words were too reasonable. Unless Qin Xu came to Yuzhang just to have a leisurely trip, he would definitely not use the elite soldiers as a rear army to protect the grain route that was not accessible at all, not to mention the reason why the "only" general in Qin Xu's army who could take the shot should not be used and stay here.

"Silicon! It is said that since someone in Qin became famous, he has fought more than a dozen battles in the past few years, fighting with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian and other heroes in the world, as well as elite soldiers such as Xiliang soldiers and Youzhou soldiers, and has never been defeated! I have also fought with our army several times, although they all relied on their treacherous tricks to succeed, but as the so-called fame has no vain soldiers, and the strength of the soldiers under his command is also enough to worry, this time I went, mainly with Wen Si, and Sun Mou responded from the side, in case the Qin thief had another trick! However, Wen Si has to be careful this time! If there is any trick, you must save your life! Pan Zhang's timely request for war, and his fighting spirit was high, which was the main reason why Sun Ce had a bad impression of Pan Zhang at the beginning, and also knew Pan Zhang's bad nature of greed for money and power, but in the end he still listened to Zhou Yu's recommendation and regarded it as the main reason for the cultivation of a generation of henchmen of young generals in the army. Therefore, this time, seeing Pan Zhang's shame and courage, and analyzing Tai Shici's "real situation" is the head, he was in a much better mood. I was also a little more sure about what would happen after I could break Tai Shici and then attack Qin Xu's army. Moreover, vaguely, there seems to be a sense of relief that there is no need to fight to the death with Tai Shici again...... (To be continued......)
