Chapter 469: The Genus of Yu Zhang (I)

Zhou Yu is known as one step and three plans, which is by no means in vain. After only listening to Sun Ce's words, he immediately realized the key to it.

The Yuzhang on which Sun Ce is based is located on the left side of Lingnan, adjacent to the four counties of Jingnan, which have always pursued a policy of retreat, and which have always pursued a policy of retreat, and which are beyond the reach of Liu Biao's whip, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and also produce more grain.

Previously, in order to solve the death situation of Sun Ce's lonely place, Zhou Yu used the grain and grass produced in this county and the iron tools that were difficult for the Shanyue people to reach, and got in touch with the Shanyue clan in the mountains between Yuzhang County and Danyang County. These barbarians, in the eyes of Zhou Yu, who is quite knowledgeable about soldiers, may not be able to resist even a charge of the most inferior cavalry in the Central Plains on the flat battlefield, with their rather bad military discipline and the strength of the troops that are not in formation at all. But if it is changed to Jiangdong, especially in the mountainous terrain near the left of Lingnan, these barbarians can really be said to be like fish in water. Those checkpoints built in the treacherous terrain of the mountains may be insurmountable moats for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, but for these barbarians who have grown up in the mountains and forests since childhood, trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground, if they want to take advantage of the situation to attack, it is as simple and easy as eating and drinking.

According to Zhou Yu's expectations. It was Xiao Pass that Liu Miao personally led his troops to guard, and the army was only about 10,000 people, under the strong attack of the 20,000 army of Yan Baihu's father and son who were "persuaded" by Zhou Yu, plus 5,000 barbarians led by the sect marshal Zulang. There were ten days, and it was normal for Qin Xu to change hands before the matter of Guangling was successfully resolved. Even Guo Jia's rumors are full of loopholes in Zhou Yu's opinion. Zhou Yu also didn't have the heart to expose it, just waiting to see Lu Bujun's joke at the end. Anyway, Zhou Yu didn't really put all his hopes on the matter of Xiao Guan, Yuzhang is separated from Wu County, Danyang on the top, and Huiji on the bottom, even if he broke through Liu Xuan's base camp, for the Sun family's forces. In fact, there is no direct benefit. On the contrary, it will also help the "arrogance" of Yan's father and son to get out of control, so it is better to use the hands of Yan's father and son to consume Wu County's troops. At the same time, he was able to delay Qin Xu's time to gain time for the Fuguan war, so he simply let Guo Jia, who stayed in Qu'a, who was said to be the left army division of Lu Bu's army, sang and performed by himself. It is not necessary to debunk its tricks. Pingbai increases the difficulty of the raider.

Zhou Yu thinks that he has taken care of everything. The combat power of Danyang soldiers and the grievances with Qin Xu, Zhou Yu knows a little. Even if he Qin Xu is really the god of war, when the main force of Lu Bu's army goes north, he relies on the nearly 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers in Xiapi to fight against the veteran Danyang soldiers, in Zhou Yu's opinion, no matter how fast it is, it will take at least ten days and a half months. At that time, let alone rescue Fuguan to protect Huiji County. I'm afraid that even Wu Jun will be taken away by Yan Baihu. At that time, the Sun clan forces could take advantage of the war between Qin Xu and Yan's father and son to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

I have to say. Zhou Yu's plan is perfect. Almost every step that Qin Xu's soldiers were about to take was already in Zhou Yu's calculations. But what Zhou Yu didn't expect was anything. Qin's methods from 1,800 years later have become the shortcoming point of Zhou Yu's strategy. God knows that the battle between the two strong armies of the opposing sides will end as dramatically as they did in half a day. Danyang soldiers, those soldiers, oil and soldiers, why are they so soft on Qin Xu? Zhou Yu couldn't figure out what he thought. It wasn't until he saw that the Fuguan was about to be broken that Zhou Yu got the news. It turned out that Qin Xu once again proved the rumor that he was a "god man" with practical actions, and used the "divine thunder" that once made Cao Cao's 40,000 army trample on each other, copied the strange incident of recovering the Yellow Turban Army when he was in Qingzhou, and forced the Danyang soldiers to surrender in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yu is dismissive of statements such as gods and men. In the past, Zhou Yu also suspected Qin Xu more than once, or that there were children of the Mo family involved in the Lu Bu army behind Qin Xu. After all, it happened when the Han Dynasty was founded, Zhang Liangji and the matter of crossing the wall ladder were already widely spread, although the Mo family was in decline when Emperor Wu was in decline, but Zhou Yu, as a member of the same family, still heard some news that the Mo family was still active.

But none of that matters anymore. After Zhou Yu, who had been arranging the calculation of Fuguan before, heard that Sun Ce ordered someone to send someone who was four or five days late, Qin Xu only took half a day to recover the Danyang soldiers, and had successfully crossed the river, after the news of the Jiangzhu tidal flat garrison, Zhou Yu already had an ominous premonition.

Four or five days. For the Han Dynasty, the road basically relied on walking, and the word basically relied on roaring, in fact, it was not a very long time. But that's also the point of view. In short, Zhou Yu has reason to believe that Qin Xu, who was able to break the Danyang rebels in half a day and recover Guangling, is extremely likely to create another miracle in a short time, or even shorter. However, although Zhou Yu had this idea in his heart, he was also the same as Sun Ce. There was a bit of a fluke to be swept away by the imminent massive victory. For Qin Xu's ability to defeat the Danyang soldiers, in addition to being shocked by Qin Xu's means, there is also a reason why the Danyang soldiers surrendered so easily in their hearts has something to do with Qin Xu's leading of Xuzhou and raising Danyang soldiers for two years. After all, these years pay attention to kindness and righteousness, no matter how strong and arrogant Danyang soldiers are, they will have some scruples about Qin Xu, the "old master". And now the Fuguan will be broken soon, the lesser of the two evils, if you can really break the Fuguan, and drive straight into the territory of Huiji County and Wu County, then even if Qin Xu has a strong general, and even if he really breaks Yuzhang, it doesn't matter, according to Huiji and Wu County, at that time, he will fight away on the old territory of the Sun family, and it will be even more difficult to gain the upper hand again.

Therefore, Zhou Yu saw that the battle in Fuguan was in full swing, and a big victory was in sight, and he was a little lucky, so he temporarily suppressed the worry in his heart, and concentrated on leading his troops to attack the west side of Fuguan, in order to respond to the strategy of attacking the east and the west that Sun Ce had offered before, hoping to make a time difference, and gamble that he could take this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Fuguan Pass before Qin Xu's army arrived to rescue Fuguan.

It seems that Zhou Yu's luck is not as good as Qin Xu after all. Seeing that he was about to get what he wanted, the abnormality at the juncture directly poured a jar of cold water on Zhou Yu's heart. And the arrival of Pan Zhang. It made Zhou Yu's wet chest thickly covered with ice.

I'm really worried about what's coming! Zhou Yu saw Pan Zhang, but he didn't wait for Pan Zhang to speak. In Pan Zhang's slightly flustered face, he guessed the current predicament. This time, I listened to Sun Ce's semantics again. The thing that worried Zhou Yu the most still happened.

Huang Gai is a grain officer, in order to ensure that Yuzhang's grain road in Fuguan is unblocked, it is easy to say. But Han Dang was Sun Ce's reused general, and almost handed over the entire border defense of Yuzhang to him, so that Han Dang led Zhu Zhi, Sun Jing and other absolute cronies, as well as newly invested generals such as Ling Cao and Quan Rou. It is well protected. But at present, Han Dang, who has always regarded military orders as mountains, and was ordered to stick to the north of Yuzhang in case Danyang and Shanyue did not listen to military orders and led a large army here. said that he wanted to "rescue" Sun Ce, it can be said that the north of Yuzhang has been opened on all fronts, and Zhou Yu no longer understands Qin Xu's intentions, but it really insults his name for Jiangdong Zhou Lang's good strategy.

"Young master! The end will be too late for help. I hope that the Lord will forgive your sins! Sun Ce was staring hatefully at the top of the Fuguan city wall. The soldiers' fighting spirit was retreating because of the arrival of Qin Xu's army, and the Taishi Ci army, which had just been suppressed and was almost powerless, was slowly regaining the victory, causing the previous strong attack of the Sun army's strength to fall short, but the two veterans Han Dang and Huang Gai, who came first, had already been brought to Sun Ce.

"Qin Xu! Qin thief! Sun Ce turned a blind eye to the arrival of the two veterans, stroked his chest with one hand, and roared through gritted teeth.

"Young master?" Han Dang has the most straightforward temperament, seeing Sun Ce like this. Even if you have to ask what it is. was grabbed by Cheng Pu and asked in a deep voice, "Yigong." If you don't abide by your duties, why did you bring troops here? ”

"I ...... I'll wait...... Demou, what's wrong with this? We came here after seeing the handwritten letter of the young master and Gong Jin. Isn't it? At this moment, Han Dang also saw the strangeness of things. It should have been in full swing on the Fuguan Pass, it seems that the Sun army still has the upper hand, it stands to reason that their reinforcements are here, which increases the chances of capturing Fuguan, and it should be happy. Why are all the soldiers around Sun Ce like mourning, not to mention that even Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, and even Zhou Yu all have a dignified look. Han immediately took out a scroll of letters from his arms that had been dismantled with fire paint on his face full of confusion and handed it to Cheng Pu.

"Young Master...... You see! Cheng Pu suspiciously took the urgent handwritten military order of the so-called Sun Ce and Zhou Yu handed over by Han Dang, and saw that Huang Gai also had the same letter in his hand. Looking at the handwritten letters and sealed letters of the two people who were very familiar with it above, which did not look like a fake at all, Cheng Pu looked through it several times in disbelief, but did not see any hints of fraud, so he had to hand it over to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu with a puzzled face.

"Don't look at it! It must be fake! Sun Ce angrily swept the two letters handed over by Cheng Pu to the ground and said fiercely.

"Fake? But the handwriting and seal on it ...... "Han Dang glanced at Sun Ce, and subconsciously wanted to argue a few more words, but Sun Ce's gloomy face, as well as above Fuguan, obviously had the upper hand, but it was the Sun general's generals who had begun to show signs of retreating, even if Han Dang was stupid, he also saw the strangeness of the matter, and hurriedly stopped.

"Who delivered this letter to you both?" Now the only one in the field who is still somewhat calm is Zhou Yu. Seeing that Han Dang and Huang Gai's expressions didn't seem to be fake, Zhou Yu asked with a frown.

"It's Yan Baihu, who was forced to surrender by Gongjin before, and personally handed it over to us!" Han Dang also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, this kind of thing, to put it mildly, but it is a big crime that misbelieves in the false military order, which will bring ruin to the Sun family's troops, even if Sun Ce sees that their old brother has followed Sun Jian to fight in the south and the north, he will not be punished too severely, but it is not a glorious thing after all, and what Han Dang said will not have the confidence he had before.

"Hey! Yan Baihu! Sun Ce first slammed his hand hard, and almost gritted his teeth and snorted.

"Bo Fu! It seems that the change in Danyang is incomprehensible, I waited for the arrangement again and again, but I didn't expect to underestimate Qin Xu's ability. Yan Baihu's thief, presumably like those Danyang soldiers, was already intimidated by Qin Xu, so he resorted to such a trick, using Fuguan as bait to calculate us. Sooner or later, this matter will make Yan Baihu pay the price! And the current plan, Bo Fu, Qin Xu's army has arrived, it is not a good plan to fight hard, it is better for us to withdraw first, fortunately, there are two generals of Yigong and Gongfu who have brought soldiers to come, and since Yan Baihu wants to use this strategy to deceive the trust of the two generals, the troops he brings must not be much, if we return it in time, maybe the situation in Yuzhang can still be controlled! Zhou Yu's words did speak in Sun Ce's heart. Now although Sun Ce is in a rage, he can also see what he is doing now. Fuguan's matter, at such a big price, is no longer possible. The most important thing now is to keep the camp so that we can have a chance to make a comeback. Yuzhang County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Qin Xu leads his troops to pursue, he can also rely on the advantages of the terrain to ensure that the main force is not lost, so that he has never met Qin Xu's army, and he was deterred by Qin Xu's reputation, although it is not good, but it is the most correct choice in front of him, even if Sun Ce is reluctant, it is estimated that he can only act according to Zhou Yu's words.

"Qin Xu!" With his already blood-red eyes, Sun Ce looked back with difficulty at the mutilated corpses of his army and the Fuguan guards that were piled up almost everywhere under Fuguan, and almost used a hoarse voice to let out a sad roar at the big general flag still planted in Fuguan.
