Chapter 212 - Bloody Battle Draws Guo
Former General's Mansion, in the lobby.
As soon as Gongsun Zhan's words fell, Sun Quan's expression suddenly became happy, and then he was a little stunned. He originally thought that he would have to talk more, but he didn't expect Gongsun Chan to agree so quickly.
It is risky to send troops first and then give food, if after he sends troops, Jiangdong plays tricks and does not give food, then his grandson Chan will lose a lot.
"Is he really not afraid of Jiangdong's debts?"
Sun Quan couldn't help but squint his eyes, staring at the rough man in the hall, although he didn't know much about Gongsun Zhan, but there was one thing, Jiangdong and Youzhou were not mixed in the first place, he didn't think that Jiangdong had the ability to make Gongsun Chan trust unconditionally.
"Hehe, you rely on it."
Gongsun Zhan naturally knew the doubts in Sun Quan's heart, but he had his own opinions, and he was really not afraid of Jiangdong's debts, so he made a generous gesture.
First, he and Jiangdong are now allies, and he believes that Jiangdong will not destroy the relationship between the two sides for the sake of 8,000 koku's grain.
Second, Jiangdong borrowed troops for Liaodong, Liaodong was by his side, and the monks who ran couldn't run the temple, if Jiangdong was to repay the debt, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses he lent out were not vegetarians, and he directly counterattacked and united with Gongsun Du, which was enough for Jiangdong to land in Liaodong.
"Okay, the matter of borrowing troops has been decided, 30,000 elite soldiers will not take the land route, there will be Jiangdong warships, cross the sea area of Liaodong, land from Fangxian County, Liaodong, food, within half a month, Jiangdong will definitely be delivered, no less."
"No problem!"
The two of them have already negotiated, so after the matter of borrowing troops is decided, immediately after, the lobby begins to be lively, compared to borrowing troops, the alliance is a big deal.
"The alliance between Jiangdong and Youzhou is beneficial to both of us."
……
"Gongzi Quan, I only see that the establishment of the port is best for you, what is the benefit for us?"
……
"The two places are interconnected, caravans are passed, and the goods trade between Jiangdong and Beidi can make us grow stronger."
……
"Jiangdong's warships can run rampant on the sea, since we are allies, can we sell warships to us?"
"Yes, but the cost of the warship is extremely high, you think twice."
……
Sun Quan alone, for the interests of Jiangdong, fought with each other, from the morning to the afternoon, the two sides talked and argued carefully, and after the details of the alliance, they officially exchanged documents with each other and formed an alliance in Jicheng.
Although this time the alliance is actually not very formal and stable, there is no direct conflict of interest between the two sides, and the cooperation between the north and the south is still very interesting.
And this alliance is an alliance between the two top princes in the world, and the meaning of the existence is heavy, you must know that the forces of Jiangdong and Youzhou combined, no one can stop it.
――――――――――――
At this moment, the battle of Pingguo City has also reached a white-hot point, and the Liaodong fierce general Gao Lie braved the wind and snow weather in order to quickly solve the battle, and directly attacked the heavy troops that had been invested from the beginning.
"Kill, give the city gate to open the ladder, drive the ladder, kill it, don't give them a chance to breathe!"
Gao Lie stood under the city, shouted loudly, and stormed for three days, but still failed to take Pingguo, and his heart was already manic.
He and Sun Ce fought three times, but they were all forcibly bombarded by Sun Ce relying on the innate topography of the city wall, and it was difficult to advance an inch.
"Block, the ladder on the left, come up, hit a certain down."
The city wall of Pingguo was not high, in the face of the fierce Liaodong soldiers, the Hushi and Xuzhou soldiers under the leadership of Sun Ce, fought to the death at the head of the city, in the sound of drums, up and down the city wall, in the ice and snow, the stump arm and leg were broken, and the blood was bright.
"Eldest prince, it's not good, there is a gap in Dongcheng that has been breached, and now there are hundreds of Liaodong soldiers entering the city." A tiger soldier got out of the car and hurriedly came to report.
"What?" Sun Ce directly picked down a Liaodong county soldier who had already boarded down with one shot, his eyes were furious, and he said coldly: "What about Mi Fang and Lei Ding?" What are they doing, they can't hold the eastern city wall! ”
"Bo Fu, the east city wall has not been repaired for many years, it is already fragile, it was attacked by the enemy's catapults, even if it is broken, it is not surprising, no wonder they, I believe that Captain Mi and Lei Sima should lead the troops to resist, so let's take a song of soldiers and horses, take a trip, and pack up the Liaodong soldiers who entered the city!" Zhou Yu's face was stern, his body was covered in silver armor, and he said in a low voice.
"Wait, Gong Jin, we can't go on like this, if it goes on like this, even if the navy of Xuezhou lands, Pingguo may not be able to hold it, and even if it does, it will suffer heavy casualties."
Sun Ce took a deep breath, his eyes became sharp, and he stared at the Liaodong soldiers under the city like a tide, and there was a chill in his heart.
He underestimated these Liaodong soldiers and horses, and now he has suffered heavy casualties.
There is a huge difference between Liaodong and Jiangdong, Jiangdong is rich, and Liaodong is poor mountains and bad waters, and poor mountains and bad waters come out of Diao people, this is not to say, the soldiers who come out here are all elite soldiers, a physique is hardcovered, and he is familiar with the battle mode of ice and snow.
And whether it is the tiger soldier under the car under his command, or the Xuzhou soldier who has overcome the water and soil adaptation, fighting in the ice and snow, they still seem unaccustomed and cannot exert their due combat effectiveness, so the battle of the guide zhì was one-sided from the beginning.
"Now that our defeat has been revealed, we have to make a surprise move to save the situation."
Now that there are a large number of casualties among the Hushi and Xuzhou soldiers under the car, the entire defense line is already in jeopardy, and Sun Ce knows that even if the navy lands, it may not be able to hold Pingguo.
"Bo Fu, you want to attack as defense." Zhou Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he understood what Sun Ce meant.
"Will it work?" Sun Ce asked with a hint of hope in his eyes.
"Okay!"
Zhou Yu stared at the Liaodong soldiers who kept rushing up, and he groaned for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "I thought that there was a way to turn defeat into victory, but as the main general, you may have to take extreme risks." ”
"Say!"
"Very firm, feint, retreat, and then lead the king into the urn, and then burn Pingguo before boarding the ship, there is some tung oil in the city, plus as long as the three of them do not snow lightly, keep the dry weather, we will kill these Liaodong soldiers in one net." Zhou Yu's eyes were ruthless, and he said, "But if you want them to be fooled, you must also risk your life." ”
"Gong Jin, this method is good, and it is no problem for a certain person to take risks, but have you thought about it, there are at least tens of thousands of Liaodong people in the city now, if there is a fire, but they will all play, and when the time comes, the two of us will cause evil." Sun Ce took a deep breath and said with some shock.
"I also know that there are a lot of casualties like this, otherwise, the plan remains the same, and Pingguo will still be burned, but Bo Fu, if you can hold it for three days here, you must have three days, so that the navy can transport all the people in the city by sea." Zhou Yu's eyes were gloomy and he said softly.
In fact, he knows that if he walks like this, he may not only startle the snake, but also lose his efforts. But he is not an executioner, and he can't watch tens of thousands of people die in the fire like this.
"Okay, just do it, you go and take it, no matter what, so-and-so must carry it for three days."
Sun Ce's eyes crossed a fierce light, nodded his head, and then stared at the Liaodong soldiers approaching step by step under the city, clenching the silver spear in his hand, and the battle spirit was awe-inspiring.
――――――――
Liaodong Sea.
Zhou Tai's fleet began to transport the first batch of Youzhou cavalry, a full 15,000 cavalry, plus 2,000 overlord iron cavalry under Sun Quan's command, from the sea, across Liaoxi and Liaodong vassal states, ready to land in Liaodong County, directly attack Xiangping.
There is only Zhou Tai's fleet, so if you want to transport 30,000 elite soldiers in one go, you can't do it, you can only divide it into two groups, fortunately, the distance between this sea area is not far.
The wind on the sea was a little cold, Sun Quan was wrapped in a brocade robe with inner cotton, his body was standing on the deck, his emerald green eyes flashed, his eyes stared into the distance, and there was a touch of cold war intent in his heart.
At such a great cost, this battle must be won.
"General Le, if we land from Fang County and then go straight to Xiangping, how long will it take?" Sun Quan looked at a middle-aged general beside him and asked.
Among the 15,000 Youzhou army, 3,000 are Gongsun Zhan's henchmen, Baima Yicong, this middle-aged general Le Dong is the captain general of Baima Yicong, Gongsun Zhan's sworn brother, and hardcore henchmen.
Gongsun Zhan originally had tens of thousands of white horse righteous followers, but in the third year of the first peace, he and Yuan Shao competed for Jizhou, and in the battle of Jieqiao, Bai Ma Yicong let Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi's heavy armored foot soldiers go to the camp first, and most of the casualties were lost, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and there were less than 3,000 left.
After returning to Youzhou, he refilled, and now he has only recovered the six thousand White Horse Yicong, and the new White Horse Yicong is quite different from the original combat effectiveness.
"If it's a white horse, it's a day." There was a touch of arrogance in Le Dong's eyes, and he said coldly.
"What about the other cavalry?" This time, the soldiers and horses in Youzhou are all cavalry.
"As little as one and a half days, up to two days, you can arrive!" Le Dong groaned and said.
The cavalry of Youzhou is definitely an elite cavalry, no less physical than the cavalry of Liaodong, more orthodox than the cavalry of Liaodong, and stronger than the cavalry of Liaodong in terms of combat effectiveness.
"Very good, by the way, General Le, I don't know if there is a soldier named Zhao Yun among the soldiers and horses in Youzhou?" Sun Quan squinted his eyes and asked.
"Zhao Yun?" Le Dong's eyes burst out with a cold glow, and said, "Changshan Zhao Zilong!" ”
"That's right, Zhao Zilong!" In this era, the military general that Sun Quan wants to recruit the most is none other than Zhao Zilong, a victorious general, but unfortunately, he has never had a chance, and he asked with some hope: "Can you see it?" ”
"There is indeed a general under a certain command, named Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, but he is a small soldier, how can he be qualified to meet the son!" Le Dong seemed to be a little estranged from Zhao Yun, and said coldly.
"A little soldier?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he was overjoyed.
He knew that Zhao Yun was a late bloomer, but he still didn't expect that Zhao Yun was so down-and-out now, a small military candidate, with a song of soldiers and horses, but only a few hundred.
No wonder Gongsun Chan will lose to Yuan Shao, he has no eyes, he doesn't know how to use people, and it's strange if he is undefeated.
But that's fine, his chance has come.
Zhao Zilong, he must recruit, no matter what method or means he uses, even if he is a little darker, he must be recruited into Jiangdong, and he must not be allowed to take the old road and take refuge in Liu Bei.
