In the second year of the first peace, in August, Danyang County, Moling County.

County office, Sun Ce stood next to this ten-meter-wide, ten-meter-long, newly established, most detailed topographical sand table in Danyang County, without a helmet, his long hair was bunned, revealing a handsome and resolute face, and a heavy lion king armor, looking domineering and awe-inspiring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our next move, Wuhu County and Liyang County!"

Since the Jiangdong Army took Moling with the momentum of thunder, it took Moling as the center, and the army was stationed in Moling, the pace was steady, and one county was taken one county after another.

With the cooperation of Jiang Qin's navy, coupled with the mobility of the overlord's iron cavalry, for more than a month, Danyang County, Jurong County, Jiangcheng County, Hushu County, Danyang County and Shicheng County have all been taken by the Jiangdong Army.

With the addition of Moling County, the Jiangdong Army has already taken one-third of the world in Danyang, and with Wu Jingzai, the county seat taken by Sun Ce did not experience much chaos, and it quickly settled down.

Wu Jing was originally a veritable Danyang county guard, holding the name of orthodoxy, and he had been an official for many years, and his ability to appease the people's hearts was pure fire, and in addition to Sun Jian's reputation in Jiangdong, the Danyang army's resistance to Jiangdong's entry was not big.

Sun Ce's expression was calm, pointing to the two county towns on the sand table, his eyes showed a touch of awe-inspiring battle intent, and a trace of undoubted domineering, and said: "Five days, within five days, we must take Wuhu and Liyang." ”

"General, it's not difficult to take Liyang, Liyang is only three thousand Danyang soldiers, the guard general is a Liyang County lieutenant, his reputation is not obvious, and his ability should not be big, but it is a little difficult to take Wuhu, Wuhu is now stationed in this Zhang Ying's 10,000 elite Danyang soldiers and horses!"

At this time, the captain of the scout cavalry of the Overlord Iron Cavalry next to him stood up and said.

The overlord iron cavalry is an independent one in the Jiangdong Army, and there are eleven songs under his command, each song is about 300 people, one of which is a scout song, and the military marquis is called Deng Dang.

"General, at present, we have to defend and take the county seat that has been taken, in addition to the naval army and the overlord iron cavalry, we can only use 5,000 foot soldiers at most, Zhang Ying is also a veteran of the battlefield, this Wuhu County is not easy to fight!" Sun He looked up at Sun Ce and said in a low voice.

"I know, but if it's not good to fight, we have to fight, we must take Danyang as soon as possible. By the way, where is Fan Neng's part now? ”

Sun Ce's expression was more calm than before, a little less impulsive, a little less furious.

After Wu Jing was stationed in Danyang, he seemed to focus on managing the people's livelihood, appeasing the people's hearts, and not asking about military affairs at all, allowing Sun Ce to play freely, plus cavalry and naval troops, as well as soldiers and horses recruited when he entered Danyang, and now Sun Ce has nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, commanding 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he has suddenly become a little cautious and mature.

"Here, Danyang's governing place, Wanling!"

"Is there any sign of his soldiers and horses heading north?" Sun Ce continued to ask.

"Nope!"

This scout Qu Junhou Deng Dang hurriedly said: "According to the report of our spies, Fan Neng seems to have been looking for a plan to absorb the soldiers and horses of Jing County recently. ”

"Jing County?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he was a little puzzled.

"General, let me analyze it with you, Jing County has been storing a force of troops over the years, about 10,000 people, their leader is called Zulang, who is considered a group of bandits, but there is collusion with the Shanyue people, and the local Taishou has not been able to exterminate them over the years." A young scribe stepped out and whispered.

The young scribe's surname is Lu, the name Fan, the word Ziheng, was originally a native of Runan, and only fled Yangzhou from Runan in recent years, and originally lived in Shouchun, but before Liu Xuan's coup d'état, imprisoned the three brothers of the Zhou family, and cleaned the descendants of Zhou Ang in Jiujiang, Shouchun was in turmoil, and he felt that Liu Miao was difficult to achieve a big thing, so he crossed the river and came to live in Moling.

However, not long after his family came to Moling, Sun Ce laid the Moling, and when Sun Ce attacked Moling, Lu Fan felt that the opportunity he was waiting for in the troubled times had come, gritted his teeth, and was ruthless, so he led hundreds of guests under his command to seize the city gate, help Sun Ce enter the city, and take Moling.

After Sun Ce entered the city, he valued him very much in terms of meritorious deeds, and appointed him as the chief bookkeeper of the overlord iron horse.

"In this way, Fan Neng has no chance to deal with us recently!" Sun Ce's eyes showed a gleam.

"It should be so, after all, Fan Neng and Zhang Ying are both Liu Xuan's descendants, Liu Miao sent the two of them to Danyang to accept Zhou Xin's territory, and he appointed Fan Neng as the Taishou of Danyang, but Zhang Ying has not been convinced, so the relationship between the two of them is not very good."

Lu Cheng explained in a low voice.

"That's good!"

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Tai next to him and said loudly: "Zhou Tai, I order you to immediately lead the cavalry to set off and surround Wuhu, and Zhang Ying must not be allowed to escape, and I will lead the army to arrive later." ”

"No!"

Zhou Tai's eyes moved, nodded, and walked out.

"General, I heard that the general Tai Shici, who was on par with you before, is also in Wuhu now!" Sun He suddenly whispered.

"Tai Shi Ci?"

Sun Ce's expression was shocked, and a touch of awe-inspiring battle intent suddenly crossed his eyes: "It just so happens that this Tai Shi Ci is indeed a strong general, a certain family loses a move in the Moling battle, and it is difficult for my Sun Bofu to meet such a good opponent, pass on the order, Wuhu fights, Zhang Ying lives or dies, but I want to capture this person alive." ”

This is the most powerful general he has encountered in Danyang, in the battle of Moling, he has fought with Tai Shi Ci for dozens of rounds, Tai Shi Ci is much stronger and more sophisticated than him in terms of strength and moves.

Even with the advantage of stirrups, he was still a little inferior to Tai Shi Ci on horseback, so he let Tai Shi Ci forcibly break through under the siege of his cavalry.

In his heart, this is a general who can be compared with his father, and it should not be underestimated, but fortunately, whether it is Liu Xuan, Zhang Ying, or Fan Neng, there is no important Tai Shici, otherwise, the battle of Danyang will be in big trouble.

"No!"

Sun He nodded.

"Ziheng, the siege of the city will cause too many casualties of the Jiangdong Army, and my command is now all cavalry and naval troops, and they are not good at attacking the city, do you have a way to lure Zhang Ying out?" Sun Ce stared at the sand table, looking at the terrain around Wuhu, and then looked up at Lu Fan and asked in a low voice.

"General, Fan can give it a try!"

Lu Fan pondered for a moment, a glint crossed his eyes, and nodded.

"Okay, if this thing is done, you will be the first to take credit!"

Sun Cejun's expression was slightly happy, and he said, "Also, you immediately write a letter and submit our request to seize Wuhu and Liyang to Gongjin in Wanling, so that he can cooperate with us." ”

Danyang's war can be so smooth, and the biggest credit is the cooperation of Zhou Yu in the enemy camp, if it weren't for Zhou Yu's reminder, he wouldn't get along with him Relying on the powerful mobility of the overlord iron cavalry, he attacked Moling and cut off the connection between Jiujiang and Danyang.

"No!" Lu Fan nodded respectfully.

――――――――――――――

Even when Sun Ce was planning how to seize Wuhu and eliminate Zhang Ying, the army under Liu Xuan, in Danyang County, Wanling County, in a house, there were people who were calculating how to help Sun Ce take the entire Danyang County in a short period of time.

A handsome young man sat solemnly in front of the desk, dressed in a white Confucian costume, looking a little mature and steady, about twenty years old, but some childish faces showed that he was not yet twenty years old.

The young man in white is Zhou Yu, one of the double walls in Jiangdong, the word Gongjin, a native of Shu County, Lujiang, he and Sun Ce are the same year, only seventeen this year, but he is young and intelligent, and he is more precocious than ordinary people, and he looks more stable than the young man in his early twenties.

"Childe, the spy reported that Fan Neng has already negotiated with Zu Lang's envoy, and he is already ready to personally interview Zu Lang in Jing County."

A Zhou family's family will walk in, whisper in Zhou Yu's ear, and report respectfully.

"Fan Neng old fox, take the bait!"

Zhou Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes, and said, "It's not in vain that I'm wasting my tongue, but with such a big bait, I don't believe that you won't take the bait." ”

Fan Neng has always been ambitious, if he can incorporate the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Zu Lang's command, plus the 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, he will be able to divide Danyang and break away from Liu Xuan.

When Zhou Yu was in Lujiang, he got Sun Ce's personal invitation, and he already had the heart to join Sun Jian, Sun Jian he knew very early, he was indeed a generation of heroes, in Jiangdong, he couldn't think of a few people who could be compared with Sun Jian.

Defecting to Sun Jian is his best choice.

Zhou Yu has great ambitions and takes refuge in Sun Jian, in this troubled world, he will definitely be able to show what he has learned, but he has an arrogant personality, so he naturally can't go to Sun Jian empty-handed, so he went to Shouchun, joined Zhou Ang, and waited for the opportunity.

Shouchun's change and Liu Xuan's action made him see the opportunity for the Jiangdong Army to seize Danyang, and he immediately returned to Danyang and began to lay out Danyang, and at the same time wrote to Sun Ce to let the Jiangdong Army seize the opportunity.

"How prepared are the Assassins?" Zhou Yu asked.

"I have already sent someone to figure out Fan Neng's route, and he does not bring many guards, only a hundred people, I hired a small bandit under Zu Lang with a lot of money, and attacked him halfway, and after a dozen or so archers of the Zhou family have been mixed into the bandits, even if they can't kill him, they can seriously injure him."

"It doesn't matter if he kills him or not, the important thing is that I must make him think that Zu Lang wants to kill him, and it is my purpose to let him send troops to Jing County!" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "Let the brothers be numb with their hands and feet, and not show a trace of flaws." ”

"No!" Zhou Zhongxin nodded.

"Also, there are many Danyang soldiers and horses here in Wanling who are still loyal to Zhou Xin, although they have to be under Fan Neng's command, but if they have the opportunity, they will definitely rebel against Fan Neng, you go and inquire, those generals can rebel, I will personally come forward and persuade them."

Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said.

"I see!" Zhou Zhong nodded.

"Childe, Boye Fu has a letter!" At this time, a family general walked in and handed over a letter.

"Bo Fu wants to send troops to capture Wuhu?"

Zhou Yu opened the envelope, took out the letter, looked at it, his expression moved slightly, his eyes rolled, and he muttered: "It's a little too urgent, Zhang Ying is not simple, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, it seems that I have to step up and deal with Bo Fu's actions!" ”
