"Young master, it's not good, we are surrounded by the Jingzhou army, we must break through quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to get out." As soon as Sun Ce returned to his handsome ship, Cheng Pu came to his side with several generals and opened his mouth to report.

As the coach this time, Sun Ce showed calm and composed, this time he did not impulsively shout and shout to kill, but calmly pondered: "I'm afraid it's too late to break through, he Liu Biao has already premeditated, and it is not a matter of time and a half for us to break through, even if we can break through, I am afraid that there are not many soldiers and horses left to break through." Didn't his Jingzhou army want to outflank and besiege our army from front to back? Then complete them, first let the fleet move to the left, with the small ships inside and the big ships outside. We stood still on the left and waited for them. ”

"Hold your ground, young master, are we just waiting for death in vain?" A general hurriedly stepped forward and wondered.

Sun Ce glanced at the terrain of the entire river, and in front of the river was the Jingzhou fleet led by Huang Zu and Cai Hesuo.

The left and right sides are full of continuous mountain ranges, among which there is a waterway in the mountain range on the left, but this waterway is narrow, I am afraid that only small boats can pass, and the handsome boat standing at Sun Ce is difficult to enter, and it is also stranded to enter.

"Waiting for death, that's not my style. But the breakthrough was not what I thought, and when the Jingzhou army approached, all the men and horses went to the boat and fled towards the left waterway. And the big ships also leaned to the left waterway, directly blocking the way of the Jingzhou army. In order to keep the strength of the Sun family's army, Sun Ce chose to abandon the big ship and leave from the waterway on the left.

"Young master, this is the lord's handsome ship, if you give up ......."

"Uncle Cheng doesn't need to say any more, if my father was here, he would do the same. The ship can be rebuilt if it is gone, but our brothers have one life, as long as they don't die today, they are still afraid that there will be no ship in the future? Sun Ce interrupted Cheng Pu's words, he had already made up his mind.

Under Sun Ce's order, the large and small warships of the Sun family's army began to move, just as Sun Ce said, the warships leaned to the left, the small ships were inside, and the big ships were outside.

"Huh! What kind of fame is Sun Ce Xiao'er doing, leaning the warship to the left and standing still, will he be the same as me. Huang Zu's fleet, which was approaching not far away, saw Huang Zu standing on the warship, watching Sun Jiajun's every move.

"It's not good, Sun Jiajun has to flee from the left path." Huang Zu looked carefully, and finally saw the signs, and ordered all the warships to move forward, and be sure to catch Sun Ce before he escaped, otherwise everything today would be in vain.

Knowing that Sun Ce wanted to escape from the left waterway, Huang Zu's warship approached the left side as quickly as possible, and just when the ship was about to approach, he heard a loud bang, only to see Sun Jiajun's small boat driving towards the left waterway, and those big ships collided with each other, forming a barrier, completely blocking the entire left waterway, making it difficult for Huang Zu's warship to catch up.

"Bastard, you actually let Sun Ce run away like this, and I'm angry." Huang Zu clenched his arms and watched Sun Jiajun leave, the anger in his heart could not be extinguished, he never expected Sun Ce to abandon the big ship and flee from the left waterway.

Not only Huang Zu, but when Cai He's warship arrived, his face had already become ugly.

"Run, I'll see where he Sun Ce is running, someone is coming! Give me chase. Cai He was unwilling and prepared to block Sun Ce's Sun Jiajun at the boundary between Changsha and Nanjun.

Under the rule of Liu Biao, the Jingzhou army has obviously become stronger, but its internal contradictions are also increasing.

The power struggle between the families is even more intense.

After Sun Ce and others escaped from the encirclement of the Jingzhou army, the soldiers and horses of the Sun family army returned to Changsha soon, and Sun Ce did not dare to delay, for fear that the Jingzhou army would pursue them. Without large warships, it was simply impossible to engage the Jingzhou army.

"Young master, as long as the ship goes downstream, it will take less than half a day to reach Changsha, presumably the Jingzhou army will not pursue again." Sun Ce was standing on the deck with the sea breeze blowing, and when Cheng Pu saw this, he thought that Sun Ce was worried about the pursuit of the Jingzhou army.

Sun Ce looked back at Cheng Pu and said calmly: "Uncle Cheng, this battle is the first time that my Sun Ce has led the army on behalf of my father, but he fell into the trap of the old thief, which can be described as a complete defeat. My Sun Ce is really incompetent and useless, give my father his ......"

"Young master, you have done quite well as the boss this time, if you hadn't taken the opportunity to give up the big ship in the end, I'm afraid we would all be in a different place and buried at the bottom of the river." Cheng Pu interrupted Sun Ce's words, and Cheng Pu was pleased that Sun Ce could behave like this. After all, Sun Ce was raised by him since he was a child, and his feelings are deep.

Sun Ce shook his head: "Uncle Cheng, you don't have to comfort me, this defeat is all caused by me as the boss, but please rest assured, I will not give up on myself, and when I return to Changsha, I will be familiar with the art of war, guard against impatience, and become a general who stands alone." I will not disappoint my father, nor will I let you uncles and uncles down. ”

"Well, that's right, the young lord can have such ambitions, and the lord will be very happy. I, these old guys, will also do my best to assist the young master to dominate the world. Cheng Pu said loudly, and stepped forward to salute Sun Ce.

"Young master, after returning to Changsha this time, I don't know what to do next." Sun Ce said it well, but Cheng Pu did not forget to test the other party, after all, Sun Ce is the successor of the Sun family in the future.

Sun Ce didn't speak directly, but pondered for a moment and said, "From this battle with the Jingzhou army, it can be seen that my Sun family's army is insufficient and it is difficult to compete with the Jingzhou army. If this goes on for a long time, my Sun family's army will definitely be swallowed up by Liu Biao, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Jingzhou. ”

Cheng Pu nodded, feeling that what Sun Ce said was not wrong at all, so he didn't interrupt and let Sun Ce speak slowly.

"Therefore, the first thing our army should do is to expand its troops and train soldiers and horses, so that it will be up to Liu Biao to compete in the future." Sun Ce clenched his fists and said. It seems that at this time, it is difficult for him to let go of today's battle.

"Oh, I don't know how the young master expands the soldiers and horses, but I don't know that Changsha is just a county, and its population, grain and grass are limited. If one or two thousand soldiers and horses are stopped, it can be handled, but it will not pose a threat to Liu Biaozhao at all. However, if 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses are formed, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so in light of the current situation of our army. Cheng Pu did not forget to pour cold water.

Cheng Pu's words may be a little unpleasant, but Sun Ce knows that Cheng Pu is doing this for his good. It's just that Cheng Pu didn't know that not long ago, when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were discussing the future, Zhou Yu had already planned the future trend of the Sun family for him.

"Uncle Cheng, in fact, the strategy has already thought of a plan, not only to increase the population, land, grain and grass, but also to expand my Sun family's army by one or two thousand soldiers and horses." Sun Ce slowly told Cheng Pu about the plan that Zhou Yu had said.

Zhou Yu's original plan was to let the Sun family and Changsha as a springboard, and there was no need to compete for rich counties such as Nanyang, Nanjun, and Jiangxia.

Instead, it occupied Lingling, Guiyang and other counties, and used these two counties as a springboard to expand in the direction of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou.

Of course, Xiangjiaozhou and Yangzhou Zhanna are all afterwords, mainly to occupy Lingling and Guiyang, so as to quickly show the strength of the Sun family's army.

As long as the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang are occupied, it is enough to recruit tens of thousands of troops for Sun Ce, and with these two counties plus Changsha, the strength of the Sun family army will increase several times. Coupled with the topography of Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha, it can completely block the attack of the Jingzhou army.

In addition, Zhou Yu also specified their own plans for Sun Ce, the main of which was talent. There are many generals in the Sun family's army, but there is a large shortage of talents in governance and strategy, which also makes the Sun family's exhibition very slow, so Sun Ce plans to return to Changsha this time, and will definitely recruit talents to fill the lack of the Sun family's army.
