Wankou Port.

Sun Ce was bare-chested, revealing a body of strong muscles, and the bandage wrapped around his left shoulder was still oozing with a cloud of red blood.

Sun Ce sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression, staring at the two generals kneeling in front of him with cold eyes like sharp swords, his chest rose and fell violently, like a volcano about to erupt, giving people a chilling feeling.

In the big tent, the generals were silent, the atmosphere was terrifying, and anyone could feel the anger that could almost melt people from Sun Ce's body.

Defeated!

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is really an exaggeration to say that this battle is lost, because they only took the initiative to retreat, and the enemy's casualty figure is not necessarily lower than their own, but in Sun Ce's eyes, this is definitely a complete defeat.

Since crossing the river to conquer Jiangdong, there have been no less than 100 large and small battles in just a few years, although there are occasional defeats, but they are all harmless, and the number of casualties is only hundreds or thousands at most, which is like today's battle, the entire 50,000 army was cut in half in an instant, which has never had a huge gap, so that Sun Ce's resentment in his heart has never been calmed.

Yellow cover! Cheng Pu!

These two Jiangdong generals, who had followed Sun Jian to conquer the world and were highly respected in the eyes of the soldiers, have become the culprits of this defeat.

If, when encountering Wang Chong at the north gate of Anhui City, Huang Gai could calmly deal with the situation, then perhaps, Jiang Qin would not be captured, Sun Fu would not be killed, and everything that followed might not happen.

If Cheng Pu can successfully intercept the Jinfan reinforcements brought by Gan Ning on the bank of the Wanshui River, even if it drags on for another quarter of an hour, maybe at this moment, Wang Chong has already died under Sun Ce's gun, and Wancheng will smoothly fall under the control of Jiangdong.

It's just a pity that there is no if, so ...... Not only did they lose their troops, but they also achieved very little success.

This battle has seriously shaken the foundation of Jiangdong, while losing 25,000 troops, the generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were captured, Sun Fu, Sun He, Xu Kun, Xu Yi, Song Qian were killed, in addition, there was also the strategist Qin Song who was also killed in this battle.

Among these generals who died in battle, Sun Fu was Sun Ce's cousin, Sun He was Sun Ce's brother-in-law, and Xu Kun was Sun Ce's cousin.

On the banks of the Wanshui River, 10,000 Jiangdong elites were not so much defeated by 20,000 Jinfan, but rather lost to Gan Ning alone.

Gan Ning was brave and invincible, and killed Xu Kun, Xu Yi, and Song Qian in a single person, and even Cheng Pu was invincible and fled, and the frightened Jiangdong was full of liver and gall, which led to the rout of the 10,000-strong army, and in the process of escaping, the strategist Qin Song was also shot off the horse by Gan Ning's arrow, which made the Jiangdong soldiers even more frightened.

If Cheng Pu's defeat is only a non-war crime, then Huang Gai's defeat was completely due to a mistake in decision-making, which is undoubtedly even more unforgivable.

If it was an ordinary general, Sun Ce would have dragged them out and cut them down without saying a word, but Huang Gai is different from Cheng Pu, they are veterans of the two dynasties, they have watched Sun Ce grow up since childhood, and they have always been loyal to the Sun family, and they have also made a lot of contributions.

"That's it!" After a long time, Sun Ce took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and waved his hand tiredly, "Let's go down and get fifty military sticks!" ”

"No!" Huang Gai and Cheng Pu lowered their heads and withdrew from the tent in shame.

In fact, with the mistakes they made, even if Sun Ce wanted to cut off their heads, it was not excessive, but although Sun Ce did not kill them, the deep disappointment contained in that tone stabbed them like a needle prick, and they were in tears.

At this time, Zhou Yu came out of the ranks, and he stopped talking a little: "Bo Fu ......"

"Gong Jin, are you going to persuade me to quit the army?" Sun Ce opened his eyes and interrupted Zhou Yu, his eyes sharp, "If that's the case, don't say it!" ”

Sun Ce is arrogant, he lost his troops in Anhui City today, if he doesn't get this one back, how can he be willing to give up?

"Bo Fu, you are now the lord of Jiangdong, everything must be based on the interests of Jiangdong, and you must no longer act arbitrarily!" Zhou Yu frowned, and persuaded bitterly, "At present, Wancheng Jinfan is still more than 10,000 people, with our 25,000 people, how easy is it to capture Wancheng?" What's more, Jiangdong is unstable, Shanyue may rebel at any time, and Huang Zu is also ready to move, wanting to annex Yuzhang, it is not a wise move for us to continue to fight against Jinfan here. ”

"Do you want me to leave it at that!?" Sun Ce slapped the table, his eyes widened with anger, and his muscles were exposed, "So, how should I explain to my dead brother?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Jinfan can't be wiped out overnight, we can wait for the situation to stabilize before coming to conquer." ”

"No, I can't wait that long!" Sun Ce flatly refused, "If Wang Chong doesn't die for a day, the anger in my heart will be unsettled!" ”

"What about the old lord's hatred?" Zhou Yu asked in a deep voice, "Isn't Bo Fu going to report?" ”

"You ......" Seeing Zhou Yu carrying out Sun Jian, Sun Ce was speechless, and he didn't know how to argue for a while.

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, compared to Wang Chong, Huang Zu is undoubtedly better to deal with, why don't we wait to take Yuzhang, kill Huang Zu to avenge the old master, and then turn around and attack Jinfan?" ”

"This ......" Sun Ce hesitated, it is undeniable that what Zhou Yu said is indeed very reasonable, but for Jinfan, he really can't swallow this evil breath in his heart.

"Report-" But just as Sun Ce was struggling in his heart, a Jiangdong soldier suddenly broke into the account in a hurry and said urgently, "Report to the lord, Wu County is urgent!" ”

"Wu Jun!?" Sun Ce Huoran stood up from his position, his face changed greatly, he must know that Wu County is their Jiangdong base camp, most of the Jiangdong generals, including his own family members, have been placed in Wu County, if Wu County changes, the entire Jiangdong will fall into turmoil because of this.

"What the hell is going on? Come on!! ”

"Yes...... It was Guangling Taishou Chen Deng, who led an army of 30,000 to cross the river and invade Wu County yesterday, and now the army is besieging Dantu! ”

"Chen Deng!?" Sun Ce was furious when he heard this, "What a Chen Yuanlong, I won't attack him, but he will attack me first?" I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to persuade: "Bo Fu, without further ado, I will quickly lead the troops back to Wu County, if we can't stabilize the situation in time, I'm afraid that Huiji Shanyue will also resurrect!" ”

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and sighed: "Could it really be the will of heaven?" ”

"I don't think it's providential." Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and said, "This time Chen Deng sent troops, I'm afraid it will have nothing to do with Jinfan!" ”

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief: "Gong Jin means ......"

"Ahh Zhou Yu nodded solemnly, "With the way of others, we can join forces with Liu Xun, so why can't Jinfan form an alliance with Chen Deng?" ”

"Huh! In this way, we really underestimated Wang Chong. Sun Ce said with a bleak face, "Thinking about it, Wang Chong has already calculated, as long as Chen Deng sends troops, at that time, no matter whether we capture Anhui City or not, we still have to obediently withdraw our troops and return to Jiangdong in the end!" ”

"Let's go." Zhou Yu sighed, "It's a long time coming, this account will be asked back from Wang Chong one day." ”

Sun Ce nodded and ordered: "Someone come, pass on my general's order, gather the whole army, and follow me to quickly return to aid Dantu!" ”

Chen Wu asked, "My lord, what about Wankou Port?" ”

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu when he heard this, Zhou Yu thought about it, shook his head and said, "If you can't keep it, it's better to burn it." ”

Half an hour later, as thousands of warships sailed out of Wankou Port one after another, a raging fire also rose up to the sky, dyeing half of the sky red......
