Chapter 194: Entering Stone City
Today, Wang Chong made a special trip to the Jiangdong battalion to lead the cavalry battalion to the Jiangdong camp, just to say hello to Zhou Yu, or to give the other party a dismount, as for the official start of the war? It's not time yet.
Therefore, seeing that the cavalry battalion was about to be entangled by the Jiangdong Army, Wang Chong issued an order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops without saying a word.
Jiangdong battalion, Zhou Yu looked angry, Wang Chong came here, not only with a clever mouth to seriously shake the morale of their Jiangdong army, but also only at the cost of more than a hundred Jinfan cavalry in exchange for the lives of nearly 2,000 soldiers in Jiangdong, and even damaged Pan Zhang, a general, how can it not be outrageous?
"Hey......" After a long time, Zhou Yu sighed, and looked at Cheng Pu on the side helplessly, Wang Chong's previous remarks of discord made the latter's thinking fall into chaos, so that Zhou Yu's two consecutive reminders were used as wind in his ears, which greatly delayed the fighter.
Jinfan has cavalry, don't they have it in Jiangdong? No, although there are not as many as Jinfan, they do have them, but the only two thousand cavalry are currently in the hands of Cheng Pu, if they can't get Cheng Pu's orders, even Zhou Yu can't command them at all.
If, just now, Cheng Pu could let the cavalry under his command go into battle in time, maybe today, they would be able to severely damage Wang Chong's Jinfan cavalry, but unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
Zhou Yu doesn't blame Cheng Pu, only blames Wang Chong's remarks that are too damning.
When people are old, they will be particularly prone to nostalgia, Cheng Pu is in his early sixties this year, whether it is Sun Ce, Sun Quan or Sun Yi, he has watched him grow up step by step, Cheng Pu's feelings for them are like parents and children, not everyone can understand, but in just two months, Sun Ce and Sun Yi died one after another, Cheng Pu sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and the blow to his heart is self-evident, especially in this, there may also be a fight in the same room.
Sun Ce's death is a mystery. Zhou Yu sent someone to investigate secretly, and the result was that Xu Gong's disciples did it, but because those assassins were all killed by Sun Ce on the spot, there was no proof of death. Zhou Yu didn't dare to confirm it 100%, after all, whether it was Wang Chong or Sun Quan, there were actually quite a few suspicions.
Of course, compared to Sun Ce's death, it really had a huge impact on Cheng Pu's spirit. It should be Sun Yi's stabbing.
Everyone is watching, the evidence is conclusive, although Cheng Pu once refuted the rumors at the first time, but deep in his heart, he has already determined that Sun Quan did it.
Sun Yi betrayed the enemy, and he really deserved death, but the problem is that Sun Quan had planted eyeliner by Sun Yi's side long before Sun Yi's rebellion, and he had such a city at a young age. Cheng Pu shuddered when he thought about it, which also planted a seed of doubt in his heart.
And today's Wang Chong's words are like a catalyst, making this seed take root and sprout quickly, making Cheng Pu feel more and more that Sun Ce's death may really be related to Sun Quan, so Cheng Pu, who can't accept this fact, seems to have been struck by lightning, his head has become blank, where can he still hear what Zhou Yu is saying to him?
Until Wang Chong led the Jinfan cavalry away. Cheng Pu came to his senses slowly.
took off the saber at his waist and handed it to Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu said lightly with an expressionless face: "Gong Jin, the size of my Jiangdong Army in the past few days will be handled by you for the time being." I think...... I need time to be quiet! β
After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Yu to answer, Cheng Pu turned around and left in despair.

In Shicheng, Hao Zhao and Ren Jiang opened the city gate and personally introduced Wang Chong into the city.
County office, Wang Chong sat on the main seat with an indifferent expression: "Bodao." Zigang, give me all the battles that have happened here in the past few days, and tell me word for word! β
Hao Zhao lowered his head in shame, although he had won two big victories in Moling before, but in this, there was also a big defeat caused by negligence.
In comparison, Ren Jiang is not different, because he has only been here for two days, one day in Niuzhu and one day in Shicheng, and he has not fought so far.
After listening to Ren Jiang's narration, Wang Chong's face couldn't help but become more and more gloomy, he never thought that in just a few days, Jinfan's loss of soldiers and horses in the north of Danyang County was close to 20,000.
Although the losses of the Jiangdong Army are especially above Jinfan, the account is not calculated in this way, and their own soldiers and horses will always be worth more than the enemy.
At present, Liu Ye and Wang Shuang led an army of 7,000 troops to the west of Shicheng and blocked the main road to Niuzhu, on the one hand, so that the Jiangdong Army could not attack the city without distraction, and on the other hand, it was also to avoid the Jiangdong Army from threatening Niuzhu again.
I have to say that Liu Ye's choice of camping site is just right, at least to ensure that Niu Zhu is foolproof, but the situation in Moling is quite dangerous, if you don't increase troops in time, I'm afraid you won't be able to defend it for too long.
Wang Chong thought for a while and said to Ren Jiang: "That's it, Brother Ren, today you will lead two thousand soldiers and horses to gallop north to aid Moling, Moling City is very important to my Jinfan, and there is absolutely no room for failure!" β
Ren Jiang hesitated: "But Shaolin, in this way, there will be less than 8,000 soldiers and horses in Shicheng, of which 4,000 are still cavalry, in case ......"
Wang Chong waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, with Bodao here, Shicheng will definitely be impregnable, and don't forget, Ziyang's side, there are also 7,000 troops echoing with us!" β
Hao Zhao was very touched by Wang Chong's trust, and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what, he would never let Wang Chong down again in the future.
Seeing Wang Chong's resolute attitude, Ren Jiang no longer refuted at the moment, and responded with a fist: "No! β
Wang Chong nodded, and turned to Tai Shi Ci: "Ziyi, take two thousand cavalry to escort a ride, and let people stare at every move of the Jiangdong battalion, and make sure that Brother Ren's two thousand soldiers and horses arrive safely in Moling!" β
"No!"
Wang Chong took a deep breath and glanced around lightly: "Let's all be mentally prepared, next, there will be a protracted war of attrition!" β
ββββββββββββββββββ
On the other hand, after receiving Wang Chong's order, Gan Ning did not continue to go north, but re-went south to prepare to pacify Yuzhang.
"Hey, I don't know what's going on in Shaolin, it's really worrying!"
Although he did not disobey Wang Chong's general order, Gan Ning has always been worried in his heart, after all, what Wang Chong has to face is the main force of Jiangdong that is especially above Jinfan in number.
Lu Su persuaded: "Don't disturb the governor, the main official document Taowu is strategic, and Ziyang is assisted by the side, just Jiangdong, naturally come to capture!" β
At this time, Lu Su obviously didn't know that Zhou Yu, who had conquered Shanyue in the south, had returned victoriously, otherwise, he knew Zhou Yu's ability that he would not be as easy as he was now.

At this time, a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside the tent: "Governor Qiyu, the sea is in a hurry!" (To be continued.) )
