Chapter 407: A Natural Nemesis

"Jiangdong Sun Ce actually took out 50,000 troops from Qu'a and boarded 6 Linhuai in the direction of Hongze Lake in the direction of Baima Lake?!" Liu Mang looked at the letter in his hand, this is the news from Shouchun, it is a qiē born in Yangzhou in the past few days passed by Yang Hong, Liu Mang is not in Xiangyang now, he lived in Fancheng on the edge of Xiangyang for a day! Since Liu Mang was attacked last time, not only Liu Mang himself was not at ease, but he was a little panicked with Liu Biao, he didn't want Liu Mang to die in Jingzhou, so he gave Liu Mang a thousand soldiers and horses to escort, just because he was afraid that Liu Mang would be attacked again, and with this thousand people following, Liu Mang rested in Fancheng for a day.

On this day, the spies from Yangzhou who happened to be behind brought information letters to Liu Mang.

"Fifty thousand troops, where did this Sun Ce get his soldiers and horses?!" Jia Xu on the side frowned and said, this Jiangdong originally had 90,000 elite sailors, and the Danyang soldiers added up to 100,000 elite armor, but outside Anhui City, Liu Mang and Gan Ning killed 30,000 at once, and there were 70,000 left, these 70,000 soldiers and horses, now in Jiangxia, Liu Biao's offensive against Jiangdong can only be described as fierce, the last time Liu Biao was played by this Jiangdong child, this Liu Biao is angry in his heart, the current Jiangxia is simply to give people to people, to warships to warships, As long as Zhuge Liang and Wen Ping attack with soldiers and horses, these three estuaries are now about to be recaptured after they are lost, the Jingzhou Navy has 70,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangxia, and Sun Ce's Jiangdong Navy Although the overall Su zhì is higher than the Jingzhou Navy Army, it is not much higher, and it has not been able to achieve qualitative change, so in this Jiangxia, at least more than half of the Jiangdong Navy has to compete with the Jingzhou Navy Army, even if it is 40,000 soldiers and horses! Then there are 30,000 soldiers and horses near the Jianye circle! Could it be that this Jiangdong Sun Ce Xiaoer has pressed all the soldiers and horses in Linhuai! Don't want his Jianye?

"It's not impossible to build a Ye, but the current Jian Ye is no longer the previous Jian Ye!" Liu Mang shook his head, Jianye is the old nest of the Jiangdong Army, how can he not want it, "The current Jiangdong Sun Ce can come up with such soldiers and horses, those warriors can be said to have great strength!" Liu Mang was thinking, you must know that in the last battle of Wancheng, Liu Mang really didn't expect that this Jiangdong Sun Ce would be able to come up with 100,000 soldiers and horses. You must know that in the battle of Chibi on the original trajectory, this Jiangdong only took out 40,000 horses, and his precious friend Liu Bei was only 50,000 horses.

But now that he took out 100,000 soldiers and horses all at once, it simply made Liu Mang stunned, even if this Jiangdong has not gone through so many years of conquest, it can't be so terrifying, you must know that Sun Ce also has 30,000 sailors in Jiangxia, and 30,000 elites in Jianye, which adds up to more than 150,000.

Later, after Liu Mang won the battle. Only then did I know that in the original battle to attack the Lujiang River, this Sun Ce only took out 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining 70,000 soldiers and horses were not Sun Ce's own, but those Jiangdong scholars, and it was these Jiangdong scholars who gave Sun Ce's support, and the 70,000 soldiers and horses and 30,000 elites just made up 100,000. And then the Battle of Chibi. It was those scholars who didn't want or didn't dare to fight against Lao Cao, for fear that after Sun Biyan and Liu Da'er lost, Lao Cao would settle accounts after the autumn, and there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet Lao Cao's 800,000 army.

Therefore, the background of this scholar clan is very strong, Liu Mang is a little lucky, if there are so many scholars in Yangzhou, his decrees and land reform can really be implemented! Once these nobles rise up against it, it will be over. A scholar clan in Anhui almost let Lu Bujun get out of his bare ass, not to mention the entire Yangzhou clan.

"There must be more than 10,000 elites among these 50,000 troops! Maybe even more! Jia Xu quickly gave an estimated figure, because Shanyue, the biggest hidden threat in Jiangdong now, is gone, so he can basically take out tens of thousands of more soldiers and horses without guarding against Shanyue's possible rebellion at any time.

And these Shanyue went there, all of them were sent to the good old man Liu Mang's Yangzhou, thinking of this Liu Mang had to smile bitterly, he was simply a living Bodhisattva, and he was calculated by others. It also indirectly helped others.

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses!" Liu Mang also thought that he could make Jiangdong provoke so many soldiers and horses to come to such a surround point, it was simply not a siege point to send reinforcements, but to be beaten, and the last time Sun Ce came to Liu Mang to resist, it was because Liu Mang was defending the city, and he had a great advantage in the strong walls of Anhui City, but now he is the attacking side, basically in the field. That is, direct hard fighting.

"Drop the Chengguan Army out to Zhang Liao!" Liu Mang said to Jia Xu and asked Jia Xu to write a secret letter to Yangzhou.

Zhang Liao only has the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Black Chess Army in his hands, although both are elite and heavy armor. But the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has not really taken shape yet, it is newly surrendered, and the five thousand people of the black chess army cannot fight ten at a time, and the Jiangdong Navy on the opposite side also has elite troops. Coupled with the defenders on the way, this is not easy to fight at all. Liu Mang added another sentence, "If it is impossible, let Zhang Liao return to Shouchun!" "With such reinforcements as Jiangdong Sun Ce, these soldiers and horses may not be able to take Linhuai, but this Jiangdong Sun Ce doesn't want to have much to watch Yangzhou, because there are still wolves riding in the trapping camp on the side! Liu Mang didn't know that his father-in-law had already taken the Bingzhou wolf ride and went west towards Nanyang.

"Lord, you don't need it?!" Jia Xu just wanted to write, but when he saw the letter, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Don't need it?!" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment and didn't understand, but Jia Xu explained.

"Xu Shu's military division has already transferred the Chengguan Army to Zhang Liao, but this Zhang Liao refused to join the Chengguan Army, and said that he would definitely rely on this black chess and Xiliang Iron Cavalry to take Linhuai and help the lord to repel the enemy and complete the previous strategy!"

"Nonsense, isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately!" Liu Mang immediately slapped the table, "Who does he think Zhang Liao thinks he is, is it Sun Tzu, or Wu Zi, or Yue Wumu?!" ”

"Who is this Yue Wumu?!" The first two Jia Xu all know, one is Sun Wu, the other is Wu Qi, these two are famous strategists and military strategists in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Sun Wu wrote Sun Tzu's Art of War through the ages, Wu Qi helped Wei Wenhou almost become the overlord, and also left the book "Wu Zi", but who is this Yue Wumu?

Liu Mang did not answer what Jia Xu said, Liu Mang knew that Zhang Liao was a handsome talent, knew that he could govern a state and be able to attack one side. But that also has to be strong, now the enemy army is more than five times your own, you still want to attack the city, and finally repel the enemy, don't even give you reinforcements, this is not nonsense.

"Wenhe, you give me a letter immediately to let the city management army, and you can go east. Go to Linhuai to help Zhang Liao! Sue him to either withdraw for me, or give me reinforcements, this is a military order not to be disobeyed! Liu Mang was angry, when Zhang Liao was in Shouchun, he was very dissatisfied with his stay in Yangzhou, Liu Mang thought it was just a little problem. But I didn't expect this problem to be so big, it actually made Zhang Liao arrogant, he Zhang Liao wanted to lose in Yangzhou so that he could kick him back to Lujiang? If the army is defeated, Zhang Liao will be ready to stay in Linhuai forever.

"Yes!" Jia Xu picked up the letter and began to grind and write.

"Wenhe, who is the main general of this Jiangdong expedition to Linhuai?" Liu Mang wanted to know about this general, so that he could find out if there was any information about this person.

Jia Xu said without raising his head in the letter: "This time Jiangdong Sun Ce doesn't know why the main general of the expedition is not the veteran under his command, Huang Gai Han Dang and others. It's not Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin on the left arm, but his second brother Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou! ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Sun Quan!" Liu Mang subconsciously said, but then his eyes glared, "Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou?!" "It's loud for several decibels.

Even Jia Xu was taken aback. "What's the matter, my lord? Is this person strong?! ”

"Haha, strong, really strong! This person is blue-eyed and purple, and at the age of fourteen, he was the magistrate of Huiji County. Manage the whole meeting in an orderly manner! This Wen Taowu is not at all inferior to his eldest brother Sun Ce! ”

"Ahhh Jia Xu was also stunned by Liu Mang's words, purple and blue-eyed, isn't this the posture of an overlord! Born with visions, such people are easy to gather people's hearts, the ancients believed that such a person will give people a sense of peace of mind, thinking that he is destined by heaven, just like when Gao Zu just killed a little white snake. But he said that this is the son of the White Emperor, and he is the son of the Red Emperor, as well as Chen Sheng and Wu Guangyu's belly books, these are used to deceive people. Let people think that he is destined to return, but now this Sun Quan is born with a vision and does not need to do it deliberately, and Liu Mang also said that this person's ability is so strong, and he doesn't need his brother Sun Cecha, so I'm afraid that Linhuai really won't be able to take it this time.

Jia Xu thought that Liu Mang would let him write to ask Zhang Liao to withdraw his troops, but who knew that Liu Mang laughed out loud.

"Wenhe, Wenhe, that letter doesn't need to be written, let the Chengguan Army stay in Shouchun!" Liu Mang didn't want to give Zhang Liao more troops.

"Lord, you?!" Jia Xu couldn't understand how Liu Mang could be like this. Not only did he not increase his troops, but he was also very confident that Zhang Liao would continue to fight.

"Wenhe, Wenhe, of course I have confidence, because ah, this Zhang Liao is the natural nemesis of the Sun family!" Liu Mang's words made Jia Xu unclear.

Of course, Jia Xu won't understand, Zhang Liao is a handsome talent, and the embodiment of his real handsome talent is in this Sun family's blue eyes.

On the original trajectory, Sun Quan at that time was bent on taking Hefei as an outpost for him to march into the Central Plains, but Hefei was indeed in the hands of Cao Cao at that time, so far, the two sides will naturally be on top. It was the second Battle of Hefei that kicked off.

The background of the Second Battle of Hefei was that Cao Cao's southern expedition to Sun Quan failed, and only Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and more than 7,000 people were left to defend Hefei in front of the class. The following year, Sun Liu fought in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to occupy Hanzhong. After Liu Bei compromised, he sent Sun Quan to the three counties, and he led his army back to fight Cao Cao for Hanzhong. After Sun Quan reconciled with Liu Bei, he also hurried to the division and concentrated 1o thousand people in an attempt to eat the defenders of Hefei.

Cao Cao had already taken precautions against this, and before setting out for Zhang Lu, Cao Cao sent a letter to Hefei with his escort Xue Yi, ordering Zhang Liao to open it only when Sun Quan led his army to attack. Sun Quan saw that Cao Cao was in Hanzhong and could not return to the east in time, so he personally led 100,000 people to Hefei.

On the eve of Sun Quan's attack, Zhang Liao opened the letter sent by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao told him that if Sun Quan's army came, Zhang Liao and Li Dian should go out of the city to face the battle, and Le Jin led the army to defend the city, and Xue Yi, the protector, should not go to war.

The Wei army was only 7,000 men, and the Wu army was 100,000, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, and all the generals were puzzled by this instruction. Zhang Liao believed that Cao Cao was leading his army to fight abroad, and by the time the reinforcements he led arrived, Sun Quan's army would have already broken us. Therefore, the letter asks us to attack the enemy in turn before they have assembled, to first frustrate the enemy's momentum, to calm the army's morale, and then to defend the city. The opportunity for success or failure is in this battle, what are your doubts? Li Dian agrees with Zhang Liao's idea.

Li Dian and Zhang Liao are both brave generals, so they recruited warriors overnight, and got a total of 800 people, Zhang Liao ordered to kill cattle and reward soldiers, preparing for tomorrow's battle, and the morale of the Wu army was high. At dawn, Zhang Liao was held by a halberd and took the lead in attacking, although the Wei army was small, but it was all cavalry, although the Wu army was many, but most of them were infantry, the cavalry had good mobility, and they would leave after killing, and the Wu army could not surround eight hundred Wei soldiers.

After Zhang Liao entered the camp of the Wu army, he alone killed dozens of Wu soldiers and beheaded two generals.

After rushing into the camp, Zhang Liao saw Sun Quan's handsome banner, and killed the past madly, Wu Jun Song Qian, Xu Sheng and the two departments could not resist, Wu Jun had never seen such a person who could rush and cut, and the soldiers were all scattered in a hurry, and fled backwards, fortunately, Pan Zhang supervised the battle in the rear, saw that the Wu army was defeated and retreated, and hurriedly galloped to catch up, and killed two deserters in the chaotic army, and the soldiers saw this, and they all turned back to fight again, blocking Zhang Liao in front of Sun Quan's camp.

Seeing that the situation was so tense, Sun Quan hurriedly climbed to the top of a nearby mountain and defended himself with a halberd. Wu Jun blocked Zhang Liao at the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Liao rushed up the mountain, so he scolded Sun Quan at the bottom of the mountain, trying to provoke Sun Quan to go down the mountain to fight, Sun Quan is not Sun Ce, and he does not have the courage of his brother to fight alone. However, Sun Quan's eyes are not bad, and his psychology is also excellent, although his life is in danger, he still clearly sees that Zhang Liao only brought a few hundred people, so he ordered the sergeant to surround Zhang Liao's 800 legions.

Zhang Liao's mount was in good physique, and he didn't get tired after fighting for a long time, and rushed out of the chaotic army with Zhang Liao. When dozens of Wei troops saw Zhang Liao rushing out, they all shouted that the general was going to abandon us. Zhang Liao saw that Zhuang rushed into the encirclement network again, broke out of the Wu army, rescued a few people who were surrounded, and the rest of the hundreds of people all retreated into Hefei City.

After this battle, the Wu army was frightened, and originally expected 100,000 people to fight 7,000 people to take advantage of it, but after this battle, the morale of the Wu army was completely lost, and the spirit of the army was suddenly lost. Sun Quan could only order the whole army to repair the garrison, and the Cao army in Hefei City also had time to prepare. The Wei army held Hefei, and Sun Quan easily led the army to surround Hefei. However, the Wu army attacked for more than ten days in a row, and encountered the dead defense of the defenders, and the Wu army suffered heavy casualties, which coincided with the epidemic in Huainan at that time, and the Wu army died of many diseases. Sun Quan had no choice but to order the army to be a teacher, and he himself inexplicably took a thousand tiger soldiers and Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Lü Meng, and Jiang Qin to break off.

The Wu army retreated from the north of Xiaoyaojin, and Zhang Liao saw the main force of the Wu army retreating on the city of Hefei, and took the opportunity to lead the army to pursue and surround Sun Quan. Sun Quan was surrounded by 1,000 people, after Sun Quan was surrounded, Ling Tong personally led 300 close soldiers to rush into the encirclement, Gan Ning led a bow to shoot on the periphery, and Lü Meng and Jiang Qin led hundreds of people to fight to the death to block the Wei army. Ling Tong fought hard and finally rescued Sun Quan, Ling Tong let Sun Quan go first, and he turned back to fight again to resist the Wei army. But Sun Quan encountered a bridge destroyed by his own people on the way to escape, the bridge was demolished, Sun Quan couldn't pass, the Wei army was killed, Sun Quan's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, grabbed the saddle, and rushed across the broken bridge with a run, Sun Quan met 3,000 Wu troops in the south of Xiaoyaojin, and his life was finally picked up.

After Sun Quan successfully escaped, Ling Tong and Gan Ning escaped by stealth wearing armor after killing dozens of people while they were also traumatized. This battle was the most humiliating battle in Sun Quan's life, 1o people fought 7,000, not only lost miserably, but he was almost captured alive. can fight this part, not because Sun Quan's military level is low, but because he met his nemesis for a lifetime, that is, this Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.

It's like Zhou Yu said to Zhuge Liang, this kind of natural nemesis, it's really hard to say about fate!

At the beginning, Zhang Liao was able to fight against Sun Quan's 100,000 soldiers and horses with 7,000 men, but now Sun Quan has 50,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Liao has 5,000 heavy armored cavalry in his hands, and 5,000 heavy armored infantry battles, is there any excuse to lose! So in Jia Xu's unclear eyes, Liu Mang was very confident.
