Chapter 462: Zhou Yu's Worries
Houguo of Hefei.
A figure stood by the lake in the city, frowning as if thinking about something.
Footsteps came from behind, but they didn't interrupt his thoughts, and his brow furrowed a little tighter.
"Gongjin, you've been standing by the lake for a morning, but it's because of Yuzhang's matter."
"Jia Nian, the Taishou of Yuzhang County, suddenly appeared and broke the Ji Ling Department and beheaded more than 5,000 soldiers of our army. As a result, the two sides have become a stalemate, making the already clear situation chaotic again. If it weren't for this news, I'm afraid we wouldn't have suspected the soldiers under Liu Ye's command at this time."
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and Yuan Zhoumu of the six counties of Yangzhou occupies the fourth, even if it is a temporary defeat, what can it do? Moreover, now that the army of the governor has come to the Lujiang County Government, Yuzhang did not take advantage of this battle."
Sun Jian said to Zhou Yu without thinking.
Zhou Yu shook his head slowly, looking at the reflection in the water.
"It's so simple for the two sides to fight, and besides, what I'm worried about is in Chaohu"
"The Gepo Yellow Turban in the mountains has been disabled by the imperial court as early as two years ago, and now although the momentum is not as huge as before, those who can survive until now are elite. This can also explain why they can use 3,000 soldiers and horses to drag our army to the death in the Hefei Marquis without an inch."
"Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang personally led 3,000 elites to attack Chengde, but they were stationed on the front line of Chaohu Lake and did not move, so I sent someone to report to Yuan Zhoumu in the name of the lord. If it is expected that the main guild and the state pastor will change their guards, then they can temporarily avoid the Chaohu soldiers and seize the Lujiang River."
"Although there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Lujiang, they are all elites, and although there are 5,000 under the command of the lord, most of them are new soldiers. In addition, the Lujiang County Mansion City is high and deep, and the lord can use the strategy of besieging the city without fighting, and cut off the grain road of the Lujiang County Government."
Sun Ce gradually fell into contemplation when he heard these words, and vaguely seemed to sense something.
"The remnants of Gepo's Yellow Turban are stationed on the front line of Chaohu, Anhui County, and Weixukou, are you sure they won't send troops to help?"
"Yuan Zhou's shepherd led more than 10,000 elites to sit in the Hou Kingdom of Hefei, how can the three thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Changhe Town be able to resist the enemy? Therefore, Liu Ye will definitely mobilize the troops of Anhui County and Mixukou, so that the lord can besiege the Lujiang County Government without worry."
Zhou Yu's voice sounded in his ears, and Sun Ce thought about these words.
Without waiting for a reply, Zhou Yu looked at the sparkling water, and suddenly changed his words.
"If the lord can take the Lujiang County Government, most of the Lujiang River will fall into the hands of the lord at that time, and Anhui County and Yuzhang will be exposed to the hooves of our army."
"When the time comes, you can drive straight in, and take advantage of Jia Nian's main force in Danyang and Chaohu, you can easily take Yuzhang between the backpalms. At that time, the family was small in hand, and he was embattled against the Yuzhang soldiers, so the Yuzhang soldiers and horses would become the wedding dress of the lord. With military power in hand, Yuan Zhoumu can only be crowned as the lord of the two counties, and then he can recuperate and recuperate."
Zhou Yu said all the strategies he had thought of during this time in one breath.
The pride rose in his heart as the voice fell, and Sun Ce only felt his blood boiling.
"If you can get the land of the two counties, let your Gongjin lead the troops of Yuzhang to the west to Changsha County, and I will lead the soldiers of Lujiang to attack Jiangxia Huang Zu's revenge for killing his father. And with Yuan Zhoumu as a backup, he can implement the legacy of his father in the past and forcibly seize Jingchu."
"Make a good relationship with the state pastor, and the two sides should join forces to get a glimpse of the eight counties of Jingxiang"
Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu.
The two of them laughed silently at the same time, as for what they would do after occupying the eight counties of Jingxiang, they could only understand what they could not say.
"If the lord can take the Lujiang County Mansion, then our army should be able to enter the sea and the tiger roaring mountains and forests. But if you can't capture the Lujiang County Mansion before Yuzhang captures the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, then the shackles on this body can't be taken off, and you can't take it off."
"This victory and defeat is not in Lujiang, but in Jiangnan"
"I don't ask Ji Ling's department to exterminate more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhang County, I just ask them to delay time for us and drag it out until the food in Lujiang County is exhausted."
Zhou Yu's brows that had just been stretched out at this point furrowed again, and he felt a little tricky when he thought of the current situation. Yuan Zhoumu got the news of the remnants of Gepo's Yellow Turban, and he would personally come to Hefei Houguo to take charge. Because once the Marquis of Hefei is lost, then the door of Jiujiang County will be wide open. At that time, troops could enter Chengde to the north to threaten Shouchun, and to the east they could sweep the whole county.
The throat land naturally needs to be heavily defended, not to mention that the roads here are convenient and the news is smooth, which is far from being comparable to the outside of Lujiang County.
Countless thoughts were intertwined in his mind, and Zhou Yu immediately made a decision.
"Whether the lord can obtain the two counties of Lujiang and Yuzhang and become the two counties mainly depends on whether General Ji can hold back the main force of Yuzhang"
"Now that Yuzhang is too guarded by Jia Nian, Ji Ling's department has killed 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers have arrived outside the Danyang County Mansion, and the wealthy clans in the three counties south of the Yangtze River will inevitably surge. But because of the mutual restraint, it will not be revealed, but it will not allow this situation to continue for a long time."
"It is necessary to achieve a great victory in order to calm the hearts of the wealthy family, so his subordinates have the courage to go to Jiangnan alone to seek a support army for General Ji."
"Reinforcements?"
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, where did the reinforcements come from.
Zhou Yu smiled confidently and said to Sun Ce.
"One is the Yangtze River, the other is Shanyue"
"Yangtze River? Yamagoe? ”
Sun Ce repeated these two words, vaguely as if he had caught something.
Where are the reinforcements in the Yangtze River? I can't understand it at the moment, but Shanyue is really in front of him.
"Although Shanyue has been defeated again and again, the population still exists, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people, and there are 3,000 elite soldiers, but it is only because of the barrenness in the mountains that it was defeated in the hands of General Ji. If Shanyue can be convinced, then you can go straight to Yuzhang through Shanyue to enter Yuzhang County, and you must know that Yu Khan is in Peng Qing's hands."
"General Ji's department and Shanyue have a blood feud, do you think Shanyue will send troops to help?"
"Jia Nian and Shanyue Haoshuai also have a grudge against their brothers, even if they can't convince Shanyue, they can't let Shanyue fall into Jia Nian's hands. If Yuzhang gets Shanyue, Yuzhang's financial resources can form an army of more than 10,000 Shanyue in an instant. Moreover, there is a mountain to open the way, and the three counties can be attacked through the mountains, and the defeat at that time will be irretrievable. Therefore, subordinates need to make two preparations"
"Two hands?"
"Permission from the Lord"
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said solemnly to him.
Sun Ce gradually fell silent, constantly weighing in his heart.
Judging from this battle, Jia Nian is not an easy person, Gongjin can see Shanyue, then Yuzhang can also see Shanyue. If Yuzhang subdues Shanyue and uses huge financial resources to form a force of more than 10,000 Shanyue, even if he captures Lujiang County, it will be difficult to advance.
"Please leave it to Gongjin to contain Yuzhang"
"I will live up to the trust of the lord, and my subordinates will go to the Yangtze River"
"Be careful in everything and put your own safety first"
"No"
Zhou Yu bowed to Sun Ce to receive the order, and then strode towards the city gate.
Looking at Zhou Yu's back, Sun Ce's gradually sank, and the pressure swept over like a mountain. The Sun family has the plans of the Sun family, and Yu Zhang does not have Yu Zhang's plans. It is undeniable that the planning is good, but the final battle still depends on the hard-to-head duel between the two sides. I hope that Gong Jin can drag Shanyue and thus Yuzhang and give himself time to grow.
