Chapter 574: Sun Ce Asks for Battle
Shouchun Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.
Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, the expression on his face was unpredictable, and his eyes were fixed on a soldier, and his eyes were filled with anger. Just now, news suddenly came that Yangzhou Mu Jia Nian laid an ambush outside Jianye City and ambushed Sun Ce's department.
Half of Sun's private troops were killed and wounded, and now they have retreated to the Hou Kingdom of Hefei and are galloping in the direction of Shouchun. There was mixed joy about this news, but then it was 10,000 soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River who went north, and the counties of Jiujiang were lost one after another.
This makes me unacceptable and unwilling to accept it. Obviously, today's strength can stand out from the crowd, why is it that he has been beaten to the door now? As I looked around the room, a silent sense of oppression swept around.
All the generals of the Yuan clan bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look at Yuan Shu, lest anger come for no reason.
"Newspaper"
"Lujiang Taishou begs to see"
A soldier came running quickly and shouted at Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu suppressed his anger and commanded the soldier.
"Let Him In"
"No"
The soldier bowed in reply, then turned and walked back.
After a while, there was the sound of footsteps, and everyone looked at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Ce's arrival undoubtedly gave the lord a place to vent, and these anger would not come to his head.
"Lujiang Taishou Sun Ce visits the lord"
"At the end of this battle, the general insisted on going his own way, rashly raising troops to the south to attack Jianye, so that he strayed into Jia Yuzhang's ambush"
"If you lose more than half of your troops, please punish the Lord"
Sun Ce bowed and said loudly to Yuan Shu, his tone was a little low.
This is a thousand and five hundred people, but the effort, manpower, and material resources consumed by Sun's private army are unimaginable. And they are the foundation of the Sun family, and now that more than half of the casualties are lost, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.
A scribe did not wait for Yuan Shu to speak, and then bowed to him.
"The Lord"
"The top priority is not to investigate Sun Taishou's crimes, but to find a way to keep the Marquis of Hefei"
"If 10,000 soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River go north to Hefei Houguo, then they can echo with the first-line soldiers and horses of Chaohu and Changhe Town.
The voice sounded in everyone's ears, and the generals of Yuan Shu all nodded secretly.
Even in the eyes of some people, more than half of the casualties of Sun's private soldiers are a good thing. At this time, it is a bit too much to hold Sun Ce responsible.
"The Lord"
"The soldiers and horses of the Hou Kingdom of Hefei are only 7,000 people, and at this time, the soldiers of Shouchun should be immediately transferred to the aid to avoid accidents."
Another man dressed as a scribe said to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu's gaze looked around the two of them, gradually hesitated, and finally fell on Sun Ce's body.
"Well, let's write it down for the time being, and then punish it after the end of the war."
"Thank you for your innocence"
Sun Ce said loudly to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu nodded slowly, his gaze looking around the two scribes.
"I wonder what the two advisors think about the current situation?"
"The lord sits in Yuzhou, holds the land of Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, and the soldiers are full of food and food in the south of the Yangtze River, so there is nothing to be afraid of"
"Please send troops to aid the Hou State of Hefei as soon as possible, as long as the Hou State of Hefei is still in the hands of our army, then Jiujiang County will not be lost"
"Relying on the fortified city of the Marquis of Hefei, the main force in the south of the Yangtze River was defeated, and at that time it could sweep the south of the Yangtze River with a great victory, and Yangzhou was determined"
The two scribes whispered to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu's heart was a little moved, and when he was about to give a military order, he suddenly heard a violent sound.
"Newspaper"
"The Marquis of Hefei has been lost, and Qiao Rui's department has withdrawn to Shouchun"
The voice fell, and everyone was struck by lightning.
How long has it been since Sun Ce escaped? Why has the Marquis of Hefei already been lost? Qiao Rui has been stationed in the Hou Kingdom of Hefei for several months, how could he be defeated so quickly?
Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that Qiao Gong was really a person he could trust. Unexpectedly, he had such courage to take the initiative to give up the Marquis of Hefei and was willing to bear the punishment of Yuan Yuzhou.
"Newspaper"
"Runan Express"
"Jingzhou Mu Liu's cousin led five major armies and horsemen to the city of Runan"
"Runan told General Ji for urgent help"
Hearing this sudden news, everyone was stunned in place. Jingzhou? Jingzhou actually sent troops? Actually sent troops at this time? is a good Liu Biao, and he dares to offend my Runan.
The hearts of the two scribes suddenly sank to the bottom, as Yuan Zhoumu's advisor, it was enough to prove their talents. The situation in the world is right in front of you, how can you not understand it.
Jingzhou's dispatch of troops was just right, and it was obvious that it had long been connected with Jiangnan. If not, why did the Marquis of Hefei miss out, then he would send troops to Runan? This forced the lord to make a choice, whether he wanted Yuzhou or Jiujiang and Lujiang.
But is there a choice now? Compared with Yuzhou, Jiujiang and Lujiang are nothing.
"The Lord"
"Jingzhou raised 50,000 troops, and the troops of Shouchun should be immediately sent back to help Runan"
"If not, I'm afraid that Runan City will be in danger"
"Besides, most of the wives and children of our soldiers are in Runan, once they hear that Jingzhou is coming, I am afraid that the unintentional conquest and escape will be unstoppable."
A man dressed as a scribe said to Yuan Shu.
Another man dressed as a scribe hurriedly bowed.
"Please return to Runan immediately"
"Please return to Runan immediately"
The generals of the Yuan clan reacted and shouted in unison at Yuan Shu.
Thinking of his wife and children in Runan City, he couldn't help but become anxious.
The anger spread, and Yuan Shu hammered the case hard, and the loud sound overshadowed the generals' pleas. A good light reinforcement, a good one immediately rushed to help Runan. In the face of the joint offensive of Jiangnan and Jingzhou, did they just give up the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang?
But what can be done now that it is stronger than people.
"How can you not allow the herd of this state to be invited, but we are waiting to help Runan, what about this Shouchun City?"
"But someone is willing to stay in Shouchun and hold on, and after our army defeats the soldiers of Jingzhou, they can wave their army to meet Jia Yuzhang."
When the voice fell, all the generals of the Yuan clan lowered their heads one after another, not daring to face Yuan Shu, lest they become the guards of Shouchun City. Now that Jia Yuzhang has sent troops and has captured the Marquis of Hefei, how can the soldiers resist? Besides, the army is about to rush to Runan, and I am afraid that this Shouchun will not be able to hold it.
"The Last General's Order"
"I am willing to be the vanguard of General Qiao Rui's department, garrison Shouchun City, and make atonement for my crimes"
Sun Ce took the opportunity to say to Yuan Shu.
The generals of the Yuan clan reacted instantly, and there was also Qiao Rui and the seven thousand soldiers and horses under his command. If you add the 1,500 soldiers and horses under Sun Ce's department, it is not without the strength of a battle.
"With Qiao Rui as the main general and Sun Ce as the deputy general, make up for 10,000 soldiers and horses to stick to Shouchun"
"The rest of the generals, follow me to help Runan"
"No"
Everyone shouted in unison, and the aura of slaughter gradually spread.
Faced with the pressure brought by Jingzhou, Jiujiang and Lujiang became unpredictable. With Qiao Rui and Sun Ce in the way, this crisis can be avoided. Thinking of these Yuan generals, he cast a grateful gaze at the same time.
