Chapter 1180: Tranquility Before the Storm

When Yanyang led the army to arrive, the battle had ended for a while, Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao led the army into Guandu to set up defenses, Cao Cao's arrival made the coalition army momentum, but now Ma Chao died in battle, the Xiliang army was annihilated, Cao Cao and Zhou Yu fought a defeat, and now the total strength of the coalition army is about 400,000, of which 300,000 are in Guandu, and 100,000 are stationed next to Chen Liu, forming a corner of each other to resist the enemy.

"The battle is over? Where is Zhou Yu? Sun Ce yelled, his eyes were bloodshot, according to the current situation, it should be Cao Cao's victory, but where did Zhou Yu go, he didn't see anyone alive or dead, which made Sun Ce furious.

"Storm the city!" Jia Xu said quietly.

Yanyang did not say a word, immediately ordered to advance, the soldiers came to the city, Guandu is a huge city, the city wall is thick, it is full of their respective flags, representing the princes of all places, the defenders stand on it, under the leadership of Xiahou Xun Cao Ren is waiting for the battle.

The siege of the city was just a pretense, and it didn't take long for Jia Xu to order the withdrawal of the army, and Sun Ce was a little puzzled: "Why is Mr. like this?" ”

"The goal has been achieved, and it is useless to fight again!" Jia Xu said.

"What?" Sun Ce was still puzzled, he was anxious, and he couldn't wait to immediately grab Cao Cao to ask, whether Zhou Yu was dead or alive?

"Zhou Yu is still alive!" Pang Tong smiled slightly: "If Zhou Yu is defeated and dies, presumably the defenders will not look angry and angry, but should be arrogant, obviously their purpose has not been fully achieved, so it is so!" ”

"That's good!" Sun Ce calmed down when he heard this, he was convinced of Jia Xu Pangtong's judgment, since they said that Zhou Yu was still alive, there would definitely be no accident.

Jia Xu sighed: "Despite this, I'm afraid Zhou Yu's current situation is very bad, judging from the traces of the battle on the spot, that battle was extremely tragic, it can be said that the blood flowed like a river, and countless injuries, and the Jiangdong Army was calculated and ambushed, the losses must be even heavier, Zhou Yu can't choose to return to Yanzhou now, and Si Li is full of coalition soldiers and horses, and he can't go, so he is likely to be trapped somewhere now, and the situation is sinister!" ”

"Then what to do, you must save him!" Sun Ce was anxious and couldn't wait to find Zhou Yu immediately and save him from danger.

Jia Xu sighed: "According to the current situation, Zhou Yu should be hidden in the mountains and forests near Guandu, the coalition forces should know this better than us, if you go forward, it is easy to be attacked by the coalition forces from behind, and not only can we not rescue it at that time, but even we will be defeated, this matter should be considered in the long run!" ”

Sun Ce was helpless, he knew that what Jia Xu said was the truth, and the current situation could only be like this, otherwise he would probably lose everything, and he would not even be able to rescue Zhou Yu.

In the end, Yanyang still chose to retreat, but he did not stay away, but directly pounced on Zhongmu City not far away, the defenders here are only thousands, seeing the arrival of Yanyang's army, he immediately abandoned the city and fled, Yanyang did not pursue, and was stationed on the spot.

There are too many things that happened in the course of this battle, which makes people feel physically and mentally exhausted, and Zhang Fan is still in a coma and needs to recuperate.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan's injuries were not too serious, the recovery speed of the Tianwu Realm generals was amazing, and there was no major problem, Qin Yao was always by his side, which allowed Zhang Fan to get the peace and warmth that he had not seen for a long time.

"When will the war end? Countless heroic souls are buried in other places, which is really regrettable! Zhang Fan sat on the sickbed, his eyes looking far away, deep and bitter.

Qin Yao sighed lightly, she was just a weak woman, she thought it was just a game, but she was involved in such a whirlpool, witnessed too much blood and tears, experienced too many tragic epics, and didn't know what to say at the moment, only sighed.

People will grow, although the price is heavy, but they have to go through, heartbreak again and again, tears again and again, which makes people stronger and braver, but who knows the pain?

Coming to this point, there is no possibility of turning back, countless eyes are condensed here, the endless burden is overweighted, you can't escape, you can't get out, but if you don't bear it, who should you let bear?

"I'm sure it'll be over soon!" Qin Yao said solemnly.

Zhang Fan hugged her into his arms and smiled slightly: "With you by my side, I have no regrets!" ”

……

The battle has been carried out to such a point, no one is the real winner, although Ma Chao is dead, but Cao Cao is a more terrible opponent, and the casualties of Zhang Fan's Jizhou army are also very heavy, and there are hundreds of thousands of people left now, and there are still some players, how many heroes are buried in their bones, it is really impossible to count.

Zhang Fan is still very responsible, those players who have been injured too much due to the death of the battle have all been transferred to the rear, guarding in Keiguan, most of the people left behind maintain their combat strength, of course, there are some who are not willing to leave, Zhang Fan asked them to do some less dangerous work, so that the military strength of the Jizhou army shrank again, only about 150,000 people remained, but these people have experienced bloody battles and truly become elite divisions, and everyone's will is extremely firm and can complete any task.

Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, during this period, there has been no movement in the two cities of Guandu and Chenliu, no one has left the city, and there is no trace of Zhou Yu, but the more this is the more uneasy it is, this is the tranquility before the storm.

"Zhou Yu came in a hurry, and he must not have much grain and grass with him, I'm afraid that before Cao Cao can go to encircle and suppress, he will die due to food shortage!" Sun Ce was anxious, this was a blunt knife that hurt people, and it was the most painful.

Zhang Fan was a little better, he was already able to get out of bed and walk around, and smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, you don't need to worry about food and grass!" ”

Sun Ce was slightly stunned, and then his eyes lit up: "Could it be that my uncle has already found Gongjin and asked people to transport grain from Jizhou to the division?" ”

There is only one Yellow River between Jizhou and Sili, and Guandu is not far from the bank of the Yellow River, so it is quite convenient to come from Jizhou.

Zhang Fan shook his head: "The banks of the Yellow River are full of Cao army soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to break through with the current military strength of Jizhou, but a few people have successfully lurked over and brought the divine doctor Hua Tuo to ensure that Zhou Yu is safe!" ”

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhang Fan's movements to be so fast, but he was still a little uneasy: "But it is difficult to hold on for a long time without grain and grass, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is!" ”

Zhang Fan smiled slightly, of course he was prepared for this, when he learned the news that Zhou Yu was trapped, Yan Yang took the initiative to contact Jizhou, it was naturally too late to pass the message, he contacted Fu Chen through real means, Aoshuang Douxue, etc., so that they immediately led Hua Tuo to lurk across the river, and successfully found Zhou Yu through some Jiangdong Army codes told by Sun Ce, at this moment Zhou Yu's injuries have gradually recovered, and the situation is stable.

Speaking of grain and grass, Zhang Fan was even more disapproving: "Didn't Bo Fu forget that I was besieged by Lu Bu in Guandu?" How do you think I survived? ”
