Chapter 1026: A combined attack from Gan Ning and Sun Ce
Whether it takes half a month to get all this Wang Xuan doesn't know, and Xiahoudun doesn't know either, after all, this method of attacking the city is the first time Wang Xuan has used it.
At the same time that Xiahoudun and others tried every means to destroy Wang Xuan's side to build scaffolding, Cao Cao himself was not idle, Suiyang City dispatched troops, and the goal was directly aimed at Pengcheng, Cao Cao was not sure whether he could recapture Xiapi, but in any case, he must also do a good job in the defense of Pengcheng, and he must not let the Han army go further.
On the other side, in Wu County, the two brothers Sun Ce and Zhou Yu met Chen Qun again.
It's just that compared to the last time, Chen Qun's expression is unusually serious.
The two glanced at each other, Gan Ning's series of actions, due to the convenience of the Yangtze River waterway, the two received the news faster than Cao Cao, and also discussed Cao Cao's possible response, so the two of them were not too surprised by Chen Qun's appearance.
"I've seen Wu Chenghou." After entering the door, Chen Qun bowed slightly.
Sun Ce, who is in the realm of Gang Qi Release, is impossible to be killed by a sneak attack with an arrow, so Sun Ce is very nourishing in this life, of course, because of the navy that Wang Xuan made, the naval army on the side of Eastern Wu has no chance to dominate the world, so Sun Ce extinguished his plan to learn Liu Bei and Cao Cao to be kings, and just honestly inherited his father's Marquis of Wucheng.
After greeting for a while, Chen Qun said directly: "Presumably, Wuchenghou also knew about Gan Ning going upriver to seize Shouchun, and Qun came here to ask Wuchenghou to send troops to attack Gan Ning with our army!" ”
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce glanced at each other and then directly refused: "That's impossible, this is a battle between the King of Wei and the King of Han, for no reason, we will not participate in it." ”
When Chen Qun heard this, he took a deep look at Zhou Yu, God is special for no reason, isn't it just for benefits, but he didn't expect him to agree as soon as he said Sun Ce, "No, no, this world is not divided, but mutually balanced, at this moment, the world is divided into three parts and the Han King is powerful, it is the time for you and me to work together to resist Liu, at this critical moment, I also hope that Wucheng Hou will focus on the overall situation." ”
That's the overall situation of your Cao family, what does it have to do with me Sun Ce, Sun Ce secretly rolled his eyes and didn't speak, and Zhou Yu was better at it.
"Wen Chang's words are a bit alarmist, Gan Ning's lone army is deep, with no more than 20,000 soldiers, and he also divides his troops to garrison the seven cities so that the strength is scattered, it is just a disease of ringworm, isn't it possible to destroy it with the power of King Wei, why do you need the joint efforts of both sides."
……
Both of them are eloquent people, Sun Ce is going to fall asleep after a war of words, Zhou Yu bites to death to be a benefit, and Chen Qun's point of view is that 'the world family unites as a family' to fight against the great demon king Wang Xuan.
Although Jiangnan was nominally taken by Sun Ce, it was actually not Sun Ce's Yiyantang, Sun Ce at this moment was just the most powerful leader in the Jiangnan family, and there were four major families under it, 'Gu Lu Zhu Yu' were also powerful, and the entire Dongwu was said to be a monarchy rather than a feudal system, and Sun Ce was just the spokesperson of all the families, and he couldn't make a decision at all.
Eventually, Chen Qun and Zhou Yu reached an agreement, and Cao Jun exchanged more advanced iron-smelting technology for Eastern Wu's shipbuilding technology, and the two sides formed an alliance, with Sun Ce sending troops to fight Liu Bei.
With Liu Bei's pearl jade in front, the shipbuilding technology of Eastern Wu is not so precious, so the transaction between the two sides is quite equal.
And Sun Ce, who had been prepared for a long time, took Zhou Yu, Gu Yong, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Cai, Zhu Ran and others to Wuhu by boat at the next moment when the deal was reached.
In fact, after getting Gan Ning to take Shouchun, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu began to send troops to Wuhu, whether Cao Cao came to ask for help or not, both of them decided to fight Gan Ning.
If you don't ask for help, then take Jiujiang County and occupy a complete Yangzhou, if you come to ask for help, then after reaching a deal, you will have to take a handful of wool from Jiujiang County, anyway, Sun Ce can't watch Liu Bei really kill Cao Cao.
After all, in this three-legged situation, once Cao Cao collapses and sinks into the sand, then it will be his turn to Sun Ce next, which everyone in the world can understand, so bargaining is nothing more than a process.
In this era, there is the power of water transportation, whether it is in the deployment of troops or logistics transporters, can take too much advantage, at this moment the Dongwu side is, through the Yangtze River tributaries all the way north into Chaohu Lake, and then from Chaohu Lake into Shishui, just three days, Sun Ce led the army to Hefei City.
Although Gan Ning took Shouchun, theoretically it was equivalent to occupying the entire Jiujiang County, but the actual situation is that at this moment, Gan Ning's troops were empty, and the troops were divided along the way to occupy the county towns along the Huai River, and Shouchun at this moment was only 8,000 defenders, and for other towns in Jiujiang County, there was no ability to occupy it at all, so the head of Hefei was still hanging the banner of Cao Jun.
The gate of Hefei was wide open, Sun Ce led 40,000 people into the city, and took over the city defense at the first time, for the Hefei guards and county orders, Zhou Yu just said a sentence to protect the grain road and the back road to throw over, they were speechless, after all, it was the rescuers invited from their side, what else could they say.
It's just that when Sun Ce divided his troops to drive away the migratory people, the two couldn't calm down anymore, but in terms of the way and strength of the stop, Zhou Yu thought that there was no big difference between wanting to refuse and welcome, and wanting to talk or stopping, or to put it another way, 'Beauty, I can't move anymore, you can do whatever you want'.
Dissatisfaction must be expressed, but, in fact, everyone knows that if he doesn't pay something, how can Sun Ce do his best to fight Gan Ningna.
……
Shouchun, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Huang Xu, and Dian Wei sat opposite each other, with a heavy face.
Dian Wei has just returned from Xiapi, and I have to say that this kind of physical strength monster is easy to use, especially in the timeliness and safety of the message.
"Damn, Cao Cao is so shameless, he actually asked for help from his son's Dongwu!" In fact, Gan Ning also found that he was a little too big, and he was able to hold Jiujiang County with the strength of 8,000 men and naval troops after Wang Xuan pinned down a large number of troops in Xiangyang, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to find Sun Ce.
It's not that he's afraid of Sun Ce, but that the troops are insufficient, otherwise, with only one Hefei, Gan Ning will be sure to resist Sun Ce for a year!
After Wang Xuan tinkered out of the navy and saw the magnificence of the sea again, to be honest, Gan Ning and other generals of the Dry Water Army did not look down on these people in Dongwu.
A group of frogs at the bottom of a well that can only flutter in a small river ditch.
It's just that this is not on the sea, Sun Ce himself has already broken through the release of Gang Qi, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, the two veterans have also broken through the bottleneck, plus Zhu Ran of the Zhu family, the master of the realm of the four major Gang Qi release, it is enough to make Gan Ning retreat.
Of course, the more important reason is that there is no cheap to take advantage of.
"Old man!" After Gan Ning made up his mind, he looked at Dian Wei with a smile on his face.
"What for?" Dian Wei suddenly became alert.
"Are we brothers?" Gan Ning walked over and put his arm around Dian Wei's shoulder, and said enthusiastically: "Now that the little brother is in trouble, when you are the eldest brother, you can say whether you can help or not!" ”
Dian Wei knew too well that Gan Ning was his brother when he used it, and he was his younger brother's temperament when he used it up, so he shook his arm twice, but Gan Ning was like an octopus and didn't let go.
"Big brother, can't you save you when you die!" At this moment, where does Gan Ning have a little bit of the majesty of the naval governor, and he is a scoundrel when he gets rid of it, Zhou Tai and Huang Xu who watched it felt blushing.
"it!" Dian Wei was so convinced, he could only say with a dark face: "Why don't you hurry up and let go of Lao Tzu, tell me what's the matter!" ”
"Hahahaha, I know that Brother Dian is the most open-minded, anxious and righteous, and it is impossible to watch the little brother be bullied!" Gan Ning let go of his shoulders, but he grabbed Dian Wei's arm, and said shyly: "I also ask Brother Dian to lead troops to Xiquyang to help me resist Sun Ce's nosy bastard. ”
Dian Wei, the first person in the world to fight on foot, looked a lot better, and a smile also climbed up the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at Gan Ning, looking like you kid has a vision.
"Ahem, it's not difficult to block Sun Ce, but I'm still going back to restore the national teacher, besides, you kid yourself can't stop it, let me stop Sun Ce, so why are you going?"
"Me!" Gan Ning grinded his teeth and spat hard, "Damn, there is a way that thieves don't leave...... Ahh ”
"Our navy has spent so much manpower and material resources on a single dispatch, if there is no gain, how can we be worthy of these brothers under our command, so ......" Gan Ning sneered, "The younger brother is going to get rid of the population of Jiujiang County, even if he asks his wife Cao to take Jiujiang back, give him a bare Jiujiang County!" ”
"it!" "it!" "it!"
At this moment, including Dian Wei, the three of them all looked at Gan Ning in shock, this hand was too ruthless, under Liu Bei's rule, they had too deep a deep understanding of the importance of the population, if Gan Ning ran everyone away, it would be tantamount to drawing money from the bottom of the kettle, and in the end, Cao Cao was afraid that he would vomit blood and die.
This idea is very Ganning, isn't the thief empty!
But...... Why did Cao Cao feel so open when he thought of Cao Cao's expression when he saw the bare Jiujiang County?
Of course, they just said that Gan Ning was really capable of handling only this part of the Huai River Valley, but the ghost knew that without any communication, Gan Ning and Sun Ce reached a tacit understanding.
Sure enough, there is a providence in the dark, although the two did not become monarchs and ministers, their ideas coincide.
With such a joint effort, they cheated Boss Cao fiercely, but it is unknown what Boss Cao will think.
Well, Cao Cao, as a generation of heroes, has never seen any winds and waves, and he definitely won't care...... What a fart!
When the Huai River blockade was opened, Cao Cao vomited blood on the spot.
