Chapter 161: Ambush

Xu Sheng was captured.

This news fell into Sun Ce's ears, and it immediately made Sun Ce unable to sit still.

"Xu Sheng has been captured! If the enemy army has already occupied Dantu, then they are less than three hundred miles away from Wu County! ”

Sun Ce was shocked, and thought of something in an instant.

"Sound east to west, this is Yuan Yao's guy's strategy to sound east and west!"

"They are obviously here to attack Danyang, but they are actually going to attack my old nest Wu County!"

"Damn! I was actually attracted to Danyang by them, this trick is a trick to move the tiger away from the mountain, and it is really clever! ”

Sun Ce was angry, and punched the pillar next to the school field, and the thigh-thick pillar was suddenly cracked apart by this punch.

Sun Ce, who has always been docile and moody, is now furious, and this is the first time that everyone around him has seen Sun Ce so angry.

However, being angry is angry, and Sun Ce still has to find a way to solve this problem.

"Young master, what should I do now?"

After Huang Gai heard the news, he was also very big-headed, seeing that their situation in Danyang County was getting better and better, and there were already signs of expelling all the enemies in the future.

But there is a problem on Wu Jun's side again.

And judging from the current situation, they came to Danyang County to support, all of which were the other party's ploy, this feeling is like being led by the nose all the time, as if there is a sense of powerlessness, which arises spontaneously from the heart.

Sun Shixue pondered slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his head and looked at the generals behind him again.

"It's no wonder that these days, our people haven't found out about Yuan Yao."

"That kid, he is not a person who will sit still, presumably Yuan Yao is no longer in Danyang County at the moment, it is estimated that he left here a few days ago and went straight to our Wu County."

"He's no longer in Danyang County, just leave some people to garrison here and contain us, even if we take Danyang County back, what's the use?"

Sun Ce smiled bitterly, although Danyang County is also his territory, but after all, this place has been operated by Wu Jing for many years, and this territory is also managed by Wu Jing's uncle, where does he Sun Ce dare to grab land with his uncle.

So although Danyang is good, all his bases are in Wu County.

Wu County is his base camp, and it is also a place that cannot be missed.

"What else can I do, naturally withdraw!"

"Immediately set off and return to Wu County, rush to the aid of Zhang Zhao, and solve the trouble of Wu County."

Sun Ce immediately gave the order to retreat, and he couldn't care about Sun Ben on the other side, and the only thing he was most worried about at the moment was Wu Jun.

"Understood, young master, I'm going to mobilize the soldiers and horses."

Huang Gai nodded, Sun Ce's decision was also his current idea, returning to Wu County was the right choice.

The big camp outside the city, after receiving the signal for help from Wu County, was not willing at all, and at noon that day, Sun Ce led two thousand elites to Wu County first, and Huang Gai led the remaining less than two thousand people to the palace, and walked slowly.

The main reason for the separation is that some of the soldiers and horses under Sun Ce's command are wounded soldiers and some new soldiers, and these people can't travel for a long time.

And Sun Ce wanted to rush back to Wu County as soon as possible, so he could only leave the wounded soldiers and recruits behind the palace, and he took two thousand elites back first.

The army rushed from the vicinity of Danyang Dangtu County, and could have gone to Liyang County, and then went straight to Dantu.

However, Sun Ce did not dare to take risks, because his spies did not know much about the situation in Wu County, so they rashly led thousands of soldiers and horses to Dantu and easily encountered the enemy's ambush.

Even if there is no ambush, once the enemy army is encountered in Dantu, it will be difficult to rely on this manpower to play a great role.

Therefore, after a little thought, Sun Ce decided to go south, go to Wanling County, and then bypass Liyang County, go straight to Changxing, and then return to Wu County from the waters of Taihu Lake.

However, in this way, the distance has increased, a full six or seven hundred miles, and if Sun Ce wants to return to Wu County, the time will increase a lot.

If you go faster, it will take at least seven or eight days to reach Wu County, and if you walk slowly, it will take you half a month.

In half a month, I am afraid that Wu County will have several cities that will fall into the hands of Yuan Shu.

The more he thought about it, the more worried Sun Ce became.

couldn't help urging his subordinates to speed up in the direction of Wu County.

Fortunately, the boundary between Wu County and Danyang County is relatively familiar to Sun Ce, and he is also familiar with the road, so he doesn't need to take any unjust roads, he can rely on his memory to take the fastest route and go straight to Changxing.

When passing by Wanling County, Sun Ce still sent someone to talk to Wu Jing.

told Wu Jing what happened in Wu County, and after Wu Jing learned about it, he was naturally shocked.

But he was helpless, after all, he also understood the importance of Wu County, which must be more than his Danyang County.

Wu Jing sent someone to reply to Sun Ce, asking Sun Ce to go back to Wu County, there is no need to worry about Danyang County, without Yuan Yao's support, there are some rabble left, although Wu Jing can't eliminate them immediately, he can rely on the many county towns in Danyang, slowly accumulate troops, recruit village warriors, and finally can eliminate these rebels.

After all, most of the county seats are still in Wu Jing's hands.

Sun Ce didn't enter Wanling County to meet Wu Jing, after all, he was worried about the affairs of Wu County, so he should hurry up and go back early.

After waiting for four days, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses finally entered the territory of Changxing County, which can be regarded as entering the territory of Wu County.

However, before his soldiers and horses reached Changxing County, they were blocked by Yuan Yao.

A place called Niutou Mountain, Changxing County, also known as Changcheng County, because of the Spring and Autumn Period of Wu Yue hegemony, King Wu Lu sent his brother-in-law to build a city in the southeast of Pheasant City two miles ago, as the husband of the king. Because the city is long and narrow, it is called the Great Wall.

However, the locals call him Changxing more often.

Niutou Mountain is a similar cow-headed mountain in the west of Changxing, this place is the only way for Changxing to go to Wanling County, although the mountain is not high, but the jungle is dense, and there are many bamboos.

When the forest is deep, it is naturally easy to hide people.

This is also when Yuan Yao set off from Liyang County to Changxing with his soldiers and horses, and he noticed the benefits of this place.

Lin Shen didn't see anyone, and he only needed a little ambush, so he could arrange an ambush here and wait for Sun Ce's arrival.

Yuan Yao expected that Sun Ce would not dare to go to Liyang County and go to Dantu, but would go to Changxing County, so he only needed to wait here.

Of course, in order to avoid accidents, he still left 3,000 soldiers and horses to wait in Liyang County, and he asked Qiao Rui to lead 5,000 men and horses to Changxing to attack Changxing County, while he himself took the rest of the men and horses to ambush here.
