Danyang County, Wanling.
More than a month had passed since Sun Ce's defeat.
However, once Sun Ce returned to Dan Yang, he quickly withdrew his troops and recruited more soldiers.
After that, Wu County's Zhu Zhi abandoned the city and led 3,000 soldiers to surrender.
In just a month, Sun Ce's army had recovered to more than ten thousand.
However, Sun Ce did not have as much money and food as Liu Bei. He was already struggling to expand his army.
Sun Ce stood in the county governor's manor and looked at a piece of cloth with a frown.
After a long time, he sighed,"
"I didn't expect that the defeat that day was actually because of this Yun Yi alone!”
"If we had known about this person, our army would not have ended up like this!”
Qin Song and Chen Duan both lowered their heads.
These few days, for some reason, Yun Yi's name seemed to have been deliberately spread and gradually spread.
They also knew that Liu Bei had obtained such a peerless strategist!
As strategists, being defeated by such a person was understandable, but it was a great humiliation for them!
At this moment, an old man with a long white beard sighed.
"This Yun Yi is not famous. If not for someone recently becoming famous for him, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to know this person!”
"This person has such talent and is a perfect match for Liu Bei.”
When Sun Ce saw the old man speak, he hurriedly said,"
"Does Lord Zhang have a good plan to deal with him?"
The old man he called Duke Zhang was Zhang Hong!
This old man was the person who had decided the strategy for Sun Ce to go south. Although his reputation was not as good as Zhang Zhao's, he was Sun Ce's most trusted advisor.
In later generations, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao were generally called the two Zhang of Jiangdong.
Zhang Hong stroked his long beard and smiled.
"This Yun Yi offered Liu Bei a strategy for the south and is proficient in tactics. He can be said to be a rare genius!”
"This old man is old. I'm afraid I'm not a match for such a young talent!”
"I wonder if Gongjin has any good ideas?"
Following Zhang Hong's reminder, everyone shifted their attention to a young man in the manor.
Zhou Yu was dressed in white. He had a mighty figure, a vertical crown on his head, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. He was very heroic!
However, at this moment, he was holding the battle report and looking at it by himself, looking quite carefree and content.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhou Yu smiled and said,"
"Everyone, don't look at me like that. I'm terrified!”
When Sun Ce saw this, he quickly stood up and said,"
"Gongjin, what time is it?”
"You still have the mood to joke around!"
"Right now, Liu Bei has occupied Wu County and has over 20,000 mercenaries.”
"If we don't subdue him soon, I'm afraid River East will belong to Liu Bei in the future!”
Facing Sun Ce's urgent question, Zhou Yu shook his head indifferently and said,"
"In my opinion, Liu Bei's army cannot occupy River East!”
"The more soldiers he has, the more advantage our army has!”
"Why are you all so worried?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed.
How could there be such logic in the world?
The more soldiers the enemy has, the more advantage you will have?
Sun Ce frowned and said,"
"Could it be that Gongjin is drunk?”
"Why don't we go home and rest first?"
Only Zhang Hong looked at Zhou Yu and tried to say,"
"Could it be that Gongjin already has a plan to defeat the enemy?”
Zhou Yu smiled and said,"
"Zhang Gong really understands Yu!"
After saying that, Zhou Yu stood up and looked around."
"Everyone, in my opinion, Liu Bei is already vulnerable. It will be easy to destroy Liu Bei!”
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu's confident expression and hurriedly said,"
"Gongjin, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled."
"It can't be considered a brilliant plan. Yun Yi is extremely good at scheming. In terms of strategy, I'm afraid he's not his match!”
"Therefore, the only way to defeat this person is through strategy!”
"After a month of observation, I realized that Yun Yi is good at tactics, but weak at strategy!”
"And now, he probably hasn't realized that Liu Bei's army has a fatal weakness!”
"Oh?"
Sun Ce hurriedly said,"
"What weakness?"
The officials also looked at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu stretched out a finger and said seriously,"
"Liu Bei doesn't have a troll army!"
As he spoke, he came in front of the map and said,
"Everyone, watch!"
"Although Liu Bei has crossed the river and seized Wu County, he has gained a firm foothold.”
"But Liu Bei's foundation is in Guangling!”
"There is a great river between Guangling and Wujun. Liu Bei doesn't have a navy, which is his fatal weakness!”
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Cheng Pu frowned and said,"
"Gongjin's words make sense, but even if we have a navy, we can at most cut off the Yangtze River. How can we defeat Liu Bei's army?”
"Duke Cheng, it's enough that our army can cut off the Yangtze River!”
Zhou Yu smiled confidently and said,"
"Indeed, now that Liu Bei's army has entered Wu County, his army is almost twice as strong as ours!”
"It will be extremely difficult to defeat Liu Bei's army.”
"But now, Liu Bei has made a huge mistake. Our army doesn't need to attack to easily defeat Liu Bei's army!”
Sun Ce and the other generals were still confused.
Zhang Hong also frowned.
"Could it be that Gongjin wants to cut off the rations of Liu Bei's army?”
"That's right!"
Zhou Yu pointed at Guangling and said,"
"Everyone knows that Liu Bei's foundation is in Guangling. Although Liu Bei has brought rations and supplies to attack Jiangdong, the quantity is definitely not much!”
"After that, Liu Bei defeated the lord and seized Liu Yao's supplies. He had enough rations to continue maintaining the army, so he did not need to take food from the rear.”
"Later on, Liu Bei defeated Yan Baihu and seized the supplies again. He still didn't need rations!”
"In other words, from the very beginning, Liu Bei had never taken grain from Guangling!”
"And Liu Bei's mistake, should never have been in expanding the army!”
"Originally, he only had ten thousand people, but now it has expanded to twenty thousand!”
"This way, the consumption of rations and supplies will definitely increase greatly!”
"If our army cuts off the Yangtze River now, won't he lose the support of rations in the rear?”
Sun Ce was puzzled.
"But now that the autumn harvest is approaching, Liu Bei will be able to replenish his rations with these rations!”
Zhou Yu smiled and said,"
"This is where our military strategy lies!"
"If our army gathers our superior forces now and attacks the counties, the enemy soldiers will definitely not dare to leave the city when they see our strength!”
"And our army can use this to harvest the rice in each county. Even if we can't harvest it, we can destroy it all!”
"This way, not only will Liu Bei have no harvest this autumn, but there will also be a large number of refugees under his rule!”
"But under such circumstances, Liu Bei's retreat is cut off, and he can't gather rations!”
"Even if Liu Bei wanted to go south, he would have to cross the Qiantang River first.”
"But Liu Bei doesn't have a navy. Our army can completely cut off this river.”
"In this way, our navy has created an iron wall to trap Liu Bei in Wu County!”
"At that time, even if Yun Yi has the ability to reach the heavens, how can he conjure grain out of thin air?”
"When our army holds Danyang, I'm afraid that Liu Bei won't even last for half a year before we collapse!”
Zhou Yu's strategy was laid out in great detail, and everyone in the manor was dumbfounded.
If the strategy could really be carried out like Zhou Yu, then the more soldiers Liu Bei had, the more burdensome they would be!
Zhang Hong smiled and said,"
"Gongjin, this is a dead end!"
"If this plan succeeds, we can subdue the enemy without fighting!”
Sun Ce also praised,
"Among us generals, no one can compare to Gongjin in terms of combat!”
Zhou Yu did not change his expression in the face of such praise. He only said humbly,"
"In terms of fighting, I only took advantage of the navy!”
Seeing this, Sun Ce did not think it was easy. He immediately stood up and said,
"Now, we will follow Gongjin's plan. With Gongjin as the commander, we will cut off the Yangtze River. Our army will prepare to attack Liu Bei's counties!”
"This time, I will make Liu Bei pay with his blood!”
Hearing this, all the generals accepted the order in unison.
For a moment, Sun Ce's army in Danyang County moved again. The entire River East was in a state of impending storm!
