Guangling.
Sun Ce and Lu Bu's main battlefield.
Sun Ce relied on the flexibility of the navy to easily bypass Lu Bu's defense line north of the river and successfully landed on the beach.
However, both sides were not feeling well now.
Lu Bu's side had fewer people, and there were still ten thousand new recruits. He had hoped that Yuan Shu's side could share some of the pressure, but he did not expect that the other side's ten thousand troops were also new recruits.
Ji Ling strictly followed Yuan Yao's instructions and never participated in direct combat. She only slacked off to the side.
Although Sun Ce had the advantage in numbers, Lu Bu was too fierce. There was no general in Jiangdong who could be his enemy.
Liu Yao died, and his subordinate Taishi Ci submitted to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce brought Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, himself, and Taishi Ci to fight against Lu Bu.
The result was obvious. Lu Bu had beaten the sh * t out of him.
Lu Bu was definitely the ceiling of the three kingdoms.
This guy had the record of fighting Cao Ying alone.
Lu Bu had fought against the six generals, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Yue Jin, but the result was that Lu Bu could not hold them back and returned to the city.”
Even though he didn't win, he fought six of them alone and fought for dozens of rounds. It was impressive enough.
Moreover, the quality of the Six Generals of River East could not be compared to the quality of the Six Generals of Cao Wei at all. It was normal that they could not defeat them.
Sun Ce's camp, the central tent.
"Report!"
"Reporting to General, there is news from Yuzhang. The Jingzhou army took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Yuzhang. They have already conquered Pengze and are heading straight for Nanchang.”
"Old ghost Liu Biao! I bought a watch last year! How dare he invade my Yuzhang County?”
Sun Ce's anger rose when he heard that.
"Yuzhang doesn't have any defenders, and we don't have enough soldiers. Liu Biao is attacking our weakness!”
Zhou Yu frowned.
This time, in order to take down Guangling, Sun Ce had mobilized all his elite soldiers, leaving only a small number of troops for public security.
"Gongjin, what should we do now? Guangling had not been taken down yet, and now that Liu Biao had taken the opportunity to invade the border, could they only retreat?! Ah! I'm so angry!"
Sun Ce began to rage.
" Don't worry. We have the upper hand in the battle at Guangling. It's a pity to retreat this time. The Jiangbei front station is extremely important to us. We must take it down as soon as possible and manage it properly. Only then will we have the upper hand in Beigu in the future.”
As a player of the Martial Temple, Zhou Yu naturally knew the importance of Lianghuai. Now that he couldn't take down Lianghuai, he could only attack Guangling first.
"But we have just taken down Yuzhang, and the people in the territory are unstable. Once Liu Biao succeeds, he will definitely escape our control very quickly.
At that time, Liu Biao's navy would not have to stay at Jiangxia Pass. They would head directly to Chaisang and Poyang Lake to guard the main road of the lake. Relying on the crisscrossing waters of River East, their mobility would be very strong! It would also threaten the safety of Pill Sun County.”
Sun Ce could still see it clearly. Although he was not good at exquisite schemes, as a general, he was still very accurate in controlling the situation.
"Don't worry, let me think."
Zhou Yu also knew the seriousness of the matter, but he really did not want to give up on Guangling.
They had expended so much manpower, resources, money, and food this time. If they returned empty-handed, the losses would be too great.
Sun Ce hadn't been in the Jiangdong Empire for long and hadn't accumulated enough wealth. Moreover, with the Jiangdong aristocratic families holding him back, Sun Ce wasn't as glorious as he appeared to be.
"Bofu, you will continue to lead your troops to fight Lu Bu here. I will personally deal with the enemy in Yuzhang.”
"Two-line battle? Isn't the risk too great?"
Sun Ce was a little hesitant.
"Hehe, since it's Jiang Xia, the leader must be that useless Huang Zu. Just give me 5,000 water army!
Before you take down Guangling, Yuzhang County will not suffer any mishaps.”
The future Jiangdong Governor said in high spirits.
Zhou Yu had the confidence to use 5,000 men to deal with the Yellow Ancestor's army.
Zhou Yu: Water battle? Ancestor Huang knew how to fight in the water?
"Good! Since Gong Jin was willing to go personally, there shouldn't be any problems.”
Sun Ce had complete trust in Zhou Yu. Without Zhou Yu's advice, he would not be the little tyrant of River East today.
"Gongjin, do you need anything? You can choose anything in the army."
Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yu's mission was very heavy, so he wanted to fully support Zhou Yu's expedition.
"No need, just randomly pick 5,000 Internet Water Army.”
"Then why don't you drive away our biggest battleships? We won't need them on land anyway.”
Big is strong! The simplest logic.
"No, I can't! No! Give me all our small boats, those below Mengchong, those that are traveling and those that are not.”
"Why? Small boats couldn't last long in battle! The number of people was small to begin with, and the ships were inferior to the other party. How could they fight this battle?”
Sun Ce objected, thinking that Zhou Yu did not want to give him too much pressure.
"Bofu misunderstood. I am going to delay Ancestor Huang, not to annihilate him. I have few soldiers, so I naturally cannot fight head-on.
On the contrary, the small boat had the advantage of maneuverability, flexibility, and speed. It could play a role in harassment. At the very least, it could escape faster, right?”
Sun Ce suddenly understood Zhou Yu's strategy.
"Alright then, I'll let you prepare it for you now!”
"Alright, there's no time to lose. Speed is important in war. I'll set off today.”
Zhou Yu was full of confidence and did not put Ancestor Huang's 50,000 troops in his eyes at all.
The great river flows east, the waves wash away, he is a legendary figure.
On the west side of the old camp, people said that it was the Red Cliff of Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms.
The reason why some people could leave their names in history and be remembered for eternity was naturally because they had extraordinary abilities.
Besides, an extraordinary person must be able to do extraordinary things.
On that day, Zhou Yu secretly led 5,000 navy troops and set off without alerting anyone.
However, the mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Yuan Yao had been planning for so long, waiting for this moment!
"The Jingzhou army is already in position. Yuzhang is the second largest county in Yangzhou, and Lujiang and Jiujiang combined are not even as big as Yuzhang. Sun Ce will definitely not sit by and watch Yuzhang be occupied by Liu Biao.
Especially since Liu Biao was Sun Ce's father's murderer. If he can really tolerate it, then I'll be unlucky!”
Yuan Yao was standing on the water stronghold of Chaohu Lake, looking south. Across the Yangtze River was the boundary of Jiangdong.
"Your Highness has planned for so long. This time, it will definitely succeed!”
Qiao Rui was even more confident than Yuan Yao.
Just as the two of them were conversing, a small boat entered the water stronghold. Yuan Yao's gaze followed it.
The small boat was very fast and arrived in front of Yuan Yao in a short while.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, the Wuhu spies have sent news that two hours ago, a navy team headed toward the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.”
The corners of Yuan Yao's mouth could not help but curl up into a smile when he heard that, and then it slowly expanded.
"Hahaha! Wuhu! This was the will of the heavens! Gather the entire army! Cross the river and fight!"
Yuan Yao, Wuhu! Take off!
