By the time Yuan Yao's 10,000-strong navy arrived, Sun Ce had already fled. Chen Gong had already reacted and was leading his troops to the shore.
"Sigh, Sun Ce is really cunning. He escaped from a situation where he was supposed to die.”
Chen Gong understood what was going on when he saw the Internet Water Army under Yuan Shu.
"Forget it. As long as we can defend Guangling prefecture, we won't suffer too many losses.”
Lu Bu didn't care.
Chen Gong sighed in his heart. Guangling prefecture, which had no population, was really useless. It was a pity to abandon it.
Seeing that there was no chance, the navy returned upstream and returned to Wuhu a day later.
After hearing the report from the navy, Yuan Yao cursed Lu Bu and Chen Gong for wasting such a good opportunity.
"Since you can't kill Sun Ce, then you guys go and beat up Sun Ce's navy and cooperate with Jingzhou to help them quickly take down Yuzhang.”
Although Yuan Yao didn't know that Zhou Yu was the commander of the navy, it didn't stop him from attacking him.
Since he couldn't keep Sun Ce in Guangling, he had to let Jingzhou take Yuzhang Prefecture. Only then would Yuan Yao be able to gain a firm foothold in Danyang Prefecture. Otherwise, he would be the only family on the south bank of the Yangtze River and would definitely be attacked by Sun Ce.
Yuan Yao really wanted to help Jingzhou because he couldn't take Yuzhang for the time being.
"Old Yuan was just messing around before. The soldiers and officials under him were barely enough to occupy four counties. I really don't know how the 11 counties were managed.”
Yuan Yao felt that Old Yuan was probably herding sheep at that time. He laid down to sleep and let the sheep find grass to eat.
"Danyang and Yuzhang formed a corner with each other. Sun Ce attacked Danyang, Yuzhang sent troops to attack Wujun, and vice versa.
The premise was that he had to build a good relationship with the Jing State and not be like Lu Bu, who was a brother on the surface.”
After Yuan Yao had formulated the strategy to conquer Jiangdong, Qiao Rui came back from outside.
"Reporting to Your Highness, we have already taken over the entire Pill Sun County, so the resistance forces have been suppressed and eliminated.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Duke Qiao.”
Qiao Rui had already led the troops to sweep for two days and one night, and they had not rested yet.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave for now.”
Qiao Rui did not decline.
"Men, bring my token and cross the river. Have Ji Ling and Yan Xiang gather fifty thousand men and quickly cross the river.”
Yuan Yao instructed the guard beside him.
"Here!"
"Little tyrant is definitely going to risk his life with me this time. Now that Jingzhou hasn't taken down Yuzhang, this first wave of counterattack will definitely have to be resisted.”
Yuan Yao wasn't too worried. After Ji Ling brought her troops over, Pill Sun would have an army of 90,000.
Sun Ce only had 40,000 men left. As long as they held on, Sun Ce was helpless.
"Damn it! He had to get a few fierce generals to support him. Every time he fought, he would hide like a turtle and not come out. It made him so cowardly!
After killing Sun Ce and taking in his subordinates, Lu Bu could get Zhang Liao and Gao Shun over.”
Even though Lu Bu was Yuan Yao's ally and father-in-law, if there was a chance, Yuan Yao would kill him first! Lu Bu was too stupid. There was a risk of being infected by being his neighbor, and he always liked to be a snitch.
"The greatest joy in life is to defeat and kill the enemy, seize everything they have, ride their horses, and take their wives and concubines!”
Lu Bu's steeds and wives were the best in the world! Moreover, two tigers could not live on the same mountain. Xu Prefecture bordered Huai River, so there was bound to be a life-and-death battle.
"I can't do it myself, so I'll have to let Cao Cao take the blame. Otherwise, it'll be bad for my reputation.”
Although Old Yuan had lost his reputation, he still had to forcefully restore his dignity.
Yuan Yao rubbed his chin and began to think about scamming people. Since his father had already been scammed, wasn't it normal to scam his father-in-law?

Qu 'a.
After Sun Ce returned to his base camp and crossed the Yangtze River, he felt very safe. This was also the reason why the southern regime had never thought of making progress.
The south of the Yangtze River was a comfortable area. The weather was good, the girls were beautiful, and life was comfortable. They ate rice and fish and prawns in the river. Who would be willing to go north after a long time?
"Tell me, what should we do now?”
Sun Ce sat on the main seat and spoke. His expression was not good.
"My lord, Danyang County has fallen, but Yuzhang County has Gongjin to deal with, so it should not have fallen yet.”
Zhang Zhao spoke first.
"What does Mr. Zhang mean? Before Yuzhang fell, before Yuan Shu's army could gain a stable footing, should he directly drive them back to Jiangbei?”
Sun Ce said thoughtfully.
"My lord, I request to fight."
Taishi Ci was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
"I request to fight!" 4
Old F4 from Jiangdong was also unwilling to be left behind.
Sun Ce's subordinates had many factions. Old generals like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, who had assisted the Sun family's father and son generations, worked hard and made great contributions.
Then, there were the younger generation like Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai, as well as the navy led by Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce was very good at fighting, and he was like a brother to Zhou Yu. Therefore, although the factions would compete with each other, they were still in a healthy competition.
After Sun Quan ascended the throne, there were even more factions, and the Dongjiang Family was also involved.
Huai, Si, the imperial clan, Sun Ce's old generals, Sun Jian's old generals, Wu Jun's aristocrats, and Sun Quan's own people.
Factions were everywhere, restricting each other.
In the fifth year of Jian 'an (200 AD), Sun Quan took over the power of Jiangdong. It wasn't until 221 AD that Sun Quan used Liu Bei's attack on Wu as an excuse to establish his own army, the Army of Reliance.
In these twenty years, other than the private troops left behind by his father and brother, Sun Quan had never had a direct army. Most of the military power was in the hands of the generals and aristocratic families. The military system of Dong Wu was hereditary.
It wasn't easy for Sun Quan to be able to stabilize his position as the ruler of River East in such a terrible situation. He had to balance, win over, suppress, and deal with everything.
Just in terms of political skills, Sun Quan was definitely a top-notch existence.
There was a reason why Sun Quan treated meritorious officials so harshly. The bottom determined the head. If he didn't treat them harshly, how could he take back his military power?
The feeling of being an empty commander for 20 years was quite uncomfortable.
Sun Quan: Is it easy for me? Call me Sun Shiwan every day!
"Don't worry, General. I haven't finished my words.”
Zhang Zhao interrupted.
"Duke Zhang, please speak."
Everyone quickly quieted down.
"Forcefully attacking Pill Sun County is the worst option. Since Yuan Shu was able to surprise attack Pill Sun County and successfully occupy it, he naturally made full preparations. Even if we can conquer Pill Sun County, I'm afraid we will have to pay a high price.”
Hearing this, everyone understood what Zhang Zhao meant. Yuan Shu had many more soldiers than them.
"Does Duke Zhang have a better plan?"
Sun Ce asked expectantly.
"Hehe, there aren't so many top strategies, but there are still middle strategies.”
Zhang Zhao shook his head and laughed. He wasn't a god, so how could he have so many god hands?
"I'm willing to hear the details."
"Ignore Pill Sun County and push back the Jing State Army! Yuan Shu's foundation was in Jiangbei. As long as Yuzhang was preserved, Danyang would not be able to survive alone! We can take it back sooner or later."
Zhang Zhao's plan was like pulling firewood from under the cauldron. If Yuzhang couldn't help Danyang, then Danyang on the south bank of the Yangtze River would be a piece of land for Yuan Shu.
