Attacking Danyang might not necessarily be able to take it down, and Yuzhang would also be lost.
Supporting Yuzhang could stop the losses in time and ensure that Yuzhang was safe, and it could also lay the foundation for recovering Danyang in the future.
Sun Ce quickly figured out the crux of the matter.
"Good! We'll follow Zhang Gong's plan."
"Generals, listen up!"
"I'm here!"
"Order Han Dang and Zu Mao to lead 20,000 troops to stay in Wu County. The rest of you will follow me to Yuzhang to support Gongjin.”
Sun Ce ordered.
"Understood!"
"Immediately gather the scattered troops of Danyang and then gather the troops of Kuaiji.”
Wu County already had 10,000 soldiers, so Sun Ce only needed to allocate another 10,000.
In addition to the defeated troops in Danyang and the defending troops in Kuaiji, Sun Ce still had 40,000 soldiers.
"Yuan Shu's navy failed to stop us. They might turn around and surround Gongjin. Gongjin might be in danger under the pincer attack.”
Sun Ce began to worry about Zhou Yu's safety.
The Yangtze River was only so big. There were enemies in front and behind, so there was nowhere to run.
"Jiang Qin!"
"I'm here."
"Lead all the navy to the upstream to support Gong Jin. You must bring him back safely.”
"Here! This general has long wanted to fight!"
Sun Ce had previously arranged for Jiang Qin to stay in Qua. Now that Sun Ce had sent him out, his fighting spirit was also soaring.
Sun Ce only had 20,000 soldiers left.
"Cheng Pu, Huang Gai."
"I'm here."
"The two of you immediately lead twenty thousand soldiers to Yuzhang by land.”
"Here!"
"My lord, what should we do then?"
Taishi Ci asked unhappily.
Taishi Ci was originally Liu Yao's subordinate. After Liu Yao passed away, Hua Xin took over the power. Hua Xin directly voted for him, and Taishi Ci followed Sun Ce.
The two of them had fought before. Sun Ce and Taishi Ci had fought to a draw, so Taishi Ci was not very convinced.
"There are still 3,000 troops! Let's give Yuan Shujun a surprise together.”
Sun Ce had already regained his confidence as the little tyrant of River East.

Yuzhang.
"Do you know how to fight? 20,000 can't beat 5,000? Why don't you go to hell!"
Cai Mao cursed at Huang Zu.
This time, the Jing State had dispatched fifty thousand troops.
Cai Mao and Huang Zu led 50,000 men to conquer Pengze in Yuzhang. Then, they used Pengze as a stronghold to slowly expand and occupy the entire county of Yuzhang.
However, Zhou Yu quickly arrived with 5,000 navy troops. The two of them discussed for a while and decided that Huang Zu would lead 20,000 navy troops to annihilate Zhou Yu.
He had never thought that Ancestor Huang would suffer three consecutive defeats. Although there were not many casualties each time, he had already lost nearly ten thousand people.
"Stop standing there and talking! If you can do it, go!"
Ancestor Huang retorted.
Both of them were from powerful families in Jingzhou. Cai Mao was in charge of the navy in Xiangyang, and Huang Zu was in charge of the navy in Jiangxia, so there was no problem of hierarchy.
"Good, good, good! Let's not argue, let's not argue. The most important thing now is to solve the problem.”
Cai Mao also knew that Huang Zu couldn't be blamed. It was just that the kid opposite him was too abnormal.
Zhou Yu relied on the agility of the ship to continuously harass the Jing State army, which was extremely annoying.
The Jing State Army sent a navy to pursue him, and Zhou Yu hid in the river in Yuzhang.
The big ships of Jing State could not enter the river, so they could only send small boats to chase after them.
Small boats beat small boats, and then Huang Zu's sh * t was beaten out. The two of them were not on the same level. Their intelligence was suppressed, and their dimensions were reduced.
"F * ck him, Nanchang isn't going to fight anymore! We'll be nailed to Pengze and not go anywhere! I don't believe that little brat dares to attack the city!”
Huang Zu was also a little headstrong as he said angrily.
Cai Mao was just about to retort when his eyes lit up.
"Wonderful! Brilliant plan!"
"Instant kill!"
Huang Zu thought Cai Mao was mocking him.
"Old Huang, I'm not mocking you, I'm serious!”
Cai Mao hurriedly said.
"Hmm? You mean…"
"We'll guard Pengze and guard the Chaisang at the mouth of the lake. Then, we'll transfer troops from Jingzhou! Build a water village at Poyang Lake!"
Cai Mao told Huang Zu his thoughts.
"Hey! This method was really f * cking stupid! Hahaha!"
Ancestor Huang was amused as he spoke.
A stupid method did not mean that it was a bad method. As long as it was a method, it would be useful. It depended on how it was used.
"Although he's a little stupid, he's safe! We can slowly grind Yuzhang down.”
Cai Mao said.
"Alright! We'll do as you say! There are not many places in Jingzhou where we can use troops. Zhang Xiu is blocking the north, and Liu Zhang is fighting with Zhang Lu in the west!
I don't believe we can't take down Yuzhang in the east!”
Ancestor Huang gritted his teeth.
After seeing how difficult Zhou Yu was to deal with, Huang Zu was even more determined to invade River East. After all, he was the one who killed Sun Jian.
If Sun Ce became powerful, he would definitely seek revenge.
Therefore, when Cai Mao approached Huang Zu, Huang Zu immediately agreed to persuade Liu Biao to send troops to Yuzhang.
Liu Biao's three subordinates, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Huang Zu, all persuaded him to fight, and Liu Biao readily agreed.
By the time Yuan Yao's navy arrived, Cai Mao and Huang Zu were already holed up in Pengze City, missing the opportunity to pincer Zhou Yu.
Both sides were allies, so they quickly gathered and exchanged information.
"Sigh, you've already taken Pill Sun, but we're still stuck in Pengze, unable to advance. You must lend us a helping hand!”
When Cai Mao heard that Yuan Yao had already taken down Pill Sun County, he was simply about to die of jealousy.
"Generals, don't worry. I'm just the vanguard. After the Crown Prince took down Pill Sun, he sent me to help him.”
"Good, good, good! The descendants of a famous family, four generations and three dukes, indeed lived up to their reputation.”
Cai Mao hurriedly praised.
If Old Yuan did not declare himself emperor on a whim, but instead took things slowly and steadily, he would definitely be the southern version of Yuan Shao.
There would definitely be countless people who would seek refuge with Old Yuan. The Yuan family's name was too big, and it was very useful. It was a golden signboard.
Yuan Shu, A golden signboard? I don't want it! Smashed!
Lianghuai was close to River East. There were so many aristocratic families in River East, but none of them came to seek refuge. It was because they had overstepped their boundaries and proclaimed themselves emperor. Everyone thought that Old Yuan was a retard.
Since their allies had come to support them, they naturally had to entertain them. Before the banquet ended, Sun Ce's 20,000 navy had arrived.
"Hiss! Fortunately, the two of you had retreated into Pengze early. Otherwise, it was hard to say who would have surrounded who!”
The vice commander said with lingering fear.
If Sun Ce's navy caught up to them, they would most likely die on the Yangtze River.
The battle in Yuzhang County was in a stalemate.
