Xu Gong was dead.
In the end, he still couldn't escape his fate.
Xiangyu sighed endlessly. He was not feeling sorry for Xu Gong, but he was lamenting the trajectory of fate.
Now that Sun Ce occupied Wu County and most of Dan Yang County, Dan Yang only left Yuan Yin a few cities.
Sun Ce's next target was Kuaiji Prefecture.
Xiangyu was participating in the military meeting. When he saw the map, he found that everyone was panicking and their expressions were very ugly.
The entire tent fell into a strange atmosphere.
The high mountains in the south of Kuaiji Prefecture could make people feel despair from the bottom of their hearts.
Shu Road was difficult, but it was difficult to climb the sky. The terrain of Wu and Yue could not be underestimated.
Fortunately, they were only attacking the northern region of Kuaiji Prefecture, which was where the county governor Wang Lang gathered his forces.
Therefore, in the autumn of the second year of Xingping, Sun Ce sent troops from Wujun to Kuaiji and arrived at Qiantang County, where he took it as a stronghold and confronted Wang Lang.
Wang Langxian, the governor of Kuaiji County, is famous in the world and has great appeal.
He was a handsome man for a time, loved the people, and had great achievements in Kuaiji.
When Yu Fan, the Duke of Kuaiji, heard that Sun Ce had led 30,000 troops to attack, he did not care about his mourning and came to pay his respects to Wang Lang. He advised,
"Sun Bofu has a large army and Xiang Linyuan who is good at using troops. The Prefect Lord should move to the south of Kuaiji to avoid him.”
"Humph!"
Wang Lang snorted and shouted,"I am a Han official. How can I abandon the city and escape?"”
Yu Fan was convinced by his scholarly pride.
Wang Lang dispatched troops, calmly deployed, and sent troops to occupy the Guling Ferry of Zhejiang River first.
"Who wants to be the vanguard?" Sun Ce asked fearlessly.”
Xiangyu looked at the terrain and felt that it was a thankless task, so he remained silent.
On the other hand, Huang Gai's ambition was burning, and he said in a deep voice,""I am willing to obtain the first victory for my lord."
"Good." Sun Ce said gratefully.
Huang Gai led his troops across the river and was ambushed by Zhou Xin, the general of Guling, halfway across the river.
Zhou Xin was originally appointed by the imperial court as the prefect of Danyang, but he was expelled by Wu Jing, the prefect appointed by Yuan Shu. Later, Liu Yao took office and drove Wu Jing to Liyang, and Zhou Shang became the prefect of Danyang.
After Sun Ce drove away Liu Yao, the prefect of Danyang was replaced by Yuan Yin.
This was a chaotic world where the dukes fought.
Zhou Xin's teacher was Chen Fan, the tutor. He was well-read and knew the wind. Because he did not want to harm the people, he gave up fighting with Wu Jing and returned to his hometown in Kuaiji to rely on Wang Lang.
He hated war, hated traitors.
Now that Wu Jing's nephew, Sun Ce, had invaded Kuaiji, Zhou Xin was filled with hatred. This was forcing him into a desperate situation.
He led the army to attack Huang Gai's vanguard and shouted,"
"Release the arrows!"
The bowstring sounded and countless arrows shot towards the Yellow Gai Tribe like countless ink dots.
"Raise your shields!"
Huang Gai growled and hid under the shield.
Wave after wave of arrows rained down, and screams of pain could be heard without end.
After fighting for an hour, Huang Gai returned with a heavy loss and asked for forgiveness from Sun Ce.
"Victory and defeat are common in the military." Sun Ce consoled.
After Huang Gai finished adjusting, he launched another night attack and quietly crossed the river.
He didn't expect to be surrounded by Zhou Xin after entering the empty camp.
"Come and fight!" Huang Gai held the iron whip in his hand and fiercely whipped it down, killing a bloody path as he escaped.
The pursuers behind him were surging. Fortunately, a horn sounded and a strange army attacked.
They were Cheng Pu's reinforcements!
The two sides fought for half a night, and each of them withdrew their troops.
Zhou Xin and Wang Lang held the city and resisted Sun Ce's army in Guling.
Sun Ce crossed the river several times, but could not win.
"Lin Yuan, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?”Sun Ce was annoyed because winter was coming.
"The enemy will defend by relying on the dangerous terrain and be on guard at all times. If they attack forcefully, they will definitely suffer heavy losses and will not be able to take it down in a short period of time.”
"Why don't we go upstream and find a new ferry?”
Xiang Yu did not suggest fighting to the death at the front line of Guling, so Wang Lang's army was obviously on guard.
This reminded Sun Ce that Fuchun County was his hometown.
However, he had followed Sun Jian since he was young and rarely stayed in Fuchun County, so he didn't know much about the local terrain.
Sun Ce could only send someone to invite his uncle, Sun Jing.
The Zhejiang River is the Qiantang River, and the upper reaches are also called Fuchun River, which is the same basin.
After receiving the news, Sun Jing rushed to Qiantang County to meet Sun Ce.
He went straight to the point." There is indeed a ferry in the upper reaches of the Zhe River. The people call it Chadu. Bo Fu can avoid the enemy's attack, around to the rear of Guling, pincer attack from both sides.”
Sun Ce was sweating profusely. He actually didn't know and almost missed the opportunity.
Coinciding with the recent torrential rain, the river water was dirty. Sun Ce arranged for a team to filter the river water for the entire army to drink, using this to confuse Zhou Xin.
Sun Ce's army collected a large number of wooden barrels, and every day, they would turn them around by the river. At night, they would even light a bonfire, and the shore would be brightly lit.
Secretly, Sun Ce had ordered Xiang Yu to lead the Huaishui Battalion to set off at night, bypassing Guling and heading straight for Chadu, crossing the river at lightning speed.
By the time Zhou Xin reacted, Xiang Yu had already conquered the stronghold of Gaoqian Tun and led his army to Guling.
Zhou Xin's heart trembled as he was enveloped by a terrifying aura.
