How audacious!
This was Sun Jian's evaluation of Baili Ming's lightning tactic.
Other than daring, he could not find any other words to describe this strategy.
But at the same time, he had to be sure that this strategy was very feasible!
This was because the entire strategy was based on understanding and predicting the enemy.
And this kind of understanding and prediction happened to be Baili Ming's strength.
Ever since he became the military advisor, Baili Ming's predictions had never been wrong.
This time, Sun Jian did not hesitate and followed Baili Ming's plan to gather 40,000 soldiers and three months 'worth of rations.
After all, this battle was a blitzkrieg.
However, there was a certain risk involved in the process.
Thus, he had to bring more provisions.
Baili Ming had explained to Sun Jian the reason why he had sent out 40,000 troops.
Firstly, it was for the sake of defense.
Right now, Sun Jian's army had around 100,000 soldiers.
30,000 of them were defending Jiujiang.
After Sun Jian took away 40,000 people, Lujiang would only have 20,000 people left.
In this way, the pressure on the defense would increase greatly, and they could no longer transfer troops.
As for the second point, this battle was not a siege battle, but a battle of the situation. There was no need for too many troops.
As long as he performed the first move well in the early stages.
Then, regardless of whether it was Wu County or Kuaiji, he could just cut it down with a swing of his knife!
Thus, 40,000 soldiers was a result of careful consideration.
Because it was a lightning attack, Zhao Yun's cavalry had to be brought along as well for long-distance raids.
Thus, after a few days of preparation, Sun Jian gathered 40,000 cavalry archers, with Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zu Mao, Sun Ben, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai as generals.
Baili Ming was still the military advisor and Wang Can was the assistant.
He pushed the grain out of Shu County and headed towards the river bank.
The main group traveled for several days and finally arrived at the river bank.
At this moment, looking from afar across the Yangtze River, a navy was also heading towards the west bank of the Yangtze River!
......
Lujiang County, Xiang 'an County.
Above the vast Yangtze River, a mist filled the air.
Another morning, Sun Jian brought Baili Ming and Sun Ce to the bank of the Yangtze River.
On the vast Yangtze River, a large number of boats had already appeared in the fog!
"He's here!"
When Sun Ce saw the ship slowly approaching from afar, he smiled at Sun Jian and Baili Ming,"
"Father, Sir, Gongjin is here!”
After saying that, he ran to the riverside and shouted happily,
"Is Gongjin coming?"
As he shouted, he listened carefully to the other party's response.
Behind him, Sun Jian and Baili Ming couldn't help but smile at his excited expression.
Not to mention anything else, at least from this, it could be seen that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's relationship was really strong!
When Sun Jian saw this, he sighed with emotion.
"After the Yellow Turban uprising, I spent less time with Ce 'er and more time apart.”
"I usually write letters, so I know the name Zhou Yu!”
"I thought he was just a normal friend of Ce 'er, but now that I see him like this, he seems happier than meeting his own brother."
"This can be considered my negligence as a father!”
"As a father, I'm really ashamed that I don't even know this!”
"Ruo Zhong, do you think that I am not doing well as a father…"
Standing beside Sun Jian, Baili Ming couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
He and Sun Jian could be considered friends regardless of age.
Because of their special identities, the two of them would naturally talk about their hearts other than important matters of war.
The more they chatted, the more they understood each other.
The deeper he understood, the more he could understand.
Other than having a bad temper, Sun Jian was also a man of steel and tenderness.
At this moment, these words could be considered to have come from the heart.
When he heard Sun Jian ask him this question, he turned his head and asked,"
"My lord, do you want to hear the truth or lies?”
"Is there a difference?"
Sun Jian turned his head when he heard that.
"Of course there's a difference!"
Hearing this, Baili Ming explained seriously,"
"The truth comes from the bottom of my heart, and the lies follow my lord's heart. With my understanding of my lord, the truth and lies can be justified!”
Sun Jian smiled and said,"
"Then the truth?"
"If it's the truth…"
As Baili Ming spoke, he turned his head and said,
"Then it's really not good!"
"Hahaha…!"
Sun Jian burst into laughter when he heard that. Then, his fist landed on Baili Ming's shoulder and hammered it twice. At the same time, he laughed and scolded,
"You brat, you're really evil!”
However, Baili Ming smiled bitterly and said,
"Didn't you tell me to tell the truth?”
"Hahahaha…"
Seeing Baili Ming like this, Sun Jian couldn't help but smile. He was extremely happy.
After laughing for a while, he finally stopped laughing and sighed,
"Among everyone, I still like talking to you the most. You don't beat around the bush!”
Then, he asked,
"Speaking of which, I have a question to ask you!”
"Oh? Please ask!"
Baili Ming laughed.
Sun Jian listened and hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice,"
"I just want to ask, how did Ruo Zhong know about this Zhou Gongjin?”
"Logically speaking, you're from Yanzhou. How can you be so familiar with the local customs?”
Upon hearing this, Baili Ming smiled proudly and said,"
"If I say it's talent, would my lord believe me?”
"This…"
Sun Jian was stunned when he heard that, but he smiled and imitated Baili Ming's words,"
"I don't believe you, you little rascal!”
Then, he smiled and said,
"Forget it, since you don't want to say, I won't ask anymore. Let's go. That Zhou kid is here.”
Then, he walked towards the shore.
When Baili Ming heard this, he quickly looked towards the shore and realized that while they were talking, Zhou Yu's navy had already reached the shore.
At this moment, a handsome young man who was about the same height as Sun Ce was walking in their direction.
Seeing this, he also hurried forward.
Soon, Sun Ce brought Zhou Yu to Sun Jian.
After Sun Ce whispered a few words into his ear, Zhou Yu's handsome face revealed a look of excitement. He hurriedly came to Sun Jian and knelt on one knee, cupping his hands.
"My nephew Zhou Yu greets Uncle Sun!”
After saying that, his other knee touched the ground and he kowtowed three times to Sun Jian.
When Sun Jian saw this, he hurriedly went forward to support him and said,
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't do that. Gongjin, please get up!”
Zhou Yu stood up and smiled."
"Naturally. Uncle doesn't know that I am Bofu's sworn friend. Meeting you is like meeting my own father, so I have to give you this bow!”
"Good boy!"
When Sun Jian heard this, he immediately had a good impression of Zhou Yu. He immediately laughed and said,"
"No wonder Bofu often tells me about you. You're indeed a young hero!”
From his words, it was obvious that he agreed with Zhou Yu's words.
At this moment, Sun Ce had already caught up. Seeing that Zhou Yu had finished paying respects to Sun Jian, he patted his shoulder and pointed at Baili Ming,"
"Gongjin, after paying respects to my father, I still have to pay my respects to Teacher!”
"Sir?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, his gaze immediately shifted to Baili Ming. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly went forward to say,"
"Could Mister be that Baili Ruozhong?”
Ah, this...
This damned sense of déjà vu!
When Baili Ming saw this, he recalled the first time he met Sun Ce.
Logically speaking, Zhou Yu's personality was broad and broad. He should not be like Sun Ce!
After making up his mind, he smiled and said,
"What, Gongjin also knows me?"
However, just as he finished speaking, Zhou Yu revealed a respectful expression and said,"
"I've long heard of Mister's name, so how can I not meet you? Today, I see that Mister is indeed graceful!”
"I heard that Bo Fu has been taught by you and treats you like a teacher. As Bo Fu's younger brother, I naturally have to treat you like a disciple!”
"Sir, please accept my bow!"
As he finished speaking, he hugged the air and bowed to Baili Mingchang.
Seeing this, Baili Ming hurriedly supported him and said,
"Gongjin, don't do this. How can you do this?”
But this time, Zhou Yu was helped up and said honestly,"
"I know that you have a beautiful stomach and are proficient in strategy and military arts. I have heard many of your deeds in the past and am deeply envious of you!”
"Although I am performing this ceremony today, although it is because of Bo Fu, it is from my heart. I hope Mister will not refuse!”
Sun Ce watched from the side and smiled,"
"Sir, just accept it. Gong Jin is different from me. Before we met, he already admired Sir's strategy and military strategy. Now that I've seen him, it's only right!”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Baili Ming glared at him.
The meaning of this glance was self-evident.
Look at him, then look at you!
They were all of the same age, so why was the gap so big?
However, after he glared at Zhou Yu, Baili Ming couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
Zhou Gongjin was such a good young man, how could he be so slandered by Old Luo!
It really shouldn't be!
From their first meeting, one could tell that Zhou Yu was not only magnanimous but also humble.
Coupled with this figure and appearance, it was simply a perfect character!
No matter what, now that Zhou Yu had joined, he was definitely a strong reinforcement for Sun Jianjun!
