Chapter 243 Lu Su Returns to Wu

"The Lord, the north gate is on guard, and the guards have suffered heavy losses. Please make a decision." A messenger ran over and said.

"What?" Even if Zhou Yu had been prepared for a long time, he was still shocked. The pro-guards were the elite specially selected by Sun Ce. Now he has suffered heavy losses. Even Zhou Yu has to be cautious.

"Wow!" Sun Ce exhaled deeply. At this time, when he heard that the guards had suffered heavy losses, Sun Ce finally calmed down. Even the guards had suffered heavy losses, let alone anything else. If he attacked like this for three days, it would be useless to capture Jiangxia City.

Sun Ce turned his head and looked at Lu Su. Lu Su was right. If he insisted on attacking the hinterland of Jingzhou yesterday, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left in Jiangxia may be completely annihilated by the Flying Dragon Army. At that time, there will be strong enemies and pursuers, and he may follow in his father's footsteps.

"Do you have a good idea, sir?" Sun Ce looked at Lu Su and asked.

"Jiangxia has Wenpin. Even if he takes Xiakou and Xiling, it is useless. Liu Qi in Xiangyang only needs to control 20,000 water troops to support Jiangxia. At that time, even if the Marquis of Wu has 100,000 soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to take care of each other. Wuhou, you'd better withdraw your troops as soon as possible. Lu Su said helplessly that Wen Ping's talent was far beyond his expectations. It was indeed extraordinary that such an unhurry command could block the Jiangdong army outside the city.

"Ha ha, you're right. Now we can't even take down a small Jiangxia county and talk about attacking Jingzhou. For today's plan, we have to retreat and return to Jiangdong. According to what you said, develop the power first. When Jiangdong stands in the world, it will be the day to conquer Jingzhou alone." Sun Ce said with a serious face. This lesson completely made him understand that Jiangdong was not Jingzhou's opponent at this time, and he could only expand his power if he wanted revenge.

"Wu Hou Yingming!" Lu Su was stunned for a long time before he realized. When did the stubborn Sun Ce become so easy to give up? The agreed three days were only the first day. Even if he suffered some setbacks, he would not give up immediately. The difference between Sun Ce was so big that he couldn't believe it.

"You should also remember today's shame. After returning to Jiangdong, you should try your best to expand your power for Jiangdong, and he will attack Jingzhou with me again." Sun Ce turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu and other people beside him.

"No." Although Zhou Yu and others felt that Sun Ce was different from just now, they were also happy for Sun Ce's transformation.

"Retired." Sun Ce shouted at the crowd with no expression on his face.

The sound of gold resounded all around, and soon the soldiers who were attacking the city retreated. Half an hour later, the other three Han Dang and others also rushed back one after another.

At this time, in the camp, Sun Ce drove everyone out of the big tent. He sat alone at the table. On the table was the sword of his father Sun Jian. He would bring this sword with him every time he went on an expedition, and this time there was no exception.

Sun Ce is still Sun Ce. He hasn't changed. He just becomes more mature and better at tolerant. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the river, and it doesn't make any sense from beginning to end.

From Liu Qi's entry into Jiangdong to his own attack on Jingzhou, everything seemed to be in Liu Qi's calculation. He felt extremely aggrieved. He had never encountered such a situation. Even when his father died in battle, he was not as embarrassed as today. 100,000 soldiers and horses came, but the result was It's a embarrassment.

If yesterday made him understand that he was a prince, then today's thing made him understand how to be a prince. Which is more important, the revenge of Jingzhou or the development of Jiangdong? He finally has the answer. If he doesn't develop his strength as trembling as he once returned to Jiangdong again, I'm afraid he won't be able to take revenge in his life.

If you want revenge, you must completely crush Jingzhou in terms of strength, otherwise you will never take revenge.

"Come in." Sun Ce put away the sight on the table and looked outside the door.

"Lord." Zhou Yu and others were relieved to hear Sun Ce's words and hurried into the big account.

"Today, the army will rest and send someone to send Ling Cao from Xiakou and Taishi Ci from Xiling back, and withdraw early tomorrow morning." Sun Ce looked at the crowd.

"No." Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Sun Ce really planned to withdraw from the army.

"Mr.'s words are like enlightenment. He woke up Bo Fu. Now Jiangdong is trapped in a place and asks him to help me." Before everyone could speak, Sun Ce had already got up and looked at Lu Su and bowed.

"Please help me, Jiangdong!" Seeing this, everyone also bowed to Lu Su.

"This..." Lu Su was a little helpless. He saw Sun Ce's performance, but Sun Ce pressed hatred in his heart but did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse. If the hatred was suppressed for too long, Sun Ce would inevitably do something irrational.

"Zi Jing, don't hesitate any more. Jiangdong needs your help now." Seeing that Lu Su hesitated, Zhou Yu quickly persuaded that Lu Su was suitable for planning the future for Jiangdong, which was equivalent to lighting a guiding light for Jiangdong. Zhou Yu did not want Jiangdong to miss talents.

"I have met the lord." Seeing that Zhou Yu is so Lu Su no longer hesitates, it is indeed the most appropriate for him to stay in Jiangdong now.

"Okay, Zijing's official position will be made after returning to Wu County. I hope Zijing won't be surprised." Sun Ce was immediately overjoyed. At present, Jiangdong lacks a person who plans the layout. At present, Jiangdong is like a headless fly and doesn't know where to go.

"How dare you." Lu Su bowed and said.

"What do you think Jiangdong should do now?" Sun Ce looked at Lu Sudao.

"Lord, now the situation in the north is becoming more and more tense. It is a good time for Jiangdong to develop outward. If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are fighting, Jiangdong will send troops to Runan. As long as he occupies Runan, he can attack, retreat and defend, and Jiangdong can develop out at any time. The power of Jiangdong spans the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the power will expand rapidly in a short time. Lu Su thought for a moment and said that now in the northeast of the Yangtze River, Cao Cao looks across the river and wants to extend the power of Jiangdong to Jiangbei. Only by taking this opportunity to extend his power to Jiangbei can he break through Cao Cao's blockade.

"Nowadays, although Jingzhou and Yangzhou are evenly matched, they are too far from Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north. In this decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the winner will definitely dominate the northern forces and multiply, and Jiangdong can only gain a certain advantage by uniting with Jingzhou. Jiangdong is different from Jingzhou. The current power of Jingzhou has crossed the north and south of the Yangtze River. As long as Liu Qi in Jingzhou calms down, he will definitely turn his eyes to Jiangbei or Yizhou. The rise of Jingzhou is already unstoppable. If the lord does not take advantage of the situation to keep up, I'm afraid that Jingzhou will leave Jiangdong far behind in a few years. Lu Su took a deep look at Sun Cedao.

Hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Ce's eyes condensed, and his eyes flickered, and even his hands couldn't help clenching together. If the power of Jingzhou surpasses Jiangdong, there will be no chance of revenge in this life.

"Don't worry, Jiangdong will definitely take down Runan this time, and even Jiaozhou in the south can't let go." Sun Ce suddenly said.

"Ha ha, the lord's plan is good. Jiaozhou is close to Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Once Jiaozhou is taken, he can surround Jingzhou. At that time, even if Jiangdong does not send troops to garrison, Jingzhou does not dare to be presumptuous." Zhou Yu laughed and said that in fact, he had long wanted to persuade Sun Ce to attack Jiaozhou, but Jiangdong had just calmed down and needed to rest.

"Yes, it is indeed a good choice to attack Jiaozhou, but at present, the lord's eyes should focus on Runan. Jiaozhou is located in the far south and can be collected at any time, but Runan only has this opportunity. I hope the lord will not miss it." Lu Su nodded.

"Don't worry, Zijing. The land of Jiaozhou is still calm at present. As for the possibility that Runan has not been let go this time." Sun Ce regained his confident look.

......................................................................

Above the city tower of Jiangxia, Wen Ping looked at the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and his heart became more and more confused. Why did Sun Ce order a retreat less than two hours after the beginning of the attack? At the beginning, Wen Ping thought it was Sun Ce's conspiracy, but Wen Ping waited for nearly an hour on the city tower and the Jiangdong army still did not appear.

At this time, Wen Ping was sure that the Jiangdong army was really retreating. Wen Ping still didn't understand why Sun Ce did this. He shook his head and ordered the soldiers to be on guard. He went down the tower and wanted to go to the Taishou Mansion.

Just now, when the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong attacked the city, two soldiers and horses left. Wen Ping sent someone to inform Zhuge Liang about this matter. He wanted to know what the two soldiers and horses had done.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, Wen Ping saw Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng coming in a hurry.

"See the general." Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng hurriedly saluted when they saw Wen Ping.

"Why did you two get together?" Wen Ping asked.

"General, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses suddenly attacked the north gate just now, and the last general was ordered by the military division to go for reinforcements." Chen Sheng bowed.

"How many soldiers and horses in Jiangdong attacked the North Gate?" Wen Pingdao.

"There are 5,000 soldiers and horses." Zhang Hudao.

"Five thousand soldiers?" Wenpin suddenly realized that no wonder the two soldiers and horses would suddenly leave. It turned out that they wanted to sneak up on the north gate.

When the three walked into the Taishou Mansion, they saw that Zhuge Liang had been greeted out. Just now, the three of them stayed in front of the Taishou Mansion. Someone had already reported the matter to Zhuge Liang.

"The three generals have worked hard." Zhuge Liang arched his hand.

"Haha, it seems that the military division has known it for a long time." Wen Ping laughed and said that Zhuge Liang had been coming to Jiangxia for more than ten days, and in these more than ten days, Zhuge Liang had taken over Jiangxia's government affairs. Naturally, the news of Jiangdong's retreat could not be concealed from Zhuge Liang.

"Yes, I just don't know why Jiangdong suddenly retreated. Sun Ce Gangqiang will definitely not give up attacking Jiangxia because of a little setback." Zhuge Liang frowned and said.

"Yes, Jiangdong is indeed too weird this time. Sun Ce's personality actually chose to withdraw after losing nearly a thousand soldiers, which is too different from Sun Ce's personality, and why didn't Sun Ce's people resist?" Wen Ping also frowned. He originally asked Zhuge Liang to discuss it, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang did not know about it.

Since Zhuge Liang didn't know, Sun Ce's sudden withdrawal would certainly not be because of Feilongwei, which made Wen Ping even more confused.
