Chapter 255 Target Chai Sang

In the big account, the atmosphere was extremely serious. Sun Ce and others looked solemn and silent.

No one expected that Xiangyang's reinforcements would arrive in Jiangxia in such a short time, and there were 40,000 sailors. With these 40,000 water troops, Jiangxia's Jingzhou soldiers and horses are almost comparable to Jiangdong's soldiers and horses. In such a situation, Sun Ce has no confidence to threaten Jingzhou.

Jingzhou's reinforcements surprised everyone, not only because of the sudden arrival of Jingzhou reinforcements, but also because the Jingzhou water army directly broke through the water village of the Jiangdong water army.

In the past, even if Jingzhou sent reinforcements, these reinforcements would have only made a good posture to attack the Jiangdong water army and let the Jiangdong water army withdraw, and would never suddenly attack Jiangdong like today.

The unprecedented strength of Jingzhou has made Sun Ce and others a little lack of confidence. If the grain and grass in Jiangdong have not been burned, Jiangdong may still have the power of a war, but the grain and grass in Jiangdong have been burned out. At this time, the war with Jingzhou is extremely unfavorable to Jiangdong.

For borrowing grain, Sun Ce and others no longer have any hope. Before the arrival of Jingzhou reinforcements, Jiangdong could still force Jingzhou to give in with more pressure, but now how can the two sides lend Jiangdong grain and fodder to Jingzhou?

The attitude of the Jingzhou Water Army surprised Sun Ce and others, as if the coward who had been weak and bullied before suddenly turned into a strong warrior, which made Jiang Dong a little unable to react.

Compared with the puzzlement of Sun Ce and others, a few people, such as Lu Su and Zhou Yu, have felt the change of Jingzhou. Jingzhou has changed, and it is no longer the same Jingzhou who swallowed his anger in the past.

In such a situation, there is no benefit for Jiangdong's army to stay in Jiangxia. Jiangdong's army can't afford to drag. Once the food and fodder in the battalion are exhausted, 100,000 troops are like lambs to be slaughtered, and there is no resistance in front of the flying dragon army in Jingzhou.

Withdrawal is the only choice in Jiangdong!

After the deep thought of Lu Su and others, they finally came up with a solution to the army's food and fodder, that is, to withdraw the 50,000 troops in Jiangdong to the hinterland of Jiangdong, leaving only 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Lujiang River to wait for the change in the north.

Jiangdong may not raise the grain and fodder of 100,000 troops, but the grain and fodder of the 50,000 army can still be raised. As for the 50,000 troops withdrawn, they are scattered in various counties, which is enough to be self-sufficient. As long as the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses persist for ten days and a half a month, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fight, the 50,000 troops can take advantage of the situation to attack Runan County, and then the army's food and fodder problem can be solved.

Although Sun Ce was unwilling, he could only accept the proposal of Lu Su and others to withdraw troops.

The attack on Jingzhou this time has no loss compared with Jiangdong, Jingzhou, except for the food and fodder of 100,000 troops, but it is a shame for Jiangdong.

Jiangdong seemed to make a joke with Jingzhou. First, 100,000 troops invaded Jingzhou and occupied the whole territory of Jingzhou, and then quickly withdrew its troops. After that, it was even more funny to borrow food and fodder from Jingzhou, and even agreed to those shameless requests, but the result was only in exchange for the arrival of Jingzhou reinforcements, and Jiangdong didn't get anything.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce faintly regretted it. If he could have listened to any of the suggestions of Lu Su and Zhou Yu at the beginning, instead of hesitating here, Jiang Dong would not have fallen into such a situation.

Zhou Yu advocated a large-scale attack on Jingzhou and a comprehensive suppression of Jingzhou. After that, whether it was withdrawing troops or sticking to the occupied places, the initiative was all in the hands of Jiangdong. Maybe Jingzhou would seek Jiangdong because of this.

However, Lu Su's suggestion was that after withdrawing troops and accumulating strength, Cao Cao was caught off guard and doubled Jiangdong's power.

Although the two people's suggestions are somewhat polarized, no matter which kind of suggestion they choose, it is feasible for Jiangdong, but Sun Ce chose such suggestions. It is for this reason that Jingzhou has not taken the opportunity to withdraw from the army and has not made a big attack. Otherwise, the Jiangdong army will not be in a dilemma.

Like Sun Ce's feeling, Zhou Yu also had some regrets at this time. He felt that if he hadn't introduced Lu Su to Sun Ce, Jiang Dong would not have been in a dilemma. He is not dissatisfied with Lu Su. On the contrary, he attaches great importance to Lu Su's talent.

But it is this kind of emphasis that puts Jiangdong in a dilemma. If Lu Su can be introduced to Sun Ce after the end of this war, it may play a greater role for Jiangdong.

He introduced Lu Su to Sun Ce on the occasion of his expedition, so that Sun Ce could choose between the two suggestions, which was an extremely difficult thing in itself. And at that time, Jiangdong had attacked Jingzhou according to his suggestion. At this time, it was not a good measure to stop at this time.

Since the situation of the large-scale attack on Jingzhou is good, we should not make concessions in order to try our best to retain Lu Su, so that the Jiangdong army lost its direction.

At this time, Lu Su's face was also pale, and there was still shame in this paleness. After all, he disrupted the layout of Jiangdong. If Jiangdong attacked Jingzhou according to the plan of Zhou Yu and others, even if the grain and fodder in the rear were burned, it would not be enough to make the Jiangdong army advance and retreat.

He thought he had seen the general trend of the world, but because of the influence of the general trend of the world, he ignored the situation in Jiangdong at this time. When he came to the Jiangdong camp, Jiangdong had begun to attack Jiangxia and occupied the whole territory of Jiangxia. At this time, Jiangdong had to shoot an arrow on the string.

And he also does not have the right to make Jiangdong's army withdraw immediately under a good situation. It is precisely this that makes it difficult for Jiangdong to advance and retreat.

"After the announcement, the army will leave in two hours. Everything was abandoned, and the army quickly retreated to Chai Sang. General Zhou led 30,000 troops to open the way forward to prevent a sneak attack, and he followed closely with 30,000 troops. Gong Jin and Ziyi led 20,000 troops to prevent Jingzhou soldiers from chasing. In the plain, with a little chilly voice sounded in the silent tent, and Sun Ce, who was sitting on the throne, finally ordered to retreat.

"No!" Everyone knew that the general trend was gone, and their hearts were also extremely heavy. They didn't say anything with a cold face, and silently retreated to prepare for the retreat of the army.

"The messenger Ling Cao asked him to delay the 40,000 troops in Jingzhou and let Lujiang County prepare to take over the matter at the same time." After a while of silence, Sun Ce opened his mouth and ordered again.

"No!" The sard waiting outside the tent immediately went forward to preach the order.

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

Just as the Jiangdong army was preparing to retreat, Wang Wei, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and Zhao Yun, the commander of Feilongwei, also led their subordinates to rush to Chai Sang as fast as possible. The target of their trip was Chai Sang.

If the Jiangdong army wants to retreat, it must pass through Chaisang. As long as it takes Chaisang, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the Jiangdong army. As for the water army in Jiangdong has been handed over to Gan Ning, the 20,000 navy in Jiangdong can't get rid of it at all in a short time.

As long as Jiangdong's retreat is cut off, they don't need to attack. They only need to stay with Chai Sang for a few days. When the Jiangdong army runs out of food and grass, the Jiangdong army will collapse without fighting.

Last night, Zhuge Liang told his plan to Wang Wei and others. The capture of Chai Sang cut off the retreat of Jiangdong's army, and let Jiangdong lose more than half of the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangxia. This is Zhuge Liang's lesson from Jiangdong.

Wang Wei, who heard Zhuge Liang's belligerent plan, would naturally not shirk and directly took over the task of attacking Chai Sang. There are nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong in Chaisang City, and Huang Gai, a veteran general in Jiangdong, in case Zhuge Liang sends Feilongwei to assist.

Although I think Zhuge Liang has done so much. However, Wang Wei was not disgusted with Zhao Yun. When he was in Xiangyang, Wang Wei was not unfamiliar with Zhao Yun. On the occasion of Liu Qi's wedding that day, he also knew every move in Liu Qi's house, and he also sighed with emotion about Zhao Yun's defeat of Cao Cao's general Xu Chu.

Now that Zhao Yun is assisting him, Wang Wei did not refuse too much, and the Jiangdong army is about to retreat and want to reach Chaisang quickly. Sooner or later, the whereabouts of the Flying Tiger Army will be exposed, and the whereabouts of the Flying Dragon Army will be exposed to the victory of Jingzhou.

Therefore, Wang Wei was not polite and directly handed over the scout figure to Feilongwei, and Zhao Yun did not refuse this. Feilongwei is already good at this. There is a Feilongwei that can well cover up the whereabouts of the Flying Tiger Army, which is also what Zhuge Liang means.

Therefore, although the Flying Tiger Army on the way acted quickly, it did not reveal its whereabouts, while the Jiangdong scouts along the way suffered heavy losses and disappeared one by one.

Of course, Zhuge Liang's plan is not only that. Jiangdong has a 100,000 army. If it is in a hurry, the Jiangdong army will go crazy and take down the Flying Tiger Army, which has no time to react to Chai Sang, is also not the opponent of the Jiangdong Army. Therefore, not long after Wang Wei and others left, the Flying Dragon Army in Jiangxia City also gathered on standby. The two thousand Flying Dragon Army was a knife behind the Jiangdong Army, which made the Jiangdong Army not dare to stop or rush too eagerly.

Zhuge Liang has another intention to do this, that is, to guard against what Sun Ce has done to the people of Jiangxia. Once the Jiangdong army has no way out, it may do something like slaughtering the city. In that case, although Jiangdong will be defeated, Jiangxia will not be much better.

If there is no huge excuse for the slaughter of the city, no one will dare to make it, otherwise the declaration of loss will be extremely unfavorable to the future.

At the same time, Gan Ning also rushed back to the navy. The 40,000 navy directly pressed the Jiangdong navy with the momentum of Mount Tai. Although his task was only to delay the 20,000 navy in Jiangdong, if there was a chance, he would not miss the opportunity to seriously hit the Jiangdong navy.

The 20,000 water troops in Jiangdong have been fighting for years, all of which are the elites of Jiangdong. If they can be hit hard, the value of creating 20,000 soldiers in Jiangdong is much greater. You should know that although Jiangdong has a lot of soldiers and horses, it is Jiangdong's water army that really plays a role in resisting external forces. As long as Jiangdong's navy does not lose, Jiangdong can always resist the enemy. In a short time, Jiangdong Wenruo Taishan, and no one can shake Jiangdong's foundation.

Gan Ning doesn't want to let go of this opportunity.
