Chapter 518 Ji Ling's Withdrawal

Sun Ce's words made Liu Bei's heart jump wildly. Liu Bei was so excited that he could escape his life, but on the surface he was still calm.

"I don't know what kind of person this hero, my father is?"

"My father is Changsha Taishou, Sun Jian, Sun Wentai."

"It was originally the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Changsha. No wonder Sun Haojie is so brave that he is worthy of being the heir of the Tiger. It's just that if you let me go. After that, Yuan Highway learned that he must be guilty of you. You teach me..."

Liu Bei's vision is constantly changing, and he doesn't know what he is thinking, but before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Sun Ce.

"Liu Xuzhou does not need to worry. Sun has his own moderation. However, there is a secret book here for Mr. Sun. I hope Liu Xuzhou can take a closer look after getting out of danger.

Sun Ce took out a secret letter from his sleeve. Liu Bei originally wanted to pick it up, but Pan Feng was afraid that Sun Ce would take advantage of it for him to get close to Liu Bei, so she hurriedly took the letter from Sun Ce's hand.

Then Liu Bei was about to thank him when suddenly there were bursts of speeding horses' hoofs on the mountain road. Sun Ce was shocked and hurriedly urged.

"It must be Ji Ling's soldiers and horses chasing him. Liu Xuzhou, go back quickly. I led the army to lead them away!"

"Today's kindness, Liu will definitely be rewarded in the future. See you later, General Sun!"

After Sun Ce and Liu Bei nod their heads, they led the troops to retreat quickly and ran to the bottom of the mountain. Soon after, Sun Ce met the coming Ji Ling troops. Sun Ce shouted that there were no big-eared thieves here. Ji Ling's troops all believed Sun Ce's words and withdrew from the mountain with Sun Ce, looking for another mountain.

Liu Bei hid in one place. Seeing that Sun Ce really led the pursuers away for him, he immediately panicked a little. At the same time, he thought that his 30,000 troops were destroyed by Zhou Gongjin's tricks. He thought that he was difficult to save him this time. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce let him live.

Although Liu Bei didn't know what Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were planning, their demeanor couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really a hero who is a teenager. Sun Wentai has such a tiger. He has such a son. What can he ask for? Moreover, Zhou Gongjin's plot was extremely conspiring, and such peerless advisers were actually willing to assist the Sun family. It seems that the Sun family will rise unstoppably in the world in the near future.

Liu Bei sighed silently. He had always hoped that there would be a counselor who could give him a great strategy and win thousands of miles away. It's just that the counselors of this level are not only met but not sought, but also have their own way to choose their own masters. Even if you meet them, if you don't meet the requirements of the Lord in their hearts, even if you put your swords and guns, they will never bow their heads. Just like Chen Deng, Liu Bei took great pains and painstakingly, but Chen Deng is still lull to him.

"In such troubled times, if I can't find peerless advisers, no matter how many fierce and elite soldiers there are, it will be difficult to stand!"

After this battle, Liu Bei's desire to seek a peerless adviser has reached an end. After that, Liu Bei fled all the way under the protection of Pan Feng and hundreds of remaining soldiers, and finally fled back to Guangling County, Xuzhou a few days later. Not long after they escaped, Zhang Fei protected Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others, and also fled back to Guangling. Zhang Fei thought that Liu Bei had been separated or had encountered something wrong, and he had searched for a long time in the battlefield without any results. Seeing that Pan Feng was not seen on the battlefield, Mi Zhu persuaded Zhang Fei, saying that Liu Be sure was rescued by Pan Feng and was able to escape. Maybe he had fled back to Guangling. Zhang Fei is well aware of his second brother Pan Feng's ability. If it is true, as Mi Zhu said, Liu Bei is protected by Pan Feng, and he must be foolproof, so he got out of the siege and rushed back to Guangling.

As for Liu Bei, he had also been worried about the safety of Zhang Fei and others. He met Zhang Fei and others again in Guangling. Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei's safety and couldn't help crying. Zhang Fei's eyes were also red. Naturally, he was moved.

Under Zhou Yu's plan, Ji Ling flooded Liu Bei's 30,000 troops, and his morale was like a rainbow, and he went straight to Guangling. When Liu Bei heard that Ji Ling's army was killed, he hurriedly transferred sergeants from the East China Sea, gathered 20,000 troops, and fought against Ji Ling's 100,000 troops in Huaiyin, Guangling. Huaiyin is the county city of Guangling. It was originally attacked by Cao Ren. With the prestige of Chen's rich family, Chen Deng gathered the rich family of Guangling and made human and financial resources to build Huaiyin City into a solid city. Among them, there are many things to guard the city, such as arrows, boulders and logs.

At the beginning, Chen Deng had no fierce general in his hand, and he could also block Cao Ren's tens of thousands of troops. At this time, in Huaiyin City, there are not only a complete range of guards, but also Pan Feng, Zhang Fei and other fierce generals, and there is more room for Chen Deng to play. Regardless of whether Chen Deng is dedicated to Liu Bei or not, he will help. For Chen Deng, although Yuan Shu has a family background of four generations and three princes and a great power, Yuan Shu is stubborn and does not listen to the words of his counselors. He is extremely arrogant and unbearable than Liu Bei. Naturally, Chen Deng will not let Xuzhou fall into the hands of Yuan Shu.

Chen Deng assisted Liu Bei to guard Huaiyin. Under Chen Deng's deployment, 20,000 soldiers and horses defended the strong attack of Ji Ling's 100,000 troops. Ji Ling couldn't attack, and he lost a lot of soldiers and horses. After a few days of continuous strong attack, although the two urn cities in Huaiyin City were broken, they also paid the price of 20,000 soldiers.

Ji Ling's eyes saw that the loss was huge, and he found Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to ask questions overnight.

In Ji Ling's tent, Ji Ling's face was solemn, and Zhou Yu's eyes were full of expectation.

"Military division, Huaiyin City can't be attacked, and the military strength has been lost in the past few days. If it goes on like this, even if we break through Huaiyin, we will have to pay nearly half of the troops. I don't know if the military division has a plan, but can we break this Huaiyin City?

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and didn't know what he was calculating in his heart.

"General Ji. I heard that the person in charge in Huaiyin City is Chen Yuanlong, a famous scholar in Xuzhou. This man is intelligent and has the ability to command soldiers. At that time, Cao Ren, the general under Cao Cao's command, was also under this man, and there was nothing he could do. Shu Yu is incompetent, but I can't think of a good plan at this time. If you act rashly, I'm afraid it will be used instead.

Ji Ling listened and frowned. He has also heard of Chen Deng's deeds. Zhou Yu is so cautious that it is also exaware.

"If we can't break through Huaiyin, then our army will be blocked here. After a long war, I'm afraid that the army is unstable.

Zhou Yu's bright and deep eyes secretly cast a wink at Sun Ce. Sun Ce understood and made a speech.

"General Ji, Huaiyin is guarded by Chen Yuanlong. It will be difficult to capture it for a while. At present, our army, the strong attack is fruitless, and it consumes a lot of food and fodder every day. In addition, the soldiers are tired of fierce battles. Why don't you retreat back to Huainan for the time being and make a decision after discussing with the lord?

"What General Sun said is reasonable. It's just that if you withdraw your troops in a hurry, you're afraid that the big-eared thief will take advantage of it.

"This is easy. I have my own plan to deal with it. If the big-eared thief dares to chase him, I will teach him to go back!"

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently, and his whole body was full of wisdom. He couldn't help but give people a sense of stability. It seemed that as long as there was this person, any difficult thing could be easily solved.

"Hahahaha! The military division has the wisdom of heaven and earth, and the master can be supplemented by the military division. Don't worry about the great cause!"

Ji Ling's face was overjoyed, and his sadness was reduced a lot.

Subsequently, Ji Ling rested at Zhou Yu's suggestion. The next day, he did not attack the city. At night, Zhou Yu's two soldiers and horses retreated at night. On the next day, Ji Lingling's army began to withdraw.

Ji Ling withdrew his army, and some soldiers came to report to Liu Bei. After hearing this, Zhang Fei looked happy and laughed.

"Hahaha. Pifu couldn't capture Huaiyin and wanted to withdraw his troops. This is the right time to pursue! Brother, give me three thousand to ride and let me have a good time! Come and avenge the past!"

When Liu Bei heard that Ji Ling withdrew his army, he also intended to send troops to cover up. When he was about to open his mouth, Chen Deng, who was beside him, said.

"None. Yesterday, Ji Ling did not attack the city, and the soldiers were able to recover, and on this day, we didn't know what layout he had secretly made. If you attack rashly, you are very vulnerable to ambush.

Chen Deng's words were like a plate of cold water pouring on Zhang Fei's head. Zhang Fei didn't like it, so he shouted.

"How can there be so many tricks! I think you are timid and afraid of things, and you can't miss the opportunity. This is such a great opportunity. If I don't wait to chase and kill, won't it make people all over the world laugh at me for being brave!"

Being reminded by Chen Deng, Liu Bei unconsciously remembered Zhou Yu's beautiful and handsome face and quickly scolded Zhang Fei.

"The third brother must not be rude! What Yuanlong said is reasonable. You have forgotten that there is also Zhou Gongjin in Ji Lingjun. How can such a resourceless person like you know that this person's strategy is so high? If the order goes down, all the ministries will only guard the city, and no one can attack rashly!"

"Brother! Hey!"

Zhang Fei was very angry and stared at Chen Deng fiercely, as if he was saying that Chen Deng had ruined his good deeds.

Outside Huaiyin City, Ji Ling's army gradually withdrew ten miles away. When Zhou Yu saw that there was no movement in Huaiyin, his face was slightly shocked, and then smiled in his heart.

"Ha ha, it seems that Chen Yuanlong is really capable. Well, if Liu Xuzhou's soldiers and horses have too many casualties, it will not have much use value.

Zhou Yu stood calmly for a while, and then returned to the army to prepare for retreat.

A few days later, Ji Ling's army withdrew from Guangling County and rushed back to Huainan. Although Ji Ling did not capture Xuzhou in this expedition, he wiped out nearly 30,000 elite soldiers of Liu Bei in the battle. After this war, Liu Bei's vitality was greatly damaged and there was no threat to Yuan Shu. In this way, Yuan Shu also felt quite relieved. Appreciate Ji Ling, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and other meritorious people. Later Ji Ling reported that the flooding plan still came from Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce's resistance against Zhang Fei and Pan Feng's bravery was also reported in detail. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are very outstanding. With such advisers and generals, Yuan Shu is naturally overjoyed, and he is more and more important to these two people.

Yuan Shu defeated Liu Bei, and the excellent performance of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce made Yuan Shu's ambition more vigorous. One day, Yuan Shu called Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to discuss. Zhou Yu saw that Yuan Shu couldn't wait to be emperor. At this time, the situation was urgent. The court seemed to find that Yuan Shu was eager to be emperor, and suggested that Yuan Shu stabilize the rear as soon as possible.

Yuan Shu felt reasonable and asked Zhou Yu again. Zhou Yu suggested that Yuan Shu should send another 20,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 grain and grass to support Sun Jian to fight against the thieves. In this way, in less than a month, he will be able to stabilize the overall situation in the rear. At this time, Yuan Shu was already convinced of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. At present, there is no doubt that according to Zhou Yu's words, he sent another 20,000 elite soldiers and grain to Sun Jian.

Sun Jianyuan got 30,000 soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu. Later, he got 20,000 soldiers in the battles of Huiji, Jiujiang and Yuzhang. At the same time, he recruited 10,000 new soldiers with the support of major rich families in Jiangdong. At present, he also got 20,000 elite soldiers from Yuan Shu, and his army suddenly soared to 80,000. It is more than twice as much as Sun Jian had a year ago! Of course, 50,000 of these soldiers are Yuan's soldiers, and these soldiers are not all loyal to Sun Jian. Although Sun Jian is powerful, it still needs time to be stable. Otherwise, once he turns against Yuan Shu and these soldiers defect, then Sun Jian will be destroyed!
