Chapter 263 Countermeasures
"At the beginning, I led thousands of soldiers and horses into Jiangdong, and there were only a few generals around me, but I was still able to overcome many difficulties and unify Jiangdong. During this period, the difficulties encountered were more dangerous than today. At that time, the military strength at that time was even more different than now. However, we still did not flinch and defeated the strong enemy to survive. Now I, Jiangdong, have hundreds of thousands of heroes, and there are people who have made suggestions to attack the city and pull out the fortress. How can it be difficult for a small difficulty?
Sun Ce stood proudly, holding a long sword in his hand, walking calmly, and talking in the big tent. Just a few words aroused the blood in everyone's hearts. Everyone crawled out of the sea of corpses. Just now, he was just feeling pressure for the reputation of the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army, and worried about Sun Ce's safety, so he was willing to give up. At this time, after Sun Ce said, they were like rushing chicken blood, with high fighting spirit.
"Haha, the master is right. How about the Flying Dragon Army? How about the Flying Tiger Army? It's just a living person. We are not even afraid of the dead. There are no 10,000 or 8,000 people who have died in my hands over the years. The injured blood has long been endless, and we don't care about more lives.
Zhou Tai suddenly shouted loudly, with a wild smile on his face. The worries on his face just now had disappeared without a trace.
"That's right. It's just a few more lives in hand. At worst, there is a way back to Jiangdong." Tai Shici also laughed at this time.
"Okay, then let's kill a bloody road and go back to Jiangdong. I'd like to see if Jingzhou's soldiers can hold my halberd. Sun Ce laughed.
"Ha ha, the hero of the lord is really enviable. If it weren't for the fact that he could not kill, he would want to go to the battlefield with the lord for a while." Lu Su also stood up and laughed. Speaking of which, he really envied Sun Ce and others. If it hadn't been for his filial piety, he would have wanted to kill him with a long sword.
"Haha, Zijing said it well." Zhang Wei laughed. Lu Su looked weak and could say such words, which really surprised him.
"Oh, does Zijing have any good strategy?" Zhou Yu's eyes flashed and he laughed. He and Lu Su are classmates. They have known each other for several years and know Lu Su very well. If Lu Su had no way, he would never be so calm.
"Ha ha, there is no good strategy, but there is indeed a bad strategy." Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile.
"Haha, I said that there is no way out. If you have any good strategy, please tell us so that we can rest assured." Hearing that Lu Su had a way, Han Dangdang immediately changed his name for Lu Su.
"Ha ha, if you want to return to Jiangdong, you don't have to get rid of the entanglement between the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army. You just need to let them have no opportunity, and they will naturally retreat. However, I'm afraid Chai Sang can't get it back. Lu Su shook his head. Chai Sang was guarded by the Flying Tiger Army. Unless Wang Wei made any fatal mistake, it would be impossible to take back Chai Sang at all.
"Oh, how can the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army not find a flaw? You should know that Wen Ping is famous for his vicious eyes. It's not a simple thing to retreat safely under his eyes, and Jiangxia's Zhuge Liang doesn't know what he is. If he had made arrangements, wouldn't it be even worse? "
Zhou Yu thought for a moment. In the past few days, he thought over and over again. No matter how he thought about Jiangdong, he was already dead, and Lu Su still had a way.
"Ha ha, the army does not have to pass through Chaisang in Jiangdong. Although the Yangtze River is separated between Jiangxia and Lujiang, the army can completely find a place where the water flow is relatively slow, and let the Lujiang River prepare ships to pick up. Instead, only one general needs to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to camp by the river and guard the camp gate, and the army can cross the river back to Jiangdong. As for the 20,000 soldiers and horses left, they only need to take advantage of the night to return to Jiangdong. Lu Su said unhurringly that Liu Qi and his people suddenly appeared in Jiangxia at the beginning, which was very similar to today's situation.
"It's better to let the navy come to pick it up. Why let Lujiang prepare again?" Zhang Wei said that the navy is currently on the Yangtze River and not far from Jiangxia, and it is difficult for Lujiang to raise 100,000 troops to return to Jiangdong.
"The navy can't move. Jiangdong is currently near the 20,000 navy near Jiangxia. As long as it resists the 40,000 navy in Jingzhou, it can make the army smoothly withdraw to Jiangdong. Once the navy can't resist, we will really be trapped in Jiangdong." Lu Su shook his head and refused.
Others don't like the water army in Jingzhou, but he will not take it lightly. The person who leads the water army is Gan Ning and Gan Xingba under the command of Liu Qi. Lu Su has heard of the name of Jinfan thief in Jiangdong. At present, I don't know the strength of the water army in Jingzhou, so Lu Su dares not take risks.
"Okay, according to what Zijing said, I will rush to the river tomorrow, carry the water and camp to guard against the soldiers of Jingzhou. I don't believe that this Jingzhou soldiers and horses can still block the Yangtze River." Sun Ce immediately said loudly.
In those years, Han Xin won a great victory. Can't he protect himself?
"Where is Lv Meng?" Sun Ce suddenly shouted at the door.
The curtain was lifted, and Lv Meng, dressed in armor, came in: "Lord."
"You immediately take people back to Jiangdong and ask the governor of the Lujiang River to prepare ships to meet the army. If necessary, you can call the water army stationed along the Yangtze River to guard against Cao Cao." There are more than 20,000 sailors in Jiangdong, and there are more than 30,000 sailors stationed along the Yangtze River alone. In addition to the rest of the navy, the navy in Jiangdong has a full 70,000 people, and its strength is still above the navy in Jingzhou.
"No." Lv Meng immediately took the order and left.
"Zi Gang, how much food and fodder are there in the army?" Seeing Lv Meng leave, Sun Ce suddenly looked at Zhang Yu. He had been trying to get rid of Jingzhou's pursuers, but he actually forgot about it.
"My lord, at present, there are only two days of grain and fodder left in the army. If you save money, you can stick to it for three days." With that, a touch of sadness flashed across Zhang Yu's face.
Two days, that is to say, the army must leave Jiangxia within two days.
"Two days is enough." Two days was enough for the army to withdraw to Jiangdong, and Sun Ce was not worried.
"It's getting late. Let's go back and have a rest. The army will set out for the Yangtze River tomorrow morning." Sun Ce looked at the crowd.
"No." Everyone bowed and saluted and left one after another.
In the big account, there are only Sun Ce, Zhang Yu, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, who clearly have something important to discuss.
"Master, at present, the army withdraws Jiangdong. The most important thing is the water army. If there is any mistake in holding down the 20,000 water army of the Jingzhou water army, at that time, the backwater camp will not only not only not let the army return safely, but also let the army fall into the front and back attack. At that time, it will be dangerous." Seeing everyone leave, Lu Su opened his mouth and said his worries.
"Oh, Ling Cao led the navy to be unbeaten. Gan Ning was just a sailor before. How can he resist Ling Cao?" Sun Ce frowned.
Ling Cao's father and son defected to him. He made great achievements in the battle. He didn't say Ling Tong, the son of Ling Cao, but only talked about Ling Cao. Ling Cao led the navy to break through the enemy's water village every time, kill the enemy's defenders, and never lose. Under the leadership of Ling Cao, the 20,000 navy can't resist Gan Ning?
"Lord, Gan Ning only led 800 people to gallop on the river. Now he has led 40,000 people, and his power is at its best. Although General Ling was brave and extraordinary, General Ling advanced too fast. This time, he rushed to the front. If there was any accident, it would be extremely unfavorable to the army. Lu Su said solemnly.
He is almost sure that Ling Cao is definitely not Gan Ning's opponent. If Ling Cao leads the water army to hold Gan Ning, he may be undefeated, but if Ling Cao really comes forward to fight with Gan Ning, he must be defeated by Ling Cao.
"This..." Sun Ce was a little hesitant. He knew Ling Cao's ability. Although Gan Ning's reputation was loud, he did not think Gan Ning could beat Ling Cao, but what Lu Su said was not unreasonable.
"Lord, the safety of the navy is related to the safety of the army. If you don't send a general to help Ling Cao." Zhou Yu, who was beside him, came forward to persuade him. He was also a little worried that Ling Cao was not Gan Ning's opponent. After all, Gan Ning had been on the river for so long, and then he followed Liu Qi to win consecutive victories, and his reputation had long spread.
"In this case, let General Huang come forward to help Ling." Sun Ce thought for a moment. At present, only Huang Gai in the army is suitable to help Ling Cao. Other generals have been following Sun Ce for a long time, and their status in Jiangdong is above Ling Cao. Now only Huang Gai makes many mistakes and runs him to Ling Cao. Huang Gai will not affect Ling Cao.
"The Lord is wise." All three of them bowed.
As soon as Sun Ce opened his mouth, the three understood what Sun Ce meant and couldn't help nodding secretly. At this time, Ling Cao's leading 20,000 troops could be said to be like an arm waving. If it was a change of general, it would be extremely unfavorable to the army.
"Who do you think should be the main general?" Sun Ce looked at the three people.
Although there is a precedent for the backwater camp, if there is no good general, how can he resist the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army? Although Sun Ce disdains the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army on the surface, he has to be cautious in his heart.
"This..." All three of them are a little hesitant. After all, whoever stays may be in danger one point more, and the safety of the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong is all on this person, and several people have to be cautious.
"Since you don't say it, I'll say it." Sun Ce looked at the three people and said, "Ming Ziyi led 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp, resisting the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army, and let the 5,000 Guards also stay to help Ziyi."
"The Lord is wise." Zhou Yu and the three of them all bowed to salute.
Nowadays, the most suitable person in the camp is Tai Shici, but Tai Shici eventually follows Sun Ce later, and he is not a veteran of Jiangdong. His prestige and status in Jiangdong are not as good as that of last week's Tai and Han.
If this matter is said by several people, it will inevitably make Han Dang and several people unconvinced, so they hesitated one after another. Let Sun Ce say, no one can say anything.
Tai Shici is not only a fierce general, but also a wise general.
