Chapter 587 The Opening Curtain

On December [-]th in the fourth year of Taichu, Jiading land boundary.

A slight drizzle fluttered in the sky, nourishing the vegetation in the wilderness of the land. In the wilderness near a hill, a small city was located in the drizzle. Outside the small city, there were also dense camps and military fortresses.

On the flag on the city wall, the general flag with "Sun" is hung.

There are also teams of fierce soldiers patrolling on the city wall, forming an impenetrable line of defense with the surrounding military forts.

In the hall of a mansion in the city.

Many generals took their seats, and from time to time, some generals in armor came quickly from outside, saluted the heroic young men with short beards on their heads, and then sat on the seats on both sides.

"Are they all here?"

The heroic young man at the head is one of the pillars of the Sun family in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. In the original history, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu were known as the little overlords of Jiangdong.

At this time, his eyes were suppressing anger and sadness, and his face was as calm as possible.

The generals on the two sides below are Tai Shici, Jiang Qin, Dong Xi and others, and they are basically his confidant generals selected by himself.

"General, all the generals and schools have arrived, please give instructions to the general!"

General Ling Cao replied.

Ling Cao was the father of general Ling Tong, and also the old man Sun Ce followed when he started in Huainan in the original world. Although his strength was not as good as Tai Shici's, his status in the army was vaguely equal to Tai Shici's.

At this time, he served as Sun Ce's personal guard general, helping Sun Ce handle various military affairs.

Sun Ce nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone must know about the military situation from Suzhou. The Huai army is coming in menacingly with millions of people. Only by gathering all the strength of Soochow can we resist it!"

"Liu Bi is only suffering from scabies, it's nothing serious, I'm planning to integrate the whole army, withdraw immediately!"

His voice was decisive and sharp.

Many generals on both sides had different complexions. Although they felt a little regretful that Liu Bi could not be completely taken down, they could all express their understanding of the current situation in Soochow.

"Tai Shi Ci!"

"The end is here!"

Tai Shici cupped his hands and stood up.

Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "I will lead the main force to go north first, and you will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to break the rear!"

"The last general takes orders!"

As a general and fierce general who cherished Sun Ce's sympathy, Tai Shici naturally obeyed Sun Ce's orders. In the previous battle, Liu Bi could not resist the joint attack of the two of them.

It's just that Liu Bi never fought decisively with them, but fought and retreated, constantly abandoning the city, trying to prolong the grain road of Soochow...

This kind of trick has little effect on the Soochow army.

But the time it took for Sun Ce to pacify Jiading's territory was extended a lot.

Withdrawing troops at this time, even Tai Shici felt a little regretful in his heart, but the military order had been issued, he could only comfort in his heart, after repelling the Huai army, he must ask the lord for orders to attack Jiading again and destroy Liu Bi.

"Other generals and schools, go back and prepare!"

Sun Ce ordered all the generals to return to the barracks, leaving only Tai Shici, Ling Cao, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin behind.

"Ziyi, when you die, you have to be on guard against Liu Bi's troops. The military report from Suzhou mentions that Liu Yu has sent envoys to Huzhou. If Liu Bi goes to Liu Yu, with the help of Liu Song's soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to withdraw our troops!"

Sun Ce said in a deep voice.

"Liu Bi defected to Liu Yu?"

Tai Shici was silent for a while, but he didn't think of this point. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not normal for the clansmen of the Han family to conquer each other, so he fell into a fixed thinking pattern and didn't think of this possibility.

But when Sun Ce said it, he immediately understood.

Liu Bi's ancestor is Liu Bang, and Liu Yu's ancestor is said to be Liu Bang's elder brother...

According to common sense, Liu Yu is only surnamed Liu, not a clan member of the Han family.

But in times of crisis, it is normal for Liu Bi to seek refuge with someone of the same clan with the same surname Liu.

"The general understands! However, judging from the future, even if Liu Bi defected to Liu Yu, Liu Song's soldiers and horses would not threaten our army... The Huai army's millions are in the north. If Liu Yu is the master, he will We will definitely not sit back and watch the Huai army annex Jiangdong!"

Tai Shici said.

Ling Cao also agreed with this point of view, "General Ziyi is right, but it is necessary to be on guard against others, we should take strict precautions!"

Sun Ce didn't say much, but told the four of them the order of withdrawal and the route of withdrawal.

After these things are finished.

Sun Ce's voice suddenly became a little dry, he waved his hands, stopped talking, and let them go down to do things.

The three of Ling Cao saluted and left.

When Tai Shici was about to walk out of the hall, he glanced at Sun Ce, his lips moved slightly, and wanted to say something comforting, but after a second thought, he closed his mouth.

Sun Jian's death on the battlefield was a major blow to the entire Soochow high-level.

For Sun Ce, it was a bolt from the blue.

However, Tai Shici believed that Sun Bofu, known as the little overlord, had a strong heart and would only keep hatred in his heart, turn hatred into motivation, and fight hard against the Huai army.Never depressed.

"Father……"

There was no one else in the hall, and it suddenly became quiet.

Sun Ce drew the long sword at his waist and held it upright in front of his eyes. The bright water-like sword reflected his cheek. On the bright sword, he saw his red eyes.

And the fierce murderous intent contained in the depths of the eyes.

……

December [-]th.Soochow soldiers and horses began to move back and forth.

An elite army of 3 soldiers, holding a general flag, began to retreat northward.The rest of the army also packed up and made preparations for marching.

At this moment.

A knight galloped to the small town.

"My lord, there are a large number of enemy troops in the direction of Haining..."

At this time, Sun Ce was standing on the city wall, watching the backs of the first wave of elite soldiers retreating. The first retreating soldiers and horses were led by general Dong Xi. Dong Xi was brave and good at leading troops, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"A large number of enemy troops appeared in Haining? What is the origin of the opponent?"

Tai Shici, who was beside Sun Ce, immediately shouted and asked.

The courier reported: "According to the report of the detective horse, it should be a soldier of the Southern Song Dynasty. Who is the enemy's leading general? His subordinates have not found out yet..."

"Go and investigate again!"

Tai Shici looked a little cold, and asked the messenger to lead someone to investigate again.

"Unexpectedly, soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty also fell into trouble at this time!"

Sun Ce sneered.

There is no panic at this news.

"My lord, the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty going north should not be underestimated. If our army continues to withdraw at this time, I'm afraid we will be chased by the Southern Song Dynasty!"

Tai Shici frowned and said.

What he meant was to suspend the withdrawal of troops first, to block the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"What Ziyi said is also reasonable, but the army is most afraid of changing the order overnight. The order to withdraw troops has already been issued. If it is changed, the morale of the army will definitely drop. This is the real danger!"

Sun Ce spoke slowly.

"The best way to deal with it right now is to attack them head-on! Since the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty dared to go north, then this general will teach him a lesson! Let them know how powerful our army is!"

"Send an order for Ling Cao to lead the army, continue to organize the troops, and prepare to withdraw."

"Ziyi, you and I each command [-] cavalry, and head south quickly to kill him and turn the world upside down!"
