Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 160 After the War
"How?" Tang Yi, Zhou Tai's decision gave Jiang Dong a chance to withdraw, and finally came back without any danger, but Sun Ce's coma made everyone panic. Seeing the doctor come out of Sun Ce's room, Zhou Yu hurried forward to ask .

"There is nothing serious about the body, it's just exhaustion, and there are some internal injuries, but it's not life-threatening!" The doctor smiled and said: "Later, the old man will prescribe some medicine. Don't do anything with others in the next few days, and he will be cured."

"Thank you." Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the doctor to grab the medicine, and at the same time offered Xie Jin.

"Commander, Youping's people are back!" Ling Cao said as he entered, looking at Zhou Yu with a heavy face.

"How is You Ping?" Zhou Yu asked hurriedly.

Ling Cao shook his head, but did not speak.

"Take me there." Zhou Yu's heart sank. Although he had guessed, before seeing the result, he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe Zhou Tai was only seriously injured. No matter how serious the injury is, there is still hope for recovery. .

Ling Cao sighed, and brought Zhou Yu out. Zhou Tai's body had already been brought back. The moment Zhou Yu saw Zhou Tai's body, the hope in his heart was completely cut off.

"It was Lu Bu who made the move himself. General Zhou Tai died in a fierce battle. General Lu Bu read his loyalty, and our army has gone far. We have never made things difficult for ordinary soldiers." Ling Cao said with a serious face.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Tai's blood-soaked appearance. Even if he died at this moment, he still maintained the posture of holding the knife to resist, and it was difficult to change his posture even if he moved it hard.

"Someone will take Youping's body back and take it back to Jiangdong within a few days, so that his wife can be brought up so that he can take care of him." Zhou Yu closed his eyes and said sadly.

In today's battle, Jiangdong lost troops and generals, not to mention the annihilation of the navy, the loss of generals Tai Shici, Huang Gai, and Zhou Tai, plus the death of Lu Meng, is definitely a huge blow to Jiangdong, and more importantly, the blow to morale is destruction Seriously, Lu Bu almost wiped them all out alone!

Sun Ce's invincible image has always been the source of confidence for Jiangdong soldiers.

This was established by Sun Ce in battle after battle. In the hearts of Jiangdong soldiers, as long as Sun Ce is with them, they will be invincible. However, today, this myth of invincibility was completely broken when they first entered the Central Plains. Jiangdong group will take action , was so suppressed by Lu Bu alone that he couldn't lift his head. Who would have thought of this before the war?

No one can be invincible. Zhou Yu also thought that Sun Ce's strength would end one day. Jiangdong cannot rely on Sun Ce alone to carry the banner. As the lord, Sun Ce cannot always fight on the front line. According to Zhou Yu's previous After gaining a certain foundation for ideas, Sun Ce went behind the scenes to plan strategies.

With the joining of people like Tai Shici and Zhou Tai, this condition has actually been met. Zhou Yu's original idea was that after they captured Xuzhou and had a basic position to compete with the princes of the Central Plains, they would start to persuade Sun Ce to retreat behind the scenes. However, this battle in Xuzhou ended Sun Ce's undefeated myth in advance, which Zhou Yu never thought of beforehand anyway.

Lu Bu's bravery has surpassed Zhou Yu's definition of a warrior. There is really someone who can break through a thousand troops with one force!

"Captain, my lord is awake and looking for the governor." Chen Wu walked quickly and said to Zhou Yu.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu calmed down and returned to the mansion quickly. When he saw Sun Ce, Sun Ce was struggling to get up, and hurried forward: "The doctor said that Bo Fu is exhausted now, so he can rest for a few days and heal."

"How about the casualties?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

casualties?

Zhou Yu smiled wryly: "Don't worry about these things now, you'd better cultivate yourself first!"

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu: "There are heavy casualties?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"If you don't tell me, I'll ask others. I don't believe they dare to hide it from me!" Sun Ce said in a deep voice.

"Gongfu died in battle, the entire navy was wiped out, and Gongfu's body was not salvaged. Ziyi died in battle, and his people fought against Lv Bu with his people to protect the generals. He was beheaded by Lv Bu, and there was no body left. ...You Ping fought Lu Bu to death for our army's successor!" Zhou Yu knew Sun Ce's character, and after a sigh, he briefly summarized the casualties.

The specific number of casualties has not yet come out, but the naval army brought by Sun Ce has suffered serious losses. In terms of generals, losing three generals in a row, plus a young general whom Zhou Yu is more optimistic about, can be said to be extremely heavy.

On Lu Bu's side, there were almost no major casualties.

"Pfft~" Sun Ce was depressed when he heard this, and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"If something happens to you, we will have to retreat." Zhou Yu said helplessly while patting Sun Ce's back.

Sun Ce shook his head, took a deep breath, leaned against the bed with Zhou Yu's support, his eyes dimmed, he shook his head and said, "Lü Bu's courage is invincible to ordinary people!"

This is the first time Sun Ce has admitted that he is inferior in force.

He had never fought against the fierce generals of the Central Plains before, and the strongest one was the battle with Tai Shici at Shenting Ridge. He thought that even those famous generals were nothing more than that. It was only when he fought against Lu Bu today that Sun Ce's previous invincible mentality was broken.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce with some concern. If Sun Ce collapsed because of this, it would definitely be a huge blow to Jiang Dong.

Seeing his expression, Sun Ce knew what he was thinking, shook his head with a smile and said, "Gong Jin, don't worry, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, if you lose, you will be devastated. Compared with those mediocre people, I can't do anything." It's a little more brave, you can't be considered a real hero!"

Seeing him like this, Zhou Yu was also relieved. Sun Ce's charm is not only brave, but also because he has a strong heart. Even if he is not as good as others, I will train hard when I go back.

"Have you ever regretted planning Xuzhou at this time?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile.

"Why do you regret it? There are always winners and losers in the battles of the world. There is no mistake in the strategy I made this time. This is the best time to take over Xuzhou. I just didn't expect that Lu Bu is so tyrannical. If you deny us all because of this Plan, then Liu Yao, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and others were also wrong?" Sun Ce shook his head: "Right now, what you and I should consider is how to defeat Lu Bu."

Recalling today's battle, Zhou Yu thought to himself, "Lü Bu was not brave alone. Did Bo Fu ever notice that there were still people in command behind Lü Bu, who were quite accurate in judging the timing, and the soldiers and horses fighting against Gongfu were really tyrannical." Incomparably, it's a pity that we are not on the river today, otherwise Gongfu would not be defeated so easily."

Although there is a river channel blocking it, it is only a small river after all. A river with a width of ten feet is considered wide in the river, but compared with the general, it is far behind. The advantage of the navy cannot be brought into play. If you can shoot directly with a bow and arrow, if you are in the middle of the river, no matter how powerful the opponent's army is, if you don't go into the water, you may not even be able to touch their sides.

"If we want to enter the Central Plains, we can't just rely on the navy. It will be a matter of time before we fight on land. Today's defeat may not necessarily be a bad thing. Our army needs to form a strong land combat division in the future before we can compete with the princes of the Central Plains. .” Sun Ce shook his head.

If they want to conquer the Central Plains, it is obviously not enough to rely on the navy alone. They must have an army that can compete with others on land. Although today's defeat was miserable, many gaps between the Jiangdong Army and the princes of the Central Plains also emerged in this battle Out.

The water army can guarantee them to rule the roost in Jiangdong, but when they arrive in the Central Plains, after the river is gone, the limitations of the water army will be shown. This is still in Guangling, where the waters are developed, and further north, the terrain like today is less. If you still insist on always being proud of the navy, even if you defeat Lu Bu today, the further you go north in the future, the weaker you will be!
Therefore, from the beginning of Sun Ce's concept, he has never relied on the navy, and it is almost enough, mainly the army.

Zhou Yu nodded. In terms of strategy, Sun Ce has a long-term vision, so he attaches great importance to generals who are good at land warfare such as Tai Shici and Han Dang in the army. Unfortunately, Jiangdong's foundation is too shallow, and he mainly fought in Jiangdong before. Sun Ce attached great importance to the construction of the army, but he failed to really build a strong army to compete with the princes of the Central Plains.

Moreover, generals in the army do not have this concept. Many people think that being king on water is enough. After this battle, everyone should also begin to understand the importance of the army.

"Looking at it now, we can only hope that the eight-gate city built by Chen Yuanlong can trap Lu Bu, not to mention killing him, as long as we trap Lu Bu, our army can first destroy his army, and then work together to surround and kill Lu Bu!" Zhou Yu laughed. road.

As long as Chen Deng's eight-gate city can trap Lu Bu, no matter how strong the Xuzhou army is without a leader, they can try to break it up!
"My lord, Mr. Yuanlong, please see me." At this moment, Ling Cao came in and bowed to the two of them.

"It's just in time, please!" Sun Ce nodded.

"Here!"

Ling Cao turned and left, and brought Chen Deng in after a while.

"Is the general safe?" Chen Deng looked at Sun Ce and saluted.

"Yuan Long sit down quickly, there is no serious injury, just exhausted." Sun Ce motioned Chen Deng to sit down, and said with a wry smile, "We will know Lu Bu's bravery in today's battle."

"Don't be discouraged, General. Lu Bufei is an enemy alone. In the old days when he was locked in Hulao, the eighteen princes were unable to defeat him. During the Battle of Puyang, Duke Cao was almost wiped out. The two brothers, Duke Xuande, were also inappropriate. He is a fierce general, but if the two join forces, they can only draw with him!" Chen Deng said with a smile.

"The two team up?" Sun Ce became interested when he heard the words: "What if we fight against Lu Bu alone?"

I have never seen Lv Bu's bravery before, and when I heard that Liu Guanzhang took Lv Bu as a meritorious service in the three battles, most of them scoffed in their hearts. After all, three fights against one have not yet won. Sun Ce really doesn't know what Liu Bei should be proud of?
After the battle with Lu Bu today, when I heard that Guan Zhang teamed up to defeat Lu Bu, I suddenly felt that the opponent was bragging, two against one?How could it be a tie?

"Under Hulaoguan, I didn't participate in it, so I don't know, but in the past, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei fought fiercely several times, and General Zhang Fei and Lu Bu fought alone without losing." Many, but his brothers should be between brothers."

Under Liu Bei, there is such a fierce general! ?

After being silent for a long time, Sun Ce sighed: "In the past in Jiangdong, I only knew that there were heroes in the world, but today I know how big the world is!"

Zhou Yu didn't want to talk about this topic, so he looked at Chen Deng and said, "Yuanlong came here because of the Bamen City?"

"That's right, Bamen City has been built and is hidden underground. We can abandon the hall and lead Lu Bu to Bamen City. Once Bamen City comes out, we can trap and kill Lu Bu!" Chen Deng nodded. Over time, with the addition of his father, the progress of building Bamen City has been much faster. Now that it has been completed, it has been hidden underground by his father and son. As long as Lu Bu can be led to the location of Bamen City, Chen Gong is confident that the city will be trapped. Live in Lu Bu!

"Okay!" Sun Ce slapped his legs and laughed, "I'll follow the plan."

"But the general is injured..." Chen Deng looked at Sun Ce and said worriedly.

"It will be fine after a few days of training. I'll wait and prepare!" Sun Ce waved his hand indifferently. He just used too much force and was injured by Lu Bu. He can recover after a few days of rest. Now start to prepare, and the time is about the same.

"My lord, I'd better rest and recuperate. I'll do the retreat to lure the enemy." Zhou Yu stood up and said with a smile.

"I just do nothing like this?" Sun Ce said speechlessly.

"If Lu Bu can be trapped, the lord will have to personally preside over the defeat of the enemy!" Zhou Yu nodded and said, "So I ask the lord to rest and recuperate first."

"Forget it!" Sun Ce lay back on the couch speechlessly.

Zhou Yu and Chen Deng looked at each other with a smile, and the two left immediately, preparing to withdraw from the army...
