Lu's relatives

Chapter 463 Yuzhang's genus

Zhou Yu's so-called "three strategies in one step" is by no means in vain.After only listening to half a sentence of Sun Ce's words, he immediately noticed the key point.

Yuzhang, where Sun Ce is based, is located on the left side of Lingnan, adjacent to Shixie of Jiaozhou, which has always pursued a closed-door policy, and the four counties of Jingnan, which are beyond the reach of Liu Biao. Surrounded by mountains, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the other hand, in addition to the fact that the mountains and mountains are causing disasters, in terms of military strength alone, it is really an excellent place to raise troops.

In order to solve Sun Ce's solitary situation, Zhou Yu made contact with the Shanyue sect in the mountain range between Yuzhang County and Danyang County with the grain and grass produced in the county and the ironware that Shanyue people could not reach. , relying on his three-inch tongue, recruited more than [-] strong Shanyue young and strong barbarians for Sun Ce as his wings.These barbarians, in the eyes of Zhou Yu, who knows soldiers well, may be on a flat battlefield. In terms of their terrible military discipline and unformed troops, perhaps even the last cavalry in the Central Plains can't charge at all. It may not be able to resist.But if it was changed to Jiangdong, especially in the mountainous terrain near the south of the Lingnan, these barbarians could really be said to be like a fish in water.Those checkpoints built in the treacherous mountains may be an insurmountable moat for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, but for these barbarians who grew up in the mountains and forests since childhood, trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground, Wanting to take advantage of the situation to attack is as simple and easy as eating and drinking.

As Zhou Yu expected.Xiaoguan, which was originally guarded by Liu Yao himself, had no more than [-] troops. Under the strong attack of the [-] troops of Yan Baihu and his son who were "persuaded" by Zhou Yu, and the army led by Zongshuai Zulang With the help of five thousand barbarians, it took ten days to change hands before Qin Xu successfully resolved the Guangling matter, which was nothing more than a normal thing.Even Guo Jia's rumor was full of loopholes in Zhou Yu's view, Zhou Yu didn't have the heart to expose it, and just waited to see Lu Bujun's joke at the end.Anyway, Zhou Yu didn't really put all his hopes on the matter of Xiaoguan. Yuzhang is far away from Wujun, with Danyang on the top and Kuaiji on the bottom. There is no direct benefit either.On the contrary, it will boost the "arrogance" of Yan's father and son and make it out of control. It is better to use the hands of Yan's father and son to consume Wu County's troops, and at the same time, delay Qin Xu's time to fight for Fuguan To buy time, let him stay in Qu'a. Legend has it that Guo Jia, the left army division of Lv Bujun, sang and acted on his own. There is no need to expose his tricks and increase the difficulty of attacking Fuguan.

Zhou Yu thinks that he has considered everything comprehensively.Zhou Yu knew a little about the fighting strength of the Danyang soldiers and the grievances with Qin Xu.Even if he, Qin Xu, is really the God of War, when the main force of Lu Bu's army goes north, he will rely on the nearly [-] Qingzhou soldiers under Xiapi to fight against the old elite Danyang soldiers. It took ten days and a half months.At that time, let alone rescue Fuguan to protect Kuaiji County, I am afraid that even Wu County will be taken by Yan Baihu.At that time, the Sun family's forces could take advantage of Qin Xu's and Yan's father's and son's fighting opportunities to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It has to be said that Zhou Yu's plan is perfect.Almost every step Qin Xu's soldiers will take has been calculated by Zhou Yu.But what Zhou Yu never thought of was.Someone Qin's method from 800 years later became the short point of Zhou Yu's strategy.God knows that the battle between two powerful armies on opposite sides would end in such a dramatic way within half a day.How come those Danyang soldiers are so soft on Qin Xu?No matter how Zhou Yu thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.Zhou Yu didn't get the news until he saw that Fu Pass was about to be broken.It turns out that Qin Xu once again proved the rumors that he was a "man of gods" who descended to earth with practical actions. He used the "sacred thunder" that once made Cao Cao's [-] troops trample on each other to replicate the miracle of recovering the Yellow Turban Army when he was in Qingzhou. Force Danyang soldiers to surrender.

Zhou Yu dismissed such claims as gods and men.Zhou Yu once suspected Qin Xu more than once, or that there were Mohists in the Lv Bu army behind Qin Xu.After all, it happened when the Great Han Dynasty founded the country. The story of Zhang Liangji and crossing the wall ladder was widely spread. Although the Mohist family had declined during Emperor Wu, Zhou Yu, as a member of the same family, was still active for some Mohist people. The news is still somewhat heard.

But these are not important anymore.Zhou Yu, who had been arranging calculations at Fuguan before, heard that Sun Ce ordered someone to send them four or five days late. Qin Xu took only half a day to recover the Danyang soldiers, and had successfully crossed the river. After the news of the garrison on the tidal flats, Zhou Yu already had an ominous premonition.

Four or five days.For a big man who basically relies on walking for travel and shouting for spreading messages, it is actually not a very long time.But that also depends on the person.In short, Zhou Yu had reason to believe that Qin Xu, who was able to defeat the Danyang rebels in half a day and regain Guangling, was extremely likely to create another miracle in a short period of time, or even a shorter period of time.But although Zhou Yu had this idea in his heart, he was just like Sun Ce.It was a little fluke to be rushed by the large-scale victory that was about to be achieved.Regarding Qin Xu's ability to defeat the Danyang soldiers, in addition to being frightened by Qin Xu's methods, there is also a deep feeling in his heart that the reason why the Danyang soldiers surrendered so easily is related to the fact that Qin Xu led the governor of Xuzhou and raised Danyang soldiers for nothing. .After all, kindness and righteousness are so important these days, no matter how strong and arrogant the Danyang soldiers are, they will have some scruples about Qin Xu, the "old master".Now that Fu Pass is about to be broken, the two evils are the lesser of the two evils. If Fu Pass can really be broken and drive straight into the territory of Kuaiji County and Wu County, then it will be considered that Qin Xu has a strong army, and even seriously It doesn't matter if the Yuzhang is broken, if you have Kuaiji and Wujun, it will be even more difficult to gain the upper hand in an away game on the old Sun's old territory.

Therefore, seeing that the battle at Fuguan was in full swing and a big victory was in sight, Zhou Yu felt a little lucky. He suppressed his worries for the time being and concentrated on leading his troops to attack the west side of Fuguan by surprise, so as to cope with the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west that Sun Ce had offered before. If you can make a time difference, you can gamble that you can take this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Fuguan pass before Qin Xu's army arrives to rescue Fuguan.

It seems that Zhou Yu's luck is not as good as Qin Xu's after all.Just when he was about to get what he wanted, the critical situation directly poured a bucket of cold water on Zhou Yu's heart.The arrival of Pan Zhang made Zhou Yu's wet chest immediately covered with a thick layer of ice.

What are you really worried about?When Zhou Yu saw Pan Zhang, before Pan Zhang could speak, he already guessed the predicament from Pan Zhang's flustered expression.This time, he listened to Sun Ce's meaning again.What worried Zhou Yu the most still happened.

Huang Gai is the grain guard, and it's okay to say that the grain road from Yuzhang to Fuguan is unblocked in order to protect Yuzhang.However, Han Dang was a general that Sun Ce relied heavily on, and he almost handed over the entire frontier defense of Yuzhang to him. Han Dang led Zhu Zhi, Sun Jing and other absolute cronies, as well as newly recruited generals such as Ling Cao and Quan Rou, to protect Yuzhang. comprehensive.However, Han Dang, who has always regarded the military order like a mountain and was ordered to guard the north of Yuzhang to guard against Danyang and Shanyue, did not obey the military order and led the army here, saying that he wanted to "rescue" Sun Ce. If Zhou Yu couldn't understand Qin Xu's intentions, he would really insult Jiangdong Zhou Lang's reputation as a resourceful man.

"Young master! The last general came late for rescue, and I hope the lord will forgive me!" Sun Ce was staring at the city wall of Fuguan bitterly. Tai Shici's army, who had no power to fight back, was slowly regaining the victory, and when the previous strong attack by Sun's army fell short, the two veteran generals, Han Dang and Huang Gai, who came one step ahead, had already He was brought before Sun Ce.

"Qin Xu! Qin thief!" Sun Ce turned a blind eye to the arrival of the two veterans, put his hand on his chest, and roared angrily, gnashing his teeth.

"Young master?" Han Dang was the most straightforward, seeing Sun Ce like this, he wanted to ask what happened.But he was pulled back by Cheng Pu, and asked in a deep voice: "Yigong, you and Tongfu don't abide by your duties, why did you bring troops here?"

"I... I wait... Demou, what's the matter? We came here after meeting the young master and Gongjin's handwriting. Isn't it?" Now Han Dang also saw the weirdness of the matter .It was supposed to attack Fuguan in full swing, but it seemed that Sun's troops had the upper hand. It stands to reason that his own reinforcements here increased the chances of winning the Fuguan. He should be happy.Not to mention why all the soldiers around Sun Ce looked so mournful, even Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, and even Zhou Yu all had solemn expressions.Han Dang immediately pulled out a roll of sealed letters from his arms with a puzzled face, and handed it to Cheng Pu.

"Young Master...Look!" Cheng Pu dubiously took the so-called urgent handwritten military order from Sun Ce and Zhou Yu handed over by Han Dang, and saw that Huang Gai had the same letter in his hand.Looking at the handwritten letters and seals of the two people who were very familiar with it and did not seem to be fake at all, Cheng Pu looked through it several times in disbelief, but he didn't see any signs of fraud, so he had to hand it in with a face full of doubts. In the hands of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

"You don't need to read it! It must be fake!" Sun Ce said angrily as he swept the two letters Cheng Pu handed over to the ground.

"Fake? But the handwriting and seal on it..." Han Dang glanced at Sun Ce, and subconsciously wanted to refute a few more words, but Sun Ce's gloomy face and the Fu Pass clearly had the upper hand, but It was the general of the Sun family who had begun to show signs of retreating. No matter how stupid Han Dang was, he saw the strangeness of the matter and hurriedly stopped talking.

"Who exactly passed this letter to you two?" Zhou Yu was the only person in the room who was calm.Seeing that the expressions of Han Dang and Huang Gai did not seem to be fake, Zhou Yu frowned and asked.

"It was Yan Baihu, who was forced to surrender by Gongjin's troops before, and handed it over to us personally!" Han Dang also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time. Passing on the military orders would be a serious crime that would bring disaster to the Sun family's forces. Even if Sun Ce saw that his elder brothers had followed Sun Jian in the wars in the South and North, they would not be punished too severely, but it was not a matter after all. Regarding the matter of glory, what Han Dang said no longer had the confidence he had before.

"Hey! Yan Baihu!" Sun Ce first slammed his hand hard, and almost gritted his teeth angrily.

"Bo Fu! It seems that the change in Danyang is insoluble. I waited and tried to arrange it again and again, but I didn't expect to underestimate Qin Xu's ability. The thief Yan Baihu must be like those Danyang soldiers. He was already intimidated by Qin Xu. Use such tricks and use Fuguan as bait to plot against us. Sooner or later, Yan Baihu will have to pay the price! As for the current plan, Bo Fu and Qin Xu's army has arrived, it is definitely not a good plan to fight hard. It's better to retreat first, fortunately there are two generals, Yigong and Gongfu, who brought large soldiers, and since Yan Baihu wants to use this trick to deceive the trust of the two generals, he must not bring many troops, if we return in time Also, maybe the situation in Yuzhang can be controlled!" Zhou Yu's words really spoke to Sun Ce's heart.Although Sun Ce is now in a rage, he can see clearly what he is doing now.For the matter of Fuguan, after paying such a high price, it is impossible to do anything.The most important thing now is to keep the base camp, so as to have a chance to make a comeback.Yuzhang County is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Qin Xu led his troops to pursue it, he could rely on the advantages of the terrain to keep the main force intact. Although it is not good to have the reputation of being deterred by Qin Xu's army after never meeting him. , but it was the most correct choice in front of him. Even if Sun Ce was reluctant, he would have to act according to Zhou Yu's words.

"Qin Xu!" With blood-red eyes, Sun Ce looked back with difficulty under the Fu Pass, where the mutilated corpses of his own army and the guards of Fu Pass were piled up almost everywhere, with a voice that was almost hoarse , making a heart-rending roar at the big general flag still planted in Fuguan.
