Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 760

There was a loud voice in Xiahouyuan’s military camp, the prime minister’s army was about to arrive, wouldn’t it be easy to win Xiaoxiaowu County?

Compared with the cheers in Xiahouyuan's army, the atmosphere in Wu County suddenly became solidified.

In the Chamber of Miyagi, Wu County.

Sun Quanduan sat on top of the main seat, his young face frowned, his expression heavy.

"General Governor, is this news true?"

Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu at the top left.

Zhou Yu nodded and confirmed: "This is a letter signed jointly by Gong Yi and Youtai Gong. It should be true, and Cao Cao is afraid that Bingfeng has already pointed towards Danyang and will reach Wu County in a few days."

"In other words, there are at least fifty to sixty thousand Cao Bing gathered in Wu County?"

"Oh my God, how can this be good?"

"It's over, it's really a disaster this time."

Many Jiangdong civil and military officials looked horrified. Today, a letter was suddenly sent from Wanling Town, Danyang County. It was signed by Fubo Zhonglang Jiang Qin and Danyang Prefect Sun Jing.

It is said that one hundred thousand Cao troops came through Yuzhang County. Yuzhang County prefect Sun Ben has already surrendered to the enemy. Therefore, Yuzhang County fell directly into the hands of Cao Jun. Cao Jun's aggressive eastward advance is now attacking Danyang County.

Sun Jing resisted with difficulty and sent this letter to teach Sun Quan to make an early decision.

"Don't worry, a certain leader once fought Cao Jun in Lujiang. The number of Cao Jun is between 30,000 and 40,000 at most, and it is absolutely impossible to have as many as 100,000." Zhou Yu said.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, some people breathed a sigh of relief. After all, thirty or forty thousand people are better than one hundred thousand people.

Some people are still worried. Cao Cao has 340,000 people, and Xiahouyuan's 15,000 people outside Wu County. The total is 450,000 people. The total strength of Jiangdong Army is only about 20,000.

What's even more unfortunate is that Danyang County's weak forces will definitely not be able to withstand Cao's fierce offensive, which means that most of Jiangdong's territory is now in the hands of Cao's army.

It can be said that this time is the biggest crisis in Jiangdong.

"Master!"

Tai Shici suddenly stood up, clasped his fists, his eyes firm and said: "You Tai Gong stands firm in Danyang County. No matter how fast Cao Jun is, it will take at least a few days before he can reach Wu County. Our army is not without a chance!"

"Our army's current deployment in Wu County exceeds Xia Houyuan's, and the people's sentiment is back. It can completely defeat Xia Houyuan and cut off Cao Cao's arm in one fell swoop."

"Once Cao Cao's main force arrives in Wu County and joins forces with Xia Houyuan, even if our army wants to fight Xia Houyuan to the death, there will be no chance."

"The lord, please give an order to personally oversee Xiahouyuan's barracks. The final general is willing to be the vanguard and defeat Xiahouyuan in one fell swoop!"

Tai Shi Ci said boldly.

When he said this, many Jiangdong army generals applauded.

Chen Wu stood up and said, "Lord, give the order. Even if Chen Wu spares his life, I will break through Xia Houyuan's camp."

Huang Gai clasped his fist and said, "Huang Mo Lian is not old, please order from the lord, I am also willing to lead troops into the battle."

"Lord, give an order. Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to fight Xiahouyuan to the death!"

Hearing so many calls for a fight, Sun Quan couldn't help holding his fist in excitement. After all, he was a young man, and his heart also gave birth to the desire to fight Xia Houyuan to the death.

but...

Sun Quan still looked at Zhou Yu: "General Governor, how about a decisive battle between our army and Xia Houyuan?"

"The lord's courage is commendable."

"But the lord has ever thought about whether our army can defeat Xiahouyuan? Even if it can defeat Xiahouyuan, how much of our sergeant can still be left, and can we still handle Cao Cao's army?"

Zhou Yu stood up, looked around at the generals, and said loudly: "You are all fierce generals in one hundred. This governor has no doubt about your courage, but military affairs cannot be solved by a moment of blood and courage."

"Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops come to the east. If our army fights Xia Houyuan to the death, the remaining soldiers will definitely not be the opponents of Cao's army. Do you want to be brave men?"

The generals were poured cold water on their heads by Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan couldn't help but said: "Then what should our army do, is it possible to wait for Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan to join forces? Wouldn't it be more difficult to fight?"

Zhou Yu walked to Sun Quan and whispered a few words to him, only to see that Sun Quan's expression changed very much at first, but Zhou Yu still calmly said a few words to him. Sun Quan's expression was very complicated, and finally he nodded in agreement. .

"Ok..."

Sun Quanchang sighed, looked around the generals, and slowly said: "Everyone, our army withdrew from Wu County today and retreat to Huiji County."

"What? Should our army retreat without fighting?"

"What do you mean? Wait for Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan to join forces?"

"This..."

"Cough cough cough!"

With a cough, Zhang Zhao, who was at the head of the civil servants, slowly stood up and bowed to Sun Quan.

"Dare to ask the lord, but do you want to give up Wu County?"

"Now our army only has Wu Jun, Danyang County, and Huiji County. I am afraid that Danyang County will not be able to resist for long. As a result, our army's territory will not be left. Now the lord has to take the initiative to abandon Wu Jun. Is this possible? ?"

After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, many Jiangdong officials nodded one after another. They had never seen such a war.

Zhou Yu replied: "Zi Bu Gong, you guys, what can our army not lose now?"

His eyes pierced and said: "The Cao army has a lot of power. If you want to fight hard, our army is definitely not an opponent. If you want to defend the city, our army doesn't know how long it will defend."

"Today's method is only one battle to determine the universe, and this battle cannot be fought in Wu County, it must be in Kuaiji County!"

When Le Yi defeated Qi, he successively underwent more than seventy cities in Qi, leaving only two cities, but Tian Dan stayed on for more than a year. But Zhou Yu knew that the Jiangdong army could not do it, because the Sun family's foundation in Jiangdong was not stable, and the Jiangdong clans were not necessarily willing to support Sun Quan, and they might have defected to Cao Cao instead.

When Sun Ce quickly settled Jiangdong, he failed to deal with the contradictions with many Jiangdong clans. If the Jiangdong clans turned back, the Jiangdong army would definitely not stick to it.

"Well, someone has decided to retreat to Kuaiji County!"

Sun Quan's final decision, although the generals had objections, they couldn't refute them.

That night, nearly 20,000 Jiangdong troops in the city escorted Sun Quan from Wuxian County and evacuated all the way south to Huiji County.

"What? Jiangdong Army took the initiative to abandon the city and retreat southward?" Xia Houyuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, it seems that Jiang Dongjun might also know the news that the prime minister led the army to the east, so he was frightened to retreat." Xia Houshang gave a natural expression.

"Not necessarily."

Xia Houyuan waved his hand and ordered: "Send more detectives to investigate, and another group of troops will be stationed in Wuxian Town to probe the enemy's reality."
