The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

?

Xu Zhong read the military newspaper and handed it to Xu Shao. ︾Music︾Wen︾Xiao︾Said|

After Xu Shao, Xu Zhuo, Xun Pu, He Yi and others finished reading the biography, everyone sighed.

Xu Shao said: "Heroes and talents are almost gifted by heaven. To follow and plagiarize Yao's traces, Bofu is such a person!"

"Plagiarize Yao", Huo Qubing. At the age of seventeen, Huo Qubing attacked the Huns by plagiarizing Yao Xiaowei from Weiqing. He won the championship and was awarded the title of champion. Sun Ce is eighteen years old this year. Two thousand stones, although Huo Qubing was attacking the Xiongnu, while Sun Ce was only fighting a civil war, but compared with their age, official position and final achievements, the two are comparable to a certain extent. Therefore, Xu Shao said, "Plagiarize Yao's track. , Bo Fu his people".

That's a high compliment.

In the first year of Zhongping, when Xun Pu fought against Xun Zhen, he was seventeen years old, just like when Huo Qubing was fighting Wei Qing. At that time, he often encouraged himself by the deeds of Huo Qubing. He has made great progress, but his progress has been achieved through long-term and unremitting study, observation, and practice, and he has paid a lot of sweat. I agree with Xu Shao's words, in this world, there are really talented people.

He thought to himself: "When I was eighteen, I couldn't bring three hundred soldiers, and I was still unfamiliar with the formation. How could I defeat Qiao Rui?"

Sun Ce had a military talent. In the original history, he did not follow Sun Jian to fight. He first lived in Shouchun with his mother and brothers, and later moved to Shuxian, where he became a neighbor with Zhou Yu until Sun Jian was killed. Just started to lead the army to fight, and it was a blockbuster. Now, not only has he been fighting with Sun Jian, but he has also been taught by Xun Zhen, that his military ability will of course be stronger than in the original history, at least compared to when he was the same age in the original history.

But he said: How did Sun Ce fight this battle?

Returning to Yingchuan with troops from Hanoi, Sun Ce learned from Hongzi that the division of Qiaorui took over Dingying and approached the eastern boundary of Yingchuan. The situation is unfavorable. The governor of Yan County, who blocked the westward advance of Qiaorui, reported to Sun Ce, saying that Qiaorui was encompassing the people, and the momentum was huge, and the guards in the city were moved. Hongzi stationed troops in Xiangcheng, and Sun Ce inspected the barracks and found that the morale of the troops stationed in Xiangcheng was also not high. Because of this, he pretended to be contemptuous, and laughed with the sergeant, saying that Qiaorui was "the ear of a county official", - Qiao Rui served as an official in the county in his early years, which is the only way for most of the children of the gentry to enter the office. , but inexplicably infected the soldiers, removed a lot of fear, and the military heart became greatly stabilized.

Hong Chi was in his early twenties, and although he was older than Sun Ce, he was Sun Jian's son-in-law and could not be compared with Sun Ce, so when Sun Ce arrived in Yingchuan, he voluntarily gave up command of the army and suggested to Sun Ce, "Hanoi The battle is in full swing, my uncle can't return for the time being, the strong enemy is pressing the situation, the soldiers' hearts are shaken, my brother-in-law has brought a lonely soldier to the rescue, and the battle is quick. ."

"Uncle" is the name given to father-in-law nowadays. "Brother" was the name given to Sun Ce.

Hongzi's suggestion was quite reasonable, but Sun Ce disagreed. He thought that what Hongzi said was just "common sense", but he had another idea, and said to Hongzi: "No. Lu Fengxian entered Runan and trapped me. Several cities, following the siege of Pingyu, the bridge and the Rui, broke the brother’s army, and plundered Yingchuan. The energy is full, and it cannot be attacked. It is better to retreat and force the enemy to attack, disturb and labor, and you can win.”

Hongzi said worriedly: "Yuan Road is watching the battle in Nanyang, watching the situation, Wan County, 200 miles away from my county, even if the march is slow, it will arrive in three days. Also! At this time, I thought that the priority should be to win quickly and quickly, and only by breaking the bridge as soon as possible can we avoid the danger of a combined attack on our county.”

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Brother Xian is overthinking it! Yuan Gonggong will definitely not send troops at this time."

"how do I say this?"

"My father and my teacher have each gone to Liu Jingzhou and made an appointment to attack Yuan Gonggong together. Although there is no reply from Jingzhou, and the envoys sent by my father and my teacher are all under the banner, Yuan Gonggong will definitely hear it. Therefore, I expect that he will not dare to divide his troops north again at this time."

Hongzi still couldn't rest assured and said, "Even if Yuan Gonggong won't send troops at this time, but Lu Fengxian has been besieging Pingyu for a long time, if our department can't break the bridge quickly and rush to aid Pingyu, what if Pingyu falls?"

"I heard that General Xu Junqing has led his troops to Kunyang, and he is stalemate with Zhang Wenyuan in Gepi. General Xu's troops are threatening Lv Fengxian's flank. They have already divided Fengxian's forces, making him unable to attack the city with peace of mind. Huangdu Wei is resolute, dares to make decisions when it comes to matters, and is good at appeasing the crowd. He can gain the strength of soldiers and go out into field battles, or he may not be as good as Feng Xian, but now Feng Xiao’s troops are weak, and they can defend the city and defend themselves.

Hongzi was convinced by Sun Ce's words, so he followed Sun Ce's plan.

Therefore, Sun Ce ordered the defenders of Yan County to retreat to the strong.

Qiang is 60 miles north of Yan County, belonging to Runan County, bordering Linying of Yingchuan in the northwest and Yingshui in the north.

The city of Yan County is between the two waters, and the only strong point is that it is adjacent to the Yingshui River to the north. From the perspective of defense alone, it is not as strong as Yan County. The reason why Sun Ce decided to order the defending troops of Yan County to withdraw to the strong is the first reason to show weakness,—— Even Yan County, which was good for the defense, gave up. It can be seen that the Yingchuan soldiers were indeed "powerless" to resist Qiaorui's raids~www.wuxiaspot.com~Because the strong only faces the water on one side, and the area to the south is open, it is more From Yan County, it is more suitable for field battles to win, which is the second reason why the retreating troops are strong.

After retreating, but not as Sun Ce expected, Qiao Rui did not immediately chase after him, but after entering Yanxian City, he let the tribes burn, kill and loot.

He personally took hundreds of cavalry to fight outside the Qiaorui camp. Just as Zhang Liao made people scold Xu Zhong, he also made people scold Qiaorui. This time, Qiaorui was caught in the scheme, probably because he saw the troops led by Sun Ce. Not many Qu, and he despised Sun Ce's youth, hoping that he could capture Sun Ce, to coerce Sun Jian, or at least to coerce Huang Gai to Xianping Yucheng, so he sent his troops to fight against Sun Ce, and the two armies then moved to the junction of Yanxian and Qiang.

Hong Zi had already brought his troops to form here, thinking that he could attack him, but after Sun Ce joined him, he said: "The Rui soldiers have been provoked for me, and they will go out and fight far away, and they will not have time to bring food and grain. Food, the people are hungry and thirsty, and seeing our army lined up waiting again, Qiao Rui must have woken up now, he knows that he has hit my plan, don’t have to wait any longer, he will definitely withdraw his troops, retreat and attack them again, and he will definitely win.”

This time, as Sun Ce had expected, it didn't take long before Qiaorui retreated and wanted to return to Yanxian County. Sun Ce still personally went into battle, attacked him, and won a great victory. Chasing the north, he recaptured Yan County in one fell swoop, and the troops approached the outside of Dingying City, and ordered the soldiers to shout to the city: "Sun Lang is here!" .

Sun Ce did not bring any equipment to attack the city, so he stayed outside Dingying City for a long time, and ordered Hongzi to return to Yingchuan to defend the city. In addition, he joined forces with the reinforcements of Chen and Liang to join forces with Lu Bu, the imperial palace in the city.

Along with the military report of Sun Ce breaking the bridge at the same time, there was also a letter written by Sun Ce to Xu Zhong after arriving in Pingyu.
