Groups of soldiers from Jiangdong were escorting carts of grain, grass and baggage and more than 4,000 prisoners.
Left the fort in an orderly manner.
From the fortress built by the two powerful men, flames shot out into the sky.
Although the battle has ended, this fortress is built on Tianzhu Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
If it is not burned down, it can easily become a place for people with ulterior motives.
Still burned clean.
The food, grass and baggage brought out from the fortress gave Jiangdong Army a small profit.
The powerful are powerful, and they are much richer than the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
With the contributions of Zhang Duo and Xu Gan, Jiangdong Army's food and salary reserves have been doubled!
Sun Ce looked at the carts of food and wages, and tears flowed down from the corners of his mouth:
"When the cannon goes off, you get ten thousand taels of gold! Sure enough, the fastest way to earn money is to support war with war."
After being ecstatic for five minutes, Sun Ce returned to his normal mood.
The Jiangdong Army, which led a great victory, left happily with a large amount of loot.
As per usual.
Naturally, the food and salary were handed over to Zhuge Jin and Yu Laoliang, who made unified arrangements.
As for the prisoners, they were all handed over to Yue Fei.
Potential and strong soldiers were selected from 4,000 prisoners and incorporated into the Jiangdong Army after training.
Further strengthen the Jiangdong Army.
On the way back to Longshu, Sun Ce did not forget to send a message to Lu Kang.
According to the plan they had discussed before, they staged a big show in front of Yuan Shu.
A few days later.
The news that Sun Ce led the Jiangdong Army to defeat Zhang Duo and Xu Qian spread like wildfire.
The whole Lujiang was shocked.
No one expected that the two powerful men who had been in Hengxing Township for many years would actually be wiped out by Sun Ce.
Many Lujiang people clapped their hands and applauded, and their support for Jiangdong Army became even higher.
The Jiangdong Army is called the Jiangdong Children Army.
Most of the army's lieutenants came from Jiangdong.
Compared to the tyrants who bully men and women and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who plunder the people, the Jiangdong children have strict military discipline.
If you freeze to death, don’t demolish your house; if you starve to death, don’t grab food.
Such troops will certainly be welcomed by the people.
at the same time.
A piece of paper from Lu Kang was delivered to Yuan Shu.
in the document.
Two powerful men, Zhang Duo and Xu Qian, were described by Lu Kang as his right-hand men.
He also reprimanded Sun Ce for being domineering, which caused Lu Kang's strength to suffer greatly.
Yuan Shu was asked to seek justice for Lu Kang.
Yuan Shu was extremely happy when he received this letter.
To suppress Lu Kang and even capture the entire Lujiang River was Yuan Shu's order to Sun Ce.
Lu Kang was born in the Lu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong, and Yuan Shu had never found a good way to capture Lujiang.
Now that Sun Ce has this sharp knife, how can he not be happy?
After all, Yuan Shu was an outsider, and the territory he occupied in Jiangdong was limited to the north of the Yangtze River.
I don’t know the actual situation in various places south of the Yangtze River.
Of course, we don’t know that Zhang Duo and Xu Qian are not Lu Kang’s “right-hand men”.
He really thought that Sun Ce had surrendered to him and became a lackey of his.
Help him do his best to weaken Lu Kang's power.
However, Yuan Shu went from being a child of a noble family to his current position.
There are usually two brushes.
He is not stupid enough to trust Sun Ce easily.
Therefore, he did not speak for Sun Ce easily and recommended Sun Ce to the court to become a higher-level military commander.
Yuan Shu just sent someone to send Sun Ce a letter without any nutrition.
Encourage Sun Ce to continue his efforts and strive to capture Lujiang as soon as possible.
The implication could not be clearer:
Only if Sun Ce helped Yuan Shu capture Lujiang would the imperial appointment certificate fall into Sun Ce's hands.
This letter was subsequently thrown into Yu Laoliang's alchemy furnace by Sun Ce.
He didn't expect to get any benefits from Yuan Shu.
As long as Yuan Shu can be deceived and Yuan Shu is not allowed to blacklist Jiangdong Army, the goal will be achieved.
To survive in the cracks, you have to be like an old liar.
Learn to "deceive and deceive"!
In response to Yuan Shu's letter, Jiangdong's army regrouped half a month later.
Sun Ce aimed his gun at Zheng Bao, the strongest man in Lujiang.
Zheng Bao was entrenched in the north of Shu County, where Lujiang was governed.
With Chaohu as its base, it threatens the important town of Hefei to the north.
To the south, there is a major threat to Shu County.
It is different from the two great heroes Zhang Duo and Xu Qian who built their fortress on Tianzhu Mountain.
Zheng Bao is even more of a chicken thief.
He built his nest deep in Chao Lake.
It is quite similar to the heroes of Liangshan in later generations, relying on thousands of miles of lakes as a barrier.
The vast mist of the lake can isolate the cavalry from attacking.
If you want to destroy Zheng Bao, you can only launch an attack on the water.
There is no land route that leads directly to Zheng Bao's lair.
General Ran Min looked at the lake in front of him and scratched his head in distress:
"Zheng Bao is such a thief! My heavy cavalry is of no use at all."
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu who was temporarily transferred here with a smile:
"We still have Gong Jin, right? Gong Jin is a good player in water fights."
Zhou Yu took out the terrain map he had prepared in advance.
Pointing to several places marked with red circles on the map:
"Who said heavy cavalry can't be used? Although Zheng Bao's lair is located deep in Chao Lake, there are still several dry outposts set up on the shore."
"Let's uproot these dry villages first and cut off Zheng Bao's wings!"
"When Zheng Bao finds out that the dry stronghold has been broken, he will definitely not be able to sit still and will definitely come to fight in a warship. As long as he comes to the lake, it will be time for our army to take advantage of it."
What is Jiangdong's best fighting method?
Water fight!
Born in a water town east of the Yangtze River, everyone in the army knows how to swim.
Familiar with various ships and various types of water warfare tactics.
Huang Gai dived into the water and snatched Sun Jian's body from Huang Zu's boat.
Isn't it a model of water warfare?
During the campaign against Dai Feng, Cheng Pu and Han Dang led their troops to dive down from the moat.
Blocked Dai Feng at the city gate.
Isn’t it also giving full play to the ability of water warfare?
When it comes to water warfare, if Jiangdong Army claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first!
Sun Ce put away his smile.
His expression gradually turned serious:
"Ran Min! The dry village in the north is left to you. Break through it!"
"Huang Zhong! It's up to you to attack Hanzhai in the west!"
"Yang Miaozhen, lead your troops to attack Dongbian Hanzhai!"
The solemn words paused for a moment, and Sun Ce tightened his grip on the Overlord Spear in his hand.
"To the south... I will personally lead the army to flatten it!"
After the arrangements are made.
Jiangdong's army broke into pieces and quickly dispersed in all directions.
That evening.
News spread one by one to Zheng Bao's lair deep in Chaohu Lake.
"Sir, it's bad! Jiangdong's army suddenly attacked Hanzhai in the north, and Hanzhai was lost!"
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster! The Han Village in the west was attacked by Jiangdong's army. Brothers can't stop it!"
"Report - there is a fire in Hanzhai in the east, Jiangdong Army took advantage of the situation and seized Hanzhai!"
"It's a big deal! Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, led his army to break through the dry stronghold in the south. Our army was defeated!"
Chaohu Lake is deep and wide, from the dry village near the lake to the old nest in the middle of the lake.
It's half a day's journey by boat.
The Jiangdong Army moved quickly and attacked fiercely.
The people stationed in the dry village had no time to ask for help.
When Zheng Bao received the news, all the dry villages on all sides had been captured by Jiangdong's army.
The successive defeats made Zheng Bao furious.
Snapped!
The wine glass flew out of Zheng Bao's hand and fell to the ground hard.
Become countless fragments.
"Assemble the troops! Tomorrow morning, I will have a life-and-death showdown with the Jiangdong Overlord!"
A cold and vicious look covered Zheng Bao's entire face.
