As a Huainan general, Zhang Xun naturally knew the current battle situation.
Although Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, has powerful troops, he has a small number of people, which is his weakness. It is for this reason that Zhang Xun asked for reinforcements, hoping to take advantage of the large number of people to defeat Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong. wipe out.
There are 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city. If Huainan supports another 30,000 soldiers and horses, that will be 80,000 soldiers and horses. Using a siege, the soldiers and horses of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, can be easily defeated.
At this point, Zhang Xun had never had any doubts.
And he also knew very well that as long as Huannan sent troops, the leader would definitely be his old friend Ji Ling.
Ji Ling has strong martial arts skills and is cautious. He takes his good helper seriously. With his help, it is not difficult to defeat Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.
It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Who would have thought that Ji Ling, who was always cautious, would be ambushed by the enemy. Not only was the entire army wiped out, but he himself was also killed.
This result really surprised Zhang Xun, and at the same time he was even more worried.
Because he knows very well how many soldiers and horses there are in Huainan!
The number of soldiers and horses Ji Ling brought was basically not much different from what he thought.
In this way, Huainan only has 40,000 soldiers left. This is the most critical thing.
What Zhang Xun is worried about is that after Ji Ling's troops are wiped out, will reinforcements be sent?
Of course he hopes to send reinforcements, but if reinforcements are really sent, Shouchun's defense will become empty. The question is, does the lord dare to do this?
If reinforcements are sent, as long as they arrive safely, Zhang Xun is sure to defeat the troops of Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce in one fell swoop.
But the question is, will the Lord risk Shouchun's emptiness and send reinforcements?
This is what Zhang Xun is most worried about!
If the lord did not send reinforcements, with the troops and horses in the city now, Zhang Xun would have been sure to defend the city in the past, but it was different now.
Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, also has such powerful props. This is a very dangerous thing, because Zhang Xun does not have many props in his hand. He is worried that after using up his props, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, will still have such props. The city is in danger.
Fortunately, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, did not use props in his siege during this period, so Zhang Xun's only remaining props could be preserved.
Because he knew very well that once the props were used up, the city would fall when it was breached.
Ji Ling's soldiers and horses have been wiped out. If there are no more reinforcements, once Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, has more tools than him, the city may be in danger.
It is for this reason that Zhang Xun is extremely hopeful that his lord can send reinforcements again as soon as possible.
Now it is impossible to defeat Sun Ce's troops, the little overlord of Jiangdong, without reinforcements.
What he was worried about was whether reinforcements would be sent?
Although he told everyone that the lord would definitely send reinforcements, he only said this deliberately to stabilize the morale of the army. However, even he did not know whether reinforcements could really be sent.
At this moment, Zhang Xun was extremely hopeful that his lord should send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise the city would really be difficult to protect.
The most important thing is that once Huainan loses the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, only Shouchun's 40,000 soldiers and horses will be left, and there will be no counterattack.
While Zhang Xun was deep in thought, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and soon, a soldier hurried in from outside the door.
"General Zhang, my lord has sent a messenger."
Hearing this, Zhang Xun's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "Please come in quickly."
Soon, as the words fell, a soldier walked in from outside the door. When he saw Zhang Xun, he cupped his hands and said, "General Zhang, this subordinate has brought a letter from the lord, please check it."
While he was talking, the messenger handed over a letter.
Zhang Xun hurriedly took the letter from Soldier D and couldn't wait to open it and check it.
After reading it, Zhang Xun frowned and waved his hand to the messenger, "You go down and rest first."
After the messenger exited the room, Lei Bo couldn't wait to ask, "General Zhang, what does the lord's letter say? How many reinforcements will be sent, and when will they arrive?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xun's expression changed, and then he waved his hand and said slowly, "My lord stated in the letter that there are not many soldiers and horses in Huainan now, and things are in crisis everywhere, so we can't send more troops for the time being. Let us take precautions." We must defend to the death and never let the troops of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, pass by."
"No reinforcements?"
When everyone heard these words, they couldn't help but be stunned. When they reacted, their expressions suddenly changed and they all exclaimed.
"General Zhang, are you telling the truth that there are no reinforcements?"
"General Zhang, how is this possible?"
"General Zhang, doesn't my lord know the situation here?"
Zhang Xun heard everyone's words and shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't say any more, everyone. This is what the Lord's letter said. Without reinforcements, let us defend here strictly. We must not let the troops of Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce pass. .”
At this point, Zhang Xun's expression became serious, "If we let Sun Ce's troops pass, everyone will be guilty!"
"What?"
Lei Bo's face changed, "General Zhang, how is this possible? If there are no reinforcements, how can we stop the troops of Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce?"
Le nodded, "Yes, with our current strength, we can only barely hold on to the city and want to block the troops of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong. How is this possible?"
Zhang Xun shook his head and said loudly, "Stop talking, this is the order. If anyone dares to disobey, he will be punished immediately."
Lei Bo smiled bitterly and cupped his hands, "General Zhang, we also know that we shouldn't be timid, but the situation is here now, and there is nothing we can do!"
Le then stepped forward and said, "General Zhang, why don't you write a letter to the lord, explaining the situation here, and asking the lord to send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will not be good!"
After hearing what everyone said, Zhang Xun suddenly sighed, "Everyone, it's not that my lord doesn't send reinforcements. You should also know that there are only 40,000 troops left in Huainan. How can we send troops? If we really send troops, once again, If you are ambushed, wouldn't it mean that you have no soldiers to use?
At that time, once Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce's troops arrive in Shouchun, what can they do to resist them? "
Lei Bo cupped his hands and said with a wry smile, "General Zhang, as long as the lord sends reinforcements, we will defeat Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce's troops here, so there is no need to defend Shouchun!"
Zhang Xun naturally knew that what he said made sense, but since the lord had given an order, he could only obey it.
"One Sword Dominates"
Thinking of this, Zhang Xun said slowly, "You don't need to say any more, this matter has been settled like this, and there is no need to mention it again in the future."
