"Hurry! Hurry up! As long as this battle is won, everyone will be rewarded for killing Sun Ce. For those who take off Sun Ce's head, I will personally go to the Lord to claim credit and reward for him!"
The Han army rushed south in a hurry. Zhang Yun rode a tall horse in front of the team and shouted loudly to boost morale.
This is the official road between Jiangling and Maicheng, and Zhang Yunzheng is leading his troops on the way to Jiangling.
"I said, Gong Jin, are we just going to let Zhang Yun go?"
Sun Ce leaned over the grass on the hilltop and asked Zhou Yu casually.
Zhang Yun probably never dreamed that Sun Ce, who was supposed to be attacking Jiangling, was hiding in the mountains and listening to his shouts.
Why does this happen?
Zhang Yun felt that once Jiangling was lost, it would be difficult for the Han army to regain Jingnan and Jiaozhou, and Jinghan would be extremely weak from then on.
From a strategic sense, this is an indisputable fact. Jiangling is so important, but Zhang Yun once again fell into Zhou Yu's trap.
Zhou Yu's goal has never been such a simple thing, but a more arrogant victory.
"As long as Xiangyang is captured and Liu Biao is killed, what reason does the Han army have to continue resisting?"
"Sooner or later, these people who ran away will also be our people. Compared with ambushing Zhang Yun and winning a big victory now, how can Zhang Yun lead his troops to surrender after we take Xiangyang and surrender? Don't always think about fighting and killing. "
"By the way, can you stop throwing grass at my head?"
Sun Ce was concentrating on building a straw nest on Zhou Yu's head, and smacked his lips dissatisfiedly when he heard this.
"I personally disguised you, do you have any dissatisfaction?"
However, the only response to Sun Ce's enthusiasm was Zhou Yu's indifference.
"Zhang Yun's scouts have gone ahead a long time ago. The vegetation here is so dense that they can't be found. And you made the top of my head look like a chicken coop and it's very itchy. So I still have to thank you?"
"You're welcome, who made me your eldest brother?"
Zhou Yu was helpless at Sun Ce's shamelessness. In order to prevent being exposed, he could only slowly remove the things on his head.
He turned around and rolled his eyes at Sun Ce before saying again.
"But I really didn't expect you to agree to my plan so readily."
You must know that it is very dangerous to be cut off from food supplies and escape routes, and it is a great test for the soldiers' psychological quality and morale.
Even if the soldiers could withstand the pressure, in fact Sun Ce did only have a few days of food and grass left, and he was surrounded on three sides by the Han army. The opportunities Wenpin saw were by no means false.
This plan is tantamount to putting yourself in the most dangerous situation, and there is a real danger of collapse if there is a slight mistake.
"Why don't you agree? Such a good idea!"
Sun Ce's eyes sparkled.
Does he really understand the danger involved?
It stands to reason that Sun Ce would understand it best as he has been in the army for many years, but Sun Ce's relaxed and casual attitude always makes Zhou Yu unable to help but feel confused.
Sun Ce's answer made Zhou Yu really don't know what to say, so he paused holding his forehead and sighed softly.
I was always on tenterhooks and felt like a fool.
······
Sun Ce left 2,000 soldiers and horses to pretend to attack Jiangling, and strictly intercepted all news. And he himself took the remaining 8,000 people and sneaked back to the vicinity of Maicheng to join more than 1,000 people from Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci.
Therefore, Sun Ce now had more than 9,000 troops to attack Maicheng, while Cai He, who was stationed in Maicheng, only had 3,000 troops left.
Dense arrows like rain suppressed the city head, and ladders were also placed on the wall stacks. Jiangdong's army reached the bottom of the city.
boom!
boom!
The huge echo seemed to be shaking the city wall. It was the crash car that Taishi Ci's tribe had rushed to knock on the gate of Maicheng.
Cai He was so heartbroken that he thought Zhou Yu and Tai Shici had only a thousand people left and would not dare to attack Maicheng. Zhang Yun allowed him to garrison Maicheng because he sold Cai Mao's face and allowed him to gain military glory for free.
But Zhang Yung had just walked for a long time, what happened to the Jiangdong army in front of him?
Cai He tried very hard to stabilize the situation, but the strength gap between the Han Army and Jiangdong Army was too great. The soldiers were frightened by Jiangdong Army. Maicheng only held on for a few hours before it fell. Cai He fled to Xiangyang early before he fell.
The fall of Maicheng made everything settled.
From now on, the road to Xiangyang will be smooth, and nothing can resist Jiangdong's army!
"Hurry up!"
Zhou Yu was very happy that the battle went smoothly. He and Sun Ce led all the cavalry to Xiangyang first.
"Bo Fu, let's capture Xiangyang before Zi Yuan does. Will he be dumbfounded when he opens the city gate and sees us coming out to greet him?"
"Haha! Gongjin, after you said this, I became interested too. Brothers, let's go, let's take Xiangyang!"
After hearing Sun Ce's words, the soldiers roared excitedly.
"Capture Xiangyang!" "Capture Liu Biao alive!"
······
"Ah~~"
When we arrived at Xiangyang City early the next morning, we could see that the city was already covered with flags of the Jiangdong Army. The scouts reported that the Yulin Army had captured Xiangyang yesterday morning. Zhou Yu smiled helplessly and said in frustration.
"It's still a step too late."
Sun Ce laughed nonchalantly. Looking at Zhou Yu's unwilling expression, it seemed that he had spent the whole night traveling in vain.
"Big brother, second brother!"
Ji Shu rode on a fast horse and led people out of the city to greet him.
I thought that the Han army would be in chaos after receiving the news of Liu Biao's death. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would have to wait four or five days after packing up Wenpin's army and rushing to Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, they saw them arriving at the city gates the day after they captured Xiangyang.
The moment he saw Sun Ce's flag on the top of the city, Ji Shu understood and then shuddered.
Compared with their own sneak attack, they were surrounded by Han troops on three sides and fought their way to the center of Jinghan.
Turning your hands over becomes clouds, turning over your hands becomes rain. I often lament the loneliness. I look down on all living beings without any pride. Ji Shu once again deeply realized that the person in front of him was the person known as a "genius" in this era.
Although he had obviously completed the plan of a surprise attack on Xiangyang, he was still a little unwilling to do so.
"It seems that I still have a lot to learn from my second brother."
Ji Shu was not as calm as he appeared. He stared at Zhou Yu.
Even if it is out of reach, the desire to become a top strategist does not stop. People are usually a lot stupider than they think.
"Haha, what's there to learn from this nerd? If you want to learn from me, you have to learn the heroic spirit of my big brother."
"Humph, you fool!"
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce with his nose.
The three of them burst into laughter.
The road is long and far away, I will search up and down.
When Ji Shu was sighing, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had already walked a few more steps and turned back in front to wave to him to follow him quickly.
"Zi Yuan, even if you beat me this time, it won't be that simple next time."
"Okay! Second brother."
"Haha, Ziyuan, you are fast enough! Gongjin and I originally wanted to rush into Xiangyang City first, and wait for you to open the gate to give you a surprise..."
The three of them drifted away and walked into Xiangyang. From then on, this land fell into Sun Ce's hands.
