On December 4, the fourth year of Taichu, the Jiading boundary was reached.
A slight drizzle floats in the sky, nourishing the grass and trees in the wilderness of the earth. In the wilderness near a hill, a small town is located in the drizzle. Outside the small town, there are many forts and forts.
On the flags on the city wall, there is a general flag with "Sun" hanging on it.
There are also groups of powerful soldiers patrolling the city walls, forming an impenetrable defense line with the surrounding military forts.
In the hall of a mansion in the city.
Many generals took their seats, and from time to time, generals in armor would come quickly from outside, salute to the handsome young man with a short beard, and then sit on the seats on both sides.
"Everyone is here?"
The heroic young man at the head was one of the pillars of the Sun family in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. In the original history, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu were known as the little overlords of Jiangdong.
At this time, his eyes suppressed anger and sadness, and his face remained as calm as possible.
The generals on both sides below are Taishi Ci, Jiang Qin, Dong Xi and others. They are basically his confidant generals who were promoted by him personally.
"General, all generals are here, please give me some instructions!"
General Ling Cao replied.
Ling Cao is the father of General Ling Tong, and he is also the old man whom Sun Ce has followed since his rise in the original world of Huainan. Although his strength is not as strong as Taishi Ci, his status in the army is vaguely equal to that of Taishi Ci.
At this time, he served as Sun Ce's personal guard general, helping Sun Ce handle various military affairs.
Sun Ce nodded and said in a deep voice: "Everyone must be aware of the military information coming from Suzhou. The Huai army's millions are approaching menacingly. Only by gathering all the strength of Soochow can we fight against it!"
"The rhinoplasty is no more than a scabies disease. It's innocuous. This general is preparing to integrate the entire army and withdraw immediately!"
His voice was decisive and sharp.
Many generals on both sides had different expressions. Although they felt a little regretful that they could not completely defeat Liu Bi, they all understood the current situation in Soochow.
"Tai Shi Ci!"
"The general is here!"
Taishi Ci stood up with his hands raised.
Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "I will lead the main force to go north first, and you will lead my troops to cut off the rear!"
"The last general takes command!"
As a general and fierce general who had sympathy with Sun Ce, Taishi Ci naturally obeyed Sun Ce's orders. In the previous battles, Liu Bi could not resist the joint attack of the two of them.
It's just that Liu Bi never fought a decisive battle with them, but instead fought and retreated, constantly abandoning the city, trying to prolong Soochow's food route...
This trick had little impact on the Soochow army.
But the time for Sun Ce to pacify Jiading territory was much longer.
Even Taishi Ci felt a little regretful about withdrawing his troops at this time, but the military order had been issued, so he could only comfort himself. After repelling the Huai army, he must ask his lord for orders to attack Jiading again and destroy Liu Bi.
"Other generals, please go back and prepare!"
After Sun Ce gave the order, he asked all the generals to return to the military camp, leaving only four people, Taishi Ci, Ling Cao, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin.
"Ziyi, when you retire, you must be more careful with Liu Bi's troops. Military information coming from Suzhou mentioned that Liu Yu has sent an envoy to Huzhou. If Liu Bi defectes to Liu Yu and Liu Song's soldiers and horses help, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for us to withdraw our troops!”
Sun Ce said in a deep voice.
"Liu Bi defected to Liu Yu?"
Taishi Ci was silent for a moment, but he did not think of this. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not common for Han clan clans to fight against each other, so he fell into a fixed mindset and did not think of this possibility.
But when Sun Ce said it, he immediately understood.
Liu Bi's ancestor is Liu Bang, and Liu Yu's ancestor is said to be Liu Bang's eldest brother...
According to common sense, Liu Yu only had the surname Liu and was not a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
But in times of crisis, it is normal for Liu Bi to seek refuge with people of the same clan with the same surname Liu.
"The general understands! However, from the general's point of view, even if Liu Bi defectes to Liu Yu, Liu Song's troops will not threaten our army... The Huai army's millions of people are to the north. If Liu Yu is the master, he will I will definitely not sit back and watch the Huai army annex Jiangdong!"
Tai Shici said.
Ling Cao also agreed with this view, "General Ziyi is right, but we must be on guard against others. We'd better take strict precautions!"
Sun Ce didn't say much, he just told the four people the order of retreat and the route they would take.
After these things are said.
Sun Ce's voice suddenly became dry. He waved his hand, stopped talking, and asked them to go down and do their work.
Ling Cao and the others bowed and left.
When Taishi Ci was about to walk out of the hall, he glanced at Sun Ce and moved his lips slightly, wanting to say some words of comfort, but he changed his mind and closed his mouth.
Sun Jian's death in battle was a major blow to the entire Soochow leadership.
For Sun Ce, it was a bolt from the blue.
However, Tai Shici believed that Sun Bofu, known as the little overlord, had a strong heart and would only keep hatred in his heart, turn hatred into motivation, and fight against the Huai army. Never feel depressed or depressed.
"Father……"
There was no one else in the hall, and it suddenly became quiet.
Sun Ce picked up the long sword at his waist and held it upright in front of his eyes. The bright sword body reflected his face. On the bright sword body, he saw his own red eyes.
And the fierce murderous intent contained in the depths of his eyes.
…
December 5th. Soochow soldiers and horses began to mobilize back and forth.
An elite force of 30,000 men began to withdraw northward with the general's flag in hand. The rest of the army also packed up and got ready to march.
At this moment.
A knight galloped and came to the small town.
"Lord, there are a large number of enemy troops in the direction of Haining..."
At this time, Sun Ce was standing on the city wall, watching the retreat of the first wave of elite troops. The first troops to withdraw were led by General Dong Xi. Dong Xi was brave and good at leading troops, so he didn't need to worry.
"A large number of enemy troops appear in Haining? What is the origin of the enemy?"
Taishi Ci, who was beside Sun Ce, immediately started asking questions.
The messenger reported: "According to the report of the scouting horse, it should be the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty. Who is the enemy's leading general? My subordinates have not found out yet..."
"Pry more!"
Taishi Ci looked a little cold and asked the messenger to lead another investigation.
"Unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty would also add insult to injury at this time!"
Sun Ce sneered.
There was no panic at all about the news.
"My lord, the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty are heading north. We should not underestimate them. If our army continues to withdraw its troops at this time, we are afraid that we will be pursued by the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Taishi Ci frowned and said.
The implication of his words was to suspend the withdrawal of troops first and block the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and horses.
"What Ziyi said makes sense, but the army is most afraid of changing orders overnight. The order to withdraw troops has already been issued. If it is changed, the morale of the army will inevitably drop drastically. This is the real danger!"
Sun Ce said slowly.
"The best way to deal with them at the moment is to attack them head-on! Since the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty dare to go north, then I will teach them a lesson! Let them know how powerful our army is!"
"Send the order, let Ling Cao take command of the army, continue to organize the troops and prepare to withdraw."
"Ziyi, you and I will each command three thousand cavalry and rush south to kill him and turn the world upside down!"
