There are people in Changsha City who are in turmoil, and Sun Ce will naturally not let go of this good opportunity. Then it should be combined with the inside and the outside, and take Changsha lightly. said that Cao Hong ran all the way to Luo County, and happened to meet Li Dian who was patrolling outside. Li Dian greeted him and said, "Zilian, what happened?" ”

Cao Hong gradually became ashamed, and said: "Mancheng, Sun Ce took Yuzhang, sneaked into Changsha, and made people deceive, luring my troops out of Liling, I was caught off guard, and the army was defeated and came here. Changsha, Changsha has been owned by Sun Ce. ”

Li Dian was also shocked when he heard it. Sun Ce actually sneaked to Changsha County? This is a big deal and must be reported immediately. As for Cao Hong's defeat, Li Dian felt that it was strange to be undefeated if he was undefeated. It's the same with him. At that time, Cao Hong was welcomed into Luo County, and people were sent to the north to rush to Nanjun to deliver the letter.

When he arrived in Luo County, Li Dian said to Cao Hong: "Zilian, Sun Ce has arrived in Changsha, and after stabilizing the situation in Changsha, he will inevitably raise troops to the north." Luo County and Hanshou are in danger. ”

When Sun Ce arrived in Changsha, the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang had the backbone, and it was strange that Sun Ce did not fight Luo County and Hanshou at that time. Originally, the war burned to Jingnan, forcing Jingnan's forces to be unable to aid Jiangxia in the north. It's good now, because of the loss of Changsha, Yangzhou saw the threat and attracted Sun Ce, the big boss.

Just when Cao Hong and Li Dian were reporting to Nanjun, they were discussing how to defend Luoxian and Hanshou and prevent Sun Ce from controlling the Dajiang defense line. Jiang Xia's side, something happened.

Sun Quan brought soldiers and horses, under the banner of Sun Ce, and traced the river. Originally, this army was pretending to be the main force to attract the attention of Cao Jun, and then cover Sun Ce's elite troops.

As a result, Cao Jun was really attracted. However, it was said that the previous Lejin and Zhao Yan got the order of General Cao Ren, went out of Jiangxia from Xiangyang, joined Xiahou Yuan, and attacked Xiling together.

Xiling is the county of Jiangxia, although now Jiangxia soldiers and horses are stationed in Xiakou, but Xiling is a county town for hundreds of years, the defense is tight, and the three generals have surrounded Xiling for a long time, and they can not pull out. Just when the three generals surrounded Xiling and attacked day and night, suddenly an important piece of information came, saying that Yangzhou had begun to increase troops again, and Sun Ce led an army of 20,000 to go up the river from Xunyang all the way to Jiangxia.

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but look worried, and said: "The battle of Jiangxia today has become a stalemate. Sun is here again, adding more variables. The reason why I abandoned Yuzhou was because Meng De wanted to get Jingzhou ears quickly. If you don't have Jingzhou, you will have to pay for it for several years. ”

When Le Jin and Zhao Yan heard this, they were also related and empathetic. In terms of the overall strategic direction, there is no problem with Cao Cao's decision-making. In the case of being unable to contend with Liu Bei, a strong neighbor in the north, choosing to give up Yan and Yu to seize Jing and Yi is undoubtedly a very wise choice. Now Yizhou has succeeded. But if the battle for Jingzhou drags on for too long, then it will really be a little uneconomical.

If you grab the land, you don't have to pay taxes right away. You also have to keep devoting resources to post-war reconstruction work, reassure the people, stabilize social order, and resume production and construction. A whole lot of things to do. This is also the reason why Cao Cao did not come out after he arrived in Yizhou. There are all kinds of big and small things that bind him.

Therefore, if they compete for Jingzhou as soon as possible, they will be able to recover their vitality as soon as possible, and they will be able to have more capital and confidence to compete with Liu Bei. But on the other hand, if Jingzhou is captured today, Liu Bei will come over tomorrow, what is the point of this?

In fact, Cao Cao and Sun Ce have already realized this problem, and the two are constantly raising, which is the best illustration. Le Jin frowned tightly and said, "Xiling can't be attacked for a long time, what can I do about it?" ”

Zhao Yan said: "I have a plan, it is better to leave a general here, set up a camp, erect more flags, and deceive the army." Then the main force moved east, sneaked to the territory of Qichun, and raided Sun Ce. If Sun Ce can be broken, Jiangxia will have nothing to do. ”

Xiahou Yuanteng stood up, his eyes were full of wonder, and he laughed: "Not bad! Bento so! I have also heard the name of Sun Lang for a long time, and everyone says that his courage is not inferior to his father. I should try it myself! ”

Then he ordered Zhao Yan to lead his troops to besiege Xiling, and together with Lejin, he led the army eastward and sneaked to the bank of the Qichun River to wait for a good opportunity. Those who marched with Sun Quan were Chen Wu and Dong Xi. The two are actually the actual commanders of the army. Sun Quan knew that he had few opportunities to exercise independently like this, so along the way, he also asked Chen Wu and Dong Xi a lot of advice.

Because they are Sun Ce's younger brothers, Chen Wu and Dong Xi did not dare to slack off, what they knew and could say was naturally everything they knew and said. On the river, the river wind blows, and it is against the water, so the boat travels very slowly. The river is turbulent, and the eyes are vast. Sun Quan stood outside the cabin, looking at the infinite rivers and mountains, and silently said in his heart, the emperor of heaven is above, and my Sun family has to pass on the national seal, and he should inherit the luck of the Han Dynasty. If my Sun clan is prosperous, this trip will defeat the Cao clan and win Jingzhou. Father, blessed by the Spirit of Heaven.

Because of the strong north wind, the fleet all walked on the shore and did not dare to go to the center of the river. After the pheasant, there is Qi Chun ahead. Sun Quan entered the cabin and said to Chen Wu and Dong Xi: "How difficult it is to go against the current, since you have entered Jiangxia, why don't you abandon the boat and go ashore?" ”

Chen Wudao: "Zhongmou doesn't know, according to Jiangxia intelligence, Xiahou Yuan led the elite to ride across Jiangxia, Gongjin and Cheng Gong were in Xiakou, and the troops were tense and could not be controlled. If I go ashore, I will be disturbed by it. And there are a lot of supplies on board, so although the waterway is slow, I will not abandon it. ”

Sun Quan couldn't help but be silent when he heard this. He knew that what Chen Wu said made sense. But I was still quite dissatisfied in my heart. Yangzhou's waterways crisscross the city, but it lacks cavalry. The geographical environment is one thing, the war horse is one thing, and the training of knights is also one thing. The training of cavalry is a systematic project. It's not that if you have money, you can have cavalry.

Since Sun arrived in Yangzhou for so long, he spent an unknown amount of effort, and he raised such an established elite horseman, and this time he was taken to Changsha by Sun Ce. In Yangzhou, the most outstanding is the sailor. If nothing else, if you recruit soldiers, nine out of ten will know water. Half of them can handle boats. Such a cheap sailor can be trained to save trouble, effort and money. Naturally, it is necessary to make the most of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. Moreover, Yangzhou has been facing military pressure from Guan Yu in Xuzhou for a long time. Therefore, tilting resources to the water division, and then holding the defense line of the river, naturally became Yangzhou's top priority.

It's just that Sun Quan is really unhappy in his heart. If even Xiahou Yuan's cavalry didn't dare to face it, would Yangzhou really have any hope of defeating Cao Cao and capturing Jingzhou?

A lot of things once you take it for granted. That's really the end of it. If all the people of Yangzhou feel that they are good at water warfare and not good at cavalry warfare, then when they encounter the enemy's cavalry, they will naturally be a little afraid. When the time comes, when a war breaks out, this psychological effect will be exploited by the enemy. This truth, Chen Wu and Dong Xi are in the game, but Sun Quan can not see it.

However, Chen Wu and Dong Xi were the leading generals, and Sun Quan didn't have much to say.
