War!
Time flies, and three days have passed in a blink of an eye. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past three days, Zhou Fan's Quartet army was still launching a fierce attack on Shang Cai, and Yuan Shu and Ji Ling, who were directly pressed, were out of breath.
For this reason, even Yuan Shu, who was bent on ascending the throne and becoming emperor, could only temporarily put down the matter of becoming emperor and concentrate on dealing with the Quartet Alliance.
Since there is a war, then casualties are inevitable.
However, to everyone's surprise, the biggest casualties were not either of the four sides of the siege, but Yuan Shu, who belonged to the defense of the city, suffered the most losses, which also shows how far the morale of Yuan Shu's army has fallen now, if it weren't for Ji Ling's strong pressure to suppress it, I'm afraid that Yuan Shu's army would collapse first.
On the side of the allies, the heaviest losses were on the side of Wenpin, at least 5,000 people died under the city wall these days, which made Liu Biaojun, who originally had not many soldiers and horses, even more of a sense of overwhelm.
has no strength, and wants to take down Shang Cai, in this case, he will not lose anyone, and this is also the situation that Zhou Fan wants to see the most, the best is that Liu Biao's remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses all died in Shang Caixia, so how much trouble he will have at that time.
As for the rest, although Lu Bu's losses were not small, they were similar to the usual situation, so Zhou Fan didn't pay too much attention to them. But the situation on Sun Ce's side in the last three days made Zhou Fan feel confused, because it was too calm.
When Sun Jian was not injured, the momentum of the siege was so fierce that you can imagine how fierce it was, the title of Jiangdong Tiger was not for nothing, and even Zhou Fan was full of praise for that indomitable momentum.
And after Sun Jian was seriously injured and Sun Ce led the troops, the momentum was not weakened at all, but became more violent than before.
This is normal, Sun Ce has just replaced his father to lead the army, so he naturally wants to make a difference. Otherwise, how to convince the army, coupled with the injury of their commander, will arouse the morale of the army, and it will have such a performance.
But these three days. It's too calm, although Sun Ce still led the troops to attack the city, but it was a little fighting, and he no longer had the momentum of dying before, it felt more like Zhou Fan. Unhurriedly stalling there.
And this situation is nothing more than two situations, one of which is the same as Zhou Fan, who is not interested in Shang Cai, so naturally he will not make a big deal against Shang Cai.
But obviously, this situation is unrealistic, if Sun Ce was not tempted by Shang Cai, he would not have tried his best to win Shang Cai before.
In this way, there is only the second situation, that is, Sun Ce has absolute certainty about winning Shangcai, and he doesn't care about the gains and losses in the past few days.
Let's be honest. Zhou Fan couldn't guess what way Sun Ce could win Shangcai, but this was the only explanation, Zhou Fan really couldn't think of the second possibility.
"Gongda, filial piety, what do you think Sun Ce is planning?" Zhou Fan tapped the table with his right hand, looked at Xun You and Fa Zheng and asked.
Zhou Fan naturally did not forget the siege of the city, but in the past few days, Zhou Fan has directly handed over these things to Lu Yi to be responsible, and he himself has stayed in the camp, anyway, he is pretending, but he doesn't have to come forward. And if you don't care about it, you can confuse the other party if you can't sleep.
"Senior brother, I think this Sun Ce is probably preserving his strength, after all, Sun Jian has not recovered from his serious injuries. If he continued to attack at this time, Sun Ce would not be able to bear this loss. Fa Zheng said.
In his opinion, Sun Ce is still a teenager in the end, that is, he is only two years older than himself, and he may be above Sun Jian in terms of martial arts, but in terms of mentality. I'm afraid it's still a lot worse than Sun Jian, and I don't have Sun Jian's courage.
Zhou Fan smiled slightly and said, "Xiaozhi, I'm afraid you underestimated Sun Ce." ”
"Oh?" Fa Zheng let out a little curious and looked at Zhou Fan.
"Although I only have a few sides with Sun Ce, I know him better, he and Sun Wentai are carved out of the same mold, and even better, filial piety, if it is Sun Jian now, will he preserve his strength at this time?" Zhou Fan asked.
Belch! Fa Zheng was speechless for a moment.
As for the answer, there is only one, of course not.
With Sun Jian's character, that is, he is indomitable, and he doesn't know what it means to retreat, how could he give up a great opportunity to preserve his strength at such a critical moment.
"Lord, these days, Liu Bei and Sun Ce are relatively close." Xun You said.
"Hmm!" A fine light flashed in Zhou Fan's eyes and looked at Xun You.
Xun You said slowly: "According to the report from the spies, Liu Bei personally visited Sun Ce once three days ago, and after that, Sun Ce stopped attacking the city with all his might, and Sun Ce also went to Liu Bei's camp several times in the next few days, as for what he did, it is unknown." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Fan's mouth also hung a smile, which was also very clear, his senior brother Liu Bei, I am afraid that he has already found Sun Ce, whose strength has been damaged, and joined forces with him, but Zhou Fan is not surprised by this.
If Liu Bei wants to reap the benefits, he naturally has to choose a side, and Sun Ce, who has undoubtedly lost Sun Jian, is the best target.
In this way, Sun Ce's abnormality in recent days is afraid that it has nothing to do with Liu Bei, but what makes Zhou Fan puzzled is that just a little Liu Bei, just a little bit of soldiers and horses, what kind of waves can be turned over.
"Lord ......" At this time, Meng Yu walked in.
"How is Sun Wentai's injury?" Zhou Fan asked.
Zhou Fan is still very concerned about Sun Jian's injury, a seriously injured Sun Jian and an intact Sun Jian are completely different things.
"Lord Qiqi, what is the ancestor, said that he didn't need me to treat Sun Jian, and called me back!" Meng Yu said a little depressed, he worked tirelessly to see Sun Jian and change the dressing, but he didn't even see the patient, so he was taken behind closed doors and driven back directly!
A fine light flashed in Zhou Fan's eyes, and his eyes waited for Meng Yu tightly.
Zu or something, needless to say, it must be Zu Mao.
But Zu Mao actually refused Meng Yu to see Sun Jian, which is really intriguing.
The military doctor in Sun Jian's army, compared to Meng Yu, it is simply a heaven and a earth, otherwise Sun Ce would not have come to beg him at that time, if there was no Meng Yu, it would still be a question whether Sun Jian could survive at that time.
And now Zu Mao has rejected Meng Yu, if you want to say that Zu Mao wants to kill Sun Jian, this is absolutely impossible, then there is only one possibility, Zu Mao is afraid that he is hiding some secret, Sun Jian's ulterior secret. (To be continued.) )
