Chapter 866: Yizhou Raiders
Thank you for the reward from the False Silent Son!
More than ten days ago, Sun Ce led the elite of the Fifth Army and 30,000 navies, a total of 80,000 troops, to land on the relatively flat ground of a beach in the southwest of Yizhou, and then the army set up three camps nearby with their backs to favorable terrain.
Subsequently, Sun Ce sent an army of 30,000 to march to the three nearby tribes in three directions.
A day later, Sun Ce personally led 10,000 elites in an open grassland with the three tribes united army to start a big battle, although the tribal soldiers performed very bravely, but in just an hour, the three tribe army with extremely poor equipment and no battle formation at all was annihilated by Sun Ce's 10,000 foot soldiers.
This made Sun Ce, who thought that he was going to encounter a vicious battle, very unhappy.
Just as nearly 10,000 tribes were fleeing in a hurry, another 20,000 elites outflanked from both flanks blocked their way.
When the tribal leader saw the sudden appearance of a terrifying army of 20,000 black-clothed and black-armoured, he couldn't help but feel as if the sky had fallen, but just as they were waiting for death to come, they waited for the envoy of the Wei army. About an hour later, the remnants of the nearly 10,000 tribal army, led by their respective leaders, surrendered to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce ordered the captives to be escorted back to the camp, and that night, Sun Ce sent a flying pigeon message to Chang'an.
On the issue of how to deal with the prisoners, Sun Ce had a dispute with Xu Shu, the former insisted on keeping these prisoners in order to prevent trouble, while Xu Shu believed that these three tribes had been defeated by their own army, and it was best to win the hearts of the people by gentle means at this time.
Neither side could convince anyone, and the dispute continued, and in the end, Sun Ce ended the dispute by relying on his position as the commander of the Eastern Expedition.
"Major General, you are arguing with Xu Junshi like this, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Sun Ce's confidant Sun Fu was a little worried in private.
Sun Ce disagreed. "What's wrong!"
"Major General, aren't you worried that Xu Junshi will report to His Majesty behind his back?"
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said calmly: "Who do you think of Xu Shu?" Xu Shu can win His Majesty, look at it differently, how can he be a villain who hurts people with hidden arrows? Come and see if there is such a villain around Your Majesty? β
There was a pause. "The dispute between me and Xu Shu is only about this matter, and nothing else! Don't live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! β
Seeing what else this cronie of his wanted to say, Deng Shi said unhappily: "I don't want to hear about this!" You shut up! β
Sun Fu was helpless, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
At this moment, the guards came to report that Xu Junshi was coming, and as soon as the words fell, Xu Shu came in in a hurry.
When Sun Ce saw Xu Shu, he smiled and stood up. Clenched his fists and asked, "Lord Xu, you won't come to argue with me again, will you?" β
Xu Shu replied: "Although I don't approve of the general's approach!" But now that the general has decided, I won't be wordy anymore! However, please ask the general to indicate his position in the biography to His Majesty! β
Sun Ce nodded, and said, "I will!" β
Xu Shu paused, and arched his hand at Sun Ce: "General, I am here to discuss the next action with you!" β
Sun Ce nodded and said, "That's what I mean!" He immediately ordered his soldiers to put together the sand table reflecting Yizhou in the big tent.
Sun Ce and Xu Shu came to the sand table. Sun Ce pointed to the mountain range in the middle of Yizhou and said, "In the interruption of this mountain range and to the east of it is the largest tribe in Yizhou, the eastern tribe of Yizhou. It is said that there are more than 50,000 soldiers, and there are several large tribes in the north of the mountain range! Lord Xu. What do you think? β
Xu Shu said: "You should do something to the east of Yi!" β
Sun Ce nodded, "Same as I thought!" β
Xu Shu said: "On the one hand, we should send envoys to lobby the northern tribes to divide them and the eastern tribes, at least delay their support for the eastern tribes, and at the same time make a posture of attacking the eastern tribes head-onγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Xu Shu paused intentionally and looked at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce smiled: "The military advisor must have a backhand, right?" β
Xu Shu smiled, and his finger drew an arc around the sea below Yizhou Island from the place where the army had landed before. Eventually stop on the East Coast.
Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he high-fived and said, "Wonderful! Coup! β
Xu Shu stood up straight and said indifferently: "Since the general has no objections, then without further ado!" β
Sun Ce immediately decided: "Okay! I'll do the things about the transfer of troops! β
Xu Shu said: "Of course, I will do this mission!" β
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Yi Nan is the leader of the northern tribe of Yizhou. Although he is very young, he has the support of the whole clan.
Yi Nan paced back and forth in his wooden building, looking very hesitant, just now the envoy of the Wei army came, and explained the intention, what Yi Nan and the others did not expect was that the other party did not look arrogant as imagined at all, but seemed very easy-going.
At this moment, not only Yi Nan felt a headache and hesitated, but the heads of the tribes in the north of Yizhou were also like him.
At the same time that Xu Shu's right-hand man launched a lobbying offensive, Tai Shici led 30,000 Wei troops to advance to the east of Yi with great fanfare.
The eastern part of Yi was extremely nervous, and hurriedly mobilized all his forces to concentrate in the fortress in front of the Wei army, and at the same time sent envoys with a large number of gifts to the northern tribes, which had not been looked down upon in the past.
The Wei army arrived at the eastern part of Yi and landed in front of the fortress in the central mountain, but did not immediately launch an offensive.
Facing the Wei army in front of them, the tribal army in the fortress couldn't help but feel a heavy pressure, and many people were secretly praying.
Tai Shi Ci looked at the marching sand table in the big tent, as if he was thinking about something. There were several generals standing next to him, all of them eager to try.
Tai Shi Ci raised his head and glanced at all the generals, and several generals immediately straightened their waists, and their eyes shone with a look of longing.
Tai Shi Ci smiled, "What? Can't wait? β
One of the generals clenched his fists and said, "General, we have rested for a day, and we can launch a strong attack!" β
Feelings, they thought that Tai Shi Ci did not give the order to attack the city because he was worried that the army would be tired and the attack would be unfavorable!
Tai Shi Ci glanced at several other generals and asked, "You think so too?" β
The generals nodded together, and then Hong Sheng pleaded: "General, please give the order!" I'm going to take the fortress in one go! β
Tai Zhongci said unhappily: "To make a war strategy, the military advisor and General Sun have already agreed with the general!" All you have to do is obey the order! β
Several generals exchanged glances and clenched their fists together, although they were very curious about the strategy in Tai Shici's mouth, but they didn't ask anything, they understood what their responsibilities were. (To be continued.) )
