Chapter 526: Wasted Effort!

I just looked at the fan list and found that the grape lychee wine girl has become the new helmsman of this book, and I am so happy!!

Just as the Wei army officially launched the Battle of Changsha, Sun Jian in the south actually planned to enter Yangzhou again!

After Sun Jian and Cao Cao made peace, they did plan to take advantage of the opportunity of the Wei army to enter the South China Sea and Jiaozhou, but two days ago, Liu Zhang of Xichuan suddenly sent a secret envoy to contact Sun Jian, and took the initiative to join forces to attack Wei in the north.

Although Sun Jian made peace with Cao Cao, his intention to join forces or go north alone to attack Wei had long been buried in his heart, so he soon reached a secret agreement with Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang agreed to send 80,000 troops down the river to assist Sun Jian in attacking Yangzhou, but Liu Zhang's condition was that after the matter was completed, the Nanyang area would be owned by him.

It was not for nothing that Liu Zhang mentioned this condition, because once the Wei army in Yangzhou was annihilated, then the land of Nanyang, which lacked heavy troops, would inevitably fall immediately.

As for Jing Han, Sun Jian and Liu Zhang also ignored it, or if it weren't for Jing Han's stubborn drag on Cao Wei's army like Xiao Qiang, they wouldn't be like this.

"Father, as long as General Cheng Pu's sailors arrive in Xiakou, our army will be able to attack Yangzhou!"

Sun Ce hugged his fists, looking very excited, he was invincible in Jiangnan, and he was very eager to fight again with the legendary Wei army generals who dominated the world.

Sun Jian smiled. asked Zhang Zhao on the side: "Zibu, is Liu Zhang's army in place?" ”

Zhang Zhao replied: "The 80,000 army is personally led by Zhang Ren, the general of Xichuan. The soldiers went out of Hanzhong, according to the news that came not long ago. Xichuan's army has already gone down the river, if there is no accident, then in a few days, the army of Xichuan Han will attack the border land around Yangzhou! ”

Sun Jian nodded and said in a deep voice: "After Liu Zhang's army launches an attack, our army will attack Yangzhou again!" ”

Zhang Zhao's heart moved, "Wang Shang wants to use the Xichuan Han Army to attract the attention of the Wei Army?" ”

Sun Jian smiled.

Zhang Zhao frowned, and arched his hand: "However, what we said to Liu Biao is this"

Sun Jian raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Zhao's words. A ray of light flashed in his eyes: "The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, besides, Lone did not renegade the covenant, but only delayed the dispatch of troops a little!" ”

Zhang Zhao frowned and nodded.

At this time, Zhuge Jin hurriedly came in from outside, Sun Jian saw Zhuge Jin, and said with a smile: "Forming an alliance with the Xichuan Han Kingdom, Mr. Ziyu has made great contributions!" ”

Zhuge Jin hugged his fists with a look of urgency and said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Yangzhou has changed!" ”

Sun Jian was shocked, and asked urgently, "What change?" ”

"I just came to report it. The Wei army's sailors entered Hongze Lake a few days ago! ”

"What!? The Wei army actually has a water army!? Ziyu, you're not mistaken, right? ”

Not only Sun Jian was incredulous, but Zhang Zhao, Sun Ce and others also showed disbelief.

"What the hell is going on?" Sun Jian frowned and asked.

Zhuge Jin replied: "This naval army entered Hongze Lake from the upstream Shuojiang River, and there were rumors. It is said that nearly two-thirds of the naval divisions of the Han Kingdom in Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao, and it is inferred that the batch of naval divisions of the Wei army entering Yangzhou may have been the naval divisions in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River that were supposed to be in Jingzhou. It is precisely because of this that our detailed work knows about this and gets relevant information! ”

Sun Jian frowned. His face was extremely ugly, and the sailor entered Yangzhou. Don't even think about it, just to prevent him Sun Jian, after all, today, only Cao Cao and him Sun Jian have a water division, as for Liu Zhang, although there are also them, but his water division is not bad, as for the battle, it can only be hehe.

Sun Jian's face was ugly at the same time, he also felt in his heart that Cao Cao deserved to be Cao Cao, and it was really not easy to catch his flaws, Sun Jian nodded to show that he understood, while Zhang Zhao asked urgently: "How many troops does the Wei army naval division have entered Hongze Lake?" ”

"About 60,000, and there are nearly 2,000 warships of all kinds!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank, and Sun Jian muttered: "Such a strong naval division is not much more brilliant even compared to our army!" Even if it's weak, it's not that weak! ”

Sun Jian frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, a little hesitant in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the 60,000 sailors of the Wei army have entered Yangzhou, which has changed the situation of the Wei army in the entire Yangzhou! Even if our army does its best, I am afraid that it will be as difficult to attack Yangzhou in a short period of time, as it was not long ago! Zhang Zhao arched his hand.

Zhuge Jin nodded approvingly.

Sun Jian paused, frowned, and there was a look of unwillingness on his face, at this time, Sun Ce snorted coldly and said: "It is not certain whether the army of the Wei army is as powerful as rumored!" As for the sailors, it's not that I look down on them, the sailors and soldiers in Jingzhou are not as good as my Dawu, not to mention that the people in command are still from the north, and it is a dream for the northerners to compete with my Dawu on the water! ”

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Sun Jian couldn't help but nodded.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince is right! However, I think His Royal Highness the eldest prince will not deny that it is impossible for our army to break through Yangzhou within a few months! ”

Sun Ce frowned and didn't speak, but in his heart he admitted Zhuge Jin's statement, although Sun Ce was conceited, he would never be conceited to the point of thinking that the Wei army was vulnerable.

Zhuge Jin arched his hand towards Sun Jian: "Your Majesty, the main problem at present is not the Wei army in Yangzhou or Yuzhou, but the elite main force of nearly 400,000 Wei troops gathered in Changsha and Jingzhou!" ”

Sun Jian's heart not only moved.

Zhuge Jin continued: "The Wei army is like a broken bamboo in the Changsha area, and now it has formed a siege of Changsha City, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Wei army is only afraid that Changsha will be able to break through within ten months!" At that time, our army was still fighting in Yangzhou Wei Army, and the 400,000 elites of the Wei Army were rolling down the river! What will be the result, I believe that the king knows better than the ministers! ”

Sun Jian couldn't help but be shocked, and at this time, Zhang Zhao stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Please think twice, the king!" ”

Sun Ce didn't speak, frowning, he also felt that the prospects were not optimistic.

Sun Jian thought for a while, sighed a little helplessly, and said, "In this way, we still can't go north!" ”

Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zhao arched their hands together: "That's true!" ”

Then Zhuge Jin continued: "Our army should take advantage of the fact that the Wei army is temporarily unable to go south to Jiangdong to capture Jiaozhou and the South China Sea with lightning speed!" At the same time, expand the sailors to guard against the northern Wei state! ”

"Hmm!"

Sun Jian nodded, sat down on the main seat, and said after a little thought: "Liu Zhang should be informed of our army's plan to abandon the northward advance!" (To be continued......)
