Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 489 Sun Ce Withdrew His Army, Cao Shuo Planned Jiaozhou



"Let the rocket!"

Following Tai Shici's order, rockets shot all over the sky towards Zhou Yu's warship.

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers on the big ship also started to fight back.

"Rush over!"

Tai Shici personally led the team, and hundreds of warships rushed into Zhou Yu's fleet like a gust of wind behind him.

Seeing that Tai Shici had succeeded, Gan Ning immediately ordered his soldiers to charge forward.

The two sides fought until late at night before they stopped fighting. When they returned to the water village in Spring Valley, Tai Shici and Gan Ning counted their soldiers.

Originally, the two together had more than 6 soldiers and horses. After this war, there were only more than 3 soldiers left.

More than half of the warships were lost, and there were only three giant warships left!
However, they also knew that Zhou Yu's losses would definitely not be less than theirs.

Dong Xi asked, "Should we continue to deal with Zhou Yu?"

Tai Shici shook his head, the loss was a bit too great, "If we continue to fight, it may be cheaper for Liu Biao. Zhou Yu has already been driven to Tongling and Guichi by our navy, and he has already won. There is no need to lose more brothers. .”

Gan Ning said: "Zhou Yu was indeed a handsome talent. I didn't expect that we would fight with us when the battleship had the advantage."

At this moment, Ling Cao escorted Sun Ben to the big tent, seeing Sun Ben's expression of displeasure, Gan Ning kicked him up.

Sun Ben's pain from being kicked by Gan Ning was unbearable, and he kept crying.

Dong Xi asked: "How to deal with this bastard? Did the lord say anything?"

Tai Shici said: "My lord is just chasing Sun Ce. I'm afraid I don't have the time to take care of this side. We will temporarily garrison here until Li Dian from Jiangbei mobilizes the army, and then our navy will launch a general attack on Zhou Yu."

After Sun Ce's army withdrew from Wanling, they were killed by the Xuanjia Army and the Tiger Guards along the way and fled here and there. When they arrived in Tongling City, there were only more than 3000 cavalry left.

"Damn Cao Shuo!"

Standing on the city wall, Sun Ce looked at the three thousand tiger guards outside the city, his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and his whole body was trembling.

He deployed nearly [-] troops in Danyang County, but was wiped out by Cao Shuo's entire army.

Lu Su said with a tired face: "My lord, it's not suitable to stay here for long. Gong Jin has mobilized enough warships along the Yangtze River, and we have to leave as soon as possible."

Sun Ce glanced at the cavalry resting in the city. They were too tired to move anymore. If they left the city at this time, they would definitely not be able to outrun Cao Shuo's cavalry.

However, Cao Shuo's soldiers are slowly coming here. If they don't leave at this time, they will be surrounded in the city, and it will be difficult to leave if they want to.

"Look, my lord, the cavalry coming from the west seems to be our troops."

Sun Yi pointed to the west, where a cavalry force of no less than 5000 men was galloping towards here.

Sun Ce was surprised. The leading general was actually Zhou Yu. He was not defending Cao Shuo's navy on the Yangtze River, so why did he come here?

"Gongjin!"

Sun Ce yelled, and Zhou Yu from the city replied, "My lord, get out of the city quickly. Li Dian, the prefect of Lujiang County, has led an army of [-] across the Yangtze River. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

Sun Ce was shocked, and hurriedly let his soldiers jump on their horses. Just as they were about to leave the city, Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Zou Dan and other generals led three thousand tiger guards and more than 4000 Xuanjia troops to attack Zhou Yu. cavalry.

"Rush out of the city to help Gongjin!"

Zhou Yu can't stop these fierce generals, Sun Ce can't beat Zhou Yu here no matter what.

Dian Wei and others chased Sun Ce and Zhou Yu all the way to the Yangtze River. Seeing Sun Ce lead hundreds of people aboard the warship, all the soldiers laughed at each other.

"Hahaha, Jiangdong Xiaobawang is nothing more than that!"

After Zhou Yu led the fleet to withdraw from the Yangtze River in the Tongling section, Dian Wei and the others led a large army and chased along the bank to the junction of Danyang County and Yuzhang County, and east to the county.

Further on is Pengze Lake, and there is no need for them to chase it down. It is full of traps, and if they chase it down, they may suffer heavy losses.

Cao Shuo led the army to Dongzhi County, and summoned his men, Wenwu, to discuss how to lay out the south of the Yangtze River.

Cao Shuo looked at Jia Xu and said, "The war in Yangzhou is over, and the soldiers who have meritorious service must be rewarded. Wenhe will be in charge of this matter."

"promise!"

"The six counties of Yangzhou, including Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, Kuaiji County, Wu County, and Danyang County, have all been captured by our army. Next, I need to carefully consider the candidate for the prefect."

"The strength of Liu Biao and Sun Ce still cannot be ignored. Although Sun Ce lost soldiers and generals in this battle, he did not hurt the root cause. He still has 10,000+ troops in Yuzhang County and thousands of warships."

"And our navy has also lost a lot. The situation in the south of Kuaiji County is unstable and there are many mountains. The navy there should not be transferred back for the time being."

Cao Shuo looked at Gan Ning and continued, "Take back the fleet from Sanhan, half of it will stay in Qingzhou, and the other half will come to support here."

"promise!"

If Cao Shuo remembered well, he left behind ten giant warships in Sanhan, and twenty or thirty building ships, which were in preparation for the invasion of Wa Kingdom.

However, the shipyard on Sanhan's side has already been built, and there is no need for so many warships to guard against water thieves for the time being.

"Li Dian, I appoint you as the prefect of Lujiang County, and Li Zheng, I appoint you as the prefect of Danyang County. The two of you must guard the Yangtze River for me, and prevent Sun Ce's soldiers from entering our territory again."

"promise!"

"Gan Ning, Tai Shici, He Qi, and Lu Jun led [-] sailors to build a water fortress in Wanshui to prevent Sun Ce and Liu Biao's navy from raiding Danyang and Lujiang counties!"

"promise!"

Cao Shuo looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, I will make you Yangzhou Shepherd, and you will be in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou!"

"promise!"

Cao Shuo looked at his generals and decided to keep Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, Yan Xiang, Yu Fan, and Kan Ze to follow Zhang Liao's orders.

Jia Xu asked: "Your Majesty, there are still several counties in the south of Kuaiji County that have not been captured. Are we going to send troops to attack?"

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Wenhe, don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Cao Shuo took out a map of Jiaozhou just sent by Jin Yiwei, put it in front of everyone and said: "This is the map of Jiaozhou sent by Jin Yiwei. In order to prevent Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Sun Ce from attacking Jiaozhou, I decided to send a large army Attack Jiaozhou."

The few remaining soldiers who had not been assigned duties suddenly became interested. The Central Plains had stabilized the situation, and it would be even more difficult to get credit for it.

But this south is a new area. If it can be captured, it will definitely be a big contribution.

"The final general is willing to go!"

Yu Jin, Le Jin, Dong Xi, Ling Cao, Zhang Xiu, Zou Dan and others stood up one after another.
