Chapter 1574 : Chapter 791: Sun Ce Hears the Wind and Retreats (1)
Chapter 791: Sun Ce retreated after hearing the news
Among all the heroes in the world, Yuan Shao was far from the only one who was frightened by the news.
The Northern War in Yangzhou only lasted for a period of time, but during this period, Sun Ce had already led his troops to attack Shouchun, with 40,000 troops coming out, including a cloud of fierce generals.
On the side of the Han army, General Jushu defended Shouchun and sent people to Xinye for help. Lu Su's army arrived and slowly approached Shouchun.
After approaching Shouchun, they stopped advancing and were ten miles away from Shouchun City and Sun Ce's camp, confronting each other.[
The weather was a little gloomy that day, and it was drizzling. The rain was really too small, and it fell down, and all it could do was moisten the earth.
The city wall of Shouchun is stained with blood, and there are traces of swords scratching everywhere, which is very tragic. The continuous drizzle cannot wash away these tragic traces at all.
Not only the city, the city head, but also the distance between the city and Sun Ce's camp was tragic.
On the city, Jushu led his soldiers and generals to patrol the city wall, with a solemn look on their faces. From time to time, they looked at Sun Ce's camp not far away. When they saw Sun Ce's camp, there was no movement.
Jushou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile to the generals behind him: "After successive attacks on the city, both sides suffered heavy casualties. It seems that Sun Ce also wants to take a rest."
"Hahaha." The generals laughed and were quite happy when they heard this.
"Not only that, General Lu Su's attack may also affect Sun Ce. Although General Lu only set up his camp ten miles away, the invisible threat is a huge stone. I am afraid that our General Sun Ce will eat
Don't swallow it." A general who was well versed in military affairs then laughed.
"That's right. General Lu is indeed a great military strategist. He just sets up a battle formation but can affect the situation of the battle. I admire him very much." Jushou smiled slightly when he heard this and nodded affirmatively.
"The situation in the south has stabilized, and it will be difficult for Sun Ce to break through for a while. Next, let's see how the king's general defeats Cao Cao." Not long after, Jushou looked up to the north again, full of confidence.
"Cao Cao will be defeated." The generals shouted one after another.
At the top of Shouchun City, Jushu and many of his subordinates were full of confidence. However, Sun Ce's camp in the south was in a different situation. After successive attacks on the city, why did Sun Ce suddenly stop attacking at this time?
Is it really for Lu Su? Yes, Lu Su and others stayed nearby, neither attacking nor supporting, which indeed put great pressure on Sun Ce.
However, what Sun Ce is not afraid of the most is challenge. Moreover, he has an advantage of 40,000 troops. Even if he separates two troops and attacks Lu Su's camp at the same time, Shouchun will not be a problem at all.
But why did Sun Ce stop? The reason was something that neither Ju Shu nor Lu Su could have imagined. To be cautious, Liu Feng guarded Xu Du so impregnably that he did not even send spies. He himself got the news two days late.
Not to mention the distant Shouchun and Xinye.
Now Liu Feng was holding a celebration banquet in Xudu, but the news was still on the way. However, Sun Ce did not have that kind of distress. He obtained the information at a normal speed.
Cao Cao was defeated and retreated. What kind of situation would this have on the world? Just as Yuan Shao thought, if the Han Dynasty is restored, all the princes in the world will be unwilling to do so.
On a small scale, Sun Ce was also very unhappy. Because Cao Cao retreated, it was equivalent to their failure. You must know that this time they took advantage of Cao Cao's opportunity to send troops, and they were fighting against the autumn wind.
