Chapter 1575 : Chapter 791: Sun Ce Hears the Wind and Retreats (2)
Sun Ce has been waiting for this opportunity for many years.
He first sent troops into Jiangxia, then attacked Gong'an and Jiangling, and destroyed Liu Pan's forces in the Chu State. In this way, his power increased greatly, and he could challenge Cao Cao.
As a result, the expected east wind was defeated first. How can we live in Jiangdong? Should we continue to attack Shouchun? With Lu Su beside us, we can't take it for a while.
When the Han Dynasty sent troops over, with more reinforcements, it became even more difficult to win. To be honest, according to Jiangdong's strength now, he would just fight the autumn wind behind Cao Cao. If he collided head-on with the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, Sun Ce would not be able to win.
Very willing.
It's not that Sun Ce is afraid because he has lost too many times. It's because Jiangdong has a small population and a large number of troops. He really can't lose too many troops. The two sides are locked in a deadly fight. As a result, both sides suffer losses, and he can't clean up the mess.[
But Sun Ce still couldn't make up his mind. It was really shocking to him to walk away in such a dejected manner. He also seemed too weak.
Sun Ce's camp, inside the Chinese army's tent. Sun Ce was sitting high on the commander's seat, and below him were Zhuge Jin, Gu Yong, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other civil servants and generals.
Everyone was silent and looked ugly. Especially Sun Ce, whose expression was unpredictable, like a revolving lantern.
After Zhang Zhao left, Gu Yong held the most important position and sat closest to Sun Ce. Seeing Sun Ce's dark change, Gu Yong knew that this Wu Hou had actually decided to retire.
However, I was concerned about face and couldn't make a decision for a while. I had to give him a step down, otherwise it would be difficult to retreat all at once.
"Marquis Wu, the Shouchun City is now strong and united, and it is really impossible to attack it for a long time. There are many mountains and mountains in Jiangdong. If the mountains suddenly rise up and attack the city at this time, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. I think it is best to return to Jiangdong and prepare the troops.
Horse, first cross the mountain, stabilize the interior, and then fight again." Gu Yongxiang thought for a step, then took a deep breath, raised his fist and said.
This step is still barely adequate. It's not that we are leaving in vain, but that there is an internal problem.
Now that the situation is like this, Jiangdong's retreat is inevitable. Everyone above and below is thinking the same thing, but they are too embarrassed to speak first.
Now Gu Yong spoke and gave a step, which immediately aroused the response of most of the civil servants and generals in the tent.
"What Mr. Yuan Tan said is true. Compared with Shouchun, Jiangdong is where the foundation of Wuhou lies. If the foundation is unstable, how can we dominate Yangzhou? It is time to withdraw our troops."
"This is exactly the reason. Now that the Han Dynasty is reviving, the situation has changed drastically. We must retreat to Jiangdong first, cross the mountains inside, stabilize Jiangdong, work hard to govern, and strengthen our military strength. Seize the southeast to observe the changes in the north."
At this time, the eloquence of the generals was not good, but the civil servants spoke in the same way, one after another.
"Marquis Wu, the territory of Jiangdong is limited and the internal situation is complicated. It is really unstoppable. Let's retreat first." At this time, a helpless voice sounded.
Everyone looked around, but it was Han Dang, the only remaining veteran. His words were final. It wasn't that they didn't want to fight, but that the situation was no longer good.
"Okay, let's retreat." Sun Ce finally made up his mind, nodded and said. Although he said it nicely, he really ran away.
Facing the increasingly powerful Han Dynasty, Jiangdong has become more and more difficult. Apart from the geographical advantage, it is difficult to gain the upper hand.
