Liu Feng ordered the thirty-first army to reorganize the prisoners in Xiapi City and improve the organization of the army. Then he led the troops south to Jingchu and fought a decisive battle with Soochow.
So the Han army settled down.
On the other side, Liu Bei, who was chased hard by Dong Cheng and fled south in a hurry, crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at Dantu County.
Dantu County is just a small county under the rule of Jiangdong, and it is not worth talking about. But at this moment, it is undoubtedly a safe place for Liu Bei.
On this day, the red sun is in the east, north of Dantu County and on the south bank of the Yangtze River.[
There was a large army that was resting and reorganizing. This army looked in a sorry state. Most of the soldiers were disheveled, and some even had no weapons.
The flag is crooked and the momentum is gone.
This was the defeated army led by Liu Bei. When they left Xiapi, they had about 30,000 defeated troops. Later, they were pursued by Dong Cheng, and only 10,000 or 20,000 were left.
At this moment, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Dao gathered together to discuss the next way.
"I thought that Cao Cao, a heroic man, died at the hands of Shuzi in the end. I was surprised." Liu Bei sighed deeply.
"well."
Everyone also sighed and suddenly became speechless.
"Brother, please forgive me. Now, when you shouldn't lament Cao Cao, you should still think about the future." After a while, Guan Yu said.
Speak sincerely.
"Yes, brother. Now we have less than 20,000 soldiers, and they are all defeated. We really have no momentum. Although Sun Ce has the Yangtze River, he is not strong enough. Even if we unite, we are not as good as Liu Feng. It should be time to make a calculation.
"Zhang Fei also said.
"No matter how you argue, it is your destiny to unite with Sun Ce. As for how to defeat the enemy, it all depends on the state of Wu. I have always heard about Jiangdong Zhou Yu's intelligence, and I hope he can find a way."
Liu Bei sighed when he heard this.
Immediately, he calmed down his expression and said solemnly: "No matter what, we must announce the news to Sun Ce first. Cao Cao has been defeated, and now Liu Feng's only enemy is Soochow."
"promise."
Next to him, Chen Dao made a promise and went down to send someone.
"If Liu Feng goes south, he must go through Jingchu. Let's go to Jingchu first and join Sun Ce to fight against Liu Feng." Immediately, Liu Bei ordered.
"promise."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both agreed.
Then, the four men mobilized the horses and led the defeated troops to the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.[
As for food and food, they will be supplied by the counties along the way. Liu Bei is not worried.
Jingzhou, Jiangling, and the public security area.
It was an important water area where the Han and Wu armies faced each other. Liu Feng was campaigning eastward against Cao Cao and mobilized the Sixth Army of Fazheng and Zheng to go north as reinforcements.
This greatly weakened the military strength of Lu Su, the most difficult general of the Han Dynasty.
The offensive and defensive deficit immediately changed.
During this period, Lu Su reduced his troops and focused on guarding Jiangling. However, the Wu army was arrogant and repeatedly invaded counties and counties, killing Han officers and officials.
Now, the situation in Jingzhou is not good for the Han army.
However, although the Wu army was strong, neither Lu Su nor Sun Ce cared much about it, because what they cared about was not Jingzhou, but the war situation in the east.
The main battlefield is still in the Central Plains, and it is still the fight between Liu Feng and Cao Cao Liu Bei.
On this day, the gate of Wu Jun's water village in the north of the Public Security Bureau was opened. A large number of Dongwu boats entered the water village. Soon after, the water village was closed.
Zhou Yu walked out of it.
On the other side, Sun Ce also rode over.
"How is the battle going?" Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu.
"Lu Su still didn't go to war and just guarded Jiangling. This time, as usual, I just killed some officials and robbed some people."
Zhou Yu sighed and said.
At this moment, Zhou Yu was deeply impressed by the forbearance of his friends, Lu Su and Lu Zijing.
In order to keep the city intact, he acted like a turtle and did this. Lu Su, really.
"Alas." Sun Ce sighed.
However, this kind of thing happened a lot. After the two sighed, they said nothing more and rode back to the police city together.
When the two of them entered the city and arrived at King Wu's Farewell Palace in the center of the city, they were immediately surprised.
Because, in front of the palace gate, stood a knight, covered in dust and looking very haggard.
"Where did it come from?" Sun Ce asked in a loud voice.[
"But King Wu is in front?" the knight asked.
"Exactly." Sun Ce said.
"The young one is Liu Shijun's subordinate, and he was ordered to bring news from the east." The knight revealed his identity, and then said: "Cao Cao was defeated. Now, everything north of the Yangtze River is the land of Liu and Feng."
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had already noticed something strange when they saw this knight. Otherwise, Sun Ce wouldn't have asked urgently.
But when they heard the news, the two were still stunned.
"Boom."
It was like thunder on the ground, exploding in the ears of the two of them, making them buzz. Cao Cao was defeated, still defeated.
This is actually a sign.
When Cao Cao lost Yanzhou, when Soochow had to deal with the inner ring of Shanyue and could not send troops, there were already signs.
But now, now.
"well."
After being shocked for a long time, Zhou Yu let out a faint sigh.
Cao Cao was defeated, and Liu Feng's enemies were only Soochow. However, Liu Feng occupied nine-tenths of the world's territory and population.
The advantages are too great, too great.
If at this moment, Jiangdong still occupies the natural chasm of the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu might not be able to help but persuade Sun Ce to surrender to Liu Feng.
"Where is Commander Liu? How many troops are left?" Sun Ce responded quickly and asked with concern.
"My lord is currently in Dantu County, with less than 20,000 troops left," the knight replied.
"Less than 20,000." Sun Ce's body trembled again. Liu Bei raised 30,000 troops and marched into the Central Plains to help Cao Cao.
Now that Cao Cao has been defeated and Liu Bei's troops are less than 20,000, what should we do?
"Gong Jin."
Sun Ce finally became paralyzed. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Bo Fu, don't panic, we still have the natural moat of the Yangtze River to use, and we still have 100,000 elite troops to send out. We should spread our boats widely, sail across the rivers and lakes, and fight to the death." Zhou Yu said in a low voice.
"good."
When Sun Ce heard this, his heart suddenly cheered up, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Liu Shijun should be on his way to the police. Bo Fu should send someone to tell Liu Shijun to give him an advantage. Recruit elite soldiers in the counties along the way. Make up the army to 30,000, and then come back again."
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu said again.
"good."
Sun Ce nodded heavily again.
Immediately, these orders were issued by Sun Ce.
The entire power of Soochow began to move.
And Zhou Yu began to make calculations. Currently, the Wu army has 50,000 elite troops in Gong'an, and 70,000 elite troops in Jiangdong. In addition, Liu Bei can have 30,000 elite troops.
A full 150,000.
Coupled with the powerful naval force and the natural chasm of the Yangtze River, he should be able to compete with Liu Feng.
Thinking about it, Zhou Yu gradually gained some confidence.
Success or failure has not yet been determined, and it is not yet known who will win.
