Many children from aristocratic families who participated in the opposition forces began to come out to appease the people, and quickly filled in and controlled important institutions and critical passes in Kuaiji.
Sun Ce defeated Wancheng, lost his troops and generals, and fled in panic; the opposition in the hinterland of Jiangdong rose up, captured Kuaiji, and directed his troops towards Wu County!
For a time, internal and external troubles arose in Jiangdong, and the Sun family's foundation seemed to be in turmoil in an instant!
...
Chenliu County, Hussar General's Mansion.
Guo Jia suddenly received a secret message from Jiangdong today. He found an excuse to skip work from the county governor's house, and then hurriedly hid in his room.
Regarding the matter of sending Zhao Xue to Jiangdong, Guo Jia never mentioned it to anyone. He actually just wanted to cause some trouble for Sun Ce and did not hold out much hope.
"Could it be that my eyesight is dazzled?" Guo Jia opened the secret letter and hurriedly read it, then rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it, so he read it again carefully, word for word.
This time, Guo Jia read almost every word in the secret letter. Finally, he determined, "The world is starting to go crazy..."
"Sun Ce raided Lujiang and was ambushed. He lost nearly half of his troops and returned in defeat. The interior of Jiangdong was empty. The opposition took the opportunity to raise troops and captured Kuaiji..."
Guo Jia stared, obviously still a little bit out of breath from the shock, "Zhao Xue and that Liu Ye...how can they do this?"
Because the content recorded on the letter was limited, it only stated the results achieved and did not explain the detailed process.
Even Guo Jia was shocked by Zhao Xue's great achievements, "I'm afraid Sun Ce will not be able to recover for a year or two... Can we take the initiative to look for opportunities to start a war with Yuan Shao?"
Guo Jia walked back and forth in the room, his mind like a high-speed CPU, frantically calculating what kind of situation he would encounter if he went to war with Yuan Shao, what kind of results he would achieve, etc...
This thought lasted from noon to evening.
When Guo Jia came back from his thoughts, he realized that it was almost dark.
Can't wait!
Guo Jia found Lu Yan who had just returned from get off work, picked him up and ran outside.
Lu Yan was a little confused for a moment and asked, "Fengxiao! I just got off work. If I want to drink, I have to wait until I change my clothes, right?"
"Drink some wine from Hammer! Come with me to Xuchang quickly. I have something extremely important to report to my lord!"
"You can just go by yourself. Why are you dragging me along?"
"It's getting dark and I don't dare to go alone. Only if you protect me can I feel at ease."
"..." What Guo Jia said made sense, but Lu Yan was speechless.
Lu Yan didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he was dragged to the stable by Guo...
Although he was very reluctant, Guo Jia was rarely in such a hurry.
Lu Yan knew that Guo Jia must have obtained some incredible information, so he suppressed his reluctance and accompanied Guo Jia to Xuchang overnight and knocked on the door of Boss Cao's bedroom.
...
In November of the second year of Jian'an, Jiangdong.
Kuaiji County has changed into the King's Banner, and there are various flags on the city walls, representing the various forces in the uprising.
Now is the period when their careers are on the rise, and with the Lu family's prestige supporting them, this group of people is relatively united, each performing its duties and working conscientiously.
But the human heart is never easily satisfied.
It was originally agreed upon that after they captured Kuaiji, they would take advantage of the emptiness in Jiangdong to build a solid defense first, and then act based on the development results.
As a result, after this group of people discovered that Sun Ce had been on an expedition to Lujiang for nearly two months, but still no news had come back, they actually started to take the initiative to attack Wu Commandery.
As a result, the internal calls for war against Wu County in Kuaiji began to gradually grow louder.
After all, Ding San and Ding Si did not have enough prestige to suppress this group of people.
Under the joint request of more than a dozen force leaders, they were forced to agree to attack Wu County.
Guying
In fact, even if they don't agree, these dozen leaders will go out to fight on their own, so it would be better for him and others to take the lead, at least with some peace of mind.
There are almost more than 10,000 people in the garrison of Wu County, but there is a military master here, Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce lost contact and Kuaiji County was lost. This series of blows caused all parties in Jiangdong to lose their sense of proportion.
Only Zhou Yu remained as stable as Mount Tai, patrolling the military camp every day to check the defenses, so everyone gradually calmed down.
"Report! The rebels led by Lu, totaling 30,000 troops, are on their way to Wu County!"
Xiao Qiao, who was accompanying Zhou Yu, visibly trembled.
Zhou Yu gently patted the back of Xiao Qiao's hand and comforted her in a warm voice: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
"Yes." Xiao Qiao's nervous mood calmed down instantly. At this moment, she felt extremely at ease in her heart.
After several expansions and reinforcements, the county seat of Wuxian County is no less than an ordinary fortified city in terms of scale and defense.
Ding San and Ding Si led the army to Wu County, the seat of Wu County. The gates on all sides of Wu County were closed, the suspension bridge was hung high, but there was not a single defender on the city.
Just when Ding San was puzzled, someone shouted: "Zhou Yu's defenders only have ten thousand or eight thousand at most. What are we afraid of him doing? Just attack the city directly!"
"That is, we divide our troops into four groups and attack from all sides to see how many people he has to defend him!"
"As the art of war goes, surround three towers! We should let go and give Zhou Yu's defenders a glimmer of hope, so they won't defend to the death!"
"That makes sense!"
Not to mention, most of these leaders come from aristocratic families, have been educated since childhood, and their minds are indeed relatively flexible.
Ding Si came to Ding San and asked softly: "Third brother, I always feel that something is wrong in the city. Why don't you take it easy for now?"
When a leader heard Ding Si's words, he immediately shouted dissatisfied: "Fourth General, are you too timid?"
"That's right! We now have an army of 40,000 people. Are we still afraid of Zhou Yu's guard of thousands of soldiers and horses?"
"If you are afraid, I will never be the pioneer!"
"Xue is willing to be the first to board!"
"Li please fight!"
The crowd was so excited that Ding San and Ding Si could no longer stop it.
"That's it, let's divide our troops into four groups and attack the county as quickly as possible to capture Zhou Yu!" Ding San finally compromised.
Seeing that Ding San agreed, the group of leaders each looked for partners and divided into four groups. However, no one came to look for Ding San and Ding San, as if they wanted to eat alone.
"A bunch of guys who are unjust for profit... Third brother, why don't we withdraw!" Ding Si felt angry in his heart.
Ding San sighed and said: "But the mission assigned to us by the captain cannot be ignored and let them attack. We can just do this all the way..."
Ding Si wanted to say something more, but in the end it just turned into a sigh.
"Fight in and capture Zhou Yu alive!"
"Go in and capture Xiao Qiao alive!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Accompanied by shouts of death, four groups of nearly ten thousand people rushed towards the city wall from the other three gates, and used escalators to set up on the moat and cross the moat.
At this moment, a soldier who fell into the moat by mistake suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with the smell of the water.
After careful identification, the soldier suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream: "Fierce oil! The river is full of fierce oil!!!"
Before he finished speaking, countless archers suddenly stood up on the city walls in all directions.
They set up their bows and arrows, and shot the arrows burning with blazing flames towards the city and into the moat!!
"boom!!!"
There was a loud explosion, and the surrounding area of the county instantly turned into a sea of flames!
