Looking at the deserted Liu Jun camp, Cao Cao was full of joy. At the same time, he was also disappointed. Science and Technology Shennong Quanfang read. Liu Jun retreated so decisively, which made Cao Cao feel very admired. Indeed, for a The camp that has lost its function is indeed not suitable for a head-on fight with Cao's army.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to pursue this group of Liu Jun, but they quickly disappeared from Cao Jun's sight and were nowhere to be found. This made Cao Cao only smile bitterly. However, the more this happened, Cao Cao began to pay attention to Liu Jun's advisers. He became more and more curious, and wanted to know what kind of talent Liu Jun had invited.
But now that Liu Jun has disappeared, Cao Cao does not continue to dwell on this matter. There are many more important things now. Taking Liu Jun's camp does not mean victory in the battle. If he wants to do it, Liu Bei will not be able to turn over again. .
After capturing Liu Jun's camp, Cao Cao's army began to rest and recuperate. Now Cao Cao's army did not have many soldiers, so Cao Cao had to wait for Zhao Fei to lead Cao Jun's reinforcements before he could launch an offensive against Liu Jun. After all, Cao Cao still knew himself, and he naturally knew that with his It is difficult for soldiers to conquer a guarded city.
While Cao's army began to recuperate, Chen Dao hid in the woods and did not know what to do. He realized that there must have been an accident when his lord led his army to attack Cao's army, otherwise Cao's army would never have acted like this.
But the problem is that Chen Dao has no idea what happened on the front line, so he does not dare to easily send people to search for Liu Bei and others. However, if the troops are withdrawn now, if something unexpected happens to Liu Bei, then he will definitely not Chen Dao had no chance to rescue him, so Chen Dao was in a dilemma at this time.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Dao decided to look for Liu Bei. Liu Bei had not contacted him for so long, which proved that Liu Bei's situation was definitely not much better at this time, so he went to look for Liu Bei. He could give his lord something. assistance.
With the decision made, Chen Dao led all the soldiers towards the north. His first purpose was to find Liu Bei, and then what happens next depends on how Liu Bei arranges it. After all, Liu Bei is the lord.
It was hard for Chen Dao to think that it was precisely because of his decision that he and the soldiers under his command escaped disaster. Because just when Liu Bei was thinking about Cao Cao's idea, there were naturally people who were paying attention to him.
Huainan under Liu Bei's command can be regarded as a fat one. Although the people of Huainan were in dire straits when Yuan Shu was here, under Liu Bei's gentle policy, Huainan's economy and people's livelihood have recovered well.
Liu Bei's performance gave him a very good reputation in Huainan, which was also an important reason why Liu Bei was able to command all the lands in Huainan in a very short period of time.
However, Liu Bei's actions were naturally noticed by others. As the situation in Huainan gets better and better, they will naturally pay attention to him. After all, troubled times are a world where people fight for strength, and every human resource is very precious. , so naturally some people will not give up such territory.
Liu Bei's own strength did not support him in commanding such a large territory, and when Liu Bei led almost all his soldiers to attack Cao Cao, his station immediately became a hot spot, and the undefended territory was favored by others. of.
Of course, they did not act rashly. After all, they did not want Liu Jun's army to suddenly arrive when they were attacking the city, so they naturally had to wait for Liu Jun and Cao Jun to stalemate, and then easily capture Huainan, allowing Liu Bei to return. Aid has no effect.
Liu Bei didn't know that his territory was now being planned by the enemy. But even if Liu Bei knew, there was nothing he could do. After all, Liu Bei no longer had any troops at this time.
Knowing that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were fighting a bloody battle, and that Cao Cao's army was approaching the battlefield, Sun Ce, who had planned for a long time, had to take action. If Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei, Cao Cao's army would definitely attack him directly. Huainan, by that time, Sun Ce does not think that his current strength can compete with Cao Jun.
His time is limited, and Sun Ce has no plan to completely occupy Huainan. His purpose of attacking Huainan is to take advantage of the situation. Although Liu Jun has a good record now, he is the opponent of the powerful Cao Cao, so Liu Bei's defeat is absolutely foreseeable. .
But now, neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei have time to take care of Huainan, so they have a lot to do. Liu Bei is no match for Cao Jun, so Huainan will fall into Cao Jun's hands soon.
After he captures Huainan, he can plunder as much as he wants. Whether it's population or food, Sun Ce will never leave anything for Cao's army. Therefore, he now has to race against time to capture the most territory in the shortest time. , and then take away anything you can from these places.
With the decision made, Sun Ce began to take action. Now that Sun Ce's strength had greatly increased, and because he had planned for a long time, Sun Ce mobilized a large army of soldiers early to prepare to attack Liu Bei's territory.
Liu Bei's soldiers were naturally very aware of Sun Ce's actions. Of course, they also knew that with the strength of Liu's army currently staying in Huainan, they were definitely no match for Sun Ce, so they hurriedly asked Liu Bei for help.
However, although Liu Jun's request for help was sent out early, Liu Bei was already overwhelmed at this time. Not only had the camp been captured by Cao Jun, but even Liu Bei was like a lost dog, panicking.
Amid everyone's expectations, letters asking for help seemed to fall into the sea. Liu Jun did not wait for Liu Bei's return of reinforcements, but instead waited for Sun Ce's army to launch a fierce attack.
Liu Bei mobilized most of the soldiers, but a mere county town was no match for Sun Ce's army. Therefore, within a short period of time, Sun Ce's army captured the city in front of them.
After taking the city, Sun Ce began to plunder. The purpose of his trip was food, grass and population, so Sun Ce would never give up any time, so after conquering the city in front of him, Sun Ce began to plunder.
After Liu Jun's soldiers heard the news, although he was very angry, they had no choice. Now that it was not enough to defend the city, they did not have the strength to recover the city.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of Cao's army could only watch Sun Ce's army plundering the enemy, but there was no way to stop it. After plundering a city, Sun Ce immediately tasted the pleasure of plundering, and nothing could happen faster than this.
After tasting the pleasure of plundering, Sun Ce found it even more difficult to stop. He wanted to conquer more cities in the shortest possible time, and then continue to plunder everything in these cities.
Under Sun Ce's thoughts, Sun Ce's army suddenly turned into an army of locusts. Wherever they went, there was no grass growing, which brought dire consequences to the people of Huainan.
In order to resist Sun Ce's invasion, the people of Huainan spontaneously organized to resist Sun Ce's invasion. It was precisely because of the participation of the people that Sun Ce's invasion slowed down a lot, which angered Sun Ce somewhat.
Sun Ce himself has an irritable and violent personality, so after he learned that these ignorant people actually united to resist him, his murderous intention suddenly increased. For Sun Ce, who was addicted to robbery, these people were nothing but himself. It's just goods.
The goods actually dared to resist, which made Sun Ce deeply angry. Naturally, he raised his butcher's knife towards these unarmed people. Originally, Sun Ce's purpose was just to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and to serve as a warning to others.
However, as the news of Sun Ce killing the captured people spread, his name suddenly became synonymous with devil in the hearts of the people in Huainan, and precisely because of this, the resistance of the people in Huainan became even more intense.
From the perspective of the people in Huainan, their lives were undergoing huge changes before Sun Ce came. After Yuan Shao was destroyed, the emperor's uncle Liu Bei took over Huainan, which gave the people of Huainan hope for life. However, this hope did not last. Not long after, the demonic Sun Ce came.
The people's resistance became more and more fierce, and many people who were escorted back to their own territory by Sun Ce even started rioting. This made Sun Ce's mood understandable. At first, he wanted to kill to stop the killing, but this idea But he was stopped by Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was Sun Ce's best friend. The two had been close since, and at the same time they married Er Qiao, who was known as a national beauty, and became his brother-in-law. If there was anyone in Sun Ce's army who could dissuade Sun Ce, it was Zhou Yu.
At first, Zhou Yu did not dissuade Sun Ce because he felt that the matter was not serious. They were just a few common people participating in the defense of the city. Of course, they can only be said to be symbolic people. Since they took up arms to participate in the defense of the city, these common people They are your own enemies, so kill them.
But a series of events that followed were indeed something Zhou Yu did not expect. He did not expect that the people in Huainan hated the self-army so much. Their resistance was obviously beyond imagination, which caught Zhou Yu off guard.
Fortunately, he stopped Sun Ce's strong tactics in time. If he really followed Sun Ce's temper and killed him, he would know what would happen.
It is absolutely impossible to use strong tactics now. Since we have made up our minds to plunder the population, we cannot let the entire population reject the self-soldiers. If that is the case, what the self-soldiers will plunder will not be resources, but disasters.
Although Sun Ce seemed a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's stoppage, he still listened to Zhou Yu's words. After all, Zhou Yu's assistance played a vital role in his current achievements, so for Zhou Yu, Sun Ce absolutely You can trust him, he will definitely not harm you.
After Zhou Yu intervened, he immediately adopted a gentle policy to deal with the people who had been captured by Sun Ce's army. The people were so simple. As long as they had enough to eat and there was still hope of survival, they would definitely not rebel easily.
It was precisely because of Sun Cejun's grain release that the people in Huainan had a different view of Sun Cejun. After that, Zhou Yu tried his best to order people to promote Sun Ce and establish Sun Ce's glorious image.
Although the effect is very small, it will definitely have some effect if it accumulates slowly. At least, Sun Cejun successfully stopped many people's rebellions.
