Chapter 515: Sending troops to Jiangdong 1
Sun Ce dispatched 25,000 troops across the Yangtze River to attack the island Ruxuwu Wharf. He originally wanted to take advantage of Zhang Liao's busy defeating Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops to attack Lujiang, and seize the island Ruxuwu Wharf in one fell swoop, establish a bridgehead for the future Northern Expedition and prepare for the world dominance. He also took the opportunity to drive Daxiong out of Jiangnan and eliminate a major hidden danger of Jiangdong's security. The result of the battle did make Sun Ce's army abandon his armor and lose a lot, and the loss of the generals was not counted. He almost died. In the end, less than 3,000 soldiers were able to escape back to Jiangdong. Sun Ce himself was
With the help of his generals, he escaped from the tiger's mouth, but he could not swallow the pain in his heart. This was also the most severe defeat since he arrived in Jiangdong, and it was also the first time he had suffered a defeat. Sun Ce's miserable defeat this time made the morale of the soldiers of the Jiangdong army depressed. The shadow of failure enveloped the hearts of the soldiers of the entire army. The myth of Sun Ce's undefeated army was completely broken. What made the Jiangdong army most uncomfortable was that although Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, his strength was indeed greatly reduced due to the crushing defeat. He was so angry that he vomited blood. He couldn't bear to take it anymore and made the entire Jiangdong lose his backbone.
Zhou Yu, who had a quarrel with Sun Ce before the war and firmly opposed sending troops to attack the Big Bear, was angry by Sun Ce. After Sun Ce's defeat, he was ill and his confidence was severely hit. He could not make a turn for the time being. Zhou Yu did not care about his personal face. Seeing Jiangdong's lifeless look, he put aside his differences with Sun Ce and went to Sun Ce's official residence to visit him as soon as possible.
Zhou Yu was originally a very talented person in the world. He led his troops to fight in the world and was incomparable to others. He used tricks and made three strategies in one step. He was among the top ranks of the world. The Battle of Red Cliff has been famous for his broad mind forever. He was famous for his generous life and was very respected. It was not like Luo Da described in his writing, saying that Zhou Yu was not a gentleman? What are the false statements such as Zhuge Liang's anger that Zhou Yu was so angry that he was just a beautiful image of Zhuge Liang.
Zhou Yu walked into Sun Ce's bedside and saw that the person who used to be energetic, strong and powerful, and had a very good body now turned yellow and in a trance, and looked terminally ill. Zhou Yu felt very uncomfortable when he saw this and said in a very peaceful tone: "Bo Fu, don't think about it anymore. Failure is the mother of success. Failure is not scary, what is afraid of is that if you fall down from now on, you will be done. You are a hero of the world. When you encounter any difficulties and setbacks, you must summarize the reasons and stand up as soon as possible. This is what the real hero does. Now that the people of Jiangdong are panic, the entire army is shrouded in the shadow of failure, the whole Jiangdong has lost its backbone. Since you are the backbone of Jiangdong, you must stand up strongly and stand up.
Besides, it is not a shame to lose the army to Lu Ziyi. Who can be his opponent in the world? Just talking about weapons and equipment, our army cannot compare with him. Even the soldiers' individual combat capabilities are also different. The soldiers' training level and combat quality are also stronger than our army. General Zhang Liao has experienced many battles, and has never suffered any kind of experience or war, and fighting on the northern grassland should be more dangerous than his counterattack this time.
He survived the difficulties and also made the reputation of the poisonous wolf. You cannot give up on yourself for the defeat of this battle. It is already very difficult for you to lead us to conquer the three counties in just a few years. How many people in the world can do this? You should recover your illness as soon as possible, cheer up your spirits, and take on the burden. We are all watching you. You cannot let all of us down, let alone disappoint the people of Jiangdong, and let the soldiers be disappointed."
After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce was moved to tears and ashamed. "Gongjin, I regret not listening to your good advice, and even losing troops and losing more than 20,000 Jiangdong disciples were killed. These were all the consequences of my stubbornness and perseverance."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu knew that it would be too late to say anything. He still had to cheer up his spirits and gain a foothold in this chaotic world after strengthening his strength. Everything else is nothing but a vague thing. "Bo Fu, now is not the time to blame himself. You must cheer up as soon as possible. This time our army took the initiative to attack Lu Ziyi and formed an unfamiliar enemy with Lu Ziyi. Based on my understanding of Lu Ziyi, although Zhang Liao's army won, he would never give up and he would definitely retaliate against our army. Our army had to be guarded. If Bo Fu was not cheered up, what should I do if Lu Ziyi sent a large army to kill? Lu Ziyi has always been the principle of not offending me, and I would not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will definitely offend him. This time he was attacked by our army for no reason and must return it to my Jiangdong Army ten times."
Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this question. If Big Bear really sent a large army to fight, how would the current Jiangdong army resist? Only by allowing soldiers to gain morale and revitalize their confidence can they have a chance. I can't be depressed anymore. "Gongjin, do you think Big Bear will retaliate against our army? He only has 20,000 troops in Lujiang. This time, he faced our army and Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops, and the losses should not be small! What did Zhang Liao use to attack us? Could Big Bear really mobilize the army to migrate to Jiangnan?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yu shook his head, why couldn't Lu Ning mobilize the army to Jiangnan? Besides, Zhang Liao's 20,000 army also saw how much loss it would have. Will it really be like you said? "Bo Fu, with the information sent back from our army in Shouchun and Lujiang, Yuan Shu's 100,000 army was completely wiped out by Zhang Liao. It is said that General Xu Sheng, under Zhang Liao, led 5,000 Feixiong soldiers to capture Hefei city and more than ten county towns, and led the army to kill under the Shouchun city wall, which scared Yuan Shu half dead. If we use this analysis and research, although Zhang Liao fought on two sides, his casualties were very limited.
He only dispatched 100,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry against Yuan Shu; all of our troops were the 5,000 naval soldiers under his command. The casualties of naval soldiers were the generals of our army after our army returned, saying that the soldiers under General Ling Cao suffered very little losses. If this is the case, Zhang Liao lost no more than 5,000 soldiers in the entire battle, and he now has at least 15,000 elite troops, and Lu Ziyi would definitely increase his troops in Lujiang. Especially when Yuan Shu got offended him again this time, can he swallow his anger? He will definitely react strongly."
After hearing this, Sun Ce knew very well that Zhou Yu’s analysis was nothing wrong. The next step was to strictly prevent the Big Bear Army’s revenge. Only God knows what the end result would be. Now he doesn’t care about so many things now. He can only take one step at a time. "Gongjin, this time I have really experienced the excellent weapons and equipment of the Big Bear Army, the high combat power of the soldiers, and the good combat qualities of the combat are not comparable to our army. I now know how big the world is. There are people outside of people, there are too many capable people. I am indeed a frog in the well and I don’t care about the people of the world. This is also the root of my failure this time. Gongjin is relieved. I will cheer up as soon as possible, take on the responsibilities I should fulfill, and will be responsible to my brothers, and to the people of Jiangdong. I will never let everyone down."
Sun Ce's physical injuries were not serious, mainly due to the pain deep in his heart and the disappointment in consciousness. Once he adjusted his heart, the real injuries were indeed healed very quickly. As the saying goes, the injury was good for the treatment, but the heart disease was difficult to treat. Over the past few days, the civil and military officials under Sun Ce saw that his lord seemed to have changed his lord, and he was full of energy, talking and laughing, and restored the style of the little overlord of Jiangdong. The Jiangdong civil and military officials who saw it were very happy. After all, this is the lord they knew and admired, and such a lord was also worthy of leading them to move forward.
In the base of Ruxuwu Wharf, Zhang Liao, Xu Sheng, and Ling Cao all led the victorious army to return triumphantly. Whether it was the soldiers of the Feixiong Army, the soldiers of the Brutal Bear Army or the soldiers of the Shaolong Army, everyone was smiling. They used their sabers to teach the enemy who dared to invade and fought back against Yuan Shu and Sun Ce with practical actions. The Big Bear Army's advantage is not so easy to occupy. If they dare to invade again, they will also have the ability to destroy the enemy who invade outside their jurisdiction, and will also let the enemy who invade corpses and souls fly out of the sky. Don't think about returning to their hometown again. This is the outcome of the enemy.
The officers and soldiers in the entire Ruxuwu Wharf were having fun together, and the atmosphere was warm, and they were celebrating the fruits of victory after the war. The officers and soldiers were eating and chatting. They were talking about their own battle situation, exchanged their experiences of killing people, and rubbing their killing skills. When they talked about interesting things, everyone would smile happily. When they talked about nervousness, everyone's heart was undecided. Some soldiers killed many enemies and stood attentively and made great contributions, while those who made little contributions would be envious of them. After all, the Big Bear Army
Soldiers are all judged by their military merits and rewards and punishments. As long as you can stand at attention and make great contributions, you will definitely receive huge rewards and promotions. So much so that the soldiers of the Big Bear Army are very brave in fighting, never merciless when they kill people, and will not be ruthless. Just like a demon descending, everyone is an executioner who kills people without blinking, a butcher, and an extremely cruel barbarian. A murderous aura can make the opponent's feet sluggish and weak, and can make the enemy feel worried.
Zhang Liao, Xu Sheng, Ling Cao and many schools, officers of the lieutenant stood up to toast the soldiers, and got into a group of them. Everyone drank a sea of food. Many soldiers fell down unknowingly because they were happy. Zhang Liao also brought the generals back to the tent to continue drinking. This victory was indeed hard-won, with a huge gap in force, and it was a two-sided effect. Not only did they repel Yuan Shu and Sun Ce's two-way army, but they were also basically annihilated the invading enemy, allowing the enemy to throw away their armor and keep their souls in a foreign land.
The next day, Zhang Liao summoned Xu Sheng, Ling Cao and his subordinates to hold a meeting to discuss whether to retaliate against Sun Ce's despicable and shameless behavior. Although the casualties of the Big Bear Army soldiers in this two-sided battle were not very large, there were casualties after all, especially fighting against Sun Ce in the Yangtze River, causing hundreds of naval soldiers to lose. This was something that Zhang Liao could not bear. The training of the naval soldiers was very difficult. It was not possible to train a strong and fierce elite army in about two years. In addition, after the battle, the warships needed to return to the Navy's Seventh Battalion on the North and South Changdao for maintenance and inspection. Otherwise, who would know what accident would happen in the next battle?
