With Zhao Yun's efforts, South China Sea is still in his hands, and it's not yet time to burn.
In fact, Liu Ke hoped that Sun Ce would retreat in the face of difficulties, which would save a lot of time.
After hearing the news of Cao Cao's army's defeat, Sun Ce looked to the north and sighed three times.He was rarely so lost, and now his mood was second only to his father's death in battle.
The North was defeated one after another, and the South made no progress.
How is this fight going?
"My lord, there are already bad rumors spreading, please come forward to stabilize the morale of the army." Zhou Yu cupped his hands.
"What rumor?" Sun Ce asked.
"It is said that the lord was tricked by the allied forces, and the other allied forces did not fight desperately. On the contrary, the lord became the first bird." Zhou Yu said.
This sentence is not unreasonable, Sun Ce was really tricked to the point of crying.It's just that he is a determined person, so he doesn't care.
Defeating Dongyanghou and Yangzhou is in line with Sun Ce's philosophy.
"Go, go and see the wounded soldiers." Sun Ce said.
When they came to the wounded barracks, Sun Ce consoled them one by one, and finally stabilized their hearts.
However, there will be many such things in the future, so I can't show up every time.
In fact, the most fundamental reason is that Sun Ce did not win the South China Sea.Otherwise, even if the north is defeated, what effect would it have on him?
Sun Ce blamed all of this on himself. Is it worth it to let the soldiers work hard for their own beliefs?
Now, the whole world seems to be under the rule of the Marquis of Dongyang.
Chapter 290: Defeating Han Dang
Recently, Zhang Zhao, the prefect of Kuaiji, suffered from a heart disease.
Han Dang led 3 troops across the South China Sea and arrived in Kuaiji.This group of people did not burn, kill or loot, but they attacked several county towns, causing people to panic now.
Military disasters are absolutely terrifying, and no one wants to live in fear.
But Zhang Zhao had no choice but to stick to Kuaiji City.There were only 2 horses in the city, and some of them were recruited temporarily. Zhang Zhao would never dare to send them out.
Needless to say, the combat power is weak. Once the army is defeated, the entire Kuaiji will fall.Zhang Zhao couldn't bear this crime, so he had to give up the surrounding counties.
Han Dang went down several cities like searching for something, which caused Zhang Zhao's pressure to increase.
Fortunately, Liu Ke had already ordered Tibetan Ba to lead his army to come.
With [-] new troops in his hands, Tibetan Ba is a force to be reckoned with.At the beginning, it was arranged to train in Wujun, but now it is also forced to go to the battlefield.
After the two armies joined forces, Zhang Zhao finally had the courage to resist.
"Prefect Zhang, how's the situation?" Cang Ba rushed over and asked about the situation.
"It's very bad. It is urgent to get rid of Han Dang as soon as possible." Zhang Zhao said, Kuaiji was already relatively poor. After Han Dang's disturbance, wouldn't it be even poorer.
The so-called poor is relative to Guangling County.
As soon as Zang Ba heard it, he knew there was something going on, and said, "What is Zhang Taishou's opinion?"
"Actually, I have already made a plan, but because of the lack of troops, I dare not act rashly." Zhang Zhao said.
"I would like to hear the details." Cangba said respectfully.
"I have stockpiled some grain in Kuaiji City, and I am going to arrange for farmers to pretend to transport it to the South China Sea. When Han Dang hears the news, he will definitely find a way to intercept it. This is our chance." Zhang Zhao said.
"It is indeed feasible." Cang Ba stroked his chin and said.
"Then please trouble the general. I sent someone to release the news of the food delivery three days ago." Zhang Zhao said.
Cangba couldn't help but admire Zhang Zhao's foresight, and said, "It's just that our army has come from a long way, and it's a new army, so can we rest for two days?"
"I'm afraid not." Zhang Zhao sighed, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Fifty thousand troops is not a small number. Han Dang will get the news sooner or later."
Zang Ba thought so too, and now he still wants to rest, which simply failed the situation created by Zhang Zhao.
So the food transport team set off immediately.
Han Dang was also frowning at the moment, and Sun Ce asked him to fight in Kuaiji, but now he is running around like a headless fly, with no strategic value at all.
He has achieved some victories, but it is not painful to the overall situation.
"Zhang Zhao is really an old fox." Han Dang couldn't help admiring.
Suddenly, a scout came to report in a hurry, saying: "General, there is a grain transportation team in Kuaiji City."
"What's the scale?" Han Dang asked.
"There are about 5000 farmers and [-] in the army." The scout replied.
This number is already the limit of Kuaiji.
Why didn't Zhang Zhao shrink back and send troops out all of a sudden?
Han Dang was in doubt, and he thought of a possibility, that is, there was a shortage of food in the South China Sea.
This is good news.
Reminiscent of Nanhai sending more than a dozen waves of scouts to Kuaiji, Han Dang immediately affirmed the matter.
