Sun Ce led his troops and retreated to the north of Juiyang City in embarrassment.
During this head count, he lost more than 20,000 people, and now he only has 40,000 horses left in his hands.
Fortunately, because Liu Ke wanted to take over Xinye, he was not so eager to pursue him. Otherwise, not even this few soldiers and horses will be left.
Sun Ce reorganized his troops here and could finally take a breath.
And he got news that Zhou Yu¡¯s army had arrived at Wancheng after several days of continuous travel.
This news made Sun Ce feel very good.
With the addition of Zhou Yu, his military strength will increase instantly, and he will not be at a disadvantage even against Liu Ke.
Therefore, Sun Ce made up his mind to hold his troops temporarily and wait for Zhou Yu to join him.
Two days later, with Sun Ce's eager anticipation, Zhou Yu's army finally arrived.
Sun Ce responded directly out of the city and entered the city hand in hand with Zhou Yu.
He and Zhou Yu were childhood friends. They fought side by side over the years and accumulated a deep friendship.
Especially after Sun Ce suffered repeated defeats, he became even more eager for Zhou Yu's arrival.
"Hahahaha, Gongjin, I've been waiting for you to come!"
"Your Majesty, it's Gong Jin's fault that you have to worry so much." Zhou Yu replied quickly and politely.
But Sun Ce didn¡¯t care much anymore and directly took Zhou Yu into the city and held a banquet for him to wash away the dust.
Zhou Yu knew Sun Ce¡¯s recent situation in his heart and it was hard to tell him, so he had to stay with him to chat for a while.
It was not until after the banquet and the officials dispersed that Zhou Yu approached Sun Ce in private.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the war is not going well. I hope that your Majesty will not be harmed by this."
There were no outsiders here, so Sun Ce finally stopped trying to hide it and finally let out a long sigh.
"Alas! Gong Jin didn't know something. He was so anxious when he saw the situation in front of him. But he was also afraid of affecting the morale of the soldiers.
¡°I had to pretend not to care at all. This time you can return, so I finally feel better! "
With that said, Sun Ce told Zhou Yu the current situation one by one, hoping that Zhou Yu could come up with a solution.
In Sun Ce¡¯s mind, Zhou Yu was resourceful and could definitely find a way to deal with Liu Ke.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned and remained silent for a long time.
It wasn¡¯t until Sun Ce was about to urge him that he finally said: ¡°Your Majesty, Liu Ke has many powerful generals under his command, and with the recent consecutive victories, his morale is as high as a rainbow.
On the contrary, our army's momentum is low, so now is not the time to fight the opponent immediately.
From what I can see, the first thing our army needs to solve is the morale problem, and then it is best to look for opportunities to engage in a decisive battle with the opponent. "
"Don't you know? But how should we solve it?" Sun Ce asked anxiously.
Zhou Yu continued: "Secure Juiyang and wait for Liu Ke. If the enemy is numerous, then hold it; if the enemy is few, then destroy it. But never take the initiative to attack.
If Liu Ke cannot attack for a long time, his morale will be greatly affected. It's not too late to fight back by then.
Since we are at home anyway, are we still afraid of losing time with Liu Ke? "
When Sun Ce heard this, he finally nodded slowly.
Now, with Zhou Yu¡¯s guidance, he suddenly became enlightened.
It turns out that the reason why I kept losing in battles before was because I was too impatient.
Being anxious makes you confused, but you cannot calm down and make the best judgment based on the current situation.
In this way, Sun Ce has been led by Liu Ke and has fallen into the opponent's rhythm. It is difficult to win now.
It wasn¡¯t until Zhou Yu¡¯s return that he truly saw through the key and pulled Sun Ce back from it.
Sun Ce thought about it for a moment, and finally said happily: "Okay! Just follow Gong Jin's wishes. From now on, Gong Jin will be the one to arrange the troops and formations!"
Sun Ce did not hesitate in employing people and directly handed over the command of the entire army to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu did his part and accepted the order directly without too much politeness. All this is because of the tacit understanding accumulated by the monarch and his subjects over the years.
So, Zhou Yu started to make new arrangements according to what he thought.
"Cheng Pu, I order you to lead an army of 10,000 to garrison in the southwest, and Huang Gai to lead an army of 10,000 to garrison in the southeast.
The two armies send out scouts every day to inspect the situation within a thirty-mile radius. If there is any trouble, they must report it as soon as possible.
Han Dang and Zu Mao led a total of 10,000 troops to garrison the middle road and maintain contact with the other two armies at any time.
Jiang Qin, Zhu ???, each of you will lead 10,000 naval troops to guard the Feishui ferry to prevent the enemy from attacking from the water.
The rest of the army was stationed in the city, waiting for orders.
In short, there is only one principle. When enemies come, how many they come and where they come from, they must be investigated immediately.
Whether to fight or to retreat, you must obey the arrangements, no one is allowed to act without authorization! "
Everyone immediately claimed that it was true, and then they split up and acted separately.
As for Zhou Yu, he guarded the city with Sun Ce and carried out targeted treatment based on Liu Kelai's invasion of troops.
Early the next morning, the scouts discovered the situation. Huang Gai did not dare to take action on his own, so he immediately reported to the city.
Zhou Yu took a look and found out that it was Liu Ke who had sent an army of 20,000 to the city of Juoyang to check the strength of Sun Ce's army.
The other party didn¡¯t know Zhou Yu¡¯s arrival and thought Sun Ce was in the same state as when he was fleeing.
So along the way, there was no intention of concealing his whereabouts, and he just headed towards Juoyang openly and openly.
Zhou Yu sneered and said: "Huh! You came just in time. Now that you are here, let's try the governor's methods!
After my order, the armies of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai circled around on both sides, while Zu Maohan slowly retreated to attract them.
After attracting the enemy troops to the city, the three armies launched together to surround and annihilate them under the city!
Your Majesty, please watch a good show in the city with me later! "
Sun Ce was very pleasantly surprised after hearing Zhou Yu's arrangement, and he couldn't help but regret not recalling him earlier.
Otherwise, he will not defeat repeatedly.
Therefore, Sun Ce happily climbed to the top of the city with Zhou Yu to see the show with his own eyes.
This time, it was General Zhang Liao who came to Juoyang first on Liu Ke's order.
Liu Ke was gathering troops and horses in the rear. In order to prevent Sun Ce from having time to breathe, he sent Zhang Liao to attack Tuoyang first.
It is best to keep Sun Ce in a state of confusion, so that it will be easier to win.
So after Zhang Liao received the order, he went straight to Huoyang.
But he didn¡¯t know that Sun Ce had joined Zhou Yu¡¯s army, and his strength had skyrocketed.
The most important thing is that his movements were clearly detected by the enemy when he was thirty miles away from Chuiyang.
In fact, Zhang Liao also saw enemy scouts during his march.
But in his heart, Sun Ce is no longer fearful.
Even if we reorganize our troops, it is estimated that it will not pose much of a threat to ourselves.
Therefore, in Zhang Liao's opinion, the passing of the other side's scouts would at most make Sun Ce strengthen the security in the city.
Apart from this, it will not have any impact on myself.
So Zhang Liao didn't think much about it and finally met Han Dang and Zu Mao outside the city. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
