The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 518
In Yuzhang city in the south of Yangzhou, although Hua Xin is the prefect of Yuzhang, the real person in charge here is not Hua Xin, but Zhang Hong, one of the 'two Zhangs'.

This person was in charge of all the government affairs in the south of Yangzhou, and had the same status as Zhang Zhao in the north of Yangzhou, Zhao Ding in Jiaozhou, and the bandits in Qing and Xu prefectures. At the beginning, Lu Heng left Zhang Hong in Yuzhang to prevent Sun Ce from attacking Yuzhang County.

"Everyone! Now that Sun Ce is eyeing the tiger, he has set out from Changsha to march towards Yichun. The three generals Lei Beng, Mao Gan, and Jin Qi are not enough. Hong has already sent someone to ask for help from the Lord, but I can't wait to die!"

"Teacher! Students please fight, willing to lead the Yuzhang garrison to rescue Yichun!"

As soon as Zhang Hong finished speaking, Pang Ji asked for a fight. Zhang Hong looked at the crowd and found that Pang Ji was the most suitable. Read the Art of War.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Hong said, "Since this is the case, Chun Zhi (Pang Ji's style name Chun Zhi) and Gu Shao will send troops together to support Yichun. Sun Ce must be careful when he uses his troops fiercely! When the lord's reinforcements arrive, come together!"

"Here!" X2
The Gu Shao mentioned by Zhang Hong is the son of Gu Yong. In terms of blood relationship, he is still Lu Heng's nephew. He was a kid like Lu Xun back then, but he has grown into a handsome young man at eighteen this year. Gu Shao became a teacher of Zhang when he was 12 years old. Hong, although younger than Pang Ji, is Pang Ji's senior brother!His prestige is greater than that of Pang Ji!
Seeing that a group of boys including Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Liu Ji, and Zhang Xuan had grown up, Zhang Hong also slowly let go of some government affairs to these boys. This time, he asked Gu Shao to send troops together to train this kid.

Pang Ji and Gu Shao rescued Yichun, and we set off from Yuzhang City.

However, Sun Ce led his troops to the east in a mighty manner. Although the troops were not many, this time he didn't just want to use it as a feint!

Sun Ce agreed with Zhou Yu's and Lu Su's analysis very much, and believed that the southern part of Yuzhang was indeed a weak point in Lu Heng's defense arrangement, and he might not be able to win some territory by sending troops this time.

This was Sun Ce's careful thought of sending troops this time, and he didn't discuss it with Zhou Yu at all, and he didn't even talk to Lu Su, the military adviser who accompanied the army!

If Zhou Yu and Lu Su knew about Sun Ce's idea, they would also object, because Sun Ce's reputation in Yangzhou was one of the worst. Even if Sun Ce took some parts of Yangzhou, he would not be able to hold it!
Because whether it is a nobleman, a powerful, or a low-level common people, they don't want to see Sun Ce!

Yangzhou gentry and tyrants are now following Lu Heng, and most of the children are from Lu Heng. Now Lu Heng is fighting Yuan Shao!
As long as you defeat Yuan Shao, you will be the number one prince in the world, and you are almost one step away from that position!
On the other hand, Sun Ce?It is only an area in the south of Jing, and the strategy is constantly targeting the gentry. Sun Ce killed a lot of gentry and powerful people in Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong gentry more or less had hatred against Sun Ce!
As for the common people, let’s not talk about it. Look at Lu Heng’s policies, such as land distribution, low taxes, labor recruitment instead of corvee, and the government can rent land, rent cattle, Jiangdong Academy allows children to study for free, etc. Policy, who would want to go to Sun Ce's side!
In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Zhou Yu and Lu Su opposed Sun Ce's attack on Lu Heng!
Because even if the territory is laid down by spending troops, as long as Lu Heng's main force arrives, he will be unable to hold it immediately!It is better to seek your own development!
There are two ways to attack Yuzhang by land from Changsha. The first is to go east from Changsha, pass Liling and continue eastward to reach Yichun, the westernmost point of Yuzhang. To take this place, you have to cross Xingan to reach Yuzhang. .

The second way is to go north to Luoxian County (yes, that is the fiefdom of Koufeng), and then go west to Jianchang, the important town of Yuzhang. After breaking through this place, you can reach Yuzhang without any obstacles.

These two roads have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the first road is far away, and you have to eat two cities, but this road is easier to walk. Liling, Yichun, and Xingan are all beside the Yuan River, although they are also densely covered with forests. , but it is more convenient to march with official roads.

The second road is relatively short. Sun Ce started from Changsha and went north to Luo County, which was his own territory. He went west to Jianchang, but this road was much more difficult. There were no waterways, and it was densely covered with jungles and had to climb mountains. Ling, the Mulianjiu Mountain Range of later generations is located in this area, and it is very difficult to transport food and grass logistics.

So this time Sun Ce still chose to take the first road, and walked several hundred miles east to enter the border of Yuzhang and marched for almost ten days before arriving in Yichun.

The first to arrive was Sun Quan, the vanguard, with Zhu Ran, General Pan Zhang, and Lu Su, the military commander who accompanied the army. Sun Quan looked at Yichun City and saw the big banners with the characters of "Lu" and "Lei" flying above the city wall.

Sun Quan looked at Yichun and thought to himself: "Yangzhou, this is where the eldest brother lost back then, and the glory of the Sun family must be regained!"

Sun Quan rode forward, and Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang followed closely, but he didn't know what Sun Quan wanted to do?
Until Sun Quan reached the archer's gate, everyone on the city wall could see the figures of three young people. Sun Quan was only twenty this year, and Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang were one year younger than Sun Quan. But it is not the first time on the battlefield.

Last year, Sun Quan, Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang and others took part in the siege of Jiangling. However, in Zhou Yu's navy, they also saw the sharpness of Lu Heng's navy. This time Sun Ce wanted to train his younger brother Sun Quan to serve as a vanguard and send Lu Su to escort him. convoy.

"Listen up, guards in the city! This is Sun Quan, the brother of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong! My brother will arrive with an army in a few days. If you are wise, you will open the city and surrender immediately!"

"Bah! Little kid with no hair yet, go home and play in the mud, what are you doing here!"

Mao Gan is a reckless person. Seeing the immature faces of Sun Quan, Zhu Ran, and Pan Zhang, who tried to persuade them to surrender with old-fashioned style, he felt underestimated and cursed directly.

And Sun Quan was not discouraged when he heard Mao Gan's yelling, he laughed, but Pan Zhang was young and vigorous, cursing and swearing.Sun Quan stopped Pan Zhang from cursing, and took Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang back to the camp without even looking at Mao Gan.

This time, Mao Gan was furious, but besides Mao Gan, there were Lei Beng and Jin Qi on the city wall, and beside him was Qin Hui, a scribe.

Lei Beng, Mao Gan, Jin Qi, and Qin Hui have different ideas about this battle. Lei Beng and Sun Ce are also old acquaintances. Back then, many brothers in Huayang Mountain died at the hands of Sun Ce, especially Qian Mang. No revenge!

Mao Gan and Jin Qi are eager to try. They are both from Shanyue. They have been stationed in Yuzhang since they joined Lu Heng, and they have not made any decent achievements. This time Sun Ce led troops here and they think it is a good opportunity to show their performance. .

And Qin Hui felt unlucky!
Unexpectedly, after surrendering to Lu Heng, he was inexplicably on the front line again, and the opponent was Sun Ce again!This made Qin Hui very depressed!
