Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 460 The Road to Danyang City's Breakthrough

After Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan got married, Wang Lang, who also belonged to the Langya Wang family, could naturally be regarded as Zhu Wei's own person.

Wang Lang didn't have much ambition at first, and he didn't have the intention to compete with Zhu Wei for Jiangdong. He had already received the letter from Wang Yuyan, and he knew that Wang Yuyan had brought troops to help Jiangdong.

Therefore, Wang Lang will naturally do his best to cooperate with Wang Yuyan's Jiangdong strategy. Although there are not many troops in Kuaiji, it is still enough to deal with Yan Baihu with Cai Mao's navy.

Before Zhu Wei helped Wang Lang attack Zhu Zhi in Qiantang County, Kuaiji Wang Lang also recruited a lot of soldiers originally trained by Zhu Zhi, so now the strength of Kuaiji under Zhou Xin's command is not very weak.

In addition, Wang Lang now has two counselors with military advisor qualifications, which allows Wang Lang to use their intelligence to crush Jiangdong sect thieves like Yan Baihu.

Needless to say, Yu Fan, the military adviser who was originally under Wang Lang, although his military command ability is not good, there is no problem in helping Wang Lang handle logistics and government affairs.

As for Kan Ze, he originally came to join Wang Lang like Zhang Hong, hoping to get an official position with Wang Lang. Kan Ze was originally from Shanyin County, Kuaiji County, and he was studying and traveling abroad before. Now that the world is in chaos, Kan Ze There is also a plan to return home.

As a master of Confucian classics, Wang Lang and Kan Ze, who is also a celebrity, are naturally acquainted. After Kan Ze returned to Kuaiji, he quickly became Wang Lang's guest. Wang Lang originally wanted to introduce Kan Ze to Zhu Wei to become an official. of.

Didn't he just catch up with the current Jiangdong chaos, so Kan Ze temporarily became Wang Lang's military advisor.

This Kan Ze's ability is similar to Yu Fan's, but his military ability is stronger than Yu Fan's, so this time Kan Ze also helped Wang Lang handle a lot of military affairs.

In fact, when defending Yan Baihu in Qiantang County, the soldiers of Kuaiji were already strong enough to resist Yan Baihu's invasion.

It can be said that Yan Baihu did not take advantage of Qiantang County, and after Wucheng, his old nest, was threatened by Cai Mao's navy, Yan Baihu naturally retreated immediately.

However, Yan Baihu retreated, and Kuaiji Wang Lang naturally would not pretend that nothing had happened before, so Wang Lang also took the initiative to send Zhou Xin and Kan Ze with the Kuaiji soldiers as Wang Yuyan asked him in the letter. He was going to join Cai Mao's navy and help Zhu Wei regain the land of Wujun in one fell swoop.

Well, let’s not talk about Wujun’s affairs for the time being, anyway, according to Wang Yuyan’s military order to Cai Mao, Cai Mao’s Jiangling navy will focus on Wucheng Yanbaihu’s military in Jiangdong this time, mainly to let Cai Mao regain Wujun However, he was not allowed to join the battle to rescue Danyang City.

So let’s go back and talk about the situation in Danyang City. Why did Liu Yao withdraw to Dantu County?
It turned out that Hua Xin and Zhang Ying, who had been defending Danyang City until now, faced Sun Ce's strong attack regardless of damage, and felt increasingly stretched in the defense of the city. Therefore, Hua Xin and Zhang Ying had to seek serious illness. Liu Yao and Liu Yao discussed together where they could retreat after the city was broken.

But at that time, Sun Ce's army had already besieged Danyang City and blocked the news outside Danyang City. Therefore, Liu Yao and Hua Xin considered the information they knew before, and the Wu County and Kuaiji near Danyang City might not be able to withdraw. , because Sun Ce called from this direction.

In this way, Liu Yao's original plan was to retreat to Moling and Niuzhu camp. After all, there were still some Liu Yao's troops here, and then Liu Yao could also find an opportunity to retreat to Yuzhang.

Although I don't know if Zhu Wei in Yuzhang has reinforcements coming out to rescue Danyang, or if he still recognizes Liu Yao, the Yangzhou shepherd, anyway, they withdrew to Yuzhang, so Zhu Wei wouldn't ignore them completely.

Even if it was Zhu Wei's side, there would be a lot of trouble, but it was definitely better than falling into Sun Ce's hands.

It's just that the powerful threat of Sun Ce's army outside Danyang City also made them worry about whether they could retreat safely under Sun Ce's pursuit after they withdrew from Danyang City.

After all, Liu Yao is still seriously ill now, and the troops defending Danyang City are somewhat incomplete. They can still defend for a while relying on Danyang City. Without the protection of the city wall, they may not be able to block the pursuit of Sun Ce's soldiers. .

It would be a long way to retreat from Danyang City to Moling and Niuzhu Camp. If Sun Ce's army chased them halfway, everything would be over.

To be honest, Liu Yao was already a little desperate at that time, analyzing the current situation, almost made him fall ill.

At this time, Tai Shici finally shot the letter of arrows into Danyang City through meticulous work, and then let Liu Yao know that Zhu Wei's reinforcements had arrived, but the army was blocked by Zhou Yu led by Sun Ce at Moling County. side.

So it still takes Danyang City to persist for a while before reinforcements can arrive.

Although this kind of news made Liu Yao excited, the problem was that the long-distance water could not quench his near-thirst. Now that Danyang City was already in danger, Liu Yao might not be able to wait for reinforcements.

Fortunately, the arrow letter sent in by Tai Shici also said that if Danyang City could not be defended, Liu Yao could withdraw to Dantu County.

Dantu County, which is under the control of Cai Mao's navy, can be regarded as the closest retreat to Danyang City. As long as Hua Xin and Zhang Ying lead the remnants of Danyang City to protect Liu Yao and attack forcefully, they may still be able to protect Liu Yao and retreat. To Dantu County.

According to the map around Danyang City, Dantu County is next to the Yangtze River. If there is no support, it will be a dead end. Sun Ce is not worried about where Liu Yao can go when he runs to the river.

Therefore, Sun Ce's army surrounding Danyang City may indeed relax a bit in the direction of Dantu County.

As for the news that Cai Mao's navy has taken control of Dantu County, Sun Ce may not have known about it. After all, when Tai Shici sent the letter of arrows to Danyang City, Dantu County had just been occupied.

Therefore, considering the success rate of Liu Yao's breakout, Dantu County can be regarded as Liu Yao's only retreat.

At the same time, as long as they can break through to Dantu County, they can get the support of Cai Mao's navy, and at critical times, they can use Cai Mao's navy to go directly to the Yangtze River where Sun Ce's army can't catch up, then they will be completely safe.

Although Liu Yao and Hua Xin were also worried that this might be Sun Ce's plan, but now Danyang City has really reached its limit, so Liu Yao can only believe in this arrow letter.

At the same time, another thing requested in this arrow letter also made Liu Yao feel that this arrow letter was still credible.

Because the arrow letter also said that if Liu Yao really can't defend Danyang City and is going to break out and retreat, then I hope Liu Yao can destroy the food and weapons stored in Danyang City before breaking out, and don't get too much supplies for Sun Ce Complementary opportunities.

Such a request made Liu Yao believe that the arrow letter should not be Sun Ce's plan. If it was Sun Ce's plan, then Sun Ce would definitely not want Liu Yao to do this, nor would he remind Liu Yao to do so.

In this way, Liu Yao has confirmed the way out...
