Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 465 The Swept Danyang City

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu seem to have discussed a cruel strategy in Danyang City.

Not long after that, the entire Danyang City became chaotic. Sun Ce sent troops to carry out a thorough looting of Danyang City, and compiled all ordinary people into young and strong new troops, old and weak women and children auxiliary camps according to the differences between men, women and children. , This is tantamount to using the family as hostages, forcing the young and strong in Danyang City to fight for Sun Ce.

At the same time, all the wealthy households in Danyang City were directly ransacked their homes one after another, all the direct descendants of the wealthy households were beheaded, and their wealth and food were plundered into Sun Ce's public treasury. As for the servants and private citizens attached to these wealthy households, It was also incorporated into Sun Ce's new army or auxiliary battalion.

Originally, although Sun Ce said that he would slaughter the city if he captured Danyang City, for the sake of long-term stability in the future, it is naturally impossible to really do it.

Therefore, after Sun Ce invaded Danyang City before, he just found some big households to perform operations, and took the money from the big households to reward the soldiers.

It can be said that the ordinary people and most of the wealthy families in Danyang City can still be safe and sound, but now Sun Ce completely ignores the influence, showing his cruel side.

In doing so, he controlled all the manpower and financial resources in Danyang City in his own hands. Since then, there was no free body in Danyang City, and they all became pawns under his Sun Ce's control.

Danyang City was originally under the control of Liu Yao, but it was considered a large and stable city in Jiangdong, with a population of at least 20.

Before Sun Ce came to attack Danyang City, maybe 3 to 15 people fled Danyang City, and then when Hua Xin and Zhang Ying guarded Danyang City, they also recruited [-] to [-] young men to defend the city, so there were naturally many Losses, but after Sun Ce invaded Danyang City, the population of Danyang City was at least about [-].

Now all the men between the ages of 14 and 50 in Danyang City who were coerced by Sun Ce were incorporated into the new army, which immediately allowed Sun Ce to add nearly [-] new troops in addition to the original [-] troops.

Although the [-] young and strong recruits were basically mobs with unstable hearts, the families of these recruits were all incorporated into the auxiliary battalion by Sun Ce and controlled by Sun Ce. To a certain extent, he had to be driven by Sun Ce.

At the same time, after Sun Ce attacked all the rich and powerful families in Danyang City, he also killed at least ten thousand people directly related to these rich and powerful families. The grain and grass needed by Wan Dajun for two months.

Although Liu Yao burned down the stored grain in Danyang City when he withdrew from Danyang City, the grain hidden in the homes of rich folks gave Sun Ce some time to relax and breathe.

However, these food and grass can only meet the needs of Sun Ce's army. If it is necessary to supply the so-called auxiliary camp composed of more than 8 old and weak women and children, it may not be able to meet the needs of January.

Therefore, Sun Ce quickly asked Zhou Yu to lead Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Chen Wu, and to leave Danyang with about [-] Guangling elite soldiers, [-] Jiangdong new army elites, [-] Danyang new troops and [-] auxiliary battalion old and weak. , seems to be going to support Yan Baihu in the direction of Wucheng.

In this way, Sun Ce left veterans Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu in Danyang, as well as more than 8000 Jiangdong new troops, [-] Danyang new troops, and [-] old and weak auxiliary battalions. They are ready to stay in Danyang City.

However, Sun Ce did not leave too much food and grass in Danyang City, but only left food and grass that can be eaten for about half a month. Other food, including all kinds of property looted in Danyang City, were handed over to Zhou Yu to take away.

It can be said that Sun Ce's actions completely regarded himself as the Yellow Turban bandits back then, and made the entire Danyang City empty.

But this method is also very effective for a while, allowing Sun Ce to have a large amount of manpower to control, allowing Sun Ce to still control a battle-ready army, allowing Sun Ce to continue with the next step of the plan.

Of course, although Wang Yuyan didn't know what happened in Danyang City, she naturally found out that Zhou Yu left Danyang City with so many people at the first time.

Wang Yuyan immediately sent people to investigate the situation, but because Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had strictly controlled the population under their coercion, even if there were agents sent by Zhu Wei in the new army and auxiliary camp they coerced, there was no way to get the news out. send it out.

So Wang Yuyan only knew that Zhou Yu had brought a lot of troops to support Wucheng's Yan Baihu, but Sun Ce still had a lot of manpower stationed in Danyang City.

At first Wang Yuyan thought it was Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's plan to escape the golden silkworm, so while sending scouts to watch Zhou Yu's whereabouts, she immediately mobilized the army to attack Danyang City.

After Wang Yuyan laid out the overall situation in Jiangdong, she was naturally considering Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's possible changes in response. Wang Yuyan believed that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were not people who would sit still, so now should be the time for them to make a response.

It's just that Wang Yuyan is not a god, so it is naturally impossible to fully predict Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's countermeasures.

At this time, according to the information of Zhou Yu's army sent by the scouts, Wang Yuyan knew that Zhou Yu had taken away nearly [-] people. Was this going to evacuate the population of Danyang City?

In this way, Wang Yuyan couldn't help guessing whether Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were planning to return to Guangling County, but they wanted to fill the population of Guangling County with the population of Jiangdong.

Of course, it was impossible for Wang Yuyan to agree to actions like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's.

However, Wang Yuyan was not very worried about this matter. With Cai Mao's Jiangling navy blocking the Yangtze River, it was almost impossible for Zhou Yu to sneak nearly 10 people across the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Wang Yuyan only sent a message to Cai Mao, who was exhausted in Zhenze (Taihu Lake) at the first time, telling him to be careful of Zhou Yu's attack and take care of the Yangtze River waterway, especially the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River, so that Zhou Yu should not let Zhou Yu cross the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Wang Yuyan also sent a message to Wang Lang in Kuaiji, telling Wang Lang to be careful that Zhou Yu led troops to attack Kuaiji. If necessary, he could first transfer Zhou Xin and Kan Ze's troops to attack Wucheng back to Qiantang to guard the main road leading to Kuaiji.

Then, Wang Yuyan was ready to concentrate on dealing with Sun Ce who stayed in Danyang City.

Of course, first of all, Wang Yuyan had to make sure that it was the real Sun Ce who was here in Danyang City, so on the day Wang Yuyan found out that Zhou Yu's soldiers had left, she ordered the army to move together, bringing Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhang Ying, and Chen Heng together. Send troops to Danyang City.

Not long after, Wang Yuyan set up an army formation about one mile away from Danyang City, and then Huang Zhong and Tai Shici led [-] saber shields and [-] crossbowmen to challenge Danyang City.

The main purpose this time is to determine whether Sun Ce is in Danyang City, but now Wang Yuyan also knows that Sun Ce has been wearing a bronze mask on his face after his disfigurement, so if someone else pretends to be Sun Ce, it will be difficult to tell the difference.

Therefore, Wang Yuyan can only be verified by the martial arts of Huang Zhong and Tai Shici. If Sun Ce dares to fight, he can immediately judge whether Sun Ce is really Sun Ce...
