Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 491 The Continuously Disappointed Zhou Yu

At the beginning, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's plan was a comprehensive strategy of shedding the golden silkworm's shell, attacking the east and attacking the west, cheating the sky and crossing the sea, and keeping the old warehouse in the dark.

The best result that can be achieved in this way is that Zhou Yu successfully opened up the waterway from Jiyang Township in Piling County to Guangling County, and then withdrew a large number of people and troops to Guangling County, and then came back to aid Sun Ce, and withdrew to Guangling County together with Sun Ce.

Therefore, after Zhou Yu led his troops into Wu Commandery, he divided his forces. Those who wanted to attack in the east and in the west rushed to Jiyang Township in Piling County as soon as possible, which was the section of the Yangtze River where Sun Ce's army had crossed the river, in search of crossing the river and returning. The timing of Guangling County.

As long as Zhou Yu can open the passage on the river to return to Guangling County, he can at least bring the nearly [-] troops and the large amount of property looted in Jiangdong to Guangling County. up.

Of course, if his side can successfully open up the retreat channel on the river, then Chen Wu's side will soon turn around and move all the coerced people on his side across the river to Guangling County.

Because at this time, most of the warships of the Jiangling navy commanded by Cai Mao were on the Zhenze (Taihu Lake) side, and there were only a small number of patrol warships and a large number of river boats used to transport troops and supplies on the Yangtze River.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Yu can hide the warships of the Jiangling Navy in the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River from Cai Mao, or solve the warships of the Jiangling Navy patrolling the Yangtze River, perhaps he can really block the flow of the river from Zhenze to the Yangtze River by temporarily cutting off the water flow. The warships of Cai Mao's navy returned to the waterway of the Yangtze River, thus finding an opportunity for himself to withdraw to Guangling County.

In fact, Zhou Yu had no intention of supporting Wu Cheng Yan Baihu. He just wanted to use Yan Baihu to attract Cai Mao's navy.

It's a pity that Sun Wang Yuyan sent troops to block the roads between Danyang City and Wu County from the very beginning, and basically cut off the possibility of Zhou Yu returning to help Sun Ce. Therefore, Sun Ce, who didn't have much food, could only implement plan B and prepare to bring The soldiers carried out the tactics of rogue Danyang County, harassed the hinterland of Danyang County, attracted the main force of Zhu Wei's army, and relieved Zhou Yu's pressure.

This would at least ensure that Zhou Yu could find an opportunity to find a way to retreat back to Guangling County, and take the troops, population, and property under Zhou Yu's control to retreat to Guangling County, thus giving Guangling County some opportunities to grow.

As for Sun Ce himself, he can only find another way to find opportunities, save his life, and then withdraw to Guangling County. Sun Ce has already made plans to sacrifice all his troops, all for the purpose of covering the population of those troops brought by Zhou Yu. Opportunity to withdraw from Guangling County.

But this plan B was completely shattered under the big net laid by Wang Yuyan. Sun Ce wiped out all the troops in one day, and even lost his own life. In this way, Sun Ce delayed Zhou Yu for less than seven days.

However, at this time, Zhou Yu still had the possibility to realize the two strategies of attacking the east and the west, and crossing the sky and the sea. Therefore, after entering Wu County, Zhou Yu did use the means of dividing troops to secretly withdraw the main force he brought to Jiyang Township, Piling County. Jiangyin Water Section.

But here, Zhou Yu was still disappointed, he did not find any boats that could cross the river, and at the same time he was found by Cai Mao's Jiangling navy.

Although Jiyang Township in Piling County is a narrow river crossing area on the Yangtze River, it was originally just a riverside rural area that was not valued. Naturally, there were no ferries. fishing village.

After Sun Cejun crossed the river here before and entered Jiangdong, just in case, he planned to keep this escape route secretly, and completely wiped out the fishermen in the fishing village where they landed.

Then Sun Cejun hid the boats they used to cross the river, and left some soldiers disguised as fishermen from fishing villages to guard the boats they used to cross the river, which was regarded as guarding Sun Cejun's retreat.

Previously, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu only knew that Cai Mao’s navy entered Wu County from above the Yangtze River, but they didn’t know that the retreat route in Jiyang Township, Piling County had been discovered by Cai Mao’s army, so Zhou Yu originally hoped to find a way out from this retreat route. Those who evaded the Jiangling Navy's patrol on the Yangtze River and secretly crossed the river with a boat hidden here to retreat to Guangling County.

It's a pity that Wang Yuyan and Zhu Wei had attached great importance to Guangling County where Sun Ce was located earlier, and Zhu Wei's Three Kingdoms game map allowed Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan to easily draw detailed maps of various places.

So when Cai Mao's navy came to Jiangdong this time, Wang Yuyan naturally asked Cai Mao to carefully find the location for Sun Ce to cross the river, and especially helped Cai Mao point out some suitable river crossings.

In this way, Cai Mao, who was good at water warfare, soon discovered that the Dantu County and the Jiangyin Water Section of Piling County and Jiyang Township were the two most suitable places to cross the Yangtze River. After careful investigation, the Jiangling Navy also found that It wiped out the traces of Sun Ce's army crossing the river before, and then wiped out those Sun Ce's escort soldiers who pretended to be fishermen.

Then the river boats originally used by Sun Ce's army to cross the river were naturally captured by the Jiangling navy, and it was impossible to leave them for the current Zhou Yu to use.

At the same time, Wang Yuyan gave Cai Mao military orders many times, asking him to strictly block the Yangtze River waterway. Therefore, after Cai Mao's Jiangling Navy arrived in Wu County, they also recruited almost all civilian river boats and fishing boats along the Yangtze River. Naturally, they would not find any for Zhou Yu. Boats crossing the river.

Now Nadantu County has become a central operating point of the Zhuwei army controlled by Cai Mao's navy, while the Jiangyin water section of Jiyang Township in Piling County has also become an important monitoring area for Jiangling navy.

In this way, after Zhou Yu led his troops to Jiyang Township, Piling County, he was soon discovered by the Jiangling navy left by Cai Mao in the Jiangyin section.

Although Cai Mao's Jiangling navy does not have many warships left on the Yangtze River, as long as these warships stay on the river, Zhou Yu can only look at the river and sigh, and has nothing to do with the Jiangling navy on the river.

Now that he lost this way of retreat, Zhou Yu turned his attention to the warships owned by the main force of Cai Mao's navy that entered Zhenze Lake.

Therefore, Zhou Yu took advantage of the fact that the main force of Cai Mao's navy was in the Zhenze Lake area, and led his troops to block several waterways connecting Zhenze Lake to the Yangtze River along the way.

Then Zhou Yu led his troops from adjacent counties to Wuxi, Wuxian and other places, and once again defeated all the counties that Cai Mao's navy had recaptured before.

It can be said that many county towns in Wujun encountered several changes in the king's banner after following Sun Ce across the river. Anyway, these county towns were basically unable to resist the attacks of Sun Ce's army, Cai Mao's army, and Zhou Yu's army.

In fact, Zhou Yu's strategic intention not only attracted Cai Mao's navy to fight on land, but also took advantage of the opportunity when Zhu Wei's army's attention was attracted by Chen Wu's army, and wanted to quickly detour to kill Qiantang County, and also had a sneak attack The idea of ​​Qiantang County.

Zhou Yu is killing two birds with one stone. He has no way to deal with the Cai Mao navy hiding in Zhenze Lake, and he is not sure whether he can attract Cai Mao's navy to fight on land, so he can only follow his original proposal to Sun Ce. I went to Qiantang County to find boats crossing the river...
