LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 257 Zhou Yu’s analysis! In the end, we will cut off Liu Bei's food supply!
On that day, Gu Rubing did as he said and did not make any move to attack the city.
But even that's it.
The defenders in the city were still nervous and did not dare to relax at all!
There was no way, they had just experienced a big battle with these people below. These Jiangdong Army knew how ferocious the enemy was.
It might be okay if he directly attacks it and gets bloody.
But just this feeling of being right in front of you but not taking action made the atmosphere in the city depressing.
And the most important thing is that when they saw that those people had actually set up camp not far outside the city, the atmosphere in the city became even more depressing.
But no matter what, there is nothing they can do.
The suspension bridge had been destroyed, which not only blocked Gu Rubing's attack plan, but also blocked their idea of taking the initiative to attack.
Gu Rubing could only be allowed to set up camp.
But to the generals in the city, this incident was a naked insult!
On the same day, a group of generals went to Sun Jian again and wanted to challenge him, but they were stopped by Sun Jian who had completely calmed down.
night.
In the camp.
Gu Rubing dried the letter he had just written and immediately handed it over to the spy: "Send it to Liu Yao in Jiangdong immediately."
"Here!" The spy immediately took it and walked out of the camp.
"Brother, do you want to invite Liu Yao to fight Sun Jian together?"
Looking at what was happening in front of him, Zhang Fei immediately frowned and said: "Then Liu Yao was beaten by Sun Jian in Jiangdong and could only cower. Why did the elder brother invite him?"
"Brother, just give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I will wipe out the entire Jiangdong!"
"Third brother, don't be impatient!" Gu Rubing immediately frowned and said directly: "We can't fight Jiangdong now."
This was a strategy that he, Xi Zhicai, Fazheng, Chen Deng and others discussed together.
That is to join forces with Liu Yao and take Danyang.
Although Liu Yao was defeated by Sun Jian before and had no choice but to defend the city after losing the city, but as long as he could hold off Sun Jian, he would have the possibility of counterattack.
Even if he couldn't beat Sun Ce, Sun Jian would definitely be nervous.
This battle does not necessarily involve attacking the city. The best result is to take advantage of the situation to gain territory. This is why Gu Rubing asked Zhao Yuntai Shici to attack the city in public during the day.
That is to put pressure on Sun Jian!
Gu Rubing had never thought about going to fight Jiangdong directly at this time.
Even if we put aside the issue of whether it can be defeated, given the current situation, if he wants to touch the territory of Jiangdong, he will first become the target of public criticism.
In addition, the risk is too great.
Xuzhou still needs people to guard it, and Yuan Shao may still plot Qingzhou. If he attacks Jiangdong, will Yuan Shu watch with cold eyes?
Obviously not!
What about the other princes? Won't you come and get a share of the pie?
So Gu Rubing's target this time is Danyang County, nothing more.
Hearing this, although Zhang Fei was unwilling, he was still very obedient to Gu Rubing.
Later, Gu Rubing refused the generals' move to besiege the city, and only told them to keep an eye on the actions of the defenders in the city, and then let the generals disperse.
At the same time, in the city.
"My lord, I will take a look at Liu Bei's actions today. It seems that he really has no intention of attacking the city."
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Jian solemnly and said: "The general thought that he might join forces with Liu Yao to plot against me Jiangdong."
"Um?"
Sun Jian's expression couldn't help but become serious, and he quickly said: "Send someone to contact my son immediately and ask him to be alert at all times to prevent Liu Yao from attacking my city!"
Zhou Yu nodded immediately: "I will make arrangements at the end of the day."
"only."
His tone paused slightly.
Seeing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but frowned, looked at Zhou Yu and said, "What is there that Gong Jin dare not say?"
"Lord!"
Zhou Yu immediately raised his hand towards Sun Jian and continued in a deep voice: "The general is afraid that our army will be dragged down by Liu Bei!"
As he spoke, he walked directly to the map, pointed at the city above and said:
"Liu Bei has sent people to attack Moling and Jurong."
"If our army is dragged here all the time, and the young master is dragged back by Liu Yao, Liu Bei may take this opportunity to seize the rest of my Jiangdong cities."
What Zhou Yu said was very clear.
Not only Sun Jian, but also all the soldiers understood what he meant immediately, and their expressions changed.
Sun Jian said almost immediately: "What good plan does Gong Jin have?"
He was really panicked. The land of Jiangdong was his current base camp, and he could not lose the land of Jiangdong under any circumstances.
"My Lord, I think our army's plan to cut off Liu Bei's food supply should be advanced!"
Zhou Yu's expression immediately became serious.
After hearing this, all the generals did not hesitate at all and immediately came out to ask for battle.
"The last general is willing to send troops at night to cut off Liu Bei's food route!"
"The general is willing to go and issue a military order!!"
"."
The generals were all very excited. As generals, they not only wanted to make meritorious deeds, but also wanted to take revenge!
Sun Jian glanced at the generals, and finally stayed on Huang Gai for two seconds, but he did not agree directly. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Who does Gong Jin think is suitable?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately took two steps back, walked in front of the generals, and bowed his hands towards Sun Jian seriously: "My lord, the last general is willing to go!"
In an instant, all the generals frowned and looked at Zhou Yu.
Even Sun Jian was like this, and said with some confusion: "I still need to discuss the matter of defending the city with Gong Jin, how can I let Gong Jin carry out this strategy?"
"Lord."
Zhou Yu immediately shook his head: "As long as the lord is here, there will be no chaos in the affairs of the city!"
"As for why we let the general go?"
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, cupped his hands towards Sun Jian and continued: "The general has crossed the Huai River before and knows how to prevent Liu Bei from noticing."
"In addition, this matter is very critical. If there is an accident, the general will be able to act accordingly."
Hearing this, Sun Jian fell silent immediately.
What Zhou Yu said is indeed very reasonable.
If his analysis is correct, then the matter of cutting off the food road this time is the top priority. Compared with Zhou Yu, the other generals may have stronger force, but if there is an accident, Zhou Yu's ability will be more powerful. Reassuring!
Thinking of this, Sun Jian couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then said: "Okay! How many people will Gong Jin take?"
"This trip is only to cut off Liu Bei's food supply. In the end, the general only needs to return to Wu County to mobilize thousands of troops. We can also take this opportunity to inform the young master and let him be on guard against Liu Yao."
Zhou Yu spoke immediately, as if he had already thought about this matter.
Sun Jian did not hesitate, nodded directly and said: "Okay, in that case, I will leave this matter to Gong Jin!"
"Here"
Zhou Yu quickly raised his hand to Sun Jian and said with a serious face: "Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely complete this matter this time and will never betray my lord's trust!"
After saying that, Zhou Yu walked out directly.
"Generals, obey the order!"
As soon as Zhou Yu left, Sun Jian immediately stood up, looked at the generals seriously and said: "Once Gong Jin leaves for this trip, the defense force in our city will be weakened again."
"You must keep an eye on Liu Bei and never give him an opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers immediately raised their hands towards Sun Jian and said in unison: "Here!"
"Everyone, go ahead."
Sun Jian waved his hand and walked out of the hall minding his own business as he spoke.
He had to go see Sun Quan.
Perhaps because he was frightened before, Sun Quan went to rest directly after entering the city, and he still hasn't woken up until now.
There is no way, after all, going to the battlefield is not something Sun Quan should face at his age.
Especially after such a defeat!
This was his son with the appearance of an emperor, so Sun Jian naturally wanted to see if something was really wrong.
At the same time, in the live broadcast room.
Seeing the scene of the generals leaving, the entire barrage area of the live broadcast room was also discussing this matter.
"One thing to say, I think Zhou Yu actually does have something. It's very rare to think of so much. After all, he is still young. In time, he may really have a chance to take revenge on Liu Caoxie."
"Indeed, just looking at Zhou Yu's previous performance, we know that this kid will definitely not be easy to grow up. It's a pity that he met Liu Caoxiao at such a young age. Wouldn't he use Liu Yao to increase his level?"
"Sun Quan: How can you be younger than me? Who the hell did I offend?"
"Hahahahaha, I'm going to burst out laughing. Have you watched Liu Caoxie's live broadcast? Who do you think is delivering food to Liu Caoxie??"
"???who??"
"Pfft! Zhou Yu is so damn miserable, why do he have to meet Zhang Liao again! Zhang Liao wanted to attack the city with Liu Caoxie before, but Liu Caoxie said that the tired soldiers should not attack the city, so he asked him to take the people back to rest and then transport food coming!"
"Really or not? Damn it? Is this an inexplicable fate?"
"Damn it, isn't this the straw that breaks the camel's back??"
"I laughed so fucking loudly, damn!"
"The latest news! Yuan Shu just heard the news about the fight between Sun Menghu and Liu Caoxiao. He burst out laughing. I'm afraid you don't know that with the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, this boy's combat effectiveness has skyrocketed!"
"Cao Zhonger is also going to conquer the entire Yanzhou (funny). I really don't know why you pay so much attention to Sun Liu. Can't you just watch the results online?"
"One thing to say, Yuan Shao is really stable now. He is actually still preparing troops!"
"Can you please spare my Zhou Yu! He is so handsome, wow! My brother Zhou Yu will not be bullied by that Zhang Liao again QAQ"
"."
One barrage after another kept flashing in the live broadcast room.
Although the first battle between Sun Jian and Gu Rubing was over, as soon as the news of Gu Rubing's attack on the city came out, the popularity of the two live broadcasts increased instead of decreasing!
Many people even watched their live broadcasts at the same time.
Now that I heard that Zhou Yu had gone without food again, there was naturally a lot of discussion, and the news quickly spread to the entire network.
That night, after making sure that no one was paying attention, Zhou Yu led a few people and drove out directly from the south gate.
Less than an hour later, Gu Rubing received the news immediately.
However, he didn't care after making sure that he only went out for ten rides.
What he did this time was completely a conspiracy, because Sun Jian really had to face attacks from both front and rear. As long as the tens of thousands of people in his city didn't move, everything else didn't matter!
For the next three days, the two sides still did not take action.
But even Sun Jian could feel the soldiers' emotions becoming increasingly tense.
However, compared to Lu Bu, Sun Jian was obviously much smarter. After seeing that Gu Rubing had no intention of attacking the city for several days, he immediately believed Zhou Yu's judgment and concluded that Gu Rubing would not attack the city.
Immediately, he divided the tasks among the generals.
The generals take turns to be on duty, and the others can do whatever they have to do. They only need to be called upon to arrive at a moment's notice.
And Sun Jian also suppressed Jurong. News that the Second City of Moling was lost.
This greatly relieved the depressive atmosphere in the city, and there was no trouble.
And Gu Rubing didn't care at all, he would do whatever he had to do, but that was it, and the popularity of both parties' live broadcast rooms remained high.
The reason is also very simple.
Without him, they were all waiting for news from Zhou Yu and Zhang Liao.
at the same time.
Xuzhou, Guangling territory.
After rushing all the way, Zhou Yu finally led five thousand people and finally stepped into Guangling again.
These are the troops he urgently transferred from all over Wu County.
In fact, Zhou Yu originally thought that two thousand men and horses would be enough, but considering the terrifying force of Liu Bei's army in the previous battle, he still brought the maximum number of men and horses he could bring just in case, just in case.
After all, Sun Jian's situation is extremely difficult now. Although there is no trouble in Wujun, in order to prevent Liu Yao's sneak attack, it is already very difficult to mobilize 5,000 troops.
Moreover, he also sent someone to notify Sun Ce. Although he did not go around to see Sun Ce, he still explained the current situation clearly in the letter.
Then he led his troops out with confidence.
As soon as he stepped into the boundary of Guangling, Zhou Yuxuan immediately led his army to advance quickly along the route he fought last time.
This was the route Zhou Yu took last time when he and Sun Jian split their forces to attack Xu.
There are not many direct roads from Guangling to Danyang.
Coupled with the need to transport food, Zhou Yu could conclude that Gu Rubing must still take the same path as the previous battle.
So he immediately chose to follow the route he had divided his troops on before.
Zhou Yu was very familiar with this route because he had just walked it a few days ago. Looking at the clearly visible traces of horse hoofs on the ground, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart.
Who would have thought.
How could he, Zhou Yu, suffer such a defeat?
"Sooner or later I will take revenge!"
Zhou Yu thought secretly, and immediately led the army to move forward quickly.
Just that night.
He finally led people to explore the location of Gu Rubing's previous camp, but he was not impulsive.
Instead, Shen Ye found a dense forest where he could hide among the army, and then hid himself.
Zhou Yu didn't know when Gu Rubing's people would send food.
But through his analysis, he could conclude that food would definitely be delivered within seven days, otherwise Gu Rubing would definitely run out of food.
It took him three days to march.
According to Zhou Yu's analysis, based on the fact that Liu Bei had just pacified Xuzhou, it would take at least a few days to directly prepare enough food for an army of 50,000 to attack the city.
Therefore, Zhou Yu concluded that someone would definitely leave with food within four days!
Sure enough, at noon the next day, the sound of horseshoes and carriage wheels suddenly came from a distance.
Without thinking, Zhou Yu immediately told the three armies to hide, and then he lay down directly in the grass in front of him, staring closely ahead.
The sound is getting closer.
Finally, after another moment.
Carriages carrying grain and grass finally appeared in his sight.
Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, but he did not act impulsively, but waited for the grain transport team to walk into the ambush.
But then, his expression suddenly changed.
Why are these people wearing battle armor?
And it looks so familiar?
etc! Who's that guy in front? ? ?
