"Okay, don't laugh anymore! Take action now!" Ma Chao showed off his demeanor like a general.

The Xiliang cavalry gathered quickly, gathered all their supplies, and then slowly headed towards Guiyang City.

The cavalry carried so much baggage, and it was like a huge indicator light on the battlefield, attracting the attention of countless people. Ordinary generals would not make such mistakes. Ma Chao did the opposite and specifically asked others to attack. In this way, he could weaken the Jiangdong Army bit by bit.

Until Ma Chao entered Guiyang's territory, he didn't even see the shadow of a soldier in Jiangdong Army.

Ma Chao was very confused as he walked along the way. The scouts of the Xiliang cavalry were always paying attention to the situation around him to prevent being ambushed. After arriving at Guiyang City, Ma Chao was not even encountered by an enemy.

You should know that Ma Chao deliberately let out a few Jiangdong soldiers and a general. With Sun Ce's temper, he should be able to send troops.

With a lot of doubts, Ma Chao returned to Guiyang City.

"Meng Qi, welcome to return triumphantly!" Ma Chao returned with a full load, and Sima Yi of course brought a lot of people to greet him, giving Ma Chao enough face.

In the past, Ma Chao enjoyed this kind of vanity very much. If he had a tail, he would definitely be overwhelmed. Today, he was confused and his face was not very good.

Seeing that Ma Chao was different from before, Sima Yi felt a little abnormal and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Ma Chao said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, I feel very strange. I deliberately let a few Jiangdong soldiers and a general report to Sun Ce, but when I returned to Guiyang City, I didn't even find a shadow of Jiangdong Army."

Sima Yi pondered for a while, and he felt very strange.

Zhao Fan and Lunzhi came out to flatter Ma Chao.

"General Ma is so powerful that Sun Ce must be afraid." Zhao Fan naturally flattered his future uncle.

Lunzhi also agreed: "Sun Ce must have been scared by our army, so he dared not come out! It can be seen that he is concerned about his own military strength."

It is quite practical for military generals to look at problems. Lunzhi just talked about one point.

Liu Jun knew that there was a problem with Sun Ce's military strength, so Sima Yi used every step of the way.

However, Gao Shun felt something was wrong and said, "Governor, I will think there is a fraud in it!"

"Is there a fraud?" Ma Chao was shocked.

Gao Shun usually talks very little, either he doesn’t say it, and once he says it, it’s very important. Gao Shun sees that there is something wrong, then there is something wrong.

Sima Yi also figured it out and said, "That's right! Sun Ce is indeed a scam! He is not planning to attack us, but is going to run away!"

"I'm going to run away? Are you saying that Sun Ce is going to evacuate Changsha County? It's impossible!" Ma Chao blurted out in shock.

"Governor, what he said is very true!" Jiang Wan came out and said, "If it were Sun Ce, he would have evacuated Changsha."

"Gongyan, you can tell me in detail!" Sima Yi wanted to listen to Jiang Wan's analysis.

Jiang Wan bowed and said, "Before our army rushed to Jingzhou, Sun Ce was full of energy and quickly took Changsha and expanded its influence around. If Pang Jingzhou had not responded quickly, Zhao Taishou and General Lun fought desperately, the counties and counties in southern Jingzhou would be no longer owned by the court. At this time, the governor led the army to Guiyang, step by step, and took steady steps, eroding Sun Ce's sphere of influence step by step. In addition, Pang Jingzhou was harassing and destroying his city by water. If Sun Ce was still in Changsha, then he would be really stupid. Zhou Yu, who was by Sun Ce, was not stupid, and he would definitely advise Sun Ce. So the officials thought that Sun Ce must have evacuated Changsha County."

Everyone believed Jiang Wan said this, and it was really the same thing.

"The analysis was very carefully." Sima Yi believed that Jiang Wan was a great talent.

Ma Chao said anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you send troops to stop Sun Ce as soon as possible!"

Sima Yi said affirmatively: "It's right! We can't let Sun Ce run away. Pass the order, gather troops, and divide it into three groups to attack Changsha!"

"Receive the order!" Ma Chao, Gao Shun and others responded.

Sima Yi issued an order to advance, and the soldiers of the three armies in Guiyang City were soon assembled. Because Sima Yi adopted a steady strategy, the physical strength of Liu's army was greatly restored. Now, when he heard that he was going to send troops on a large scale, the soldiers had a high desire to fight, and they all wanted to fight Sun Ce immediately.

This is Sima Yi's strength. He can use strategies while ensuring or improving his strength. Compared to Zhuge Liang being cautious in everything, Sima Yi has his own set of methods in leading the army, which is very practical.

"Meng Qi, you immediately lead 10,000 cavalry to the eastern part of Changsha. If you encounter Sun Ce, you will attack immediately. If you do not encounter the Jiangdong army, go to Liuyang City and cut off the Jiangdong reinforcements coming from Yuzhang County!" Sima Yi gave a order to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao immediately knew what he should do.

Sima Yi looked at Gao Shun and said, "General Gao, please lead 10,000 soldiers, horses and cavalry in our headquarters, and quickly advance northward to open the way for our central army!"

"I understand!" Gao Shun bowed.

"Zhao Fan and Lun directly led 5,000 troops to stay in Guiyang, and the rest of the soldiers followed the general as the central army and rushed to Changsha City!" Sima Yi ordered.

Ma Chao thought of something and said, "Zhongda, do you want to notify Shi Yuan?"

Sun Ce is about to run away. Sima Yi is going to pursue him, and Pang Tong cannot be idle either. Ma Chao is reminding Sima Yi.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "If Pang Shiyuan couldn't even see Sun Ce's retreat, he would not be the number one scholar in Nanzhou! Shiyuan knew what he should do, so he chased him immediately!"

Sima Yi was right. If Pang Tong couldn't even see through this, he would have wasted his reputation as the number one scholar in Nanzhou and went home to take the child.

Indeed, just when Sima Yi sent troops, Pang Tong also took action.

Pang Tong, who had been wandering between the rivers, noticed Sun Ce's intentions and immediately took a landing battle to test Sun Ce. Sun Ce had already led the army to set off, so Pang Tong encountered very little obstacles.

"What a Sun Ce! What a Zhou Yu! You can actually see through my plan to kill him in Changsha, and retreat first!" Pang Tong didn't need to think too much about what the result was.

He was beaten so miserably by Sun Ce before, but now the enemy and us have changed, Pang Tong will not let Sun Ce go. Otherwise, Sun Ce would come whenever he wants, and leave whenever he wants. Where would he put his face on Pang Shiyuan? The key is that Sima Yi has such great help. Pang Tong believes that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce can't do anything to him.

All the army led by Pang Tong landed and rushed straight to Changsha City along the way.

But since Zhou Yu and Sun Ce want to withdraw, of course they will not be stupid and do nothing directly.

Before retreating, Zhou Yu made a lot of debris and fire-driven objects on the way Pang Tong's army must pass to Changsha City, leaving a suicide squad to ambush Pang Tong. He was waiting for Pang Tong to come in a hurry and turned Pang Tong into a roast chicken.

Fortunately, Pang Tong was clever and sent someone to investigate first, otherwise Zhou Yu would have been baked by this.

After being hit by Zhou Yu's many strategies, Pang Tong became much smarter.

Since it was a suicide squad, they had never thought of going back alive. Zhou Yu had already given them another order. If Pang Tong saw through the plan, they would ignite the fire and use the fire to stop Pang Tong's marching.

After the suicide squad was discovered, a person who was fearless and ignited the fire. Even if they were killed by Pang Tong's soldiers, they would do whatever they could.

The fire ignited, and Pang Tong could only wait outside the flames.

"Damn! Zhou Yu, you kid is cruel enough! Use such means to stop me!" Pang Tong had no choice but to curse himself. He couldn't step on the fire.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, who were already on the evacuation road, saw thick smoke rising and understood that Pang Tong's army was coming.

"Gongjin, fortunately you made preparations, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if you were really dragged down by Pang Tong." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu said: "Pang Tong is impatient and can make plans. What I worry most is Sima Yi, this guy is too tolerant. We must march as soon as possible, otherwise Sima Yi will be rushed over, and the losses will be huge."

"This is natural! If you pass the order, the entire army will speed up its march!" Sun Ce knew what he should do.

This retreat was decided temporarily, and the Jiangdong Army had no preparation at all. There was still a large amount of supplies in Changsha, and these things could not be taken away.

After some generals knew that they were going to retreat, they proposed to destroy all their supplies, including Changsha City.

If you can’t take it away, don’t keep it for the Shenwu court. If you can’t get it, you will destroy it!

As soon as these words were said, these generals were beaten by Sun Ce.

If Sun Ce burned other places, he would not say anything. But Changsha cannot do it. There are too many memories of Sun Ce and too many traces of the Sun family here. It is rare that the people of Changsha still remember the Sun family after so many years. If Sun Ce obeyed these bastards and destroyed Changsha this time, not only will Sun Ce never be able to take back Changsha in the future, but the descendants of the Sun family will become enemies of the entire Changsha in the future. Even if Jiangdong occupied Changsha after its prosperity, Changsha would rebel.

Moreover, once Changsha is destroyed, the Shenwu court will definitely take revenge wildly. In the past, when heroes arose together, massacre and destroy the city were common. But after Liu Yu ascended the throne, the direction of the wind changed. None of the princes who were guilty of great evil will have a good end! Sun Ce believes that as the emperor, Liu Yu knew that Sun Ce destroyed Changsha and annexed Changsha in the future, he would definitely deal with the descendants of the Sun family and give an explanation to the people of Changsha.

As the master of man, it is normal for Sun Ce to think like this. After his defeat, he will die. If his descendants cannot keep it, that is the saddest thing. It would be better to leave some room for everything.

The generals made such suggestions that Sun Ce would not kill them because of his past contributions.

Several generals who were beaten up by Sun Ce felt very wronged and came to Zhou Yu to complain.

Zhou Yu also felt that these generals deserved it, so he cursed several people without saying anything. Zhou Yu was too lazy to explain to these rough people, and after scolding them, he turned around and left.

Several generals looked confused and didn't know where they were wrong. But they secretly decided not to mention the same thing in front of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in the future. After being beaten once, they still didn't remember to beat them. That was really a fool.

The Jiangdong Army retreated collectively, and even if it was small, it attracted the attention of the people.

The Changsha people who had surrendered to Sun Ce were suddenly panicked. They were Sun Jian who surrendered to Sun Ce. Now Sun Ce was leaving without saying a word, leaving them to face the imperial army, and that joke was a big deal.

Being in the southern part of Jingzhou, I didn’t feel much favor from the court. The people were quite honest and would follow whoever gave them a stable life. If Sun Ce left and the court would send his anger on the people, they would have to cry.

Sun Ce can no longer control these people now. Although he also wants to control them, time is tight. If he doesn't evacuate, he will wait to be dragged by Sima Yi. By then, the strength of the Jiangdong Army will be weakened again.

"Let's go!" Sun Ce looked at the majestic Changsha City and sighed.

After leaving this time, Sun Ce didn't know when he would be able to return to Changsha.

The people could only accept their fate. The aristocratic families who did not express their loyalty to Sun Ce were ecstatic. They understood how correct the decision they had made before, otherwise they would be the ones who were troubled now.

Zhou Yu designed a very fast and safe route for Sun Ce, which could definitely avoid the pursuit and obstruction of Liu Jun. Moreover, Zhou Yu also asked someone to send intelligence to Lu Su of Yuzhang County as soon as possible, asking him to lead the army to garrison Liuyang City immediately, and then send troops to respond to Sun Ce.

Sima Yi and Zhou Yu thought of going together.

It just depends on whether Ma Chao arrived at Liuyang City in one step or Lu Su was stationed in Liuyang first.

In fact, Sima Yi's reaction was still a little slower.

Gao Shun's army rushed north and encountered no obstacles. The Jiangdong Army did not have any nostalgia for Changsha. If Gao Shun found out such a situation, he knew it was not good.

When Gao Shunan arrived at Changsha City safely, he found that Changsha City is now without a Jiangdong Army, only some former yamen runners and private soldiers of aristocratic families were guarding the order. Of course, the aristocratic families would not miss such an opportunity to show loyalty.

Immediately, Pang Tong waited until the fire was extinguished and arrived in Changsha City almost at the same time as Gao Shun.

Pang Tong and Gao Shun met together.

When Pang Tong saw Gao Shun take the lead, he was a little slower and felt like crying. If Changsha City was lost, he should have taken it back. Now that Gao Shun has intercepted him, Pang Tong felt that he would be a little weaker when he would explain to Liu Yu in the future.

"Zhou Yu! Zhou Yu! You kid are born to cheat me, right? And Sun Ce! Why don't you stay for a while? At least you block Gao Shun for a while!" Pang Tong started to curse again.

What kind of celebrity style and gentleness are not worth mentioning now for Pang Tong.
