Chapter 716: The Experience of Jiangdong Army

Jia Xu is now a talent with seven virtues, including loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, fraternity, trustworthiness and integrity. In other words, he is shameless.

If you are shameless, you are shameless. Jia Xu doesn’t care anymore. This world is dangerous, and nothing is more important than his own wealth and life.

If Liu Yu can ask Jia Xu to come to Xuzhou to take charge, then he will value Jia Xu and believe that Jia Xu can fully grasp the affairs of Xuzhou. If he does well, he will be prosperous and wealthy, and his descendants will benefit him endlessly. If he does not do well, he will be punished at the worst.

The purpose of severing a person's future is like killing his parents. Jia Xu's parents' bones are unknown, and now they are only his own life and future. Jia Xu is now highly valued and very safe. He will not violate any orders from Liu Yu. Of course, if Liu Yu wants Jia Xu to die, Jia Xu will definitely resist.

Now Liu Yu did not let Jia Xu die, but just let Jia Xu defend Xuzhou. Jia Xu knew what he should do, and defending Xuzhou would be a great contribution. Sun Ce and Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in a crazy way, which was to be incomparable to Jia Xu. The vicious old fox Jia Xu would not estimate any etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and use any means that they are useful.

Having said that, how much is etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame? Jia Xu knows how to consider it.

Gao Lan from Qingzhou received a letter of help from Jia Xu, and immediately lit up 30,000 troops to support him.

Gao Lan has not been good or bad in these years.

Gao Lan was once one of the "Four Pillars of Hebei" and had a great reputation in the north. After surrendering to Liu Yu, Gao Lan was always very loyal to Liu Yu. Liu Yu also believed that Gao Lan's loyalty allowed him to station in Hebei. Gao Lan's reputation was very big at the bottom, but the scholars in Hebei had no good face to Gao Lan. After Gao Lan came to Liu Yu's command, he did not take into account the previous relationships and other things, and was completely in business.

But Liu Yu seemed to have forgotten him, and many major battles were not allowed to go to Gao Lan.

Gao Lan had no complaints or anything like that. There were too many generals in Liu Yu's army who were better than him, so it was normal for him not to turn to him. Therefore, Gao Lan could only do his job conscientiously so that Liu Yu could see his efforts.

Now that Xuzhou needs his help, Gao Lan will naturally not miss such an opportunity.

If it is done well, it is possible that Gao Lan may be able to re-enter Liu Yu's core circle.

The whole country of Xuzhou began to do what Jia Xu told him, and the soldiers were a little disgusted with this behavior. But unfortunately, the reward given by Jia Xu was so tempting, both food and gold, and the highest reward could be awarded a title! The criticism and insisted on making a sharp head and keeping his head on his waist, just thinking that he could fight for wealth for future generations? Now that the top of the peak has given such a big cake, if he doesn't work hard to win, who knows whether this benefit will fall on his own.

So the soldiers did not feel frustrated because of this, but instead became enthusiastic about work. Some of them joined forces and fought against the enemy together, and received rewards and shared the same share.

The people were also in high spirits. Jia Xu's order was written with the word "military and civilian", which means they also had a chance. Although the people of this era had never read any books and could not recognize many words. But they could listen. When they heard that they had food, money and titles, this was a good thing that could not be found even with a lantern.

The people don't have any sharp and hard guys on hand, but they have their own plans.

Poisoning in a well is too easy, just find some toxic plants and throw them in. As for your drinking water problem, you can only dig another well.

Some people even dig pits and traps on the road, preparing to give the enemy a cruelty.

But this was stopped by the official. Digging a pit and getting a trap is effective, but it will be useless if the enemy loses once or twice. If one is not good, it will hurt one's own people.

Well, the enthusiasm of the people was poured on a cold water.

In any case, the whole of Xuzhou began to move.

Cao Ren's army outside Xiaopei City was unable to implement Jia Xu's plan in a fierce battle, but Sun Ce's army in Xuzhou began to be unlucky.

After Sun Ce landed in Guangling, he handed over the important logistics task to Zhou Yu, and he led his troops to Xuzhou.

Sun Ce still remembers his failure in Xuzhou before. Now Guan Yu and other military generals are not around. Sun Ce, whose martial arts and realm have improved a little, feels that he is invincible in Xuzhou. Now it is Sun Ce's best chance to avenge his previous shame and capture Xuzhou. Zhou Yu also feels that Sun Ce's idea is fine. He even thinks that the most important thing in the Xuzhou conquest is logistics issues, so he presided over the Guangling County first and then followed Sun Ce in the future.

Sun Ce originally led his troops to advance smoothly in Xuzhou. The Liu army troops in Xuzhou all rely on the city to defend. Sun Ce was extremely brave and Liu Jun was defeated step by step.

Liu Jun retreated, but there was no large-scale defeat, and Sun Ce didn't care. Anyway, things developed according to his and Zhou Yu's plan. During the smooth march, Sun Ce discovered some problems.

Some of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army developed diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms.

At first, Sun Ce thought it was a matter of not adapting to the local environment, but as the scale and number of people continued to increase, Sun Ce was worried that this was not a simple matter of not adapting to the local environment.

Eventually, the matter came to an end. When a soldier was fetching water in a stream, he found some toxic substances upstream.

Sun Ce finally realized that it was just the enemy who used poison in the water. People always had to eat and drink water. Many people have directly fetched water from the river these days, not to mention the army, which uses so much water, so they can only fetch water from the river.

"It's so despicable! He actually poisoned the water! He ordered all soldiers not to drink the water from the river and use well water instead." Sun Ce made a change immediately.

But the well that Sun Ce encountered was also poisonous. Sun Ce was stunned. What was going on? Didn’t Liu Jun from Xuzhou know that he wouldn’t have to drink all the water sources?

If a person does not eat and drink water, he can still hold on for a while. But if he does not drink water, he will die in a few days. On this battlefield, if he has no water, he will be drunk.

There are always more solutions than problems, and Sun Ce quickly found a solution.

This method is to start with the people, and Sun Ce did not believe that there was no source of edible water there.

As expected, the people of Xuzhou had other water sources, which temporarily alleviated the water use problem of the Jiangdong Army.

Because of this drinking water problem, a large number of Jiangdong Army were poisoned. These soldiers must be treated, and Sun Ce could not leave these soldiers alone. However, the poisoned soldiers were not poisoned, but there were many kinds. Sun Ce had to leave some troops to take care of these soldiers who were not combat-capable.

Sun Ce was angry with Liu Jun of Xuzhou's shameless behavior. After suffering losses, Sun Ce also became smart. He ordered all soldiers to bring enough drinking water and never drink water from outside. Even if they had to drink it, they had to boil it before drinking it.

Sun Ce's order was implemented, and the soldiers suffered a loss, and they did not dare to drink water any more.

While passing by a fruit forest, Sun Ce's troops stopped moving forward and prepared to take a rest.

This fruit forest is already full of fruits, and you will know it is ripe by smelling the fragrance.

Zhou Tai took some soldiers to pick all these fruits, and even picked a basket of fruits with the best quality to Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce saw such a good fruit, his index finger was moving. The weather was extremely hot, so eating some fruit was a good choice.

When Sun Ce picked up a fruit and was about to bite it, soldiers wailed not far away. Many soldiers surrounded him.

"What's going on?" Sun Ce hurriedly put down the fruit in his hand, then came to the crowd, and found several soldiers wailing with their stomachs covering their stomachs.

A soldier hurriedly said, "Lord, these brothers ate the fruit in their hands and it's like this."

When Sun Ce saw the bitten fruit on the ground, his cold sweat broke out and shouted, "Don't throw away all the fruits, this is poisonous!"

"Ah? It's poisonous!" The soldier hurriedly threw away the fruit in his hand.

Zhou Tai looked panicked. He just saw Sun Ce almost ate the fruit. If Sun Ce had eaten it, Zhou Tai would have been guilty.

"God bless you!" Zhou Tai could only attribute the credit to God's blessing to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce looked entangled. The Xuzhou Liu Jun was really shameless and actually used poison on the fruit.

If you can use poison on fruits, you can use poison on other things, such as food.

"I passed the order of this general, and all things in Xuzhou that are unknown to the source must not be eaten!" Sun Ce issued another order.

"As for order!" Zhou Tai and others took the order.

Although he knew that the enemy used poison, Jiangdong was expeditioned. Even if he had the Guangling County base, it could not always support the amount of food and grass for the Jiangdong army to fight in Xuzhou. Sun Ce had wanted to use the wealthy money and grain of Xuzhou to achieve the battle in Xuzhou by fighting.

In this situation, Sun Ce had no choice.

Sun Ce’s intention of raising war with war. As an old fox, Jia Xu didn’t know? raising war with war was something that Jia Xu used to raising war many years ago.

Sun Ce asked Zhou Tai: "Do you know who is in charge of Xuzhou now?"

Zhou Tai said: "Go back to the lord, the head of Xuzhou is said to be a guy named Guo Tu."

"Guo Tu and Guo Gongze! The guy who sells his owners and seeks honor, no wonder he uses such shameless means!" Sun Ce had heard of Guo Tu's name, so he pushed all the responsibility on Guo Tu.

Since Liu Yu secretly arranged for Jia Xu to go to Xuzhou, Cao Cao and Sun Ce did not know that Jia Xu was in Xuzhou, so Guo Tu could only take the blame for Jia Xu.

"Master, what else can we do?" asked Taishici, who had not spoken for a long time.

"Well, this situation should be allowed to let Gongjin come. Ziyi, arrange for the knight to rush back to Guangling County to tell Gongjin what I encountered, and let Gongjin come here immediately!" At this time, Sun Ce remembered Zhou Yu, who was far away in Guangling County.

"Yes, lord!" Taishi Ci took the order and left.

But not long after, Taishici returned with a pale face.

"Lord, I'm afraid there are no knights to go to Guangling now." Taishici said with a heavy face.

"What's the situation?!" Sun Ce had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Taishici lowered his head and said, "Lord, our war horses are now poisoned and are all limp on the ground."

"What! All war horses are poisoned! What's going on!?" Sun Ce was shocked.

Jiangdong is not a horse-producing land, and the number of war horses is pitiful. Now, a small number of war horses used by Jiangdong are smuggled from seas at high prices, and the rest are descendants of Sun Ce’s original war horses. In other words, war horses are more expensive than gold in Jiangdong.

Now that the war horses are poisoned, it would be strange if Sun Ce is not shocked.

Sun Ce came to the war horses frantically and saw a large number of war horses lying on the ground. Many war horses foamed at the mouth and couldn't even stand.

The war horse incident finally came to the root of it.

When Sun Ce's army was resting, the war horses were also led by the soldiers to the grassland to find fresh forage. The grassland was also sprinkled with poison. The war horses were hungry and driven by hunger. They ate whatever they were in front of them. In the end, they were poisoned, which was what Sun Ce saw now.

Well, Sun Ce has already cursed at the head coach of Liu Jun in Xuzhou: "It's despicable! It's shameless! I have no son! I have no son and grandson! Guo Gongze, I, Sun Bofu, will definitely kill you!"

Well, the innocent Guo Tu took the blame for Jia Xu again.

"Take my general's mount here! Ziyi, you go to Guangling County to inform Gongjin and ask him to lead the troops to support him. The entire army stops moving forward before Gongjin comes!" Sun Ce missed Zhou Yu very much now. He thought that if Zhou Yu acted with him, such a thing would never have happened.

Sun Ce's personal soldiers quickly led Sun Ce's mount over. Sun Ce's mount was a rare horse with a thousand miles of horses. With Sun Ce's status, this war horse certainly enjoyed the treatment that ordinary war horses did not have.

Now, only Sun Ce’s war horse in the Jiangdong army has not been poisoned.

Taishici felt Sun Ce's anxiety, quickly took the horse rope, and then rode a beautiful leap on the war horse and ran away.

Sun Ce looked at Taishi Ci who was leaving quickly and thought to himself: Ziyi, you have to hurry up!

Sun Ce knew that Liu Jun from Xuzhou would not just count, and there might be a conspiracy to deal with him.

Sun Ce immediately ordered the scout to go out and inquire about the situation, and be sure to know whether the enemy was near him.

The scouts were really unlucky. They used to have war horses to use, but now they have no horses, so they feel a little helpless.

No matter how helpless they are, they have to do it when the task is over. Who told them to make this bowl of rice?

But the scouts were not stupid either. Without war horses, they changed their mode and left a man at any distance, so that they could speed up the transmission of messages.

After looking at the surrounding terrain, Sun Ce directly went straight to a valley not far away and said, "The whole army headed towards that valley, and built fortifications based on this valley!"

Zhou Tai was a little confused. Isn’t he an attacker here? Why did the lord want to build fortifications?
