Before the Jiangdong Army encountered a surprise attack, many of its camp commanders and captains had been assassinated. Under such circumstances, one can imagine what the army would look like in the face of an enemy surprise attack.

"Gong Jin, the Bingzhou Army has such a powerful force, which is extremely disadvantageous to the coalition of princes." Sun Ce said with a heavy tone.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly. Although the benefits that can be gained from fighting Bingzhou are huge, if they fail, they will lose even more. Fortunately, Jiangdong and Bingzhou are far apart. Even if the Bingzhou army retaliates, it will be against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao or Ma

Just fly.

"My lord, I wonder what you think of this alliance of princes attacking Bingzhou?" Zhou Yu suddenly asked. Since Huguan could not be captured for a long time and the princes' army was in a situation where the plague was spreading, Zhou Yu had more to think about.

Compared with the situation during the Warring States Period, the number of troops of the coalition of princes was much smaller at this time, and the elite level of the Bingzhou Army was probably not much different from that of the Qin Army at that time. In terms of equipment, it was even more advanced than the princes. The victory of the coalition of princes was

The number of soldiers is large, and the Bingzhou Army is superior to the elite. Otherwise, the raid last night would have caused heavy losses to all the camps of the three princes.

Sun Ce said: "The Marquis of Jin is a very human being. When Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he dared to lead thousands of soldiers to deal with the elite Xiliang Army. It is obvious that the Jiangdong Army is good at water warfare. It was not suitable to go to Bingzhou to fight. Now,

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In January, the weather will get cooler, so maybe the war situation will improve."

Zhou Yu whispered: "Could it be that my lord thought that the Bingzhou army was incapable of fighting?"

Sun Ce's eyes tightened, "What does Gong Jin mean?"

"If war is not possible, Jiangdong's army will make plans early on. Jiangdong and Bingzhou are far apart. There is no need to worry about a large-scale invasion of Bingzhou's army in a short time. If the coalition of princes cannot break through Bingzhou, how can the land promised by Cao Cao be realized?

"

"If Cao Cao's son dares to do this, he will become Jiangdong's mortal enemy." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu advised: "My lord, you must not act out of emotion at this time. What I said is just in case. Jiangdong is currently stable, but the princes in the region are far behind. Jingzhou is the best choice. After conquering Jingzhou, we can make progress."

If the state is established, the lord will have the possibility to conquer the world."

Sun Ce's heart moved and he aspired to the world. After hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, the people and ministers of the Han Dynasty mostly regarded themselves as Han people. It's not that some people don't want to aspire to the throne, but they don't have enough strength. Now the situation of the Han Dynasty is indeed serious.

Because of the differences, the princes attacked each other, the people suffered from wars for a long time, and the influence of the Han Dynasty was very weak.

"In this matter, Gong Jin can pay close attention to the movements of the princes." Sun Ce said slowly.

After Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Yang Feng led the victorious troops back to Huguan, the morale in the pass was greatly boosted. Many generals in the army even requested a fight to the death with the armies of the princes. Faced with such requests, Lu Bu refused.

In the decisive battle with the princes, Lu Bu is confident of winning. However, after the victory, the Bingzhou army will definitely suffer great losses. The training of the Bingzhou army is not like the training of the princes' army. It cannot be successful overnight. If the losses are heavy, it will be difficult to recover in a short time.

, even if you win the battle against the princes, it will be difficult to gain too many benefits.

Although the allied forces of the princes were raided by the Bingzhou Army, they did not continue to attack Huguan. The plague of the princes' army was not controlled for the time being. The princes focused more on this matter. At the same time, the princes were also waiting for the attack.

The changes in Bingzhou, if the cavalry led by Xu Chu can disrupt Bingzhou, it will be extremely beneficial to the coalition of princes.

Longguan, under the continuous attack of the army led by Ma for a month, the advantage of the thunder chariot in Longguan has been greatly weakened by Ma. Looking from a distance, Longguan is even more devastated, and the Bingzhou Army in Guan has been reduced to more than a thousand.

Many of the soldiers were wounded, and most of the three thousand defenders were lost. This was also placed on the Bingzhou Army. If it were the armies of other princes, I am afraid that the soldiers had already begun to flee.

Looking at the dense Xiliang army outside the pass, Wei Xu's expression showed determination. He had followed Lu Bu for many years. As the Bingzhou army gradually grew, he could truly feel that his position in the army was becoming more and more embarrassing.

In terms of intelligence, Wei Xuzhi was far inferior to Zhao Yun and others, and could only be regarded as a general with acceptable martial arts. However, in the Bingzhou Army, there were too many generals with acceptable martial arts. When he was ordered to garrison Longguan, Wei Xu

I secretly told myself that I must make some achievements.

The strength of the soldiers under Ma's command was beyond Wei Xu's expectation. He knew that the situation at Jiguan was more critical at this time and Longguan needed more soldiers and horses to guard it. There were 20,000 Xiliang troops outside Longguan. However,

The Jingzhou army outside Jiguan had 60,000 troops.

"This general has been ordered by my lord to guard Longguan. Currently, Chang'an does not have many reinforcements to support Longguan. The checkpoints around Chang'an require a large number of soldiers. Currently, there are only 1,050 defenders in the pass." Wei.

He continued with a heavy tone.

General He Lu said: "General, just give the order. If the general retreats at all, please behead him."

The same is true for the other generals. As the generals of the Bingzhou Army, they have no idea of ​​retreat. It doesn't matter if the enemy is strong. But anyone who can become a captain of the Bingzhou Army has experienced battles one after another.

"Okay, I am very pleased that you all are so determined. I recall that when I followed the Marquis of Jin, there were no more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and only a few generals. However, the Bingzhou Army came back from repeated setbacks, and the horses

They are just people who live in a corner. What ability do they have? If they dare to go against the Marquis of Jin, they will surely die sooner or later."

After the general returned to the army and conveyed the order, a piece of Jin paper was placed in front of each soldier. Several literate soldiers walked up to the soldiers, listened to the soldiers' words, and slowly wrote on the Jin paper.

"I apologize for not being able to fulfill my filial piety. However, my child died to protect the people under the rule of the Marquis of Jin. In the words of the Marquis of Jin, he died a well-deserved death. After the child dies, the parents do not need to worry about what will happen after his death. The child believes in the Marquis of Jin."

"Speaking of this, the soldier burst into tears.

The soldier responsible for recording also shed tears. This was an explanation of what happened after death. Every time he wrote, the soldier responsible for recording felt heavy. Behind this letter, there may be death or survival.

A full hour later, one thousand and fifty pieces of Jin paper were stacked neatly and placed on the table in front of Wei Xu. This was not only the sustenance of the soldiers for what happened after their death, but also represented that they would fight to the death.
