"Sun Ce from Jiangdong actually took out a 50,000 army from Qu'a, and landed in Linhuai in the direction of Hongze Lake in Baima Lake?!" Liu Mang looked at the letter in his hand. This was the message from Shouchun, which was what happened in Yangzhou since Yang Hong's time. Liu Mang is not in Xiangyang now, he lived in Fancheng next to Xiangyang for a day! Since Liu Mang was attacked last time, not only Liu Mang was worried, but also Liu Biao was a little panicked. He didn't want Liu Mang to die in Jingzhou, so he gave Liu Mang a thousand soldiers and horses to escort because he was afraid that Liu Mang would be attacked again. With the followers of these thousand people, Liu Mang rested in Fancheng for a day.

The spies from Yangzhou who were just behind this day brought the intelligence letter to Liu Mang.

"Fifty thousand army, where did Sun Ce get his troops?!" Jia Xu frowned and said, Jiangdong originally had 90,000 elite naval troops, and Danyang soldiers, a total of 100,000 elite armored soldiers, but outside Anhui City, Liu Mang and Gan Ning were killed 30,000 at once, and there were 70,000 left. These 70,000 soldiers, in Jiangxia, Liu Biao's offensive against Jiangdong was simply described as fierce. Last time Liu Biao was played with by this Jiangdong child, Liu Biao was angry in his heart. Now Jiangxia just wants people to give them to others, warships to warships, as long as Zhuge Liang Just take the troops and horses to attack with Wenpin. After losing the Sanjiangkou, it is about to be recaptured. The Jingzhou naval army has 70,000 troops in Jiangxia. Although Sun Ce's Jiangdong naval army's overall quality is higher than that of the Jingzhou naval army, it is not much higher and it has not been able to achieve a qualitative change. Therefore, in this Jiangxia, the Jiangdong naval army must at least more than half of the troops and horses compete with the Jingzhou naval army, even if it is 40,000 troops! Then there are only 30,000 troops near the Jianye Circle! Is this Jiangdong Sun Ce's son pressing all the troops in Linhuai? His Jianye no longer wants it?

"It's impossible for Jianye, but Jianye is no longer the Jianye before!" Liu Mang shook his head. Jianye is the nest of the Jiangdong Army, how could he not want it? "The current Jiangdong Sun Ce can bring out such troops, and those gentry can say that they have great power!" Liu Mang was thinking, to know that in the last battle of Anhui City, Liu Mang really didn't expect that Jiangdong Sun Ce could bring out 100,000 troops. You must know that in the Battle of Chibi on the original trajectory, Jiangdong only brought out 40,000 troops, and his treasured good friend Liu Bei only had only 50,000 troops.

But now he took out 100,000 troops and horses at once, which made Liu Mang stunned. Even if Jiangdong has not had so many years of war, it cannot be so terrifying. You should know that Sun Ce had 30,000 naval troops in Jiangxia and 30,000 elite troops in Jianye, and the total here is more than 150,000.

Later, after Liu Mang won the battle, he realized that Sun Ce had only taken out 30,000 troops and horses in this battle against Lujiang. The remaining 70,000 troops and horses were not Sun Ce himself, but those of the Jiangdong gentry. The Jiangdong gentry gave Sun Ce support. The 70,000 troops and 30,000 elite troops were just enough to make up 100,000. The battle in Chibi was the battle of the gentry that did not want or dared to fight against Lao Cao, for fear that after Sun Biyan and Liu Da'er lost, Lao Cao would settle the score later, and only 50,000 troops would fight Lao Cao's 800,000 troops.

So the foundation of this gentry is very strong. Liu Mang is a little lucky. If there were so many gentry in Yangzhou, his government and land reform could be implemented! Once these gentry rebelled and opposed it, it would be over. A gentry in Wancheng would almost make Lu Bujun go barely, let alone the entire gentry in Yangzhou.

"There must be more than 10,000 elite troops among these 50,000 troops! Maybe even more!" Jia Xu quickly gave an estimated number, because the largest hidden threat in Jiangdong is gone, so he can basically take out tens of thousands of troops without being wary of Shanyue's rebellion at any time.

And these mountainous areas were all sent to Yangzhou by the good man Liu Mang. When Liu Mang thought of this, he would smile bitterly. He was simply a living Bodhisattva, and he was plotted by others. He also indirectly helped him.

"Fifty thousand soldiers!" Liu Mang also thought that his siege and attacked the aid could make Jiangdong provoke so many soldiers. It was not just a siege and attacked, but was beaten. And the last time Sun Ce came to Liu Mang could resist Liu Mang because Liu Mang was defending the city and had a strong wall in Ancheng City. Now he is the attacking side, basically fighting in the field. That is, a direct battle.

"Drop the urban management army to Zhang Liao!" Liu Mang said to Jia Xu, asking Jia Xu to write a secret letter to Yangzhou.

Zhang Liao only had the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Black Chess Army. Although both were elite and heavy armored troops. However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has not yet been truly formed and has been newly surrendered. The 5,000 Black Chess Army cannot beat ten, and the Jiangdong Navy on the opposite side also has elite troops. In addition, the defenders on the way, it is not easy to fight. Liu Mang added another sentence, "If it is not possible, let Zhang Liao retreat to Shouchun!" With reinforcements like Sun Ce in Jiangdong, these troops may not be able to take Linhuai, but Sun Ce in Jiangdong could not imagine how much he would peer at Yangzhou, because there were Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in the camp beside him! Liu Mang didn't know that his father-in-law had already taken the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to the west and headed towards Nanyang.

"Lord, no need?!" Jia Xu was about to write, but after seeing the letter, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"No need?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment and didn't understand, but Jia Xu explained.

"Xu Shu's military advisor has already allocated the city management army to Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao refused to join the city management army, and he said that he must rely on the black chess and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to capture Linhuai and help the lord fight back the enemy and complete the previous strategy!"

"Nonsense, isn't this playing the piano randomly?" Liu Mang immediately slapped the table. "Who did Zhang Liao think he was a grandson, or Wuzi, or Yue Wumu?!"

"Who is this Yue Wumu?" Jia Xu knew both of the two in the previous period, one was Sun Wu and the other was Wu Qi. Both of them were famous strategists and military strategists in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Sun Wu wrote about Sun Tzu's Art of War passed down through the ages. Wu Qi helped Wei Wenhou almost become the overlord and left behind the book "Wu Zi", but who is this Yue Wumu?

Liu Mang did not answer what Jia Xu said. Liu Mang knew that Zhang Liao was a general, and knew that he could govern a state and attack a side. But he also had to have strength. Now the enemy is more than five times that of his own. You still want to conquer cities and land and finally defeat the enemy. You don’t even want to reinforce you. This is nothing nonsense.

"Wenhe, write immediately for me to let the city management army go east. Go to Linhuai to help Zhang Liao! Tell him to either withdraw or accept reinforcements for me. This is a military order that cannot be disobeyed!" Liu Mang was angry. When Zhang Liao was in Shouchun, he was very dissatisfied with staying in Yangzhou. Liu Mang thought it was just a little problem. But he didn't expect that this problem was so big that it actually made Zhang Liao arrogant. He Zhang Liao wanted to defeat Yangzhou so that he could kick him back to Lujiang? If he was defeated, Zhang Liao would be ready to stay in Linhuai forever.

"Yes!" Jia Xu picked up the letter and started grinding and writing.

"Wenhe, who is the head general who went to the east to fight against Linhuai?" Liu Mang wanted to know the head general so that he could find out if there was any information about this person.

Jia Xu said without raising his head in the letter: "This time, Sun Ce from Jiangdong went to war, not why the main general who went to war was not his veteran, Huang Gai Han Dang and others. It was not Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin with his left arm, but his second brother Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou!"

"Oh, it turns out to be Sun Quan!" Liu Mang said subconsciously, but then his eyes glared, "Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou?" The voice was louder and more than several decibels.

Even Jia Xu was shocked. "What's wrong, lord? Is this person very strong?!"

"Haha, strong, really strong! This man is blue-eyed and purple-haired. He was the magistrate of Kuaiji at the age of fourteen. He managed the entire Kuaiji in an orderly manner! This man does not need to be a master of his elder brother Sun Ce!"

"Ahhhh!" Jia Xu was also stunned by Liu Mang's words. Purple hair and blue eyes. Isn't this a tyrannical attitude of a king? He was born with visions, and such people could easily gather people's hearts. The ancients believed that such people would feel at ease, thinking that he was determined by destiny, just like when Emperor Gaozu just killed a little white snake. But he said that this was the son of the White Emperor, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guangyu collected books. These were used to bewitch people's hearts. Let people think that he was the fate of the heaven, but now Sun Quan was born with visions without deliberately doing it. Moreover, Liu Mang also said that this person's ability was very strong, and there was no need to be a match for his brother Sun Ce. Then Linhuai wouldn't be able to take it down this time.

Jia Xu thought Liu Mang would ask him to write to Zhang Liao to withdraw his troops, but who knew that Liu Mang laughed out loud.

"Wenhe, Wenhe, that letter does not need to be written, so let the city management army stay in Shouchun!" Liu Mang didn't want to add troops to Zhang Liao anymore.

"Lord, you?!" Jia Xu couldn't understand why Liu Mang was like this. Not only did he not increase his troops, but he was also very confident that Zhang Liao would continue to fight.

"Wenhe, Wenhe, of course I am confident, because this Zhang Liao is the natural nemesis of the Sun family's blue eyes!" Liu Mang said something that made Jia Xu unfaithful.

Of course Jia Xu would not understand. Zhang Liao is a handsome talent, and his true handsome talent is reflected in the Sun Family Biyan.

On the original trajectory, Sun Quan was determined to take Hefei as a forefront for his march into the Central Plains, but Hefei was indeed in the hands of Cao Cao at that time, so the two sides naturally had a good time. This led to the second battle in Hefei.

The background of the second Hefei battle was that Cao Cao failed to conquer Sun Quan in the south, leaving only Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and more than 7,000 people to defend Hefei. The next year, Sun and Liu fought in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to occupy Hanzhong. After Liu Bei compromised, he gave it to Sun Quan's three counties, and led his army back to fight with Cao Cao for Hanzhong. After Sun Quan's reconciliation with Liu Bei, he quickly worked in the army and concentrated 100,000 people to try to eat the Hefei defenders.

Cao Cao was prepared for this. Before going to Zhang Lu, Cao Cao sent a guard Xue Ti to Hefei to send a letter, ordering Zhang Liao to open it only when Sun Quan led his army to attack. Seeing that Cao Cao was in Hanzhong and failed to return to the east in time, Sun Quan personally led 100,000 people to Hefei.

Zhang Liao and Le Jin and Li Dian had always had conflicts. On the eve of Sun Quan's attack, Zhang Liao opened the letter sent by Cao Cao. Cao Cao reminded that if Sun Quan's army came, Zhang Liao and Li Dian should go out of the city to fight, and Le Jin led his army to defend the city, and as for the guard Xue Ti, he should not go to fight.

The Wei army was only 7,000 and the Wu army was 100,000. The troops were disparate between the two sides, and each general was puzzled by this instruction. Zhang Liao believed that Cao Cao was leading the army to fight outside. When the reinforcements he led arrived, Sun Quan's army would have defeated us. Therefore, the Jiaohan asked us to attack them in reverse before the enemy was assembled, first to set the enemy's momentum to stabilize the morale of the army, and then to defend the city smoothly. The opportunity for success or failure is here to fight. What are your doubts? Li Dian agrees with Zhang Liao's idea.

Li Dian and Zhang Liao were both brave generals, so they recruited warriors overnight, and a total of 800 people were obtained. Zhang Liao ordered the killing of cattle to reward the soldiers and prepared for tomorrow's battle. The Wu army was very morale. At dawn, Zhang Liao was armed with a halberd and took the lead in attacking. Although there were few Wei troops, they were all cavalry. Although there were many Wu troops, most of them were infantry. The cavalry was mobile and they left after killing. The Wu army could not surround the eight hundred Wei soldiers.

After Zhang Liao entered the Wu army camp, he killed dozens of Wu soldiers alone and killed two generals. During the assault, Zhang Liao shouted his name so that the Eastern Wu army would remember the name completely.

After rushing into the camp, Zhang Liao saw Sun Quan's flag and went crazy to kill him. Song Qian and Xu Sheng of the Wu army could not resist. The Wu army had never seen such a person who could rush and chop. In a hurry, all the soldiers were dispersed and fled back. Fortunately, Pan Zhang was supervising the battle behind. Seeing that the Wu army retreated, he hurriedly rode his horse to catch up and killed two deserters in the chaos. Seeing this, the soldiers all turned back and fought again and blocked Zhang Liao in front of Sun Quan's camp.

Seeing that the situation was so nervous, Sun Quan hurriedly climbed to the top of the nearby mountain and defended himself with a long spear. The Wu army general Zhang Liao blocked the mountain. Zhang Liao could not rush up the mountain, so he cursed Sun Quan at the foot of the mountain, trying to anger Sun Quan to go down the mountain to fight. Sun Quan was not Sun Ce, and he did not have the courage to fight one by one with his brother at any time. However, Sun Quan was pretty good and had a strong mentality. Although his life was critical, he still clearly saw that Zhang Liao had only brought a few hundred people, so he ordered the soldiers to surround Zhang Liao's 800 army.

Zhang Liao's mount has a good physique. After fighting for a long time, he was not tired. He led Zhang Liao out of the chaos. Dozens of Wei soldiers saw Zhang Liao rushing out and shouted that the general was going to abandon us? Seeing Zhuang Zhuang, Zhang Liao rushed into the encirclement net again, rushed out of the Wu army, and rescued the surrounded people. All hundreds of people in the remaining troops retreated into Hefei City.

After this battle, the Wu army was scared out of fear. He originally expected that 100,000 people would fight 7,000 people to take advantage of it. As a result, after this battle, the Wu army lost all its morale and suddenly lost its spirit. Sun Quan could only order the entire army to renovate the garrison, and the Cao army in Hefei had time to prepare. The Wei army defended Hefei to death, and Sun Quan easily led his army to surround Hefei. However, the Wu army attacked for more than ten days in a row, and encountered the defenders' defences. The Wu army suffered heavy casualties. It happened that the epidemic in Huainan was prevalent and many Wu army died of illness. Sun Quan could not do so, so he could only order the army to train, while he himself inexplicably led a thousand tiger soldiers, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Lu Meng, and Jiang Qin and several generals cut off the rear.

The Wu army retreated from Xiaoyaojin North. Zhang Liao saw the main force of the Wu army retreating on Hefei City, and took the opportunity to lead the army to pursue and surrounded Sun Quan. Sun's army one thousand people were immediately in chaos. After Sun Quan was surrounded, Ling Tong personally led 300 close troops to rush into the encirclement. Gan Ning led the bow and shot on the periphery. Lu Meng and Jiang Qin led hundreds of people to fight to the death to block the Wei army. Ling Tong fought in one battle and finally rescued Sun Quan. Ling Tong asked Sun Quan to leave alone first, and he turned back to fight to resist the Wei army. But on the way to escape, Sun Quan encountered a bridge that was destroyed by his own people. The bridge board was demolished, and Sun Quan could not pass. The Wei army arrived. Sun Quan jumped over the wall, grabbed the saddle, and used a run-up to rush across the broken bridge. Sun Quan encountered three thousand Wu army in the south of Xiaoyaojin, and his life was finally picked up.

After Sun Quan successfully escaped, Ling Tong and Gan Ning killed dozens of people while they were also traumatized and sneaked away in armor. This battle was the most humiliating battle in Sun Quan's life. 100,000 people fought 7,000, not only did they lose badly, but they were almost captured alive. The part that could fight the war was not because Sun Quan's military level was low, but because he had met his life's nemesis, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.

Just like Zhou Yu talked to Zhuge Liang, this kind of natural nemesis and fate is really hard to say!

At that time, Zhang Liao could use 7,000 people to fight against Sun Quan's 100,000 troops, but now Sun Quan has 50,000 troops, Zhang Liao has 5,000 heavy armored cavalry and 5,000 heavy armored infantry battles. Is there any excuse to lose? So in Jia Xu's unclear eyes, Liu Mang was very confident.
