The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 367
Seeing that Pan Zhang was killed by Gan Ning, Wen Pin shouted, "Pan Zhang is dead, the descendant will not be killed!"

"Pan Zhang is dead, the descendant will not be killed!" Wen Pin's soldiers also shouted loudly.Looking at Pan Zhang's body, the Jiangdong army felt desolate, and they were so tired that they had no intention of fighting any more, and they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

"Come here, bring Pan Zhang's body back to Moling and prepare a coffin for burial." Gan Ning ordered Pan Zhang's body to be carried back.

After killing Pan Zhang, Gan Ning wanted to continue the pursuit, but a fast horse rushed up from behind, and the soldiers immediately said to Gan Ning: "General Gan Ning, Xu Shijian said not to chase any more, if you continue to chase, you will arrive." Qu'a, there may be someone in Qu'a who will take care of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but we should wait for the Lord's army to arrive before taking any action."

Gan Ning also knew that it was difficult to catch up with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, so he nodded in agreement, and asked the soldier to ride a fast horse to inform Li Tong in front to give up the pursuit.

A few hours later, Gan Ning's army returned to Moling and counted the casualties. In this battle, a total of 500 enemies were killed and 500 were captured. However, they also lost [-] troops. Without victory, although the general situation of the Jiangdong Army is gone, its combat power is still strong and should not be underestimated. Once the enemy is underestimated, Sun Ce may turn defeat into victory at any time.

The next day, Li Yuan's army had all crossed the river. Gan Ning and others came out to greet them in person, and told about Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's breakthrough yesterday.

"My lord, it's useless to let Sun Ce and Zhou Yu break through the siege successfully, and please punish me!" Gan Ning took the initiative to take responsibility.

"Hahahaha, what is the crime of Xingba? You not only captured Chaisang and Danyang, but also Moling. Without you, how could I have crossed the river so easily? I am ashamed to say that Moling should have been attacked by my army. , but it took more than two months and still failed to win, you are still capable of Xingba." Li Yuan patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and smiled, without any blame.

"My lord is serious. If Zhou Yu hadn't attacked Guangling to disturb Xuzhou and Sun Ce attacked Lujiang, my lord would have crossed the river long ago. My lord's ability is far superior to mine." Although Gan Ning knew that he had made great contributions, he dared not compare with Li Yuan.

"Zhou Yu's use of troops is rare in the world. If it weren't for the flying cavalry army, he might have captured Xiapi, but now he is driven back to Wu County by us. Next, as long as Wu County is defeated, Jiangdong will be settled. The rest of Kuaiji, Yuzhou and Luling are nothing to worry about," Li Yuan waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go to the city and talk about it."

Li Yuan led the army into Moling, and discussed with the generals in the conference hall.

"Xingba, I brought a total of 4 people to cross the river this time, plus your existing 6000 sailors, more than 7 people from Wenda, and [-] sailors from Zhongye. , The total force has reached more than [-], which is enough to capture the entire Jiangdong, how should our army attack next, do you have any good strategies?" Li Yuan sat on the main seat, looking at everyone, his current force is far away. To win against Sun Ce, unless there is external help, Sun Ce will undoubtedly lose.

"My lord, we can march in two ways, attack Yuzhang and Luling one way, and attack Wujun and Kuaiji the other way. In this way, we can capture Jiangdong as quickly as possible. Yujin still has more than 4000 defenders in Chaisang. They can Cooperate with us in attacking Yuzhang and Luling," Gan Ning suggested.

"Chai Sang still has so many troops?" Li Yuan asked in amazement.

"Yes, the general was worried that the enemy would send troops from Yuzhang to attack Chaisang, so he specially asked Yu Jin to guard Chaisang." Gan Ning replied.

"What do you think of Zhicai?" Li Yuan asked Xi Zhicai habitually.

"My lord, the situation is very clear now. Sun Ce doesn't have many troops at his disposal. Our slow attack is enough to overwhelm them. General Gan Ning's words are feasible." Xi Zhicai didn't have any tricks to use, and they didn't use them given the current situation. What strategy is enough to defeat Sun Ce.

"Okay, then act according to Xingba's words," Li Yuan ordered, "Xingba, Wenda, and Zhongye, the three of you will lead your respective troops to attack Yuzhang and Luling. Xingba will be the commander. The strength of the army is not as good as ours, but we can't carelessly underestimate the enemy."

"The last general takes orders!" Gan Ning, Li Tong and Wen Pin took orders and left.

"Han Sheng, Hua Xiong, and Fu Yi, the three of you will set off with me to attack Wu County, starting tomorrow!"

"Decree!" Huang Zhong and the others immediately went down to rectify the troops.

The next day, Li Yuan led the army to set off, with a total strength of 4 people. The army marched mightily towards Wujun, but before arriving in Wujun, they would pass through Qu'a County. Qu'a is located in the south of Moling, and they arrived at Qu'a Only three days away.

Three days later, Li Yuan's army was very close to Qu'a. Qu'a was only a small county and it was very easy to attack. Zhicai has other ideas.

"My lord, although Qu'a is a small county, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu passed by here a few days ago. Zhou Yu used his soldiers like a god. I don't know if he will set up an ambush in Qu'a. We can't attack Qu'a rashly. We should go first. It would be better to send scouts to check." Xi Zhicai was very cautious, although the advantage was on their side, he did not underestimate the enemy, and it can be said that he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, after all, the enemy still had a powerful man named Zhou Yu.

"Zhi Cai makes sense." Li Yuan nodded, and asked Hou Cheng to lead dozens of riders to Qu'a to inquire about information.

Hou Cheng is Huang Zhong's general, and he has been fighting with Huang Zhong since he surrendered. Although he is not a general, he has a lot of skills and won Huang Zhong's trust.

Hou Cheng led dozens of riders to Qu'a to investigate information. When he arrived in Qu'a, he saw that Qu'a was much smaller than he imagined, even worse than ordinary county towns.

Hou Cheng didn't rush into Qu'e, but checked outside. Seeing that the gate of Qu'a city was wide open and there were no soldiers guarding it, he felt a little puzzled, so he rode his horse and ran into the city to check. After entering the city, he found that the streets were empty. , not a single commoner, quite strange.

"What's going on, why are there no common people in Qu'a?" Hou Cheng said to himself.A gust of cool wind blows and falls a few leaves, and the empty streets look a little lonely.

"General Hou, it should be Sun Ce who took the people away together. They knew that the Lord's army was coming, so they didn't want to stay. They followed Sun Ce to Wu County." A soldier speculated.

"Although the words are reasonable, we still need to investigate carefully. You go to investigate the information separately, and if you find something abnormal, send an arrow to notify the others, and come back here to gather in an hour." Hou Cheng thought it was better to investigate carefully. Can't handle it.
