Chapter 1358: Separate
Two hours later, under the leadership of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Jiangdong soldiers and horses came to Wancheng.
On the top of the tower are the generals of the Yuan family, and on the bottom of the tower are the generals of Jiangdong.
The two groups met each other.
Gan Ning said, "Master, do you want to attack the city?"
Sun Ce glanced at the more than 20,000 wounded soldiers under his command, and shook his head: "Let's go! Go back to Jiangdong quickly, and the whole army will fight again!"
On the tower, Jia Xu also stopped Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others from calling for a fight.
Jia Xu said: "My lord has already defeated Liu Bei and pacified the East and West Rivers. After Banshi returns to the court, he will soon go to Jiangnan to pacify the Sun family. Our task is to guard Hefei and prevent the Sun family from taking Huainan. That is enough."
Cao Ren's face darkened: "Hefei is gone."
Zhang Xiu said with some concern: "Although Sun Ce was repelled, Hefei was lost. I don't know if the mission will be completed this time, and whether Duke Yan will be held accountable."
Jia Xu: "...Oh, it seems to be right. Forget it, General Qiao sent a letter to the lord, just wait for me with a few good words."
...
Based on the abbreviated text on the Raven Messenger, Bai Xiaowen has already simulated the general process of the Battle of Hefei.
"Jia Xu's layout has three advantages."
Bai Xiaowen raised three fingers and said slowly:
"First, burning Hefei will not only seriously damage Sun Ce's army, but also prevent Sun Ce from defending Huainan based on the strong city of Hefei. This decision is similar to my decision to demolish Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass. "
"Secondly, arrange for our army to divide into three groups and kill one of the carbine guns. If it weren't for Sun Ce's accidental explosion, he would have been completely defeated if he were replaced by other generals. It would be nice to be able to protect ourselves."
"Thirdly, steal Wancheng. Hefei is in the north, and Wancheng is in the south. As long as the surprise attack on Wancheng is successful and the connection between Sun Cejun and Jiangdong is cut off, then even if the previous plan to burn Hefei fails, it will be harmless. Without Wancheng , Hefei is just an enclave in Jiangbei, and for the Jiangdong Sun family, the strategic value will naturally drop significantly."
Li Shuyi, Cecilia, and Han Xu all nodded like good students, listening to Bai Xiaowen explain the beauty of this battle.
Of course, Jia Xu's wisdom is also based on Yuan Jun's strong strength. The number of troops, Hefei Yuan Jun is more than that of Jiangdong; in terms of elite level, the elite soldiers who have been screened are also stronger than Jiangdong soldiers.
As for the generals, they were a bit weaker, but Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhang Xiu's three major lord-level fierce generals were no worse than Jiangdong Sun Ce, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai's lineup, and there were rare leader-level generals such as Cao Ren to help.
In the contest of commander's wisdom, Jia Xu can be said to have completely defeated Zhou Yu.
This also made Li Shuyi and Han Xu a little surprised. After all, Zhou Yu is very famous, and his last words of "Sheng Yu, He Shengliang" made his worth a lot. It must be reasonable for him to be of a high level in the Three Kingdoms plane. .
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said:
"Sister Qiao also specifically mentioned in the letter that Jiangdong's top awakened person is actually the former squad leader of Shenting, August. During the attack on Hefei this time, August seemed to be going all out and sneaked into the city , fought hundreds of elites, and finally successfully opened the city gate. Of course, he did not run away after pretending to be a wave, and was shot by a strong crossbow, and had to leave the world of the Three Kingdoms plane."
"What is he trying to do?" Li Shuyi said.
"Maybe it's because the time for staying is coming up, let's fight before we leave?" Cecilia said with some uncertainty.
"Perhaps it's because of our sympathy with Sun Ce, otherwise there are many places that cannot be explained: for example, he cut in as Sun Ce's younger brother,
Why didn't Sun Ce replace him? Sun Ce is no more suspicious than Cao Cao, and August should have a lot of opportunities. "
When Bai Xiaowen said this, he commented: "From this point of view, August is different from ordinary awakened people. He does not follow the theory of profit-only. He is an interesting person."
"Aren't you the same? Obviously you can kill Liu Guanzhang and Zhao Yun, at least you can earn a treasure chest, but you just don't kill them." Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "The scores of lords who have people from the spiritual world participating in the siege have shrunk significantly. Even if a treasure box is produced, it is not of high value. In fact, I don't want to become a person who only benefits. That's the same as Richard Beside me, what's the difference between the 'Onikiri' who killed the master and proved the way? This reincarnated Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are kind to you and me. They are half teachers, so how can I have the heart to kill them?"
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "However, I only do this when it does not affect the overall situation. This is still different from August... If I am in his position, in order to become one of the powerful Lord, I will definitely find a chance to kill Sun Ce."
Bai Xiaowen led the army back to the court, and when they passed by Jinping Mountain in Yizhou, Ge Xuan resigned.
Bai Xiaowen was a little taken aback, he thought he had subdued Uncle Ge, but he didn't expect to leave now.
Ge Xuan is very important to Bai Xiaowen. On the one hand, after reading the Taiping Sutra, Ge Xuan already had quite good attainments in praying for blessings. When he broke Ma Chao in the Weishui River, he used the art of praying for blessings for ten days of north wind and one night of snow.
In ancient wars, the importance of weather and timing is unquestionable. Think about Zhuge Liang's fire in Shangfanggu. If it hadn't rained at that time, the ending of the Three Kingdoms would have been rewritten.
On the other hand, Ge Xuan was the only person Bai Xiaowen had to contact the Taoist sect in this plane world. He still has wordless jade slips that he hasn't deciphered, and he hasn't penetrated the heavenly scriptures yet.
Bai Xiaowen repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Ge Xuan had no choice but to go.
This is also normal, Ge Xuan followed Bai Xiaowen, mainly because of Ma Teng's matter, he was ashamed of Bai Xiaowen. Now that Ma Chao has found out the real culprit, and the cause and effect have been resolved, he naturally has nothing to worry about.
In desperation, Bai Xiaowen could only set up a banquet to see Ge Xuan off.
Before Ge Xuan left, he stretched out his hand and said, "I would like to borrow your son's jade slips."
Bai Xiaowen was refreshed, and immediately took out the jade slip without hesitation and handed it to Ge Xuan.
Ge Xuan deliberately smiled and said: "This jade slip is a treasure left by ancient immortals, and it is likely to record the secrets of ancient monks' exercises. Is the young master so relieved to hand it over to the poor?"
Bai Xiaowen turned on the flickering mode again, and said: "I hit it off with the Taoist priest and we have a heart-to-heart friendship, so how can I be stingy with mere foreign things?"
Ge Xuan was obviously moved, nodded slightly and said: "Young master said before, your way is to join the troubled times and save the people from fire and water; while my way is to escape from the world and practice, to see the nature clearly, your way and mine are different. .On the day when the son rules the world and the troubled times end, the poor will come to visit again to see if the way of the son has changed at that time."
Bai Xiaowen felt a little sad to see Ge Xuan off.
However, Bai Xiaowen was only at a loss for 0.1 second before returning to normal. He passed through Hanzhong, gathered Pound's 25,000 elite soldiers, then passed through Wuguan, passed through Chang'an, and returned to Yedu.
