Chapter 596: Pound Suffers a Loss

Cao Cao snorted coldly.

I don't know what kind of person you are, Sun Jian?

"I don't care, I only give you half a month. After half a month, I want to see Sun Shangxiang."

When Sun Jian heard this, he could only nod his head.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and brought a battle report to Sun Jian.

"That person from the Anluo Empire has arrived at my doorstep. You have a share in the Anluo Empire anyway. What do you think we should do?"

After hearing this, Sun Jian realized that Sun Shangxiang's matter was not important. The purpose of Cao Cao's coming here this time was for the Anluo Empire.

Opening the battle report, Sun Jian took a brief look at it.

He did not expect that Yizhou, which was said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, would lose an entire county in such a short period of time.

Of course, the Taishan Tiger Bandits led by Pang De must have contributed to this, but those ten famous generals also made Sun Jian have to worry.

"Now that the Anluo Empire has entered the battlefield of the Han Dynasty, we can no longer use the previous ideas of wooing. I feel that we need to take the initiative and teach the Anluo Empire some lessons so that they will not dare to get involved in our Han Dynasty's war."

Of course Cao Cao meant the same thing, but this time he came to Sun Jian not just to get Sun Jian to give him advice.

"That's what I mean, but you also know that during this period, we have suffered a lot of losses. Plus the food and grass given to you, it really hurts my body, so I need some of you to help us."

"Help you?"

Sun Jian finally figured out what Cao Cao wanted.

This is taking your own life.

He has been beaten like this now. Without the help of the Gu clan, he would have perished long ago. Now Cao Cao still doesn't intend to let him go?

"I don't have anyone."

"Sun Zhoumu, is it not okay for you to be like this? I just need you to give me a favor. Are you like this?"

"The troops and horses I have now are not even enough for defense. How can anyone help you attack the Anluo Empire?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he slapped the table with his palm.

"Sun Jian, don't think that I don't know. You have hid 30,000 soldiers and horses in Wu County. Aren't these 30,000 people human beings?"

Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian in front of him, and there was some anger in his eyes. It was obvious that Cao Cao was really angry this time.

When Sun Jian heard about these 30,000 people, he got a little angry. He didn't hide 30,000 people at the beginning, but that was 100,000 people. However, his son killed nearly 80,000 people in one go. This was still in the later stage. Some of the scattered soldiers came back, and they managed to collect 30,000.

This is his last strength, and he can't move no matter what he says.

"No talk! That's my last person."

Cao Cao did not expect that Sun Jian would be so determined. He rolled his eyes and said, "As long as you send people, Jiaozhou will be given to you now."

Sun Jian's eyes lit up when he heard about Jiaozhou.

According to the agreement, this Jiaozhou is a betrothal gift from Cao Cao, but now it is unknown whether Sun Shangxiang can come back. Since the food and grass have come to him, he will not return it no matter what happens, but if Sun Shangxiang does not come back, Jiaozhou will definitely not be able to return. own hands.

But now Cao Cao actually agreed to hand over the state to himself in advance.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Jian immediately nodded and agreed, but he only supported 30,000 people. These 30,000 people were not transferred from Wu County, but were drawn from the front line.

Cao Cao got a satisfactory result and naturally left with a smile, and Sun Jian also felt that he had taken advantage.

Both sides felt good, but it was Zhou Yu who was on the front line who suffered.

When he learned that 30,000 people were sent to Yizhou to support Cao Cao, Zhou Yu's face instantly dropped.

Gan Ning looked at the order in his hand and gritted his teeth. He didn't understand what Sun Jian was thinking.

Since 30,000 soldiers and horses were removed from the front line, what else do they have left?

"Grand Governor, should we go talk to the lord? If we take away thirty thousand, we won't be able to defend Jiaozhou."

Zhou Yu didn't want to, but counting the time now, Sun Jian was probably almost at Liu Bei's side by now. He couldn't go to Liu Bei's place to find Sun Jian, right?

"Wait a minute!"

In front of Gu Rubing stood a crossbow captain.

, "Lord, we already understand clearly. The assassin's name is Wang Wu, and he is a group of people trained by Sun Jian in his early years. But this Wang Wu is not the leader of these assassins. In order to take away Sun Shangxiang this time, their leader All the assassins Wang Wu knew were called, so it is very likely that there are no more Sun Jian in the city. "

"Where is the leader?"

Hearing this, Colonel You Nu looked awkwardly at Zhao Yun, who was standing next to Gu Rubing.

"He was shot to death by General Zhao!"

Zhao Yun did not expect that the person he killed would be the leader in just one attack.

Gu Rubing smiled helplessly.

"Okay, let's sort out the information and do it alone. It will be of great use to us."

After Colonel You Nu left, Zhao Yun quickly came to Gu Rubing.

"Lord, I was wrong. I didn't expect that the one who jumped over the wall and ran away would be the leader."

"Okay, Zilong, I don't blame you, get ready, let's welcome Sun Zhoumu!"

Not long.

Zhuge Liang came to Gu Rubing's side.

"Lord, Sun Jian is here."

"Well, Prime Minister, do you have any plans regarding food and grass?"

"Lord, Liang is thinking of a solution. Give me something and I will definitely be able to solve it!"

Gu Rubing has never been worried about Zhuge Liang's strength.

Soon, Sun Jian, led by Zhao Yun, came to the living room.

"King Lie, it's been such a long time no see!"

"Yes, Sun Zhoumu, I wonder if Sun Zhoumu brought what I wanted when he came this time?"

Sun Jian waved his hand, and several wooden boxes were moved in.

"One hundred thousand gold is all here. Why don't you, King Lie, order some?"

"No need, Sun Zhoumu has something to do, don't worry, I will bring him over to you now."

Gu Rubing clapped his hands.

Then several crossbow captains came in carrying a man.

"Sun Zhoumu, can you see if it's this person?"

Sun Jian looked at Wang Wu in front of him and couldn't help but frown.

The person in front of him didn't look like Wang Wu. He had completely turned into a bloody man, and even his limbs looked like they had been severed.

"Prince Lie, are you going a little too far?"

Sun Jian glared at Gu Rubing. Even if this Wang Wu was still breathing a sigh of relief, he would probably die soon in his hands. So what was the point of spending his one hundred thousand gold?

"Sun Zhoumu, what do you mean by this? Why didn't I understand? I promised to give you a person, and now the person is in front of you, and there are some breathing ones. This is indeed a living person, why do you still say that I am going too far? , You’re hurting my heart too much, aren’t you?”

After Gu Rubing finished speaking, he placed his hand on his heart, pretending to be very heartbroken.

Watching Gu Rubing's performance, Sun Jian's heart was filled with thousands of mythical beasts.

"Prince Lie, I have something to do with my daughter this time."

"see a visitor out!"

Before Sun Jian could finish speaking, Gu Rubing waved directly.

Sun Jian wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Zhao Yun who came over.

"I'm sorry, Sun Zhoumu, our lord has said to see off guests, so please leave, otherwise don't blame me for taking action."

Sun Jian left, taking a dying body with him.

Gu Rubing's face was full of smiles.

Sun Jian did not return to Yangzhou, but went directly to the frontline military camp.

Zhou Yu stepped forward immediately upon seeing this.

"Lord, you are here. Your previous order asked us to draw out 30,000 people, but we..."

Zhou Yu wanted to say something else, but Sun Jian waved his hand to stop him.

"You do what I say. Cao Cao promised us that as long as we help him and get Ba County back, we can get Jiaozhou. Compared with Jiaozhou, there are only 30,000 people. It doesn't matter at all."

As soon as he heard that it was about Jiaozhou, Zhou Yu refused without any reason.

Soon, 30,000 people, led by Zhou Yu Ganning, set off from Xiangke County and took a small road to arrive outside Yufu City in Ba County.

At this time, the entire defense center of Ba County was still confronting the Yizhou Army in Guanghan County.

Zhou Yu observed the battle situation and directly ordered Gan Ning to send more fish to restore the city. Then the army spread towards Pingdu City, Yanguo City and other places without stopping.

In just three days, half of Ba County was under Zhou Yu's control.

However, these places were originally planned to be discarded by Pang De and others.

There was no intention of being defensive.

There are only two places Pang De mainly defends, one is Jiangzhou City and the other is Linjiang City.

These two cities are both large cities in Ba County, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, the two cities also provide some transportation routes. As long as these two cities are defended, Ba County will not be considered lost.

For safety reasons, Pang De also put everyone brought by Surena into Jiangzhou City, while he led the Taishan Tiger Bandits to guard Linjiang City.

The Yizhou army, led by Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and Xu Huang, stormed Jiangzhou City.

In just three hours, Surena's casualties were as high as 20,000, while the Yizhou Army's casualties were only close to 20,000.

The defending side should have the advantage of the geographical location, and the casualties cannot be the same as those who attack the city. However, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Anluo Empire is too low. If it were not guarded by ten famous generals, Jiangzhou City might have been lost in one day. .

Compared with the situation of the Yizhou Army, the Yangzhou Army is obviously more troublesome.

With only 30,000 men, there was no way to attack the city. They could only delay Pang De and prevent him from providing reinforcements to Jiangzhou City.

In just two days, Pang De received news from Jiangzhou City asking for help.

In two days and three battles, the Anluo Empire lost 60,000 people, while the Yizhou Army lost less than 50,000.

Pang De sat in front of the handsome case and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how the battle to defend the city could be fought like this.

"General, if we don't provide support, Jiangzhou City will be lost."

A captain came to Pang De with a very urgent voice, because this was already the second day after they received the call for help, and they didn't know what the current situation was in Jiangzhou City.

Pound came to the city wall and looked at the 30,000 troops outside the city. Pound made a decision.

"I will take 20,000 Taishan Tiger Bandits to meet the enemy. Zang Ba, you will take 20,000 Taishan Tiger Bandits to Jiangzhou City for support, and the remaining 10,000 people will defend the city."

Zang Ba nodded immediately.

Soon, Linjiang City Gate opened wide.

Pang De rushed out with 20,000 Taishan tiger thieves.

Seeing Pang De rushing out, Gan Ning hurriedly led the Yangzhou army and rushed out.

The moment the two sides fought, Gan Ning immediately summoned shadows.

Eighteen shadows instantly surrounded Pang De, and the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Sword Technique kept changing in Pang De's hands.

Gan Ning watched from the side, and finally found Pang De's defensive loophole, and the ancient ingot sword slashed directly at Pang De's arm.

Pang De felt the strong wind and dodged subconsciously.

Gan Ning's sword missed and was dodged by Pang De, but the price Pang De paid was that a shadow slashed his abdomen.

The wound on the palm was nothing to Pang De, but it also suppressed Pang De's combat effectiveness.

Pang De activated the military general characteristics, and the fierce husband and courageous and good at fighting were activated at the same time.

The attack power instantly increased by 1700%. Pang De gathered all his strength on the sword, resisted the damage caused by the surrounding shadows, and slashed at Gan Ning.

"Gan Ning, little boy, dare you take my sword?"

"Hehe, let me see what you can do."

Gan Ning's ancient ingot sword just touched Pang De's eight-door golden lock sword, and the powerful force on it made his arm numb, and the sword in his hand almost fell out.

Gan Ning reorganized himself and swung his sword to cut Pang De.

As a result, after the sword, Pang De didn't even linger at all, and ran back to the city from Gan Ning's side.

No matter how Pang De rushed, he couldn't get out of the encirclement formed by eighteen shadows.

In contrast, Gan Ning's position became Pang De's best breakthrough point. It was because of this that Pang De risked being seriously injured and found Gan Ning.

Gan Ning reacted and wanted to order a pursuit, but it was too late. Pang De had already run back to the city.

The Taishan tiger thieves heard the gong to withdraw their troops and all slowly retreated back to the city.

Zhou Yu, who was commanding on the side, saw this and could only order them to return to the camp.

Gan Ning wanted to chase him unwillingly, but was stopped by Zhou Yu.

"General, why are you stopping me? Give me a little more time, and I can kill Pang De, or at least beat him so that he can't command the battle."

"Xingba, come back, don't you see how much our Yangzhou army has lost?"

Hearing this, Gan Ning set his sights on the battlefield.

At this time, the ground was full of corpses, but from the clothes, it can be seen that most of them are from the Yangzhou army.

"This..."

"We lost nearly 15,000 people in this battle, and from the corpses on the ground, Pang De's Taishan Tiger Bandits lost less than 5,000. If you chase them, the Taishan Tiger Bandits still have the advantage of defending the city, and our number is not enough to attack the city."

Gan Ning didn't think of this, but now is the best time to attack the city. If Pang De's injury is recovered, the advantage just gained will soon disappear.

"What should we do? How about asking the Lord to send us some reinforcements? I only need 50,000 and I can take Linjiang City."
