Chapter 601 Xie Family's Assistance
Also two-handed weapons, his double whips have become a burden at this time. Zhang Ren's attack positions are all very fatal positions, but these attacks are actually feints, and the real purpose is actually his wrist.
Hearing the order to retreat, Huang Gai breathed a sigh of relief and turned to evacuate.
Sun Jian returned to the camp and looked at Zhou Yu.
"Gongjin, tell me your strategy. I hope your strategy will not disappoint me."
"My lord, through the battle just now, our army lost more than 10,000 people, while Liu Bei only lost more than 5,000 people. The combat effectiveness of both sides is completely not at the same level. Why should we continue to fight with Liu Bei? Moreover, we now have Jiaozhou, and all the available people in Yangzhou are in our hands. There is no need to fight to the death to take back Yangzhou, and even if we fight to the death, we may not be their opponent."
"So Gongjin, do you still mean not to take Yangzhou?"
When Sun Jian said this, his face had changed. He did not expect that Zhou Yu would still say this to him after he retreated.
"My Lord, at present, Kuaiji County in Yangzhou is in our hands. It is like a nail stuck in Yangzhou. In my opinion, this is enough for now. When we make a comeback, we can use this nail to take back the whole Yangzhou. Besides, aren't the four major families in Yangzhou still in our hands?"
Sun Jian's face improved after hearing this. He looked at Zhou Yu for a long time before nodding.
Although Sun Jian planned to give up, he still sent 20,000 more people to Kuaiji County from the small road for the sake of safety.
Zhang Liao and others spent two days in Danyang County before sending troops to Kuaiji County.
However, when they arrived in Kuaiji County, they found that Sun Quan had gathered nearly 20,000 people from somewhere in the city.
Among these 20,000 people, many were soldiers who were scattered in Yangzhou before.
Zhang Liao immediately sent people to surround the four city gates to prevent the number of people in Sun Quan's hands from increasing again.
Sun Quan looked at the people outside the city, and his heart was much calmer than before.
Because this time, beside him, there was not only a famous general Lu Xun, but also several thousand special soldiers.
With these people, Sun Quan was sure to defend Kuaiji County for at least five days.
Zhang Liao tried to attack the city, but after several attempts, the city was not taken down, and his own losses were not small. Even the Taishan Tiger Bandits lost more than a thousand people, and the people of the Anluo Empire lost nearly ten thousand people.
Surena looked at the 100,000 people he brought with him, and now they have become a few thousand people, and they have not caused any effect. For a while, he was a little dissatisfied.
Although the people he brought with him this time were all from the Roman Empire, and he did not intend to let them go back many, but when the day came when they all died, Surena still felt a little reluctant.
"General, we can't fight like this anymore. If we continue like this, I can only withdraw from the battle here."
Zhang Liao looked at Surena who was coming over, and he was not dissatisfied with the threat in his words.
A hundred thousand troops have become a few thousand people now, even if it is himself, I am afraid he can't accept it.
Helplessly, Zhang Liao could only stop the siege plan and pass the news to Gu Rubing.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Gu Rubing frowned slightly.
He launched a blitzkrieg, and the initial effect was good. Even if Sun Quan was not captured, it was nothing, but how did Sun Quan do it? In two days, he gathered nearly 20,000 people?
The battle on Sun Jian's side has been fought like this. Even if there are really scattered soldiers, they should stay away from the battlefield and not go back.
At this time, a soldier came to Gu Rubing.
"My lord, someone outside wants to see you. It is said to be the Xie family in Yangzhou."
"Xie family?"
Gu Rubing was stunned at first, but soon reacted.
This is a local aristocratic family in Yangzhou.
"Bring it in."
"Yes!"
Not long after, a handsome man with a folding fan in his hand walked in under the guidance of the soldiers.
"I, Xie Feng, meet King Lie."
"Xie Feng?"
Gu Rubing remembered that Xie Feng was quite famous in Yangzhou and was called one of the four handsome men.
"It's Hongdao. I wonder why you're here this time?"
Hearing this, Xie Feng looked at Gu Rubing.
"King Lie, do you know me?"
"Haha, how could I not know Hongdao's literary talent?"
Xie Feng was very pleased with Gu Rubing's words, and even his nervousness just now was relieved.
"King Lie, you are too polite. This time I came here in accordance with the order of the family to help King Lie solve his problems."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Xie Feng walked directly in front of Gu Rubing and looked around.
Gu Rubing certainly understood what Xie Feng meant, and waved his hand to let the soldiers around him leave.
"King Lie, aren't you curious about how Sun Quan got more than 10,000 people?"
Gu Rubing didn't say anything, but still looked at Xie Feng.
"Aren't they all soldiers who were scattered? It is very normal for troops to be scattered when two armies fight."
Xie Feng looked at Gu Rubing's words, then smiled slightly and said nothing.
At this time, Zhuge Liang pushed the door open.
Seeing Zhuge Liang coming, Gu Rubing immediately walked over.
"Prime Minister, you are here."
"My Lord, I heard that someone from the Xie family in Yangzhou has come, so I came to take a look."
"It turned out to be the prime minister of Zhuge, I heard your name long ago. When I saw it today, I Xie Fengzhen was fortunate!"
"Xie Gongzi is polite. I don't know if you come to our protagonist this time, but is it about Yangzhou?"
"Yeah, but it seems that King Lie doesn't want to let me help."
Hearing the words, Gu Ru Bing smiled embarrassedly.
Zhuge Liang did not know what happened. Obviously what Gu Rubing did, so that the Xie family in front of him was not very happy.
"Sorry, Xie Gongzi, don't know what exactly is going to see us this time?"
Xie Feng looked at Zhuge Liang. He found that when Zhuge Liang was talking to himself, sometimes he ignored Liu Bei. This is enough to explain how high Zhuge Liang's status in Gu Ru's heart is.
"Previously, King Lie launched a raid against Yangzhou. In less than seven days, Yangzhou was hit, leaving only one county, but Sun Quan suddenly had more than 10,000 more people, and these people were dispersed from Yangzhou. Soldiers, everyone should know this, right? "
Zhuge Liang nodded. He had a little bit thought about it, but after seeing Xie Fenglai, he had already a little clear.
"In fact, these are indeed scattered soldiers, but Sun Jian's situation is not good. After these soldiers were scattered, they did not intend to go back, but some people were forcing them to go back. Three families "
"The other three families? You have four major families in Yangzhou, namely the Confucius, the Wei family, the Yu family, and then your Xie family. Do you mean the other three?"
"Of course, it can be said that the four major families of our family were all from Sunzhou Mu, but now the current situation has changed. Of course, we have to re -consider our position."
Gu Ru Bing has never regarded Jiang Dong's family members, and many of them have.
Among them, there are talents like Lu Xun Zhang Zhao. He has been thinking about it. When he takes off Yangzhou, he has sorted out these families, but he did not expect that these guys have caused a lot of trouble for himself now.
"Why do your Xie family choose me?"
Gu Ru Bing's eyes were very sharp at this time, staring at Xie Feng.
"King Lie, in fact, the reason is very simple. The main business of our Xie family is in Danyang County and Lujiang County, but now these two counties are in your hands. If we do not rely on you, our business will not be able to do it. It's ".
Gu Ru Bing believes that these big family members are mainly interests, and their eyes only have interests.
When Gu Ru Bingzhun was preparing to accept Xie Feng, Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "What can you provide for us?"
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Gu Ru Bing heard the words, closed his mouth with interest.
"Prime Minister Zhuge, what do you mean?"
"I mean it should be very clear? The Xie family came this time to vote for us. By the way, I want to let us help you solve the other three other families, but I know that when you follow Sun Jian, Sun Jian was followed by Sun Jian, Sun Jian What do you want, so I need to know what you Xie family can give us. "
Xie Feng did not expect that Zhuge Liang was so direct, but soon he made it difficult.
Zhuge Liang was right. He was indeed coming to vote, but when Sun Jian was in Yangzhou, he had long been searching for the money and food in the hands of these family members. They could also say that there was nothing. Liu Bei? So this time he mainly came to vote with intelligence.
"Our Xie family can provide the entire Yangzhou information for King Lie."
"We don't need."
Zhuge Liang shook his head directly.
What kind of intelligence, can't get the crossbow school? Intelligence is a good thing for others, but for them, it is just a chicken rib.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was so sure, Xie Feng suddenly lost his mind.
"I don't know what Zhuge Xiang wants?"
"I want you to thank your family, in the future, half of the income every year."
"Half of the income every year? Why don't you grab the Xiang of Zhuge? I thought I was negotiating with the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. I didn't expect to meet a colleague here.
Xie Feng stood up directly, turned around and was about to leave.
"Xie Gongzi, you'd better think about it, do you want to cooperate with us? If you refuse, then you are our enemies, your Xie family in Danyang County and Lujiang County business, then you can’t keep it. This is you told you to tell Our, I want half of your income to give you face, otherwise we can take away. "
Xie Feng did not expect that Zhuge Liang, who had always had both talents, was so dark.
"This requirement is too big, not in the range I can control at all, so I want to go back to discuss with the patriarch, and please give us some things."
After speaking, Xie Feng did not wait for Gu Ru Bing to speak, and turned directly to the outside.
"Two days, we will do it in two days, and we will clear your forces in the two counties."
Listening to Zhuge Liang's voice, Xie Feng left faster.
"What do you want to Xie's benefit?"
Gu Ru Bing did not understand the operation of Zhuge Liang at all.
"My Lord, the aristocratic families are deeply rooted in Yangzhou. They can support whoever they want. Part of the reason is that the princes did not hurt their foundation, so they can choose at any time. What we have to do is to hurt their roots and make them have to follow us."
"That's enough! But do we really want to help the Xie family and solve the other three families?"
"Of course, these four families finally had internal strife, so naturally we have to crush them completely, but we can't give all the meat to the Xie family. Only what we control in our own hands is the safest."
After Xie Feng returned to the Xie family and told Gu Rubing's request, the whole Xie family was boiling.
Half of the annual income, this is undoubtedly a cut of their meat.
"Okay, be quiet."
A white-bearded old man sat in the main seat and looked at the noisy people.
"Isn't it just half of the annual income? We gave it to him, but Liu Bei actually wants so much. It seems that I must go there in person to see it."
"Master, if you go there in person, if there is any accident..."
"Hmph, I don't believe that Liu Bei dares to do anything to me, Xie Zhen, in front of so many people."
When the people of the Xie family heard this, they didn't know what to say.
Zhang Liao had no choice but to continue according to the previous plan because he didn't get Gu Rubing's instructions.
Two days of siege caused Zhang Liao to suffer a lot of losses again.
In desperation, Zhang Liao could only call off the siege and walked outside the city wall with only 500 iron pagodas.
"Does Sun Quan dare to come out and fight?"
Sun Quan stood on the city wall, looked at Zhang Liao, sneered, and ignored Zhang Liao's words.
And Lu Xun had some ideas in his mind.
Among all the Jiangdong generals, only Lu Xun guessed where Zhang Liao's characteristics of fighting to the death came from. Looking at the 500 iron pagodas in Zhang Liao's hand, Lu Xun wanted to swallow them in one gulp.
However, Lu Xun soon gave up his idea, because he found that the Yangzhou army had no troops that could compete with the heavy cavalry of the Iron Buddha.
Lu Xun and Sun Quan chose not to listen to Zhang Liao's shouting and cursing outside the city.
Zhang Liao had no way to deal with the two people who hid in the city and didn't say a word, so he could only return to the camp helplessly.
"Wenyuan, don't worry, the lord hasn't given us any news yet, there should be other preparations, let's wait and see."
Pang De looked at Zhang Liao and could only smile helplessly to comfort him.
However, in the past two days, Zhang Liao and his men not only did not wait for Gu Rubing's order, but waited for Sun Quan's reinforcements.
Seeing the 20,000 troops slowly entering Sun Quan's city, they had no way at all.
As for the reason, it was also very simple, because there was a special army among the 20,000 troops, the Gu tribe.
With these 20,000 people and the addition of the Gu tribe, Sun Quan's confidence increased greatly.
