Chapter 566 Zhou Yu's Worries

A fleet of fleets appeared on the endless water, countless flags fluttered in the wind, and the huge Sun character appeared in front of everyone.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Sun Ce felt the wind blowing head-on, and he couldn't help being refreshed. The journey was surprisingly smooth.First, Xu Zhoumu agreed to his request and opened the road from Jiujiang to Guangling County, and then the army rushed to Jianye Port by boat. Perhaps because Jia Nian was busy suppressing the interior of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, he did not see any enemy ships trail.

In other words, it is very likely that Jiangnan did not realize that he would be attacked at this time.

After all, the war in the south of the Yangtze River has not subsided for a long time. For Yuzhang, Yuan Yuzhou was newly defeated and unable to go south, so he focused on guarding against the enemies in the north of the Yangtze River.It's better to take advantage of this rare opportunity to integrate the inside properly.

While thinking, a boat rowed quickly from the front, followed by the sound of footsteps.

"Reporting to the Prefect"

"There are only a hundred Jiangnan soldiers stationed in Jianye Port. If we work hard, we can take it down smoothly, and then go straight to Jianye City."

The voice rang in his ears, but Sun Ce didn't reply, but looked at the mighty river with a smile on his lips.

The soldier saluted Sun Ce, turned around and walked in the direction he had come and gone.

"Lord"

"This journey has been too smooth"

Zhou Yu, who was standing behind him, spoke to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce shook his head slowly.

"Isn't everything you are facing at this time exactly what you expected, Gongjin?"

"Why did you hesitate when things really happened?"

Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu back.

Zhou Yu frowned subconsciously, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't say it out.

"I don't know"

"Perhaps the journey was too smooth, so it made me suspicious."

Looking at the river ahead, Zhou Yu replied.

The smile on Sun Ce's face disappeared, and he fell into deep thought.Since Gong Jin said so, it means that there must be something unusual about this matter, but it has not been found out.

"The Jia thief hastily annexed the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, which made the interior unstable. The troops were stationed in Danyang, Wu, and Kuaiji respectively. In addition, the main force was dragged along the front lines of Wanxian, Chaohu, and Changhe Town. It is normal to be negligent in guarding against the river."

"I do not think so"

Zhou Yu shook his head at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce frowned, why did Gongjin's words change now?Is there really any danger in this?It's just that the arrow leaves the string, and I'm afraid there's something wrong with turning around and returning.

"It is precisely because the two armies are at war that Jia Nian should investigate the river more. But at this time, he has not seen any soldiers under his command. This is the most worrying thing."

"I don't want to but I can't"

Sun Ce quickly weighed the current situation and said to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu fell into deep thought again, sorting out the news about this battle and the situation in the world.

"Liu Ye and Lu Su under the command of Jia thief are not mediocre"

"With their abilities, how can they not see the general trend of the world? How can they not see that Yuan Yuzhou already has the powerful strength to start war against Jiangnan and Jingzhou at the same time?"

"Could it be a bluff? Deliberately opening the door wide to make us suspicious"

Sun Ce looked at the river and asked.

Zhou Yu analyzed.

"Doesn't rule out the possibility"

"After all, there are internal and external troubles in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the Jia thief hastily expanded his troops, the main force is far away in Wan County. The other small soldiers and horses are stationed in the three counties. Even if they know that our army is attacking, I am afraid Too much heart but not enough energy”

Sun Ce thought while listening.

The most important thing in this battle is surprise. As long as Jianye City is captured, they will be able to echo those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.Even if Jia thief escapes smoothly, he cannot escape the fate of destruction.

And even if they are dragged outside Jianye City, the Jia thief will be defeated after a long time, because Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of aristocratic families.I can't tolerate your Jia thief's misconduct. Without force as a deterrent, an internal riot can kill you. Not only will you lose the newly occupied three counties of Danyang, Wu, and Kuaiji, but you will also lose your hometown of Yuzhang County.

Therefore, no matter what tactics the Jia thief used in this battle, they could not escape defeat.This is also the reason why Yuan Yuzhou sent troops immediately after learning about this.

"No matter how you look at this battle, there is no victory for our army."

"If Gongjin can't give a convincing reason, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reverse it."

Sun Ce said firmly.

Zhou Yu replied.

"My lord, why are you so sure that our army will win and never lose?"

"Don't Gongjin really know?"

"If the lord is relying on a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid it won't be sure."

"Why?"

Sun Ce's face sank, about the conquest of Jiangnan.During this period of time, the two discussed countless times and reached a consensus.But on the eve of the outbreak of the war, he changed his words again. Why?Is it too careful, or is there really something missing.

"Here, the lord in the south of the Yangtze River can rely on the Wu family, and thus use the Wu family as a link to persuade the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. But Jia thief is more unique in this respect than the lord. He has the Gu and Lu families as his wings, but why does it still cause the current situation? situation?"

"To be honest, my subordinates have been thinking about this issue for a while. Although I have come up with an explanation, this explanation is too unbelievable. Therefore, I only have doubts in my heart and have not delved too deeply into it."

"However, looking at the experience along the way, it was too smooth. If we don't say it, I'm afraid we will miss our army's major event."

"What's the matter?"

Sun Ce asked.

A look of hesitation flashed across Zhou Yu's eyes.

"Whether it is possible to open up overseas is a situation jointly set up by Jia Thief and the rich and powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River."

"[-] private soldiers from the Jiangnan family and [-] soldiers from Shanyue are waiting at sea. Just wait for our army to make a surprise attack, and then attack our rear."

"In this way, we can take advantage of the trend to fight against Jiujiang and sweep Lujiang"

Hearing these words, Sun Ce smiled and shook his head.

In vain, you, Zhou Gongjin, are extremely intelligent, why did you still say such naive words.It is absolutely impossible for the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River and the Jia thief to reconcile, and they will definitely not join forces to set up this situation.What's more, the head of the Wu family is my uncle, and there is no possibility of being rebellious.

It's just that Gong Jin had to listen to one or two words, so as not to hurt his heart.

"come"

"exist"

The soldiers standing on the left and right responded loudly.

A chilling atmosphere permeated the air, as if faintly hearing the sound of war drums.

"Order General Huang to lead the troops of the headquarters to attack Jianye Port in a surprise attack, and the soldiers approached the city of Jianye"

"promise"

A soldier turns and walks away.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu.

"Since Gongjin has doubts, let's lead a thousand soldiers and horses to swim on the river and wait for the battle situation to change."

"If you take Jianye City, you will immediately send your troops to land, otherwise it will leave a way for our army to retreat."

"As for the prefect, I should go there in person."

The sound fell.

Zhou Yu was startled, knowing that Sun Ce's old problem was repeated.

"Didn't it be agreed before the expedition that General Huang would command two thousand troops as the vanguard, and the lord would be in the rear. But why did you change your mind at this time?"

"The brave man wins the battle between the two armies. I don't need to say more. It is enough for Gongjin to judge."

Sun Ce's unquestionable voice rang in his ears.

The flag was waved, and the fleet suddenly sped up a bit,
