Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

After talking with Liu Ye, Zhao Xue finally completed her plan in Jiangdong.

In the battle of Lujiang, Zhao Xue was sure to contain and severely injure Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce was restrained in Lujiang, there was a sudden riot in the rear, and the defenders staying in Jiangdong must have no spare power to deal with it.

Even if Sun Ce could return to Jiangdong, the more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers he brought out may not be able to return.

As a result, Jiangdong suffered heavy losses and its troops were empty, and the opposition forces could take this opportunity to occupy and control some counties and counties.

As for Zhao Xue, she doesn't need the Lu family to contribute manpower and financial resources, she just needs the Lu family and other families who oppose the Sun family to help appease the place, appease the people, and maintain normal operations.

Lu Yan can produce people, but more importantly, the reputation of the Lu family in the hearts of other aristocratic families and the people can help the opposition forces stabilize the situation faster.

If all goes well, even if Sun Ce returns to Jiangdong in a hurry, he will not have extra troops to attack the opposition forces.

We can only watch helplessly as these opposition forces take control of one side and become bigger and bigger.

The longer the delay, the worse it would be for Sun Ce.

And Zhao Xue only needs the opposition forces to contain Sun Ce for a year or two, and when the duel between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao produces results, then the mission of these opposition forces will be considered completed.

If Cao Cao wins, he will surely go straight to the south of the Yangtze River with a great victory, and this group of people will also usher in their own harvest time.

If Cao Cao is defeated, they will also earn the capital to negotiate with Sun Ce, and they can use this to find a good future for themselves.Moreover, Sun Ce wants to firmly control Jiangdong and completely change his bad image of tyranny and bloodthirsty in the hearts of Jiangdong scholars. Surrendering and treating these opposing forces well is the best way to prove his change.

So in any case, as long as these opposition forces can persist until the end of the Cao Yuan War, they will already be invincible.

Zhao Xue explained her plan clearly to Lu Xun and other aristocratic families, and also received the support of many small and medium-sized aristocratic families.

After all, they don't need to fight to the death with Sun Ce, they only need to occupy one side to contain Sun Ce, so that they can vent their anger; and they can also reap the greatest benefits for themselves. This is a sure-fire deal no matter how you look at it!

The only one who still has some hesitation is the Lu family, which is known as the four major families in Jiangdong, but its name is already somewhat inaccurate.

Regardless of whether it was due to the development of the family or the hatred of Sun Ce, Lu Xun wanted to cooperate with Zhao Xue very much.

However, it was difficult for Lu Xun to judge whether the situation Zhao Xue mentioned would happen. After all, he was still worried that before the opposition forces could gain a firm foothold, Sun Ce raised his butcher knife at them again.

The Lu family could no longer stand the second massacre.

Ding Si obviously knew what Lu Xun was worried about, so he said with a smile: "Patriarch Lu, how about inviting me in for a cup of tea?"

Hearing this, Lu Xun knew that Ding Si must have a secret to tell him, so he made a gesture of invitation and said, "I didn't prepare tea in a hurry, but there is a jar of good wine from Chen Liu in my house. Enjoy!"

When Ding Si heard the words, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then his expression returned to normal, and he said: "Then Ding is more respectful than obedient!"

The fleeting change in Ding Si's eyes was keenly captured by Lu Xun.

There is indeed good wine from Chen Liu in Lu Xun's house, but he deliberately told the news that the good wine came from Chen Liu.

Catching the expression in Ding Si's eyes, Lu Xun's face remained unchanged, but he had already realized a lot in his heart, "When he heard the word Chen Liu, there were obvious emotional ups and downs in his eyes... Sure enough, they are Cao Cao's people!"

Chapter 186 The Tragic Fight Under the Lujiang City

"Jinfan Gan Xingba is here, and Sun Ben will be captured before he has nothing to do, when will he be!"

Slightly arrogant and insulting words, extremely gorgeous and flamboyant clothes!

The person who came was none other than Gan Ning, the notorious Jinfan bandit in central Shu and the Yangtze River area a few years ago!

Gan Ning's grandfather, Gan Mao, was the Prime Minister of Qin during the Warring States Period.

He himself was powerful when he was young, but he was idle and not doing his job properly. He often hangs out with playboys and commits crimes everywhere.But this also shows Gan Ning's excellent commanding ability from the side.

Because they like to make a big show every time they rob people, and because their followers are all dressed in brocade, and they like to use brocade to tie the boat at the place where they hijack, so some people call them "Jinfan Thieves".

However, when Gan Ning was 20 years old and weak, he suddenly came to his senses, stopped this kind of childish behavior, and began to study hard, devoted his ambition to the officialdom, and successfully became an official in the land of Bashu.

When Lu Yan sent people to look for Gan Ning, Gan Ning was in the midst of being a hero, and he felt that if he wanted to invite him to join, he would have to invite him in person.

A few years later, when he came to his senses, Cao Cao had already established himself, and he had countless powerful generals under his command.

Later, he worked as a county magistrate in central Shu for a period of time. When Liu Yan died of illness, his son Liu Zhang was in charge of Yizhou.

Deeply aware of Liu Zhang's weakness, Gan Ning felt that Liu Zhang could not achieve great things, so he left Yizhou for Jingzhou, intending to seek refuge with the famous Liu Biao.

Liu Biao accepted Gan Ning on the surface, but in his heart he despised him because of his past, so Liu Biao finally sent Gan Ning to Huang Zu's command and served as a captain of Changshui.

Although Gan Ning was unwilling, he still obeyed Liu Biao's appointment and came to Jiangxia Huangzu's office as a school lieutenant.

Less than half a year after Gan Ning came to Huang Zu's place, Huang Zu received a letter of help from Liu Ye in Lujiang.

Huang Zu had a feud with Jiangdong Sun Ce who killed his father. If Sun Ce took Lujiang, he would never have a peaceful life in the future. Naturally, he couldn't just sit back and watch Lujiang be taken by Sun Ce.

Originally Huang Zu wanted to send his son Huang She to lead the army to Lujiang, but he thought that Sun Ce was brave and had many capable men under him, and he was worried that his son would be in danger.

After thinking about it, Huang Zu thought of Gan Ning, who had just joined him, so he gave him [-] soldiers and horses, together with Gan Ning's original several hundred Jinfan Army, and ordered them to go to Lujiang to rescue Liu Xun.

When Gan Ning and others arrived at Lujiang, it happened to be two days before Sun Ce launched his attack.

Liu Ye had a great reputation in the local area, coupled with his status as a descendant of the royal family, Gan Ning was willing to serve Liu Ye at his disposal.

......

Under Wancheng, Sun Ce was holding Ling Cao's body, his eyes were red.

Jiangdong soldiers huddled together in panic.

Zhou Tai came to Sun Ce and said, "My lord, the enemy army is strong, I can't wait for long!"

"Understood." After Sun Ce responded, he tied Ling Cao's body to Ling Cao's horse, and said to the guards beside him, "Look at Colonel Ling's body, I will take you out!"

Although I don't know why the enemy expected that he would raid Wancheng in advance and set up an ambush, but now is obviously not the time to think about it.

They have no supplies, no supplements, and now it is impossible to seize Lujiang again.

Sun Ce quickly saw his form. Only when he broke out of the siege and returned to join Han Dang and others who stayed behind in Pengze, would they have a chance to detour back to Jiangdong.

As for how many soldiers will be saved in the end, Sun Ce dare not estimate for the time being...

Sun Ce saw that Gan Ning's army was not large, so he intended to divide some of his troops to intercept Zhao Xue's pursuit; he himself led the superior force to defeat Gan Ning first.

Without saying a word, Zhou Tai led [-] soldiers to block outside the gate of the city.

Turning on his horse and raising his Overlord Spear, Sun Ce roared: "All soldiers, follow me to break out of the encirclement!"

"Kill it out!"

"Kill it out!"

Although Jiangdong's children fought bravely, and the strength of the two sides was not much different.

However, Sun Ce and others were working on an expedition, but Liu Ye was waiting for work at leisure; in addition, the Jiangdong Army was ambushed again, and the general was shot and killed first by the enemy, and the morale was greatly damaged. This side has the upper hand.

It's just a pity that there are no cavalry on Liu Ye's side, otherwise they would have collapsed on the spot just now when the Jiangdong army was in chaos.

At this moment, when Zhao Xue led the soldiers to rush to the gate of the city, Zhou Tai had already led the formation and blocked the gate of the city.

The size of the city gate is limited, and the number of people in contact with Zhou Tai's soldiers is limited. No matter how many people are behind Zhao Xue, they can only stare blankly, and they can't break through the defense of Zhou Tai and others for a while.

Seeing this, Zhao Xue ordered some archers to go up to the city wall and shoot arrows at the soldiers behind Zhou Tai's formation, and then slowly opened up the situation.

But Zhou Tai didn't need to block Zhao Xue for too long. In less than a quarter of an hour, Sun Ce had already fought against Gan Ning!

Gan Ning's martial arts skills were not inferior to Sun Ce's, and the two of them killed Yu Liangcai together, and they killed each other immediately.

After fighting Gan Ning for about ten rounds, Sun Ce said in surprise, "Since when did the Jingzhou Army have such a fierce guy? They can fight me [-]-[-]!"

The blood red in Sun Ce's eyes slowly faded away. He saw the fearful and desperate soldiers around him; he also saw the Wancheng defenders who were about to break through Zhou Tai's interception.

Sighing, Sun Ce thought to himself, "I was careless... All these years we have been invincible under Gongjin's plan, but now we are ambushed by the enemy, and everyone's mentality will soon collapse."

If [-]% of the combat power is not [-]%, the hope of victory in this battle has been lost, and Ling Cao's revenge may be impossible to avenge.

Sun Ce knew that he could no longer entangle with Gan Ning, and had to lead the soldiers to rush out. If they dragged on for a while, the morale of the army that had finally gathered might collapse.

Sun Ce had a plan in mind, and deliberately sold an opening to lure Gan Ning to attack.

Gan Ning didn't know what it was, and thought it was Sun Ce's exhaustion, so he raised his knife and slashed without hesitation!

"Stab!"

"Pfft!"

Sun Ce's body fell short, Gan Ning cut Sun Ce's left shoulder with a knife, and Sun Ce's left shoulder was bleeding profusely!

However, Sun Ce also took the opportunity to stab Gan Ning in the chest. If Gan Ning hadn't reacted quickly and swung to the right, the shot would have pierced his heart directly!

One was scratched on the left shoulder, the other was stabbed in the left rib, and was picked off the horse by Sun Ce with great explosive force.

Fortunately, after landing, Gan Ning quickly distanced himself from Sun Ce and returned to the protection of the Jinfan Army.

Seeing this, Sun Ce secretly thought it was a pity, and then ignored the injury on his shoulder, and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, brothers follow me to break out of the siege!"

The Jingzhou army couldn't see Gan Ning's figure, believed Sun Ce's words, and panicked.

Sun Ce's bravery greatly increased the morale of Jiangdong soldiers.

Finally, when Zhao Xue was able to break through Zhou Tai's interception, the Jiangdong Army tore through the Jingzhou Army's interception, and Sun Ce broke out of the encirclement with the remaining soldiers who were less than [-].

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhou Tai rode to catch up with Sun Ce's troops before the broken defenders were about to collapse.

So far, when Sun Ce came, there were more than 7000 Jiangdong soldiers. After escaping from birth, there were only less than 1 soldiers left.

More importantly, Sun Ce also lost a general Ling Cao, which made Sun Ce taste the defeat of losing troops and losing generals for the first time.

Chapter 187 Jiangdong with internal and external troubles

In the battle of Wancheng, Sun Ce lost a general, and more than [-] people were killed or surrendered.

After Zhao Xue led the army to defeat the Duanhou army led by Zhou Tai, he chased and killed Sun Ce for more than [-] miles, and beheaded nearly [-] people again before stopping.

If it weren't for worrying that there might be an ambush ahead, Zhao Xue might have chased Sun Ce for another [-] miles... because she knew that in Lujiang, Sun Ce would be beaten even worse by herself, and those in the hinterland of Jiangdong who were waiting for an opportunity to oppose the Sun family's forces The higher the chance of success, the higher the chance of success.

Sun Ce felt so aggrieved that he was chased away by a group of female generals.

But the other party acted very cautiously and cunningly, and would come up to take a bite from time to time, but he would never engage in direct confrontation with Sun Ce's army.This made Sun Ce's several ambush attempts to show his weakness to the enemy all ended in failure, and he had no choice but to flee all the way.

After so many repetitions, Sun Ce was actually bitten off by the opponent for more than [-] soldiers. In addition to the soldiers who escaped, physical strength, and injuries on the road, when Sun Ce arrived in Pengze, there were only [-] remnants left under his command. .

Han Dang was shocked when he saw Sun Ce's distressed appearance, and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Ce smiled wryly and said, "General Han, we were ambushed by Liu Xun, and we were defeated in Wan City. It's not too late, and follow me back to Jiangdong as soon as possible!"

"I was ambushed by Liu Xun!!!" Han Dang looked in shock at the disfigured remnant army behind Sun Ce, and Zhou Tai who was wearing several arrows. He said to himself: "Since Liu Xun set up an ambush in Wancheng, we may not be safe in Pengze either!"

"That's right!" Sun Ce took a sip of the water handed over by his personal guard, and continued, "Liu Xun is afraid that someone might help him, so I will leave as soon as possible to avoid falling into their tricks again!"

"Here! I'm going to inform Junli right now, and I'm going back to Jiangdong immediately!"

.....

In addition, Zhao Xue led his army to chase Sun Ce for thirty miles, beheaded more than [-] people again, and finally led his army back to Wancheng.

Liu Ye was worried about Zhao Xue's safety, so he led a group of soldiers to wait outside the city.

Although Gan Ning was injured in his left arm, he insisted on waiting with Liu Ye outside the city.

When it was already dark, Zhao Xue finally returned to Wancheng wearing a blood-stained armor robe.

"Ah! General Qiangyu, if you don't come back, I will lead the army to look for you!" Liu Ye was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Xue's figure, and trotted a few steps to meet him.

Gan Ning looked intently, but saw that the general called Qiang Yu turned out to be a female general, and suddenly asked the soldiers beside Liu Ye in surprise, "Why is there a female leader here?"

The soldier who was asked, with a look of 'you are making such a fuss' in his eyes, replied: "General Qiang Yu has excellent martial arts skills and is good at commanding the army. Is there any problem for her to command?"

Gan Ning remained silent, and turned his head to look at Liu Ye and the female general who were walking towards this side.

The enemy's blood had already soaked the armor robe on her body into dark red, and her cold and beautiful pretty face became extraordinarily eye-catching due to the stain of a little bright red, revealing a hint of coquettishness in the coldness.

"My God!" Gan Ning felt unable to move his eyes away after seeing Zhao Xue, "Is there such a heroic and extremely beautiful woman in this world?!"

Zhao Xue felt Gan Ning's gaze. She remembered that her husband had sent someone to look for this person, so she smiled and nodded towards Gan Ning with a hint of kindness.

"She...she smiled at me?!" This smile made Gan Ning feel that the whole world seemed to be bright and vivid. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was: "This female general, I am willing to Ning wants it!!!”

Seeing Gan Ning's expression, Liu Ye guessed what Gan Ning was thinking.

Taking a sneak peek at Zhao Xue, who passed by Gan Ning, Liu Ye thought to himself: "Gan Ning has both wisdom and courage, but he cannot be reused under Huang Zu...Although Prime Minister Cao has countless strong generals, but this Presumably the Prime Minister will not reject a talent with the potential of a famous general, right?"

Look, before meeting Boss Cao, Liu Ye has always been thinking of the boss. He is a master among the workers, and he is more dedicated than the three bastards who want to skip work every day and fool around.

Zhao Xue had been extremely excited physically and nervously because of her visit to the battlefield before, but she didn't feel anything; now that she returned to the city and relaxed her mind, she suddenly felt a burst of deep exhaustion.

After a few simple explanations, Zhao Xue entrusted all the aftermath matters to Liu Ye, and she didn't want to participate in the following celebration banquet, so she went back to the hiding place to rest on her own.
