System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Chapter 726

This also made Xu Huang pay more attention to these two opponents.

"If you say so, then they are both invincible."

"But from the last battle, it can be seen that Sun Ce is more brave than strategic."

"If he had completely followed Zhou Yu's strategy, even if their plan failed last time, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses."

"I think Sun Ce is brave but easily angered, and he will forget important things when his mind gets hot."

"Although Zhou Yu has considerable influence, it is difficult for him to personally supervise Sun Ce."

“It seems like a perfect combination, but in the end it’s two people, not just one.”

Zhang Liao shook his head. Although he took it seriously, he was not yet afraid of it.

No matter how perfect two things are, putting them together is still just a piece of work.

As long as it is pieced together, you can find gaps.

"Having said that, what does the General intend to do?"

Xu Huang nodded and continued to ask.

"It's better to divide the troops."

Zhang Liao said without hesitation.

"Split the troops?"

"Although our army has an advantage in manpower, once we divide our forces, the advantage will not be that great."

Xu Huang reminded with some concern.

"It doesn't matter."

"Look here."

"This mountain lies between Yinling and Yicheng."

"If you want to attack Yinling, you need to go around this mountain."

"An attack from the east side of the mountain is shorter and would save two days of marching compared to an attack from the west."

"I plan to lead a small number of light cavalry and advance quickly from the west, while you lead the main force and advance slowly."

"If the enemy wants to repel our army, they must leave the city and fight. Otherwise, when our army arrives, they won't even have a chance to defend."

"When you engage the enemy, I will seize the opportunity to attack the rear and we will surely win."

Zhang Liao moved his fingers across the map and explained his plan to Xu Huang.

"This arrangement is appropriate."

"But Wenyuan, why don't you let me lead the light cavalry to seek an opportunity, and you lead the main force to fight the enemy."

"After all, you are the commander."

Xu Huang nodded in agreement, but still wanted to confirm whether he would really be allowed to lead the troops.

"Hey, it's different between you and me who leads the troops."

"Besides, compared to me, I am better at finding opportunities on the battlefield, while you are better at leading a large army to engage the enemy."

Zhang Liao waved his hand and said with a smile.

He has a clear idea of his own position.

Although he had commanded large-scale troops, he had never actually engaged in large-scale battles with the enemy.

Compared with his experience in this area, he is better at and likes to lead troops in raids.

"That's fine!"

"Then let's do as you say, Wenyuan."

"Leave it to me directly. I will not let the enemy gain any advantage."

Xu Huang nodded and promised solemnly.

"it is good."

"Let these rats see what a truly strong army is."

Zhang Liao nodded confidently.

Do what you say.

The next morning, Xu Huang led his troops to set out.

As for the camp, only Pang De and three thousand soldiers were left to guard it.

After all, there are still a lot of food and supplies in the military camp.

Carrying it during marches is inconvenient and takes time to transport.

It’s better to leave the things here. With the brave general Pang De here, there’s no need to worry too much.

Zhang Liao led the only 1,500 light cavalry in the army and marched from the west.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were not easy to deal with either.

When the main force of Dong's army was halfway there, their scouts had already discovered what was happening.

Sun Jun Camp

All the generals of the Sun family put on armor and were eager to try.

"Everyone, the enemy's actions this time must have been unstoppable."

"I think the army has been short of food supplies for too long and has no way to keep up the pace."

"General Huang Gai and General Cheng Pu, please depart immediately for Shouchun and sail down the river with General Han Dang to set fire to the enemy camp."

Zhou Yu stood in the center, holding a sword, full of vigor and determination.

"promise!"

"The last general takes command!"

Huang Gai and Cheng Pu immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order.

"General Bofu, General Xu Kun, and General Sun Ben, once the battle begins, I ask you all to lead your troops to meet the enemy."

"If you are defeated, there is no need to fight to the death. Just fight and retreat."

"I will lead my troops and hide in Phoenix Valley. Once you lure the enemy in, I will seize the opportunity to attack them from within the valley. Even if we can't crush them, we can at least crush their morale and force them to retreat."

"And by then, once Generals Huang, Cheng, and Han have completed their fire plan, the enemy will undoubtedly be defeated."

Zhou Yu remained calm, as if everything was under his control.

"it is good!"

"Did you all hear it clearly?"

"Everything should be done according to Gongjin's words."

Sun Ce had unconditional trust in Zhou Yu and immediately spoke to the generals.

"promise!"

Everyone clasped their fists and accepted the order without any objection.

After dozens of battles, big and small, to pacify Jiangdong, they had already unconditionally submitted to the orders of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Only the three elders of Jiangdong would occasionally find fault with Zhou Yu, and relying on their seniority, they looked down on the inexperienced Zhou Yu.

The others are all young people, so naturally they won’t be so unhappy.

"This battle must be won!"

"Brothers, let's show the thief Dong what we Jiangdong heroes are capable of."

Sun Ce was full of vigor and ambition.

His emotions also infected many generals, and they all became full of heroic spirit.

"set off!"

"Ling Cao, the camp is in your hands."

"The rest of you follow me into battle."

"Meet the enemy at the foot of Phoenix Mountain."

"How can we allow the land of Jiangdong to be trampled by thieves?"

Sun Ce waved the brocade robe behind him and turned to leave the tent.

Dozens of generals including Sun Ben, Xu Kun, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Sun Wu followed closely behind.
