Chapter 300

"Sigh, once the lord retreats, there is no hope for Yangzhou!"

Zhang Zhao looked at the great army about to retreat, his heart filled with helplessness!

Although Zhou Yu's plan was good!

But it ignored the most important thing!

That is the hearts of the people!

This time the lord abandoned Yuzhang, how difficult it would be to take it back from Lin Yang in the future!

Sun Jian retreated, and in Wanling City of Danyang Commandery on the other side

"Won? Lin Yang actually defeated Sun Jian in one battle?"

Zhou Xin looked at the battle report passed over and was slightly stunned!

Some time ago, he heard that Lin Yang's army was out of grain!

How long had it been, and Lin Yang had completely defeated the opponent!

"My lord, now that Sun Jian is defeated, if we send troops now, go down the river, attack Chai Sang from Pengze, we can intercept Sun Jian's retreat!"

"In this way, Sun Jian's great army will have nowhere to retreat and will only face defeat!"

The middle-aged scholar beside Zhou Xin persuaded again!

Lin Yang won, even defeating Sun Jian's thirty thousand-strong army!

In this way, it was impossible for the troops in Sun Jian's hands to hold Yuzhang Commandery!

The only retreat was to withdraw from Chai Sang, retreat to Lujiang Commandery, and defend the river!

Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope!

"Wouldn't this help that Lin Ziyuan!"

Zhou Xin frowned; what he cared about was the world of the Han Dynasty!

To let him help Lin Yang, wouldn't this be helping the tyrant!

"Sigh, if the lord does this, there is only the path of defeat when the great army surrounds the city!"

With a sigh, the middle-aged scholar was completely helpless!

He was a scholar who had studied in Luoyang!

But because Zhou Xin treated his old mother well, he was willing to defect to him and help him make plans!

As a result!

Several times, he made suggestions, but the other side didn't adopt them!

"My plan is for the lord and for the people of Danyang. Since the lord doesn't listen, please let me return home to enjoy my old age!"

The middle-aged scholar cupped his hands and prepared to retreat!

For a time!

Looking at his long history, Zhou Xin hesitated!

He wasn't doing it for himself!

But for the people of Danyang!

Historically, Zhou Xin once resigned automatically and disbanded the troops of a commandery for the sake of the people of Danyang!

Now, facing Lin Yang's great army, Zhou Xin also had to think about the people of Danyang!

Sun Jian had already lost!

Next, Lin Yang's target must be his Danyang Commandery!

If the great army attacks, the people of Danyang, who had finally recovered, would be hit by the flames of war again!

This was what he didn't want to see!

"Zigang, you have convinced me!"

With a helpless sigh, one side was the Han court, and the other was the people of Danyang!

To save the people of a commandery from the flames of war, he could only do this!

"I will personally lead fifteen thousand troops and go down the river immediately to cut off the retreat of Chai Sang; you send someone to inform Lin Yang!"

Zhou Xin looked at Chai Sang and hoped his choice was not wrong!

A battle could stabilize the people of Yangzhou!

The middle-aged scholar saw this, cupped his hands, and hurried to arrange it!

The battle of Yangzhou could be decided in one battle, depending on this battle of Chai Sang!

Three days later, Yuzhang Commandery, Yuhan County

"My lord, the vanguard scout reports that there is no movement of the great army in Nanchang County, Sun Jian seems to have retreated!"

Stationed outside Yuhan City, Lin Yang heard Taishi Ci's report and frowned!

Sun Jian retreated just like that?

"Ziyi, did the scout find out where Sun Jian retreated to?"

Guo Jia, standing nearby, spread out the map and hurriedly asked!

"Uh, according to the scout's report, it seems he went north!"

They didn't see the traces of Sun Jian's great army, but according to the traces left behind, it looked like he went north!

"Bad, my lord, this Sun Jian wants to retreat to Lujiang Commandery!"

Going north, that was Lujiang Commandery!

For Guo Jia, this was undoubtedly the worst situation!

Sun Jian now had no Yuzhang Commandery, and there were only two places he could retreat to!

One was to return to Changsha Commandery!

One was to retreat to Lujiang Commandery, which he had just attacked!

Retreating to Changsha Commandery meant Sun Jian completely abandoned Yangzhou!

They could successfully take the four commanderies of Yangzhou!

And retreating to Lujiang Commandery meant Sun Jian wanted to defend the river!

This situation was what Guo Jia least wanted to see!

"Military advisor, isn't it just retreating to defend Lujiang Commandery, we can just attack again!"

Dian Wei didn't understand the difference and spoke loudly!

Guo Jia smiled, looked at Dian Wei, and shook his head!

"We can't attack anymore, my lord, you don't have a navy!"

Seeing Dian Wei, Taishi Ci, and others not understanding, Guo Jia pointed it out!

Lin Yang's great army looked brave!

But they were all infantry!

Having occupied Yangzhou for a short time, Lin Yang's command had no navy!

What separated Lujiang Commandery and Yuzhang Commandery was the Yangtze River!

Sun Jian had warships and a navy!

They didn't have any!

Once Sun Jian crossed the river, this group of people could only watch from this side of the river!

As for collecting fishing boats on the river to cross the river, that was also impossible!

Sun Jian's navy would definitely blockade the river!

The great army was not good at water warfare, so crossing the river was undoubtedly going to die!

"Uh!"

Hearing Guo Jia's analysis, the room fell silent!

Taishi Ci, Dian Wei, and others were all dumbfounded!

They were all northerners and really weren't good at water warfare!

Only people like Xu Sheng and Ling Cao understood Guo Jia's worry!

The natural barrier of the Yangtze River, once guarded by the navy!

Without warships, it was really impossible to cross!

"Pursue, must pursue Sun Jian before Chai Sang!"

At this moment, cold light flashed in Lin Yang's eyes!

He didn't have a navy!
