Seven hundred and forty-four, we are powerless!
Han Dang was dead after all.
Dead in battle.
There was no other possibility, and he died in battle without any surprises.
For Guo Jia, Zhang Liao and others, this was just a mantis blocking the road, but for Han Dang himself, he might have fulfilled the last thought in his heart.
So before his death, when he was pierced by more than a dozen spears, as his consciousness became increasingly blurred, he seemed to see the two people who had been fighting all the time, waving to him, and those comrades he once missed very much.
They were all waving to him.
It can be considered as seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence.
Shicheng County was quickly captured. Many Wu troops in the city chose to resist, and then all those who resisted were killed. More people chose to surrender, and then told the Wei army that Sun Quan ran towards Wuhu.
This is not something surprising, but Guo Jia feels something is a little wrong.
"Why did they go west instead of south?"
Guo Jia murmured to himself, thinking about this question.
"Run west or not south?"
Zhang Liao stood beside Guo Jia and heard Guo Jia muttering: "This is a problem. If they plan to continue fighting, run south and follow the south, it will be difficult for us to pursue it in depth. This is a road, run westward, it is Yuzhang County, and they... want to run to Jingzhou?"
!!!
Guo Jia immediately widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Liao: "By the way! That's it! They may be planning to escape to Jingzhou for refuge when they are helpless!"
"ah?"
Zhang Liao and Yu Jin both looked at Guo Jia in surprise.
"Jingzhou? Fengxiao, don't make any mistakes. There is a grudge between Sun Quan and Liu Biao to kill their father. Such a big grudge is considered a cooperation if they don't fight. How could they go to Jingzhou? It's impossible to think about it."
Yu Jin shook his head: "It's just that I'm in a panic, right?"
"It's hard to say."
Zhang Liao's face suddenly changed: "Before, we had received information that Zhou Gongjin asked Liu Jingsheng for help. Liu Jingsheng ordered Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu to send troops to help? Although he had never received any news of Huang Zu's troops, what if..."
"It makes sense."
Yu Jin was a little surprised: "When life and death are alive, we can't care about so many things. Being able to live is the most important thing, so they are really likely to escape directly from Yuzhang County to Jiangxia?"
"If they want to escape to Jiangxia, it is not a problem, but at present, His Highness the King of Wei is not ready to start a war in Jingzhou and starts a war against two enemies in one breath. The pressure on Yuzhou and Xuzhou is too great to do so."
Guo Jia said, "If they cannot be dealt with in Jiangdong, if they escape to Jingzhou, they will only be able to wait until we start war against Jingzhou in the future to catch Sun Zhongmou. But at that time, we may not be the battlefield. Le Wenqian would not miss such a good opportunity."
"That won't be cheaper Le Wenqian!"
Yu Jin was a little anxious: "This is our contribution. To make such contributions and to take down Sun Quan, Wu Gong, is a great gift to the establishment of the new dynasty. The king will definitely be very happy. How can he give this to Le Wenqian? Go and chase it! You must never let Sun Zhongmou go!"
"Yes! Just do it!"
Zhang Liao nodded and immediately ordered the rectification of the cavalry. He quickly rectified the three thousand cavalry. Due to Jin's personal leadership, he pursued the whole way forward.
Under the arrangement of Zhang Liao and Guo Jia, the remaining troops swept the remaining counties on the spot, began to conquer cities and territory, and sweep Danyang County.
Yu Jin chased him quickly, while Sun Quan and others ran away with no life. Sun Jing didn't even have time to feel sad about Sun Yu's death, so she ran away with Sun Quan. She ran and ran. Finally, she came to Wuhu before the fall of Wuhu and met Huang Gai.
Huang Gai never expected what happened before. He was fighting to resist the attack of Xu Huang's troops, but in a blink of an eye, the Wu Kingdom was gone!
What is this? What is this?
"It's really over. The Dantu and Shicheng are all over. The Wei army has landed in Jiangdong. We have no way out."
Lu Fan looked depressed: "Governor Zhou has died in battle. The only way to survive is to go up the river and go to Yuzhang County to find Sun Fujun, back to Jingzhou, and resist with Jingzhou soldiers. If this is not possible, he can only retreat to Jingzhou and seek protection from Liu Biao. There is no other way."
"What?"
Huang Gai was shocked: "Did Gongjin die in battle?"
"yes."
Lu Fan was very sad: "Governor Zhou was killed in battle in order to resist Zhang Wenyuan. Governor Zhou was killed in battle. How can we continue to fight against the enemy? The fall of Jiangdong is now a foregone conclusion, and we have no way out. Only these soldiers and horses still have combat power. Using this as a bargaining chip, we should be able to get the protection of Liu Biao.
Guo Zifeng ordered the army to capture Jiangdong, and there should be no remaining energy to attack Jingzhou for the time being. We can still regroup in Yuzhang County and rest for the time being, and then seek cooperation from Liu Biao, and work with Liu Biao to counterattack Jiangdong again, while Guo Zifeng has not yet gained a stable foothold in Jiangdong!"
Actually, Lu Fan himself didn't believe this kind of nonsense.
Counterattack?
What counterattack?
Just these three or five thousand soldiers want to counterattack Jiangdong?
Want to defeat so many Wei troops?
Can everyone be defeated by magic weapons?
If the divine weapon really came from the sky, it wouldn't have lost so badly.
Sun Ben is in Yuzhang County, and there is also Sun Fu in Luling County. These two counties are still safe at the moment, but most of the troops in the two counties have been transferred to the defense line along the river. The remaining troops are less than 3,000. Is it just these troops that want to defeat the Wei army?
Sun Ce could not win even if he had 60,000 people, and Zhou Yu could not defend himself even if he had 40,000 people. Now they were all dead and Jiangdong was gone. Everyone's family members became prisoners of others, and they were still counterattacking?
Just a foolish dream.
After running all the way, Lu Fan had already confirmed that Guo Peng could not defeat him. He just wanted to take Sun Quan and as many troops as possible to leave the death ground and save Sun Quan's life.
It is worthy of Sun's care for him.
The reason for counterattack was that he was afraid that Huang Gai would also follow the old path of Han Dang and would not follow them, thus losing a general like Huang Gai and a large number of precious elite soldiers in vain.
The private military groups under the generals are the most elite part of the Wu army, and Lu Fan knows it clearly.
For this reason, we must persuade Huang Gai to go together.
Both of Sun Jian’s old subordinates, if Huang Gai was stubborn and unwilling to leave, it would definitely be an irreparable loss for Sun Quan.
After hearing what Lu Fan said, Huang Gai's face was dull.
"It's over? It's over? We've worked hard for so many years, but it's over?"
"No! Mr. Wu is still here! The inheritance of Sun's family is still here! As long as Mr. Wu is still here, there is hope for everything!"
Lu Fan pushed out Sun Quan, who was pale, and let Huang Gai see it.
Huang Gai saw Sun Quan with a pale face, blinked and nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Wu is still here, and there is still hope... Then, why not counterattack now? Why should I go to Jingzhou and then counterattack?"
Huang Gai was furious: "Do you have to watch the country fall and do nothing, and go to others to survive? What is the difference between going to Liu Jingsheng's Jingzhou to seek survival and being defeated and captured by Guo Zifeng? Jingzhou has a grudge against me!"
Lu Fan hurriedly said, "It's different, my General Huang! Being defeated by Guo Zifeng is a real prisoner. From now on, he will not be free. Going to Jingzhou is considered a guest army at least! Let's take away all the troops we can take away. Isn't it a helping hand to Liu Jingsheng?
Guo Zifeng takes Jiangdong first, and the next step will be Jingzhou. Liu Jingsheng will not misunderstand the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. In this way, Liu Jingsheng will inevitably treat Wu Gong as a guest of honor and use our strength to help them guard Jingzhou together!"
"Then just watch Jiangdong fall for nothing? This is the foundation that Bo Fu has worked hard to build!"
Huang Gai shed tears on the spot: "Just watching like this, doing nothing, just running away. How can I be worthy of Bo Fu and how can I be worthy of the First Lord!"
"The general has done his best! The Wei army is too strong, Zhang Wenyuan is too treacherous, we are powerless to turn things around!"
Lu Fan also cried and cried: "The Wu Kingdom has a total population of less than 2 million. The population of the three counties of Lujiang, Jiujiang and Guangling combined exceeds one million. How can I fight? I have to retreat!"
