Chapter 604

Gao Shun and Ling Cao are approaching the river with the army. In fact, they are taking the army across the river as hostages.

With gaoshundu heavy infantry in defense, it's naturally strong, and it's not so easy for the enemy to break through.

Naturally, sun CE and Yuan Shu can't ignore the 200000 troops in the capital, so they need a lot of supplies.

But supplies can only be transported through the Yangtze River, which is a big problem for us. It's not easy to transport supplies at all.

When it was almost dawn, Huang Gai looked at some planks floating on the river and wanted to cry.

"I'm sorry, Lord. I trust you."

This time, a large amount of grain and grass were transported to the river to feed the fish, which was hard for him to accept.

Moreover, he took ten thousand troops with him, and there were only more than four thousand people who could go ashore. He also worked hard to swim to ashore.

Cheng Pu came early to help Huang Gai deal with the aftermath.

"Don't be sad. The army of Jiangdong capital is coming again. It seems that this battle is not easy to fight. We need to work together." Cheng Pu advised.

Huang Gai sighed deeply, and then went back to the barracks with Cheng PU.

At this time, Du gaoshun and Ling Cao with a large army appeared ten miles away from their barracks, but they were close and did not attack.

After they arrived, Gao Shun began to build a camp there, as if they wanted to defend for a long time.

In fact, it's too dangerous to build a camp so close, and it's easy to be attacked, but Gao Shun and others are still the same.

Sun CE and Yuan Shudu's troops and horses became a backwater battle, or when the supply was cut off.

Can they fight like overlord?

Of course, they can, and the effect is good, but they should be able to break the heavy infantry defense.

In fact, this camp is just for monitoring them. The army can't be stationed here directly, but they will build another camp in the rear 20 Li.

Sun CE and Yuan Shu are in crisis.

Sun CE and Zhou Yu are still on the other side of the river. They didn't cross the river immediately, but they have been informed that something serious has happened.

"Gongjin, are we wrong this time?" Sun CE looked at the river and said.

Zhou Yu didn't answer. He was also thinking about whether it was right or wrong.

But it's not their decision that's wrong, it's their bad luck.

If Zhang Yu really has an accident, according to their understanding, he should be attacked.

But as a result, they are in a dilemma.

Sun CE and his colleagues fell into such a situation mainly because they misestimated the situation of Jiangdong city.

I thought Jiangdong would be in chaos.

Now they have to stick to it.

"Bofu, someone must go to the opposite bank to control the overall situation. I'll find a boat later." Zhou Yu said.

Originally, sun CE wanted to go there together, but Zhou Yu refused.

The Yangtze River is a gulf that divides them and makes them insurmountable.

Gao Shun and Ling Cao stabilized the war, and soon variables came.

Liu Bei's army attacked Zhang Yu, and they were all in several cities.

These cities were acquired by Zhang Yu when they invaded Xuzhou. They were on the North Bank of the Yangtze River, just beyond the estuary of the Yangtze River.

Gao Shun and Ling Cao ignore Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei doesn't have many soldiers.

Several cities on the North Bank of the estuary of the Yangtze River were attacked. The generals were unable to guard them. After a few days of resistance, they gave up on their own initiative and the generals withdrew.

The army retreated to the opposite side with ships and took all the ships away when they went to the capital.

Liu Bei occupied several cities on the North Bank of the Yangtze River, but there were no boats to cross the river, and he was unable to attack the most important city in the east of the river.

At this time, Jiangdong was unable to spare forces to deal with Liu Bei, so he could only let him occupy the northern cities.

It's not that those cities are not important. On the contrary, they are very important. They are the bases of trade with Xuzhou and other places.

There are a lot of capital materials and complete capital defense.

It can be said that Liu Bei made a lot of money this time.

Liu Bei occupied several cities, and then saw that the warehouse was full of goods.

"Brother, Zhang Yu is so rich. Salt, good wine and tea are all stored in warehouses." Zhang Fei was also surprised to see it.

The warehouses inside were full. For the convenience of trade, Zhang Yu put the goods in these cities, and then directly transported them away if necessary.

"Hoo." Liu Bei let out a big breath, and then said, "if I had started with salt merchants in Xuzhou, I would not have been so down at this time."

At this time, Liu Bei knew how rich the salt merchants in Xuzhou were and how much salt they had. In other words, they didn't have to worry about running out of stock and selling all the time.

After Lu Bu took Xuzhou, he followed Chen Gongdu's advice and made a fortune to these salt merchants. Later, he grasped the right of salt trading.

When Lv Bu got Xuzhou, he immediately had a lot of money to use. Then he recruited and expanded his strength, and even got a lot of weapons and equipment from Zhang Yu.

Liu Bei regretted that if he had been decisive at the beginning, he would not have been banished now.

But it's no use regretting.

"Now that I have these things and I have money, I will immediately recruit troops and try to recruit 100000 troops." Liu Bei was inspired again.

Excited, Du Liubei starts to take action. He asks Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to go to the surrounding cities to recruit soldiers, while he takes people to count the materials one by one.

There are a lot of goods and materials here. All kinds of goods are stored in one warehouse after another. These are hard currency now.

Liu Bei thought that if he had money and troops, he might be able to get Xuzhou back.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu soon went to the surrounding cities to recruit troops.

They had soldiers set up several recruitment sites in the city.

"These cities have a large population. It will take only three or five days to recruit tens of thousands of troops, so that the brothers can be ready." After Guan Yu arrived at a city, he said to several people.

They are very familiar with recruiting soldiers. They get a table, carry some money, and have someone to keep order and register.

They are very familiar with these, in a few corners of the city, they began to arrange recruitment.

Although the city was occupied by Liu Bei, Liu Bei did not disturb the people for his image, and soon restored order.

Recruitment starts. Several recruitment sites start to operate.

"Ha ha, I still have scruples about us. I didn't rush in."

Recruitment point just opened, a few points no one to apply, a small leader in charge of recruitment all said.

"My Lord, as long as these people need to eat, they will come to apply for the army. In the past, when we recruited soldiers, we were not too busy." Said one of the soldiers.

The little head nodded and said, "yes, there are hundreds of thousands of people here. If you let go of the recruitment, you can recruit tens of thousands of people a day. You can pay attention to it later and recruit something good."
