Chapter 197: Overlord takes action, defeats Yan Baihu and occupies Wucheng

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, two young men, who were only fourteen years old, decided on the future battle strategy of the Sun family army in front of Sun Jian's grave. Then Sun Ce convened Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, four veterans, to discuss matters in Fuchun County, and Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing participated.

Sun Ce first told everyone about Zhou Yu's strategy and asked, "If Gongjin's strategy is successful, my Sun family can dominate Jiangdong."

After hearing this, Cheng Pu said, "Our army plus Gongjin's three thousand young and strong men are only more than 6,000. Yan Baihu occupied Wucheng County and commanded more than 20,000 people. How can he defeat it?"

Sun Jing was quite calm, and he said, "Sheng Xian may not necessarily order Bo Fu to lead his army to war. Wouldn't it be too early for us to discuss these at this time?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and replied, "Those who accomplish great things should not be careful of the trivial matters. Even if Sheng Xian does not order, our army can send troops to Wucheng County. What's more, Sheng Xian is a timid and afraid of trouble. I expected that the document to order Bo Fu to send troops was already on the way."

It seemed as if to verify Zhou Yu's words, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the soldiers coming to report, "Lord, Prefect Sheng has a document to hand over to you!"

After Sun Ce took the official document and read it, he smiled and said, "It turns out that it was not as expected by Gongjin. Sheng Xian ordered me to send troops to suppress Yan Baihu."

Then Sun Ce gave the official documents in his hand to everyone to circulate. After reading the official documents, Sun Jing said, "I have a plan to defeat Yan Baihu!"

Sun Ce asked, "Will the plan come out? Please tell me my uncle."

Sun Jing said, "I have seen this man Yan Baihu several times. He relied on his powerful Wucheng and was arrogant. Bo Fu ordered a general to lead the three thousand young men recruited by Gongjin to go first to invite the battle. These young men are not good at military formations. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that Yan Baihu will definitely underestimate the enemy. At that time, pretend to be defeated and pretend to retreat. Yan Baihu will definitely lead the army to pursue him. Bo Fu led the elite troops to ambush Yan Baihu during the pursuit, and caught him off guard. With Bo Fu's bravery, he took Yan Baihu's head from the chaos army like taking objects. If Yan Baihu was beheaded, our army could fight to Wucheng County."

Huang Gai smiled and said, "Youngtai's plan is very good!"

Han Dang nodded and said, "I think it's feasible!"

Sun Ce also felt that his uncle Sun Jing's plan was very good, but he turned to look at Zhou Yu and was about to make plans after listening to Zhou Yu's opinion. Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce looked at him, and he could not know Sun Ce's thoughts. A warm current passed by his heart. He nodded and smiled, "Uncle Sun's plan is the best choice, and Bo Fu can act according to this plan! As for the ambush place, I think he can choose Qingsongkou, thirty miles south of Wucheng County."

Seeing that his good buddy and think tank nodded in agreement, Sun Ce didn't have much thoughts. He said to everyone in a deep voice: "Then our army will act according to this plan. Zu Mao, Han should obey the order!"

"The last one will be here!"

Zu Mao and Han Dang immediately stood up and replied with his fists.

"I ordered you and the other two to lead three thousand young men to Wucheng County to invite Yan Baihu to fight against Yan Baihu. Remember to be defeated but not win. Be sure to lure Yan Baihu to the ambush of our army."

Sun Ce ordered the two of them.

"promise!"

Zu Mao and Han Dang immediately took the order and left.

"The rest of them followed me to lead the remaining three thousand elite troops to ambush the Qingsongkou."

After sweeping around everyone, Sun Ce said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

Everyone in the hall quickly agreed.

The next day, Zu Mao and Han Dang took San Qiangqiang out of Fuchun and headed towards Wucheng County. The two of them walked and stopped along the way and arrived at the foot of Wucheng County on the third day.

Because he had explained in advance, and the three thousand young men had never experienced the army, he stood crookedly at the city, looking vulnerable. Yan Baihu was deceived when he saw this and immediately led 15,000 troops out of the city to fight. The two sides fought for only a quarter of an hour. Zu Mao and Han Dang were defeated and fled in a hurry. This was no wonder Zu Mao and Han Dang. Originally, they wanted to act in a play, but they didn't know that Yan Baihu's soldiers had all gone to the battlefield and had seen blood. They killed the three thousand young men in just one round of charge. There was no need for Zu Mao at all. Han Dang was really defeated.

Yan Baihu was originally worried that Sun Cejun would have some tricks, but he didn't expect that these people were farmers who had just put down their farm tools and did not understand the way of fighting. The Sun family army was famous in the Jiangdong area. Yan Baihu defeated them without any effort at this time, which made Yan Baihu's heart swell to the extreme. He ignored the dissuasion of the generals and only led the army to follow and pursue.

The men from both sides chased each other and finally arrived at Sun Ce's ambush, Qingsongkou.

Yan Baihu was just a powerful man in the area, so he didn't know any strategies. In the past, he defeated Sheng Xian just because he had a large number of people and was not afraid of death. Yan Baihu's army had just entered Qingsongkou, and the sound of drums suddenly came out of the hillsides on both sides. Under the leadership of Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others, the three thousand Sun family troops broke out from the hillsides on both sides. Yan Baihu's army had never encountered such a formation. They were panicked for a moment. Sun Ce saw the opportunity and headed for Yan Baihu first.

Sun Ce's martial arts are deeply rooted in the essence of Sun Jian. Although he was weak, his skills were no less than ordinary adults. In addition, Sun Ce followed Sun Jian to fight in the east and west when he was young, and his murderous aura was condensed. When he first met, people dared not come forward to resist. Sun Ce came to Yan Baihu unimpeded. With one move in his hand, Yan Baihu was killed and sun Ce was knocked down by Sun Ce.

As the saying goes, generals are the courage of soldiers, and soldiers are the power of generals. When the main general Yan Baihu died, his troops and horses were all scared. In addition, the Sun family's army was brave, so the rest either fled in scattered and kneeled down to surrender.

After Sun Ce gathered Yan Baihu's remaining soldiers, he followed Zhou Yu's plan and then deceived the Wucheng County Town and defeated the army guarding the city.

Only three days after Sun Ce's army, he killed Yan Baihu and recovered Wucheng County. This destructive force made the families of the surrounding counties stunned.

Sheng Xian attacked Yan Baihu, who had not yet taken down for a long time, and now Sun Ce took it down in just three days, which made people reconsider whether Sheng Xian was really competent for the prefect of Wujun.

For the aristocratic families in Wujun, they are used to living a good life and naturally do not want to have a rebellion every three days and a mutiny every four days. A relatively stable environment is what they need. Sun Ce's ability is shining and dazzling, and he is from a local aristocratic family in Wujun, which makes everyone start to have new ideas in their hearts.

Since Sun Ce took over Wucheng County, he personally appointed his uncle Sun Jing as the magistrate of Wucheng County, and did not take Sheng Xian seriously at all. The actions of the Sun family army made the various families in Wu County smell a different smell. Within a few days, various families sent people to bring gifts to Wucheng or Fuchun, intending to please the Sun family.

On this day, Sun Ce convened everyone to discuss the matter in the Wucheng County government office.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "It has been half a month since our army appointed Uncle Sun as the magistrate of Wucheng County. Sheng Xian remained silent during this period. It seems that he has acquiesced to our actions."
