The hinterland of Koto.

A few days.

Yuzhang, Qichun, Danyang, Wu County, and even Wuzhongzhou County such as Huizhi and Luling in the south are all rumored at this time, and the people of the counties and counties can't help but show sadness and panic!

"Ah, I heard that our army's Lukou, Baqiu and other important places were captured by the Jingzhou army, and the majority of the governors led the people to recapture them, but they didn't expect that the Jingzhou army would actually kill Lukou and fight fiercely with the main force of our army."

"After a big battle, the Metropolitan Governor was invincible, and now he has been defeated by the Yangtze River and retreated to the public security."

"This? This is impossible, but the Metropolitan Governor has tens of thousands of troops, how can he be surrounded? ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme! This time, the main force of our army came out, how could it be defeated by the Jingzhou army, this is absolutely impossible, this military situation must be a rumor, is to shake us. ”

For a while, I saw that in the counties and counties of Wuzhong, people from all over the country couldn't help but talk about the war in Jingzhou.

Merely.

However, because there is not much news, it is difficult for them to know the specific situation of the war, so they have their own opinions!

Jingkou, Wuhou Mansion.

At this time, Sun Quan sat on the main seat, his eyes stared closely at the letterhead on the desk, his teeth were closed, his face seemed to be distorted, and his palms seemed to tremble!

At this moment, his whole person couldn't help but show a look of fear.

Because, the letterhead on the case is about the battle of Lukou two days ago, which records in detail how Lü Meng was defeated, and he had no choice but to give up the plan to continue to recapture Baqiu and Lukou and retreat to the public security.

Yes, that's right, it's the news of Lu Meng's defeat.

At this time, there was silence in the lobby, Sun Quan's face was frightened, and all the civil and military under his command were also trembling, and they didn't even dare to come out, for fear that Sun Quan, who was angry, would take them out of anger.

There was silence for a while, and the sound of footsteps slowly sounded, his beard was white, and Zhang Zhao, who was on crutches, was late!

"Zhao visited the lord, I don't know that the lord summoned Zhao so urgently, but something happened?"

"Zibu is exempt."

"Lone is indeed urgent, this time Jiangdong has encountered an unprecedented crisis, and I hope Zibu will save Lone."

Seeing Zhang Zhao coming, at this time, Sun Quan still had a calm look on weekdays, his face was frightened, his speech was hoarse, and he personally walked down the steps with the battle report, and helped Zhang Zhao to sit down from the side.

For a while, Zhang Zhao observed the words and looks, and saw that Sun Quan's face was wrong, and he couldn't help but feel that things were unusual, so he immediately watched the battle report.

Take a look!

Zhang Zhao, who has always been calm, couldn't help but be shocked, gasped, and muttered, "This ......... The Jingzhou army and the Cao army have been fighting bloodily for several months, but they still have such combat power? ”

"The Metropolitan Governor fought with superior military strength, but was killed and defeated?"

At this moment, Zhang Zhao's eyes were solemn, repeating the record in the battle report, repeating it repeatedly.

Obviously, he didn't expect the situation of this battle, and he was very surprised!

After all, this betrayal of the alliance and Jiangdong's large-scale attack on Jingzhou is a national policy unanimously agreed by the civil and military forces.

Before the war, because the main force of the Jingzhou Army was confronting the Cao Army on the front line, and the rear was empty, all the people in Jiangdong almost unanimously concluded that the attack on Jingzhou this time was determined to be like a bamboo, and it was decided by the first battle!

But it has only been more than two months, and the situation is beyond imagination.

First, Hanjin was defeated, Gan Ning was killed, and Xiakou was taken advantage of the opportunity.

Then, Shanyue rebelled and took the opportunity to rebel on a large scale, endangering the hinterland of Koto.

Sun Quan therefore urgently ordered Lü Meng to stop attacking Jingzhou and withdraw his troops back, but the battle situation was getting worse and worse.

Baqiu and Lukou strategic points were lost successively, and the Wu army went to recapture them, but they couldn't attack them for a long time!

Until now, the Jingzhou army has defeated the Wu army with 10,000 people, forcing Lü Meng to be defeated and stick to public security.

This general change almost caught the people in Jiangdong off guard, and they were so shocked that they didn't even think of the most basic countermeasures.

Before the war, who would have thought that the situation would deteriorate to such a state in a battle that must be won?

For a while, Sun Quan was anxious in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Zibu, so far, what countermeasures do you have, can you teach me?" ”

After the words fell, he muttered again: "Yesterday, He Gongmiao sent a messenger north to tell Gu, the Shanyue offensive has become more and more intense, and he can't support it!" ”

The voice fell.

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and thought quietly, and after half a sound, his eyes moved slightly, and he muttered: "Lord, according to this, our army is currently in a predicament, and the people under the command of the Metropolitan Governor have been cut off from all retreats. ”

"The battle of Jingzhou should not continue any longer, otherwise our army will be in danger of overturning!"

"Judging from Zhao, at present, I Jiangdong can only send envoys to re-seek peace with the Jingzhou army and rebuild relations."

When the words fell here, Zhang Zhao also observed the words, and found that when Sun Quan heard this, his face was still vaguely unwilling, and his tone couldn't help but increase a few points, and he said seriously: "My lord, Jiangdong is the foundation of our army, and there is no room for loss!" ”

"So far, the Jingzhou army is a great enemy, our army should quickly seek peace, resolve the battle on the Western Front, let the Metropolitan Governor lead the people back, and solve the worries of Shanyue, which is the right way!"

A seat fell.

Zhang Zhao then said no more, quietly waiting for Sun Quan's choice.

He has already analyzed the specific situation and countermeasures, Sun Quan is very smart, and Zhang Zhao believes that he knows how to choose.

Half ringing.

Sun Quan did not agree to negotiate peace in an instant, but sat back on the main seat, faced Gu Yong at the bottom of the stairs, and muttered: "Yuan sigh, what do you think our army should do now?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Yong's face remained unchanged, his words were serious, and he arched his hand: "Lord, Yong seconded Zhang Junshi's suggestion, the current situation of our army is unfavorable, and the war in Jingzhou can no longer continue." ”

"My lord, let's make peace."

"My lord."

In the next second, the rest of the people in the hall heard Zhang Zhao's analysis, and they couldn't help but feel the urgency of the current situation, and they also unanimously echoed it.

It's just that in the face of this change, Sun Quan was irritable in his heart, and did not immediately agree to the plan to seek peace, so he brushed his sleeves away and withdrew from the meeting hall tightly.

"This?"

"Mr. Zibu, the lord refuses to sue for peace, what should our army do next?"

For a while, when the ministers saw this, they couldn't help but look anxious, and asked Zhang Zhao from the side.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord is not an unreasonable person, he is just unwilling, and unwilling to be defeated this time, he has resentment, and he can't pull down the Jingzhou army if he asks for peace." ”

"Wait for two days, after the lord is discouraged, he will make a decision, you don't have to worry!"

When the words fell, Zhang Zhao waited for a while, then immediately got up and left slowly.

"Ugh."

Then, the ministers looked embarrassed, sighed, and dispersed.

………

Backyard, inside the mourning room.

At this time, Sun Quan was standing here, staring at the two positions above, silent for a long time.

After half a ring, he showed a sad face, showed a trace of tears, and cried first: "Father, brother, I am ashamed of you!" ”

"Now not only has it not opened up territory for Jiangdong, but it has put Jiangdong into a crisis!"
