"My lord!"

"Wu Hou, for the sake of today's plan, shrinking the defense line and recapturing Xiakou is the right way, and it is not easy to capture Nanjun."

"My lord."

For a while, when they heard about Sun Quan's decision, the important ministers under the rank couldn't help but show a look of great urgency, and they all gave up their hands to admonish.

In fact, the news that Guan Yu was seriously injured and in a coma did not come out.

Therefore, they will be frightened, and the Jingzhou army will take the opportunity to send troops to continue to attack Jiangdong.

In fact, under the premise that Guan Yu's life is at stake now, and the Jingzhou Army has experienced several months of the Northern Expedition, the army's combat strength is no longer at its peak.

Now, being able to capture Xiakou is already the limit.

It is impossible to continue to attack the territory of Jiangdong.

After all, in the first battle of Hanjin, although Wu Zu suffered a heavy blow and achieved a great victory, the Jingzhou Navy Division also suffered a lot of losses.

It can take strategic places such as Wuchang, Baqiu, and Lukou, or go straight down the river, and it will not work at all by relying on foot soldiers alone.

Seeing the ministers retorting word by word, Sun Quan's gloomy face became more and more intense, and his fists were clenched tightly and weighed.

Half-loud kung fu.

"Report, urgent report."

Suddenly, the guards standing outside the gate of the mansion at this time couldn't help but rush over quickly, and said in a loud voice: "Lord, General He Qi is in a hurry!" ”

"Now the situation in the south is unfavorable, due to the defeat of Hanjin in the past two days, General Gan Ning was damaged, and the battle report of the defeat of Xiakou spread all along the Yangtze River, and Shanyue, hidden in the mountains, actually attacked with all his might."

"Now, under the city of Shanyin, about 100,000 Shanyue soldiers and civilians have gathered, besieging the city on all sides."

"General He said that the current situation is critical, and he asks the lord to send troops to help quickly, otherwise I am afraid that the southern counties will not be owned by our army!"

A seat fell.

The guards were not in a hurry and quickly informed the news tightly.

"What!"

"100,000 Shanyue troops?"

"This ...... This ......"

After hearing the guard's announcement, the ministers in the hall fell into shock.

100,000 Shanyue soldiers and civilians rebelled together.

This, almost unheard of, is unprecedented in scale.

In the past, even if the Shanyue rebellion was carried out, it was only fought separately and in batches, and the size of each rebel army was mainly only a few thousand, and the scale was only 10,000 people.

Now, 100,000 people are jointly sweeping and attacking several counties of the Guild, and the situation is really not optimistic!

In particular, now that the Wu army is still gathering on the western front to attack Jingzhou, the rear is almost extremely empty.

Then, the rebellion of 100,000 Shanyue is extremely terrifying!

If you are not careful, even Koto will be shaken at all.

After a long groan, Gu Yong stood up first and admonished: "Lord, the situation has changed now. ”

"Shanyue is actually a large-scale rebellion, and our army's plan to attack Jingzhou should be immediately suspended, and the governor of Lu Du should be ordered to withdraw the army, shrink the army, and quickly return to the defense to quell the rebellion."

"Then, urgently send an envoy to Shuzhong to ask Liu Bei for peace, rebuild the alliance, and cut off contact with Cao Thief."

"Only in this way can our army quickly withdraw from the Western Front and turn to deal with the imminent Shanyue rebels."

"Otherwise, once the main force of our army is dragged into the quagmire of war, the battle situation will be in danger!"

"Please also ask the Lord to make a quick decision."

A seat fell.

The rest of the ministers also gave up their hands one after another, seconding Gu Yong's plan.

Half ringing.

Sun Quan couldn't help but soften his head, but didn't make a decision immediately, and turned his eyes to the side.

"Zibu, for today's plan, what do you think, how should Lonely?"

At this time, Sun Quan had a look of embarrassment and help in his eyes.

From the side, the elderly Zhang Zhao on the side slowly got up from his position, bowed and saluted, and said: "Lord, in Zhao's opinion, Gu Yuansi's plan is the only choice for us now. ”

"After all, Xiakou has been lost, and my Jiangdong portal is open, and I will face the Jingzhou army at any time."

"However, Jiangling City is difficult to capture in a short period of time due to Guan Yu's reinforcement and operation for more than ten years."

"Zhao is worried that once the siege continues, when the reinforcements from Shuzhong are dragged eastward, and the arrogance of the Shanyue rebels is getting stronger and stronger, our army will be in a dilemma!"

A word.

At this time, all the expressions around him couldn't help but show joy on their faces, and they didn't have the anxiety just now.

Zhang Zhao, who was a trusted minister during Sun Ce's reign, had unparalleled contributions to Sun Quan's succession to the throne for decades in helping him stabilize Jiangdong and control power.

Therefore, in general, Zhang Zhao's strategy, Sun Quan will almost obey it.

Of course, there were also strategies that were not adopted, but that was what Zhang Zhao did too much, that is, in the Chibi period, persuading Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao.

Now, Sun Quan may not be able to adopt the policies of all the people.

But the same strategy, if Zhang Zhao said, then he will never oppose it again.

This is a question of status.

From this stage, all the ministers are standing on both sides, but Zhang Zhao has a separate seat in the upper court, which is an honor.

Hearing this, Sun Quan saw that Zhang Zhao also agreed with Gu Yong's plan, and he also showed an extremely unwilling look, and said again: "Zibu, is there really no other plan for today's plan?" ”

"Can you only give up the strategic plan of attacking Jingzhou?"

Jingzhou, since Sun Quan has led the northern expedition to Jianghuai several times in the past ten years, and fought hard in the eastern front area to no avail.

He has already shifted his attention to the direction of Jingzhou and turned to the Liu Bei Group, whose strength is steadily rising.

It can be said that today's Sun Quan is salivating for Jingzhou!

Naturally, he was unwilling to give up.

"Lord, at this very moment, you must give something."

"Now, Jingzhou is difficult to take, but the rear is in danger."

"Our army, we can't delay any longer!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zhao had already said it very obviously.

That is, it is necessary to defend back.

Otherwise, I'm afraid Jiangdong will not be protected!

Half-loud kung fu.

After thinking for a while, Sun Quan couldn't help but look lonely at this time, like a deflated ball, and said weakly: "You wait for the order for Gu as soon as possible, and order Lu Meng to quickly shrink the front-line army and hold on to the important place." ”

"Then, quickly send the main force back to defend Jiangdong to fight against the Shanyue rebellion."

A very low-level speech is gone!

Immediately, Sun Quan's face was expressionless and weak, so he waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Now, due to this change, he can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, and he can no longer continue to discuss the military situation.

It's just that at this moment, Zhang Zhao smiled on his face, suddenly waved his hand to stop Sun Quan, and stroked his beard and said: "Lord, with today's strategy, our army can't easily give up Jingzhou." ”

"Zibu, what do you mean by that?"

For a moment, Sun Quan seemed to have regained his confidence, turned around abruptly, and said loudly.

At the same time, the rest of the ministers couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhao with doubts.

I don't know, what is his plan?

Immediately, Zhang Zhaocai said loudly: "Lord, everyone, although our army is in danger at this time, we cannot continue to besiege the fortified city of Jiangling. ”

"However, the important town of Xiakou is the gateway to my Jiangdong."

"Our army must be recaptured with all our might."

"Otherwise, in the future, our side will always be under the front of the Jingzhou army and be threatened."

"In this way, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable!"

"Therefore, Zhao thought that the lord should continue to give orders, continue to recruit people in Jianye, Jingkou and other places, and then gather the troops of Xunyang and march west to besiege Xiakou."

"Expel the Jingzhou army and recapture Xiakou."

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhao once again planned and revealed himself!

A seat fell.

There was an instant silence in the hall.

After a long while, Sun Quan said excitedly: "Gu Yong, the matter of recruiting sergeants will be handed over to you." ”

"Be sure to recruit soldiers and send them to Xunyang within half a month."

"No!"

Hearing this, Gu Yong did not refute it, and promised it.
