Chapter 190: Anticlimactic
After Sun Quan learned that the commander of the Wei army was Sima Yi, he was extremely depressed in his heart, it seems that his judgment this time was really wrong, the minds of these Wei people are really unpredictable, in Luoyang City, in order to fight for power and profit, the fight is life and death, but at the critical moment, it is the same hatred and hatred, and the same external situation.
Could it be that Cao Shuang and Sima Yi reconciled so easily because of the invasion of Wu?
Sun Quan couldn't figure it out, but in fact, Cao Shuang was far from being as magnanimous as he thought, and the reason why he let Sima Yi lead the army, Cao Shuang was really helpless, after all, among the clan and cronies, there were few Liao Liao who could lead the troops to fight, so Cao Shuang had to let Sima Yi lead the army.
Even Cao Shuang thought that Sima Yi was the enemy who wanted to retreat from Eastern Wu, and it was reasonable for Sun Quan to be afraid of Sima Yi, and in the entire Jiangdong, the only one who could compete with Sima Yi was probably only the general Lu Xun.
At this moment, Lu Xun was building the city of Yicheng, and did not participate in the Northern Expedition with Sun Quan.
The city is in the north of the Yangtze River, and the west capital Wuchang across the river is far away, when the Three Kingdoms were first established, this city belongs to the Wei State, the soldiers and horses of the Wei State can look at Wuchang across the river, Lu Xun is deeply worried, Wu Chiwu two years, Lu Xun led the army to conquer the city, overhauled and rebuilt, and transformed the city into a military fortress in the north of the Yangtze River, so that the Wei people can no longer easily drink the Yangtze River.
At that time, many people were puzzled by Lu Xun's move, Wu had the Yangtze River, why bother to build another fortress in Jiangbei, and Yicheng had its back to the Yangtze River, and there was no danger to resist, which did not seem to have much strategic value.
However, Lu Xun insisted on his own opinion, believing that the city of Yicheng could increase the depth of the strategic defense of Eastern Wu, although the land in the north of the Yangtze River is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but sitting on the Yangtze River may not be able to sit back and relax, the Yangtze River defense line stretches for thousands of miles, and it is inevitable that there will be a sparse in the end, and the addition of the fortress of Yicheng can prevent the Wei people and the Yangtze River, and the Wei people do not even have the opportunity to drink the Yangtze River, and it is naturally impossible to talk about finding the flaws in the Yangtze River defense line.
Lu Xun's proposition was supported by Sun Quan, and the rebuilding of the city to increase the depth of Wuchang's defense was actually very similar to the concept that Sun Quan had been adhering to to defend the river and defend the Huai.
Otherwise, Sun Quan sang and danced in Jianye City, and the Wei army on the other side of the river was trumpeting and drumming, and it would be difficult to sleep and eat on this day.
Lu Xun in Sun Quan's strong support, rebuilt the city, and with 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend it, you must know that the end of the Wu country, there has never been more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, Lu Xun with one-tenth of the country's troops to garrison the city, can be described as an important town among the important towns, in addition to Jianye, I am afraid that there is no second city has such treatment.
Lu Xun is far away in Yicheng, and the only generals on Huainan's side are Quan Cong, Zhuge Jin, and Bu Vulture, Sun Quan knows that with the ability of a few of them, they are indeed a little worse than Sima Yi, and if they really want to fight, I am afraid that no one is Sima Yi's opponent.
Suddenly, Sun Quan had the idea of retreating again.
If you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will run, this seems to have become the main tone of Sun Quan's every attack, and every Northern Expedition is full of thunder and rain, and it ends hastily with a little setbacks and difficulties.
This kind of war is actually very boring, although it is said that the Wu army has fought a lot of battles and has almost no big losses, but if it is always fought like this, the morale of the army will inevitably be low, and many soldiers are thinking that they will retreat before the war starts.
But when it comes to retreating, Sun Quan is a little unwilling in his heart, after all, this time Sun Quan has made a lot of determination, and he wants to play a big game with 200,000 troops across the country, but in the end, if it still ends in the same hurry, I am afraid that he will only be laughed at by the world again.
Therefore, Sun Quan immediately convened the people to discuss countermeasures, wanting to listen to the opinions of the audience generals, whether they should withdraw or fight.
Ma Zhu said: "Shouchun, Lu'an, Yiyang have been attacked for a long time, and now Sima Yi has led the army to help, if the Wei people should be combined with the outside, it is difficult for our army to resist the enemy, it is better to withdraw for the time being, and when there is an opportunity, it is not too late to send troops again." ”
All the generals echoed the voice, believing that Zhu was reasonable, and they all believed that the battle situation was unfavorable at this time, and it was better to withdraw troops and strike the battle.
Sun Quan's face was gloomy, if it has been difficult to make achievements in the Northern Expedition over the years, the attitude of these ministers occupies a large factor, every time Sun Quan raises troops to conscript, there must be a bunch of ministers looking for various reasons to advise, once the war is unfavorable, these people began to blow the wind in Sun Quan's ears again, persuading Sun Quan to withdraw from the army and stop the war.
With such a group of people pulling back, how can Sun Quan's ambition be realized?
For a long time, the political forces of Eastern Wu are divided into two major factions, Jiangdong faction and Huaisi faction, Jiangdong faction is represented by Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang four wealthy families, and Huaisi faction is represented by Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, Cheng Pu, Lv Meng, with the death of Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, the political pattern of Jiangdong has changed significantly, although the Huaisi faction and some important ministers such as Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi are still there, but with Gu Yong as the prime minister, Lu Xun worships as the general, and the position of the head of the civil and military affairs is held by the Jiangdong clan. The Jiangdong faction has become a dominant trend.
If Sun Quan wants to sit on the throne, it is inseparable from the support of the Jiangdong family, and these families attach great importance to their own interests, so they do not support Sun Quan's Northern Expedition, and do everything possible to pull Sun Quan's hind legs.
Weibei General Zhuge Ke had a different opinion: "Your Majesty raises troops on a large scale, and retreats first before the enemy arrives, doesn't it make the world laugh?" Although Sima Yi is powerful, he is already a person with obedient ears, and half of the loess is buried, so what is there to fear? In today's Shaobi battle, Wang Ling lost courage, our army is in full swing, and we must not retreat at this time to lose morale and people's hearts. ”
Zhuge Ke is the eldest son of Zhuge Jin, since he was a child, he is intelligent, resolute and resolute, and has the reputation of a prodigy. The people of Danyang Shanyue are fierce, and the Danyang soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they are famous all over the world. Sun Quan from it, worship for Danyang Taishou, Zhuge Ke spent three years, swept the entire Danyang County, 100,000 Shanyue people to attach, Zhuge Ke selected its elite 40,000 people into the army, so that the combat effectiveness of the Wu army was greatly improved.
Seeing this, Sun Quan said with a happy face: "Does Yuan Xun have a good plan?" ”
