Chapter 1742: Do you call this a pirate?

Jingzhou, Xiling County, Jiangxia's office, was the base camp of the Sun-Huang coalition army at this time.

Under Liu Xiu's step-by-step pressure, Huang Zu, who only has one county, can be described as precarious.

At this time, Huang Zu could not resist Liu Xiu on his own, and only by asking for reinforcements could he survive this catastrophe.

But the eldest brother Jingbei Qin Jun is now too busy to take care of himself, and in desperation, Huang Zu can only ask for help from Sun Jian of Jiangdong, who had a grudge.

Sun Jian also had the opportunity to eliminate Huang Zu and completely occupy Jiangxia, but considering that Liu Xiu was a greater threat, he retreated to the next best thing and joined forces with Huang Zu to fight against Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's army had already captured the six counties of Jiangxia, but with the joint efforts of the Sun and Huang families, the Chu army became more and more difficult in Jiangxia, and even forced Liu Xiu to increase troops from Jingnan in order to maintain the results achieved before.

Liu Xiu increased his troops, and Sun Jian also had to increase his troops, otherwise the situation in Jiangxia would be difficult to maintain.

Soon, the forces used by the Wu and Chu families in Jiangxia reached nearly 100,000 troops, and the rear was naturally empty, but now both sides were unable to sneak attack the enemy's rear.

"My lord, Jiaozhou has only been attached to Liu Xiu not long ago, and the Taiping army has not yet completely returned to the heart, so in the short term, it is impossible for Liu Xiu to send troops from Jiaozhou to attack Jiangdong." Sun Wu said with a confident face.

"Hmm."

Sun Jian nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, the rear of our army should not worry, and we can also concentrate on a decisive battle with Liu Xiu." ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier hurriedly broke in, anxiously reported: "The lord's affairs are not good, there are a large number of pirates in Wu County and Huiji County, and these pirates slaughtered the village and destroyed the village after they came ashore, killing and injuring countless people. ”

"What?"

Sun Jian and Sun Wu exclaimed at the same time, and Sun Jian hurriedly asked, "How many pirates are there?" ”

"Nearly 20,000 people. At present, Qu'a County of Wu County and Yongning County of Huiji have been attacked by pirates.

After these pirates entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, raped ** women, and did all kinds of evil, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and the two counties have become empty cities. ”

"What?"

Sun Jian and Sun Wu's exclamations became louder, and then both of them gritted their teeth in anger.

At first, they thought that these pirates were disguised by Liu Xiu's army, compared to forcing the Wu army on the front line to withdraw their troops back, but now it seems that it should have little to do with Liu Xiu, after all, Liu Xiu will definitely not do such a thing as slaughtering the city.

Liu Xiu's style of acting is quite benevolent, when he attacked Jiaozhou, no matter how difficult the situation was, he never used a knife against the people, and now he is at the peak of his prestige, and it is impossible to do such a thing as slaughtering the city to destroy his reputation.

"Most of the pirates around Jiangdong have been purged by Bengong, where did so many pirates come from?" Sun Jian said with a puzzled expression.

Sun Wu's eyes were full of grimness, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord, it must be other forces that have intervened. ”

"Could it be Liu Xiu?" Sun Jian asked.

Sun Wu shook his head: "It should have nothing to do with Liu Xiu, but it can also be seen that this opportunity is to tarnish Liu Xiu's reputation." ”

"Good idea."

A fine light suddenly flashed in Sun Jian's eyes, and Sun Wu's implication was that no matter whether Liu Xiu did it or not, even if Liu Xiu could prove his innocence in the end, this basin of dirty water would be splashed on Liu Xiu's head to distract him.

"The top priority is to exterminate this pirate as soon as possible, if they are allowed to slaughter the city in Wu County and Huiji, we Wu Guo may really be broken." Sun Wu said with a solemn face.

"Where do the soldiers come from?" Sun Jian asked.

"The front-line army can't move lightly, and can only rely on the county soldiers in the rear."

"There are nearly 20,000 pirates this time, can you fight back with only the county soldiers?"

"In fact, the combat power of the county soldiers is not weak, as long as it is supplemented by a good commander and a fierce general, it will definitely be able to repel the pirates."

After that, Sun Wu took the initiative to ask for orders: "Wu is willing to lead the army to exterminate the pirates." ”

"No, no, no."

When Sun Jian heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Liu Xiu's threat is even greater, and the martial brother must not leave the front line." ”

As soon as Sun Jian's words fell, Sun Ce and Sun Quan below stood up at the same time and said in unison: "Father, the child is willing to lead the army and expel the pirates." ”

Seeing this, Sun Wu pondered for a while, and said: "The eldest prince is brave and decisive, and the second prince is both wise and brave, and he will definitely be able to repel the pirates and raise the prestige of our army." ”

"Okay, in that case, Ce'er, you will be responsible for exterminating the Huiji pirates."

After speaking, Sun Jian looked at Sun Quan again and said, "Quan'er, you are responsible for exterminating the pirates of Wu County, remembering that you are young, and then send General Zhou Tai to assist you." ”

Sun Quan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I will definitely live up to my father's expectations." ”

Sun Ce and Sun Quan immediately took office and quickly rushed to Wu County to preside over the affairs of Huiji, but this time it was not an ordinary pirate, and its cunning level far exceeded the two brothers' expectations.

Sun Ce's opponent this time is Akechi Mitsuhide, and Sun Quan's opponent is Tokugawa Ieyasu, both of whom are top generals in the history of Japan's Warring States period.

When Sun Ce learned that the county was besieged by pirates, he immediately led 6,000 soldiers to support, but the pirates had fled after arriving, and could only look at the sea without saying a word.

Sun Quan blocked Tokugawa Ieyasu in time, and with 8,000 soldiers and 10,000 Japanese soldiers, he launched a fierce battle in Fuchun County, and as a result, both the battle array and the fighting generals were completely defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

In the end, if it weren't for Zhou Tai's desperate rescue, Sun Quan might have been killed in battle, and more than half of the 8,000 county soldiers were killed or wounded.

After the defeat, Sun Quan was no longer able to encircle and suppress Tokugawa Ieyasu, so he could only stubbornly defend Wu County, where he was governed, and watched Tokugawa Ieyasu run rampant and reckless in Wu County.

"Second son, spare your life, I really don't know that this group of pirates will have such a strong combat power." Fuchun County Commander cried.

Sun Quan angrily lifted the Fuchun County Order, and roared: "Do you call this a pirate? This is obviously the elite of the Japanese army. ”

Sun Quan really thought that his opponent was a pirate, and he was careless about the enemy, so he hurriedly started the war, and as a result, the opponent showed superb quality, which was not possessed by pirates at all.

Through clothing, weapons, and language, Sun Quan easily analyzed the origin of the other party, after all, Dongying and Sun Wu have communicated a lot over the years.

"Immediately spread the news that the pirates were pirates to the eldest brother and father."

After that, Sun Quan sat directly on the ground, thinking that he would show off his skills this time, but he was embarrassed and embarrassed.

In Xuzhou, Zhu Di was shocked when he learned that the rear was attacked by pirates, the two counties were slaughtered, and tens of thousands of people died.

"Di'er, the main force of our army needs to resist the Song and Wei coalition forces, and we can't move lightly, we can only use the county soldiers to deal with the pirates." Fan Zeng said with a serious face.

"It's just a pirate, it's just a rabble, it's enough to have county soldiers." Zhu Di said with a cold face.

"Who are you going to send, the commander of the army?"

"The king himself went." Zhu Di said sonorously.
