Chapter 272 - Crusade against traitors, it is difficult to ride a tiger.
When Zhao Yun and Liu Ru got married, the entire Chu Army Group began to get busy, preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains!
Of course, persimmons pick up soft pinching, and Xiang Yu is no exception. At Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Xiang Yu first set his sights on Sun Ce's forces in Changsha.
There are two reasons why Zhuge Liang suggested crusading against Sun Ce's forces, one is to fight close to the mainland, and most of Sun Ce's soldiers are ordinary people, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, and the other is to make it difficult for Sun Ce to ride a tiger!
After all, Sun Ce can now be said to be sandwiched between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
For Liu Bang Group, Sun Ce is a thief, and for Da Chu, he can also label Sun Ce a traitor!
In this way, the crime of crusade will naturally be there, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
And according to Sun Ce's current power, if he wants to survive, he must either submit to Liu Bang or Dachu.
In order to avoid being beaten up, Xiang Yu specially led Xu Maogong and Qin Ming with 30,000 people to Xiapi and Wei Chigong to see Han Xin.
Xu Maogong and others fought with Meng Shu, who was stationed in Guangling City. Look at Han Xin's Qi army.
After all, Han Xin still has Yuan Shao and Zhang He and others under him, so he must be on guard.
Later, he sent Meng Hui, Gan Ning, and Liu Bowen to lead 30,000 horses to Guiyang to see the Qin army in the southwest.
Leaving Tian Feng, Huang Zhong, Xun Yu and others to guard the house.
In this way, the 150,000 army, after being appointed everywhere, left only 30,000 horses for the army left for Xiang Yu to call.
After stabilizing the rear, Xiang Yu set up troops in Changsha.
Since it was the first large-scale use of troops, the lineup of this crusade against Sun Ce could be described as Zhuge Liang, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Zhou Bo, Yu Ziqi and others, who went straight to Changsha.
In the original battle plan, the Chu army was divided into two routes, one led by Xu Huang, Zhou Bo, and Yu Ziqi, from Pingguan in the southeast, and went straight to Pingxiang in Changsha.
And Xiang Yu took Zhao Yun out of Yichun and smashed Huanglong.
Of course, this expedition is also indispensable to Lu Wenlong and others Under the advice of Zhou Bo, Xiang Yu also felt that it was time for a few people to go to the battlefield to temper and temper, and a few people were extremely happy when they learned about it, and they didn't have to sneak into the army!
After the first battle of Jianshui, Sun Cejun lost two generals in a row, which can be described as a heavy loss, and the remaining soldiers and horses in his hands are only 50,000.
When Sun Ce heard the news of the Chu army's crusade against him, he was immediately stunned, but he still convened a meeting of his generals overnight.
When his generals heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, and they didn't provoke the tiger of Chu Jun! What kind of wind is Xiang Yu smoking, he actually wants to send troops to crusade against himself!
"What do you think our army should do now?" Sun Ce looked at the generals and asked.
When the generals heard this, they all bowed their heads silently.
Seeing this, Sun Ce immediately said angrily: "Could it be that there is really no one under our army?!"
"Don't be annoyed, brother, brother has a plan."
The speaker was a young man sitting next to Sun Ce, the young man looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, but the appearance of the young man was a little different from ordinary people, the young man was blue-eyed and purple-haired, and he was big mouthed, long and short.
This person is Sun Ce's brother Sun Quan!
"Oh? What is the plan of Zhongmou, let's talk about it quickly. Sun Ce saw that it was his younger brother who spoke, and most of his anger disappeared.
"Brother thinks that now we are sandwiched between Han and Chu. The reason why Xiang Yu crusaded against us was just to make it difficult for us to ride a tiger!
With our own strength, we will definitely not be able to resist Xiang Yu's attack! At present, we have two choices, either to take refuge in Western Chu, or to fall to the Han Dynasty! The biggest problem facing our army now is not the Chu army, but to make a choice between Chu and Han!
This choice is a matter of our survival and of our future development!" Sun Quan hit the nail on the head.
After listening to Sun Quan's words, the generals suddenly realized and nodded again and again.
Huang Gai frowned and said, "What the young master said is yes, so how should we choose?" ”
"This non-kid can be determined, it depends on the opinions of the generals." Sun Quan shook his head and said.
As for his younger brother's opinion, Sun Ce strongly agreed. Sun Quan's statement is actually equivalent to giving everyone the right to choose, which is more conducive to buying people's hearts.
After all, the current rebel army is nominally the lord, but the entire rebel army is supported by the Sun family and the other three rich families.
It's just because the Sun family is the most powerful of the four families, otherwise Sun Ce would never have been able to sit in the position of the lord.
This is the case in time, but Sun Ce is still extremely cautious, after all, the other three families are united, and it is enough to compete with Sun Ce. This is the situation that Sun Ce does not want to see, at least for now.
Sun Ce thought in his heart, and couldn't help but feel that his younger brother could take on a big responsibility.
"Well, what Zhongmou said is right, this matter cannot be decided by a certain person, what do you generals think, you can speak freely." Sun Ce immediately handed over the choice to everyone.
When the people below heard this, they began to whisper. After a while, everyone stood up and spoke their minds.
In short, there are those who support Xiang Yu, and there are those who support Liu Bang Group. The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. However, Han Dang and Huang Gai, who are Sun Ce's confidants, have not spoken.
After Sun Ce listened to everyone's opinions, he turned his gaze to the two people: "What do the two generals think?" ”
When the two of them heard this, they immediately said in unison: "Lord, I advocate falling to Liu Bang!"
When Sun Ce heard that the two of them had the same thoughts, he couldn't help but be interested: "Oh? Tell me what you two think. ”
After the two glanced at each other, Han Dang said: "My lord, I think that the princes in the world are all sealed by the Han Dynasty, although they have their own selfish intentions.
But in the face of Xiang Yu, it was a consistent attitude towards the outside world. Moreover, Xiang Yu also had a holiday with the surrounding princes not long ago, so we might as well temporarily take refuge in Liu Bang and use the strength of other princes to fight against Xiang Yu!"
"What General Han said is that taking refuge in Liu Bang can not only be better with the princes, but also Liu Bang is now busy quelling the chaos, and he has no time to manage the local princes, even if Liu Bang takes it out, but the emperor is far away, he can't take care of us!
But Xiang Yu is different, as long as we surrender to him, it will really be regarded as surrender, and once our army has a big move, Xiang Yu can react as soon as possible!" Huang Gai arched his hand.
"Well, Zhongmou, what do you think?" Sun Ce set his sights on Sun Quan again.
"Big brother, I also support the views of the two generals."
Sun Ce nodded and said, "What do the generals think?" ”。
When everyone heard this, they immediately stood up and arched their hands: "Obey the orders of the lord!"
"Good! So and so I will write a book and send it to Chang'an!" Sun Ce immediately decided to take the case.
