Chapter 423: Sun Quan moves the capital

Lusu on land. Lu Meng was still trying his best to stop Liu Pan, but no one on the Yangtze River could stop Guan Yu. Guan Yu's fleet went down the river, and it was only a few days before they arrived in Lujiang, and this time they came with another 15,000 troops, which was only Liu Cong's vanguard force, and Huang Gai, who was temporarily sent by Sun Quan to the water village of Weixu, hurriedly met the battle while flying to report to Sun Quan!

It is no longer enough to describe the successive defeats and retreats of Lu Su, LΓΌ Meng and others, and they were originally able to organize some decent resistance in close proximity to Yuzhang and other counties. After entering Lujiang County, the news of Chaisang's defeat spread rapidly, and even some county magistrates ran away early along the way, relying on some local clans to temporarily organize families to maintain law and order in the county, but they were not waiting for Lu Su but waiting for Liu Cong's army to come! I hope that after the arrival of the imperial army, the war will subside and law and order will be restored slowly!

The news of the defeat at the front spread extremely fast, and Sun Quan could not suppress it. In the face of a lot of pressure, Sun Quan really couldn't stand it, and it was true that if it went on like this, Wu County would be in danger, and once he lost Wu County, he would be finished, including his little life. Even if Liu Cong doesn't kill him, Zhang Zhao and those users Sun Ce and Sun Shao will not let him go! And Xu Ming of Qu'a, this guy is actually a descendant of Xu Gong?

Now Sun Quan is like a gambler who has lost all his chips, Chaisang has lost, Yuzhang has lost the entire county, and Jiangdong has now been stirred into a pot of porridge. He only has Wu County, Danyang County, and Guild County in his hands. But the power of these three counties could not stop Liu Cong's overwhelming offensive at all.

It has only been three months since the two sides started fighting after the claim to be king, and only three months have passed

I'm in a desperate situation. Liu Cong is a thief, Lone and you are incompatible. After Sun Quan howled like a wounded wolf, Sun Quan reluctantly issued an order, ordering Sun Jing's army to return to Wu County and abandon Jiaozhou.

After Sun Jing received the order, she was also full of ambition. Returning to Wu County, it is really helpless, Jiaozhou is still when Zhou Yu was alive, taking advantage of the battle between Liu Cong and Cao Cao Fancheng, he sent Buqi to attack Jiaozhou, which is also the only territory expanded since Sun Quan's rule, and now that the army has withdrawn, Liu Cong is afraid that as long as he sends a civilian official to Zhao'an, he can re-take Jiaozhou into his arms. Jingzhou and Yizhou presented an encirclement posture against Jiaozhou, and at this time, those Jiaozhou people and officials were clear.

And the more than 10,000 people in Sun Jing's hands can be regarded as the only formed army in the entire Jiangdong, if Liu Cong is allowed to attack Wu County, then Sun Jing can only take these people to trap in the South China Sea, and Sun Quan can only flee to the South China Sea, Sun Jing of course does not want to come to this step, the South China Sea is a poor place with mountains and rivers, and the people are fierce, where can it compare to Wu County!

According to Sun Quan's estimate, although Lu Su and Lu Meng were embarrassed, Liu Pan would take another month or two to approach Wu County from the land, and he could fully support Sun Jing when he returned. And Sun Quan desperately urged Sun Jing to come back and have other plans!

Since the start of the war between Chaisang, the war between the two sides has entered a white heat, Sun Quan's army is fighting less and less, while Liu Cong is fighting more and more, and the speed of eliminating the other is too terrifying! Sun Quan has been surprised by a fact that he doesn't want to believe, why in just a few years, Liu Cong's navy is so powerful, so strong that the navy on which Jiangdong depends for survival is vulnerable in front of them?

And the fall of Chaisang made Sun Quan even more restless, and he now began to regret a little that he didn't listen to Zhang Zhao at the beginning, at least he didn't claim the king, maybe Jiangdong could still work together to resist Liu Cong. Perhaps Cao Cao will also help from this. And coercing my sister-in-law is even more irrational! It was Sun Quan's gradual soberness and calmness that allowed Zhang Zhao, Xiao Qiao and others to escape. Because Sun Quan has realized the danger of betraying his relatives.

A sigh made the young Sun Quan rush to a trace of despair. But he has also been scared over the years, his brother died early, and I don't know how many people are staring at his territory. Especially Cao Cao in Jiangbei, I don't know how many times he has come, and the successive struggles have forced Sun Quan's last bit of ambition out.

The stronger the enemy, the more it will arouse his fighting spirit. Defeating a powerful enemy is the best thing in life. Rising to the challenge is the real hero. He decided to concentrate on fighting Liu Cong to the death, because he knew that escaping would not give him life!

"Zhong Xiang, how is the recruitment of new recruits for our army?" In the palace of King Wu of Wu County, Sun Quan convened the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss. And Yu Fu was the one who instigated him to call Wang Zili to be lower than the promotion of Liu Cong's court. I just didn't expect the situation to be the way it is.

Hearing Sun Quan's question, Yu turned his face and looked embarrassed: "Lord, the formation of the new army is not slow, every day in Wuxian City can recruit four or five hundred recruits, and there can be three or four hundred people on the Shanyin side!"

However, due to the lack of sufficient training, now that Liu Thief is coming too quickly, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to form combat effectiveness in a hurry. If you shoot them now to go to the front, then the attrition rate will be faster than before! And the loss of the pass may be the biggest difficulty at the moment! All shipbuilding workshops in the country have been requisitioned. However, the replenishment of warships and land was far from keeping up with the consumption. ”

"Liu Jundi's battleship is so powerful?" Sun Quan was very puzzled, Jiangdong had to be proud of the navy, but now it has reached the point where the warships can't keep up with the consumption? If Liu Cong can't be stopped on the Yangtze River, then Liu Cong's numerical advantage in land battles will be even more obvious!

In the battle of Chaisang, the loss of warships and ground was similar to that of both the enemy and us. It's just that Liu Jundi's replenishment speed is too fast. Our army lost one warship and could only replenish half of it. However, the enemy's loss of one ship can replenish more than two. "Yu Fu also just heard that he had never been to the front line of Chaisang, but he knew that there was no doubt about the ability of Lu Su and Lu Meng and others to command the troops, if you want to say why the Jiangdong Navy lost so badly, it is probably that the warships can't keep up, resulting in too much disparity between the enemy and our forces! Whether it was the bloody battle of Hukou or the battle of Gutang, in the eyes of these civilian officials, although their own deaths were tragic, why couldn't they take the initiative to attack because the number of their own warships could not keep up?

Regarding the difference in strength between the two countries, Sun Quan is mentally prepared. Especially on the infantry side. Liu Cong was able to take 30,000 or 40,000 infantry to beat Cao Pi's 30,000 cavalry in a daze! In addition, Liu Cong's army is like a cloud, and after winning Yizhou, the population is three or four times that of Jiangdong, and the army is abundant! I didn't expect to be surpassed by Liu Cong in terms of the water army, and it was too difficult to win this battle.

"How's the preparation for moving the capital?" Sun Quan looked at the civil and military officials who were speechless in the hall and asked.

"Don't worry, my lord. Everything went smoothly. The construction of San'in, Huiji County has been completed. People who are migrating past. It's just that the name of this San'in place is not good. Then please rename it to Your Majesty. Yu Xuan saw that Sun Quan had finally changed the topic, and this time he straightened up and replied.

"Well, Shao Zuo Zhongxing, I hope that my Great Wu will prosper. Rise to prosperity, regain lost land, and unify the world. It was renamed Shaoxing. ”

San'in is located in the hinterland of Jiangdong, and the relocation of the capital was also due to the unfavorable situation faced by Sun Quan. His strategy is to exchange space for time, dragging the enemy army to death in the quagmire of war in Jiangdong, hoping that Cao Cao will not sit idly by. There are mountains to the west and south of Shanyin as barriers, and they use the terrain advantage to slowly consume Liu Cong, and once Cao Cao joins the battle, he may counterattack! Therefore, he believes that it is inevitable to give up some territory in the early stage. And now the position of the capital Wu County is too high. As for the mausoleum with the spirit of the emperor that Zhang Yu said before he died, it can only be kept in his heart.

In the past, when Cao Cao was resisted, there was a natural danger of the Yangtze River, and this place was once unbreakable! However, Liu Cong's mother-in-law Chaisang, down the river, Moling is directly threatened, and from Moling to Wu County by land is only more than 300 miles, and by water, Wu County to the east of the Yangtze River is only a few dozen miles, and it is imperative to move the capital! Sun Quan didn't plan to send the recruits he had recruited these days to the front line so quickly. No matter how strong Lu Su and Lu Meng are, they will definitely not be able to stop Liu Pan, who is like a rainbow, so it is better to simply retreat! Space for time!

"No! Lord, moving the capital at this time is equivalent to giving up the two counties of Lujiang and Danyang to the enemy! Gu Yong also maintained a tacit attitude towards Sun Quan being the king before. And after he saw Sun Quan's viciousness, he understood why Liu Cong chose to attack Jiangdong so quickly. The young lord Sun Quan's abandonment of Zhang Zhao undoubtedly self-destructed the Great Wall in terms of internal affairs. And he didn't expect that Sun Quan had already intended to move the capital, and Shanyin was ready?

Now the relocation of the capital seems to be hiding from the enemy's edge, but this is tantamount to putting the soldiers on the front line in a wolf pack, and it will not be long before they will be swallowed by the enemy. Sun Quan's bullying of his sister-in-law and nephew has divided Jiangdong, and many people in the upper class have gradually moved away from Sun Quan's group.

"The necessary renunciation in wartime is also for the sake of longevity." Sun Quan's brother Sun Lang answered for Sun Quan, Sun Jian was still young when he died, and Sun Ce did not contribute when he was fighting in the east and west, and he did not want to see such a dangerous thing as fighting, although the enemy is still in Yuzhang, but he also feels that his brother's strategy of moving the capital is wise, at least he can ensure safety for a while.

"No, the old minister thinks it can't! Please think twice about moving the capital! "There were few ministers of cultural relics in the hall who had ideas, Yu turned over and asked Sun Quan to move the capital, Sun Lang supported him, and when Gu Yong saw that it was impossible for one person to turn the situation around, the veteran Zhu Zhi stood up!

Seeing Zhu Zhi stand up against it, Sun Quan was a little embarrassed. If you want to say that there are still people that Sun Quan is afraid of, one is Zhang Zhao, and the other is Zhu Zhi. Now that Zhang Zhao has fled, he originally thought that no one would oppose his move to the capital, but he didn't expect this old guy to ...... Sun Quan glared at Zhu Zhi and was unwilling, but it was not easy to attack, because Zhu Zhi's identity was too special.

Zhu Zhi is also one of the few surviving three generations of veterans, Zhu Zhi served as a county in his early years, and was later investigated as filial piety, and the state opened up his career and followed Sun Jian to fight everywhere. In the fifth year of Zhongping, worship as Sima, and follow the army to crusade against the Zhou Dynasty, Suma and other thief armies in Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang and other counties.

In the second year of Chuping (191), the Kwantung Army opposed Dong Zhuo, Zhu Zhi followed Sun Jian to break Dong Zhuo Yuyang, entered Luoyang, was supervised by the military captain, authorized the general to ride on foot, and went to Xuzhou to help Tao Qian crusade against the Yellow Turban Army.

Sun Jian died in battle, and Zhu Zhi assisted Sun Ce and relied on Yuan Shu. Later, he knew that Yuan Shu did not establish government affairs and morality, so he persuaded Sun Ce to return to Jiangdong to stand on his own. Taifu Ma Riyan was in Shouchun, and Zhu Zhi was promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Wu County. At that time, Wu Jing was an official in Danyang, and Sun Ce was ordered to attack Lujiang for Yuan Shu, and Liu Miao was deeply afraid that Yuan Shu and Sun Ce would be annexed, resulting in misunderstanding and suspicion. However, Sun Ce's family was in the state, so Zhu Zhi sent people to Qu'a to greet Sun Ce's mother and Sun Quan and other younger brothers, and provided maintenance, which was very kind to the Sun family.

Zhu Zhi has made outstanding achievements, is kind to the Sun family, and is now the Taishou of Wu County, the leader of the Zhu family of the four major families in Jiangdong, Sun Quan can ignore Zhang Zhao, but it is difficult to disobey Zhu Zhi! So the situation froze for a while, Sun Quan looked at Yu Fu helplessly, and signaled him to hurry up and find a way to persuade this old stubborn!
