Chapter 456, Respite
Zhou Yu lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and suddenly looked up at Sun Jian, "The lord has a daughter under his knees, why don't you marry Lu Zhuo, in this way, it can not only show the sincerity of my Jiangdong, but also have no loss to us, you know, the lord's daughter is only twelve years old this year, hehehe...... When Miss becomes an adult, maybe we will have killed Lu Zhuo a long time ago! ”
Zhou Yu's words were heroic and full of confidence, although he was polite and deeply influenced by etiquette, but he did not look at the problem rigidly, and dared to use Sun Jian's daughter as bait, ordinary people do not have such courage.
Sun Jian thought for a while, and stood up violently, "The little girl is only twelve years old this year, if Lu Zhuo wants to marry my daughter, at least ten years later, with your assistance, I don't believe that within ten years, I can't dominate the Central Plains." ”
As he spoke, Sun Jian violently pulled out the ancient ingot knife on his waist, the knife was like lightning, sharp and incomparable, and for a while, a monstrous murderous aura suddenly spread, and Sun Jian's angular face was also full of pride and extraordinary spirit.
The soldiers hurriedly stood up and responded in a loud voice, "We will do our best to help the Lord dominate the Central Plains!" ”
Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at Lu Su, "Zijing, for the sake of hegemony, just a little girl, what a good way, you work hard, go and tell Lu Zhuo that if he is willing to form an alliance with me Jiangdong, I am willing to marry him and unite forever!" ”
Saying so, Sun Jian has absolute confidence to destroy Lu Zhuo within ten years!
This is a troubled time, whether it is an alliance or a marriage, it is just a means to seek benefits.
Lu Su worked tirelessly, and hurriedly returned to Xuzhou, after seeing Lu Zhuo, although Lu Zhuo was reluctant at first, but also reluctantly agreed, Lu Su happily completed the task and returned to Jiangdong, and Lu Zhuo's side, according to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, sent 20,000 troops, and deliberately drove to Nanhuaikou with great fanfare.
On this day, Lu Zhuo gathered all the civil and military forces together, and as soon as he opened, he said openly and honestly, "Everyone, although Sun Jian and I are married, it is not believable, that Sun Ren is only twelve years old, once this matter spreads, someone will definitely make fun of me behind my back, but, there are no outsiders here, we know our own situation, Mr. Chen Si proposed to unite with Liu Bei, why don't I want to do this, but I Xuzhou is really stretched, there are no soldiers available, although the strategy is good, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!" ”
Looking up at Chen Si, Lu Zhuo felt ashamed, and tears faintly appeared in his eyes, he was sorry for the people of Xuzhou, and he was also sorry for these civil and military generals who followed him, 200,000 horses, after repeated fierce battles, he was stunned and tossed all the time.
Only one Guo Jia made Lu Zhuo lose 60,000 soldiers, Guan Hai took another 10,000, and started a war with Yuan Shao, and there were many casualties.
"Lord, it's all my incompetence!" Chen Deng, Xu Shu, and Tai Shici all stood up with red eyes, they also have unshirkable responsibilities, and they must not let Lu Zhuo take all the responsibilities on themselves.
Chen Si shook his head, and also got up and persuaded, "Lord, don't blame yourself, although the current situation is not good, but it is not a desperate situation, and now it is rare to find a respite. ”
Eyes swept over Guan Yu, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Chen Gong and others, Chen Si is still full of confidence in the next prospects, although the soldiers are almost gone, but Lu Zhuo is not without gains, just these good generals and talents recruited are enough to be worth 100,000 elite soldiers.
Xu Shu nodded, "Chen Lao is right, although there are not many soldiers in Xuzhou, at least for the time being, we are safe and sound, and others can't figure out our reality and reality, so we want to clamp Kuai Yue, as Zhuge Liang said, just need to garrison troops in Nanhuaikou, it is enough to deter Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue will never dare to withdraw easily, but it can play a role in sending troops without troops, why not?" As for marrying Jiangdong, they are child's play, we don't take it seriously, we don't have any losses. ”
If Lu Zhuo is allowed to send troops to Huainan, the reality of Xuzhou will not be concealed at all, and it will soon be seen through, and it may not only fail to recapture Huainan, but also arouse Kuai Yue's peeping heart, Cao Cao will not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely step up the capture of Yanzhou, and then immediately get involved in Xuzhou.
And Lu Zhuo, who had just defeated Lu Bu and Guo Jia, and then immediately increased his troops to the south, false and real, true and false, no one could guess Lu Zhuo's virtual reality.
is like a rich man who buys a big house and a luxury car, even if he eats steamed buns and pickles at home, others don't know how much money he has in his pocket.
This was just an eye-covering method, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Zhuo immediately asked people to post notices everywhere, recruit new soldiers, drill soldiers and horses, raise grain and grass, and build ordnance...... There is a busy scene everywhere, even if it is not as good as the middle of winter in the middle of winter, Xuzhou up and down, still busy in full swing, the general guarding the south Huaikou is Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, in order to confuse Kuai Yue, Zhang Liao not only planted flags all over the city wall, but also tied a lot of straw men with straw and then put on the armor of the soldiers to stand on the city wall, in addition, every day Zhang Liao personally led the troops out of the city to drill the soldiers and horses, look at the posture, it seems that at any time to send troops to Huainan, eyeing the tiger, like a beast about to prey, Kuai Yue wanted to leave, Xu Shu, who was more and more bottomless in his heart, couldn't figure out Lu Zhuo, just in case, his 50,000 soldiers and horses were stunned and stayed in Huainan.
Sun Jian heard that Lu Zhuo did not send troops, and he was cunning and cunning in power, since Kuai Yue did not dare to withdraw troops from Huainan, whether Lu Zhuo sent troops or not, Sun Jian did not care, he personally supervised the battle, Jiangdong soldiers fought bravely, and the offensive was like a mountain and a tsunami, becoming more and more fierce.
The bad news is like snowflakes, flying to Xiangyang, Liu Biao is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, his condition is getting worse day by day, and he can't even get out of bed, Mrs. Cai is more and more annoyed, looking at Liu Biao, who is dying like a dead corpse, lying on the collapsed Liu Biao, just at the young age, the taste can be imagined, guarding Liu Biao, and guarding the living widow is no different, there are a few times Mrs. Cai is really hungry and thirsty, deliberately dressed up with heavy makeup and is extremely charming, I wanted to tease Liu Biao, solve the urgent need, but, only three or two, Liu Biao died down, but instead of satisfying Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao's body was getting worse and worse, and seeing that her death was not far away, Mrs. Cai was tired of even looking at Liu Biao more.
On this day, someone came to report, saying that Lu Bu asked to see, Liu Biao couldn't do anything, Mrs. Cai had already taken almost all the power of Jingzhou into her own hands, she personally came forward to meet Lu Bu, originally Mrs. Cai didn't want to take Lu Bu in, but seeing Lu Bu's heroic posture and lack of spirit, Mrs. Cai's heart suddenly rippled.
Lu Bu had nowhere to run, with his wife and daughter and dozens of remnants of the army, he was extremely embarrassed, and the heroic spirit that swallowed mountains and rivers before had long disappeared.
