Nanchang City, Taishou Mansion.

Lu Su hurried to the hall, followed by Lu Fan and Zhu Zhi.

The three of them came to the hall and bowed to Sun Ben.

Lu Su asked, "Boyang, what happened?" Is it that Jia Xu has a new move? ”

Sun Ben nodded and said: "Jia Xu did have a new move, he changed the way of besieging Nanchang County, and changed the way of besieging Nanchang County, encircling the south, north, and west sides of Nanchang County, leaving the east of Nanchang. Jia Xu wants to use this to weaken our determination to defend the city, which is delusional and cannot succeed. It is not for Jia Xu's business to bring you here, but because Wang Can has quietly attacked Lujiang and has taken the entire Lujiang County. ”

"Ahh

Lu Su exclaimed loudly, with an unbelievable look on his face.

For a long time, Wang Can led the army to besiege Nanchang County, how could he take Lujiang?

Lu Su thought carefully and immediately understood the problem.

In the past month, Wang Can did not show up, and it was often Lu Meng and Jia Xu who appeared. Obviously, Wang Can deliberately let Lü Meng lead more than 300,000 Shu troops to attract Lu Su's attention, and Wang Can quietly attacked Lujiang.

"What a golden cicada out of its shell!"

Lu Su secretly praised in his heart, admiring Wang Can's strategy, but a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

More than 300,000 Shu troops were blocked in Nanchang County, and Lu Su was still complacent and happy, but he didn't expect Wang Can to be in the army at all. This news made all the joy in Lu Su's bones disperse.

Lu Fan said with emotion: "Wang Can is too cunning, too cunning. ”

Zhu Zhi said: "I haven't seen Tai Shici for this period of time, and I feel puzzled in my heart. From this point of view, Tai Shici must have followed Wang Can to Lujiang. Zijing, Lujiang is lost, Wu has lost a county, Yuzhang County has lost most of it, the day is not safe, only Wu County, Danyang County, Luling County, and Huiji County are left in the six counties of Wu State, the situation is not good! ”

Lu Su said in a deep voice: "I know that the state of Wu is in crisis, Jiangxia and Jiujiang and other places have been lost, and the state of Wu has not been affected. Lujiang was lost, Wu had been invaded by Wang Can, and the decisive battle between the two sides officially began. At this time, the importance of Yuzhang County became more prominent. Once Yuzhang County was captured by the Shu army, Luling County, Danyang County and Huiji County were also in danger, so it was necessary to hold Nanchang County and keep more than 300,000 Shu troops out. ”

Sun Ben said: "Defend Nanchang and never retreat!" ”

The people present looked serious and made up their minds to hold Nanchang and keep the Shu army out.

This result is naturally what Jia Xu is willing to see. As long as Lu Su stays in Nanchang County, Jia Xu can boil slowly and push Lu Su into a desperate situation step by step

……

Wu County, Shizifu.

Sun Quan received the news that Sun Jian was defeated and killed, and was instantly stunned.

He sat still, pale, his eyes blank, and he looked helpless. If it was only Sun Jian who was defeated and killed, Sun Quan would only grieve in his heart for a while, and he would still be able to raise his spirits to rectify state affairs and stabilize the situation in Wu.

However, it's not that simple.

The veterans Huang Gai and Zu Mao went to their deaths one after another, Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang were killed, Zhou Yu, the governor of the navy, was killed, and the general Tai Shici surrendered to the enemy.

These news are far beyond Sun Quan's current ability to bear.

There are only more than 100,000 left in the 300,000 army, how tragic!

The state of Wu was in a safe corner, with no geographical advantages, a weak population, and a weak force, and the loss of 200,000 troops at once made Sun Quan afraid of the next war.

If there are no soldiers, how can you fight?

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune are not a single line, Sun Quan was still immersed in shock and sadness, and the news of the loss of Lujiang came.

When Sun Quan got the news, his eyes went dark, and the whole person fainted to the ground with a bang.

Shisun Quan suddenly fainted, which frightened the people of Shizifu. They all knew the news of Sun Jian's killing, and understood that Sun Quan was about to inherit the throne, once Sun Quan had an accident, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?

A group of people hurriedly helped Sun Quan up, and invited a doctor to put their minds at ease.

After Sun Quan woke up, he looked tired.

The faint worry in his eyes could not be concealed.

Wu took Sun Quan's hand and said earnestly: "Quan'er, your father and brother were defeated and killed, and the burden of Wu Guo was handed over to your shoulders, you can't have three long and two short!" ”

Sun Quan smiled and said, "Mother don't worry, my son is fine." ”

As he spoke, Sun Quan got up from the bed and asked the attendant to get dressed.

Wu stood aside and said solemnly: "Quan'er, before your father set out on the expedition, he had canonized you as the son, but if something happens, you will immediately succeed to the throne." Now that your father is dead, inherit the throne as soon as possible and stabilize people's hearts. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Mother don't worry, Zijing has mentioned in the letter that Zijing will succeed to the throne soon." ”

"Whew!"

Wu breathed a long sigh of relief, comforted Sun Quan again, and then turned to leave.

On the eighth day of December, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne of King Wu and announced in public that he would resist to the death.

Sun Quan lived in the palace and immediately summoned Zhuge Liang.

At this time, Lu Su was leading the troops outside, and Sun Quan relied on Zhuge Liang very much, because Zhuge Liang had predicted the defeat of Wu in advance. The news from the front came and was predicted by Zhuge Liang, but it was not only a fiasco, it was simply a mess, and even the capital of Wu State's resistance was defeated.

Sun Quan was sitting precariously, and Zhuge Liang was sitting below.

Staring at Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan said sincerely: "Kong Ming, Wu Guo is really in danger, what can you do?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "King Wu, the only way to do this is to clear the wilderness, resist step by step, and gradually weaken Wang Can's forces. When Wang Can's army arrived in Wu County, the troops were almost lost, and there was no strength to fight again, so there was a chance to protect Wu State. ”

Sun Quan frowned and said, "Kong Ming, can't you take the initiative?" ”

Zhuge Liang asked: "Dare to ask King Wu, have you taken the initiative to win once?" ”

Sun Quan shook his head with a wry smile, speechless.

Zhuge Liang said: "Wang Can himself is a wise general, plus there are countless capable generals under his command, it is quite difficult for us to defeat Wang Can with a strategy." This matter can only be seen slowly, and if the opportunity arises, it is natural that the opportunity cannot be missed. If there is no chance, they can only resist and gradually weaken the strength of the Shu army. ”

Sun Quan shook his head and sighed, very disappointed.

……

In the north, Cao Cao's attack on the Yuan clan has come to an end.

After Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Shao's sons were all divided and went their separate ways. Cao Cao, assisted by Sima Yi and Liu Ye and others, adopted a strategy of dividing Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, dividing the three Yuan brothers into three small groups, and then defeating them one by one, and finally taking Youzhou. The once-tyrannical Yuan clan was completely wiped out, and only the isolated and helpless high-ranking cadres of the state were left.

Youzhou, Jixian County.

After Cao Cao pacified Youzhou, he stayed here temporarily.

Barracks, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Cao, Sima Yi, and Liu Ye stood next to a small improvised sand table, looking at the map. Cao Cao held a slender wooden stick, pointed at the map, and talked to Sima Yi and Liu Ye from time to time to discuss the strategy of breaking the annexation state. At this time, Man Pet hurriedly walked in and whispered in Cao Cao's ear for a while.

In an instant, Cao Cao's face changed greatly.

Sima Yi and Liu Ye stood aside, speculating about what was going on.

Cao Cao asked, "Zhongda, guess what happened." ”

Sima Yi replied unhurriedly: "King Qiwei, I guess that something happened in Jiangdong. The biggest possibility is that Wang Can easily defeated Sun Jian, causing the two sides to lose balance and the situation to get out of control. ”

Cao Cao nodded, throwing away the wooden stick in his hand.

He carried his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and said hatefully: "Lone always thought that Sun Jian was a fierce tiger, which could slow down Wang Can's footsteps and consume the strength of the Shu army, but how did he know that Sun Jian was a sick cat, not only was he killed, but even the army under his command was also a lost soldier." In this way, it is difficult to consume Wang Can's strength, and even achieve the effect of Wang Can's miserable victory! ”

Cao Cao's plan was for Wang Can to win a crushing victory and Sun Jian to be defeated.

In this way, Cao Cao had the opportunity to compete with Wang Can, but unfortunately Cao Cao failed to do so.
