"Shang Xiang, why do you have to speak so straightly, and you don't save some face for my second brother." Sun Quan complained with a wry smile, admitting tactfully.

Sun Shangxiang snorted and said proudly: "Our sons and daughters of the Sun family stand up to the sky, either kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy, what you ask for is a vigorous one, second brother, your temperament can make the little sister look down a little."

Sun Quan's expression was embarrassed again, and he said helplessly: "I also want to be as vigorous as my eldest brother, but it's a pity, who made me weak and didn't practice martial arts like my eldest brother." ”

"It's not in the martial arts, it's here." Sun Shangxiang pointed at Sun Quan's heart.

Sun Quan was stunned at first, and suddenly realized that his sister was saying that he was not brave enough, not that he was not good at martial arts.

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth finally raised a hint of pleasure, and he snorted with a flat mouth: "Since you are so bold, little sister, why don't you send you into battle to fight against the enemy, and when you see how powerful that Su Zhe is, see if you can still say these cool words." ”

"Isn't Su Zhe a traitor from a cold family in Jingzhou, so he will be afraid of you like this, second brother, if you say a word, I will immediately take my red-tasseled female soldier team to quarry to help Brother Gongjin."

Sun Shangxiang patted his chest, with the arrogance of a woman who did not let her eyebrows go.

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, but said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, brother is just talking casually, you are a treasure in the palm of the eldest brother's hand, how dare you let your brother risk yourself." ”

Sun Shangxiang was even more energetic, Sakuraguchi snorted, and said proudly: "I thought I would meet the traitor surnamed Su for a while, I don't believe that he is really as strong as the legend, if I go into battle, I will definitely capture him alive." ”

Looking at his arrogant and confident sister, Sun Quan didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the hall broke in in a hurry, and shouted in a trembling voice: "General Yu Zhongmou, the big thing is not good, the Wei army has captured my quarry fortress, and the governor of Zhou is leading the defeated troops to retreat to Jianye City." ”

A bolt from the blue.

Hearing this bad news, Sun Quan's figure flickered, his face changed suddenly, and even the wine glass he had just picked up spilled on the ground.

Sun Shangxiang was even more discolored, and exclaimed: "How is it possible, it has only been less than half a day, and Brother Gongjin has lost the quarry!" ”

In the lobby, there was an immediate uproar, and everyone fell into panic.

After a while, Sun Quan recovered from the shock, and sighed helplessly: "It seems that what Lu Su said is really right, this head of the Nine Wonders, no one can control him, alas, ......"

After Sun Quan sighed helplessly, he got up and got on his horse and hurried to the city gate to meet Zhou Yu.

Sun Shangxiang also woke up from the shock, and his eyebrows condensed into a rope, and he also followed.

The news of Zhou Yu's defeat had already spread throughout the city, and along the way, Sun Quan saw that the vendors on the street were hurriedly cleaning up their stalls and closing their doors, as if the Wei army was about to enter Jianye City.

Running wildly, Sun Quan ascended the city gate after a while.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw countless soldiers of his own army, fleeing all the way along the river bank towards Jianye City.

The flag remains, and the armor is lost, which is clearly a great defeat and fleeing in fear.

"Is the quarrying still lost......" Sun Quan shook his head and sighed.

Sun Shangxiang beside him, but his pretty face was full of disbelief, and he exclaimed: "This Su Zhe, is it really so good?" ”

At this time, Zhou Yu had already rushed to the front of the city on horseback and shouted to open the city gate.

Sun Quan had to order the city gate to be opened and let thousands of remnants of the defeated army enter Jianye City.

Zhou Yu climbed to the top of the city, came to Sun Quan with a ashamed face, and arched his hand: "Yu is incompetent, he failed to hold the quarry, and he asked General Zhongmou to punish him." ”

A hint of resentment flashed in Sun Quanbi's eyes.

Of course, he wanted to punish Zhou Yu, and he also wanted to scold Zhou Yu severely, scolding him for being self-righteous, if he had followed his proposal and withdrew all the soldiers and horses into Jianye City, how could he have lost nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses in vain.

The resentment that came to his lips was forcibly swallowed by Sun Quan, and he had to squeeze out a smile, helped Zhou Yu up, and said with relief: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Gongjin don't blame himself too much, hurry up." ”

Only then did Zhou Yu straighten up.

"Brother Gongjin, why can't you even hold on to quarrying, aren't you the strongest commander in our Jiangdong?"

Sun Quan gave him face, Sun Shangxiang was straightforward, but he didn't give him face, and Zhou Yu, who asked, was embarrassed.

After coughing a few times, Zhou Yu defended: "There are too many soldiers and horses of the Su thieves, and there are a number of rebel generals such as Lu Mengling Cao to help, and they know our army well, so I will be found by them." ”

Sun Shangxiang suddenly burned his eyebrows with anger, and said hatefully: "Those damn traitors, if they bump into me, I will definitely kill them all." ”

Zhou Yu was in no mood to pay attention to Miss Sun's arrogance, and looked at Sun Quan: "General Zhongmou, for today's plan, we can only concentrate our existing forces and defend Jianye City, so that the Su thieves will be forced to return to Jingzhou by Liu Bei." ”

"So far, that's all it can be." Sun Quan sighed helplessly.

……

Three days later, Su Zhe, who had taken a break in quarrying, commanded an army of 70,000 land and water, marched all the way east, and arrived in the west of Jianye City.

In the early morning of the same day, the army arrived in Jianye, and Su Zhe ordered the army to go down to the north and west and south of Jianye, forming an encirclement of Jianye City.

The camp has been completed, and the Chinese army is in the king's account.

Su Zhe convened the military generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the construction industry.

"How many tough battles have been fought, Jianye City is finally in front of us, let's talk about it, how should we break the city." Su Zhe asked the generals.

"How else can it be broken, our morale is high, of course, we will immediately attack in an all-out way, and raze Jianye City to the ground in one go." The veteran Huang Zhong was the first to shout.

The rest of the generals were also enthusiastic and shouted generously.

It is no wonder that after a series of victories, the self-confidence of the generals has exploded to the extreme, and they no longer regard the defeat of the Jiangdong remnants in Jianye City.

What's more, the one who guards the city is still Sun Ce's second brother Sun Quan, who is not famous.

"You know Jianye City best, let's talk about it." Su Zhe looked at Lu Meng, Ling Cao and the other generals.

Ling Cao arched his hand and said: "King Wei, although our army has won many victories, if you want to easily capture Jianye, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Su Zhe nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

Ling Cao continued: "There is the danger of Xuanwu Lake in the east of Jianye City, Zhongshan Mountain as a barrier in the south, and the Yangtze River in the north. ”

"Therefore, that Sun Ce was also very far-sighted, and he mobilized manpower and material resources to build an outer city in addition to the main city west of Jianye as a barrier to the west gate."

"There are many mountain stones near Jianye, and most of the outer city walls in the west are made of mountain stones, which is extremely solid."

"Therefore, if we want to capture Jianye, we must first attack the outer city, and this outer city is so strong, the last general said that this battle is not easy to fight."

After listening to Ling Cao's explanation, the frenzied pride and fighting spirit in the big tent gradually fell silent.
