Chapter 776: People's hearts are clutched
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Jianye.
Some of the boring daylight was shining outside, Sun Quan sat in the main hall, looking at the bright sunlight reflected in the courtyard outside the door, put it on the hand of the desk, it was the information that was handed over recently, and after receiving the first two pieces of information, he fell into silence, and soon, he saw his cousin Sun Fu who came over, and after saluting, he did not sit down, and there was a smile on his face.
"I heard that Sun Shao and Qiao's are coming, and it just so happens that there are few people in this courtyard, so I asked the cooks to cook the meal, and recruited a few new maids to serve her mother and son....."
"Cousin will arrange it, I'll ......" Sun Quan rubbed his cheeks to make himself look more energetic, "...... I still have official business to do, and I can't pick up the wind for my brother and sister-in-law and nephew for the time being." β
During this period of time, the situation on the east and west sides can no longer be described as a rout, the Dantu naval army has all defected, and the Dong raid and other troops who attacked Guangling by land died and surrendered, which is almost half of his strength, but although the battle in Pengze in the west was lost, but fortunately, Lu Su, LΓΌ Meng, and Xu Sheng did not surrender, and most of the troops were preserved, and they were evacuating towards Lingyang and Jing County.
"Zhongmou, but it's a matter of war?"
Sun Fu is the second son of Sun Jian's eldest brother Sun Qiang, raised by Sun Ben since he was a child, and has been one of the old people who have been pacifying Jiangdong with Sun Ce. The words asked at this time are also the most qualified people to call Sun Quan Zhongmou like this.
"Dantu and Peng Ze are lost, but cousin still don't ask too much, and greet my brother and sister-in-law well." Sun Quan stood up and smiled to himself: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and Quan will never easily give up his father's and brother's inheritance to the thief who steals the country." β
That Sun Fu nodded and laughed too: "Haha! Joyfully! Zhong Mou is a bit like your brother, if he is still here, he should be happy to see you like this, then go out first for his brother, if the war is tight, you might as well let me go up too, the Sun family has today, it is all the Sun family who exchanged their lives with a knife and a gun, how can it be lost! β
Sun Quan sent the other party away with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold from beginning to end, especially when he heard that he was like Sun Ce, he showed a chill to the bone.
"I'm not as good as you when it comes to fighting with soldiers, but when it comes to governing Jiangdong, your Sun Ce is just a reckless man, you will kill this Jiangdong into a river of blood, pat your ass and go to the west, leaving a mess, and you don't rely on my Sun Quan to stabilize it?" He walked out of the door slowly, it was a stinging sunshine, and only he could hear the words sounding: "Come back, come back..... one mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, one country is difficult to have two kings, if you come back, what will I do?" Retreat again? Wouldn't it become a laughing stock for others! β
"...... didn't do it even if it was a brother."
He looked at the sky, the birds crossed the flying track, landed on the branches, the white clouds flowed in the sun, and on the invisible ground in the west, on the bank of the river, thousands of people and war horses poured onto the beachhead and quickly passed through the land east of the river. For all those standing on this land at this moment, time is of the essence.
LΓΌ Meng and Xu Sheng organized a counterattack thirty miles outside Lingyang City, Lu Su strengthened the city wall in the city, organized the young and strong to defend the city, and the conscription order was not long after it was issued, and the Western barbarians who spread wildly did not consider the formation at all, and killed them hard, in the stalemate of the fighting, the follow-up landing of Zhao Yun's department, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue led the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry quickly reinforced over, and rushed to the battlefield here, a stick of incense, 15,000 Jiangdong soldiers were penetrated, and continued to approach Lingyang.
On the seventh day of the first month of May, Jingzhou 70,000 sailors cleared the chain of the Suojiang River, landed on the other side of Zongyang, the main force of the north advanced towards Jing County, Lu Su received a battle report two days later, and immediately made a plan to break through, once Jing County was lost, their back road was completely blocked, the same day of the breakthrough, the Guangling Pavilion naval army that landed in the east of Dantu, and the tiger and leopard cavalry launched an attack on Qu'a, less than half a day, the city fell.
On May 20, when the summer cicadas had begun to chirp and the scorching sun shone on the earth, fast horses from the east and west directions never stopped entering and leaving Jianye, and more war reports came one after another, falling into the hands of Sun Quan and the wise men behind him.
Since Qu'a was broken, Xiahou Yuan led a light cavalry to make a long-distance detour, rushing to Jiangcheng two hundred miles away, and the Guangling Pavilion Navy and Xuzhou soldiers and horses attacked Jurong and Hushu! To the west, Lingyang was broken, and Lu Meng and Xu Sheng were defeated! Lingyang was surrounded, and Lusu broke through! On May 15, the soldiers and horses of the Jin State completed the siege of Danyang County, and one day, the city was broken, Xu Sheng was captured, and he was killed.
After the 15th, nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses completed the whole team, and the front spread to the eastern half of the Jiangdong, Wuhu, Liyang, and Zhongjiang saw the Jin troops passing through the boundary and forming a U-shaped posture to sweep Jianye.
Sun Quan in the city, as well as Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Luo Tong, Xue Zong, Yan Zhen, Zhuge Jin, Yu Chuan and other think tanks under his command have all fallen silent one after another, and there is no way to solve such a situation in many cases, and even if there is, they will not say it.
"You used to be full of scheming, why don't you speak one by one now-"
Tong Jue slammed on the ground, Sun Quan stood up and glared at the ministers who were silent, and his purple hair trembled angrily, "You guys are talking, the enemy has hit the doorstep, my generals are on the verge of defection, or die in battle, and you are standing here, but you don't say a word that you want to tie me up and surrender?!" β
The people's eyelids jumped, and someone stood up.
"The lord said cautiously, we are all Jiangdong people, so we naturally have to think about Jiangdong."
As soon as Yu Tuo's words fell, Sun Quanqiang drew his sword and cut off the corner of the case, and roared: "Thinking about Jiangdong, that is, not thinking about me, are you in a hurry to protect the family?!" Get the hell out of hereβ"
"The ministers are leaving."
Everyone politely bowed their hands and left, Gu Yong walked out a short distance with a group of advisers, looked back at the main hall over there, and saw Sun Quan sitting on the ground in despair, quite unbearable. Zhuge Jin shook his head and pulled him away, and said in a low voice: "The 300,000 army has landed in Jiangdong, and the danger of the Yangtze River has been lost. What's more, my brother Zhuge Liang asked someone to send a letter over......."
".....I also received a letter from Gongjin." Zhang Zhao, who was walking in front, opened his eyes and sighed: "Actually, when spring dawned, I knew that Gongjin and Bo Fu were not dead, but they just held back and waited for today." β
Gu Yong opened his mouth: "You ..... you..... alas......"
"I don't want to wait, since I can't support Sun Quan, it is not wise to take a step back and protect the family." Luo Tong, Xue Zong, Yan Xuan, and Yu Zhuan are all people with families and businesses, and they naturally don't want to put the lives of the whole clan into such a dangerous situation, not to mention that the Lu family, which is the same family as them, has already invested in the Jin Dynasty.
At the same time, Tai Shici and Cheng Pu joined Han Dang's army to the north and set up a position forty miles east of Jianye City, not to meet the battle, but to welcome the people who had been preached dead.
Ten thousand people gathered on the field, the army was neat, Tai Shici, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Han Zong, Chen Wu were lined up in Yuanmen in military uniforms, and the soldiers behind them also heard the purpose of the assembly, and stood there with surprise and excitement, and soon after, they saw a team of soldiers and horses coming from the north from a distance, the leader was tall, holding a heavy gun, and his angular face revealed indescribable fortitude and majesty, and the cloak was lifted, jumped off the war horse, and strode towards this side.
"Bo Fu ....."
Tai Shici's eyes were wet and red and overflowed with water stains, and the voices of the two veterans next to him, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, choked up, and in the next second, he half-knelt and arched his hand: "I'll wait to see the lord-"
Boom in unison.
The figures of the soldiers knelt down with their weapons on their knees, and their voices resounded through the sky: "-Meet the lord!" β
"Get up, where did Jiangdong Erlang get so many tears!" Sun Ce helped Cheng and Han up, holding the hands of one of them, and tears actually fell from his eyes, "Ce is back, the two generals should be happy." β
"Yes..... yes..... should be happy." Cheng Pu wiped the corners of his eyes, put the Iron Spine Snake Spear King in his hand on the ground, and shouted to the back: "Give Ben a laugh!" β
The blackened soldier burst out laughing.
Sun Ce turned his face with a smile, looked at Tai Shici, and nodded at him: "Ziyi, thank you for your hard work." Pass down the order, let the brothers pick up their weapons, follow me to Jianye, let Sun Quan take a good look, let the soldiers in the city take a good look, I, Sun Ce, are still alive! β
"Yes!"
"That's right! He deceived us so hard. β
"The death of General Huang also has something to do with him, ask him for an explanation-"
Countless voices responded, and thousands of people boiled, picked up their weapons to keep the array and began to advance in the direction of the city. In this moment, the fate of many people changed in the choice.......
*********
Jianye City, a carriage after a long journey finally stopped at Sun's Mansion, under the eaves, a maid with heavy makeup to cover her face stayed on the mother and son who came in, and after a while, she lowered her head and walked into the main hall with tea.
