Fa Zhengken made a military order and handed over the post of chief general to Zhou Yu.

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu: "What does Gong Jin think?" ”

"I thought I could give it a try." Zhou Yu got up and said to Sun Quan: "Cao Zirong led the troops and horses to Luoyang, the area around Shouchun must be empty, our army took the opportunity to go, once Shouchun was taken, he could control his family and force him to return Jiangdong." ”

Looking at Zhou Yu hesitantly, Sun Quan asked, "Gong Jin thinks we can offend Cao Zirong?"

"Even if he doesn't offend Cao Zirong, will he stay in Jiaozhou?" Zhou Yu said: "Cao Zi's heart is in the world, and if he wins Luoyang, he will definitely try to hand over the state." When he arrives with his army, we will deal with it, but it will be too late! ”

Sun Quan nodded with an ugly face.

At the beginning of the Battle of Chibi, he still remembers it vividly.

Jiangdong made all preparations and deployed defenses along the Yangtze River, but was finally defeated by the Cao army.

The day Cao Shuo led his army across the Yangtze River, Sun Quan will never forget.

He always believed that it was an extremely serious mistake to be an enemy of Cao Shuo in the first place.

If he can still be allowed to go back to the past, Sun Quan may choose to surrender to the Cao family.

In this way, although it is impossible to have a day of being the emperor, it will not occupy a corner of Jiaozhou and be anxious all day long.

"Your Majesty." Sun Quan didn't respond, and Zhou Yu said: "Just now I said that I would serve Cao Zirong, which is nothing more than a test of filial piety. Since Liu Xuande is determined to fight to the death with Cao Zirong, how can we in Dongwu fall behind? War, perhaps invincible, and surely perish! ”

Zhou Yu said so much, Sun Quan finally nodded: "Gongjin is right, just follow you." ”

With Sun Quan's approval, Zhou Yu asked Fa Zheng: "I don't know when Xiaozhi will send troops, and where will the army be drawn from?" ”

"When I return to Yizhou, I will ask Your Majesty to send troops." Fa Zheng replied: "Our army will march from Qishan and make a detour to Shouchun. ”

"Xiaozhi led the army from Qishan, and I led the soldiers and horses to attack Shouchun along the line of Anhui City through Jingzhou." Zhou Yu said: "The two soldiers and horses went out together, even if one was discovered by Cao Zirong's department, the other team could make adjustments in time. In any case, we have to break Shouchun this time. Without Shouchun, Cao Zirong is a goshawk without wings, no matter how sharp his claws are, he can't do anything to us! ”

"What Gong Jin said!" Fa Zheng replied, and then said: "I will return to Chengdu and present the meaning of Dongwu to Your Majesty." ”

"I will arrange manpower and keep an eye on Xuandegong's deployment at all times." Zhou Yu said: "Once the army of Xuande Gong is opened, our army will also go on the expedition. ”

"Gong Jin rest assured, this battle is a matter of survival, and Your Majesty will never take it lightly!" Fa Zheng then gave a big salute to Sun Quan: "I'll retire first!" ”

After sending Fa Zheng out, Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu with hesitation on his face: "Does Gong Jin really believe in Liu Xuande?" ”

"To be honest, I don't believe him." Zhou Yu shook his head: "But we don't have any choice at all, if we don't unite with Liu Xuande, once Cao Zirong frees up his hand, we will definitely be destroyed by him in the future." However, with Liu Xuande, I always feel unsafe. After all, Liu Xuande is good at changing orders and changing orders, and he is really not a good person. ”

"I'm also worried about Liu Xuande's personality." Sun Quan frowned and said, "For the sake of his own interests, there is nothing he can't do." Once our army falls into the Shouchun battlefield, it is almost impossible to count on him to rush to help! ”

"Your Majesty's understanding of Liu Xuande is very thorough." Zhou Yu replied: "It's just that this battle is about survival, even if we don't believe him, we can only choose to believe it." ”

"Is there another possibility?" Sun Quan hesitated and said: "We simply serve Cao Zirong, the overall situation of the world has been achieved, and it is impossible to achieve anything by relying on Jiaozhou alone." If you vote for him, you may be able to keep Jiaozhou......"

"To serve Cao Zirong, Jiaozhou must have appointed another official to come." Zhou Yu said: "He will never leave His Majesty here, and when His Majesty goes to Shouchun or Luoyang, he will look up to people all day long." Every day I wake up, I have to worry that I will be harmed. Is that really what His Majesty wants? ”

was asked by Zhou Yu like this, and Sun Quan suddenly didn't know what to say.

He frowned, and after a moment he let out a long sigh: "No matter what I choose, I seem to be a dead end." Now that Gongjin has made a decision, it's up to you to dispose of! ”

When making this decision, Sun Quan's heart was extremely helpless.

He didn't want to be an enemy of Cao Shuo.

However, the overall situation has become like this, after Cao Shuo captures Luoyang, the next step must be to send troops to Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou is no longer as strong as Jiangdong at the beginning.

With this place, if you want to stop the advance of Cao Shuo's army, there is no possibility at all!

War, most of them will die!

If you don't fight, you will definitely die!

There are very few choices in front of Sun Quan, so few that he has no chance of a second suitable choice!

Fa Zheng left Jiaozhou and galloped back to Chengdu all the way.

And Zhou Yu got Sun Quan's military order, and he was also gathering soldiers in full swing, ready to march to Shouchun at any time.

At this time, Cao Shuo had already entered Luoyang City.

As the army entered Luoyang, Cao Shuo looked at both sides of the street.

The streets were deserted, and not even half of the people could see them.

He asked Guo Jia beside him, "Fengxiao, Luoyang has always been so deserted?" ”

"Back then, I joined Cao Gong and have always been in Xudu." Guo Jia replied: "Later, I followed Cao Gong to Yecheng, and then I went to Shouchun with the lord, so I am really not familiar with Luoyang!" ”

Cao Shuo nodded.

Extrapolating Guo Jia's early experience, he really didn't stay in Luoyang for too long, and it was impossible for him to be familiar with this place.

If you want to understand the root cause of Luoyang's desertion, the best way is to ask Yang Xiu, who came to greet him.

"Dezu has been coming to Luoyang for a long time, has it been so deserted here?" Cao Shuo looked at Yang Xiu and asked him.

"Back to my lord!" Yang Xiu replied: "Luoyang, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, although it was burned clean by Dong Zhuo, after nearly two years of reconstruction, many people have migrated back, and the market was busy in the past, and it was not as deserted as it is today. ”

"If it shouldn't be so deserted, why haven't I seen even a single citizen?" Looking at the closed doors of the shops on the side of the road, Cao Shuo asked.

"The lord led the army into the city, and the people were afraid of provoking the fire, so of course they did not dare to open the door." Yang Xiu replied: "As long as the lord promises not to commit any offense against the people, they should soon open the door and welcome the lord to seize Luoyang!" ”

"The people are really realistic!" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Although Cao Zihuan is ruthless, I really don't believe that he will be too exploitative of the people!" 2k reading network
