The Dantu were attacked, and the city was broken in a blink of an eye, but the Jiangdong soldiers also broke out the willfulness of the Jiangnan people under the severe situation of survival, and began to fight with Cao Wei's army in the streets, fighting house by house, alley by alley, and repeatedly fighting to the death, they had a belief in their hearts, that is, the lord would never give up the Dantu, and the lord had formed a powerful east aid group, and they might be coming in the starry night.

Cheng Pu looked forward to the rescue of Huang Gai and Han Dang, two old brothers, day and night, but Huang Gai and Han Dang's East Aid Group couldn't come.

Huang Gai Handang was ordered to collect almost all the troops of Danyang and Huiji County, and once again cobbled together an army of 200,000 to prepare to reinforce Cheng Pu of Dantu, and was confident that Cao Wei would be defeated in Dantu.

Just when the two of them were full of confidence, an order from Sun Quan came to his hands - Liu Bei dispatched 100,000 infantry, with Zhuge Liang as the commander and Huang Zhong and Ma Jian as the general, and suddenly appeared in Liyang, only one hundred and fifty miles away from Jianye, if you take the waterway, you can come to the city in one day.

Now Dantu is no longer important, but the most important thing is to build the base camp.

When Huang Zhong received this order, the whole person completely collapsed in his seat, and he felt completely finished.

Liu Bei's navy army had 50,000 people, but under the full force of the water division of the governor of Lusu, it was difficult for him to go down the river. It seems that the entire Liyang front has been stabilized.

But this stability can only be achieved when neither side has increased its forces, and as soon as one side increases at all, then this balance is immediately broken.

In fact, Lu Peng's reinforcement Sun Miao's sailor has already arrived in Jianye, which is a formidable force, and they alone have 30,000 sailor soldiers.

However, there is a huge disagreement over the use of this force.

One faction believed that Sun Miao's sailors should be transferred westward, up the river, to strengthen the strength of Lu Su, and to break Liu Bei's sailors first, so as to relieve the danger in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The 50,000 Liu Bei naval army in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River did put tremendous pressure on Jianye, like a huge sword hanging over everyone's heads. As long as Lu Su can't hold on, then Liu Bei's sailors can go down the river and directly attack Jianye.

One faction held an opposing opinion, they believed that this support army should be assigned to Dantu, cut off the Yangtze River, completely cut off the men and horses south of the Cao Wei Jiangnan here, and then gather the surrounding army to completely annihilate him, so that the Cao Wei group would be completely solved.

The two sides have their own opinions and have their own reasons, and Sun Quan is also difficult to make a decision for a while, so he asks Ji Lusu.

Lu Su analyzed with Sun Quan in the secret room: "Cao Wei is ruined this time, and when people reach a desperate situation, they will definitely burst out with the heart of death, so it is unrealistic to turn the tide of the battle in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River just by relying on Sun Miao's 30,000 naval army." ”

"Then do you just let Cao Wei continue to migrate people to the land south of my river? Could it be that I just watched Cao Wei gain a foothold in my Jiangnan? If he occupies Wu County, then my area will be greatly reduced, and my strength will be weakened again. ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if we lose the east corner and harvest the Sangyu, as long as we hold on for a while and mobilize Liu Bei's Jingzhou military horses, then we can not only recover Jiujiang Lujiang, but also directly occupy Jingzhou. ”

Sun Chuan fell silent.

Seeing that Sun Quan was still hesitating, Lu Su persuaded in a low voice: "Lord, now that it has reached the critical time of life and death, the strong man's move to break his wrist can resolve the current crisis, even if he loses Wu Jun to Cao Wei, it is just a place with a big palm, what can he do?" And as long as we instigate Baiyue in the south and constantly harass him, Cao Wei will be even more difficult to stabilize, and throughout we are always pressed in the south of the Yangtze River, unable to achieve the goals we set at the beginning, the reason is that our army is not good, and as long as we take Jingzhou, not only greatly weaken Liu Bei's strength, but also in Jingzhou, form our real road army, when the time comes, just like that tiger and wolf army in hand, to the north and east can compete for hegemony in the world, even if we return to Wu County, Cao Wei will not be our opponent either. ”

Then give a deep salute: "Between the trade-offs, please also ask the Lord to make a clear decision." ”

Sun Quan fell into a deep depression and pain.

Wu County is the place where his father and brother started, and it is indeed a pity to lose it.

But what Lu Su said is also very correct, the reason why he was pressed by other forces in the south of the Yangtze River can only be a region, the reason is that his army is only suitable for water warfare, not suitable for land warfare, the last time Lu Su Northern Expedition, 150,000 troops, easily wiped out by Cao Cao's tens of thousands of horses, not that Lu Su is incompetent, but his own army is indeed too low in combat effectiveness, southerners in height and physical strength, can not be compared with northerners, not to mention the fierce character of people in the northern Central Plains, nor is it comparable to the weak character that was nurtured by the smoke and rain of the south.

If you want to show your ambitions, you really need a strong army, and the source of this army must be northerners.

On the one hand, it is the flesh of the heart, on the other hand, it is the ambition, on the other hand, it is a real loss, and on the other hand, it is an ethereal goal, how can this not make people in a dilemma?

He waved his hand lightly and said to Lu Su: "I have written down what Mr. said, thank you, please let me think about it carefully." ”

Lu Su sighed, but he also knew how important this trade-off was, it didn't matter if he lost a piece of Wu County, the terrible thing was that Cao Wei might gain a foothold there, and eventually become a confidant of Eastern Wu, which really needed to be carefully weighed.

Sun Quan closed the door and thought about weighing day and night in his mansion, but Lu Su did not stop his steps here.

He began to order Huang Gai Handang to recruit all the soldiers of Danyang Huiji County to form an army of 200,000, claiming to reinforce Dantu, but he did not move, which made the outside world begin to have constant speculation. I don't understand what Lu Su means, whether he is afraid that it will be unfavorable to reinforce the Dantu and lose this last huge force, or whether he is ready to transfer this army into Jianye and finally defend Jianye.

And Sun Miao's sailors, who came to help from a long distance, didn't even assign tasks, so they were moored at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Jianye, and they were provided with delicious food and drink every day, but they were left with nothing to do.

Sun Miao and Fa Zheng have done their duty as bystanders, if you don't assign me tasks, I will definitely not talk nonsense, so in addition to continuing to train my own soldiers, there is no action every day, so in Jianye, there is a strange and stable situation.
