Chapter 174: Jiangdong Crisis, Sun Ce decides

Compared with Sun Quan, he can't afford to be sick, but Sun Ce, as the eldest brother, still has some decisions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Now he is taking advantage of the strength of a battle to start planning for the future retreat, after all, there are only these descendants left in the Jiangdong Sun clan, and once defeated, they will be wiped out. So now he is prepared for the worst, and with some connections with the natives overseas in Nanyang, he has already arranged a retreat for the transfer.

However, at present, he is not completely without a chance of winning, as long as Zhou Yu can defeat Liu Xuewu's army, with his Jiangdong hard work for so many years, it is impossible for each party to take one side. It's a pity that Zhou Yu can be regarded as giving it a go now, life and death are up to heaven. After holding on for several months, more than half of Jiangdong's 60,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, and in the face of the continuous army of Liu Xuewu, Zhou Yu didn't know that he could hold out for too long at this time, and he could probably only hold on for one day!

But just when the situation was good, an unexpected situation appeared, and Changsha Lu Xun, who had been lurking, not only repelled the attacking Yangzhou army. Even the whole army attacked, gave up Changsha to counterattack Jingzhou, and came to besiege Wei to save Zhao.

However, this sudden change did not catch Liu Xuewu off guard, this is not that time, the current Jingzhou soldiers are strong and strong, and the armies transferred from all the northern continents and counties are gathered here. Although Lu Xun's move at this time was beyond Liu Xuewu's expectations, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Jingzhou, what is this not looking for death? Of course, Liu Xuewu was not polite to him, and with a wave of his hand, his eldest son Liu Yang led an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress. Let the second son take over Changsha with an army of 100,000, and once again attack from behind, flanking Lu Xun.

Because in Liu Xuewu's expectations, Jiangdong's troops were only more than 100,000. After many civil strife, there have been foreign wars, and most of the vitality of the nine counties in Jiangdong has been consumed. Moreover, the problem of Sun Ce's previous reform policy also offended the family clan in Jiangdong, and how many people in Jiangdong are in Sun Ce's heart now, it is estimated that it is also very suspenseful. You must know that the ancient social economy and labor were established because of the existence of family clans, and how many emperors and monarchs of all dynasties had to compromise with these family clans in the face of interests, and how many dynasty changes were also linked to these family clans. Since ancient times, it has been handed down to the present, a thousand-year-old family, a 10,000-year-old clan, and that is also the foundation of the people in the world. Even Liu Xuewu, who came from modern times, only offended these forces too much on the surface, not to mention that this time Sun Ce offended the entire Jiangdong clan one by one. The head of the Jiangdong family who was forced to death by Sun Ce, there are still few clan chiefs? Therefore, even if Liu Xuewu is unpopular with Sun Ce, who was there first, even if he is recruited temporarily, he will not get much soldiers.

In addition, the person in power in Jiangdong is not Sun Ce, at least he is still lacking in dealing with the issue of his younger brother Sun Quan. And this little deficiency is fundamentally fatal. At a time when the situation is turbulent and the people's hearts are unstable, one mountain and two tigers, the outcome can be imagined. Even if Sun Ce and Sun Quan get along with each other, how can they run in so easily.

Speaking of a single person, let's talk about military power. How to say, you Dongwu also has more than 100,000 troops, but now that they are on the battlefield, there are less than 100,000 who really play a role. There are more people like Lu Xun who watch the fire from across the strait, watch the battle from the wall, and hold heavy soldiers in their right hands. But then again, even if there is a person like Lu Xun, it has his purpose. But because each is its master, the news is blocked, and they fight openly and secretly. Indirectly missed the best opportunity to fight, and even if you know it now, you can't regret it.

In the following months, news came one after another to Jiangdong, and now that the coastal areas had fallen, Lu Su fled with thousands of remnants of his army with the seriously ill Sun Quan, while the general LΓΌ Meng died of his wounds on the way. Later, it was reported that Lu Xun Jingzhou was defeated and had no choice but to commit suicide. In a day, several pieces of news were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Sun Ce's ears rang brightly, and his eyes were dizzy.

I had to summon my subordinates, and asked hurriedly: "Is there any news from the governor of the riverside Zhou?" ”

When the confirmation was completed, knowing that Zhou Yu's side was still in a stalemate with Liu Xuewu and had not yet been defeated, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He gathered all the generals and ministers around him overnight, and secretly sent people to escort his younger brother Sun Quan, mother and sister Sun Shangxiang overseas. And he launched his troops without worry, and vowed to fight Liu Xuewu to the death, which made those strategists who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Prior to this, most of these people had been pro-capitulation factions. Now that the lord Sun Ce has made such a decisive decision, once the army is defeated, it is estimated that they will not end well as courtiers. Some simply turned their hearts sideways, and took advantage of Sun Ce to lead the troops away, and secretly contacted Zhao Yun, who had already occupied the coast. This made Zhao Yun's cavalry and those sailors rampant in the hinterland of Jiangdong, and when Sun Ce and others came to their senses, most of Jiangdong was under the banner of Yiqi.

Zhou Yu, who was fighting a bloody battle by the river, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Sun Ce coming with his troops. When he learned the truth of the matter, he couldn't help shouting at Sun Ce regardless of his identity: "Bo Fu, you're really confused." ”

At this moment, Sun Ce did not fight back, but said with a wry smile: "Brother Gongjin, after so many years, how depressed my heart is, don't others understand, don't you know?" ”

"But Bo Fu, if you act like this, if you are a little careless, you will never recover, have you really thought it through?" Zhou Yu shook his head and asked unwillingly.

"Haha, what joy is life, and what is the pain of death. If it is not broken, it will not stand, and it will stand after it is broken. This time, I have made up my mind, and I will fight to the death with all I have. If you become a comeback, you will lose and leave a name for eternity, and my grandson wants to compete with the overlord. Sun Ce laughed at the sky on the edge of the Yangtze River.

As an old partner, old buddy, and good brother for more than ten years, Zhou Yu understands at this moment that Sun Ce has made up his mind. did not continue to dissuade, to say that this Zhou Yu really has real skills, with the 60,000 foot soldiers under his command, he stubbornly resisted the attack of more than 100,000 Liu Xuewu's elite army. Now although Liu Xuewu has more than 100,000 troops crossing the Yangtze River, he still can't hold on to it, so it can be said that Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's biggest reliance.

And now Liu Xuewu, who is almost as stable as Mount Tai, is not busy, instead of launching a crazy attack on Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, he let his men and horses speed up the recovery of Jiangdong territory and gradually get closer to the encirclement. Under such a strategy, hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the 40,000 army corps under Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. First, they cut off their food routes, then began to control water sources, and on the other hand, they sent people to persuade them to surrender. And the candidate for this persuasion is no one more suitable than Liu Zhang. Now that the two armies are facing each other, the battle situation is extremely clear, if there is no miracle, it is only a matter of time before Liu Xuewu wins. So I didn't worry that they would control Liu Zhang to threaten, but Liu Xuewu hoped that Sun Ce and them would jump over the wall in a hurry. Of course, this is not to ignore Liu Zhang's life and death, but to calculate accurately, Sun Ce's weaknesses, family and friendship, and especially righteousness. (To be continued.) )
