Pan Zhang took his recuperated soldiers and directly rushed through Lei Xu's defense line.

After Lei Xu chased to Wuhu, it was already dawn. His men had fought all night and were exhausted. If it weren't for Zhang Yi's strong military drill code that specifically emphasized endurance training, they might not even be able to hold weapons.

Pan Zhang originally thought that he could defeat Lei Xu, but he didn't expect that Lei Xu's subordinates still had a certain amount of combat effectiveness, and he couldn't defeat Lei Xu's troops in a short period of time. So Pan Zhang changed his attention and chose to break through. He needed to return to Dantu and report back to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan inherited more than 30,000 soldiers from Sun Ce, plus 50,000 soldiers recruited this year. But the counties need more than 10,000 to defend, Tai Shici and Cheng Pu lost more than 10,000 after failure, Zhou Yu's reinforcements this time are also nearly 10,000 (including the Wanling defenders), Sun Quan can now control only more than 10,000 troops, and there are five or six thousand of them are naval troops.

Moreover, the generals under him who can fight are now only veterans Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Zhu Zhi and others, and those who can fight the most are basically killed.

Especially Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's death left him at a loss. When his brother was dying, he once told him, "If you don't decide about internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao, and ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide about foreign affairs." ”

Now is the time when foreign affairs are undecided, but Zhou Yu is dead, which makes Sun Quan feel desperate, what should he do?

In the lobby, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Zhu Zhi, Lu Fan, Hu Zong, Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang and others were all looking at Sun Quan, and Sun Quan summoned them as soon as he received the news of Zhou Yu's death.

"What should it be like now?" Sun Quan looked down and asked a little stupidly.

Huang Gai immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord, for the sake of today's plan, it is advisable to retreat to Huiji, unite Shanyue, and think that it will protect itself." And the logistics training soldiers, waiting for the day, and then trying to make a comeback. ”

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Huang Gong, do I still have a time to make a comeback?" ”

Huang Gai replied: "Zhang Yi betrayed Cao Gong, Cao Gong will definitely be angry, but after pacifying the north, he will definitely go south, and then we will have the opportunity to make a comeback?" ”

Sun Quan was not a child, and immediately heard the flaw in Huang Gai's words, "If Gong Cao doesn't go south, won't we have no chance?" ”

Huang Gai couldn't answer.

Sun Quan shook his head, Huang Gai's opinion could not be adopted, he was a hardliner and would only choose to fight to the end. He looked at Zhang Zhao: "Mr. Zibu, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Zhao asked: "Of the six counties of Yangzhou, Zhang Yi now occupies four of them, his military strength is several times that of the lord, and there are countless fierce generals under his command, and the general trend of occupying Jiangdong has been achieved." ”

"Why did Zhang Zibu raise the anger of others and destroy his prestige?" Huang Gai asked dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Zhao was not angry, but asked: "General Huang, what are you asking yourself about General Taishi and General Han?" What is the decision-making of Cheng Gong and Zhou Gongjin? ”

Huang Gai wanted to say that he was better than them, but he really couldn't say it. Of the four people mentioned by Zhang Zhao, he is at most comparable to Han Dang, and he really can't compare with the other three.

Zhang Zhao continued: "Cheng Gong and Zhou Gongjin are still defeated and died, and if we want to fight against Zhang Yi, it is difficult to climb to the sky. ”

Zhu Zhi said at this time: "When the two armies face each other, they pay attention to the right time, the right place and the right people, the right place and the right people, and the right time is uncontrollable. Victory or defeat is unknown. How does Mr. Zibu know that we are going to lose? ”

Zhang Zhaoyan said: "Zhang Yi captured Wanling, he will definitely capture Wu County to the east, and Zhang Yi's army can easily capture Wu County, cut off the road to Huiji, and prevent reinforcements from coming for reinforcements." At that time, we will only rely on the northern part of Wu County, and we can only feed thousands of people, how can we resist the attack of tens of thousands of people? ”

After Sun Quan heard this, he was also a little frustrated, "What should I do?" ”

Zhang Zhao said: "For today's plan, the lord should go north to Guangling and surrender to the imperial court, so as to protect the foundation of the Sun family." ”

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao in surprise: "Defect to Cao Cao? ”

Zhang Zhao shook his head, "It's not Cao Gong, it's the imperial court." ”

"Is there no other way to go?" Sun Quan was very unwilling.

At this time, Pan Zhang walked out tremblingly and said, "Lord Qi, the governor has left a will. ”

Sun Quan's eyes immediately widened, and he was immediately ecstatic: "What is Gong Jin's will?" ”

Pan Zhang was a little afraid to say it, but everyone else was waiting for his next step, and they all looked at him, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Du Du said that the lord can choose two paths." One is to go north to defect to the imperial court, and the other is to surrender to Zhang Yi. ”

"Surrender Zhang Yi?" Huang Gai asked angrily, "How many of us did Zhang Yi kill?" There is a deep enmity with us, how can you surrender Zhang Yi? ”

Zhu Zhi said at this time: "The two armies are fighting, life and death are up to heaven, how can you lose your mind because of this? I think it might be better to surrender Zhang Yi. ”

Sun Quan was puzzled, "Why?" ”

Zhu Zhi said: "Zhang Yi is a man of grace, and his generous burials are proof of this. Its pre-occupation of Jiangdong will definitely buy people's hearts, and the lord will surrender, so that his life can be guaranteed. In order to appease Jiangdong, Zhang Yi can ensure that the lord is rich and worry-free. Zhang Yi has not yet married a wife, if the lord is willing, he can be allowed to re-ascend to a high position or unknown? And Cao Cao is a cruel person, he kills Bian Rang, kills Lu Bu, slaughters Xuzhou, if the lord goes north, he is afraid of his life. ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he had already ascended to a high position of power, and if he could regain his rights, of course it would be better.

Lu Fan said at this time: "No matter who the lord votes on, it is better to be a rich man." ”

Sun Quan was disgusted for a while, he had always had some opinions about Lu Fan. Back then, Lü Fan was in charge of the finances for Sun Ce, and Sun Quan once asked Lü Fan for personal matters, but Lü Fan needed Sun Ce's permission to give it. For this matter, Sun Quan has always had opinions about Lu Fan. Of course, according to historical records, when Sun Quan himself was in power, he knew the importance of loyalty to his duties and reused Lu Fan, but not yet.

Zhang Zhao said at this time: "Zhang Yi can't vote, he deceives the world and steals his name, and he is definitely not the master." ”

Sun Quan didn't know who to listen to, Huang Gai advocated going south, but he didn't want to go to the wilderness. The remaining two opinions are both to persuade him to surrender, but the object of surrender is different! One is Cao Cao, the other is Zhang Yi, one is cunning and cunning, and the other is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, it seems that he should choose Zhang Yi more.

But in the opinion of the two people, he is more optimistic about Zhang Zhao, after all, Zhang Zhao is more capable and famous than Zhu Zhi.

But he didn't think about it, his subordinates have now begun to advocate his surrender, what else can he rely on to defeat Zhang Yi? If he doesn't surrender, he's dead.
