Sun Quan sat alone in the lobby, seeing that there were soldiers constantly coming in and out, he felt that there was no moment of peace, and he didn't sleep all night, until it was almost early morning, and the sound of cannons outside the city still did not stop, at this moment, the city lord's mansion of Chaisang was quite stable, but as he experienced before, it is estimated that this place will be conquered soon.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh deeply, and finally felt that he was not as good as his eldest brother Sun Ce, if the eldest brother had not been assassinated and seriously injured, it should be him or Zhou Yu who was facing the gunpowder army at this moment.

"Before the big war, why does my brother still drink?" Sun Shangxiang had already walked in as he spoke, and then snatched the wine jar from Sun Quan's hand and handed it to a subordinate.

Sun Quan saw that the wine in his hand was taken away, and he didn't have any extra words, just lying his whole body on the futon, only supporting his temples with one hand, and he looked completely decadent.

Sun Shangxiang could only sigh again when he saw Sun Quan like this, and said: "The contradiction between the military and Zhang Zhao's old officials is deepening day by day, and my brother should come forward at this time, otherwise if it continues like this, I am afraid that the preparation of heavy supplies will become more and more difficult in the future." ”

Sun Quan squinted his eyes at this time and replied: "One side is the main peace, one side is the main battle, the eldest brother was here before, so the caliber was unified, everyone was unanimous with the outside world, now the eldest brother is recuperating in Wu County, and the Cao Cao army on the north bank of Chibi has come overwhelmingly, and now the situation is even worse, the gunpowder army from Luoyang has already hit our doorstep, but we have no way at all."

It's not that I don't want to resist, it's that we have many unfavorable factors, and it is really very difficult to win this battle, especially this is not our base, most of our men are Huaisi soldiers, these people are now willing to follow our Sun family to resist the imperial court, which is very few, but once the war reaches a stalemate, or it is not good for us, I am afraid that it will be difficult for these people to be loyal.

Zhang Zhao's surrender does not mean that he has no integrity, he is also thinking about our Sun family, if there is no Luoyang variable in the north, I will definitely resist to the end, now I have seen those cannons and muskets you said, I don't dare to think about what kind of miserable situation will become in the future.

Yuan Yun led more than 30,000 horses, blocked outside the door at the moment, just shelling every day, but did not choose to attack the city, not that they could not take it, but they were still doing the thing of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, that is, hoping that Zhou Yu would retreat from Chibi, but if the Metropolitan Governor really led the troops back to defend, once Chibi fell, there would be no more precariousness to defend in the entire south, and what was waiting for us was destruction. ”

Sun Shangxiang listened to Sun Quan's words all the time before he frowned, and then said: "Zhang Zhao sent someone to send a letter, and the eldest brother has a word for him to convey on his behalf." ”

Sun Quan was stunned, since the eldest brother Sun Ce had something to say, then he directly sent someone to deliver the letter, why did he have to transfer it here to Zhang Zhao?

Seeing Sun Quan's doubts, Sun Shangxiang immediately explained: "If the eldest brother sends someone to say it in person, it is estimated that this sentence will soon be known to everyone, so he specially passed Zhang Zhao." ”

Sun Quan nodded and asked, "What does Big Brother have to say to me?" ”

Sun Shangxiang pondered for a moment, and then replied: "The eldest brother said, 'If you are recovering from the beginning, you will return to the west slowly, and you will not worry. He also said that all the things in the back are decided by you, the second brother, as for what the military thinks, and there is no need to think about it, our old Sun family has always been a word. ”

"Zhengfu is not defeated, slowly returning to the west, and there is nothing to worry about......" After Sun Quan repeated a few words, he was suddenly startled, and the whole person stood up, and then he eagerly asked: "Did the eldest brother say this sentence to the governor of Zhou Yu?" ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded and said: "In duplicate, the other copy has been sent to the Metropolitan Governor of Chibi, I think he has received it now, but what he will think about, we don't know." ”

"The eldest brother means that if the situation is not good, we will calmly surrender to the central government, so that we choose to surrender after resisting, according to Cao Cao's temper, we must be courteous to our Sun family, but this is still not enough, we must also prepare more chips."

When Sun Shangxiang heard Sun Quan say this, he immediately pointed outside the hall, and waited until a few new explosions came before he said: "Now there is such a batch of chips outside Chaisang City, so the second brother should not languish all day long, we should consider how to fight." ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan changed from a sitting position to a standing position again, then walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and finally sat down again, then frowned and said: "It seems that we not only have to hold on here, but also hold on for a few more days as much as possible, I only hope that Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu has already reorganized the army and is preparing to return."

As long as we annihilate these gunpowder armies, we can bargain with Cao Cao at the negotiating table, and it is best to capture Yuan Yun, so that even if we surrender, we can reap more benefits. ”

When Sun Shangxiang heard Sun Quan say this, her eyebrows furrowed again, and she muttered: "Yuan Yun is as cunning as a ghost, and it may not be easy to catch him, but if we can thwart these gunpowder troops and play the prestige of our Sun family, then we can earn some face from Cao Cao, which is also our best choice." ”

Sun Quan nodded again, and then glanced blankly at the sky outside the hall, which had begun to brighten up at this moment, and those artillery outside the city would reduce the frequency of firing during the day, and the flames burning near the city wall could finally be freed up to clean up.

"Send someone to Zhou Yu to send a flying pigeon to the Metropolitan Governor, and ask him what he thinks, if he is willing to abide by the eldest brother, we must take a good look at how to quickly eliminate these gunpowder troops outside Chaisang City." After Sun Quan finally gave the order, the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed, at least he had found a target now.

Burst!

After a gunshot, a black dot fell from the sky, and at this time a group of soldiers of the musket battalion began to cheer, and then they all stepped on their horses and galloped towards the place where the black dot fell.

The reason why these soldiers were so excited was because Yuan Yun gave them a very strange order, as long as they saw a bird around Chaisang, they must shoot it down, and they also specially opened an extra weight, no matter what kind of flying bird, one can be exchanged for a horseshoe gold.

For this order, the riflemen of the main battalion were all sent out, and at this moment, around the wall of Chaisang, almost every few steps you could see several people holding rifles, constantly observing the sky overhead.

Although there are very few birds in winter, one can be exchanged for a gold ingot, and a gold ingot is enough for an ordinary Luoyang person to live several fat years, so under this temptation, the soldiers of the rifle battalion have almost emptied their brains and tried all kinds of ways to shoot birds.

Yuan Yun was fiddling with his barbecue grill on the edge of the tent at the moment, and all kinds of wild birds that were constantly being sent in were all dressed up at the moment, and the temperature of the charcoal fire was just right, and as the grease was constantly squeezed out by the heat, there was an attractive fragrance around him.

Xiao Liu squatted to the side and watched his master busy there, and the hostess Liu Yiyi was still crying in the tent at the moment, so she almost climbed the stool and hanged herself, but this time it was indeed the head of the family Yuan Yun who was wrong, a broken bird can be exchanged for a horseshoe gold, this kind of ruined thing, it is estimated that no one in the world will do it.

Yuan Yun sent a roasted fat bird to Xiao Liu, and then said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, it will be tasteless when it's cold for a while." ”

Xiao Liu sighed, or took the roasted wild bird, after taking a bite, he found that the taste was really good, and then glanced at the lord Yuan Yun, who was grabbing a few well-dressed wild birds at the moment, and then walked lightly to the camp tent, after seeing this scene, Xiao Liu just wanted to quickly finish eating the wild bird in his hand, and then cover his ears, because after a while, Liu Yiyi's high-pitched cry was about to burst out again.

Yuan Yun walked into the camp lightly, Liu Yiyi was rolling on the bed with his pillow at the moment, and when he saw him come in, the decibel in his mouth immediately rose an octave, and the whole person began to get hysterical, like a tigress, glaring at Yuan Yun with beautiful eyes.

Yuan Yun smiled awkwardly, and then handed over a particularly well-roasted wild bird, but did not say anything, after seeing that Liu Yiyi took it, he quickly slipped to the side with an arrow, and sure enough, at the moment when he dodged, Liu Yiyi's other hand had already flown out of the pillow and narrowly escaped.

"Why are you so angry, it's just money, you just have to earn it if you don't have it." Yuan Yun said tentatively.

As a result, it was okay not to say this, but as soon as he spoke, Liu Yiyi dealt with the roast bird three times and two times, picked up the pillow on the ground in an instant, and began to chase Yuan Yun again.

Yuan Yun hurriedly took a few steps back, and then handed over a new roast bird from two positions, Liu Yiyi immediately stopped, and after taking the roast bird, he immediately said fiercely: "I'm thirsty." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and hurriedly poured a cup of tea, and at this time Liu Yiyi also sat down, but her face was still full of unhappiness.

Seeing that Liu Yiyi finally began to drink water quietly, Yuan Yun dared to take a step closer and said, "I spent money this time for military affairs, do you think I really want to eat wild birds, so I let the rifle battalion shoot birds?" ”

Liu Yiyi put down the teacup, pouted and said, "You are the head of the family, and how you spend the money is not something that my concubine can control, so you can do whatever you like." ”

Yuan Yun saw that Liu Yiyi was willing to talk to him, so it proved that the other party's anger had almost disappeared, so he hit the snake with the stick, and immediately continued: "Although we withdrew from Jingzhou this time, Yiyi can be regarded as digging three feet in Xiangyang, and even your trucks can't finish making money, people should learn to be content, and these are all war money, and if you take it without a way, it will inevitably be punished by God, so I will change Fang's scattered wealth, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for our family." ”

Liu Yiyi raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "When did Lang Jun believe these things, what are you unhappy about at home on weekdays, isn't the first thing you scold is the thief?" ”

Yuan Yun didn't mean that nonsense had no effect on Liu Yiyi, so he suddenly turned pale and said: "I asked the soldiers to shoot the birds, just to end the battle here as soon as possible, do you know what plan Kong Ming made, that is, after conquering Chaisang, he immediately began to loot around the boundaries of Yangzhou, think about it, when that time comes, how much war money will you make, let's start looting before Prime Minister Cao Cheng, the Sun family has been operating here for so many years, there must be a lot of good things, and you can't be fat." ”

When Liu Yiyi heard Yuan Yun say this, not only did her anger disappear, but she also instantly became energetic, and she could even see that her eyes were constantly flashing with bright light, and she looked like she was going to eat people.

Seeing that Liu Yiyi finally stopped pursuing the matter of spending money indiscriminately, Yuan Yun immediately decided to make up some more nonsense, but suddenly heard Xiaoliu report that a group of soldiers from the rifle battalion had actually shot down a carrier pigeon that flew out of Chaisang City.
