Chapter 1 - The Besieged Lujiang River

In the second year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, on the wall of Shu County, where Lujiang County was governed, Lu Kang, who was the Taishou of Lujiang, stared out of the city, revealing a trace of worry in his eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The cold rain fell on Lu Kang's body, washing away the blood on the armor.

"Lord Taishou, please go home!"

Lu Kang listened to the voice coming from behind him and shook his head: "I can't go back, who knows if Sun Ce's traitor will take advantage of the heavy rain to attack?" ”

"But Lord Taishou, your body won't be able to stand it!"

As the words sounded, the soldiers defending the city knelt down to Lu Kang's figure.

Turning around and looking at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, Lu Kang had a trace of guilt in his eyes.

These soldiers all got the news when Sun Ce led the army to besiege Lujiang in the first year of Xingping, gave up their original vacation, and took advantage of the night to climb the city wall and come back to help defend the city.

However, after nearly two years of defending the city, less than half of the original ones have survived.

Even the soldiers who survived were now wounded, and the armor they wore had become tattered.

"What are you doing here? Stand up for me! ”

Lu Kang's words did not make the soldiers stand up, but said to Lu Kang: "Please also ask Lord Taishou to return to the house!" ”

As the chief secretary of the Lujiang City Guard, he stepped out from among the kneeling soldiers and came to Lu Kang: "Lord Taishou, even if you don't think about your body, your grandson is still in a coma, let's go back!" ”

"How can family affairs be compared with state affairs!"

For Lu Kang's reprimand, the master book didn't care, and knelt down to Lu Kang.

"If Lord Taishou doesn't return home, I can't afford to kneel!"

Looking at the soldiers kneeling down on the city wall, Lu Kang's eyes became moist.

After a long time, Lu Kang sighed helplessly, and bowed to the soldiers kneeling in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's me Lu Jining, I'm sorry for you and others!" ”

Seeing Lu Kang saluting himself and the others, the soldiers who knelt down hurriedly got up and held Lu Kang's arms: "Lord Taishou doesn't have to be like this!" As soldiers, we are here to protect our family and country, and we can't blame others for dying in battle! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The main bookkeeper, who was originally kneeling, also stood up and stood beside Lu Kang: "Lord Taishou didn't feel sorry for us, but that Sun Ce, as a Hanchen, ate Hanlu, but he didn't think about the emperor's grace, obeyed Yuan Shu's order, and attacked my Lujiang privately, which is really sorry for the people of the world, and sorry for this Haohao Emperor's grace." ”

Listening to the words of the master book, Lu Kang glanced at the place where Sun Ce camped outside the city, couldn't help sighing, and whispered:

"This world ...... It's still messed up after all! ”

At the same time, in the camp of Sun Cejun's army, three miles away from Shu County, Lujiang, Sun Ce was frowning, staring at the map placed on the table.

Although he borrowed troops from Yuan Shu with the jade seal left by his father as a pledge, and wanted to go to Jiangdong to quell the rebellion, Yuan Shu sent himself to attack Lujiang first.

Although Lujiang County is located in Jiangdong, Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang County, is a rare loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, which can be known from when he began to besiege Lujiang City, those soldiers who were on vacation took advantage of the night to secretly climb the city wall and return to Lujiang City.

If it weren't for the support of everyone, how could these soldiers sacrifice their lives to return to Lujiang to defend the city?

If he could, he didn't want to fight against this loyal old man.

It's just that Sun Ce has his own ambitions in his heart.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the authority of the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family has declined, and after Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor, the princes of various places continued to rise, igniting countless wars in this land.

Since he coincided with the coming of troubled times, how could he let go of this opportunity.

It's just that now this battle to besiege Lujiang has been fought for too long.

Sun Ce sighed lightly and rubbed his eyebrows with his right hand: "Gong Jin, this battle has been fought for almost two years!" ”

Hearing Sun Ce's question, Zhou Yu, who was standing aside, put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said, "Yes, it's been almost two years, and this battle has been fought for a long time!" ”

"Gongjin, you know what I'm thinking, this battle can't be delayed any longer. Cao Cao defeated LΓΌ Bu, causing LΓΌ Bu to flee to Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao has also begun to attack Gongsun Zhan, if I can't grasp the opportunity in time, then in this troubled world, there will be no place for me to stand. ”

"It's time to settle this war as soon as possible! Now, not only can we no longer hold on to our food and grass, but even our morale is beginning to decline! ”

"To be honest, I have to admire this Lu Kang Taishou, who has persevered for such a long time when there is a lot of difference in strength." Sun Ce couldn't help but sigh, and then asked Zhou Yu, "Do you have any good ways to break the city as soon as possible, Gongjin?" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at the map, and his heart was full of thoughts.

Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu was staring at the map tightly and was silent, and he knew that Zhou Yu was thinking about how to end this protracted war.

Zhou Yu's heart kept deducing the course of the war, but the more he deduced, the more frowning his brows became.

After a long time, Zhou Yu sighed helplessly, and cast his eyes on the majestic rain outside the military tent: "For this loyal Lord Taishou, I really can't think of any way to end this battle as soon as possible." ”

"Is there no way for such a smart Gongjin?"

Listening to Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Bo Fu, you make fun of me!" ”

"How so!"

Sun Ce laughed at Zhou Yu, who looked helpless, and said, "How could I make fun of Gong Jin, I know your resourcefulness." Someday, your name will be known to the whole world. ”

"I don't care if my name will be known to the world, what I care about is the generation I will create with you in the future."

Hearing this, Sun Ce's eyes flashed with a bright brilliance, and his body couldn't help but exude an unruly domineering spirit: "Don't worry, Gongjin, in this turbulent and turbulent world, we will definitely show our future!" ”

"Since you have said so, Bo Fu, then I can't let you down!"

Zhou Yu listened to Sun Ce's words, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Maybe it's this unruly domineering spirit that makes me involuntarily want to follow this person's side.

"What's the matter, Gong Jin has a way?"

Zhou Yu pointed to the counties of Lujiang County marked on the map, and said slowly: "Maybe we are all wrong, the outcome of this battle is actually doomed. ”

"The one who should really be anxious should be the Taishou who guards Shu County!"

"Why do you say that?"

Regarding Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce felt puzzled.

Obviously, the grain and grass on his side can't hold out for too long, and the morale of the soldiers is also low, and it won't take long for his army to retreat, why did Zhou Yu say that it would be Lujiang Taishou who should be in a hurry?

"Bo Fu, the grain and grass we are waiting for can't last too long, but what about the Lujiang River that we are besieging us?" Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's puzzled face, and opened his mouth to explain.

After Zhou Yu's suggestion, Sun Ce immediately thought of the biggest problem in the besieged Shu County.

"Gongjin, what do you mean...... Indeed, Lujiang, which has been besieged by us, has been cut off from its supply of grain and grass, and after nearly two years of defending the city, I am afraid that there is no longer enough ordnance, grain and grass. ”

Listening to Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu nodded: "That's right!" For Shu County, which is now in danger, we only need to break it with strength! ”

After receiving Zhou Yu's affirmative reply, Sun Ce couldn't help laughing, and slapped his left hand on the map, covering the marked Lujiang County.

"In that case, when the rain stops, the whole army will press down."

"This time, it's about winning the battle!"
