Chapter 249 Sun Quan sues for peace

Sun Quan seized the boat and fled to Exian, and urgently asked people to summon the nearby armies to assemble, while quickly asking people to intercept the cross-river, intercepting the boats containing the remains of Wu Jun, digging a pit and burying them, and sending a boat back to Xiakou to inquire about the military situation.

The news is very bad, the sentry reported that Xiakou was really surrounded by the Jingzhou legion this time, and Guan Yu had already arrived at Xiakou in person.

Sun Quan was in a hurry, seeing that it was difficult to get together the rescue troops in the short term, he was worried that Guan Yu would be unable to resist immediately down the river, and he wanted to continue to retreat, and retreat to Chaisang in one breath to feel more at ease.

Someone persuaded: "Lord, now that Lu Meng and the others are still far away in Baqiu, Guan Yu's siege of Xiakou can't be defeated for a while, he won't rush in." ”

"Well, who knows." Sun Quan didn't think so, the enemy's actions were so fast this time, he had just sent people out ten days ago, and they had already counterattacked to the doorstep.

Fortunately, news soon came that Zhuge Jin had set off from Xiakou and would soon arrive in Exian County.

"Ziyu is back?" Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, Zhuge Jin was able to come back from Xiakou, could it be that Sun Jiao and Lu Meng retreated back to Xiakou and drove Guan Yu away?

"Quick, follow me to the river to meet you." He hoped that Zhuge Jin could bring back good news.

Zhuge Jin's boat came quickly down the river, and when he got ashore, he didn't have time to salute Sun Quan, so he cried first: "Lord! ”

Sun Quan hurriedly grabbed him: "Ziyu, thank you for your hard work!" Why, you're back alone? What about Shulang, Ziming, Boyan and Zihuang? What about the soldiers? ”

"They, they ......" Zhuge Jin grabbed Sun Quan's hand, and didn't know what to say for a while, because he was afraid of scaring Sun Quan, he deliberately rushed in front of the ships transporting the remains and came to see Sun Quan first.

Sun Quan saw him speak heavily, and asked repeatedly: "Ziyu, tell me quickly, how are they, don't scare me." ”

Zhuge Jin saw that he lowered his head, a handful of snot and tears, all of which fell into Sun Quan's hands, hurriedly inserted a few times with his sleeve, took a step back, and choked up: "Lord, Lu Meng has been killed, General Sun Jiao and Lu Boyan are missing, and Quan Zihuang is still trapped in Xiakou City." ”

"Huh?" Sun Quan hasn't gathered troops here to save it, Lu Meng is already dead, and Sun Jiao and Lu Xun are missing, "Then, those tens of thousands of soldiers, are they all ......?"

Zhuge Jin said clearly: "My lord, tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed in battle, or captured, and most of the losses have been lost, and the rest have burned their ships and landed and are ready to retreat by land. Lord, you have to send someone to pick them up quickly. ”

Sun Quan couldn't come back to his senses for a while, more than 60,000 horses, just a few days, all gone! The fears of the past few days have all come true! The plan to attack Jingzhou that had been planned for a long time was completely shattered in just ten days, and it became a heavy death and injury to his own family!

This battle situation is much worse than Yu Ban's flooded Seventh Army, people, at least they have been holding on to Guan Yu for a while, so many of their own men and horses, they have just been thrown in, and before they hear the movement, they are all gone.

How did you do this Guan Yu?

Isn't this terrifying?

"Then, what about Quan Zihuang and the soldiers of Xiakou City? How did you come back alone? Sun Quan has a glimmer of hope, if Quan Cong and them are still there and hold on for a while, he will lead the army to support and block Guan Yu in Xiakou, but he can't let him fight all the way.

"They were also besieged in the city by Guan Yu. I, I, I was the one they put back and brought the words. Zhuge Jin avoided Sun Quan's gaze and bowed his head and replied.

Sun Quan hurriedly asked, "What did they say?" ”

Zhuge Jin replied stubbornly: "They said, please ask the lord to quickly gather people and horses to come to Xiakou to fight to the death, he, he Guan Yu is waiting there!" ”

"Guan Yu, don't deceive people too much! Kill tens of thousands of my soldiers, I must avenge them! "Although I was thinking about running away in my heart, I can't show weakness in my mouth now.

The officials and staff understood in their hearts, looked at each other a few times, and sighed silently, they had just been beaten so badly, so many people had died, and they hadn't been buried yet, who still had the courage to hit the enemy's head now.

At this time, the boat that followed behind to transport Wu Jun's body slowly appeared on the river, getting closer and closer.

Zhuge Jin lowered his head and said softly: "Lord, they also asked us to send the bodies of the soldiers back and put them in the ground." ”

Sun Quan, who was just about to recover from the horror brought by Manjiang's corpse before, immediately fell into endless panic again.

The front one has not been buried, and it has been sent here again, this is the naked mockery of the enemy, this is to sprinkle salt on his Sun Quan's wounds, and it is to let the people of Jiangdong know that they have come to talk about him Sun Quan because of the sneak attack on Jingzhou, and killed tens of thousands of Jiangdong children in vain!

Zhuge Jin said in a low voice: "Jiangdong Xin has suffered a big defeat, in the short term, the army has no fighting spirit, and it is difficult to defeat Guan Yu." ”

Sun Quan pointed to the boats in the river and said angrily: "Could it be that we are so vain, can I still leave Zihuang and their thousands of soldiers alone, and then let them send these ships back?" ”

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "Guan Yu has besieged Xiakou without attacking it for two days. I think they're trying to lure us there and fight them. My lord, we can't fall for them anymore. ”

These words gave Sun Quan a good step, and his voice immediately lowered a lot: "But, what about those thousands of soldiers?" ”

The officials interjected: "My lord, we are in order to help Cao Cao relieve the siege of Fancheng, so we suffered this great disaster. Now, we should hurry up to Cao Cao for help, and ask him to immediately re-attack Jiangling, so that our siege of Xiakou can hopefully be resolved. ”

"The lord, the hegemon, should not be restrained. You must not fall for the enemy, because thousands of soldiers will damage the army. ”

"Lord, our army is newly defeated, the remains of soldiers are drifting all over the river, and the east of the river is shaking, I am afraid that there will be civil strife.

"Lord, why don't we try to make peace with the enemy, the Jingwu Alliance has been in force for so many years, and they are bent on dealing with Cao Cao, maybe, they will agree to our request? Aren't we, and they allies? ”

"What do you say? This has just been fought to the death, and he is an ally with others, in exchange for you, do you believe it? ”

"That's not necessarily, didn't Lu Meng already attack them once last time, and they still don't continue to form an alliance with us? As long as we put all the blame on Lu Meng, maybe people will agree to peace talks again? ”

It seems that a word wakes up the people in their dreams, Jiangdong has been rebelling one after another with bandits everywhere, and this time it was defeated, and those bandits still didn't take my Sun Quan in their eyes and rushed to rebel?

If Liu Bei agrees to the peace talks, then he Sun Quan will really be thankful!

However, will Liu Bei agree? Liu Bei is still far away, will Guan Yu wait for Liu Bei's instructions?

"Lord, you might as well try it." Many officials felt that this was the best solution.

Just to Cao Cao to show loyalty to Liu Bei Guan Yu, these words have not yet fallen, and he wants to show favor to Liu Bei and ask for peace, even Sun Quan, who has always been able to pretend, suddenly felt that it was difficult to turn around.

The officials were still urging in unison: "My lord, try it." (To be continued.) )
