Chapter 606: Fighting? Or not to fight?
Jinling City, the royal palace.
Battle Hall.
Li Ne held a dossier in his hand, constantly analyzing every battle report transmitted from Guandu, and Sun Quan stood next to a sand table and listened very carefully.
While listening, he also aimed at the terrain of Guandu and observed it carefully.
The battle of Guandu has almost ended, Wei won a complete victory, killing and capturing nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin State, if it were not for Ju Yi's soldiers and horses crossing the river, Yuan Shao would have died.
But now it seems that Ju Yi can't save Yuan Shao's name.
"Have you detected clearly, is Yuan Shao alive or dead?"
Sun Quan asked suddenly.
Whether Xiahou Yuan's arrow can take the life of Yuan Shao, the king of Jin, he is really a little curious, if Yuan Shao is dead, then Jizhou and Merge ...... It's time to split.
"Life and death unknown!"
When Li Ne heard this, he shook his head, thought about it again, and then said: "But he was hit by an arrow from Xiahou Yuan, and suffered such a big blow, even if he lived, he should not live long, the latest news came, he had already crossed the Yellow River under the escort of the first camp and the Euphorbia, and returned to Hebei, but the army led by Tian Feng was led by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers, surrounded in Baima Mountain!" ”
"Wen Chou is dead, Yan Liang is dead, Gao Ran has surrendered, Zhang Jaw has been captured, even Tian Feng is more than lucky, it is estimated that he will be captured if he does not die, this battle, Yuan Shao is also quite miserable!"
Sun Quan sighed and said: "The Jin Kingdom is a broken backbone this time, it is not a problem, if Cao Cao works harder, he will be able to hit Yecheng in half a year at most!" ”
"Not necessarily!" Li Nie squinted, his eyes flashing with a hint of essence: "As the so-called wounded enemy is 1,000 and 800 self-inflicted, in the battle of Guandu, the Wei army seems to be a big victory, but they also have a lot of casualties." In a short period of time, it is still a question whether they will have the ability to cross the river and fight.
"Yuan Shao's foundation in Hebei is extraordinary, even if he is a corpse, it will be a matter of two or three years!" Li Nie thought about it. And one more sentence added.
"If it's Cao Cao!" When Sun Quan heard this, he didn't think so in his heart, he smiled and said coldly: "Even if Lone smashes the pot and sells iron, he will lead his troops to cross the river, and he will definitely not let Yuan Shao breathe a sigh of relief, and he will chase and fight hard, which can save Wei three years of effort." ”
But in this way, he is not afraid of losing big because of small things. Did it bring down the state of Wei? ”
When Li Ne heard this, his eyes suddenly had a trace of doubt, looked at Sun Quan, and asked: "If you know, in this battle, his casualties are definitely not small, if he continues to fight, his soldiers will not be able to bear it!" ”
Strong-willed soldiers. In the face of the huge casualties of the soldiers around him, he will be timid in his heart. will be low.
It's inevitable.
Sun Quan smiled coldly, and then said, "Because he can't afford to wait, Cao Cao knows very well in his heart that if he lets my Wu State breathe this sigh of relief, it is still unknown whether he can get Jizhou in Wei Guo's daily clothes!" ”
"Say so. Cao Cao will definitely cross the river! ”
Li Nie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "King, are we also working harder?" ”
"Lonely and anxious!"
Sun Quan sighed slightly, raised his head, and looked at the scorching sun above the sky. said: "But Wu Guo is really in a hurry at this time, and it is still necessary to distinguish which is more important and which is more important." ”
"The king is worried about the morale of the officers and men in the army?" Li Ne thought about it for a moment before he said tentatively.
"Well, the first battle of the Western Expedition, our casualties, you can see it, it was all forcibly supported, and now we really can't afford to fight, in fact, we have similar experiences to Cao Cao, we have experienced a tragic victory, and then we are unable to fight again, Lone originally expected Pan Feng and Zhang Yan to use their identities to come to a soldier without blood, and now, they have not returned for a long time, Lone is a little worried about them!"
Sun Quan pinched the bridge of his nose as soon as he got used to it, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his pupils.
Uneasiness for the northern frontier.
"Are we just watching the Wei army take Jizhou and take the Jin Kingdom?" Li Ne gritted his teeth, and there was a trace of unwillingness in the pupils of the Yin Owl: "We are all the same experience, they can fight, can't our soldiers of the Wu Kingdom fight?" ”
It's not that he's greedy, it's just that Jizhou is now a piece of fat, and it's a pity if you don't take a bite.
"The situation is the same, but we are in a different position from Cao Cao, Cao Cao forcibly sent troops and crossed the river to fight, it was helpless, do you think he wants to!"
Sun Quan said: "He is just gritting his teeth and taking risks, and we, Wu State, there is no need to take this risk!" ”
Cao Cao is determined to win Jizhou, because only when he takes Jizhou can Wei have the ability to compete with Wu, the first vassal state today.
But Wu is actually dispensable to Jizhou.
Taking Jizhou is just the icing on the cake, without Jizhou, Wu is still the first power in the world, and now Wu has not completely digested Jingzhou, if you forcibly send troops to Jizhou, it will be a bit greedy, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The most important thing is that the morale of today's Wu army is very low, and the casualties of the Western Expedition, whether it is the navy, foot soldiers, or cavalry, have not eased that breath.
If you fight, it will definitely not work.
Now it's up to Pan Feng to see if they can vacate in time?
"Report, king, eight hundred miles from the north of Xinjiang!"
At this time, outside the main hall, there was a long shout, and the voice was loud.
"Northern Xinjiang Emergency?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he suddenly raised his head, trembled, his eyes burst out with a touch of essence, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come in immediately!" ”
"No!"
Now the general guarding the gate of the royal city, Lei Ding, the general of the tiger warrior under the car, walked in very hurriedly with a thin northern Xinjiang soldier.
"King, this is an urgent report written by the general!" The expression of this northern Xinjiang soldier looked very tired, it must be the rush of people, he knelt down at Sun Quan, carefully took out a secret letter from his arms, and gave it with both hands.
"Ligne!"
Sun Quan is also a person with status now, and there are no rules for doing it himself, so he snorted.
"Yes!"
Li Ne immediately stepped forward, picked up the secret letter, opened it, and when he opened it, his face suddenly turned pale, his face was full of iron, and his eyes were gloomy. A hint of killing intent is implicit.
"King, something has happened in Northern Xinjiang!"
Li Nie handed over the secret letter.
"Karasuma people, Xianbei people, Huns, Goryeo people, Gongsun Chan remnants. Liu Yu's remnant soldiers...... It's good, it's all together, it's really lively, Zhou Yu's mouth, the good is not good, the bad spirit, what to say! ”
When Sun Quan saw it, his fists immediately clenched, and every word on Pan Feng's secret letter. It seemed to hit the depths of his heart, and this time, there was no hope of sending troops to Jizhou.
The ferocious alien races, adding up to more than 100,000 troops, are so empty in the northern frontier, whether they can keep the northern frontier is still unknown.
"Lei Ding!" Sun Quan drank.
"In!"
"You immediately sent someone out of the palace and asked Prime Minister Zhang Zhao. Taiwei Cheng Pu, Imperial Doctor Zhang Hong. Zhou Yu...... Together with the ministers of Jiuqing, they all immediately entered the palace, and they had important matters to discuss with them! ”
Sun Quan took a deep breath, calmed down, his face became cold, and he said resolutely: "By the way, invite Zhao Yun first!" ”
"No!"
Lei Ding heard this. Turning around and leaving, he immediately dispatched his guards and went out of the palace to summon the news.
……
Half an hour later, the civil and military ministers of the Wu Dynasty gathered in Sun Quan's imperial study. Standing left and right, one by one, they were a little puzzled, and looked at Sun Quan very puzzled.
"King, is something wrong?"
Zhang Zhao asked.
"Something happened in Northern Xinjiang, you all have a look!" Sun Quan handed out Pan Feng's secret letter and asked them to circulate it: "This is the general's secret letter, and now the northern Xinjiang is in danger!" ”
"Sun Wei rebelled and responded to the Goryeo people to fight in Liaodong?" The secret letter was passed to Zongzheng Sun Jing's hand, and when he saw it, the blood all over his body was flowing backwards, his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't believe it, and asked in a trembling voice: "Impossible, how could Bowen betray the Kingdom of Wu, the king, is this matter confirmed?" ”
"The General's handwritten letter!"
Sun Quan raised his head, his eyes were like blades, and he said coldly: "Uncle, do you think he will frame Sun Bowen?" ”
"Of course not!" When Sun Jing heard this, the last shred of hope was broken, he was paralyzed and weak, how could a person with Pan Feng's identity frame a Sun Bowen.
His eldest sons, Sun Wei and Sun Bowen, are really the opposite.
At this moment, his heart was not angry, but shameful, and the monstrous killing intent filled his heart.
"Our Sun family is really lively!" Sun Quan sighed, his face was a little self-deprecating, and said: "Now that Sun Ce is still under house arrest, Gu just sent Sun Yi to guard the spirit, but as a result, Sun Wei turned around again, it seems that none of our brothers in the Sun family are fuel-efficient lamps!" ”
The ministers were cold, looking at each other, and they didn't dare to answer Sun Quan's mouth, after all, the Sun family was the Wu royal family, Sun Quan said this, but they couldn't say it.
"King!" Sun Jing's face was blue and red for a while, and finally he took a deep breath, calmed down, and his eyes burst with a fierce killing intent: "If you are willing to go to Northern Xinjiang in person, you must capture the rebel, clean up the portal for the Sun family, and kill him personally!" ”
"Uncle, you are the Zongzheng of Wu State!"
Sun Quan shook his head, looked at him, and couldn't bear it, although Sun Wei was reversed, but Sun Jing's loyalty to Wu was unquestionable, let their father and son fight on the battlefield, such a cruel thing, he couldn't do it, so he said: "Lone is about to ascend the throne, but you are not here, what kind of system is this, this matter is Lone has its own decision, if Sun Wei is captured, Lone will be handed over to Zongzheng Mansion to deal with!" ”
"Yes!"
Although Sun Jing was a little unwilling, he also knew that at this juncture, on behalf of the Wu clan, he really couldn't leave Jinling City.
"King, this matter in the northern Xinjiang is a bit strange!"
Zhou Yu's eyes were like rainbows, and he suddenly said loudly: "I'm afraid that someone is making a hindrance from it, or is it directly aimed at our Wu Kingdom!" ”
"Tell me about it!" Hearing this, Sun Quan squinted slightly.
"It's too coincidental for all tribes to send troops!"
Zhou Yu said: "If no one is in the middle of the dispatch, it is impossible for them to send troops to such a tacit understanding, Xianbei and Karasuma people are both big tribes of the grassland, they can't go together at all, and the Goryeo people, as soon as they send troops, they hit us seven inches!" ”
"So who do you think is dispatching it?"
When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Who has the ability to let them send troops at the same time to invade the land of our northern Xinjiang!" ”
"It's not hard to guess!"
Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "There are only a few who are qualified to calculate the Wu State, and those who are connected with the northern Xinjiang are either Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, because only the chaos in the northern Xinjiang of our Wu State can not afford to look south, my personal inclination, should be Cao Cao!" ”
"Cao Mengde?"
When Sun Quan heard this, his fists clenched, and there was a trace of helplessness in his heart: "He is the first to strike, it seems that Lone still underestimates this King of Wei, when he went to the decisive battle of Guandu with all his heart, he actually had the heart to stare at our Wu State, take a step towards us, and play a good move in our northern Xinjiang!" ”
"King, now is not the time to pursue this, the northern frontier can't be chaotic!" Zhang Zhao said: "The king still needs to make a decision early!" ”
"Lone knows!"
Sun Quan glanced around at everyone and asked, "Do you have a good plan to solve the siege of Northern Xinjiang?" ”
"King, increase your troops!"
Zhao Yun said loudly: "In today's situation, we can't help but fight, if we don't want to lose the northern frontier, then we can only grit our teeth and increase our troops, or we don't fight, we want to fight, directly defeat them, and a certain family asks for war!" ”
"General Zhao said it easily, what are we going to fight now?" Zhang Zhao's face was ugly: "Wu Guo's shape, you don't know, we can't afford to fight this battle at all!" ”
"Prime Minister Zhang, are we just watching the lives of countless sons and daughters in exchange for the northern frontier, just let these aliens be ruined?"
Taiwei Cheng Pu hurriedly stood up and said fiercely: "Fight, this battle will be fought if you can't afford it." ”
"You can't fight, let's drag it first, the treasury of the court can't bear the expenses of this war!" A minister said.
", can this matter be delayed? Must fight! Someone shouted: "Defeat them and raise the power of the northern frontier!" ”
"You said light, you need food to fight, you need arrows, you need crossbow arrows, you need to consume soldiers, you need armor...... Where do these come from? ”
“……”
The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, lingering between fighting and not fighting, the entire imperial study was in chaos, foaming at the mouth, and arguing according to reason.
"Hit?" Sun Quan was also a little bitter in his heart, swaying from side to side: "Still don't fight?" ”
If it had been before, he wouldn't have thought about it for a minute, a word, and a type!
But now Wu Guonai is in charge of the house, so he has a lot of things to consider, and it's not that you can start a war by impulsively saying a 'fight'.
In his position, seek his own government, and take his responsibility.
Sitting in the position of the king of Wu, his grandson Quan is responsible for the tens of millions of people of Wu, and now he understands the hardships of his father in the past. (To be continued......)
