Chapter 560: The Fall of the Chu State

"By the way, Nanyang is very troublesome, right?" Sun Quan changed his words and asked, "Is there still a chance to take Nanyang back?" ”

"Nanyang County is probably out of play!"

Lu Bu shook his head, sighed, and said: "A certain family has calculated thousands of calculations, but it is still a leak, and the elite cavalry of the Liang Kingdom, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, will go south at this time, and the guide zhΓ¬ Wancheng has obviously already arrived, and in the end, he has to give up, and the great opportunity to seize Nanyang has also been delayed!" ”

Originally, they had a chance to take Nanyang County, but when Ma Chao went south, the situation changed greatly, and in order to stabilize the situation in Xiangyang and prevent the battle of Chibi from happening, Lu Bu could only go south.

Wancheng had to give up.

This is a very unpleasant thing for Lu Bu, otherwise he would not stare at Ma Chao to fight.

"Hehe, Wei Jun should have come back to his senses now!"

Sun Quan put his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and said: "Zhang Xiu is the king of the spear in the north, Zilong's senior brother, he can become a world-famous general, and he is not a fool, although most of the elite under his command have been transferred to the north to go to the official road, but he has ruled Nanyang for a long time, if other people are in Nanyang, it is easy to deal with, he, even if Nanyang's troops are weak now, he wants to gather tens of thousands of troops, it is not difficult!" ”

Nanyang County is a part of Jingzhou, a county with a large population in the world, basically accounting for one-third of Jingzhou's population, but since it was ruled by Yuan Shu, it has been completely split from Jingzhou.

Later, it entered the hands of Zhang Xiu, who once established the Nanyang Kingdom, but was soon defeated by Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, and was demoted from the king of Nanyang to the marquis of Nanyang.

Although Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao still put him in Nanyang, and he still had roots in Nanyang.

LΓΌ Bu led his army north, wanting to knock him off. At the beginning, he was indeed caught off guard, and even won Nanyang Jiancheng Wancheng in one fell swoop, which is already a remarkable record.

It's a pity that in the end, because Ma Chao led his troops south to Xiangyang, Lu Bu had to go south, and the first battle of Nanyang fell short.

The matter of recovering Nanyang. Now it has become a little far away, once the opportunity is lost, it will not come again, Wu is not incapable of capturing Nanyang, but if Nanyang fights again in this situation, it will escalate into a bloody battle between Wei and Wu.

"Junhou, I just received the news!"

Mo Cong of the Jinyi Guard stood up and bowed down and said, "Cao Ang, the eldest prince of the Wei State, hurry down and order." The 10,000 forbidden troops of Xu Ducheng went south, and the leader of the troops was a young general, Cao Xiu, and Zhang Xiu gathered tens of thousands of young men in Nanyang, with at least 70,000 troops! ”

"Forget it, take your time with the problem in Nanyang, let's stabilize the situation in Jingzhou first?" When Sun Quan heard this, he put it down for the time being. He glanced at Lu Bu and asked indifferently, "Xiangyang City." When will we be able to take it? ”

"Anytime!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu shrugged his shoulders and replied confidently and easily, "Now the Chu soldiers in the city already don't have the heart to fight, give me an hour's time, and we can enter the city." However, this city is the capital of Chu after all, and Chu has not died in a day, so we don't know what to do with it! ”

Don't underestimate a name.

When you fight, you can not care, but you want to rule Jingzhou and stabilize Jingzhou. It is very important to be justified, and in other places they can conquer cities without scruples, but Chudu, it is still necessary to be cautious.

"You've thought it all through now!" Sun Quan was a little surprised, if it was Lu Bu in the past, he wouldn't say a word, and he would talk about it.

"Over the years, I have read a lot of books, and I also understand what war and politics are!" Lu Bu sighed and said lightly.

"If you could understand this before, I'm afraid the battle of Xuzhou will be another result!"

Lu Bu was the machine of war, but he didn't understand the political situation, and finally led him to defeat, otherwise with his ability, he would be enough to become a giant in the troubled times.

"That's fate!"

Lu Bu didn't have any regrets, there were some things that he had seen now.

"How's it going in the city?"

Sun Quan thought about it, his thoughts returned to the problem of Xiangyang City, he stood up, paced back and forth in the tent, his brows were deeply locked, and now he was also a little embarrassed.

Although Liu Biao is dead, the state of Chu is not dead, Liu Qi, Liu Zong, are still there, and the state of Chu still exists in name.

It is not difficult to destroy the state of Chu, but it is difficult to stabilize Jingzhou.

"The gate of Xiangyang City is closed, we haven't entered the city, and there is not much news, but in the past few days, there seems to be some changes in the city!" Lu Budao: "It should be that they are in chaos, there are changes in the city, many people, and their heads have fallen to the ground!" ”

"If it can be resolved peacefully, a certain family doesn't want to use soldiers, and doesn't want to attack Xiangyang again, this battle, Wu Guo has made enough killings, after all, this is Xiangyang, the middle family of Xiangyang City, the great Confucian sage, can drown me with spittle."

Jingzhou is a place with a very heavy academic atmosphere, and for the people in Shilin, it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Sun Quan's reputation for killing captives has spread all over Jingzhou, and this ruthlessness has caused the fear of countless people, and I heard that Huang Chengyan of Jiangxia has been a succession of many people who want to resist him.

At this time, he should use some gentle means.

The combination of rigidity and softness can stabilize Jingzhou.

"Junhou, although there are many wealthy families in Xiangyang City, but now, the Chu State will die, and they are not fools, they should understand what kind of environment it is now!"

Pang Tong thought for a while, and said: "This matter can be talked about well, if you go to the city in person, you will definitely do your best to let the Chu State end quietly!" ”

"Are you sure?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, thought about it, and said: "The dog can jump over the wall if he is in a hurry, and the person is in a hurry, saying that he can't wait to do anything, the people in the city are now unstable, and they are even more afraid of me slaughtering the city, lack of trust, even if you are a member of the Pang family, it may not work, if something goes wrong, I will lose a lot!" ”

Pang Tong is the pillar of the future in his opinion, and he can't overturn the ship in the gutter here.

"Huh!"

Pang Tong smiled and said heartily: "It's just talking, whether it will work out or not, a certain family really doesn't know, but a certain family is safe." A certain can guarantee that the Pang family is not vegetarian, in Xiangyang City, they want to kill me, but they can't do it! ”

This is the confidence of the Pang family.

The Pang family is the clear stream in the family, and there are more people who read than officials. The huge Shangshu, Pang Xiaoshangshu, is not only famous all over the world, but also has protΓ©gΓ©s all over the world.

"Okay, be careful!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he put down his heart and said: "Ben Hou will now give you the biggest bottom line of the Wu State, and the Chu State must come to an end, as for the rest." A qiΔ“ can be discussed! ”

"No!"

"Junhou, let's accompany Master Pang on a trip!"

Shi Tao narrowed his eyes, stood up, surrendered his hand to fight, and said: "Although Pang Junshi is from Jingzhou, he must be a little unfamiliar with Xiangyang over the years, and he is not familiar enough with the court of Chu State, so he can be a guide!" ”

"Good!"

Sun Quan heard this. After thinking about it, he glanced at Shi Tao. He was right, so he nodded and said, "If this matter can be done, you should take the first credit!" ”

……………………

Night falls, and the stars are shining.

In the Wu army camp, the light of the brazier illuminates every corner of the camp. In the silence, the footsteps of patrol soldiers were sounding back and forth.

After Sun Quan had dinner, he lay on the desk, looking at a pile of copywriting to be reviewed, and there was a trace of trouble in his heart. There are too many things in Jingzhou, and he can't handle them all.

He thought about it, stood up, put on his cloak, and then walked out of the tent, and met Lu Bu on the opposite side, and arrived: "Old Lu, go out for a walk with me!" ”

"Okay!"

Lu Bu nodded.

The two rode horses, with hundreds of guards, out of the camp, in the starry night, they walked along the gate of Xiangyang City, and finally stood on a hill, looking down on Xiangyang City in the night.

"Old Lu, there's a question I want to ask you!" Sun Quan said suddenly.

"Ask!"

Lu Bu's face was calm, and he said lightly.

Sun Quan's amber eyes, with a hint of green light flickering under the night, asked, "I want to know, how do you feel about Wu Guo now?" β€œ

"How do you feel?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he was slightly stunned, he thought about it, and then said sincerely: "It's okay!" ”

This question is very particular.

"Is it okay? What do you mean! ”

Sun Quan frowned, what is the answer!

"If you say that you fully agree with the Wu State and return to the heart, a certain family really can't do it now, if the Wu State gets to the point where it is now the Chu State one day, I will leave without hesitation!"

Lu Bu said calmly: "But I don't have the heart of rebellion against Wu State, if Wu State can always ensure its hegemony, a certain family is willing to be the general of Wu State for the rest of his life, and fight for Wu State in the world!" ”

Sun Quan listened and listened, and understood what Lu Bu meant, as long as Wu Guo was not defeated, he Lu Bu would not rebel, but he would definitely not live and die with Wu Guo, not to that extent.

He knew that this was Lu Bu's true words, because Lu Bu was arrogant, and there was no need to lie to him.

"Haha!"

Sun Quan suddenly laughed, his smile was full of supreme confidence, and he said loudly: "Lu Bu, remember your words today, our Wu Kingdom will not have the day you said, the future of Wu Kingdom will be open, bright, and unlimited, we will dominate the world, we will not be limited to the places we see with our own eyes, we will forge ahead, the sea can't stop us, the mountains will block us, and the whole world will plant the battle flag of Wu State!" ”

"I'm looking forward to that day!"

When Lu Bu heard this, a scorching light flickered in his pupils, and his blood couldn't help but be a little excited.

――――――――――――――――

5th year of the Warring States period, April 5.

The little prince of Chu, Liu Zong, who was only seven years old, led the great achievements of Chu State, under the south gate of Xiangyang City, in the eyes of thousands of people in Xiangyang, to Sun Quan, the eastern marquis of Wu State, handed over the letter of surrender of Chu State.

From this day, the state of Chu officially ended and perished in history. (To be continued......)
