Luling and Xindu were lost, and brothers Sun Kuang and Sun Yi were killed in battle. When these two pieces of news were transmitted back to Wu County, Sun Quan was stunned.

I thought that the two brothers had heavy troops, how could they support them for a while if they held on, and then they could send troops to raid the rear, and they would be able to win together. I don't want Sun Kuang and Sun Yi to lose so quickly and so powerlessly. Before he could react, the two men had already been completely defeated.

"Uncle Bi, Ji Zuo!" Sun Quan muttered the names of his two younger brothers, and the whole person staggered a few steps, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, Pan Zhang and the others were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Sun Quan, and then ordered the doctor to come to diagnose quickly. After some diagnosis and treatment, Sun Quan finally woke up. Looking at the concerned people in front of him, Sun Quan sighed and said astringently: "Everyone, is there a good plan for the current situation?" ”

Everyone turned their heads and you look at me, I look at you, and finally Lu Meng mustered up the courage to say: "Lord, now I can only take one step at a time." It's really not good, let's go across the ocean to Yizhou and be the people of the world! The crowd was silent.

Lu Meng can be said to be the most radical main battle faction under Sun Quan, and now even he thinks that it is best to plan early and prepare to run away, and the rest of the people will not be able to say anything. Sun Quan nodded, and when he was about to say more, he heard the maidservant who served the old lady report that the old lady had passed out when she learned that her second son had died. Sun Quan was worried about his mother's health, so he hurriedly suspended the discussion and forced himself to visit his mother.

"Mother!" When Sun Quan arrived, Wu Guotai had just woken up, but he still couldn't move, so he could only lie on the bed to recuperate, and several female dependents were taking care of him. Seeing Sun Quan coming, Wu Guotai's tears fluttered down like broken beads, grabbed Sun Quan's hand and cried: "Zhongmou, Shubi and Ji Zuo have already gone, and I only have a son like you!" ”

"I know, Mother!" Sun Quan couldn't cry when he heard this. Of his five brothers, three have been lost, and there is also a half-brother Sun Lang. Wu Guotai first lost her husband and then her son, and her relatives have passed away one after another for more than ten years, and now her heart is really like a knife.

Although Sun Quan was sad, he still cheered up and comforted his mother a few words, until his mother drank the medicine and fell asleep, and then left the room. "Second brother, is there really no way for us to win against Liu Bei?" As soon as she went out, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl pulled Sun Quan's sleeve and asked. This teary-eyed appearance matched her pretty appearance was also pitiful.

"Don't worry, Xiang'er, the second brother still has a way." Sun Quan barely squeezed out a smile and reached out to wipe the tears from his sister's face. Looking up at Da Qiao who was coming, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Mother is not in good health, sister-in-law usually bother, and little sister." Sun Quan patted his sister's head as he spoke. Rao is his generation of heroes, and even the loss of his second brother is too slow in an instant.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of the affairs of the family." Da Qiao had nothing to do, and nodded hurriedly. Suddenly, Da Qiao seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked: "There is one thing I have always wanted to ask my uncle, now that my uncle is an enemy of Liu Bei, and my sister is in Chaisang, will she be implicated?" ”

"Liu Xuande has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous, and Ling Mei is the widow of Gongjin, Liu Bei is still courteous to the Gongjin people, and he will not get along with her no matter what." When Sun Quan heard her mention Xiao Qiao, a trace of inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, but he still tried his best to answer. After a pause, he didn't even know what his motive was, Sun Quan said again: "Besides, Sister Ling and Liu Bei's general Zhao Feng have a very close relationship, and with his protection, they should be safe." ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Da Qiao nodded, then came back to his senses, and asked Sun Quan in disbelief: "Uncle is saying that it is the same Zhao Feng who killed Bo Fu with a secret arrow back then and separated Gongjin?" ”

"Exactly!" Sun Quan looked at Da Qiao's somewhat frantic expression, and he also had a special feeling in his heart.

"How could Ying'er have a relationship with such a person!" Da Qiao said angrily, Sun Quan half-truthfully persuaded a few words, and then quit to go about his own business, leaving Da Qiao and the young Sun Shangxiang who were full of doubts and annoyance not to mention it.

Not to mention that Sun Quan's heart is burning now, at this time, in the city of Shixin County, Gao Ran and Huang Zhong came to report that all the counties under the rule of Xindu County have been recovered, and they are waiting to wave their troops to Poyang.

"Shiyuan, Zilong, what do you think we should do next?" Zhao Feng spread out the map on the table and beckoned everyone to come and watch. Pang Tong looked at the map, and after a long time, he muttered: "At the moment, we have two choices, one is to merge General Ji Ling's men and horses, and go south to solve Lu Fan there; The second is to go west to Poyang and clean up Sun Jiao there. According to the Tanmalai newspaper, Lü Fan of Huiji had 10,000 defenders, and Sun Jiao of Poyang had only 4,000 infantry to defend the city, but there were still 10,000 sailors stationed in Poyang Lake. At present, according to the opinion of the unification, it is better to attack Poyang first. Huiji Mountain City is steep, and it is not easy to capture it if you want to attack it for a while. Although there are many defenders in Poyang, the city is short, and our army's siege equipment is sharp, or it can be swept down. ”

"That's great!" Zhao Feng also felt that it was safer to fight Poyang first, and he played quite easily last time. At that moment, he ordered someone to inform Ji Ling of Luling and asked him to make a situation of going east. In addition, let Yin Li lead an army of 10,000 to garrison Xindu to prevent Sun Quan from attacking from the back of Wu County, and Zhao Feng himself led the army to attack Poyang first.

"Poyang is where Poyang Academy is located, and I don't know what happened to the students there, and whether Sun Jiao will embarrass them." During the march, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered a question. Pang Tong was slightly silent when he heard this, and finally said with some uncertainty: "Poyang Academy was founded by Sun Ce after all, and Sun Jiao won't embarrass the students there." The tone was uncertain.

"By the way, Shi Yuan, it was Sun Jiao who kidnapped Mr. Zibu in Wu County, and then deceived the city gate, right?" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered another key question, and hurriedly asked Pang Tong.

"Exactly, what, did the general think of something?" Pang Tong asked with some surprise.

"Before sending the troops, I always wondered why Sun Quan would return to Jiangdong so smoothly. Although the lack of military strength at that time was somewhat lax, and it was also a matter of internal annihilation, it was really unusual for Sun Quan to occupy the four counties so quickly. It's as if he's been planning for a long time and is waiting nearby. When the reinforcements of General Ji Ling and General Guoyi left Jiangdong, he immediately led his army to come. Zhao Feng said leisurely.

"It seems to be so, but this is too unbelievable, you must know that Sun Quan is not an unpredictable prophet, how can he know that General Ji Ling and General Guoyi are going to help Chi Jingnan and Shangyong, and how can they transfer troops from Jiaozhou to Jiangdong by sea so quickly? If he hides troops on the side, but Jiangdong is adjacent to the coast, how can he hide troops on the vast sea? Perhaps, this is just a coincidence. Even if Pang Tong is brilliant in intelligence and imagination, he obviously feels that Zhao Feng's inference is a bit alarmist.

"It's still difficult to reach a conclusion at the moment, it's best to capture Sun Jiao alive after breaking through Poyang, and then you can find out the truth and truth." Zhao Feng sighed and said. In the previous battle of Xindu, although thousands of Jiaozhou soldiers were captured, after interrogation, they all said that they were Sun Quan who occupied Jiangdong before they went south from Gaoliang to this place through the South China Sea. The Jiaozhou army, which really attacked Wu County and Huiji, is now all staying in these two places. However, Sun Jiao originally made trouble in Wu County, but he only went to Poyang afterwards, and Zhao Feng estimated that he should always know the reason.

Not to mention the inferences of Zhao Feng and Pang Tongtong all the way forward, at this time in Wuling County, under the guidance of the local Wuxi barbarian aborigines, the Jingxiang water division of Ganning finally found a river channel that could go south to the hinterland of Yulin, so as to avoid the terrible miasma on the land. Later, Gan Ning learned that this river was an artificial canal dug by Qin Shi Huang during his southern tour. It's just that since then, the emperors have not shown much interest in going south, and this river has not been used much, so it has been forgotten until now, so that it is almost a little deserted.

At this time, it was late November, and Gan Ning estimated that the miasma should be almost gone, together with Zhang Nan, Feng Xi and the two led 30,000 sailors south to Jiaozhou, preparing to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. Before leaving, Shi Guangyuan came up with a plan, and Gan Ning and the others thought it was very good when they heard it, and acted according to the plan at the moment.

When Sun Quan left Jiaozhou and returned to Jiangdong, Jiaozhou also left some military horses to garrison, and his uncle Sun Jing and Sun Jing's eldest son Sun Yu took care of all affairs. At present, there are more than 20,000 people stationed in the four counties of Jiaozhou, Yulin, Guanzhu, Gaoliang, and Jiaozhi, and even Zhuya County, which is isolated overseas, has 3,000 defenders. Their task is very simple, that is, to ensure stability in the rear and keep in touch with Ling Tong stationed in the South China Sea at all times. In case something goes wrong in Jiangdong in the future, Sun Quan can also return here.

"Father, the cangwu Huo Junka is here, it's really worrying, it's better to let the child lead the army to sweep this guy, and connect the road with the South China Sea!" In the Jiaozhou Pastoral Mansion on this day, Sun Yu proposed to his Lao Tzu.

"No need, although Cangwu is still in Huo Zhongmiao's hands, we can still connect the South China Sea through Gaoliang, so we don't have to bother with this." Sun Jing very clearly rejected her son's proposal.

"But through Gaoliang to the South China Sea and then to Jiangdong, the road is very long. Cangwu Huo Jun's defenders were only a few thousand, and the child led 10,000 athletes to go, and he could take it in an instant. Sun Yu obviously did not give up his proposition and continued to admonish.

"What my son said is true, but at the moment there are only tens of thousands of horses in Jiaozhou, if the troops are divided again, in case the Jingzhou army is killed from Jingnan, what can I do?" Sun Jing frowned. Sun Yu was a little scoffed at his father's worries, and replied with a smile at the moment: "If the people of Jingnan want to go south, they will only take those mountain roads, which are all places where a husband and a man cannot open it. We only need to send more than 1,000 people to guard the main road, and we can ensure that Jiaozhou is safe. ”

"That being said, be careful. It is the best policy for us to stick to the city and leave a foundation for the Sun family. "Sun Jing has always been more steady. As a bystander, he experienced Sun Jian's death in Jingzhou thirteen years ago, and Sun Ce's death in Shouchun five years ago, these bloody lessons told Sun Jing that if he was too brave and ruthless, the end would definitely not be too good. Sun Jing asked herself that her martial arts were not as good as her brother and nephew, so she should pay more attention to restraint.

"My lord, Leader Ruan sent someone to deliver a letter." At this time, a sentry hurriedly came and handed Sun Jing a letter. Sun Jing took it and opened it to read, he had always been calm, but his expression was quite surprised after reading it.
