Chapter 971: The First Northern Expedition XXXI

On the official road between Luoyang and Chang'an, located in the section of Hongnong County, tens of thousands of cavalry, horse's hooves are loud, and the yellow sand rolls and rises between the walking of the army.

This was the main force of the Wu army moving south.

"Where have we been now?"

Sun Quan, who was in the middle of the Chinese army, raised his head, looked at the remnant sun in the evening, reined in the reins of his horse, and asked.

"Your Majesty, because of the previous interception of several Hongnong families, we have deviated a little, we should be in the southwest direction of Hongnong, according to the map, we have already passed Hongnong County, as long as we have passed the Lu City in front, we will enter Jingzhao!"

Chen Zhice came up immediately, spread out a marching map, and said in a deep voice.

When they went back, it was not as smooth as when they came, they were all cavalry, good at walking the avenue, not taking the path, but once the avenue went wrong, they could only slow down.

"At least it must be expected to be three days late, and I don't know if Zilong has arrived in Chang'an City, if Chang'an City does not report, we will really have a bloody battle, break through, pass the order, speed up the journey, be sure to rush to Chang'an City within two days!"

Sun Quan's eyes flashed with a hint of exhaustion, but he still gave the order to continue on his way.

At this time, time is of the essence.

He and the main force of Xiliang, the Wei army, raced against time, if the main force of the Xiliang region, the Wei army, was blocked in Chang'an one step earlier than him, this battle would be dangerous.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, a team of scout cavalry rushed back from the front to explore the road, and the scout company commander turned over and dismounted, and reported to Sun Quan: "The official road in front has been hollowed out for a distance of twenty zhang, and the cavalry can't pass!" ”

"Here we go again!"

When Sun Quan heard this, a nameless fire erupted in his heart, and the killing intent in his eyes was blazing: "It seems that these Guanzhong families are addicted, right?" Do you really think that I won't give them a river of blood when I'm in a hurry? ”

On this road, it was originally an unobstructed official road of Dachidao, and the weather was sunny. It was perfect for a hurry, and then the road was either suddenly blocked by a boulder, or it was hollowed out and disconnected.

This writing is actually not a big problem, and it can't stop the footsteps of Wu Jun, as long as the troops are sent to repair it quickly, it can be passed.

But once. Twice, three times......

These small troubles piled up again and again and became a big trouble, and it was because of these small troubles that Wu Jun spent at least half of his time on the road.

This is the generosity of the Guanzhong family.

They don't have a strong force to block the footsteps of the Wu army going south, but they have a strong influence to hinder the time for the Wu army to go south, and these small means are enough for the Wu army to scratch your head and be angry.

"Your Majesty, it really can't go on like this. If we come again ten times or eight times, we won't be able to catch up with Chang'an City in another ten days! ”

Sun Ce rode a black horse, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "It's better to fight these cities and bloody the Guanzhong family!" ”

"I want to fight too, but time doesn't allow it!"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth, his blue eyes condensed a trace of blood, and his voice was cold: "With our current strength. Even if all the families in Hongnong County are wiped out once, it will be enough. But the delay in this can wipe us out! ”

The Guanzhong family grasped this point, so they unscrupulously caused small trouble for the Wu army to move south, delayed time, and waited for the main force of the Wei army to encircle.

"But Your Majesty, if we are designed by them again and again. If the speed is not enough, Chang'an will be lost, and it will eventually be caught up by the Wei army's tiger and leopard cavalry! ”

Lu Bu's eyes were gloomy.

"It really can't go on like this, Chen Dao!" Sun Quan thought about it, it was not the same thing to go on like this. Even if you can't kill on a large scale, you still need a little action to deter some of these Guanzhong families.

"In!"

"You immediately arrange for the soldiers, set up camp on the spot, all the soldiers quickly recover their strength, we will rest here for the night, and we will be on the road tomorrow!" Sun Quan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a deep voice.

"No!"

"Lei Ding!"

"In!"

"You take a division of soldiers to repair the broken official road in front overnight!"

"Yes!"

"Lu Bu Sun Ce!" Sun Quan's expression was solemn, and suddenly his killing intent jumped.

"In!"

Two fierce generals rode out on horseback

"You're right, if we don't kill people this time, we won't be able to get out, but we don't have much time, we can't fight one by one, there is a Lu city in front, according to Jinyiwei's Guanzhong information, this city has a representative of the Guanzhong family, the Lu family, the two of you each bring 10,000 soldiers and horses, abandon the horse and attack the city, take advantage of the night, within an hour, take the Lu city, and then ...... Slaughter the entire Lu clan! ”

Sun Quan's handsome face burst out with hideous killing intent: "I want to tell these Guanzhong families this time, if anyone dares to stand in my way, I will kill people and destroy the door, I want to see how many families there are in Guanzhong, who can make me slaughter the clan!" ”

If there was another choice, he didn't want to kill people and slaughter people, after all, whether it was opposition or hatred, the old and weak women and children were innocent, but he had no choice now.

If you can't use blood to deter these Guanzhong families, I'm afraid that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command won't be able to get out.

"No!"

Lu Bu and Sun Ce ordered, and they couldn't help but raise their heads, looking at Sun Quan with awe-inspiring murderous intent, and their hearts felt a slight chill.

Both of them knew Sun Quan very well, especially Sun Ce, since he was a child, he rarely saw Sun Quan so murderous one day, but this made him even more awe-inspiring.

If there is any shortcoming of Sun Quan, the emperor, it is soft-heartedness.

At the critical time, it is a little ruthless and murderous.

Benevolence is true, but good governance is difficult to make the arrogant soldiers in the army submit, and it is difficult to dominate the world.

The little bit of competition in Sun Ce's heart, I don't know when, became weaker and weaker, and it had reached the point of disillusionment, and now he was somewhat accustomed to his position.

Night falls.

The first month of the new year is a winter to spring, the temperature between day and night is very different, the temperature during the day begins to warm, but at night, it is still the temperature of winter.

Under the cold wind, the soldiers of the Wu army relied on the plain of this hillside to set up a simple temporary camp.

The camp didn't even have tents, they were lightly armed cavalry. Dealing with a certain amount of food, naturally did not carry such a burden, and the generals were resting around the bonfire.

After a day of continuous travel, the soldiers were also very tired, and the whole camp was quiet.

"His Majesty Emperor Wu doesn't seem to be in a good mood!"

Before a bonfire, the leisurely Sima Lang raised his head. looked at Sun Quan, who was obviously depressed, and gloated a little.

He was pressed to follow the army, although his freedom was restricted and he was guarded by the soldiers of the Wu army, but now the difficulties faced by the Wu army are very clear in his heart.

"Sima Lang, you said that I sacrificed you to the flag, will those Guanzhong families stop!"

Sun Quan glanced at him and said coldly.

"No!"

Sima Lang said calmly: "The reason why a family is a family. Collective interests are the mainstay, anyone can give it up, besides, I am just a small son of the Sima family, and I can't affect the collective decision of the Guanzhong family, they do this for the sake of great interests, no matter what, they will not stop, they want to take the opportunity to enter and use Luoyang to fight. The court officials of the Wei Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, increasing the influence of the Guanzhong family. Do you think I can be more important than their interests? ”

"Humph!"

Sun Quan snorted coldly: "You can't do it, but I can, they really think that I am a paper paste, I want to run for my life now, I don't care about them, I want to talk to them in a good voice." If they don't listen, I'll show you how the flowers are red. ”

"How do flowers get red? What do you mean? ”

When Sima Lang heard this, he was inexplicably stunned.

"Stupid, naturally stained red with blood!"

A little kid next to him, a very reasonable analysis.

"Huh. Shu Ogura is very smart! ”

When Sun Quan saw it, he was immediately happy, and his big hand stretched out and touched Cao Chong's little head.

"It's the Lu Clan, you want to destroy the Lu Clan and make an example of the chickens and monkeys!"

Sima Lang's reaction was very fast, looking at the surrounding soldiers and horses, there were a lot less, Lu Bu and Sun Ce were not there, thinking about the nearby area, his expression was a little shocked.

"Cangshu, you are so smart, if Lao Cao redeems himself for you in the future, I am really reluctant to let you go!"

Sun Quan didn't pay any more attention to Sima Lang, his eyes looked at Xiao Cangshu and said.

"Blue-eyed, let me tell you, if you don't let me go again, my father will kill you!" Cao Chong's cute little face showed a vicious look, very cute.

"Don't worry, your father's soldiers and horses can't catch up with me!"

Sun Quan said with a smile: "When we return to Jinling City, I want to see what your father can do to exchange you, if your father is not willing to change you back, I will take you as a hostage and stay in Wu Kingdom!" ”

……

The next day, the Lu clan was wiped out, and the Wu army continued on their way.

The news of the Guanzhong family spread quickly, and the Lu family, one of the main families of the Guanzhong family, was wiped out, and the whole family was slaughtered, which quickly spread throughout Guanzhong.

"This group of Wu Jun is too ruthless!"

"Destroying the door is such a thing that has lost its conscience, Wu Jun dares to do it, what is the difference between it and beasts!"

"Dare to slaughter the clan, we and the Guanzhong family are not in the same sky as their Eastern Wu!"

The Guanzhong family was shaken.

While they were extremely angry, they panicked, and in the face of this time when the slaughter clan was wiped out, all of their families had lingering fears, especially Hongnong Jingzhao's family.

This time, they joined forces to block the road, but it was actually the Hongnong Yang family and the Hedong Wei family, and the Hanoi Sima family teamed up to decide.

But Wu Jun's ferocious anger made their families retreat, this time it was the Lu family, so was it their family's turn that time, for a while, these Guanzhong families were in a hurry.

Upper Castle.

This is a big city that has entered Chang'an, and it is also the nest of the Luo family, a large family in Guanzhong.

The county commander Luo Kun is the head of the Luo family.

"Family master, we are already on the road leading to Chang'an, we have spent three days to place wooden stakes to block the road, Wu Jun wants to clear these wooden stakes, it will take at least half a day!"

In the Luo family's mansion, Luo Kun sat in the first place, looking at the letter in his hand, and at this time, the leader of the family soldiers came to report.

"Luo Li, you immediately lead someone to remove these wooden stakes to ensure that the road is clear!"

When Luo Kun heard this, he looked at the letter in his hand, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Why, master?" Luo Li was puzzled.

"Lu Heng, the head of the Lu family in Lu City, instructed someone to dig up a section of the road and block the way of the Wu army, but was wiped out by the Wu army, why do you say?"

Loquin drank the letter in his hand.

"The head of the family, but we let Wu Jun go smoothly, how can we explain to the Yang family?"

The order of the Hongnong Yang clan is equivalent to a holy decree for them, the families of the Hongnong region.

"I don't care if his Yang family dies, who wants to be wiped out, who is going to stop them, Wu Jun now has tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, and our strength is not enough to give people a tooth!"

Luo Kun stood up and shouted with all his might: "We don't care about this matter, we set the wooden stakes ourselves, now you take people to pull them all up, and then repair the road, as if you haven't done it, let them live in peace, we Luo Clan can't follow in the footsteps of the Lu Clan and be slaughtered by the whole clan!" ”

"No!"

When Luo Li heard this, he trembled, and hurriedly took the family soldiers, but he got the cause and effect of what he planted. (To be continued.) )
