Chapter 47 Sun Zhongmou's resurrection Liu Xuande seeks Jiangdong again
"How could Sun Quan be in Huiji? There's still the South China Sea in between, did he fly here? After coming back to his senses, it was Kou Feng who was the first to raise his own questions.
"He's from the sea. In the previous round, General Sun and General Ji led the army to aid Jingnan and Shangyong, the Jiangdong garrison was insufficient, and Huiji only had a few thousand garrisons, which were attacked by Sun Quan in one fell swoop. My father led the army to break through the siege, but he was poisoned by Lu Fan's dog thief behind his back! Of the 5,000 defenders, only me and hundreds of people escaped! Zhao Quan was already in tears when he said this, and a drop of tears fell on the surface of his feet.
"I see!" When everyone heard this, they understood what they were coming. Zhao Feng was silent for a long time, he and Zhao Yu were only picked up by Zhang Fei for a while, although he was not as affectionate as the three brothers of Liu Bei, but he never thought that he would die at the hands of Sun Quan. Now that Sun Quan occupies Huiji, it will not be good if he is allowed to make trouble in Jiangdong again.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also forced himself to calm down, looking at the stunned everyone and Zhao Quan, who was still crying, Zhao Feng said abruptly: "Virtuous nephew, you go down first to change your clothes." Wait for me to serve my lord, and then raise troops to avenge your father!" ”
"Thank you, uncle!" Immediately, Zhao Quan followed Niu Jin and did not mention it. Zhao Feng looked up at everyone, but saw that everyone was waiting for him to make an idea, so he looked at it and said to Shi Tao first: "Guangyuan, this matter is too big, I want to go to Shouchun to see the lord in person, and he will decide." Jingnan's affairs, you will take care of it first. ”
"General rest assured, Taozi will take care of everything!" Shi Tao did not shirk and said slightly. With this incident, the generals were in no mood to drink anymore, and they dispersed at the moment, but Zhao Feng still left Zhou Tai and Zhu Ran behind.
"Yifeng, Youping. Sun Quan is making a comeback, what are your plans? Zhao Feng looked at the two Jiangdong veterans in front of him, and after hesitating for a while, he still asked this most sensitive question. Zhou Tai and Zhu Ran glanced at each other, and finally Zhou Tai spoke: "When it is said that the Sun family descends first, and Zhou Tai descends, there is no intention of betrayal, let alone a sense of indebtedness." Now that they are the intruders, they are our enemies, and they should deal with them. ”
"So do I." Zhu Ran was silent for a long time, and only said these four words.
"That's good, although the two of you don't want to be in the same league with Sun Quan, but after all, there is an old feeling, and it is quite embarrassing to meet on the battlefield, so let's sit in Jingnan to prevent Nanban." Zhao Feng lowered his mind a little when he heard this. Zhu Ran is a filial son, his father Zhu Fan is in Shouchun, Zhu Ran will not abandon the light and turn to the dark; Zhou Tai is upright, he said that if he doesn't miss the old love, he really doesn't miss the old love.
"Thank you for your understanding." The two sighed, and then said goodbye. Zhao Feng briefly cleaned up, first talked to Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, and finally went to the room to explain the truth to Zhen Jiang, who was recuperating in bed.
"Husband, be careful." Zhen Jiang naturally knew the priority of the matter, so he just gave an instruct. "This Sun Quan can really make trouble, and he just gave birth to a son and doesn't make people peaceful." Zhen Mi said angrily.
"Kill yourself!" Zhao Feng hated the authentic way. I didn't expect Sun Quan to be restless when he arrived in Jiaozhou, and now he actually called back, which was really unexpected. Zhao Feng estimated that this was also because of Cao Ying's pouting, otherwise if there was no foreign aid, Sun Quan himself might not have the courage to make trouble.
"Husband, when you come back this time, just take Mi'er." Zhen Jiang looked at Zhao Feng and suddenly spoke. Zhao Feng was stunned when he heard this, but saw that Zhen Mi was already flushed and bowed his head silently, neither in favor nor against.
"Mi'er is 20 years old, if it weren't for the death of her grandfather, she would have gotten married. Now that he has experienced his uncle's affairs, the marriage contract of the Yuan family has been terminated. Husband, you can reluctantly accept her. Zhen Jiang said with a playful smile.
"Sister!" Zhen Mi felt that her face was already hot, so she stomped her feet and turned away. Zhao Feng looked at the two sisters, and finally smiled helplessly. Bowing his head and kissing his wife and son on the forehead, Zhao Feng packed his bags and went to Shouchun to see Liu Bei.
Along the way, bad news kept coming.
On August 13, Pan Zhang, the captain of Hengjiang in Luling, took advantage of the absence of Luling's discipline and raised troops to respond to Sun Quan; On August 14, Sun Jiao, who was in Wu County, took the opportunity to meet Zhang Zhao, the pastor of Yangzhou, and suddenly kidnapped Zhang Zhao, and opened the city gate to accept Lu Meng into Wu County. On August 16, Ding Feng led an army of 10,000 to attack the South China Sea, and Gong Zhi, the Taishou of the South China Sea, was beheaded in a battle with him, and a county in the South China Sea fell. In the same way, Poyang Taishou Taishi Ci led his troops to surrender to Sun Quan. When Zhao Feng arrived in Shouchun, the seven counties of Jiangdong were in the past, and only Lujiang, Danyang and Yuzhang were still in Liu Bei's hands. At the same time, Yangzhou Mu Zhang Zhao was also taken hostage, and Jian Yong was seriously injured and died nine times. Among the high-ranking civil officials in the entire Jiangdong, only Jiang Wan was engaged in Zhizhong and Chen Jiao was engaged in farming because he was in Yuzhang to supervise farming, and he passed by this turmoil.
"Lord!" After Zhao Feng and Liu Bei and others met each other, everyone also summarized their respective news. "Lord, everyone, I feel that something is wrong here." After Zhao Feng digested all the news, he also spoke slowly.
"Bo Tao also felt it?" Liu Bei was not very surprised when he heard this, and Pang Tong and Lu Su were even more understanding.
"It was Sun Quan who chose this time very well, and he took advantage of the emptiness of my Jiangdong garrison to rush to the front line and the interior. Not only that, but even the time of the events is not far apart. It would be too much of a coincidence to say that there was no prior planning. Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Although General Zhao's words are reasonable, how can Sun Quan enter Jiangdong so quickly when he is in Jiaozhou?" When Sun Qian heard this, he also raised his doubts. Almost everyone has thought about this question, Yangzhou garrison aided Jingnan and Shangyong on August 2, and Sun Quan's entry into the Kou Huiji was on August 9. In just seven days, even if it is a quick horse, it is impossible to send the news of the emptiness of the Jiangdong garrison to Jiaozhou in time, let alone have time to go to sea from Jiaozhou to attack Huiji. The only explanation is that Sun Quan was already ready to go, and he caught everyone off guard. If that's the case, his men and horses should have been lurking near Huiji all along, where would they be? Thinking of this, Zhao Feng seemed to anticipate something, his eyes stared at the map on the wall for a long time, and finally focused his gaze on the lower right corner. Although it was not marked on the map, he knew that there was an island large enough not far from the sea.
Liu Bei lowered his head and thought for a long time when he heard this, and finally raised his head and said: "Regardless of whether Sun Quan is coincidental or not, now that the four counties of Jiangdong are in his hands again, they need to be recaptured again." At present, Wen Yuan is fighting fiercely with Cao Ren in Liang County, the second brother is in Jingzhou, and now the only general of Shouchun is the third brother and Bo Tao. The matter of conquest of Jiangdong will be entrusted to you. ”
"Yes!" Zhao Feng did not shirk, and directly responded to Zhang Fei in unison. At that moment, Liu Bei began to allocate manpower, and Yuzhou and Xuzhou naturally had to divide part of their troops, and the 30,000 Jiangdong military horses of Sun Fu and Ji Ling were also to be dispatched, and then there was Ganning's sailor. However, since Lujiang and Danyang and Yuzhang are still in their hands, crossing the river is not a problem.
"My lord, why don't you send General Gan's sailors south from the Gan River to Cangwu, and first level Sun Quan's foundation in Jiaozhou?" Pang Tong looked at the map and suddenly proposed.
"It's okay, it's not a problem to cross the river now, the sailor can't use it here, so let him go to Jiaozhou to make contributions!" Zhao Feng also agreed with Pang Tong's opinion. Liu Bei had no choice but to send someone to inform Gan Ning, who was in Jiangxia, and asked him to go south to attack Jiaozhou. At the same time, as long as the mobilization of troops and horses from all over the place is completed, Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei will wave their troops south.
"Mother!" In the Wuhou Mansion in Wu County, Sun Quan was also excited to tears in the face of his wife, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
"Quan'er, you've lost weight!" Wu Guotai looked at Sun Quan, who had obviously lost weight and had dark skin in front of him, and he was already choked up after just saying a word. The mother and son sighed for a long time, but Wu Guotai sighed and said: "Quan'er, if you raise troops this time, once you are defeated, the Sun family will have no place to stand." ”
"Mother, please rest assured, the child has found a large island overseas, the climate is pleasant, and the property is abundant, Lu Ziming has built a city there, and Mr. Xu Wenxiu is running there. Even if things don't work, we can live in seclusion overseas and be outsiders. Sun Quan said with relief.
"That's good!" The old lady was also a little relieved when she heard this. After a pause, Wu Guotai said again: "Although Zibu surrendered to Liu Bei, it was also after you surrendered, and there was no debt. He is your mentor, and he has taken a lot of care of our Sun family over the years, even if he refuses to help you anymore, you don't have to embarrass him. ”
"Save the child!" Sun Quan nodded. Wu Guotai is old after all, and he rushed from Wucheng to Wu County, and he was extremely tired and bumpy along the way, so Sun Quan hurriedly asked people to serve his mother to rest, and all the family members had their own arrangements.
"Second brother!" Sun Yi and Sun Jiao waited for Sun Quan to finish their work here, and walked up together. "Two virtuous brothers, what is the current situation?" Sun Quan sorted out his emotions a little and asked.
"The four counties have all been taken, and the grain in the treasury of Wu County has just been taken out, and a new group of soldiers has been recruited, and Ziyi is stepping up training. Coupled with Ziyi and Wen Qi's surrender army, if you integrate it, there is a ** 10,000 elite soldiers, and the rest are still training. Sun Yi said with a smile, this situation is not bad.
"It's so good, step up training, I estimate that Liu Xuande's people will arrive in less than ten months." Sun Quan nodded. At this time, Sun Jiao sighed: "It's a pity that Cao Ying suddenly waved his army to take Hebei, otherwise Liu Bei and Cao Ying fought fiercely, and we would have taken the opportunity to consolidate Jiangdong." ”
"That's good right now!" Sun Quan comforted. After a pause, Sun Quan said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the land of Jiangdong was rich, and it was better than waiting for me." Although Huiji Wu County is prosperous, the troubles of Shanyue have also been swept away, Liu Bei is really capable. ”
"This is all Zhao Feng's idea." Sun Jiao replied with a smile. He has been stranded in Jiangdong, although his personal freedom is not very large, but he still knows these things.
"Zhao Feng?" Sun Quan was a little surprised when he heard this, and then sighed and said: "If it weren't for this person's divisive plan back then, how could I blame Gong Jin and destroy the Great Wall." Sun Quan's words were a little light, but he forgot how he was jealous of his ability in the first place.
"It's a pity that this Zhao Feng's official luck is not smooth, when he fought Jiangdong, he was still a general of Fenwei and a guard of Pengcheng, but now he is demoted to a rebellious general by Liu Bei, which is really ridiculous." Sun Yi is also a little gloating. Sun Quan heard this, but his eyes suddenly lit up a little, and the essence in his green eyes flashed.
