Chapter 261: Embarrassed Uncle
Sun Yu and LΓΌ Dai were killed one after another, and at nightfall, the Wu army in Lukou completely gave up resistance, and the Jingzhou army took full control of the military fortress.
In the second battle of Lukou, Liu Feng immediately ordered Zhang Ren and Yan Yan to lead 10,000 foot cavalry elites, along the land and water trails, bypassing Jiangxia and taking Chaisang.
Liu Feng himself led an army of 70,000 to continue along the river and arrived in the south of Xiakou City with lightning speed.
In the Battle of Chibi, the main force of Eastern Wu in Jingzhou was lost, and only the 5,000 Xiakou army led by Lu Su remained.
At the time of the Battle of Lukou, Lu Suzheng led his troops on the Hanjin line north of Xiakou to resist the Han Shui division of Pang Tong's department. After hearing the news of the fall of Lukou, Lu Su hurriedly led his army to retreat to Xiakou.
At this time, Liu Feng's army had cut off the Yangtze River and blocked Lusu's troops in the north of the river. The Pang Tong Division, after Lusu retreated south, also went south smoothly, and a few days later, the 100,000-strong army completed the siege of Xiakou.
A lonely city, 5,000 panicked soldiers and horses, and Lusu in the midst of the siege has come to the end of the road.
Liu Feng could have ordered a large army to attack the city and flatten Xiakou City with twenty times the enemy's strength, but Liu Feng did not do so.
In view of Lu Su's influence in the Eastern Wu army, Liu Feng felt the need to recruit this person, and once Lu Su surrendered, the blow to Sun Quan would be fatal.
Xiakou City, in the military palace.
Lu Suku, who had a sad face, sat in the hall, holding Liu Feng's paper of repair, and at this time, his mood was so complicated.
Back then, it was he who overthrew Sun Quan, who was a master of high merit, in order to cater to Marquis Wu, so he advocated using Liu Feng to balance Liu Bei.
It was also him back then, who repeatedly stopped Sun Quan from attacking Chu, and fatalized Liu Feng, the trapped dragon, came out of the abyss, and it was out of control.
And now, it was the person he had been trying to protect that destroyed the Jiangxia defense line he had painstakingly managed, and the entire Eastern Wu was forced to the end of the road.
Between thoughts, Lu Su smiled.
It was a bitter laugh.
Looking at Liu Feng's letter of persuasion again, the complicated expression on Lu Su's face seemed to be much less, and his flickering eyes gradually revealed some kind of determination.
Speaking from the heart, Liu Feng's letter was quite polite, and there was no half-point victory's arrogance.
Liu Feng not only praised Lu Su in the letter, but also expressed a strong admiration, hoping that Lu Su could be his own "Xiao He and Zhang Liang".
After thinking for a long time, Lu Su's frowning brows relaxed, he stood up, looked at the gloomy sky outside the hall, and let out a long sigh.
Two days later, Lusu, the governor of the Western Front of Eastern Wu, opened the city and surrendered.
#######ι²θηζι, the blow to Soochow was huge, and when the news came out, the hearts of the entire western counties of Soochow collapsed.
After the surrender of Lusu, Liu Feng immediately led the army down the river, and the defenders of Eastern Wu all surrendered in despair, and Liu Feng's army seized the important town of Chaisang almost bloodlessly.
Capture Chaisang, and the door to enter Jianye was opened.
After three days of rest in Chaisang, Liu Feng divided his troops into three routes and launched a full-scale attack on Eastern Wu.
On the north road, Zhang Ren and Ma Zhong led an army of 20,000 to capture Lujiang and other counties in Jiangbei.
On the south road, Wen Ping and Zhang Wei led an army of 20,000 to enter Pohu Lake in the south and capture Poyang, Yuzhang and other counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
Liu Feng himself, led Xu Shu and Yan Yan, together with the newly surrendered Lu Su, an army of 60,000 troops, to the east along the river and directly take Jianye.
When Liu Feng's middle route army arrived at Anhuikou, he received the news that Zhou Yu had defeated LΓΌ Meng at Chaohu.
Although Lu Meng has two brushes, he is still a little tender compared to Zhou Yu, and the result of this battle of Chaohu Lake was expected by Liu Feng.
To Liu Feng's surprise, Zhou Yu had just "rebelled" not long ago, and he took the initiative to go south to seek a decisive battle with Sun Quan, as if this Mei Zhou Lang wanted to seize Jiangdong as soon as possible to avoid being "eaten" too much by him Liu Feng.
Perhaps Zhou Yu also did not expect that Jiangxia's Wu army would be defeated so quickly, and he Liu Feng easily penetrated into the hinterland of Jiangdong with almost no effort.
In order to seize Jianye before Zhou Yu, Liu Feng ordered the fleet to march eastward in the starry night, trying to seize the mouth of the water first, cut off the passage of Zhou Yu's naval army into the river, and block Zhou Yu in the north of the river, so that he could not share the fruits of victory with himself.
Liu Feng just thought so, Chaohu Lake was only a few dozen miles away from the mouth of the Xu, and theoretically, Zhou Yu could have easily seized this place before him.
But the fact is that after the victory in the Chaohu Lake water battle, Zhou Yu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and enter the Yangtze River south, but stayed in Chaohu Lake to present a wait-and-see situation, sitting and watching Liu Feng come from behind and seize the mouth of the water.
Zhou Yu's actions couldn't help but puzzle Liu Feng, and even made him think for a while that Zhou Yu didn't plan to seize Jiangdong, but just wanted to divide the two Huai.
But Liu Feng quickly dispelled this thought, he knew this Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang very well, his heart was higher than the sky, and he wanted to dominate the world, with such a great opportunity, how could he easily miss it.
Unable to guess Zhou Yu's intentions for the time being, Liu Feng could only divide his troops into 20,000 troops and guard the mouth of the Xukou to warn Zhou Yu's army of movement.
At the same time, he himself led 40,000 soldiers and horses to continue to march towards Jianye.
######δΈΉι³ι‘.
Sun Quan slapped the war horse under his crotch fiercely, and the panting beast, carrying Sun Quan, who had already made a fortune, galloped forward desperately.
Those who followed left and right were only more than a hundred cavalry guards.
In the first battle of Chaohu, Han Dang, Chen Wu and others were all killed, Lu Meng was captured, and the last tens of thousands of families were all compensated.
Sun Quan, who was in the mouth of the wet beard, after learning the news of the defeat of Chaohu, "made a decision immediately", immediately gave up the wet beard, and fled towards Jianye in the starry night.
Because he was afraid that Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses would chase him from the water, not long after leaving the wet beard, Sun Quan abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, leaving behind thousands of infantry troops, and retreated to Jianye by land under the escort of more than 100 cavalry troops.
Although the main elite was lost, the Jiangdong counties were still in his hands, and Sun Quan's only hope now was to escape back to Jianye alive, quickly recruit Ding Zhuang in Wuzhong, and make a last stand.
Looking into the distance, the majestic silhouette of the stone town is not far ahead.
Sun Quan's heart was scared, and gradually relaxed.
At this moment, while he hated Zhou Yu, he was also a little glad that he had made a wise choice.
Fortunately, he was not arrogant enough not to take Zhou Yu in his eyes, in that battle, if he personally commanded the Wu army, at this moment, I am afraid that he would have fed Wang Ba in Chaohu.
Just as he was rejoicing, all of a sudden, Sun Quan's eyes suddenly opened.
In the blue eyeballs, the smoke of the Dao Dao came into his eyes.
The direction of the smoke is clearly where Jianye is located.
Sun Quan was taken aback, and hurriedly urged the horse to gallop. More and more panicked crowds appeared on the avenue, and Sun Quan couldn't help but be shocked when he asked.
Originally, just a few days ago, Zhonglang General Lu Xun secretly united several Jiangdong generals who were in charge of the military, and after hearing about the defeat of Chaohu, he suddenly launched a mutiny when the people of Jianye were panicking.
Among Jianye, there are still many generals loyal to Sun Quan such as Zhuge Jin, who still resisted stubbornly at the beginning of the mutiny.
However, because of the sudden surname of the incident, the rebels preemptively seized the arsenal and other key points, and Zhuge Jin and others could not resist it, so they had to withdraw from Jianye City.
At this moment, the rebels led by Lu Xun have completely controlled Jianye.
When Sun Quan was at a loss, he suddenly saw that the dust on the avenue was rising, and an army was killing this side.
Sun Quan thought that the rebels were coming, and when he was about to retreat, the scouts found out that the one who came was more than a thousand defeated troops led by Zhuge Jin.
Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and drove his troops to join Zhuge Jin.
When the monarch and the ministers met, Zhuge Jin stepped forward with an injury, and said ashamedly: "Lu Xun and other traitors are in trouble, Jin failed to keep Jianye, and I ask the lord to forgive me." β
Hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Sun Quan completely believed that Lu Xun had really betrayed him.
The Lu family is a big family in Jiangdong, when Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he once killed Lu Xun's uncle Lu Kang, to some extent, the Lu family and the Sun family have a deep blood feud.
When Sun Quan first succeeded to the throne, in order to win over the Jiangdong family, he married Sun Ce's daughter to Lu Xun.
He thought that through this marriage, the hatred between each other could be resolved, but Lu Xun and the Lu family he represented would be loyal to him regardless of their previous suspicions.
But Sun Quan didn't expect that Lu Xun just buried his hatred deep in his heart, and he had been holding back, waiting for today's excellent opportunity.
"Lu Boyan, Lu Boyan, you ungrateful, you don't want to die!"
Thinking of this section, Sun Quan was filled with indignation, and he couldn't help but scold.
The soldiers on the left and right bowed their heads and were silent, all of them depressed and at a loss.
scolded for most of the day, Sun Quan was so tired that he was exhausted, so he stopped.
Zhuge Jin persuaded at this time: "Lord, the construction industry has been lost now, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time." I thought it would be better to retreat to Danyang County first, and then make a detour to the east to Huiji, collect Wu County and Huiji's soldiers and take back Jianye. β
Jianye launched a mutiny, obviously all of them were Wuzhong clans, and it is not known whether Wu County and Huiji County were still loyal to themselves at this time.
Zhuge Jin's plan is obviously a bit risky.
Although this is the case, but now, Sun Quan has no way out, so he can only follow Zhuge Jin's plan.
######ει³.
This place is the last military town in the upper reaches of Jianye, Liu Feng's army captured this place in the early morning, and the front of the army is less than 200 miles away from Jianye.
Just when Liu Feng was about to continue to advance towards Jianye without stopping, a messenger from Jianye surprised Liu Feng.
The one who came was Yu Xuan.
This famous scholar from Huiji County and Yuyao County brought a family of Jiangdong to welcome Liu Feng to take over the Jiangdong counties.
Liu Feng really didn't expect that Lu Xun and other Jiangdong clans would betray Sun Quan at this time.
But it's right to think about it, the Sun family slaughtered a lot of the Jiangnan clans, and this enemy is remembered in private.
When your Sun clan can protect their interests, they can be loyal to you, and when your Sun Quan is now defeated, it is normal for people to rebel against you.
Liu Feng, who was overjoyed, immediately treated Yu over and ordered the army to continue to advance towards Jianye.
When he heard that Sun Quan had retreated to Danyang County, Liu Feng immediately made a decision, personally led 3,000 cavalry, and went to the embarrassed eldest brother who pursued him by land and starry night.
