Chapter 431: Fighting for Meritorious Service Sun Quanzhong
readx;
After thinking for a while, Cao Ying didn't have a clue, he looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone, what do you say Sun Quan should do is the most beneficial?" β
"Back to Prime Minister, if I were Sun Quan, I would stand still and hold on to you. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info wait for Sun Ce to break through Nanjun, send troops to Xiangyang, and when our army has to retreat, he will lead his troops to follow! Xun You is worthy of being a master of the art of war, he actually guessed Lu Su's plan.
"Not necessarily!" Cheng Yu was scheming, he lightly twisted his chin and said, "I heard that Sun Quan and Sun Ce have long been at odds for the position of the lord of Jiangdong. If Sun Ce makes another great contribution to Jiangdong this time, Sun Quan will not be able to compete with him. I think Sun Quan should take the initiative and try to defeat the prime minister to prove that his ability is not inferior to Sun Ce! β
"This..."What Cheng Yu and Xun Yu said was very reasonable, and Cao Ying was a little hesitant! He couldn't help asking, "Which one is likely to have a bigger surname?" β
"Prime Minister, why do you care what Sun Quan will do, we force Sun Quan to choose!" Jiang Ji said with a smile: "If Sun Quan wants to defend, we will naturally attack!" If he wants to attack, isn't he falling into the arms of our army? β
"What Zitong said is very true!" Cao Ying smiled: "It's the true picture that is confused!" β
"The prime minister is serious!" Jiang Ji bowed down and smiled: "You are just a fan of the authorities!" β
Cao Ying waved his hand and was about to speak. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the big tent, and he asked a little angrily, "Someone!" What's going on out there? β
"Prime Minister Qiqi, there is a strong wind in the camp, and the handsome flag will be blown down!" Hearing Cao Ying's shout, a small school walked into the big tent and told the reason for the noise!
"The wind blows down the handsome flag?" Cao Ying glanced at everyone and asked, "What is the sign?" β
"Prime Minister, isn't it that Sun Quan wants to attack the camp, so he went to heaven to warn him?" Although Zi Bu is strange and confused, since ancient times, the wind has blown down the handsome flag, either damaging the main general, or symbolizing that someone has attacked the camp. Jiang Ji frowned, thinking of two possibilities, but he didn't dare to say the other possibility.
"Sun Quan's attack on the camp?" Cao Ying said: "Benxiang has just attacked his camp, and he dares to attack Benxiang's camp, doesn't he want to repeat the mistakes of Benxiang?" β
"I'd rather believe it than believe it, and ask the prime minister to make a decision as soon as possible!" Xun You frowned and bowed out. What Jiang Ji knew, he also knew, but he liked Mingzhe to protect himself, and he didn't say what he thought in his heart! He and Jiang Ji glanced at each other just now and had already exchanged opinions.
"This..."Cao Ying smiled and said: "In this case, if Sun Quan really dares to attack the camp, his true appearance will make him unable to eat and walk around!" Lu Yi, this prime minister ordered you to take the lead in the camp and ambush outside the camp, and when Sun Quan's army enters the camp, you will be the first to enter! β
"The last general obeys!" The first camp is no different from the dead, because of this, its combat effectiveness is very strong, and Lu Yi regards every battle as the highest honor of the first camp.
"Gao Lan, Han Meng!" Cao Ying said: "You wait for an ambush at the camp gate, if Sun Quan enters the camp, when the shouts of killing start, you will cut off his way back!" β
"The last general obeys!" Gao Ran and Han Meng retreated with the order, and the two of them looked a little excited. Blocking the enemy's back road, but the advantage of being able to capture the enemy's main general alive!
"Xu Huang, Cao Chun!" Cao Ying picked up two more arrows and said: "The two of you are ambushing behind the camp, and when Sun Quan retreats, you will lead the army to assault and kill and injure Sun Quan's corporal as much as possible!" β
"The last general commands!" Cao Chun and Xu Huang took the arrow and retreated.
After arranging the ambush in the camp, Cao Ying smiled and said, "If there is nothing else, you will go down and prepare!" β
"Prime Minister, why don't you arrange an ambush on the wooden bridge, maybe you can capture Sun Quan alive!" Xu Huang is also a general, he saw the omission in Cao Ying's arrangement, so he reminded him!
"Gongming, Sun Quan can't die!" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Sun Quan and Sun Ce can't hold each other, and Sun Quan's ambition is even greater. If Sun Quan dies, everyone in Jiangdong will obey Sun Ce's will, and our army will be in trouble! Therefore, it is necessary to leave Sun Quan and make Jiangdong unable to unify internally! β
"I see!" Xu Huang understood what Cao Ying meant, so he didn't say more. And they all returned to their headquarters, and prepared to meet the invading enemy.
On the south bank of the river, in the Jiangdong Army camp, Sun Quan was sitting very depressed on the seat of the Chinese army's big tent. Although Cao Ying was repulsed, he lost a lot of supplies, and it was not a victory or defeat, at most it was a draw. What made Sun Quan most depressed was that LΓΌ Meng's troops suffered the greatest losses, because LΓΌ Meng blocked Cao Jun's first arrival in the camp head-on!
Back then, the first camp was unstoppable under Yuan Shao, and now it is even more carried forward in the hands of Cao Ying. Although the Jiangdong Army was not bad, it was able to defeat 3,000 cavalry with 800 infantry in the first camp. Now there are 10,000 people in the first camp, and there are less than 10,000 people under Lu Meng, if the loss is small, it will be strange!
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Cao Ying is on the north bank, do we really have to wait for the eldest brother to break through Jingzhou before sending troops?" Looking at the people under his command, Sun Quan was a little depressed. The people who can fight are all under Sun Ce's command, and those veterans, he can't move. Sun Quan, who wanted to make a meritorious contribution in this battle, would never want to wait for Sun Ce's victory to enter the army!
"It's the best way!" Lu Su smiled: "Second son, we not only have to defeat Cao Ying, but also preserve our strength!" You must know that our great enemy in the fight for the world is not Cao Ying, but Liu Zhang! β
"If I win the world like this, what does the world have to do with me?" Sun Quan was faintly ruthless in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "I will never sit back and wait for the victory of my eldest brother, I will use Xu Chu's head to pay tribute to my father!" β
"This..."Lu Su said: "Second son, Cao's army is powerful, it is not easy for us to stalemate with it, how can we defeat him?" β
"Raid the camp!" SUN Quandao; "Yesterday, Cao Ying attacked our army's camp and was severely injured by our army. Today, our army also attacked the camp at night, and he definitely couldn't have imagined it! β
"Second son, Cao Ying is good at attacking the camp, how can he be defenseless, please think twice!" Looking at Sun Quan, Lu Su's eyes were full of sincerity.
"I've made up my mind, don't persuade me anymore!" Sun Quan ignored Lu Su and insisted on going his own way. In his opinion, Lu Su is Sun Ce's person, and he doesn't want him to make meritorious contributions!
"Alas..."Lu Su understood Sun Quan's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh and retreat.
"Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai listen to orders!" Seeing that Lu Su no longer persuaded him, Sun Quan stood up and said: "I will order the two of you, the third watch to make rice, the fifth watch to pull out the camp, and follow me to attack Cao Jun Dazhai!" β
"The last general obeys!" Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were ordered to assist Sun Quan, so they naturally had to listen to Sun Quan's orders, even if they were reluctant in their hearts!
"Zhu Ran, Lu Meng, Zhu Huan!" Sun Quan said: "The three of you will answer behind the two generals Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, and after entering the Cao camp, set fire everywhere to avoid an ambush in the Cao army!" β
"Yes!" Zhu Ran and the three of them are Sun Quan's cronies, and they will never disobey Sun Quan's orders. It's just that Lu Meng is still a little hesitant in his heart, he can hear that Lu Su's opinion is correct! However, he could also see that Sun Quan did not understand, but resisted!
After arranging the attack on the camp, Sun Quan asked everyone to go down and prepare. Lu Meng hesitated for a long time, but did not leave. When Sun Quan raised his head again, he found that Lu Meng had not left, so he asked with a smile: "Ziming, is there anything else?" β
"Lord, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not!" Lu Meng knew Sun Quan's surname, so he was a little reluctant to speak. In fact, he has already mustered up great courage to stay!
"Ziming, you are my cronies, you have something to say!" patted Lu Meng on the shoulder, Sun Quan was full of smiles, he admired Lu Meng very much from a reckless man to a famous general!
"Lord, Lord Lu's words are very reasonable, and it is indeed the best way, you..." was only halfway through his words, when he saw Sun Quan's face flushed with gloom, Lu Meng's heart tightened, and his sweat immediately wet his back clothes, and he couldn't go on!
Seeing Lu Meng's frightened expression, Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Ziming, you are really not the original Wuxia Ameng!" Even you can see it, how can I not see it? But have you ever wondered how I can inherit the position of Lord of Koto if I have no merit in this battle? Besides, my father's will, the one who avenges him is the lord of Koto! If I sit back and wait for my eldest brother to win, won't I just give up the position of the lord of Jiangdong? β
"This..."Lu Meng was stunned for a moment, although he understood a lot of truths through reading, but he was not very clear about the internal struggle and family conflict.
Seeing Lu Meng's confused face, Sun Quan smiled and said, "Ziming, if you don't understand now, you will understand later!" Let's go and straighten out the army! β
"Yes!" Now that Sun Quan understood, Lu Meng didn't say much, but the moment he turned to leave, a trace of murderous aura flashed in Sun Quan's eyes.
Night fell again, and Sun Quan's camp did not move until late at night. The Cao army scouts had already withdrawn, and even the lights in Cao's camp had become dim. On the third watch, there was a sound of rustling in Sun Quan's camp, and the Jiangdong soldiers began to cook silently. On the fifth watch, under the cover of night, a group of Jiangdong soldiers drove towards the Cao army camp. Sun Quan had a golden helmet and golden armor, a sword at his waist, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were by his side, but he didn't dare to slack off.
The lights of Cao Ying's camp have long been extinguished, and only a few torches are still lit at the gate of the camp. On the lookout, a few soldiers with bows patrolled back and forth, but there were no patrol soldiers in the camp. Seeing this situation, Sun Quan smiled and said: "It seems that Cao Ying was defeated by us, but he has relaxed a lot!" Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, you lead people to solve the soldiers at the door! β
"Yes!" The Jiangdong army was good at shooting, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's archery skills were even more extraordinary, and the two brought a few archers, and killed the sentries at the gate of Cao Ying and the soldiers on the lookout! Moved away from the Luchai at the door, and seeing that Cao Ying still didn't move, the two of them made a secret call to Sun Quan!
"Kill!" Sun Quan pulled out the sword at his waist and roared, and the Jiangdong soldiers rushed towards Cao Ying like a tide, but Cao Ying still didn't make the slightest movement!
Sun Quan overturned a tent and found that it was empty, he immediately realized that Cao Ying had already prepared, and hurriedly ordered: "Pass my order, the whole army..."
"You can't go!" Before the words were spoken, the lights around Cao Ying were bright, and Cao Ying and Xu Chu stood not far away and said with a smile: "Zhong Mouxian's nephew, don't come to harm?" If you don't get off your horse and surrender, will you wait for your own life to capture you..."
