NO.575 The ministers were disheartened, and Sun Quan insisted on going his own way
Set up camp a few miles outside Xiaopei City, Zhang He was depressed in his heart, this time Jing Xiang broke through, and Yu Ban was captured, this defeat, he always had to report to Chen Liu, but every time he thought of Jia Xu's earnest entrustment when he was leaving, Zhang He always felt that he had high hopes for Jia Xu.
And this time Jingxiang's army and horses poured out of the nest, all of them were counted to Xiaopei, Zhang He only roughly estimated, and knew that the number of his soldiers and horses was roughly around 30,000, and now the Cao army has fought with Jingxiang several times, and was taken away by Jia Xu 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the advantage in strength is no longer as obvious as before.
"Where did Zhuge Liang get these soldiers and horses?" The more Zhang He thinks about it, the more crazy he is in his heart, now Xiaopei is lost, the army and military food are all in the city, and now the lack of food is no longer Jingxiang, but Cao Jun, although Zhang He can also transfer grain and grass from the surrounding counties, but Zhang Liao knows that in this war, the counties of Xuzhou have transferred more grain and grass to Xiaopei to prepare for military needs, and now they go to ask for food, I am afraid that they will not be able to ask for too much.
Zhang He frowned, and Le Jin also sighed on the side.
Before the battle with Wei Yan this time, Le Jin thought that although the martial arts of the five good generals were inferior to the five tigers, they were much more powerful than the rest of the generals in Jingxiang, but today he was hit by Wei Yan, and Le Jin felt deeply depressed in his heart, and he was so tired that he was forbidden to be captured, and Le Jin felt that he couldn't stand his colleagues in the DPRK and China.
The two were silent for a moment, then beat their spirits, went back and forth to the camp, and regrouped the soldiers.
However, the successive unsmooth battles made the Cao soldiers also feel a sense of defeat, and Zhang He saw that the morale of the army was low and he was even more at a loss.
"If Mr. Wenhe is here, what should he do?" Zhang He thought for a long time, but only shook his head bitterly.
The former Hebei Fourth Court. After all, he is not a poisoner, where did he come from to contend with Zhuge Liang?
The battle situation is like this, Zhang He can only choose to garrison outside Xiaopei City, monitor every move of Jingxiang military horses in the city, Zhuge Liang's ruthlessness makes Zhang He dare not use troops easily, so that Cao Jun and Jingxiang military horses in Xiaopei City have also become a distant confrontation.
With abundant grain in hand, Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to leave Xiaopei. Jia Xu is now gone. I was afraid that it would be difficult to come back for a while, and I watched the Cao army outside the city, going back and forth between the counties of Xuzhou every day, transporting grain and grass. Zhuge Liang also felt a sense of happiness in his heart.
The war in Xuzhou has come to this point. Soon it was taken by the princes of various families. I know it all.
Sun Quan learned of Shouchun in Jiangdong, and the Hefei military horses all entered Xuzhou, and they were also ready to move.
It's just that Sun Quan wants to use troops. Jiangdong Erzhang and the heads of the family are all advised.
The reasons for the heads of various families to prevent Sun Quan from using troops are extremely simple, Jiangdong originally planned to be in a corner of peace, but now he is mobilizing troops, what is it? If Jia Xu annihilated Zhuge Liang's army and horses in Xuzhou, it would be fine, but now Zhuge Liang's loss is not big, if he easily uses soldiers to Shouchun, he will go and return, how to resist?
On the current court, there is no Zhou Yu to contend with, and there is no mediation between Lu Su and Jing Xiang.
On the top of the main hall, Sun Quan saw that the heads of various families were all avoiding the war, and the generals were also silent, bitter in their hearts, and secretly said that since Zhou Yu and Lu Su left, the Jiangdong court has no backbone, whether it is facing the Central Plains or Jingxiang, except for groveling, what will it be?
When Zhou Yu was still in Jiangdong, although he would suffer some defeats, Jiangdong still had some integrity, but today, Sun Quan himself felt that he was the best Wu Hou had done.
Sure enough, it was a wrong step, a wrong step.
Maybe people only regret it when they lose. Every time Sun Quan goes to the court now, he regrets that he was trying to be happy for a while, which made Zhou Yu and Lu Su deviate from morality, and not only that, without Tai Shi Ci's deterrent Huiji, even Shanyue, who had been calm for many years, began to move.
After a long period of stability and peace, Sun Quan finally understands now that the current situation in Jiangdong is already internal and external, and it is stormy.
Zhang Zhao stood in the middle of the court, gushing endlessly, and admonishing constantly, but such words fell into Sun Quan's ears, becoming more and more harsh, for several months, Sun Quan had enough of the Jiangdong court, and when he responded to government affairs, it was nothing more than to deal with some disputes of Jiangdong families, Sun Quan wanted to scold Zhang Zhao and tell him that Sun Zhongmou was Wu Hou, not a miscellaneous servant who dealt with the family entanglements.
"Zibu!" Sun Quan pressed for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, looked at Zhang Zhao angrily, and said to Zhang Zhao: "According to Zibu's words, I have no Zhou Yu and Lu Su in Jiangdong, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all of them are useless?" ”
When Zhang Zhao heard this, he raised his head, his eyes did not dodge or evade, and he looked at Sun Quan from afar.
After a long time, Zhang Zhao sighed lightly and said to Sun Quan: "Cheng Demou can still be used, but he is trapped by Gan Ning on the river, if the lord wants to send troops to Shouchun, who can be the commander of the army?" ”
Sun Quan was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer, seeing the expression on Zhang Zhao's face, still indifferent, Sun Quan's heart was on fire, and he said to Zhang Zhao: "I have more than 100,000 Jiangdong naval troops and horses, and it is so difficult to even plot to capture two cities?" If there is really no one to be the commander, then Sun will personally conquer Hefei! ”
Pro-enlist!
Zhang Zhao was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then retreated into the crowd, not saying more, but he sneered in his heart.
Sun Quan is not Sun Ce, once upon a time on the battlefield, such a guy who has never seen a bloody battle on the battlefield dares to fight in person, could it be that now, Sun Quan still thinks that he, the Marquis of Wu, can confront Jing Xiang?
Now Jingxiang and the Central Plains will hunt in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and the Pang Shanmin just can't spare their hands to clean up Jiangdong, don't look at the current Jiangdong army and horses, there is still a lot of fighting power, but above this court, it has already fallen apart, Sun Quan is separated from morality, and who will serve his life?
Zhang Zhao has already thought that if the waterway along the river is lost, he will return to Jingxiang with the heads of the family, although Pang Shanmin is much harsher to the family than the people, but in general, as long as the family is willing to work harder, it can still flourish, but with Sun Quan, it is difficult for the family to grab benefits from Jiangdong, although Sun Quan is the Marquis of Wu, but he only knows how to throttle and does not know how to open ...... If Jiangdong is ruled by this person, it will only get poorer and poorer.
Sun Quan didn't know that in just a few moments, Zhang Zhao had already thought about the way out of the family in his heart, and seeing that Zhang Zhao didn't say anything more, Sun Quan thought that Zhang Zhao was persuaded by him.
Glancing at Zhang Zhao approvingly, Sun Quan smiled and said: "My brother once said, 'Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Lang if you don't decide on foreign affairs', now Gongjin has changed to the new master, Sun Mou will ask Zibu about internal affairs and foreign affairs!" ”
"I don't deserve to be praised like this...... Zhang Zhao said, sighing lightly.
Sun Quan said Sun Ce's words, which made Zhang Zhao can't help but think of the time when he governed Jiangdong with his old master.
For Zhang Zhao, Sun Ce is a brave and unscrupulous person, and he is also the master, at least Sun Ce knows that his cultural governance is not good, so he entrusts the government affairs to a group of families to rely on, and he and Zhou Yu only need to be single-minded to expand the land of Jiangdong.
Although Sun Quan has some wisdom and understands power and strategy, this person does not know how to rely on it, and many times he always relies on the great inheritance left by his father and brother, and insists on going his own way.
From this point of view, it is clear which of the two is better and which is inferior.
Therefore, when Zhang Zhao heard Sun Quan's words, he was only slightly stunned, so he didn't say more, and Zhang Zhao was too lazy to persuade Sun Quan anymore, and he begged for hardship.
Sun Quan said, and then fell on a group of generals, although Tai Shi Ci hidden, but Jiangdong brave warriors, there are still a lot of left, Xu Sheng, Ling Tong and others saw Sun Quan's gaze, they all avoided it, and no one dared to look at Sun Quan.
In the past, when Zhou Yu was there, every time he went to battle, all the generals asked for battle, but now Sun Quan asked for generals, but no one agreed.
Sun Quan's expression was sneering, his face was embarrassed, and he coughed lightly: "According to the news from Cao Jun's messenger, now Guan Yu and Wei Yan are in Xuzhou, and Hefei Supreme General is guarding it, and it is the time for my Jiangdong to take advantage of the weakness to enter......"
Sun Quan said, seeing that the generals had not yet spoken, he was also annoyed in his heart, and said to the generals: "When Gong Jin was here, all the generals were brave and extraordinary, why did Gong Jin go, and you even fought with Jing Xiang, and you still had no courage?" ”
When the generals heard this, they were inevitably annoyed in their hearts, Ling Tong took a few steps forward, bowed his hand and said: "According to what the lord said, it is not difficult to capture the city, but has the lord ever thought about how to defend our army for a long time after taking Hefei and Shouchun?" ”
Sun Quan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he heard Ling Tong say again: "If the war in Xuzhou and the Cao army defeats Zhuge Kongming's army, my Jiangdong will have to face the Central Plains military horses, doesn't the lord think that Cao Cao will be willing to let these two important towns and my Jiangdong?" If Zhuge Liang can defeat Cao Jun, who in my Jiangdong can resist this person's wisdom? It can break the Cao army, can't it be the enemy of my Jiangdong military horses? ”
Ling Tong's repeated questions made Sun Quan unable to answer, and he looked at Ling Tong in amazement for a long time, Sun Quan snorted coldly, and said to the ministers: "Disperse the dynasty for the time being, and leave the public achievements!" ”
Sun Quan said, the ministers all left the court, Ling Tong was in the hall, and Sun Quan looked at him without wanting to let him, Sun Quan looked at Ling Tong for a long time, sighed, and said to Ling Tong: "Gongji, what you said in Shicai, you know it all, but have you ever thought about it, if I Jiangdong no longer vibrates my momentum, Sun's position as Marquis of Wu, is difficult to guarantee?" ”
When Ling Tong heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and said to Sun Quan: "Why did the lord say this? ”
"Maybe in this troubled era, Sun Mou is not the master ......of the Ming Dynasty," Sun Quan sighed, and said to Ling Tong: "Gong Jin and Zi Jing, Zi Yi left one after another, above the court, there is no one who is dedicated to Sun, if there is no action at this time, how can he order the ministers in the future?" Have you ever seen a monarch who is despised by his ministers? ”
Ling Tong didn't know much about the art of power schemes, and now seeing Sun Quan's miserable face, he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, and said to Sun Quan: "Lord, I am not afraid of fighting with Jing Xiang, but the lord has a way to face Jing Xiang's revenge?" ”
Sun Quan saw that Ling Tong should fight with Jing Xiang, he was overjoyed, and said to Ling Tong: "Don't worry about public performance, if Hefei is broken, Jing Xiang has his own solitary way to deal with it, then the lord of Jing Xiang is also Sun's sister-in-law, and he should always sell Sun some face!"
