Chapter 35: The Enraged Jiangdong Army
"Bastard thing!! But a small Jinfan thief dares to insult me Jiangdong like this, it's too deceitful!! ”
In the Hukou camp, when Yu turned over and relayed Wang Chong's words in shock, it immediately caused the Jiangdong generals to be indignant, and they all shouted to make Wang Chong look good.
Only Sun Ce sat there with a depressed face, speechless for a long time.
"Bo Fu, I blame me for this, but I underestimated Wang Chong Xiao'er, I never thought that his reaction would be so fierce!" Zhou Yu's long face is like a crown of jade, and his hair is heroic, and he is indeed a rare beautiful man in the world.
Zhou Yu did not shirk his responsibility, in fact, it was exactly the case, from beginning to end, he never looked at Jinfan squarely.
In Zhou Yu's view, the Jiangdong army is mighty, and Jinfan is just a rogue in Poyang Lake, the gap between the two sides can be described as a world of difference.
At the same time, sending Zhou Tai to recruit Li Tao was a two-pronged strategy, even if Wang Chong did not surrender, Li Tao's rebellion could also cause Jinfan to collapse from the inside, so that Jiangdong could exterminate it at the lowest cost.
It's a pity that Zhou Yu underestimated Wang Chong's hardness and ambition, and at the same time, Li Tao's loyalty was completely beyond his expectations.
"Gong Jin, I don't blame you for this!" Sun Ce shook his head and was depressed, "Actually, that Wang Shaolin didn't scold wrong, it's been eight years since my father died, but now I still can't kill the enemy, it's really in vain!" ”
As soon as Sun Ce's words came out, the audience immediately fell into a dead silence, perhaps for Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Jiangdong veterans, the death of the old lord Sun Jian is an eternal pain in their hearts.
After a while, Sun Ce's eyes rose with a touch of firmness, as if he had made up his mind: "I have made up my mind, in three days, I will start an army to march west against Huang Zu, this time, we must take off Huang Zu's head to comfort my father's spirit in the sky!" ”
"Bo Fu, never!" Zhou Yu was anxious when he heard this, "Now that the Yuzhang is undecided, Liu Xun is eyeing him in the north, and Jinfan is in the south to cause trouble in Poyang, it is not the best time to send troops to Jiangxia!" ”
"Zhou Yu, what do you mean!?" Huang Gai slapped the table case fiercely, and said angrily, "Hua Xin doesn't know about military affairs, and he has no courage to send troops to intervene; Jinfan is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and it is not painful and itchy; As for Liu Xun, the lord sent troops to avenge the old lord, which is justified, he is afraid that he will not obstruct it too much, why can't we send troops to Jiangxia? What are you trying to do!? ”
The current Zhou Yu has only joined the Jiangdong Army for a long time, and his prestige in the army is not very high, and the reason why he can quickly gain a foothold is only by virtue of his friendship with Sun Ce, and Huang Gai is a veteran of the two dynasties, even if Zhou Yu later became the governor of the capital, he is just as scolded, not to mention now.
Zhou Yu's face turned red, and he simply stopped talking, because he knew that no matter how much he said, Sun Ce would not change his mind, and the generals in the army would not agree, after all, Wang Chong's words were too lethal, and at this time, the whole army was holding their breath, wanting to capture Jiangxia as soon as possible and kill Huang Zu to correct Sun Ce's name.
"Damn Wang Shaolin, I underestimated you, what a trick to lead the water to the east!"
Zhou Yu already hated Wang Chong with itchy teeth, Wang Chong used Yang Mou this time, and his contempt for Sun Ce just poked at the sore spot of the Jiangdong Army, even if they knew that Wang Chong was using a trick to provoke them to attack Huang Zu, they had no other choice at all.
"But don't worry, I won't let you get what you want!" Zhou Yu sneered in his heart.
Zhou Yu sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, as General Gongfu said, the person who is a brocade fan, the disease of ringworm, but if it is not treated as soon as possible, when the disease spreads, it will not be so easy to deal with it again, and now the other party is just under the nose of our others, you might as well get rid of it, and it will save unnecessary trouble in the future." ”
Gu Laijun humiliated his ministers to death, although Wang Chong's strategy this time was very successful, but at the same time it also aroused the resentment of the Jiangdong generals against him, and now Zhou Yu proposed to destroy Jinfan first, which immediately aroused the resonance of the whole army.
Sima Chen Wu of the other department said: "What General Zhou said is very true, this Wang Chong has bullied my Jiangdong so much, if you don't give him some color to see, where will I put the face of my Jiangdong Army in the future?" ”
Dong Xi, who is also Sima of other departments, echoed: "Didn't he let us let the horse go?" Then let's do what he wants, and see what he is capable of! ”
Zhichong Zhonglang General Tai Shici stepped forward to ask for an order: "I am willing to ask for it with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, if I can't take off Wang Chong's head, I am willing to deal with it by military law!" ”
The veteran Huang Gai was not to be outdone: "The Jinfan thief is arrogant and domineering, Gai is willing to make a military order, and he will not return the army if he does not destroy Jinfan, and I implore the lord for approval!" ”
Subsequently, the rest of the generals also petitioned, and the scene was quite noisy, Sun Ce rubbed his temples, a little annoyed.
In fact, Sun Ce still admires Wang Chong very much, in the final analysis, this matter is mainly because they Jiangdong is not authentic enough, which will cause Wang Chong to be very dissatisfied, but now the crowd is indignant, if they do not send troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people.
"Gongjin, what do you think?" Sun Ce asked Zhou Yudao.
Zhou Yu thought for a while: "This Wang Chong can gather more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in just a few months, I am afraid that there are some means, and I just heard from Youping to report, it is said that their whole army is fully equipped, the army is neat and tidy, it seems that they are not ordinary thieves, we must not take it lightly." ”
"Well, what Gong Jin said is very true." Sun Ce nodded thoughtfully, and then his expression was solemn, "The generals will listen to the order!" ”
"No!"
"This time, 20,000 troops and horses will be dispatched, with Huang Gai as the commander, Tai Shici as the deputy general, Zhou Yu as the military advisor, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Xu Kun, Ling Cao, Sun Ben, Sun Fu and six generals will go out with the army, and we must destroy Jinfan in one battle!"
"No!"
"Lord!" Seeing that Sun Ce's list did not have his own name, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin glanced at each other and got up to go out of the ranks, "The two of us are willing to go on the expedition with General Gongfu!" ”
Seeing this, Sun Ce smiled: "Youping, Gongyi, I am afraid that the two of you are not going to destroy Jinfan, but to save your brother who was born in the Jiujiang Army with you, right?" ”
Sun Ce said that 'Jiu**' was 'Jiujiang Army', which is enough to show his respect for the two.
Zhou Tai's face struggled for a moment: "Lord, although Boyun's martial arts are mediocre, but he has quite a set of marching and fighting, I hope that the lord will spare his life, and the two of us will persuade him to defect to Jiangdong and serve the lord!" ”
At this time, Chen Wu, who had a good relationship with Zhou Tai, interjected and said: "Don't worry, Youping, since Li Tao is your brother, I should personally take action to capture him alive and come back to see you!" ”
Zhou Tai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thanked: "In this way, thank you Zilie!" ”
Sun Ce is known as the 'little overlord', and his personality is naturally as strong as the overlord, once a decision is made, it is difficult to change it, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are also very clear that the reason why they still have to come out to ask is to hope that the generals who go out can save Li Tao's life in their face, so as to fulfill the affection between their brothers.
When the crowd dispersed, Sun Ce kept Huang Gai, Tai Shici and Zhou Yu, and explained: "Gongfu, Ziyi, Gongjin, I hope you remember that this expedition does not have to be killed, if possible, it is best to capture Wang Chong, Gan Ning, and Li Tao. ”
"No!"
At this time, the three of them also figured out that Wang Chong's reprimand of Sun Ce made Sun Ce have a strong interest in him, but in this way, their task was undoubtedly more difficult.
