Chapter 316: Blue-Eyed is deflated
Wu County, in the study of Wu Hou Mansion.
Sun Quan sat on the main seat, and Lu Su sat on the side. Sun Quan's face was expressionless, but near a pair of turquoise eyes, there were bloodshots, blood red and blood red.
Lu Su's face was not good-looking.
Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.
Moling was lost, which was expected and unexpected.
It was expected that it was because the city was too big, there were too few guards, and Zhuge Jin was not a fierce general, so there was no cohesion.
So it was expected, but Jiang Qin didn't show up, which was unexpected.
Now the matter of the loss of Moling has not spread in Jiangdong, but sooner or later the news will come out, and those scholars in Jiangdong have their own sources of information.
In the north and south of the Yangtze River, countless cities and ferries were broken and burned. This is something even more serious than the loss of the four cities of Jiujiang.
If the news of Da Qiao's captivity spreads again. Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, I'm afraid he really has no face to live in the world.
inherited the inheritance of his father and brother, and in the end, he couldn't even keep his brother's wife. What to do Hou, what to call a general.
The loss of Moling has too much impact, too much. It's so big that Sun Quan can't bear it, and he doesn't dare to bear it.
Think about it, it's only been a few days since the merchant ship intercepted Liu Feng, less than a month. At the beginning, he was greedy for a while, and he relied on the strength of the navy army to swallow the waterway alone.
Now this retribution is countless losses, cities, ferries, ships, civil servants and military generals and widows.
If there is really retribution in this world, it will come too quickly, too ruthlessly, too suddenly.
Regret it? I really regret it. Why did Jiang Qin discover merchant ships in the first place? Just let Liu Feng's merchant ships sail silently on the sea and sell horses with Liaodong.
There would not have been such a big loss today.
Whether it was Sun Quan or Lu Su, they were filled with remorse in their hearts at this moment.
It's just that Sun Quan has not only remorse, but also anger.
"Jiang Qin, why didn't Jiang Qin show up?" Sun Quan's blood-red eyes let out a low roar, this roar seemed to have exhausted Sun Quan's strength, causing Sun Quan's chest to rise and fall violently, and a heavy gasp came from his mouth and nose, like a wounded beast.
Lu Su was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he felt that if he didn't expose it, it would be revealed sooner or later. couldn't help sighing, raised his fist and said, "Lord, I'm afraid General Jiang won't be able to come back." ”
"Can't come back? What does that mean? Sun Quan didn't react for a moment and asked.
"The sea is very windy and rough, and few people go out to sea, except for some coastal fishing villages. Even if General Chiang was sitting on a warship from Liaodong, it was still risky. It's been so long since General Chiang went to sea, but General Chiang still hasn't returned, I'm afraid. Lu Su said euphemistically.
It's not that Lu Su didn't think that Jiang Qin would encounter an army or something at sea, but that was ridiculous. How could there be an army stationed at sea?
There are 1,000 soldiers taken away by Jiang Qin, how many people do you have to wipe out Jiang Qin?
Thousands? Ten thousand. No way.
Therefore, Lu Su felt that Jiang Qin might have encountered a storm at sea, which led to the annihilation of the entire army.
Sun Quan was stunned, really stunned. Although Sun Quan is known as Wu Hou, he also has a surname of Shui. But he had never been to the sea, and he didn't know much about the sea.
It is only known that the sea is strong enough to swallow the ship.
However, Sun Quan knew from the sailors in Liu Feng's merchant ships that Liu Feng's merchant ships had crossed the sea three times before and after, connecting the trade between Liaodong and Jiangxia.
The three times everyone was safe, and Sun Quan ignored the risks at sea.
Therefore, Sun Quan never thought that Jiang Qin would be destroyed at sea, even if Jiang Qin did not return on time, Sun Quan did not think deeply.
But now Lu Su has broken this possible surname in one word. Although Sun Quan didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't want to believe that Jiang Qin's 1,000 elite soldiers were actually lost by the wind and waves at sea.
But deep down, Sun Quan slowly believed it.
and a thousand elite soldiers, and lost a wise general.
At this moment, Sun Quan's mental ability to bear it finally failed.
At this time, Sun Quan was only in his twenties, and he was not the famous Emperor Wu in later generations. His city is deep, but not yet unfathomable. The face is thick and dark, but it is not to the point where you can still smile and talk after being humiliated.
"Lone wants to wash away the shame with Liu Feng's blood, and Lone wants to use Liu Feng's head to pay tribute to Jiang Qin's spirit in the sky." Sun Quan stood up suddenly, his eyes were blood-red and scary, and he gritted his teeth.
Sun Quan's gaffe, Lu Su saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but be startled. But I don't know what Lu Su moves.
Sun Quan said word by word: "Ordered Cheng Pu to lead Han Dang, Huang Gai, Ding Feng and other generals, with an army of 20,000, to Yuzhang and Gongjin rounds." Crusade against Jiangxia. ”
"My lord, no." Lu Su was taken aback, the last time Zhou Yu attacked Jiangxia, he lost thousands and broke Pan Zhang. I remember it vividly.
Now Liu Feng's army totaled 28,000 people, and it was already an army capable of fighting after several months of rest. Plus sitting on the city of Chaisangjian.
This time, it may be another loss of troops.
It would be nice if the lost troops could capture Jiangxia, but if the troops were lost, they would not be able to capture Jiangxia. That's a big loss. Moreover, Lu Su had other reasons why he could not attack Liu Feng.
"Why not? Is he only allowed to attack Jiangdong, but not to send troops to Jiangxia alone? "Gaffe, Sun Quan at this moment has completely lost his temper.
This sentence is completely like a child's anger. But the hatred in it is as deep as the sea.
A pair of blood-red eyes, glowing with a monstrous aura.
"If Gan Ning can break through the river defense once, he can have a second time. Secondly, Mrs. Qiao is in Liu Feng's hands, if this news spreads all over the world, the lord's face will not exist. Moreover, Jiangdong is no longer able to fight. If the army is dispatched, the most important food, we will not be able to continue to follow. Lu Su said helplessly.
Jiangdong's grain was originally small, and it was sold to Liu Feng a lot. The suppression of Yamakoshi used up a lot. Now Gan Ning has set fire and burned down I don't know how many cities and ferries.
In particular, there were 100,000 stone of grain stored in the Moling, and all of them were burned to the ground.
Now Jiangdong's embarrassment is that there are elite soldiers, but there is no food.
"So don't you want to swallow this humiliation?" Sun Quan stayed for a moment and said decadently.
It's like a deflated ball, and the whole body is weak.
"Definitely. This humiliation cannot be washed away today. But that doesn't mean you can't do it. Lu Su shook his head firmly and said.
"Zijing is saying?" At this moment, Sun Quan has completely lost the ability to think, Lu Su's words are like a life-saving straw, Sun Quan looked at Lu Su deadly, waiting for the following.
"The strength of Liu Feng's naval army depends on the benefits of warships. And the shape of its warship is too obvious, as long as you ask the shipwright to develop it. Not for one year, just two years. Two years is not enough, five years. Five years will not work, ten years. ”
"And we, although we don't have food and grass today, we will have it next year. At that time, the horse infantry army was excellent, and there was countless grain and grass. Defeat Jiangxia Ling. ”
"These two things are fully developed. It is possible to eliminate Liu Feng and wash away the shame. ”
Lu Su put forward two development outlines, with clear ideas and clear conditioning.
Sun Quan gradually calmed down when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded deeply.
Lu Su is right, there are only two difficulties now. As long as these two difficulties are overcome, Jiangdong's power will still be higher than Liu Feng's.
Engage it with a good chance of winning.
"Five years, ten years, I can afford to wait." Sun Quan hid the shame in his eyes, hidden it deep in the depths, and nodded.
Seeing that Sun Quan had finally calmed down, Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, whether these two points can be realized depends on the sky, whether Liu Feng's warship can be imitated is one of them, and the other is that Shanyue's rebellion should not break out.
The inexhaustible fight and the elimination of the Shanyue people who are not too late is the biggest factor restricting the development of Jiangdong.
There is no bottom in my heart. But at this moment, Lu Su knew that the key was to cheer for Sun Quan. lest Sun Quan be decadent in the first war.
completely lost the self-confidence that Wu Hou should have.
After seeing Sun Quan calm down, Lu Su thought in his heart about how to persuade Sun Quan to resolve the war as soon as possible.
Now Liu Fengqiang and the navy are going down the river and can conquer the city at will. They are weak. You have to be soft.
Although the words are high-sounding and the tone is very thick. What will come to come. But it can't change the fact that Jiangdong is weak now.
At this point, Lu Su is very sensible.
"For the sake of the future, we must first put up with it for the time being." Lu Su pondered for a moment in his heart and used the more euphemistic word forbearance.
In fact, it is just soft.
"Our warships are too weak, not to mention anything else, as long as Ganning goes down the river once a year, we can't bear it. And to make Liu Feng give up this advantage, it is the fairway. We gave him the right to cross Jiangdong and go to Liaodong. Keep trading. to persuade Liu Feng not to attack Jiangdong with an army. That's our only advantage. Because the new warship without sails could not go by sea. Lu Su seized the only advantage on their side, and said.
It's also pitiful to say, Jiangdong has been beaten by Liu Feng's army, and there is only a little power left.
Take control of that large territory. But there is no territory, and there is no ability to collect taxes. Seeing such a big business opportunity, it is necessary to cheap Liu Feng.
Since Sun Ce dominated Jiangdong, the situation in Jiangdong is now the most pitiful.
"Isn't this a bow? In that battle, what kind of strength is it to fight alone. Under the case, Sun Quan clenched his fists and was unwilling.
I think that at the beginning, Liu Feng sent Jiang Wan to negotiate trade with them with Liaodong. But he called himself sick and let Lu Su send him away.
At the beginning, he was proud of himself and was strong, and he didn't take Liu Feng in his eyes.
Now that the war is together, it is clear who is strong and who is weak. At this time, he had to send envoys to Jiangxia in a low voice to discuss the route.
It's not. It's not. Do you make a mistake yourself?
"In ancient times, the king of Yue Gou practiced lying on his salary and tasted courage, and the lord should be a sage. For the future. Lu Su said earnestly.
Sun Quan's face was blue and white, and his fists were squeezed tightly, and his nails were almost inserted into the flesh. After a long time, after a long time, Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm lonely." ”
In the past, it was Jiang Dong who bullied Jiang Xia, but now Jiang Xia is showing off his power in turn.
The situation is stronger than people, but what, no one.
