~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The battle between the Dragon Wolf Army and the Jiangdong Army at Xiakou, the latter suffered a devastating blow. Nearly 10,000 elites of the Jiangdong Army died, escaped, captured, and surrendered. Of the hundreds of warships, half were sunk, and the rest were captured by the dragon and wolf army. When Xiakou, a strategic place, was taken by the Dragon Wolf Army, leaving the last undefended city, the people were panicked and the city was broken.

In the middle of June, the dragon and wolf army with the power of great victory, hundreds of ships set out together, thousands of sails were lifted, and the south crossed against the current, and Chen Bing was on the bank of the river.

Xun You, on behalf of the commander of the dragon and wolf and the general Ma Han, entered the city to persuade him to surrender. Of course, the object of this persuasion is no longer Sun Quan, but the Jiangdong families, and the Sun family is only one of them.

When the battle reached this point, there was no need to continue, and the Jiangdong family would no longer support the Sun family, so Xun You's persuasion this time was completed.

On June 20, represented by Zhang Zhao, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Li Shu, Cheng Pu, Yu Tuo, Ling Tong and other important ministers of the family successively went out of the city to meet the general to show their sincerity in surrendering. Soon, another important figure, Sun Jing, the patriarch of the Sun family, also represented the Jiangdong Sun family and handed over the seals, registers, and tables to the generals.

At this point, the Jiangdong forces fully surrendered, and the dragon and wolf southern expedition ended perfectly.

Why did Sun Jingfeng surrender the table? The reason is sighing - Sun Quan is critically ill, and Zhou Yu is dismissed.

Even though Sun Quan is not as fierce as the dragon and tiger of his brother Xiaobawang, he is also a person who can shoot a tiger with a halberd, and he is young and strong, no matter how sad and depressed he is, at most he will be sick, how can he be critically ill? The truth is that the word "seriously injured" must be added before becoming critically ill.

On the same day, Xiakou Tianhuo missile. Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, and Jiang Qin were all hit, among which Zhou Tai was the most seriously injured, and he has not been out of danger until now. Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were both wounded by flesh and skin, and Sun Quan was also hit - but the bad thing was that his luck was too bad, Huang and Jiang Erjun were both hit by hands and feet, and it would be fine if they were pulled out, and they didn't even need to bandage the wounds, but Sun Quan was "bulleted" in the abdomen.

Sun Quan was reluctant to say anything in order to stabilize the morale of the army at that time, and he couldn't bear it when he got on the boat. Before he reached Shaxian, he passed out. He was urgently sent to a secret base in Puqi Lake, 30 miles south of Shaxian, and asked for medical rescue. The reason why he was not sent back to Shaxian City was that Zhou Yu deliberately blocked the news, so as not to deal a fatal blow to the military spirit on the verge of collapse.

Sun Quan was in a coma for three days and three nights before he woke up. But this awakening is not a sign of improvement, because it is painfully awakened.

Sun Quan's situation is similar to that of the later era of thermal weapons, when shrapnel or grenade fragments from exploding shells were struck into the body and had to be surgically removed. Otherwise, the prognosis is dangerous. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was only one person in the world who could perform this laparotomy, and this person was the holy hand of surgery. But Hua Tuo has no fixed place to live. Traveling all over the world, with the backwardness of information collection and transportation in this era, it has not been a year and a half, and I don't want to find a real person.

Therefore, the doctors and workers could only watch the wound become infected and suppurated. The injury continued to worsen, and finally Sun Quan woke up from pain.

After Sun Quan woke up, he also knew that his fate would not be long in coming. His brother back then. The little overlord Sun Ce, but his face was opened, and the old wound burst and died. Now he has a hole in his abdomen, he is burning inside, his fever does not go away, every breath is like being cut by a sharp saw, as if he is in purgatory--such a situation, every day he lives, he suffers from sin. Even so, there is not much chance of sinking, because you will choke at any moment.

When Sun Jing held the talisman and lowered the table to the general on the riverbank outside the city to apologize for his sins and ask for surrender, Sun Quan on the shore of Puqi Lake was dying and held Zhou Yu's hand: "Gong Jin, with the talent of the king, you will have to reuse it when you go out of Luoyang...... Ahem......"

In just a few days, Jiangdong Zhoulang has turned from heroic to haggard, his appearance is pale, and a trace of hoarfrost has appeared on his sideburns. You know, he was only twenty-seven years old at this time.

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Yu was entrusted by the ancestors, and he was unswerving. Although Ma Han is a hero, there is a phenomenon of chaos and obstruction of the king, if he enters the palace, there will be a bloody storm. Although Luoyang is good, it is not a place for us to stay, so it is okay not to go. ”

Even though Sun Quan was dying, he was shocked when he heard it: "Ma Han...... cough cough cough ...... He ......"

Zhou Yu sneered: "Jiangdong is subdued, Fang is down today, who else can compete with Ma Yan?" Liu Biao of Jingzhou, the generation of the guard, and the old man, his sons and nephews are all the generation of guinea dogs. The horse is so powerful that a letter can make him bow down. Liu Zhang, Yizhou, is weak and unscrupulous, acts in accordance with government decrees, and benefits more from the state family. Ma Han only needs to send a man who can speak well to Chengdu to divide and disintegrate, and promise a lot of profits, then he can say surrender. The two states are flat, and the west is controlled by the Ma family, and the world can be one. It's just that how should the court reward such a highly meritorious general? ”

Sun Quan is also a person who has been the lord for more than a year, and when he sits in this position, it is natural to think about things from the perspective of the superior, and he naturally thinks of his suspicion of Zhou Yu at the beginning. In addition to being ashamed, he was also convinced by Zhou Yu's analysis. Indeed, even a lord like him was afraid of being as strong as Zhou Yu. The power of Ma Hu is a hundred times better than Zhou Yu, how can the Son of Heaven, who still doesn't know where he is, face this behemoth-like powerful general?

Since ancient times, ministers are stronger than kings, which one will have a good end? Ma Han doesn't look like a loyal minister, but is more similar to a man like him who has different ambitions and takes advantage of the chaos to rise. After the victory of the southern expedition and the return to Luoyang in the north, this arrogant general will definitely have a fierce collision with the new monarch. As Zhou Yu said, the blood-colored sun is not a place for gentlemen to stay.

"In this way, how should Gong Jin deal with himself?"

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently: "It is difficult to achieve the ambition of life, why not climb to the top." After that, Yu closed his door and thanked the guests, settled in the mountains, and did not ask about the world. ”

Sun Quan coughed violently again, only to feel dizzy, his breath gradually confused, and he forced out the last sentence: "Old mother and young brother, ...... Entrusted to the public ...... Gong Jin ......"

"The mother and brother of the ancestor and the lord are also the mother and brother of Yu." Zhou Yu solemnly knelt down and bowed, and solemnly promised, "Lord but please rest assured, Yu will do everything in his power to keep the mother and younger brother safe." Lord...... Lord! ”

In the mournful cry of Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, the future lord of Wu, who had not yet shown his majestic posture, died suddenly on the shore of Puqi Lake, thirty miles south of Shaxian, which was later known as Chibi.

Since then, Zhou Yu has really kept his promise, and has refused Ma Han's recruitment many times and refused to leave the office. Climbing mountains with beauty all day long, sending love to the mountains and rivers, never mentioning political affairs, and actually lived for more than 20 years, far exceeding the original life limit.

In July, the southern expedition began. Ma Han stayed Taishi Ci as Jiangxia Taishou, garrisoned 10,000 troops, packed up his hands and tails, and led an army of 30,000 dragons and wolves to return north. However, the route of Ma Han's return to the north was not to return along the original road, but to enter the Han River and go north along the river.

Judging from the route, there is nothing wrong with this way. The army went upstream, passed through Jingling, entered Nanjun, passed through Yicheng and Xiangyang, and soon entered Nanyang. From Nanyang back to Luoyang, it will take ten days and eight days. This is the fastest route back to Luoyang in the north, and the whole journey is only more than 2,000 miles. The only problem is that it passes through Xiangyang, which is Liu Biao's base camp.

Ma Han's step, anyone who is not blind can see that this is taking advantage of the victory of the Southern Expedition, hugging the grass to beat rabbits, Jiangdong Sun's family, Jingzhou Liu's family, all one guy to solve it.

……

Mid-autumn has passed in August, the weather is getting cooler, but the atmosphere in the Xiangyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion Hall is dull and depressing. After listening to the battle between the Dragon and Wolf Southern Expeditionary Army and the Jiangdong Army that took place in Xiakou, every Jingzhou military general present raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat from time to time, as if the meteor rain was coming.

Kuai Liang stopped silent for a long time, the hall has been silent, everyone's heart is heavy, and they are all thinking about the same question: if outside Xiangyang City, tens of thousands of dragon and wolf troops are waiting for it, hundreds of trebuchets are lined up, the furnaces on both sides are blazing, and iron balls are thrown into flames, and when they are clamped out, they are red and on fire...... Can they stop it?

"This is a copy of the general's military report to the imperial court, and a copy was specially sent to Xiangyang, can you know what it means?" It was Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, who spoke at this time, who was sixty years old, and although he was covered with a thin powder on his face, he couldn't hide the few conspicuous old age spots, and his eight-foot long body was also slightly rickety-as Zhou Yu said, drooping old age.

Cai He, the governor of the Jingzhou Navy Army, said: "The Dragon and Wolf Army returned to the north, and it was a shortcut to take Jingzhou, for fear that our army would attack it, so I would use this to deter me, so that I would not commit any offense, and supply ...... along the way."

Liu Pan, the nephew of Liu Biao and the governor of Changsha, said coldly: "Brother Cai's meaning, the dragon and wolf army will go around the city?" ”

Cai He flickered: "Presumably so." ”

At this time, Liu Cong, a young son who was only thirteen years old, but had already participated in politics, sat at the head of Liu Biao, and said loudly in a childish voice when he heard the words: "This is to force people with momentum, and to cut down people with false ways." ”

Liu Biao stroked the top of the young man's head dotingly, and said lightly: "Even a young man knows what he wants, Ziping thinks that he has lived in peace for too long, and he is happy and forgetful." ”

Cai He's face was scornful. The generals in the hall were also speechless, and everyone was as if they were mirrors in their hearts, which was Cai He's sluggishness, and it was clearly the intention of welcoming the general. And this is also the common idea of all the forces in Jingzhou here, but it is inconvenient to say it.

Liu Qi proposed: "Why don't we gather skilled craftsmen and make that trebuchet as well, wouldn't it be able to counter the dragon and wolf army?" ”

Everyone was speechless, the idea sounded like that, but how could such a large ordnance be so easy to imitate? No drawings, no physical objects, no clues. What's worse is that the fleet of people's armies is coming from hundreds of miles away, and it is only then that the construction starts, and the whole thing is just toys.

Liu Biao waved his hand: "The dragon and wolf are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the general is the pro-clan of the clan, so don't make a mistake." The meaning of the table is that I just want to ask you to conspire together, which can not only allow the dragon and wolf army to cross the border safely, but also ensure the peace of our river. ”

Everyone looked at each other, this is too demanding, minister...... Can't do it!

For a whole moment, no one said a word, and the atmosphere was depressed again, until it was broken by a hasty report from outside the mansion.

"Report - Wancheng Zhang Xiu, waving 5,000 troops, raiding Xinye, and capturing the city in half a day. At this time, with Duwei Hu Che'er as the vanguard, he rode 3,000 feet and rushed towards Xiangyang! ”

Bang dang - Liu Biao pushed down the case, and fell silently: "Zhang Xiu mistook me!" (To be continued......)
