Chapter 547: The news of defeat came

The news of the Chibi fiasco soon reached the ears of Sun Quan, who was commanding the Wu army to fight in the mouth of the river, Sun Quan was standing on the side of the ship, very interested, and was planning the next attack on Hefei City, when he heard that Zhou Yu was defeated in Chibi, more than 50,000 steps to ride the whole army, Han Dang Huanggai was killed, and his eyes were suddenly dark, if it were not for the attendants around him to quickly support him, Sun Quan was afraid that he would have to rush into Chaohu Lake.

Sun Quan is crying bitterly, mourning Tao, not only lost the pain of Han Dang Huang Gai, but also the injury of 50,000 soldiers, the most painful thing for Sun Quan is that the defeat of Chibi may have completely ruined the possibility of getting involved in Jingzhou, the new official took office three fires, Sun Quan led Jiangdong at the beginning, this first fire was extinguished by Liu Ze, and Sun Quan's ambition to dominate the world was poured into his heart, and he couldn't help but be sad and cry bitterly.

Originally, Sun Quan commanded the army to attack Huainan, the purpose of which was to restrain Zhang Liao in Huainan to reinforce Jingzhou, but Sun Quan had the intention to turn this feint attack into a real attack, after all, taking Hefei is the dream of several generations of people in Jiangdong. But Zhang Liao is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others, several battles, Sun Quan did not get half a point of cheapness at all, but the loss of the army, suffered enough, and finally attacked the city of Hefei, in the face of Zhang Liao, who could not hold out, Sun Quan was even more worried, and even attacked several times in vain. Now that the news of the defeat of Chibi came, the Eastern Wu army was disheartened and no longer had the intention of fighting, so Sun Quan had no choice but to hurriedly withdraw his troops and retreat back to Jiangdong.

As soon as Hefei retreated, Sun Yi, who was besieging Guangling, naturally couldn't fight anymore, and withdrew his troops after him.

Cheng Pu, who was "sick" in Jianye, was originally happy to be idle in the house. Recuperating in peace, when the bad news of Han Huanggai's death came, Cheng Pu was anxious and angry, and the depression in his chest was blocked, this time he really fell ill. Cheng Pu and Han Dang Huang Gai, that is a fateful friendship, as early as when Sun Jian raised troops against Dong, they sacrificed their lives to follow, and for many years they fought on the battlefield, licking blood with knives. The friendship between the three has long gone beyond the scope of old friends in the robe. Unexpectedly, this parting turned out to be a different path for people and ghosts, and Cheng Pu was in tears.

For Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu is jealous and hateful. Relying on his friendship with Sun Ce, he is irreversible. Zhou Yu's position in the Jiangdong Army was rising steadily. At the time of Sun Ce, he was already standing side by side with Cheng Pu, which made Cheng Pu feel uncomfortable. Why should a hairy guy who has not yet had time to stand up be on an equal footing with him Cheng Pu? But after Sun Quan ascended the throne, Zhou Yu's status was promoted again, and he became the governor of the three armies, and rode directly on Cheng Pu's head, Cheng Pu was extremely depressed, and simply came to a sick couch and refused to obey the order, Zhou Yu led his troops into the Chibi front, Cheng Pu was recuperating at home, happy to be at ease, out of sight and out of mind.

But after falling ill this time, Cheng Pu did not stay sick on the couch, but dragged his sick body to see Sun Quan.

As soon as Sun Quan returned to the Wuhou Mansion, his subordinates came to report to the deputy governor of Cheng to ask for a meeting. Cheng Pu deliberately couldn't get sick because he was pressed by Zhou Yu, Sun Quan was very clear, but Cheng Pu was an old minister and the pillar of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan was not easy to blame, so he turned a blind eye, this time Cheng Pu came, it must be for the defeat of Chibi, Sun Quan asked Cheng Pu to pass it on.

Cheng Pu looked sickly and cowardly, and with the help of his subordinates, he reluctantly came to the middle hall and gave Sun Quan a salute.

Sun Quan was taken aback, and looked at Cheng Pu's appearance, where he was pretending to be sick, and he was clearly ill, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said: "Cheng Gong is not in good health, he should rest in the mansion, why did he come in person?" ”

Cheng Pu said with a sad face: "Pu Yuan's body is fine, but he was shocked to learn that there was a defeat in Chibi, and he was sentimental, so his illness worsened, but although Pu was sick, there was such a shocking change in the country, how could Pu stay out of the matter, so he dragged his sick body to see the lord." ”

Sun Quan shrugged and said: "Cheng Gong is worried about national affairs, and he still does not forget the military situation in his illness, but it is a pity that in this Chibi battle, my Eastern Wu was indeed defeated, and it was a complete defeat, and the losses were heavy." ”

Cheng Pu said: "When I heard the news, I sighed at night, and I couldn't sleep at night, since Bofu, the foundation of Jiangdong has gradually stabilized, and the soldiers are full of food, which is the opportunity to expand the power of my Dongwu to the outside world, but I never thought that in the battle of Chibi, my 50,000 sons of Dongwu were folded in Jutie Mountain, and the elite was lost, how can it not be painful." Righteousness and justice are all old ministers who follow Lord Lingzun, and they have made great achievements for Jiangdong, and this time they died in Chibi, if the two of them are not skilled in martial arts, they should be in this place, and Puzi has nothing to say. But Han and Huang are the most famous brave generals in Jiangdong, experienced in a hundred battles, and have broken through in the wind and waves, how Chibi died in a battle, it was really a command error, and Liu Ze was mistakenly killed, and only then did he guide the righteous and righteous public to die in Chibi 50,000 Jiangdong children blood stained Jingjiang, Pu came to see the lord today with illness, just to ask the lord to ask for an explanation for the righteous and righteous two and the 50,000 soldiers who died in Chibi. ”

Sun Quan pondered for a moment, Cheng Pu's spearhead was obviously aimed at Zhou Yu, indeed in this battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief, so he naturally has an unshirkable responsibility, if he wants to be investigated, Zhou Yu must be mainly responsible. Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu have never been on good terms, and this time, taking advantage of the defeat of Chibi, Cheng Pu must not be relentless, and he must overthrow Zhou Yu.

Cheng Pu saw that Sun Quan was hesitating, so he said: "Pu has always been at odds with the governor of Zhou, everyone in the Eastern Wu army knows it, but Pu's request for his life is not for personal grievances, Zhou Dudu is the commander-in-chief, and the army was defeated in Chibi, this responsibility cannot be shirked. ”

Sun Quan had no choice but to say: "What Cheng Gong said is very true, a certain should be considered, Cheng Gong is sick, and he does not dare to stay in the public for a long time, so it is better to go back to the house to rest as soon as possible." ”

Cheng Pu bowed his hand and retired. As soon as Cheng Pu walked on the front foot, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong came together.

Sun Quan welcomed him into the middle hall, and the two sides took their seats. Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong came, naturally it was also about the defeat of the front, the bad news of the front line came, and the entire Jiangdong fell into a gloomy cloud, Zhang Zhao's words were fierce, and the spearhead was sharper than Cheng Pu's, directly accusing Zhou Yu of being incompetent and not listening to the words of good and virtuous, so there was such a fiasco.

"Zhuge Kongming's strategy of dividing the river and ruling has been approved by the lord before, but Gong Jin insisted on going his own way and refused to adopt it, but wanted to behead it to show the public, Gong Jin's unwise move for a while, trapped our army in danger, Chibi was defeated, and the army was defeated, if the lord did not hold him accountable, I am afraid that no one in Jiangdong could accept it."
