Chapter 364: The Jiangdong Army Retreats

After the first battle, it can be said that there is no winner or loser between the two sides, of course, it is said that there is no winner or loser, but in fact, the strength of Wei Tao's side is better.

However, at this time, Wei Tao no longer paid attention to this matter, but what Wei Tao wanted to pay attention to was how Sun Quan was now.

In fact, as Zhou Yu said, Sun Quan was already quietly preparing to leave at this time, and many big ships had no longer paid attention to Wei Tao at all, and they were all anchored outside Jiangxia City.

"Gong Jin, this Sun Quan has really given up this city, it seems that our army can easily go down."

After all, he got Jiang Xia, and after making up his mind, Wei Tao had already become very relaxed, but at this time, he said to Zhou Yu with a smile.

"But I don't know that this Sun Quan can stalemate with our army for a few days, and today's morale has been lowered until it is understood, and our army commander will drive in, and it will definitely be broken in one fell swoop! At that time, Sun Quan is afraid that he will steal chickens and rice! ”

Wei Tao naturally didn't talk to Zhou Yu about this topic for no reason, but asked when Wei Tao should seize Jiangxia next.

But in the face of Wei Tao's question, Zhou Yu did not answer immediately, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly asked Wei Tao.

"Lord, what if Sun Quan comes to steal the camp at this time?"

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to ask like this, but after frowning slightly and thinking about it, Wei Tao found that this matter was extremely likely.

It can be said that he didn't expect that Sun Quan might come to steal the camp, so it is even more impossible for his subordinates to be prepared, once it is really like this, I am afraid that it will really make it successful in stealing the camp.

When the time comes, the camp will be in chaos. Even if Wei Tao is an elite soldier, I am afraid that he will be taken advantage of by the other party.

That's it. Even Wei Tao couldn't help frowning secretly. looked at Zhou Yu carefully and asked.

"Gong Jin really thinks so?"

"Today's battle is certainly to make his army angry, but if the Jiangdong Army goes away, won't it be laughed at by the world? If it is a stealing camp, then no matter whether it wins or loses, then Sun Quan will be greatly advantaged, once he succeeds in stealing the camp, then it can ensure that Jiangxia is still in his hands, even if he is defeated. can also retreat to Jiangdong, and he also has an explanation for his subordinates. ”

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, and said seriously to Wei Tao.

"And it's not just that, if this is a battle, then even if our army has a naval army, can we still pursue it? After the First World War, the advance and retreat were free, even if there was some damage, the gains were also on top of it, and the Jiangdong Army did fight a good calculation! ”

Listening to Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao could only smile slightly bitterly. When you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Sun Quan is indeed calculating, but even so. Our army can only be strictly guarded and not let it hurt our army in the slightest, as for setting up an ambush, I am afraid that Sun Quan will not be fooled. ”

Wei Tao and Zhou Yu both understood that if it was really as Zhou Yu expected, this plan must have been made by Na Lu Su, with that Lu Su's caution, after suffering the loss of Wei Tao's army, he would definitely be more cautious, and the ordinary ambush method was simply useless.

In fact, since Zhou Yu expected it, then the truth was mostly like this, as night fell, he saw Sun Quan's army quietly out of the camp and rushed straight to Wei Tao's camp.

And what is even more surprising is that Sun Quan's army did not directly lead the army to rush into the camp, after approaching the camp, he saw a group of archers walking to the front, and then they all bent their bows and arrows, and naturally someone next to them held a torch to ignite the arrow in front of him, and then let go, he saw countless fire rains falling into the camp.

Rocket attack camp, in this way, although it is not as powerful as directly rushing into the camp, but if there is an ambush, it will naturally come out as soon as it is tried.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, seeing that there was not the slightest chaos in Wei Tao's camp, Sun Quan's army immediately retreated.

"This Sun Quan is really shrewd, several armies came, and the momentum was huge, but he said that he would retreat, and he preserved his own army by losing a little morale, which is extraordinary."

Wei Tao sighed slightly, speaking of Sun Quan's actions, it was really amazing, but soon Wei Tao shook his head slightly.

"However, there are pros and cons to this move after all, although it can be preserved for a while, it is impossible to save it for a while, and Cao Cao's evaluation of it is really not bad."

Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou.

This Sun Quan can really only be like a descendant, and it is indeed possible to guard the family business, but between the decisive battle and the two armies, the battle for the world cannot be done.

"Huh...... I want to congratulate the lord on his happiness. ”

Zhou Yu on the side did not sigh as much as Wei Tao, but said with a smile.

"With Sun Quan's actions, presumably tomorrow Jiang Xia will open the city gate to welcome the lord! In this way, there is no need for the lord to spend any more troops. ”

In fact, although Wei Tao led the army to stay outside the camp for a night as a precaution, it was not a small gain compared to the gains.

The next day, all the Jiangdong troops boarded ships and retreated to Jiangdong, and Wei Tao took the city lightly.

I have to say that the Jiangdong Army's movements were extremely fast, and they were inspected all the way, and the people of Jiangxia were almost nothing, not to mention other things and property.

In addition to the fact that there was no fire to burn this Jiangxia clean, there was not much difference between this Jiangxia and the ruins of an empty city.

Fortunately, Wei Tao didn't expect anything from here, and after occupying Jiangxia, Wei Tao naturally wanted to send a naval army to defend against Jiangdong attacks.

Wei Tao did intend to take Jiangdong directly, but obviously things could not be as Wei Tao meant.

As soon as Jiangxia was taken by Wei Tao again, then most of Jingzhou had already fallen into the hands of Wei Tao, plus Wei Tao's original territory, it can be said that Wei Tao had occupied half of China.

Even if Wei Tao is the king at this time, it can be said that it is a matter of course, and no one is unconvinced.

And this is still enough, among them, someone directly suggested that Wei Tao be the emperor!

"Smack!"

Wei Tao smiled slightly bitterly and dropped the letter in his hand.

"It has been a great achievement since ancient times, and everyone is counting on it today. The world has not yet been peaceful, that's it, so how can I say it? ”

Hearing Wei Tao's complaints, Zhou Yu could only be speechless.

Even if Zhou Yu's own prestige is not low, but even if he doesn't agree with this matter, he doesn't dare to oppose this matter openly, as Wei Tao said, this kind of great achievement, I don't know how many people are counting on it, if Zhou Yu gives them bad hopes, then there are many people who hate him, even if Zhou Yu is not good for a foothold in the future.

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, but he didn't force Zhou Yu, he knew Zhou Yu's difficulties.

However, Wei Tao really didn't want to be called the king and emperor.

You must know that the biggest difference between Wei Tao and Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others is that Wei Tao is now in the prime of life, even if he really wants to bury the big man, he doesn't need to rush this moment.

Now the name of the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty is indeed meaningless to Wei Tao, but Wei Tao still knows one thing: the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, even at this time, there are still people who are attached to it, really speaking, the time has not yet come.

It is the critical time to fight the world, and Wei Tao doesn't want to make these things his fetters.

"This matter will be discussed in the future, Gongjin is also a message for me, my Wei Tao is determined to expel foreign tribes and ensure that the people of mountains and rivers live in peace for all generations, how can I guarantee that then I will do it."

Wei Tao's words Zhou Yu understands very well, this is not that Wei Tao will not go further, but that now is not the time, if it is time to go further to better expel foreign enemies, then Wei Tao will naturally go further.

This is already Wei Tao's indication that there will definitely be a time when he will go further, and then the Liu family will naturally be replaced.

After all, Wei Tao is a human being in two lives, and he does not have Cao Cao's complicated thoughts.

In history, Cao Cao also had such a large territory, but even at that time, Cao Cao was vague on such a question, and in the end, he only said that he would be 'Duke of Zhou' and let his son decide.

This is a big failure in Wei Tao's view, so many ministers and generals help Cao Cao, among them there are people who are peaceful and prosperous, but there are also people who are for their own wealth, if even this emperor can not guarantee to take each other, then how to make his subordinates believe that their glory and wealth can be maintained for a long time?

It's just that Cao Cao's prestige in history is too high, and no one dares to point out to his face that after he is gone, his son will immediately ascend the throne as emperor, and that's it.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, with Wei Tao's words, some people can be relieved for the time being, and with Zhou Yu's wisdom, he can naturally calm those people down.

Having said this, Wei Tao naturally wants to return to the matter in front of him.

"Gong Jin, can this Jiangdong be taken down? You also know the situation in the world in front of you, that is, our army is the enemy of the three major princes, if it has been victorious, it is naturally the world can be determined, but if there is a defeat, then I am afraid that the situation will change greatly, from prosperity to decline. But if one side can be determined at this time, then it will determine the overall situation of the world, and then it will be up to me to calm the rivers and mountains one by one, rectify the forces of my Han family, expel foreign enemies, and let those grasslands and mountains and forests all become the living place of my Han family! ”

This is Wei Tao asking for advice, and it is also Wei Tao in Mingzhi.

Fang Jin Wei Tao has countless ministers and generals, but it is Zhou Yu who can really be trusted by Wei Tao the most, and only in front of Zhou Yu can Wei Tao be so careless and speak freely.

"Since the lord has this ambition, then he should be under Jiangdong, but after all, the Yangtze River moat is the Yangtze River moat, with such a barrier, even if Sun Quan didn't expect the lord to take Jiangdong directly, but it is not so easy to win this battle......"

Zhou Yu has thought about this several times, but he has never been able to do it.

For even Wei Tao, it is impossible to force it.

While the two were discussing, a guard came to report to Wei Tao.

"Lord Qi, General Lu Meng asked to see him, and said that he had something important to report to the general."

Lu Meng?

Slightly stunned, Wei Tao's heart jumped, isn't there any bad news?

"Hurry up, please!" (To be continued......)
