Chapter 817: Foundation (2nd Update)
At the mouth of the Whiskers, the wide river was a mess, littered with broken ship boards, shields, battle flags, and corpses.
The drums of war gradually stopped, a vicious battle just ended, more than 20,000 elite Wu army sailors were defeated in front of the 30,000 Jiaozhou sailors who traced the river, although they surrounded the Jiaozhou sailors from both sides, in the face of the brutal collision of the Jiaozhou sailors, but they could not resist for too long, especially when the wind rose on the river, a building ship was overturned by the wind and waves, and the Jiaozhou sailors were safe and sound, when they galloped, the battle situation took a sharp turn, and the Jiaozhou sailors counterattacked successfully, and defeated the main force of the Wu army in one fell swoop.
The sailors stationed here are the elite of the eastern defense line of the Wu army, and they have repeatedly defeated Cao Cao who tried to cross the river, but they did not expect to suffer a big loss in front of a group of pirates and river thieves who had just been gathered, in the final analysis, because their warships were not as strong as their opponents, although the opponents only had two giant ships, they were invincible, and they were invincible, firmly controlling the rhythm of the entire battlefield.
The morale of the Wu army plummeted, many soldiers fell into the water, waiting for rescue, more soldiers are still on the boat, there are weapons in their hands, but there is no desire to fight, in the face of such an enemy, they can not find a way to crack, lost their fighting spirit.
The wind gradually rose, the waves gradually rose, and the giant ship swayed gently, as if shaking its shoulders proudly.
Zhou Yin sat in the flying house, hidden in the dark, looking at the high-spirited Zhuge Dan who was leaning on the railing outside, and couldn't help but feel a sense of envy in his heart. He fought the battle, but when he showed his face, it was Zhuge Dan and Xiahou Xuan, not because they wanted to rob him of his merits, but because he couldn't see the light. He didn't want Sun Quan to know that he had become Wei Ba's subordinate, and he was leading the Jiaozhou Navy Division to repeatedly break the Wu army. Now it has almost wiped out the elite sailors of the bearded army.
But he also knew that Wei Ba would not forget his exploits, and he would announce his exploits at any time, but it was not what he hoped for.
He didn't want his mother and sister to be harmed in any way.
The repeated defeats of the Wu army made him no longer have any hope for Sun Quan. There was nothing unusual about the tactics he used, it could even be said that he was just brute force, just using the powerful impact of the giant ship to constantly tear through the defenses of the Wu army, destroy their fighting spirit, and then those pirates and thieves swarmed up. Like a pack of greedy hungry wolves. Tear the Wu army to shreds.
A strong warship is the root of victory, there is no conspiracy in this, only strength. If there is a trick, it is just that Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Dan used these pirates to rob homes and houses along the coast. Collect grain and grass. As a matter of fact. It's more of a panic job. And not to solve the problem of food and grass. The Jiaozhou Naval Division, which had won consecutive battles, could solve most of the material supply problems with only those spoils, and in addition to this, it seemed that Wei Ba had also arranged other food reserves.
It's inside the state of Wu.
This is what surprised Zhou Yin the most. The issue of supplying rations for tens of thousands of people is not a trivial matter, and Wei Ba can do this matter so secretly, which shows how much internal response he has arranged within the Wu State. Zhou Yin even suspected that half of the Shu Han merchants who traveled along the Yangtze River might have been arranged by Wei Ba, and it was through their hands that Wei Ba hoarded enough grain and grass on both sides of Changsha.
He had seen a familiar figure appear on Xiahou Xuan's battleship many times.
Zhuge Dan walked in and looked at Zhou Yin with a smile: "Zhong Ying, don't be sad, Lingtang has already arranged it, and if necessary, you can take her out at any time." If you lose that bit of property, you will lose it, and you are still worried that the general will treat you badly? Look at a few of us, single to Jiaozhou, in the blink of an eye to settle down, which is not better than the original? Based on your military exploits, I believe that even if you ask for a beautiful island to be the owner, the general will not refuse. ”
Zhou Yinqiang laughed: "Thank you, General." ”
"Well, be relieved, the eldest husband should look at the world and make contributions, so why worry about the family business. The general is optimistic about you, and it took so much effort to get you out of Luling, and I am also optimistic about you, and I expect you to help me make new contributions. Zhuge Dan sat down, poured a glass of water and pushed it to Zhou Yin, and poured himself another glass: "Next, what should we do?" ”
Zhou Yin sat up straight and squinted his eyes: "After defeating the Wet Whisker Water Division, there is no longer any threat on the Yangtze River, and the general can go all the way up to Chaisang as long as he wants." Chaisang has a large camp of the Wu army, Sun Quan's zuihouliliang should be there, after controlling Chaisang, the general can continue to go up to Wuchang, or he can go south into Poyang, there is Yuzhang Shipyard in Poyang Lake, occupy Yuzhang Shipyard, and the lifeblood of Wu's naval division is in the hands of the general. ”
Zhuge Dan nodded and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the descendant of the Grand Governor, and the tricks go straight to the point." Sun Quan doesn't need you, it's the sky that wants to kill him, and he can't complain about others. ”
Zhou Yin couldn't help but sneer. "Cao Rui doesn't need you, I'm afraid that the sky is going to die, and I can't complain about others."
"That's it." Zhuge hahadaxiao: "Even Xiahou Taichu became the general of Shu Han, let alone me." You didn't see my clan brother Zhuge Zhi, as soon as I persuaded him to surrender, he readily agreed. This is what the hearts of the people want, and the will of heaven returns. ”
Zhou Yin was speechless. After Zhuge Zhi was captured, he surrendered without much tongue on Zhuge Dan, and now he is the vanguard of the charge, and he must rush to the front in every battle.
It seems that the state of Wu is really going to die. The sailors who relied on it collapsed one after another, but the Jiaozhou sailors who rushed for thousands of miles became stronger and stronger, snowballing to more than 30,000 people, and the destructive power was getting bigger and bigger, and it was in the hinterland of Wu State, and the blow to the morale of the people of Wu was probably even more serious than that of Wei Ba's main force.
Looking at the dark clouds rolling in the window and listening to the whistling of the wind in his ears, Zhou Yin seemed to see the Sun banner fall to the ground with a bang.
……
Sun Quan's face was like ashes, and his eyes were dull.
He asked Bu Qi and Lu Xun for advice, but Bu Qi was vague and said something, which was nothing more than empty words. Lu Xun didn't say empty words, but was real, but it was the same as not saying it. The king wants to fight, the minister is willing to be the vanguard, death does not spin, the king wants peace, and the minister obeys. It sounds impassioned, but it is not the result that Sun Quan wants.
None of them would make a decision, not even a suggestion. But their attitude is actually very clear, don't fight, accept Shu Han's conditions, they can't beat at all. Beating is also self-inflicted humiliation.
Sun Quan had actually expected this outcome. Buqi since that year was defeated by Zhao Tong, thousands of miles after the pursuit of the vitality, now there are less than 10,000 people, stationed in Xiling, facing the three-way threat of the Shu Han army, he is trembling, walking on thin ice. Lu Xun now has 30,000 or 40,000 people, but he has to defend against Cao Wei in the north and Meng Da in the south. Didn't dare to leave at all. It is even more impossible to go to Changsha to fight. Faced with this situation, what else could they do but suggest surrender?
The reason why they didn't say it was because none of them wanted to take on this responsibility, so they had to put the responsibility on themselves.
Who made him the king of Wu?
When you are forging ahead. The military generals are all in high spirits. All of them are competing to be the first. At least in terms of mentality, he is positive, and he dares to take responsibility and is willing to be a meritorious person. When you lose and retreat again and again. Everyone will have the mood of retreat and refuse to take the responsibility of losing power and humiliating the country. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Sun Quan felt the breath of death at this moment, the breath of death of Da Wu, just like a person is old, although he is not dead, but the smell of corpses is already faintly smellable.
What's more, at this time, I also received the news of the fiasco of the water division.
Once the water is defeated, the Jiaozhou Sailor only needs three or five days to reach Chaisang, and Chaisang still has 30,000 people, but whether these 30,000 people can stop the Jiaozhou Sailor is still a question. Deng Ai of Luling is coerced by tens of thousands of Shanyue is heading north, Jiangxia is ready to move, if they meet with the Jiaozhou Sailor, the 30,000 people of Chaisang may not be able to win. Once Chaisang was lost and the Shu Han army took control of the Yuzhang Shipyard, the foundation of the Wu State Naval Division was emptied, and he never wanted to dominate in the water war.
Zhuge Jin hurriedly walked in, glanced at Sun Quan, and bowed in front of Sun Quan.
"Ziyu, what's the matter?" Sun Quan's eyes moved, and he was a little more angry.
"Great King......" Zhuge Jin was sweating profusely, his breath was short, I don't know if he was nervous, or he ran too quickly just now. Today is the deadline for zuihou, if you can't sign an agreement yet......"
Sun Quan's eyes rolled, revealing a bit of anger: "What can it be?" Can Wei Ba still destroy my country? If Ziyu is afraid, he can leave first. ”
Zhuge Jin kowtowed again and again: "The king, although the minister is not martial, he is willing to go to the soup with the king." Although the enemy is strong, Dawu Dingzu Jiangdong has been in Jiangdong for more than 30 years, and he will not die because of this, but the prince is in Yiyang, and the king has to pay attention to one or two. If Wei Ba attacked the city in anger, the prince was injured, and the king regretted it too late. The king, and endure the humiliation of the moment, waiting for his retribution. ”
The corners of Sun Quan's mouth twitched: "You're not worried about the prince, you're worried about your son Yuanxun, right?" ”
Zhuge Jin didn't know how to explain it, he felt that Sun Quan was angry and angry, and there were signs of madness.
Sun Quan also felt that he was a little out of shape, he was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Since this is the case, then listen to Ziyu's words." Invite Du Qiong into the palace, and admit defeat alone. ”
Zhuge Jin breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly got up. Sun Quan asked people to rush to the post house, invited Du Qiong and Fei Yi to enter the palace, signed an agreement, accepted a series of conditions put forward by Wei Ba and Li Feng, cut Changsha and Nanjun, withdrew Buqi's men and horses to Jiangxia, compensated Wei Ba for 20,000 gold for military expenses, and asked Wei Ba to immediately order to stop the attack.
After signing, Sun Quan took Fei Yi's hand and didn't say a word, tears welled up. He patted Fei Yi's hand and sobbed silently. Fei Yi was also a little sad, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, from this moment on, the king is the king of Wu of my Han Dynasty, and we are ministers in the same palace, and we will definitely support each other and help each other in the same boat." ”
Sun Quan nodded gratefully.
In front of Sun Quan, Fei Yi asked Wei Xing to immediately send an order to Xiahou Xuan and Deng Ai, asking them to stop advancing immediately, rest on the spot, and wait for the handover. Wei Xing responded, and immediately sent someone to pass the order. In view of the fact that Zhang Wen had traveled twice, was overworked, and was already bedridden, and Li Feng stayed in Yiyang and did not return, Fei Yi decided to personally accompany Hu Zong, the envoy sent by Sun Quan, to Changsha to convey the news of the agreement to Wei Ba and end the war that had lasted for eleven days.
Eleven days, so short, so long...... (To be continued......)
