Chapter 1685: Jiangdong Envoy Asks to See
Ordered in danger, Zhang Zhao was very unsure that he could complete Sun Quan's entrustment.
However, he did not refuse, and after receiving Sun Quan's entrustment, he left Jianye that day and rushed all the way to the direction where the Han army crossed the Yangtze River.
The army crossed the Yangtze River, and Liu Wei did not order an immediate advance towards Jianye.
Although Zhuge Jun had already defeated Zhuge Jin two days earlier, the road was far away, and it would still take some time for them to rush to Jianye.
Calculating the schedule, Liu Wei believed that the army would rest on the south bank of the Yangtze River for five or six days before marching eastward, and perhaps it would be possible to join forces with Zhuge before reaching Jianye.
To break through Jiangdong, what the Han army has to do now is not to speed up the march, but to wait for Zhuge Jun's army to advance eastward, join forces with it, and put pressure on Jiangdong Sun in terms of momentum, forcing Jiangdong Sun to take the initiative to sacrifice his power.
After staying on the south bank of the Yangtze River for several days, Liu Wei only drank with the generals for several days, and occasionally summoned Pang Tong and others to his residence to discuss with them the most suitable way to march to Jianye.
However, the Han army that crossed the Yangtze River never moved.
On the north bank of the Yangtze River, there will be many ships every day, full of grain and grass to cross the Yangtze River to send supplies to the army.
The Han army that crossed the Yangtze River was not scattered, and looked towards their military camp from afar, only to see that the tents in the sky could not see the end at all.
Staying on the south bank of the Yangtze River until the fourth day, Liu Wei did not wait for the envoy sent by the Sun clan in Jiangdong, and also made the decision to advance to Jianye immediately.
Just as he was about to give the order to advance to Jianye, a palace guard appeared outside the door of Liu Bian's residence, and bowed down to Liu Bianyu, who was discussing the march with the generals in the house, and reported: "Your Majesty, the Jiangdong Sun clan has sent an envoy to ask for an audience!" ”
After the army crossed the river, Liu Wei did not immediately decide to advance, on the one hand, he was waiting for Zhuge Jun's army to arrive, and on the other hand, he had a plan.
The Jiangdong Army now has 30,000 horses left, if the army attacks Jianye, although the 30,000 soldiers and horses have no power to counterattack, but they stick to Jianye City, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble to the Han army.
A large number of troops gathered outside Jianye City, not to mention the huge daily consumption of grain and grass, even if you can ignore the grain and grass and attack Jianye City, you will have to pay a lot of casualties.
The war is coming to an end, and for so many years, Liu Wei has always refused to watch the soldiers die in vain.
It was almost time for victory to come, and he couldn't bear to suffer too many casualties.
What's more, once there are Han soldiers killed or wounded, the amount of compensation paid is also extremely large, although the Han court treasury is full, the huge casualty compensation is also unbearable!
If the Jiangdong Sun clan could announce their surrender to the imperial court before the final battle, Liu Wei would of course be happy to agree.
Hearing that the Jiangdong Sun clan had sent an envoy, Liu Wei looked around at the generals in the room and said to them: "If I don't expect it to be bad, Sun Quan sent an envoy who should surrender to the imperial court!" ”
Hearing that Sun Quan wanted to surrender to the imperial court, the Han generals in the room were stunned one by one.
After days of fighting, the army has already arrived in Jianye, and it won't be long before Jianye City is breached, and the Jiangdong Sun clan will be completely erased from the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Many people even have the idea that Liu Wei will not easily agree to Sun Quan's begging surrender, and the Han army will still continue to advance towards Jianye City and expand the results to the maximum!
