Chapter 36: Dragons
It was Xun who repeatedly harassed Wu Hui, and Sun Quan was furious, and he listened to the subordinate officials, and sent Kan Ze to Rugao Island, where Xun wrote a war letter, which means - if you have the ability, you will go ashore to fight, only cruising on the sea, what a despicable Nair!
When Xun saw the letter, he couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart that Sun Zhongmou really had no way to defend himself, so he had to shake his prestige verbally. He groaned slightly, then picked up the pen to reply, and first copied the original words of Cao Cao in the original history, saying: "Those who are close to him are guilty of resigning and sinning, and they are pointing to the south." There are 100,000 people in the Imabari water army, and Fang and the general will hunt in the Wu ......"
However, the original text is "800,000 people in the navy", and the bragging is boundless, he is Hongsuke but a sincere person, and he only exaggerated the strength at hand by 20 times, and he didn't dare to say more.
Later, he wrote a poem to provoke Sun Quan. The prototype of this new poem is "Southern Expedition to Weiyang Wangjiangzuo" written by King Hailing of the Jin Dynasty when he finished Yan Liang and conquered the Song Dynasty. Raise millions of troops on the West Lake, and immediately the first peak of Wushan! "Although Liang is a Tatar, but the Sinicization Cheng dΓΉ is very high, and the poetry and articles are all good, and the poem is the best-although there is no lack of self-indulgence, especially compared to his later quarrying defeat, it is even more ridiculous.
Shi Xun changed his poem into five words, and added a few sentences, and wrote:
"King Qin swept Liuhe, and the car book was mixed. Yafuping Wu Chu, Jiangnan has no other seal. Chopping the waves of the East China Sea, the canopy is like a peak. The little one who comes to the side, how can the worm turn into a dragon? β
"The little one who comes to the side", said Emperor Guangwu and Kui's edict, saying: "If you tie up your hands, father and son will see each other, and there will be no other." Emperor Gao Yun: 'Henglai, the Great King. The little one. If you want to be a clothier. Also self-appointed. In the past, Gaozu once said. If Tian Heng is willing to come and attach, the big one can be crowned king, and the small one can be crowned marquis, if you want to follow the example of Huang Bu and stand on his own, then you will bear the consequences. Guangwu gave this words to Kui Huan, and now Xun copied it again to give Sun Quan.
The "worm" mentioned in the concluding sentence, that is, the earthworm as it is called in the post-secular world, is Xun said that you are a little worm. Unwilling to surrender to the imperial court, do you still want to fly and turn into a dragon? How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?
Sun Quan received the letter, filled his chest with anger, and tore it to pieces in three or two strokes. Immediately, he will personally go into battle, summon the Yangtze River sailors out of the mouth of the river into the sea, and take Rugao Island directly - my river boat has no chance of winning against your sea ship, so why not directly carry troops to attack your base camp? The generals hurriedly dissuaded Sun Quan, and finally made Sun Quan angry. So Sun Quan asked: "When will Gongjin return?" It is necessary to break through the honor, and get its head. Fang Shuwu's hatred in his heart is also! β
Zhang Zhao said that Zhou Yu was playing happily in Jingzhou, and I guess he may not be willing to return with the edict. At least it will take ten days and a half a month - "The former envoy Yan Mancai and Buzishan were summoned, but they were all subordinates, and I am afraid that they will not be able to move Gongjin, and the so-called 'will be outside and the king's order will not be affected'." When the important ministers are sent to carry on, if Gongjin does not obey the edict, Cheng Demou, Huang Gongfu and others can return first. β
Sun Quan nodded, and asked, "Is Zhang Gong willing to go?" "Zhang Zhao said that I can't go, I don't have prestige in the army, not only can't pull Zhou Yu, but also can't pull Cheng Pu and Huang Gai-" General Fuyi can be in this position. β
The so-called "Fuyi General" refers to the Wu County Taishou Zhu Zhi Zhu Junli, who was originally a former official of Sun Jian, who had served in three dynasties, with old qualifications and high prestige, and was more suitable for subduing Zhou Yu than Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who were only in the second generation of scholars. Moreover, Zhu Zhi is not a civil servant, he has also led troops, fought in battles, and has a certain prestige in the army - otherwise Sun Quan would not worship him as General Fuyi.
Just like that, the third envoy from Jiangdong was on the road again, just in time for Zhou Yu to break Cao's army in Jiangxia. Zhu Zhi persuaded Zhou Yu to withdraw his troops as soon as possible - Wu Hui's current shape is very bad, we can't afford to delay, Zhou Yu repeatedly said to wait a few more days, and wait for Cao Cao to retreat first. Zhu Junli couldn't make sense at first, so he simply bypassed Zhou Yu and went directly to Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others - those are also old qualifications Sun Jian's former ministers, who were not very happy to succumb to Zhou Yu's young age, but now he has to be persuaded by Zhu Zhi, okay, if he doesn't obey the edict, let's go home.
When Zhou Yu heard the news, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the sky. The generals hurriedly supported him, and seeing that Zhou Yu was already unconscious, they had no choice but to carry him onto the boat and follow Zhu Zhi and evacuate Jiangxia. When the news came, Cao Cao, who was packing his luggage, was stunned - what, Zhou Yu withdrew his troops? There is no reason! Could it be that there is a deception in it? Rebeware, reprobe!
The news was also reported to Xiling City, Huang Zu panicked on the spot, and hurriedly sent people to chase after him, asking the reason for the retreat, and at the same time asked Wen Ping and Huang Zhong to lead the army to approach him. However, the eastbound ships arrived and failed to catch up with the Jiangdong army, and the envoys who went south did not persuade Wen and Huang, and the two directly led their troops to withdraw to Jiangling.
Cao Cao was afraid of Zhou Yu's deception, and he did not dare to pursue, but he still retreated back to the Central Plains according to the original plan. Huang Zhu hurriedly came to visit, saying that he might as well make one last effort, and the minister would write a letter to persuade his father to surrender - no matter whether Zhou Yu really retreated or faked to retreat, now that Xiling has become a lonely city, there may be a chance to win without a fight. Cao Cao squinted at Huang Jie, muttered for a long time, and suddenly nodded: "Qing can go to Xiling to say that Qing's father." β
Huang Zhu thanked him repeatedly, and went out happily. Liu Fang asked next to him: "Huang Gongli is here, can he return?" "Will he ever come back? Won't the father and son shrink directly in Xiling City after seeing each other, and help the abuse from then on, right? Huang shot in our army, that is a good hostage who wants to blackmail Huang Zu, how can he be released suddenly?
Cao Cao smiled slightly: "Since you use people, are you suspicious?" "On the surface, he shows his generosity and uses people without doubt, but in fact, he thinks in his heart: Huang Jie is the best if he can say that Huang Zu surrenders, if he dares to rebel, I will have the opportunity to kill his father and son together in the future, and kill his clan cleanly. It is said that these days Huang Zudang and Zhou Yu have made Cao Cao very disgusting, and he can't help but have murderous intent.
Besides, Huang Jie personally came to Xiling to persuade Huang Zu, Huang Zu said that Cao Cao had just been defeated, and he was about to retreat? And he sent you back to me, so I'll surrender my. Huang Jian shook his head and said: "If Wang Shi wins, that is, if my father wants to surrender, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find Zhenjiang Xiaya; Now that the king and teacher are defeated, the father will return, the prime minister will be happy, and my family will be prosperous. "Surrender now, that's the best opportunity, if you don't surrender now. Wait for Cao Cao to return to the Central Plains. Regroup. If we attack Jingzhou again, our father and son will have only a dead end. Do you really think that the prime minister will not be able to take this remote Jingzhou with the heavy troops of the Central Plains?
After repeated persuasion, Huang Zu was finally moved, so he handed over the seal ribbon of Jiangxia Taishou to Huang Jie and asked him to return to Cao Ying to present to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was really overjoyed, praised Huang Jie greatly, and said: "The official gift is the father who can be returned with a seal." But I was allowed to do two things, that is, to play the imperial court, so that the Qing family continued to town Jiangxia. "The first thing is to ask Huang Zu to write a letter publicly to sever relations with Liu Biao, and the second thing is to ask Huang Zu to send a ship to send a Cao soldier across the Yangtze River and station in the south of the Yangtze River.
Since he had already agreed to surrender, Huang Zu naturally did everything, and immediately moved his troops to Su Fei with a ship to meet him that day. Cao Cao sent Yu Ban to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to the south and camp in Shaxian on the south bank of the Yangtze River - although I failed to take Xiling. But if you collect the entire Jiangxia, you must control the Jiangnan region of Jiangxia. In this way, the connection between Liu Biao and Sun Quan can be severed.
Immediately, Cao Jun returned to the Central Plains.
Besides, the Jiangdong fleet returned to the east, and encountered Lu Su's sailors near Peng Lize, and the two sides fought a vicious battle, because the Jiangdong soldiers were thinking about returning and did not want to fight hard, although Lu Zijing failed to stop them, he also took advantage of them slightly. When the boat arrived in Danyang, Zhou Yu finally came to his senses, and when he learned the scene after the coma, he couldn't help but sigh: "I can't break Cao Ye, how can it be God's will?!" "When I asked for the piano, I played a song on the sickbed, and the tune was so sad that everyone who heard it wept.
When the boat reached the vicinity of Spring Valley, someone suddenly reported: "Dingwu Zhonglang will ask to see the general on the shore." "Zhou Yuxin said what he was doing here? However, his body was weak, his mind was a little drowsy, and he had no time to think deeply, so he ordered the ship to come ashore, and he wore a Confucian shirt and landed on the shore to see him.
saw a general who was eight feet tall and burly, hurried forward, and grabbed Zhou Yu's hands: "Gong Jin, this trip to Jingzhou, is it quite hard?" β
The Dingwu Zhonglang general's name was Sun Wei, the eldest son of Sun Jian's brother Sun Jing, and he was a marginalized figure in the Eastern Wu clan. But that's not to blame others, but to blame himself: and said that Sun Ce was assassinated that day, and the coffin was sent back to his hometown Fuchun, when Sun Wei led his troops to camp in Wucheng, he had evil intentions for a while, trying to organize the army to go to Huiji to kidnap Sun Quan and seize the position of the head of the family. Although in the end, because of Yu Xuan's persuasion and the uncooperative attitude of the whole county of Huiji, Sun Wei did not really launch a rebellion, but after Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he must have hung him up - so that he led his troops to guard the river and drove him away from the center of Jiangdong. Sun Jing's second son Sun Yu, the third Sun Jiao, and the fourth Sun Sun Huan were all reused, and only the eldest Sun Hui was idle and ate idle until he died.
By the way, Sun Jun and Sun Qi, who were once in charge of the state politics of Eastern Wu, were all Sun Wei's grandsons. Originally, Sun Wei in history had such an experience, and in this timeline, it was actually not too much.
Let's say that Sun Wei took Zhou Yu's hand and said that he had set up a banquet to wash the dust for Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu resigned to Wu Hou's urgent summons, and did not stop, Sun Wei put his face on the board: "Why don't you skimp on a meal?" "I don't even have time to eat. Zhou Yu was still sick, and his steps were vain, and he was staggered and dragged away by Sun Wei - two arrows from the shore, a tent had been erected and a meal had been placed.
Zhou Gongjin had no choice but to comply. So the guests sat down, and after three rounds of drinking, Sun Wei began to ask about the war in Jingzhou. Zhou Yu roughly described it, and Sun Wei couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that although Cao is broken, he can't hold Jing Xiang for a long time." Gongjin is talented, and he can't display it, if Zhongmou can be full-time and not restrained, why is it today?! "Sun Quan, that thing is so short-sighted!
Zhou Yu listened to Sun Wei's insult to Sun Quan, and didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "The son is drunk, be cautious." Yu is also too strong to drink, please resign. Sun Wei said slow down, I have a sentence to say to Gong Jin: "If I have Gong Jin to complement me, I will believe it and obey it." If he is in a different place with Zhong, Cao Cao will retreat, and Jingzhou will win! "If I were in Sun Quan's position, you would definitely not have done such a big futile work.
When Zhou Yu heard this, his face changed greatly, and he was about to leave as soon as he flicked his sleeves. Sun Wei looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a pity, the martyr doesn't know the Lord in the end." Throwing the wine glass to the ground - with a sound of "dang", countless soldiers flashed behind the tent, each holding a sharp blade, towards Zhou Yu......
