Chapter 157: Sun Quan Asks for War
The two armies fought, and in front of the array,
Because it was Hu Zhen who took the initiative to attack this time, although Sun Quan was in his own base camp, he was actually very close to the front line, and he was completely able to observe the battle situation on the front line.
Since the first day of entering the barracks to live, Sun Quan has been waiting for this moment, these days, Sun Quan has saved all the three skills a day to the end, the enemy may come at any time, once he comes, one skill may not be enough at all. Therefore, Sun Quan has not used his skills indiscriminately for a long time.
In the first battle, how could Sun Quan not use it?
In most wars, except for surprise attacks and overwhelming destruction, both sides often choose to test at the beginning, rather than directly fight to the death. Therefore, this gave Sun Quan great convenience, because this Hu Zhen's tentative attack could end in an hour, and in less than an hour, Hu Zhen would retreat, and the result of this trial was a draw.
The Jiangdong Army did not occupy an absolute advantage, and although Hu Zhen took the initiative to withdraw his troops, he was also orderly and did not seize the opportunity by Sun Jian and others. The battle ended with the death of a few hundred soldiers on both sides.
Foreseeing such an outcome, Sun Quan withdrew from his mind and began to wonder if he needed to interfere with this tentative war.
First of all, Sun Quan felt that this temptation was meaningless at all, there was no winner or loser, and so many soldiers died in vain, what was the use? Anyway, Sun Quan can infinitely "read the file archive", he goes to simulate it before each battlefield starts, the draw and the defeat are all closed, and when he wins the game, he beats the opponent to the point where he can't get up, so that he is invincible in advance!
What the? You said you chose to keep the door closed, but the other party still continued to attack? Just kidding, in this era, without more than ten times the number of troops, can you really easily storm the city? Give Hu Zhen a hundred dares, he doesn't dare, otherwise there won't be so many generals who called for battle before the war at this time (the setting of this book is closer to romance in this regard).
Therefore, from this point of view, Sun Quan had every reason to prevent Sun Jian from going to war in order to avoid unnecessary damage.
Secondly, this is the first time that Sun Quan has used skills to simulate a war, and it is very necessary for Sun Quan to determine in advance how useful his words will be. It's just a draw this time, just imagine, once there is a defeat in the future, Sun Quan thinks he can avoid it perfectly, but he asked Sun Jian not to fight, but Sun Quan chose not to listen, so what should I do?
There is no reason why Sun Quan would put this risk in the future, so from this point of view, it is actually very necessary for Sun Quan to stop Sun Jian once. Even if it fails, Sun Quan will at least not lose in this draw.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan immediately picked up his pen, thought about the wording, and wrote a battlefield express letter to Sun Jian.
Of course, Sun Quan would not directly say that this battle could not be fought, not saying that it would shake the morale of the army, and it would make Sun Jian incomprehensible, after all, no matter how he looked at the Jiangdong Army, he was a strong side, besides, what battle did Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, dare not fight? Therefore, Sun Quan cited the principle of one blow in Cao Yan's polemic, then decline, and exhaustion, hoping that Sun Jian could not fight first and consume the morale of the other side.
Sun Quan believed that with Sun Jian's superstition about him, he suddenly wrote such a letter, with the mentality that he would rather believe it than believe it, Sun Jian might still listen to it.
After asking people to send the letter out as quickly as possible, before the soldiers left Sun Quan's tent, Sun Quan immediately used the skill of allowing me to think twice today. There is no way, this time it will affect the situation of the war, and Sun Quan can't be cautious, who knows what kind of consequences his letter will lead to. In case of a mistake, the war that would have been only a draw is lost, how will Sun Quan explain to his family at that time?
A second later,
Sun Quan withdrew from the second time and immediately stopped the soldier who was about to go out to deliver the letter. In the soldier's extremely confused look, Sun Quan took back the letter he had just written, waved the soldier back, and burned it directly.
At this moment, Sun Quan's expression was solemn, his brows were tightly locked, not that the letter he had just sent would really make the situation worse, but in the second three-thought illusion, Sun Jian did not choose to listen to Sun Quan, but continued to lead troops to fight Hu Zhen, which made Sun Quan discover his powerlessness for the first time. Sun Jian is not distrustful of Sun Quan, nor is he not superstitious about Sun Quan, in all kinds of big and small things, Sun Jian often listens to Sun Quan, but it is different on the battlefield!
The Jiangdong Tigers have absolute self-confidence on the battlefield! He trusts his own judgment and believes in his own strength! If Sun Jian will really be shaken because of Sun Quan's simple words, it means that he has no confidence in this war, and the Jiangdong Tigers of the past will no longer exist!
In the short term, one or two wars, listening to Sun Quan's words may be effective, but what about the long run? As the leader, Sun Jian has lost his original sharpness, and the frightening Jiangdong Army will still have the same cohesion as before? Will it still have the same combat power as before? The reason why the Jiangdong Army is fierce is that Sun Jian will always take the lead and rush to the front, taking this as an example, the soldiers are naturally full of morale and are not afraid of anything. At this point, Sun Ce completely inherited Sun Jian. Therefore, Sun Jiancai has always unswervingly wanted Sun Ce to take over, for the soldiers, the strength of the army is everything, and politics can only be regarded as an assistant.
Regarding the above, Sun Quan may not have thought it through thoroughly, but Sun Quan is at least sure that Sun Jian did not listen to him this time. In that case, what's the point of sending this letter out? Not to mention that it does not play any role, it may also affect the relationship between father and son, and even cause uncertainties to Sun Jian's psychology.
Burn the letter, no one knows what Sun Quan wrote on this day, even if the soldier just said it, others will only think that this is the first time Sun Quan appeared on the battlefield, worried about his father and brother.
Since then,
Sun Quan can no longer face the future with a relaxed attitude, how to make his father Sun Jian believe in himself on the battlefield and listen to his own judgment will be Sun Quan's top priority for a long time. Otherwise, Sun Quan would not have played any role on the battlefield at all, and he would not even be able to stop the "original history"!
On this day,
When Sun Jian and his entourage returned from the battle, Sun Quan came to the main camp and said a word to Sun Jian,
"Dad, I also want to lead troops to fight!"
Four shocks.
All present were Sun Jian's henchmen, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and others were listed one by one, and everyone was discussing how to fight the next battle. For Sun Quan, Sun Jian didn't speak, and they couldn't say anything.
However, even if Sun Quan is Sun Jian's son, even if Sun Quan has been a genius since childhood, they think it's too nonsense, and the battlefield is a child's play? If even a small child can lead a soldier, is it ridiculous or pathetic that they are a group of people?
"Second brother, you must know that even the eldest brother and I only went to the battlefield for the first time at the age of fourteen, and I still started as a pawn in front of the battle." Sun Ce was the first to speak, Sun Quan was too young to say anything, and he led the troops as soon as he came, how to serve the public?
Even if Sun Quan is only given an idle position, such nepotism, and such childish behavior will damage Sun Jian's prestige in the army.
Sun Jian was silent and did not express his position directly, just looked at Sun Quan. Based on Sun Jian's understanding of Sun Quan, he believes that Sun Quan cannot think of these problems; Moreover, they did not win the battle today, and they would not give Sun Quan the illusion that the war was very easy to fight. So, why did Sun Quan make such a request?
