Chapter 756: The Mansion Will Fall
Zhang Zhao is not an uncertain prophet, he didn't know that Sun Quan was going to withdraw his troops so soon, but Zhang Zhao knew that since the grain and grass could only support Sun Quan's choice, if Sun Quan wanted to withdraw his troops, he would definitely give up attacking Xudu!
Because, even if it is not beneficial to the people, even if it is not beneficial to the officials, but for his Sun family, it is definitely more beneficial to take Yizhou!
At the beginning of the letter, Zhang Zhao stated the advantages of attacking Xudu for Sun Quan, and in the second half, Sun Quan pointed out the disadvantages of abandoning Xudu at this time.
First of all, it will run counter to the previous propaganda. Isn't your Sun Quan noble? Aren't you Sun Quan great? Aren't you not afraid of hardship and danger? As a result, now, there is not much difficulty, and the danger is not seen, and this retreat, Sun Quan's character has collapsed.
The collapse of the character is still a trivial matter, this move of working hard and hurting money, you hit Xu Du but don't fight, I am most afraid of being guided by someone with a heart, thinking that you are the second king of Zhou You, the prince of the Beacon Fire Opera, and the people's hearts are lost!
Of course, Sun Quan could also pretend to have lost the battle and had to retreat. But in this way, although the people's hearts are still there, the morale is not. Although the character design has not collapsed, the faith has collapsed! Sun Quan is the god of war in the minds of Jiangdong soldiers, as long as he is there, the morale of the top and bottom is high, and he thinks that there is no battle that cannot be won. Didn't Sun Quan want to ruin the prestige that he had managed to run with great difficulty?!
Want the hearts of the people? Or do you want to be a military heart? Or both? This question should be a good choice.
It's a pity that no matter how reasonable Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan still did not waver. Sun Quan knew very well what was best for him Jiangdong, and he didn't care about those vanities. Even if you don't talk about Sun Quan's own thoughts, Sun Ce is present on the battlefield in Yizhou, which shows that the two brothers have the same idea, and there is nothing to hesitate about.
The foundation of the Sun family is the army, so choose one of the two hearts of the people and the army, Sun Quan chooses to lose the hearts of the people and protect the hearts of the army!
Besides, don't look at Zhang Zhao's terrible problem, in fact, the people's will is the best guide. Isn't Xuzhou just in chaos? As long as Sun Quan said that he was to protect the people of Jiangdong from infringement, he gave up the good situation and had to retreat back to defend it, at that time, the people would probably be too late to thank Sun Quan, so why lose the hearts of the people?
O these ministers! When you go back, you must hammer and knock well, and you can put forward your opinions, but you must be objective, fair, and thorough, and you must not interfere in the military!
However, even Sun Quan didn't expect that at this time, something would happen again.
"My lord! Someone just got out there and sent you a letter. ”
"Who?"
The visitor glanced at Diao Chan and replied,
"The person who claims to be Cihang Jingzhai."
Sun Quan frowned, took the letter, and then,
Rumble!
The entire military sand table, under Sun Quan's rage, was smashed to pieces.
For a while, led by Qiao Xuan, everyone at the scene was so frightened that they knelt down and didn't dare to move.
Although Diao Chan had a bad intuition just now, she didn't expect that Sun Quan's reaction would be so big.
"What did Cihang Jingzhai say?"
Dou Yuru helped everyone ask the questions they wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, but there was a bit of schadenfreude on her face.
"See for yourself!" Sun Quan threw the letter to Diao Chan.
Dou Yuru leaned over with interest, while the others could only endure their curiosity and continue to kneel.
And when he saw the contents of the letter, not only Diao Chan's face was heavy, but even Dou Yuru's face became bad.
Cihang Jingzhai's meaning was very simple, let Sun Quan capture Xudu, and then offer the emperor in exchange for his son Sun Deng.
After Liu Biao's death, Liu Biao's two sons were also useless, Cihang Jingzhai put the goal on Emperor Xian, and it was understandable to take Emperor Xian, the orthodox emperor, back.
In this regard, Sun Quan didn't need a chance at all, but the latter sentence of Cihang Jingzhai made Sun Quan unbearable-
If Sun Quan does not agree, they will immediately retake Jingzhou!
Enemy on four fronts!
In the entire Yangtze River Basin, upper, middle and lower reaches, the Sun family will face four points of battle, and each point is a different enemy! With one enemy and four enemies, and the troops are scattered, the battle line is opened, even if it is as strong as Jiangdong, it can't withstand it!
What's more, at this time, Koto itself was facing various problems. There is not much grain and grass, Wenchen is opposed, and for a while, there is a tendency for the building to fall.
If Sun Quan in Xuzhou can not pay attention to it, then he has to pay attention to it in Jingzhou.
After taking control of the Yangtze River Basin, although most of the troops in Jingzhou have now been taken by Zhou Yu to fight Yizhou, Cihang Jingzhai can indeed be called taking advantage of the situation, but how can the Yangtze River defense line be easily broken by Cihang Jingzhai?
However, now it is not a question of whether it can be attacked or not, but once Jingzhou goes to war, Jiangdong will not be able to borrow the Yangtze River to transport grain! The Yizhou battlefield was already short of food at this time, and if you took the land route, the daylily would be cold! Therefore, during this time period, the Yangtze River basin must not be chaotic!
"My lord, what did you just order?" Qiao Xuan reminded him loudly, pulling Sun Quan's thoughts back.
Sun Quan frowned,
"Hold it for now, let me think again."
"Yes."
Very rarely, Sun Quan used a skill at such a time, and he needed to use the ample time of the illusion to think.
At this time, taking a wrong step, even if it is not a catastrophe, at least it will make his Sun family breathless for a few years. missed the past few years, once Cao Cao and Yuan Shao split the winners and losers, it will be difficult to dominate the world in the future!
The difficulty now is that Sun Quan only needs to give up Xu Du and then fully support Zhou Yu's side, as long as they are given enough time, Yizhou will definitely be able to win. Then Sun Quan personally sat in the base camp, which can also ensure that there will be no chaos in other aspects.
But now, under the interference of Cihang Jingzhai, Sun Quan can't give up Xudu, or can't give up Xudu immediately, so they have to face the problem of food and grass. Regardless of whether you fight Xu Du or not, so many soldiers always have to eat here, right? In this way, Sun Quan will not be able to fully support Zhou Yu's side, and once the Yizhou battlefield is out of food, all efforts will be in vain. So, for today's plan, the only way to let Zhou Yu retire?
If Zhou Yu is allowed to withdraw from the army, Cihang Jingzhai's so-called threat of attacking Jingzhou will no longer be a threat, and a word will make their efforts go to waste, doesn't this seem ridiculous?!
However, at least one thing, Sun Quan was certain, he could not leave Xudu for the time being until the first batch of grain and grass was successfully transported to the battlefield of Yizhou.
Fantasy time is over, back to reality.
"All orders just now are null and void!" Sun Quan ordered very suddenly, his so-called three thoughts, in the eyes of others, only for a second, "first transport half of our grain and grass to Yizhou to solve the urgent need." Then let Cheng Pu and Han Dang transport all the current surplus grain in Jiangdong to the front line in Yizhou, and after delivery, stay in Jingzhou to guard on the spot. ”
Qiao Xuan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said,
"My lord! What about Xuzhou? What about us? ”
Transferring Cheng Pu and Han Dang away, Xuzhou is empty, how to resist Yuan Jun? All the surplus grain was transported to the Yizhou battlefield, so what about the battlefield of Xudu?
