When the news of Sun Quan's proclamation as emperor reached Luoyang, Zhao Shu immediately announced to the world, claiming that Sun Quan was rebellious and raised 100,000 troops to march east to Xuchang.

Although Zhao Shu returned to Luoyang, the generals were always thinking about re-entering the battlefield, and the 100,000-strong army was assembled in only two days, and they came to Xuchang in a mighty way. On the contrary, the Eastern Wu side never thought that Zhao Shu would turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, and the whole army was also fighting Cao Wei on the front line, so it was easy for Zhao Shu to capture Xuchang.

Wu Jun's labor expedition, far from Jiangdong's hometown, how many miles? Zhao Shu captured Xuchang and inserted a sharp knife into Wu Jun's henchmen. Although it is not yet cut off, it is a big bad news for the soldiers of Soochow who have been fighting on the front line for many years. Sun Huan hurriedly negotiated a truce with Cao Wei, and then led his troops south, preparing to return to Jiangdong, because he understood that with this tired army, it was really difficult to compete with Zhao Shu's elite soldiers. However, Sun Quan was already confused by Zhao Shu, and insisted on letting the troops be recruited in person, and strictly ordered Sun Huan not to withdraw his troops, and to join him in Xuchang to attack the Han army.

Sun Huan should not have received such a chaotic order, but when Sun Huan's army retreated to Xuzhou, Sun Quan had already raised his army from Wu Xia to Huainan. Moreover, there was an endless stream of messengers who ordered Sun Huan to agree to go to the round. Sun Huan had no choice but to obey the emperor's order, and went straight to Yuzhou with more than 100,000 people under his command. After the two armies converged, they pounced on Yingchuan again, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Along the way, all the generals of Eastern Wu had complaints, and old generals such as Xu Sheng tried their best to persuade Sun Quan not to fight easily. However, Sun Quan was already furious at this time, and he couldn't listen to everyone's words at all. Approaching the city of Xuchang, seeing that the war was imminent, all the generals came to Sun Huan's tent. Now that Lu Xun is dead, although Sun Huan's reputation and intelligence are not as good as him, he has been fighting on the battlefield with Cao Wei for many years, and has faintly become the head of the generals.

Looking at the generals full of accounts, Sun Huan understood their intentions, but Sun Huan himself had no choice. If Sun Quan can still listen to one person now, then only Zhuge Ke, and Zhuge Ke is trying his best to persuade Sun Quan to enter the army for a decisive battle in order to make up for his mistakes, where will he persuade him to withdraw his troops? Sun Huan exhaled heavily, first broke the silence in the tent, and said, "The big war is coming, the generals should go back to the camp and prepare to go." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, or Xu Sheng got up and said: "Governor, our army has been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers are already exhausted. I really shouldn't fight with the Han army anymore, or ......" Sun Huan didn't understand this truth, but what could he do? The so-called king's ministers have to die, not to mention that this battle may not necessarily be lost. Sun Huan waved his hand to interrupt Xu Sheng's speech, and said, "The battle is imminent, and General Xu really shouldn't make such a confusing remark about the army." ”

Rumors confuse the morale of the military, and this is not a small crime. Xu Sheng was stunned, so he had to sit down silently, but the beards on both sides were so angry that he couldn't help shaking. Sun Huan glanced at him, looked around at the people in the tent, and said, "Whether to fight or not to fight is up to Your Majesty." As courtiers, we should only follow Your Majesty's will. Zhugong should go back and prepare for the war. Everyone knew that there was no return, but they were reluctant to leave. I saw Xu Sheng get up suddenly, and said loudly: "That is the case, I will fight to the end, is Jiangdong Erlang still afraid of Shu pigs?" With that, he strode out of the tent. All the generals also followed him and left one after another. Sun Huan looked at the backs of everyone, and not only did a chill rise in his heart, I don't know how many of these people can return to Jiangdong after this battle.

When the generals gathered in Sun Huan's tent, Zhuge Ke was also in Sun Quan's tent, but unlike everyone, he was boasting that this campaign would be a complete victory. After Zhao Shu raised his army, Sun Quan was furious and originally wanted to behead Zhuge Ke and exterminate the clan. But Zhuge Ke first went naked, carrying thorns on his back, and lay outside the palace gate to plead guilty. After all, he was a person who had been favored for many days, and after only kneeling for a day and a night, Sun Quan ordered him to enter. Zhuge Ke relied on that three-inch tongue to save his life. In fact, Zhuge Ke did not collude with Zhao Shu, and he didn't know that after persuading Sun Quan to become emperor, Zhao Shu would send troops. In his little abacus, he just wanted to make great contributions and exclude Lu Xun, a "dissident". But who knows, let him be like a ghost, he still drank Zhao Shu's footwashing water.

If Zhuge Ke just wants to save his life, then that's it. It's a pity that people are not greedy enough, and after surviving, Zhuge Ke wants to gain Sun Quan's favor again as before. He has been following Sun Quan for a long time, and he already knows Sun Quan's temperament well, knowing that Sun Quan will not swallow this breath so easily. So he instigated Sun Quan to send troops and fight a decisive battle with Zhao Shu. In Zhuge Ke's view, the Wu army's successive victories on the battlefield against Cao Wei must be like a rainbow of morale and unstoppable. If he can join forces with Cao Zhi again, it will not be difficult to defeat Zhao Shu. And Sun Quan also happened to hate Zhao Shu at this time, gritting his teeth with hatred, and immediately ordered a personal expedition to fight with Zhao Shu.

Zhuge Ke didn't understand military strategy, but he knew that he was about to speak according to Sun Quan's wishes, and he was about to come into contact with the Han army head-on, so he hurriedly came to say some flattering words to Sun Quan first. Sun Quan sat on the dragon couch and listened to Zhuge Ke's words with satisfaction, although he led his troops to fight many times in his life, but this time it was of great significance. It is not only the first battle since the founding of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, but also the first battle after he became emperor, which can only succeed and cannot fail. Therefore, Zhuge Ke's words are quite useful to listen to in the ears.

Zhao Shu, this name is not unfamiliar. If it weren't for his treachery and raising troops to attack, Sun Quan would really be willing to follow the old covenant and guard the borders, this person is indeed a difficult character to mess with. It's a pity that Zhao Shu is too greedy, and he really dares to raise troops to come, although the sneak attack is successful, but now he has 200,000 elite soldiers in his hands, are you still afraid of him? Thinking about the big battle in the near future, Sun Quan couldn't help but show a smile on his face. After the success of this battle, the whole world will be Sun's. Accustomed to hearing Zhuge Ke's good words, Sun Quan seemed to believe in his heart that the Wu army would win this battle, and Zhao Shu would lose.

Then the truth is always cruel, Sun Quan's dream is not finished, but the shouting and killing outside interrupts it. "What's going on?" Zhuge Ke hurriedly ran out of the tent, and ran in again, stammering: "Your Majesty, the camp in the north is on fire." It seems that the Han army has come to rob the camp. ”

"How is that possible?" Sun Quan Huoran got up and scolded angrily: "It must be that the fire was accidentally lost in which battalion." The order goes down, the three armies must not panic, but there are rumors to confuse the army's heart. Zhuge Ke had not yet conveyed this will, but a guard came in early, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, don't be frugal, just set fire in the camp and echo with the Han army." Sun Dudu is leading troops to resist, please Your Majesty go out of the camp first. ”
