Chapter 561: Wu County is lost
"Fool, do you really want to hurt you if you really want to be a father?"
Zhu Zhi glared at Zhu Ran and said coldly.
Hearing him say this, Zhu Ran was a little confused.
"What does that father mean......
"Father, I ask you, what do you think of the current situation?"
Zhu Ran thought about it and said softly,
"For us Jiangdong, the situation is precarious, I'm afraid that Wu Hou can't hold on."
"If you can see it, can't the Father see it?"
Zhu Zhi snorted lightly, and then said slowly,
"Not long ago, our clansmen in Jianye secretly sent me a letter."
"They have already reached an agreement with the general, as long as we surrender, the general will not embarrass us."
"But if you go to deliver a letter to Wu Hou, then Wu Hou will keep you by his side, how will you surrender for your father?"
Only then did Zhu Ran suddenly realize,
"I see, that's what my father intended!"
With Sun Quan's character, if Zhu Ran went to deliver the letter, he would definitely be taken as a hostage, so as to blackmail Zhu Zhi to defend the city.
Once Zhu Zhi surrenders, he will definitely kill Zhu Ran!
"Besides, with Xu Sheng and Ling Tong here, if we want to surrender, I'm afraid it's not so easy."
Zhu Zhi explained lightly.
"Then now that the two of them have left, are we going to contact Cao Wei's army outside the city?"
Zhu Ran asked.
"Let's wait a few more days."
Zhu Zhi waved his hand.
Although he has the heart to surrender, he is also a man who cares about his wings.
If Xu Sheng and Ling Tong left on the front foot, and he surrendered on the back foot, wouldn't he be infamous for being disloyal and unjust?
……
There has been no fighting in the past few days, and Sun Quan has been able to rest rarely.
After lunch, he was inspecting the granary in the army with Lu Su, Lu Xun and others to ensure that there would be no problems with the grain and grass, when he saw Xu Sheng and Ling Tong running over in a panic.
"I've seen Wu Hou!"
"Why did you two get back?"
Seeing Xu Sheng and Ling Tong, who were supposed to stay in Qu'a, suddenly appear here, Sun Quan's heart sank.
"Back to Wu Hou, Cao Wei's army took advantage of the heavy rain to launch a sudden attack!"
"General Zhu Ran is not the opponent of the enemy army, and he retreated to Qu'a City in defeat."
"General Zhu Zhi is defending the city, so the two of us come back for help!"
Hearing the news that they brought back, Sun Quan's face changed greatly!
He didn't think about it, so he turned his head and said,
"Mr. Zijing, you quickly lead the troops and go to relieve the siege of Qu'a!"
Jiangdong has been fighting against Cao Wei for so many years, and the original twelve tiger ministers have died and surrendered.
Now there are only a few people around him who can be trusted and reused, such as Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, and Lu Su.
didn't wait for Lu Su to receive the order, but Lu Xun on the side shook his head and said,
"Wu Hou, according to his subordinates, there is no need for Qu A to rescue......
"Why is that?"
Wu Hou frowned and asked in a cold voice.
"With the power of Cao's artillery, how easy is it to defend Qu'a?"
"If Marquis Wu leads the army to go, I'm afraid that even he will get in."
"Besides, General Zhu Zhi asked the two generals Xu and Ling to come back for help, but he took his son Zhu Ran to stick to the city."
"If he doesn't have a different heart, Wu Hou believes it?"
If it was normal times, Lu Xun naturally didn't dare to say such bold words.
But the current situation is urgent, and he can't care about it so much.
"What? Even Zhu Zhi wants to betray me?! ”
Sun Quan was angry and angry!
After Huang Gai, Han Dang and others surrendered to Yang Ling, Zhu Zhi is now the oldest in the Jiangdong Army!
He never expected that even Zhu Zhi would intend to surrender Yang Ling!
Is the sky going to kill me Jiangdong?!
"Wu Hou is angry! With Zhu Zhi's character, he will never surrender at will! ”
Lu Su hurriedly persuaded,
"But if Marquis Wu doesn't send reinforcements, the soldiers and horses in the city are not Cao Wei's opponents, and Zhu Zhi will really surrender!"
Just as Sun Quan was hesitating whether to send troops to support, he saw a herald brave the heavy rain and break into the hall.
He was drenched in the rain, and he couldn't care so much, so he knelt down with a plop and said with a crying voice,
"Wu Hou, it's not good...... Wu County lost ......"
"Click!"
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating Sun Quan's bloodless face.
Rolling thunder followed!
"How could Wu County lose it?"
Sun Quan asked in a hoarse voice.
"Pengshi, the Shanyue thief in Qiantang, united with the Shanyue people in Danyang, Huiji and other places to raise troops to rebel."
"After they captured Qiantang, they marched north without stopping!"
"After Wu Hou led the army to leave Wu County, the troops in the city were empty, and the enemy army was menacing, so there was no time to react, and the city ......was lost."
The words of the herald instantly filled the hearts of everyone present with a feeling of despair!
Wu County is Sun Quan's last foundation, and the grain, grass and baggage are all transported from there!
Without Wu County, for the Jiangdong Army, it will be a catastrophe!
"In the past, Shanyue rebelled, and it was all a small fight, not a climate! How can it be so ferocious today? ”
Lu Su couldn't help but say the question in his heart.
"Returning to the military division, I heard that this time the Shanyue people took the lead by two young people named Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, and it is said that they are Yang Ling's students!"
Yang Ling, it's Yang Ling again!
This bastard actually secretly sent someone to infiltrate the hinterland of Jiangdong to contact the Shanyue people to cause trouble!
At this time, Sun Quan didn't know whether to cry or be angry!
Everyone in the hall also looked blank.
The battle at the front was unfavorable, and the rear was thrown into the lair.
How can this battle be fought?
"Marquis Wu, are we still going to support General Zhu Zhi?"
Lu Su said cautiously.
Without waiting for Sun Quan to answer, Lu Xun on the side proposed,
"It is imperative that we quickly recapture Wu County!"
Only by retaking Wu County, Sun Quan and the others can not only get grain and grass supplies, but also be able to retreat all the way south to Huiji without being defeated by Cao's army!
Otherwise, there is only one way to die for them!
"Okay, go back to Wu County!"
Sun Quan immediately made a decision and ordered.
……
Qua.
After waiting for a few days, Zhu Zhi did not wait for Sun Quan's reinforcements, but waited for a rare sunny day.
Looking at the cloudless sky, he sighed.
In his opinion, Wei Jun would never give up such a rare opportunity!
At this moment, Zhu Ran hurriedly walked in,
"Father, the Wei army outside the city has sent an envoy!"
"Oh? Let him in! ”
Zhu Zhi nodded.
It didn't take long for Zhu Ran to come to Zhu Zhi with one person.
"Junli (Zhu Zhizi) don't come to harm?"
The person who came was none other than Huang Gai.
"Brother Gongfu came here this time, shouldn't he catch up with my brother and me?"
Zhu Zhi said lightly.
Huang Gai sat down to himself and said with a hearty smile,
"Junli is a happy person, so I'll say it directly."
"Today, I am ordered by the general to come to persuade you to surrender."
Zhu Zhi had already expected him to say this, and his expression did not change,
"Wu Hou, his father, and his brother are as kind to my Zhu family, how can I betray him?"
