Chapter 102: What is Adou?
Since Sun Quan decided to attack Jingzhou, he has hardly heard a single piece of good news.
He wondered if there was something that angered him, and that's why he had been unlucky ever since.
This is not a kind of self-deprecating ridicule, people at this time believe in these things that the gods are talking about, so as the bad news increases, Sun Quan really feels that he has been targeted by God.
Especially after he recently received another piece of bad news, he was even more convinced of this.
Jiang Qin also died.
The troops were ready to go out to attack Guan Yu, but Jiang Qin, who was called back by Zhou Tai halfway, was the number one commander stationed in the Wuxu Dock and the main general who defended Cao Wei, and died.
Jiang Qin began to have diarrhea on the way back, and as time went on, not only did it not get better, but it became more and more serious......
It's not good to take medicine, it's not good to eat grass ash, and the prescription is used all over again, but it can't stop diarrhea.
A good man is hard to defeat three bubbles, and Jiang Qin can pull more than thirteen bubbles on the last day, not to mention a hero, Xiang Yu can't stand it when he is alive.
finally persevered to meet Zhou Tai at the Wet Whisker Dock, but was told that the small vanguard of the Cao army of 1,000 people had disappeared.
As if it had never appeared, the follow-up Cao Wei army did not even have a shadow.
After the soldiers of the Wet Whisker Dock waited and guarded in fear for several days, Zhou Tai finally became suspicious.
Scouts were first sent to search, and after confirming safety, a large number of people were sent to search along the river, but nothing was found.
It wasn't until the eve of Jiang Qin's return that many scattered Cao Jun's banners and uniforms were found on an unnamed mountain......
Hit the trick!
These people are not the pioneers of the Cao Army at all!
Zhou Tai, who realized it later, had to truthfully inform Jiang Qin, who was already unable to afford to stay on the bed, and was angry.
Jiang Qin reacted a little too radically after learning that he had led the army to toss for a long time, and the result was that he was tricked.
He rolled his eyes directly...... He's dead.
This is already the third general in Sun Quan's camp to die after Sun Jiao and Lu Meng.
Moreover, Jiang Qin is of great significance to Sun Quan, if he wanted to attack Hefei and fight in Xiaoyaojin, if it were not for Jiang Qin, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, and Lu Meng leading the army to kill the enemy, he would have died in the hands of Zhang Liao......
But now, the last of the four generals has actually left him.
After Sun Quan learned the bad news, he deliberately wore plain clothes to mourn for him.
The so-called clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as before.
The old people left one after another, which made Sun Quan feel a sense of desolation and loneliness.
In addition, the 40,000-strong army has lost nearly 5,000, and it has not been able to take Jiangling for a long time, and he has been hit by an arrow in the knee, so Sun Quan will have a feeling that God is targeting him everywhere.
"My lord, Gangneung can only be attacked on the west and south sides. Although I have more than 30,000 people now, it is difficult for me to use all my strength because of this, so why not ask for change? ”
Sun Quan looked at the person who spoke, this person looked heroic, it was Zhu Ran.
Zhu Ran is considered to be Sun Quan's youngest, and he has also been a classmate, and his adoptive father Zhu Zhi is a confidant of the Sun family, with a transcendent status.
And his career did not rely too much on his identity, insisted on starting from the grassroots level, and proved his ability with facts.
Seeing Zhu Ran, Sun Quan's mood was a little better.
"At least I still have Zhu Ran!"
"Yifeng, is there a good plan?" Sun Quan, who was half-lying on the couch, got up with his eyes full of expectation, but he was affected by the injury in his knee, and he immediately grinned in pain.
"The lord is recuperating from his injuries with peace of mind, and he can't stay in the near future." Fu Sun Quan leaned back on the couch, and Zhu Ran continued, "General Lu's failure to quickly take the western line of the Yangtze River must be due to the continuous harassment of Guan Yu's army in his rear.
"Now that Gangneung doesn't need these many horses, if the lord can trust me, why don't you give me 10,000 soldiers? I led the army to pursue Guan Yu, and Lu Boyan could also wait for an opportunity to fight his belly and back with me, so why worry about Guan Yu being undefeated?
"As soon as Guan Yu dies, we will take his head here, and Jiangling will be able to overcome it without a fight."
Zhuge Jin on the side also nodded again and again when he heard it: "Yifeng's words are reasonable, and I think it is feasible." ”
It's just that only Sun Quan, although he also thinks that Zhu Ran's strategy is good, but since he heard that he wants to lead the troops west, he feels that his heart is sudden!
Soon there was even chest tightness, a numb scalp, and eyelids always jumped.
Sun Quan, who felt that God was targeting him, immediately subconsciously said: "No!" ”
After rejecting Zhu Ran's proposal, Sun Quan's discomfort suddenly disappeared, as if it were fake.
Sun Quan, who didn't know what anxiety was, let alone what the symptoms of anxiety would have, immediately felt amazing, and felt that this was a hint from God!
So he strengthened his judgment.
However, Zhu Ran was full of doubts: "Lord, I don't know what's wrong?" ”
Is this a bad plan? He thought it was good.
Zhuge Jin also looked at Sun Quan, he also felt that Zhu Ran's method was very good, and he didn't know why the lord vetoed it so simply.
If this conversation was heard by Liu Chan, he would definitely be heartbroken, beat his chest, and scold Wu Lao Er for not knowing the goods.
What a good strategy to divide 10,000 troops to find yourself? What are you doing with him?
After Sun Quan finished speaking, he was comfortable, but the reason was not easy to find.
You can't say, "I'm afraid you'll be gone as soon as you're gone," right?
After a moment of speech, he said: "There are only a few remnants in Jiangling City, and their casualties are not small these days, but I am afraid that they will not last long." After Jiangling is taken, Lu Xun takes Yiling and Zigui, and it is not too late for our army to go to encircle Guan Yu. ”
Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin glanced at each other, but neither persuaded again.
What the lord said is naturally feasible, and perhaps more secure.
Although Lu Xunjun did not make rapid progress under the harassment of Guan Yu and Liu Chan, it was impossible to say that he would be defeated.
When he defeated Yiling and stuck the natural river pass, Liu Bei's reinforcements would not be able to enter easily.
It's just that...... Sun Quan's judgment that the Jiangling defenders couldn't last long, but they didn't see it......
……
Gangneung Old Town.
"It's been another day...... General Guan, if it doesn't work out, you can leave quickly. Go back to Yizhou as soon as possible, and come back to avenge us in the future, don't be impulsive."
Zhao Lei looked to the west, the remnant sun was like fire, and the sky was red like a moat under the city.
Since the siege of the city by the Wu army, he has almost eaten and lived on the city walls.
Others still have time to take turns to rest, but Zhao Lei only sleeps less than 2 hours a day, and whenever he has time, he inspects the city wall gate to see if there is anything missing.
Wang Zuo is almost like this.
Originally, they also advised each other to rest more and replace each other.
But as soon as they found that as soon as they left the city wall, they could not eat or sleep, and everything was wrong, and finally they looked at each other and smiled, and no one said anything else.
"General, General Guan and Crown Prince...... Will he really come back with an army to save us? A soldier with a cloth wrapped around his shoulders and still bleeding out was a little tired.
To this day, almost all of the soldiers in Gangneung are wounded, but they still have to go up to the city tower to defend.
In the face of the black pressure of the Wu army every day, it is a miracle that they have been able to hold on until now.
When Zhao Lei heard what the soldier said, he immediately put on a relaxed smile: "It's almost over!" According to my calculations, General Guan and the crown prince have definitely destroyed Lu Xun'er's army and are rushing back! Calculating the time, it is estimated that it will not take a few days to arrive.
"As long as we persist in persevering, we will definitely be able to defeat these Jiangdong thieves!"
The wounded soldier grinned: "Good! ”
Similar questions are asked every day.
Zhao Lei and Wang Zuo have to answer similar questions at least a dozen times a day.
But they were not impatient at all, and each time they explained patiently with confidence.
And every time the soldiers got an answer, they had the strength to meet the next wave of charge.
What Zhao Lei and Wang Zuo said, even they didn't believe it.
From the moment they stayed, they had already made up their minds to die.
They just stayed for Guan Yu and Liu Chan to drag the main force of the Wu army and delay time.
As long as General Guan and the crown prince can escape, they will not fight to the death in vain.
The family members have already been sent away by the crown prince, and they have no worries, even if they die in battle, they believe that the descendants of the family will be properly cared for.
The eldest husband is just a death, and it is better for them to die on the battlefield than to die on the sickbed.
But in fact, do the soldiers below really believe their words?
No...... They just want a hope, even if it is so illusory, that it can give them the strength to hold a gun and draw a bow.
They are also afraid of death, but even more afraid of hopelessness.
"I'll tell you a little more about the prince." Shen Zhong, who also volunteered to stay here, said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they immediately came over and formed a circle.
It's a rare daily pastime for them.
"Let's talk about the Emei Mountain again."
"I want to hear about Wufang Mountain!"
Shen Zhong smiled: "Today I will tell you something that you can't say on weekdays." ”
"What?" The appetite of the crowd was aroused.
"Do you know the origin of the prince's name, Adou?"
Everyone was shocked, is this something we can say?
Shen Zhong saw everyone's expressions, waved his hand and said: "The prince has always treated his loyal subordinates like sons and nephews, and he is generous and benevolent.
"Besides, this matter was originally told to me by the prince, otherwise how could I know?"
Only then did everyone's expressions relax, and then even Zhao Lei and Wang Zuo came over with a curious expression, this is gossip that can't be heard anywhere else.
"It is said that the prince's biological mother swallowed Beidou in a dream at night, and only then did she get pregnant, thinking that the prince took the name Adou."
"Oh—" The crowd was amazed.
Don't underestimate the role of these gossips in this era, just like Gaozu Liu Bang, there are many magical rumors about his birth, and many people were willing to follow him back then, and these gossips contributed a lot.
Zhao Lei was shocked when he heard this, and said with a smile after calming down: "Can you know the meaning of Beidou?" ”
The crowd shook their heads.
He also said: "Fighting is an auspicious star, and the four townships are systematized." The prince must be auspicious in this life, and it is unspeakably expensive, just a Jiangdong rat, what can I do? ”
When the soldiers heard this, they also discussed excitedly, changing their previous declining color.
It seems that there is hope for tomorrow to get through again.
However, Zhao Ti did not say everything, he was different from others, and he had some knowledge of the stars out of interest in his spare time.
It's just that now that the emperor is still there, there are some things that he can't say, so he silently hides them in his heart and rots in his belly......
Bucket for the emperor's car, transported in the center, temporary system of four townships!
