Chapter 305: The Time Has Come
Sun Shao's face was a little solemn until this time, and he said: "If the Eastern Route Army is correct in the north, it should be Cao Xiu who leads the troops to attack...... Zhang Liao also led troops to accompany him, and the ministers expected that this way was the place where the victory and defeat were.
"If he comes from the east road to attack, he must pass through the entrance of the cave, and the minister thinks that he is elected as a person who can take on a great responsibility, and goes to the entrance of the cave to defend against the enemy."
The ministers of Jiangdong, especially Sun Quan, couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts when they heard the name Zhang Liao.
Too painful memories will inevitably leave a psychological shadow on people, especially Sun Quan, who was once led by Zhang Liao with a small number of cavalry and almost hated Xiaoyaojin, is even more sensitive to this person's name.
But after all, Sun Quan is also the leader of the party with a good heart, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.
He saw that most of the ministers were frightened, and he was busy patting the case: "Hmph! What about Zhang Liao, no matter how brave his cavalry is, can he still make the horses tread the waves? ”
That's right, no matter how fierce Zhang Liao is, after all, if he doesn't have a water war, can he still ride a horse and gallop on the river?
When the ministers heard this, their fear in their hearts was slightly reduced.
"What the king said is extremely true, Zhang Liao Pifu led troops to invade the territory, and he must be asked to teach me the power of the Eastern Wu Naval Army."
"Exactly, even though I am invincible in land battles, I am not afraid of him in the water battles of Dongwu!"
A few people didn't know whether to cheer others up or comfort themselves, so they echoed their words.
It's just that the words of a few people are obviously lacking in confidence, and as soon as they speak, they bow down to others first......
But after all, the courtiers were not as frightened as Fang Cai, and Sun Quan hurriedly said: "Not bad! This time, he dared to lead troops to commit Wu, just to avenge the previous revenge of Hefei! Gentlemen, who is willing to go to the east for the widow to make enemies? ”
A few people who were clamoring just now to let Zhang Liao lead the way immediately lowered their heads when they heard this, as if they were integrated with the mat under them, and their sense of presence plummeted......
Sun Quan looked around at the ministers, and suddenly felt angry in his heart.
Whenever I can't help but think at this time, if Zhou Lang and Lu Zijing are still here, why is this?
Even Lu Meng and Lu Xun can also share the worries of the widows......
Sun Shao is good at overall strategy, internal affairs and logistics, but he can't really lead troops to the front line to command operations.
At this moment, a person stood up and spoke: "The king, the minister Lu Fan, I am willing to reject the enemy!" ”
Sun Quan looked fixedly, and one person stood proudly in the hall, it was General Jianwei, who also led Danyang Taishou, and Wanling Marquis - Lu Fan, Lu Ziheng.
Lu Fan has a majestic temperament and an extraordinary appearance, and at this time, he is wearing a set of superb Shu brocade clothes that he just spent a lot of money from Zhao's firm not long ago, which is even more extravagant.
Lu Fan is also an old minister who has followed and served since the time of Sun Ce, first following Sun Ce to break the Lujiang River, Ke Chen Yu, Dingqi County, and then following Zhou Yu to conquer Chibi, which can be said to have made great contributions to the Sun family in Jiangdong.
He was originally a county official in Runan, not a local scholar in Jiangdong, so he won the trust of Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers.
Of course, no one is perfect, and Lu Fan dismisses the argument of advocating frugality.
Wear the top Shu brocade, drink the cellar wine, eat every meal is not tired of fine food, do not get tired of fine ...... When it comes to the extravagance of life, the local clans in Jiangdong must bow down.
At the beginning, in order to open up the Jiangdong high society market, Steward Zhao worked this person, and Lu Fan can be called the first person to lead the luxury trend in Jiangdong.
Even the gorgeous shape of the clothes on his body is comparable to the king's clothes on Sun Quan's body.
However, when Sun Quan looked at him at this time, instead of being annoyed, he got up with a happy face and said: "General Lu is willing to share the worries of the country, and the heart of the widow is very comforting, hahaha." ”
Someone once made a small report behind his back, saying that Lu Fan's clothes were out of line.
At that time, Sun Quan used the excuse of "Guan Zhong is more than courteous, Huan Gong is excellent and tolerated, and it will not affect Yu Ba", and no one dared to attack Lu Fan with this question after that, why?
Just because of one point, he is really on something!
Then another person got up and bowed his hand, and said loudly: "Minister Zhu Ran, I am also willing to go to meet the enemy!" ”
Seeing that Fa Xiao also stepped forward at this critical moment, Sun Quan's bad mood was swept away, and he smiled: "Good, good!" You are all loyal ministers and good generals of the country, haha. ”
Although there is no Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun, there are still loyal and righteous ministers and wise and brave juniors in Jiangdong!
Sun Quan was suddenly in high spirits and waved his big hand.
"Lu Fan listens to orders!"
"The minister is here."
"The widow appointed Ru as a former general, a fake festival, changed the title of Nanchang Marquis, commanded 50,000 troops, and went to the entrance of the cave to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!"
"Zhu Ran listened."
"The end will be."
"Today, you are the general of the expedition to the north, the marquis of Huailing, and lead the people of the headquarters to assist General Lu to meet the enemy together."
Lu Fan is old, he has eaten and seen, and he is quite calm.
Zhu Ran's hands trembled slightly, he looked very excited, and clenched his fists and said loudly: "King Xie!" If Cao Jun wants to enter my Dongwu from the entrance of the cave, he needs to break the bones first! ”
"Well, since that's the case, the widow will wait for the good news of the two generals."
Throughout the ages, most people waited for meritorious service to be rewarded and official positions were appointed and dismissed.
However, Sun Quan's unprecedented pre-war worship of generals and even marquis shows the importance he attaches to this battle.
If you lose, you will lose the country, and if you win, you will prosper the country, and you have to pay attention to it.
But in addition, Sun Quan also has other intentions......
The East Road is so critical, he only gave Lu Fan 50,000 soldiers, it's not that he doesn't want to give more, but he can't.
After the recovery of Eastern Wu, if he uses the power of the whole territory, he can do it even if he squeezes out 200,000 soldiers and horses.
But there are not many people who can really be sent out to be of great use, and the other three major families in Jiangdong, after witnessing Lu Xun's tragic death and the decline of the Lu family, are reluctant to be cannon fodder anymore.
And if the battle situation on the front line is unfavorable, maybe you will still be holding back to turn over...... At that time, the matter of tying up Sun Quan and dedicating it to Cao Pi may not be impossible to do.
Therefore, he must set aside enough central army to deal with "unforeseen needs", and the Zhu family, which is the most firmly bound to the Sun family, can still be the first in trouble.
Sun Quan's vigorous promotion of Zhu Ran is not a simple petty feeling.
This is not only to stimulate other families by setting an example, telling them to eat meat if they dare to go up, and not to shrink in the back...... Eating is not hot.
At the same time, he is also taking advantage of this opportunity to raise those who are loyal to his Sun family to a high position.
At the moment of the great enemy, people dare to fight bravely, even if I promote my own people faster, you can't say anything, right?
Although Zhu Ran also knew these things in his heart, he was still young after all, and his sudden promotion, especially the feudal marquis, still made him excited.
Zhu Ran in history was originally named the Marquis of Yong'an.
Yong'an is also the White Emperor City, where Lao Liu was supposed to be orphaned after the defeat of Yiling.
Now that the battle of Yiling has not happened, Liu Sun has reunited the alliance, just like Lao Liu changed his son's territory to be crowned king, Sun Quan will naturally not seal any more Yong'an Hou.
……
And the protagonists of the original White Emperor Tuogu soon saw the messenger sent by Sun Quan.
"Your Majesty, the Cao thief led troops to attack, and now the Sun-Liu Alliance should advance and retreat together. Solving the predicament of King Wu is also to avoid the danger of Jing Yi's imminent danger, and I hope that His Majesty will send troops as soon as possible. ”
Liu Bei solemnly looked at Sun Quan's handwritten letter, put it on the case, and said with a kind smile: "You and I have cold lips and teeth, and I naturally know the stakes. However, the use of troops involves a great deal of urgency, and it cannot be decided in a single word.
"Come and make it come far to toil, and go to the inn to rest for a while. When I convened the ministers to discuss, I naturally dispatched troops to help King Wu and break Cao's army together. ”
He bowed, "Yes." Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, Your Majesty should be cautious. In this case, the minister retired first and waited for news from His Majesty. ”
Seeing off the envoy from Dongwu, Liu Bei got up and took his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly.
After being chased for most of my life, it's finally time for a full-scale counteroffensive!
