A little earlier, Zhao Yan and Wen Ping were still in the southern part of Jingzhou when they were facing off against Lusu.

Lu Su led a small number of troops to wait behind, and he paced back and forth on the top of the mountain, waiting for news from the south.

Although he has absolute confidence in Zhou Yu, Jiangdong has also quietly invested almost all the troops that can fight in Jiaozhou, but the opponent is Cao Wu, who should not be underestimated, and he is not sure of victory.

On the afternoon of the second day, when the road was sealed with wooden cannon stones, he received news from the south.

Lu Su trembled and took the parchment in his hand, the whole person was stunned, and he still felt unbelievable after reading it over and over again.

The letter was written by Zhou Yu himself, and it recorded all the battle reports that had been learned.

Zhou Yu was defeated, Lü Meng was defeated, Jiaozhi, Cangwu, all Jiaozhou counties and counties, and the Jiangdong army were defeated.

Lu Su looked at the long list of the dead, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The foundation of Jiangdong III, elite infantry, cavalry, and almost all the generals who could fight, were all sent to Jiaozhou, but they ushered in such a painful defeat.

He looked south blankly for a while, unable to distinguish the shadow of Jiaozhou, and then turned east to see his newly built beacon tower.

He hoped that this beacon tower could be used as the Great Wall, but the speed of his construction was not as fast as the speed of Cao's army attacking the city, and he finally repaired the beacon tower between him and Jingzhou, but as a result, he occupied Jiaozhou again, and he couldn't repair the beacon tower in Jiaozhou.

All the previous efforts were in vain.

Lu Su looked up to the sky and sighed, and his subordinates' words interrupted his thoughts.

"Sir, the thieves seem to be breaking the way!"

When Lu Su heard this, he looked back and saw that Wen Ping's army was really about to open a way in the narrow mountain road.

The subordinate gestured and asked, "Do you want to kill him?" ”

Lu Su rejected him without thinking.

For the sake of today, if you stay here, you may not encounter Cao Wu's army returning to the north, and finally be attacked by Cao Wu and Wen Ping.

After the defeat and retreat on the battlefield of Jiaozhou, these soldiers and horses in his hands were already the last foundation of Jiangdong and could not be wasted.

"Withdraw!"

Lu Su's heart was heavy, and he only said one word.

"Sir?"

The subordinates were especially unwilling.

"Withdraw!"

Lu Su gritted his teeth and said heavily.

"Whoa!"

The Jiangdong Army immediately withdrew, and before leaving, although the destruction of the mountain road was strengthened, Wen Ping and others could easily resolve it.

On the way back, Lu Suxing thought for a long time, and finally took the pen and wrote a long letter.

Not a reply to Zhou Yu, but to Sun Quan.

In fact, in the eyes of Sun Quan during this period, only Lu Su was his own person, and Sun Quan's trust in Lu Su far exceeded that of Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao.

Soon after, at the edge of Jianye City, which had not yet been expanded, Sun Quan received the news of the defeat of Jiaozhou and a letter from Lu Su at the same time.

Only the foot trainer and Sun Shangxiang accompanied him, they saw with their own eyes that Sun Quan's expression turned from shock to anger, Sun Quan threw Zhou Yu's letter on the ground, only holding Lu Su's letter, and the foot trainer felt that the air around him was frozen.

Sun Shangxiang shrank her head, she felt that since the Battle of Chibi, her brother has become more and more like a real monarch, he no longer pays attention to some details, but likes to play with power tricks to check and balance the relationship between ministers.

The psychological distance between Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang has become farther and farther away, and she was an innocent girl, but in recent days, she has also become a little depressed.

The foot trainer gritted his teeth, slowly picked up the letter, and while picking up the letter, he looked up to observe Sun Quan's expression, and saw that Sun Quan didn't pay attention to himself, so he hurriedly read it.

She doesn't know anything about military affairs, but those who don't understand it anymore are half chilled when they see the shocking battle report.

"How could you lose so badly......

The expression on the step trainer's face was distorted, and then he thought of something, and said hurriedly: "What about the step skull?" Is he still alive? ”

Sun Quan glared at her, and she realized that she had lost her words, she had killed so many people in this battle, she shouldn't have just asked Bu Qiu, a member of her family.

"Xingba has rescued Buqi many times, but he has not succeeded, and I am afraid that now Buqi has fallen into the hands of the enemy. But don't worry, he is a lonely Jiaozhou pastor, and Cao Jun will not embarrass him. ”

Sun Quan finally gave the step trainer a face and explained in a deep voice.

The step trainer gritted her teeth and nodded, a little dazed, the step qi fell into the hands of the enemy, then her step family no longer had the strength of her relatives, which made her worry about the future of her family.

She thought about it and passed the letter to Sun Shangxiang, who was also pale and didn't dare to say anything after reading it.

"Zhou Gongjin, Lone entrusted all his trust to his head, but I didn't expect to lose like this......"

Sun Quan murmured in pain, as if the whole person's spirit had been drained.

Although the Battle of Chibi was lost, half of Cao Cao's naval army was abolished, which can be said to have hurt Cao Cao's muscles and bones.

In the battle of Jiaozhou, they not only lost people and lost generals, but also did not hurt Cao Cao at all.

This one, the loss was too ugly.

Zhou Yu didn't make a reason for himself, but just stated the whole process, and in the end, the ambush soldiers that should have been led by Wei Wen were replaced by Cao Jun, and his defeat was inevitable.

In Lu Su's letter, he analyzed this battle, and Lu Su believed that this battle was the joint efforts of the three geniuses of Cao Wu, Zhuge Liang and suspected Lu Xun to win Zhou Yu alone.

"Three geniuses, three ...... One of them may be someone from Koto! The Jiangdong Lu family is really impatient! ”

Sun Quan laughed, he pulled out his sword, and slashed at the air at will, and the frightened second daughter hid in Tibet.

After slashing for a while, he slammed his sword into the ground again, and said angrily: "Demou is dead!" He's dead! ”

The voice was full of anger and grievance, and the second daughter trembled, not daring to answer.

Sun Shangxiang remembered in a trance that Sun Quan first saw Cao Wu, and actually introduced Cao Wu as a confidant, and the two talked all night, and the relationship was excellent.

Yes, even the veteran Cheng Pu is dead. The letter said that he once charged to a place only a dozen feet away from Cao Wu, but was still killed.

Sun Shangxiang has not understood better than now that Jiangdong is finished, and the foundation is all over.

If she sits in her brother's position, I'm afraid there is only one way to run around.

Jiangdong ministers, can you still come up with a way? She couldn't have imagined it anyway.

Sun Quan's anger continued, and the shout of "swear to kill Cao Wu" resounded through the unfinished Taichu Palace.

Suddenly, a guard hurried over in small steps, and the sound disturbed Sun Quan, Sun Quan turned around, and the guard was frightened by his fiery eyes, and collapsed directly to the ground.

"What's the matter?"

The foot trainer took a few deep breaths and asked the guard.

The guard trembled and returned: "Zhang Changshi is here, waiting outside......"

Sun Shangxiang's ears moved, Zhang Zhao came, Zhang Zhao was the auxiliary minister entrusted to Sun Quan by Sun Ce, and when he heard about the defeat, he was the first to arrive.

But what is the use of him as a Wenchen? lest the anger of my brother be the first to be directed upon him.

Poor hapless bastard.

Sun Shangxiang took a step back and silently prayed for him.

"Xuan."

Sun Quan only said one word, and then returned the sword into the sheath.

After a while, Zhang Zhao came here in a hurry, his expression was solemn, and when he saw Sun Quan, before he could speak, Sun Quan suddenly made a gesture and shook it to the end.

Sun Shangxiang looked at this scene in surprise, Sun Quan, who was angry just now, actually supported Zhang Zhao respectfully like this.

"Old man, Zhong Mou regrets that he did not follow Mr.'s advice, and finally caused this disaster, please save me!"

Zhang Zhao, who was supported by Sun Quan, was stunned there, he prepared a lot of words, some scolding, and some admonitions, but he didn't expect that Sun Quan would have such a humble attitude.

Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, and finally only said one sentence: "Hey, lord, why is this so troublesome!" ”

At this moment, another guard came over and reported back: "Master Gu and others have also arrived." ”

Sun Shangxiang looked back at the door, and Gu Yong, Lu Ji and others were also waiting at the door.

And Zhang Zhao, who she thought was unlucky, was still courteous to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan took Zhang Zhao's hand, asked a few warm words, and suddenly said: "Sir, Zijing has a plan for me, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

At this time, Gu Yong and others also walked in.

"What's the plan, my lord said to hear it?"

Zhang Zhao asked.

"Zijing said that this plan can turn the tide and help the building to collapse."

Sun Quan's words attracted everyone's attention, among which Lu Xun's uncle Lu Ji, who was originally quietly hiding at the end, is now also showing his head.

"He said he wanted us to get married."

Sun Quan glanced at Sun Shangxiang and said, "Marry the daughter of the Sun family to Cao Wu to show friendship." ”
