Chapter 320 More Than 60
Chapter 320 More Than 60
The story of Meng Chen leading an army of 60 to defeat Cao Cao spread like a wind throughout Jiangdong!
As a result, after getting the news, Zhou Yu immediately issued an order to withdraw the troops, and went to Wu County in a hurry.

Although Zhao Yun only had [-] cavalry in his hands, Zhou Yu had the ability and confidence to take down Jiang Xia, but under such a background, Zhou Yu had to think carefully.

In Sun Quan's mansion, civil servants and military generals from all walks of life came in a hurry, and each of them had a dignified look on their faces.

Xiliang dispatched 60 troops. This figure made the entire Jiangdong shudder!

About half a stick of incense, the entire meeting hall was already full of people, and Sun Quan sat on the throne with a gloomy face and said nothing.

"General Zhou is here!" Following the announcement, Zhou Yu appeared in front of everyone in a hurry.

"Gongjin!" Sun Quan, who had been lost in thought, got up abruptly.

"My lord, after getting the news, the last general made the decision to retreat without authorization, and please punish me, my lord." Zhou Yu bowed.

"I don't accept military orders abroad. Gongjin is very thoughtful, so what's the crime?"

Sun Quan responded that Zhou Yu's approach was correct, and now is definitely not the best time to fight Meng Chen.

Looking at all the people present, Sun Quan cleared his throat and said, "You must have heard about the defeat of Cao Cao by Xiliang's 60 troops!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present immediately discussed: "My lord, the number of troops dispatched since ancient times has been exaggerated, so don't believe it."

It was Zhang Zhao who spoke. These words were not groundless. Those who led the army and fought knew that if they were really frightened by the figure of 60, what would happen in the future?

"Zi Bu's words are not bad, Xiliang's 60 troops must have moisture." Sun Quan hastily added.

But Sun Quan knew in his heart that the strength of the Xiliang Army was far inferior.

If it wasn't for Sun Shangxiang's slip of the tongue, I'm afraid he himself is still kept in the dark.

"Hey, girls are not allowed to stay!" Sun Quan sighed inwardly.

"My lord, Cao Cao's envoy Xun Yu is still here, why not send someone..." Zhuge Jin stood up and said.

Rather than guessing here, it is better to ask Cao Cao's subordinates.

No matter from that point of view, the number given by Xun Yu is the most convincing.

"What Ziyu said is very true, quickly send someone to invite Xun Yu!"

However, before Sun Quan finished speaking, Xun Yu's voice came out: "Don't bother Marquis Wu, Yu, I'm here uninvited."

Looking at the people walking quickly outside the door, all the civil and military men in Jiangdong immediately focused their attention on Xun Yu.

Everyone was looking forward to Xun Yu giving an accurate answer.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, where is Meng De?" Sun Quan asked immediately.

Now Cao Cao's death is unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. I am afraid that only a core figure like Xun Yu can know his whereabouts.

"Returning to Marquis Wu, Yu doesn't know where the lord is now, but from the news from Xi Junshi, he can be sure that there is nothing wrong with General Dianwei escorting him around."

Sun Quan knew a little about who Dian Wei was, but generals and military divisions at all levels in Jiangdong were skeptical about how powerful this man was.

"Then... is it true that Xiliang's 60 troops are true?" Sun Quan continued to ask, this was the core issue for them to gather here.

"The number of 60 is not true!" Xun Yu said lightly.

As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military men in Jiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Yu frowned for a while and remained silent, as if he already knew the key point.

"Mengchen mobilized Xiliang's army to fight across the board, and successively invaded Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places. According to a rough estimate, the total force is close to 55."

Xun Yu's words made the Jiangdong civil and military people who were already at ease suddenly nervous again!

There is a difference of 55 between 60 and [-], but this [-] is indeed insignificant now.

After all, the entire Jiangdong can only mobilize 18 troops.

If the conscription is reckless, it is estimated that 25 can be recruited, but this number is still only half of the Xiliang Army!
Sun Quan was about to speak, but was preempted by Xun Yu: "According to the news from the military master Xi, the Xiliang army is still gathering continuously, and the target after breaking through Xudu is Jingzhou."

Hearing Xun Yu said that Meng Chen was going to attack Jingzhou, all the civil and military talents in Jiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't come for Jiangdong, everything would be fine.

"Of course, once Jingzhou is lost, Jiangdong will definitely be in danger! Yu made a rough count, and the army led by Meng Chen to the south this time is by no means less than 80."

"hiss!"

As soon as this statement came out, gasps were heard everywhere in the hall. I was still worried about 60 just now, but now it has become 80. Are you still letting people live?

"Sir, be careful!" Zhuge Jin got up and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Ziyu, this is an important matter for military strategists, and it concerns the safety of Jiangdong, how could Yu lie?" Xun Yu said to Zhuge Jin in a serious manner.

Turning his head to look at Sun Quan, Xun Yu continued, "Have Marquis Wu forgotten the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan?"

"This..." Sun Quan was at a loss for words for a while.

The Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan tribes have long been subordinated to Mengchen, and everyone knows this. At first, Sun Quan thought that there would be members of these three tribes in the 60 army, but Xun Yu's words completely shattered his thoughts!

"This is not counting the border guards in Liaodong and the troops in the Western Regions!" Xun Yu had the intention of scaring people to death rather than paying for their lives, and both inside and outside of his words showed that the Xiliang Army was definitely more than 60 people.

For a while, the entire hall was full of discussions, like a vegetable market, but the mainstream topic was the word surrender!

Zhou Yu frowned, turned to look at Sun Quan, and saw that his face was constantly changing, but he did not show the slightest fear.

Based on this, Zhou Yu knew it was time for him to stand up.

"My lord, everyone, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are in the Xiliang Army, the Yangtze River is the barrier in the east of the Jiangdong." As soon as these words came out, the noisy meeting hall immediately became much quieter.

"Not only that, the Xiliang army has a large number of cavalry, but the waterways in the east of the river are not conducive to cavalry operations." After saying this, Zhou Yu smiled at Xun Yu.

"Northern people are not familiar with water, and the Xiliang army is even less good at water warfare. Even if there are millions of mercenaries, why should we be afraid?"

With the last sentence, Zhou Yu amplified his voice, which immediately calmed down the group of surrenderers.

Seeing this, Sun Quan's frown finally eased. Zhou Yu was right. Large-scale battles pay attention to the right time, place and people. Although there are many soldiers in Xiliang, the right time and place are on Jiangdong's side.

"Hahaha, there are outstanding people in Jiangdong. It's embarrassing to have someone like Gong Jin! How embarrassing!" Xun Yu laughed.

Don't look at Zhou Yu's short two or three sentences, but turned the whole atmosphere around. Besides, Sun Quan is not stupid, how could he take the initiative to surrender to Meng Chen?
Just at this time, a scout ran in quickly: "Report, my lord, Mengchen led an army of 25 into Nanjun, aiming directly at Xiangyang."
