Han counter current

Even Lu Su, who has always been known as an honest man, couldn't stay idle at this time. He was usually low-key, but it didn't mean he didn't want to make contributions. Besides, this was an excellent opportunity, so it was too late to miss it.

However, Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, hesitated again and again. On the table in front of him, on the left was the information and plans sent by Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and others, and on the right was a letter.

This letter was sent by Liu Bei, but it was signed by Zhuge Liang.In the letter, Zhuge Liang once again mentioned the marriage between the two parties, and at the same time exaggerated the situation of going north to fight the Northern Xinjiang Army a lot.

Sun Quan could feel the fierceness and strength of the northern army from Zhuge Liang's letter, and Zhuge Liang mentioned in the letter that the two sides joined forces to form a plan for the south, which also moved his heart.

To be honest, since he took over the family business from his elder brother until now, what he thinks about the most is to defend the territory of Jiangdong. As for going north to Jingxiang and advancing to the Central Plains, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, it's just that Every time he thinks about it, he always feels uneasy.

Over the years, he has used a series of methods to win the loyalty of the generals, using emotional cards and promises to make Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other veterans surrender their military power and serve as idlers for the elderly.

Then he used the monarch's oppression and public opinion to force Zhou Yu to resign due to illness and hand over his military power.Although Zhou Yu's idle job is still the nominal governor, but under his command, he can only mobilize the Poyang Navy.

In these years, no one can understand Sun Quan's sadness, no one can understand the bitterness in his heart.He built Jiangdong into his own kingdom, and only he himself knows what he has paid for it.

Attacking Jingxiang and breaking Jiangxia, he is not ignorant of such victories and temptations, but at the same time, he also knows that if he nods his head in agreement, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Once Zhou Yu leads the army, he must be the governor in charge of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses again. If he wins consecutive battles at that time, what will I get to reward him?I think when he first took over Jiangdong, the army only knew the governor of Zhou, but he didn't know who Sun Quan was.

In addition, the attitude of the local aristocratic families in Jiangdong is not clear enough about this war. Sun Quan still dare not make a rash decision. You can only compromise.

"To fight, or not to fight?"

Sun Quan said something to himself. When he was bored, he remembered the words Sun Ce said before he died, and the anger in his heart rose inexplicably.

"In terms of success, of course I surpass you. Hmph, in terms of expanding territory, you are no match for me. After so many years, if it weren't for my painstaking efforts, Jiangdong would not be in such a situation."

Involuntarily, Sun Quan scolded a few words angrily. The most annoying thing in his life is that people compare him with Sun Ce. His father often did this when he was a child. When he grows up, others only see the heroic and mighty Sun Bofu , and when it comes to Sun Quan, most people call him Bi Yan'er.

Perhaps, Sun Quan didn't realize that most of the time his feelings were just imposed on himself.Now, Sun Ce has been dead for so many years. In Sun Ce's old department, only Tai Shici was in charge of the army. The rest of them were either demoted, or they had already become Sun Quan's lackeys. Up to now, who would dare to fight against Sun Ce? Compare.

"Come here, send someone to ask, where is the governor now?"

"My lord, a soldier came to report two hours ago. The governor is not feeling well. He has just set off from Poyang camp and is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."

As Sun Quan's running dog, Pan Zhang would show his utmost loyalty whenever Sun Quan said a word.With the chaos in Xiangyang, no matter how stupid Sun Quan was, he would summon Zhou Yu for questioning. After all, no one in Jiangdong could match Zhou Yu in terms of military ability.

"That Gan Ning, what have you been doing lately?"

Sun Quan's thinking jumps very fast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to take up his words. He was still asking Zhou Yu just now, and now he is talking about a naval captain.

"According to the reports from his subordinates, Gan Xingba has been training hundreds of his subordinates, and occasionally took people to patrol the Yangtze River border. Recently, he has been paying attention to Jiang Xia."

"Hmph, you don't have much power, but you have a lot of courage."

Sun Quan snorted coldly. As for Gan Ning, he naturally knew that he was a fierce general, but last time the envoy from Northern Xinjiang killed someone in Jiangdong and then escaped from Jiangdong, which made Sun Quan very annoyed.

Gan Ning revealed the information. At that time, Sun Quan thought that Gan Ning was sincerely seeking refuge, but he didn't want to. According to Gan Ning's information, Pan Zhang and the others not only failed to catch anyone, but were even tricked.

From then on, Sun Quan did not believe in Gan Ning's loyalty.In addition, Gan Ning's reputation is not good, and the word "Jin Fan Thief" is a stain he will never erase, so Sun Quan still suppresses Gan Ning until now.

"What is Tai Shi Ziyi doing now? Has he visited that person recently?"

"Well, General Taishi is recuperating and training in Danyang. The local barbarians rebel from time to time. If there is no General Taishi in the battle, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

For Tai Shici, Pan Zhang still has a little respect. After all, he was a military general on the same level as Sun Ce back then, and his riding and archery skills were the best in Jiangdong. The guidance, so there is still a little respect in the words.

"Pirates invaded Kuaiji from time to time. Since General Taishi is interested, he has to take a hard trip. Come and pass on my order to order Taishici to lead his troops into Kuaiji to wipe out the local pirates.

He Qi was ordered to go to Danyang to train soldiers and horses to beware of the Shanyue barbarians. In addition, he ordered Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to move to the Yangtze River border defense, so I kept a close eye on Huang Zu in Jiangxia. "

Although he didn't know why Sun Quan gave such an order, Pan Zhang quickly went down to deliver the order. He was just an errand runner, so there was no need to delve into the meaning of Sun Quan's words.

But at this moment, the whole south was full of excitement. Even in the north, Chen Feng, with Ma Chao as his general and Pang De as his deputy, led [-] cavalry to hunt down Liu Bei. It seemed that the flames of war were bound to spread to the south.

Chapter 751 Unstoppable Power 2

When the cold wind blew across the city of Xiangyang in late autumn, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and the others could only feel the chills. It had been more than a month since the adventurous rebellion.

During this month, a series of changes occurred in Jingzhou.

Wenpin fled to the south, and his entire army was almost wiped out under the city of Xiangyang. Cai Mao defended the city and was assassinated many times.

Liu Bei originally wanted to lead an army of more than 2 under his command to go south to retake Xiangyang, but he didn't want the defenders in the city to be high-spirited, so he insisted on holding on.

Then Ma Chao led [-] elite cavalry to kill from the north. This time, he learned his lesson. Zhuge Liang set traps many times, but Ma Chao just didn't fall for it.

Later, Liu Bei was unbearable to face the enemy, and the generals of the Jingzhou faction such as Cai Mao in the city continued to send people to contact Liu Bei's subordinates, dividing some of the Jingzhou soldiers, which made Liu Bei's strength continue to weaken.

In the end, Liu Bei had to lead the remaining more than 1 subordinates to flee to Changsha, and after joining the troops stationed in Changsha, Liu Bei gained a firm foothold.

In the middle, there are also many small episodes.Ma Chao chased and killed Liu Bei's army all the way, from Xiangyang to Changbanpo, and then killed along the road to Changsha. Liu Bei had no organized cavalry to fight against him. Ma Chao was beaten terribly, and finally less than [-] troops arrived in Changsha .

After arriving in Changsha, the first thing Liu Bei did was to punish the general Chen Dao.The disadvantage of defending the city, failing to protect the mistress, and not being able to go north to meet the main force during this period of time, etc., these are the reasons why Chen Dao was punished.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Chen Dao is just Liu Bei's scapegoat and Liu Bei's doormat.After all, he suffered setbacks when going north, suffered so many defeats, lost so many territories, and his reputation became bad. Liu Bei needed someone to bear these consequences.

It is certainly impossible for him to bear it, and it is even more impossible for Zhuge Liang. Sima Yi still has thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and Liu Bei has no way to move him. In the end, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang combined to determine the honest man Chen Dao.

On the other hand, Ma Chao made great achievements in chasing down the enemy army, and made many gains along the way. He completely expelled Liu Bei's forces from Xiangyang, which is considered to be a great contribution. Five thousand were stationed at the police to deter Changsha.

Later, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others united with the remaining aristocratic families in Xiangyang City, and everyone agreed to welcome Chen Feng into Jingzhou, and no one opposed it.

After all, Chen Feng's vanguard general had already reached the police territory, and the local soldiers and horses had long been captured or expelled.And Chen Feng's main force also set off from Xinye at this time and was about to arrive at the city of Xiangyang.

If anyone really has the guts to say that they disagree with Chen Feng's entry into Jingzhou, I am afraid that the elite of the northern border army will soon enter Xiangyang City. After all, their strength lies there.

"Everyone, General Hussars is coming soon. Don't go back on what we have discussed before. The whole north is now in the hands of Generals Hussars, and even Cao Cao has been defeated.

Liu Bei's son is now hiding in Changsha, and I have no army in Jingzhou to resist the pace of the Hussar General. If there is anyone who doesn't understand the situation and wants to half-heartedly, it will only drag my Jingzhou family into the abyss. "

At the gate of the city, Cai Mao looked at the family heads and generals behind him, trying to persuade them.At this juncture, he was really afraid that such a stunned young man would come to disrupt the situation and anger Chen Feng, and he really didn't know what to do.

"General Wen, General Wang, you are all famous generals in the army. Do you think the existing Jingzhou army has the strength to fight against the elite of northern Xinjiang?"

Looking at Wenpin and Wang Wei, Cai Mao asked peacefully, and everyone also focused their attention on these two generals.

After the two looked at each other, they both smiled wryly and shook their heads.On that day, Wenpin escaped from Liu Bei's camp and led his troops to the city of Xiangyang. As a result, both sides fell into Zhuge Liang's tricks, and Cai Mao fought Wenpin at that time.

In the end, if Wang Wei hadn't tried his best to persuade him to make peace, Wen Pin would have died under Xiangyang City.And Cai Hao finally realized that the poor guy Wenpin had been played by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and the bad breath in his heart disappeared.

Now, they are all discussing this issue as Jingzhou locals. The direction of Jingzhou local families and the prosperity and decline of Jingzhou local families are in their hands. Whether they live or die is their own choice.

"Report, report, there is a large group of cavalry ten miles to the north, and the leading general will fight under the banner of Gongsun."

Soon, a messenger passed the news to the gate of the city, and everyone immediately became busy.Those who lined up lined up, and those who played the horns played the horns. In short, they made a lot of noise.

Chen Feng has already ruled the north, and his power is not something that the local army in Jingzhou can resist.You know, these aristocratic families in Xiangyang City have completely offended Liu Bei, and they have no way out.
