The Three Kingdoms

Of course, there were quite a few people who actually didn't believe that a young man could lead troops to defend Wu County, and began to remind them in a low voice.

"Bragging? You'd better go to the west city gate to see the tragic battlefield, and then you will know if it's bragging."

"So what about 11 years old, there was Gan Luo in ancient times, and 12 years old was the Prime Minister, Mr. Quan must be a martial arts star, born to fight!" Some people who started to worship Sun Quan said with contempt.

"Let me tell you, my elder brother also participated in this battle, but it was fierce. He saw Mr. Quan go into battle with his own eyes and bravely killed the enemy!"

"That's right. The city gate almost fell that day. If Mr. Quan hadn't fought to the death, Wu County would have been taken by Kuaiji thieves long ago."

Because of this battle, Sun Quan's reputation quickly became a well-known hero in Wu County. At the same time, because of this battle, the Sun family regained the hearts of countless people in Wu County.

With people's hearts, the Sun family can truly take root in Wu County.

The Gu family's mansion, the ** courtyard, has summoned the ancestral hall and passed on the position of the patriarch to Gu Yong. Gu Hong, the former patriarch who relieved the guts of the Gu family, stood in the courtyard and looked at the blooming flowers, his expression becoming more and more relaxed. I read, write, and water the flowers every day. I live happily, as if I have been several years younger.

"Patriarch, the process of this battle is like this. It's not that Wang Langlang has earned his fame, but that the performance of this young man, Sun Quan, is more terrifying than that of ordinary battlefield veterans. Wang Lang's strong attack can be said to be inferior to the casualties. The city gate has failed several times. A little fall, let him block it abruptly." A hunchbacked old man stood respectfully behind him, and reported the progress of the battle in detail.

"Old Mo, you forgot again, I'm not the head of the family anymore!" Gu Hong listened quietly, then smiled lightly, and corrected him seriously.

"The patriarch is the patriarch. In Lao Mo's heart, you will always be the Patriarch of the Gu family!" Lao Mo raised his head and said firmly.

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense with you stubborn old man."

Gu Hong knew the character of his confidant who had been with him all his life, so he didn't care, but said interestingly: "Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou, I thought that Wu County would definitely be captured that day, but I didn't expect him to resist Wang Lang for two whole days." The attack by the elite Kuaiji soldiers is not easy!"

"It's really great."

Old Mo squinted his eyes and nodded: "Especially he used the prisoners as soldiers and supplemented a lot of troops."

"Hehe...Jiangdong Xiaobawang and Jiangdong Master Quan are both first-class young heroes. I don't know what kind of virtue Sun Jian accumulated in his previous life, but he has raised such two sons. What a blessing, could it be their grandson? The family's ancestral grave is too busy?"

Gu Hong sighed, showing a calm smile, and said: "That's fine, at least our Gu family's sacrifice is not worthless, the Gu family's choice is right."

Today, everyone in the Jiangdong gentry knows that the Gu family is already on the side of the Sun family, so the Gu family has been tied to the same boat as the Sun family. The stronger the Sun family is, the more prosperous the Gu family will be.

At the same time, in the Lu family mansion, an old man was also looking at the vast sky, and couldn't help sighing: "Jiangdong tiger, Jiangdong little overlord, Jiangdong son Quan, and the three fathers and sons of the Sun family are all outstanding people, and they are united like no other. Who can stop Jiangdong from such a momentum?" The Sun family?"

Because Lu Kang controls the Lujiang River, the Lu family is tougher than the Gu family. They have always stayed outside the Sun family's regime, neither supporting nor opposing it.

But now, the old patriarch of the Lu family began to tilt his balance towards the Sun family.

Patriarch Lu stood on crutches, staring at the distant sky, his cloudy eyes shot out a gleam, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "If the problem in Lujiang is not resolved for a day, the Lu family will not be able to stand in line, but the old man wants to leave a line for the Lu family." road.

"Come on!"

"Patriarch!" A middle-aged butler came up and said respectfully.

"Go and call Lu Jun back from Jiujiang!" the old Patriarch said firmly.

"promise!"

The middle-aged housekeeper's expression was shocked, without any rebuttal, he immediately said respectfully.

At the same time, the big and small wealthy families in Wu County began to undercurrent, and some families that were originally hostile to the Sun family began to restrain themselves.

Many local gentry began to express their goodwill, selling some grain, salt, iron ore, cloth... to the sheriff's office at a low price.

........................

With the end of this battle, the Jiangdong Army began to clean up the battlefield. The fierce battle, the blood stained the ground, and the corpses piled up and down the west city gate. It is hot summer again.

"The weather is too hot now. It's not safe to bury so many corpses. If a plague breaks out, Wu County will be in big trouble. Set fire outside the city, whether it's the Jiangdong Army or the Kuaiji Army. !"

"Also, people are already dead, so they are burned separately, and the ashes of each corpse must be found in an urn and put in it."

"When you deal with it, be careful and hurry up. The battlefield must be cleaned up today."

Sun Quan knew that the way the ancients handled the corpses was too sloppy, and they didn't understand hygiene, so accidents would inevitably happen, so he came out to command the Jiangdong Army and deal with the battlefield just after he had recovered and bandaged a few wounds on his body.

The county guard recruited [-] civilians from the county seat, plus [-] infantry reinforcements who came back after the battle. The battlefield was cleaned quickly so that the corpses would not rot.

At the end of August in Jiangdong, the temperature continued to rise. This matter must not be ignored. If the plague broke out due to improper handling, Wu County, the number one city in Jiangdong, would be finished. Plague is a natural disaster in this era and cannot be saved. , Tens of thousands of deaths per death.

"Young master, burn all the corpses? The Kuaiji army will be put away. Our own soldiers, this is not appropriate!" Zhang Zhao frowned, and some objected. The Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, and Confucianism paid attention to people. After death, buried in the ground for peace.

"There is nothing inappropriate!"

Sun Quan shook his head, sighed, and said: "This battle was too tragic. The two sides together killed nearly 2 people. The number of corpses is too large. It takes several days to bury soldiers. If the corpse rots and a plague is born, Wu County will be in trouble."

"Plague?" Zhang Zhao's heart sank, and he no longer objected to Sun Quan's cremation.

"By the way, have we registered the names of all the brothers who died in this battle?" Sun Quan couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart as he looked at the bloodstained and dilapidated west gate.

Of the 300 Jiangdong Army, 1 county soldiers, 800 young and strong, and more than [-] prisoners, there are more than [-] people in total. Only more than [-] people survived, and more than [-] people were killed or injured.

This battle was led by Sun Quan himself, and it was the most tragic battle he had ever experienced.

"Master, Zhaodu has already recorded them one by one." Zhang Zhao is now more convinced of Sun Quan, and nodded respectfully.

"Zhang Changshi, when you are repairing the city wall, set up a monument for me on the city wall and write their names on it. I will let the people of Wu County remember what they have done for this county. Live your life!"

Sun Quan's eyes were a little wet. He was not really a soldier. He couldn't bear to see the corpses of the living people he brought to the battlefield.

"No!" Zhang Zhao's eyes lit up, and his keen intuition told him that Sun Quan's small move was a great opportunity to buy people's hearts.

In this era, reputation is very important, and leaving a name in history is the dream of every scholar. If this monument is erected, it will cheer up the entire Jiangdong Army.

"Yuhang Ling Cao pays homage to Mr. Quan!" Ling Cao walked up to the top of the city wall and looked at Sun Quan, who was standing on the city wall, wearing a brocade robe and a little thin, with a respectful expression on his face. Sun Quan led his troops to fight Wang Lang's fierceness to the death.

This young man cannot be judged by his age, only the way those Jiangdong soldiers who survived the sea of ​​swords and blood looked at him, Ling Cao knew that this young man was not only noble.

"Ling Cao?"

Sun Quan glanced back at the young man, always feeling that the name was somewhat familiar, as if one of the twelve tiger ministers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty was named Ling Tong, wondering if there was any relationship between them?

"My lord, all the captives of Kuaiji County Soldiers have been detained in a military camp outside the city. I have ordered people to divide them into guards. Their numbers have been counted. There are only 320 soldiers in the Kuaiji Army. What should they do?" Deal with it?" Ling Cao cupped his hands to Sun Quan and reported.

Sun Quan had Sun Jian's tiger talisman in his hand. Before Sun Jian led his troops back, everything in Wu County, including government affairs and military affairs, had to be obeyed by Sun Quan.

"How to deal with it?" Sun Quan's eyes were fierce, but it disappeared quickly.He really wanted to kill them all, but kill the prisoners?His Sun Quan is not yet.

"By the way, there are more than 300 of them seriously injured. Without the order of the young master, the doctors dare not treat them. It is still unknown whether they will survive." Ling Cao added.

"On the battlefield, you will die and live. The bandit leader is already dead. They are just soldiers who obey orders. You let the doctor do their best to save them. It doesn't matter if they are slightly injured or seriously injured. Save those who can be saved. Don't eat too much, don't drink too much, take care feed them."

Sun Quan sighed, and finally shook his head. The soldiers who can survive this battle, whether it is the Jiangdong Army under his command or the soldiers of Kuaiji County, as long as they have been drilled for a period of time, they are definitely the elite among the elite. , This group of people is considered a victory.

"No!" Ling Cao's eyes lit up and he nodded.
