Chapter 2249 between brothers
The Zhen family is a large clan in Zhongshan and is a powerful sect in northern Hebei. This time, it played an important role in the attack on Zhongshan. Zhen Mi has always been competitive. With such an opportunity, she will inevitably be complacent, so Sun Ce took the opportunity to hit her.
Besides, she said that being old and annoying may not be a thoughtless statement. The only one who can suppress her in the palace is the sisters of Yuan. Although she tried her best to please her, she was not successful. At least Yuan Quan did not show his preference for her, and his hot face was pressed against her cold butt, and he felt a little resentful. Seeing that Yuan Quan was getting older and his color was getting worse, he often said a few sarcastic words. Even Yuan Quan herself realized this and often felt pity and hurt herself, lamenting that her youth was fleeting. But Sun Ce could not give her such a chance. Yuan Quan's harem was the longest and Yuan Heng's harem was the most respected. Neither of these could be offended. Once this opening was made, the harem would be in peace.
Zhen Mi is also a clever person. After hitting a soft nail, she knew that Sun Ce was determined and did not dare to provoke him anymore. She immediately became obedient and arranged toiletries to wait for Sun Ce to go to bed. She was eighteen this year, and this time she went to her hometown again. The opportunity to sleep naturally fell on her.
Sun Ce was considering tomorrow's war, a little absent-minded. After washing his feet, he felt that it was still early, so he took out a book to read it. Just as he was watching, someone outside informed him that Sun Quan asked for a meeting. Sun Ce was a little surprised. Although Sun Quan was in charge, he rarely asked for a meeting on his own initiative. He was also a business in the military discussion. He was like other lieutenants and chief lieutenants, and there was nothing special about it. How did he ask for a meeting today?
Sun Ce thought about it and ordered someone to let Sun Quan come in. After a while, Sun Quan entered the tent, put on his helmet and armor, and had a long sword hanging around his waist. He was so powerful that he was three points of mighty. Sun Ce was quite satisfied. It was still very hot in the late autumn. It was a good thing that Sun Quan could strictly demand himself.
“Not rest yet?”
Sun Quan bowed and bowed to the court. "Go back to the king, the night training has just finished."
Sun Ce nodded. He knew what Sun Quan had done to practice more, and the battalion he led was very eye-catching in several exercises. This is certainly because others made him three points, and it is also inseparable from his own hard work. In addition to daily training, he had to practice for an hour every night, and he even studied until late at night every night, and several battle records were ruined by him.
Sun Ce pointed at the opposite side and signaled Sun Quan to take his seat. Sun Quan bowed and thanked him and knelt across from Sun Ce. "It's so late, what's wrong?"
"Uh, there's something private." Sun Quan looked around and lowered his voice. "Zhen Jun sent two women, I don't know if I should accept it?"
"Zhen Yan?"
"Um."
Sun Ce pondered for a moment. "What kind of woman?"
"I asked, one of them was Zhang and the other was Shanyang." Sun Quan secretly looked at Sun Ce and said, "I heard that there are several other generals, and they are all good women."
Sun Ce understood. The Zhen family wanted to do the best of the land and land, unite with the powerful Zhongshan, and marry the generals. It is hard to say that the surname Zhang may be Zhen Yan's mother clan, or it may not be. The surname Shanyang is rare. It should be Zhen Yan's wife clan, which is considered a relatively heavy investment. Without profit, Zhen Yan is willing to invest so much, so it is naturally because of Sun Quan's unique identity.
"If you like it, accept it, don't delay the main business."
Sun Quan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "Hey." But he sat still. Sun Ce saw it clearly and knew that he had something to say. He smiled and said, "Zhongmou, you have worked hard recently. I am very pleased. I believe Ahon and Ah Mother will be happy if she knows it."
"I am making meritorious service for my crime and should work hard to repay my brother's kindness for not killing me."
Sun Ce waved his hand and interrupted Sun Quan. "Brother, you don't have to do this. Do you have any ideas?"
Sun Quan was a little embarrassed, holding his hands together and rubbed them. "My brother has been training in school recently and has some experience. This time, this time I attacked Lu Nu, can I have the opportunity to join the war and verify what I have learned."
Sun Ce glanced at Sun Quan, twisted his fingers, and didn't say anything for a long time, and the smile on his face disappeared. It seemed that no matter how many books Sun Quan read, it was useless. His eagerness to make quick success and instant benefits could not be changed. He had only been training for two months and thought about starting the first time, and he did not think about how many years had been trained by the other battalions of the Central Army.
"Zhongmou, are you interested in besieging Guan Yu tomorrow?"
"Guan Guanyu?" Sun Quan was shocked and his face looked a little ugly. The plan to fight Guan Yu was still limited to Yicong Battalion. The other battalions of the Central Army had not received orders yet, and Sun Quan was not sure. He didn't know whether Sun Ce was trying him or whether it was true. He was unable to make up his mind for a moment, and he was a little angry. It seemed that the hard work of the past few months had not won the eyes of his elder brother, and Sun Ce had not let him go. "My brother has not received the relevant orders."
"The plan I just planned will be announced tomorrow morning."
Sun Quan's face changed a few times. He knew Guan Yu's strength. The starting player would inevitably bear the greatest pressure and casualties. Maybe Guan Yu would be beheaded in the last battle. Not to mention how strong Guan Yu's ability to use troops was, he was famous for killing the battle. But at this point, if he did not dare to agree, he would probably not have a chance in the future. Sun Quan gritted his teeth and bowed.
"I listen to Brother Wang's arrangements. If Brother Wang feels that Brother Wang is suitable, I will never refuse to die."
Sun Ce smiled silently. He shouted fiercely and admitted his timidity in his heart. This is Sun Quan's background. He is flexible and suitable for being a politician. He is not suitable for being a general, but he doesn't know himself. It's really speechless. "Don't be anxious, and you will consider it when you go back. If you want to go into battle, ask for battle tomorrow when the military discussion is held tomorrow. If you are not sure, don't fight tomorrow. Anyway, there will be a chance in the future."
Sun Quan let out a long sigh of relief, not daring to speak anymore, bowing to ask for a withdrawal. When he was out of the tent, he happened to meet Master Bu holding a bunch of drawings. Sun Quan quickly glanced at Master Bu. A ray of light flashed in his blue eyes, and then he hurriedly left. Master Bu kept lowering his head, not looking at Sun Quan, but could feel Sun Quan's gaze, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. After entering the tent, he knelt on the opposite side of Sun Ce, and spread the drawings on the table.
"King, this is the formation map that Jun Jun Liu just drew. Please review it."
In Yecheng, dark clouds were covered with thunder, rumbling after rumbling, the wind was blowing the fallen leaves, and the blow became tighter and tighter, making the torches on the top of the city whistle.
Liu Bei stood on the south gate tower, looking at the lights on the small city tower in the distance, and couldn't help but curse.
Feng Ji stood behind him, holding the military newspaper he had just received, and his mood was ups and downs like a torch, and could be blown out at any time. A heavy rain was about to come as scheduled, but he couldn't be happy. Even if he conquered Yecheng, what if Sun Ce broke into Zhongshan and caught them off guard. In addition to the thousands of soldiers in the city, only 10,000 people from Guan Yu's troops outside the city could reinforce. The main force led by Liu Bei was still in Yecheng, and it would take at least three to five days to rush back to Zhongshan.
Although Sun Ce had only 30,000 people, he was the most elite central army. Both military or training were the best in this era. According to Liu Bei's estimate, the combat power of these 30,000 people was enough to match 100,000. In other words, if Sun Ce attacked Lunu City, it would take only one or two days. If there were the assembly teams of the Hebei clans to support Sun Ce, the Zhongshan Kingdom would have actually been destroyed.
All hope is placed on Guan Yu now. If Guan Yu can provide timely reinforcements, even if Sun Ce cannot be defeated, Sun Ce can still be divided into troops, unable to attack Lu Nu with all his strength, or he can still gain some time.
The problem is that Liu Bei was confused by this sudden news, and even frightened. He stood on the city wall and thought for a long time before scolding such a swear word without any practical meaning.
Feng Ji couldn't help but remind him. "King, you should stop and suffer from chaos."
Liu Bei turned his head to look at Feng Ji. Under the firelight, his face was a little pale, a little hideous, full of despair, but he was like a desperate beast. He wanted to escape and was ready to fight with others at any time. Feng Ji was shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"When you meet a friend, tell me, how should you break up?"
Feng Ji swallowed quietly and forced himself to calm down. From the moment he learned that Lu Nu was surrounded, he knew that he had made a mistake. He did not see through Sun Ce's real purpose, and was determined to capture Yecheng, which made Sun Ce take advantage of the loophole. At this moment, Liu Bei had no place to stand in Youji, and if he wanted to save his life, he had to retreat westward.
But he could not admit this mistake, otherwise Liu Bei would not only not trust him anymore, but might also kill him directly in anger. Liu Bei was not Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan and his son, he was just a ranger and had no scruples to kill.
"The king thinks that Guan Hou can return to Lu Nu in time?"
Liu Bei thought about it and nodded. "Based on time, Yun Chang should still be in Zhuo County. When he received the news, he would definitely return to help."
"How long can Guan Hou hold Sun Ce? Ten days or half a month?"
Liu Bei frowned. He actually had no confidence in how long Guan Yu could support him. Guan Yu was good at fighting. If he were other opponents, Guan Yu might be able to directly break the opponent and remove the siege of Lu Nu. But this time he faced Sun Ce, he had no confidence at all. Moreover, he was a little dissatisfied with Feng Ji. When was it time, and he was still playing tricks?
"What about ten days, what about half a month?"
Feng Ji raised his hand and pointed to the dark cloudy sky. "It's time to take Yecheng for three or five days. After taking Yecheng, he sent a general to guard it and then return to Zhongshan. If Guan Hou could last more than ten days, the king could rush back to Zhongshan and fight against Sun Ce at the city. If Guan Hou could not support him for ten days and Zhongshan was lost, the king could not hold on even if he had Yecheng. However, he would be better to abandon him if he had ended up in a dilemma like Yuan Tan."
"Give it?" Liu Bei pondered for a moment, but suddenly realized it in his heart, but refused to say it himself. "Where will I go?"
"Go to Bingzhou and be the left wing of the court."
