Chapter 756
Zhang Zhao is not a premonition. He didn't know that Sun Quan would withdraw his troops so soon, but Zhang Zhao knew that since food and grass could only support Sun Quan's choice of two, if Sun Quan wanted to withdraw his troops, he would definitely give up attacking Xu Du!
Because, even if it is not beneficial to the people or even to the officials, it is definitely more beneficial to his Sun family to take over Yizhou!
At the beginning of the letter, Zhang Zhao stated the benefits of attacking Xu Du for Sun Quan, and the second half was to point out the disadvantages of abandoning Xu Du at this time for Sun Quan.
First of all, this will go against the previous publicity. Isn’t you Sun Quan noble? Isn’t you Sun Quan great? Are you not afraid of difficulties or danger? As a result, there are not many difficulties and no dangers seen. After this withdrawal, Sun Quan’s personality collapsed.
The collapse of the character is still a trivial matter. This is a waste of money and money. You will not beat Xu Du. The most fear is that you are guided by someone who is interested and think that you are the second King You of Zhou who will play with the princes, and the people will lose all their hearts!
Of course, Sun Quan could also pretend to be defeated and had to retreat. But in this way, although the people's hearts are still there, their morale is not there. Although the character has not collapsed, his faith has collapsed! Sun Quan is the god of war in the minds of Jiangdong soldiers. As long as he is there, the morale is high, and he thinks there is no war that cannot be won. Could Sun Quan want to ruin his reputation that he has finally managed?!
Need the hearts of the people? Or the morale of the army? Or both? This question should be a good choice.
Unfortunately, no matter how reasonable Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan was still unshakable. Sun Quan knew very well that what he did was most beneficial to Jiangdong, and he didn't care about those false things. Even if Sun Quan's own ideas were not discussed, Sun Ce was present in the battlefield in Yizhou, which means that the two brothers had the same ideas, and there was nothing to hesitate.
The Sun family’s foothold is the army, so the people’s hearts are chosen, and Sun Quan chose to lose the people’s hearts and protect the morale of the army!
Besides, although Zhang Zhao said the problem so terrible, the people's hearts are actually the best guide. Isn't Xuzhou just in chaos? As long as Sun Quan said that it was to protect the people of Jiangdong from being infringed, he gave up the good situation and had to retreat and return to defend. At that time, the people would probably not be able to thank Sun Quan, so why would they lose the people's hearts?
These civil officials! You must beat them well when you go back. You can give your opinions, but you must be objective, fair and comprehensive, and you must not interfere in the military!
However, even Sun Quan did not expect that at this time, something happened again.
"Lord! Someone outside just now sent you a letter."
"Who?"
The visitor glanced at Diao Chan and replied,
"The person who claims to be Cihang Jingzhai."
Sun Quan frowned, took the letter, and then
boom!
The entire military sandbox was smashed to pieces when Sun Quan was furious.
For a moment, everyone at the scene was so scared that they knelt down and did not dare to move, led by Qiao Xuan.
Although Diao Chan had a bad intuition just now, she never expected that Sun Quan's reaction would be so big.
"What did Cihang Jingzhai say?"
Dou Yuru helped everyone ask questions they wanted to ask but dared not ask, but she was quite gloating on her face.
"Look at it yourself!" Sun Quan threw the letter to Diao Chan.
Dou Yuru came over with interest, while the others could only endure curiosity and continue to kneel down.
When he saw the content on the letter, not only Diao Chan's face was heavy, but even Dou Yuru's face became worse.
Cihang Jingzhai’s meaning is very simple, let Sun Quan conquer Xu Du, and then use Emperor Xian to exchange his son Sun Deng.
After Liu Biao's death, Liu Biao's two sons were not very useful. Cihang Jingzhai put his target on Emperor Xian and brought back the orthodox emperor Xian.
In this regard, Sun Quan had no need for an opportunity, but the latter sentence from Cihang Jingzhai made Sun Quan unable to bear it—
If Sun Quan disagrees, they will immediately take back Jingzhou!
The fourth line is attacked!
In the entire Yangtze River Basin, upstream, middle and lower reaches, the Sun family faces four points of battle, and each point is a different enemy! With one enemy and four, the troops are scattered, and the front line is widened. Even if it is as powerful as Jiangdong, it cannot resist it!
What's more, Jiangdong was facing various problems at this time. There was not much food and grass, and the civil officials opposed it. For a time, there was a momentum that the building was about to collapse.
If Sun Quan can ignore it in Xuzhou, then he has to pay attention to it in Jingzhou.
After taking control of the Yangtze River Basin, although most of the soldiers in Jingzhou have been taken to attack Yizhou by Zhou Yu, Cihang Jingzhai can indeed be said to have taken advantage of the situation, but how could the Yangtze River defense line be easily broken by Cihang Jingzhai?
However, it is not a question of whether to attack or not. Once the war starts in Jingzhou, Jiangdong will not be able to borrow the Yangtze River to transport grain! The Yizhou battlefield is short of food at this time. If you take the land route, the daylily will be cold! Therefore, during this period of time, the Yangtze River Basin must not be in chaos!
"Master, what was the order just now?" Qiao Xuan spoke out and reminded Sun Quan to bring back his thoughts.
Sun Quan frowned,
"Let me think twice."
"yes."
It is very rare that Sun Quan used a skill at this time, and he needed to use the amazed world to think about it.
At this time, if one wrong step is not lost, it will at least make his Sun family unable to relieve themselves within a few years. After missing these years, once Cao Cao and Yuan Shao decide on the outcome, it will be difficult to unify the world in the future!
The difficulty now is that Sun Quan originally had to give up Xu Du and support Zhou Yu fully, and just give them enough time, Yizhou would definitely be able to take it. Then Sun Quan personally took over the base camp, which could also ensure that other aspects would not be in chaos.
But now, with the intervention of Cihang Jingzhai, Sun Quan could not give up Xu Du, or could not give up Xu Du immediately, so they had to face the problem of food and grass. Whether they fought or not, so many soldiers would have to eat here, right? In this way, Sun Quan could not fully support Zhou Yu. Once the food was cut off on the battlefield in Yizhou, all efforts would be in vain. So, for the sake of this, the only way to get Zhou Yu to withdraw?
But if Zhou Yu retreated, the so-called threat of Cihang Jingzhai's attack on Jingzhou would no longer be a threat. Isn't it ridiculous to let their efforts be wasted in one sentence?
But at least one thing is certain that Sun Quan is sure that he cannot leave Xudu for the time being before the first batch of food and grass is successfully transported to the battlefield in Dayizhou.
The time of the fantasy ends and returns to reality.
"All the orders just now are invalid!" Sun Quan ordered very suddenly. His so-called thinking was only one second in the eyes of others. "First transport half of our food and grass to Yizhou to solve the urgent problem. Then let Cheng Pu and Han Dang transport all the surplus grains in Jiangdong to the Yizhou front line, and after delivery, they will stay in Jingzhou to guard the township on the spot."
Qiao Xuan's face changed drastically and he hurriedly said,
"Lord! What about Xuzhou? What about us?"
If Cheng Pu and Han Dang are transferred away, Xuzhou is empty, how can we resist Yuan’s army? All the surplus grains are transported to the Yizhou battlefield, so what about their Xudu battlefield?
