When Zhou Yu and Xu You arrived overnight, all the soldiers and horses in Moling were ready, just waiting to send out troops.
"Why is the governor here?" Ling Tong saw Zhou Yu and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Gongji, where is my lord?" Zhou Yu came forward with Xu You and asked.
"We are discussing something in the main hall!" Ling Tong bowed and said, "Do you want me to go and pass the news?"
"Thank you! Tell me that Yu will bring the Jingzhou envoy here!" Zhou Yu nodded.
"Captain, wait a moment!" Ling Tong agreed, turned around and walked quickly to the main hall.
"Gong Jin?" Hearing Zhou Yu coming over, Sun Quan frowned slightly, nodded and said: "Please come quickly."
After a while, Zhou Yu and Xu You came in under the leadership of Ling Tong.
"See you, my lord!" Zhou Yu bowed solemnly when he saw Sun Quan.
"Isn't Gong Jin responsible for assisting Liu Bei in fighting the enemy? Why did he come here suddenly?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and asked with a smile.
"My lord, this is exactly why I came here. This is Mr. Xu You, Mr. Xu Ziyuan, a counselor under Duke Xuande." Zhou Yu introduced Xu You to Sun Quan and said in a deep voice.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ziyuan!" Sun Quan looked at Xu You and nodded: "I don't know what Mr. Ziyuan is here for."
"General, I'm here to ask for help." Xu You said in a deep voice after meeting Sun Quan.
"Don't worry, sir." Sun Quan said with a smile: "I have prepared troops, horses, food and grass, and will send troops to the Jianghuai River tomorrow at the latest. By then, Chu Nan will be attacked from both sides and will inevitably retreat!"
"This..." Xu You smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know that what I said today is a bit overstepping my authority, but can you ask the general to postpone the advance to Jianghuai and attack Jiangxia first?"
"Why is this?" Sun Quan asked in confusion.
"For some unknown reason, the Chunan army's combat power increased greatly. General Guan defeated Xinye in a row, and the Han River crossing was unable to be defended. The entire Jiangxia area fell. Now the Chunan army has formed an encirclement of Nanjun. Our army is actually
It is difficult to resist alone, so I hope the general can lend a helping hand. Our Lord is willing to cede Jiangxia to the general!" Xu You bowed and said.
"This..." Sun Quan frowned, looked at Xu You and said, "Then Chu Nan's military is so brave?"
Sun Quan and Liu Bei had never fought against each other, but they had heard of their reputations, and the Jingzhou Army was no stranger to them, and they were by no means weak. They had only fought for a few days, and they had lost all their front lines, including Jiangxia.
"They have been to Tianwai, and they must have obtained the secret of Ying Zheng!" The voice of Xiaoyao Zhenxian suddenly sounded in his mind.
"The secret of Yingzheng?" Sun Quan frowned and asked silently in his heart: "Can the true immortal be known?"
"It's a Qi training method. During the reign of Emperor Zhou, the Heavenly Court passed it down to reward the Emperor Zhou." Xiaoyao Zhenxian snorted coldly. This Qi training technique was a practice method that the Heavenly Court was willing to reward for the ministers of the Heavenly Court in order to reward the Emperor Zhou.
, who knew that his descendants were not only ungrateful, but also dissatisfied with the commander-in-chief of heaven, and had intentions to go against heaven. He was beaten to the point where his soul was left in that battle. This human race cannot be trusted, so after he parasitized Sun Quan, he only had sex with Sun Quan.
He shared his magical power and did not teach him how to practice Qi training.
"Can the True Immortal teach me?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up and he asked.
"It's useless to teach you. They can increase their combat power so quickly because they rely on their luck to practice. With Jiangdong's luck, even if all the officers and soldiers in the army practice Qi training, it will be difficult to achieve anything in a short period of time." Xiaoyao Zhen said.
Xian shook his head. Most of Jiangdong's luck was used to support Heaven. The remaining luck would be difficult to achieve even if he practices Qi training. It's not that he can't practice it, but his speed is far inferior to his opponent's.
Seeing Sun Quan's silence, Xiaoyao Zhenxian, who shared one body with Sun Quan, sensed Sun Quan's dissatisfaction and comforted him: "If you want to learn, I can teach you, but the most important thing right now is to defeat the opponent. The opponent has a way to practice Qi and grow."
The speed is too fast, even if you learn it, the longer it takes, the bigger the gap will be. What you should do now is to stabilize the situation, try to obtain the dragon energy, open the gate of heaven, and ask the soldiers of heaven to help you, otherwise you can only rely on yourself.
Wait, it’s simply not enough to defeat the opponent.”
Sun Quan was silent. One of the hosts of dragon energy that he knows now is Chu Nan. He must have dragon energy in his body. Otherwise, the fortune of the great Han Dynasty would have been ruined that day, and everything under Chu Nan's rule should have fallen apart. But the fact is that the family is stable as usual. It can't be seen.
There's nothing wrong with it at all.
This alone is enough to prove that Chu Nan possesses dragon energy.
But it is almost impossible to get the dragon energy in Chu Nan's body. If there is a way to capture Chu Nan, why bother to open the Tianmen? Just capture it directly.
The other one should be Liu Bei. True Immortal Xiaoyao has confirmed this, but as the lord of Jingzhou, it is not easy for Liu Bei to obtain his dragon spirit, especially now that the two sides are allies, and it is impossible for Sun Quan to lead troops to Jiangling.
Moreover, even if he succeeded, Jiangling was a fortified city, and he might not be able to defeat Jiangling in a short time.
While Sun Quan was pondering, Pang Tong smiled and said, "Mr. Ziyuan's words are not sincere."
"This is..." Xu You frowned and looked at Pang Tong, stunned for a moment, not only because of what he said, but also because of his appearance, which seemed a little out of place in this hall where handsome men gathered.
Pang Tong felt the offending gaze of the other party and snorted coldly: "Jingzhou, Pang Tong!"
"It turns out to be Shi Yuan." Xu You nodded. Although he had never met Pang Tong, he had heard of Pang Tong's children. He also knew that his eyes were rude, so he asked with a smile: "What did Shi Yuan mean?"
"Since Xuande Gong intended to invite our army to help, why did he only use Jiangxia to prevaricate?" Pang Tong asked in return.
"What's wrong?" Xu You asked back.
"According to what Mr. Jiang said, Jiangxia has now been captured by Chunan. If this is the case, if our army can capture Jiangxia, it will be because our Jiangdong soldiers fought to death for it. What does it have to do with Duke Xuande? Xuande sacrificed his life for our soldiers
Isn't it ridiculous to cede the land we have gained to us?" Pang Tong asked.
"However, the current situation is in danger. Jingzhou and Jiangdong are closely interdependent. If Jingzhou falls, how can Jiangdong survive alone?" Xu You frowned.
"What you said is correct. If you don't talk about Jiangxia's affairs and just ask for help, then we will assess the situation and see whether to send troops. However, as soon as your husband came, he said that he was willing to cede Jiangxia. This statement would be suspected of deceiving my lord. Xuan
The reputation of being virtuous, benevolent and righteous is known all over the world, but why are you so mean to your allies now?" Pang Tong was somewhat unwilling to give in, so he just argued with Xu You on this point.
From this point of view, Xu You was indeed in the wrong. He sighed and said, "It's not that my lord is mean. It's just that my lord has newly acquired Jingzhou and suffered successive defeats. At this moment, he doesn't have much to give to the general."
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shiyuan, the current trouble is Chunan, Jingzhou and Jiangdong. The Chu thieves are now powerful. The first priority is to retreat from the Chu thieves."
Pang Tong sneered and was about to say more when he heard Sun Quan, who had been silent, speak: "You don't need to argue any more. What Gong Jin said is right. The main task now is to defeat the Chu thieves. Mr. Ziyuan, go back and inform Duke Xuande that our army in Jiangxia
I know how to capture it, so please don’t worry, Mr. Xuande."
"The general understands the great righteousness, and I would like to express my gratitude to the general for his great kindness on behalf of my lord." Xu You was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed to Sun Quan.
"No need to be polite, the matter is urgent, I will not keep you, sir!" Sun Quan nodded.
Xu You knew that Sun Quan was going to discuss the matter with everyone, so he bowed and said goodbye. Under the leadership of Ling Tong, he left Moling and returned to Jiangling to inform Liu Bei of the matter.
"My lord is generous, but Liu Bei is too cheap!" Pang Tong looked at the direction Xu You was leaving and snorted coldly.
Zhou Yu frowned when he heard this and looked at Pang Tong. He naturally knew Pang Tong's name and should not be such a narrow-minded person.
Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "The overall situation is the most important, Shi Yuan should not mention this matter again."
"Here!" Pang Tong bowed and returned to his seat, as if nothing had happened.
Sun Quan looked at the crowd and said: "Our army has been assembled. We should have captured Hefei, but Jingzhou is in danger now. If Jingzhou is captured by the Chu thieves, our army will not be able to compete with the Chu thieves even if we capture Jianghuai. As Xu Ziyuan said
"I said, now is the time to capture Jiangxia and join forces with Liu Bei to defeat the Chu bandits!"
"Your lord is wise!" Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Sun Quan.
"This time I want to personally lead the army to attack Jiangxia and Gongjin!" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and said.
"The end is here!" Zhou Yu cupped his fists and bowed.
"Gong Jin will be responsible for the dispatch of grain and grass." Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and smiled and said, "Support the front line at any time."
Zhou Yu was stunned, looked at Sun Quan and said: "My lord, the war is fierce and dangerous, how can I let my lord come to the front line in person? The last general is willing to command the three armies on my lord's behalf, and Jiangxia will be defeated."
Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu and shook his head: "I have made up my mind, Gong Jin doesn't need to say any more!"
He went to Jiangxia not to suppress Zhou Yu, or because Zhou Yu has never been infected by him. After so many years, even if Zhou Yu has not been infected by the supernatural power of Xiaoyao True Immortal, Sun Quan still believes in him as a human being.
However, the purpose of Sun Quan's trip is not to benefit Jiangxia, or Jiangxia is just a nuisance. His goal is Liu Bei or the dragon energy in Liu Bei. He only needs to capture Jiangxia, then meet with Liu Bei, and seize his dragon energy to open the gate of heaven.
.
Originally, if Zhou Yu was infected, it would be best for him to do this. However, Zhou Yu cannot be considered one of his own now, and he might reject his own approach, so Sun Quan planned to do it himself.
After being beaten by Lu Lingqi, Sun Quan abandoned his armor and fled in panic. This time, he would learn from Chu Nan and establish himself in an invincible position. His goal was Liu Bei, not Zhang Liao. He didn't believe it and poured out his heart.
With all the troops in Jiangdong, Zhang Liao is still no match for him.
The battle of Xiaoyaojin in the past cannot be repeated this time.
This time, he not only wanted to capture the Dragon Qi and open the Heavenly Gate, but also wanted to let the world know that the battle in Xiaoyaojin was just due to his carelessness, not his incompetence.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhou Yu could only sigh, clasped his fists and said, "The last general will take your orders!"
After all, Sun Quan is not Sun Ce. If Sun Ce was like this, Zhou Yu would directly scold him, but Sun Quan and him are in a relationship between monarch and minister, and there is a gap in this relationship. Sun Quan tried to control himself several times with magical powers, but Zhou Yu was caught by the gap.
It cannot be stated clearly, but it is also the fundamental reason why Sun Quan does not trust himself.
It cannot be resolved unless Zhou Yu is willing to be controlled by Sun Quan, but... Zhou Yu obviously does not want to, and it will be difficult for anyone to accept...
