In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, on March 6, Chu Hou Liu Cong went to the emperor to count Sun Quan's crimes for twenty days. He told the world to prepare to attack Jiangdong!
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuchang, Cao Cao took Liu Cong's watch and chuckled, "Liu Xiye finally couldn't hold it anymore and wants to embezzle Jiangdong."
Cheng Yu immediately said, "Prime Minister, should we take the opportunity to go south?"
Cao Cao put down his message, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, no matter what, we have to wait until they both lose, right?"
In the Prefecture of Hanzhong.
Liu Bei was surprised and said to Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming, Liu Xiye has finally mobilized his troops, and we can implement the plan!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "My lord, wait a little longer. It won't be too late for Liu Cong to engage in battle with Jiangdong. Otherwise, if he turns his spear and comes to Yizhou, we won't be able to fight against him."
Liu Bei was discouraged for a moment, then cheered up and said, "Then wait a little longer!"
"Bang!"
In the Wuhou Mansion in Wu County, Jiangdong Province, Sun Quan was furious and smashed his study room crazily!
"You bastard, how dare you enumerate twenty crimes against me, how I treat my elder brother's wife and children so little, what the hell does he have to do with me?"
"Compromising with the family, can this be considered a fault? He... he..., bastard!"
"Bang!"
"I'm so angry!"
Sun Quan, the mighty Marquis of Wu, was so angry that he uttered obscenities because of Liu Cong's statement, and was unable to express his anger in words.
"My lord, Governor Zhou and Mr. Lu Su have arrived."
Recently, Sun Quan promoted Zhou Yu from the position of Zhonghujun to Grand Governor.
"Huh." Sun Quan breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened his appearance and said, "Let them come in."
"Your Majesty Zhou Yu/Lu Su pays homage to the lord."
The two entered the study and saw the messy room. They were stunned for a moment before bowing to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan sat on the ground, smiled bitterly and said, "Gong Jin, Zijing, Gu are really angry after reading the memorandum, which made you laugh. Find a place to sit by yourselves."
"promise."
In Sun Quan's eyes, the only ones who can really defend against foreign enemies are Zhou Yu and Lu Su. Not only are these two people loyal to him, they are also the top commanders and wise men in Jiangdong.
After Zhou Yu and Lu Su found a place to kneel down, Sun Quan said, "Have you read Liu Cong's message? What are the trends in Jingzhou? Can Cao Cao support us?"
Zhou Yu frowned and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, according to the scouts' investigation, there are already no less than 100,000 troops stationed in Xunyang. If Liu Cong comes in person, I'm afraid there really is no less than 150,000 troops."
Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "The envoy sent to Cao Cao just now has also returned. Cao Cao has made it clear that he will not send troops. He is probably just waiting for us to fight Jingchu and lose both sides."
Sun Quan became even more unhappy now, "Did he withdraw his troops from Hefei and Shouchun?"
"No, Zang Ba and Le Jin who were stationed in Shouchun increased their troops to 100,000! They also sent Xiahou Dun and Xun You to station in Shouchun. However, Xuchang also gathered heavy troops. I estimate that Cao Cao wants to take advantage of our fight with Jingchu
When both sides suffer, reap the benefits."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he continued, "In my opinion, Cao Cao would not have sent troops south if we had not fought with Jingchu. Furthermore, Cao Cao now does not have the ability to send troops on a large scale. In the battle of Fancheng, his losses were too great
Already."
"We only need to let the navy control the Yangtze River, and Cao Jun will be unable to do anything to us."
Hearing Zhou Yu talk about the Battle of Fancheng, Sun Quan tightened his grip. After all, he was a little afraid of Liu Cong in his heart. Unlike Liu Cong's great martial arts, he didn't have much ability to lead troops in battle.
"Zijing, do you think it is possible for Gu Ruo to seek peace with Liu Cong?"
Lu Su shook his head and sighed, "My lord, Liu Cong is going to war this time because he wants to destroy me Jiangdong. I'm afraid he won't agree."
Sun Quan nodded and murmured, "Yes, if I were him, I would definitely destroy Jiangdong first."
Jingchu is located in a place where there are four wars. If Jiangdong cannot be destroyed, let alone open up, guarding against attacks from all sides will be enough to make Jingchu exhausted.
Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu again, "Gong Jin, how many troops can Jiangdong muster to deal with it?"
It's wonderful to say that Zhou Yu in history has died this year. It may be because he was hit by an arrow while attacking Cao Ren. He died of illness when he marched to Yizhou and marched to Baqiu. But now, Zhou Yu is in good health and has no problems at all.
.
"My lord, the 50,000 men guarding Cao Cao must not be moved lightly. Recently, Shanyue has rebelled again. I have sent Lu Meng and Zhuge Jin to lead 40,000 troops to suppress it. After removing the troops stationed in various places, there are only 50,000 troops that can deal with Liu Cong's troops.
Sixty thousand."
Sun Quan stood up immediately after hearing this, "Sixty thousand? Can you beat 60,000? Liu Cong has 150,000 soldiers and horses?"
Looking at Sun Quan who was staring at him, Zhou Yu was also helpless, "My lord, this is all the result of Zijing's last effort. The garrisons in various places have almost been exhausted, and there is really no way to squeeze out more troops."
Last time, Liu Cong's white paper had some effect. Sun Quan and the major families obtained 50,000 young men. Jiangdong's troops were expanded to 170,000.
Sun Quan looked at Lu Su again, "Zijing, can you talk to the noble family again and give me some support? When Liu Cong is defeated, I will give him back double the amount."
Lu Su smiled bitterly, "My lord, I'm afraid it's not going to work anymore. It's not like you don't know the virtues of those people. It's probably harder than climbing to the sky to let them spit out more. Unless...unless the front line is defeated. He might be able to do something.
Moved."
"The front line is defeated, haha, then they should think about changing their masters!" Sun Quan sneered.
"No matter what, we can't let Liu Cong succeed. Take out another 20,000 of the 50,000 people who are on guard against Cao Cao. Gong Jin, Jiang Dong, I'm begging you."
Zhou Yu did not dare to guarantee that he could defeat Liu Cong, so he could only say seriously, "My lord, I will do my best."
Sun Quan nodded and said ferociously, "Damn Shanyue people. When Liu Cong retreats this time, I will completely destroy you!"
The mountains were in chaos earlier than Liu Cong's message, and the barbarians spread over fifty thousand mountains!
Sun Quan didn't know how many people there were in Shanyue. Anyway, they would come here every one or two years. The government could always capture and kill tens of thousands of them at a time, but just like the invincible Xiaoqiang, there would always be tens of thousands of them every time.
Looting everywhere.
"Hey, Zijing, please go to Xiangyang as an envoy for me, and also go and intercede with my little sister to see if you can persuade Liu Cong to withdraw his troops."
"I obey, but my lord, it's best not to have too much hope."
"I know."
Liu Cong's memorandum caused a hurricane in the world, and the princes once again made different preparations because of this memorandum.
No matter what the other princes and Sun Quan thought, Liu Cong was determined to destroy Soochow. He didn't think so for a day or two.
I was worried about Sun Shangxiang's mood before, but after Sun Quan did that immoral thing, he was simply helping him establish his justice in sending troops.
"My lord, a scholar from the Shi family has come on an envoy again. I heard from Deng Zhi from Jiangling that they took a boat in Jiangling and will arrive in Xiangyang tomorrow. This is his letter."
Liu Cong took the letter and read it, "Shijia, you are really sincere."
Historically, the scholar family also paid tribute to Sun Quan every year. In 210, Sun Quan sent Bu Zhi as the governor of Jiaozhou.
It's a pity that he doesn't have any spare talents now. The newspaper office, the Military Justice Department, the Military Police Department, and the Integrity Agency all lack top leaders. Where will the people come from to be sent to Jiaozhou?
