Huang Zhong asked again, "My lord, shall we surround the city on all sides to prevent Sun Quan from escaping?"
Liu Cong laughed and said, "Old General, you are overly worried. Beyond Kuaiji and Wu County in Jiangdong, where else is Sun Quan's territory? Besides, the city is surrounded on all sides, haha, I don't want to be beaten to the Chinese army camp by Zhou Yu for the third time."
Having said this, the generals did not dare to say more. Liu Cong continued, "But the old general is right. If Sun Quan doesn't run away, it doesn't mean that no one in the city wants to run away. Chen Dao obeys the order!"
"The end will be here."
"Let your cavalry be divided into four parts. One part will accompany Gu in the central army, and the other three will be stationed on three sides of Wuxian County. Anyone who wants to escape will be captured by Gu. If Zhou Yu goes out of the city, fight or not, you will watch.
Let's do it." The cavalry are not afraid that Zhou Yu will come out to attack. If they can't defeat them, they can't run away.
Chen Dao smiled and said, "If Zhou Yu dares to leave the city, he will never come back!"
"good!"
On the 28th, Pang Tong led his army to Kuaiji. Sun Jing, who had received Sun Quan's letter, had already summoned his hometown men and women, and relying on his prestige, he summoned 8,000 soldiers in Kuaiji, together with 3,000 Kuaiji defenders, a total of more than 10,000
people.
"Liu Jun is indeed a powerful army that resists Cao Cao from the north. This military appearance really puts our Jiangdong soldiers to shame." The speaker was a young general in his twenties.
In front of the young general, a veteran general laughed and said, "Haha, Boyan hit the mark. If I hadn't been a descendant of the Sun family, I really wouldn't want to fight Liu Jun. However, I can only do my best in this battle."
But for."
Boyan, Lu Xun's name! Lu Xun was the captain stationed in Kuaiji. At this time, Lu Xun was only twenty-six years old and had not yet made a fortune. The veteran in front of him was Sun Quan's uncle Sun Jing. Sun Jing was over fifty and two years old.
He has white hair on his temples, but he is full of energy and extraordinary bearing.
Lu Xun stared outside the city and continued, "Looking at their flags, the leader should be Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. He is a ruthless character who defeated Cao Cao and captured Wancheng."
Sun Jing nodded and suddenly became a little regretful, "I'm afraid the Sun family's three-generation legacy is coming to an end."
"Old General, don't speak nonsense." Lu Xun looked around, and then whispered to Sun Jing, "Old General, although you are my lord's uncle, you don't need to be taught by younger generations that misfortunes come from your mouth, right? Let's go on.
, If the soldiers hear such remarks, I am afraid the morale of the army will be unstable."
Sun Jing glanced at him and said with a hearty smile, "Bo Yan, I will never lie in my life. Today, the situation in Jiangdong has reached this point. Even the remote Kuaiji has been attacked by Liu Jun. Does the Sun family still have a future? I am the Sun family.
It is true that I am a descendant of the Sun family, but it is precisely because I am a member of the Sun family that I have to consider the Sun family's future."
"Since Zhongmou (named Sun Quan) asked me for help, I will naturally do my best. After doing my best, I will also consider the future of the Sun family. You are also a young and talented man from Jiangdong. Can't you see the situation clearly?"
Lu Xun admired Sun Jing's magnanimity when he heard this, and then thought of himself. Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, was his great-grandfather. Sun Ce captured Lujiang and Lu Kang died of illness.
It stands to reason that the Lu family and the Sun family are enemies, but there are so many people in the world who can't let it go. If the Lu family wants to get ahead, they can only be loyal to the Sun family. You know, the Lu family's family business, the ancestral temple,
The tombs are all in Wu County. There is no other way but to compromise.
In the past few years, Lu Xun entered Sun Quan's shogunate in the eighth year of Jian'an (203) and served successively as the captain of Haichang Tuntian and the governor of the right department. Until today, the Sun family and Jingchu were at war, and Lu Xun was named Dingwei Xiaowei by Sun Quan and was ordered to
Stationed in Kuaiji.
Sun Quan also put him in high regard, but unfortunately, Jiangdong has too many heroes. When will he be able to stand out? This does not mean that Lu Xun wants to rebel. A man is born in this world. Who doesn't want to make contributions and leave a name in history?
Who would have thought that as soon as he started to improve under Sun Quan, Liu Cong would lead his troops to destroy Jiangdong!
"Old General, if that day comes, do you think the Marquis of Chu can tolerate people?"
Sun Jing smiled and said, "I am Zhong Mou's uncle. According to his seniority, Liu Cong has to call me uncle. Can he still kill me?"
Just as Lu Xun was about to say something, Sun Jing said, "Don't think too much. No matter what, how can you surrender without fighting? That way, let alone the civil and military forces of Jingchu, I would even look down upon myself.
If I ever meet Liu Cong, I will recommend you to him."
"Bo Yan admires the old general's open-mindedness," Lu Xun cupped his hands and said.
"Hahaha, you're just an old man. Boyan, prepare to defend the city. Let Jingchu and Pang Tong see that we also have warriors in Jiangdong!"
"promise!"
In Pang Tong's camp, Gan Ning and Huang Zu were already eager to challenge.
"Haha, of course I know the intention of the two generals to make great achievements, but our army has come a long way, so we have to rest and recuperate. It is impossible to attack the city today." Pang Tong rejected the two men with a smile.
Seeing that the two of them were disappointed, Pang Tong comforted him again, "But don't be disappointed. The two of you must be the ones who have made the greatest contribution this time."
Liu Cong received another important news.
Zhuge Liang actually sent someone to contact Fa Zheng! Not only Fa Zheng, but also various officials in Chengdu, the head of the family, Zhuge Liang also sent people to contact him.
"So, Xiaozhi wants to ask Gu Gu whether he should help Liu Bei?" Liu Cong said to Duan Kun after reading the secret report in his hand.
Duan Kun nodded, "My lord, Mr. Fazheng said that he is a low-key person in Chengdu, and it cannot hinder Liu Bei."
Liu Cong stood up and walked around. He was attacking Jiangdong now, and was beyond reach of Xichuan. Even if Jiangdong could be captured, it would take time to send troops to Xichuan, and it would still take time to reach Xichuan. By that time, Liu Bei might have been sitting in Chengdu. But he,
If you rush into the army in a hurry, you may not be able to take advantage.
After walking to the map and looking at it for a long time, Liu Cong said, "Immediately send someone to inform Fazheng and ask him to do his best to help Liu Bei enter Chengdu!"
"Lord?" Duan Kun looked at Liu Cong in disbelief.
Liu Cong sighed and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. Liu Bei's taking over Xichuan has become a foregone conclusion. I can only do this. There are great talents in the law. That idiot Liu Zhang can't see his talent, but Liu Bei will definitely reuse him."
he!"
Duan Kun thought of something, "What do you mean, lord?"
Liu Cong nodded, "As long as Liu Bei reuses Fazheng, when we fight Liu Bei in the future, Fazheng will be able to give Liu Bei the most fatal blow!"
Duan Kun understood that after training Fazheng, he would be the next Zhang Song in Yizhou! Moreover, according to Jin Yiwei's observation, Fazheng's talents were obviously superior to Zhang Song!
"My lord is wise!" Duan Kun paid homage to Liu Cong.
"Go and do it."
"promise."
After Duan Kun left, Liu Cong stood in front of the map again, "Liu Bei got Yizhou and Hanzhong. He alone occupied Jiangdong, Jingchu, and Jiaozhou. Cao Cao was in the north. Alas, the world is divided into three parts again."
Immediately, Liu Cong's eyes narrowed, "Jingchu has not been in war, and Jiangdong still needs to be developed. Jiaozhou has unlimited potential and can expand overseas. The land occupied by Gu is vast and rich in resources, but the population is not enough. Even if Gu cannot dominate the world, after a few generations,
, Jingchu must be far stronger than Liu Bei and Cao Cao!"
Under the map, there are overseas countries unknown to people today. Liu Cong squatted down and said, "Taiwan, Luzon (Philippines), Indochina..."
