It is not surprising that Bu Zhao would have such speculation. From ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon for brothers to fight against each other for power. Not to mention, in recent years, we have heard from Cao Wei that Cao Cao's sons fought for power.
The position of the heir can be said to be an open and covert fight, with a lot of quarrels. In contrast, the Sun brothers have always worked together over the years. Coupled with Sun Ce's strength, it seems that Sun Wu Junchen has not even considered this issue. But now
At this critical moment, Sun Quan suddenly appeared at Zhu Huan, who had always been friends with him, and after encountering the enemy, he lost the extremely important An Fengjin. This had to make Bu Zhi suspicious.
Got it!
Although Bu Zhi tried his best not to think about this possibility, the idea seemed to have taken root in his mind and he couldn't get rid of it! After a moment of silence, Bu Zhi waved the messenger to leave, but then
He summoned his own soldiers and told the soldiers: "Send the order, the entire army must rise and return to Shouchun!"
Bu Zhihui had no choice but to make this decision. Originally, according to Zhou Yu's arrangement, Yingshang where Bu Zhi was stationed and Hefei where Chen Wu was guarding were the horns of each other, guarding the gateway to Yangzhou. But in the defense line arranged by Zhou Yu,
, the most important thing is Anfengjin guarded by Zhu Huan! Anfengjin is like a button, connecting the two cities of Yingshang and Hefei. Now that Anfengjin has been captured, no matter where Yingshang or Hefei is captured,
Attack, and no other place can provide timely assistance. The defense line set up by Zhou Yu has been broken! Instead of staying here and being attacked by the enemy, it is better to abandon this city proactively, at least to keep what you have on hand.
These six thousand soldiers and horses!
Not only did Bu Zhi think this way, but Chen Wu who was far away in Hefei also made the same decision after receiving the news of An Fengjin's fall. This is probably due to Zhou Cang who had just captured An Fengjin and all of this.
What Guo Jiasuo, the instigator of the incident, never expected. According to Guo Jia's real plan, sending Zhou Cang out to attack An Fengjin would indeed catch the enemy off guard. However, what Guo Jia did not tell Zhou Cang was,
After Zhou Cang captures An Fengjin, what he will face is likely to be a double encirclement and suppression from Yingshang and Hefei!
Of course, Guo Jia didn't really want to kill Zhou Cang by doing this. According to Guo Jia's estimation of the strength of both sides, although Zhou Cang's battle would be very difficult, with Zhou Cang's force and the combat effectiveness of the Western Qin Army, it would not be enough.
Defeated. As long as they stay in Anfengjin for a few days, Luo Yang's army will arrive. By then, both Zhou Cang who is trapped in Anfengjin and himself who is trapped in Lujiang will be rescued, and Luo Yang's army
You can also successfully enter the Yangzhou portal and break through the defense line arranged by Sun Wu!
When Guo Jia received the information about Yingshang, Hefei and Anfengjin, he was speechless by this dramatic change. It seems that as Luo Yang said before, this guy Zhou Cang is really
What a blessed general! What Guo Jia has to face next is the crazy attack from the enemies outside Lujiang City!
The information Guo Jia obtained was naturally known to Pan Zhang and Ling Tong outside the city. Unlike Bu Zhi and Chen Wu, Bu Zhi and Chen Wu withdrew their troops without encountering the enemy, while Pan Zhang and Ling Tong
Tong now has to face the enemies in Lujiang City! If Pan Zhang and Ling Tong rashly withdraw their troops at this time, the Western Qin Army in the city will never let them go. They will most likely be pursued by then and will certainly not be able to escape smoothly.
Shouchun! Therefore, if Pan Zhang and Ling Tong want to survive, the only way is to use all their strength to attack Lujiang City!
Therefore, in the next two days, the Western Qin Army on the top of Lujiang City experienced the power of a trapped beast still fighting. Although they were burned by fire, these Wu Army soldiers still sprinted towards the top of the city crazily.
The defenders were gradually unable to withstand the Wu army's attacks. They continued day and night for two full days. Of the two thousand Western Qin soldiers left in the city, less than 500 were left, and the Wu army had sacrificed nearly 8,000 soldiers.
The tragic human price!
However, this effort was not without reward. The soldiers of the Wu army had already rushed to the top of the city and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the only remaining West Qin army on the top of the city! In this way, the advantage that the West Qin army relied on before was gone.
Wu Cun, on the contrary, the strength advantage of the Wu army can now be fully demonstrated! The Western Qin army, which had few people in the first place, is now completely trapped in a corner of the city, and some of the Wu army have begun to rush down the city.
Head, go and open the city gate.
"Sir, be careful!" Zhu Yue grabbed Guo Jia and protected him behind him, while he swung his single sword and chopped down the Wu soldier who intended to attack Guo Jia to the ground. But there was more
Many soldiers of the Wu army rushed towards this side. Zhu Yue could only be tired of dealing with it and had to focus on taking care of Guo Jia. He immediately had several wounds on his body!
Guo Jia had lost his usual calmness at this moment. His face was covered with blood stains and stains, and he looked very embarrassed. When he saw Zhu Yue who was standing in front of him was stabbed again, Guo Jia couldn't help shouting:
"Zhu Yue! Leave me alone! Go quickly! Go quickly!"
"No!" Zhu Yue shouted while fighting: "Before General Zhou left, he specifically asked the general to protect you! How can the general leave you and escape alone? Don't worry, sir! As long as the general is here! I absolutely must.
Protect me, sir! Be careful, sir!" Just as Zhu Yue was shouting, a Wu Army soldier sneaked up behind Guo Jia, with a ferocious look on his face and was about to slash Guo Jia's back with a knife!
At this moment, it was too late for Zhu Yue to kill the Wu Army soldier. He could only grab Guo Jia's back collar with his backhand and turn his position with Guo Jia's position. The Wu Army soldier's single sword also fell at this time.
, hit Zhu Yue right in the back!
"Ugh!" Zhu Yue let out a muffled grunt, spat out blood, and stabbed him with his backhand again, cutting the Wu army soldier who was a little carried away because of his success into two pieces. But after suffering such a sword blow, it was worse than before.
Zhu Yue's previous injuries were much more serious. Zhu Yue staggered, but could no longer stand. The knife stuck in his back was still there, and blood kept flowing out. Finally, Zhu Yue's legs softened and he fell asleep directly.
He fell to the ground. As for Guo Jia, he was sprayed with blood by Zhu Yue earlier. Then his eyes went black, and he was hugged by Zhu Yue and fell to the ground.
"Kill!" Zhu Yue fell down and never got up again. Without Zhu Yue's command, the Western Qin army on the city was even more helpless. In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded and killed by Wu army soldiers.
Clean! But even at the last moment, not a single soldier of the Western Qin army surrendered. This battle could not be described as heroic. All two thousand soldiers of the Western Qin army were killed in this battle!
Climbing to the top of the city and looking at the corpses on the ground, Pan Zhang and Ling Tong also had solemn faces. Although they were enemies, they had to admire the fighting spirit of the Western Qin Army! After sighing, Pan Zhang turned his head.
He said to Ling Tong: "Okay! In short, this obstacle has been cleared! Let's quickly raise our troops and return to Shouchun!"
Ling Tong also nodded and glanced at the corpses of the Western Qin Army soldiers with angry eyes even if they were dead. He was surprisingly silent. His father Ling Cao died at the hands of the Western Qin Army. Logically speaking, he
He should be very resentful towards the people of the Western Qin Army. But the battle process of the Western Qin Army he had witnessed before made him, as a general, admire him from the bottom of his heart. It is no wonder that such an army can sweep the world without any opponent!
But now is not the time for him to feel so emotional. They have already wasted too much time in Lujiang City. If they continue to be delayed like this, reinforcements from the Western Qin Dynasty may appear at any time. In that case, in the past two days,
Two nights of bloody fighting were in vain! Immediately, the Wu army did not even have time to take inventory of the battlefield, and there were less than 10,000 people left, so they hurriedly left Lujiang City and headed towards Shouchun.
The day after Wu Jun left Lujiang, the reinforcements led by Zhou Cang arrived. This was already the result of Zhou Cang trying his best. After all, after learning about Wu Jun's crazy behavior, Zhou Cang also hurriedly
All the soldiers and horses came from Anfengjin at high speed. But seeing Lujiang City full of corpses, Zhou Cang knew that he was finally late!
"Wu Thief! You and I swear no conflict!" Zhou Cang roared toward the sky, not only because of the two thousand soldiers who died in Lujiang, but also because of Guo Jia! How could Zhou Cang not understand the importance of Guo Jia?
, he was not only the first counselor to follow the lord, but also one of the most important counselors in the Western Qin Dynasty! This time the lord handed Guo Jia to him, but he failed to protect Guo Jia's life. Zhou Cang simply didn't know what to do.
After speaking with the master! After roaring into the sky several times, Zhou Cang shouted angrily at the soldiers on his left and right: "What are you all doing in a daze? Find it for me! You must find Master Guo's body for me!"
As the saying goes, even if Guo Jia's life cannot be saved, at least Guo Jia's body must be recovered. After Guo Jia is laid to rest, Zhou Cang will go to plead guilty to his lord. This is what Zhou Cang thinks in his heart.
.
The soldiers naturally knew Zhou Cang's current mood, and of course they did not dare to get into trouble at this time, so they searched for it on the city top. However, the battle on the city top was very tragic, and there were already piles of corpses, including
There are still many stumps, and the blood has become sticky due to time, making the soldiers' search work more and more difficult. After searching for a long time, Guo Jia's body was not found, but many others were found.
The arms and thighs that came out, the corpses of the Western Qin Army soldiers and the Wu Army soldiers, and the stumps were mixed together. It was very difficult to distinguish them clearly. It seemed that they would have to be buried together in the future.
"Ah! Found it! Found it!" After seeing it for so long without finding it, Zhou Cang became more and more irritable. Seeing that Zhou Cang was about to get angry, an exclamation came from not far away.
, also made Zhou Cang stunned, and then immediately rushed in that direction.
