His army is elite, with a strength of 20,000 to 30,000. If Tokugawa Ieyasu is willing to further recruit troops from the rear, he can have even more troops. The problem is that the enemy is coming fiercely, and Okasaka Hikawa and Umegawa Uchiku are attacking one after another.
Death, morale damaged.
The most important point is that he has no idea what kind of situation the enemy is in.
Tokugawa Ieyasu studied the art of war and said that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be victorious in every battle. Now the enemy has appeared out of nowhere, and a sudden force has entered the battlefield with such ferocity that no one knows how many there are.
It is not suitable for fighting at this stage.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was very cautious in doing things. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Send the order and the whole army will retreat."
He turned his horse's head and retreated quickly.
With the retreat of Tokugawa Ieyasu, a large number of Japanese retreated like a tide. When Lu Xuan saw the retreating Japanese, he did not order the army to cover up and kill them. Because he was not familiar with the road conditions of the Japanese country, he ordered the army to withdraw and at the same time ordered: "Zhao Yun!"
"exist!"
Zhao Yun replied loudly,
Lu Xuan ordered: "Take a hundred cavalry and go directly to cover up Tokugawa Ieyasu's army. Kill as many as you can, and try to injure the opponent as hard as possible."
"Here!"
Zhao Yun answered with clasped fists.
He was good at leading cavalry to attack. This time Zhao Yun led the attack and quickly killed them. Although the horses crossed the sea, fortunately there were special fodder on the warships and the best grooms to serve them, so the horses were not harmed.
Influence.
One hundred cavalry roared on their way, dispersed and quickly entered the area where the Japanese were fleeing.
When Zhao Yun went to cover up and kill the Japanese, Lu Xuan and his men approached Guangfu City and soon arrived outside the city tower.
Sun Quan also came out with Zhu Zhi.
When he was in Yangzhou, Zhu Zhi had been living in Wu County. It was Zhu Zhi who took care of the Sun family. Sun Ce died in the battle. In fact, Sun Quan had never met Lu Xuan and had no idea what Lu Xuan looked like.
At this moment, Sun Quan saw Lu Xuan.
The Lu Xuan in front of him was not wearing a crown, but a black robe, looking majestic and solemn. In addition, Lu Xuan was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was the person who controlled the life and death of the subjects of a country.
From the bottom of his heart, Sun Quan was a little frightened.
Sun Quan looked at Lu Xuan, bowed and said: "Sun Quan, pay homage to Emperor Shenwu."
Lu Xuan looked around and saw that there were less than a hundred people left around Sun Quan. These one hundred people were covered in blood, and they were panting continuously, and they were full of joy and excitement for the rest of their lives after the disaster.
Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Sun Quan, you led the people to build a city in the Japanese country. To this day, you have been beaten by Tokugawa Ieyasu to the point where you are unable to fight back. The result of this fight is a bit embarrassing."
Sun Quan looked a little embarrassed.
Compared to Sun Jian and Sun Ce, his record is indeed embarrassing because this is not what he is best at.
When he was young, he didn't like practicing martial arts very much. What he liked was studying strategies, people's hearts, and even the study of power. Because he knew the news about his father since he was a child. In those days, his father was brave and invincible, and he conquered Jingzhou.
My father became the governor of Changsha, based in the south, and was so powerful that even Liu Biao had to look down upon him. My father left Changsha with his troops and went north to Nanyang County to look for opportunities. He was still invincible.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Biao captured the empty Changsha County, cutting off his father's retreat, and his father had to rely on Yuan Shu.
This is a lack of power!
This is even more of a lack of strategy!
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "You arranged for Zhu Zhi to come to ask for help. Now that I have come with my army, are you willing to surrender?"
"I, I, I..."
Sun Quan was speechless for a moment.
He was unwilling from the bottom of his heart, because the person in front of him was the person who killed his brother and destroyed the power of the Sun family.
Lu Xuan sneered and said: "Why, are the people of the Sun family also so coquettish? Although I have enmity with your Sun family, I led the people to defeat Sun Ce's army and let Sun Ce die on the battlefield."
"But in fighting on the battlefield, there is no distinction between good and bad. No one's position is right."
"Besides, doesn't Sun Ce have a reason?"
"In the beginning, Sun Ce was just a young boy with no reputation. A man under twenty years old went directly to the prefect's mansion in Lujiang County to meet my father. What kind of person is he? He wanted to be promoted by his father.
, Sun Ce is not worthy."
"My father arranged for the chief secretary to meet him, but Sun Ce was unhappy. Instead, he threatened to take revenge on my father."
"Whose fault is this?"
Lu Xuan asked directly.
Sun Ce was courageous and capable, and he dared to fight and kill when leading troops. Even though Lu Xuan and Sun Ce kept suppressing Sun Ce and suppressing Sun Ce when they first met, it could not change the fact that Sun Ce was capable.
However, Sun Ce and Sun Jian were equally arrogant, and both father and son were equally domineering and arrogant.
In order to marry Mrs. Wu, Sun Jian went to propose marriage but the Wu family was unwilling. Sun Jian threatened to kill all the Wu family and make the Wu family pay the price. In the end, Mrs. Wu said in front of her family that she would sacrifice herself to save the family before marrying Sun Jian.
This is not some fairy couple, it was Sun Jian who threatened the Wu family and then married Mrs. Wu.
Sun Ce is also domineering.
Deep down, he is extremely arrogant.
When Sun Quan heard Lu Xuan's words, he sighed in his heart. If his father's character was more restrained and his eldest brother was not so domineering, perhaps the outcome of the Sun family would be different. He looked at Lu Xuan with extremely complicated emotions.
Lu Xuan continued: "Having talked about Sun Ce's threat, let's talk about what happened back then. At the Grand View Tower, Sun Ce provoked every step of the way, and I suppressed him to shame. Then, on my way to Qiao's house, Sun Ce ambushed me halfway.
opinionated."
"In the end, Sun Ce defected to Yuan Shu to plot to seize Lujiang, and he was willing to be Yuan Shu's sword."
"Sun Ce failed in his attempt to seize Lujiang. Who was to blame for the loss of troops and generals? His eventual death was also the result of his choice of position. Could it be that I was wrong to kill him openly on the battlefield and should I let him be killed?"
Sun Quan was speechless after hearing Lu Xuan's words.
In troubled times, either you kill me or I kill you. His father killed many people.
If this is reasonable, it doesn't make sense. Many things can be understood when it comes to others. However, once it falls on oneself, it is difficult to calm down and cannot overcome this obstacle.
Lu Xuan looked at the hesitant Sun Quan and said in a deep voice: "Sun Quan, if you can't let go, you might as well commit suicide. If you die, you can go see your dead family members, and you won't have all the worries."
Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhi reminded: "My lord, the general trend of the world has been determined. Emperor Shenwu has unified the world, and the Japanese country cannot stop it. Now, there is no need to fight anymore. Please surrender, my lord. You are the head of the Sun family."
, you have to consider your family.”
When Sun Quan heard this, his body trembled.
Sun family!
He is still the head of the Sun family, which is a responsibility that he cannot relinquish.
"Sun Quan, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Sun Quan no longer hesitated, lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground to salute.
Lu Xuan looked at Sun Quan who had surrendered, with a smile in his eyes. Although Sun Quan was young, he had a city and potential, and he would be a useful person in the future. In a barbaric land like Japan, Sun Quan could be used.
It was precisely because Sun Quan was valuable that Lu Xuan patiently tried to persuade him, otherwise he would have been killed with one blow.
Lu Xuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "You, Sun Quan, are a man of great ambition. Do your work well. I am optimistic about you. Get up."
"I obey your Majesty's instructions."
Sun Quan saluted again and stood up.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Let's go, clean up the battlefield and enter the city first. When Zhao Yun comes back, we will consider the next arrangement for Tokugawa Ieyasu."
"Your Majesty, please!"
Sun Quan bowed his body and waved his hands.
Lu Xuan led people into the city, and the soldiers quickly cleared the battlefield and disposed of the bodies of the dead soldiers and the Japanese.
