Chapter 389 Defending the enemy outside the country
Chaisang City.
Six huge torches shone the entire military palace lobby as bright as day.
All the generals from Lu Su stood beside each other, with a little uneasiness flashing between their eyebrows.
There was a dead silence in the lobby, and a solemn and cold atmosphere was permeating.
The heavy footsteps sounded, and Lu Su and others were about to look for the sound, but they saw that Sun Quan, wearing heavy armor, red cloaks on his shoulders, and a sword hanging on his waist, was walking into the hall with a cold face.
Lu Su and others bowed to salute one after another. When they bowed their heads, they didn't even dare to speak out, and there was a little fear in their hearts.
In a rage, Sun Quan ordered the destruction of Ling Cao. Lu Su and other leaders in Chaisang had learned that when they came from Moling, Sun Quan deliberately brought Ling Cao's head together, and now it was hanging from the Chaisang City Gate to serve as the bloody policeman's sight.
Lu Su knew that Sun Quan was really angry this time.
This young lord of Jiangdong is no longer the young man who had just continued the inheritance of his deceased brother Sun Ce. Sun Quan, who was firmly in the throne of Jiangdong, has completed absolute control over Jiangdong's military and political power. At this time, he is showing a heroic posture everywhere.
The navy was defeated by Yan Liang, and the farmland near Chaisang was destroyed. As the governor of the Western Front, Lu Su knew very well that he could not refuse the blame.
Now seeing Sun Quan coming with a cold look on his face, how could Lu Su not feel nervous in his heart? He was afraid that Sun Quan would not be angry enough to punish himself, the defeated governor.
Sun Quan sat in high seat and looked around everyone, looking at him with no anger and mighty look on his face, as if he was guilty.
"Master Su is incompetent. All the deadly grain fields in Chaisang were burned by Yan Liang. Please punish the lord."
Lu Su didn't wait for Sun Quan to take the initiative to step forward and apologize.
The angrily look on Sun Quan's face was reduced by Lu Su's voluntary apology. He waved his hand and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, you get up."
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and dared to stand up straight.
"Yan Liang has been an enemy of Jiangdong for many years, and now he has been arrogant and dared to provoke openly. I am leading a large army to attack Jingzhou in one fell swoop and completely eliminate the disaster of Yan's surname. From now on, I hope that you and others can fight to the death. They will not stop the army unless they are separated from the Yan Liang dog thief!"
Sun Quan's words were filled with anger and generosity, and the generals at the level were soon mobilized.
The pride of hopping is rekindled, and the anger of revenge is rapidly growing in the lobby.
Amid the crazy murderous intent, Chen Wu was the first to jump out and shouted: "I will never give up if I don't destroy Yan Liang-"
This roar quickly burned into a prairie fire like a spark.
"If Yan Liang is not destroyed, I will never give up--"
"If Yan Liang is not destroyed, I will never give up--"
The generals of the Eastern Wu, like crazy beasts, were all venting their anger in anger.
In the entire lobby, the roar of revenge sprinted through everyone's eardrums, trembling so hard that everyone's ears were buzzing.
Sun Quan glanced at the generals who were in high spirits of fighting and nodded slightly. Only then did he show a look of satisfaction on his cold and blue face.
At this moment, Sun Quan took advantage of the generals' strong fighting spirit and sent an order to order the troops to prepare. The army defeated Chaisang and went back to Jiangxi to attack Yan Liang in Fankou.
...
After the military discussion ended, Sun Quan returned to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Sun Quan saw that there were many female soldiers in red in the mansion. When he saw Sun Quan coming, he stepped forward to pay his respects.
Sun Quan frowned and walked into the yard with big strides. Sure enough, he saw his little sister dancing with a few female soldiers.
"Little sister, if you don't stay in Moling, how dare you steal Chaisang privately?" Sun Quan asked dissatisfiedly.
When Sun Shangxiang saw that his brother had come, he threw the silver spear in his hand to the female soldier under his command and said with a smile: "The second brother said this, it seems like I am a thief. I didn't steal Chaisang, I came here openly."
Sun Shangxiang was also used to being spoiled. In front of his subordinates, he spoke to Sun Quan, the Lord of Jiangdong.
Sun Quan's face darkened, he glared at the female soldiers, and shouted, "Let's go down."
However, the female soldiers did not respect Sun Quan's orders and only looked at Sun Shangxiang to ask for her intentions.
After Sun Shangxiang nodded, the female soldiers in red had just stepped back.
In a blink of an eye, only his brother and sister were left in the yard.
"Chaisangnai's battle front line is not your place to play. Get up and go back to Moling quickly, so don't mess around here anymore." Sun Quan stared at his eyes and said loudly.
Sun Shangxiang suddenly showed displeasure and pouted her pink mouth and said, "Second brother, what are you talking about? I'm not a joke. I came to Chaisang this time to help my brother fight and help him kill Yan Liang."
Sun Shangxiang's tone was relaxed and tight, as if to her, killing Yan Liang was as simple as stepping on an ant.
Hearing his sister's arrogance, Sun Quan couldn't help but sneer.
"You said it easily. Do you think Yan Liang is the target of your arrow practice, so it is easy for you to kill it?"
Sun Quan did not hide his sarcasm. Although he hated Yan Liang to the core, he was determined to defeat Yan Liang, but he never thought that it was easy to wipe out Yan Liang.
Sun Shangxiang liked to dance with swords and guns since childhood. Jiangdong people nicknamed "Bow Harness" because they were quite martial arts, but they never went to the battlefield after all. Naturally, they didn't know how powerful Yan Liang was.
She heard her brother's sarcasm, and then snorted coldly, asking back: "My second brother is so afraid of Yan Liang. Could it be that brother is afraid of that guy?"
My sister's words stirred Sun Quan's nerves.
He immediately frowned and said proudly: "For my brother, there are countless elite soldiers and powerful generals, and the navy is even more scattered across the Yangtze River. How could he be afraid of that mere rebel general from the Yuan family?"
Sun Shangxiang raised his lips and chuckled, "Since he is the second brother, he is not afraid of Yan Liang at all, are he still afraid that he can't protect my sister?"
Sun Shangxiang acted cleverly and used a method of provoking him.
Sun Quan was stunned, and then realized that he had been fooled by his own girl, so he was angry and laughed. He shook his head helplessly.
"You, you, you ghost girl." Sun Quan had a bitter face and finally showed a helpless smile.
Sun Shangxiang smiled and hurriedly took his brother's hand, "Second brother, then what you mean is that I won't drive my little sister away."
"You ghost girl, you have used the trick of provoking you. Isn't it like you're afraid of Yan Liang's man?" Sun Quan sighed with a smile.
"Second brother. You are so good. I admire you the most, little sister." Sun Shangxiang excitedly flattered her brother.
Sun Quan's face turned aside and said seriously: "You can stay, but you have to promise me that I can only stay in Chaisang City and do not run out of the city. Otherwise, if there is a mistake, I will not be able to explain to my mother."
"Well, I must listen to my second brother. I will never run around." Sun Shangxiang made a serious promise.
Only then did Sun Quan nod his head with satisfaction.
Sun Shangxiang held his hand and looked up at him with admiration. "Yan Liang is really brave. He dared to provoke me Jiangdong repeatedly. This time he finally angered his second brother. Second brother, how do you deal with him after you destroy this thief?"
Sun Quan was very helpful to his sister's admiration, and his eyebrows were unconsciously showing some pride.
He sneered and said coldly: "What else can I do? Of course, I will be beheaded him to vent my hatred."
When Sun Shangxiang heard this, he immediately shouted: "It's too cheap to behead him. If the second brother captures that guy, he will hand him over to his younger sister. I will strip him naked and castrate him first. Then I will use a water-dip whip to suck him hard until his skin is broken and flesh is rotten until he is killed."
Sun Shangxiang spoke coldly, and when she talked about this tormenting thing, she was as relaxed and comfortable as eating and drinking water, which made Sun Quan feel a little embarrassed.
However, my sister's cruel way of dealing with Yan Liang also made Sun Quan feel very comfortable.
He laughed and said happily: "Okay, if Yan Liang's husband escapes death by chance and is captured by our army, he will hand him over to his younger sister for his brother and let you deal with it."
"That's great, thank you brother."
The brother and sister were energetic about the future, and there were sometimes smug laughter in the courtyard.
...
Fankou, the Central Army’s tent.
"Chaisang gathered 60,000 Wu troops. According to the detailed spy, Sun Quan is likely to send troops to win the Japanese and launch all the navy to Fankou..."
Zhou Cang read out the information from the enemy camp, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn in the big tent.
In Yan Liang's usual statement, the generals despise the enemy strategically, but in tactical terms, they have to pay attention to the enemy.
That was 60,000 people, and they were all the most elite navy troops. The generals had to admit that this was a very threatening army.
"Lord, Sun Quan is very powerful. With the current 20,000 naval troops, I am afraid that it will not be easy to retreat to the enemy. The last general thinks that it is time to transfer all the 10,000 naval troops in Xiangyang to the front line."
Even Gan Ning felt the shortcomings of insufficient military strength in the navy.
Yan Liang said, "The 10,000 naval troops in Xiangyang are of great use. They must not be put into use easily until the last moment."
Yan Liang left those ten thousand naval troops for the fleet, and could not be easily mobilized.
Gan Ning's proposal was rejected, and Lu Meng said again: "Since that is the case, we will think that our army should give up Fankou, retreat to Xiakou, rely on the strong city, and rely on the entire Jingzhou to fight a defensive counterattack."
"Although Fankou Camp has been built for several days, it is far less solid than Xiakou City. The Wu navy is powerful. Our army seems to be unstable just by relying on Fankou to resist. The last general also agreed with Ziming's suggestion and retreat to Xiakou."
Zhang Liao also accompanied Lu Meng's proposal.
The generals were not afraid of the Wu people, and the suggestions made were based on reality.
Yan Liang shook his head and said with a clear expression: "I was weak at that time, so I had to defend the city, so that the people of Wu wantonly enter Jingzhou to attack the city and plunder the land. However, the situation is different now. I will never allow the people of Wu to step into Jingzhou again. No matter how difficult it is this time, I will definitely defend the enemy outside the country."
The words of defending the enemy outside the country's gates have made all the generals look excited.
They seemed to be infected by Yan Liang's determination, and firm confidence gradually surged between their eyebrows.
However, after all, the Wu people had the strength of the navy, so it was not easy to defend the enemy outside the country. To win a battle, naturally, we cannot win by faith alone.
At this time, Jia Xu, who had been silent, slowly said: "I have a plan that may delay the attack time of the Wu people."
