Sun Shangxiang is threatening Yan Liang. What Yan Liang hates most is others threatening him. This was true when he was still weak, and it is even more true today when he is sitting on the land of two states and is so powerful.
"You dare to threaten me, that's good." Yan Liang's face darkened, and he shouted: "There is no need to chop off the hands and feet, just cut the body of this guy named Sun into pieces for me."
Sun Shangxiang's expression changed in shock, but he did not expect that his threat would cost his cousin his life.
In desperation, Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "Yan Liang, if you dare to kill my brother, I can't spare you."
Although Sun Shangxiang's tone was much softer than before, it still contained a threatening tone.
Yan Liangliang felt increasingly unhappy, but he waved his hand to signal to his subordinates to stay.
Sun Shangxiang thought Yan Liang had been fooled by him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, just when she was about to say another word, Yan Liang suddenly said: "First cut this guy named Sun into a stick, then cut him into pieces with a thousand knives, and then kill him alive when he is in pain."
Throw it to the dogs."
Sun Shangxiang was shocked. Unexpectedly, Yan Liang was not frightened by her, but her methods became more and more cruel every time.
Now Sun Shangxiang finally understood that his threats were of no use to this violent man. Now that he has defeated your Sun family, how can he take you seriously?
Several pro-soldiers followed the order and were ready to operate on Sun Yu.
Sun Yu's face was grim, and he still did not beg for mercy, but his eyes looked towards Sun Shangxiang in pain, as if he was asking for help from his sister.
Sun Yu's eyes could not escape Yan Liang's eyes. He knew that this so-called brave general of the Sun family was actually afraid in his heart. He was just afraid of his reputation and refused to beg for mercy. Instead, he pinned the shameful thing of begging for mercy on
On his cousin.
A hint of contempt flashed across Yan Liang's blade-like eyes.
Sun Shangxiang was so anxious that her face was soaked in sweat, and she was even more in a dilemma, extremely tangled.
If he didn't plead with Yan Liang, he would have to watch his cousin being brutally killed. Sun Shangxiang couldn't bear it.
However, as the eldest daughter of the Sun family, with such an honorable status, how could she show mercy to Yan Liang, a mortal enemy and a thug? What would happen to her dignity and pride?
While he was struggling, Soldier Yan's blade had already been drawn out, ready to chop off Sun Yu's hand.
At the last moment, Sun Shangxiang couldn't care less and gritted his teeth and said: "Yan Liang, I beg you not to hurt my brother."
This proud little wild horse finally relented.
Yan Liang was in a very happy mood, but when he saw Sun Shangxiang's expression of regret, the dissatisfaction on his face still did not fade away.
"Miss Sun, am I right? It seems that you are begging me for mercy, but from the look of your expression, it doesn't look like you are begging for mercy." Yan Liang said sarcastically.
Sun Shangxiang felt that his dignity had been damaged. At this point, he had no choice.
She could only hold hatred in her heart, but she tried her best to suppress the anger on her face. She just lowered her head and said silently: "General Yan, Shang Xiang, please don't hurt my brother."
Looking at the sad face, Yan Liang was satisfied now.
"I appreciate women who know how to submit to softness the most. Well, just for your sake, I will spare his life. Come on, take this person named Sun and keep him under safe custody.
Yan Liang waved his hand and shouted.
In fact, Yan Liang didn't want to kill Sun Yu. Even if he didn't surrender, it would still be a valuable trophy for him. Like Zhuge Jin, it would be of great use in the future, so there was no harm in leaving them alive.
.
The reason for Yan Liang's intimidation was just to kill the two Suns so that they would not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
Seeing Yan Liang's mercy, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his brother, his eyes full of concern.
And Sun Yu escaped, although he was secretly glad in his heart, but he had a look of anger on his face. When he looked at Sun Shangxiang, there was still a bit of resentment in his eyes, as if he felt that Sun Shangxiang had surrendered to Yan Liang and lost their Sun family.
The reputation of the family.
Sun Yu's eyes were like needles piercing Sun Shangxiang, which made her feel a sense of grievance.
The changes in the expressions of his brother and sister could not escape Yan Liang's eyes.
When Sun Yu was taken away, Yan Liang sighed: "You didn't hesitate to put down your dignity to save him, but you blamed you for ruining the Sun family's reputation when you entered the family. Miss Sun, I really don't think it's worth it for you."
Yan Liang's words stung Sun Shangxiang even more. She bit her red lips silently, her expression gloomy and silent.
Yan Liang didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he ordered Sun Shangxiang to be taken away together, and he joined Huang Zhong and headed towards Chaisang City.
At this time, Sun Yu and the 7,000 capable Wu troops had been completely overrun. What was left in Chaisang City was only a few thousand remnant soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness, and a city of civilians who were so hungry that they had to give up their sons for food.
Yan Liang's army successfully entered Chaisang without using any troops.
This strategic location in the middle of the Yangtze River, guarding the throat of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, has finally once again planted the banner of "Yan".
More than a year ago, Yan Liang also occupied Chaisang, but that time he used a surprise attack. His real strength was not enough to defend Chaisang. In the end, he had to burn Chaisang to ashes and retreated to Jingzhou.
But this time, Yan Liang used his absolute strength to regain Chaisang. Not only was he confident in holding Chaisang, but he also wanted to build this place into a base for his march into Jiangdong.
After Chaisang was captured, the remaining people in the city naturally became Yan Liang's subjects. Yan Liang, who had enough food and grass, immediately ordered the release of food to help the victims.
These hungry people had reached the point where they could eat each other. The grace of survival made them quickly forget the identity of Yan Liang's invaders. They were grateful to the new ruler and worshiped him in every possible way.
In addition to tens of thousands of civilians in Chaisang City, there were nearly 5,000 surrendered soldiers of the Wu army. Including the previous captures, Yan Liang captured a total of nearly 8,000 surrendered soldiers in this battle with Sun Quan.
These eight thousand surrendered soldiers are all elite men who are familiar with water warfare. If they can be incorporated into his army, coupled with the hundreds of warships captured from the Wu army, the strength of Yan Liang's navy will be even greater.
Go up one floor.
So after appeasing the surrendered soldiers and making them well fed, Yan Liang broke up the eight thousand surrendered soldiers into several battalions and sent them to Jiangling, Xiakou, Xiangyang and other places for reorganization.
Shortly after capturing Chaisang, Yan Liang rewarded the three armies and the generals with meritorious service, and celebrated the hard-won victory.
While Yan Liang was immersed in the joy of celebrating his victory, Sun Quan and his Wu generals at the Hukou Fortress were licking the wounds of the disastrous defeat.
Sun Yu's more than 10,000 troops were lost in the water battle. In the Battle of Chaisang, Sun Quan lost almost more than one-third of his troops.
This heavy loss was almost irreparable for Sun Quan, who only owned Yangzhou.
When the news spread to Jiangdong, Sanwu was shocked. Even the three-year-old children did not dare to cry anymore when they heard Yan Liang's name.
Hukou Fortress, in the Chinese army's tent.
Sun Quan's face was gloomy and gloomy, his blue eyes flashed with anger and helplessness. What he was holding tightly in his hands was the intelligence just sent from Chaisang.
When Chaisang fell, clan brother Sun Yu and his sister Sun Shangxiang were all captured by Yan Liang. Thousands of Wu soldiers also surrendered to Yan Liang.
Sun Quan is the hater. He not only hates Yan Liang, but also hates Sun Yu for being incompetent. He continues to stand firm despite his general's orders.
In anger, Sun Quan cursed his brothers and put all the responsibility for Chaisang's fall on Sun Yu.
The generals listened silently, but secretly sighed in their hearts, and they all secretly cried out for Sun Yu.
During the more than 20 days since Chaisang was besieged, Sun Quan finally gathered more than 20,000 soldiers and horses at Hukou, claiming that he would never abandon Chaisang, let alone Sun Yu and the more than 10,000 besieged soldiers.
, once the time is right, they will definitely raise their troops and march westward to break the siege of Chaisang.
However, although Sun Quan shouted slogans loudly, he actually seemed to be frightened by the recent tragic defeat and never dared to send a single soldier to Chaisang.
All the generals know that there is not much food in Chaisang City, and it is very difficult for Sun Yu to be able to hold on for a whole month with no food. Now that the food and grass are cut off, it is helpless to lead the army to break through and be captured.
.
After Sun Quan lost his temper, he seemed to feel a little better, and he tore up the information and threw it on the ground.
"Chaisang is our gateway to the east of the Yangtze River and cannot be lost. I vow to take it back. If you have any good ideas, please feel free to tell me."
Sun Quan panted and shouted slogans again, but his confidence was clearly not that strong.
All the generals knew that with such a heavy loss of troops and low morale, it was almost impossible to recapture Chaisang, but they were afraid of offending Sun Quan, so they dared not say anything.
When Sun Quan saw that all the generals were silent, he said displeasedly: "What are you all doing with a sad face? Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Could it be that just because of one defeat, you were frightened by Yan Liang and did not dare to fight again?"
The generals looked at each other in shock, but there was no sound for a day.
Sun Quan's face became even more grim, and he glanced at the generals, and finally fixed his gaze on Lu Su.
"Zijing, tell me how we can take back Chaisang." Sun Quan asked.
Lu Suqian coughed a few times, took a deep breath, and cupped his hands and said: "It is natural to take back Chaisang, but Su thinks that with the current strength of our army, we want to take back Chaisang without going through a period of recuperation.
Sang, I’m afraid that’s not possible.”
Although Lu Su's status was different, he finally dared to tell the truth. When he said this, the other generals also nodded.
Sun Quan frowned and said in a deep voice: "If we don't take back Chaisang, are we just waiting for Yan Liang to march east from Chaisang and invade our hinterland east of the Yangtze River?"
"Yan Liang has been fighting with our army for several months, and his soldiers may also need to rest. Su thought that we might as well take this opportunity to make peace with him, so as to buy enough time for our army to regain its strength."
As soon as he heard Lu Su mention Yan He, Sun Quan's demeanor immediately changed and he was about to get angry.
At this time, Lu Su did not wait for Sun Quan to speak, and said first: "Back then, Gou Jian was able to defeat Fu Cha and achieve hegemony by lying down on his salary and tasting courage. My lord is an unparalleled hero in the world. For the sake of the great cause in the future, there is no harm in being a little patient."
Sun Quan also knew that with his current strength he could not take back Chai Sang, so the reason why he kept clamoring for a counterattack was just to save face.
Lu Su was also smart and knew that his lord wanted to save face, so he cleverly laid steps for Sun Quan to step down.
Sure enough, Sun Quan, who was about to get angry, calmed down in an instant. He frowned and thought hard for a long time, but then sighed softly.
"Yan Liang is now gaining the upper hand. Even if we want to make peace, he may not be willing." Sun Quan said worriedly.
Lu Su hurriedly said: "Su has a plan, maybe he can make Yan Liang make peace."
