Chapter 639 According to the trend of the horns of the three cities
Chapter 639: Following the power of the horns of the three cities
Jiangdong always relied on the dangers of the Yangtze River to be confident. In Sun Quan's opinion, no matter how powerful the Qin army was, they could only become kings on the road and not turn into landlubbers in the water? Now, this landlubber just swam across the natural chasm of the Yangtze River, and Jiangdong immediately became chaotic.

As the saying goes: Good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortune never comes alone. Just when Sun Quan was worried about the fall of Wuhu, bad news came from Chaisang again. Zhao Yun led Pang De and Zhang Liao to several counties, and the army besieged Chaisang. The guard of Chaisang could not
Don't send anyone for help.
The letter asking for help was handed to Sun Quan, but his face was full of bitterness. He didn't want to send troops to help, but the Qin army was approaching Jianye, and he really didn't dare to divide his troops. Otherwise, once the Qin army came to the city, he would be captured!
Sun Quan still remembered that in Runan, in order to rescue Cao Cao, he led 300,000 Jiangdong troops, but in just the first confrontation, half of the army was lost. There were still a large number of soldiers fleeing on the way back, and he no longer had enough troops to fight with Liu Zhang
Confrontation. If Sima Yi and Cao Pi had not led troops to help, he would not have the confidence to fight the Qin army!
Thinking of Sima Yi, a gleam flashed in Sun Quan's eyes. He had always relied on Lu Su, but Lu Su had disappointed him. Now that he had a tomb tiger who could compete with Wolong and Fengxiao, his mind became more active.
Sun Quan, who was originally from the Wuxun family, had no intention of restraining the family!
"Here, please invite Mr. Sima!" After thinking for a long time, Sun Quan decided to invite Sima Yi to discuss countermeasures. After all, the arrival of the Qin army had endangered everyone's interests.
"See King Wu!" Not long after, Sima Yi followed the principal to the meeting hall, but there was one more person beside him, and that was Cao Pi!
"Mr. Sima, Prince Cao is exempt from the courtesy! Please sit down!" Sun Quan cupped his hands. After the two sat down, he said: "You two, the Qin army has crossed the river!"
"What?" Cao Pi said in shock: "The Yangtze River is a natural chasm, and the Jiangdong Army is guarding it. How could the Qin Army cross the river? Could it be that the strength of the Jiangdong Navy was just blown away?"
"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty!" Sima Yi pushed Cao Pi. Now that he is under a low eaves, how can he not give Sun Quan face? He smiled and said: "Although the Jiangdong Navy is quite powerful, the Jinfan Navy also once crossed the Yangtze River.
"There are 100,000 naval troops in Jiangdong, as well as the Qin army. Even if the Qin army crosses the Yangtze River, it cannot be said that the Jiangdong army is incompetent!"
"What Mr. Sima said is true!" Sun Quan's slightly darkened face changed. He smiled and said: "Gan Ning and Zhou Yu are both world-famous water warfare generals. Lu Xun is also quite extraordinary, but our army's
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, the commanders of the navy, were brave but not wise enough! This time, Liu Zhang sent Gan Ning to attract Jiang Qin, but Zhou Tai's attention sent Zhou Yu to cross the river near Wuhu. (, watch the latest version of this book)
Update) By the time our army discovered it, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao had already gathered tens of thousands of troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River!"
"King Wu called us here, does he want us to resist the Qin army?" Sima Yi frowned, speaking from his heart, he was really helpless about the ability of Jiangdong Army.
"Of course not! I invited you two here to discuss with you how to face the Qin army. Now the Qin army is divided into two groups, attacking Jianye all the way and besieging Chaisang all the way. I don't know what to do!" Sun Quan shook slightly!
He shook his head, his face full of helplessness, the Qin army was too powerful!
Of course, Sun Quan didn't let Sima Yi take action because he looked down on Cao's army. Although the Qin army had always been strong, but thinking that Cao's army had more than one million people and was defeated easily, just like Yuan Shao back then, Sun Quan felt very contemptuous. In his opinion, Cao's army was easily defeated.
Come on, if he has an army of millions and a general like Lu Bu, he will definitely not be defeated by Liu Zhang.
"This..." Sima Yi hesitated for a while, then hesitantly said: "King Wu, Jianye can't defend it anymore!"
"Mr. Sima, are you kidding?" Sun Quan frowned. He spent a lot of money to build Jianye like an iron wall. He never believed that Jianye could not hold it!
"King Wu, I don't want to say this, but do you think I would make a joke about this kind of thing?" Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "Although you and I still have more than 200,000 troops, there are only 50,000 Jiangdong troops near Jianye.
Cao Jun and I brought 50,000 troops. As far as I know, the Qin army alone has nearly 200,000 cavalry troops, and we can't stop it at all!"
"Gu can defend the city!" Sun Quan said solemnly: "The walls of Jianye have been heightened and the moat has been deepened. I don't believe I can't stop the Qin army!"
"My King, I can't stop it!" Cao Pi said with a bitter smile: "Have you forgotten how Xuchang, Runan, and Shouchun fell? The Shouchun City built by my father is not as good as Jianye, but it is not far behind. In the Qin Army
Shouchun could only hold out for less than two years under the heavy equipment. No matter how strong Ye City is, what will happen if you keep it for three years? By then, it will be nothing more than an isolated city, and we will be trapped and die here!"
"This..." Sun Quan wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to refute. Cao Pi's words were not only reasonable, but also based on facts. He couldn't help but ask: "According to what Cao Pi said, isn't there no hope for us?"
"How could there be no hope?" Sima Yi said with a smile: "Now that the Qin army has attacked Jianye, we simply regard Jianye as the front line, shrink our troops to Wu County, and let Jianye, Wu County, and Kuaiji act as equals.
, won’t it be possible to block the Qin army if you are deployed from the center?”
"Although Wu County is also a fortified city, it cannot be compared with Jianye. If we retreat there, it will be in danger once the Qin army reaches the city!" Sun Quan shook his head, he really didn't want to give up Jianye.
"Don't worry, King Wu!" Sima Yi said with a smile: "If we retreat to Wu County, even if the Qin army breaks the city again, the worst we can do is to settle overseas. No matter how powerful the Qin army's navy is, is it possible that he can still chase us to the sea?"
"Overseas?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Sima Yi and thought to himself: Could it be that our army has found a habitable island overseas and let Sima Yi know about it?
As if not seeing the doubt in Sun Quan's eyes, Sima Yi smiled and said: "There will always be a suitable place for survival in the endless sea. With the Jiangdong navy and warships, it is not difficult to conquer the sea. If Wu Jun really cannot hold it, we will go overseas."
Go and claim kingship. After Liu Zhang dies, we will lead our troops back. King Wu, we are much younger than Liu Zhang. When Liu Zhang is old, we will not be more than middle-aged. I don’t believe it. Liu Zhang’s son
Still our opponent!"
"Okay!" Sun Quan said, patting the handsome case: "In that case, let's give it a try! Come and pass the order, let Lu Meng stick to Jianye, Lu Su withdraw his troops from Kuaiji, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai from the mouth of the sea to Wu Commandery!"
"No!" The principal who had been waiting at the door immediately ran away, but Sima Yi, who was sitting at the bottom, nodded. He was very pleased with Sun Quan's courage. If he didn't even have the guts to fight, he might as well surrender!
Looking at the retreating figure of the principal, Sun Quan was still a little uneasy. He turned around and said, "Mr. Sima, Crown Prince Cao, we still need to work together to guard Wu County..."
"How dare you not serve your Majesty!" Sima Yi and Cao Pi quickly stood up and looked at each other and smiled at Sun Quan!
Jiangdong's strategy changed, and the defensive strategy was naturally different. In order to resist the Qin army, Sun Quan ordered all the troops along the Yangtze River to shrink to the port near Jianye, and asked all the young men in Jianye city to form an army to resist the Qin army's siege. Of course, regardless of
Whether it's Sun Quan, Sima Yi or Cao Pi, they all know that using these young men to defend the city is better than nothing!
At the foot of Jianye City, Liu Zhang stood in command of his army. Looking at the familiar city wall, he felt filled with emotion. The world would finally be unified in his hands.
"Your Majesty, let's attack the city!" Meng Da was a little anxious when he saw Liu Zhang was silent for a long time. As the commander of the equipment camp, he had achieved a lot of meritorious service in several sieges. Now, his title has been promoted to Tinghou.
If you accumulate enough, you can be promoted to the rank of Marquis.
"Why are you so anxious?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I heard that Sun Quan has led his troops to leave, and the city is full of civilians. The only one who is stubbornly resisting is Lu Ziming. Send someone to issue an ultimatum first!"
"Just let me go!" Meng Da said with a smile: "A strong city like Jianye should naturally be broken by the equipment battalion."
"Then it's up to you!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "But you have to hurry up, I don't want this siege to take another two years!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this time, we will be able to break through in less than half a year!" Meng Da patted his chest, looking very confident, but Liu Zhang didn't believe it.
You know, Jianye City is much stronger than Shouchun, and a stone bullet can only leave a white mark. It took nearly two years for Shouchun alone, let alone Jianye?
Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't seem to believe it, Meng Da became a little anxious. He whispered in Liu Zhang's ear: "Your Majesty, Jianye is indeed stronger than Shouchun, but I have a way. There is a plum rain season in the south of the Yangtze River. Every May and June, the rainfall will increase.
Skyrocketing. Although the terrain of Jianye is high, I can divert water to irrigate the foundation, soften the city wall, and then use the Thunderbolt Car to destroy the city wall!"
"Huh?" Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Meng Da to have such a talent. After looking Meng Da up and down, he smiled and said, "I can't tell, you still have this ability. Not bad, look.
Laigu should change your position! How about becoming a general in the former army?"
"Your Majesty, thank you. How can a general like this have such ability?" Meng Da has always liked cheating and cheating. The equipment camp is both meritorious and safe, so he doesn't want to leave. Seeing that Liu Zhang wanted to mobilize himself, he quickly smiled and said: "General
I have a good relationship with Mr. Zhuge. I accidentally heard him talk about it last time, so I secretly paid attention to it, but the king laughed at me!"
"That's not bad!" Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Maybe Kong Ming means to teach you, or maybe he doesn't mean to teach you, but if you remember it carefully, you will be rewarded! Work hard, I will look after you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I'll take action now!" Meng Da quickly saluted and left. He thought, as long as Liu Zhang didn't mention the change of positions!
The Qin army took up positions. Meng Da led his troops to deliver the ultimatum below the city, but there was still no movement on the city. The Qin army's weapons once again showed their power, and huge boulders slammed into Jianye City. Meng Da rode his horse and stood in front of the army, staring intently.
He was walking towards the top of the city, but Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head behind him...
