When Zhou Tai heard Sun Shangxiang's words, this kind of words would definitely be a big blow to a loyal and righteous general. Even if it was not really loyal and righteous, he would not be able to overcome his face.
But Zhou Tai looked calm and almost didn't take it seriously. He bowed to Sun Shangxiang politely: "Miss Sun, Zhou Tai used to be a general in Jiangdong, but in the battle of Jiangling, Zhou Tai saved Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Wu, and now
The Navy Chief General Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, thought he was worthy of Jiangdong.
Regardless of whether the lady thinks Zhou Tai is shameless, Zhou Tai must tell the lady that I, Zhou Tai, will not show mercy."
"Who wants you to show mercy?"
Sun Shangxiang snorted disdainfully, waved his sword and led his army to Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai also used a sword. The long weapon was a cross sword and the short weapon was a long sword. The two swords intersected and there was no five combinations. Sun Shangxiang's right arm was pierced.
.
Sun Shangxiang is usually very hard-working in practicing swords, but he is not the former water thief Zhou Tai, who was later a professional general, and was also guided by Huang Yueying for one or two moves.
Sun Shangxiang was completely unable to defeat Zhou Tai and was about to fight to the death. Huang Yueying's army had arrived. Before completely surrounding him, Sun Shangxiang was rescued by his generals and fled eastward.
"I won't leave, I will fight with them."
Sun Shangxiang hated Sichuan Army even more now.
"Miss, if we continue like this, we can't leave any more." This time the general did not persuade him because Jiangdong was full of infantry and the Sichuan Army had cavalry, so he could not escape the Sichuan Army.
Lu Su disappeared. A woman commander, even if she was the lord's sister, the army of Jiangdong was not in harmony, and was covered in loose sand and could not resist at all.
"Go to the woods."
A general shouted and urgently advised Sun Shangxiang to walk into the woods. The Jiangdong army died, the surrendered, and the scattered, and there were only more than a hundred people following Sun Shangxiang.
"The leader is Sun Quan's sister? Where did Lu Su go?"
Huang Yueying asked Zhou Tai. But he didn't get the answer and clenched his fists. It seemed that Lu Su's army had run away. This army could be abandoned, but even his lord's sister was abandoned. Huang Yueying immediately figured it out. Lu Su's move was still there.
Very clever.
"Catching into the woods, I can't catch Lu Su, I'll talk about it if I catch Sun Shangxiang."
The Sichuan Army divided a group of mountain infantry into the woods. Huang Yueying personally led the team.
Infantry chases infantry, and it is not so easy to chase in the jungle. Sun Shangxiang roughly figured out the direction. She knew that she could go around the southeast here and go out of the woods to the Lujiang area. There is the territory of Jiangdong, so it should be easier to escape.
However, after a long journey, the Jiangdong Army got lost. I don’t know how to get out. There were woods everywhere and I couldn’t see far. Finally, the Jiangdong Army saw a woodcutter. This should be the junction of Lujiang and Jiangxia.
The woodcutter must know how to get to Lujiang.
"Old man, how do you get to Lujiang here?" Sun Shangxiang stepped forward and asked.
The woodcutter looked at Sun Shangxiang and his party, a little confused. Sun Shangxiang quickly explained: "We are soldiers from Jiangdong and are now being chased by Sichuan Man. I hope the old man will help us."
"Oh, just go there. Just keep walking."
The woodcutter pointed in a direction and left with the firewood.
Sun Shangxiang smiled: "It was the Jiangdong army that won the hearts of the people. When they heard that they were being pursued by the Sichuan barbarians, they immediately showed the way."
Sun Shangxiang and his soldiers ran away in the direction pointed by the woodcutter.
When Huang Yueying chased Sun Shangxiang based on clues left by the Jiangdong Army, even with her wisdom, she still couldn't understand why Sun Shangxiang wanted to lead people to the swamp.
……………………
After Huang Yueying caught Sun Shangxiang, she sent Zhou Tai to take over the northern city of Jingzhou and supported Fazheng by the way. She brought Sun Shangxiang back to Xuchang.
Recently, many things have happened in a very short time, and they have a great impact on the Sichuan Army, especially the matter of Jianye. Huang Yueying knew that Liu Zhang must have wanted to discuss with him. As expected, he met Liu Zhang who sent a letter to him halfway through.
Let her return to Xuchang immediately.
Jingzhou left Fa Zheng and Zhou Yu to continue fighting, and Zhou Yu also received the order from Jiangdong to retreat, but Zhou Yu could not be willing to do so. He was the same as Sun Quan's idea. If he conquered Jingzhou, he could use Jingzhou to fairly return to Jiangdong.
Even Zhou Yu was more willing than Sun Quan. If the Sichuan Army wanted to occupy Jiangdong, they would take it. They would directly take Sun Quan to Jingzhou and continue to fight against the Sichuan Army. At that time, Jiangdong would become an enclave of the Sichuan Army, and the people would be unstable. What should the Sichuan Army do?
.
But Zhou Yu thought so, and Lu Su would not think so. If the Sichuan army really took over Jiangdong, the people's hearts would be unstable and the Sichuan army would rule was difficult, but the consequence was that the aristocratic races were facing a catastrophe.
Lu Su first hoped that there would be a way to exchange for the children of the aristocratic clans captured by Jianye, and no matter what, he did not want the war to start in Jiangdong, so Lu Su retreated immediately.
As soon as Lu Su left, Fa Zheng's supply channel was opened, and Fa Zheng, who was on the verge of destruction, had a new gamble.
"Grandmaster, what should we do? It is reported that the rebel general Zhou Tai has already led reinforcements and will support Fa Zheng in a few days at most." Huang Gai said loudly to Zhou Yu.
"Old General, don't call Zhou Tai surrendered in the future. What he did to Jiangdong has done is full of kindness."
Zhou Yu said with a heavy expression on his face, his fist pounding on the table for a long time. It is indeed a big problem whether he is going or staying.
Jiangdong wants to retreat by itself. No matter who it means, Zhou Yu deeply believes in one truth: if there is no bargaining chip to negotiate with the other party, that is the fate of being slaughtered.
Once he withdrew from Jingzhou, Jiangdong would be the mermaid meat. At that time, the officials would probably accept the conditions that Liu Zhang offered. Even Liu Zhang directly attacked Jiangdong, and Jiangdong would be destroyed.
Zhou Tai has been in Baichuan for a while, and now the law is constantly weakening. Even if Lu Su retreats, it is not as good as Zhou Yu. If Zhou Tai can capture Baichuan before Zhou Tai arrives, and then occupy half of Jingzhou, there will be no other.
Is it a bargaining factor for Sichuan Army negotiations?
Zhou Yu thought of this and said to the generals in a deep voice: "I am sending my order, the army will not retreat. From now on, the entire army will fight to the death to attack the city, and the soldiers will besieged the lieutenant, the lieutenant will besieged the general, the general will besieged, I
Zhou Yu took his own words to thank the lord.”
"yes."
The generals from Jiangdong were stunned for a few seconds and bowed together. They knew that Zhou Yu had disobeyed, but these people would rather obey Zhou Yu's dispatch.
They were all pro-war factions, and they had been waiting for this battle in Jingzhou for too long. When the news of Jianye's loss came, they could hardly believe it.
No one wants the opportunity he has been waiting for for several years to lose, and it will be a big defeat.
Not to mention that Zhou Yu has a very high prestige, even if he has no prestige, these generals do not want to retreat. Capturing Jingzhou was their dream for many years. They could not bear it when they returned in a defeat.
On that day, Zhou Yu personally supervised the battle, fighting for one day and one night, the Jiangdong army sieges the city with no chance. The Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties, but the Sichuan army that ignited hope was not so easy to defeat, and Zhou Yu did not capture it.
Zhou Yu calculated the time and was about to rest and continue to attack the city. Another order came, but it was still an order to retreat. On the order, Zhang Hong had already entrusted the young general Lu Xun to take over all the military affairs in Jiangdong.
At this time, Lu Xun's reputation was unknown and was no different from ordinary weak scholars. Zhou Yu and Zhang Hong did not think that Lu Xun was anything wrong.
However, Zhou Yu knew the reason why Zhang Hong appointed Lu Xun, because he was the direct descendant of the four great masters of Jiangdong. This time the retreat order was issued by Lu Xun after taking over the military, and it was only one day later than Sun Quan's order.
Lu Xun's letter said that he was a scholar and could not command the army, and hoped that Zhou Yu would come back to command the army.
Zhou Yu still didn't care, but after another night of fierce fighting, news came from Jiangling that all the aristocratic servants who came to support the Jiangdong army had withdrawn from Jiangdong, which means that Zhou Yu's food and grass were cut off.
Zhou Yu suddenly felt extremely sad. He tried his best to cut off Fazheng's supply and food supply route. Lu Su retreated and failed.
And now my food route has been cut off by my own people.
Moreover, from the perspective of time, Sun Quan issued the retreat order, Lu Xun issued the retreat order in a tactful manner, and the servants withdrew, all of which were a day apart, which shows how urgent the aristocratic clans hoped that they would withdraw their troops.
On the first day, they forced Sun Quan to issue an order, on the second day, the new commander of Jiangdong requested, and on the third day, they cut off their own way of retreat. How afraid these people were these people were to stay in Jingzhou.
It seems that they are dealing with them, not their enemies.
"Do you have no overall situation in Jiangdong in your mind?"
Zhou Yu shouted in pain, and All Wu looked at him solemnly. Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, as if he was talking to himself: "Yes, what is the overall situation in Jiangdong to you? If I don't retreat, I will either lead the war to Jiangdong or
I just lost Jiangdong. No matter which one, you are afraid of it, right?
What's more, your family's children and property are still in the hands of others. What's the business of the overall situation in Jiangdong? What you care about is your children and your property. Don't let the war break out in Jiangdong."
"No, I must avenge my brother."
Zhou Yu thought of the spear that Sun Ce had inserted on the bank of the Yangtze River.
"I, Sun Ce from Jiangdong, here I swear to not kill Liu Zhang, and this gun will always stand here."
The words were still in my ears. At that time, I was next to my brother. After Sun Ce died, I swore that I must avenge my brother, but have I avenged my brother after so many years?
In the battle of Sanjiangkou, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were wiped out. In the battle of Jiangling, he and Lu Meng fled alone.
If you retreat in this battle in Jingzhou, Jiangdong will not only be completely defeated, but will also be damaged.
Although Zhou Yu didn't know the truth about Wangjiang Tower, he could still easily know that Jiangdong, which is forming a new army, had all military power controlled by the aristocratic clans. Zhou Yu had a premonition that as long as he retreated, he would never have a chance to take revenge.
"Soldiers, I, Zhou Yu, told you clearly that Jiangdong will not transport grain and grass for us anymore. Our grain and grass are cut off. However, Zhou Yu decided to continue the battle. If you don't go to Baichuan, you will never return to Wu. I will not leave. I will not
If you stop me, I, Zhou Yu, live and die with you."
The soldiers looked at each other and shouted in unison: "We will obey the orders of the Grand Commander and will never retreat."
