Originally, the water camps of Zhuge Jin and Lu Su formed an angle with each other and served as defenses for each other. Jia Xu deceived Zhuge Jin and immediately took advantage of Zhuge Jin's withdrawal to occupy Zhuge Jin's position with his own navy, using Zhuge Jin's banner.
, launched an attack on Lu Su.
Yu Jin and Jia Xu did not know how to command the navy, but he was still able to shoot arrows in large numbers and run rampant. Lu Su's navy was completely unprepared. The sailors were disrupted before they were in position, and the water camp was ablaze.
"It's over, it's over." Lu Su looked at this scene and already knew that it was completely over, and there was nothing he could do even if he lingered.
The battle lasted from midnight to dawn. Yu Jin and Jia Xu paid a heavy price and finally occupied the Lusu water camp. Countless Jiangdong naval forces surrendered. At dawn, these naval forces discovered that it was not Zhuge Jin at all, but Yu Jin and Jia Xu.
brag.
If Lu Su is not captured, Yu Jin and Jia Xu will not let him go. Lu Su is the first kill for Jiangdong and the Sichuan Army. Such credit must be obtained, otherwise not only will there be no credit, but the Sichuan Army will also suspect that he surrendered.
Sincerity.
Yu Jin Jia Xu immediately dispersed his troops and patrolled the water. The shores were tightly guarded. Now the Sichuan Army and Jiangdong Army were facing off at Poyang Lake. There were no enemy troops. Yu Jin Jia Xu's tens of thousands of people only had to capture Lu Su.
Jia Xu offered a huge reward.
Although Lu Su was very resourceful and knew how to swim, he could not escape the blockade and arrest of tens of thousands of people when he fell into the lake. Moreover, these Cao army sailors all knew Lu Su. Within a day, Lu Su was at the mouth of a fork river, trying to
While going up the river, he was caught by Cao Jun's sailors.
In Jin, Jia Xu sent a clipper to send a letter to Wei Wen, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Navy.
…
In Prince Wu's Mansion in Wucheng, Sun Quan was the first to proclaim himself king, but he was also the first to be forced to give up the throne. Later, the Sichuan army launched a unification war, which completely broke the relationship, and Sun Quan proclaimed himself king again.
At this time, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were discussing the next strategy for Jiangdong.
No matter what a great hero or how powerful a counselor he is, he will feel extremely stressed in a situation like Jiangdong's. The two of them discussed from morning to night, discussing the next battle of Jiangdong's army after the Sichuan army launched a war.
and logistical supplies, for fear of making a mistake.
"Lord." Zhou Yu said: "If we want to survive in Jiangdong, we must first win the next battle. Wei Yan, Fazheng and Wei Wen are preparing for the final battle, and we must win.
But the Sichuan army has more troops and higher morale than us, so we cannot win across the board. Zhou Yu believes that we only need to win locally."
"Partial?"
"Yes, part of it is the navy. If the Sichuan army wants to capture Jiangdong, it must cross the Yangtze River. If our army wants to keep Jiangdong, it also needs the navy.
Therefore, we only need to deal with the Sichuan Navy's navy with all our strength. As for how many infantry troops of the Sichuan Army enter Jiangdong, we don't have to worry about it. At the worst, we will let them burn, kill and loot.
As long as we defeat the Sichuan navy and block the waterways, the Sichuan infantry will have no choice but to retreat.
Sichuan Army Fazheng Wei Wen must also know this truth. Therefore, this decisive battle is not a decisive battle between all the Sichuan troops on the other side and us, but a duel between the navy and the navy. I will attack Wei Wen with all my strength and strive for heavy damage."
"Well, thank you Gong Jin for your hard work." Sun Quan nodded. Sun Quan knew in his heart that although Zhou Yu said this, it was still very difficult. It would not be so easy to defeat the Sichuan Army and Navy.
Although Cao Cao had an army of 800,000 in history, most of them were landlubbers. However, the naval force led by Wei Wen was no worse than the Jiangdong Army in combat power, making it very troublesome.
But at this time, Sun Quan could only believe Zhou Yu.
"If this battle can be won." Zhou Yu said: "The extent of the losses of the Sichuan Army and the Navy is the time we can cultivate. During this period, we must first deal with people's livelihood, and secondly, we must fully develop the Navy. As long as the Navy can overwhelm the Sichuan Army.
, No matter how many troops the Sichuan Army has, we are invincible."
Zhou Yu was a comprehensive thinker and discussed the upcoming battle with Sun Quan. Even though the probability of victory was not too high, he also took into account what happened next to Jiangdong.
However, the more he spoke, the sadder Zhou Yu felt, and Sun Shangxiang's words echoed in his mind.
No matter how hard you fight and how hard you work, the best result is that Jiangdong will be divided into Han Dynasties, the Yangtze River will never be peaceful, and the people will increase their tax burden. Is this really necessary?
At the end, Zhou Yu finally couldn't hold it back and said tactfully to Sun Quan: "My lord, do you still have the ambition of the world in your heart? Have you thought about Jiangdong in the future and how many years it will take to complete your great cause?"
"Gong Jin..." Sun Quan had been listening quietly to Zhou Yu's strategy, but now he fell silent after hearing Zhou Yu's words.
"My lord, forgive me." Zhou Yu noticed the gaffe and immediately apologized, saying loudly: "No matter what my lord decides, Zhou Yu will swear allegiance to the death."
Sun Quan waved his hand: "Gong Jin is not guilty. At this time, I am afraid that not only Gong Jin, but also all the civil and military officials in Jiangdong are thinking about this issue. Even if the world wins this great victory, I, Sun Quan, may not be able to fight for it in my life.
If we are trapped in Jiangdong, how will we be different from those previous war-fearing clans? It’s really sad.”
Sun Quan said the last sentence sincerely. He just felt that he had sacrificed too much for the great cause. He didn't expect that he would have to be trapped in Jiangdong like those conservative families. Sun Quan really felt sad in his heart.
"Forget it, don't think about it, the worst possible outcome is death." Sun Quan said loudly.
Zhou Yu immediately said: "Zhou Yu will fight a beautiful water battle for our lord in Poyang Lake."
At this moment, a soldier flew on horseback to report: "My lord, the Governor, urgent report from Chaohu, Jia Xu Yujin suddenly attacked Lu Su, Lu Su's navy was wiped out, and I was captured. Jia Xu Yujin has sent a letter.
Escort Lu Su and surrender to the Sichuan Army."
"What? Lu Su was arrested?"
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were shocked at the same time. Although the Chaohu navy under Lu Su's control did not unite with the Jiangdong army, it was also the mortal enemy of the Sichuan army. Wei Wen, the commander of the Sichuan navy, had to divide his troops to guard against Chaohu.
In this way, the pressure on the Jiangdong Navy will be much less. In fact, although the Chaohu Navy and the Jiangdong Navy are not officially united, they are indirectly united, but Sun Quan and Lu Su have not said it out.
Now that Lu Su is dead and Yu Jin and Jia Xu have surrendered, there are tens of thousands of naval troops. In this case, General Wei Wen's army has gathered in Poyang Lake. Is there any hope for the Jiangdong navy?
"Lu Su, didn't he claim to be a national scholar and very resourceful? Didn't he say that he was good at defense and water warfare? Now he was caught by two landlubbers, Yu Jin and Jia Xu. It's really ridiculous, ridiculous, really ridiculous."
Sun Quan laughed, but there was clearly an angry look on his face. Although he was happy that Lu Su was captured and sent to the Sichuan Army, what awaited Lu Su would definitely be torture and execution.
However, Lu Su was captured, which also put Jiangdong's army into a desperate situation, and Sun Quan's hatred and anger towards Lu Su deepened.
"My lord, Lu Su was captured, Yu Jin and Jia Xu surrendered, the Sichuan army's strength in Poyang Lake has increased sharply, and a full-scale attack will inevitably be launched in advance. What should we do?" Zhou Yu asked immediately.
"What do you mean by Gong Jin?"
"Either fight or surrender."
Sun Quan frowned deeply, and Zhou Yu clearly saw that Sun Quan did not want to surrender, and loudly said: "If my lord is unwilling to join the Sichuan army, Zhou Yu will fight until every soldier is killed. Tomorrow Zhou Yu will set off for Poyang Lake."
Sun Quan did not answer Zhou Yu's words, and sat in silence for a long time. Originally, Jiangdong Army's chances of winning were not high, but now that the Sichuan Army's strength has soared, how could it be defeated? Jiangdong Army was really out of ammunition and food.
If you fight, you will perish.
Sun Quan let out a long breath and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, let me think about it, and I will give you the answer before you go out tomorrow."
Zhou Yu listened to Sun Quan's words and knew that Sun Quan was now relieved and might surrender. However, it was really difficult for a king with the world in his heart to make such a decision.
It was impossible for Zhou Yu to force Sun Quan to make a decision, so he immediately handed over his hands and said: "My lord, Zhou Yu is resigning. No matter what my lord's decision is tomorrow, Zhou Yu will never say anything about it."
…
Zhou Yu left the palace, and the two discussed it for a day. It was already dark when they came out, and he took two soldiers back to the palace under the moonlight. Before they reached the door of the palace, they suddenly saw something happened in front of his palace from a distance.
"How many times do I have to tell you? The Governor is not here. He asked you to come back tomorrow, but you refused to listen. Well, you said you had something urgent and wanted to go in and wait. I didn't say no, but you should at least explain your identity, right?
You even used a false identity twice. If the general hadn't known everything and you got in, someone like you must have evil intentions. However, my governor and his wife are both good people. I won't send you to see the official in the middle of the night. Go away.
."
A gatekeeper general at the door yelled at a person. The man was still begging for something. Maybe the gatekeeper general was tired and pushed the person out.
Zhou Yu heard the guard's words from afar and felt that there was nothing wrong with the guard. People who showed false identities should not be let into the mansion. If he hurt Qiao Wuxue, Zhou Yu would not forgive himself.
Zhou Yu didn't take it to heart and was about to go back to his house, but suddenly his expression changed. He saw the person who was pushed out had no choice but to leave Zhou's house. Before he had gone far, two people rushed out from the woods and covered him up.
The man opened his mouth and dragged him towards the woods.
Zhou Yu immediately realized something was wrong and said to the two soldiers behind him: "Get out of here."
"yes."
The two soldiers were both masters. They rushed into the woods quickly and knocked down the two people in the woods in a short while. The man whose mouth was covered was already dying, with blood on his palms, chest, and throat.
The two men who rushed out of the woods wanted to cut the man's throat, but they were grabbed tightly with their hands. The knife mark on the throat was not deep, but the other man immediately stabbed the man in the chest.
When the two men who were knocked down by the soldiers saw Zhou Yu, their expressions changed.
When Zhou Yu saw this scene, he immediately frowned. This was obviously an attempt to kill someone and silence him. He asked coldly: "What's going on?"
Before the bloody man could speak, the man who was knocked down on the ground immediately replied: "Grand Governor, this man is a remnant of the family. We are going to kill him to avenge our late lord." To be continued)
