The next day, Wu County, Jiangdong.

In Wujun City, in the Wuhou Mansion.

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and watched the battle report:

"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"

"In just a few days, we couldn't even defend a Lujiang River!"

"Then no matter how fierce Cao Cao's offensive is, can't he hold on until Liu Bei's reinforcements arrive?"

"And why is Liu Bei so slow?"

Lu Su stood in front of Sun Quan with a solemn expression, and finally said:

"Lord... I'm afraid Liu Bei won't be able to make it."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Quan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lu Su with a look of disbelief on his face.

Lu Su sighed:

"The tiger and leopard cavalry discovered Liu Bei's movements and went to attack Jiaozhou."

"The envoys sent by Liu Bei said that they were afraid that if our two armies were lost in Jiaozhou, we would have no way out, so we had to return to defense."

"Also... Liu Bei's army can't attack Shanyue at all!"

Sun Quan was immediately furious:

"Is this Liu Xuande a waste?"

"With hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in hand, they can't even defeat a small Shanyue?"

After saying this, Sun Quan was just venting his anger.

Sun Quan knew very well how difficult it was to conquer the mountains.

Now all the 50,000 troops and horses he sent to Shanyue have been recovered.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that we can't attack it.

No matter what he did, Sun Quan would not give up attacking Shanyue.

But today's Shanyue is like a turtle shell, which is difficult to break into.

No matter what Sun Quan tried, he couldn't even get up the mountain.

He even doubted whether the people on this mountain were still Shanyue people.

Logically speaking, in a barren place like Shanyue, if you don't have enough food and grass to last for a few days, you have to go down the mountain.

At that time, these mountains are at their weakest.

Although Sun Quan couldn't understand why Shanyue today had such powerful ballistas and crossbows.

But once they get off the mountain, they are no match for Jiangdong's athletes.

However, several months have passed, and there is still no movement on the other side of Shanyue.

"Could it be that these Shanyue people have found a way to grow good grain and grass?!"

Sun Quan couldn't help but asked in confusion.

However, Lu Su could not answer Sun Quan's question at all.

Theoretically, this is simply impossible.

If crops could be grown normally in Shanyue, enough to feed so many Shanyue people, it would be absolutely impossible for them to come down and plunder.

After all, looting requires feeling the wrath of Jiangdong soldiers.

There are definitely not a few people who have died in such a long time.

However, if this is not used to explain it, what else can be used to explain it?

Can't the Shanyue people go to other barbarian lands to plunder and harvest a lot of food?

If this is really possible, then why has Shankoshi been coming to Jiangdong for so long to invade?

Although you can loot a lot of supplies every time you go up and down the mountain, you will also suffer huge losses.

This is actually a huge loss for Shanyue.

Originally, Shanyue was known as Baiyue and had many soldiers. However, now, it is because of the lack of troops and lack of stable food sources that it has become what it is today.

"Damn it, forget about these mountains for now!"

"Then forget it if Liu Bei doesn't come!"

"Zijing, send an envoy to tell Liu Xuande that if he doesn't send troops, the south will be pacified."

"Otherwise, even if I, Jiang Dong, die, I will definitely have to fight to the death with him!"

Sun Quan shouted loudly, and Lu Su quickly accepted the order and retreated to find the envoy sent by Liu Beijun.

Of course, Lu Su definitely couldn't follow Sun Quan's original words and say this.

Having been with Sun Quan for so long, Lu Su naturally has experience.

After all, Sun Quan was very angry right now, and all he said were angry words.

If he really threatened Liu Bei like this, Liu Bei would have nothing to worry about now. At worst, he would just run south from Jiaozhou.

Because the effort was not directly proportional to the income, Cao Cao would definitely not send soldiers to chase him.

What's more, if they pursue, they won't necessarily be dealing with Liu Bei alone, there will also be many local barbarians.

If Liu Bei is angered, it will be very bad for Jiangdong now.

Therefore, Lu Su told the envoy very tactfully:

"Please go back and tell your master."

"We must deal with the south as soon as possible... Jiangdong may not be able to hold on for long."

The messenger immediately nodded and said:

"Please rest assured, sir, my lord and military advisor have already been prepared."

"Now, my lord has sent two generals, Guan and Zhang, to garrison at the bank of the Yangtze River."

"Once the situation in Jiangdong becomes irreversible, everyone in Jiangdong is requested to step across the river in time."

"As long as this is the case, General Guan and Zhang will definitely be able to help you cut off your retreat."

When Lu Su heard this, his frown suddenly relaxed.

It seems that Liu Bei is not a villain yet.

If Liu Bei was a villain, he would never contact Jiangdong again and would have fled long ago.

Now that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are here, it will be easier to handle.

Although Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry are brave, they still have to be stationed in Jingzhou.

To put it bluntly, Cao Chun simply did not have the time or experience to deal with Liu Bei and others.

In this way, there is a way out.

As long as there is a way out, you can let go of your hands and do your best to fight Cao Cao.

Maybe, Cao Cao may not be able to conquer Jiangdong.

Although the hope was slim, I didn’t give it a try.

However, if this great Jiangdong moves out, I don’t know how many soldiers it can bring out.

The people are definitely not willing to leave.

Lu Su now fully understands the scene when Zhou Yu committed suicide.

This is probably what it feels like to face Jiangdong's elders shamelessly.

However, he did not expect that Cao Cao's offensive would be so fierce.

In just one month, they actually captured all nine counties in Jingzhou!

Nine counties!

However, it was not Liu Bei's fault, after all, Jiangdong also tried his best.

In fact, there is not much difference in military strength.

Cao Cao sent 500,000 troops, but the defenders also had at least 400,000 troops. They were on the defensive side, so they had an advantage.

However, Cao Cao didn't play according to the routine at all.

They attacked fiercely again and again, occupying the city, and their weapons, equipment and armor were far ahead of their own side.

Therefore, it is probably only a matter of time before Jiangdong falls completely.

Thinking of this, Lu Su couldn't help but sigh heavily and looked at the cloudless sky.

Unexpectedly, I, a native of Jiangdong, would have to leave my hometown one day.

Thinking of this, Lu Su felt extremely heavy.

But even so, Lu Su knew very well that he could not fall now.

As the Grand Governor, if I give up, what will the Jiangdong soldiers do?

Today there is only one way.

Just try your best to drive Cao Jun out of Jiangdong!
