Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chapter 505 The water battle between Wei and Wu was just an act——

Under Hulao Pass, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu, the envoy of Soochow, was taken into a camp.

This is where the Wei army returning from the north temporarily set up camp, and Zhang Zhao walked into Cao Cao's camp.

In the military tent at this moment, apart from Cao Cao who was reading the military newspaper, Li Miao and Cheng Yu were also there... They were reporting to Cao Cao some urgent matters from the Ba family.

But as Zhang Zhao walked in, all the sounds suddenly stopped.

Cao Cao also looked up and saw that the person coming was Zhang Zhao. He was a little surprised and said with emotion: "If you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu, and if you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao. Is there no one available in Soochow? Now...even foreign affairs send envoys, Do we also need to use Zhang Zibu, who is much older?"

Because he had a mission, Zhang Zhao's face looked a little heavy. He cupped his hands towards Cao Cao and said: "In these troubled times, there are not many civil and military officials who can be trusted by Wu Hou..."

Who would have thought that just after his voice fell, Cao Cao screamed: "Either the civil and military officials of Soochow were deceived by the four sons of the Guan family? Or they were killed by Guan Yunchang -"

this…

Cao Cao's words made Zhang Zhao's face suddenly darken.

Dark as water…

He pondered for a while, then mustered up the courage to meet Cao Cao's tiger eyes, and asked sternly: "If the Wei Dynasty hadn't betrayed his trust, raided our land in Huainan, Soochow, and seized our Hefei, how could we, Soochow, have suffered such a heavy blow? I am today The reason why I came here for the Marquis of Wu is to seek justice from the Wei Dynasty, and ask the King of Wei!"

"Wei and Wu joined forces to fight against Jingzhou and annihilate Guan Yu... This was a tacit understanding between the two parties. Why did King Wei break the alliance, betray his promise, raid Huainan, plan to attack Hefei, kill my general, and put Soochow into a dangerous situation where we are surrounded by enemies from both sides? . Doesn’t the King of Wei know that if Wu dies... then Jingzhou will inevitably rise? Firstly, the King of Wei is willing to bear the name of treachery, and secondly, the King of Wei is acting as a helper for the tiger and raising the tiger is a source of trouble!"

Cao Cao did not expect that Zhang Zhao, who was only one year younger than him, would speak so harshly, wanting to accuse Cao Wei of raising an army.

Cao Cao frowned and was about to reply...

It was Li Miao who spoke first, "Hahahaha...hahahaha..." Li Miao laughed, laughed wildly, and ridiculed, and then said to Zhang Zhao: "Wei and Wu joined forces to fight against Jingzhou, and... also... killed Guan Yu, haha Hahahaha...thank you Zhang Zibu for saying this, I...I almost burst out laughing! Hahahaha..."

After a burst of laughter, Li Miao's voice became a little more serious.

"If you hadn't made a surprise attack on Changsha and Jiangling, with ten times the strength of the defenders, they would have been beaten in disgrace. If you hadn't faced Guan Yu's surprise attack and suffered a series of defeats, losing six cities in five days... let the Guan family army march straight in and capture Chaisang. ! Hmph... How could my great Wei be forced to this point? Why would my great Wei give up on our alliance with you?"

The more Li Miao spoke, the more powerful he became, and the more he spoke, the louder his voice became.

Even Cao Cao swallowed back the words he was about to say... Cao Cao's eyes were also fixed on Li Miao, and he seemed to be very interested in this madman attacking Zhang Zhao.

Li Miao's voice continued, "We, the Wei Dynasty, have involved the main force of Jingzhou. We have hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers and horses in Xiangfan. The Jiangling and Changsha defenders are only a thousand. The Guan family's army is only ten thousand? These few soldiers and horses not only block you. Soochow's tens of thousands of troops even counterattacked Jiangdong, leaving Soochow's life hanging by a thread and in danger... What does this mean? It means that Soochow is a rat, vulnerable to a single blow. Even with outnumbered enemies, you were defeated in such a situation. Such a situation. Allies? How can they be trusted? With such a weak army, what is the benefit of joining forces with the Wei Dynasty?"

"Let's talk about your diplomacy outside Soochow... Hahaha... Zhuge Jin, Wu Can... they were originally envoys sent by you from Soochow, but before they left Xuchang, they had already become ministers of Jingzhou. With so many people rebelling against their relatives, they collapsed at the first touch. It's no wonder that Soochow It is impossible to escape the destiny of the country! Now that the days have come, I, the Wei Dynasty, will unite with Jingzhou to raise an army to destroy your country of rats. This is in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people!"

"Since you are a flattering minister, you can only hide and shrink your head, just trying to get food and clothing. How dare you accuse the Wei Dynasty of raising an army before we go to the gate? You are a man with a bright head! Old thief with a gray beard! You will be accompanying Soochow in the near future. All of you are under the Nine Springs. How can you show off in front of my Lord? You, Zhang Zibu, have lived sixty-one years in vain. You have been entrusted by the late Lord with a heavy responsibility. However, you have not made any achievements in your life. You can only wave your lips and dance, and resist stubbornly. One piece is broken. The ridged dog still dares to bark in front of my lord! I have never seen such a shameless person——"

Li Miao is indeed a madman, and he is also a madman who has been in contact with Guan Lin for a long time.

Even the level of swearing has increased due to Guan Lin's "training".

These words made Zhang Zhao speechless and also made Cao Cao and Cheng Yu feel a happy feeling in their ears.

It is true that the situation has developed to this stage because of their unfavorable battle situation with Cao Wei, but Soochow's backstab failed and was attacked instead... This is even more fatal.

In fact... Cao Cao and Cheng Yu were still a little guilty for having no choice but to attack Soochow, but when Li Miao said this... all the guilt disappeared.

We attacked Soochow not because they were treacherous, but simply because Soochow was weak!

If you are weak, you deserve to be beaten——

"You...you..." Zhang Zhao was speechless for a moment. He could only point his finger at Li Miao, his facial features tightly knitted together, his face extremely bitter. "You...you...don't bully others too much..."

"It's not that I, Li Miao, bully others too much, it's simply because you Soochow are too weak and you have been content in a corner. I think... you have been content in peace for too long. Even if there is no Soochow in this world, the two strong powers are fighting for hegemony and the North and the South are confronting... we can't protect everything. , can even more awaken the blood and guts of my great Wei man——"

Li Miaoyue said that his mood became even higher.

Cao Cao stopped talking completely and just listened to Li Miao's words quietly and watched his performance.

"You...don't forget..." Zhang Zhao revealed his trump card, "Cao Pi, Cao Zihuan, the son of King Wei, is still in Soochow...you...are you not afraid?"

Threat, Zhang Zhao threatened Cao Wei with Cao Pi's life...

He came with a mission. He had to stop Cao Wei's advance. He had to buy enough time for Soochow...and Sun Quan, otherwise...Soochow would have difficulty escaping the fate of subjugation.

this time…

Before Li Miao could reply, Cao Cao spoke first. Instead of talking to Zhang Zhao, he asked Cheng Yu. "Over in Huainan, where did Wenyuan hit?"

The topic suddenly turned to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu thought for a moment and immediately replied: "The military report came back yesterday. General Wenyuan has dispatched the navy to march south to Ruxukou..."

"Ruxukou..." After hearing this place name, Cao Cao stood up slowly. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have conquered Ruxukou several times, but I have not won... So, Zhongde, tell Wen Yuan that within one month , I want him to seize Ruxukou. If he can do it, I will give him the title of County Marquis and reward him with three thousand food and huts——"

——"This... is such a heavy reward!" 』

Cheng Yu secretly thought to himself and quickly handed over his hands, "Yes...I'll do it right now -"

It seems that Cao Cao is responding to Zhang Zhao's threat with his tyranny...

It seems that Soochow wanted to use "Cao Pi" to threaten Cao Cao and change Wei's offensive route, so Cao Cao would never be able to pass this level alone.

"You...you..." Zhang Zhao's legs became a little weak after hearing this.

"What are you?" Li Miao's impolite voice chanted again, "Is it inevitable that Soochow will be destroyed? You can only bark here like an old dog... Haha, the current situation... is inevitable ! As for Young Master Zi Huan, huh, you dare to touch Young Master Zi Huan? If Sun Quan’s son dares to touch Young Master Zi Huan, then the day when Soochow is destroyed, it will be a bloodbath for the Sun family, and even more for the Sun family. On the day when the graves of ancestors of several generations were dug up... If Mr. Zihuan is still alive, that's all. If he is no longer there, then the lonely ghosts of his grandson family will be homeless forever and ever, in the land of soulless graves!"

Li Miao's words shocked Zhang Zhao again.

With a "pop" sound, Zhang Zhao's legs went weak, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

For a moment, he seemed to have felt what it meant that the storm was about to fall, and what it meant that the building was about to collapse... The development of the situation... no one can reverse it!

Then he...he Zhang Zhao? Where should we go from here?

On the other hand, because of Li Miao's words, Cao Cao admired this madman even more.

He thought to himself:

——"I never thought that Li Hannan would become one of the few bloody and courageous people in the Wei Dynasty!" 』

——"This Li Hannan is a madman, but he is also a righteous man!" 』

Thinking of this, Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Zhao again...

My thoughts once again led back to the Soochow battlefield.

——"Hmph, the rats of Soochow deserve this disaster. Let's destroy it. After it is destroyed, only the battlefield of real men will be left in this world!" 』

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes moved up, as if he had passed through the windows of this row of houses, passed through the mountains, crossed the rivers and lakes, and finally stopped on the other side of the Yangtze River.

At this moment, Cao Cao seemed to see Zhang Wenyuan on one side and Guan Yunchang on the other. They were displaying their passion in this land east of the Yangtze River...

There, that land of rats... is destined to become a hunting ground!

…

…

Xiangyang City, when Guan Lin returned here again after a long journey.

There are already many people...or to be precise, there are many messages waiting to be reported to him as soon as possible.

A handyman held the water cup, Guan Lin took a sip, then shook off the documents on the desk and quickly browsed, and at the same time loudly ordered: "I'm going to do something -"

The first person to make an announcement was Lu Yan, Lu Xun's son. "The surrender troops in Pinglu City have been collected. There are 4,322 people in total, including more than 1,000 auxiliary troops. My father doesn't know how to distribute them. I specially asked the child to come to Mr. Yun Qi for advice."

In this government office, Lu Xun is also...

In fact, normally speaking, since Pinglu City was besieged by the Lu Family Army, there was nothing wrong with Lu Xun accepting these surrendered troops into the Lu Family Army.

But as the leader of a clan who surrendered, Lu Xun had a keen sense of proportion. He had always been in charge of the original number of soldiers and horses of the Lu Family Army, and had never added one more person. This would also allow him to avoid a lot of unnecessary suspicion and trouble.

After all, although this is Jingzhou, and although it is under the command of Guan Lin,... in fact, even Guan Lin is under the command of Liu Bei. Lu Xun will still pay special attention to some sensitive topics, such as "military strength", and should not attract too much attention.

Guan Lin naturally knew what Lu Xun was thinking, and he directly ordered: "Give these more than 4,000 soldiers to Hao Zhao. This time he was stationed in Changsha and resisted tens of thousands of Wu troops with 2,000 soldiers. He made a great contribution. He is also one of the four soldiers in Jingzhou." I have been thinking about how to reward the son-in-law of the Xi family, a large family. These more than 4,000 soldiers are an unexpected surprise, but they also come at the right time..."

Hearing that these more than 4,000 soldiers had returned to Hao Zhao, Lu Xun had no objection, but just sighed: "This is the best!"

The next person to speak was Fu Shiren's deputy general, "General Fu has led his troops into Xudu City, and the people lined the streets to welcome him. Zhuge Jin and Wu Can, the envoys from Soochow, returned to surrender. General Fu asked the last general to bring a message to Master Yunqi. He has already followed the instructions. The young master ordered to post the list to calm the people, and made three agreements with the people. Qiu did not commit any crimes. In addition, he opened warehouses to release grain...the unowned acres were re-measured, and part of them was distributed to meritorious people according to merit, and part of it was returned to those occupied by Cao Wei. Farmers of the land! However, when doing this, Zhuge Jin and Wu Can assisted from the side and helped a lot..."

Actually... these are two happy events.

One is that the dust of Xu Capital City has settled, and the other is that under Zhuge Ke's diplomatic game, he not only won a complete victory in the diplomatic game with Soochow and Cao Wei in seconds, but even persuaded Soochow's envoys to surrender.

Guan Lin seemed very satisfied with this report and nodded slightly, "My eldest brother has done a good job, and with Zhuge Ziyu's help, it is expected that... the people's support and public opinion can be quickly established, no matter what... we We have to let the people know that we are completely different from Cao Wei, and my uncle is completely different from Cao Cao——"

Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Ling Tong...as well as Su Fei, Sun Jiao and other generals who surrendered to Soochow, all listened to Guan Lin's words and believed them deeply.

However, they paid more attention to the following report.

As for the reason, there is no other reason... This is an urgent report from Chai Sang.

And these people around Guan Lin are more or less inextricably entangled with Soochow...

They are more concerned about where the second general Guan Yu is now?

How is the battle going?

After many calls, the third person to report was Zhao Lei, who hurried back from the Guan Family Army on the front line.

When it was his turn to report, he immediately handed over, "Fourth Young Master, everything is going well with the Second General. Now Chaisang City has been completely recovered, and the naval warships have been dispatched to the Soochow Navy across the Lujiang River as soon as possible... Recently, the Second General also I met with Cao Wei General Zhang Liao and agreed on the attack plan. Everything is going according to the plan. Fourth Young Master, you can rest assured!"

undoubtedly…

Zhao Lei described the situation of the Lujiang War in an understatement.

But... the more he downplayed it, the more worried Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Su Fei, and Sun Jiao became. They looked at each other, and finally it was Lu Xun who raised the question.

"The Lujiang River is the last barrier of Soochow. Based on my understanding of Sun Quan, he will never give up. In addition... Based on my understanding of Soochow, the people here live in peace and are war-weary. Facing the enemy... as long as they defend Soochow Wu Territory, they will spare no effort and fight to the death...so..."

Apparently, what Lu Xun wanted to express was not to be too optimistic about this battle.

Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Liao join forces, this battle will definitely not be easy.

Looking back at Guan Lin, when faced with the doubts raised by the two men, Guan Lin replied without hesitation: "Actually, the battle in Lujiang is complex and simple, because... it only has one battle, and that is the first battle. If the first battle Great victory, the names of my father and Zhang Wenyuan scared the Wu people to death! The Wu people who live in peace and are war-weary, and the Wu people who have the heart to defend their territory will all be replaced by the fear of "little children stop crying". On the contrary, if the first battle is defeated, , It really gave Wu people confidence, but Lujiang was not easy to chew off..."

Listening to Guan Lin’s analysis…

Lu Xun quickly asked: "Yun Qi's words... I guess there is a way to break the situation?"

"Yes... a little bit..." Guan Lin didn't hide it, "Liao Hua is there. I think... he has already taken out the secret weapons I prepared for this battle in Jiangxia, right? This is a great gift. After my father and I Zhang Wenyuan's hand was given to Sun Quan, which was enough for Sun Quan to eat a pot..."

"I hope he won't be ignorant of praise!"

Guan Lin's words stopped abruptly. If he went deeper, it would involve secrets. Guan Lin didn't say anything, and Lu Xun and others wouldn't ask.

It's just... considering the previous repeated crossbows, sidecars, flying crossbows, and flying balls... it can be imagined that the gift Guan Lin gave to Soochow must be very heavy!

Of course, for Lu Xun, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Su Fei, and Sun Jiao...

As long as Sun Quan is beaten down, they are happy to hear it.

After talking about these business matters, the last person to do something was a... steward from Jiangling.

That's right, it's the steward of Guan Mansion.

Guan Lin was still surprised that a housekeeper could come to this government office to report.

But I heard the butler report: "Fourth Young Master, I shouldn't have appeared here, but...it's about Mrs. Hu's order, and I have to say it."

"My mother?" Guan Lin showed some surprise.

The housekeeper didn't hide it and said quickly: "Mrs. Hu calls the Fourth Young Master back to Jiangling!"

"Go back?" Guan Lin asked doubtfully.

"Yes... Mrs. Hu's attitude is very firm. It seems that since she lost her son Guan Xing, Mrs. Hu attaches great importance to the inheritance of her children. Therefore, she specially bought two houses for the young master to fill the house with maids..."

Uh... Following the butler's words, Guan Lin understood.

This is because his mother wants to fill the house with a maid to give him the "teaching liquid"!

Of course, "passing on teaching fluids" is not the point. The point is...under the general framework of "there are three unfilial piety and having no offspring is the greatest", Mrs. Hu wants to ensure that Guan Lin's function...there is no problem!

To put it simply, it is to ensure that he can give birth...

In this way, she can start taking care of his marriage and get her grandson as soon as possible... Mrs. Hu has been looking forward to her grandson all her life!

——"Oh, how pitiful the parents in the world really are! 』

Guan Lin sighed. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to do this kind of thing...but in these troubled times, how can he care about the love between his children and their love?

Isn't this nonsense? Doesn't this affect the speed at which he draws his sword?

Mom, this is pure nonsense!

"Ahem..."

When the sensitive topic of "having no heirs is important" was mentioned, Lu Xun and others coughed lightly and all left.

For a moment, only Guan Lin and the housekeeper were left in the main hall of the official office.

Guan Lin asked tentatively: "Is it okay if I don't go back?"

The housekeeper shook his head helplessly, "It doesn't seem possible. Madam Hu said that if the fourth young master doesn't come back, he will bring the maid who fills the house here. Even in the military camp, in full view of the public, he has to let the fourth young master handle what should be done. The matter is done..."

Well…

The topic became more and more high-level, and Guan Lin was also drunk... This matter was somewhat embarrassing.

…

…

Jiangdong, Ruxukou.

Zhang Liao was standing on the observation deck of a warship, overlooking the river in front of him, with a trace of contemplation on his face.

Suddenly, an enemy navy warship came out of Ruxukou and appeared in the distance. They approached silently... It seemed that, facing the invasion of the Wei navy, the Wu army at Ruxukou did not choose to huddle in the port. Instead, he chose to attack head-on.

"Well done..."

"Are you looking down on my great Wei Navy?"

Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he just muttered, and he immediately ordered, "Attack——"

For a time, the entire Wei army's warships turned in order to meet the enemy's challenge.

The crossbow archers on the warship quickly drew the bowstring, and arrows rained down on the enemy.

At the same time, the soldiers on the ship waved their swords and rushed towards the enemy ship bravely.

Warships collided with warships, causing huge waves and splashing water, and a fierce water battle officially began.

The Soochow navy was excellent in water warfare. As the Wei army's warships were too large, they adopted a surprise attack tactic. In an instant, "thousands of small boats appeared on the water like locusts"...

At the same time, those soldiers who were proficient in water properties also got into the water, destroyed the bottom of the warship, dug through the bottom of the ship, and caused the warship to roll into the water...

This was an invincible move for the Soochow Panyang Lake navy to fight against the Wei army's Xuanwu Chi navy.

What's more, those participating in the battle today are the navy troops that Zhou Yu trained at Panyang Lake in the past, and are commanded by his son Zhou Xun.

It's a pity that today's navy of the Wei Dynasty is no longer the vulnerable navy that was trained in the Xuanwu Pond in Yecheng in the past.

This navy team, which Zhang Liao had trained under Hefei City for several years, had been holding back and wanted to avenge the Red Cliff in the past.

"snort…"

Following Zhang Liao's cold snort, the command flag on the warship waved, and immediately...hundreds of Wei naval forces had already taken off their armor and jumped into the water one by one with daggers in hand...This was to fight the Soochow navy underwater.

Not long after... bright red blood gushed out from the river, as well as the dead and floating bodies...

These corpses belonged to Wei Jun and Wu Jun. It seemed that... the underwater fight between the two sides was extremely dangerous and cruel.

at the same time…

The flag next to Zhang Liao was waved again. This time, facing the attack of hundreds of small boats from Soochow, hundreds of small boats rushed out after the warships of the Wei Dynasty.

They rode the wind and waves and rushed towards each other's boats -

"Dong dong dong——"

The sound of war drums coming from the warships was loud, and the sun shone through the clouds on the river, making the waves sparkle like a silver ocean.

But this piece of silver was quickly soaked with blood...

Arrows were like rain, and due to the fire arrows, each warship turned into a fire ship, blazing fire on the water and filled with thick smoke.

This water battle... lasted for four hours.

It wasn't until...both sides lost more than 30% of their warships that they retreated in tacit agreement.

Zhang Liao stood on the bow of the ship and muttered: "Even after so many years of training, and with such a huge advantage in terms of strength and number of warships, there is still no way to destroy the Soochow navy in Ruxukou in one go. It's a pity... it's a pity..."

Gao Rou on the side was stroking his beard and also sighed: "In any case, it was the Soochow Panyang Lake navy that defeated the king with less in Chibi in the past... However, now the navy commanded by General Zhang has already Being able to fight against it is already something worth being happy about!”

Zhang Liao didn't take Gao Rou's words seriously. He shook his head and said, "If it were Yun Chang's navy, they would be able to capture Ruxukou today..."

Gao Rou seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were fixed, and then he said softly: "Didn't General Wenyuan not try his best? If Ruxukou is really captured...it would be boring!"

These words instantly brought Zhang Liao's mind back to the day when he was talking to Guan Yu.

yes…

In their plan, Ruxukou cannot be captured!

If we really want to capture it, the plan... will be messed up!

"Ha ha…"

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao finally swept away the haze of this "draw". He smiled and said: "Then it depends on Yun Chang. I don't know what surprises he will bring to Sun Quan!"

Gao Rou stroked his beard, "I heard... that the fourth master of the Guan family was originally the governor of Jiangxia, and Jiangxia had already sent the batch of gifts to the riverside. The gifts of this fourth master Guan have always been very cruel... I'm afraid it was his gift. It’s hard for Wu to bear it!”

Mentioning Guan Lin, mentioning the gift from Jiangxia...

Gao Rou and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and the topic came to an abrupt end.

Everything is planned.

At this time, the smoke of the water battle gradually dissipated, leaving only the wreckage floating on the river and the silent, sunken warship——

On the other hand...

The person responsible for garrisoning Ruxukou was Zhou Xun, a young general conferred by Sun Quan!

At this moment, he was standing in the port, looking at Zhang Liao's warship... He murmured: "Who said that Zhang Wenyuan only knew land warfare, but never imagined that he could be so powerful in water warfare."

"Fortunately..." Standing next to Zhou Xun were Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang, who had disguised themselves. They were also looking at Cao Wei's warship.

Sun Shao said: "Zhang Liao was able to prepare a small boat, and he also had naval soldiers who were familiar with water and fearless of life and death. This was something I didn't expect..."

Taishi Xiangze said: "In fact, it doesn't matter. What was consumed this time was only the original defenders of Ruxukou. The Zhou army did not suffer too many casualties... After this battle, the original defenders of Ruxukou were almost completely wiped out. Here It can be said that everything is controlled by the Zhou family army...the port can be opened at any time and the wolf can be lured into the house!"

Having said this, Tai Shixiang paused for a moment, and then said softly: "Actually...if the Zhou family's army comes together, Zhang Liao will not get the slightest benefit!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun quickly added: "How can Zhang Liao use all his strength? Everyone is just acting for people to watch..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, "If Zhang Liao is not allowed to gain the upper hand, how can the rat Sun Quan mobilize the navy of Lujiang City? If the navy does not mobilize, how can Lujiang destroy the city?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Xun loudly ordered, "Hurry and report to the Marquis of Wu. The Wei army is powerful. Zhang Liao and the Wei army have not been seen for three days, but they are suddenly familiar with water battles. Ruxukou's troops are out of strength. Our army is invincible and may be unsustainable." Please ask the Marquis of Wu to quickly send troops to support... Otherwise, if Ruxu loses his words, the Lujiang River will be in danger, and the east of the Yangtze River will be in danger——"

Zhou Xun shouted loudly...

And his mood was as passionate and surging as his tone.

It seems that he has realized that the day for him to avenge his father is not far away...

Similarly, Zhou Xun is not the only one who has this idea.

For Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang, their thoughts were exactly the same.

The day of revenge is one step closer!

…

…

Built Ye City and Dongwu Palace.

Sun Quan looked at the map with a frown. One arrow after another went down from Huainan, from Chaisang to the east.

With Zhang Liao on one side and Guan Yu on the other, Sun Quan always felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Huh...huh...

Heavy breathing sounds continued to come out of the mouth of the Soochow King. At this moment, he felt firsthand the gap between him and his father and brother.

It is difficult to conquer a country, but it is equally difficult to defend it...

There are not many people left in front of him who can be used.

In addition to Gu Yong, the patriarch of the Gu family, Zhang Wen, the patriarch of the Zhang family, Yu Fanwai, the patriarch of the Yu family...

The only ones left were Quan Cong who had escaped, Tian Yi who was good at using golden axes, Shanyue leader Xie Jing who wore a horn helmet, General Lu Dai of the State of Wu, and Lu Fan, an important minister of the State of Wu...

Although it is not said that there is no one available, compared with when Sun Quan first took over Jiangdong, with Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin in literature, and Gan Ning, Ling Tong, and Taishi Ci in military affairs, the current gold content has undoubtedly dropped a lot. .

The most critical problem is that whether they are rich people or military generals, the troops they can produce were all destroyed by Dong Xi's defeat in the previous battle where he overestimated his capabilities.

Even if these families still have soldiers, they are reluctant to use them anymore.

Life and death is at stake...

For Soochow and Sun Quan, it was already a critical moment of survival.

There was only a "bang" sound. Sun Quan angrily smashed a report on the ground. He opened his mouth angrily: "Zibu came back from the summons. Wei can't count on it. It is said that a tiger cannot eat poison." Son, but Cao Cao actually didn't care about his son Cao Pi's carefulness. Not only did he not let Zhang Liao retreat, but he even mentioned taking Ruxukou on the 30th! Damn it... Damn the thief Cao!"

When he was granted the title of King of Wei and Wu, Sun Quan was still calling him King of Wei and King of Wei.

Now that the situation has reversed, the "King of Wei" will naturally become a Cao thief!

"Huh...huh..."

Sun Quanyou gasped for breath, as if he was out of breath.

Gu Yong beside him couldn't help but open his mouth to analyze the situation: "Zhou Xun has sent back an urgent message. Zhang Liao led his troops to Ruxukou. After the first battle, the garrison originally stationed at Ruxukou was almost wiped out. Zhou's army also suffered Heavy damage... He fought hard to defend the port, but suffered heavy losses. It can be seen that Zhang Liao and the Wei army are no longer the Wei army who did not know how to fight on the water during the Red Cliffs..."

"Yes!" Zhang Wen also opened his mouth and said: "On one side, Guan Yu's troops are approaching the Lujiang River, and on the other side, Zhang Liao is attacking Ruxukou. If the Lujiang River is lost, then Guan Yu can attack Ruxukou on land. If Ruxukou is lost... Then the connection between Soochow and Lujiang will be completely severed... There is no room for loss in these two fortresses——"

Gu Yong continued: "Fortunately, Zhou Xun is stationed at Ruxukou... After he is Zhou Lang, he is also commanding the Panyang Lake navy trained by Zhou Lang. It is expected that the Wei army will not be able to break through Ruxukou in a while. , but... this Ruxukou is related to the connection between Lujiang River and Jiangdong, and from this Ruxukou, you can go directly along the river to Jiangdong... This port must be saved!"

Following the words of Gu Yong and Zhang Wen...

There was only a "bang" sound, and Sun Quan slapped the document with his palm, "There are only 10,000 people in Gu's hands. How do you ask Gu to save him? Can Jiangdong still be defended?"

"How about... my lord, allocate some more soldiers and horses to Zhou Xun." Yu Fan suggested, "More monkeys will give you three more points of strength. Even a little more can reduce the pressure on Ruxukou."

"No!" Gu Yong quickly retorted: "Jianye City, Wu County... and the ports here also need to be garrisoned. If all the army is sent abroad, it will only take a thousand dead soldiers to conquer Soochow..."

Facing Gu Yong's words, Yu Fan said loudly: "But if Ruxukou is lost? Are there ten thousand people? Can Jiangdong be defended? Now we are attacked on both sides. What we are left with is not two battles, but only two battles. A chance to fight, if you win...this morale will be shaken, if you lose, then..."

Yu Fan didn't say the last words, he couldn't bear to say them.

Seeing that the dispute continued, Lu Fan suggested: "Why? Can't we send an edict to mobilize the Lujiang fleet to rescue Ruxukou?
