Three days.
The Han army that attacked Wuchang only gave Sun Quan three days, and there was no room for negotiation. Whether he chose to fight to the death and die together, or declare the official demise of Soochow, it all depended on Sun Quan, the great emperor of Soochow.
In terms of national strength, Soochow is completely unable to compare with the Han Dynasty.
In terms of military strength, the Han Dynasty only counted the four states that benefited Yongliang and Liang. The total number of infantry, cavalry and water arms is close to 600,000. However, Soochow's controlled system still relies on clans. Soochow only has two arms: land and water.
Before the war between Han and Wu, there were only more than 200,000.
Now that the battle has been going on, although the Han army has suffered a lot of losses, it is nothing compared to Soochow. The total strength of Soochow in the whole country is only a few hundred thousand.
And they are all arranged in key locations.
Finally, the most deadly thing is that the Han army has advanced weapons that are ahead of its time.
It seems that Sun Quan has no other choice.
Even if he chooses to resist desperately, the final result will not change. The Soochow Kingdom is already difficult to change.
However, Sun Quan was unable to make this decision.
In the next three days, he stayed in the imperial study, never going to the court in front, and never favoring a concubine he loved deeply.
When the Yellow Turban Uprising began at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Jiangdong foundation established by his father and brother through hard work for three generations only lasted a few decades, but now it was about to die at his hands. Of course, he was unwilling to do so.
I think back then, when he took over this inheritance from his brother Sun Ce, Jiangdong was so beautiful. There were virtuous officials like Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, etc.; there were good military generals like Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Huang Gai, and Taishi Ci.
Wait.
However, only a few decades have passed, and now Soochow has already established an independent country, but there are only a handful of civil servants and good generals who can be of great use.
During the Battle of Chibi, when faced with a dilemma, you can also use your brother's last words: ask Zhang Zhao if you are not sure about domestic affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you are not sure about foreign affairs.
Now, the Han army is approaching the capital Wuchang, and Wu is at a critical moment of subjugation.
However, there was no one to give him advice or solve his problems.
Sad.
Alas.
...
Three days later.
In AD 252, the thirteenth year of Wu Chiwu's reign, it was early morning on September 6th.
Today is a special day.
Because starting from today, Da Wu will officially withdraw from the stage of history. After three days of difficult choices, Sun Quan made his decision.
Surrender the city——
On June 18, 229 AD, Sun Quan, King of Wu, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Wuchang. On September 6, 252 AD, Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Soochow, decided to formally surrender to the Han army because he did not want the soldiers and people of Wuchang City to suffer another military disaster.
Counting from the time Sun Quan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Kingdom of Wu, which had been in existence for 23 years, finally completed its historical mission.
It’s the beginning of time.
The north gate of Wuchang slowly opened. Three hundred steps outside the city, Liu Tan, King of Qin of the Han Dynasty, was in high spirits at the moment, and his silver-white armor was particularly dazzling.
Liu Tan looked up at the sky.
He said sincerely: "Your grandson Liu Tan, I would like to inform the late emperor that your grandson Liu Tan will fulfill your long-cherished wish today. Soochow will surrender today."
In the 24th year of Jian'an, the late Emperor Liu Bei worshiped General Guan Yu as the former general to control the military affairs of Jingzhou. In the same year, the former general Guan Yu surrounded Fancheng with his troops, flooding seven armies and shocking China. At this time, Soochow broke the alliance and sent Lu Meng in white clothes to cross the river.
, made a surprise attack on Jingzhou, and finally allowed Guan Yu to defeat Maicheng, and was later captured and killed by the Wu army.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (AD 220), Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian to abdicate the throne and established the Wei regime. In the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, the late emperor Liu Bei ascended the throne south of Wudan Mountain in Chengdu and became the emperor.
.
In the first year of Zhangwu (AD 221), the late emperor decided to send troops to attack Wu in order to avenge the killing of former general Guan Yu by Soochow. Just before sending the troops, the chariot general Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinate Fan Qiang and Zhang Da. These two thieves became more
He cut off Zhang Fei's head and surrendered to Soochow.
Although Soochow soon sent envoys to Chengdu to seek peace, the late emperor was furious and refused, and then personally led an army to the east to conquer Wu.
In the autumn of the second year of Zhangwu (AD 222), Wu general Lu Xun burned the entire camp. The late emperor suffered a disastrous defeat and retreated to Baidi City. He died of illness in Yong'an Palace in Baidi City the following year.
As the eldest son of the Han Emperor, he certainly keeps these historical facts in mind.
Thirty years.
Thirty years.
It was really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Thirty years ago, the Han Dynasty invaded Wu and the late emperor was defeated by Lu Xun of Dongwu. Thirty years later, as Liu Bei's eldest grandson, he completed the unfinished business of his grandfather this time.<
/p>
Destroy Soochow.
Boom, boom, boom.
Three crisp drum beats pulled Liu Tan back from his thoughts. The city gate of Wuchang had been opened, and the Wu army at the head of the city had also put down their weapons.
The original Dongwu flags on the city head have now been replaced by white flags fluttering in the wind.
In the city gate, hundreds of people were slowly walking out. The leader was an old man wearing plain clothes and a white silk ribbon hanging around his neck. He was holding an exquisite wooden plate in his hand.
Behind the old man, there was a carriage, with a brand-new coffin parked on the carriage.
Sun Zhongmou!
Liu Tan naturally knew that this old man was Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty who conquered the world with the late emperor.
Different from Liu Tan's pride, Sun Quan, who was leading the Dongwu officials on foot out of the city at this time, had his brows furrowed and no expression on his face.
Da Wu, gone.
Da Wu, gone.
Sun Quan was ashamed of his trust in his father and brother, and lost the country that his father and brother had built through hardships.
Although he was very reluctant.
However, he could not reverse the situation of Wu's demise.
Three days ago, the Han army shelled the northern city of Wuchang, causing panic among the soldiers and civilians in Wuchang. Late at night the next day, an emergency report came from the third line in the south.
Just when Liu Tan was bombarding Wuchang, the three Han armies in the south launched a fierce attack on the Wu army at the same time.
Originally, the three Wu armies in the southern border were outnumbered, and the three Han armies were all equipped with infantry and cavalry. They suddenly attacked the three Wu armies. Although the Wu army soldiers resisted tenaciously, they still suffered a devastating blow from the Han army.
General Zhuge Ke, who was attacking Jian'an County, had been defeated by Han general Ma Dai and was leading his remaining troops to retreat to Wuchang.
Zhu Ju, the general of the left who was guarding Luling County, was shot dead by the Han army's three-bow crossbow, and Luling City was captured by the Han general Guansuo.
The last route was to contain the hussar general Ding Feng of the Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang in Lingling. In the past few months, Zhuge Liang had launched dozens of attacks, but failed each time and finally retreated to Lingling City.
But this time, Zhuge Liang divided his troops into three groups to attack Ding Feng. Ding Feng fought hard day and night and was eventually defeated and captured.
Originally, we thought that a three-pronged army would block the three Han armies in the south. Now that Wuchang has more than 70,000 troops, it may be possible to resist Liu Tan's Han army for a while.
But now.
All three armies in the south were defeated. General Zhuge Ke retreated, General Zuo was killed on the spot, and General Ding Feng was defeated and captured.
In this way, even if Wuchang's 70,000 soldiers and horses continue to defend Wuchang, within ten days, the three Han armies from the south will gather in Wuchang City, plus Liu Tan's terrifying rocket launchers.
After making a difficult decision, Sun Quan knew that if he continued to resist, he would only let Wuchang City bleed into a river of blood and suffer heavy casualties among soldiers and civilians.
Surrender——
Surrendering is only humiliating for me, but the army and people of Wu will be preserved.
