In fact, Zhang Zhao's advice to Sun Quan cannot be said to be bad, but it is definitely not very good either.

As a monarch, going to the battlefield in person can indeed boost morale to a certain extent, but it also requires dividing people.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji, and later the Ming Dynasty God of War Zhu Qizhen and Daizong Zhu Qiyu are good proofs.

As an emperor, Zhu Di swept across Mobei and was the only emperor in history who enshrined the wolf in Xu.

His grandson Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was also able to mount his horse to gallop on the battlefield and dismount his horse to govern the country and bring peace to the people.

The Battle of Kuanhe brought about more than ten years of peace on the border of the Ming Dynasty. The feared Mongols in the past no longer became the life and death enemies of the Ming Dynasty, but became a border trouble.

Some people may say that border troubles are also very troublesome. How can we say that Xuanzong is great at this point?

You must know that even during the Zhu Di period, the Mongols were already very powerful in combat. Although the Ming Dynasty did not admit it, in fact, Mongolia at that time was still an empire, capable of destroying the Ming Dynasty.

But the Battle of Kuanhe directly interrupted the Mongolian revival and turned them from an empire into a nomadic tribe. Doesn't this also reflect Xuanzong's ability?

As for Daizong Zhu Qiyu, when the Mongols were approaching the city, he still dared to pick up weapons and go into battle to kill the enemy. This also shows that Daizong was not a coward.

Although he cannot be compared with Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji or Chengzu Zhu Di, he at least still has the courage to take up arms and fight for the country.

As for the Ming Dynasty God of War, let’s not talk about that.

In fact, it is not difficult to see here. A monarch who leads a personal expedition does not say whether he can command an army, but he must at least have the courage to take up arms.

But it is a pity that Sun Quan is not such a monarch. Among his achievements, the most famous one is the Battle of Hefei, where one hundred thousand versus eight hundred, and then he was beaten until he ran away with his head covered.

Zhang Zhao asked Sun Quan to personally go into battle and command the entire army, which can be said to be a method of death.

This is not because there is something wrong with Zhang Zhao's method, but because Sun Quan himself is incompetent.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao also suggested that Sun Quan remove Ling Tong's right to lead the army and let his eldest son Zhang Cheng succeed Ling Tong as the powerful commander of the army, with Bu Zhi as deputy commander.

As for Ling Tong, he was worried that if he continued to stay in the army, it would affect the morale of the front line, so he was ordered by Sun Quan to return to Jianye.

In the winter of the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan led 10,000 troops, set out from Jian'an, came to Zhang Cheng's army, and ordered Zhang Cheng to attack Sun Ce.

Since then, the most dramatic scene of the Han Dynasty has appeared.

Less than twenty miles out of the camp, Zhang Cheng encountered elite Shanyue soldiers led by Sun Ce.

When Zhang Cheng was halfway through his march, they suddenly rushed out from the dense forests on both sides of the road, catching Zhang Cheng off guard.

The entire team was intercepted by the Shanyue people led by Sun Ce. Huge rolling logs and boulders divided Zhang Cheng's 50,000-strong army into seven or eight parts.

Then, those Shanyue people who had been lying in wait for a long time grabbed the vines, slid down from the tops of the mountains on both sides, and began to attack the Jiangdong soldiers who dared to resist.

Sun Ce also placed some sharp archers on the top of the mountain, who were responsible for shooting the officers who commanded the soldiers in Jiangdong.

】

Once these soldiers and generals who dared to resist died, Sun Ce showed up and recruited Jiangdong soldiers to surrender.

In order to recruit these soldiers better and faster, Sun Ce specially asked people to display his banner, and he himself also put on his own armor.

You know, in order to save face for his younger brother Sun Quan, Sun Ce had never used his own banner before.

No matter it was a siege or something else, Sun Ce always dressed up as a Shanyue man. It can be said that Sun Ce was also trying his best to help Sun Quan cover up.

But Sun Ce's good intentions were treated like a donkey when it came to Sun Quan. He replaced Ling Tong and replaced him with Zhang Zhao's son, which showed that Sun Quan no longer wanted peace talks.

Since peace talks are not possible, Sun Ce cannot just retreat. Otherwise, not only himself, but also the Shanyue people, and the group of veteran generals who followed him to conquer the world will all suffer at the hands of Sun Quan.

In order to handle this matter faster and with less loss, Sun Ce decided to reveal his identity and quickly disintegrate Sun Quan's effective strength.

When his own captain was shot dead and the soldiers who led the resistance were killed, Sun Ce's appearance became the straw that broke the camel's back.

As a result, these Jiangdong soldiers began to surrender to Sun Ce.

While Sun Ce accepted the surrender of these soldiers, he quickly screened them.

Because, before Zhang Cheng attacked, Sun Quan ordered all the relatives of a group of veteran generals to be taken to the military camp to serve as hostages.

This includes Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and their relatives.

The purpose was to threaten Sun Ce.

Faced with such a situation, even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu found it difficult to handle.

However, there is not no chance, because a large part of the people escorted are women, and their movement speed is not fast.

In order to defeat his brother Sun Ce earlier, Sun Quan had some disconnect with the team responsible for escorting him.

In fact, the distance between them is not that big. Even ordinary infantry only need half a day to reunite.

After all, the distance between Jianye and Sun Quan's camp was not far to begin with.

It can be said that the opportunity is fleeting, and in front of it, there is Zhang Cheng's 50,000 army.

In the eyes of Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan, even Lu Bu couldn't do this.

However, Sun Ce really did this.

He didn't even have an hour to accept the surrender after launching the attack. Sun Ce quickly gathered 5,000 elite Jiangdong soldiers, and cooperated with 3,000 elite Shanyue soldiers, bypassing Sun Quan's camp and headed towards the responsible party.

The escorting team launched an attack.

At this time, Sun Quan had just received the news that Zhang Cheng was defeated and captured. Zhang Zhao on the side reminded Sun Quan to be careful about Sun Ce's approach and kidnapped his family members. Only then did Sun Quan take pictures of the Jiefan camp to pick up the escort team.

But when they arrived at the place, the people had been kidnapped by Sun Ce, leaving only the remains of the prison car on the ground.

When Sun Quan knew that his biggest trump card was lost, he became a little panicked.

He felt that at this time, his neck felt a little cold, and his head wanted to run away from home.

At this time, the soldiers came to report that the whereabouts of Sun Ce's army had been discovered thirty miles outside the camp, and they were expected to arrive outside the camp in two hours at most.

Sun Quan was so frightened by this news that he fell to the ground.

With Zhang Zhao's encouragement, Sun Quan mustered up the courage, put on his armor, and prepared for a decisive battle with Sun Ce.

Because Sun Quan knew that even if he wanted to escape at this time, there would be nowhere to run.
