Chapter 3277 Old Injury
"Can't conquer!"
"No! No!"
『Retreat, retreat…』
All kinds of frustrated screams rang out in chaos around.
The chaotic Jiangdong Army retreated like the sea water of ebbing tide.
These Jiangdong Army were obviously not elite soldiers, but some old soldiers, and they seemed to be quite large, but in fact they were not very good at fighting power. Even the forts in Jingzhou could not conquer them. When they advanced, they rushed forward and ignored them when they retreated. Even if the commanders shouted loudly and even cut down several people, they still couldn't stand it. They were impulsive and could only retreat with them.
The weapons are also very poor. Some people simply hold a wooden stick and fork, which is more like the Yellow Turban thief of that year.
But these people are Jiangdong Army!
The only one who took the route of elite soldiers in the entire Han Dynasty was Fei Qian.
Then Cao Cao learned halfway.
Most of Cao Cao's central leadership and central guards were elite, at least moving closer to the elite.
Among the Jiangdong Army, there are half and half.
Only the general's troops and private soldiers can be called elite soldiers, while most of the others are ordinary soldiers and many vassals. They only give a flag, a few swords and guns, and a few armor, and they are even part of the Jiangdong Army.
Jiangling City was destroyed, but Nanjun is not only Jiangling City.
There are many docks around, especially those of the Kuai family. This kind of docks can be seen in some areas in later generations. For example, in areas with more bandits, many modern docks have been preserved.
Although this kind of earth-stone structure is not as deep as Jiangling City, it seems to be stronger than Jiangling City. On the stone walls of the fort, there are densely packed people, all of whom are of the same clan, so there will be no complaints or refusals who can do more or do less. Just now, these miscellaneous Jiangdong Army attempted to attack the fort, and the defenders on the fort resisted unanimously, knocking down seven or eight crude wooden ladders, killing many Jiangdong miscellaneous brands.
In the trench below the dock, many miscellaneous soldiers with breathtaking breath were still screaming, moaning, and squirming.
Neither inside or outside the fortress seemed to treat these people as human beings.
On the hillside far away from the fort, Zhou Tai looked at everything in front of him with expressionless face.
Without Zhu Zhi's support, Zhou Tai could not withstand Xu Huang's attack and could only retreat from the front line.
So in the Jiangdong Army, the eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother. Everyone was defeated generals and had nothing to say. They immediately started the production self-rescue work tacitly.
Jiangling City was defeated by Zhu Zhi and Zhu's troops. Zhou Tai wanted to get some benefits and of course he could not compete with Zhu Zhi, and he was not qualified to compete with Zhu Zhi, so he naturally set his sights on these surrounding rural wilderness forts.
If you pry open a turtle shell, you will have two taels of meat, right?
These miscellaneous Jiangdong soldiers were actually ordinary people arrested by Zhou Tai from the surrounding area. Just like the Yellow Turban thieves who were used by the Yellow Turban thieves, they were familiar with this.
People can do anything to live.
Young and strong, old and young, women and children.
Even if there are dead people in front of you, these people will fill their food in their mouths without changing their faces for a bite of food.
Whether it is the bait used by Zhou Tai to attack the fortress or the excuse, it is to eat it in one bite. If there is food, it cannot be beaten, and everyone will starve to death. Anyway, the people used to attack the fortress are the people and miscellaneous soldiers. No matter how many deaths, Zhou Tai will not frown.
The owner of the fort was not without asking for love, but also tried to use a small amount of money and food to get Zhou Tai to leave, but where is it possible?
At this moment, even after repelling several attacks from the Jiangdong Army, there were still many people surrounding the fortress. In the distance, Zhou Tai led his troops to press the formation. It was simply no way to go to heaven and hopeless to enter the ground.
Even the dock owner couldn't help but shout on the stone wall, "Why?! Why did you come to beat us?! We didn't do anything that hurts the world! Why should we treat us like this?!"
The Dock Fortress was screaming there, and the voice was filled with despair.
For Zhou Tai and others in the distance, they were actually not excited at the moment, and they were even a little desperate like the fortress owner. However, Zhou Tai could still pass on the despair to others, and the fortress owner had nowhere to pass on.
Jiangdong was defeated!
Even if Zhou Tai conquered the fort, he could not change the fact that Jiangdong was defeated.
Even a Sichuan-Shu army could not defeat, which completely shattered the dream of Jiangdong fighting to dominate the world.
So, Zhou Tai quickly entered Zhu Zhi's footsteps and began to plan his own interests.
If you try every means to seek benefits, but if you don’t do it externally, you can only do it internally.
When an enterprise cannot obtain profits from the outside, the next step is to enter the stage of reducing staff and increasing efficiency. When the enterprise starts to take strict attendance and deducts money and fines employees at any time, it is often to seek benefits from employees' teeth and deduct employees' belly, and on the other hand, it is to try to use this method to force employees to voluntarily resign.
Zhu Zhi is said that even a small merit like Zongzi is putting on his face now, which shows how difficult it is to get some results now!
As an employee of Jiangdong Sun Company, it is somewhat difficult to change jobs now, so what you can do now is to crazily absorb your own benefits when the company cannot increase external benefits, because they all know that Jiangdong has no future.
Standing around Zhou Tai, everyone followed Zhou Tai's troops and private soldiers.
"Master, these useless stuff are really bad! Niang Xipi! Even such a small fort can't be defeated after three or four times!" One of the team muttered dissatisfied.
Zhou Tai obviously didn't even think about it on the fort.
For him, it is naturally good to be able to build a dock fort, but what is more important is how he wants to maintain his current status!
Zhou Tai is not from a good background. Although his surname is Zhou, he and Zhou Yu have no relationship with him.
Maybe it was a family eight hundred years ago, but now...
Zhou Yu is a noble son, Zhou Tai is One Piece... Cough cough, the little pirate leader.
Like Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and both were born into thieves.
"General..." The group saw that Zhou Tai was in a bad mood, and he couldn't help but feel the voice fell, "What should we do next?"
Zhou Tai looked around and found that his troops were filled with worry, and whispered: "How long do you think that Captain Jiang and Lu Zhengjun can resist the Sichuan and Shu army now?"
Zhou Tai's troops thought for a moment, "Don't Governor Zhu send troops to reinforce?"
『Hmph.』 Zhou Tai curled his lips, 『When we resisted the Sichuan and Shu army, did General Zhu send reinforcements?』
Now, within the Jiangdong Army, everyone only considers themselves, what cooperation, what tacit understanding, what team spirit, and what corporate culture are, just shouting verbally.
Sign language, singing and dancing, dancing every day, and stabbing the knife behind the back every day.
"Lu joins the army... Humph, those guys didn't want to fight this battle..." Zhou Tai whispered, "Now, just as they meant! What we need to consider now is how to protect ourselves and not be impeached by the lord... Cough cough, well, not be impeached by those Jiangdong gentry families..."
"Ah? Lord..." The lord subconsciously wanted to interfere, but closed his mouth in Zhou Tai's warning eyes.
Zhou Tai sighed, "Jiangdong... is no longer the Jiangdong of the past..."
The Sun family is not the Sun family he used to be back then.
Heroic spirit will eventually be consumed.
Zhou Tai was silent for a moment, and then ordered loudly: "Send the order to let these damn cowards attack the fort day and night! Tell them that if you can't catch the fort in this wilderness, you just wait to starve to death! Open the fort and you can still make a big fuss! If you want to survive, you have to fight for it yourself!"
Zhou Tai's troops responded, and then they dispersed, loudly encouraging the morale of these miscellaneous troops. They kicked and beat the crowd, and even killed a few unwilling ones, urging these messy miscellaneous cards to list the team and headed towards the fort.
Although Zhou Tai also understood that the character of the Jiangdong people was the strongest fight in the nest, he was just a general who had just crawled out of the mud. What qualifications did he have to reverse all this in Jiangdong?
In this situation, it is said that only Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin can turn the world around and save Jiang Qing!
Zhou Tai did not expect that in addition to Gan Ning, there was also Xu Huang, the Sichuan Army. In addition to the sharp weapons of the Sichuan Army, those...
Zhou Tai couldn't help but touch the wound on his body.
He can't remember how many times he has suffered, and it seems that the old injuries have not healed and the new injuries have increased.
I remember someone asked him, does it hurt if there are so many injuries on his body?
Zhou Tai remembered that he was just laughing at that time, and then said that for the sake of his lord's great cause, what's the harm in getting more hurt, so he attracted a lot of praise...
Actually, how could the three ghosts of the ball and the three ghosts not hurt?!
But what can Zhou Tai do?
Although his surname is Zhou, he can only rely on himself.
"You mother! I can't beat the fort today, I'll kill you in one ten times!" Zhou Tai suddenly pulled out the battle knife and waved it in the air, "A group of waste! The waste should die! Go and die!"
Zhou Tai spitted out, his face showing ferociousness.
If you can't defeat the Cavalry Army, can't you even be able to defeat a rural dock fort?
As the saying goes, thieves don’t leave their empty words…
Well, cough cough, as the saying goes, military affairs are important tools of the country and should not be easily started.
Now that Jiangdong has come out like this, of course there is no reason to go back empty-handedly!
Even if it is a mosquito's legs and a flies' belly, it will take some oil and water. Otherwise, how could he raise his own troops and recruit more private soldiers? Isn't the injuries he suffered in vain?
...
...
Jiangdong.
Wujun.
Sun Quan's hands were shaking and his heart was bleeding.
The table was filled with war reports sent from the front line.
The top one is sent by Zhu Zhi.
After receiving the battle report, Sun Quan had been in this room for a long time.
The room was quiet and the servants dared not come forward.
The last unlucky person who accidentally made a move was executed by a spy who had spyed secretly.
Sun Quan gritted his teeth and picked up the top battle report again.
『……The traitors were rebels from Sichuan to the east along the river. They ordered Jiang and Lu to lock up the Yi Road across the road and did not allow the traitors to come to the east. According to the Lu Army, the traitors were rampant and the river was unfavorable. If there were no reinforcements to make up for it quickly, there might be danger of losing again. So they sent the people of Nanjun to make up for the shortage and provide rescue. The army was not fully stocked, so they begged the lord to allocate the food to support Nanjun and resist the traitors' army.
"The bandits in Nanjun were defeated again and won many victories. There were many sects in Nanjun. Before Liu Jingsheng was settled, he occupied the countryside and colluded with Cao's army. Therefore, he ordered the former general Zhou to lead soldiers to attack the bandit's nest and kill hundreds of thieves. The bandits retreated to the fortress. Zhou led their troops to attack the bandits' nests and killed hundreds of thieves. Zhou led their leaders and advanced to kill more than ten thieves and more than three hundred thieves. Nowadays, sects attacked the camp of Nanjun. I immediately detached the team to fight. Kill dozens of thieves. The remaining thieves flew four times..."
『…』
While Sun Quan looked, his face became more and more purple.
very nice!
It's so great!
It is not good to march into Sichuan and Sichuan. It is easy to pass by, but it will be described in such a vivid way in Jiangling. It is as if Jiangdong’s original plan was not to march into Sichuan and Sichuan, but to attack Jiangling!
Killing hundreds of thieves is worth reporting that he won the battle!
However, the failure to fight against the Sichuan and Shu army was attributed to "no reinforcements to make up for it quickly" and "the army's food was not enough to provide for the supply of food"!
What is the key?
The key is that this thing can be placed openly on Sun Quan’s desk!
It was like making a ball of chocolate-flavored shit or a ball of shit-flavored chocolate. It was placed in front of Sun Quan and asked Sun Quan to accept it happily and enjoy it happily!
Can you not be so shameless?
Sun Quan had to hold the table hard to control himself and not overturn the table!
The Jiangdong Army, which he had worked so hard to piece together, is now for this? To eliminate those damn thieves? Then should he be happy about this and say that Governor Zhu is doing well?
Damn it!
All deserve to die!
Although I also know that the Jiangdong Army, which is known as 300,000 yuan, will be considered a real force with a discount of half, then 80% off, and then 80% off!
But what do you get?
In the later period, Sun Quan also found a way to replenish the "soldiers" three times to go to the front line. In total, the total force was at least more than 100,000!
Even if there is some gap between the soldiers who were supplemented in the later stage and the first batch, those people are not completely useless!
Besides, even if it is not useful, it also requires swords, spears, armor, arrows, crossbows, warships, flags, clothing, food, grass, pickles, and all these are money!
What's the result?
That's the result?!
Sun Quan was almost out of his anger.
The land of Jiangdong in the Han Dynasty was not as good as that of Jizhou and Yuzhou. It was already quite difficult to raise 100,000 soldiers.
Of course, Sun Quan did not understand the victory or defeat of military strategists, but the question is that this war is a major battle for Jiangdong to dominate the world. If he cannot conquer Sichuan and Shu, then Jiangdong will not be able to divide the world in any way. He can only be passively beaten until his destruction!
After two generations of Sun family expansion, the Jiangdong forces have gradually shown some decline. To the east is the sea, to the north is Lao Cao, and to the south is Nanyue. The only chance is to break through the west, connect Sichuan and Shu and Jiangdong into a line, and divide the world in two. In this way, Jiangdong will have more opportunities. Whether it is to digest the gentry and gentry within itself, or to form a subordinate to the South Vietnamese, it requires considerable financial resources and time. Now...
If I had known this, I would have asked Zhou Gongjin to go...
When Sun Quan thought of this, he was stunned.
I hurriedly picked up the battle report sent by Zhu Zhi on the table and read it carefully.
『Hundreds of losses...』
"More than a thousand casualties..."
"Um……"
Sun Quan thought about it and then pondered.
He was so angry that he ignored some details.
Now this calculation seems to be just a defeat, and not many soldiers have been damaged!
In this way...
Sun Quan pondered again.
If the situation is very dangerous, then Sun Quan would let Zhou Yu lead the troops and save the crisis without saying a word, but what if the situation is not as bad as imagined?
What kind of person is Sun Quan?
Many people in later generations despise Sun Quan, but in fact, even if Sun Quan did not mention military affairs, he was still first-class in politics and diplomacy.
Sun Quan not only relied on and trusted Zhou Yu, but also felt a little afraid of Sun Yu. Zhou Yu seemed to feel Sun Quan's fear. This fear also increased with Sun Quan's age, and then dissipated with Zhou Yu's death.
Sun Quan still remembers that when Sun Ce died, although Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao pushed him to the throne of the Lord of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu came with his soldiers at that time!
Zhou Yu was born in a grand family. His grandfather Zhou Jing and cousin Zhou Zhong both served as the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His father Zhou Yi also served as the Luoyang Order, so the Zhou Yu family was completely a family of officials and was very powerful. When he grew up in this environment, Zhou Yu was not only tall and handsome, but also quite talented.
It can be said that Zhou Yu is indeed in line with the image of "feather fan and luster, and the masts and oars are gone while chatting and laughing", but Sun Quan is not...
Although Sun Quan's appearance in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is quite inhumane, in fact, Sun Quan's appearance can only be considered an ordinary person, and he is just a broad-minded person. When he really stands next to Zhou Yu, Sun Quan can't raise his head.
And the most important point is that Sun Quan still remembers nightmares sometimes when he has nightmares...
That year, "Ce died, Quan governed the affairs. Yu led his troops to the funeral, so he stayed in Wu, and the Central Guard Army and Chief Zhang Zhao were in charge of the affairs of the people"!
Zhou Yu once explained that he came with his soldiers just in case, but a thorn fell in his heart!
You should know that if Zhou Yu had a skewed thought at that time...
And Sun Quan felt that Zhou Yu was not suspected of "leading troops to fight for power" at that time?
Zhou Yu is not a member of the Sun family. Even if he has a good relationship with Sun Ce, he is still a foreign minister. As a foreign minister, what does it mean to lead troops into Wu? This is like Dong Zhuo led troops into Luoyang back then!
As soon as Sun Ce died, Zhou Yu brought his troops to the scene, saying that he was here to attend the funeral, but what if it wasn't?
Who can guarantee that Zhou Yu had no other thoughts at that time?
Sun Quan could not be sure.
I'm not sure either.
