Sun Ce was forced to retreat and suffered a loss in Shouchun. He was very angry and temporarily retreated fifty miles, set up camp and fought again another day.
In the Chinese army's tent, Sun Ce said to Lu Fan, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai: "I originally planned to sneak attack the Huaxia Kingdom first and burn the flames of war to the Huaxia Kingdom. I never thought that Gao Lin would take the lead.
Captured Shouchun City in advance and blocked the
In the past two days, first Zu Mao and his son were killed, then Han Dang's life and death were uncertain, and then Zhu Zhi... Our country of Wu has suffered disasters one after another. Is it true that God does not care about us?
Is it Wu country?"
Lu Fandao: "Your Majesty, Gao Lin has Guo Jia as his adviser, and he also has the support of Chen Yuanlong. Chen Yuanlong has won the hearts of the people in Jiujiang. If Gong Jin is not invited to help in the battle, it will be really difficult to deal with him. It's a pity that Gong Jin
…”
As soon as Zhou Yu was mentioned, Sun Ce's face showed a burst of sadness, he sighed heavily and said nothing.
At this time, the scouts sent out came back. As soon as they entered the big tent, they immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have found out clearly that no reinforcements have arrived in Shouchun City, but Chen Deng used them."
Suspicious tactics."
"What?" After hearing this, Sun Ce was surprised. He didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to spot such a trick.
Lu Fan's face was also burning at this time, because he was the one commanding the battle and the one who ordered the withdrawal. Under the circumstances, the formation really seemed like reinforcements from China had arrived, with thousands of horses galloping
His aura made him mistakenly believe that there were 100,000 people. He hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Sun Ce and said: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I am blinded by the enemy and mistakenly thought that I was from the Huaxia Kingdom.
Reinforcements have arrived..."
Sun Ce waved his hands, not intending to punish Lu Fan, then sat down again and said calmly: "You are right. At that time, I also mistakenly thought that the reinforcements from China had arrived... Everyone is tired, so go down early.
Rest, tomorrow afternoon, we will attack Shouchun City again. This time, we must capture Shouchun City."
"I obey the order!"
After everyone left, Zhou Yu's figure appeared in Sun Ce's mind, and he said to himself: "Gong Jin, can I really not do anything if I leave you?"
………………
At the same time, Hukou Town in Pengze County was in a state of mourning. At the confluence of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, lights were brightly lit on both sides of the east and west banks, making the night look like day.
In Hukou Town, Chen Wu guarded a dangerous place. After crossing the river, he set fire to the pontoon bridge and held on without fighting. He firmly blocked Li Dian, Le Jin, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Lu Meng and others in the river.
The other side.
A few days ago, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Lu Meng led their troops to Hukou Town. They wanted to use the fact that Chen Wu didn't know that the three people had surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom to make an article. After entering Hukou Town, they immediately launched an attack.
, gave Chen Wu a surprise. But who would have thought that Chen Wu did not see the three of them at all. After crossing the river, he set fire to the pontoon bridge, and cursed Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Lu Meng for betraying themselves and seeking glory.
Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Lu Meng tried to re-erect a pontoon bridge, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Chen Wu's men halfway through the erection. When Li Dian and Le Jin arrived later, they were unable to do anything, so they and Xu Sheng, Ding Feng,
Lu Meng and others were blocked here, waiting for General Huya Zhang Liao to lead the navy to defeat the enemy.
During the few days of waiting, Wu State's reinforcements also gradually arrived in Pengze County. The new governor Lu Xun even placed heavy troops in Hukou Town, and personally came to Hukou Town to take command, which was separated from the Central Plains.
The river faces each other.
In the main camp of the Huaxia Kingdom, Zhuge Liang came here late at night. After dealing with the affairs of Lu Su, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang and other prisoners, he rushed here. Lu Su, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang
Zhang and other Wu officers and soldiers, including captains and above, all followed Gao Fei's wishes and sent people to escort them to the imperial capital Luoyang. The soldiers who surrendered were collected on the spot, and the soldiers who did not surrender were temporarily detained until the surrender was completed.
Of.
After Zhuge Liang settled the matter, he left Huo Jun to guard Xunyang City. He took several of his personal followers to the place where Li Dian, Yue Jin, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and Lu Meng were blocked.
In the big tent, Zhuge Liang, who had been named the Marquis of Qichun, was sitting at the top. After asking about the battle situation here, Zhuge Liang frowned and said to everyone: "Wu Guo wants to increase its troops in Hukou Town.
This has completely prevented our army from continuing to advance on land. However, I would like to know who Lu Xun is?"
Xu Sheng replied: "Lu Xun, also known as Boyan, is the son-in-law of Wu Lord Sun Ce. He has been serving as the Prince Consort. He is just a Confucian scholar. There is nothing special about him."
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Although Sun Ce is brave and foolhardy, he still has talent after all. If Lu Xun has no talent, why would Sun Ce appoint Lu Xun as the leader at this time?
Dadudu. The position of Dadudu is in the state of Wu.
With high authority and a national crisis, Sun Ce would not be so confused. Among the famous generals and ministers of Wu listed by the Intelligence Department, there is really no information about this person. If you can't know yourself and the enemy, you can't win every battle. It seems that if you want to break through
Hukou requires both water and land development."
Li Diandao: "What the military advisor is saying is that the general has led the navy from Chaisang and will arrive tomorrow. The Wu navy has been completely defeated and the water force is weak. It is no match for our army. As soon as the general's army arrives,
We will definitely be able to capture Hukou Town."
"What I'm worried about is not the power on the water, but the power on land. Judging from what you have said in the past few days, Lu Xun has been insisting on not fighting and building fortifications in Hukou Town. Even if the general's navy arrives,
Having controlled the hegemony on the water, he can
We will transport them to the other side, but to defeat the Wu army, we still have to do it on land. Lu Xun built barriers everywhere and defended them layer by layer. This is a long-term plan for the war of resistance. I am afraid that the number of troops our army will lose will increase day by day." Zhuge Liang was worried.
said.
Lu Meng said: "The military advisor is extremely worried. I think that although Hukou Town is heavily guarded, it is not impossible to break through."
After Zhuge Liang heard this, he said "Oh", a flash of light burst out in his eyes, and said to Lu Meng: "General Lu, please continue."
Lu Meng said: "The State of Wu is heavily guarding the town of Hukou in order to prevent our army from advancing eastward. However, this will cause uneven distribution of troops within the State of Wu, and the forces in other places will inevitably be weak. The State of Wu is defending at Hukou.
Our army does not necessarily have to make a breakthrough at Hukou. We can send a partial army to bypass Hukou, pass through Shangrao, attack Kuaiji County, and then attack Wu.
The rear of the country, and incited Shanyue in Wu to rebel, detoured from the side, and then directly attacked the capital of Wu via Wu County. As long as the capital of Wu was surrounded, the heavy troops from Hukou would definitely return to reinforce the division, and then the military advisor would command the army.
Chasing from behind will definitely have unexpected effects, and within two months, Wu will be able to surrender!"
After Zhuge Liang heard what Lu Meng said, he couldn't help but be startled and asked sternly: "How brave! You actually peeked at the military's strategic deployment map?"
The second monk Lu Meng was confused. Seeing Zhuge Liang sternly questioning him, he looked even more confused, but he still knelt on the ground and clarified: "Military advisor, Lu Meng doesn't know what the military's strategic deployment plan is, but what I just said is
Everything is what you think in your heart, please advise your military advisor!"
Zhuge Liang thought about it. Only the cabinet members knew the military's strategic deployment map, and this strategic deployment map was also very confidential. After the cabinet members read it, in order to prevent leaks, they burned it.
It was impossible to know that Lü Meng had recently joined the army and had never had any contact with any cabinet members except him, so how could he know the existence of this strategic deployment map.
He knew he had lost his composure, so he calmed down a little and said to Lu Meng, "Get up."
After Lu Meng stood up, he glanced at Zhuge Liang and saw that Zhuge Liang was also looking at him. Their eyes met. For a brief moment, he did not dare to look directly at Zhuge Liang. However, he had a clear conscience, so there was no doubt in his eyes.
.
Zhuge Liang thought to himself: "This man is indeed an outstanding talent. The military's strategic deployment plan is the result of the concerted efforts of all cabinets. He actually revealed the mystery in one sentence..."
After thinking for a long time, Zhuge Liang said: "Well, your suggestion is very good, and I thought of it together. However, the duty given to us by the emperor is to attract Wu's troops here. As for the roundabout outflanking from the rear, it is no longer a matter of
That’s what our group army has done. Let’s rest today, and when the general arrives tomorrow, we will start attacking Hukou Town.”
"promise!"
Early the next morning, Zhang Liao led an army of land and water to the camp where Zhuge Liang and others were. Hundreds of thousands of Huaxia's troops gathered here with overwhelming momentum. However, Zhang Liao did not take any action. Instead, he let the soldiers rest first and waited another day.
war.
At the same time, in the Wu army camp fifty miles south of Shouchun City, Sun Ce got up early in the morning. He almost stayed up all night last night. Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhou Tai, Han Dang and others were all captured. Now what can Wu do?
How long it will last is unknown to him.
He opened the roller blinds of the big tent, and the early morning sunlight shone on him, making him feel a warmth. His eyes were red, his eye sockets were sunken, and his face had lost its usual vitality. After the battle last night,
He suddenly felt a little tired. Without Zhou Yu, he might really lose this war.
With a heavy sigh, Sun Ce turned around and walked into the tent. After taking less than three steps, he heard a very familiar voice coming from behind: "Your Majesty..."
When he heard this voice, Sun Ce was ecstatic and turned around quickly. Sure enough, he saw the most familiar face, a man wearing ordinary people's clothes and covered in mud standing there. Even so, he still couldn't hide it.
With the heroic look on his face, he hurriedly ran outside and hugged the man tightly in his arms. Tears fell unconsciously and he said slowly: "Gong Jin, am I not dreaming?"
