Sun Ce went back and met many defeated Han troops along the way. When they saw Sun Ce, they all hid away, as if Sun Ce was an evil star.
Ling Cao and Xu Sheng pursued him all the way and killed many Han soldiers. When they saw Sun Ce, they came to see him one after another.
Sun Ce said: "Give me the order to withdraw all troops and return to the city. All prisoners of war will be taken away. Those who escaped will be left alone."
"Stop asking, convey the imperial edict to the ears of every soldier." Sun Ce walked forward very unhappy, and even if he met the enemy, he would not fight again.
The order was quickly conveyed, and the Wu army and the Han army who were fighting suddenly separated. Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce approaching and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is a good time to defeat the enemy army. Why did you suddenly give the order to stop?"
Fighting?"
Sun Ce said angrily: "Now these soldiers are already soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom. It is meaningless to continue fighting."
"But they are all pretending, why..."
"Gong Jin, Sima Yi is here, bringing Gao Fei's instructions and rescuing Zhuge Liang. If not for his appearance, Zhuge Liang would have been captured alive by me. Now, withdraw your troops!" Sun Ce said calmly.
Zhou Yu was filled with resentment, but he did not dare to disobey the imperial edict, and could only watch the continued expansion of the victory go to waste.
He said to Sun Ce: "Your Majesty! Sooner or later, I will give Huaxia a heavy blow!"
"I hope so." There was a glint in Sun Ce's eyes, but his heart was very bleak, and he thought secretly, "Ten years...give me another ten years, and after ten years, I will definitely be able to openly
Challenge the Kingdom of China. Father, if you have a soul in heaven, please protect me and the Kingdom of Wu..."
………………
At the end of the melee, the two armies separated. In this battle, Zhuge Liang's troops lost their troops and were captured by the Wu army. Thirty thousand people were captured, twenty thousand were killed, and forty thousand were injured. Only more than ten thousand people survived. It was a disastrous defeat.
Zhuge Liang looked at his men, his face was dull, and he made a mistake, but it paid such a heavy price. He suddenly thought of Zhao Kuo, who was talking about war on paper. With such an ending, he felt that he was very similar to Zhao Kuo.
This time, Zhuge Liang and others all surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom. Sima Yi came forward to negotiate with Sun Ce, allowing Zhuge Liang and others to recuperate outside Changsha City, while he led Niu Jin into Changsha City.
Although Wu Jun won this time, no one cheered. The reason was very simple. Originally, this group of people could be eliminated in one go, but the appearance of Sima Yi changed the entire battle situation, making this battle only have a beginning, but no end.
.
Therefore, the soldiers in the city all harbored a grudge against Sima Yi and glared at him, hating the Huaxia Kingdom in their hearts.
Under the reception of the soldiers, Sima Yi and Niu Jin came to the prefect's mansion. Sun Ce sat high on top, Zhou Yu was beside him, Ling Cao, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and other generals all hated Sima Yi.
At this time, Niu Jin's face was still injured. Samoko's punch was really too hard. Anyway, his face was swollen and bulging.
Sima Yi also had a slight scratch on his face, which was given by Zhuge Liang. Thinking about it made him feel angry, but later on, the two people were not acquainted without fighting. With just a look in their eyes, the two became friends.
"Sima Yi, the great general of China's Southern Campaign, is here to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" Sima Yi knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and shouted.
"Get up and speak!" Sun Ce said.
After Sima Yi stood up, he clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I am here to take prisoners. Please show your noble hand..."
"You still have the nerve to ask for prisoners? Those prisoners were captured by our army before they surrendered. They have nothing to do with your Huaxia Kingdom." Zhou Yu said loudly.
Sima Yi smiled and said: "This is the Governor of Wu State, Zhou Gongjin, right? He is indeed a talented person! However, I am talking to your Majesty. Your Majesty has not yet spoken. As a minister, you are just pointing and drawing in front of His Majesty. Isn't that too much?
Already?"
"You..." Zhou Yu was very angry. He didn't expect Sima Yi to be so cunning and specialize in his weak points.
In fact, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are brothers and sisters. They wear the same pair of trousers. Although Sun Ce is the emperor, the rights Sun Ce gives to Zhou Yu are enough to overthrow him as the emperor. This is a kind of trust and a kind of love. And Sun Ce
He also gave Zhou Yu the privilege of being able to carry weapons and come in and out at will even if he went to the palace. Sometimes, Sun Ce even let Zhou Yu make decisions, and everything was discussed with Zhou Yu.
However, this kind of privilege, when it came to Sima Yi's mouth, turned into a feeling that made people sound a little guilty.
Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu was in embarrassment and hurriedly helped him out: "I'm afraid General Sima doesn't know something. This is the privilege I gave to Zhou Aiqing. Sometimes, Zhou Aiqing's words are my imperial edict. May I ask, in your country of China, have you ever been able to
Do you enjoy such an honor?"
Sima Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I am just a young general, and I am not qualified to have such an honor. However, in our country of China, our emperor has the final say in everything. What others say can only be regarded as a reference.
aggregated to the Senate, the Privy Council, and then to the two
The prime ministers and lieutenants of the court report the unresolved matters to our emperor. The emperor is the most respected person, and no one is allowed to speak for the emperor. Otherwise, over time, the person who speaks for the emperor will be replaced.
, he will become the emperor invisibly..."
"Sima Yi! Who are you talking about?" Zhou Yu was angry and almost jumped up when he heard Sima Yi criticizing Sang and Huai.
"Captain Zhou, why are you so excited? I'm just talking about the facts and telling the truth about our country. Are you so excited? Is there something wrong with you?"
"You are the one who has evil intentions in your heart. I, Zhou Yu, have a clear conscience and am even more loyal to Your Majesty..."
"Loyalty cannot be said...how can it be achieved if you just talk it without practicing it?"
The two people spoke tit-for-tat and were incompatible with each other.
"That's enough!" Sun Ce suddenly shouted angrily, "Do you think I'm dead?"
After shouting one sentence, everyone knelt down. Sima Yi and Niu Jin still knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "We don't dare!"
"Sima Zhongda! It's very simple for you to get back prisoners. Each prisoner is worth ten gold coins. If you want prisoners, you can exchange them with money. These are the results of the bloody battles of our Wu soldiers. Our army's casualties are no better than those of the Han Dynasty."
Army Commander!"
"The foreign ministers cannot make the decision in this matter. The emperor only gave me the power to make arbitrary military decisions. Therefore, I need to ask the emperor for instructions." Sima Yi had already expected this. He already knew it from the moment he saw Wu Jun taking away the prisoners.
What he didn't expect was that Sun Ce wanted to use money to redeem him.
One person is worth ten gold coins, 30,000 people is worth 300,000 gold coins, this grandma is simply a lion's mouth. Do you know how long a golden Huaxia coin can be used in China? It is enough for one person to eat for a month.
, when he opened his mouth, ten coins came out, he was crazy, he was completely crazy and poor.
Sima Yi didn't change his expression and just answered slightly. But Niu Jin was different. When Sun Ce opened his mouth, he was so surprised that he burped.
"Also, our expedition this time successfully contained half of the Han army. Therefore, you, the Huaxia Kingdom, also want to show your sincerity and cede half of Jingzhou! You will convey this news to your emperor."
Sima Yi said "Promise" and thought to himself: "Sure enough, the lion is talking loudly, and Sun Ce's tone is not small, he actually dares to ask for half of Jingzhou?"
After coming out of Changsha City, Sima Yi did not delay and immediately sent someone to notify Gao Fei who was far away in Xiangyang.
At this time, his army was also on its way and joined forces with Zhuge Liang and others, so the battle in Jingnan was settled.
That night, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and others gathered in the tent and suddenly received a letter from Zhou Yu, saying it was for Zhuge Liang.
After Zhuge Liang opened it and read it, his face changed color at first, and then he tore the letter to pieces and said angrily: "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! The child of Zhou Yu bullied me too much!"
Sima Yi asked: "Brother Zhuge, what made you so angry?"
So Zhuge Liang told Sima Yi about the bet he made with Zhou Yu before the battle.
After hearing this, Sima Yi first laughed, and then said to Zhuge Liang: "What are you going to do, dear brother?"
"Cold!" Zhuge Liang was furious.
"My dear brother, if you are willing to bet, you have to admit defeat. Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch back then, so what does it matter if a man dressed up as a woman? I think, my dear brother, he still puts on women's clothes and walks in front of the two armies.
Just one lap..."
"You dare to ridicule me?"
"It's not ridicule, it's just that you are too young and arrogant, and you are too self-righteous. This incident will just make you remember. Zhou Yu became famous very early. He has been leading troops in battles for a long time. He is already very familiar with military affairs. You and I are nothing.
He is a rising star, if true
Be careful, Zhou Yu will suffer from Zhou Yu sooner or later. Today in the prefect's mansion, he deliberately acted so fiercely. In fact, with his resourcefulness, it is impossible for him to behave like this. I think he is planning some evil scheme again. We must stay
Watch him here."
After Zhuge Liang heard this, he felt that what Sima Yi said was somewhat reasonable. He suffered a loss because of his lack of experience, and his arrangement of soldiers and generals was not neat.
"That's it, let's go all out. A man should be able to bend and stretch, so what does it mean to wear women's clothes?" Zhuge Liang said after thinking for a long time.
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Just wait. Sooner or later there will be a big battle between you and Zhou Yu. That time is when you will really compete."
"What about you?" Zhuge Liang glanced at Sima Yi, as if his path had been arranged by Sima Yi.
"Me? My opponent is in the northwest, Xu Shu will be my first target..." When Sima Yi said this, he seemed very calm, and his deep eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
