Chapter 1,291 People Living in the Sun
Sun Quan stood there, looking a little embarrassed.
It's not that he has never met Zhao Yun, it can even be said that during the marriage, Zhao Yun's appearance was the turning point between him and Liu Bei.
At the beginning of the year, Zhao Fan, under Jiang Qin's instigation, chose to sneak attack Zhao Yun when Lu Meng was fighting with Liu Bei's army, causing Zhao Yun to be wounded and missing.
This is the beginning of everything.
If Zhao Yun had not been injured and disappeared, the relationship between Liu Beijun and the Jiangdong people would not have been so tense for a while.
Even in the early stages, it can be said that the game between the two parties was completely focused on Zhao Yun alone.
As long as Sun Quan sent people to find Zhao Yun's traces before Liu Bei, then the marriage would never have happened - Zhao Yun might have become a prisoner of the Jiangdong people by some strange combination of circumstances.
However... no one probably thought that the subsequent development of the matter would be so dramatic. No one found Zhao Yun, or in other words... the person who found Zhao Yun was neither Sun Quan nor Liu Bei.
Yi Xiaotian met Zhao Yun under such circumstances - which started the next story.
At that time, Zhao Yun probably had many opportunities to leave Yi Xiaotian as an excuse - and Yi Xiaotian also had many opportunities to leave aside Zhao Yun, a guy with a special status.
But at that time, both parties tacitly chose to go together, so...
"No regrets."
"But...as expected...the feeling of being kicked out is very painful..."
Zhao Yun said these words tiredly, and then his whole body seemed to have lost electricity, and he fell weakly towards Yi Xiaotian in front of him.
Yi Xiaotian was naturally unprepared. Zhao Yun's broad body and disparity in weight made it impossible for Yi Xiaotian to avoid him, so he could only hold on to save Zhao Yun who had fainted——
Boom... Zhao Yun, who had fainted, pushed Yi Xiaotian to the ground, causing the scene to become a bit chaotic for a while.
Yi Xiaotian groaned in pain... Who knows, he who had never been injured in the entire battle would be "sneak attacked" by Zhao Yun.
"Hurry... lift him up quickly, I... I can't breathe..."
Maybe everyone has never seen Yi Xiaotian's deflated appearance. Such an unreal scene made everyone freeze in place. It wasn't until Yi Xiaotian asked for help that everyone hurriedly moved Zhao Yun away.
——
Zhuge Liang ran away.
Without hesitation.
After this rest and reorganization, the army was no longer as disorganized as before.
There were also many lost soldiers who took advantage of this opportunity to follow the large army.
After all the calculations, Liu Bei's army still has more than 20,000 elite troops... So it seems that they are retreating, but it is obvious that without the chariots, if Jiangdong's army pursues rashly, it is possible that Zhuge Liang will attack them head-on.
Precisely because he knew this advantage of his own, Zhuge Liang issued the order to retreat even more resolutely.
"map!"
"Military advisor, here!"
During the retreat, Zhuge Liang called up the map and immediately began to study their next retreat route.
Pang Tong came back, and he immediately took effect as soon as he came back.
The two of them squeezed into the carriage and occupied the place where Liu Bei had been recovering from his injuries. Liu Bei had no objection. If they could evacuate safely, he would have no problem supporting the two guardians.
Pointing to the route on the map, Zhuge Liang began to tell Pang Tong about his previous arrangements.
"Shiyuan...you know the situation here in Poyang, and you decide the route."
"No problem...but you still have to tell me in detail about the current situation of the army. Where is our navy?"
Asked about the situation of the navy, Zhuge Liang shook his head:
"At least they failed to break through the enemy's blockade. I sent people to teach them to evacuate along the river. With the current strength of the Jiangdong Navy, they cannot stop them if they want to retreat."
"That's fine. If we join forces too early, we may be intercepted by the other side. If we take the Xindu route, we can meet at Chaisang. By then, even if they want to stop us, it will be too late."
"Well, that's fine. Just in case, I asked my lord to write a letter to Yunchang. We have taken over most of Jiangxia's territory before we come. At least the waterway from Chaisang upstream is guaranteed."
While the two were discussing, they began to figure out a certain trap that he had set up when Pang Tong was defeated.
"There can't be any mistakes next..."
Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice - he took out the letter that Pang Tong had sent all the way from his arms, pointed to a certain passage on it, looked into Pang Tong's eyes and asked:
"Are you sure you're sure?
If not, we would have caught nothing, and even if we went back, the situation would be even more dangerous than before."
Pang Tong was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about what to say.
Just when Zhuge Liang was worried and wanted to say something more, Pang Tong suddenly raised his hands in front of him——
"Ninety percent..."
Zhuge Liang was also shocked.
He didn't expect that Pang Tong was really sure of accomplishing that thing. No matter how he thought about it...
"Kong Ming, you are a person who lives under the sun. There are some things that you cannot do and are not suitable to do. Just leave them to me."
Pang Tong smiled. Although there were still wounds on his face, his mental state was no different from before.
As he said, Zhuge Liang and he have many things in common, but there are some things that he cannot do just because he is Zhuge Liang.
Seeing Pang Tong like this, Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, but soon...
"I see, then what else can I say besides trust?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and there was no need to say more about the tacit understanding between them.
——
On the other side, just as Zhuge Liang expected, the Jiangdong people did not pursue them immediately.
But the reason is not that he is worried about being killed by Zhuge Liang, but...
"Are you sure they've gone far?"
Yi Xiaotian asked Lu Meng and others in front of him:
"We have traveled nearly ten miles."
Lu Meng immediately responded to the news that the scouts had just reported.
"It's almost done. Let me inform everyone. Just follow the previous plan. If they insist on evacuating from Xindu, no matter what the cost, we will attack them head-on. At this time, don't restrain your sharpness. General Sun...please
You personally ask those guys who have been watching to contribute."
"but…"
Yi Xiaotian suddenly turned to look at Sun Quan and said to him with great sincerity.
Sun Quan looked embarrassed, mainly because he thought of the people mentioned in Yi Xiaotian's plan...
To put it bluntly, the reason why Jiangdong is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength is not just because their own internal conflicts have consumed a lot of financial, material and manpower. There are also many people who seem to be extremely disappointed with the situation in Jiangdong at that time and have chosen to temporarily retreat to the second line and wait.
The situation becomes clear again...
And now, is that moment.
"Don't lose your temper. I have spoken to some people on your behalf. Whether you can invite them out depends on your consciousness, General Sun."
Sun Quan's mind is now full of the stupid things he did back then, and he naturally knows who the people Yi Xiaotian is talking about are.
