In mid-March, the Shu army divided into two groups and set off from Lujiang County and Yuzhang County respectively to attack the Wu army.
The Shu army passed by like a violent tornado, quickly sweeping across the counties.
The situation completely turned towards the Shu army.
Not only that, news of the Shu army's siege of the city and the number of Wu soldiers killed and captured came out every day in the Wu Kingdom. Everything stimulated the nerves of the people of the Wu Kingdom.
The overwhelming propaganda made the people of Wu panic.
Sun Quan succeeded to the throne of King Wu and has been committed to stabilizing the situation in Wu. However, when the Shu army came to kill him, Sun Quan realized that everything he had done was in vain.
Under the fierce attack of the Shu army, Sun Quan's stabilized situation was like a paper city wall, which would fall down as soon as he pushed it. Sun Quan sat in the palace, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. Because every day, every hour, there would be a Shu army.
After the great victory, news came back that the Wu army had surrendered. The backlog of news made it difficult for Sun Quan to breathe.
"Someone is coming!"
After the soldiers heard this and walked in, Sun Quan ordered: "Invite Zhuge Liang to come and see you."
Not long after, Zhuge Liang came to the palace and bowed to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan asked: "Kong Ming, how are you doing with the things you prepared?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "Reporting to King Wu, all the children of the Sun family from six to ten years old have been gathered together. They live with the concubines of the King of Han. Guan Ping and Zhang Bao will lead the troops to protect them. There will be no problem."
Sun Quan nodded and said: "Things must be kept secret and must not be leaked. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
Zhuge Liang smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, King Wu, Liang can still accomplish this little thing."
Sun Quan asked: "Kong Ming, Lu Su, Zhu Zhi, Lu Fan and others have all become prisoners. The Wu army of 100,000 people has been wiped out, but the Shu army still has more than 300,000 people. The more we fight, the more people we fight. What do you have?"
view?"
Zhuge Liang asked: "Does the King of Wu know what Jia Xu did to the captured Wu soldiers?"
Sun Quan shook his head and said: "The news has not been sent back, so I don't know yet."
Zhuge Liang said slowly: "When the Wu and Shu armies fought in Jiujiang, the Shu army captured at least 60,000 to 70,000 Wu soldiers. Later, they captured more than 100,000 soldiers in Nanchang County, which exceeded 150,000 people. If Jia Xu
Carrying these soldiers together will face tremendous pressure and consume countless amounts of food and grass."
"However, after Jia Xu led the army to leave Nanchang County, he released captured soldiers along the way, and released soldiers from Yuzhang County and Jiujiang County to reduce the pressure on the army."
"Soldiers of the Wu army were recruited from all over the country. After these prisoners were released, they returned to their hometowns and had relatives at home to control them. They were no longer the Wu army of the past and no longer threatened the Shu army."
"Jia Xu easily solved the burden of the Shu army and came with great momentum. This will be the strongest force to destroy the Wu Kingdom and will be difficult to resist." Zhuge Liang said with a heavy tone: "The Shu army has become overwhelming and cannot be stopped.
.”
Sun Quan clenched his fists and said: "If you can't stop it, you have to resist it."
After a pause, Sun Quan ordered: "The strategy of resisting step by step will not work, and the consuming the power of the Shu army you mentioned will not work, and has lost its effect. I decided to take back the soldiers from the counties and counties along the way and send the soldiers of Wu State back."
All the power is concentrated in Wu County for the final counterattack, what do you think?"
Zhuge Liang said: "It all depends on King Wu's decision."
Sun Quan said: "Go and send an order for the soldiers from all counties to return."
"promise!"
Zhuge Liang answered with clasped fists, turned and left the hall.
After Zhuge Liang left, a middle-aged man in his late forties walked out of the passage beside the hall. This man's appearance was similar to that of Sun Jian, but his temperament was completely different. He did not have Sun Jian's rough and heroic temperament, but had a bookish air.
, more elegant. This person's name is Sun Jing, he is Sun Jian's younger brother and Sun Quan's uncle.
Previously, Sun Jing was leading troops outside to guard one side. Sun Quan sent an order to recall Sun Jing back to Wu County.
Sun Jing said: "After Zhuge Liang arrived in Wu County, he still hasn't recognized his master. I'm afraid he has evil intentions!"
Sun Quan shook his head and said: "As long as I am still here, Zhuge Liang will not be able to make waves."
Sun Jing changed the topic and continued: "Liu Bei's concubine was pregnant for ten months. According to the family, she gave birth to a baby girl. Liu Bei has no heir."
Sun Quan laughed loudly and said happily: "This matter is already known, just give birth to a baby girl. In this way, Guan Ping and Zhang Bao have lost their loyal objects, and Zhuge Liang will be my favorite sooner or later. Uncle
, you heard what Zhuge Liang and I were talking about, and you also know the content. Although the state of Wu was defeated, the Sun family cannot be destroyed, and preparations must be made in advance."
Sun Jing bowed and said: "Please give the order to King Wu."
Sun Quan called Sun Jing to him and whispered something in a low voice.
…
When the people in the counties of Wu State were panicking, the army led by Wang Can marched in and easily captured Danyang County. Originally, Wang Can thought that it would take a lot of effort to capture Danyang County, but he didn't expect that there would be no other people inside the solid walls of Danyang County.
There were no ordinary people, not even a single Wu soldier, and all the forces had been withdrawn.
In this way, Wang Can easily took over Danyang County.
In less than five days, all the county magistrates of Danyang County submitted their orders and became part of Wang Can's rule.
Next, Wang Can pointed his sword at Wu County and approached Sun Quan's lair.
The same thing happened to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu led more than 300,000 Shu troops and prepared to attack Luling County and Kuaiji County. However, when Jia Xu led his army into Luling County, he captured a city that was not guarded by Wu troops without spending a single soldier.
The city and Luling County fell, and the surrounding counties immediately surrendered. This situation continued to Kuaiji County without any changes.
Jia Xu did not relax his vigilance, but paid more attention to grain logistics.
The army hurried on and approached Wu Commandery.
After entering Wu County, Wang Can and Jia Xu joined forces and rushed towards Wu County.
At this time, another situation occurred in Wujun. There were no people anywhere, and no food was left behind. They were all bare, with ten rooms and ten empty houses, and no one inhabited.
Seeing this situation, Wang Can knew that Sun Quan had held all the people hostage.
Its purpose must be for the next decisive battle.
…
Wu County, outside the county town.
Outside the gate of Dongcheng, there are two large camps. The two large camps are extremely vast and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. In the camps, large tents are close together, densely packed and dotted. In each tent, there are
There were noisy sounds, including crying, shouting, and roaring, all of which seemed very helpless.
These sounds were made by the people of Wu County.
Sun Quan gave up the resistance of Danyang County, Luling County and Kuaiji County, took all the troops of Wu State back to Wu County, and took all the people of Wu County into custody and imprisoned them in camps, waiting for Wang Can's army to arrive.
These people were prepared by Sun Quan for Wang Can.
Wu County, on the city tower.
Sun Quan wore a nine-pointed crown, neatly dressed and extremely serious. He looked at Zhuge Liang beside him and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, how will Wang Can treat these people?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Liang has no way of guessing."
Sun Quan said: "If I were you, I don't know what to do?"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, a smile flashed across his lips, which seemed to be ridicule, but also seemed to be sarcasm. Sun Quan caught a glimpse of the expression flashing across the corner of Zhuge Liang's lips, and laughed and said: "More than 300,000 Shu troops are coming to attack, how spectacular it is! Wu Guo wants to
He died, but I am more looking forward to what Wang Can will do next? If he killed hundreds of thousands of people outside the city, it would not be unfair to lose to him."
Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched slightly, and he kept sighing in his heart.
Liu Bei was defeated and killed. He once flooded Xiangyang in anger. To this day, Zhuge Liang often dreams about the scene. When he wakes up, he is covered in cold sweat and blames himself very much.
However, the eighteen-year-old King Wu in front of him spoke calmly and calmly.
