Chapter 490
Since the beginning of this year, as the relationship with Liu Jing has become increasingly tense, a war seems inevitable. In order to prevent Liu Jing from attacking Jiangdong, Sun Quan built a large number of beacon towers along the south bank of the Yangtze River to ensure that he can grasp the frontline military situation in the first place.

Therefore, although Wu Jun was thousands of miles away, Sun Quan relied on the beacon tower, and received the news that Liu Jing led his troops to invade that night.

In the middle of the night, the mansion of the general seeking captives was brightly lit, dozens of civil and military personnel from Jiangdong gathered together, most of the civil officials were worried about Liu Jing's attack, while the generals were all gearing up.

Liu Jing Nan Xiao Zhang Jin, overthrowing Liu Biao in the north, sweeping Jing and Jiaozhou, is of course famous and powerful in southern Xinjiang.But they also dominate Jiangdong, have no rivals, and are not afraid of Liu Jing in their hearts. In the end, who is strong and who is weak is not based on bragging, you have to fight to know.

Sun Quan was dressed in military uniform and saber, and sat high on the throne. He had neither the worry of a civil official nor the excitement of a general, and his expression was extremely calm.

As soon as a powerful enemy came, the people of Jiangdong were shaken. As a monarch, Sun Quan must not show panic in front of outsiders. He must be calm and calm to reassure everyone.

Second, Yuzhang and Luling counties alone have no fewer than 2 troops. Some time ago, Sun Quan successively added [-] troops to Yuzhang. .

Right now, Yuzhang and Luling counties have as many as [-] troops, and they may not be able to fight Liu Jing, Jing and Chu's army, but they are more than enough to defend themselves.

Have a bottom line in your heart, naturally don't panic.

"Bang!" Sun Quan took off the sword at his waist, slapped it heavily on the memorial table in front of him, and sneered at Liu Jing, "Liu Jing is worthy of being born in the market, and he has learned all the habits of profiteers and profiteers. If he hadn't had my Jiangdong's help, how could he have seized the land of Jiang and Han? Now that he has Jingzhou, he immediately turned against his allies and tried to seize Jiangdong. How despicable and shameless this is! And this kind of person is known for benevolence and righteousness. It makes the world laugh! From this we can see that the world's false reputation is not credible."

As soon as Sun Quan spoke, all the officials in Jiangdong, especially the generals, cursed Liu Jing.

Zhou Yu also echoed: "I think Liu Jing is benevolent and righteous on the outside, but treacherous on the inside. Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, the old master of Liu Jing, promoted Liu Jing from the humble, but Liu Jing was ungrateful and killed his son and took him away. Foundation."

Liu Jing seldom falls into the shoes of others, so Zhou Yu can only use hearsay rumors to explain things.However, Zhang Yi was only under house arrest by Liu Jing. After Liu Jing ruled Jingzhou, he was soon released and thrown to the south of Jiaozhou Cangwu County as the county magistrate. The so-called killing is completely nonsense.

Zhou Yu said again: "Liu Jing is ambitious and uses violence to occupy Jing and Jiao. If you think that I, Jiangdong, can be insulted like Jing and Jiao, then you are very wrong. Separated from Jiangdong, the area is thousands of miles away, the soldiers are well-equipped, and the heroes are happy. Liu Jing thinks he has a strong army and invades Jiangdong, but he is self-defeating. Yu is willing to send the elite soldiers to break the siege of Yuzhang."

"Haha...excellent, Gongjin!" Sun Quan clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Gongjin has both civil and military skills, and Jiangdong is second to none. With Gongjin leading an army to defend Liu Jing in the west, why worry about being alone?"

Since last year's expedition to the west of Jiangxia, the lesson of the chaos in the rear was too profound, Sun Quan naturally gave up the idea of ​​​​conquering himself, so as not to leave before his own backyard caught fire.

Looking at the entire Jiangdong, the only generals who have the ability to stand alone are Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Lu Fan, Xu Kun, and Sun Yu.

In view of the fact that Cong brothers Sun Ben and Sun Fu are both in Yuzhang and have heavy troops in their hands, it is not appropriate to be nepotism when choosing a leading general, so cousin Xu Kun and Cong brother Sun Yu were first excluded.

Lu Fan has enough qualifications, but he is a bit reluctant to be a general. This battle is about Jiangdong's life and death. Sun Quan did not dare to take risks easily, so he was also ruled out.

After thinking about it, only Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu are the most suitable. Now that Zhou Yu volunteered to invite Ying, it is exactly what Sun Quan wanted.

Sun Quan stroked Zhou Yu's back and asked, "In Gongjin's opinion, how many soldiers and horses are needed to defeat Liu Jing?"

Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and replied: "Last year Liu Jing raised all Jingnan's troops to attack Liu Biao in the north, with only [-] to [-] strides, and now they are joining the north and south of Jingzhou, and the strength of the troops should be double that of before. Liu Jing has been coveting Jiangdong for a long time, and he is determined to win. There must be no less than five or sixty thousand soldiers, the Chu soldiers are brave and skilled in both water and foot combat, and at least thirty thousand strong soldiers are needed to defeat them with confidence."

"..."

When Sun Quan heard this, the hand stroking his back couldn't help but froze.Of course, it is impossible for him to satisfy Zhou Yu's request. The elite he can mobilize now is only about [-] yuan, all of which are given to Zhou Yu. Will he be alone?

Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "Although Liu Jing is our great enemy in Jiangdong, Shanyue must also be guarded against. Last year when the army went on an expedition, the four counties of Yuzhang, Luling, Danyang, and Kuaiji all rebelled. How can we not take it as a warning? Wudi It is necessary to keep heavy troops to deter unruly people."

Seeing Zhou Yu opening his mouth to speak, Sun Quan raised his hand to stop him, and said, "Yuzhang and Luling counties have [-] soldiers. I intend to use Gong Jin and Cheng Gong as the left and right governors, each with [-] people, to attack Liu Jing The matter of Yuzhang is determined by Gongjin, and the generals in Yuzhang also obey Gongjin's orders."

"No." Zhou Yu didn't haggle with Sun Quan any more, and happily accepted the order.

He asked Sun Quan for [-] soldiers before, but it was just a lion's mouth, and his real intention was only one, and that was to force Sun Quan to make concessions and get the command of the front line.

Otherwise, Cheng Pu is old and powerful, Tai Shi is famous for his kindness, and Sun Ben and Sun Fu are famous in Jiangdong with the heart of their clan.

Two days later, Sun Quan saw Zhou Yu and the soldiers of the three armies off in the northern suburbs of Wu County. Before sending troops, Sun Quan held a grand oath-taking ceremony, which was not only to strengthen the momentum, but also to reassure the people.The effect is surprisingly good, and the people of Wu County are safe.

After the swearing-in, Sun Quan did not return, but took Jiangdong Wenwu to send another ten miles away. Before parting, Sun Quan held Zhou Yu's hand and said, "Gong Jin, if the battle is not going well, you don't have to fight to the death. You can retreat temporarily. Danyang, at that time, I will personally lead the army, join Gongjin, and then fight Liu Jing!"

"With the general behind me, I can deal with the enemy with peace of mind..." Zhou Yu said vigorously.After that, he bid farewell to Sun Quan and Jiangdong Bailiao, led Lu Su, Lu Fan, Chen Wu, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, Song Qian and other tribes, with more than [-] soldiers, and went north to Danyang Stone City to join Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others.

Coupled with Sun Ben, Sun Fu, Tai Shici, Xu Sheng, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang and other generals who are in Yuzhang, Jiangdong can be said to have all the famous generals this time.Success or failure depends on one action. If you win, you can protect Jiangdong and even enter Jingchu. If you lose, the consequences will be disastrous.
