Chapter 573 Soochow
In addition to Jinling, Liu Yu and Sun Quan are the most concerned about the Huai army's movements.

Liu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang had somewhat similar ideas. They both wanted to join forces with the Jiangdong Sun family to deal with the powerful Huai army first, and then they, the Jiangnan princes, would compete with each other based on their skills.

It's just that Liu Yu just ended the battle with the Ming army, suffered heavy losses, was powerless, and was unable to send troops for the time being.

You must know that before Liu Yu came, Liu Song's soldiers and horses when Liu Yilong was in power were already in a very dangerous situation. If Liu Lao hadn't been invited to come in time, coupled with the support of the Huai army's food and materials, Liu Song would have been unable to support it. Living.

Wait until Liu Yu comes.

The combat effectiveness of Liu Song's army rose sharply, but the losses in the early stage were too great, and the strength of the middle and high-level generals in the army was not good, and they were often at a disadvantage in confrontation with the Ming army.

If it means that the army has lost nearly [-] soldiers and horses and needs to recover some vitality, then the number of soldiers and horses lost by Liu Song is two or three times that of the Ming army.

Moreover, the rule is chaotic, bandits and water bandits frequently cause chaos, if not for Liu Yu's strength and Liu Muzhi's guidance, Liu Song would have collapsed a long time ago, and the most important thing for them now is to sort out internal affairs and reorganize the army.

Jinling can still send troops abroad, but Liu Song has reached the limit.

can only say.

The time when the Huai army crossed the south of the Yangtze River was well chosen, so that the Ming army and the Liu Song princes had no spare time to intervene. In a short period of time, they only needed to deal with the Sun family of the Eastern Wu.

The boundary of Changzhou, Gaoqiao.

The banners are fluttering in the wind, the camp is dense, and groups of soldiers are patrolling along the camp.

There was also the neighing of men and horses in the camp, as if the cavalry were training. There was a small river flowing southward on the south side of the camp, and many soldiers were fetching water by the river.

At this moment, the camp gate of the big camp opened, and a messenger galloping on a horse appeared from time to time, constantly running towards the big tent.

Many soldiers in the barracks couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts when they saw it.

Inside the tent.

While stroking the Gudian knife, the legendary family heirloom, Sun Jian listened to the messenger's continuous report on the situation of the Huai army.

On both sides of the big tent stood Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, Han Dang, four generals, and Sun Jing and Sun Ben, who were outstanding among the Sun's children.

And Zhu Zhi, who was used by Sun Jian as the master book and military adviser.

The Sun family has many civil and military generals, and Sun Jian, the head of the family, wants to mobilize ninth-level powerhouses like Gu Yong and Tai Shici, but it is just a matter of one sentence.

But Sun Jian fought on the battlefield all the year round, and he has long been used to cooperating with the four great generals and Zhu Zhi who have been following him all the time.

Tai Shici and Sun Ce cherish each other, and Gan Ning is a general promoted by Sun Quan...

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang and his son's joy and harmony, there are many embarrassments within Soochow. For example, Sun Jian values ​​Sun Ce more and is somewhat dissatisfied with Sun Quan, who established Soochow in history.

After all, Sun Quan was a bit too much. He obviously inherited his father and brother's foundation, but after he became emperor, he gave his eldest brother the title of Changsha Hengwang, and he was very wary of his nephew.

Compared with him, although Sima Zhao and Sima Yan in the Western Jin Dynasty had a bad reputation, they respected Master Sima very much.

In ancient times, posthumous titles and posthumous titles were highly valued, and they were believed to be the final conclusion of a person.

A good reputation can bring blessings to future generations, such as Liu Bei, who often calls himself the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan.No matter what other people think in their hearts, they can't treat him as a commoner on the surface, at least they will treat him with courtesy.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, a well-known ancestor could allow the descendants to be recognized by other families and be regarded as a member of the ruling class, rather than an ant people who would die with birth.

It's just... Sun Quan seems to be deliberately ignoring Sun Ce in order to prove that his legal system comes from his father Sun Jian.He ignored Sun Ce's kindness to entrust Jiang Dong to him when he was dying.

If this is the source world, Sun Ce is already dead. As long as Sun Quan does not kill his nephew, no matter what he does, the civil and military under his command will not fight against his own monarch for a dead person.

Even Zhou Yu could only be silent.

But this is the world of China. Whether it is Sun Ce or others, they can see their original ending through the history books.

After seeing his death, his son was oppressed and suppressed by Sun Quan. Although Sun Ce could understand Sun Quan's thoughts, he felt a little uncomfortable deep in his heart.

At this time, the three of them, father and son, each had their own teams. If Sun Jian were not at the core, there would definitely be a split within the Soochow Sun Clan.

Sun Jian didn't want to make it so complicated, and he didn't want to think about how to solve the gap between Sun Ce and Sun Quan.

So when he led the army, he didn't take any of his two sons' team.

Now that the princes in the south of the Yangtze River are fighting for hegemony, the Sun family still doesn't know if they can fight against Liu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang. Fighting for power and profit, and estrangement between brothers are not important under strong pressure.

If the Sun family can gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River and have the strength to separate one side, the three of them, father and son, will slowly solve internal problems.

If you are on the way to hegemony, you will lose.

Then there is no need to solve the internal problems, everyone is dead, and it will be settled once and for all.

All three of them, father and son, understood this, so they were all working hard for the future of the Sun family. In the end, Sun Quan was in the rear, and Sun Jian and Sun Ce led the expansion.

"Xiao Wang Jing, crossing the south of the Yangtze River and choosing us as opponents... an army of one million, sounds like a mountain of pressure!"

Wait until the messenger reports the military situation.

Sun Jian's majestic face also showed a heavy look, and he sighed.

Several family generals in the camp also looked dignified.

Although in history Cao Cao and Liu Bei successively claimed 83 and 72 troops to conquer Soochow, they were both defeated by Soochow with fewer victories and more defeats.Of the three major battles at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, two were related to Soochow.

The two battles sent Zhou Yu and Lu Xun to the Wu Temple respectively.

But Cao Cao and Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of troops are just claims, and the actual soldiers dispatched are only more than [-] and [-] elite soldiers.

And Sun Jian and the others received the news.

It was the Huai army who really used millions of soldiers... The Huai army never exaggerated the number of soldiers and horses when they dispatched troops.

A true millionaire.

Just thinking about it makes one feel that a huge and incomparable mountain is covered by the spirit of the sky, making life inescapable and inescapable despair.

Sun Jian was a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Conquering the Yellow Turban, attacking Xiqiang in Liangzhou, and attacking Dong Zhuo... It can be said that he has experienced many battles. No matter what enemy he faces, he is as determined as iron and as fierce as a tiger.

Xiao Daocheng, who established the Southern Qi Dynasty in history, was defeated by the troops led by him.

but now.

Facing the crushing of the Huai army, he really had no idea in his heart, and even felt a little confused, not knowing how to deal with the crisis in front of him.

"My lord, the Huai army has not yet crossed the river, so our army should retreat to Wuxi first, and gather the soldiers and horses that have been sent out first!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi sighed in his heart and said.
