Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 482 King Wu of Wei!What a beautiful and ironic title!
Jiangling City, dawn in the morning.

The corpses of Wu Jun were thrown down from the city wall like dead dogs.

Throughout the morning, the "dong-dong" sound caused by the "corpse" falling was endless.

This dull sound seemed to be the Jiangling garrison's deterrent to invading enemies...

This is a warning to them, if they dare to attack the city again, these dead bodies falling from the city will be an example!
Of course, there are still people alive...

Some prisoners had strong bones. They were pushed down the city. Fortunately, they fell onto the corpses on the backs and saved their lives, but they were still dying.

The Mi army on the city tower had already prepared a large number of infantry archers on standby. They only waited for the Wu army below the city to snatch back the bodies of their companions, and then fired arrows to kill the approaching enemies.

It seemed that Wu Jun had already seen the Mi Jiajun's plan. Even though subtle shouts could be heard faintly under the tower, no one dared to act rashly.

In this bleak autumn season.

Under the city...at the Wu army camp, the exhausted soldiers were beating their chests and stamping their feet, looking very embarrassed and dazzling.

tired…

For three consecutive days, they attacked the city more than six times, each time more fierce than the last, and each time their bayonets were more red-hot, but... they just couldn't get over the cold wall of Jiangling City.

The city is too high, the moat is too wide, and the walls are too strong.

From this perspective…

Xu Sheng's military command was inferior to Lu Meng's, at least in terms of offense.

Different from Lu Meng who attacked Changsha City, at least he saw that there was an inner wall within the outer wall. Of course, he took a "fatal step" because of this.

But, it seems... Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong and their [-] Wu troops here in Jiangling City have not even climbed up the outer wall.

Facing this solid city, facing the "eight oxen crossbow arrows" that are constantly shot out of the city, we must always be on guard against the huge crossbow stones dropped by the thunderbolt ten oxen crossbows... and thousands of "Qin crossbows" from time to time. "The salvo of...

Three days, 4 people...

Ten thousand people were killed, and countless others were injured.

This Jiangling City... is like a natural moat, standing firmly here!

And the Mi family army in the city, who knows... this "weak chicken regiment" that has always... been regarded as a "soft persimmon" by the princes and "destroyed with one poke"... what did they eat this time? Suddenly became so capable!

It's as if he doesn't want his life!
You know, during the siege, Wu Jun did not fail to climb the tower.

Even... once, a thousand dead soldiers among them climbed up the tower.

It stands to reason... Facing such an elite group of dead soldiers covered in blood, the Mi family army on the city tower should panic...

In past battles, they always panicked. This is the normal level of the Mi family army!

Even if there is a moment of stagnation, it is enough for the Wu army to occupy a corner of the tower and allow more soldiers to climb up bravely.

But who would have thought that in the face of the Wu Army's first soldiers, the Mi Army... did not flinch at all.

In the night when the river wind roared, countless Mi family soldiers roared, in the narrow corridor of the city wall...

He rushed forward as if he was desperate.

They were no match for these dead soldiers, but when one person fell, the people behind him rushed up again. They almost used their bodies to throw the enemy to the ground, and then they struggled together. After that, they bit them with their teeth and used their heads. Knock the opponent's head into a bloody mess.

The scene is extremely tragic!

The reason why...

All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit——

This Jiangling New City has a share of their Mi Family Army!

Houses, shops, land...many are their assets!
They are the "vested interests" in the construction of this new city. Anyone who wants to take away their "interests" and touch their "cheese" will... they will ruthlessly transform into killing machines and fight bloody battles with the invading enemies. Till death.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human nature!
It is human nature to protect one's own vested interests!
Wu Jun would not have thought of...

Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, and Ma Zhong would never have imagined that the outnumbered Mi army would resist so frantically. In the end... this army of dead soldiers who first climbed onto the city would be forced into increasingly narrow corridors.

after that…

Those Wu soldiers who climbed up the ladder followed closely and climbed the city wall, only to find that there was no place to stand.

In fact, there were already those "wolves, tigers and leopards" with green eyes, standing with swords, spears, swords and halberds, waiting for them, ready to go...

Now, even if the beam of dawn comes, the frightening scene last night is still flashing in Mi Fang's heart.

On the sidelines, when the last Wu Jun was thrown off the city wall, countless members of the Mi family let out earth-shaking cheers...

Amidst the cheers, Ma Liang, Mi Yang, Liu Chan, and Yu Hua trotted to the side of their "hero" Mi Fang.

Each of them smiled with a fearful smile, and the excitement in their hearts was beyond words.

Especially Liu Chan, who couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Mi Fang, "Uncle Zifang is a very good guard in this city. I didn't expect my father, my second uncle, and my third uncle... to be like this!"

This was the first time Liu Chan saw "Defending the City", and thanks to Mi Fang, a strong thought was instilled in his little mind.

——"As long as you dare to fight and fight hard, the city can be defended!" 』

Yes…

A mere [-] members of the Mi family, facing the pressure of [-] enemy troops, withstood six attacks by Jiangdong soldiers in three days, killing over [-] enemies...

This record...if you look at the entire city defense world, it's quite impressive.

Especially when Liu Chan saw that his son, Uncle Fang, always took the lead, as if he had endless strength, as if "a god descended to earth". This feeling... made Liu Chan realize what "reassurance" is!
call--

call--

Looking at Mi Fang, he was panting heavily.

When others praise him, he himself knows best?Who said he wasn't nervous?Not timid?not afraid?
He defended the city for three days and peed his pants four times in total!

It’s all because of fear!

But no matter how scared he was in his heart, he couldn't show any hint of timidity on the outside.

When the pants get wet, they get wet, and when they are blown by the river wind, they dry out in the sun. But if this aura is lost, the breath held by the soldiers guarding the city will also be released.

Therefore…

Mi Fang's pants smelled of blood, sweat, and urine mixed with natural drying.

Of course... under this situation, no one would care about this "wonderful" smell.

Only Liu Chan was so close that he could smell it. He looked at Mi Fang's crotch with a tiger's eye and said with emotion: "Brother Guan always tells me, what is heroism? Come to think of it...this smell on Uncle Zi Fang's body is Guan Si." The heroic spirit that fourth brother mentioned!"

Ah…

Ha ha…

Mi Fang really wants to cry. Where is this going?
However, pretending for a day is just pretending, but after a long time, it seems to become real.

"Cough cough..."

With a slight cough, Mi Fang once again became the "hero" figure in everyone's mind.

He raised his head and looked at the city. He looked at the dejected Wu soldiers. He shouted in a harsh voice: "They retreated before I even tried my best? That's it! That's it?"

"Haha... If you have the ability, come again! If I take a step back, I won't be the governor of Jiangling! I pronounce the name Mi Zifang backwards-"

In the past, Mi Fang had never used words like "Laozi".

The Jiangling city defense battle really gave him confidence.

Not far away from Mi Fang, Zhao Yun stood there. He had truly witnessed Mi Fang's bravery in the past three days. He had witnessed Mi Fang... Wherever there was danger, there was his courage and heroism.

This made Zhao Yun couldn't help but recall the prosperous years that belonged to him, the seven in and seven out at the foot of Changban Slope...

Today, he is a full ten years older than then!

But it seemed that Mi Fang was ten years younger and ten years more powerful than when he rescued her at Dangyang Bridge!

--"Amazing! 』

Even Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly.

But he had doubts again.

——"If Mi Zifang is so brave and courageous, how come...he is willing to bear the reputation of being a weakling in these years?Is this his deliberate attempt to hide his edge?This is…"

Undoubtedly, Zhao Yun thinks too much...

But it's not important. At this moment... I was hearing the words from Mi Fang's mouth, "You're retreating before I even try hard? That's it! That's it? Come again..."

For a moment, Zhao Yun calmed down. He looked at Mi Fang with great admiration and said to himself: "General Zifang, he is full of courage——"

...

...

Xu Sheng cried!

He had deep doubts about himself. For the first time, he felt that he was not the material to "attack the city".

It stands to reason that this general of Soochow has repeatedly defeated the Wei army, but... if you think about it carefully, they were all city defense battles!
There is a big difference between defending a city and attacking a city. The methods and tactics are very different.

"General, it's been three days... Our army has suffered heavy losses and cannot advance even an inch..." Pan Zhang was reporting to Xu Sheng. "It seems that Jiangling City... is destined to have a stalemate."

After saying this, Ma Zhong frowned and said, "We can't maintain a stalemate. In this raid, our army only carried ten days' worth of food, and now it has consumed nearly half. I sent people to inquire around, and Jingzhou did get the news in advance. The whole place is impenetrable, and the villages outside Jiangling City have no people and no food at all... Jingzhou is forcing us to attack in a hurry!"

This…

Following Ma Zhong's words, Xu Sheng felt like a knife was held to his neck.

Can the wall be strong and the wilderness clear?
When did it happen?

Why did he...never get any news?

In fact, it is not that Jiangling City has strong walls and clear fields, but that the new city has been built and the entire "Mianshui Villa" has been moved into the new city. Outside Jiangling City, an industrial chain with "Mianshui Villa" as the center point has already been formed.

Almost all the people living outside the city make a living by serving "Mianshui Villa".

There are also many common people who are workers in Mianshui Villa.

Therefore…

As Mianshui Villa moved into the new city, all the farmers and people who originally lived outside the city also moved into the new city. In a short period of time, there was a feeling that the outside of the city was empty... "the walls are strong and the wilderness is clear".

This is just the luck of "unintentional planting of willows and willows".

However, this added trouble to Wu Jun's food supply.

"I don't know why the food and grass from Yiyang City in the rear have not been delivered for three days. This stalemate cannot be maintained. Are you forcing me to attack in a hurry?" Xu Sheng suddenly raised his voice, "But how can we attack in a hurry? It is obviously a surprise attack, but It seems that every step has been predicted by the enemy, and the Mi family army? They have been hiding for so many years, and they turned out to be so brave. We have met our opponents this time!"

As Xu Sheng's words fell.

"Report-"

A guard stepped into the tent and reported quickly, "The messenger from Changsha has arrived and said he has something important to report to General Xu!"

"Let him in..." Xu Sheng replied casually.

Immediately afterwards, a soldier entered the tent.

The soldier seemed to be in a hurry...but Xu Sheng was even more anxious.

Without waiting for the soldier to report, Xu Sheng asked first: "How did the right governor promise me? Changsha City only has a thousand defenders. He can get down in half a day and arrive in Jiangling to help me in one day? But these three capitals It's gone, where are the others? Where are the people?"

At this point, with a "bang" sound, Xu Sheng slammed the table, "What? The right governor wants to get ready, recharge his batteries, and leave Xu Sheng alone here to consume Jiangling City? Do I want to wait until Jiangling is the last remaining one? Are you going to send another army to snatch this credit when you breathe a sigh of relief? Aren't you afraid that I, Xu Sheng, will accidentally follow in the footsteps of General Zhou Tai and go to the underworld to meet General Zhou under the spring?"

It was obvious that Xu Sheng was angry.

He would not attribute the faults of "unfavorable attack on the city", "losing troops and generals", and "not being able to advance even an inch" to himself. He naturally...and very angry dumped it on Lu Meng who did not provide timely support.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, both the civil and military forces of the Eastern Wu Dynasty were good at passing the blame——

"Xu...General Xu..." The soldier's tone was a little stuttered, as if...Xu Sheng's words frightened him, but he also had a mission to report the truth.

"General..." Finally, the soldier opened his mouth, opening his mouth with great urgency: "Lu... Governor Lu knew about the death of General Zhou Tai, and he... he also wanted to lead his troops to come to the rescue immediately!"

"Fart!" Xu Sheng said a rare curse word, "Then after taking Changsha? Why did he hesitate to move forward? It has been three days, not even a movement..."

"He... he... alas..." the soldier finally told the truth, "Changsha City was not captured, but... instead, Governor Lu Da fell into the trap and was almost burned to death by fire, and more than half of the [-]-strong army was lost... Now... now Because of smoking a lot of cigarettes, Governor Lu was seriously ill... dying... dying——"

--"What? 』

The soldier's words caused Xu Sheng's expression to change drastically. It seemed that, just for a moment, all the anger in his heart disappeared, and Zhuan'er... turned into confusion, confusion, worry and hesitation!

Changsha city?
But Changsha City where thousands of people are stationed?Didn't they capture it?

And... they also caused the loss of more than half of the [-]-strong army, and left their commander-in-chief Lu Meng dying!
How did this battle come to this point?

If Xu Sheng had previously blamed Lu Meng for not providing timely support, now his mood had completely changed and he was deeply worried about this so-called "raid".

Worrying about this battle... where should we go next?

Will this situation eventually degenerate into a situation where everyone is a slave to a knife and another is a fish?

"What? Why... why is Commander Lu dying?"

Pan Zhang on the side asked quickly.

The soldier ignored the explanation and quickly reported the second piece of bad news, "Besides...there is news that Guan Yu...Guan Yu and his [-] Guan family troops did not return for reinforcements, but...but went down the river the day before yesterday. The Dongting was destroyed, Yiyang and Chibi were destroyed yesterday, today... today I am afraid that they have reached Fankou... Fankou is in danger, Chaisang is in danger, Jianye is in danger, Soochow... the whole Soochow is in danger!"

This…

Suddenly, Xu Sheng's eyes raised, and his eyes widened in surprise.

He glanced at the soldiers in front of him, but there was no sparkle in his eyes.

Obviously, his mind was in chaos at this moment, and it seemed that he was a little unsure, so he quickly lowered his head and asked tremblingly.

"This...this statement is true!"

"It's...it's absolutely true——"

The soldier's voice just groaned.

"Report..." Another scout came to report, "General Xu, Dongting, Yiyang, and Chibi were lost one after another. Last night... Guan Yu launched an attack on Fankou. The defenders of Fankou were caught off guard and collapsed...even...even one Shi Chen... also didn't resist it!"

Now, the two pieces of information... confirmed each other.

With a "gudong" sound, Xu Sheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

Pan Zhang blurted out extremely nervously: "In this...this battle, who is attacking whom? Who is backstabbing?"

Ma Zhong said "Ouch" and then beat his chest, "Why do you still care about this now? Guan Yu is trying to drain the fire... Yiyang, didn't Yiyang specially arrange a garrison to guard against this attack? Zhu... General Zhu Huan and his Where is Buqu? And...where is the food sent from Yiyang City?"

At this time, no one will answer Ma Zhong's question.

But obviously, don't even think about food. For Xu Sheng's troops, they only have five days of food.

At this time, the sun was already shining through the gaps between the clouds, as if telling the world that "it's dawn", but... undoubtedly, this sunshine was black in the eyes of all Wu Jun, as black as ink.

It is black without hope!
"Then... what should we do now?" Pan Zhang quickly looked at Xu Sheng, and he reminded: "Guan Yu is draining fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. Governor Lu Da over there in Changsha has suffered a heavy setback and is dying. Now... we are the only ones who can come back to help now. What an army!"

Ma Zhong let out a long sigh again, "Guan Yu conquered four cities in three days... When we come back to help, the city of Jianye has fallen! Besides... we only have food for five days? Dongting, Yiyang, and Chibi have all fallen. If the gate of Guan Yu is closed, can we go back?"

Pan Zhang raised his voice, "What do you mean? Don't care? Ignore? Don't save?"

"How to help?"

This time, these three words were chanted by Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong at the same time.

The deep and thick tacit understanding.

Ma Zhong noticed Xu Sheng's opening and quickly closed his mouth, letting the "general" give the order.

Xu Sheng said: "Since Guan Yu knows how to draw fire from under the cauldron, how can his son not be counted as our army's return reinforcements? What if he besieges Wei and rescues Zhao? General Pan Zhang? You have also read military books. Have you forgotten the Warring States Period?" ...Then how did Pang Juan die?" This...

Xu Sheng shouted like an awl.

Pan Zhang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Surround Wei and rescue Zhao, haha... General Xu means not to save Wu and continue to attack Jiangling City? But... Originally, Jiangling City could not be captured. Now the bad news has come, the soldiers Their morale is bound to be low. Can Jiangling City be attacked again? Can our Soochow...defend again?"

call…

Pan Zhang's words seemed to stop Xu Sheng, which also made Xu Sheng's mood feel like a knife twisting, tingling, burning pain!
"Ah--"

Xu Sheng could only sneer. Now, he could finally clearly feel the huge gap between him and "excellent" commanders such as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu...in the process of commanding troops.

As the old saying goes -

He, Xu Sheng...may only be good at defense, but...his planning and detours during attack, his ability to resolutely make the right choice when faced with a decision, are...not Xu Sheng's strengths!

save?Still not saving?this is a problem!
...

...

Sun Quan was in a good mood.

At this moment... the sun was rising, and he was standing on the highest point of the palace dome, his green eyelashes and dark purple beard... fluttering in the river wind.

His eyes were closed, as if he was enjoying this moment.

Yes, everything went smoothly!

The Purple Lightning Sword played its role...

When Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng rushed to Poyang Lake with the purple electric sword, Lu Meng immediately launched a general attack on Jingzhou, one from the south, one from the north, one up and one down. This was to attack Jingzhou and the Guan family father and son--the cauldron!
Of course, Sun Quan also received news about the Xiangfan battlefield.

Knowing this, Guan Lin burned Cao Jun thoroughly with a fire.

Undoubtedly, this cast a thick layer of haze on the "tacit understanding" between Wei and Wu.

Originally it was a flanking attack, but now it's okay. Cao Wei just attracted an attack in the north. The main battlefield... still depends on his surprise troops and horses from Soochow.

"My lord is thinking about Cao Wei's defeat..." Gu Yong seemed to see Sun Quan's depression and asked in a low voice.

"Yes!" Sun Quan said without any nonsense, "I am afraid that Cao Wei will be defeated too quickly, but it will allow Guan Yu and Guan Lin to free up their hands and quickly rush to Jiangling and Changsha! But..."

Having said that, Sun Quan's eyes turned cold and sharp, "However, the defenders of Changsha City are only a few thousand people, and the defenders of Jiangling City are part of that weak army Mi Fang. I expected... I, Soochow The elites are all out, the strong generals are gathered together, and the city is broken... It's just a matter of seconds. What I'm worried about now is that under Cao Wei's heavy setback, Guan Yu doesn't need to look north, and the army goes south... How should our army defend it?"

Sun Quan calmly analyzed the situation and analyzed the most likely scenario...

Immediately, the Soochow army headed by Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Zhu Zhi, Jiang Qin, and Xu Sheng had to defend Jiangling in the face of Guan Yu's surging offensive.

When it came to military affairs, this was something Gu Yong was not good at, so he did not answer the conversation, but... he changed the subject, "I heard that Cao Pi received a canonization edict from the emperor!"

Well…

This sentence directly transferred Sun Quan's mind from the unpredictable battlefield to the court, "What kind of canonization edict does Mr. Gu think this is?"

Sun Quan asked knowingly.

"The current situation in Cao Wei is unfavorable..." Gu Yong said with a smile, "Therefore, the king of Wei promised to the lord, the edict to confer the title of 'King of Wu' will be sent in advance. Firstly... This is what Cao Cao promised to the lord, and secondly Come... He, Cao Cao, wants to use this edict to earn a huge favor from my lord, so that I can spare no effort when Soochow invades Jingzhou, so as to relieve Cao Wei's pressure on the Xiangfan battlefield!"

"Hahaha..." Following Gu Yong's analysis, Sun Quan laughed heartily and said while laughing, "I have thought of what Mr. Gu said, but...the emperor's edict to the king of Wu is still eye-catching and anxious. I can’t bear it!”

Yes…

The Sun family started from Sun Jian, ever since the jade seal handed down from the country mysteriously fell into the hands of the Sun family, the Sun family had the ambition to "become the king".

However, due to the situation, in today's situation, the king... often ends badly.

However, for Sun Quan, everything he did in his life was to surpass his father and brother, and to get out of the shadow of his father and brother's outstanding achievements and the establishment of Jiangdong's foundation.

Even if he didn't say it, Sun Quan wanted to use actual actions to prove that he was stronger than his father and brother. He wanted "this article" to become the principle that Soochow believed in.

King Wu——

hehe!What a magnificent title——

This was something that neither his father nor his brother had ever done, but Sun Quan...he did it, and he sat firmly!
It was precisely because of this edict that the emperor canonized the king of Wu that Sun Quan had his own thoughts.

"My lord, my lord..."

56-year-old Lu Dai hurried over.

The longest-lived general in Soochow in history, he even became an official at the age of 40, became the governor of the state at the age of 55, and finally lived to the age of 96. At this moment, he is walking like flying and his body looks extremely strong.

But... what stood in stark contrast to the bones of his body and steps was his expression.

It's simply an expression like "I'm mourning my heir".

"Mr. Lu? Is it appropriate to be so panicked?"

Seeing Lu Dai, Sun Quan opened his mouth to ask with a smile. Speaking of which, he liked this little old man Lu Dai very much. He was not confused when people said he was forty, but this little old man only became a county magistrate at forty, and was discovered by Sun Quan at 45. He was appointed as the county magistrate of Yuyao. At the age of 50, he was asked to recruit elite soldiers to put down the rebellion!
Originally, this was just an ordinary civil servant.
But... what surprised Sun Quan was that no matter what tasks were given to him, he was conscientious and meticulous.

Although work is slow enough, it is better to be steady...

So Sun Quan left matters such as palace etiquette and information collection to him, and joked with him all the time...

But this time, Sun Quan was wrong!

Because, from the moment the information came out of the mouth of the little old man Lu Dai, his expression seemed to be infected by Lu Dai and became as if he was mourning for his heir.

"Guan Yu... Guan Yu has led his troops to kill. Three days ago, the Dongting Lake Water Village was destroyed. Two days ago, Yiyang and Wulin were destroyed. On the same day, Chibi fell. This morning, Fankou was destroyed... Guan Yu... Guan Yu led his Guan family army without stopping and was already heading toward Chai Chai. Sang has been killed! If Chai Sang breaks through again, then...then my Soochow general...will no longer have a barrier!"

--"What? 』

Sun Quan thought he heard wrong, but... Lu Dai seemed to have expected it. He quickly said the same words again, louder this time, and this time his tone... made Sun Quan realize that this was the truth!
Of course, he had too many questions...

Guan Yu is coming to kill you!
Four cities were destroyed in three days!

Okay... Let’s not worry about how he got here?How did you break the city?
The key question is, how come there is no news about the broken city ahead... no news at all?
His surprised eyes were full of doubts for a moment, as if...this doubt became the only persistence in Sun Quan's heart. He insisted...this information must be wrong and inaccurate.

Unexpectedly, Lu Dai went on to report, "All the scouts from each city were on standby outside the palace. They said... They said they were running, but Guan Yu and the Guan Jiajun were also running. They passed on information, and the Guan Jiajun attacked the city faster than they reported. You have to hurry up...my lord, my lord...recall General Lu Meng quickly, otherwise...otherwise Soochow will be gone—"

Following Lu Dai’s words…

It's very quiet here.

Sun Quan's complexion changed from livid to pale, and veins popped out on his forehead... The panic under the daze was quickly taking over his entire facial expression.

His face was red from surprise or fear, as if he was trying to hold back internal injuries.

Gu Yong, on the other hand, was also surprised. His throat rolled, and he felt that all the strength in his body had been exhausted. He felt like the world was spinning and he was about to faint.

Finally... he took one step ahead of Sun Quan and asked: "Zhu Huan of Yiyang City is also... gone?"

"It's gone... Yiyang City didn't even hold out for half an hour before it was captured by Guan Yu..." Lu Dai's voice was hoarse. It is no exaggeration to say that this was the most terrifying and terrifying experience he had ever encountered since he became an official in Soochow. Terrible, the most precarious, the most desperate situation.

If it is not handled well, Soochow...will be gone!

"He...he...ahem...ahem...ahem..."

Sun Quan opened his mouth, but he just chanted the word "he". What followed was severe pain in his throat, as if someone was using a knife to scrape the wall of Sun Quan's neck one by one. It hurt... But it’s even more suffocating!
"Lord..." Gu Yong quickly went to pat Sun Quan on the back.

Sun Quan seemed to use all his strength to give the order, "Ming... ring the gold and beat the drums, summon all the generals and military advisors left behind in Soochow... to come and discuss the matter! Cough... cough cough cough cough cough -"

Before he could finish his words, there was another burst of uncontrollable coughing. This kind of dry cough caused by excessive surprise is the most uncomfortable and painful.

The morning light was dim, and a sonorous bell suddenly rang in Jianye City, which was still sleeping.

In the Zhou family's residence, Zhou Xun, Sun Shao, Tai Shixiang, Huang Bing, and Zhou Jun gathered together. They were discussing... the situation on the Xiangfan battlefield, and also discussing Soochow's backstab raid and whether Jiangling and Changsha could resist it as expected. live.

But the sound of the bell... made everyone stop talking quickly.

Not long after, Sun Quan's personal guards came to convey that Guan Yu's army was approaching, and the lord summoned General Zhou to discuss matters.

Actually, it stands to reason.

With Zhou Xun's qualifications, he is not qualified to participate in such discussions.

But...who let Zhou Xun have [-] soldiers now?These ten thousand soldiers...are already half of the defenders of Jianye City. They are the hope of Jianye, the hope of Sun Quan, and the hope of the entire Soochow.

Wait until the soldiers who have passed the news go away...

Zhou Xun smiled and looked around at the people around him, "Young Master Yunqi is still brave. I thought... the news from his previous secret message that the raid on Jiangdong was to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but I never thought... it was just a drain on the bottom of the cauldron."

In sharp contrast to Zhou Xun's faint smile, is Sun Shao's seriousness and meticulousness.

He solemnly said: "If we can drain the firepower, then Brother Xun's Buqu and Hongyan's dead soldiers can be put to great use——"

Following Sun Shao’s words…

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The bells of Jianye City continued to ring, deafening.

Soon...this "bad news" will spread throughout Jiangdong!
...

"What sound? It's so deafening..." Cao Pi, who was building the Ye City Post House, woke up from his sleep.

Outside the door...Wu Zhi and Liu Zhen had arrived long ago.

They didn't know what had happened on the front line.

I thought... the edict of King Wu on the canonization by the emperor was known to Soochow in advance, so... such a bell was sounded to commemorate this very meaningful day for Soochow and Sun Quan.

Saw Cao Pi going out...

Wu Zhi, who showed his intelligence, smiled and said: "This is Soochow, our news... could easily leak out, but just in time... since Sun Quan is so impatient, the young master only needs to prepare the canonization edict!"

"Yes..." Liu Zhen also echoed: "I heard that the war in Xiangfan is not going well now. That Guan Jiashilang burned down three cities at once. It is urgent... The King of Wei urgently needs the support of Soochow, Zihuan... you The edict in your hand is related to whether you can save the defeat for King Wei, this is a great achievement!"

Hearing what Wu Zhi and Liu Zhen said, Cao Pi nodded slowly, and then smiled and said: "In that case, you two follow me, and we will go to the Marquis of Wu in response to the sound of the bell... No, to the palace of King Wu! The edict conferring the title of 'King of Wei and Wu' on Sun Quan also helped my father... to save the precarious situation on the Xiangfan battlefield——"

When the words "King of Wei and Wu" were mentioned, Cao Pi emphasized his tone.

There is a hint of ridicule and teasing in the words...

Everything is under control!

...

...

In the court hall of Soochow, there are no more soft and elegant chapters played by silk and bamboo.

Because of Guan Yu's surprise attack, because of the Guan army's attack on four cities in three days.

No...including Fankou, it's already five cities in three days...

This speed of attacking a city from thousands of miles away was a silent and huge deterrent to the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty.

The entire court quickly fell into chaos...

Countless civil servants opened their mouths unscrupulously and in panic: "He's coming, he's coming, he's coming..."

"Guan Yu...he is best at making rapid marches and attacking cities..."

"General Zhu Huan was killed in battle, and Fankou has been lost. Next, next is Chaisang. After Chaisang...it is our Jianye City! This...this is the autumn of our survival in Soochow!"

There are many negative voices.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who were "capitulationists" in their hearts... were silently listening to the civil and military voices at this moment and remained silent.

Gu Yong was even more worried...

He doesn't like Guan Yu, because Guan Yu and Sun Ce are the same type of people. If it were Sun Quan... he would succumb to the aristocratic family, and then... check and balance, compromise, and give benefits... But whether it is Sun Ce or Guan Yu, once... the aristocratic family of Soochow shows the intention to resist, Then they will all choose the most violent suppression!
Even... from some angles, Guan Yu is more difficult to deal with than Sun Ce, at least... because of Guan Shilang, Guan Yu is not like Sun Ce, he is not a brainless reckless man!

Therefore…

What is rare this time is that the major Soochow families who surrendered in the Battle of Chibi now... they actually share the same hatred and are working together, and have expressed their intention to resist to the death.

Zhou Xun was also there. He listened to the flustered complaints of the civil servants and the feeble "resistance" ambitions of the Wujun and Kuaiji families... He wanted to laugh...

resistance?The army is out?The opponent is Guan Yu again?How to resist?

What's more... he, Zhou Xun, and Hong Yan... Zhou Xun really couldn't imagine how Sun Quan... could fight in this situation?It's nothing more than bringing back the troops dispatched to help...

The lesser of two evils, that's the only way!
really…

Zhang Wen, the patriarch of the Zhang family, one of the four major families in Wu County, said: "My lord, although several of our major families have some branches, the three armies are easy to obtain, but it is difficult to find a general... All the generals in Soochow who can command the army have been sent to Jingzhou. Now, of course, they can Guarding Chaisang, if you want to resist Guan Yu’s attack, you have to...you have to have the right commander Lu Meng!"

Zhang Wen is telling the truth...

This is what Sun Quan has been struggling with. He mused: "Encircle Wei and rescue Zhao... It's a good plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. If Governor Lu Meng and several generals return to rescue, then Jiangling and Changsha, which were finally obtained, will be given to others again..."

Obviously, Sun Quan was a little unwilling.

He was unwilling to give in. It was obviously him who chose to "stab in the back", but why... it was Guan Yu who was "stealing", and he did it so violently and as fast as the wind.

"Lord..." Gu Yong reminded: "If Soochow is defeated by Guan Yu, how about taking Jingzhou? So what? My lord... the top priority is urgent, and when we don't have a choice, we must send back reinforcements! I expected Lu Da The governor, General Xu Sheng, General Zhou Tai, General Jiang Qin, and General Zhu Zhi are the victorious troops. When they come back... they will be able to fight Guan Yu. Jingzhou... Without Guan Yu, Guan Lin will have no minions. It’s nothing to worry about, sooner or later Jiangling and Changsha will still belong to the lord!”

"Yeah yeah…"

"That's Guan Yu!"

"If Governor Lu doesn't come back to help, it will really be an attack from thousands of miles away. This Guan Yunchang is imitating the white horse battlefield in the past when he was awarded the title of 'Han Shoutinghou'!"

For a time, all civil and military officials agreed...

call…

Following Gu Yong's analysis and the agreement of these officials, Sun Quan swallowed hard. He patted his chest with his hands and looked extremely haggard.

He wasn't willing to give in, but now... so what if he wasn't willing to give in.

"Pass an isolated order, let Lu Meng, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin, Zhu Zhi... troops be divided into multiple groups, and immediately return for reinforcements. First rescue Chai Sang, and then... cough cough cough cough..."

Sun Quan coughed and chanted the last words with difficulty, "First save Chai Sang! Then! Then seize the lost ground——"

He can stay in Jingzhou...but the lost land must be regained, otherwise...in the three generations of Jiangdong, he, Sun Quan, will only become the scumbag and weakest generation, and will become the laughing stock of Jiangdong!

"Well..."

All the civil and military officials responded in unison. Immediately, those who wrote letters were ready to hurry up, and pigeons flying thousands of miles were also quickly prepared.

However, because of this precarious situation, everyone was a little panicked due to nervousness...

Many people bumped into each other while busy and fell down.

In the midst of this panic...

Suddenly, Lu Dai came again, was it him, or was he...he came again with the latest information.

In fact, when he hurried over, he had already heard Sun Quan's conversation with Gu Yong and Zhang Wen. He broke into the palace and knelt down with a "snap". He almost trembled and spoke with tears in his eyes.

"My lord... my lord... Lü Meng... Governor Lü Meng can't come back to help!"

"The Commander-in-Chief fell into the trap and lost half of his troops... Even Commander-in-Chief Lü Meng was... dying! General He Qi... even asked the lord for support!"

support?

Following Lu Dai's words, Sun Quan was speechless and choked up... He felt that he couldn't contain the collapse in his heart!

--"support?Do you still want support? 』
