Chapter 272 Incompetent Fury

Xiahoudun himself can mock others, but he doesn't allow others to make fun of his eyes, so he became furious when Ji Ling provoked him.

"Ji Ling! You are courting death!"

Seeing this, Ji Ling was a little satisfied, and continued to add fuel and vinegar: "What a perfect general, you seem very dissatisfied? Then go out of the city and fight with me."

"You wait"

Seeing the general's anger, Qin Yi stepped forward in fright, grabbed Xiahou Dun's wrist and advised him: "General, don't be fooled."

Xiahou Dun stopped after listening to the persuasion, and at this moment Ji Ling shouted again: "Wu Na is blind, don't you dare to fight?"

"The people who have changed their masters are worthy of me to do it myself? What is your status? What is my status?"

"you"

Ji Ling failed to provoke Xiahou Dun, and he almost lost his composure and became angry. Fortunately, Sun Quan led his horse up to stop him: "Don't provoke, it's fine."

"My lord"

"I'll meet you, this perfect general."

"only."

Xiahou Dun's one-eyed eyes were more focused. He saw the man in golden armor next to Ji Ling, with a long body and short legs, and his eyes were of a different color, so he thought that Bi Yaner had come in person?
While thinking about it, Sun Quan cupped his hands at him.

"General Xiahou, you think General Ji's identity is not enough, what about this Marquis's identity?"

"Sun Zhongmou?"

"Good eyesight."

Sun Quan nodded slightly, and persuaded with righteous words: "The general is currently the Yin of Henan. If you are willing to surrender to the Marquis now and bring the soldiers of King Qin of Jiangdong into Xu, your status and official position can still be preserved. How about you being named a Marquis?"

Xiahou Dun replied with one eye open, "You have no hair around your mouth. Who gave Xu Du the guts of your dog? Sun Jian and Sun Ce are not so presumptuous. Go back to Jiangdong for a few years to drink milk, and don't run out to embarrass yourself."

Sun Quan's face changed greatly when he heard the ridicule, and he took the horsewhip and angrily reprimanded: "Xiahoudun, I will seize the opportunity when I give you, don't be ignorant of flattery, I can do what Cao Cao can do! If you are obsessed with obsession, wait until I break Shouchun, you You have to be blind in the other eye too."

"Huangkou Ruzi, what else do you do besides sneak attack? Do you dare to lick your face and compare with Meng De? Hurry up and get out, I will greet you with arrows later."

Xiahou Dunyan waved his hand after saying that, all the archers on the top of the city stepped forward to draw their bows and set arrows. Seeing this, Zhou Tai hurriedly protected Sun Quan and retreated.

"Xiahou is blind, you are a complete waste, you are dead."

Sun Quan cursed and retreated, but failed to persuade him to surrender and had no choice but to storm the city.

That night outside Shouchun City, Jiangdong soldiers set up camp as defenders, and Sun Quan asked Xu Kun to deploy the siege.

Because Shouchun City is adjacent to the Huai River in the north, Xu Kun changed the strategy of encircling three and missing one to encircle two and missing two according to local conditions, that is, to vacate the two northeast gates of Shouchun and attack the two southwest gates of Shouchun with all his strength.

Shouchun has been run by Yuan Shu for many years. Since his fall to the present, there has been no military disaster here, so the high city wall is still strong.

Xu Kun commanded a fierce attack for three days, but failed to achieve obvious results, and the offensive became stable instead.

It was night, Sun Quan was in the big tent, and he questioned repeatedly like incompetence and fury.

"Xiahou Dun is an incompetent generation, and the defenders are all farmers farming the land. Why can't you climb to the top of the city?"

"How do the ladders and the rushing cars work together?"

"And you guys, don't you know everything about Shouchun? Why haven't you found a flaw yet?"

"Wouldn't it be a joke if we can't win the trash that Long Yunqi can defeat quickly?"

"Why didn't you answer? I want to know now, when will the city be broken?"

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, the first battle was to destroy Li Shu's power, and the second battle was to fight the current Xiahou Dun. According to rumors, Xiahou Dun was terribly weak. He thought he could win in two or three days, but there was a big gap between ideal and reality.

After Sun Quan finished venting, Xu Kun clasped his fists and explained to him: "My lord, no matter how weak the defenders and defenders are, as long as they have the will to defend, it is not easy to break through the city quickly, unless they launch an attack regardless of the cost, but in that case It’s not the way of generals, you still need to take Xudu after taking Shouchun, you need to strictly control the battle damage, otherwise there will be big problems.”

After listening to Xu Kun's explanation, Sun Quan felt relieved: "Uncle Wai's opinion, how long will it take us to destroy the city?"

"In the past few years when we attacked Lujiang and Li Shu was isolated and helpless, it took us more than two months. Xiahou Dun will not be isolated and helpless."

Xu Kun stroked his beard just for analysis, and did not give a specific time point.

Sun Quan frowned, and said to himself: "Suppose Shouchun will take two months, I am worried that Cao Cao will end the battle early, and then he will be passive."

Xu Kun shook his head in relief: "Xudu is quite far from Cangtingjin, and the ships in the Central Plains are far less sophisticated than ours. I estimate that it will take at least a month for Cao Jun to go back and forth. He didn't return from Hebei so soon. My lord can deal with Xiahou Dun at ease."

Sun Quan asked again: "Even if Cao Cao didn't come, it doesn't mean that Xu didn't send reinforcements. Is my uncle able to deal with it?"

Xu Kun nodded slightly: "I was about to report to you that Shouchun had to cross the Huai River to the north to send news to Xudu. I was going to send people to block the waterway. On the one hand, I would block Xiahou Dun from asking for help, and on the other hand, I would be able to cut off Shouchun's food." Dao, as long as the food in the city is exhausted, there will be chaos, and Shouchun City will be destroyed by then, just like Lujiang was destroyed back then."

"Okay." Sun Quan applauded repeatedly: "Uncle, hurry up and make arrangements. The rice outside Xiahou Dun's city is not yet ripe, and there is a lot of grain in the city. I want to see how long this blindness can last."

Xu Kun nodded in response, and then reminded Sun Quan: "In addition to blocking the Huai River passage, does the East Gate also need to be blocked? Xiahou Dun will definitely ask Guangling for help, but that will destroy the strategy of encircling three shortages and one battle."

"Guangling?"

Sun Quan raised his head and counted the days. He estimated that Zhou Yu had already dispatched troops at this time. If he couldn't even restrain Chen Deng, he would then be able to take the opportunity to question his crimes and cut power, so Zhou Yu could not leave excuses.

"We must persist in the method of encircling the three lacks. Xiahoudun asked for help and let him go. My Jiangdong army can't all go to climb the city. Chen Dengruolai just waited for work at leisure and surrounded the spot for help. This can also relieve Gongjin's pressure."

Sun Quan spoke in a high-sounding manner, and his counselor Zhang Hong was very moved when he heard it, and he was the first to stand up to praise and compliment him.

"My lord is strategizing, it seems that Xiahou Dun will surely lose."

"My lord will win, but Xiahou Dun will lose."

"The lord must win, but the blind must lose"

Seeing this, all the generals clasped their fists in agreement.

Sun Quan was very helpful in flattery, so he looked at Zhang Hong with a smile, and asked for advice: "I heard that Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others often have clever strategies to help Cao Cao defeat the enemy. Zi Gang is my mastermind in Jiangdong. This attack Shouchun, do you have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

"Uh"

Zhang Hong's smiling face froze suddenly, he didn't expect Sun Quan to think highly of him and compare himself with Xun Yu and others.

He stroked his beard and thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "As General Xu said, if the defenders in the city have morale, it is not easy to break through the city quickly. If you have to make a plan, you might as well start with disintegrating morale? For example, the book on archery Rumors spread in the city, saying that Cao Cao was defeated in Hebei, Xudu was attacked by Liu Biao, etc., or that Guangling was attacked by the governor of the capital, etc. "

Sun Quan thought it made sense, so he waved his hand to signal Xu Kun: "What Zigang said is very good, why don't you give it a try?"

"only."

Xu Kun actually disagreed in his heart, but he still clapped his fists out of fear of trouble, thinking how many soldiers in the city could read and write?Archery books are time-consuming and labor-intensive. As for the rumors about Liu Biao and Guangling, he also thinks that Xiahou Dun will not believe them.
