Shuhan

Xunyang City did not suffer much damage.

Various defense facilities are still in place.

Urn city, female wall, arrow tower and moat are all available.

Even in Xunyang City, Lu Xun was prepared for street fighting.

Rejection, trap, obstacle

Lu Xun really made too many preparations to defend the city.

However.

No matter how strong a city is, it cannot withstand its collapse from within.

These defense facilities constructed by the Wu army, which they spent countless manpower and material resources on, had no effect on the Han army at all.

It was even used by the Han army on the Wu army.

The original Wu Jun Dudu's Mansion has now been replaced with a plaque and turned into the palace of the Han prince.

In the lobby, a banquet had already been set up.

Liu Chan was sitting in the main seat, and the others were waiting in line.

Soon, the sound of silk and bamboo was heard, and the actress came forward to dance.

Don't mention it, these Wu Song and Dance Troupes are Sun Huan's assets.

They were running in a hurry and couldn't take away these beauties, so they took advantage of Liu Chan.

Liu Chan looked at the beauties in the hall. These beauties were indeed extraordinary in appearance.

The beauties from the Jiangnan water towns are as gentle as jade, with slender waists and skin like mutton fat.

Liu Chan had already experienced this feeling.

Among the beauties he has seen, Sun Luyu, Bu Lianshi, and Sun Shangxiang can all be called the stunning beauties of Jiangnan.

He looked at Gu Yong and found that Gu Yong's eyes were a little straight when he looked at these beauties.

Liu Chan's thoughts turned around in his mind, and he seemed to have an answer in his heart.

Originally, Gu Yong was suppressed by his wife's family and had little dignity in his daily life. How could he raise Mei Ji for fun?

Now that we are free from the constraints, other thoughts naturally arise in our minds.

This is what the so-called food and clothing and lustful thoughts are talking about.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Seeing that everyone was almost done eating and drinking, Liu Chan also spoke.

"Today's great victory for our Han country would not have been possible without the hard work of all of you. For your contribution, I have prepared a memorial and sent it to Chengdu. You will be rewarded soon."

Liu Chan looked at everyone with a smile and said: "In the memorial, I asked my father to make Gu Yong a marquis and promote Wenpin, A Huinan and others to official positions. Now the rewards from the country have not yet arrived, but the rewards of money and silk can be To you first.”

What is the war for?

Of course it’s for wealth!

Liu Chan is not the kind of leader who only talks empty words.

Since you have won the battle, I will reward you.

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it well.

Liu Chan's prestige in the military was also based on this foundation.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, General!"

The generals immediately knelt on the ground with excited expressions on their faces.

Among them, Gu Yong was the most excited.

He became a traitor and risked his life to serve the Han Dynasty. What was his purpose?

Revive the Han Dynasty?

of course not.

The Han Dynasty belonged to the Liu family, not him.

What he is doing is, of course, his own wealth and dignity.

Liu Chan smiled softly and said: "Now we just need to capture Xunyang. There are still many cottages in the Xunyang defense line that have not been captured, and you still need your lives."

As soon as these words were said, the generals in the hall immediately said loudly:

"Your Highness, don't worry. Not to mention the few cottages in Xunyang's defense line, even Jianye, we will capture it for Your Highness!"

"Yes, Xunyang has been captured. We should quickly send troops to capture Chaisang, advance to Pengli Lake, go down the river, and fight all the way to Jianye!"

"To defeat Wu and destroy Wu, this is a divine achievement!"

"Please also ask Your Highness to send troops quickly to take advantage of Wu's unprepared situation and catch him off guard!"

Once you win, you will want a second win.

Especially after seeing Gu Yong being made a marquis and after Liu Chan made the reward, these generals were all jealous.

This is especially true for Wenpin.

"Please also ask Your Highness to order me to attack Chaisang. Take advantage of the Wu army's unpreparedness to capture Chaisang and conquer Yuzhang County!"

Gu Yong was a surrendered general and had made great achievements, so he was favored like this. If Wenpin also made great achievements, how could he not be made a marquis?

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "The army is exhausted and should rest for a few days. If the strongholds on the Xunyang defense line are not removed, our army's logistics cannot be guaranteed. This is a risky strategy, and it is not possible to do it alone!"

There are still many elite Wu troops in Yuzhang County. After the Xunyang defense line is broken, they will definitely come towards Chaisang.

Chai Sang is not that easy to attack now.

Although Wenpin was disappointed, he admired Liu Chan so much now.

He had some complaints against Liu Chan before, feeling that Liu Chan did not dare to attack Wu and lost his prestige.

But only now did he realize that this was His Highness's strategy to show weakness to the enemy and lure them deeper.

Wu Jun fell into a trap and achieved this great victory.

"General Gu, your family members are all in Jianye. Now that you have rebelled against Wu and returned to the Han Dynasty, your family members' lives will definitely be in danger. So, I will arrange a marriage for you and renew your marriage. I will give you Sun Huan's original mansion. He How about you pick three of those beauties?"

Say goodbye?

Gu Yong was moved in his heart and immediately said: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness. Your Highness has such trust in the general. From now on, the general will fight to the death for Your Highness, even if it means going up the mountain of swords and under the sea of ​​fire, no matter what!"

"Good good!"

Liu Chan nodded, feeling pretty good.

There is still a way to win over generals.

Do what you want.

Find someone's G-spot.

Liu Chan already knew this.

Liu Chan, together with the generals and ministers of the Han army, were celebrating their victory in Xunyang. The officers and soldiers benefited from it, and they were naturally happy and their morale was greatly boosted.

As for Wu Guo, it was as if his parents were dead, and he was simply miserable.

In fact, after the front was defeated and the news of the destruction of Xunyang City reached Jianye, the people of Jianye who learned that their family members were dead could basically be said to be in a state of silence throughout the city.

War gave birth to widows, and of course these widows would be redistributed and become other people's wives and concubines, contributing leeks to the prosperity of Wu.

Wu Palace.

In the study room of the back hall.

From outside the study room, you can hear Sun Quan's roaring voice.

Zhuge Jin had just arrived from home and was shocked when he heard this voice.

Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he has paid great attention to keeping his emotions and anger hidden. What he hopes most is to keep his expression unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him.

Although he had gotten angry several times during this period, Zhuge Jin had never seen such an angry rage before.

Thinking of this, he wanted to wet himself.

But the internal officials in King Wu's palace were already talking loudly.

"General Zuo is here~"

Zhuge Jin gave the official a hard look and cursed in his heart: You eunuch, will you die if you don't shout a word?

But now that the matter was over, Zhuge Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

When they entered the study, they saw two people kneeling on the ground.

One of them was Lu Xun, the commander-in-chief of Wu State, and the other was Sun Huan, the general of Andong Zhonglang.

Among the two of them, one was a trusted minister of Sun Quan, and the other was a talented son of the Sun family clan who was praised by Sun Quan as "the clan clan Yan Yuan".

But now.

Because these two people directly destroyed Wu's tens of thousands of troops, they even lost Xunyang, Wu's first line of defense.

If Xunyang is lost, Wu will have no favorable terrain to stop the Han army.

If the Han army had a large number of cavalry and directly sent troops to plunder the land of Wu, you would also want to farm the land.

"What a great governor of Wu State, what a great general Anton!"

When Sun Quan curses people now, he curses until his face turns red and his neck becomes thick!

"I entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility. Is this how you repay me?"

At this moment, Sun Quan was angry, but at the same time, he was also a little scared.

This Han prince, Liu Gongsi, is really evil.

Victory in every battle.

Could it be that the Ziwei Emperor Star in the sky really came to this world?

The young master has the spirit of a dragon. The young master has the spirit of a dragon.

Could this person really be able to revive a great man three times?

Now Sun Quan is no longer confident.

If he is truly a man of God, shouldn’t he be an enemy?

Huhehuhe~

Sun Quan cursed so hard that his chest heaved violently.

Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao and others were also among them, but Sun Quan was furious now, and no one dared to touch this bad luck.

Especially Gu Yong, who has always placed himself in an inconspicuous corner.

His son-in-law betrayed him at the critical moment, which led to Xunyang City being destroyed by the Han army. If he were to pursue the case, his entire family would be seriously injured. Fortunately, Sun Quan still has some sense.

The matter of questioning the guilt can be put aside later. The most urgent thing now is to defend the Kingdom of Wu!

He looked around at everyone in the study.

Those who can come to the study are undoubtedly important ministers.

"Everyone, now that the situation has come to this, what plan do you have to save the country?"

Save the country?

Zhuge Jin thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why not negotiate peace with the Han Kingdom?"

If you can't beat it, what can you do?

Make peace!

If peace had been negotiated earlier, the losses would not have been so great.

Negotiating peace now will cost even more.

Negotiate peace?

Sun Quan's face turned even darker.

The conditions of the Han State were too harsh.

The conditions were even more unacceptable to Sun Quan.

"Besides negotiating for peace, do you have no other option?"

Sun Quan was already talking to them in a roaring voice.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Xun raised his head at this moment and said: "The current plan is, if we don't want to negotiate for peace, we must mobilize the elite soldiers and horses of the Wu Kingdom to fight decisively!"

decisive battle?

but.

What if you lose?

If the whole country's army is defeated.

Then the Kingdom of Wu is really over.

Sun Huan also said on the side: "Transfer General Pan Zhang, General Yang Can, General Zhu Huan, and General Zhu Ran to Pingbei. We may be able to defeat the Han army!"

Lu Xun continued on the side: "This city's survival is in critical condition! Your Majesty, you can't hesitate anymore, you must make a decision early, and ask for help from the Wei State and let it send troops!"

Asking for help from Wei?

"Wei Guo may not agree to send troops, he is attacking Xuzhou at the moment!"

"Your Majesty, the situation has changed! The Wei State attacked Xuzhou because they thought that our Wu State could withstand the Han army's offensive. But now our Wu State has been defeated. If the Wei State sits idly by and does nothing, our Wu State may be conquered by the Han State. Destruction, this is what Wei does not want to see."

Negotiate peace?

The conditions in Han were too harsh.

Help!

Raise your troops!

Sun Quan's eyes were bright and he no longer hesitated.

"Assemble the soldiers and horses of the county and the country to decide the outcome with the Han army!"

After the Battle of Chibi, no one forced him into such a desperate situation again.

When life and death were at stake, Sun Quan was willing to risk everything.

Blind weakness cannot bring dignity.

And only by winning can the Kingdom of Wu be preserved.

If he, Sun Quan, did not want to be the king of subjugation, he had only one choice.

war!

Ten days later.

With the help of secret agents from the school affairs office and Wu's envoys, Cao Pi, who was stationed outside Pengcheng, already knew the latest news about the war between Han and Wu.

"This is impossible!"

The first time he got the news, Cao Pi was only shocked.

And disbelief.

How long has it been since?

Then Liu Gongsi actually won another battle and broke through the Xunyang defense line that Wu State had spent countless manpower and material resources building?

This is false information!

fake news!

But in addition to the report from the school affairs office, envoys from the State of Wu also came.

This forced Cao Pi to believe the bad news.

He raised one hundred thousand troops, either soft or hard, and captured most of Xuzhou, leaving only Pengcheng and Xiapi, as well as a few cities loyal to Zang Ba, uncaptured.

I thought his movements were fast enough.

But Liu Gongsi's speed was even faster than him!

You must know that the reason why he was able to capture most of Xuzhou so quickly was not the use of troops, but the result of his management in the previous two years.

But the war between Han and Wu was a real war.

Cao Pi knew how strong the Xunyang defense line was from the intelligence collected by the secret agents of the school affairs office.

If he were to attack instead, it would take at least a year.

But it took Liu Gongsi a month to win?

In that year, wouldn't it be possible to destroy the Wu Kingdom?

Defeat Wu and defeat Wu!

He really has this ability!

How could Cao Pi sit still?

"My dear friends, how should I, the Wei Dynasty, deal with this matter?"

At this moment, in the main tent of the Chinese army, Jia Xu, Hua Xin, Chen Qun, Sima Yi and other officials were among them.

When everyone heard the news, their expressions were very serious.

This matter is already related to the situation of the world.

Nowadays, the world is divided into three parts. Although the Wei State is now the strongest in overall strength, the momentum of the Han State is too strong.

This momentum has unconsciously turned into a general trend.

Once the general trend is established, the people's hearts will follow.

Even Wei, the country with the strongest overall national power, was under great pressure.

And if at this time, we just sit back and watch Han engulf Wu, then not only will the general trend be with Han, but even in terms of overall national strength, Wei will not be able to compare with Han.

Not to mention unifying the world, I am afraid that Wei's power will not be preserved by then.

"Your Majesty, Xuzhou cannot be encircled for a long time, and the strategy of attacking the heart will not be effective. However, if we send troops to ask for help from Wu, I am afraid that Xuzhou's good situation will be ruined."

Don't look at it, Wei already has an absolute advantage in Xuzhou.

But to be honest, Zang Ba did not suffer any substantial harm.

He huddled tens of thousands of troops inside Pengcheng.

Pengcheng was strong, and the Cangcheng inside was even bigger. Over the years, Zang Ba continued to requisition grain and grass in Xuzhou, and the grain roads were transported to Pengcheng and Xiapi City.

If he sticks to it, the food and grass in it may be enough to last him for several years, or even longer.

This is a tough nut to crack.

"But if we want to attack Xuzhou, it will take at least several months."

A few months to attack strong cities like Pengcheng and Xiapi is actually too conservative.

Zang Ba seemed to have anticipated this day, so Pengcheng was built very solidly.

There is an acropolis and city protection outside the city, and there are many fortresses across it.

Not to mention that the city was not only raised by him, but also thickened.

To put it bluntly, Pengcheng now is like a hedgehog covered with thorns. No matter whether you bite or bite, you will definitely be stung by it and you will die.

"Zhongda, what do you think?"

Sima Yi's mission to the State of Wu was meritorious and he brought back Cao Rui's princess, which also cleared the way for the Wei State to clear Xuzhou.

Even now, there is a Wu army in southern Xuzhou, involving Zang Ba's army.

of course

The situation in Wu State is now critical, and this Wu army should be transferred back.

"When the Han State breaks through the Xunyang Defense Line, the State of Wu will definitely respond. In my opinion, if the State of Wu has nothing to do in a short period of time, asking for help from the State of Wu will not be beneficial to us, the State of Wei. Taking back Xuzhou, This will greatly boost the morale of our Wei army. Therefore, in my opinion, there is no need to rush to the aid of Wu, and we must first capture Xuzhou."

There are still three nails in the rotten ship.

After all, King Sun Quan of Wu is also a prince. Wu's military strength is not bad, its generals are not few, and its advisers are very effective. How could such a country be defeated in a short time?

"What does Master Jia think?"

What Sima Yi said actually makes sense.

The meat that goes into your mouth is real meat. What benefits can you get from asking for help from Wu?

Jia Xu opened his sleepy eyes and said, "Wu Guo must be saved, but not now!"

Want to save, but not now?

"Why?"

Jia Xu said calmly: "The current Wu State can still raise an army of 100,000 if it sells iron. Although its vitality has been severely damaged, it has not reached a desperate situation. A weak Wu State is what we want to see. Besides, we, the Wei Dynasty, will naturally benefit from rescuing the Kingdom of Wu. If the king asks the Kingdom of Wu for Hefei now, will he give it to him?"

Hefei is Sun Quan's lifeline. Would you give your lifeline to others?

The answer is self-evident.

"After the Han and Wu countries fight and both sides are injured, my great Wei Heavenly Soldiers will come again. Not only can we weaken the Han and Wu countries, but we can also seize the greatest benefits from them!"

Ginger is still spicy!

"But what if Liu Gongsi is brave and defeats the Kingdom of Wu in a short time?"

Cao Pi always felt that he couldn't reason about Liu Chan with common sense.

That guy would surprise him from time to time, no, scare him!
