Soldiers come to the world

In the room, Sun Quan listened to Lu Su's report with a dark face, he said 'bang! 'He slapped the table and said angrily, "It's really deceiving!"

Sun Quan hurried back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He couldn't believe that Liu Jing would put forward such harsh conditions, taking his young son as a hostage, compensating one million shi for food, and not being able to own warships of more than [-] shi. Let go of trade, this is simply to destroy Jiangdong.

"I won't accept any of it!" Sun Quan gritted his teeth.

Lu Su sighed. He felt that Marquis Wu lost his composure and lost his composure. This is not the manner of a king of a country. He reminded in a low voice: "Marquis Wu is so angry, maybe he fell into Liu Jing's plan."

Sun Quan was stunned, Lu Su's words poured on his head like a basin of cold water, he slowly walked forward with his hands behind his back, forced himself to calm down, and after a long time he said slowly: "Zijing thinks that I can do it under such conditions. do you accept?"

"Of course I can't accept it!"

Lu Su said without hesitation: "I made my statement on the spot, it is impossible for Marquis Wu to accept such a condition, but"

Lu Su hesitated for a while and then said: "Jia Xu proposed these conditions to me today, not Liu Jing himself, so I think that this is not a real condition, and we can still bargain."

Sun Quan shook his head and sighed, "How can we bargain for such a high price? 80 shi, or 60 shi, destroy the two thousand shi warship, return the thousand shi warship, send my son, or let my brother go." , we can’t afford it, Zijing, do you understand? Liu Jing doesn’t have the sincerity to negotiate at all!” [

Speaking of this, he turned his head and said to the guard at the door: "Go and invite Governor Zhou!"

'The Governor of Zhou? Lu Su froze for a moment.

Sun Quan smiled faintly, "Gong Jin has come back, I revoked Cheng Pu's post as governor, and re-appointed Gong Jin as governor, I believe he will not let me down."

Lu Su felt a little disappointed in his heart. It should be said that Marquis Wu did not have the sincerity of the peace talks. He just let himself try it out. If he encountered a slight setback, he would not continue the negotiation. Concession, it seems that it is going to be a fight to the death.

In fact, Lu Su did not understand Sun Quan's heart. Sun Quan's heart was very contradictory. War and peace each accounted for [-]%. Rely on, he thinks he still has a chance to win.

On the other hand, the annihilation of Cheng Pu made him feel tremendous pressure. He was afraid that the navy would also be annihilated, so he wanted to get out of trouble at the least cost.

But Liu Jing saw through his scheming, blocked his attempt to get out of trouble at the lowest price with sky-high prices, and forced Sun Quan to fight.

At this time, Zhou Yu walked into the study. Zhou Yu had just rushed back, and his army was still on the way back. He received a report from Xu Sheng. Of course, he knew that the situation was serious. It couldn't be shipped out.

Xiazhi City without kerosene was no longer important, so Zhou Yu gave up capturing Xiazhi City and hurried back to Chaisang. He stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "See Marquis Wu!"

"Sit down first!"

Sun Quan still didn't turn his head, but said calmly: "Zijing, please tell Gongjin about meeting him!"

Lu Su then told Zhou Yu in detail about his trip to Jiangxia Army for peace talks, and Zhou Yu felt a little angry in his heart, "Wu Hou, Liu Jing is not sincere at all, so there is no need to talk about it."

Sun Quan nodded, "Zijing go down to rest first! Everyone else goes down."

Lu Su got up to leave, and several guards also retreated. Only Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were left in the room. Then Sun Quan turned and looked at Zhou Yu, "I want to know how much chance we have of winning, you tell me the truth .”

Zhou Yu thought for a long time and said: "Frankly speaking, we only have a three-point chance of winning. This is not because of General Cheng's defeat in Lujiang, but because of our lack of strength."

Sun Quan sat down and asked, "Do you think we are inferior to Jiang Xia's army, fire oil?"

Zhou Yu smiled and explained: "Fire oil is only one aspect. Now we also have fire oil. Although the amount is small, it can play a role after all. The key is timing. This western expedition happened to be after Jiang Xia's army defeated Cao's army. It is a local battle, and we have the psychological advantage of fighting against the enemy, but we have traveled thousands of miles to the west, and soldiers have left their hometowns for expeditions.

"Only [-]%?" Sun Quan sighed lowly, looking a little disappointed.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "If Marquis Wu just wants to withdraw his troops, maybe I have a risky plan."

Sun Quan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Gongjin, please tell me!"

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "We can use the golden cicada's plan to retreat openly and secretly, and use water to attract Liu Jing, but we actually withdraw our troops by land, so that we can preserve the main force and withdraw back to Jiangdong at the lowest cost."

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, "Gongjin means that we give up our warships? But here are nearly [-]% of our warships in Jiangdong. If we lose them, we will not be able to turn around in at least three to five years. This is the same as Liu Jing asking us to give up. What is the difference between warships over five hundred shi?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "There is nothing to lose, nothing to gain, not only warships, but at least [-] troops must be given up to ensure the safe withdrawal of the main force to the east, and"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu stopped, he found that Wu Hou was a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something, he patiently waited for Wu Hou to think.

Sun Quan was startled, and hurriedly said: "I'm listening, Gong Jin, please continue."

Only then did Zhou Yu continue: "And we must evacuate tonight, send military ships to attack the Jiangxia army's water stronghold at night, and at the same time withdraw the main force to the east. Only by marching for three days can we get rid of Jiangxia's army's pursuit."

"Why do we have to evacuate tonight?" Sun Quan asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, because Marquis Wu has already sent Zijing to negotiate peace with Liu Jing, which exposed the lord's intention of showing weakness. Liu Jing can't prevent us from withdrawing by land, so time is very tight, and we must evacuate tonight. "

Sun Quan was speechless for a while, he lowered his head and said, "Let me think about it for a while, and then think about it."

Zhou Yu sat alone in the outer room drinking tea silently. He knew Marquis Wu very well. The hesitation shown by Marquis Wu made Zhou Yu understand that Marquis Wu would not adopt his plan. Marquis Wu did not want to pay too much and give up all the warships And [-] troops, Wu Hou refused to accept.

More importantly, Marquis Wu was still holding on to a sliver of luck at this time, and there was at least a three-point hope of defeating Jiang Xia's army, which gave Zhou Yu something to say.

At this moment, the door opened, and Sun Quan came out from the inner room. He walked up to Zhou Yu and asked, "Gong Jin said just now that if the two armies had a decisive battle, we would have at least a [-]% chance of winning. Is there any way to increase it to [-]%?"

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and said: "If you motivate the soldiers and pay more attention to performance before the battle, you may have a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning, but I really can't guarantee it."

There was a smile on Sun Quan's face, but the smile was forced. The smile just flashed by, and then his expression became serious. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made up his mind, "I decided to go tomorrow." Let's fight Jiang Xia first!"

In the early morning of the next day, [-] troops stood neatly at the foot of the city in Chaisang, with bright armor and high morale. A ten-foot-high wooden platform had been built in front of the city gate. knife, looking sharply at the soldiers.

Behind him, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai stood on both sides respectively. Zhou Yu's expression was silent, while Huang Gai was a little excited.

At this time, Sun Quan raised the ancient ingot knife high and shouted sharply: "This is Wu Chenghou's ancient ingot knife. It is the sword of the Jiangdong army. The sword will protect you when you go out to fight, and let our Jiangdong army prestige, defeat the Jingzhou army!"

Eight thousand soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Defeat the Jingzhou Army!"

The shout resounded through the sky, and Sun Quan turned his head to look at Huang Gai, "General Huang obeys orders!"

Huang Gai strode out, knelt down on one knee and said, "The end is here!"

Sun Quan took the Tiger Talisman and Jinling Arrow, and handed them to Huang Gai, "I will leave this battle to you, don't let me down."

"Humble position will never let Marquis Wu down!"

Sun Quan nodded, and shouted loudly to the eight thousand soldiers: "Kill one enemy, reward five taels of gold, ten acres of fertile land, kill or capture the enemy leader alive, reward one thousand taels of gold, sons, fight to the death! !"

The Jiangdong army's morale was high immediately, and their murderous intent was high. Sun Quan drew his saber and pointed at the water village, "Let's fight!"

Under the leadership of Huang Gai, the Eight Thousand Jiangdong Army marched towards the Shuizhai. They each boarded a hundred thousand stone warships. In Sangcheng, warships slowly sailed out of the water village and headed for the river.

At the same time, the scouts of the Jiangxia Navy on the river had discovered the situation, and drove the fast boat back to the Jiangxia Army Water Village...

After negotiating with Lu Su, Liu Jing knew that the Jiangdong Army intended to retreat, so he dispatched troops overnight to block the Jiangdong Army's eastward retreat by land.

After receiving the report, Liu Jing and dozens of soldiers rushed to the big boat and looked at the other side of the Yangtze River from afar. The river in Chaisang is extremely wide, more than ten miles long. Everyone has already seen small black spots appearing on the surface of the river, about a hundred warships, and they are all Qianshi warships.

Before Liu Jing could speak, Gan Ning took a step forward and cupped his fists and said, "I would like to lead the army to fight, and give Jiangdong Army a head-on blow."

Liu Jing nodded approvingly, this battle must be decided by Gan Ning, and he said to Shen Mi and Lou Fa: "General Shen and General Lou can be the left and right lieutenants, I will give you [-] sailors and [-] warships. I beat Jiangdong Army hard!"

"Follow the order!" The two walked away quickly.

At this time, Jia Xu next to him laughed softly, "I think it's better to lose."

Liu Jing pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Although it can confuse Sun Quan, it will also affect morale, so we should take every step to completely defeat him."

Jia Xu nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay to win by clever tactics, but I still like to do a little bit of tricks."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu whispered a few words to Liu Jing, Liu Jing understood and said with a smile: "Yes, it will be according to the master's plan."

At this time, horns sounded in unison in Jiang Xia's water stronghold, and the deep horn sound echoed on the river, and huge warships sailed out of the water stronghold through the waves and headed for the river in a mighty way. After killing him, Gan Ning stood on the main boat of three thousand shi, staring sharply at the river.

He knew very well that as long as they defeated the Jiangdong army in this battle, they would be the masters of the water in the south. Seeing that the fleet had spread out on the water, Gan Ning shouted: "Beat the drums and set up the formation!"

'Boom!Boom!Boom! The drums sounded like thunder, and warships gathered one after another. The morale of the soldiers was high, and they were looking forward to a battle with the Hejiang East Army to compete for the supremacy of the water.
