The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 360 Sun Quansheng intends to retire

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Amidst the sound of thundering drums, Wei Tao and Sun Quan led their respective armies facing each other. Although Wei Tao easily wiped out Sun Quan's reinforcements, in fact Sun Quan's current army is not much smaller than Wei Tao's.

And even in terms of morale, because of Wei Tao's series of actions, the soldiers under his command were more courageous, everyone wanted to be the first, and there was no sign of being weak at all.

"Oh! What a Sun Quan, is he planning to fight me here and then defend Jiangxia here? If so, it would be a good idea, but Sun Quan is not afraid of too many casualties after the battle with our army, so let Cao Cao and others The fisherman will benefit and attack Jiangdong directly?"

Before Wei Tao and Zhou Yu made the decision that Sun Quan could retreat without fighting, it was precisely because there was no covenant between Sun Quan and Cao Cao, and it was probably because of the first attack.

But now, Wei Tao also understands that this Sun Quan is indeed a generation of heroes. After the loss of his own reinforcements, he still leads the army to fight, and looking at his morale is strong, if the two armies are facing each other, Wei Tao dare not say it win.

But Wei Tao is Wei Tao after all, and Sun Quan is not enough to make him afraid, so let's talk about it now.

"Let's wait for me to go into battle again and see what their military looks are like!"

Wei Tao is the commander-in-chief of the first army, so it is natural that no one will refute him, and Wei Tao's strength is recognized by Wei Tao's army.

Wei Tao was not at all polite when he got to the front of the battle, he kept pointing at Changji and shouted loudly.

"Wei Tao is here, who dares to come and compete with me!"

"I have heard for a long time that the general is wise and brave, how can he go into battle like a man?"

Seeing Wei Tao walking to the front of the formation, Sun Quan also knew that he could not retreat no matter what, so he went up to the front of the formation immediately, staring at Wei Tao with a pair of eyes and said.

"Wei Tao! You insulted my Jiangdong soldiers so much the day before yesterday, and you treated me like no one in Jiangdong, so today I want to compete with you!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I, Wei Tao, am here today. No matter how many soldiers you Jiangdong send out, I will fight with all my strength. How dare you, Jiangdong, fight!"

Hearing Sun Quan's words, Wei Tao couldn't help but sneered, he didn't respond to his words at all, but continued to challenge, and the sound shook the audience, making the Jiangdong soldiers furious.

"If you don't dare to surrender so early, I will let you be disarmed and returned to the people, and there will be no further consideration! If they fight together, then both sides will compete according to their own abilities. When the time comes, they will die under the strong attack of our army, but just Don’t blame our army for being unpredictable!”

Wei Tao's momentum is awe-inspiring, and he has the reputation of being invincible in a hundred battles, but everyone who has heard of it is fearful and secretly thinking about the way out, and the anger that was originally high is all quelled.

Of course, there are many heroes in Jiangdong, and some generals became even more angry after hearing Wei Tao's words. One of them didn't care much, and rushed out directly, rushing to the front of the formation and pointing his spear directly.

"I am Ling Cao! Wei Tao! Your subordinate Gan Ning killed my father! Today I will fight with you first, and then I will kill Gan Ning's dog thief to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!"

Ling Tong is a young general. It can be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Wei Tao's actions had already made him furious, but he was temporarily unable to attack due to Sun Quan's order. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he led the army out directly, and came to compete with Wei Tao.

However, upon hearing Ling Tong's words, Gan Ning was enraged after the battle, and immediately galloped out, at the same time addressing Wei Tao.

"My lord, how can I use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? Let me, Gan Xingba, get rid of these youngsters!"

Seeing that it was Gan Ning coming up, Wei Tao naturally couldn't do anything to hinder him, he nodded slightly, and let Gan Ning go into battle.

"Okay! I'll just see what Xingba means!"

"Gan Ning is here, baby, you'd better go home and nurse! Since your father is not my opponent, how can you be my enemy? I let you go with good intentions. If you don't appreciate it, I will definitely Cut you off under the horse, it will be too late to regret!"

After receiving Wei Tao's promise, Gan Ning was immediately overjoyed, and shouted loudly at Ling Tong!
If other people were like this, with Wei Tao as his goal, Ling Tong probably wouldn't pay any attention to it, but it's different if it's Gan Ning.

The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable. Even if Sun Quan wanted to stop him at this time, Ling Tong would not pay any attention to it. The figure staring at Gan Ning with a pair of tiger eyes almost burst into flames. The horse under the crotch rushed towards Gan Ning.

"Gan Ning! Today I will use your head to pay homage to the soul of my father!"

It has to be said that the general Ling Tong still has a bit of courage, he urged the horse to come straight, and saw that he was very sharp, but who was Gan Ning?

Gan Ning himself is a brave person, not to mention that because of commanding the navy, his reputation under Wei Tao's command has never been obvious. It was not until the start of the Jingzhou War that he showed his skills. All eighteen skills were used.

"Clang clang clang..."

When the two types of weapons confront each other, they all use their full strength, and they seem to be evenly divided.

"Hehe... Xingba's martial arts has improved again."

But that's just how ordinary people see it. From Wei Tao's point of view, Gan Ning has the upper hand between the two parties. Victory is only a matter of time, so he couldn't help but nodded silently.

Since Wei Tao believed that Gan Ning could win, he set his sights on Sun Quan again.

"Sun Zhongmou, since you are the leader of Jiangdong, do you dare to fight me? If you can win, I will withdraw from Jingzhou and hand over the entire Jingzhou to you. If you lose, how about getting out of Jiangxia?"

Wei Tao's words were very blunt, as if he didn't take Sun Quan seriously at all, but facing Wei Tao so Sun Quan, Sun Quan didn't even lift his eyelids this time, and ordered left and right, and saw Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Zhu Zhi and others will rush out.

Although Wei Tao has the strength to fight the crowd with one, but Wei Tao does not have enough benefits, but he will not deliberately fight the crowd with one.

At this time, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were polarized, or they hated themselves extremely, wishing to die together, or they were terrified in their hearts, and they already wanted to run away.

No matter how well Wei Tao showed his martial prowess, there would be no greater results.

So after seeing the other party like this again, Wei Tao immediately sneered and swung his long halberd. Zhao Yun, Yu Jin, Pan Zhang, etc. also rushed out from the formation behind him, and collided with the other party fiercely.

"Sun Zhongmou, I didn't expect you to be a coward, but do you really think I have no one under my command?"

This time Wei Tao didn't make a move, he just stood by to fight for his generals, seeing that the two sides couldn't tell the winner, he smiled at Sun Quan again.

"If your calculation is like this, then you can go back to Jiangdong immediately!"

"Wei Tao! Arrogance!"

After repeated provocations, Sun Quan remained unmoved. Although he uttered evil words, he finally endured it.

"My lord, I'm afraid Sun Quan really has the intention to quit!"

After seeing Sun Quan's deeds, Zhou Yu walked to Wei Tao in front of the formation and said slowly.

"Now only the generals under his command are allowed to fight with the lord. The purpose is to let him vent his grievances, and at the same time warn our army, and use force to deter him. Of course, if Sun Quan uses this to delay time, so that his subordinates can evacuate Jiang Xia. It is also possible. Jiang Dong The population is sparsely populated, and the land is sparsely populated. This is the reason why Sun Quan has not many soldiers under his command even though he occupies Jiangdong. The reason why he wanted to attack Jing and Yang is not only to occupy the territory, but also to plunder the population To enrich the meaning of Jiangdong."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao remained silent for a while, glanced again, and finally nodded slowly after looking carefully for a while.

Wei Tao, who has been through battles for a long time, can tell that although Sun Quan also gathered a large number of troops, he used swords and shields in front of the formation, and archers behind. after that.

If he really rushed to the battle forcefully, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to win in the end. Even if he can win, it may only be a miserable victory.

If Wei Tao's goal at this time is Jiang Xia, then Wei Tao can naturally sit quietly and wait for Sun Quan to retreat on his own.

But Wei Tao's goal is obviously not just Jiang Xia.

Wei Tao's goal has long been to include Jiangdong completely, which makes Wei Tao hesitate a bit, whether he wants to send troops here to attack.

After all, compared with the navy, Wei Tao's land soldiers are stronger, more numerous, and easier to replenish.

"Gong Jin, you also know why I asked for this battle. Now that the battle is going well, I will definitely not be able to respond in time after I win Cao Cao and Liu Bei. But after this battle, I am afraid whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or even Sun Quan. , will be fully on guard against our army, and there is absolutely no such good opportunity, and I am afraid that if our army makes a move at that time, there will be wars everywhere. So, what should I do?"

What Wei Tao said was naturally worrying in his heart, and such a decision was naturally not easy to make.

But Zhou Yu was Zhou Yu after all, and he would never let Wei Tao down. After a while of contemplation, he made a decision for Wei Tao.

"If you want to take what you want, you must give it first. If my lord fights Zhou Yu to the death at this time, not only will the army be lost and the general will be costly, but it will also be contrary to common sense. I am afraid that Sun Quan will become more vigilant. At that time, what the lord thinks will not be true." If so, the lord might as well let him go back first, and then go down the river immediately, just to catch him off guard."

Having said that, Zhou Yu paused slightly, and then smiled again.

"What's more, if Sun Quan retreats at this time, it is true that he can protect his own strength, but it will also make Jiangdong's soldiers fear our army from now on. The army has no fighting spirit. It is precisely because the lord persuades Jiangdong to surrender!"

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Wei Tao also agreed with himself, and couldn't help smiling.

"That's fine, at least our army will occupy Jiangxia, and if we capture Fancheng, we can take all of Jingzhou, and half of the situation in the world will be settled!"
