Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 894

After Liu Wei settled the matter of the crown prince, the capital returned to stability. All the princes were punished to varying degrees, and they no longer dared to peek at the position of the crown prince.

Kyoto has returned to its former prosperity and is thriving.

Besides, Jiangdong is completely different from Kyoto. The war has entered an anxious stage. Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are fighting in Jiangzhou, and there will be winners and losers. .

The only army sent to Deng Ai in Jiangdong also had to retreat because of isolation and helplessness.

They withdrew to Shouchun and defended the city with the soldiers and horses in Sun Quan's hands.

As soon as the soldiers and horses arrived in Shouchun, the troubles of the two sides joining forces continued.

First, the soldiers and horses of the two sides looked at each other disliked, and almost fought with weapons.If Deng Ai and Sun Quan hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the soldiers and horses of the two sides would really fight.

Deng Ai was afraid that they would suffer losses in the city, so he discussed with Sun Quan and wanted to separate Shouchun City. They stationed in the north of the city, and Sun Quan's army stationed at the city gate to avoid conflicts, but how could Sun Quan hand over the city defense of Shouchun to an outsider? , then repeatedly blocked, but did not agree.

Deng Ai was so angry that he had no choice but to lead troops out of the city to set up a barracks.

But Sun Quan still disagreed. The reason was that if Sun Ce made a surprise attack, he would not be able to go out of the city to rescue him. If he rescued, Sun Ce might take the opportunity to attack Shouchun.

After discussing and discussing, only one conclusion was reached in the end, that is, Deng Ai led the army to station in the center of the city. Unless there was a war, the Jingzhou army must stay in the barracks and not go out.

Deng Ai also agreed to Sun Quan in the most helpless situation. To be honest, he really didn't want to be stationed in the center of the city. If Sun Ce came to commit an attack, he would have to march for a while if he wanted to rescue him, and it would be difficult to communicate with the outside world. How inconvenient, the Jingzhou Army originally came from afar, it is considered an expeditionary army, fighting in a foreign land, and then cutting off their contact with the outside world, what is the difference between them and going to jail!
"General, are we in the middle of the city? Are we being protected?"

After Deng Ai returned to the barracks from Sun Quan, some generals protested dissatisfied.

"Hey, bear with it, also, I don't know how the king of Chu will return, return, matter, I haven't given it to me for so many days, I, I ordered, and no reinforcements came over!"

Deng Ai also sighed.

"General, I heard that the King of Chu led the army to fight the Sichuan Army in Jiangzhou City. He must not be able to spare any troops to support us. When the King of Chu defeats the Sichuan Army, he will be able to support us!"

A general spoke up.

Deng Ai is a smart man, he understands what his generals say, but he doesn't understand why Liu Bei doesn't let him withdraw to Jingzhou. If he withdraws to Jingzhou and join forces with Liu Bei, he can defeat the Sichuan army as soon as possible, and then come to manage Jiangdong's affairs , Divide the troops into two places like this, dragging on both sides, there is no benefit at all.

"I, I, I will write a letter to the King of Chu, requesting to withdraw from Jingzhou!"

Deng Ai stayed here enough, Sun Ce didn't come to attack the city at all, but kept sending troops to harass, but that idiot Sun Quan was frightened by Sun Ce, even if he knew it was harassing him, he still had to deal with it with [-] points. Demancheng soldiers are worried and exhausted every day.

"General, why don't we wait a little longer. This Sun Quan is a puppet supported by the King of Chu. If we withdraw at this time, then Sun Quan will undoubtedly be defeated. How can the King of Chu not be angry when he loses this piece of land!"

Deng Ai has sensible generals under him, knowing that even if Deng Ai wrote to Liu Bei, Liu Bei would not let them withdraw.

"Then just wait!"

Deng Ai nodded in agreement.

Therefore, Deng Ai led an army of tens of thousands to station in Shouchun City.

Besides, Sun Ce, although he had the upper hand in battle, but he didn't have enough soldiers and horses. If he attacked by force, he might not be able to win Shouchun. barracks.

This is also a helpless move for Sun Ce. As a result, the people in Jiangdong who originally supported Sun Ce changed their hearts, and they all cursed Sun Ce as a tyrant.

When Sun Ce recruited [-] to [-] soldiers, he stopped the conscription and led the army to surround Shouchun, preparing to take Shouchun.

"Bo Fu, I don't think we should rush to attack Shouchun in this matter. Our soldiers and horses have not yet been trained into an army. Attacking Shouchun at this time will only increase casualties!"

Regarding Sun Ce's eagerness to attack Shouchun, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had a disagreement.

But Sun Ce replied: "War is the best way to train soldiers. These recruits have never seen blood, so it is useless to train them. Only those who survived the war can be said to be elite. Besides, the soldiers in Shouchun City There are not many horses, and I estimate that if you lose 3 or [-] horses, you can win Shouchun!"

"But have you ever thought about it? The soldiers have not been trained. Once there are large-scale casualties, they will become afraid of fighting. I am afraid that a large number of soldiers will flee!"

Zhou Yu said worriedly again.

"Don't worry, Gong Jin. This time we have 10 to [-] soldiers and [-] veterans. I will form a supervising team. Anyone who dares to escape will be executed on the spot!"

Since the people in Jiangdong no longer supported him, Sun Ce decided to make a mistake and make them fear him.

"Hey, since Bofu has already made a decision, I won't say anything more, but when will Bofu plan to attack Shouchun?"

Sun Ce replied: "There is no time to delay. Now that the decision has been made, let's do it immediately. We will send troops to surround Shouchun tomorrow, and attack the city the day after tomorrow!"

Sun Ce has always acted vigorously and resolutely.

"it is good!"

Zhou Yu nodded and retreated.

In the early morning of the second day, Sun Ce led the army to march out, arrived outside Shouchun City that night, and surrounded the four gates of Shouchun.

Zhou Yu was puzzled again: "Bo Fu, the siege of the city has always been to encircle three gates, and give the soldiers and horses in the city a day to retreat. Why do you surround the four gates? In this way, the soldiers and horses in the city have no way to retreat, and they will inevitably fight with each other. Our army will fight to the death!"

"Gongjin, I have defeated Sun Zhongmou several times, but he is like a centipede, dead but not stiff. If I defeat him once, he will retreat one city. According to this style of play, how long will I have to fight to regain Jiangdong? , So, even if the casualties are huge, I will keep this bastard, Sun Bofu, here to avoid future troubles!"

"How can it be so simple, Sun Bofu is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

Zhou Yu thought to himself.But he didn't say anything, because Sun Ce is a stubborn guy, once he decides something, ten cows can't pull it back, so instead of persuading him, it's better to let him go!
