Chapter 370: The End

Shouchun, the meeting related to the demise of the Wu army has always been delayed, and the results have not been seen for a long time.

Sun Quan's diplomatic efforts to restore the Eastern Han Empire were in vain, and failed when Liu Feng commanded the officials and people of the four states to report to Liu Bei.

Liu Feng led the Yanzhou Mu and Che Cavalry generals with the King of Yan, with Cao Zhi as the Yan Xiang and Cao Xiu as the general of the Yan Kingdom.

Diplomatic means failed, and there were not many options in front of Wu Jun, and each choice had a series of hidden dangers.

Sun Quan has been unable to get an idea for a long time, and every choice may bring about destruction.

At this time, every general who can speak and express his stance is silent, and no one can bear such a big responsibility.

The meeting dragged on not because of an argument, but because of silence.

In this silent environment, Zheng Quan, who was originally sent to Puyangjin, was depressed and overdrunk every day, paralyzed by the wind and evil, and was seriously ill.

Like too many of his colleagues, Pan Jun also came to visit Zheng Quan.

When he came, Zheng Quan was on the verge of dying, and unlike many people, Zheng Quan opened his mouth and was poured wine by his son.

Pan Jun and the others looked at each other, watching the drunkard drink when he was dying.

didn't say a word to Zheng Quan, just watched Zheng Quan's breath.

Several of Zheng Quan's friends also have the same hobbies, and read Zheng Quan's will in public.

According to Zheng Quan's will, his body will be buried frugally, without changing exquisite clothes, and without a coffin, or he will be buried in the soil where the potters take the soil, and after a hundred years, the flesh and bones will turn into mud and dust, and the potters will be made into wine vessels, and they will be able to drink raw wine, drink dead, and sleep with wine for a long time; Then either his body will be cremated and the ashes will be used to make a wine vessel.

The second one was so shocking that he had to compromise and bury him in the soil where the potters took the soil.

"Calcining the ashes into a wine vessel is in line with Zheng Wenyuan's original intention, this crazy person, it's a pity that his son is not good."

On the way back, Pan Jun sighed with emotion, and the two sons who followed him were silent, always feeling that this was saying that the two of them had blunt qualifications.

The current situation of Wu is becoming more and more dangerous, and Pan Jun is walking on thin ice, afraid of colliding with the internal and external trends and being crushed into powder.

Now that the 120,000 troops are stationed in the Shouchun area, and the spring ploughing is imminent, is it to rely on Huaishui and Shaobi to implement the military tun, or to withdraw the army?

If the military tun is executed, will it cooperate with the Wei army to flank Liu Feng after the summer harvest?

During the attack on Liu Feng, the main force of the Han army went down the Yangtze River and went straight to Jiangdong, so wouldn't the efforts and layout of the Central Plains become a joke?

Therefore, it is necessary to withdraw troops, and to accelerate the withdrawal of troops.

The Han army retreated back to Jingzhou at the beginning of the month, and after spring ploughing, it could attack at any time.

With the current size of the Han army, the size of a partial army is between 30,000 and 50,000, which is enough to make Jiangdong chickens fly and dogs jump.

Only by quickly withdrawing troops can the foundation be preserved, Jiangdong is the foundation, and losing Jiangdong, the army is tantamount to a lost dog...... Maybe it will fall apart and disappear overnight.

But the question is just in front of him, calculating and calculating, how much effort did Sun Quan waste to get Huainan land?

Isn't withdrawing troops now equivalent to doing useless work before?

It is very difficult for an elder brother to admit his mistakes to his younger brother, it is even more difficult for a father to admit his mistakes to his son, and it is even more difficult for a king to admit his mistakes to his courtiers...... Not only difficult but also dangerous.

Let Sun Quan admit that diplomacy has failed? Admitting that the fraudulent acquisition of Huainan is a failed strategy?

If no diplomatic means were taken, Wu Jun took the initiative to retreat to Jiangdong, how could there be so many things now?

The size and combat power of the Wu army determine the scope of choice, first of all, the army is divided into two parts, and the army is stationed in Huainan and Jiangdong, so Huainan can't stop Liu Feng, Zang Ba, Cao Xiu, and Jiangdong can't stop the Han army.

Therefore, the Wu army either ignores the spring ploughing, and sends troops to fight Liu Feng now, and before the Han army makes any moves, destroy Liu Feng's spring ploughing, and then the main force quickly returns to defend Jiangdong.

The result of the battle was that Liu Feng's spring cultivation was affected, and after the summer harvest and autumn harvest, he could only barely hold on to defend against the attack of the Wei army; And the Wu army left more than 10,000 people, so they can hold Shouchun and Hefei.

The price is that Jiangdong's spring plowing and production will be abandoned, and in the next two years, we can only stick to it and make savings.

Either symbolically leave a small part of the troops to defend Yushouchun and Hefei, and the main force will return to Jiangdong to resist the Han army.

The result of the battle is that there is a greater certainty of repelling the Han army's partial division and keeping the main body of Jiangdong; The price is that they are unable to continue to interfere in the Central Plains, and this retreat makes it difficult for the generals and military officials to muster up the courage to come to the Central Plains again.

How to choose, everyone has a scale in their hearts.

So far, there has been no result, that is, he is worried about Sun Quan's face, so that the whole army is sluggish, and everything is like knowing it later.

Pan Jun was also worried about this problem on the surface, and if he really wanted to make a choice, there was nothing to hesitate, upholding the fine tradition of the Han army, bumping into it first, and then talking about a fight.

Immediately raise troops to the north, first destroy Liu Feng's spring ploughing production, Liu Feng is just established after all, and urgently needs to rest the internal wounds, appease the panic of the people, and gradually establish his prestige.

A military confrontation occurred on the occasion of spring ploughing, which was enough to crush Liu Feng's prestige in governing the people, and without two or three years of recuperation, Liu Feng could not take action externally, which was tantamount to abolishing Liu Feng's ability to act.

As for delaying one's spring plowing and savings...... There is nothing to be afraid of, anyway, it will be difficult to interfere with the outside world in the future, just close the door and recuperate from the wounds of war.

When Liu Feng regains the ability to interfere with foreign countries, his own side will also recover.

Calculate the time, Liu Bei should not be able to hold it at that time, and at that time, it happened that the coalition forces helped Liu Feng fight the civil war and seize the throne.

There is a Han in the south, and there is still a Han in the east, and it has returned to the situation that Sun Quan sought by diplomatic means, and he can be the king of Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that he thinks of things, and Sun Quan can also think of it, Sun Quan didn't force the implementation of this strategy, and maybe Sun Quan also has other concerns.

For example, he was unwilling to be a vassal to Liu Bei's son.

There is no psychological or facial obstacle to Liu Xie's ministers, everyone is Liu Xie's subjects, and it is nothing to turn around and surrender again.

It's nothing to call Cao Pi a minister, but Liu Feng rose suddenly, just because he was Liu Bei's son, and he had a big foundation with empty gloves, and he was so anxious to surrender, his face was really gloomy.

If you help Liu Feng fight the throne war, it is equivalent to helping Liu Feng grab the throne of his son-in-law Liu Chan...... How to look at things and how to tangled.

Pan Jun is very aware of the various reasons why things have developed to this point, so naturally he will not jump out to help Sun Quan lift the rope sleeve...... This will definitely not win Sun Quan's favor.

And the current situation, Sun Quan also knows how it was caused step by step, and thinks about it to summarize the answer...... Inside, inside and out, everyone has bad intentions.

No, Zhuge Ziyu is an exception, but it's a pity that Zhuge Ziyu stayed in Jianye and was guarding his home for him.

If Zhuge Jin was with the army, he might be able to stand up at this moment, take the initiative to take responsibility, persuade himself to retreat, and bring the army back completely.

fought with Liu Feng, and the victory and defeat were five or five; To fight Liu Bei, you must go all out.

In this round of the Northern Expedition alone, it is estimated that the Han army has won, not to mention anything else, the light cavalry can expand by at least 4,000 cavalry; As for the iron armor, the Han army captured at least 50,000 sets.

What does this mean?

It means that in the next round of the Han army's northern expedition to the Central Plains, the Han army's armored strength will be stronger, and the Wei army will refuse to fight in the field and be beaten passively with the help of the fortified city.

It means that the initiative in the war has fully fallen into the hands of the Han army, and if there is no great turnaround, Jiangdong may not be able to hold out for ten years.

People have a beginning and an end.

Maybe I won't even have a decent funeral.

Just when Sun Quan was worried and sighed to himself, Zhuge Ke, who inherited Zhuge Jin's fine family style, mustered up the courage to meet Sun Quan with the mentality of becoming benevolent if he did not succeed, and persuaded Sun Quan to withdraw his troops.

Zhuge Ke came dressed in white and was ready to commit suicide and apologize.

It can be said that with the retreat of the Wu army, this tripartite battle that began on October 25 in the first year of the Xia calendar finally ended on February 22 in the second year of the Xia calendar.

February 22 of the second year of the summer calendar, that is, the 24th day of the first month of the second year of Han Zhangwu.
