Chapter 788 Reunion
Hearing the news, Sun Quan was excited to resurrect with full blood, and the whole person was radiant, and immediately ordered someone to arrange a banquet, and couldn't wait to go out of the city to greet him.
After receiving the two generals Cheng and Huang, Sun Quan's heart finally settled, with these 80,000 troops, not to mention the counterattack, there must be no problem in defending the city.
can be suppressed for so long, will Sun Quan honestly defend the city?
Back in the city, Sun Quan made a big fanfare and made the biggest noise, so that the people of the city knew that the Jiangxia army would return to help, and Yangzhou would return to Sun's dominant situation.
Sun Quan's move was to calm the people's hearts and make those officials who surrendered to the Lord shut their mouths.
This move still has some effect, and Yuzhang City, which is panicked, is finally a lot more stable.
After a big meal, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai rested overnight, and went to meet early in the morning without waiting for Sun Quan to summon them, ready to discuss how to choose next.
When Sun Quan learned that the two were coming, he thought for a while, gathered all the officials, and prepared to be in front of everyone to lift his mind.
When everyone arrived, Sun Quan opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, my brother sent an army of 80,000 to come, what is the intention, don't use Quan to say." ”
"So in this battle, our army can only win, not defeat, let alone surrender, if someone says to surrender again, the light one will be dismissed, and the heavy one will be razed by the three clans!"
In fact, there is no need for Sun Quan to put down his cruel words, these lords will not jump out again, after all, they want to surrender, but the situation is just forced.
"Second son, rest assured, we will fight Li Jun to the death."
Although he knew that most of these were perfunctory, Sun Quan was still very satisfied. "Okay, we will unite as one, and Li Jun will be able to drive them out of Yangzhou."
"General Cheng Pu listened to the order and ordered you to lead an army of 40,000 to meet Zhang Liao and recapture Lujiang, and General Huang Gai listened to the order and ordered you to lead an army of 40,000 to recapture Huiji."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhao's face changed, his body shook and his mouth squirmed a few times, and finally he sat still a little helplessly.
At this time, it is not an opportunity to counterattack at all, only to defend the city and wait for changes, Sun Quan is so anxious, in case these armies are defeated or eliminated again, then Yangzhou will no longer have the ability to resist.
If you don't take the initiative to attack, when the Li army finishes cleaning up the remnants of Huiji and Lujiang, and comes together, if you are defeated, the result will be the same, but it will be delayed for some time.
Since there is not much difference between the left and right, Zhang Zhao suppressed his inner uneasiness, and he was not in front of everyone, dissuading Sun Quan, lest his prestige just set up be damaged.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai heard the order, their eyebrows furrowed slightly, they glanced at each other, and then hugged their fists and led their orders away.
"The second son can rest assured, he will not disgrace his mission."
"The second son can rest assured, he will not disgrace his mission."
As soon as the two left, Sun Quan continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, during the war, everything is mainly war, and if anyone delays anything related to military affairs, he will be killed. ”
The meaning of Sun Quan's words is to warn those who have different ideas that it is best not to touch the bottom line at this time.
Sun Quan's warning doesn't mean much, in fact, in their hearts, they are more inclined to Sun, after all, they are used to it, if they switch to Li Huiyi, who knows if there will be any changes.
Sun Quan sorted out the interior here, launched a counterattack with great fanfare, and Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and others, who learned the news, all slowed down, apparently trying to keep Sun Jun away from Yuzhang as much as possible.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai didn't know about this move, what they were thinking about now was how to regain the lost ground.
40,000 soldiers and horses, compared to the scattered Li army, still has a numerical advantage, but Cheng and Huang did not dare to be careless, because they knew that in terms of weapons, the difference between the two was not a little bit and a half.
If you want to win this battle, you can only look for an opportunity to fight with Li Jun, otherwise you will only be defeated, and there will be no chance of victory.
The armies of the two sides were getting closer and closer, and in order to avoid being raided, they both released scouts, each of them investigated, and advanced slowly, and finally the two sides camped ten miles apart.
All of them are in the wilderness, there is no danger to defend, it is all up to the generals to strategize, or the soldiers to fight bravely, so both sides arrange a large number of patrol soldiers.
Cheng Pu set up a large camp, and hurried to Li Junzhai to observe not far away, wanting to find flaws, and he just happened to meet Zhang Liao, who had the same idea.
The two soldiers did not bring much, and at this time, the victory or defeat was really difficult to say, and if the main general died in battle, then it would definitely have a significant impact on the battle situation.
Zhang Liao said that he didn't have much desire to fight, but Cheng Pu was ready to move, but remembering that he was defeated in Zhang Liao's hands back then, he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
The two sides were deadlocked for a while, Zhang Liao smiled on his face, and stepped forward and shouted: "General Cheng, I haven't seen you for many years, and your courage has not diminished." ”
Things are people, Cheng Pu and Li Huiyi, who had amnesia, had a deep friendship, but now although they have not met, they are hostile.
And Zhang Liao at the beginning became a member of Li Huiyi, in addition to saying that creation makes people, what else can Cheng Pu say.
Putting away his thoughts of running away, Cheng Pu shouted back: "Yes, General Zhang's demeanor has not diminished back then, it seems that God let you and me reunite, and decided to distinguish between life and death back then." ”
"Hahaha." Zhang Liaohao said with a smile: "General Cheng, nephew Cheng Hu, but he is an adult, and he is now being taught in the General's Academy, I think it will be a few years before he will become the general's favorite general, do you want father and son to fight on the battlefield?" ”
Hearing this, Cheng Pu's heart trembled, this was something he had never wanted to remember, and now that he was mentioned, his heart suddenly became chaotic.
When he was down, if Sun Jian hadn't saved his life, I am afraid that he would have become loess, so Cheng Pu has always regarded his life as a gift from Sun Jian, and followed the Sun family loyally, so that the northern family is small and has not seen each other for more than ten years.
"Hahaha, if my son can really lead an army, he will die at his hands, and he will have no regrets."
Seeing that Cheng Pu was so loyal to the Sun family, Zhang Liao smiled and said in a tight tone: "General Cheng, you are loyal, but your nephew has to bear a lifetime of pain. ”
"Also, Jiangxia has been occupied by Wei Yan, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu's life and death are unknown, and the rest of the people have all surrendered to our army, and the general trend has gone, does General Cheng still have to resist to the death?"
What the?
Jiangxia is lost, it is impossible, with the presence of the metropolitan governor, it is impossible for Wei Yan to break through in a short time.
Cheng Pu's eyes widened angrily and said: "Zhang Liao, you are talking nonsense, you want to disturb our army's heart, this three-year-old child doesn't believe it, you actually said it!" ”
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Cheng Pu, is it necessary for me Zhang Liao to be like this, in an open and righteous battle, what are the chances of your army winning?" ”
Well?
Zhang Liao really didn't need to lie, could it be that Jiangxia was really lost?
But even if it is lost, it is impossible for so many generals in Jiangxia to surrender all?
In the end, what Zhang Liao said, how true is it?
If so, is there any need to fight?
Cheng Pu completely lost his heart and didn't know how to do it, with his current state, if he wanted to win Zhang Liao, the chances were even more empty.
