"Smack!"

In the coalition camp, Sun Quan looked at the information in his hand, and the cup he was holding in his left hand suddenly fell to the ground.

"How so? How so? ”

Seeing this, Lu Xun hurriedly asked, "Lord, what happened, please?" ”

Sun Quan's right hand holding the letter was visibly trembling.

"Gong Yi died in battle, Youping didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and none of the 10,000 surprise attacks on the naval army of Hangu Pass escaped back."

When Lu Xun heard this, his face also changed greatly, and he shouted: "How is it possible? ”

Sun Quan also felt unbelievable, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

"In this matter, you must ask Zhuge Liang for an explanation!"

Thinking of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and then thinking of Cheng Pu and Han Dang who died in battle, Sun Quan suddenly had a trace of resentment towards Zhuge Liang.

Since the war with the Guanzhong army, Eastern Wu has not only lost many soldiers and horses, but even the generals have been killed in four.

This kind of blow, even with Sun Quan's city government, is a little unbearable.

When Lu Xun heard Sun Quan's words, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "This matter must not be done. ”

Sun Quan said angrily: "The generals under my command have been damaged again and again, how can I not ask Zhuge Liang for an explanation?" ”

Lu Xun persuaded bitterly: "When the strategy was formulated, everyone made it together, and the lord and everyone in Eastern Wu also participated. ”

"Although Zhuge Liang is the nominal commander of the coalition army, he has to follow everyone's advice many times, even if Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are killed in battle, it is no wonder that Zhuge Liang is there."

"It can only be said that Guanzhong military chess is one move higher."

When Sun Ce was still in charge of Jiangdong, he had already made friends with Lu Xun, and in terms of trust, Lu Xun's status in Sun Quan's heart was even far greater than Zhou Yu.

Lu Xun also knew that the person who was a confidant would die, so he would spare no effort to persuade Sun Quan.

Guy Sun Quan is now asking Zhuge Liang for an explanation, not only will he not get any results, but it will destroy the harmony of the alliance, and even make others look down on him.

"Lord, please calm down."

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said: "But you don't know if you're alive or dead, how do you let Gu calm down?" ”

Like Lu Xun, when Sun Quan had not yet made a fortune, Sun Quan asked Sun Ce for Zhou Tai and let him always be by his side.

Not only that, Zhou Tai has repeatedly saved Sun Quan's life, and although the relationship between the two is that of a monarch and a minister, they are actually brothers.

Even Tai Shici, the number one general in Eastern Wu, has a status in Sun Quan's heart, which is completely inferior to Zhou Tai.

It's not that Zhou Tai is better than Tai Shi Ci, it's just that Zhou Yu and Tai Shi Ci are Sun Ce's cronies, and Lu Xun and Zhou Tai are Sun Quan's cronies.

Even if Zhou Yu and Tai Shici now recognize Sun Quan as the master, Sun Quan trusts his henchmen even more.

Therefore, after learning the news that Zhou Tai's life and death were unknown, Sun Quan lost his square inch a little and was ready to go to Zhuge Liang to ask for an explanation.

Lu Xun persuaded bitterly: "Jiang Qin's death and Zhou Tai's death, in the final analysis, the Guanzhong Army is to blame." ”

"If the lord wants to avenge them, not only can he not go to Zhuge Liang for trouble, but he must take the initiative to ask for war and defeat Chen Wenzhao as soon as possible."

Sun Quan said: "Since the outbreak of the war, Eastern Wu has suffered heavy casualties, do you still want to take the initiative to ask for war?" ”

Lu Xun said: "Does the lord know why he joined the alliance in the first place, if he retreats due to a temporary setback, or even makes the alliance unstable, won't it give Chen Wenzhao a chance to take advantage of?" ”

"This time the princes attack Chen, it is also the most likely opportunity to defeat Chen Wenzhao, if it can't be successful, then the big thing will go, and I hope the lord will think twice."

Hearing this, Sun Quan calmed down.

Seeing that Sun Quan's face was slightly softened, Lu Xun persuaded again: "Thinking about Cao Mengde, his brother Xiahou Yuan was also killed in this battle, and the King of Qi never said anything. ”

"The lord's temperament is far greater than Cao Mengde's, and his overall view is no worse than Cao Mengde's, how can he go to question Zhuge Liang because of this matter?"

Lu Xun's words somewhat exaggerated Sun Quan, but Sun Quan liked to listen to it very much.

However, Zhuge Liang is now the commander of the Four Kingdoms, and if Sun Quan goes to ask for an explanation now, it will definitely hit Zhuge Liang's prestige and sow the seeds of discord among the coalition forces.

Once the coalition forces can't work together, sooner or later they will be broken by the Guanzhong army.

Sun Quan frowned and thought for a long time, figured out the stakes inside, and then nodded helplessly.

At this moment, the soldier guarding the door walked in and said to Sun Quan: "Lord Qiqi, Mr. Zhuge is here to visit. ”

Sun Quan and Lu Xun glanced at each other and said, "Please come in, Mr. Zhuge ." ”

Zhuge Liang's steps seemed a little hurried, and as soon as he entered the door, he stepped forward and bowed deeply to Sun Quan.

"The previous time, the two generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin made a surprise attack on Hangu Pass, so that the two generals were killed, and the life and death of 10,000 Dongwu naval troops were unknown, and Liang felt deeply guilty!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's face was full of shame.

After getting the news, Zhuge Liang's face also changed greatly, knowing that if Sun Quan could not be appeased, civil strife would definitely occur.

In desperation, Zhuge Liang didn't even have time to communicate with others, so he hurried to meet Sun Quan.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Sun Quan took a deep breath, stepped forward to support Zhuge Liang's arms, and said, "Mr. is not at fault for his plan, it can only be said that it is the will of heaven to make people." ”

"Sir, but please rest assured, the death of Dongwu Erlang, this kind of hatred will definitely be remembered on Chen Wenzhao, and Lone will never be embarrassed by this, sir."

"As long as Lone is still alive for a day, Mr. will be the commander of the Wu army!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then a doubt flashed in his heart.

According to his understanding of Sun Quan, Sun Quan would definitely ask him for an explanation, but he couldn't understand why he was so easy to speak.

His eyes inspected the tent slightly, and when he saw the cups that fell on the ground and the tea that was spilled all over the ground, Zhuge Liang's heart immediately tightened.

When he saw Lu Xun standing on the side, his face unchanged, he stretched his brows slightly.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, bowed again and said: "It is really admirable that King Wu can have such a mind, and the hatred of the two generals and the soldiers of Eastern Wu, we will naturally not forget." ”

"However, the surprise attack on Hangu Pass failed, and we still need to find another good solution."

The upper echelons of the coalition army gathered together again, and when they heard the news of the annihilation of the Soochow Naval Army, their faces changed drastically.

Zhuge Liang said with some heaviness: "The strategy of flooding the Tiger Prison Pass was perfectly implemented, but we suffered this great defeat in Hangu Pass. ”

"If we fail to capture Hangu Pass, there is no way to achieve the goal of the strategy we formulated at the beginning."

"What do you think about the strategy for the future?"

Instead of discussing the follow-up strategy at the first time, everyone focused on Sun Quan, wanting to see how he reacted.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Sun Quan immediately stepped forward and said, "This time I lost the two generals of Eastern Wu again, and 10,000 sons will never come back." ”

"The hatred between our Eastern Wu and Guanzhong is getting stronger and stronger, and we must support Commander Zhuge until Chen Wenzhao is destroyed!"

Sun Quan's words also showed his attitude.

When everyone heard this, they all quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then they thought a little more highly of Sun Quan.

Subsequently, the upper echelons of the coalition forces naturally began to discuss.

The results of their discussions, which coincided with Guan Chinese's martial arts, were all preparing to take Xiaopingjin and seize control of the Yellow River.

Heroes see the same thing, and that's exactly what they see.

The Eastern Wu naval army was broken and sunk in the sand at Hangu Pass, like a fuse, and the alliance of the princes then launched a full-scale attack on Mengjin.

However, with the inexhaustibility of all kinds of defensive equipment in the city, and the fact that there were more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the city, even if the coalition forces had an advantage in strength, there was no way to conquer the city.

The allied strategists offered plans together, digging tunnels, plotting rebellions, and surprise attacks, and all kinds of strategies emerged one after another, all of which were seen through by the Guanzhong strategists, and then all of them were cracked.

Later, Zhuge Liang even asked people to make big kites, and a lot of fire-burning things were hung on the kites, and then used the wind direction to fly the kites, and then cut off the silk threads.

Chen Xu watched this air raid dumbfounded, and was also amazed by Zhuge Liang's demonity.

It's just that although this tactic caused some panic in the city, it was difficult to get much success after all, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were also harassed.

Cheng Yu proposed to build an arrow tower around the city wall, so that the marksman could stay on top of the tall building, but whenever he saw the kite flying, he immediately shot it down.

And just like that, the kite tactics failed again.

Chen Xu returned an eye for an eye, and in the face of the coalition forces that came to attack the city, he was even more unscrupulous, with hot dung juice, lime powder all over the sky, and all kinds of despicable tactics were used.

The two sides went back and forth, leaving many corpses inside and outside the city of Mengjin, but no one could help anyone.

In this way, the armies of the two sides were in a stalemate, but this stalemate was very beneficial to the Guanzhong army.

At the same time, the Eastern Wu Navy was also led by Zhou Yu and began to clash with the Guanzhong Navy Army.

On the periphery of Xiaopingjin Water Village, all kinds of defensive equipment emerge in endlessly, and the entire Xiaopingjin Ferry has become a naval military fortress.

Gan Ning was on a warship, looking at the sergeant Guan who was training, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"The soldiers are now completely familiar with the captured naval warships, and it's time to turn from defense to attack."

During this time, as long as the weather is suitable, Zhou Yu will bring the Dongwu Navy to call the battle.

Gan Ning is also a high-minded and arrogant person, so he naturally wants to open the water village to fight the Dongwu naval army, but Chen Xu gave an order to let him defend the water village.

Gan Ning repeatedly wrote to ensure that he was confident of defeating the Eastern Wu naval army, but Chen Xu still did not let him go out of the village to face the battle.

In the end, he was really worn out by Gan Ning, so Chen Xu issued an order, as long as the sailors and soldiers could skillfully operate those Dongwu warships, they would agree to Gan Ning's request to go to war.

After Gan Ning got the news, he was naturally overjoyed, and let the soldiers practice on the ship day and night.

Not only that, during this time, the craftsmen still built new warships day and night, and tried to expand the strength of the Guanzhong naval army.

"Knock knock!"

Gan Ning, who was excited, suddenly heard a war drum in the distance.

"General, Zhou Yu's guy has let people come to call for battle again!"

A partial general of the navy took a warship to a position not far from Gan Ning, and his face was full of anger.

During this time, due to Gan Ning's order to defend the water village and not fight with the Dongwu Navy, the Guanzhong Navy's daily watch of the Dongwu Navy's martial arts, and they have long held back their anger.

Therefore, this general of the navy army was also very angry at this time.

Gan Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "The soldiers have just finished training, and they can already go out of the village to fight, and the thief army is now coming to call for battle, which is exactly what I want." ”

The partial general was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "If the general goes to war, he is willing to be the vanguard." ”

Gan Ning scolded with a smile: "I've been itching my hands for a long time, how can I let you be a pioneer?" This time, I personally led the army to defeat the thief army! ”

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

The sound of war drums rumbled, the gate of the water village that had been closed for a long time was opened, and more than 50 new warships in Guanzhong poured out of the water village in a neat line.

On the Dongwu warship, Lu Fan yawned and looked at the sky a little bored.

For such a long time, no matter how the Dongwu Navy scolded, Gan Ning was a turtle with a shrunken head, and he didn't dare to go out of the village to fight.

Therefore, the Dongwu Navy is now coming to call for battle, and it is just for show.

"General, Gan Ning has led the warship out!"

When Lu Fan was drowsy, he suddenly heard the eager shouts of the soldiers, and immediately a spirit stood up.

Lu Fan raised his eyes and saw nearly fifty warships rushing down the river, rushing towards him, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"The thief has been shrinking for so long, and he is finally willing to come out to fight, and look at me to capture the thief today!"

Another Dongwu general advised: "Gan Xingba is a famous general of Bashu, no one can stop him in the vertical and horizontal waters, and the general is still careful." ”

Lu Fan said disdainfully: "The general's absence has made the erector famous, and today I want to let this Gan Xingba see how powerful I am." ”

"Pass my military orders, set up an offensive formation, wind up your bow and arrows, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Knock knock!"

The war drums sounded, and the Dongwu Navy suddenly showed an amazing combat quality, and the formation was quickly arranged, and the soldiers were also ready to fight.

I have to say that in terms of the quality of the navy alone, neither the Yizhou navy nor the Jingzhou navy can be compared with the sergeants of the Dongwu navy.

Gan Ning stood at the bow of the ship and saw the Wu army warships lined up downstream, and immediately said disdainfully: "It's really looking for death!" ”

"Pass on my military order, the warship will launch with all its strength and crash down!"

"Bow and arrows wound, ready to shoot!"

"Hook Scratcher ready to board at any time!"

With Gan Ning's order, the warship, which was still slow, but just went down the river at its usual speed, suddenly burst out with an astonishing speed.

Lu Fan fantasized about capturing Gan Ning alive and then becoming famous all over the world, but when he saw the speed of the Guanzhong warship that suddenly burst out, he was immediately shocked.

"This kind of warship doesn't seem to be our captured ships."

The new warships in Guanzhong, those iron sheets wrapped in the bow, emitted a dazzling light under the sun.

Coupled with that terrifying speed, even Lu Fan's face changed drastically.

"U-turn, U-turn, retreat!"

Lu Fan was also a general of the navy, and immediately gave the order to withdraw the troops.

Gan Ning watched the Dongwu warship turn around, and after fleeing without a fight, he immediately sneered: "Can you escape?" ”
