390 Generals ask for battle

Qiantang, which is now Hangzhou, has a very advantageous geographical location, as long as you get Qiantang, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Zhejiang.

Zhejiang, is the name of a river, originated in She County, the upstream is called the Fuchun River in later generations, and the downstream is the famous Qiantang River.

However, at this time, Zhejiang has not been divided into two, it is still a whole. In addition, the population and agricultural development of the Jiangnan region are not as good as those in the north, and the Jiangnan region has not yet formed a large-scale main grain producing area, and the aborigines in the territory still belong to the mountain people who have not been naturalized.

With Zhejiang as the boundary, the south belongs to Huiji County, the northeast belongs to Wu County, the northwest is Danyang County, Qiantang is at the mouth of Zhejiang, occupying Qiantang, which is equivalent to holding the traffic lifeline from Huiji County to Wu County, and Qiantang is only less than 200 miles away from Shanyin, the county town of Huiji County.

After Chen Deng occupied Wucheng, he did not make too many stops, and led Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Liang Xi and other generals to attack Qiantang directly, and he wanted to occupy Qiantang as quickly as possible and hold the lifeline of transportation to Wu County.

Ryomao was left behind in Wucheng to take charge of the aftermath, pacifying the Han people and Shanyue people in the territory while cleaning up the remnants of the Sun clan.

Two days later, Chen Deng's army arrived at the city of Qiantang, because of the speed of Chen Deng's army, so that the county order of Qiantang had not received the news, and did not know that Chen Deng had led the army to attack it, and suddenly Chen Deng's army came to the city, and the county order was in a hurry, unable to gather troops, so he simply abandoned the city and fled.

Chen Dengbing occupied Qiantang City bloodlessly, and ordered Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to blockade Zhejiang, collect ships, and be on standby at all times.

So far. Chen Deng completed the entire content of the raid on Wu County. Garrison Qian Tang. Although they were ready to cross the river, they did not attack.

If the lone army goes deeper, it will be too disadvantageous for him, and he must stop first and send someone to inquire about the situation of the other two route armies.

At the same time, the Middle Route Army led by Lu Su and Liu Ye attacked suddenly. Danyang Taishou Lu Fan was a little caught off guard, although he led his troops to fight with Lu Su and Liu Ye, but he was defeated and retreated, not only was the whole army annihilated, but even he himself was almost captured, and fled back to Nanchang in embarrassment.

Lu Su and Liu Ye divided their troops to attack the counties of Danyang County and completed the task assigned by Chen Deng.

Compared with the smooth offensive of the Eastern Route Army and the Central Route Army, Yu Ban of the Western Route Army was slightly difficult. He led Li Dian, Mao Jue and other soldiers to cross the Yangtze River by boat, and wanted to make a sneak attack, but he didn't want to hit Zhou Yu's sailors. The two armies met unexpectedly at Peng Lize, and an encounter took place.

The armies led by Yu Ban are all land forces. Many people are also seasick and have extremely poor combat ability on the water.

In contrast, although Zhou Yu's navy has just been trained, the officers and soldiers of the navy are all Jiangnan people who are proficient in water, and they are very skilled in boats and rows, and they are unhindered on the water.

If Yu Ban hadn't ordered a retreat in time, he was afraid that the 20,000-strong army would be in danger of being wiped out.

Yu Ban was defeated and returned, and returned to Xunyang for rectification.

Yu Ban had already frightened the snakes, so Zhou Yu concentrated the naval army on the surface of the Yangtze River, and even on the lake of Peng Lize, there were cruising the warships of the naval army, taking Chaisang as the key defensive object, guarding the Nanchang City where Sun Quan was located.

Sun Quan succeeded Sun Ce as the lord of Jiangdong, and all the famous generals in Jiangdong rushed to Nanchang, which brought convenience to Chen Deng's attack.

When Sun Quan received a report from Zhou Yu in Nanchang City, saying that Zhang Yan had sent a large army to attack Jiangdong, he would fight without declaring war.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Quan received a series of reports, Wu County and Danyang County were all lost, Wu County Taishou Zhu Zhi killed himself, and Danyang Taishou Lu Fan fled back in embarrassment. Huiji Taishou Sun Jing sent people to pray for help.

Less than ten days after taking over Jiangdong, Sun Quan is facing a great challenge, whether he can save himself in this battle and continue to continue Sun's position in Jiangdong has become Sun Quan's top priority at present.

When the news came, the whole Jiangdong was shocked.

At this time, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and other old departments of Sun Ce gathered in Nanchang City, these people are the essence of the entire Jiangdong, and they can be used as the future of the independent leader. However, due to the mourning for Sun Ce, these people came from all over the country to offer condolences, but they did not want Zhang Yan to take advantage of the loophole and attack Jiangdong in turn, resulting in the army without a competent general to command, and was defeated, losing Wujun and Danyang one after another, and Huiji and Nanchang were also exposed to the enemy's attack.

If it weren't for Zhou Yu leaving ahead of schedule and sending a naval army into the Yangtze River, I was afraid that Yu Ban would have already arrived at Chaisang City at this time.

Zhang Yanbing marched in three ways, only Yu Ban's attack was blocked, and the other two roads were all captured because of poor defense, which was undoubtedly very bad news for Sun Quan, who had just taken office.

Sun Quan paced anxiously in the hall, thinking about how to deal with the war. When he was the commander of Nancheng County, although he led the soldiers to command the battle, it was all a small fight, and he only dealt with a group of bandits who were not in the climate.

The enemy who came this time was a regular army that had been prepared for a long time, and it was menacing and spread a wide range, so where to defend first, how to resist the enemy at the same time, how to be foolproof, and how to take a counteroffensive and collect the lost territory became a headache for him.

For a whole hour after the news came, Sun Quan's mind was blank, he was facing such a large-scale war for the first time, and he didn't know how to command a large army to fight.

In dealing with political affairs, Sun Quan has extremely rich experience, and Nancheng County has been governed by him into an orderly manner, but this time it is a war, and his every move is related to the fate and survival of the entire Jiangdong.

"Lord, General Cheng Pu is out asking to see you!" Zhu Huan walked in from outside and hugged his fists.

"Nope!" Sun Quan decisively refused.

Zhu Huan said in surprise: "Lord, General Cheng said ......"

"If you don't see it, you don't see it! The order goes down, except for the Grand Governor, no one who asks to see him will be seen! Sun Quan was categorical.

Zhu Huan let out a "whoop", turned around and exited the hall.

Where Cheng Pu came, Sun Quan couldn't be clearer, he must have come to ask for battle.

But. At this stage, Sun Quan has not figured out how to arrange the troops. Even if I met Cheng Pu. He couldn't give Cheng Pu the answer he wanted.

In Sun Quan's heart, he must have a foolproof strategy, and he will be willing to send troops to achieve victory as soon as he sends troops and a strategy to recover the lost territory.

Because, at present, the Sun clan does not have many troops, how to make reasonable use of the army and play the greatest role. is what Sun Quan has to consider.

"Get out of the way, I want to see the lord!" Suddenly, there was a roar outside the door.

"The lord has an order, except for the Grand Governor, nothing is missing, if the old general trespasses, don't blame the general for being polite!" Zhu Huan's voice came out.

"The old man is loyal to the Sun family, when this time of crisis, how can the old man be a turtle with a shrunken head? The old man wants to see the lord! You get out of the way for me, or else. The old man is not polite to you! Cheng Pu's deep voice came from far and near.

"Zhu Huan, you fucking dodge. If you're in a hurry, don't blame someone Han for being merciless to your subordinates! Han Dang, who was rough and rough, also became irritable.

Sun Quan heard that there was a noise outside, so he hurriedly walked out of the hall and came to the door of the courtyard, and saw Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and others all gathered at the door, Zhu Huan opened his arms and blocked the door with his huge body, arguing with everyone.

"Zhu Huan! Let all the generals come in! When Sun Quan saw such a scene, he waved his hand.

After Zhu Huan heard Sun Quan's voice, he dodged away, and Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and others all calmed down slightly when they saw Sun Quan, and then bowed in unison: "The last general will wait to see the lord!" ”

Sun Quan said: "Generals, since you have all arrived, it seems a little too impersonal for me to keep you out of the door again." Come in with me. ”

The group of people all followed Sun Quan into the hall, and Sun Quan asked the generals to sit down in the hall, and then asked, "Generals, are you here to ask for battle?" ”

Cheng Pu is the largest of many generals, and the most prestigious one, following Sun Jian in his early years, and later following Sun Ce, he has made a lot of contributions to Jiangdong.

"Lord, now that the enemy army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong, Wujun and Danyang have been lost one after another, but we are still trapped in Nanchang City and do nothing, is it possible to be a turtle with a shrunken head? When the old lord was alive before, we had never been like this, could it be that the lord was afraid of those enemies? Cheng Pu has a straightforward personality, and the old lord he said refers to Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is brave and good at fighting, bravely crowns the three armies, and has the divine power of the overlord, has a very high prestige in the army, and takes the lead in every battle, and the soldiers are also desperate to serve him.

But now that it has been replaced by Sun Quan, Cheng Pu and other generals are clamoring to go on the march, but they are pressed by Sun Quan, and they are not convinced, so they come over together and prepare to ask Sun Quan for his life.

Sun Quan heard Cheng Pu mention Sun Ce, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, his force was not as good as Sun Ce, and he had no prestige in the army, and he couldn't be compared with Sun Ce at all, and even after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan also heard the gossip, saying that Zhou Yu was the best candidate in the minds of the generals, even if Zhou Yu was not chosen, Sun Ben and Sun He, who were generals in the army, were stronger than Sun Quan, but Weishenme Zhou Yu wanted to support Sun Quan.

Of course, these are all gossip, Sun Quan listened to it in his ears, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he had just taken over Jiangdong, and no one was optimistic about him, this kind of feeling, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Now, on the tenth day of his tenure, a serious crisis broke out in Jiangdong, and the enemy army drove straight in, as if entering a no-man's land, Danyang and Wujun were lost one after another, and at this time of internal and external troubles, Sun Quan, who was only 19 years old, suffered great torture in his heart.

Sun Quan said: "General Cheng, I didn't say that I would not send troops, but postponed sending troops. The enemy forces were menacing and suddenly attacked, apparently premeditated. And I have only been mourning my brother for three days, and within three days, the enemy army is ready to attack, don't you think it's a little strange? I suspect that my brother's death may have something to do with Zhang Yan......"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals looked at each other, and then the crowd was excited, and they talked nonsense, roughly speaking, they should immediately send troops and take a counteroffensive to avenge Sun Ce.

Sun Quan originally wanted to use this topic to divert their attention, but who knew that it would backfire, but it stimulated the hatred in their hearts, and the opinion of sending troops became even stronger.

At this moment, the soldiers standing outside shouted: "The Governor has arrived!" ”

The high-pitched voice penetrated the noise in the hall, and everyone heard this clear voice, and everyone looked out of the hall in unison, but saw Zhou Yu wearing a suit of armor and striding into the hall from the outside.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and others became silent, and then bowed to Zhou Yu in unison: "See the Grand Duke!" ”

Seeing this, Sun Quan had a special feeling in his heart, these generals were so respectful to Zhou Yu, why were they so rude to themselves? Could it be that he is really inferior to Zhou Yu?

Although he thought so in his heart, Sun Quan did not show it, because Sun Ce had warned him alone when he was dying, Zhou Yu's prestige in the army was extremely high, and the generals also trusted and respected Zhou Yu very much, so don't let Sun Quan complain about Zhou Yu because of this.

As soon as Zhou Yu appeared, he glanced at the generals in the hall and said, "Since everyone is here, I don't have to call you one by one." I just came from Chaisang, and I've already heard about Wujun and Danyang......"

While speaking, Zhou Yu walked into the house, walked in front of Sun Quan, and bowed respectfully: "See the lord!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor doesn't have to be polite, the Metropolitan Governor also came in a very timely manner, and now my Jiangdong is suddenly facing such a dangerous situation, I am still very young, I have no experience in dealing with this matter, and everything still needs to be handled by the Metropolitan Governor. Since the Metropolitan Governor is here, then these matters will be handled by the Metropolitan Governor with full authority......" Sun Quan said.

Zhou Yu frowned, sighed lightly, and said to Sun Quan: "Zhang Yan fought without declaring a war, attacked suddenly, and the troops were divided into three routes, it seems that the enemy army has been prepared for a long time. I met Yu Ban unexpectedly in Peng Lize, I had fought with his army, the enemy army is a well-trained elite soldier, if it weren't for me commanding the soldiers to fight to kill the thief, plus the northerners have seasickness, I'm afraid I may not be able to defeat Yu Ban. Now the enemy army is eyeing the enemy, step by step, is to gradually encroach on Jiangdong, although I have the experience of commanding a big war, but for this matter, but there is nothing to be done, everything has to rely on the lord to make a decision! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone here was very surprised, Zhou Yu, who has always been resourceful and good at using soldiers, what happened today, when Jiangdong survived, Zhou Yu couldn't come up with a good plan? (To be continued......)
