Chapter 531: The Mourning Soldiers Will Win
In Xiling City, in the lobby where the generals were lined up, the atmosphere became tense.
Whether Sun Quan withdraws from the army or not will determine the position of the Wu throne.
Today's Sun Quan controls hundreds of thousands of troops, who competes, if he takes advantage of the general trend, puts Sun Ce under house arrest, and returns to Jinling with this force, he will be the next King of Wu.
"Zhou Yu, what do you think?" When Sun Quan heard the request of Pang Tong and the others, his rigid face did not move in the slightest, he just raised his head, glanced at Zhou Yu, and then asked lightly.
Since Sun Jian's death, Sun Quan's handsome and handsome face has become like a zombie face, unchanged, and no one can see his love.
All they could feel was from his amber eyes, a touch of ice that seemed to be forever clouded.
At this time, he suddenly opened his mouth to ask Zhou Yu, which was a little unexpected, but the faint voice made Zhou Yu's heart palpitate.
"Alas!" Zhou Yu raised his head, glanced at Sun Quan, and sighed softly, with a sigh in his heart.
The brothers of the Sun family are all young male lords, and he once thought that one day maybe Sun Quan would step on Sun Ce to ascend the throne, but he knew that even if Sun Quan ascended the throne, with his character, he would not be wiped out.
It's just that he never thought of today's form, and what he didn't expect was that Sun Jian's death in battle would make the courteous Sun Quan have such a big reaction, and at the same time, it also made Sun Quan have an uncommon hatred for Sun Ce.
This hatred will destroy the brotherhood in Sun Quan's heart.
At this moment, Sun Quan has already controlled the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Western Expedition, and the influence that Sun Quan has accumulated over the years has also exploded at this moment, and now the people are panicking, Sun Ce is seriously injured, and he stands up. Of course, no one stopped him at all, and even the generals of Sun Ce's family couldn't shake Sun Quan's control.
He no longer expects Sun Ce to ascend the throne under his nose, he only hopes that he can let Sun Ce survive.
"Master Hou, now Guiyang, Changsha. Jiangxia, half of the Chu State is already under our control, and the Western Expedition campaign can be regarded as a result! ”
Zhou Yu stood up, bowed to Sun Quan, and said lightly: "Minister, agree with the retreat!" ”
"Gong Jin!" Tai Shici's eyes widened, agreeing to them to withdraw at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up Sun Ce's opportunity to ascend the throne in vain?
In his mind, this time should be more delayed. As long as Sun Ce gets better, he is still the little overlord of Jiangdong, and in the army, his influence is the greatest.
"Ziyi, we can't think about ourselves, at this moment, the Wu Kingdom has no leader, and the western expedition will be defeated. Retirement is the best option! Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
The Western Expedition was not considered a failure. At least the land of the three counties that has been taken now, even if the troops are withdrawn, it is impossible to spit out the land of the three counties that have been swallowed, and even if the state of Wu is chaotic, it can hold its own territory.
Since you can't swallow the state of Chu in one go, then consolidate the territory you have already won. First free up his hands to suppress the civil strife in Wu and pacify the turmoil caused by the return of the king to heaven in Wu State.
Zhou Yu is indeed Sun Ce's confidant and brother, but he also watched Wu Guo grow to this point day by day, so whether Sun Ce ascended the throne or Sun Quan ascended the throne. He didn't want a prosperous Wu state to be divided because of this.
At this time, the most important thing is that the new king ascends the throne and stabilizes the domestic situation.
"You've all agreed to quit, haven't you?"
"Yes!"
No matter whether the crowd wanted it or not, there was no one to oppose it at this time.
"But I, Sun Quan, disagree!"
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Sun Quan's mouth.
His gaze swept over the generals, as if they were as sharp as knives, and he shot the case directly, and shouted coldly: "Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, you are all the best generals in Wu State, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Chen Gong, you are also famous strategists in the world, you are all capable people in Wu State, leading hundreds of thousands of troops, invincible, Gao Shun, Zu Mao, you are the prince's army, you actually let the king be shot under your nose, do you know the shame?" ”
"We deserve death!"
When everyone heard Sun Quan's words, they all blushed, and walked out of their positions in a hurry, kneeling on the ground, prostrate on the ground.
"If the protector is not effective, what is the use of waiting?" Sun Quan directly pulled out his long sword, with a strong killing intent, and said coldly.
If the Western Expedition was defeated and Sun Jian died, he could accept it, but the entire Western Expedition had just begun, and the final decisive battle had not started, none of them died in battle, and Sun Jian died in battle.
In this way, Sun Quan was furious.
"Our protector is not effective, please punish Master Hou!"
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to raise their heads one by one, and at this moment, Sun Quan seemed to have entered a state of rage, even his closest henchmen did not dare to come forward to persuade him.
"Junhou, now hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are in panic, it is not appropriate to behead the generals, the overall situation is important!" It was Lu Bu, the fierce general next to Sun Quan, who spoke out, and at this time, he, an outsider, dared to speak out.
When Sun Quan heard this, he took a deep breath, he actually knew that he didn't blame them, the Chu army of the great war that was born and died on the front line had always been put in the safest rear position by the king Sun Jian, who would have thought that Sun Jian actually left the rear Xiling, and personally led his troops to Nanjun.
"Father's hatred is not shared, Guan Yu must die, Liu Bei must die, Zhang Fei must also die, and the Western Expedition continues!"
Sun Quan calmed down, gently put away his long sword, his eyes looked out the window at the sky, and there was a trace of coldness in his turquoise eyes.
His faint voice was filled with his firm determination to avenge his father, and I could stop it.
"Master Hou, now that the king is in control of the sky, it has spread all over the three armies, and the army's heart is unstable, I'm afraid it will ......" When Pang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Sun Quan.
He knew Sun Quan's grief and indignation, but those who achieved great things would have to give up, and he wanted to persuade Sun Quan not to be rash at this time.
The throne of Wu is the first.
"Say no more!" Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "It is my father's last order to take down the Chu State, even if I go to the soup and fight the fire, I will destroy the Chu State, from now on, the three armies of the Western Expedition, a certain is the main general, and those who do not accept it will be killed." My Sun Zhongmou avenged his father to slaughter tens of millions of people, and whoever dares to stop me will die! ”
"Yes!"
In the face of the powerful Sun Quan, everyone did not dare to oppose it, and these fierce generals actually did not want to withdraw from the army, since Sun Quan was so decisive. From another point of view, it can be regarded as giving them the confidence to fight a decisive battle.
"Get up!"
Sun Quan sat down and said, "Now that the situation is unfavorable, you can think about it, how can you have to win back a game!" ”
"Prince, the most important thing is the military heart!" Everyone sat down and looked at Sun Quan, Pang Tong knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only find a way. Solve the Western Expedition in the shortest possible time.
"Lu Bu!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he turned his head, looked at Lu Bu, and asked coldly: "Now that our army's morale is unstable and the country's heart is uncertain, how can you feel at ease?" ”
"Report to the prince, the army is unstable, you can see the main general. If the national spirit is unstable, it depends on whether it wins or not. As long as the prince stands up, three
As long as we can fight a big victory, we can stabilize the hearts of the whole country! Lu Bu arched his hand, and his eyes burst out with a touch of essence. Lang Lang said: "Victory can cover up a qiē sadness and despair!" ”
"Okay, then we will fight to the death with the State of Chu in Chibi!"
Sun Quan landed a heavy fist on the table, and said coldly: "I want to win this battle!" ”
"Pang Tong!"
"In!"
"It is rumored that every soldier of the three armies of the Western Expedition. The king has died in the hands of Guan Yu, Wu has no owner, Sun Zhongmou is not talented, but his brother Sun Ce is seriously injured, and now he is in danger and is ordered to preside over the western expedition, the king left a military order, at any cost, to take the state of Chu, today a certain order, the whole army mourns for the king, everyone wears linen and filial piety to fight, Sun Zhongmou swears here, not to break Xiangyang, not to behead Liu Biao, not to return to Jinling! ”
Sun Quan raised his fist, and a strong voice resounded in the hall.
"No!"
When Pang Tong heard this, his whole body trembled, and his eyes suddenly burst out with a touch of essence: "A certain immediately issued a document to inform the officers and soldiers of the three armies and stabilize the military heart of the three armies!" ”
If Sun Jian's death has been covered up, it has made the Wu army and the soldiers unstable, and the army is in turmoil, and now Sun Quan has clearly informed the three armies of the king's death, which is a clever move.
This will provoke the anger of the soldiers of the Wu State against the Chu State, and the anger is also morale.
This will inevitably make the morale of the Wu army skyrocket.
In addition, Sun Jian's son, the most powerful heir of Wu, Donghou Sun Quan, came to the front line to preside over the overall situation of the Western Expedition, and it is not a group of dragons without a leader, and this battle may not be able to continue.
"How many soldiers and horses are left of Lu Meng, Dong Xi, Chen Wu, Ru and others? Where are they stationed? Sun Quan turned his head, looked at the three young generals, and asked coldly.
The three of them were very good in the battle of Xiangyang, but the overall situation was like this, they had no choice, they were about to take Xiangyang, but the news of the battle of Da Xian suddenly came, so that the three of them could only lead their troops to withdraw from Xiangyang in a hurry, and finally were forced to withdraw from Nanjun, and now the whole army is stationed in Suixian.
"Report to the prince, we are stationed in the county!"
Lu Meng stood up and arched his hand: "The soldiers and horses of the entire Right Route Army are now gathered in Suixian, the first battle of Xiangyang, our strong attack has doubled, and there are many casualties, the first battle of Caiyang, Jiang Hou suffered heavy casualties, and later Jiang Hou has several fierce battles, only less than 10,000 remnants remain, and after integrating the troops of Jiang Xia, the Right Route Army still has less than 80,000 soldiers and horses!" ”
An adventure, Xiangyang was not taken, but it caused heavy casualties to the entire Right Route Army, and tens of thousands of soldiers died in Nanjun like this, and they gained nothing, which can be regarded as a loss of home.
"Lu Bu!" Sun Quan drank.
"In!"
"Jiang Hou is seriously injured, the right army is leaderless, you are the Marquis of Wu Guolu, you have the right to lead the troops in danger, and the soldiers and horses of Suixian County will be under your command from now on!"
"No!"
When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes had a bright color, and he finally waited for a chance to fight on the battlefield again.
Sun Quan's gaze swept over Dong Xi and the three of them, and asked, "Can you and the others obey?" ”
"The last general is willing to obey the orders of the prince!"
The three of them glanced at each other and nodded respectfully, although Sun Quan's move was obviously to deprive Jianghou Sun Ce of his soldiers and horses, but they knew that if they were not convinced, Sun Quan would probably directly draw his sword and kill them.
After all, Sun Jian's death has an inseparable relationship with the entire Right Route Army, and they don't dare to touch Sun Quan's moldy head at this time.
"Lu Bu, you're very good, I'll fight Chibi, but the task of the Right Route Army is very difficult, I want Xiangyang City!"
Sun Quan's voice was calm, but cold.
"The last general is guaranteed to complete the mission!" When Lu Bu heard this, he was not afraid, nodded heavily, and said: "Before the Battle of Chibi ends, Xiangyang will definitely surrender under the battle banner of Wu State!" ”
"Huang Zhong, give you three days, I want to see 50,000 elite soldiers and horses appear in Chibi!" Sun Quan turned his head and looked at Huang Zhong of Yiyang's Left Route Army.
He knew that Changsha and Guiyang were a little chaotic now, but he couldn't care about so much!
Gather forces and fight to the death in Chibi.
"No!"
Huang Zhong's face was a little ugly, but in the end he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, within three days, let the main force of the navy fight back to Chibi and prepare for the decisive battle, can you do it?"
"No!"
The two generals nodded.
"Break the meeting, go back to the camp, and prepare for a decisive battle!"
Sun Quan put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Remember, guide the military hearts of the soldiers under your command well, it is a sad thing for the king to die in battle, but there are two sides to everything, see how you guide, there is a word in this world, the mourning soldiers will win!" ”
"The mourning soldiers will win!"
The generals who sat down again were all generals who had experienced a hundred battles and led more than 10,000 troops, and they immediately understood the meaning of Sun Quan's words. (To be continued......)
