Chapter Eighty-Seven: We Don't Have a Choice
In the second year of the first peace, in Wu County at the beginning of August, the sun was high and the temperature rose rapidly.
Jinyiwei Yamen, Sun Quan in a thin blue brocade clothes, sitting in the public court, reviewing a number of Jinyiwei official documents submitted from all over the country, after several months of development, Jinyiwei's light and dark spies began to bloom everywhere in Wu County.
"The local Haoqiang Wang family in Haiyan County colluded with the pirates in the East China Sea of Huiji, and borrowed the boat on the pirates to transport the grain collected from Wu County to Huiji by water!"
"Among them, there is also the county governor of Haiyan County, Li Yi as a cover, and even sold Haiyan's official grain to seek benefits, the news has been confirmed!"
Sun Quan squinted, looking at the news submitted by the hundred households in the south of Wu County, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There are really people who are not afraid of death.
In this era, fighting a war is food and grass, since Sun Jian sent troops to the Huiji, the county guard has been three times and five orders, any grain, can not enter the Huiji, there are still people against the wind to commit crimes.
In that case, let's make an example!
"Xiao Tao, you asked people to hand over this official document to the county guard mansion immediately, and tell Zhang Changshi, now is the critical moment, you should make an example of it, and this Wang family doesn't have to stay." Sun Quan took out the text and handed it to a teenager beside him.
"No!"
Since Han Tao entered Sun's house, he has been following Sun Quan's side, going in and out, which can be regarded as miscellaneous, and his handwriting is very good, much better than the crooked words written by Sun Quan.
He has been with Sun Quan for so many days, and he knows a little bit about Sun Quan, but in comparison, he knows that this young man who is only one year older than himself is much more afraid.
Of course, he has a studious personality and has learned a lot of things from Sun Quan that are not in books.
"Wucheng is starting to be a little unpeaceful again, there are still remnants of the Yan family in Baihu Mountain, colluding with Taihu Lake water thieves, is it because we see that Wu County is empty and ready to move? Look for death! ”
Sun Quan naturally knew that Wu County looked peaceful, but in fact, there were many bandits and water thieves in the secret.
Sun Jian ruled Wu County for less than a year, and at most he could only control the city, and it was difficult to sweep away some rats hiding in the rat's nest for a while.
"Angry Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu directly led the troops to sweep you!" Sun Quan snorted coldly and said indignantly.
Of course, he just said that what these bandits and water thieves are best at is guerrilla warfare, and if they want to encircle and suppress them, they need at least several times the number of troops to block them, and now Wu Jun has not enough troops, so he naturally can't send troops to clean them up.
It took Sun Quan a whole morning to finish the official business of the Jinyi Yamen, and he stood up and relaxed his body.
"Huiji County, Danyang County, within a few months, my father and eldest brother will definitely be able to capture it, and it is also to prepare for the establishment of the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households."
Sun Quan's eyes moved, and he suddenly remembered these two counties.
"Although Huiji County is large, the population is not large, and it is relatively not complicated, to set up one or two hundred households, but Danyang needs to set up three!"
Sun Quan squinted his eyes, Danyang is an important area in Jiangdong, connecting Jiujiang in the northwest and Xuzhou in the north, the relationship is somewhat complicated, and most importantly, it involves Shanyue.
Sun Quan knows very well that Shanyue is the biggest hidden danger in Jiangdong, and it must be solved sooner or later, otherwise Jiangdong should not think about peace.
"Metropolitan Governor, Liao Mo Baihu's urgent secret letter!" A brocade-clad soldier suddenly walked in and said loudly.
"In such a hurry?"
Sun Quan suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, his expression moved slightly, and he opened this secret letter.
"I see, what a big deal!" He looked carefully, his face changed drastically, his pupils contracted, the roots of his teeth clenched, and a cold glow burst out of his eyes.
Sun Quan didn't know what the local gentry family was doing recently, and now he understood, but it was a little too late.
"Mo Cong, Xu Sheng!"
Sun Quan's eyes were full of anger, full of anger, and he shouted.
"Here!" Xu Sheng, who was teaching some Jinyi soldiers to practice martial arts in the backyard of the Jinyi Guard's yamen, changed his expression slightly, and walked into the lobby quickly.
"Here!"
The hundred households in Wu County were also among the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and Mo Cong also heard the shout and hurriedly walked out.
"Mo Cong, have you figured out the strongholds of those people in the Bai family outside the city?" Sun Quan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked.
"It's just a Tibetan or a granary, it's all figured out!" Mo Cong nodded.
"Good!."
Sun Quan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he quickly learned a note on the desk, then stamped his own private seal, handed it to Xu Sheng, and said: "Wen Xiang, Mo Cong will take Jinyiwei and lead you, you take my note, go to see Sun Ben, and ask him to pull out the two thousand county soldiers, and bring back all the people of these families, as well as food." ”
"No!"
Seeing Sun Quan's cautious and stern expression, the two hurriedly responded and hurriedly walked out.
……
Time was pressing, Sun Quan took Han Tao and a few guards and went straight to the county guard's mansion.
"Lord Changshi, something is wrong!"
Above the lobby of the county guard's mansion, Zhang Zhao was originally dealing with government affairs, and when he saw Sun Quan breaking in so quickly, he suddenly felt bad, and sure enough, as soon as Sun Quan opened his mouth, his complexion changed.
"What's the matter?"
In Zhang Zhao's eyes, Sun Quan, a young man, has always been calm, and if it weren't for a big matter of life and death, he wouldn't be so nervous and ugly.
"See for yourself?" Sun Quan handed him Jinyiwei's secret letter.
"How is this possible, in the early hours of this morning, the soldiers of Huiji County landed from the northeast of Lou County, and there were about 10,000 soldiers and horses, Mo predicted, in less than a day, Lou County would inevitably fall, and within three days, Wu County would inevitably be attacked...... They obviously let the lord block in Huiji, so they arrived in Lou County all of a sudden. ”
Zhang Zhao's calm heart couldn't help but panic, and read it carefully.
"Water Army!"
Sun Quan calmed down at this time, squinted his eyes, and said: "We ignored the powerful naval army of Huiji, the ordinary ships are not enough to take the sea route, but the Huiji naval army has the ability to take the sea route and approach Wu County." ”
"You mean, the water army of Huiji did not fight with the main bus in Huiji, but attacked Wu County?" Zhang Zhao's eyes widened.
"Inevitably!"
Sun Quan pondered for a moment and said, "I guess that the Huiji County soldiers who landed in Lou County are only a part, and their naval army may have already penetrated the Yangtze River waterway, followed the Taihu Lake, and directly attacked Wu County." ”
Through Guò Taihu Lake, Huiji's naval army could directly attack the southwest region of Wu County, and enter the city from the two city gates in the southwest.
Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, after all, he was also a person who had gone through the wind and waves, calmed down, began to think, and said, "Childe, do you guess how many soldiers and horses there are in Huiji County this time?" ”
"There should be at least fifteen thousand or more!"
Sun Quan thought for a moment in his heart and said, "I'm afraid that the number of troops is around 20,000." ”
"We only have 5,000 soldiers and horses in Wu County, even if we add 2,000 county soldiers, we can't stop the soldiers of Huiji County!"
Zhang Zhao's heart sank, and said: "This matter must be reported to the lord and the eldest prince, so that they can immediately send troops to rescue me, and Wu County must not be lost." ”
"It's too late!"
Sun Quan shook his head and said objectively: "Even if we send spies, back and forth, even the soldiers and horses stationed in Moling will not be able to return in a short time. ”
"Moreover, going like this may also make our Jiangdong Army's plan to seize Huiji and Danyang abort, after I received the news, after thinking about it, this should be Guo Yi's siege of Wei to save Zhao, he just wants his father to withdraw from the army."
Sun Quan sneered and said analytically.
"What does Childe mean that we will fight this battle ourselves?" Zhang Zhao thought about it, he agreed with Sun Quan's analysis, but in the current situation, with the strength of Wu County alone, he couldn't stop the Huiji soldiers at all.
"It's not a multiple-choice question, we don't have to choose!"
Sun Quan stood up, stared into the distance with amber eyes, a touch of firmness crossed his expression, and said: "Although the enemy is strong and I am weak, but since I have already killed the door, even if I can't stop it, I have to block it, Wu County can't lose it, and our Sun family's people can't fall into the hands of the Huiji County soldiers, let Guo Yi use it to threaten his father, this battle must be fought!" ”
