Zhou Tai heard Sun Shangxiang's words, this kind of words is definitely a big blow to a loyal general, even if he is not really loyal, he can't get over this face.

But Zhou Tai's expression was calm, he almost didn't pay attention to it, and politely surrendered his hand to Sun Shangxiang: "Miss Sun, Zhou Tai was a general in Jiangdong in the past, but in the battle of Jiangling, Zhou Tai saved Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu, and Lu Meng, the current governor of the navy, Zhou Tai thinks he is worthy of Jiangdong."

Regardless of whether Miss thinks Zhou Tai is shameless or not, Zhou Tai has to tell Miss that I, Zhou Tai, will not show mercy to my subordinates. ”

"Who wants you to be merciful."

Sun Shangxiang snorted disdainfully, waved his sword and led the army to kill Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai also used a sword, the long weapon was a cross sword, the short weapon was a long sword, the two swords intersected, and Sun Shangxiang's right arm was pierced.

Sun Shangxiang usually practices swords hard, but Zhou Tai, a former water thief, and later a professional general, was also a general opponent who was instructed by Huang Yueying for one or two moves.

Sun Shangxiang was completely unable to defeat Zhou Tai, so he had to fight hard, Huang Yueying's army had already been killed, and before the complete encirclement, Sun Shangxiang was rescued by his generals and fled eastward.

"I'm not leaving, I'm fighting with them."

Sun Shangxiang now hates the Sichuan army even more.

"Miss, we can't leave if we want to go like this." This time, the generals did not persuade, because Jiangdong was all infantry, and the Sichuan army had cavalry, so they could not outrun the Sichuan army at all.

Lu Su is gone, a woman in charge, even if it is the sister of the lord, the Jiangdong army is not in harmony, it is scattered, and it is completely unable to resist.

"Go to the woods."

A subordinate general shouted, urgently persuading Sun Shangxiang to go to the woods, and the Jiangdong army died. Descend of fall. Scattered, scattered. There were only more than 100 people with Sun Shangxiang.

"It's Sun Quan's sister who is leading the line? Where did Lu Su go? ”

Huang Yueying asked Zhou Tai, but she didn't get an answer, she clenched her fists, it seems that Lu Su abandoned the army and ran away, this army can be abandoned, even the lord's sister was abandoned, and immediately Huang Yueying figured it out, Lu Su's trick is quite clever.

"Chase into the woods. If you can't catch Lu Su, you can catch Sun Shangxiang and talk about it. ”

The Sichuan army sent a group of mountain infantry into the woods, and Huang Yueying personally led the team.

The infantry chases the infantry, and it is not so easy to chase in the jungle, Sun Shangxiang roughly estimated the direction, she knew that here a little detour to the southeast, you can get out of the woods and go to the Lujiang area, which is the territory of Jiangdong, and it should be easier to escape.

However, after a detour. Jiang Dongjun was lost and didn't know how to get out. There are woods everywhere, and the sight is not far away, and finally, Jiangdongjun saw a woodcutter, this should be the junction of Lujiang and Jiangxia, and the woodcutter here must know how to get to Lujiang.

"Old man, how do you get to Lujiang here?" Sun Shangxiang stepped forward and asked.

The woodcutter glanced at Sun Shangxiang and his entourage, a little puzzled, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly explained: "We are Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and now we are being chased and killed by the Sichuan barbarians, I hope the old man will help us." ”

"Oh, just go over there, just keep walking."

The woodcutter pointed in the direction and walked away with the firewood.

Sun Shangxiang smiled: "It's still the Jiangdong Army that wins the hearts of the people, and when they heard that they were being pursued by the Sichuan barbarians, they immediately pointed the way." ”

Sun Shangxiang fled with his soldiers in the direction pointed by the woodcutter.

When Huang Yueying chased Sun Shangxiang according to the clues left by the Jiangdong Army, even with her wisdom, she still couldn't figure out why Sun Shangxiang wanted to take people to the swamp.

………………

After Huang Yueying captured Sun Shangxiang, she sent Zhou Tai to take over the northern city of Jingzhou, supported Fa Zheng by the way, and returned to Xuchang with Sun Shangxiang.

Recently, in a very short period of time, a lot of things have happened, which have a great impact on the Sichuan army, especially the matter of Jianye, Huang Yueying knew that Liu Zhang must want to consult with him, and sure enough, he was only halfway there, and he met Liu Zhang sent a letter soldier and asked her to return to Xuchang immediately.

Jingzhou left Fa Zheng and Zhou Yu to continue fighting, and Zhou Yu also received a retreat order from Jiangdong, but where could Zhou Yu be willing, he had the same idea as Sun Quan, if Jingzhou was captured, Jingzhou could be exchanged for Jiangdong fairly.

Even, Zhou Yu is more willing than Sun Quan, Jiangdong, the Sichuan army wants to occupy it, directly take Sun Quan to Jingzhou, continue to fight with the Sichuan army, when the time comes, Jiangdong will become an enclave of the Sichuan army, and the people's hearts are unstable, see what the Sichuan army does.

But Zhou Yu thinks so, Lu Su doesn't think so, if the Sichuan army really occupies Jiangdong, the people's will will be unstable, and it will be difficult for the Sichuan army to rule, but this consequence is that the family will face a catastrophe.

Lu Su first hoped that there would be a way to exchange for the captured children of the family in Jianye, and in any case, he didn't want the war to start in Jiangdong, so Lu Su withdrew as soon as possible.

As soon as Lu Su left, Fazheng's supply channel was opened, and Fazheng, who was on the verge of extinction, regained the strength to fight.

"Governor, what are we going to do? It is reported that the rebel general Zhou Tai has already led reinforcements and will support Fazheng in a few days at most. Huang Gai said loudly to Zhou Yu.

"Old general, don't ask Zhou Tai to surrender in the future, he has done everything he has done to Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu said in his mouth, his face was heavy, his fists were on the table and he was silent for a long time, now whether he goes or stays is indeed a big problem.

Jiangdong's side wants to retreat by itself, no matter who it means, Zhou Yu is convinced of a truth, there is no bargaining chip to negotiate with the other party, that is the fate of being slaughtered by others.

And once he withdraws from Jingzhou, Jiangdong will be a mermaid, and when Liu Zhang offers any conditions, it is estimated that those civil officials will accept it, and even Liu Zhang will directly attack Jiangdong, and Jiangdong will be destroyed.

There is still a period of time for Zhou Tai to reach Baichuan, and now the law is constantly weakening, even if Lu Su withdraws, it is not as good as Zhou Yu, if he can capture Baichuan before Zhou Tai arrives, and then possess half of Jingzhou, isn't there also a bargaining weight with the Sichuan army?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu said to the generals in a deep voice: "Pass my order, the army will not withdraw, from now on, the whole army will desperately attack the city, the governor will personally supervise the battle, the soldiers will flee and behead the captain, the captain will flee and behead the general, the general will escape, and I, Zhou Yu, will cut myself to thank the lord." ”

"Yes."

The Jiangdong generals were only stunned for a few seconds, and bowed down together, they knew that Zhou Yu had disobeyed orders, but these people would rather obey Zhou Yu's dispatch.

They are all main battle factions, and they have been waiting for too long for this battle of Jingzhou, and when the news of Jianye's loss came, they could hardly believe it.

No one wants the opportunity they have been waiting for for years to be lost and replaced by a big defeat.

Not to mention that Zhou Yu's prestige is extremely high, even if there is no prestige, these generals do not want to retreat, capturing Jingzhou has been their dream for many years, and they can't bear it in their hearts after a big defeat.

On the same day, Zhou Yu personally supervised the battle, the battle was fought for a day and a night, the Jiangdong army did not want to attack the city, and the Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties, but the Sichuan army that ignited hope was not so easy to defeat, and Zhou Yu did not capture it.

Zhou Yu counted the time, prepared to rest, and continued to attack the city, when another order came, or an order to retreat, and the order was that Zhang Hong had entrusted the young general Lu Xun to take over all the military in Jiangdong.

At this time, Lu Xun was not well known, and he was no different from ordinary weak scholars, including Zhou Yu and Zhang Hong, who didn't think Lu Xun was anything wrong.

However, Zhou Yu knew the reason why Zhang Hong appointed Lu Xun, because he was a descendant of the four major families in Jiangdong, and this retreat order was issued after Lu Xun took over the military, only one day later than Sun Quan's order.

Lu Xun said in the letter that he was a scholar and could not lead the army, and hoped that Zhou Yu would come back to lead the army.

Zhou Yu still didn't care, but after another night of fierce fighting, news came from Jiangling that all the family members who came to support the Jiangdong army had withdrawn to Jiangdong, that is, Zhou Yu's grain and grass were cut off.

Zhou Yu suddenly felt extremely sad, he had tried his best to cut off Fazheng's supply and grain supply, and Lu Su withdrew, falling short.

And now his own food channel has been cut off by his own people.

And from the perspective of time, Sun Quan issued a retreat order, Lu Xun euphemistically issued a retreat order, and the family members withdrew, all of which were separated by one day, which shows how urgent the clan wants to withdraw his army.

On the first day, Sun Quan was forced to give an order, the second day the new Jiangdong commander requested, and on the third day, he cut off his own back road, how afraid these people were that they would stay in Jingzhou.

As if they were dealing with them, not their enemies.

"Don't you have the overall situation of Jiangdong in your heart?"

Zhou Yu shouted in pain, all the civil and military looked at him solemnly, Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, as if talking to himself: "Yes, what is the overall situation of Jiangdong to you?" If I don't retreat, I'll either lead the war to Jiangdong or lose Jiangdong directly, either way, you're afraid of it, right?

What's more, your family's children and property are still in the hands of others, what does the overall situation of Jiangdong concern you? You care about your children, your property, and don't let war break out in Jiangdong. ”

"No, I must be ashamed of my brother."

Zhou Yu thought of the spear that Sun Ce had planted on the bank of the Yangtze River.

"I, Jiangdong Sun Ce, swear here that I will not kill Liu Zhang, and this gun will always stand here."

The words are still in my ears, I was next to my brother at that time, and when Sun Ce died, I swore that I must be ashamed of my brother, but after so many years, am I ashamed?

In the first battle of Sanjiangkou, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's entire army was annihilated, and in the first battle of Jiangling, he and Lü Meng fled alone.

And in this battle of Jingzhou, if you retreat, Jiangdong will not only be defeated, but also broken.

Although Zhou Yu didn't know the truth about Wangjianglou, he could still easily know that Jiangdong, which was forming a new army, had all the military power controlled by the Shi clan, and Zhou Yu had a hunch that as long as he retreated, there would be no chance of revenge.

"Soldiers, I, Zhou Yu, clearly told you that Jiangdong will not transport grain and grass to us anymore, and our grain and grass will be cut off, but I, Zhou Yu, have decided to fight, not to go down to Baichuan, and never return Wu, if you want to leave, I will not stop you, you will stay, and I Zhou Yu will live and die with you."

All the soldiers looked at each other and shouted in unison: "We will strictly obey the orders of the Metropolitan Governor and will not retreat." (To be continued......)
