Chapter 369: Sun Jian's Fury
Sun Jian sent troops.
Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya, must be protected. Therefore, Sun Jian mobilized all his troops and horses, dispatched 150,000 troops to gallop to the aid in five directions, and at the same time recruited more than 80% of the players in the army to send Yuzhang, the canyon at the junction of Changsha.
Among them, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, led 30,000 elite soldiers to take the middle road. The veteran Han Dang and Zu Mao each led 30,000 soldiers and horses for the left and right wings. In addition, Ling Cao, Ling Tong's father and son led 30,000 soldiers and horses to make a detour, one to gallop to help Lu Yao, and the other to guard against an attack by strangers in the direction of Luling. Jiang Qin, the second general of Zhou Tai, led 30,000 soldiers and horses to make a detour to guard against Jiangxia's attack.
The heroes under the tent were exhausted, and Sun Jian personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Nanchang City. The second son, Sun Quan, temporarily served as a military advisor to assist him, and was ready to accept Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and Huang Gaisan's generals to move hundreds of thousands of people.
"How can this be reasonable, Ben Hou was recruited, and there were still strangers who did not follow. He will pacify Jiangdong one day, and he will definitely expel all these strangers from Jiangdong. Sun Jian's face was ugly, and he browsed the roster of players from all over the world who responded to the call.
"The child has been registered, and it is not too late to send troops to recruit when the prince is rescued." Sun Quan comforted him.
The first time he took power, Sun Quan, who was only 12 years old, was very excited, and he was deeply proud of his ability to contribute to his father and brother. The little face is drenched in fine sweat, red and fluttering, and it is cute.
Sun Jian's expression was slightly gloomy, and he nodded with satisfaction.
This is a matter of urgency. The 150,000 army rushed to aid Lu Yao, which caused the whole county to be empty now, and it was indeed impossible to withstand the troubles in various places. Sun Quan can see this clearly, which makes him, a father, very pleased.
"Report, the five-way army is coming, there are thieves and bandits."
When Sun Jian heard the report from the school, his face suddenly darkened. Just after the troops were dispatched, there were thieves attacking and harassing, and they simply didn't take him, the Marquis of Wucheng, who was sealed by the imperial court, in his eyes.
"Thieves? I'm afraid it's not those aliens. Sun Jian slapped the case heavily, and his face was pale.
"Daddy's anger." Sun Quan hurriedly persuaded: "This matter must have been done by a stranger, but our army is exhausted, and now we must not act rashly." Movement is fearful of change. ”
Sun Jian's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.
There's nothing wrong with that. Now that the whole county is empty, it is a fluke that Yangzhou Thorn Shi and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao did not take the opportunity to commit it, if a group of strangers rebelled. Where are there still so many soldiers and horses.
Before Lu Yao sent 200,000 soldiers and horses, he lost part of the siege all the way from Changsha to the city, and recruited some more along the way, barely ensuring that it was equal. Then Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu divided 20,000 troops to aid Changsha, and they are still escorting the people on the way. Now 150,000 troops have been dispatched at once, except for Nanchang City, there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in the town, and the defenders of the counties in the county are more than 1,000 and less than hundreds, barely enough to maintain local order.
In the final analysis, there is a shortage of major generals.
"Zhongmou, recruit troops immediately, there must be no mistakes." Sun Jian quickly returned to normal and ordered in a deep voice.
"The child has to be ordered." Sun Quan received the order in a clear voice, and his fighting spirit was quite high.
Nanchang is also a big city, with hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city. Sun Jian's recruitment order soon sparked a wave of conscription. In order to expand his strength as soon as possible, Sun Jian also had no plan, and promised to recruit troops with a lot of money. Under the generous profits, the conscription work proceeded quite smoothly. In just half a day, thousands of people joined the army.
A few days later, Sun Quan came back happily. In just a few days, more than 10,000 recruits have been recruited, which is a good supplement to the current dilemma of lack of soldiers and horses.
"The child is fortunate not to be dishonored." Sun Quan's little face was full of excitement, and he rushed back to his life, but he didn't notice a trace of distress that flashed quietly between Sun Jian's eyebrows.
Sun Jian is indeed very bitter.
In order to recruit troops, he had to become a seller. After all, Yuzhang County is located at the junction of Jingyang and Yangzhou, and has not been affected by the war in the Central Plains. To recruit enough soldiers and horses in a short period of time, you can only spend money.
However, aside from the ordinary people who joined the army for high military salaries, the merchant who sold horses took the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price, which directly forced him to lower his requirements and reduce the scale of cavalry recruitment. There are even major families in Nanchang City who took the opportunity to reduce the price of the treasures he took out for sale.
With just over 10,000 soldiers recruited, he had already spent all his savings. But I can't say anything about it, so I can move these guys.
Horse traders were the main way for princes everywhere to obtain horses, but no prince would be embarrassed. Not to mention the big families in the city, this is a hornet's nest, and if you move one, you can provoke a large group.
The previous Battle of Changsha proved this.
What he wants is the whole of Koto. The marriage between the major families in Jiangdong has long become an iron plate. If you move the big families in Nanchang City, it is equivalent to offending the entire Jiangdong. Even if he is ambitious, he is a great talent who is not born in the world, and he is helpless about it.
The big families in the city couldn't move, so he could only endure it. No one but these people could buy the treasures he sold. If you can't change money, you can't recruit troops. It's a dead knot that can't be untied.
What's even worse is that the bad news has been coming one after another for several days. The so-called thieves who attacked and harassed the Fifth Route Army became more and more rampant, forcing Sun Ce and other generals to stop from time to time to clear them, which seriously affected the speed of the march. Seeing that several days had passed, he didn't dare to wonder if Lu Yao could hold out until the reinforcements arrived. Once the reinforcements were rescued in time and Sun Shangxiang died, it would directly announce the end of the relationship between the two sides.
The more Sun Jian thought about it, the more angry he became, holding back a fire in his heart, and he just wished that he could put aside all mundane things, do it vigorously, and rescue Lu Yao, the big backer.
At this time, Sun Quan also sensed that something was wrong, and when he saw the increasingly strong anger on Sun Jian's face, he was suddenly startled, and whispered, "Daddy." ”
Sun Quan's father woke up Sun Jian. When he saw Sun Quan looking at him in horror, his anger suddenly vanished, and all of them turned into a long sigh.
In the final analysis, you can't be willful.
"Zhongmou, come here." Sun Jian called Sun Quan to his side, sat down on his lap, and said with a wry smile: "The Jiangdong family can be used, but it cannot be reused, and it needs to be divided and disintegrated by weighing the technique, so as to consolidate the position of my Sun family in Jiangdong." ”
"Got it." Sun Quan nodded as if he didn't understand, and suddenly asked, "What about King Zhuya?" ”
Sun Jian was stunned, and then shook his head and said: "The prince is far away in Zhuya, hanging alone, you can borrow its momentum, not use its strength." ”
Sun Quan nodded as if he didn't understand: "The child understands." ”
"Report, someone outside the mansion asked to see the lord, saying that King Zhuya has something important to entrust."
Suddenly, a small school hurriedly came in and interrupted Sun Jian's teaching to the second son Sun Quan. Hearing that it was about Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya, Sun Jian hurriedly signaled Sun Quan to retreat, waved back left and right, and straightened his clothes, and then ordered to bring people in.
About half an hour later, dozens of colonels holding order flags flashed out of the Taishou Mansion, riding horses that had just been prepared and pouring out of the city gate, and the soldiers hurried forward to chase the reinforcements from the five routes.
