Chapter 422 [Sun Quan Three Moves]

(Thank you for the Alliance! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ug, Leng Xingyu], accuracy appraisal, book friend 111129014935431, love and hatred are fascinating, plain and plain)

Yuzhang County, Nanchang City, Prefect's Mansion. ~,

Since the expulsion of the former prefect Hua Xin, this place has become a new base for the Jiangdong forces. Not only has the entire military and political team transferred to this place, but the Sun family and all the generals and all the family members of the officials moved here together.

On the third day of the third month, it was the 45th birthday of Sun Jian's widow, Sun Quan's mother, Wu. Because it was not a birthday, and the front-line war was tight, the birthday party was not held. I only invited three or five to be friendly, and the important officials under my command came to pay a greeting and have a drink.

In this occasion, Sun Quan, as a son, must be there, Wu's younger brother, Wu Jing, the chief minister of Yuzhang County, must be there, and the chief minister Zhang Zhao, must be there. In addition, there are only a few members of the Sun clan, such as Sun Jiao, Sun Fu, and a few underage sons of Wu, such as Sun Yi and Sun Kuang. There is only one general under his command, Dong Xi, and the rest, are all on the east and west front lines, and have no time to return to celebrate their birthday.

Dong Xi was originally arriving with Zhou Yu in the west. The reason why he appeared here was because he was ordered to return to Yuzhang five days ago to report his victory. He was just about to meet the birth date of Wu, so he stayed, which means that the front-line soldiers celebrated Wu's birthday.

The Cao and Liu coalition forces brought back by Dong Xi defeated Chen Ju, Huang She, and won the good news of Jingling, adding a festive atmosphere to this birthday party, which was not considered a feast. Especially for Wu, the significance of this victory was even more unusual. Huang Zu was her husband-killing enemy. For ten years, he had been gnawing his arms every night, and today he was expected to be snowed. How could he not cry out with joy?

Sun Quan was also extremely excited and deliberately asked the engaging in the hand-held good news. He rode a horse around the city for three weeks and informed the whole city, so the whole city was filled with joy. This not only was a victory against the enemy, but also reflected the combat effectiveness of the allies, confirmed the correctness of the strategy of the alliance between the Sun, Cao and Liu families, and also added a lot of points for Sun Quan's rule.

The war on the Western Front is certainly happy, but the Eastern Front is uneasy. Wu smiled and felt worried. He asked Dong Xi: "Mr. Dong is experienced in many battles. He is familiar with strategies. In his opinion, can we resist the Dragon Wolf Army?"

Dong Xi said with gale: "The terrain of Jiangdong is solid with mountains and rivers. When the Ming Dynasty is attacked, the kindness of the people is in the people. When the enemy is attacked (Sun Quan) and the life is used by all. Zi Bu adheres to the affairs of all the people, and Xi and others are the minions. This place is better and the people are in harmony, so there is no worries."

Everyone is strong in their words.

Sun Quan was flying and his arms were dancing together: "Cao Liu was powerful. Zhou Lang's strange soldiers, and the three armies attacked together. Jiangxia was just around the corner. Yi Gong was brave and powerful, and the king was good at scheming. Gong Miao (He Qi's name was) was both wise and brave. These three men guarded the northern gate of Yuzhang. Even if there were tens of thousands of dragon and wolf, and the warships exceeded thousands, within a few months, they would not have any idea to invade Yuzhang. When the three armies of dragon and wolf merged and seized the gate, our three coalition forces had already broken Jiangxia and cut their wings..."

Everyone smiled and laughed, and the whole room was full of joy.

The more Sun Quan spoke, the more excited he became, and the more excited he listened, everyone was getting excited. Everyone was at the culmination of their own. When they were in a climax, a sudden sound of a report came from outside the mansion: "Report to Pengze for urgent news!"

Sun Quan's heart suddenly jumped, Zhang Zhao raised his eyebrows suddenly, Wu Jing and Dong Xi couldn't help but stand up.

A follower hurried in with the post post in his hand and presented it with respect.

Sun Quan launched an emergency report, took a look, and involuntarily made an action to raise his hand to rub his eyes, looked at him with his eyes wide open, and his hands suddenly closed, and he held the emergency report tightly in his hand, bowed to Wu and said, "The military situation on the Eastern Front is urgent, so I can't serve my mother, so I'm going."

No one knows her son is better than her mother. Although Sun Quan is very calm, how can he hide his twitching eyelids and trembling hands? Wu's eyes are full of worries, but he smiles forcibly: "My son takes on a great responsibility and is in charge of all people. How can he be restrained for an old woman? Go. Remember, you are the son of the tiger in Jiangdong and the brother of the overlord of Jiangdong. Don't let your father and brother be ashamed."

Sun Quan took a long breath, his eyelids stopped twitching, and his hands stabilized. He bowed deeply to his mother: "Son will never let down the expectations of his father, brother and mother."

Although he received encouragement, encouragement is encouragement, facts are facts, and cruel facts made Sun Quan's strong body collapse as soon as he left the lobby.

Everyone saw that something was wrong with this young master, but no one dared to speak nonsense. They followed him silently and came to the main hall of the prefecture.

After everyone sat down according to their respective positions, Sun Quan silently placed the battle report on the tray that the servant held over the top. Zhang Zhao was the first to take the battle report on the servant's salary. When he opened it, he saw that Zhang Zhao's face changed his face.

"...The Dragon Wolf Army attacked the city yesterday. The arrows and stones were like rain, missiles were like hail, and nearly a thousand guards had no bones. From Dan to Night, they broke the city... County Magistrate Zhu was seriously injured and captured. Han Xiaowei was shot at the night patrol, Sun Sima died in the attack of the village, and He Duwei was buried in the battle... Our four generals of Pengze and five thousand children were wiped out, and none of them escaped."

"How is that possible!" Dong Xi jumped up, with four big words written on his face, "I don't believe it."

However, Wu Jing was shocked, and could think of a question: "The entire army was wiped out? Then how did this war report be delivered?"

Before Zhang Zhao could speak, Sun Quan replied depressedly: "The end of the letter is accompanied by an explanation that it was written by Mr. He, who was specially captured by Ma Han, and his entourage arrived on a boat..."

Wu Jing took a breath and murmured: "It seems that it is true. How strong is this Dragon Wolf Army in two days to break the city? I don't know how many days can Shanyin withstand it?"

Among all of you, only Dong Xi had fought with Xu Linjun of the Dragon Wolf Army, and had defeated the opponent's attack several times. He did not think that the opponent's combat power was very great. But he also admitted that the Dragon Wolf Army's siege tools were very sharp. The battle in Wuxian was lost because of the powerful enemy's siege tools. Looking at the description in the battle report, it seemed that the Dragon Wolf Army also used special siege tools. However, under the surveillance of the enemy, He Qi could not write it clearly, and only used the Spring and Autumn style to make ambiguous words.

Peng Ze completely disrupted the Jiangdong Army's strategy with such an astonishing and rapid fall. Yuzhang, the base camp of the Jiangdong Army, was suddenly exposed to the enemy's front and was in danger.

Dong Xi clenched his fists tightly and said, "That Ma Han will definitely persuade him to surrender, right?"

Sun Quan shrank and said lightly: "Yes, at the end of the battle report, I only said eight words."

"What?"

"You can surrender, and I will fight now!"

...

Sun Quan did not surrender, and he did not dare to wait for Ma Han to go. He made a major decision: the third relocation.

The first time, he was driven out of Wujun by Taishi Ci. The second time, under the powerful pressure of the Dragon Wolf Army, he had to give up Kuaiji. The third time, due to Pengze's defeat, the Beida gate was kicked open. In order to avoid the tragic fate of the Dragon Wolf Army blocking the Yangtze River and closing the door to beat dogs, Sun Quan was forced to withdraw the military and political center from Yuzhang again. This time, he had only one place to move to Jiangxia and Xiling.

Time is very tight, and it can be said that it is urgent. Sun Quan discussed with Zhang Zhao, Wu Jing, Dong Xi and other important officials overnight, and made this decision in just one day and one night. So, the military and civilians in Jiangdong who had just moved from Shanyin of Kuaiji to Nanchang of Yuzhang and had not been able to take a few breaths, and again, began a major transfer. Fortunately, there were many ships in Jiangdong, and 90% of them were shipped, regardless of people, things, or livestock. In addition, Xiling was not far away, only a few hundred miles of waterways.

On March 12th, Cheng Pu, a veteran general from Jiangdong, deputy commander of the Western Expedition, and general of the Central Army of the Bandits, led Pan Zhang, Chen Wu and more than 80 ships of all sizes, and together with more than 3,000 soldiers from all over the world, guarded Chaisang with more than 3,000 soldiers from Wu Jing to resist the Longlang Army and escort the migrant soldiers and civilians.

Because the Western Expedition Army drew out a quarter of its troops, Zhou Yu had to temporarily postpone the attack on E County, and some loopholes appeared on the encirclement network. Su Fei, the commander of E County, was able to transport some of the supplies, and finally led 3,000 soldiers to retreat on a boat and fled back to Xiakou.

Zhou Yu couldn't catch up with him and only seized several cities along the river, including Xiling, making it possible for Sun Quan to migrate again.

In mid-March, the fleet of the Dragon Wolf Pioneer Gan Ning appeared on the river northeast of Chaisang. The scary wolf-headed flag could be seen clearly from the top of the city. Chaisang immediately entered a state of alert. However, Gan Ning did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but led the fleet to wander around, which made the defenders of Chaisang tense and exhausted from time to time.

On March 17, Zhou Yu led a large army to join forces with the Cao and Liu coalition forces on the river north of Xiakou, and the three families of Sun, Cao and Liu were officially united. What they had to face was the last line of defense arranged by Huang Zu in Xiakou. This line of defense was dominated by Chen Jue and Su Fei as the deputy general, commanding nearly ten thousand Jiangxia troops.

The Jiangxia army set up a checkpoint on the dangerous cliff on the bank of Xiakou River. It was filled with rolling wooden stones and was high above the trespassers and people and boats were destroyed. The river surface was made of two thousand-hu of tres and stolen. Several cables were pulled up as thick as arms, blocking them across the river. No ship was allowed, and no one could pass by it from now on. The only entrance was the water gate under the dangerous cliff, and there was a huge rock above the head...

With such strict defense, even the soldiers of Sun Cao and Liu, who had a strong morale, did not dare to act rashly. They could only investigate the terrain while thinking about countermeasures.

A few days later, the Jingzhou side sent an envoy Han Song to mediate and mediate. However, Cao Liu was stingy and was not easy to say anything. Jiangdong side did not buy it at all. Zhou Yu even accused Huang Zu of killing Sun Jian at the banquet. When talking about the sadness, he couldn't swallow his food and stopped chopsticks and cried.

Han Song had nothing to say except crying.

The efforts to peace failed, and the next step was to continue the war to the end.

Just when Huang Zu was almost calling his mother, he received a letter from Ma Han, the commander of the Dragon Wolf Army, informing the result of the Battle of Pengze. At the end of the letter, Huang Zu gave a timetable. If you persist for a month, the Dragon Wolf Army would meet with the Jiangxia Army in Xiakou and attack the three coalition forces together.

This letter gave Huang Zu, who was about to collapse, and finally ignited his confidence in the battle. So, like Sun Quan, Huang Zu ordered the people to ride fast horses around the city to strengthen the confidence of the military and civilians. As a result, the confidence of the military and civilians in Jiangxia was high, and the coalition forces on the opposite side were also anxious.
