Chapter 203 Willing to go alone

The mid-to-late December is the coldest moment of the year. Compared with the land, the northerly winds on the island continue to stop all day long, making people even more chill. Lu Xun and Xu Daofu wrapped their bodies tightly and walked towards Sun En's residence under the wind. Compared with the coldness on their bodies, their mood was colder and no one could see where the way out.

The two consecutive defeats, especially the crushing defeat at Jingkou City, were even more fatal. This was not only due to the loss of half of the entire army, but also due to the heavy impact of the unexpected change in victory and defeat on morale. Half a year has passed, and the morale of the entire army is still sluggish. Intuition tells them that in this life, they may have to guard the island for the rest of their lives.

However, Sun En was still full of energy, acted as a sergeant, and sent people to spy on Kuaiji's intelligence, and acted as if he was at any time to counterattack.

Along the way, they were all guessing the purpose of Sun En's summoning, but they were still unable to figure it out. With the discussion, Sun En's house appeared in front of him and was taken to the main hall after being reported.

In the room, there was a raging charcoal fire, giving people a warm feeling. Sun En was just like the scorching air, his face was red and his eyes were filled with excitement!

Is there a happy event, but where does this joy come from? The two exchanged puzzled eyes and saluted, "The last general has seen the general, but I wonder why the general summoned us?"

"Come on, sit down quickly and drink some hot tea to warm your body!" Sun En was in a good mood and greeted him repeatedly.

After Lu Xun and Xu Daofu thanked him, they came to the lower head and sat down. After two sips of hot tea, their bodies became warmer immediately, and then they turned their eyes to Sun En.

Sun En said seriously: "According to detailed investigations, the Wei family led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to sea as early as early October. It has been more than two months and has not returned yet!"

Sun En's words were stupid, and both Lu Xu were stunned. Lu Xun asked quickly: "Do you know where he went?"

Sun En shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter where you go. What's important is that don't you think this is a great opportunity for our army to get out of the predicament?"

Xu Daofu's face changed drastically and said in disbelief: "General, are you going to attack Kuaiji? Although the Wei surnamed left, he only brought 10,000 infantry and cavalry. According to the estimates of the last general, it should be about 40,000. In other words, Kuaiji still has 30,000 troops. After our defeat in Jingkou, the brothers who fled back from the fleeing were only more than 40,000. With the remaining personnel on the island, they can only raise more than 60,000 at most. Even if you lead 50,000 troops to attack, the morale of the army is now low, and you will be rashly sent troops to attack 30,000 defenders with 50,000 troops. I am afraid that the chance of victory is very small. Please think twice!"

"Hey~~" Sun En waved his hand indifferently: "The Wei army is like a god. The safety of Kuaiji is all about him. If he is not here, why are I afraid of it? In fact, I am not unaware. It is almost impossible to break Shanyin with the little troops in my hands, but I can easily break Shangyu and Yuyao Zhucheng. On the one hand, it can boost morale, and on the other hand, it can plunder some wealth and women to give the soldiers a tooth sacrifice. The last point is to avenge the previous shame!"

"Damn it!" As soon as Sun En mentioned this, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes and said hatefully: "That day we all thought it was Liu Laozhi coming to help, which caused great chaos in the morale of the army. Unexpectedly, it was the guard who led five thousand cavalry alone to go deeper. He was a coincidence and arrived in the dark. If it were the day, he would definitely teach him how to come and go!"

Lu Xun and Xu Daofu both had a deep feeling of confusion, and they both showed signs of annoyance. Afterwards, they found out that it was Wei Feng who rescued Jingkou, not Liu Laozhi, who imagined Liu Laozhi. But what could be the only way to sigh that God was trying to mess with others? If you lose, you will lose, and time will not be able to return.

Sun En also sent someone to sneak into Shanyin to find an opportunity to convince the surrendered soldiers to use it again, but sadly discovered that the tens of thousands of people were determined to follow Wei Feng wholeheartedly and could not find any opportunity to surrender!

Thinking about it, I don’t think about it, I have to whitewash my identity, divide the land and land, and I heard that I can still divide women. Who would want to run to the island to live a life of half-death? As for the Sanguan Emperor, go to the gods! The Sanguan Emperor could only let someone chew dried fish, but couldn’t bring white rice!

Lu Xun looked out the house. He didn't know how long this kind of life could last. There was a world of difference between land and island life. Sooner or later, the morale of the army would collapse and the soldiers would sneak away. If possible, he was willing to surrender to the court, but Sima Daozi was in power. When the army was launched, he fought against the emperor. Will Sima Daozi give up?

"Oh~~" Lu Xun sighed bitterly and bowed upwards: "The general's plan is good, but Liu Jinu was appointed as the prefect of Juzhang by the court and led 10,000 water infantry troops. This person should not be underestimated. If our army attacks Kuaiji, what should he attack from the side? Can the general consider it?"

Sun En pondered: "The Northern Army and Kuaiji are in conflict, and everyone in the world knows that Liu Lao's counterpart Liu Jinu went out to guard Juzhang. According to my opinion, it was to restrain Kuaiji, not to deal with me. Therefore, I am 80% sure that Liu Jinu may stand by and watch."

"This..." Lu Xu and the others looked at each other. They didn't understand where Sun En got the confidence. The elite troops of the Northern Mansion Army had already seen it. As long as there was a slight mistake, tens of thousands of people in the entire army would fall into a state of doom!

Xu Daofu followed and advised: "General, Liu Jinu is simple and simple, strict and lawful, Tianxi is brave and powerful in the world, and is not an ordinary person! Looking at Daofu, it is not inferior to the Wei surname. Extraordinary people should have extraordinary means and should not be judged by common sense. By the way, Daofu also heard that Liu Jinu and Wei surnamed Wei are quite inconsistent, and seem to have the intention of giving his widowed sister to him as a concubine. Therefore, Daofu thought that if you attack Kuaiji, Liu Jinu would probably ignore Liu Lao's response from the side. General, you must pay attention to it!"

Sun En's face darkened and said unhappily: "If you want to achieve great things, how can you look forward to it? 50% of your confidence is a pair, let alone 80% of your confidence? Missing this time, once the Wei surname returns, we can only be a dream to attack Kuaiji again!

Do you two think that cruising the island can survive? Humph! That's just a delusion! If the court does not spare the manpower and material resources, you and I will never get the isolated island even if you are willing to live a life! I have decided to send 50,000 troops to attack Shangyu within ten days! If Shanyin has the opportunity to take advantage of it, then we will rush our troops to the west. If it is invincible, we can simply let go of our hands and feet and kill them, and prepare some New Year's goods for the soldiers. Moreover, I sent troops two times in spring. This time, it is out of the ordinary and regardless of the severe cold of winter, it will catch Kuaiji off guard. What else do you have to worry about?"

Although Sun En was full of ambition, Lu Xu and the other two were not so optimistic. The battlefield situation was ever-changing, how could it be as he expected? Not to mention anything else, even if Liu Yu stood by and watched, the 30,000 Kuaiji defenders were a hurdle that could not be avoided. You must know that Kuaiji army is no longer the same as before, and it is no longer the soft county soldiers as they used to be, but the military and well-armed, well-trained, and high morale, which is close to the existence of the Northern Prefecture Army!

On the other hand, my morale is low, and I still have local clothes and linen clothes, and my army is not uniform. What else can I do besides barely gaining the advantage of having a large number of individuals?

Lu Xun and Xu Daofu looked at each other, stood up, and walked to the hall and bowed deeply. Lu Xun gritted his teeth and advised: "Although the general is reasonable, how can the Wei surnamed did not make arrangements before leaving? Please beg the general to act recklessly. According to Xun's opinion, it is better to live on the island and watch the changes in the court.

The Wei surnamed Wei was an ambitious person. He was not only incompatible with the Northern Army, but also had an unsolvable mortal hatred with Sima Daozi. If the general stopped fighting, Xun Dan would predict that there might be major changes in Jiangdong within one or two years. What's more, Huan Xuan would occupy the upper reaches of the river and would sooner or later enter the capital to attack Sima Daozi. If Sima Daozi was completely disappointed, he would not be the enemy of Huan Xuan. General. We might as well send people to Jiangling to ask Huan Xuan for surrender. When he issued an edict, he would raise troops to respond. After the matter was completed, he would be the governor of a remote small state. Huan Xuan should agree. At that time, we should stay away from health. On the one hand, we should observe the movements of the court, and on the other hand, we would accumulate strength secretly, and may make a comeback!"

Xu Daofu then added: "If Huan Xuan goes to the Jin Dynasty and rests the people, we will simply return to the court. It is also impossible to be ministers of the Jin Dynasty. Please think twice!"

In the eyes of the two of them, attacking Kuaiji is an act of dying quickly. Only Lu Xun's proposal is Xu Tu's plan to slow progress. Advance can be used to glimpse the center, and retreat can protect himself. Sun En could not understand it. However, Sun En actually showed anger and said coldly: "Subordinate to Huan Xuan? You can think of it! Huan Xuan has been in nothing and annexed Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quan for only a few years. It can be seen that he is a cruel, cunning and treacherous person. If I lead tens of thousands of troops to join him, how can he not covet it? I am afraid that it will take not long before you and I will follow Yin Yang's footsteps! Okay, there is no need to persuade me. I have decided to attack Kuaiji!"

"Pu, pu!" Xu Daofu and Lu Xun knelt down quickly. Xu Daofu said anxiously: "Even if the general is unwilling to surrender to Huan Xuan, we can also take advantage of the chaos in the court to lead our troops to attack Guangzhou. Guangzhou is high and far away, and the court is out of reach. The general takes Guangzhou as the foundation. If the court is in a daze, Guangzhou can send troops to capture Xiang, Jiang and Jing, and occupy the upper reaches of the river. Once the time is right, we can go downstream and attack Jiankang directly. If it is not good, we can become the lord of the southern country. Wouldn't it be better than being unable to leave Kuaiji, and were killed by the Wei and the Northern Prefecture Army, and eventually end up with defeat?"

"Guangzhou?" Sun En's eyes shone coldly: "The plague, wilderness in Guangzhou, with poisonous insects everywhere, isn't it a place where people stay? One thousand words, ten thousand words, you are actually afraid of the Wei and the Northern Army, and dare not attack. Humph! Since you are afraid of life and death, why should you follow me to cause trouble?"

With a "Zheng!", as if he was extremely angry, Sun En pulled out his sword and pointed it at Lu Xun!

"Brother-in-law!" Lu Xunhu's eyes were filled with tears and cried, "Xun and Futang are not greedy for life, and they really don't want you to seek death! If you don't believe it, just come here, and see if Xun can dodge?"

Lu Xun straightened his back, took off his clothes, revealing his strong chest to face Sun En!
