Chapter 113 Swallow Wu (3)

The news of the invasion of the Shu army reached Jianye, and the entire Jiangdong senior management was shocked. When the envoy brought back Ma Mi's head, there was a voice reminding Lord Wu Sun Liang to be careful of the wrong actions of the Shu people. However, Lord Wu Sun Liang insisted that the Shu people would not come to rescue at most, and they still dared not break the situation of three parts of the world.

When Jiangdong couldn't support it, the Shu people would definitely send troops. This was the thought of the Lord Wu Sun Liang. Unexpectedly, the Shu people did send troops, but the target of the attack was himself. This was simply deceiving himself.

As an outsider, he would think about how Shu Han would fight against Cao Wei after destroying Jiangdong. For Jiangdong's senior executives, the first issue to consider is how to protect Jiangdong.

There was no news about the envoy sent out to ask the Wei people for peace, but the unstoppable war reports of Shu Han people and horses came all the way. First, the brothers of Xiling Supervisor and the Bulges and Xies died in battle, and the Shu people seized Xiling. Then the Shu army marched to Jiangling day and night.

What followed was that Lu Kang was defeated in Jiangbei, and then was ambushed by Liu Chan in Fancheng, and Wuling City, the largest city in southern Jingzhou, also fell.

The series of news made the Wu people not have time to react and didn't know how to react. Their envoys had not returned yet, but Cao Wei also began a landing battle to cross the river after seizing Nanyang County and Jiangxia County. There was panic in the country, and there were very few troops that could be mobilized.

Master Wu, Sun Liang, had bloodshot eyes, and he had not closed his eyes all night for this response. The Wu army in Ruxukou could still confront the Wei army general Wang Ji. However, the Wei army set out from Jiangxia had already arrived in Chaisang. Although there were a lot of naval troops there, it was only an emergency recruitment, which was insignificant compared to the opponent's strength.

"Your Majesty, I have collected 40,000 soldiers to support the front line." Lu Xi came to the palace with a look of fatigue and passed on the results to Master Wu Sun Liang.

The general of Wei State Wang Ji sent troops to attack Ruxukou in Huainan, forcing the Wu army in Jiangdong to divide their troops to support. Almost all the Jingzhou in the east were lost and several batches of troops were sent out. The current land of the Three Wus can gather 40,000 troops thanks to the contributions of major families.

On weekdays, aristocratic families attack each other and criticize them in the court, but at the moment of life and death, they are still working together. Whether it is Wei or Shu, the three-legged family has been standing for so long, and no matter how dissatisfied the domestic situation, they are unwilling to become slaves of the deceased country.

With the strength of troops, the generals are a problem. There are constant losses in various places, and there are not many generals who are good at fighting in the country. After we divide a few reinforcements, we can’t find useful generals and soldiers in the court. You should know that the opponents of Wu are Wei and Shu Han. Even the first-class generals in Jiangdong were defeated. How dare ordinary people lead troops?

"Can anyone choose the general who leads the troops?" Master Wu Sun Liang also said with a tired look on his face.

Lu Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "The court officials have many recommendations, but I have seen it all, which is useless."

Sun Liang's eyebrows were originally entangled, and he was even more frowning when he heard this. Jiangdong should have been full of talents, so why did it wither so much?

"Some ministers hope to use Ding Feng, Zhu Yi and others, what do you think about Wen Zhong?" Sun Liang said with a little excitement. Ding Feng and Zhu Yi and other generals were exiled because of the failure of the Northern Expedition, and Lu Kai and others also eventually led to a murder due to the repeated Chen Shu.

Lu Xi and Lu Kai are of the same clan, but they are different. Therefore, Lu Kai's death did not affect Lu Xi's status. Lu Kang and others represented the Lu family rather than Lu Kai, so they would not use the entire Lu family as a personal property just because Lu Kai alone.

A family can stand in one place for decades or even hundreds of years and continue to spread and prosper from generation to generation. Their characters and vision will never be limited to the life, death, honor and disgrace of a certain person.

Lu Xi pondered a little after hearing this, saying, "The major families have made great efforts in recruiting troops. If Ding Feng and others are to be re-activated, the court may still have to make plans."

"Well...what should the candidate be the moment?" Sun Liang knew that Lu Xi was also taking the overall situation into consideration. If the court made some inappropriate actions at this time, it would be difficult for the country to gather together to fight against foreign enemies.

"I am not talented, I would like to lead this army to Chaisang to resist the enemy." Lu Xi hugged her fists and said with great firmness.

"This... if Wen Zhong leaves, who should I rely on?" After Lu Kai and other groups of civil and military exiled, Sun Liang was unwilling to be influenced by the aristocratic clans in the court, and was unwilling to reuse the royal family because of the serious matters. Therefore, Lu Xi, who had lived in seclusion for many years, was activated. However, not long after, Lu Xi wanted to lead the troops away, which immediately made Sun Liang feel at a loss.

Lu Xi also knew Sun Liang's difficulties, but Sun Liang did not know his own difficulties. It was already his limit to gathering these 40,000 soldiers. As an important official who Sun Liang relied on, Lu Xi was not a member of his clan and had no connection with other aristocratic families.

He had his lips worn out and said he had drooled and had to get these 40,000 people. If he was handed over to an ordinary general and was defeated on the front line, it would be difficult for the country to raise some troops. The troops of the aristocratic families were all used to farm and labor in their own countryside, so how could they be transferred out for consumption by the country?

Jiangdong is in danger at the moment. At this time, he will do his best to support the fight against Wei and Shu. If someone fights in the future, he will not be the target of attack? On weekdays, Sun Liang deliberately alienates the major families and values ​​the grassroots class. How can he let the major families see the benefits of doing their best now?

Sun Liang can concentrate his power in his hands and eliminate the powerful ministers and unify the court. This is his intelligence. However, his temperament and temper may not meet the requirements of an emperor. These words can only be understood slowly by Sun Liang, but they cannot be revealed. Once he says it, it would be strange if Sun Liang is not angry.

At that time, not to mention foreign enemies, even internal friction with major families was enough to make Jiangdong hate.

Lu Xi is not a military general, but also a knowledgeable army. There are some talents in the Lu clan that can be used as their own arm and support. As long as you have a foothold in Chaisang and join the Lu Anti-Japanese Army and the nearby Wu army, I believe that with the power of the Jiangdong Navy, neither Wei nor Shu, you will be able to gain any advantage in water wars.

The Shu Kingdom and Wei Kingdom invaded the territory. The fundamental reason was to judge that Jiangdong would not last long and perish sooner or later, so they attacked with all their strength. If they could successfully block the army of the two countries in Chaisang and demonstrate the combat power of Jiangdong, after a long time, the two countries' ideas changed, Jiangdong could still choose one side as an ally.

"Your Majesty is a wise lord. As long as you are calm and you will be fine, no matter inside or outside the court, this battle is of great importance, and there are no generals in the court. If you lead your clan members to come, you can still fight."

After hearing this, Sun Liang did not make any movement for a long time. After a long time, he stood up and said, "I am so pretentious now. Wen Zhong is concerned about the war. I should organize a support for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I'm going to prepare now, Your Majesty should rest, the dragon body is important." Lu Xi barely cheered up and retreated.

If Xiling is regarded as the gateway to Jingzhou, then Chaisang is a gateway to Wu's mainland. Speaking of which, Huang Chong and Luo Xian led more than 30,000 naval troops to march straight in, downstream, with the troops heading directly to Chaisang. The Jiangdong Navy is used to support the army of the land and the defense at Ruxukou. As long as the speed is fast enough, it can seize this important town when the Chaisang navy is at least!

Although the Wu Kingdom was famous for its strong naval forces, its hydrology was unpredictable and not as easy to predict and investigate as land. Huang Chong went down the river along the way, very quickly and did not encounter any obstacles along the way. It was not until the Jiangdong navy in Lukou passed by from a distance that he discovered something.

The guard general of Chaisang was Wu general Tao Rui. He followed Shi Ji's Northern Expedition and fought side by side with the Shu army. When he met again, he had become an enemy, which made people sigh. Lu Zhan's successive defeats and even Lu Kang did not know where to go, which made the Wu army panic.

Even so, when I heard that the Shu army naval commander was so bold that he was advancing with the navy without fully controlling Jingzhou, he simply regarded the Jiangdong naval commander as nothing.

Tao Rui hopes to use water battles to enhance the enthusiasm of the military and civilians in Jiangdong, and the navy generals also want to boost the morale of the army with a complete victory.

The army of Chaisang hit it off and the navy was in tune with it. The navy was the first to attack the fleet of Western Shu, while the army was ambushing the landing area near the shore, waiting for assistance and cheering. Although the Shu army came with the navy, who guaranteed that there would be no enemy on the land?

The troops near Chaisang quickly entered the combat area according to Tao Rui's arrangement. In order to deal with the huge naval army of the Shu army, the Jiangdong Navy, in addition to the more than 15,000 people from the original formation, also collected nearby patrol ships and transport ships.

In terms of personnel, there are a large fleet of ships in the Jiangdong warehouse. Even the people who can control the ships were armed to their teeth and became members of the navy. Even if the fishermen are not fishing, they know how to understand the ships, there are still many people in the Jiangdong land. After the full mobilization of Tao Rui and the Jiangdong Navy, the Jiangdong Navy's troops reached 70,000!

The navy personnel increased sharply, and the army also had patriotic young people from all over the country to join. Although Tao Rui was young, he was well organized. He used the newly-entered military forces to garrison, deploy defense, patrol and guard the money and grain warehouses and other places. Chaisang's nearly 20,000 troops with good combat power were hidden by Tao Rui and used as mobile forces.

The water is an invincible navy that is invincible in the contemporary era. On the land, there are young generals with a wise and intelligent force. They merged tens of thousands of times to form a formation in Chaisang. Their reputation was not inferior to that of Lu Kang's main force in the north. But Lu Kang's main force was defeated and returned. Can these people defend Chaisang?

Just as the Shu Han navy was about to arrive, a fleet also appeared in the northern waters. The flag was the navy of Jiangxia of Wei. After Wang Ji tied the Wu navy in Ruxukou, this hopeful Wei navy rushed forward, which was also a coincidence.

It is an undecided thing to fight against the strongest Jiangdong naval army, or to find fighter opportunities for each of them, or to be defeated by the powerful Wu army. The only thing I know is that the Wu army is ready and just waiting for the Shu and Wei naval army to fight.
