Chapter 232 Tai Shici Faces Accusations
As the main general who presided over the attack, Tai Shici reported the information collected on the battlefield to Sun Quan. Of course, Sun Quan also learned from other scouts about the fierce fighting between the Jiangdong army and the Jingzhou army on the waterway and land.
"... Lord Sun, the situation of our war with the Jingzhou army is roughly the same as above. After nearly half a day of fierce battle, we won a complete victory on the waterway and destroyed more than 10,000 enemy troops. In the jungle on land and the Battle of Hulukou, we killed nearly 20,000 soldiers of the enemy army... At the same time, we lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and the vanguard governor. Ling Cao suffered an accident and died at the hands of the enemy general..." Tai Shici's face was calm and reported the specific situation to Sun Quan without sadness or joy.
For the number of soldiers lost by his side, compared with the number of soldiers lost by the enemy, even if the death of the archer Ling Cao is a heavy blow to Jiangdong Group, the enemy also lost dozens of fierce generals at the same time... As a result, Sun Quan can still accept it. He just wanted to open his mouth and say a few words to Taishi Cijia. He left the following Zhang Zhao bowed his hand to him first. After that, Zhang Zhao did not care whether Sun Quan agreed or not. Zhang Zhao squeezed out a little smile and said to Zhou Yu, "Zhou Dudu, I congratulate you on leading Jiangdong Shuilong to make an impressive record. Congratulations to Zhou Dudu on breaking through the confinement at a critical moment, entering the innate realm, and becoming an excellent super fierce. Will..."
Under the infection of Zhang Zhao, others also bowed their hands to Zhou Yu to express their respect and congratulations. After that, when Zhang Zhaozheng turned his face to Taishici, his face suddenly became cold. He stared at Taishici like a knife and gritted his teeth and asked, "Taishidu, why don't you try to kill Huang Zu, the leader of the thief, in the jungle? As far as I know, you had the opportunity to kill Huang Zu at that time... Tai Shici, why didn't you kill Huang Zu at that time, but made a command mistake in the battle, which almost killed the soldiers of this history and General Han? Taishici, what do you want to do? I belong to the Jiangdong camp. How can you bear to do this? ..."
Originally, it was an atmosphere of celebration. No one expected that Zhang Zhao would ask Tai Shici so face to face. Even Sun Quan was stunned on the spot and was at a loss. In the face of Zhang Zhao's overall victory of the Jiangdong Army and Zhang Zhao's blameless accusations of almost picking bones in the egg, to everyone's surprise, Tai Shici could actually laugh.
Tai Shici smiled and shook his head to Zhang Zhao and said, "Zhang Changshi, you are not at the scene. You just blame me according to hearsay. It's really unfair! ... Lord Sun, Zhang Changshi, all colleagues, you don't know: At that time, I did have the opportunity to kill Huang Zu on the spot, but who knew that Huang Zu had a power, and the general means could not hurt him at all... Finally, I only used the 'Shadowless Archery' and Lianzhu arrow method to shoot his arm when he fled in a hurry... ...Zhang Changshi, if you lead 800 cavalry and 4,000 infantry in the second battalion and suddenly encounter 4,000 enemy cavalry in the second battalion, how can you command the army to fight and protect the lives of your subordinates? ..."
Everyone present knows that cavalry is innately restrained by infantry. After all, cavalry can rely on the power of the horse's charge. That kind of superimposed power is not something that ordinary infantry can bear.
"What? Shadowless archery? ...The archer's archery can't hurt Huang Zu? Taishi Dudu, don't you still have the first attack array in the world..." Zhang Zhao looked at Tai Shici with a suspicious face. Han Dang, who knelt next to him, also shook his head in agreement... Because of the tacit cooperation between the two, most of the people here did not believe in the words of Tai Shici.
Tai Shici looked at the confused faces and eyes of the generals, and suddenly felt powerless. He could only swallow his anger and tell the truth: "Zhang Changshi, you don't know that the trapped camp has no effect on Huang Zu... At that time, I saw that the trapped camp had no effect on Huang Zu. In order to hide his strength, I have not started the trap camp..."
As soon as Taishi Ci said this, Zhang Zhaohan should not believe it, but Zhou Yu began to doubt whether Tai Shici had ulterior motives... At this moment, Sun Quan, who was kneeling on the throne, frowned and explained to the crowd, "Guys, as Taishi Dudu said, the fact is that the dog thief Huang Zu is indeed capable of power, and at the same time, his red dragon Zhanjia also has a strong defense... In those years, my brother Sun Ceming's martial arts skills were higher than Huang Zu's, and he couldn't kill him as he wanted. Huang Zu did have the ability to deal with the fall of the camp... At that time, in order not to let the morale of his generals be low, my brother Sun Ce deliberately concealed this secret..."
What Sun Quan said is reasonable: Anyone who faces an immortal enemy will feel desperate... Due to Sun Quan's face-to-face clarification, the generals will change their positions and believe in Tai Shici's remarks.
In the face of Sun Quan's strong support, Tai Shici expressed his gratitude to Sun Quan with a grateful face. And Sun Quan just winked at Taishi Ci, which meant: Taishi Dudu, you have been wronged...
As the object of criticism, Tai Shici certainly knows the reason: the superficial reason is that Zhang Zhao and Handang's clan soldiers have suffered too much damage. As the suzerain of the clan, they can't bear this result. The deep reason is that they are dissatisfied with Sun Quan's pres over the power of Jiangdong, so they want to do everything to Tai Shici, who is favored by Sun Quan. All kinds of ways to grab braids and wear small shoes... Of course, their excuses are for the overall interests of Jiangdong Group...
This is called: insidious and cunning, especially from the same camp, which is unpreventable...
In order to relieve the tense atmosphere, Zhou Yu bowed his hand to Sun Quan and said, "Master Sun, at that time, near Jiangxia County, due to the rash appearance of a super fierce general with the archer's art, in order to preserve our strength, we took the initiative to give up the opportunity to kill Huang Zu in front of us..."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Yu Guang looked at Zhang Zhao, which meant: Zhang Changshi, you can embarrass Taishi Dudu's intention is too obvious. Why don't you accuse Ben Dudu for not seizing the opportunity to do his best to kill Huang Zu? ......
When Zhang Zhao heard Zhou Yu's words, he looked at Zhou Yu's injured arm with concern and said with a smile, "Lord Sun, Zhou Dudu's choice at that time was right. If we didn't choose to retreat at that time, we couldn't kill Huang Zu. I guess we would lose a few fierce generals..."
Zhang Zhao's attitude is obvious: he is to unite all the forces that can be united, isolate Tai Shici, and hit Sun Quan by attacking Taishi Ci, and then attacking Sun Quan... He still expects Sun Yi to take office and replace Sun Quan.
Sun Quan nodded to Zhang Zhao with a calm face, and then he asked Zhou Yu softly, "Zhou Dudu, how is your arm?!"
"Thank you for your concern. My subordinate's injury was only a skin injury, and it didn't hurt my muscles and bones..." Zhou Yu thanked Sun Quan gratefully, and then he said to Sun Quan thoughtfully, "Lord Sun, if it hadn't been for the mercy of the super fierce general at that time, I guess my subordinates would have died on the spot..."
"Uh-huh..." Sun Quan also nodded thoughtfully, "Who is this super fierce general... Why didn't we know that Huang Zu still had such a powerful existence before?"
Zhou Yu shook his head blankly in the face of Sun Quan's inquiry. At this time, few people in Jiangdong's group knew Gan Ning's identity, except for Taishici and Lu Su. However, at this time, Tai Shici knew Gan Ning's identity and origin, and he could not tell Sun Quan frankly. The time was not ripe. As the master of the Cao Gang, Lu Su knew Gan Ning's origin and identity, but he was not there. At this time, he was still recruiting all kinds of talents for Sun Quan everywhere...
Finally, Sun Quan inspected the crowd and said to everyone without anger, "Guys, although we have missed the opportunity to kill the dog thief Huang Zu for the second time, in general, we have completed the battle plan made at the beginning... I would have been very sad about the unexpected death of the vanguard governor Ling Cao... I would have returned to Jian. After Ye City, he must bury the brave soldiers who died in this battle, and at the same time appease the families of the fallen soldiers..."
According to the original idea, Jiangdong Group took advantage of Huang Zu's arrogance and arrogance to arrange troops: First of all, in secret, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu, the governor of the Water Dragon Army, to transport troops with a building ship, occupy the gourd mouth dozens of miles away from Jiangxia County, and set up an ambush; then the waterway and land road go hand in hand... Facing the Jiangdong Army Huang Zu, who has some blatant infringement, will definitely be desperate to refuse the enemy outside the city and obstruct the leading team of the Jiangdong Army...
