Chapter 24 Choice
"Good!" In the hall of Xuzhou Mufu, Liu Bei held a silk book that had just been delivered in his hand. He, who had always been calm, jumped up in a rare way. Bo Tao has captured Danyang and went straight to Wu County!" Liu Bei came to his senses and briefly introduced the situation to everyone in the hall, and everyone suddenly had an uproar.
"Lord, I'm afraid that before the summer, we can calm down Jiangdong!" Under the good situation, Mi Zhu is also very optimistic. Everyone had a heated discussion for a long time, and then Chen Qun stepped forward and said, "Your lord, since you have taken the two counties, you can come to the front line and boost your morale!"
"It's true!" Liu Bei was also full of ambition when he heard the words, and then frowned and asked, "I don't know who is willing to stay in Xuzhou?"
When everyone in the hall heard the words, they immediately looked at me and I looked at you. Who would like to stay in the rear when making contributions? At this time, Sun Qian suddenly stepped forward and said, "Lord, you have captured Lujiang and Danyang now. Why didn't you move the government to the south?"
"Southern migration?" Liu Bei was also a little stunned when he heard the words, but then he understood what Sun Qian meant. At present, Xuzhou Zhizhi is in Kaiyang, which is close to Qingzhou and Yanzhou border. In addition, this area is a plain of Pingchuan. Liu Bei's position in Xuzhou is like a garrison on the border. It's just that the relocation of this place is very extensive. At the same time, the matter in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet stabilized, so Liu Bei made a little calculation and still wanted to wait until the war is a little bit.
"Order, transfer Wei Wenchang back to Xuzhou to guard Langya, Zang Xuangao to defend the State of Lu, and beware of Cao Yan!" Liu Bei issued two orders in a row, and then decided to go to the Danyang front line through Shouchun.
Unlike the complacency of the people in Xuzhou City, at this time, there is a solemn atmosphere in Wujun City. Wuhou Sun Quan, who had just turned 19 years old, his eyes were congested and panting. He sat on the main seat like an injured beast. Wen Wu, who was standing on both sides, felt difficult to breathe for a while.
"That is to say, the county of Danyang has been lost now?" For a long time, Sun Quan said astringently, and his voice was hoarse.
"Ext of this, General Shubi and Yuan Tan were both captured." Zhang Zhao, who was beside him, said feebly.
"Zhao Feng captured Danyang, which can deter Wu County. This man now has an army of 100,000, and he will go straight to Wu County at any time. What can he do? There is a weak interface among the officials in the hall, which is Bubuzi Mountain. When everyone heard the words, their hearts were a little blocked.
"Don't worry, Lord. There are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Wu County, and there is enough food and fodder. I understand that Zhao Feng has nothing to do!" As a childhood best friend who grew up with Sun Quan, Pan Zhang had to come out to inspire some low morale at this time.
"Except like this, please pay more attention. The Xuzhou army may attack at any time!" Sun Quan suddenly regained his spirit, and then without waiting for everyone to have any higher opinions, he immediately announced the end of the discussion and prepared separately.
"Lao Si, what's the matter?" Sun Quan looked up and saw that everyone retreated. There was only a teenager who was only about 15 years old who was still wanting to speak. It was his fourth brother, Sun Kuang and Sun Jizuo.
"Second brother, do you think the third brother fell into Zhao Feng's hands, right?" Sun Kuang's lips trembled, and he didn't say anything after all.
"Sshu Bi's surname is strong and fierce. Anyway, it won't weaken the reputation of my Sun family!" Sun Quan said resolutely, but there was still a trace of pain in his eyes.
"At present, Zhao Feng has gone straight to Wu County, but he wants to adjust Yu Zhang's army to help back?" Sun Kuang didn't want to continue this heavy topic, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Gong Jin confronted the Jingzhou army there. How can she leave easily?" Sun Quan frowned when he heard the words. Seeing his brother say this, Sun Kuang gritted his teeth and asked, "Brother, do you think Gong Jin is really reliable?"
"Ji Zuo, what do you mean by that? Gong Jin is the sworn brother of the eldest brother and a brother-in-law. He has always been the first general in my Jiangdong. At this moment, I don't rely on him. Who can I rely on? Sun Quanyi said solemnly, but there was still a complicated look in his eyes.
"Brother, I also know that it is easy to doubt that it will chill everyone's hearts. But you see, the Xuzhou Army has been in two counties in a row, but he is still confronting the Jingzhou Army. Sun Kuang's lips shivered a little, but he still reluctantly said these words. Seeing that Sun Quan was a little silent, Sun Kuang continued, "Brother, why don't you transfer some people back to guard Wu County first!"
"No way!" In Sun Kuang's stunned look, Sun Quan had categorically rejected his brother's suggestion. The city wall of Wu County is dangerous and has enough food and fodder to resist 100,000 troops. Moreover, even if Wu County loses, he can still retreat to Huiji. At present, the north side is broken. If there is another failure on the western line, the east of the Yangtze River will be in danger. Sun Quan also sighed when he said this, and then patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Ji Zuo, don't let outsiders know the words of talent. You and Lao Wu should also practice martial arts well, study military books, and help me pick up this beam early, you know?"
"Brother, I understand!" Sun Kuang nodded and said that the two brothers were relatively speechless for a long time. At the same time, Zhou Yu and others in Yuzhang were also shocked to hear the news of Danyang's loss. 30,000 horse horses stationed in Danyang, how can they easily fall? Cheng Pu's first reaction after hearing the news was false.
"The people of Shanyue besieged General Shulang. General Shubi was concerned and sent troops to rescue. As a result, he was ambushed by the Xuzhou army. After that, Yuan Tangong was cheated into the door by the Xuzhou army." Zhou Yu also briefly introduced the situation, and the generals were even more heavy when they heard the words.
"If the Xuzhou army captures Danyang, it can go straight to Wu County, but can it go back to the division to rescue?" Cheng Pu first thought of the most direct question. There is no need for this. Wu County still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers who can stick to it. At present, the most urgent thing is to break the Jingzhou people on the other side first. Zhou Yu said in a low voice. At this time, a small school came to report, and the Jingzhou army began to attack again.
"Liu Pan attacked very fiercely today!" Dong Xi was a little surprised. Most of them knew that Danyang had fallen and wanted to take advantage of the fire. Inform the defenders of Chai Sang and Poyang to guard against the Xuzhou Army. I'd better break the Jingzhou Army first!" Zhou Yu's tone was as calm as ever. After the arrangement, he went out of the village to command the battle, and the generals hurriedly followed.
"Lord!" In Danyang City, Zhao Feng, Lu Su and others solemnly welcomed the newly arrived Liu Bei. The public is exempt from the gift!" Liu Bei also smiled brightly, and the group came to the guard of Danyang County. Bo Tao, Zi Jing, I have seen that Jiangdong is indeed a rich place all the way. Although several places have experienced war, most of the people in the city are still living and working in peace!" After sitting down, Liu Bei sighed with emotion.
"It's all up to everyone to minimize casualties and take the city!" Zhao Feng also introduced Sun Fu, Pang Tong and Huang Zhong, the three people who had just defected to Liu Bei in detail. As for Sun Yi and Gu Yong, the former saw Zhao Feng and couldn't wait to work hard. In the face of Zhao Feng's persuasion to surrender, the latter only said, "My family is all in Wu County." He didn't say anything. Zhao Feng knew that he didn't have the ability to persuade them to surrender now, so he had to be detained first. However, Sun Yi's martial arts skills are not bad. Naturally, he should be strictly guarded and detained in prison. As for Gu Yong, a literati, he was directly under house arrest.
"It's not easy!" Liu Bei also sighed after hearing about the process of taking Danyang in detail. In fact, Pang Tong's strategy was a little adventurous at the beginning. First of all, whether Sun Yi would be deceived, and secondly, whether the Jiangdong army could be annihilated in one fell swoop after being ambushed, and secondly, whether the fraudulent city would be seen through. Zhao Feng knew that if the generals guarding the city were relatively fine He Qi, or more brave Tai Shici, he and Pang Tong might not be able to make contributions. As for why Sun Quan did not guard Danyang, the critical place, but gave it to Sun Yi. Zhao Feng estimated that he would probably trust them as well as his own brother. After all, Sun Quan was also a suspicious person in history.
"Now that Danyang has gone down, I don't know how Bo Tao will prepare for the next step?" After understanding the general situation, Liu Bei began to prepare for the next strategy. At present, Danyang is already stable, and there are two places for the front, Wu County or Poyang. Wu County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Sun family is here at all. If you can attack at one stroke, you can get twice the result with half the effort; Poyang is relatively easy to attack. If you attack Poyang, you can attack Zhou Yu with the Jingzhou army, but it takes more time. Zhao Feng briefly introduced the situation. Liu Bei also nodded gently when he heard the words and gave Zhao Feng a quiet look. The latter immediately changed the topic and talked about something else first.
In the evening, Liu Bei secretly summoned Zhao Feng, Lu Su and Pang Tong where he stayed. The first two are the highest person in charge of Liu Bei's action, but the latter is Zhao Feng who proposed to bring him together. There were a lot of people in the morning, and some words were inconvenient to say. Bo Tao, Zi Jing, thank you for your hard work in this battle against the south of the Yangtze River!" Liu Bei looked at the two people in front of him and sighed with emotion.
"Why do you worry about the internal affairs!" Zhao Feng and Lu Su also thanked when they heard the words. Liu Bei smiled and said, "How can I not miss you? Don't say it's me. Even Prime Minister Cao, who is in Guandu, is also worried about Bo Tao!"
"Huh?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised when he heard the words. At this time, Liu Bei told him that there was an imperial edict issued to Xuzhou. However, although Liu Bei is a lieutenant of the current dynasty, he can appoint military positions, but the generals of the four expeditions and four towns are the talents of the country. He cannot be easily appointed and must be appointed by the emperor himself. Therefore, Zhao Feng's general of the south, His Majesty the emperor, was temporarily withdrawn and replaced by the appointment of Xia Houyuan. As for Zhao Feng, the imperial edict appointed him as General Fenwei at the same time.
"The Prime Minister Cao is so loving that he still has time to take care of me, Zhao, in his busy schedule. He is really flattered!" Zhao Feng was also a little angry and funny when he heard the words, and Cao Mengde was also a little stingy. However, General Fenwei is also okay. Although he is also a miscellaneous general, his rank is one level higher than his former bandit general, and also a level higher than the current Sun Quan's rebellious general, and he can still have his own general's mansion.
"Shi Yuan, I have wronged you!" Zhao Feng turned his head to "comfort" Pang Tongdao. The salary of the captain of General Fenwei's Mansion is worse than that of Captain of General Fenwei's Mansion. Pang Tong also knew that Zhao Feng was joking when he heard the words. He smiled and said, "Then Tong can only help the lord to beat Jiangdong first, and then snatch Sun Quan's rebellious general and become himself!" Everyone laughed when they heard the words.
When the laughter paused, Liu Bei waved his hand and asked, "I don't know where Bo Tao intends to enter the army next?" This is the point. At present, Zhao Feng, Pang Tong and Lu Su have different views on the next direction of action. Pang Tong has always liked to take risks. At present, it is suggested to attack Wu County directly and make a quick decision before Zhou Yu's return aid. Lu Su advocates stability and suggests that he should fight Poyang first and attack Zhou Yu, so that it will not be laborious for Jiangdong's general trend to attack again. Zhao Feng wants to use the method of siege points to surround Wu County and attract Zhou Yu's return aid at the same time, so that he can take the opportunity. There is a living force to eliminate Jiangdong, but Lu Su and Pang Tong do not agree with this method very much. Both of them believe that even if Sun Quan is mobilized, Zhou Yu may not put down the war on the western front and ignore the return of aid.
After listening to the three people's words, Liu Bei was silent for a while, and then took out a silk book from his arms and gave it to Zhao Feng. The latter opened it and was immediately overjoyed.
