Chapter 58 There are also old people in Jiaozhou

Luling and Xindu were lost, and the brothers Sun Kuang and Sun Yi died in the battle. When the two news came back to Wu County, Sun Quan was stunned.

I thought that the two brothers held heavy soldiers in their hands. If they persisted, they could support it for a while, and then sent troops to raid the rear, and they could win inside and outside. I don't want Sun Kuang and Sun Yi to lose so quickly and have no strength. Before I could react, the two places had been completely defeated.

"Uncle Bi, Ji Zuo!" Sun Quan muttered the names of his two brothers, and his whole body staggered a few steps. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spewed out. Pan Zhang and others were shocked. They hurried forward to support Sun Quan, and then ordered the doctor to come to the diagnosis quickly. After a diagnosis and treatment, Sun Quan finally woke up leisurely. Looking at the concerned people in front of him, Sun Quan sighed and said astringently, "Guys, is there a good policy in the current situation?"

Everyone turned around and looked at me. I looked at you. Finally, Lv Meng summoned up his courage and said, "Lord, now I can only take one step at a time. If it really doesn't work, let's go to Yizhou across the ocean and become a foreigner!" Everyone was silent when they heard the words.

Lv Meng can be said to be the most radical main faction under Sun Quan's command. Now even he thinks it's better to plan early and prepare to run away, and the rest of the people can't say anything. Sun Quan nodded. When he was waiting to speak again, he heard the maidservant who served the old lady come to report, saying that the old lady had fainted when she learned that her second son had died. Sun Quan was worried about his mother's health, so he quickly suspended the discussion and forced himself to visit his mother.

"Mother!" When Sun Quan arrived, Wu Guotai had just woken up, but he still couldn't move around. He could only lie on ** to recuperate, and several women were taking care of him. Seeing Sun Quan coming, Wu Guotai's tears rushed down like broken beads. He grabbed Sun Quan's hand and cried, "Zhongmou, Uncle Bi and Ji Zuo have gone, and I only have a son like you!"

"I know, mother!" Sun Quan also burst into tears when he heard the words. He has five brothers, three of whom have been lost, and there is also a half-brother Sun Lang. Wu Guotai lost her husband first and then her son. For more than ten years, her relatives have passed away one after another. Now she is really like a knife.

Although Sun Quan was sad, he still forced his energy to comfort his mother. It was not until his mother drank the medicine and fell asleep that he left the room. Second brother, can't we really beat Liu Bei? As soon as she went out, a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl pulled Sun Quan's sleeve and asked. This tearful look is matched with her beautiful appearance, which is also pitiful.

"Xiang'er, don't worry, the second brother has another way." Sun Quan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and reached out to wipe the tears on his sister's face. Looking up at the big Qiao who came, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Mother's health is not very good. My sister-in-law said that she should pay more attention to her, and her little sister." Sun Quan patted his sister's head as he spoke. Even if it was his generation of heroes, he couldn't even slow down when he lost his second brother in an instant.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of the things at home." Big Joe had nod and nodded quickly. Suddenly, Big Joe seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked, "There is one thing I have always wanted to ask my uncle. At present, my uncle is the enemy of Liu Bei. My sister is in Chaisang. Will she be implicated?"

"Liu Xuande has always regarded himself as benevolence and righteousness. In addition, his sister is the widow of Gongjin. Liu Bei is still polite to the Gongjin people, and he will not be against her in any case." Sun Quan heard her mention of Xiao Qiao, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, but he still tried to answer as much as possible. After a pause, he didn't even know what his motive was. Sun Quan said again, "In addition, your sister is very close to Zhao Feng, the general under Liu Bei. With his protection, you should be safe."

"Then I'm relieved." Da Qiao nodded, and then came to his senses. He asked Sun Quan in disbelief, "Uncle, do you mean the Zhao Feng who killed Bo Fu with the dark arrow and alienated Gong Jin?"

"Exactly!" Sun Quan looked at Da Qiao's crazy expression, and he also had a different feeling in his heart.

"How can Ying'er have friends with such a person!" Da Qiao said angrily, and Sun Quan half-truthfully persuaded a few words, so he left to be busy with his own affairs, leaving Da Qiao full of doubts and annoyance and the young Sun Shangxiang not to mention it.

It's not to mention that Sun Quan's heart is burning now. At this time, in Shixin County, Gao Lan and Huang Zhongxian later reported that all the counties under Xindu County had been recovered, and they waited for the army to go to Poyang.

"Shi Yuan, Zilong, what do you think we should do next?" Zhao Feng spread the map on the table and invited everyone to come and watch it. Pang Tong looked at the map and then muttered for a long time: "At present, we have two choices. One is to converge General Ji Ling's people and go south to Huiji to solve Lv Fan there; the other is to go west to Poyang to clean up Sun Gao there. According to the Malay report, Lv Fan of Huiji has 10,000 defenders. Although Sun Gao of Poyang has only 4,000 infantry to defend the city, there are still 10,000 water troops stationed in Poyang Lake. When our army attacks the city, he may raid the rear of our army at any time. In terms of troops, there are more troops in Poyang. At present, according to the unified view, it is better to attack Poyang first. Huiji Mountain City is steep, and it is not easy to attack for a while. Although there are many defenders in Poyang, the city is short, and our army's siege equipment is sharp, which may go down one by one.

"It's so good!" Zhao Feng also felt that it was safer to play Poyang first. It was easy for him to play last time. At the moment, he was ordered to inform Ji Ling of Luling and let him make a posture of going eastward. In addition, Yin Li was asked to lead 10,000 troops to station in the new capital to prevent Sun Quan from attacking from the back of Wu County. Zhao Feng himself led the army to fight Poyang first.

"Poyang is where Poyang Academy is located. I don't know what happened to the students there. Will Sun Gao make it difficult for them?" During the march, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered a problem. Pang Tong was slightly silent when he heard the words, and finally said uncertainly, "After all, Poyang Academy was founded by Sun Ce. I don't think Sun Gao will embarrass the students there." The tone is not very certain.

" By the way, Shi Yuan, it was Sun Gao who kidnapped Mr. Zibu in Wu County and then cheated into opening the gate, right?" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered another key question and hurriedly asked Pang Tong.

"Exactly, what, did the general think of anything?" Pang Tong asked in surprise.

"Before sending troops, I always wondered why Sun Quan returned to Jiangdong so smoothly. Although the military strength was not relaxed at that time, and it was also internal annihronized, it was really unusual for Sun Quan to occupy the four counties so quickly. It's as if he has been planning for a long time and is waiting nearby. When General Ji Ling and General Guo Yi's reinforcements left Jiangdong, he immediately led the army. Zhao Feng said leisurely.

"It seems so, but it is too strange. It should be noted that Sun Quan is not a prophet. How can he know that General Ji Ling and General Guoyi are going to help Jingnan and Shangyong, and how can he be so quickly transferred from Jiaozhou to Jiangdong by sea? If the Tibetan soldiers are on the side, but Jiangdong is adjacent to the coast, how can he hide the soldiers on the vast sea? Maybe it's just a coincidence." Even if Pang Tong's wisdom is outstanding and imagination is relatively rich, he obviously feels that Zhao Feng's inference is a little alarmist.

"It's hard to make a conclusion at present. It's best to catch Sun Hao alive after breaking through Poyang, so that you can find out the truth." Zhao Feng sighed. In the previous battle of Xindu, although thousands of soldiers were captured, after interrogation, they all said that they went south from Gaoliang to the South China Sea after Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong. The Jiaozhou army that really attacked Wu County and Huiji are all left behind in these two places. However, Sun Zhao was originally in trouble in Wu County, and only went to Poyang afterwards. Zhao Feng estimated that he should know the reason for this.

Let's not talk about Zhao Feng and Pang Tongyi Road all the way forward. At this time, under the guidance of the local Wuxi barbarian indigenous people in Wuling County, the Jingxiang Water Division of Ganning finally found a river that could go south to the hinterland of Yulin, so as to avoid the terrible miasma on the land. Later, Gan Ning knew that the river was an artificial canal excavated by the First Emperor of Qin during his southern tour. It's just that after him, the emperors were not very interested in going south, and the river had not been used much, so it was forgotten until now that it was almost a little abandoned.

At this time, it was late November. Gan Ning estimated that the miasma should have almost dissipated. Together with Zhang Nan and Feng Xi, they led 30,000 water troops south to Jiaozhou to prepare for a pot to draw money. Before leaving, Shi Guangyuan came up with a strategy. Gan Ning and others thought it was wonderful when they heard it, and now they acted according to it.

When Sun Quan left Jiaozhou and returned to Jiangdong, Jiaozhou also left some troops and horses stationed, and his uncle Sun Jing and Sun Jing's eldest son Yu were in charge of all matters. At present, more than 20,000 people are stationed in the four counties of Yulin, Guanzhu, Gaoliang and Jiaozhi in Jiaozhou, and even Zhuya County, which is isolated overseas, has 3,000 defenders. Their task is very simple, which is to ensure the stability of the rear and keep in touch with Ling Tong stationed in the South China Sea at any time. In case of failure in Jiangdong in the future, Sun Quan can also return here.

"Father, Cangwu's Huo Jun is stuck here, which is really annoying. Let the child lead the army to sweep this guy, so as to connect the road with the South China Sea!" In the pastoral government of Jiaozhou on this day, Sun Yu proposed to his Laozi.

"No need. Although Cang Wu is still in the hands of Huo Zhongmiao, we can still connect the South China Sea through Gao Liang, so we don't have to spend a lot of time for it." Sun Jing very clearly rejected her son's proposal.

"But it's a long way to go through Gaoliang to Jiangdong after taking the South China Sea. There are only thousands of people guarded by Cangwu Huojun. The child led 10,000 athletes and could take them in an instant. Sun Yu obviously did not give up his idea and continued to give advice.

"What my son said is not bad, but there are only tens of thousands of people in Jiaozhou at present. If the troops are divided again, in case the Jingzhou army comes from Jingnan, what can I do?" Sun Jing frowned. Sun Yu sneered at his father's worries, and replied with a smile, "If the people of Jingnan want to go south, they will only take those mountain roads, which are full of places where they can't be closed. We only need to send more than a thousand people to keep the key points, so that we can keep Jiaozhou safe and sound.

"That said, you still need to be careful. It is our best policy to stick to the city and leave a foundation for the Sun family. Sun Jing has always been more stable. As a bystander, he experienced that Sun Jian died in Jingzhou 13 years ago and Sun Ce died in Shouchun five years ago. These bloody lessons told Sun Jing that if he was too brave and fierce, the end would never be too good. Sun Jing asked herself that martial arts are not as good as her brother and nephew, so she should pay more attention to convergence.

"Your Excellency, the leader Ruan sent someone to send a letter." At this time, a sentry came in a hurry and handed a letter to Sun Jing. Sun Jing took it and opened it. He had always been calm, but his expression was quite surprised after watching it.
