The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 463 Volume Betray Sun Ce!

Great! It's Guan Yu!
We definitely can’t take Jiangling City!

What made Zhou Yu despair was not Guan Yu in front of him.

But once Guan Yu appeared here, it meant that the court's hand that had been restrained by Cao Cao in the Central Plains was completely freed, and it could swing its iron fist and hit Jiangdong hard!
Guan Yu has arrived, so could the reinforcements from Shu be far away?

And since the imperial court can send one pillar of the country, it can certainly send a second and a third...

As the imperial court gradually shifts its strategic focus from the Central Plains to Jingzhou, the situation in Jiangdong will only get worse in the future!
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, but still wanted to try it one more time.

"attack!"

Immediately, soldiers from Jiangdong drove their warships towards the Jiangling Water Gate.

But the water gate opened in an instant, and then the sound of war drums came out from it!

Several brand new warships set out from Jiangling City.

The leading general had a similar figure to Guan Yu, also holding a large sword, and glared at the Jiangdong soldiers coldly.

Guan Ping!

"Zhou Yu! How dare you, an old man, plot against your Grandpa Gan! You are courting death!"

Gan Ning took the lead and rushed directly to the warships of Jiangdong in his battleship, wanting to engage in close combat with the opposite side!
More than that.

Just not far from Zhou Yu, a large amount of water suddenly exploded on the water surface!

Zhou Yu looked up in surprise, only to find that there was a small Thunderbolt chariot loaded on Guan Ping’s boat!

Ever since the Battle of Crossing the Hebei River, when the Thunderbolt Chariots were loaded onto ships, the generals and soldiers of the Han army discovered that the Thunderbolt Chariots and ships were the best combination!
The flexibility of the boat makes up for the disadvantage of the Thunderbolt car being difficult to move.

The lethality of the Thunderbolt Chariots also made up for the weakness of the ships in surface attacks.

The combination of the two has become a powerful weapon in water warfare!
And there’s more than just Thunderbolt cars!

Zhou Yu soon heard a sound of breaking air that made his scalp tingle!
"Commander-in-chief! Take cover!"

The personal soldiers around him held Zhou Yu down, thus preventing him from getting injured.

Zhuge Liannu!

Like the Thunderbolt Car, they are both weapons of war that are too large and difficult to move!

But as long as it is installed on a ship, it will become a super weapon for water battles!
Not to mention that there was the extremely brave Gan Ning at the front, who led his men directly onto the boat and personally overturned an entire boat of Jiangdong soldiers!

Taishi Ci wanted to fight back with all his might, but the method of installing the Thunderbolt Chariot and Zhuge Crossbow on the warship was obviously too unsolvable. This made Taishi Ci think for a moment that he was not fighting a naval battle, but an extremely difficult siege!
"withdraw!"

Zhou Yu knew that there was no need to continue the battle.

The imperial navy.

In the distance there are the Thunderbolt Chariot and Zhuge Crossbow.

Gan Ning bravely fought with others with his short sword...

It would obviously be unwise to continue fighting.

As the Jiangdong navy withdrew, cheers broke out in Jiangling City!
After the catastrophe!

Wen Pin stood on the wall and leaned towards Guan Yu beside him: "Thank you, General Guan!"

When Wen Pin heard that Gan Ning was about to attack, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

After all, Jiangling was built on the water. Without naval support, one side of the city would almost be ceded to Jiangdong.

If Zhou Yu really led the navy to attack, even Wen Pin could not guarantee that he could defend Jiangling.

Fortunately, Guan Yu arrived in time with boats from Xiangyang, otherwise things would have been really bad!
At this moment, Gan Ning also climbed onto the city wall.

Gan Ning, who has always been upright and always treated everyone as the boss, now feels inexplicably guilty.

But Guan Yu was obviously not going to blame Gan Ning, but asked Gan Ning: "If I hand over the ships to you now, how long will it take to restore the navy's combat effectiveness?"

"The ship is a dead thing! It's the people who actually operate the ship!"

Gan Ning promised a deadline: "In half a month at most, my soldiers will be able to operate the ship skillfully!"

"Add to that the Thunderbolt Chariots and Zhuge Crossbows, and the power will definitely be even greater than before!"

"it is good."

At this moment, Guan Yu finally revealed the court's plan in full.

"Pang De and Lu Xun have already set out, heading straight to Jiangxia from Tongbai Mountain!"

Wen Pin and Gan Ning's eyes lit up!
"So what our army needs to do is to contain Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's main forces to the west of Jiangxia, making it easier for Pang De, Lu Xun and others to cut off Sun Ce's retreat!"

Gan Ning immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Half a month...too late!

"Five days! I'll let them eat and live on the boat for the next few days, so they can get familiar with the boat as soon as possible!"

Gan Ning proposed a new deadline, and this deadline obviously satisfied Guan Yu.

"Okay! Five days! Then we'll take the initiative to attack on the sixth day!"

"Here!"

……

Zhou Yu retreated back to Chibi.

Sun Ce and Lu Su both celebrated to Zhou Yu for defeating Gan Ning at Junshan.

"What's the point of winning a useless battle?"

It is said that the Battle of Junshan was won, but Gan Ning was not annihilated.

Now that Guan Yu has brought the ships from Xiangyang, Gan Ning’s navy will be able to recover its combat effectiveness soon.

With the naval guards and Guan Yu, a pillar of the country, in charge, Jiangling would never fall in this lifetime.

Sun Ce could only comfort Zhou Yu: "But no matter what, we have won the battle after all!"

Since the emperor went east, has anyone been able to achieve a victory at the hands of the imperial court?
Zhou Yu was able to defeat Gan Ning at Junshan, which was a great boost of morale!
"Even if Guan Yu came here, he might still be victorious!"

Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand. "Gongjin, take a few days' rest! Once you have recuperated, we will use the land and sea forces to attack Jiangling!"

"Guan Yu is not a god. As long as we seize the opportunity, we may be able to defeat him!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yu had no choice but to agree to Sun Ce's request and go back to rest.

While Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were reorganizing their troops at Chibi, Pang De, Lu Xun and Lu Meng finally arrived at Xiling, the county seat of Jiangxia County!
Sun He, the defender of Xiling, did not expect that a group of soldiers would suddenly appear from the rear at this time. He was terrified and was quickly captured alive by Pang De after the city was breached!
"Good! In this way, as long as we capture E County across the Yangtze River, we can block Sun Ce's retreat route!"

Just when Pang De was about to send Lu Meng and Lu Xun to attack E County, a soldier suddenly came to report that Gu Yong, a subordinate of Sun Quan, came to meet him.

Pang De thought that his actions had been known to Sun Ce, and did not want to see Gu Yong, but Gu Yong broke into the tent and shouted: "General, don't you want to take E County and gain unprecedented merit?"

Pang De suddenly realized that the other party seemed... not an enemy?
Inviting Gu Yong into the tent, Pang De asked, "Do you want to surrender to the court?"

"I just want to kill Sun Ce to avenge my family!"

Pang De raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"General, you should know that Sun Ce slaughtered the great families of Jiangdong for no reason, and his crimes are numerous!"

"When I heard that the general had captured Xiling, I guessed that the general had come from Runan over the Tongbai Mountains to cut off Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's retreat!"

"In that case, the general and I have the same goal, so why can't we cooperate?"

The other party was so straightforward that Pound almost couldn't react.

"You...want to betray Sun Ce?"

"I have never acknowledged Sun Ce as my master, so how can I say I betrayed him?"

Gu Yong: "General, if you want to completely cut off Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's retreat, in addition to capturing Xiling, you must also capture E County on the other side of the Yangtze River!"

"The commander of E County is my old friend Zhu Huan. As long as the general agrees to one condition, I can let Zhu Huan give up E County to help the general defeat Sun Ce!"

They actually used E County as a condition!

How big is the hatred between Sun Ce and these Jiangdong families?
And Pound also started thinking at this moment.

Since Gu Yong already knew his movements, it was obviously impossible to take over E County easily.

If they failed to capture E County, they would not be able to trap and kill Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

With just one condition, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci, Lu Su, and the 50,000 main forces of Jiangdong can be eliminated...

This deal is too good to be true!
But for the sake of caution, Pound still asked: "What are the conditions?"

"Let the emperor agree to enthrone Sun Quan as the King of Wu of the Han Dynasty, and forbid him from attacking Jiangdong in the future!"

"what?"

Pound's eyes widened: "Who are you talking about?"

Sun Quan?

Isn’t that Sun Ce’s younger brother?

Moreover, when the emperor took Sun Ce's family away, Sun Quan was the only family member that Sun Ce was reluctant to hand over!

But now Sun Quan... is just going to sell out Sun Ce like that?

Pang De was already having trouble keeping up with Gu Yong's train of thought.

Gu Yong also said: "When the news that the general accompanied the governor of Runan, Man Chong, to send 2,000 pieces of armor to Jiangdong reached Sun Quan's ears, Sun Quan immediately believed that this was just a trick of the court!"

"But Sun Quan did not inform Sun Ce of the news. Instead, he asked me to come to E County and wait quietly."

"It was not until I heard that Guan Yu had arrived in Jingzhou that I knew the battle for Jingzhou had already come to an end."

"Our sincerity is so strong, doesn't the general believe us?"

Bond's expression was extremely strange...

Dear brothers and sisters!

What a brotherly relationship!
The one who led all this was actually Sun Ce’s younger brother Sun Quan?

As for his only relative, Sun Ce, he was just sold without any consideration?
At the same time, Pound was also extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, Sun Quan was a friendly and respectful brother.

Otherwise, wouldn't his army be ambushed by the Jiangdong army who knew the news in advance as soon as they arrived at Xiling City?
but……

King?

Pound shook his head.

"Only the surname Liu can be crowned king!"

"This is a rule established during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. How can Sun Quan be enthroned as king?"

Gu Yong said, "Even during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, there were kings of different surnames like Wu Rui!"

"If that's the case, why can't Sun Quan be king?"

Pang De knew that this matter was of great importance. If he sent a message to the emperor, it would delay the opportunity, so he could only find Lu Xun and Lu Meng to discuss it.

When the two heard this, they also gasped!
Lu Meng even shouted angrily: "I thought I was thick-skinned enough, but I didn't expect that Sun Quan would be so shameless!"

It was rare for Lu Xun to show indignation.

Because his father died early, Lu Xun has always attached great importance to family affection, and he is obviously somewhat disgusted with what happened to Sun Quan!
"How about it? Can you agree to it?"

Pound's mouth was dry.

Sun Quan’s conditions were too harsh, but E County was crucial to this battle. Pang De now didn’t know whether to complete the deal!

“I can do it!”

Lu Xun, who had always been an invisible figure, stood up at this crucial moment.

"As long as Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and the 50,000 Jiangdong troops are destroyed, how long can Sun Quan resist?"

"But I'm afraid the specific conditions will need to be changed!"
