The two three-masted warships that were sunk this time were sunk because they underestimated the enemy, got too close and then were blown up by the catapult. …
However, in the battle from last night to today's daytime, Cao Jun wiped out tens of thousands of Wu Jun's main forces, and he himself suffered more than 1 casualties. In the center of the most intense battlefield, this level of casualties is inevitable.
General Cao Ying came to return.
It is estimated that their soldiers have gained a lot, so all of them have bright smiles on their faces.
Fankou camp, Sun Quan's camp has now been occupied by Su Fei.Cao Cao did not relax his vigilance, and ordered his army to cross the Yangtze River immediately, and he was relieved until he established a complete cross-river supply line.
Until this time, Cao Cao ordered a big celebration banquet, which completely relaxed the soldiers for three days.
……
Sun Quan, Cheng Pu and his party did not return to Chaisang City until midnight.
Along the way, they were silent. Although they were all exhausted, they did not force themselves to rest until they got to the city, where they barely rested for one night in the rebuilt Chaisang city.
At dawn the next day, the county government office in Chaisang City was already full of civil and military officials.
Sun Quan sat on the throne, ready to discuss with everyone the next strategy to deal with the enemy.
I am afraid that there is no need to say more about the current situation. Everyone knows that Zhou Yu's life and death are unknown now, and Cao Jun's crossing of the river is already a certainty.
The natural danger of the Yangtze River no longer exists, so they now have to focus on how to stabilize the situation and how to block Cao Cao's further attacks.
In the hall, there was no sound.
All the civil and military officials bowed their heads in silence, not knowing what they were thinking.
Only Lu Meng's face was obviously anxious, and he was very worried about Zhou Yu's safety.
But Sun Quan didn't open his mouth, and Lu Meng couldn't ask directly. After all, he, like Huang Gai and Zhou Yu, was the planner and participant of Zhou Yu's plan, and from the current point of view, only him, Lu Meng, is still alive and well.
At this time, everyone selectively ignored Lu Meng's existence, which was actually another kind of protection.Otherwise, such a major strategic mistake will definitely be held accountable.
In the hall, the highest rank in the army is another governor, Cheng Pu.
Cheng Pu looked at Sun Quan's expressionless face, knowing that Sun Quan was the scariest at this time, but other people could keep silent, but he couldn't stay silent for a long time.
Cheng Pu sighed inwardly, then stood up and said: "My lord, for the current plan, we should block the river mouth on the Chaisang line as soon as possible to prevent Cao Jun from going down the river.
At the same time, fortifications must be built on land to resist Cao's advance from land.
Our army is newly defeated, and there will definitely be turmoil in the rear. Those Jiangdong aristocratic families suppressed by the lord may take the opportunity to collude with Cao Cao, alas..."
As Cheng Pu spoke, he couldn't help sighing.Without it, the current Jiangdong is like a warship riddled with holes. One hole is blocked, only to find that there will be more holes.
After hearing Cheng Pu's words, Sun Quan's face changed a little, but his face became even uglier, "In your opinion, Chaisang can still hold on?"
Hearing this, Cheng Pu replied with a wry smile: "It should be possible to hold on now, but it probably won't last long.
Even a fortified city like Xiangyang can't stop the artillery attack. Although the newly built Chaisang city wall is tall and thick, it can't compare with Xiangyang city.
And even if I wait to defend for a long time, Cao Cao only needs to attack from other places, and our army may be defeated one by one.
If the governor is not here, there will probably be rebellions in Yuzhang and Luling."
It’s okay not to mention Zhou Yu, but Sun Quan’s face immediately changed when Zhou Yu was mentioned, “Great Governor, Great Governor! Without Zhou Gongjin, you wouldn’t be able to fight, would you?!
It is extremely rare for Sun Quan to lose his composure in public like this.
Everyone was silent in Sun Quan's anger, not even daring to take a breath.
Chapter 572 The Difference Between Zhou Yu and Lu Yan
Without the natural danger of the Yangtze River, Chaisang would be a place of four wars.
Cao Cao is now stationed at Fankou, and Sun Quan also knows that it is impossible to defend for a long time.
The reason why he was so angry was because the whole army relied too much on Zhou Yu, as if the loss of Zhou Yu was like the death of the lord. Bah!Sun Quan is the master.
At this moment, only Lu Su dared to accept Sun Quan's anger.
Sure enough, only Lu Su dared to stand up and comfort him: "My lord, just listen to me."
Seeing Lu Su stand up, the anger in Sun Quan's mind slowly subsided. He snorted coldly and said, "Speak up!"
"My lord, I think we can no longer be greedy for the terrain of Chaisang City"
"But you should also know that abandoning Chaisang City means abandoning the entire Ganjiang River Basin south of Hukou, and the entire Yuzhang and even Kuaiji may not be kept!"
Sun Quan loves his own territory!Do you want to watch the three-acre land that is not much in the first place fall into Cao Cao's hands?
Lu Meng is a hard-core fighter. After hearing Lu Su say that Chaisang could not be defended, he stood up and retorted: "Lieutenant Lu (Lieutenant Zanjun, mainly assisting Zhou Yu in military affairs, similar to joining the army), you are afraid that Cao Cao , but we are not afraid! Chaisang is the gateway to Jiangdong, so we cannot lose it!"
Lu Meng's words made Sun Quan and Lu Su's eyes focus on him.
The gazes of the two immediately calmed down Lu Meng, and then a trace of shame appeared.
However, at this moment, a soldier on duty suddenly broke into the hall.
With joy on his face, the soldiers shouted excitedly: "My lord, my lord! The great governor is back!
"
"Wow!"
The news of Zhou Yu's return immediately seemed to drop a heavy bomb on the calm lake, not to mention the splash of water, even the entire lake was blown up.
"Did I hear you right? The governor is still alive!"
"Hahahaha! The governor is back, he's back!
"
"Great! The governor is back! We are saved!"
Not to mention generals like Lu Meng who were already friendly to Zhou Yu, even veteran generals like Cheng Pu and Han Dang couldn't help but be overjoyed at Zhou Yu's return.
The hall erupted instantly, and everyone felt extremely joyful and excited for Zhou Yu's return.
However, only Lu Su noticed Sun Quan's tightly clenched fists!
"You guys, this is going to kill the governor!" Lu Su murmured bitterly in his heart, and then he quickly made amends and shouted loudly: "Everyone! My lord is here, why are you acting like this?!"
Everyone was a little baffled by Lu Su's drink.
It wasn't until they saw Sun Quan's livid face on the main seat that they all came to their senses, and hurriedly lowered their heads and stood obediently back to their original positions.
At this time, Sun Quan took a deep breath and asked the soldiers who came in to deliver the order: "How many people did Gong Jin bring back?"
The soldier's originally happy expression became a little embarrassed at this moment: "There are probably three or five people."
"Three three five people???"
Isn't that the whole army wiped out? !
This question made the generals who were ecstatic before lower their heads immediately.
But the soldier continued: "The governor himself seems to be seriously injured, he was carried back on a stretcher by his personal guards!"...
"Ah! The governor was seriously injured?!" Lu Meng couldn't help exclaiming when he first heard it, and immediately covered his mouth tightly.
It seems that because of hearing that Zhou Yu was seriously injured, the hatred in Sun Quan's heart dissipated a lot. Thinking of Zhou Yu's wife being captured, the hatred in Sun Quan's heart completely disappeared.
"Well, after all, he didn't do it on purpose, and he is much worse than me, so why should I be a villain again?"
Thinking about this,
Sun Quan said to the soldiers who sent the order: "Put Gong Jin in my house first, and then go find a famous doctor in the city to treat Gong Jin!"
"Here! Let's go, little one!" The soldier turned around and ran away in a flash.
After everyone heard Sun Quan's arrangement, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Sun Quan could hold back the anger in his heart and make the best choice, Lu Su couldn't help admiring the lord even more.
Now that Zhou Yu is back, it doesn't make much sense for them to beep here again.
Sun Quan waved them away, but Lu Su stayed silently by himself.
After a while, when Sun Quan raised his head and was about to leave, he suddenly found that Lu Su was still standing in the hall, looking at him quietly.
"Zijing? Why are you still here?" Sun Quan asked in surprise.
"My lord is wise, I admire you!" Lu Su took two steps forward, bowed ninety degrees and made a big salute, then praised him sincerely.
Sun Quan naturally knew why Lu Su praised him, but he smiled bitterly and said, "Aside from comforting Gong Jin, what else can I do?"
Yes, appeasing Zhou Yu is equivalent to appeasing most of the soldiers in the army
Apart from doing this, does Sun Quan have other options?
From here, Lu Su heard Sun Quan's fear of Zhou Yu, so he could only comfort him: "My lord, Gong Jin is your brother Sun Ce's sworn brother, and he will definitely not have second thoughts about Jiang Dong!"
"That's right, he has no second thoughts about Jiang Dong, but for me, Sun Quan, not necessarily."
Lu Su was at a loss for words for a while. After all, Zhou Yu's prestige in the army was much higher than that of Sun Quan. It is understandable that Sun Quan was afraid of Zhou Yu.
However, Lu Su still thought of an example, so he said: "Master, you and Gong Jin are like Cao Cao and Lu Yan.
That Lu Yan holds three heavy troops of infantry, cavalry, and naval divisions, and has such peerless generals as Zhao Zilong, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. He also has a brotherly relationship with Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai
When it comes to the status in the hearts of soldiers, Lu Yan is probably several floors higher than Cao Cao, right?But have you ever thought about the reason why they have been able to maintain an intimate relationship? "
After Sun Quan heard this, he also felt a little hesitant.
"I'm also surprised. Lu Yan has made great achievements in Wenzhi and martial arts. According to Cao Cao's suspicious character, shouldn't he be afraid of Lu Yan?" Sun Quan said to himself, then turned to Lu Su and asked: "Zijing, tell me, what is the difference between Gongjin and I, and Cao Cao and Lu Yan?"
Where is the difference?
If you let Lu Yan say: The difference is actually not small, but the biggest one is probably that you lack a [Heavenly Destiny Notebook]!
But it was impossible for Lu Su and the others to know this, so Lu Su could only express his thoughts: "Lu Yan was born as a commoner, and his background is clean and innocent.
They met before they got rich, and Lu Yan himself did not like fame and wealth, nor was he greedy for money. His greatest wish was to let the people of the world live a good life. All these are probably the reasons why Cao Cao maintained absolute trust in Lu Yan. "
Sun Quan heard the words and said clearly: "It means that Lu Yan's character is the root cause?"
Well, all the problems have now been brought to Zhou Yu. Lu Su was a little dumbfounded, but he couldn't deny it, "It's true, but there is only one Lu Yan in this world!"
Sun Quan took a deep breath, finally shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, a pity, if it was not Cao Cao but my father who met Lu Yan, then what would the world be like?"
Chapter 573 Sun Quan is almost graying with worry
The first snow since winter has stopped.
The soldiers began to clear the snow in the camp one after another, and in the gradually falling sunlight, they formed a peaceful and harmonious picture.
Lu Yan stared at the snowflakes falling on the Yangtze River in a daze, and felt as if he had passed away in an instant.
Unknowingly, it has been almost twenty years since I came to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When he was young, because he had no one to rely on, Lu Yan only wanted to make a living with his little knowledge of future generations.
Later, when Lao Cao raised his army, Lu Yan also successfully entered Cao Ying as a small official by relying on his ability to read and write.
Originally, he thought that he could rely on Lao Cao to be stable and earn enough food and clothing, but he never expected that Lu Yan would awaken his own Heavenly Dao system.
Although this system seems to be just a system with no emotions, it still gives Lu Yan hope for a better life.
Going around for more than ten years, looking back now, Lu Yan has become the top of the world's small group of masters, and has an unparalleled reputation in the hearts of the common people and soldiers...
Logically speaking, in this case, the drama of the master of high meritorious deeds should be staged, and then the protagonist is disheartened under the persecution and pursuit of the second master, and finally takes the beauty back to the mountains and forests...
But for some reason, Cao Cao, who has always been known to be cunning and suspicious, has always trusted Lu Yan more than his own son... Bah!It should be trusted more than brothers.
Every time he thinks of this, Lu Yan can't help but sigh with emotion: "It seems that history still has many misunderstandings about Boss Cao..." As everyone knows, all this is actually thanks to the system!
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past, and Lu Yan, who had no innate qi to protect his body, couldn't help shivering and even sneezed violently.
"Ah!
"Sir, are you sick?"
"Oh, it's Zilong!" Lu Yan turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Yun, so he asked, "Zilong, another year has passed, when do you plan to marry your little junior sister?"
When Zhao Yun heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his resolute face, and he said, "This... originally planned to get married next year, but now there seems to be a little problem..."
"Problem?" Lu Yan asked with some doubts: "What's wrong?"
"The Fan family who was rescued before, I don't know why they suddenly become better friends with my younger junior sister than real sisters... They plan to... er..." Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed to continue, but Lu Yan had suddenly realized.
"Good thing! Then I have to congratulate Zilong, you are enjoying the blessing of everyone! Hahaha!"
