Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 742

"This action has completely aroused the anger of the Shanyue people. Tens of thousands of Shanyue are ready to fight with Xiaowei He. If the troops are withdrawn at this time, the Shanyue people will definitely follow. If they cooperate with Cao Jun, then Kuaiji and Wujun are in danger!"

Zhang Zhao, who was refuted, frowned and said, "According to you, doesn't it mean that our army can only sit and watch Cao Jun force him?"

Yu Fan said neither overbearing nor overbearing: "Zi Bugong, if the Governor of Zhou and the Department of He Xiaowei are transferred, it is just drinking poison to quench thirst, it is equally undesirable."

Sun Quan couldn't help sighing when he saw the two people talking, but still couldn't say anything high.

Suddenly, Sun Quan turned his gaze to Lu Su.

"Zijing, what can you do?"

Hearing Sun Quan's opening, Zhang Zhao and Yu Fan stopped arguing, while Lu Su stood up and saluted Sun Quan and the people around.

"My lord, just as Duke Zibu and Duke Zhong Xiang said, the situation is critical and reinforcements should be deployed, but the deployment of reinforcements will definitely affect other situations. It is really drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Obviously Cao Cao had planned for a long time. It was a long-term plan to lead the army to contain the Zhoudu Governor. This is the case for the surprise attack on Lou County."

Hearing Lu Su's analysis, some people from the left and right civil and military generals came to understand. It turned out that Cao Cao attacked Lujiang with great fanfare, not really to take Lujiang County, but to send a surprise army to annex the entire Jiangdong.

The grumpy Ling Cao shouted: "Mr. Zijing, we all understand what you said, but now that Cao Jun invades my county Wu, you have to find a way out."

Lu Su looked at Ling Cao: "School Wei Ling is safe, and I will talk about it soon."

Sun Quan also looked forward to hearing this. Regardless of the seniority of Zhang Zhao, Yu Fan and others, they are quite good at managing localities and handling government affairs, but they are not very good at this kind of conspiracy, and Lu Su is different.

"First, our army made a statement to the Luoyang court and asked Liu Ye to send troops to attack Cao Cao's homeland and encircle Wei and save Zhao."

Lu Su sternly said: "As today, the East and the West are standing side by side, Cao Cao and Liu Ye each support the emperor, and most of the princes under the world have accepted the canonization of the two emperors together, and no one is guilty."

"But what our army needs to do now is to lean to one side and completely fall to the Luoyang court, claiming to be a minister on the table, and asking for reinforcements."

"Cao Cao and Liu Ye are in the same situation. If we annex Jiangdong, their power will inevitably expand. Liu Ye is definitely not willing to see this scene. Therefore, our army asks Liu Ye for help, and I will definitely get permission."

Sun Quan nodded, then frowned, "But the road from Jiangdong to Luoyang is far away. It will take a month to come and go. It’s hard to put out a nearby fire because of distant waters."

"Please don't worry, lord, someone has a second plan."

Lu Su had a confident face and smiled and said, "A certain family has a hundred soldiers, willing to organize into the Wu County defenders, to share worries for the Lord."

"But what use is a mere one hundred soldiers?" Ling Cao muttered disappointedly, while Sun Quan's eyes lit up.

"House soldier, house soldier!"

Sun Quan laughed loudly, while Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Yu Fan and other civil servants were all too good at it and laughed.

"Well, you Lu Zijing, okay!"

Sun Quan laughed loudly, looked around the civil and military officials on the left and right, his eyes bright, and he said loudly: "This battle is about the survival of my Jiangdong. Please take out all the soldiers in the mansion. As long as you can get through this difficult situation, you will definitely not be treated badly. "

Zhang Zhao was the first to stand up and say: "The old man is willing to provide fifty soldiers in the mansion to protect Wu County!"

"There are 150 private soldiers in a certain family."

"There are 80 private soldiers in a certain family, and they are willing to guard Wu County."

...

The officials enthusiastically said that a private soldier of nearly two thousand people was gathered together, plus the original guards of Wu County, the total is five thousand people.

"Zi Bu Gong."

Sun Quan bends over to Zhang Zhao and said: "Please ask Zi Bugong to persuade the rich family in the city to provide private soldiers and food and grass to help. After this battle is over, certain will definitely return it twice."

Zhang Zhao also politely said: "Please rest assured, this old bone will do its best."

Sun Quan nodded, and solemnly said, "Everything is on your behalf."

The situation in Jiangdong is different. The local family members generally raise hundreds or even thousands of private soldiers, store food, grass and weapons, and are extremely powerful. The reason why Sun Ce was able to sweep Jiangdong was because of the support of some clans, and the reason why Sun Ce was killed has a lot to do with the policies that were not in favor of these clans.

In fact, the ancient regime often borrowed money from others to counter the rebellion. For example, in the Han Jing Emperor period, in order to quell the Seven Kingdoms, but the military resources were insufficient, the generals had to borrow money from the wealthy households in Chang'an City. At that time, a businessman named Wuyan lent money to the army at ten times the interest. After the Seven Kingdoms was put down, he made a fortune.

Behind Li Hongzhang is Sheng Xuanhuai, and behind Zuo Zongtang is the red-top businessman Hu Xueyan. Zuo Zongtang pacified Xinjiang, thanks to the military expenses that Hu Xueyan raised for him.

Sun Quan said solemnly: "Don't tell the chief governor of the Cao Army invasion, just let him fight on the front line with peace of mind, and the supply of food and grass must be guaranteed in time."

"promise!"

Zhou Yu’s authority is very heavy. Although he is loyal to Sun Quan, Sun Quan always feels unhappy. This time Cao Jun’s invasion of Wu Jun is a good opportunity for him. If he can successfully resolve it, Sun Quan’s prestige will definitely be there. Great improvement.

After Zhang Zhao put forward the entrustment to many tycoons in the city, the tycoons in the city were more willing to help. After all, Cao Jun might not be able to secure Jiangdong. What should they do if they enter the city to burn, kill and loot? The Sun family was born in Wucheng County, Wu County, so if you can help, you still have to help.

Therefore, the rich family in the city provided Sun Quan with 1,500 private soldiers, as well as 3,000 stones for food and grass. As a result, the number of troops in the city reached 6,500, and the county soldiers in the surrounding counties were still in source. Constantly gather towards Wu County.

Sun Quan was confident enough to defend Wu County, but Xia Houyuan adopted another tactic.

Haiyan County, after receiving Sun Quan's transfer order, the five hundred garrisons in the county dispatched urgently to gather in the direction of Wu County.

Five hundred county soldiers, led by the county lieutenant, went all the way north on the official road.

"Hey, this group of recruits don't know when they can practice well."

County Lieutenant Zhu Zheng sighed, and from time to time he caught a few recruits who had fallen behind, and urged the five hundred recruits to move on.

The five hundred recruits complained incessantly. After dozens of miles of rushing marches, they had been sweating profusely and their legs and feet ached.

"Lieutenant, rest for a while."

"Yeah, let's take a break."

Zhu Zheng snorted: "Forget it, you group of recruits, stop, rest for half an hour before continuing to march!"
