Shu Chen

Chapter 376

Wuchang, the other palace of Lord Wu.

Sun Quan was present with the important ministers who sent troops this time.

It is no longer the staggered cups of wine and feasts of talking and laughing at the end of the year, but in silence, pouring and drinking by yourself.

Even the beauty and comfort of April in the world seems to dare not disturb the gloomy clouds here, so it quietly hides in the continuous summer rain.

Among them, Pan Jun, who had almost lost all his soldiers and horses, although his face was flat and showed no emotion, he kept drinking, which made it easy to know that he was worried.

This time he gathered all the ministries in Jingnan to invite him to join the war, intending to take advantage of this battle to expand the influence of Jingzhou scholars in Wu. Sun Quan also praised him out of balance, and he would also give him the opportunity to expand the ministries— —According to the practice of Jiangdong's military system, when rebels, recruits, and captives return, they can choose a certain percentage of young and strong people to make up for their own subordinates.

However, who would have expected that the Wuhuan Tuqi, who had disappeared for many years, would still be hiding behind the army against the Wei Dynasty in the Northwest?

For Pan Jun, the loss of soldiers and horses is second, because Sun Quan will also issue an edict in the future to ask him to recruit more troops from Jingnan counties to supplement them; He is headed up.

The worldly tradition of letting others be relatives, clansmen and younger brothers fighting together caused countless deaths and injuries to the relatives of Jingzhou scholars. How could they not resent Pan Jun who encouraged them to send troops?
As far as Sun Quan is concerned, he is also worried about Jingnan's future stability.

Since Sun Ce, Jiangdong has often used troops against Jingnan to avenge Sun Jian.

The continuous wars caused countless Li Shus to be in chaos, and this also caused countless Wuyue and Jingchu soldiers to gnash their teeth because of the death of their father and brother.

Even after he took advantage of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition to sneak attack and captured Jingnan and incorporated it into Jiangdong, the situation did not improve much.

There were countless rebellions in Jingnan before, and this was the reason for it.

And Pan Jun was the candidate he relied on to appease Jingnan, but after such a defeat, his prestige was greatly lost, and he feared that he would not be able to appease people's hearts in the future!
Ugh.
The current plan is to think about how to replenish Pan Jun's army and horses, and transfer Lu Dai to Jingnan to work with him to see if he can stabilize his place.

Or in other words, support another person to replace him?
Sun Quan, who was also restless, secretly weighed the maintenance of stability in the future.

As for the previous ambitions of breaking Hefei Xiashouchun and all according to Huaiyou Jintu Qingxu, let's hold back for now.

Countless soldiers have been killed, and all the soldiers are in panic. How can we talk about opening up territories at this time!
However, he didn't think about it for the time being, but Lu Xun, who was at the head on the right, was already thinking about the deployment of those soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, how much food, fodder and supplies could be transferred, etc., secretly planning and deducing the war.

There was a long silence.

While everyone was still drinking away their sorrows in silence, Lu Xun suddenly raised a cup to Sun Quan and said, "Your Majesty, I secretly think that the time has come!"

What is the time?

Hearing this, everyone immersed in gloom and gloom suddenly looked stunned.

After a while, they realized that it was the timing of the Yin attack on Huaiyou, and they couldn't help feeling a little annoyed in their hearts.

Without him, only Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin's troops did not fight in front of the battle this time, and their soldiers were almost unscathed.

Especially according to the previously unspoken agreement, once Sun Wuquan occupies Huaiyou, Sun Quan will bestow all the power of the newly acquired Jiangbei land to the aristocratic families in Wudi.

Is it not that others work hard while others enjoy their success?

However, the deployment of troops this time was the result of the collective efforts of all the people, even if they returned in a disastrous defeat, there was nothing to criticize.

"The meaning of Bo Yan is that against Wei Huai, the defense will be relaxed and evil?"

Sun Quan, who was stunned for a while, had his eyes burning for a moment, and asked a question back with some hesitation.

Indeed, according to Zheng Pu's previous advance strategy, as long as Jiangdong repeatedly attacked the Jingxiang front and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, rebelling against Wei would inevitably make the Huaiyou front loose.Because of Jiangdong's national strength, so many soldiers were killed, it would have been six or seven years of work that could not have alleviated the devastation of the war, and would never invade Huaiyou again.

However, after Sun Quan asked the question, he looked distressed and said regretfully, "Although I don't want to refute Bo Yan's words, if I go against Wei and build Wuhuan Tuqi, even if Hefei Shouchun's defense is lax, Jiangdong will have a surprise attack." I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the reinforcements! Boyan also knows that our Jiangdong cavalry has only been established for a few years, and the combat strength in front of the battle is not as good as that of Ni Wei!"

Ships from the south and horses from the north.

The south of the great river is densely covered with water, so that when Jiangdong was able to dominate the navy, there were also many soldiers who were skilled in bows and horses. If you want to build a cavalry, the soldiers have to start training from the most basic riding.

However, the combat power of the cavalry who has been trained for many years can be imagined.

Not to mention fighting against the Wuhuan Tuqi, which has the reputation of "the world's famous cavalry", any cavalry of the Wei State or the Han Dynasty can wipe out the newly built cavalry in Jiangdong.

"Your Majesty's words, I forgive you, cannot agree."

But Lu Xun immediately retorted, saying with certainty, "I dare to assert that after this battle, he will definitely transfer Wuhuan Tuqi to Hexi after this battle!"

Ok?
It was said that Sun Quan's eyes lit up with joy again.

He is not ignorant, so after being awakened by Lu Xun, he understood the reason.

Since the Han soldiers came out of Longyou and the battle of Shiting, Ni Wei has placed the focus of conquest on the northwest, and adopted a defense-oriented strategy for Jiangdong.Not only is it difficult to fight on two fronts, but also because the Han and Wei dynasties are life and death enemies competing for the destiny.

This time, countless soldiers were lost in Jiangdong, in the eyes of Wei Guo Cao Rui, it was not enough to become a serious problem, and Ru Wuhuan Tuqi would be dispatched to the northwest to fight against the great Han.

After all, the cavalry can play a greater role in the north.

And once Wuhuan suddenly turned to the northwest, then Jiangdong's chances of success in the dark attack would no longer be hindered.

Sun Quan, who had been thinking about it for a while, immediately got up suddenly, raised his lamp and said indignantly, "If it is as Bo Yan said, I will raise enough food, fodder and supplies for the soldiers even if I eat vegetarian food and stop drinking. It is the humiliation of Zhuqing Yixue's defeat!"

It also inspired everyone to stand up and agree, "I dare you to die!"

Because listening to string songs knows the meaning of elegance.

The implicit promise in Sun Quan's words will compensate their losses with national power.

However, the difference is that some people benefit more while others do not.

And is Wei Guoguo as Lu Xun asserted?
Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei, rewarded the soldiers according to the example of his meritorious deeds, and then supervised the army and returned to Luoyang.

When passing through Runan County, under the guard of Habayashi Guard, he made a special detour to Ancheng to meet Man Chong overnight. No one knew the content of the discussion, but people vaguely guessed it through subsequent dispatches.

Ru Manchong was transferred to Taiwei, and he still stationed troops in Ancheng, Runan.

The Wuhuan Tuqi led by Qianhong and Xiahouxian stayed in Yuzhou for half a month to recuperate, and then rushed to Guanzhong to temporarily return to Sima Yi's control: it was to make up for the lack of superiority of Wei State cavalry in Shuyin City.

In addition, Yangzhou Inspector Wang Ling was transferred to Zhendong General, and Shangshu Sun Li was transferred to Yangzhou Inspector.

In other words, Wei Guo felt that Jiangdong would no longer be troubled in a short period of time after this defeat, and planned to fight the northwest with all its strength.
