Shu Chen

Chapter 564

In early winter and October, it should be yellow and cool.

The battle between Han and Wu in Jiaozhi County came to an end as time went by.

But he said that in the past, Ma Zhong besieged Lu Dai's troops in Moling County, with the intention of encircling the points to fight for reinforcements and to contain Jiangdong's troops for the war on the northern front, not because he could not break through the city.

However, news came from Huo Yi's Department who was staying in the water village at the port, claiming that the Wu army had only sent warships in twos and threes to inquire about the news, and had no intention of sending troops to fight.

Since what you think in your heart can't work, let's end the war as soon as possible, and let Jing'an and the soldiers who have been tired for a long time rest.

Yes, there is no suspense in overcoming difficulties.

During the nearly two months of besieging the city, thanks to the local tyrants persuading them to surrender and the captive soldiers calling, soldiers from Jiaozhou came out of the city one after another over the wall.

Lu Dai could not put an end to this matter.

Because the soldiers all looked forward to Wu Guo and despaired of the war because the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time.

What makes the city even more turbulent is that the food fodder is about to run out.

Moling is just a county in Jiaozhi, not a county government that hoards food and fodder. It has suddenly welcomed more than [-] soldiers and stationed there for four months.

Lu Dai did not let the soldiers search for the rations of Li Shu in the city.

Because he felt that it was useless.

The turning point of the war lies in whether Jiangdong will send troops to rescue.

But now that it's winter, if Jiangdong sent troops to come, he would have arrived long ago.

In this way, searching for Li Shu's rations to supply the soldiers is just a matter of persisting for more than a month, without changing the ending of the city's fall and the entire army's destruction.

Moreover, searching Li Shu's rations will inevitably arouse public anger.

Maybe there will be troubles in the city where Li and Shu gather together and turn back, and the Han army outside the city will attack at the right time, causing the city to fall earlier.

Therefore, three days after the Han army sent people to surrender without success and began to attack the fortifications, Lu Dai, who was completely exhausted, gathered his soldiers and said, "I have received Wu's kindness, and I have to repay him with death, and the kings will decide on their own." After all, he dismissed the guards, and stayed alone in the office to lay down his sword and conquer his loyalty.

His death made Moling County no longer have the heart to resist.

After the Han army entered the city, Ma Zhong heard about it and admired him very much.

The ethos of the Han Dynasty is especially respect for the elderly.

At Lu Dai's age, there are not many people who still insist on being in the army, and he still abides by the sincerity of his courtiers.

Although each is their own master, let him shroud himself in horse leather as much as he can.

Ma Zhong asked Huo Yi to dispatch two or three ships, and asked some soldiers to contain Lu Dai's body and send it to Nanhai County.

After Wu Dang in Longbian County learned about it, he felt a little bit critical.

Yuan Long, who raised an army with him back then, was attacked and killed by Lu Dai's troops.

However, he did not expressly refute or anything.

Because he also knew that Ma Zhong's move was not limited to the consideration of respecting the elderly.

Jiangdong occupied Jiaozhou for more than [-] years, and almost all the rebellions were brought down by Lu Dai's army.Now that he is dead in battle, and his body belongs to Nanhai County, it will definitely make some dormant people have different thoughts.

In this way, it will be beneficial for the Han Dynasty to incorporate the entire Jiaozhou into its territory in the future.

Hey~
The right should be that people die and things disappear.

After the war ended, Wu Dang comforted himself so much, but Sun Quan, who was far away in Wuchang, could not comfort himself.

In fact, Jiangdong had time to send a navy to rescue Jiaozhi.

The Jiangdong navy, known for its elite, has rich experience in navigation. The time from Liu Zuan's report to Lu Dai's attack and the fall of Moling County was enough for the navy to rush to Jiaozhi County.

But at that time, everyone in Jiangdong thought it was impossible to save.

First, the gain outweighs the loss.

The Han army tried to encircle and fight for help, and Jiangdong's important officials knew it well, and sending troops to rescue was just in the hands of the Han army.

Besides, the navy can arrive as scheduled, but it doesn't mean that Lu Dai can be brought out.

Indeed, Jiangdong's navy is elite, and both Wei and Han are invincible above the river and sea.

However, can they compete with the Han army on the shore?

Maybe sending troops to rescue him, not only can't save Lu Dai, but even himself will never return!

The other is the lack of troops in Jiangdong.

The Shouchun fiasco and the influence of the Liao-style rebellion made Jiangdong's military strength superior to that of Bashu in the past.

In this battle, the Han army has used more than [-] troops!
Apart from deducting the necessary deployment for guarding various places in Jiangdong, the force squeezed out is only roughly equivalent to that of the Han army.

In this way, the navy must stay in the Dajiang River Basin to serve as the connection and support for the various garrison points in Xiling Gorge, Jiangling City, Wuchang, and Xiangyang, and to quickly dispatch troops and transfer supplies between each other.

Therefore, all the important officials in Jiangdong secretly advised Sun Quan that at this time, it should be the lesser of two evils.

It's all about the big picture.

After all, the main force of the Han army came out of Jingzhou.

The safety of Jingxiang is more important than the loss of the three counties in the west of Jiaozhou and the destruction of the Lu Dai tribe.

Sun Quan could not refute.

From his point of view, the defeat of Shouchun has already caused heavy losses to the wealthy family in Wudi. If the interests of Jingzhou cannot be kept
Fearful Sun's foundation will face an unbearable burden!
And after he learned the news of Lu Dai Fujian Kezhong, he couldn't comfort himself. Not only was he mourning the loss of a general who was a heart and soul and a minion, but also because Zhuge Ke had written a letter asking to go to Jiaozhi for rescue.

Zhuge Ke, who had won for a while in the Shouchun Battle, was increasingly valued by Sun Quan.

Even if the crown prince Sun Deng died of illness, he will be trained as an important minister who will help the Sun family's foundation in the future.

However, because Zhuge Jin died of illness last year, Sun Quan did not transfer him to Jingnan to participate in the war, but ordered him to continue to garrison in Jianye, so that Quan Cong could separate himself and lead troops to Jingnan to fight.

This is also the case, after Zhuge Ke learned of the Jiaozhou war, he wrote a letter to Sun Quan, claiming that he could supervise and lead more than ten thousand Shanyue elites under his command to sail from Jianye to Jiaozhi.

It's just that Sun Quan didn't need to discuss with others, so he directly rejected him.

There is no way, Zhuge Ke's department cannot be transferred from Jianye!

It's not that he is worried that after he is transferred, Wei Guo may send troops from the Huainan front to attack, but he is worried that new rebellions will break out in the counties and counties of Wuyue.
Of course!

There are not many troops available in Jiangdong now, but the frequent rebellions in counties and counties induced by the defeat in foreign wars forced Sun Quan to use a lot of troops on defense and maintaining internal security.

Under such circumstances, Lu Dai's death was inevitable.

But Sun Quan was indignant, so he personally wrote a book and passed it on to Nanyang, so that Wei Jun sent it to Luoyang and Cao Rui.

The letter is only a few words.

Said:
"Today there are more than [-] soldiers from Bashu, which is already half of the whole country! In the war between our country and him, the three counties of Jiaozhou have fallen, the state shepherd Lu Dinggong died in battle, and countless soldiers were lost! If Shangyong's [-] soldiers can be saved, your country will be self-sufficient. Fight Xiangyang with Bashu!"
