Chapter 219 The big drama in the hall, the prince's foundation must gamble with his life!

The morning sun shines down through the sparse clouds, reflecting on the ruined walls of Hefei City, as if wearing a warm and radiant garment.

Tufuzi and a group of craftsmen and strong men shuttled among the ruins, filled the gaps in the city wall with wood and stones, and repaired the defense of the city brick by brick.

The craftsmen rolled up their sleeves, held tools, and worked together to carry out the construction in an orderly manner.

Someone is repairing the walls, someone is repairing the gates, and someone is building defensive towers.

With the unremitting efforts of the craftsmen, the north side of Hefei City gradually recovered some defensive strength.

The newly built houses stood proudly, and sections of the city walls soared into the sky. Hefei, an impregnable fortress, once again stood in front of Sun Quan.

only.
Before he was looking at Hefei from the city, seeing Hefei's strong city, he had no choice but to take it, but now it's different.

When he was in the city, he wished that the city wall was so strong that it could stop millions of troops.

"Wei army in the north, is there any movement?"

Sun Quan's face is solemn and confident, his eyes are piercing, revealing wisdom and decisiveness.

His movements are confident and deliberate, his steps are steady, his manner is dignified, and every step is sonorous and powerful.Gestures are natural and decent, sometimes waving his hands, sometimes clenching his fists to express his determination, showing his leadership style.

Three days ago, he made a major decision to send Lu Xun to attack Wei Ying.

结果
A big win!

That's Wei Jun!
Many of my Jiangdong courtiers are as fearful as tigers, what about now?
Wasn't he defeated by my Sun Quan, obediently waiting in the north of Feishui, not daring to come to attack the city.

The grievances and anger accumulated over the past few days, once vented out, don't mention how relieved Sun Quan is now.

"Zhang Liao and Cao Hong haven't moved, but according to the scout report, Wei Wang Cao Pi is coming soon, and I'm only a few days away."

Cao Pi?

"How many troops does he have?"

"I heard that there are 20 troops!"

20?
Sun Quan estimated in his heart that even if the 20 soldiers were counted as civilian auxiliary soldiers, the number of soldiers would be [-] to [-].

This is still the least.

This is a great enemy!

After defending this wave of offensive, Hefei is really in his hands.

"Hefei is an important place. Now that you have it, there is no reason to throw it away. I wonder what you can do?"

Sun Quan looked around at the generals, his main eyes were fixed on Lu Meng and Lu Xun.

"My lord, the state of Wei is powerful. We should repair the city, build a line of defense, and focus on defense. We must not go out of the city to fight with the Wei army. After all, we are not strong enough."

The shortage of troops is naturally a problem, but the most important thing is that a field battle is not a surprise attack, it is head-to-head.

The strength of the Jiangdong infantry is still not as good as those tall and powerful Central Plains men.

Take advantage of strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Now that Hefei has been taken down and the time to build the city's defenses has been won, it is natural to defend the city well.

"What do Bo Yan think?"

Lu Xun's eyes flickered, and he said: "The chief governor's words are certainly reasonable, but if you stick to it, it may be difficult to defend Hefei. Even if you have time to repair the city, can the repaired city really stop the Wei army from attacking the city?"

"What does Boyan mean?"

Shou Shou Shou Shou Shou!
He, Sun Quan, has had enough of being a wimp.

I, Jiang Dongjian, am not inferior to others, am I born to hide in the city and be a turtle?
"My lord, I still say the same thing, keep Wei Jun out of Hefei!"

According to the enemy outside.

good idea, but
How to achieve this strategic goal?

Sun Quan's suspicious look was naturally noticed by Lu Xun.

"The diverter enters Feishui, unite with the infantry, and attack Chengde together. If Chengde is captured, Hefei will be in the hands of the lord!"

After Zhang Liao and Cao Hong were burned in Weizhai, they had already retreated into Chengde City.

There are nearly [-] soldiers. Although Chengde City is not a strong city, it is not easy to capture it!

Even if you use the navy, there is only a possibility of attacking the city.

Sun Quan's eyes flickered, while Gu Yong got up immediately and said, "Bo Yan's plan is very dangerous. There are tens of thousands of Wei troops in Chengde City. How can we take it down before Cao Pi's army arrives? It's too risky." , My lord, in my opinion, I should follow the strategy of the governor!"

After Gu Yong got up to express his opinion, several people came forward later, expressing the same meaning as Gu Yong.

Sun Quan was sitting in the main seat, and seeing the expressions of the crowd, most of them, probably like the general governor, chose a safe way.

He remained calm, but said: "With the power of Jiangdong alone, I really can't compete with Wei Guo. However, what if Liu Gongsi of Jingzhou assists?"

Liu Gongsi?
Everyone was stunned.

While everyone was thinking, Sun Quan clapped his hands and gave the attendant a look. The latter immediately understood, and shouted loudly: "Call Zhongsi Ma Zhugejin into the hall!"

Zhuge Jin?
Gu Yong gasped.

This person came back from a mission, but I didn't know?

Cold sweat broke out unconsciously on his forehead.

Lu Meng frowned slightly, but he didn't speak.

Lu Xun is an old god, and he has known this news for a long time.

After a while, Zhuge Jin, dressed in a counselor's robe, walked in slowly from outside the hall.

"My minister, Zhuge Jin, pay my respects to the lord!"

"Get up."

Sun Quan waved his hand, helped Zhuge Jinxu up, and then asked, "Did Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, agree to send troops this time?"

The two had already exchanged good words last night, Zhuge Jin got up immediately, raised her head and held her chest high and said: "My lord, Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, admires the majesty of the lord, and hates his majesty for being humiliated by the Cao thief. Allied to defeat the king of Wei, I yearn for it for a while, I wish I could kneel down on the ground, even if I agree to send troops."

This rainbow fart made Sun Quan smile.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Sun Quan first laughed twice, and said: "Then Liu Gongsi is my son-in-law after all, it's too polite, but he is willing to send troops, how many soldiers can he send?"

Zhuge Jin said on the side: "All Jingzhou soldiers are sent out to guard Jiangxia in Jinzhou. They can send troops to Lujiang County at any time, and Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, has already arrived in Xiyang City. He can send troops to Runan at any time. Guan Yunchang, Marquis of Hanshouting, early Chen Bing Ye County, as long as he wants to, he can enter Yingchuan and cross the hinterland of Wei State!"

After listening to Zhuge Jin's words, everyone was afraid to speak for a while.

It's not that I dare not speak, but that I don't know what to say for a while.

this
Why does it sound a bit fake?
"The Prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gongsi, will really keep the promise? Didn't he lie to Jiangdong?"

Gu Yong's old face showed disbelief.

Without blushing, Zhuge Jin said calmly, "It's the truth."

"It's just that Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, is very cunning. Why did he help me in Jiangdong?"

Can't figure it out, Gu Yong can't figure it out!

"Because of the righteousness of the lord, and the concerted efforts of Miss Xiaohu, Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Bu, Liu Gongsi was persuaded."

Three people working together?

Why does this sound weird?

Sensing the strange eyes of the officials in the hall, Sun Quan suddenly felt that the color of the martial crown on his head had changed.

"Humph!"

He immediately snorted coldly and said, "I believe that Ziyu is a man, he will not shoot the target for no reason."

Zhuge Jin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.

What I said just now is half true and false, Liu Gongsi's alliance with Jiangdong is true, but...
Send troops, but it is false.

That Liu Gongsi was as cunning as a fox.

He won't do things that are at a disadvantage, and he doesn't have the ability to make this kid suffer.

"With the help of my good son-in-law Liu Chan, will you be afraid of his Wei army?"

"This"

Gu Yong's eyes rolled slightly, but he still said: "The distant water can't cure the near thirst, so please think twice, my lord."

These officials of my own are really too cautious.

"Clap clap~"

He stretched out his hand, slapped it twice, and the attendant beside him quickly shouted: "Call Zang Ba's envoy into the hall!"

Zang Ba's messenger?
Gu Yong was shocked again.

He didn't know that Zhuge Jin was back, why did Zang Ba's envoy come, he still didn't know?
Have all the reports of me being by the lord's side disappeared?
Not long.

Dressed in the envoy's robe, the envoy Zang Ba walked slowly into the hall.

"Foreign envoys pay homage to Marquis Wu!"

"Don't be too polite."

Sun Quan cut straight to the point and asked, "What are you talking about here?"

Zang Ba's envoy had just been listening outside the hall for half an hour, so he didn't know Sun Quan's intention to see him again this time.

In order to persuade the subjects, let Jiangdong send troops!

This coincides with the purpose of his mission this time, so Zang Ba's envoy also tried his best to cooperate with Sun Quan.

"My lord Zang Ba raised an army of 20, and Chen Bing stopped the Han thief Cao Pi's 20 army outside Shouchun City. Not only that, my lord also invited the prince of Hanzhong to attack Wei on three sides. Let alone Cao Pi bring an army of [-], even if he brings an army of one million, why should we be afraid?"

"what?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Then Zang Ba can really gather an army of one hundred thousand?"

As soon as the envoy Zang Ba said this, there was a lot of discussion among Jiangdong officials in the hall.

The Zang Ba envoy smiled lightly and said: "If you don't believe me, you can send envoys to investigate the information. If the information you get is different from what I said, you can take my head!"

The fact that this person dares to say such big words shows that this matter is true.

Even Gu Yong, who is the most stable, was a little shaken when he heard that Jiang Dong was allied with Liu Chan and Zang Ba at the same time.

If this is the case, then there is a real opportunity to send troops to become a virtue at this moment.

"My lord agreed that if this battle can be won, Jiujiang County will be sent to Jiangdong."

Jiujiang County?
"what?"

Gu Yong exclaimed and asked, "Really?"

Envoy Zang Ba nodded heavily and said, "This matter cannot be more true!"

Jiujiang County not only has Hefei, but also Shouchun!
If you guard the river, you must guard the Huai River.

Keeping Shouchun, Jiangdong can not only keep his current foundation, but also push his rule to the Huaihe River area, if he really achieves this goal.

The scope of this rule directly expanded hundreds of miles!

Even Gu Yong was moved, let alone those officials in the hall.

Especially the generals, who immediately screamed and called for a fight!
This is a real benefit, taking advantage of the benefits, and having credit, isn't the newly acquired land distributed to them?
There is hope for a battle, and they will naturally fight it with all their strength.

This is about their own vital interests.

"So, you still want to prevent me from sending troops?"

Gu Yong's eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "My lord is so well prepared, this matter must be a sure thing. If that's the case, then why should we hold back?"

"Send troops, send troops!"

I don't know who made a noise from below, and then, in the whole hall, there were only two words left:

"send troops!"

"send troops!"

"send troops!"

Seeing Tang Wenchen's military general ready to fight, Sun Quan also had a smug smile on his face.

That's right!

Listen to my Sun Zhongmou, you are right!

But in the hall, Lu Meng looked at the complacent lord Sun Quan, then at the obedient Gu Yong, and at the calm Lu Xun, his brows frowned even deeper.

Although Gu Yong has been fighting against the lord in the hall, maybe it is Gu Yong and the lord playing the double reed?
Whether it's Zhuge Ziyu or Zang Ba's envoy.
Today, the lord hall summoned everyone, not as if they were here to discuss matters, but as if they were here to put on a show.

And
This scene was really beautifully played.

Lu Meng felt a little worried: I hope the development of the situation is really as the lord thinks.

It's just that this thought didn't last long, and Lu Meng laughed at himself.

What was he thinking about these questions?

Although he is the governor of Eastern Wu, it seems that he has not been in this position for long.

Don't trust the lord, this position will belong to someone else sooner or later.

Hey ~
Lu Meng sighed.

He wanted to avenge Jiangling that day, but
In this life, is there really a chance?
Three days later.

On the east bank of Feishui.

A few days ago, the Xuzhou soldiers led by Zang Ba set up a camp, which was magnificent and covered a vast area.

Flags fluttered in the camp, and Zang characters were embroidered on the military flags, shining coldly.

The gate of the village is majestic and tall, reinforced with solid wood, like a huge copper wall and iron wall, which makes people daunting.

There are many archery towers in the village, and each archery tower has soldiers living in it, holding longbows, and the arrow towers are full of arrows, ready to shoot at the enemy at any time.The guardrails on the city wall stretched over and over, protecting the entire wall, enough to withstand any attack.

Along the inside and outside of the wall of the village, there are densely packed traps, including deep pits, spikes, trip wires, and bow and arrow traps hidden in the tall grass. Any enemy who tries to approach will fall into them and lose their combat effectiveness.

Arrow towers and beacon towers were set up around the camp, standing high on the wall of the camp, overlooking the surroundings. Once the enemy was found to attack, an alarm would be issued immediately.

The atmosphere in the entire camp was tense and solemn. Soldiers dressed in armor and armed with weapons stood guard on the city wall, ready for battle.

Obviously, Zang Ba intends to stay here for a long time.

However, he wanted to stay, but some people didn't want him to be an eyesore here.

Cao Xiu led the tiger and leopard cavalry, came to Zang Ba's camp aggressively, shouted loudly, and provoked Xuzhou soldiers to fight.

"Rebel, dare to come out of the city and fight to the death with your grandfather Cao Xiu?"

"A guy without eggs, still called a hero? I think it's about the same as a bear!"

"Could it be that men in Xuzhou don't have blood? They just act like turtles?"

"Xuzhou rats?"

Cao Xiu's voice was almost hoarse.

However, the Xuzhou soldiers closed the gate of the village tightly and remained unmoved. They just guarded the village quietly without any intention of attacking.

Seeing that Xuzhou soldiers were not coming out, Cao Xiu had no choice but to personally lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack the camp.

He charged bravely and rushed into the trap area of ​​the camp first, but he did not expect that Zang Ba's archers were already ready in ambush in the fortress of the trap area.

With an order, the archers of the Xuzhou soldiers fired all their arrows, and the dense arrows flew like black clouds, covering the entire charge area.The tiger and leopard cavalry were submerged by the rain of arrows, unable to advance or retreat for a while, and fell into a panic.

Cao Xiu found that the situation was not good, so he had to order a retreat, and led the remaining tiger and leopard riders to rush out of the camp.

The rain of arrows continued, and the tigers and leopards fled in the rain of arrows, in a panic.

Zang Ba on the camp spat hard.

"Tiger and leopard rider? I won't go out to fight in the field. Let me see what you can do with me?"

He dared to stay here because he had opened up the front line of Xiquyang, Yinling, and Huailing, and the transportation of food, grass and materials was smooth. Otherwise, how dare he stay in the encirclement if the back road was cut off?
of course
Staying here is definitely risky.

Cao Pi's tens of thousands of troops are right by his side, and the green land behind him may also be unstable.

The Alliance's Prince Liu Gongsi of Hanzhong and Sun Zhongmou of Jiangdong may not be reliable.

but.
If you want to be extraordinary, you have to risk your life and family.

King.
Not so easy to be!
He, Zang Ba, can only gamble his life now!
