The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 650 Yujin Laodao ([-])

Sun Jiao's commander-in-chief was established in Haihun County.

The history of this sea dun is quite mysterious.Tai Shici once defeated Shanyue's tribe here.Moreover, this Haihun City mysteriously disappeared without a trace later, and there has been no trace of it. There are folk rumors that it sank to the bottom of Poyang Lake.I don't know if it's true.

In fact, this sea is still relatively far away from Poyang Lake. If it wants to sink to the bottom of the lake, it may not be so easy.

However, the latitude of Haihun is almost the same as that of Ai County to the east, and Ai County is slightly southeast of Xiajun.However, there is a high mountain between Ai County and Xiajun, so it is not so easy for the Jiangdong army to attack Xiajun from there.

However, Sun Jiao was indeed in Ai County and had prepared a large army of at least 8000 people.At that time, once the Shu Han army really dared to enter Jiangxia County to fight, he would not mind strictly ordering the army to forcibly cross the mountains and cut off the Shu Han army's retreat in one fell swoop.

Then, Sun Jiao also arranged large troops for repairs in Liling County and Xiacheng to the north of Haihun at the same time.Especially the army in the Xiacheng area is completely located at the junction of Jiangxia County and Yangzhou, and it is the place where Sun Jiao's army must pass through when they enter Jiangxia County.Therefore, Sun Jiao's order to Sun Huan, who served as the general there, was to make his army ready to attack at any time.

Sun Huan's rival, Zhu Huan, led his troops into Liling County.It seems that Sun Jiao is wiser and separates Shuanghuan.Moreover, the Liling County where Zhu Huan lived was not far from Haihun where he was. This Zhu Huan had always acted perversely and disobeyed orders, so he could stop it in time.

Moreover, with Lu Xun's dismissal, Yichun has also received special attention.Sun Jiao recruited the Jiaozhou righteous men from Buzhi back to Yichun for garrison.In this case, the security of the southern area of ​​his army will be correspondingly protected, and the intention of Shu Han's army to attack from Liuyang City and enter Yangzhou can be further prevented.

Then, Sun Jiao transferred Gu Shaozheng, who served as Lu Xun's army supervisor, to Haihun's commander-in-chief, and continued to serve as Sun Jiao's army.When Gu Shao was in Moling, one of them joined the army in Sun Jiao's right governor's office.He and Sun Jiao have always cooperated happily.

Now that Lu Xun has been dismissed and escorted back to Moling for interrogation, Gu Shao's supervising army is of course useless.Therefore, Sun Jiao can naturally re-appoint him to another position.

However, Sun Jiao still felt that the south was not safe enough.Therefore, he ordered Lu Dai, who was far away in Liling, to lead the death-defying army out of the city and build fortifications on the main roads in Liling's mountains to prevent the Shu Han army from capturing Liling and entering Luling County in Yangzhou.

What caught people off guard was that Liu Chan decisively dispatched Deng Ai's army and defeated the death-defying army with lightning speed.Moreover, Liling City was successfully captured.This was originally a result that Sun Jiao was extremely unwilling to see, but under his arrangement, the enemy got the upper hand.

It should be said that Sun Jiao's decision to let Lu Dai go out to build fortifications was not necessarily wrong.It's just that he didn't expect that Deng Ai's army would appear so quickly.

Moreover, Lu Dai's army was not large enough.After they left the city, they lost the protection of Liling City. Facing the superior strength of Deng Ai's army, they were of course easily defeated.

Therefore, news of Lu Dai's defeat at the hands of Deng Ai and the rapid fall of Liling City was sent to Gu Shao as quickly as possible.

This matter is actually quite important, after all, a portal in Yangzhou has fallen like this.Gu Shao didn't dare to delay, and immediately took the documents to see Sun Jiao in the study.

Sun Jiao has been in poor health in recent years.Although his figure is relatively tall, but when he is sitting upright, his back looks a bit hunched.His complexion has always been a little sallow, showing a very unhealthy color.

Leading the army to go out now makes his body feel very unbearable.Therefore, in fact, Sun Jiao usually handed over many current affairs to Gu Shao, unless it was about the strategy of marching and fighting.

After Gu Shao entered the study, he immediately went forward to greet Sun Jiao.

After Sun Jiao coughed, a flush suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Is there anything you want to report to me?"

Gu Shao looked at Sun Jiao worriedly.The commander-in-chief of the three armies in Jiangdong is really not such an easy job!It seems that no one who takes up this official position will live longer.Even if that Lu Xun looks healthy now, he might be beheaded by the lord in a few days.

But now this Sun Jiao's physical condition is getting worse.

Gu Shao secretly sighed in his heart, then went forward to pick up the tea on the table and handed it to Sun Jiao, so that he could moisten his throat.

Then, Gu Shaocai reported Lu Dai's defeat and loss of Liling to Sun Jiao.

Hearing this, Sun Jiao suddenly coughed violently again, probably because he became too excited because of the news.

Gu Shao hurried up and patted Sun Jiao's back lightly.After a long time, Sun Jiao's cough finally stopped, and Gu Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.It can be seen that joining the army is actually not that easy for him. Not only does he have to be a military counselor for Sun Jiao, but he also has to worry about Sun Jiao's physical condition.

Only then did Gu Shao ask: "Governor, do you want to take a rest first, and then I will call the doctor to come in and have a look?"

Sun Jiao waved his hands and said in a weak voice, "No need, I know my body myself."

Gu Shao nodded and asked: "Since General Lu Dai has lost Liling, should he be ordered to join forces with Mr. Buzhi and the Jiaozhou righteous men who are currently stationed in Yichun to retake Liling from Deng Ai's hands?"

Sun Jiao sighed, and said: "No need. Don't move the troops in Yichun rashly for now. In fact, if Deng Ai wants to send troops to Yangzhou, the two places he must go through are Yichun and Luling County. Therefore, this The two places also constitute a strategic horn, and once Deng Ai's army attacks one of the places, it will immediately get the response from the other. Therefore, Deng Ai will not attack Yangzhou without authorization in the future."

Sun Jiao was really good at fighting, and he guessed the movement of Deng Ai's army right away.

Gu Shao nodded and asked, "So that means, just give General Lu Dai an order to regroup the troops in Luling County and do a good job in the defense of the territory, right?"

Sun Jiao nodded, but did not speak, as if to save a little energy.

Then, Gu Shao reported to Sun Jiao that the troops of Zhou Dory and He Qi in Poyang, east of Haihun, were fighting against the Shanyue tribe.

Sun Jiao didn't give too many instructions on this, apparently he was very confident in the Jiangdong Army's handling of the Shanyue Army.He just told Gu Shao that once the battle in Jiangxia County started, He Qi's troops could be recruited to join the battle.As for the battle in Shanyue, it is enough to leave it to Zhou Bing to complete it.

After Gu Shao took the order, he went to help Sun Jiao up, and helped him lie down on the bed to rest.

Gu Shao then bid farewell to Sun Jiao.

Looking at Gu Shao's leaving back, Sun Jiao's eyes suddenly filled with sadness, and he muttered: "My body, I don't know if it can last until the end of this war."
