The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 850 The Final Battle (Seventeen)

After Sun Quan's negotiations with Zhuge Jin failed, of course he had no choice but to continue to stick to the current strategy, hoping to finally completely defeat the Shu Han army.At least, although their rear is not strong enough and the range is not very large, as long as the Jiangdong people are relieved, they can launch a full-scale counterattack against the Shu Han army again.

What's more, Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin knew each other well after discussing.The Shu Han army is now marching thousands of miles, all the way to the hinterland of Jiangdong, if it is not successful, it will be benevolent.Each of their soldiers should be under a lot of pressure in their hearts.

Moreover, in a place so far away from Yizhou, such a large-scale rise of swordsmen will inevitably cause a great burden to all aspects of Yizhou.He also doesn't believe that Yizhou's financial resources can maintain this situation for too long.

Therefore, even though the two of them didn't draw up any new battle plan, they seemed to calm down because of this.

But is this really the case?
After seeing off Zhuge Jin, Sun Quan turned around and returned to his tent, his originally calm face suddenly became frown.Then he reached out and took down the letter from Gu Yong and the others on the table again, opened it and read it, but shook his head again and sighed.

Fortunately, there was no one in the tent at this time, otherwise Sun Quan would have been surprised by such a quick change of expression.

But on the other hand, it can also be seen from this that Sun Quan's heart is not as calm as when he was discussing with Zhuge Jin just now.In other words, his so-called calmness is actually all superficial.

But the question is, why did Sun Quan pretend to be so calm?The answer is actually not complicated. This is just the most basic trick that politicians have always used, using the disguised calmness to calm people's hearts.In fact, they were often the ones who were most uneasy at the time.

And what Sun Quan wanted to appease at that time was of course Zhuge Jin's heart.Zhuge Jin and his son can now command the two most important troops around him. Their troops guard the safety of both sides of Sun Quan's central army. How did it go down?

So for Sun Quan, even if he was not calm at the time, he must pretend to be calm.And Zhuge Jin was indeed infected by Sun Quan at that time. After learning that the two retreat paths of Liyang and Wuhu had been almost cut off, he was surprised for a while, but he calmed down quickly after all, and continued to continue with Sun Quan. Discuss military affairs.

It should be said that Sun Quan is indeed an outstanding ruler in many respects, at least he is indeed a well-mannered man.If he hadn't met Liu Chan and the group of people under Liu Chan's command, he would have continued to pursue his Jiangdong dream smoothly in the future, and became the first and only person in the history of the Celestial Dynasty to be posthumously named the Great Emperor.

After Sun Quan thought alone for a while, he immediately called in Ling Tong who had been waiting outside the tent.No matter when and where, Ling Tongna is definitely his confidant and the most trustworthy person.

Ling Tong quickly entered the camp to salute Sun Quan, and asked, "What will my lord tell you after the meeting?"

Sun Quan beckoned Ling Tong to come forward, then stood up, leaned over and whispered something to Ling Tong.

After Ling Tong finished listening, his face immediately changed, and he became very pale, and his eyes became very surprised.

There was no other reason, because Sun Quan actually ordered him in a low voice to make basic preparations for a secret retreat from here immediately!
Of course, this retreat is definitely not going to be implemented now. It is impossible for Sun Quan to give up the immediate battle now. It is very likely that he is preparing in advance to save his life for future defeats.

In fact, Ling Tong, as the general who commanded Sun Quan's guard army, had been standing outside the camp from the beginning to the end. They could clearly hear every word Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin discussed just now.At that time, Sun Quan's indifferent demeanor made Ling Tong admire in his heart.

But why did the lord change when Mr. Zhuge Jin left?

Such a thing, of course, puzzled Ling Tong, even though he had been with Sun Quan for so many years, it was still the same.

Seeing Ling Tong's dumb look, Sun Quan coughed lightly and asked, "Gongji, did you hear what I said?"

Only then did Ling Tong come to his senses, and asked, "My lord, didn't you speak well to Mr. Zhuge Jin just now, why now..."

Sun Quan's eyes with a tinge of emerald green, followed by two sharp lights flashed. Ling Tong saw the question he wanted to say in his heart, and immediately stopped daring to say it.

However, Sun Quan definitely understood what Ling Tong wanted to express. He waved his hand and said very seriously: "This matter is very important, so don't ask so many questions. Remember, it must be kept secret. Don't let any outsiders know the situation, or I'll only ask you!"

Ling Tong nodded. How could he not know that such a major event must be done in secret?Once the news is leaked, it will definitely deal a fatal blow to the affairs of the whole army.

At that time, even if the Jiangdong Army did not want to lose the battle, it would become impossible.

Of course Ling Tong immediately accepted Sun Quan's order, turned around and left Sun Quan's tent.Of course, as a well-trained general, Ling Tong would definitely not rush out. His walking speed is actually slower than when he entered the tent.

But, of course, Ling Tong couldn't calm down, the palms of his hands were already dripping with cold sweat.He suddenly became confused about the final trend of the next war.

Originally, when the troops were at a disadvantage, he was still very confident in the victory of the Jiangdong Army, but after Sun Quan issued this secret order to him, his confidence was seriously shaken!

As Sun Quan's most trusted confidant and beloved general, Ling Tong is like this. If the news is leaked out, it is conceivable what kind of impact it will have on other people, and even ordinary soldiers. up.

On the other hand, Zhuge Jin returned to the position of the army he commanded.In fact, the distance between here and Sun Quan's side is only about ten miles away, so it doesn't take much time.

Sun Quan's calmness really comforted Zhuge Jin at that time, so he didn't feel overly worried because the retreat route would be cut off by the enemy.
