Chapter 599 Raid on Yangzhou
Sun Jian didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"Caozhou Mu, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation when I get back."
After watching Cao Cao leave, Sun Jian glared at Sun Shangxiang and shouted angrily to the person behind him: "Let's go!"
Sun Shangxiang did not leave immediately, but looked at Gu Rubing's back. Her eyes were full of nostalgia. Although she was nominally imprisoned by Gu Rubing, she felt something different from Gu Rubing. Freedom, no one would care about what she did, and no one would care about her. Even if she got into trouble, Gu Rubing didn't blame her.
Sun Jian walked a distance and found that Sun Shangxiang was still where he was, not moving.
"Let's go, what else are you looking at?"
Hearing Sun Jian's angry words, Sun Shangxiang hesitated and followed Sun Jian.
After returning to the camp, Sun Jian pulled Sun Shangxiang into the coach's tent and ordered that no one should enter the coach's tent.
Huang Gai and the others could only smile bitterly and guard outside the camp.
Now everyone understands that the alliance with Cao Cao will soon be broken.
Sun Jian sat in the coach's seat, looking at Sun Shangxiang without saying a word.
Sometimes, being stared at without saying a word is the scariest thing.
In the end, Sun Shangxiang could not withstand the pressure and had no choice but to speak first.
"Father, I was wrong!"
"Do you still know that you are wrong? How could you do that kind of thing with Liu Bei, but you have to do that with Cao Zhang..."
"That kind of thing?"
Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Jian with a blank expression.
"It's the kind of thing between men and women... Do I need to explain it clearly?"
"Um?"
Sun Shangxiang finally understood and looked at Sun Jian with some shame and anger.
"Father, is that the kind of person Shang Xiang is in your eyes? How could I do that kind of permissive thing with Liu Bei?"
"You didn't do it?"
"Of course not!"
"Then when I asked you just now, why didn't you say anything?"
"Father, there were so many people just now and I don't know what you are talking about. Of course I can't speak!"
Sun Jian covered his face with his hands and lay on the table. He didn't even know what this was. Just because Sun Shangxiang didn't say a word, he caused such a big misunderstanding. The most important thing was that his girl's innocence was lost. .
"Okay, go prepare for the wedding!"
"Father, I don't..."
Before Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, he saw the anger in Sun Jian's eyes. In the end, Sun Shangxiang could only swallow the unfinished words.
Looking at Sun Shangxiang's leaving figure, Sun Jian murmured softly.
"If my girl is such a flower, and Liu Bei, a pig, really takes over, I will make sure that you, Liu Bei, die miserably!"
As Sun Shangxiang left, Zhou Yu and others quickly walked in.
"Lord, we..."
"Shang Xiang's matter is a misunderstanding. You go find Cao Cao and Cao Zhang, and I will explain to them."
Huang Gai nodded.
Soon, Cao Cao brought Cao Zhang to the commander's camp.
After hearing Sun Jian's explanation, Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang behind him with doubt. After all, he was a father. Modern people's thinking led Cao Cao to still want to hear what Cao Zhang meant.
Cao Zhang didn't care. Originally, this marriage was just for the stability of the alliance. He didn't care at all.
Seeing that Cao Zhang had no complaints, Cao Cao naturally had no objections.
"Since Caozhou Mu has no objection, the date will be set in three days. As for the betrothal gifts you mentioned, the entire Jiaozhou..."
Sun Jian rubbed his hands and looked at Cao Cao, who did not continue speaking, but the meaning was already clear.
"Don't worry, after three days of Jiaozhou, it will be yours. I, Cao Cao, will do what I say."
Soon, the two of them had researched everything they needed to prepare for the wedding.
When Gu Rubing returned to the city, he saw Zhuge Liang walking over.
"Lord, let's wait for the news. As soon as Sun Jian enters Jiaozhou, we will use the fastest speed to swallow up Yangzhou. I have asked Pang De to lead the army back, but the place they are going to is not us. This is Guangling County.”
Gu Rubing looked at the map. It was also the fastest route to attack Wu County from Guangling. There were only 30,000 people and one Sun Quan there. Pang De still had 30,000 Taishan Tiger Bandits and 20,000 Anluo Empire soldiers left. Men and horses should be enough.
"We also need to prepare."
Gu Rubing then left Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to guard Cangwu County, while he led Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, three people, and a group of famous generals to Yuzhang County.
Three days later, Gu Rubing's arrangements were basically completed, and Sun Shangxiang's marriage was also in progress in Jiaozhou.
Neither Sun Jian nor Cao Cao expected that Gu Rubing's appetite would be so big this time, and the time of selection was also their busiest time.
Outside Longshu City, Lujiang County, Yangzhou.
A group of soldiers guarding the city yawned helplessly, not paying attention to what was going on around them.
The location they are in is the hinterland of Yangzhou, which can be said to be a quite safe place.
"Boy, are you going to drink later?"
"Okay, senior, you can't drink me every time, and you definitely won't be able to drink from me this time."
"You fart, I..."
On the city wall, a veteran was talking to a new recruit. However, before he could finish speaking, an arrow penetrated the veteran's head.
The recruits on the side suddenly widened their eyes when they saw this situation.
Just as he was about to shout, another arrow penetrated his head again.
Zhang Liao slowly walked out from a distance with five hundred people from Tiefutu, carrying bows and arrows in his hands.
"Siege the city!"
Following Zhang Liao's order, the five hundred iron pagodas moved out of the way, and the two thousand white tiger sun-devouring guards came out from behind and occupied the city wall as quickly as possible.
The Yangzhou Army guarding the county seat did not put up any effective resistance at all. Those who surrendered surrendered, others ran away, and those who were killed were killed.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Longshu City was under control.
Wei Yan followed Zhang Liao into the city. After leaving two hundred people behind, he continued to follow Zhang Liao to the next place.
Outside Wu County, Sun Jian was also reported.
Pang De, with tens of thousands of troops, has already arrived at the city.
Sun Quan didn't believe it at first. After all, Wu County had been stable for such a long time, so how could Liu Bei's people come?
After climbing up the city wall and looking at the dense crowd of people outside the city, Sun Quan really believed it this time.
Now that Lu Xun has been transferred to Jiaozhou, he has no famous generals around him. With 30,000 people against so many opponents, Wu County will definitely not be able to defend it.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan immediately made a decision. On the one hand, he sent someone to notify Sun Jian of Jiaozhou, and on the other hand, he led his people to evacuate Wu County.
Pang De was still setting up his formation, preparing to attack the city by force. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the torches in the city were extinguished, and there were no people on the wall.
Seeing this situation, Pang De was vigilant and wanted to send some people to tentatively enter the city, but the city was empty.
After the Taishan Tiger Thief took control of the city gate, Pang De led people into Ru City.
By the time Sun Jian got the news, it was already early the next morning.
At this time, Cao Cao and Sun Jian had just completely handed over Jiaozhou.
Before Sun Jian came to remember to be happy, he received the bad news from Yangzhou.
In the entire Yangzhou, only Danyang County and Kuaiji County are still in their hands. The reason why Danyang County is still there is entirely because Sun Quan is resisting with 30,000 people.
But obviously he can't resist for long.
After Sun Jian learned the news, he immediately asked Sun Quan to retreat to Kuaiji County, and he rushed to Kuaiji County with a hundred thousand troops gathered by himself and Cao Cao.
Danyang County, Xuancheng.
Sun Quan stood on the city wall, looking at the densely packed Liu Bei army in the distance, sweat already appeared on his palms.
"Young Master, we have asked Kuaiji County for reinforcements, but currently there are no extra troops in the entire Yangzhou that we can mobilize."
Sun Quan knew this a long time ago and sent people to ask for help just to give himself some comfort.
"I understand, let everyone get ready."
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"yes!"
As the lieutenant left, some cold sweat appeared on Sun Quan's forehead.
Outside the city, inside the military camp.
Zhang Liao looked at Xuancheng in the distance and couldn't help but want to attack the city.
But we can't take action now, Pang De hasn't come yet.
"Wenyuan, don't worry, we can launch a general attack when Ling Ming arrives."
"The Lord is still waiting for news from us, and the Lord doesn't know how long he can hold on."
Sun Jian took the 100,000 troops he assembled and arrived at Nanhai County. As soon as he left the city, he met Gu Rubing.
"King Lie, it seems you have been waiting for me for a long time."
Hearing Sun Jian's words, Gu Rubing smiled and nodded.
"Sun Zhoumu, the road here is blocked, please find another road. As for your Yangzhou, I have to decide."
"You want my Yangzhou? Does King Lie have a big appetite? Even if you take my Yangzhou, can you suppress Yangzhou where you are not familiar with? All the aristocratic families will not let you go. of outsiders.”
"There is no need for you, Sun Zhoumu, to consider this."
Seeing that Gu Rubing was determined to win Yangzhou, no matter what he said, it was useless.
"In that case, don't blame me."
After saying that, the Sun family waved directly.
Huang Gai and Lu Xun walked out at the same time.
They are the only two famous generals in Sun Jian's camp. Zhou Yu and Gan Ning are still rushing back to Yizhou.
Seeing the two people coming out, Zhang He and Zhang Ren also walked out.
Huang Gai rushed directly towards Zhang He.
Lu Xun chose Zhang Ren.
Fortunately, Huang Gai's strength is average among the famous generals. Although he is a little defeated by Zhang He, he will not be completely defeated.
The one who suffered the most was Lu Xun.
In order to defeat Lu Xun faster, Zhang Ren used double spear technique.
The two spears were constantly changing in front of Lu Xun, and even the angle of attack was very low-key.
In less than a stick of incense, some injuries appeared on Lu Xun’s body.
Seeing that Lu Xun was not far away from defeat, Sun Jian had no choice but to withdraw his troops and wait for Gan Ning and Zhou Yu to come back.
Seeing that Sun Jian had no intention of attacking, Gu Rubing was naturally not in a hurry. His purpose here was to delay Sun Jian.
Late at night, when Sun Jian was preparing to take a rest, Lu Xun walked outside the commander's camp with an informant.
"My lord, someone from Danyang County is here. He is the young master's messenger."
"Come in."
Sun Jian stood up, saw the person coming in, and asked anxiously: "How is Quan'er?"
"My lord, my lord is fine for the time being. Liu Bei's army has no intention of attacking. He seems to be waiting for something. My guess is that he is waiting for Pound's army. My lord needs urgent support."
Sun Jian naturally knew how difficult it was for Sun Quan in Danyang County. For the war in Jiaozhou, he transferred his only famous general Lu Xun away. It was impossible for Sun Quan to defend a county alone without the advantage of troops and generals.
After thinking for a long time, Sun Jian made a decision.
"Lu Xun, you go back with the messenger. As for the soldiers, you don't need to take them. Go to Kuaiji County, where you will find what you need."
After saying that, Sun Jian directly put a token with a peculiar shape in Lu Xun's hand, along with a map.
Lu Xun didn't understand what Sun Jian meant, but since Sun Jian said it, he just had to do what Sun Jian said.
In one day, Lu Xun came to Kuaiji County.
Looking at the map in his hand, Lu Xun followed the map and came to a forest in public.
After walking a few steps, Lu Xun felt something was wrong.
With many years of marching experience, he felt that the surroundings were too quiet. Generally, this kind of situation can only mean that there are ambushes here.
But Liu Bei's army did not reach Kuaiji County, so how could someone ambush here?
Besides, even if they did, what's the point of ambushing here?
When Lu Xun was about to continue walking, three people came down from the mountain.
These three people looked middle-aged, carrying freshly chopped firewood on their backs, and were talking and laughing all the way down the mountain.
When the three saw Lu Xun, they stopped at the same time and looked at Lu Xun.
"Sir, are you going up the mountain? It's getting dark, and you can't go up the mountain. There are snakes on the mountain, and they are poisonous snakes. Several people have been bitten to death. If you want to go up the mountain, you'd better bring more people."
"Thank you!"
Lu Xun didn't want to say more to them. After thanking them, he still wanted to go up the mountain.
"Sir, why don't you listen to my advice? Didn't I tell you? You can't go up the mountain."
"I know, but I..."
Before Lu Xun finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with the three people in front of him.
He didn't observe carefully before because he was in a hurry to go up the mountain, but now that he was stopped by the other party, he could see that the strength of these people was actually at the level of second-rate generals.
"Aren't you villagers?"
After hearing this, the three people sneered and directly pulled out the knife hidden in the dry firewood and were about to chop Lu Xun.
Lu Xun quickly retreated and avoided the attack.
Although Lu Xun was relatively weak among the ranks of famous generals, it was absolutely impossible for three second-rate generals to hurt him.
"Who are you?"
One of the three looked at Lu Xun. For some reason, he always felt that Lu Xun looked a little familiar.
"I am Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, who are you?"
"Lu Boyan? Lu Xun? Are you the general Lu Xun beside the lord?"
"Lord? Are you the lord's people?"
