Although Jianye is the administrative seat of Jiangdong, it did not take long to build.
The real foundation of Jiangdong should be Wuxian County!
Wu County is the largest and most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River. Sun Ce took this place first and used it as a foundation to conquer cities and land everywhere, laying a solid foundation for Jiangdong.
After hearing Lu Xun's suggestion, Sun Quan hesitated.
If he really retreats to Wuxian, his Yangtze River defense line, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, will be in vain!
The Jiangdong Navy also wanted to abandon their warships and fight Cao Jun on land!
He was really reluctant to let go!
Lu Xun saw Sun Quan's thoughts and persuaded him,
"As long as we return to Wu County, Wu Hou can call on the people of Jiangdong to raise troops to resist Cao Cao!"
"But if we continue to be in a stalemate here, there will be no chance of a comeback!"
Sun Quan sighed helplessly,
"Forget it, just do as you say and retreat!"
"Marquis Wu, what should Governor Zuo and the others in Chaisang City do?"
Lu Su asked tentatively.
Without waiting for Sun Quan to answer, Lu Xun said decisively,
"Now that the situation is unfavorable, Wu Hou will be a strong man and his arm will be cut off!"
Chaisang City has been surrounded by Cao's army. It is almost impossible to rescue Cheng Pu and others!
Besides, rescuing them would only make the situation even more unfavorable to Sun Quan.
Jiangdong's army without Chai Sang went to hold back Cao's army. Once Cao's army caught up, it would be almost impossible for Sun Quan to return to Wu County safely!
Sun Quan naturally understood this truth.
A flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he nodded heavily,
"Bo Yan is right, Mr. Zijing, you should hurry up and prepare!"
Lu Su and others sighed secretly in their hearts, but they couldn't say anything more and left one after another.
Soon only Sun Quan and Lu Xun were left in the hall.
"Why don't Boyan get ready?"
Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun doubtfully.
Lu Xun pondered for a moment, then came forward and whispered,
"May I ask Wu Hou, why did the two generals Han Dang and Huang Gai rebel?"
When Sun Quan heard this, a look of uneasiness flashed across his face.
"How can I possibly know why they rebelled? Maybe they are greedy for life and afraid of death, or they are just greedy for Cao Wei's glory and wealth!"
Although Lu Xun had not been in contact with Huang Gai and Han Dang for a short time, he also knew their personalities.
With their characters, it is absolutely impossible for them to choose to join Cao Wei in order to survive or gain wealth!
There must be a huge secret in this!
Lu Xun sighed, but he sighed, shook his head and said,
"The situation has reached the current stage. Does Wu Hou still want to hide it from his subordinates?"
"I hope Wu Hou will tell the truth and avoid a bigger crisis!"
Sun Quan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he said after a long time,
"If I guessed correctly, Yang Ling should have told them a secret."
"What secret?"
Lu Xun said subconsciously.
"Zhou Gongjin... was killed by my order!"
Sun Quan's words were no less than a thunder in Lu Xun's ears!
He was stunned for a moment and then said in disbelief,
"Didn't Governor Zhou die accidentally?"
Sun Quan shook his head with a complicated expression, and then told the whole truth of the matter.
After hearing the whole story, Lu Xun was angry and angry.
He suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice,
"Captain Gong Jin has made great contributions to Jiangdong and is loyal to Wu Hou. How could Wu Hou kill him? Isn't this self-destruction of the city wall?"
"Putting aside the facts, isn't Zhou Yu right?"
Although he felt guilty, Sun Quan still defended firmly.
Lu Xun almost lost his temper.
For the first time, he discovered that Sun Quan was so disgraceful!
"It must have been the tiger soldiers under the carriage sent by Wu Hou to protect Huang Gai. After being captured, in order to survive, they told Yang Ling about Zhou Gongjin's murder."
"Huang Gai and Han Dang both have deep friendships with Zhou Yu, otherwise they would not betray Jiang Dong!"
Lu Xun rubbed his forehead and said with some hatred that iron cannot become steel.
"Marquis Wu is just going to attack Zhou Gongjin, why don't you be more clean and kill those few tiger soldiers who were dismounted from the car!"
"I was negligent in this."
Sun Quan also felt a little regretful.
When he first saw that no one had any objections after Zhou Yu was eliminated by him, he was a little careless and failed to deal with the tiger soldiers under the car.
If I had known today, I should have gotten rid of all those people!
Lu Xun pondered for a moment and then said,
"That's it for now, there's nothing more to say."
"If we don't want any more accidents to happen, we should put all the generals who have good relations with Zhou Yu under control!"
"In addition, Wu Hou also wants to be the first to tell everyone that this matter was completely framed by Yang Ling!"
Sun Quan nodded repeatedly like a chicken scratching rice.
"Everything depends on Boyan!"
"Then my subordinate will resign first!"
Lu Xun saluted Sun Quan and turned to leave.
After exiting the cabin, he sighed deeply.
Although he had no friendship with Zhou Yu, they were both Jiangdong subjects.
Even Zhou Yu, who had made great military exploits for Jiangdong, was killed by Sun Quan.
How do you know that in the future, Sun Quan won't do something to him because he is suspicious of him?
Thinking of this, Lu Xun couldn't help but feel worried!
…
Outside Chaisang City, Cao Jun camped.
"Military advisor, when will we attack the city?"
Wei Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, we have been besieging the city for several days without attacking the city. What are we waiting for?"
Ma Chao was also quite impatient.
Pang Tong, who was sitting in the hall, put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile,
"Generals, please be patient. Sun Quan's reinforcements are watching eagerly on the river. Once we attack the city, he will send troops to attack our army's flanks."
"As a result, our army will definitely be at a disadvantage!"
Ma Chao smiled nonchalantly and said,
"Just let him come. With our strength, is it possible that we are still afraid of them?"
"Yes! Our soldiers are united and strong. Even if another enemy army comes, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Generals Wei Yan and Wen Chou also nodded in praise.
Seeing that they did not listen to the advice, Pang Tong said with a straight face,
"This matter was personally ordered by the general. We are not allowed to attack Chaisang until Sun Quan retreats!"
Once they heard that it was Yang Ling's order, everyone shut up and stopped complaining.
Wenpin touched his chin and muttered,
"This time Sun Quan has brought troops to support Chai Sang. If we don't retreat, how will he retreat? Unless..."
"Unless there's a fire in Koto's backyard!"
Zhao Yun on the side also reacted,
"Could it be that eldest brother sent troops from Hefei to attack Jianye?!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong thought for a while, nodded and said,
"The two generals guessed it right. The general is heading straight for Jianye!"
"Let me just say, the general must have a reason for telling us to stand still! General Wenchang, you are just too impatient!"
Ma Chao clapped his hands and laughed.
