Chapter 1742: You fucking call this a pirate?
Jingzhou, Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia, was the base camp of the Sun and Huang coalition at this time.
Under Liu Xiu's pressing pressure, Huang Zu, who only had one county, was in danger.
At this time, Huang Zu could not resist Liu Xiu on his own. Only by asking for reinforcements from outside could he possibly survive this disaster.
However, the eldest brother, the Jingbei Qin Army, now had too much to take care of. In desperation, Huang Zu could only ask for help from Jiangdong Sun Jian, who had had a grudge against him.
Sun Jian also had the opportunity to eliminate Huang Zu and completely occupy Jiangxia, but considering that Liu Xiu was a greater threat, he settled for the next best thing and joined forces with Huang Zu to fight against Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu's army had been victorious in consecutive battles and had captured six counties in Jiangxia. However, as the Sun and Huang families joined forces, the Chu army became more and more difficult in Jiangxia, and even forced Liu Xiu to increase his troops from Jingnan in order to hold on. previous results.
Liu Xiu increased his troops, and Sun Jian had to increase his troops, otherwise the situation in Jiangxia would be difficult to maintain.
Soon, the troops mobilized by the Wu and Chu families in Jiangxia reached nearly 100,000 troops, and the rear area was naturally empty, but now neither side was able to sneak attack the enemy's rear area.
"My Lord, Jiaozhou has only surrendered to Liu Xiu not long ago, and the Taiping Army has not completely returned, so it is impossible for Liu Xiu to send troops from Jiaozhou to attack Jiangdong in the short term." Sun Wu said with confidence.
"Um."
Sun Jian nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, our army does not have to worry about the rear. We can also concentrate on fighting Liu Xiu decisively."
As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers rushed in and reported anxiously: "My lord, something bad happened. A large number of pirates appeared in Wu County and Kuaiji County. After these pirates came ashore, they massacred villages and destroyed villages, killing and wounding countless people."
"What?"
Sun Jian and Sun Wu screamed at the same time, and Sun Jian hurriedly asked: "How many pirates are there?"
"Nearly 20,000 people. At present, Qu'a County in Wu County and Yongning County in Kuaiji have been attacked by pirates.
After these pirates entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, raped women, and committed all kinds of evil. Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and the two counties were reduced to empty cities. "
"What?"
Sun Jian and Sun Wu exclaimed even louder, and then they both gritted their teeth in anger.
At first, they thought that these pirates were disguised as Liu Xiu's troops. They were using this to force the Wu army on the front line to withdraw their troops. But now it seems that they have little to do with Liu Xiu. After all, Liu Xiu definitely doesn't do things like massacre. Will do.
Liu Xiu's behavior is quite benevolent. When he attacked Jiaozhou, no matter how difficult the situation was, he never used a knife on the people. Now that he is at the peak of his reputation, he is even less likely to do something like massacre to ruin his reputation. thing.
"Most of the pirates around Jiangdong have been eliminated by me. Where did so many pirates come from?" Sun Jian said with a puzzled look.
Sun Wu's eyes were full of seriousness, and he said solemnly: "My lord, other forces must have intervened."
"Could it be Liu Xiu?" Sun Jian asked.
Sun Wu shook his head: "It should have nothing to do with Liu Xiu, but we can also see this as an opportunity to tarnish Liu Xiu's reputation."
"good idea."
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Sun Jian's eyes. Sun Wu's implication was that regardless of whether Liu Xiu did it or not, even if Liu Xiu could prove his innocence in the end, this basin of dirty water would be poured on Liu Xiu's head to distract him. attention.
"The top priority is to wipe out this pirate as soon as possible. If they are allowed to massacre the city in Wu County and Kuaiji, our Wu Kingdom may really suffer." Sun Wu said with a solemn face.
"But where did the soldiers come from?" Sun Jian asked.
"The frontline army cannot move lightly and can only rely on the county soldiers in the rear."
"There are nearly 20,000 pirates this time. Can we defeat them with the county soldiers alone?"
"In fact, the county soldiers are not weak in combat power. As long as they are led by good commanders and strong generals, they will be able to repel the pirates."
After saying this, Sun Wu took the initiative to ask for orders: "Wu is willing to lead the army to destroy the pirates."
"No, no."
When Sun Jian heard this, he quickly shook his head and said: "Liu Xiu is a greater threat. Brother Wu must not leave the front line."
As soon as Sun Jian finished speaking, Sun Ce and Sun Quan stood up at the same time and said in unison: "Father, I am willing to lead the army and drive away the pirates."
Seeing this, Sun Wu thought for a while and said: "The eldest son is brave and decisive, and the second son is both wise and brave. He will definitely be able to repel the pirates and enhance the power of our army."
"Okay, in that case, Ce'er, you will be responsible for destroying the pirates in Kuaiji."
After saying this, Sun Jian looked at Sun Quan again and said: "Quan'er, you are responsible for destroying the pirates in Wu County. I will send General Zhou Tai to assist you because you are young."
Sun Quan was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."
Sun Ce and Sun Quan immediately took office and rushed to Wu County and Kuaiji to take charge of the affairs. However, this time they were not ordinary pirates, and their cunning was far beyond the two brothers' expectations.
Sun Ce's opponent this time is Akechi Mitsuhide, and Sun Quan's opponent is Tokugawa Ieyasu, both of whom are top famous generals in the history of Japan's Warring States Period.
After Sun Ce learned that Shan County was besieged by pirates, he immediately led 6,000 county soldiers to support them. However, when they arrived, the pirates had already fled and could only stare at the sea in silence.
Sun Quan blocked Tokugawa Ieyasu in time, and launched a fierce battle in Fuchun County with 8,000 county soldiers and 10,000 Japanese pirates. As a result, both the battle formation and the generals were completely defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In the end, if Zhou Tai hadn't fought desperately to save him, Sun Quan might have died in the battle, and more than half of the eight thousand county soldiers would have been killed or injured.
After the defeat, Sun Quan was no longer able to encircle and suppress Tokugawa Ieyasu, and could only cling to Wu County, where he was in charge, and watched helplessly as Tokugawa Ieyasu manipulated and acted recklessly in Wu County.
"Second Young Master, have mercy on me, have mercy on me, I really didn't know that these pirates could be so powerful," the Fuchun County Magistrate cried.
Sun Quan lifted up the Fuchun County Magistrate with an angry look and roared: "You fucking call this a pirate? These are obviously the elite of the Japanese army."
Sun Quan really thought that his opponent was a pirate, and he underestimated the enemy, so he rushed to fight. As a result, the opponent showed superb qualities that were not possessed by pirates at all.
Through clothing, weapons, and language, Sun Quan could easily analyze the origin of the other party. After all, Japan and Sun Wu had not had much exchanges over the years.
"Immediately pass on the news that the pirates are Japanese pirates to my elder brother and father."
After saying that, Sun Quan slumped down on the ground. He thought he would show off his skills this time, but instead he was embarrassed and humiliated.

In Xuzhou, when Zhu Di learned that the rear was attacked by pirates, two counties were massacred, and tens of thousands of people died, he was immediately shocked and angry.
"Di'er, the main force of our army needs to resist the Song and Wei coalition forces. We cannot mobilize them lightly. We can only use county soldiers to deal with the pirates." Fan Zeng said with a serious face.
"They're just pirates, they're just a ragtag group of people. It's enough to have county soldiers." Zhu Di said with a cold face.
"As for the general who will lead the army, who are you going to send?"
"I, the king, will go in person." Zhu Di said sonorously and forcefully.
