In Jiangxia, due to Sun He's nonsense, the war situation collapsed. The Soochow navy lost more than half of its combat power, and Xiakou was also lost.
After capturing Xiakou, the Han navy immediately divided into two groups.
Along the way, Zhongli Mu led the Xiangyang navy to stay in Xiakou. While consolidating Xiakou's defense, he also transported the Jingzhou infantry led by Zhang Xi across the river, entered the south bank of the Yangtze River, and marched in the direction of Moling County.
On the other hand, under the leadership of Yang Xi and Wang Jun, they pursued the victory and attacked the remaining Soochow navy at Sanjiangkou.
It is necessary to ensure that this Soochow navy has no ability to return to Xiakou and protect the food and grass line of the Han soldiers crossing the river until the Han army captures the entire Moling County and establishes an advance base on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
This news spread back to Jianye, which made Sun Quan furious.
The purpose of asking Sun He Chijie to inspect the Xiakou military camp was to boost the morale of the Xiakou army and appease Quan Cong. Wouldn't it be better for this guy to deprive Quan Cong of his military power when he got to the army? !
Does this idiot know how much impact this will have on the morale of the military and how much impact it will have on frontline operations? !
Well, even if this idiot really did it without thinking, he should at least figure out how to deal with the aftermath, right? !
Instead of handing over the military power to Ding Feng, the second person you arranged, you have to lead the troops yourself? !
Do you have that ability? Do you really think that fighting is just like playing house? !
To take a step back, even if you take the military power yourself and the enemy comes to attack, there are so many experienced generals in the army, don't you know how to listen to the generals' advice? !
I have repeatedly discouraged you not to leave the station and just hold on to the camp. This idiot actually took the initiative to fight? !
Well now, Xiakou has been lost and the Shu army has invaded the south bank of the Yangtze River! ! !
When things got to this point, Sun Quan didn't get angry, which is a sign of Sun Quan's physical strength.
And Sun Quan, after all, can be regarded as the hero of the area.
Although the situation has worsened now, Sun Quan has no intention of giving up.
According to the frontline battle report, Ding Feng has now led the remaining naval forces to garrison at Sanjiangkou. Although Xiakou has been lost, as long as Moling is defended and no cross-river barrier is established for the Shu soldiers, there is still room for recovery in this battle.
Therefore, Sun Quan immediately ordered Zhu Ran to lead his troops, plus half of Jianye's forbidden army, totaling 30,000 people, to garrison in Moling County as soon as possible.
Zhu Ran brought 30,000 people, plus the 20,000 people originally in Moling County, for a total of 50,000 people, which was equivalent to the soldiers led by Zhang Xi who crossed the river. Ding Feng also assisted at the mouth of Sanjiang to protect the northern part of Moling County. It's not like I can't hold the side.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Quan ordered Zhuge Ke, who was stationed in Xiling, to immediately cross the Han River along the north side of Jiangxia, counterattack Jiangling, and implement a strategy to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.
Today's Jingzhou Navy has all concentrated in the Yangtze River Basin, and the Han River Basin no longer has the support of the Jingzhou Navy. It is possible to forcefully cross the Han River.
But now that Jiangling County soldiers have been led across the Yangtze River by Zhang Xi, Jiangling must be empty when they reach the outskirts of Moling County. Let Zhuge Ke send troops for a sneak attack, which may attract Zhang Xi to retreat for rescue and break the siege of Moling County.
Of course, Sun Quan also knew that once Zhang Xi crossed the river, he would not be able to retreat so easily. After all, capturing Moling County would directly threaten Jianye, which was a great achievement of destroying the country, and Zhang Xi would not retreat easily.
However, now Sun Quan has no choice, he must use all available means.
Not to mention, if Zhuge Ke did not return to attack Jiangling, once the Shu army captured Sanjiangkou, the 30,000 Jiangxia infantry led by Zhuge Ke would be completely trapped in the northern part of Jiangxia, making it difficult to retreat.
Anyway, it will be over sooner or later. If you give it a try, you might be able to accomplish something extraordinary.
This is the best way Sun Quan can think of to deal with it at this stage.
But before Zhu Ran could lead his troops and set out, Idiot No. 2 also started acting like a monster.
According to the frontline military report, Zhu Ju, who was fighting against the Shu army on the front line in Runan, was defeated by Shu general Zhang Yi. The entire army withdrew from Runan and retreated to Huainan to hold on.
This was not the end yet. Zhuge Jin and Sun Shao, who were defending Xiapi County, were defeated by Wen Qin again. They lost Xiapi County and retreated to Huainan.
At this point, the connection between Huainan and Qingxu was completely severed, and it was only a matter of time before Qingxu fell.
The culprit behind all this is actually the lack of food and grass on the Huainan front line! ! !
Sun Quan was angry and shocked when he read this military report. He could not understand why Gu Yong, who had always been calm and sophisticated, made such a big mistake in allocating food and grass. There was actually a shortage of food and grass ahead. .
Just when Sun Quan was confused, his third son, Sun Ba, suddenly broke into his palace angrily, saying that he wanted to impeach Gu Yong for neglecting his duty and getting the wrong amount of grain and grass sent to Huainan! ! !
Well, now Sun Quan was so angry that he just lay down and didn't move.
What kind of person is Sun Quan? In foreign wars, he may really pull his hips, but in domestic affairs, there are really not many people in the world who can handle him, especially in internal political struggles.
How could Sun Quan not know what abilities and temperament Gu Yong had? !
Not to mention that it is impossible for Gu Yong to make a mistake in the amount of military rations sent to the front line. Even if Gu Yong did make a mistake, he would have enough ways to adjust as soon as possible to ensure the supply of food and grass to the front line.
Furthermore, if Gu Yong really cannot fill this hole, with Gu Yong's responsibility, he will report to himself as soon as possible and then accept the crime. How could it be your turn, Sun Ba, to impeach me in a hypocritical manner? !
This thing is so weird from the inside out, and with Gu Yong's abilities and methods, he simply can't do such an inferior thing.
Therefore, Sun Quan only needed to think about it for a moment to understand that this must be Sun Ba's trick to frame Gu Yong.
In the past, Sun Quan might have considered the balance of the government and considered whether to follow Sun Ba, punish Gu Yong, and weaken the power of some princes.
But now, it's wartime. How stupid can these idiots be to do such terrible things at this time? !
The second son ignored the overall situation of the front line, deprived the front line commander of the military power, and led the troops to a defeat like a pile of fire. The second son played tricks on the rear, causing the front line soldiers to lose one and a half states of land due to lack of food. He was the one who created it. What a sin, two prodigal things like these! ! !
Under the continuous blows, Sun Quan, who was already over sixty years old, finally couldn't bear it anymore. After a while of dizziness, he fainted directly in his palace.
Sun Quan fainted, which frightened Sun Ba. After a flurry of excitement, he summoned the imperial doctor for treatment, and Sun Quan woke up briefly.
After Sun Quan woke up, he endured a severe headache and immediately ordered Chen Xun to lead Jianye's last naval force out of the Yangtze River estuary and go north to Qingzhou to assist the retreat of the Soochow troops trapped in Qingxu. We are about to surrender to Shu Han.
Qingxu definitely can't be saved.
After that, Sun Quan ordered Lu Xun in Huainan to shrink his defense line and hold on to Shouchun. If Shouchun really couldn't hold it, he could retreat to Ruxukou and use the special geographical location of Ruxuwu to continue to block the Shu thieves from going south.
After making these arrangements, Sun Quan fell into a coma again.
When Sun Quan woke up again, it was already three days later. When he woke up this time, Sun Quan could clearly feel that his body seemed to be much weaker than before.
But fortunately, Sun Quan's mind was still clear. After thinking calmly for a while, Sun Quan immediately sent someone to summon Gu Yong to see him.
Summoning Gu Yong was an idea that Sun Quan had carefully considered.
Gu Yong is among the civil and military ministers currently staying in Jianye. He has the highest official position, the most seniority, and the minister who can best stabilize the situation. If something happens to him, Gu Yong can stabilize the political situation while continuing to supply frontline operations.
Secondly, summoning Gu Yong actually means that Sun Quan has made his final plan-to stabilize the status of Prince Sun He.
In fact, Sun Quan knew that whether it was Gu Yong or Lu Xun, they only supported the prince and supported the righteousness. Sun He was the prince, so they would support Sun He. If Sun Ba was the prince, they would also support Sun Ba. of.
This is also the reason why Sun Quan is willing to let Sun He and Sun Ba fight for power. In the end, no matter who the prince is, Lu Xun, Gu Yong and others will support him and will not cause unnecessary civil strife.
But now, the situation is different.
With a large army pressing down on the country outside and a stupid son cheating on his father inside, Sun Quan must consider whether he can achieve a smooth transition of power if he really has an emergency.
Under the current circumstances, the prince Sun He, who occupies the rightful position, obviously has more status than the king of Lu, Sun Ba, and is more likely to be accepted by most people. Sun Quan summoned Gu Yong, and he also wanted to send such a signal to the outside world.
However, Sun Quan still had one point, which was rather thoughtless.
That is - now Sun He is outside, and Sun Ba is at the side.
Sun Quan summoned Gu Yong, which not only sent a signal to the civil and military officials in the court to support Sun He, but also sent the same signal to Sun Ba.
How could Sun Ba sit still?
Over the years, Sun Ba and Sun He have been competing for each other and have already had deep grudges. Sun Ba does not believe that once he loses power, Sun He will let him go easily.
Sun Ba may be useless, but Sun Ba also knows exactly what kind of person Sun He is.
In addition, there are really no decent advisers around Sun Ba to advise Sun Ba. Sun Ba himself is not the kind of person with brains. If he doesn't fight now, he will die in the future.
Therefore, in November of the sixth year of Wu Chiwu, Sun Ba, the king of Lu, led troops to surround Taichu Palace in the name of "Qingjun side", and a mutiny broke out.
